Immortal Refiner

"Brother Xu, I can't bear it anymore." Junior Brother Wang, who was traveling with Xu Xia, said in a deep voice, and the expression on his face showed that he could no longer bear the anger in his heart.

Xu Xia did not speak. He had been in the immortal way for a long time. Seeing this kind of suffering in the world again, his immortal heart, which had not been stained by the mortal world for a long time, was shaken again.

Seeing Xu Xia's silence, Junior Brother Wang finally stopped enduring. He clenched his left hand, and a faint spiritual light emerged from the palm of his hand.

As a cultivator, even if he was only a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, he could easily kill all the people in the gambling house. This was not a problem for him at all.

But Xu Xia reacted quickly. He grabbed his junior brother beside him, then shook his head and whispered: "Junior brother Wang, don't be impulsive!"

"The sect rules must not be forgotten! Casting magic to harm mortals in public here is not in line with the sect rules!"

But this junior brother surnamed Wang did not remove the spiritual power gathered in his palm. He had murderous intent in his eyes and said in a cold tone:

"This place is 108,000 miles away from the sect. What if I kill him?"

"What's more, if I do it, no one will find out!"

Xu Xia still shook his head firmly: "No, let's not talk about whether this behavior is reasonable or not. Think about it, if a mortal family loses its pillar, how good will the end be?"

"This person is addicted to gambling, but he is not guilty of death."

After saying this, Junior Brother Wang frowned, but he finally dispersed the spiritual power gathered in his palm.

"So what do you think we should do, Senior Brother Xu? Are we just going to sit there and do nothing?"

After being silent for a while, Xu Xia sighed and walked back to the crying woman in front of the gambling house:

"Mother, I know a little bit about medicine and can help you treat your child's cold!"

The woman raised her head and looked at the young man with tears in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice: "My benefactor, I have no money at home."

Before the woman finished speaking, Xu Xia smiled gently and said: "Although I am not from the charity cemetery, I also do some good deeds on weekdays. I will consider it as accumulating some good karma. I don't want to pay for the treatment this time."

"Ah? Thank you, my benefactor, thank you!" The woman was about to kowtow, but was helped up by Xu Xia.

"Mother, you should go see your child first, lest it delays the illness."

"Besides, I'm not a person with great medical skills. If you want to thank me, wait until I cure your child's cold before thanking me!"

In this way, under the guidance of the woman, Xu Xia came to her home and saw a thin and weak child.

Of course, he didn't know any medical skills, but as a cultivator, he also had some methods for this.

That is to use the pure spiritual power cultivated in his own dantian to temper the body and activate the blood, so that he can survive this cold.

After a long time, this weak child in coarse linen clothes, after being tempered by pure spiritual power, his pale face finally became ruddy.

Sweat soaked his coarse linen clothes, and after this sweat was forced out, the child finally regained his vitality.

For this reason, Xu Xia also took several breaths in succession, and it seemed that he was also exhausted, which was very strange.

He was clearly a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. How could he show such a burdened expression when he was just trying to dispel the cold?

The woman next to him was completely stunned. She had lived for half her life and had never seen such amazing medical skills. It was not enough to describe him as a miracle doctor.

"What a miracle doctor! What a miracle doctor!"

"You must be a god from heaven! Thank you for saving my child's life!"

"Child, come and kneel down and kowtow to the benefactor who saved your life!"

The woman cried with joy and quickly pulled her child to kneel down and kowtow.

But this time, Xu Xia did not refuse. He accepted the gift calmly.

After kneeling three times and kowtowed nine times, Xu Xia raised the mother and son and said gently: "Mother, I have some silver here. I just saw a martial arts school in the town. You can take this money to send your child to the martial arts school to learn martial arts."

"Practicing martial arts can strengthen your body, so you don't have to worry about the torture of these colds in the future."

The woman hesitated for a while, and finally took the silver with tears in her eyes.

Xu Xia said: "I think this child has a good foundation. He should be a good martial arts candidate and will achieve something in the martial arts in the future!"

"In addition, remember to teach him to be kind to others. In the future, he must not bully the weak and become a treacherous and evil person!"

After that, Xu Xia and his junior brother Wang left this mortal town.

After a while, a tall figure suddenly walked out at some point.

Li Qing looked at the child who had just recovered and showed a satisfied smile:

"Follow the rules, respect the lives of mortals, and be capable but not reckless!"

"And not only help people for a while, but also help people for a lifetime."

"Good!"

Li Qing, who has a unique vision, naturally saw at a glance what Xu Xia had done to the child's body.

He not only helped the child dispel the cold, but also spent more of his own spiritual power to activate blood, wash marrow, and strengthen tendons and bones!

This child's body has surpassed many of his peers, and is definitely a good seedling for martial arts.

In the future, if he embarks on the path of martial arts, even if his comprehension is poor, he can achieve quite good results.

Furthermore, after this child masters a certain amount of force, he will also have the ability to change his own destiny.

As for his father, who is addicted to gambling at home, it probably won't cause much trouble in his life.

There is no doubt that Xu Xia successfully passed this small test. This watertight behavior made Li Qing quite satisfied.

Snapped!

Li Qing snapped his fingers, and a ball of pure essence popped out from his fingertips and instantly sank into the child's body.

After entering the late stage of pill formation, Li Qing became more comfortable in controlling his own true energy.

He had just condensed a seed with his true essence and planted it into the child's body. In the future, this ball of true essence would silently continue to temper his body and activate his blood, making his journey in martial arts smoother.

Thinking about it, it is foreseeable that a powerful warrior will emerge from Soochow Town in the future.

After doing all this, Li Qing's figure flashed and disappeared.

Xiling, this is an extremely green mountain range that retains the most original scenery.

From time to time, birds started to fly in the forest, and from time to time, the roars of one or two wild beasts were heard.

And at the foot of the mountain, two dusty figures finally rushed over.

Along the way, Xu and Xia experienced several clever tests secretly set by Li Qing. This journey was definitely exciting.

Of course, Xu Xia did not disappoint Li Qing's regard. He showed his overall view and excellent quality, passed Li Qing's test time and time again, and came to the place where he performed his mission without any danger.

"Phew! Is this the experience of going out to perform a sect mission? It's much more difficult than I imagined." Junior Brother Wang, who was going on a sect mission for the first time, let out a sigh of relief and thought to himself Finally arrived at the destination.

Xu Xia was silent for a while, and then said: "There will indeed be more troubles on the road this time than usual, but things are unpredictable, and it is reasonable to encounter all kinds of things."

"Fortunately, we arrived at our destination without any danger!"

"But we can't let our guard down in the future. The remnants of the Shangqing Sect, even if they are only in the late stage of Qi refining, are not existences that can be underestimated."

While talking, the two decided on the strategy for this operation.

They planned to use one of them as bait, pretending to come to pick fresh pine cones from ancient trees, hoping to fish out the remnants of the Shangqing Sect. As for the remaining one, they were lurking in the dark to catch them by surprise.

"Junior Brother Wang, your cultivation is at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. I have a first-level mid-grade breath-containing talisman that can allow you to perfect your cultivation to the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage without being noticed."

"Don't worry, senior brother, just leave it all to me. I think I can handle just a few monks in the late stage of Qi refining!" Junior Brother Wang is quite confident, which is his pride as an inner disciple of Lingyun Sect. and self-esteem.

Xu Xia frowned and said: "Don't be careless! I always feel that this mission will not be that simple. After all, the opponent was once a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, and his fighting skills will never be any worse than you and me."

"Hahaha, senior brother, please rest assured. Some time ago, I entrusted the sect's weapon refining hall to refine a high-grade magic weapon for me. It can definitely defeat any monk in the Qi refining stage!"

"Okay, senior brother Xu can just comb the formation for me secretly, I'm going to take action!"

After a few seconds, the two of them made a decision and started taking action.

And in the sky above Xiling, a mysterious and powerful spiritual consciousness secretly swept across the mountain range, and no monks in the mountain range were aware of it.

This spiritual consciousness was naturally swept out by Li Qing. After sweeping out, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that this mission is really not that simple. I originally wanted to set a final test here, but now it seems that it is not necessary."

Li Qing touched his chin, then nodded secretly, continued to hide, and silently observed the next development.

In the Xiling Mountains, there are so many branches and leaves that if a person is thrown in, he will be directly submerged by the dense and lush vegetation, and it is difficult to cause any movement.

A man holding an ordinary hunting knife entered the mountain. He was dressed in a brocade robe and looked extraordinary.

He cut off all the thorn trees and vines blocking the road ahead, and forcibly carved out a passable road.

All the way deep into the West Ridge, the obstacles ahead were nothing to him, because the hunting knife in his hand was extremely sharp, and there was a touch of golden light on the blade, which was unusual.

Finally, in the deepest part of the mountain range, several ancient pine trees stood in front of his field of vision.

There are no more obstacles from vines and thorns here, and the place suddenly becomes a lot emptyer.

However, there are still a large number of fallen leaves piled on the ground, which are thick and soft, and they make a rustling sound when stepped on.

"Are these the pine cones produced by ancient trees? There are so many more. This time I put some more in the storage bag and I should be able to replace them with some spiritual stones!"

Junior Brother Wang looked at the fruits on the crowns of several lush pine trees with a look of surprise on his face.

Without hesitation, he patted the storage bag and took out a low-grade flying sword.

He controlled the flying sword and began to harvest the plump pine cones on the tree. In a few seconds, a large number of fruits fell down.

While he was concentrating on harvesting the fruits, the thick accumulation of fallen leaves on the ground suddenly rose up, and he saw a huge white net covering the sky!

However, Junior Brother Wang was not surprised but laughed instead. He said in a cold voice: "You are such a secretive person. Do you finally dare to show up?"

As his voice rang out, he pinched his hand, and several balls of red fire emerged from his body and quickly burned towards the giant net.

Boom!

The air suddenly became hot, and even the fallen leaves on the ground were automatically burned.

But as the sea of ​​fire showed a tendency to spread throughout the forest, the giant net in the sky, which was made of unknown material, easily extinguished several balls of fire!

The flames on the ground were also extinguished suddenly, and a burst of thick smoke spread out.

Junior Brother Wang said nothing, and then took out a giant shield with a red cloud branded on it from his storage bag.

"Red Cloud Shield!"

Buzz!

The giant shield vibrated, and groups of bright red clouds like sunsets expanded and protected him well, and he was not covered by the giant net.

"Haha, a top-grade magic weapon? This person is really not an ordinary casual cultivator!"

"I think he is a disciple sent by Lingyun Sect? The fifth level of Qi Refining Stage, this cultivation level is probably not real!"

"It doesn't matter, as long as he is not a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, what is there to be afraid of?"

Soon, several cultivators in black robes appeared from the ancient pine trees. Just now, they were perfectly integrated with the ancient trees and were difficult to detect!

Junior Brother Wang, who was protected by the Red Cloud Shield, had a slightly gloomy face, but he was not too panicked. He had a certain confidence in his heart.

"Now that Qingling Territory dares to despise our Lingyun Sect so much, I think you are the remnants of Shangqing Sect, right?" Junior Brother Wang whispered calmly.

One of the black-robed men said fearlessly: "Hey, so what? Why don't you surrender, and we can still give you a quick death."

In response, Junior Brother Wang's eyes turned cold, and he immediately activated the Red Cloud Shield with all his strength.

This top-grade magic weapon suddenly expanded and broke through the giant net covering the surrounding area.

The next moment, the huge red cloud shield suppressed several black-robed men in front.

"You are not the only one in Lingyun Sect that has top-grade magic weapons!"

The black-robed man in the lead snorted coldly, and with a single hand, a dark golden mountain-splitting axe chopped directly out.

Bang!

The axe chopped on the giant shield, and the powerful energy spread out.

But this is not over yet. The others also have their own magic weapons that they can rely on. Although they are not top-grade magic weapons, they are also at the level of middle-grade magic weapons.

In an instant, several magic weapons were sacrificed and refined at the same time, locking onto the figure of Junior Brother Wang.

At this critical moment, there were suddenly a few dense electric lights and wisps of red flames in the air!

Rumble! Boom!

Before the blink of an eye, several purple thunders exploded, and a red fire python formed out of thin air!

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly became chaotic, and the thunder attribute spiritual power and fire attribute spiritual power surged at the same time, each with its own powerful power, blasting towards the black-robed men in front!

Talisman!

Someone activated two first-grade superior talismans in a row! This is incredible!

A thin and tall figure rushed out of the forest, carrying an ancient red tassel spear behind him, which made him look extremely heroic!

That's right, this person is Xu Xia!

He just observed carefully and made sure that there were no more Qi Refining cultivators lurking around, so he took action.

First, the Thunderstorm Talisman and the Fire Python Talisman were two powerful first-grade superior attack talismans, and then he rushed out while the talismans were working, and threw the spear directly.

Whoosh!

The spear penetrated the air, carrying an unparalleled momentum, and instantly stabbed the black-robed man in the lead.

"Sure enough, there are reinforcements! Elder Bai, help me!"

Elder Bai?

After these words came out, Xu Xia was stunned for a moment, and then his scalp suddenly became numb.

He immediately stopped his charge, turned around and grabbed Junior Brother Wang beside him, and planned to escape.

And there are elders!!!

How could there still be elders alive in Shangqing Sect? !

The current situation did not allow him to think too much, because the elders meant that they were practitioners in the foundation-building period, far from the existence that the two of them could match.

Sure enough, the next moment, the wood-attributed spiritual energy of the surrounding forests suddenly stagnated, and all the trees seemed to be attracted.

Soon, the fallen leaves piled on the ground seemed to come alive, and suddenly floated up, wrapping all the black-robed people, resisting the bombardment of the fire python and the thunder.

I saw a white-haired figure falling from the treetops, his face was gloomy, and his eyes did not contain a trace of emotion.

"Two Qi Refining Juniors, if I let you run away in this forest, I, Bai Qianfan, would not have to live."

After the words fell, the fallen leaves on the ground were still floating up, and all the floating dead leaves were attracted by Xu Xia and the others.

At this moment, they couldn't leave even if they wanted to, as all the trees seemed to come alive and blocked their way.

Then, a large number of dead leaves covered them and directly wrapped Xu Xia and the others tightly.

The hunchbacked old man who suddenly appeared walked forward slowly. With his eyelashes empty, he did not rush to kill the two people, but said leisurely:

"You caught two disciples in the late Qi Refining period, and another one is a great perfection of the Qi Refining period. I think you two should be inner disciples of Lingyun Sect, right?"

As the old man said this, he shook his finger that was like a dead branch.

Soon, part of the fallen leaves wrapping Xu and Xia loosened, revealing their ugly cheeks.

The surviving men in black robes from behind also gathered around with laughter. They looked at Xu Xia and Junior Brother Wang jokingly, and sneered:

"Hahahaha, you two don't really think that the news that I am waiting to be a tribulation cultivator in Xiling was accidentally leaked, right?"

"Elder Bai is really clever and clever. He deliberately let a loose cultivator go. Unexpectedly, he actually lured an inner disciple of Lingyun Sect!"

“With these two inner disciples, we should be able to successfully place spies in Lingyun Sect.

Listening to the compliments from around him, Elder Bai didn't show much joy.

He said in a gloomy tone: "Do you two want to survive?"

Junior Brother Wang spat angrily: "Bah, the remnants of the Shangqing Sect are really insidious. I'm in trouble this time. I'll kill you or hack you to pieces!"

But Xu Xia rolled his eyes and said, "Senior, I naturally don't want to die if I can live! What is your purpose?"

Junior Brother Wang was startled and looked at his Senior Brother Xu in disbelief. He did not expect that he, a decent man, would actually bow to the enemies of the sect at this time!

Elder Bai nodded and said, "I want you to be my spy who breaks into Lingyun Sect! Do some trivial things for me in the future."

Xu Xia pondered for a while, and then said: "What good will this do to me?"

As soon as these words came out, Elder Bai's ancient and calm face finally revealed a smile.

"Of course, you can survive this way, and I can also provide you with some help in the future, so that you can accumulate more sect contributions faster and help you obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Xu Xia's expression changed. She first glanced at her junior brother Wang, and then said with a determined attitude: "Okay! I promise this, senior!"

Junior Brother Wang was startled, and then he immediately started yelling: "Xu, you bastard, how dare you betray the sect!"

"I really misjudged you before. If you do such a thing, are you worthy of the sect's cultivation of you?"

But Xu Xia didn't take it seriously at all and said: "Junior Brother Wang, I did not step into the Immortal Dao just to die here without knowing why. I advise you to recognize the situation quickly."

Listening to the debate between the two, Elder Bai smiled and shook his head:

"You two don't need to act for me here. I won't let you go just based on your verbal promise."

"Want to survive? It's very simple. Let go of the sea of ​​consciousness on your own without any thoughts of resistance."

"After I put this withered spirit flower seed into your sea of ​​consciousness, I will let you leave here, and I will even bring you a few corpses of casual cultivators back to the sect for business."

With that said, Elder Bai took a withered yellow seed from his body.

After looking at this withered flower seed, Xu Xia's expression suddenly became ugly.

This is a strange spiritual seed that controls the human heart. Once it is planted into the sea of ​​consciousness, it is equivalent to letting outsiders control one's mind.

Of course, there are many limitations to the powerful effect of Dry Spirit Flower Seed.

First of all, the monk who is planted cannot have any thoughts of resistance and must voluntarily open the sea of ​​consciousness. Otherwise, once resisted by thoughts, the flower seeds will die immediately.

Secondly, every once in a while, this withered spirit flower seed will absorb some of the host's consciousness, and even affect the host's soul memory.

Because of the existence of these negative restrictions, such strange flower seeds are not widely spread, and only a few monks who practice wood can control them.

"How? As long as you obey my arrangements, you can survive!" Elder Bai chuckled: "And I promise you that within ten years, I will definitely take out this flower seed for you, and I will not let it limit your life. I can make a big oath about my inner demon."

The conditions sound pretty good and quite acceptable.

But Xu Xia's face was ashen. Those words he just said were just for survival. As long as he could return to the sect, he would immediately report the matter to the sect and be willing to accept the sect's review.

But he didn't expect that the other party had such rare seeds as the Withered Spirit Flower Seed, which made all his calculations come to nothing.

"Kill me. The sect treats me well. How can I be a traitor to the sect?" Xu Xia said in a low tone.

"Senior Brother Xu," Junior Brother Wang said with a complicated expression.

Elder Bai shook his head with a sneer and said: "It seems that we are still two strong-willed people, so I will have to use some other means to make you agree to this request."

"Take them away, and let them have a taste of my Qingzong interrogation methods."

The other remnants of the Shangqing Sect in black robes all showed ferocious smiles at this moment, looking at Xu Xia and Xu Xia with fierce eyes.

"Hehe, you fell into our hands today. Unless your sect ancestors come over, no one can save you!"

Obviously, what awaits Xu Xia and the two next will not be a good thing.

But at this moment, a sigh suddenly sounded in the forest.

"well!"

This sigh came from all directions, and it was impossible to tell the specific direction!
