Journey To Longevity

Time flies, suddenly three months have passed.

On that day, on the square in the White Ape Palace, a giant cocoon formed by the interweaving of black and red auras was constantly surging.

Suddenly there was a cracking sound, and more than a dozen small cracks appeared on the surface of the giant cocoon, and a dripping black dragon broke free from it, then pulled out its forelimbs, and crawled out of the cocoon with its whole body. Bow your head in front of Zhang Shiping.

"Master, can you master it?" Jiang Ru said slowly.

"That's right, but it's a pity that the corpse of the dragon with the demon baby couldn't be taken down, so Bai Shiyu has to go. If you meet this person in the future, you should be careful. The Bai family has been coveting the secret place of Mingxin Bieyuan. "Zhang Shiping said calmly.

"In this case, why not use this place to kill them..." Jiang Si said here, slashing his neck with a knife in his hand, his tone serious.

"Don't worry, Bai Yuheng has always been cautious, and it's not easy to fall into the trap. Besides, it's not the time yet. With my cultivation, even if I get rid of the two Nascent Souls of the Bai family, I won't get much benefit from it. Besides, if it doesn't work, it will cause a lot of trouble." Zhang Shiping stretched out his hand to pat the dragon's head, and put it into the imperial beast bag.

When Jiang Xi saw it, his expression turned a little bad, and he said in a low voice: "Master, that's my beast-guarding bag. If there is one more, it will be too crowded inside."

"Why, do you still want to stay in the imperial animal bag?" Zhang Shiping said flatly, then got up and glanced at it.

"Of course I don't want to. Who wants to stay in such a cramped place? Once they enter, they will feel dizzy and bored." Jiang Ru shook his head hastily.

"Follow me." Zhang Shiping turned around and walked towards a side hall in the palace, came to the meditation room, and took down the belt-shaped Sumi magic weapon left by Venerable Jin Guang from a hanger.

Then he reached out and wiped the jade belt around his waist, and took out more than ten storage bags from it, and hundreds of brocade boxes and jade bottles, large and small, filled the entire quiet room.

With the movement of the divine mind, a large piece of golden light shot out from the Sumeru belt in his hand, wrapping up these items and putting them away.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shiping untied his belt, but Jiang Ruo suddenly took a step back and looked at him with a wary face.

"What kind of eyes do you have, you can't find it?" Zhang Shiping said angrily, and he threw his mustard seed magic weapon belt over.

Then he went on to say: "It seems that you don't have a suitable storage magic weapon. I will give you the replacement one. If you don't like the style, you can change it yourself."

As he spoke, Zhang Shiping stretched out his hand to wipe the belt, and its bright yellow leather instantly turned light blue, which was similar in color to the cloak.

"If you have such thoughts again in the future, I will suppress and seal you in the depths of Bihu Island's spiritual veins." Zhang Shiping said while tidying up his clothes. How could he not know what Jiang Ru was thinking about.

"Don't you think that the owner's orientation is somewhat different, regardless of gender and race, if I go out and look for it like this, I will definitely find a suitable one." Jiang Xi took the belt and joked.

"Go out." When Zhang Shiping heard this, his face immediately became serious.

Jiang Ru disappeared in the same place in a flash, but there was a chuckle from the quiet room: "Master, you really mean it, just say it, the female cultivators in this world are probably lined up all the way from the gate of Yuanxiao City to this white place." Ape Palace."

At this time, Zhang Tianming, who was walking in from outside the palace, was a little confused when he heard it, as if he had come at the wrong time.

He was wondering whether to go in, or to leave first and come back after a few hours?

"Come in, what are you doing outside?" Zhang Shiping said via voice transmission.

Jiang Ru passed by Zhang Tianming, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Boy, you heard it too, hurry up and make arrangements for your ancestors, so as to spread the branches and grow the Zhang family."

"Senior Jiang, are you trying to kill me? How can we juniors take care of the ancestor's affairs?" Zhang Tianming gave a wry smile.

"Look at Du Yu. Although he doesn't have a wife, there are two or three concubines in the palace, Meiji. Then look at Tianfeng. I heard that this guy's child is almost full moon, and he is said to have dual spiritual roots. You If the patriarch of the family doesn't work hard, he will not be able to get back the favors that are sent to us, what a loss." Jiang Ru said in a deep voice.

A red light suddenly manifested, and with a clang, it turned into a sharp sword, which was about to strike Jiang Ru's neck.

I saw Jiang Sidun turning into a gust of yellow wind and galloping away towards the distance.

"I'll settle the score with you next time." Zhang Shiping appeared in front of Zhang Tianming, grasped the hilt of the sword, pulled a sword flower, and put the Qingshuang sword into his body.

Then he said softly, "Follow me."

Zhang Tianming followed slowly and followed suit.

After walking tens of feet, he said cautiously, "Old Ancestor, I think what Senior Jiang said is also true. Shouldn't it be time for you, old man, to find one, or take some concubines as well."

"Just take care of yourself and practice. If you can't break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, then you will die, and the old man will still be alive and well." Zhang Shiping said without turning his head.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Tianming didn't dare to say another word.

He once heard Zhang Bixing say that in the past, before the birth of a baby, the ancestors often retreated for 20 to 30 years, and the longest even lasted as long as a Jiazi year. Even though the ancestors practiced at an extremely fast speed, they had to practice hard for three hundred years before conceiving a baby. For such a long period of time, there are no one knows how many generations have been changed in the world.

So how can this Nascent Soul realm be achieved so easily? Qualification, opportunity and character are indispensable.

Leaving aside personal aptitude, the vast majority of Golden Core cultivators are unable to do just these hundreds of years of meditation practice.

Even if they are blessed with opportunities and have no shortage of things for practice, they will only retreat for seven or eight years at most, and then go out to relax for a few months to relieve the boredom accumulated in their hearts during practice.

This kind of thing is extremely normal.

Therefore, many Jindan monks usually keep some beautiful maidservants in captivity.

It's just that most of the foundation-building female cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals, unless they have no backing, would not choose to entertain people with sex. What's more, it is difficult for a Golden Core cultivator to provide the spiritual objects needed for a foundation-establishing nun to form a core.

Therefore, most of the beautiful maidservants received by these Jindan real people are only Qi-refining cultivation bases, and their lifespan is limited. Often, their appearance is no longer young before they get along with each other a few times, and then they are eliminated by the latecomers. Batch after batch.

As for the so-called dual cultivation theory, it is between monks of the same level, otherwise it is actually more about collecting yin to supplement yang, or collecting yang to supplement yin.

The way of heaven is fair, if one party benefits, another party must suffer. Almost no real person is willing to give the golden core and pure mana that he has worked so hard to cultivate as a partner for foundation building or qi refining.

There may be such a situation, but often neither side can go too far. In Xiaohuanjie, the couple Zhiyi and Hongyi from Hongyuelou are the best example. The relationship is too deep and the bond is too heavy, and the ending can be imagined.

The reason why there are so many cultivating families in the world of cultivating immortals is mostly because the cultivators themselves have no hope of cultivating, so they want to settle down and focus on other trivial matters.

Of course, both parties are exceptionally talented people.

It's just that many golden core monks will slowly lose their mind to practice because of this, and finally wake up suddenly, but the time left for repentance is not enough for themselves to break through the Nascent Soul.

...

...

The two walked into the hall one after the other.

Zhang Shiping sat at the main seat, Zhang Tianming sat at the bottom, and they sat in turn.

"What happened during the time I was away that made you come to the door so impatiently?" Zhang Shiping said calmly. When he was refining the dragon puppet, he had already sensed with his spiritual sense that in the past three months, the youngest Jindan junior in the clan had come several times one after another.

"Old Ancestor, since you went to the Western Desert Barbarian Territory, there have been many strange noises in the Valley of Resentment in Zhang Guoheng Prefecture. The disciples on duty there said that it seemed to be the muffled cry of some kind of toad monster. At first, half a year ago, there was only one sound, and there was no more movement. They thought they heard it wrong. But in the past three months, the frequency of the toad sound has become more and more frequent, every seven or eight days or so , there will be one time, besides, the temperature around the valley suddenly rises a lot, the vegetation is all withered, and the place has become a barren mountain now. But the ancestors have said beforehand that it is dangerous, so they dare not enter the battle and sneak into the valley to investigate. Three A few days ago, Senior Brother Zheng and Gaozu had already passed by, but there is no news yet." Zhang Tianming said. The Gao Zu in his mouth refers to Zhang Tianwu.

When Zhang Shiping heard it, he immediately put down the teacup he had just picked up, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure it's the sound of toads?"

At that time, in the depths of the magma in the Resentful Huosha Valley, he remembered that it was a fire scorpion. The sound of this fire-type fish and monster was completely different from the sound of a toad.

"Yes, all the disciples heard it." Zhang Tianming replied.

Zhang Shiping tapped the armrest with his index finger, meditated, and then said slowly: "In the small world, the thousand-eyed toad is the most toad-like monster, but since the demon king came down more than a hundred years ago, the thousand-eyed monster has not known The trace should be that he ascended to the spirit world together with the Demon Lord. Since then, there has been no news about the Qianmu Toad clan, and all the demon kings in the clan have gone into hiding."

Zhang Tianming, who is a Golden Core cultivator, is already qualified to know these things, so he didn't avoid them, but simply said them out.

"Does the ancestor think that there is a demon king among the thousand-eyed toad who knows about the Resentful Fire Valley?" Zhang Tianming asked.

"There's a possibility, but it's more likely that there are wild toads with the fire attribute in the valley. Otherwise, with the methods of those toad monsters, it is absolutely impossible to make abnormal noises and reveal clues." Zhang Shiping shook his head and said.

Having said that, with a wave of his hand, a messenger jade in his sleeve was reduced to a red light and disappeared into the distance.

"Man toad?" Zhang Tianming couldn't help feeling chills down his back, feeling extremely apprehensive.

"Could it be that the Mangu aura has already leaked here, and once the Mantoad breaks through the barrier of the formation and the Mangu aura leaks, the surrounding area will be devastated."

"This old man will deal with it on his own. Don't say anything to the outside world. Apart from this, is there anything else?" Zhang Shiping said calmly.

This Valley of Resentment Fire is different from other places where the ancient aura is leaked. Under the secret arrangement of Misty Valley, the spiritual veins of this place are connected with the barbarian domain. Forbidden.

Even he can only lay down formations to suppress it temporarily

And at that time there was already a wild gnat at the bottom of the valley, and now it is even more suspected that there is an extra wild toad.

The savage beasts are insane and very ferocious, and it is impossible for them to coexist peacefully with each other. If this savage toad is indeed under the lava in the valley, then it has probably devoured the fire savage squid.

It can also be inferred from this that Man Chan's strength is much stronger, probably not just in the early stage of Yuanying.

But what Zhang Shiping didn't say was that this monster might also be the companion guardian spirit beast of the false spirit fire, and this was the more troublesome guy.

"Besides, in the past few months, when I had banquets with several Jindan monks from Shuiyueyuan and Mingxinzong, they seemed to be a little concerned about the affairs of the ancestors. I think this is a bit It's not normal, I'm here to report." Zhang Tianming said in a deep voice.

"They really have a heart. I know about this." Zhang Shiping chuckled lightly.

It seems that the two Nascent Souls of the Bai family, and the four guys Bi Yunquan and Xu Yuanhui are still not giving up. They really think that Mingxin Bieyuan is a good place with ancient inheritance?

It's just that this dangerous place, he thinks it's time to use it.

"If there is nothing else, you can go down first." Zhang Shiping said with a wave.

"I'll leave tomorrow."

"Go, pay attention to those golden cores of Shuiyueyuan and Mingxinzong, your time to form a core is too short, you can't beat them."

Before Zhang Tianming left, Zhang Shiping gave another instruction.

...

...

Half an hour later, Tianfeng arrived at the invitation.

As soon as he came in, he hurriedly asked: "Shiheng, is there really any change in the Valley of Resentment?"

"Why, haven't you received a summons from the spies?" Zhang Shiping said unhurriedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianfeng's face darkened a little, with a murderous look in his eyes, and he said coldly:

"It seems that some guys stretched their hands too far, and dared to confuse me. These dark hall disciples have to clean them up, and see which old guy is messing with them."

"There is me in you, and you in me. Isn't this a normal thing? One of the few disciples in my clan who guards outside the valley has a divine sense of the lower Tao. Luo Shan and the others can't do it." I enslaved these Foundation Establishment cultivators unknowingly. However, the disciples of the Dark Hall should investigate again to find out some little guys who were instigated by other sects or who were enslaved." Zhang Shiping got up and walked to Tianfeng's side, and said in a deep voice.

"I just cleaned up a batch two years ago, and I don't want to come again."

"Which side's chess pieces have been placed the most over the years?"

"The Misty Sect is the most, followed by the Red Moon Tower. Besides, there are quite a few in the White Horse Temple, and there are more or less others."

"It's quite complete, so how many spies we sent out have been cleaned up?"

"Every once in a while, there will always be some loss of manpower. But fortunately, within an acceptable range."

The placement of spies by various forces is something that has been repeatedly prohibited. Zhang Shiping and Tianfeng were not too entangled in the above. After all, it is not a Nascent Soul cultivator who can separate the soul and put it on the disciple who goes out.

However, because the Resentful Flame Valley is related to his own opportunity to advance, Zhang Shiping did not hesitate to separate this soul to ensure that there will be no problems in this regard.
