Natural fairy species

Black Mountain, Tianlei Cliff.

In the twelfth lunar month, the lush bamboo sea on the mountains is covered with thick snow. From time to time, bamboos are broken under pressure, and the sound of cracking occurs one after another.

The disciples were transferred to Zhongzhou several times in a row, which made the major spiritual veins in Black Mountain less noisy in the past.

The once most bustling General Affairs Hall has become deserted.

"Why is it so cold this year?"

"Didn't you hear what the deacon said? There is a meridian cold wave coming from the ice sheet, which is heading towards the opening of the Black Mountain. Many spiritual fields have been hit by the cold."

Two handyman disciples were beating the snow off the bamboos with long sticks. There was a shortage of manpower, and they were the only two working in the huge sea of ​​bamboo.

In addition to supporting Zhongzhou, the once-in-a-century Ziwu cold wave forced the General Affairs Office to issue mandatory sect tasks one after another to urgently rescue various spiritual plants and spiritual rice.

There are also several towns surrounding Black Mountain, and millions of ordinary people have to send disciples to rescue them.

Facing such a cold wave, mortals would almost be in danger of annihilation.

A large number of bungalows collapsed and were trapped underground. The snow was thick enough for a person, making travel difficult.

If there is no one to help, just a few immortal masters in the middle stage of Qi refining in each town will not be able to solve the dilemma.

Even the deacons from the General Affairs Hall personally went into battle and formed several teams to rescue the people in one town after another.

The true disciples, who were treated aloof and pampered, all came out of seclusion and led their retinue to put out fires everywhere.

In this way, every part of Montenegro is even more stretched, and even the number of Taoist boys serving the high-ranking elders has been reduced.

"Damn weather, even the immortal cultivators feel cold in their bones. I wonder how my hometown is doing... I must go to the Artifact Refining Hall to exchange for a heating instrument later, otherwise I won't be able to survive this winter."

The short, round-faced handyman disciple had a ball of snow fall into his neck. He jumped up suddenly and shook off the snow water, and pasted a piece of fire talisman paper on the wet area.

A burst of water mist rises, and warmth spreads throughout the body.

"Even if you have a family subsidy, you should save some money. There will be an assessment at the beginning of spring. If you can participate with a cultivation level in the middle stage of Qi Refining, you have a good chance of passing it."

The tall and thin handyman disciple showed a trace of envy in his eyes, but he concealed it very well and said seriously.

He comes from a mortal city in Heishan County, and no one in his three generations can be related to an immortal cultivator.

It was only in his generation that spiritual roots were detected during the spirit-guiding ceremony.

He was sent to Montenegro four years ago and became a supreme immortal master in the eyes of his relatives.

But only after entering the sect and gaining a general understanding of the world of immortality, did I realize that the world of immortals was not as beautiful as imagined.

If you have four spiritual root qualifications and no relatives or elders to care about you, if you don't show any special talent, you will most likely return to your hometown after thirty years old with a mid-stage Qi refining level and become an expatriate immortal master of the sect. .

Being lucky enough to come to Qingfeng Sect, I don’t want to live a mediocre life.

But the short and fat handyman disciple is different. He is similar in age and has similar bones, but he is not worried about his future at all. He will even use his precious contribution points to exchange for magical weapons that have no value other than keeping cold away and keeping warm.

Just because he has a good background and a good surname.

The Hanxiufeng Bai clan is from the same clan as Patriarch Bai, and is a branch of the Mozhu Bai clan like the Tianleiya Bai clan.

At first, the Han Xiufeng branch was the main family. Later, the tribesmen who moved to Tianleiya took care of the spirit bamboos for Ancestor Bai, and received constant rewards. After two foundation-building monks came out, they suppressed the main family.

But in recent years, the cultivation of spiritual bamboos has become worse and worse. For a long time, no thunder bamboos have appeared, and the ancestor has never been to Tianlei Cliff.

The Bai clan on Hanxiu Peak produced several outstanding immortal seedlings and restored their reputation.

With the great mountain of Ancestor Bai here, the Bai family will never suffer any loss in Black Mountain.

As long as there are outstanding enough disciples, one can always obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill from the sect at a reasonable price.

This is something that no other aristocratic family would envy.

Bai Bin has mediocre qualifications and can only start as a handyman disciple, but his storage bag contains many spiritual stones issued by the clan.

In addition, there will be no problem in adding an outer disciple in a few years.

Even ordinary members of the Bai clan are not on the same starting line as other handyman disciples.

To become an inner sect disciple may require some real talent and practical knowledge, but to the outer sect disciples, they are nothing to the senior leaders of the sect. Any elder has the power to recommend them.

In order to maintain the spirit of hard work and enterprising among the large number of handyman disciples, dozens of people are selected every year to be promoted to outer disciples, leaving this upward path open.

The Chuan Gong Hall is responsible for this assessment. After seeing Bai Bin's birthplace and place of origin in the file, those deacons will give the green light even if a pig is in front of them.

Of course, Patriarch Bai would not care about such trivial matters. Regarding the descendants of the family, he only had special care for the pair of children left by his uncle Bai Jiuan.

The Bai family of Hanxiufeng later gave away a clan member, who was said to be a grandnephew who was closely related to the ancestor. However, they had not seen each other for decades after joining the clan, and had not received any attention from the ancestor.

But no one would be that evil person and depose the disciples of the Bai family, just in case an extremely talented descendant emerges and the ancestor becomes interested and recruits him.

"I'm not as diligent as you. I definitely won't be able to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining next year. I'll just wait for the year after tomorrow..."

Bai Bin used his stick to stand on the ground and looked towards the top of Tianlei Cliff.

"I wonder how the army is in Zhongzhou. It was already three months ago since the last report from the sect's residence. I really want to go to the front line to see Master Ma's style!"

"If you want to sign up to go to Zhongzhou, you must at least be at the sixth level of Qi refining. Don't even think about it! Ever since Ma Zhenren defeated four people with one against four last year and killed four calamity cultivators in the late stage of pill formation with swords, how can anyone dare to cause trouble? We may not be able to pacify the entire Zhongzhou right now.”

The tall and thin handyman disciples also yearned for it and wished they could be included in the army.

This expedition was a first-class summoning order, and the rewards given were very generous. There were already disciples who had made enough contributions to redeem the foundation-building pills, and successfully became a foundation-building monk. Since then, their status has undergone a qualitative change.

A year ago, Ma Ruoxi was ambushed and besieged by four monks who were in the late stage of forming pills. It was later confirmed that there were Jie cultivators from Northern Qi, demon cultivator leaders from Thirty-six Demon Cave, supreme elders from local sects in Zhongzhou, and Wandu. An elder of the valley.

With such a lineup, it can be said that Ma Ruoxi attaches great importance to her.

Below Nascent Soul, there is no possibility of survival.

Three days later, a bolt of lightning protected Ma Ruoxi, who was covered in blood, as she flew back to the top of Qishan Mountain, leaving behind a dilapidated spiritual lake with the bottom of the lake overturned.

Four monks who were in the late stage of forming pills were eliminated in one battle.

At this point, Ma Ruoxi's reputation was completely established and she became the idol of the young disciples of Qingfeng Sect.

Even if she achieved such a record with the sword given by Patriarch Bai, other pill-forming sword cultivators under similar circumstances did not have as amazing a record as Ma Ruoxi.

According to common sense, the sword given by the ancestor had been used several times in previous battles. Even if two more swords could be used to kill two people, the remaining two pill-forming ones would still be unable to resist Ma Ruoxi's combat power in the later stage.

The final result was like this, which made the world of immortal cultivation feel that another peerless sword cultivator was about to appear.

This kind of invincible and invincible performance at the same level is so similar to her master, Patriarch Bai, that some people have already touted her as the second True Lord Bai.

Affected by this amazing record, the situation in Zhongzhou has greatly improved, and many local sects and immortal cultivating families have taken refuge.

The recent trend in Qingfeng Sect is to discuss which real people will be stationed in Qishan after the Zhongzhou is completely captured, and where there are more development opportunities for the disciples below.

Until last month, Chen Shanyan, the master of the Alchemy Hall, attacked the alchemy for the second time, gathered the alchemy book, and showed the jade pill, and successfully crossed the natural chasm.

Qingfeng Sect’s ninth Dan-Jie Zhenren was officially born!

This happy event outweighed other events and made all the disciples talk about it, especially the monks in the Dan Palace.

"What are you afraid of? Palace Master Chen has become a real person of pill formation, and there is still room for breakthroughs in the way of pills in the future. With his cultivation level, he can refine thousands of first-level pills in one furnace, and the same goes for other pills. Just watch and go. The price and quantity of the elixir exchanged in Houdan Palace will definitely be relaxed a lot."

Bai Bin was not worried about his low cultivation level at all, and instead comforted his companions.

"You don't have to rush to participate in the assessment next year and use the hard-earned contributions to exchange for a small barrier-breaking pill. There is no need. One year earlier and one year later is not that important to the outer disciples, and it is not true or inner disciples. The door selection process is not even close to a month or a day."

As the number of Qingfeng Sect's grassroots disciples has doubled, the competition among the inner disciples has become quite fierce, and the cultivation level in the later stage of Qi refining is just the ticket.

As for the true disciples, because there are only twelve places, they can often only occupy one year, and are rejected by other inner disciples in the second year.

Anyone who can sit firmly in the position of true disciple for five years will be able to successfully build the foundation more than 90% of the time.

According to the development of the sect, the details of the true disciples were fine-tuned. For example, those who failed to become true disciples could obtain a deacon position without taking the exam.

The original true inheritance's biggest benefits were an exclusive third-level spiritual land and free foundation-building spiritual objects, which were no longer attractive to the current Qingfeng Sect.

The sect has continuously developed third-level spiritual veins. As long as they are willing to pay the contribution value, even inner disciples can rent third-level spiritual land.

The number of foundation-building pills obtained is also far higher than that of the past. No true disciple will give up the foundation-building pills and directly choose foundation-building spiritual objects to launch promotion attacks.

Another item has been added for the true disciples, who can borrow the classics of the Chuan Gong Hall in advance, with the same authority as the foundation-building monks.

When exchanging all items in the Alchemy Hall, Talisman Hall, and Weapon Refining Hall, the priority is the same as that of the Foundation Establishment Monk.

Especially when it comes to selecting exercises, you can choose Dafa that directly point to the Nascent Soul, and there will even be Master Jiedan who is willing to teach the true disciples and accept them as disciples.

Just when the two handyman disciples were thinking about the future of the sect and their own prospects, there was a thunder from the top of Tianlei Cliff, a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and rolling winter thunder.

"Resurrection from the ashes, sparks burning the original... If you don't go through this, how can you break and stand again? When you are about to be strong and courageous, make breakthroughs in the elixir theory of saving death and life. I understand the secrets of my thunder method that Master has taught me, and I can overcome hardships and hardships." Fuck, only the intersection of yin and yang can last forever!”

There was a long roar, and balls of divine thunder exploded in the clouds on the top of the mountain, letting the sunlight shine down directly.

The thick snow accumulated on Tianlei Cliff shook wildly, as if an invisible hand was shaking them down.

The two handyman disciples widened their eyes, and the snow on the entire bamboo sea fell to the ground in an instant.

"Tell me what changes have occurred in the sect during these years of seclusion."

The next moment, a domineering figure stood in front of him, arcs of electricity flashing all over his body.

Even though he had only been in the sect for a few years and had never seen the monk in front of him, how could he, as a disciple of Tianleiya's servants, fail to recognize the master Jiedan in front of him.

Before Ma Ruoxi, when he captured Hejian County, he had already become the leader among the foundation-building monks with his personal charm and tyrannical strength.

He has a very high prestige among the new generation of disciples of the sect. If he were not dedicated to the great road, he would not put his mind on general affairs at all. The position of leader after Tong Huan must belong to him.

"Disciple has met Master Li!"

Bai Bin's heart was beating so fast. He had just been assigned to Tianlei Cliff when he heard from the elders of his clan that there lived a master Jiedan here who was also the disciple of his ancestor.

It seems that something went wrong in his practice, and he has been unable to stay in seclusion for decades.

Judging from today's power, he has recovered from his injuries and his cultivation has reached a higher level.

Starting from Li Guizhen's retreat, the major events that happened in Qingfeng Sect were explained one by one.

Master Bai Bin said, and the tall and thin young man added that what can be seen from the perspective of a handyman disciple is limited.

In other words, what they all know must be important matters that cannot be skipped.

Li Guizhen looked excited when he learned that Patriarch Bai had returned to his sect, and the thunder and lightning that had subsided on his body jumped again.

When he heard that the sect's army was setting off to conquer Zhongzhou, his face was expressionless and calm.

After learning that junior sister Ma Ruoxi had picked four late-stage pill-forming monks with swords and became the first person below Yuanying in Liang Kingdom, she felt a strong fighting spirit.

As for Chen Shanyan, the master of the palace, he had a faint smile on his face.

"Okay, let's have someone clean the hall."

Before he finished speaking, the man had disappeared, and several groups of lightning jumped. It was the lightning escape that was the fastest among escape techniques.

"Zhenren Li actually came out of seclusion and talked with us for a long time..."

The tall and thin boy murmured, still a little in disbelief.

"Why do I think Master Li is so dismissive of the news about Palace Master Chen forming an elixir? Am I wrong?"

"Shh, you're going to die for discussing two real people so loudly!"

Bai Bin lowered his voice and pulled his companion deep into the bamboo forest.

"I heard from the elders that Master Li is the most arrogant. It seems that pill formation can be divided into perfect pill formation and ordinary pill formation. He doesn't even look down on the latter. It took Palace Master Chen two times to successfully form the pill. It is estimated that in Mr. Li didn’t take it seriously at all.”

"Don't mind Master Li's business. Look at the reward that Master Li left behind before he left. It seems to be a bottle of elixir!"

A fat jade vase with gold threads and branches was held in Bai Bin's hand. He poured it down and two milky white elixirs appeared in his hand, exuding the slight sweetness of osmanthus.

"It seems to be a spirit-increasing pill, which is used by foundation-building monks to improve their cultivation. If we take it, our meridians will burst and we will die suddenly... If we change it to a pill suitable for Qi refining disciples, we can probably get forty or fifty pills. No way, we two brothers will both become outer disciples next year!"

…

The lightning flashed and did not stop until it was thousands of miles away.

Thunder Escape is famous for its speed, but it also consumes a huge amount of real energy. It can only be used for short-distance sprinting to escape, and almost no one uses it for long-distance travel.

But looking at it like this, he didn't show any signs of fatigue, but the lightning became more condensed.
