Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Two days later.

The color of the mountains in front of the clouds turned green with the cold weather, and the sunlight became extraordinarily clear under the influence of autumn. Three or five large cranes fluttered their wings and flew by. The crisp chirping sound of the cranes fell in the empty valley, and the lingering sound was stirring. An ethereal feeling.

Hou Zhenren wears a lotus crown on his head, a five-willow robe, and a jade bag hanging from his waist. He has thin eyebrows and long eyes, and his cheeks are slightly thin. There are two clouds on the top of the door, and fine and broken streams of color fall down, tinkling. Sound.

Behind him, there is a young man, wearing a silver crown, with a very young face, but his eyes are full of determination, and he is unwavering at first glance.

Further back, there are eight pairs of boys and girls, some holding incense burners, some holding incense fans, some holding jade boxes, some holding scriptures, their eyebrows lowered to please their eyes, and behaved in a good manner.

Judging from the posture, he is waiting for someone, and with this size, the person he is waiting for must be extraordinary and must be of very high status.

After all, this Hou Zhenren not only holds a high position in the Zhenyi Sect, but is also a member of the Hengqu Hou family, a large family. He is powerful and has a very profound background.

Out of the corner of his eye, Master Hou caught sight of his nephew looking at the heights of the Sunset Terrace from time to time. There was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes. He suddenly thought about it, made a judgment, and said with a smile: "After you condense the elixir, you will be able to live in a high place." above."

Hou Zhang nodded and didn't say much, but he still felt depressed when he thought about the true biography that day.

I am only a little bit worse than Li Bixiao and Xiao Xin, but this slight difference makes me have to wait for another term, so that when faced with the opportunity in front of me, I can only watch but cannot participate in it.

Just as Master Hou was about to continue speaking, he suddenly sensed something and saw a flying palace approaching from the sky, with precious beams and jade pillars, red windows and green doors, and countless pearls tied under the eaves, swaying. , every time, colorful lights exploded, and the remaining colors sprinkled down, filling the area.

Fei Gong's escape speed was astonishing, but when he reached the platform, he suddenly stopped and floated on it, motionless. Immediately afterwards, the door of Feigong opened and a group of people walked out.

The leader is a middle-aged Taoist, wearing the robe of the Qingxuan Sect. On the top of the door is a crank-handled jade Ruyi, with stars surrounding it. Behind him, followed a girl with a bun haircut, looking around, and she seemed to have an eccentric temperament.

"Brother Pei Dao." Hou Zhenren of the Hengqu Hou family saw him, stepped forward to say hello, and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

"Brother Hou Dao." Pei Zhenren, who comes from the Qingxuan Sect, saw an acquaintance and showed a gentle smile on his face. He also said: "I have invited you to our Qingxuan Sect many times, but you have never been free, so I will come. "

"Haha." Hou Zhenren laughed and chatted with Zhenren Pei for a few words. He looked at the pretty girl standing behind him but looked like she was jumping up and down just standing there, and said: "Brother Pei Dao, this is Is he your junior? He’s outstanding.”

In his eyes, there is a strange aura in this young girl's spiritual platform, which seems to be born and different.

Master Pei looked at Hou Zhang, who was standing behind his old friend with his hands down, looking calm. He nodded and said, "I am not as good as a junior like you. With such a character, you will do a lot in the future."

"Let's go up there." Hou Zhenren led Pei Zhenren up the mountain and said, "There are many people waiting for us up there."

"Walk."

Pei Zhenren waved his sleeves, stars hung down to the ground, and his posture was calm. He went out and came here to represent the Qingxuan Sect. Every word and action must be appropriate.

Pei Yunxiu was half a step behind, looking left and right, enjoying himself.

From time to time, there is a stream of colorful energy in the distance, wandering erratically. When it reaches the mountain, it turns into a startling rainbow or a treasure color, hanging down to the ground. Disciples appear one by one, mainly in the realm of Qi refining, in small groups. , go up the mountain.

For a moment, precious energy circulated, brilliant clouds shone, and wonderful sounds sounded, making it seem bustling and lively.

The whole mountain is full of people and very interesting.

Pei Yunxiu blinked and asked Hou Zhang in a low voice, who was walking side by side with her, "Senior Brother Hou, there are so many people coming to the Alchemy Meeting."

Hou Zhang glanced at the mature girl who was closer to him, with a curious and energetic face. After thinking about it, he replied: "That's true."

Several top aristocratic families in the sect called together to hold an alchemy meeting. The scale was not small, and the rewards were astonishing, which naturally attracted people. Moreover, the aristocratic family pays special attention to reputation. Once you perform well in such an alchemy meeting, it will be of great help to your own development in the future.

If he hadn't condensed the pill yet, he would have wanted to participate.

"So that's it."

After hearing this, Pei Yunxiu nodded vigorously, with a big amplitude that made her ball head move up and down, which was extremely cute. She continued to move forward, watching as she walked, and continued to ask questions, saying: "Senior Brother Hou, you Look at this alchemy competition, who can win?”

"This," Hou Zhang thought for a while, and the zhenqi on the top door hung down like a pearl, reflecting his face. He thought for a while and said: "In this conference, the people on stage are mainly the new disciples of Hualan. "

"There are a lot of new Hualan disciples, but not many can really stand out."

"One of my clan brothers has reached the fifth level of elixir this time. He is already an outstanding new elixir among our Hengquhou clan."

Pei Yunxiu nodded and agreed. The middle-grade elixir was already qualified to reach the Nascent Soul realm. It was indeed excellent.

In fact, the vast majority of elixir-forming monks are low-grade golden elixirs, and most of them are in the eighth-grade elixir and the ninth-grade elixir.

"However," Pei Yunxiu took a half step forward and said, "There are also hidden talents in the major families of Zhenyi Sect. This time, they are holding a pill meeting with great fanfare. It is certain that there will be more than just middle-grade golden elixirs on stage. Is there anyone who has made a top-grade elixir?"

"There must be someone who has made a top-grade elixir." Hou Zhang did not hide this and said, "Senior Brother Wu Zhong of Xia Yuan Wu has just returned from condensing an elixir. Although I don't know the exact grade of his elixir, it is definitely a top-grade golden elixir."

"Wu Zhong."

Pei Yunxiu's eyes moved. Before she came, she also did some simple homework and knew that this person was a true disciple of Zhenyi Sect with amazing talent. It was reasonable for him to make a top-grade elixir.

However, according to the momentum of this pill meeting, there should not be only one person who made a top-grade elixir.

"Anyone else?"

Hearing Pei Yunxiu's crisp question, Hou Zhang immediately thought of a person. Before he could speak, he heard a clear and mysterious sound in the distance.

The next moment, a stream of brilliant white air came through. When the sun shone, even the sky was filled with a layer of cold color. When it touched the sky, the residual light kept falling, like countless fine needles, and like rain in winter. After falling to the ground, it formed circles of ripples, containing a sharp air that fluttered people's eyebrows.

When the brilliant white air reached the mountain, it suddenly retracted and four people walked out. The leader was extremely young. He was dressed in green clothes, with long sleeves like clouds. Silk ribbons hung down from his temples, decorated with green jade. The faint light fell into his pupils, making him look even more quiet.

Even though the two men and one woman behind the young man were surging with Dansha power and looked extraordinary, when they stood with him, almost everyone's eyes fell on him, and they would not cast a single glance on others.

Pei Yunxiu exchanged glances with the visitor, and seemed to sense the unstoppable sharpness in the other's eyes. The confidence that penetrated everything made her thin eyebrows seem like a small boat in the wind, swaying back and forth.

In an instant, she felt a heavy pressure, and he rushed to her, wrapped her up, and made her almost breathless.

Fortunately, the other's gaze was withdrawn as soon as it touched her, and the pressure and coldness on her body disappeared immediately, as if they had never appeared.

However, Pei Yunxiu looked at the other's gradually receding back, thinking about the sharpness just now, which was as real as substance and irresistible. The smile on her palm-sized face was much less than before, and she asked: "Who is this person? Is he going to participate in this alchemy meeting too?"

She didn't believe it a little, because the alchemy aura on the other person was too amazing, unlike the newly promoted alchemy cultivator. Even those who have been promoted after hundreds of years of hard training may not be as good as him.

Hou Zhang was silent for a long time before he spoke: "The person who came just now was Senior Brother Zhou Qingzhou from Luochuan Zhou Clan. It is said that he is also a top-grade elixir master."

"Zhou Qing."

Pei Yunxiu nodded. She had heard of this name vaguely. Seeing it today, she felt that it was as good as it was said. This elixir meeting would really broaden her horizons.

Zhou Qing walked up along the mountain path. Thinking about what he had just seen, he said: "Is it someone from Qingxuan Sect?"

"Yes."

Zhou Lingling, who was half a step behind, nodded. As her skirt swayed, a bright light shone in front of her knees. She had taken a few more glances just now. It was indeed someone from Qingxuan Sect.

"With outsiders present, we have to perform well."

Zhou Qing looked relaxed. The green jade hanging on the silk ribbon swayed, and a wisp of coldness condensed and did not dissipate. No matter how many intentions the big figures in the sect or the family had, he just had to do his own thing.

Not long after, the four of them arrived at the top of the Sunset Terrace.

A high platform had been built on it, with 108 high pillars, each of which was engraved with fine lines. At this time, the skylight shone on it, and there was a hazy auspicious atmosphere. Faintly, there seemed to be dragons and tigers leaping, cranes flying, and turtles sinking.

At the same time, a beam of aurora hung down from the sky, and when it approached the platform, it turned into a huge canopy, covering the entire platform. The fine and fragmented colorful flowed unsteadily, making a ding-dong sound.

At this moment, a strange aura unfolded, and no one else could approach the platform.

"This is where the power of the elixir will be measured after the alchemy meeting begins."

Zhou Qing stood in the distance, looking at the platform, especially the high pillars inside the platform, and his eyes moved. It is worthy of being an alchemy meeting that even the real people of Dongtian will come. This platform and the copper pillars on the platform are simply built as large magic weapons.

Zhou Xibai and the other two looked at the high platform, thinking that they would have to weigh the pill power on the platform later. Facing the real person on the cloud, as well as the children of the noble families and fellow disciples of the sect from all directions, even if they could be promoted to the Danhua realm and had extraordinary ambitions, they were still in a state of anxiety.

At this time, someone who stayed here from Luochuan Zhou came over and greeted Zhou Qing, saying, "Master Qing, the pill meeting is about to begin. I will take you to your seat."

"Let's go."

Zhou Qing and the other four followed the guide and went up a spiral wooden ladder to a suspended flying building. The building was built with emerald green bamboo. Each pole was fresh green and unstained with other colors. Many places had not removed the new leaves, which were covered with frost beads, rolling around on the edges of the leaves from time to time, which was quite exquisite.

The tables, chairs and benches in the building were all made of bamboo. There were servants and maids standing quietly, ready to move at any time.

Zhou Qing sat down in the middle and happened to see a man sitting on the suspended carriage not far away. The man had a crown on his head, a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and his skin was covered with a layer of silver. At first glance, it looked as if he had been cut by a knife, very sharp.

Sensing Zhou Qing's gaze, the other party also raised his head and looked over. The two of them met their eyes from a distance, and in an instant, it seemed that there was a collision of swords, clanging. When the people around heard it, they felt a chill from their backs and couldn't help shivering.

"Zhou Qing."

"Wu Zhong."

Both of them knew that although there were many people participating in the alchemy meeting this time, their competition was the big show.

The winner of the two of them would really soar to the sky, rise strongly, and become a person of great importance in their power. The loser, although with the qualification of a top-grade elixir, would still be the focus of their training, but he lacked many opportunities and was far behind the winner.

The confrontation between the two at the Sunset Stage had a great impact on them.

Above the extreme sky, at this time, the clear air rose, the startling rainbow fell through the sky, and the treasure ring was hanging below. Colorful colors sprinkled out from it, and the surroundings were filled with a refreshing fragrance.

Guan De Zhenren sat on a rainbow bridge, with a canopy behind him, on which fell the star map of the Zhoutian. Clusters of star colors fell, naturally forming one after another mysterious hexagrams, constantly born and died.

He was looking down, and saw Wu Zhong and Zhou Qing looking at each other. In his eyes, the Dansha Qi on their bodies was rising, and the sharp Qi in their Taoist bodies was surging. They had indeed cultivated the "Spiritual Life and Gold Book", one of the Five Qi and Four Methods, to a very deep level.

At the very least, at the Danhua level, it was absolutely rare for the two to cultivate the "Spiritual Life and Gold Book" to this extent. I'm afraid that even if I taught them hand in hand, they would have cultivated to this level.

Judging from their qualifications alone, any of them would be qualified to be his disciples.

Above the sky, there is a cloud couch parallel to the position of Guande Zhenren, on which sits a nun. She is dressed in plain robes, and the whole person is like in the moon, surrounded by cold light, bright and flawless, without a speck of dust.

This is also a cave immortal, from the Zhongnan Lin family.

Although the Zhongnan Lin family is not like the Luochuan Zhou family, which has produced great talents, it has been steadily gaining strength over the years.

From now on, the Zhongnan Lin family, the Hengqu Hou family, the Zuoqiu Meng family, the Xiayuan Wu family, the Luochuan Zhou family, etc. are all top families in the Zhenyi Sect.

This nun noticed the gaze of Guande Zhenren, smiled, and said: "That is Wu Zhong and Zhou Qing, they are indeed good, I think any one of them can inherit your mantle."
