Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

In the jade chariot, it became quiet, except for the indescribable and inexplicable hanging down, wisps and wisps, surrounding the left and right, a kind of cold air coming from the face, piercing the eyebrows, making people's bones as cold as if they fell into an ice cellar.

I don't know when the word "Zhou Qing" has become heavy. Just mentioning it makes people feel like a huge stone is pressing on their body, and their bones are as cold as a stone.

Not only is the peerless talent of the first-grade elixir, there is also a layer of inexplicable mystery that arose after his incredible rise in the sect.

"Let's go." Song Xiaoluan stroked her hanging hair and spoke, "Let's go back."

"good."

The jade chariot turned slightly in mid-air, and then began to accelerate. The bright light on both sides extended out, like a phoenix spreading its wings, swaying gracefully, as if slowly but actually quickly, and walked outside.

At this moment, suddenly, a flying palace came from the opposite side. Its square and round holes contained the universe. Behind the mottled colors, you can see the rich doors and jade doors, the corridors with precious steps, and three or five strange birds parked under the eaves. On the horizontal bar, his eyes were cold and cold.

The jade chariot came slightly closer, but was hit by the aftermath of Fei Gongxing's approach, and immediately seemed like a small boat in a storm on the sea, swaying. Even on the jade chariot's glass, fine and dense jade flowers appeared. This was the result of the force of the impact hitting it and entangled with the forbidden array arranged on the jade chariot!

"Is this the flying palace that the top ten disciples in the sect ride on?"

Song Xiaoluan pointed with her hand, emitting a stream of smoke, circling left and right, and stopping the jade chariot. She murmured, and her beautiful eyes shone with light as she looked at the strange flying palace passing by.

In the center of Fei Palace, there was a large hall. Dozens of pillars were erected in the hall, forming a circle. Each pillar was engraved with complex and mysterious patterns. At this time, light bloomed at the same time. Large and small halos of light were formed, reflecting on a handsome young man sitting in the center.

His eyes are like shooting stars, his eyebrows are divided into eight colors, and he is wearing a sky-blue robe. He is holding a Taoist scripture in his hands, and a circle of treasure rings on the top of the door are constantly jumping.

As if sensing Song Xiaoluan's gaze, the man in the Fei Palace looked over, and the stars were reflected in his pupils, which was unfathomable.

Even though they were both in the realm of alchemy, Song Xiaoluan and her companions in the jade chariot felt very uncomfortable when they saw this. They only felt the coldness rising on their backs and the sight of ants crawling on their bodies.

The same realm, but very different.

"He is truly one of the top ten disciples."

Song Xiaoluan recognized the person's identity, her face sank, she said nothing, continued to preside over the jade chariot, and left quietly.

Cai Zhongrong was sitting in the Fei Palace. From time to time, in the aura of Dansha above his head, a spiritual light would appear. He didn't know where it came from, and he didn't know where it went. He glanced at the jade chariot leaving, There was a kind of thoughtfulness in his eyes.

However, Feigong did not stop and continued to move forward. After walking for a while, a cave appeared in front of him.

Looking from a distance, the sky here is clear and clear, and the clouds are like washing. Below is the place where the two backs of the mountain peaks meet, with a snake-shaped stream in between. On both sides are endless green pines as far as the eye can see. The fluttering color of the pine trees falls to the bottom. Rustling.

At a glance, it was clear above and overcast below, gold above and green below, a strange confrontation between yin and yang. There was an inexplicable aura in the entire cave.

Just one look at it is impressive.

Cai Zhongrong watched for a while before getting down from the Fei Palace. He waved his sleeves and walked up the jade steps that were enough for seven or eight people to walk side by side until he reached the hanging treasure pavilion on the top of the mountain.

In front of the pavilion, there was a Taoist boy waiting for him. When he saw Cai Zhongrong approaching, he quickly saluted and said, "Shangzhen, our master is waiting in the hall."

Cai Zhongrong nodded, strode in, and found that the auspicious treasures inside were swaying upwards, and there was a myriad of atmospheres. On the high platform, there was a monk sitting upright. He looked very young, but he was very tall. His temples were slightly frosted, and he stood above the door. , a river of heaven determines yin and yang by itself, silently.

Even though Cai Zhongrong is already one of the top ten disciples and the absolute best among the true disciples in the sect, he still feels a clear sense of oppression when facing the monks on the high platform.

Because Cai Jiuyuan on the high platform is not only a great monk of the third level of Yuanying, but also a being who is very likely to reach the realm of cave heaven.

In comparison, Cai Zhongrong only reached the elixir realm, and there was still a big gap.

"Zhongrong is here, sit down."

Cai Jiuyuan asked the visitor to sit down. His voice could not be said to be clear, it was a bit deep, but it naturally had a kind of power.

After Cai Zhongrong sat down, he thought of what he had seen and said straight to the point: "After Zhou Qing became a disciple, Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave was not very quiet."

The jade Ruyi in Cai Jiuyuan's hand moved, a breeze blew slowly, and mysterious sounds lingered around him. His eyes were deep and he said, "Not all people are like you Zhongrong, who know priorities and know right from wrong."

In his opinion, Cai Zhongrong in front of him has the most status and the most reason to be dissatisfied with Zhou Qing's worship in Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave.

On the one hand, if Cai Zhongrong wants to be one of the top ten disciples in the sect, he will definitely need the strong support of Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven. With Zhou Qing's talent and background, he is also one of the top ten disciples in the sect. The relationship between the two There is definitely conflict.

On the other hand, Cai Zhongrong is one of the top ten disciples in the sect, and he has status, prestige and connections in the Cai family. If he really wants to cause trouble, if he rises up and raises his voice, the ripples caused by him will definitely not be comparable to that of others.

But according to what Cai Jiuyuan knew, whether it was the news of recruiting a disciple from the real person Guande, or whether Zhou Qing, a genius who had become a first-class elixir of the Luochuan Zhou family, was officially accepted into his sect, Cai Zhongrong in front of him had always been calm and not making a fuss at all. .

After hearing this, Cai Zhongrong smiled softly and said with unconcealed confidence: "There is always no lack of competition for the position of the top ten disciples in the sect. Even if there is no Zhou Qing, there will be others who cannot escape or hide. I will Let’s wait for them to challenge us.”

"Have ambition."

Cai Jiuyuan praised him, but his heart felt like a bright mirror.

Forging iron requires one's own strength. Those who can securely be among the top ten disciples in the sect have extraordinary abilities. This is the truth, but Cai Zhongrong deliberately ignored the support of the forces behind him.

The stronger the support from the forces behind them, the more they can help the top ten disciples secure their positions in all aspects. With less support from the forces behind them, the competition intensity that the top ten disciples have to deal with personally has increased.

The other party's "bearing the humiliation and bearing the burden" was not for Zhou Qing, whom he had never met before, but for himself, who had the opportunity to reach the realm of cave heaven, and for the smooth inheritance of the entire Cai family.

Just because the other party doesn't say anything like this doesn't mean that he should take it for granted.

Cai Zhongrong sat for a while longer, then said goodbye and left. Cai Jiuyuan personally sent him outside the hall, watched him go to the Fei Palace, and then slowly came back.

Sitting down on the high platform again, Cai Jiuyuan looked in the direction of Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave with deep eyes and remained silent.

Master Guande did not hesitate to make several of his disciples uncomfortable, but he was also willing to accept Zhou Qing as his direct disciple, and allowed him to inherit the Changling Miaozhen Royal Path Cave Heaven; Cai Zhongrong was willing to withstand more competition, and was also very concerned about Master Guande's arrangements. They agreed. Their purpose and wish was to let the Luochuan Zhou family survive for a while so that they could accumulate perfection and advance to the realm of cave heaven.

Only with the support of Dongzhenren can a family like the Cai family continue to pass on and flourish. Otherwise, I am afraid that other aristocratic families will usurp relevant interests and decline day by day.

Such expectations and such burdens, although heavy, are my responsibility. I only need to succeed and not fail.

"On the other hand, Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven may be in chaos for a while."

Cai Jiuyuan was not worried about himself. Instead, he turned his gaze to Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave. In his eyes, a little haze slowly rose.

As he told Cai Zhongrong, not everyone is as sensible, aware of priorities, and willing to obey the overall situation as Cai Zhongrong. The vast majority of people still put themselves first and are more willing to safeguard their own interests.

As for why Guande Zhenren, as the master of Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave, ignored the possible chaos in the cave and seemed to let it develop, Cai Jiuyuan had his own guess.

From the perspective of Guande Zhenren, he accepted Zhou Qing as his direct disciple and gave away part of the interests of Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave. Naturally, the interests of the direct descendants of Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave were harmed. Although he had no choice but to do so, Master Guande still felt guilty for his direct descendants.

In this way, even if some people in his disciples have small thoughts, Master Guande cannot bear to criticize them head-on.

In the final analysis, Zhenren Guande was robbed, his Dharma body was damaged, and his life was short. The impact on himself, his disciples, and the entire Cai family was too great. Chain reactions follow one after another.

Cai Jiuyuan's thoughts turned around. He would benefit from this matter, but it would be inconvenient to take action. He might as well let Zhou Qing handle it by himself.

Yingtian Academy is one of the upper Xuanmen schools.

Jiang Kaifang was walking on the bluestone path. He had big sleeves fluttering and was wearing a long coat with an open book embroidered on it. His face was not too handsome, but it was boxy and gave people a very calm look. feel.

"Senior Brother Jiang."

"Senior Brother Jiang."

…

Whenever the disciples on the road saw this genius who was gradually becoming famous in the academy, they subconsciously stopped and saluted uprightly.

They all know that this Jiang Kai has returned from collecting elixirs from Senior Brother Jiang. His elixirs have become top-grade and he has a bright future in the sect.

Anyone who saluted, Jiang Kaishou would return the salute in a serious manner.

After waiting for a long time, people gradually disappeared and it became quiet. Jiang Kaishou continued to move forward, crossed the Hongqiao, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

In front of it is a square, with a stone tablet erected on it. It is more than ten feet high. One side has a relief picture, and the remaining three sides are engraved with large characters. The characters reflect the skylight, and are dense with purple and green, blooming brightly.

As you get closer, you can hear the sound of reading, which contains a kind of educational meaning.

Jiang Kai took a look and went up the steps. The main hall above faced north and south. The roof of the hall was covered with gray tube tiles and dougongs were placed under the eaves. At the top, half a volume of scriptures was open, and countless words were naturally radiated from it. Colliding with each other, the scent of books filled the air.

Jiang Kaishou went straight in and saw a high platform set up inside. His aunt was sitting on the cloud couch. She had delicate light makeup on her face, like the most perfect lady, with a flawless temperament.

This real person was handling a strange magic weapon, which looked like bamboo slips, no less than a hundred, strung together with a copper-green thread. On each jade slip, there are pairs of dreamlike butterflies, hanging upside down. The wings of the butterflies seem to be constantly trembling, making the surrounding energy become dreamlike, transforming back and forth between reality and virtuality. .

Even in front of Jiang Yue, an extremely outstanding real person, this strange bamboo slip magic weapon was not blocked, but became more dazzling.

Seeing Jiang Kaishou come in, Jiang Yue, a real person, waved her jade hands, bundled up the magic weapon, and tied it up. She clicked lightly and saw it flew to Jiang Kaishou, saying: "You can keep this mysterious weapon." Bar."

When he said this, Master Jiang Yue smiled. His junior had achieved the highest grade of elixir and had been listed as the key training of this generation in the clan. The granting of the mysterious weapon was only the first step, and the cultivation resources would follow.

His junior had already entered the channel of rapid rise, and it was only a matter of time before he could catch up with him in realm cultivation.

It was indeed worth being happy that there was someone to succeed him.

Jiang Kaishou took off the mysterious weapon and could not help showing his joy when he sensed the powerful spirituality in the magic weapon.

Although the mysterious weapon was inferior to the real weapon in terms of the essence and power of the magic weapon, it was different from the strange spirits in the real weapon, which were difficult to subdue. The mysterious weapon was already the magic weapon that most cultivators dreamed of.

If it were not for the highest grade of elixir and the profound cultivation of the mysterious skills, a newly promoted Dan cultivator like him would not have the opportunity to own a mysterious weapon.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Jiang Kaishou put away the mysterious weapon. He calmed his mind and asked, "I heard that there is news from the Zhenyi Sect?"

Since returning from the Dan Condensation, he always couldn't help but think of the Dan Condensation he saw in the Jinsha River. The Dan Condensation of the Zhenyi Sect's true disciple named Zhou Qing was too magnificent and magnificent, and it was better than his own Dan Condensation.

The other party must be a top-grade Dan, and it's not a third-grade Dan. What grade is it?

"This,"

Zhenren Jiang Yue thought of the news he just received and didn't know how to say it.

"There is indeed news."

Jiang Kaishou took a look and knew what was going on. When he thought of his aunt's expression, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Could it be that Zhou Qing, who had Dan Condensation with him in the Jinsha River, was so amazing?

Master Jiang Yue nodded vigorously and said, "News has come from the Zhenyi Sect that Zhou Qing appeared on the stage at the alchemy meeting and showed an unparalleled alchemy power. He should be a first-grade alchemist."

In her tone, there was still the shock she felt when she heard the news, which was lingering and condensed.

She was born in the Shangxuan Sect Yingtian Academy and had seen the Dongtian Master, but it was the first time she saw a first-grade alchemist.

Although the first-grade alchemist had just been promoted to the Danhua realm, there was a big gap in strength between him and the Dongtian Master, and he might not be able to break through to the Dongtian realm in the future. But there were very few first-grade alchemists.

At least, in the Shangxuan Sect like Yingtian Academy, there had not been a first-grade alchemist in the past thousand years.

"First-grade alchemist."

Jiang Kaishou was stunned and felt uneasy for a while.
