Seeking Immortality

On Huandao, the sun was shining brightly after the rain, and the sunlight reflected on the wet ground made the world brighter. The monotonous sound of waves seemed to indicate that Huandao would be extremely peaceful in the next day.

Perhaps because the good weather on the second day gave Xu Qingfan and others some good luck, after a night, the seven-color deer no longer had the panic they had after hearing the roar yesterday, and their actions returned to normal, eating grass and walking on the plains of Huandao.

In the short half hour since they set out, Xu Qingfan, Jin Qinghan and other four people have captured the eighth seven-color deer, and now they have found the ninth one, and they are not far from completing the task.

In this way, it seems that the first round of tasks of the newcomer competition, the people of Jiuhuamen are destined to complete before noon.

The sea breeze swayed everyone's heads and hems.

At this time, Xu Qingfan and the other five people were standing in the air, quietly looking at the seven-color deer under their feet with eyes full of vigilance.

The seven-colored deer in front of them was much stronger than the eight that Xu Qingfan and others had seen before, and its performance was much stronger than the previous seven-colored deer. When facing the pressure from the five people from Jiuhuamen, although it kept retreating, it still kept threatening and hissing.

Finally, as if it could no longer bear the power of Xu Qingfan and others, the seven-colored deer suddenly let out a roar that resounded through the sky, and at the same time, a strong seven-colored light appeared on its antlers, shooting out a seven-colored spiritual light that was three feet thick, as if it was a seven-colored long rainbow shooting towards Xu Qingfan and others.

But facing the attacking seven-colored spiritual light, Xu Qingfan and others did not show any change in their expressions. Only Wang Qingjun on the far left pinched his fingers with both hands, and a huge water vortex suddenly appeared in front of the five people from Jiuhuamen, blocking the seven-colored spiritual light shot by the seven-colored deer, and did not let the seven-colored spiritual light pose any threat to everyone.

Not only that, every time Wang Qingjun's water vortex rotated a circle, the seven-color spiritual light would weaken a little. Under the constant rotation of the water vortex, it didn't take long for the originally magnificent seven-color long rainbow to be completely consumed.

Seeing Wang Qingjun's beautiful water-based Taoist method, Xu Qingfan, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang couldn't help but show admiration in their eyes.

Among the immortals below the Jindan stage, there may be a few who can perform water-based Taoist methods as smoothly and naturally as Wang Qingjun. But you have to know that the "Water Spinning Technique" was originally only an intermediate high-level Taoist method, and it was also an auxiliary Taoist method used to trap the enemy. But in Wang Qingjun's hands, it became a powerful defensive method, and its defensive power was no less than that of the Water Spirit Body Protection.

You should know that the "Water Spirit Body Protection" is a high-level defensive method in the water system. How could Wang Qingjun's performance not be appreciated by Xu Qingfan and others?

But at the same time, Feng Qingtian's eyes flashed with strange light, obviously remembering that Wang Qingjun used this trick to block one of his three major secret skills, the "Flame Phoenix", in the Jiuhua Sect's internal competition ten years ago.

Although the "Flame Phoenix" eventually broke through the defense of the "Water Spinning Technique" at that time, Feng Qingtian still puzzled about the reason why the "Flame Phoenix" inexplicably lost control at the last moment. This is also the reason why Feng Qingtian has been secretly paying attention to him since he teamed up with Wang Qingjun. Because Feng Qingtian always felt that under Wang Qingjun's ordinary appearance, there seemed to be something hidden that he didn't know.

But strangely, after blocking the attack of the seven-color deer. Xu Qingfan and the other five people still did not make a move to capture it, but still stood quietly in the air, as if waiting for something.

That's it. Xu Qingfan and the other five people were quietly suspended in the air, while the seven-colored deer looked at the five people in the air with vigilance, and kept retreating slowly, the situation seemed a little quiet and strange.

When the seven-colored deer was about to leave the attack range of Xu Qingfan and others, Feng Qingtian finally couldn't bear it anymore. He said to Xu Qingfan: "Senior Brother Xu. Aren't we going to make a move? This seven-colored deer is about to escape."

It was Xu Qingfan's request not to capture it immediately.

After refining the sycamore branch into his own "spiritual control object" and absorbing part of the power of the sycamore branch, Xu Qingfan's spiritual perception was much stronger than before. It felt as if he had some kind of mysterious connection with the plants between heaven and earth. As long as there were plants, Xu Qingfan could vaguely feel the surrounding situation through these plants.

But when he encountered this seven-colored deer just now, Xu Qingfan was about to capture it, but suddenly felt that there seemed to be three masters hiding around him, all of whom had at least the cultivation of the Spiritual Silence Period. But when Xu Qingfan used the Piaoxu Flower to explore again, he found nothing.

But for the sake of safety, Xu Qingfan still asked the other four people not to rush to act, so as to prevent others from taking advantage of the opportunity when they took action to capture it.

You know, in previous newcomer competitions, there would be situations where disciples from various sects fought against each other to rob each other's achievements. Xu Qingfan felt that he might have encountered this situation this time.

After yesterday's cooperation and actions, Feng Qingtian and others had recognized the strength of Xu Qingfan and others, so after Xu Qingfan used the "sound transmission technique" to tell the other four about his discovery and decision, he did not encounter any opposition.

But at this time, seeing that the seven-colored deer in front of him was about to escape, Feng Qingtian finally couldn't help asking out loud.

Hearing Feng Qingtian's words, Xu Qingfan also frowned slightly. The three masters whom he had noticed just now, Xu Qingfan could no longer sense their aura.

Could it be that after seeing Wang Qingjun's Taoist method, they knew they were no match for him and had already fled? Or was it that I was wrong just now? After all, I have not yet completely mastered the method of using heaven and earth plants to explore the surrounding environment.

But for the sake of safety, after hearing Feng Qingtian's doubts, Xu Qingfan just smiled faintly and said: "Didn't Senior Brother Feng say yesterday that he could easily deal with these seven-colored deer alone? This time, please ask Senior Brother Feng to do it yourself. I and the others will be on guard."

Feng Qingtian snorted coldly, somewhat disapproving of Xu Qingfan's cautiousness. His Feng family also has a unique detection method, but Feng Qingtian did not find anyone hiding around, but in the end Feng Qingtian still did not say much, but his body suddenly turned into a thunderbolt fire, flying towards the seven-colored deer.

"Body into Thunder and Fire" is the second move of the Feng family's three secret skills, and its power is far greater than the first move "Flame Phoenix". After practicing, the body of the Feng family can be transformed into a thunderbolt fire, not only with extremely fast flying visibility, but also amazing attack power. But the most important thing is. Because their bodies have turned into thunder and fire, ordinary magic tools and Taoist magic cannot hurt them at all.

This is exactly the situation now. Feng Qingtian turned into a thunder and fire, and instantly flew to the side of the seven-color deer, and then kept spinning around it. Although the seven-color deer tried its best to avoid it, the speed of the thunder and fire was extremely fast, and it was still touched by the thunder and fire from time to time.

Whenever a part of the seven-color deer's body was touched by the thunder and fire, it would burn continuously, making it howl in pain. Although the seven-color deer was extremely powerful and had a strong impact, it did not dare to touch the thunder and fire transformed by Feng Qingtian. Only the seven-color spiritual light occasionally emitted from its antlers could pose some threat to the seven-color deer.

As time went on, the flames on the seven-color deer became more and more. In the end, it turned into a fireball. It began to fall to the ground and kept rolling and howling in pain.

Seeing Feng Qingtian display the power of "body turning into thunder and fire", Xu Qingfan and others were all shocked. Jin Qinghan unconsciously clenched his fists, his knuckles were slightly white, obviously he didn't expect Feng Qingtian's move to be so powerful.

After a long time. Lu Qingshang suddenly murmured: "Feng Qingtian, what is this guy, why did he use this move? He has burned the seven-color deer out of its deer shape. What if when I return to Zhantai to hand in the task, people insist that this is not a seven-color deer but a roasted whole lamb?"

Hearing Lu Qingshang's words, Xu Qingfan was about to laugh, but suddenly his face changed, and he shouted at Feng Qingtian: "Brother Feng. Something has happened!! Come back quickly!!"

At the same time as Xu Qingfan shouted. The other three people's faces also changed drastically, and they all looked up at the sky.

I saw that the sky of Huandao was originally clear and transparent. In just a few breaths, it was suddenly covered with dark clouds. When the dark clouds completely covered the sky above Xu Qingfan and others, the extremely pure water spirit began to permeate the entire space, and then without any warning, a blue and heavy rain began to fall from the sky.

But the five people from Jiuhuamen all knew that these blue raindrops were not ordinary raindrops, but the purest water spirit condensed, with great lethality.

Seeing that the heavy rain was about to fall on them, Lu Qingshang reacted very quickly, and threw out several talismans without hesitation, forming a defensive barrier to block the blue rain from falling from the sky.

Seeing the defensive barrier shaking constantly under the impact of the blue raindrops, everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, the power of these blue raindrops was so great that Lu Qingshang's defensive barrier obviously could not last long under the dense attack of these raindrops.

Compared with Xu Qingfan and others, Feng Qingtian looked much more embarrassed. The fire-based Taoism he practiced was originally controlled by water spirit. At this time, his body turned into thunder and fire, and he suffered more damage under the heavy rain transformed by water spirit. Every drop of blue rain that touched him would turn into Kuishui spirit that was extremely harmful to him, running around in his body, and the fire of thunder and fire would also shake constantly.

Although the speed of the thunder and fire was extremely fast, Feng Qingtian flashed back to Lu Qingshang's barrier immediately after he found something wrong, but his face still looked a little pale after he turned back to his original body, obviously he had suffered some internal injuries.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qingfan sighed slightly in his heart. He didn't expect that he was still calculated after being careful.

After supporting Feng Qingtian's back with his hand and inputting a stream of Mu Yi spiritual energy to help him dissolve the water spiritual energy in his body, Xu Qingfan raised his voice to the magnificent rain scene in front of him and asked: "Excuse me, which sect are you from, fellow Taoist, please come out and see me. Aren't you afraid of losing the face of your sect by attacking like this?"

Xu Qingfan's tone was very cold at this time, and the meaning inside was even more harsh. Because he knew that this was not the time to be polite. He also understood that since he was the leader of the Jiuhua Mountain lineage in this newcomer competition, he represented the face of Jiuhuamen, and he must not show weakness after being attacked.

And as Xu Qingfan's voice fell, a slight laugh sounded.

In the rain, two blurry figures slowly appeared along with the laughter just now. Seeing these two figures, Xu Qingfan's face sank slightly, because these two people were not among the three ambushers he felt just now. But he didn't expect that these two people could easily avoid repeated detection by himself and others.

Because the heavy rain was transformed by water spirit, Xu Qingfan and others could not see the faces of these two people through the rain curtain at a distance.

It's just that these two people seemed to have no intention of hiding their traces, and walked towards Xu Qingfan and others from a distance in the heavy rain. Although the heavy rain transformed by this water aura had an astonishing attack power, the two of them seemed to be strolling in their own courtyard in the rain without being affected at all.

When the two came to a place three feet away from Xu Qingfan and others, they stopped. They each used their magic weapons to fly to a height parallel to Xu Qingfan and others, and looked at Xu Qingfan and others with calm expressions.

At this moment, Xu Qingfan and others finally saw clearly the appearance of these two people.

The man leaning slightly forward had an arrogant face and was wearing a Bagua Taoist robe, but he did not tie up his bun like an ordinary Taoist priest. Instead, it was spread casually and uninhibitedly, but it had a sense of freedom and casualness.

The person slightly behind is a handsome young man with a calm face, wearing a white Taoist robe. What is striking is that this person's eyes have been closed tightly, as if he cannot see anything.

"Is it you?" Xu Qingfan said slowly and solemnly after seeing their faces clearly.

The person he was doing was none other than Deng Tianbu from the imperial family, but the person behind him, Xu Qingfan and others, did not know him. I just felt that the dangerous aura on this man was not much less than that of Deng Tian.

"It's me." Deng Tianya said calmly.

"I just felt that there were three people hiding around. They should be your other junior brothers? Where are they? Are they hiding and preparing for another sneak attack?" Xu Qingfan asked coldly.

"Sneak attack? I didn't have a sneak attack. I was just saying hello to you just now. Those three losers. You were almost discovered by you just now, and you asked me to help. But now, fortunately, the Kuiyu Barrier is still in place. Success. They are maintaining the barrier now, so don't worry."

The smile on Deng Tian's face was more friendly than ever before, but what he said made Xu Qingfan and others slightly shocked. "Sunflower Rain Barrier" is one of the most advanced formations of the * sect. It is said that other monks will be greatly reduced in strength after entering this barrier, but the monks of the * sect can use the formation with the cooperation of special skills. force. The strength is greatly increased.

As if to appreciate the surprised expressions of Xu Qingfan and others. Deng Tianbu paused slightly when he said this, and then said: "Let me introduce it to you. The person behind me is my junior brother Qiu Xuan. He is the number one genius in our school, although he started later than me. Fifty years, but now my skills are no longer inferior to mine."

"Senior Brother Deng, you are not here specifically to greet me and introduce your junior brother, are you?" Although Xu Qingfan was surprised, he did not show it and still said coldly.

"Of course not. I am here to borrow the Seven-Colored Deer from you guys from the Jiuhua Sect. I will return it to you in a few days." After saying this, Deng Tiancai chuckled and continued: " But I know that all the junior brothers will never agree, so I have no choice but to take it myself after defeating you."

Seeing that Xu Qingfan and others didn't show any fear in their eyes, Deng Tianlao seemed a little disappointed, but he still continued quietly: "I always like to think about others, so that you can know who I have been defeated by, so that you won't have any regrets." , I naturally want to introduce my junior brother and I to you."

"Just the two of you?" Feng Qingtian had already expelled the water spirit energy that had invaded his body. He retorted coldly after hearing Deng Tian's words.

"I admit that you are very strong, but in the Kuiyu Barrier, only the two of us, brothers and sisters, are enough to deal with you." Deng Tian didn't get angry and just said calmly.

As Deng Tian's words fell, the defensive barrier set up by Lu Qingshang finally could no longer block the dense blue rain that continued to drip from the sky, and shattered with a harsh tearing sound. Lu Qingshang's several talismans also consumed all their spiritual energy, but were smashed into pieces by Lan Yu before they fell to the ground.

Lu Qingshang had already used sound transmission to remind the other four people before, so after noticing that the barrier was broken, the five people in Jiuhua Mountain used their own defensive methods to block the Blue Rain's invasion.

Among them, Lu Qingshang still built a defensive barrier to surround himself, Jin Qinghan turned into a pair of golden armor and attached it to himself, and Wang Qingjun turned into a water curtain to block his head.

But Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian, none of the Taoist techniques they learned could effectively resist the invasion of the dense blue rain. In desperation, Xu Qingfan had to use his new magic weapon "Qingling Arm Shield" as a protection. Under the injection of spiritual energy, a lifelike green dragon suddenly appeared around Xu Qingfan, and kept spinning around Xu Qingfan. The green dragon's swirl seemed slow, but it blocked all the blue rain falling from the sky.

But Feng Qingtian had no defensive weapon, so he could only release the spiritual energy in his body and turn it into a flame shield to block himself. It's just that in this way, the consumption of spiritual energy in his body will be more than ten times that of the normal state.

Seeing the performance of Xu Qingfan and others, Deng Tian nodded slightly, but suddenly asked Feng Qingtian: "Are you from the Feng family of Jiuhua clan?"

"Exactly." Feng Qingtian responded coldly. "I have heard about the name of the Feng family for a long time, but when I saw it just now, it is indeed extraordinary." Deng Tian smiled slightly at Feng Qingtian, then pointed to Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian and said to Qiu Xuan: "The leader of them has friends with the heirs of the Feng family. Give it to me, you can take care of the other three."

Listening to his tone, it seemed that he had already decided in his heart that he would win.

Qiu Xuan, who had been silent until now, answered with a smile.
