Seeking Immortality

"Mountains of Chu are exposed to moon fire, and severe droughts occur. The old custom is to burn dragons, which cause panic and thunderstorms."

The ghosts burst into tears, and the frozen mist collapsed. Luo falls and boils hundreds of times, and their roots are eternal.

The green forest is ashes, and the clouds are nowhere to be found. It's very impressive at night, and the new autumn shines on the cow girl.

The wind blew huge flames, and the rivers billowed with columns of smoke. The power and customs burn Kunlun, and the light disappears in Zhuzhou.

The smell is so fishy that it burns long snakes and roars to entangle tigers. The divine object has flown high, and no stone or earth can be seen.

If you want to slander, you will be insulted by this. The officials in Boguan are worried and even ignorant to the master.

Whoever extinguishes the distant migration will be afraid of being blocked. Lying in the river pavilion while sweating, my breath becomes deeper and deeper. "——

"Yun Youzi's Impressions of Learning Fire"

Just when Bai Qingfu finally made up his mind to take action against Jin Qinghan and the other four, two groups of blazing flames suddenly rose up, reaching more than ten feet into the sky. Even the Jiuhua elders and high-level demons who were watching the battle in the sky were shocked. I could clearly feel a strong wave of heat coming towards my face. The ordinary Jiuhua disciples and low-level demons in front of Hualing Hall were even more repelled by this heat wave.

Under the high temperature caused by these two blazing flames, everyone felt like they were in a desert under the scorching sun. Even the originally clear scenery in front of them was faintly distorted by the high temperature.

In the flames, there was a faint sound of phoenix chirping that could pierce the depths of one's soul. As time went by, the originally faint and inaudible sound of the phoenix became clearer and clearer, and the two flames rising into the sky gradually transformed into two flaming phoenixes spreading their wings and ready to fly. at the same time. Two extremely powerful pressures also began to spread from the two flames. The group of Jiuhua disciples and low-level demons who had just been retreated by the heat wave took several steps back under the pressure of these two forces.

Although Jin Qinghan and other four Jiuhua elite disciples and Bai Qingfu and other three snake guards were not evaded by the heat wave and power emanating from the two flames, they could not help but change their faces due to this strange change. When it was clear that those surrounded by flames were Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian. Even more surprised. He couldn't help but focus on the changes in the two flames in front of him, constantly guessing the causes and consequences of this change in his mind, and even forgot about the confrontation between the two sides for a while.

But not long after, the heat wave that soared into the sky slowly subsided. From a distance, it seemed as if these two groups of flames were absorbed into the bodies of Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian. As the flames subsided, the temperature in front of Hualing Palace also slowly dropped, but only those two powerful forces remained. Not only is it not weakening at all. On the contrary, it continued to strengthen.

Finally, after the two flames completely subsided, the figures of Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian finally appeared in front of everyone. What is surprising is that at this time, a small flaming phoenix loomed on the faces of these two people. The tattoos are distributed on the corners of their eyes. The difference is that the phoenix tattoo is on the left corner of Xu Qingfan's face, while it is on the right corner of Feng Qingtian's face.

But compared to how they were lying and sitting before the change, now they were both standing proudly. Slowly looking at the people around him, his eyes were still real. Apparently after this change, Feng Qingtian was no longer in a coma, and his strength increased greatly. And Xu Qingfan even detoxified the Xuansha poison, leaving only a slight scar on the side of his friend's face. It gave his originally delicate face a rugged masculinity.

And saw Xu Qingfan safe and sound. It goes without saying that Jin Qinghan and others were surprised, but Wang Qingjun was filled with horror. He was full of confidence in his Xuansha poison, but he didn't expect that Xu Qingfan could eliminate it in such a short time.

After a while, Xu Qingfan finally saw the situation around him clearly, and felt a little relieved knowing that no one was injured or killed after meditating. When he saw the worried looks that Jin Qinghan and others were looking at him, Xu Qingfan smiled slightly and nodded to indicate that he was fine and told them not to worry.

Feng Qingtian, on the other hand, ignored the others at all and just kept looking at the three snake guards. After a long time, he finally withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Xu Qingfan beside him, and said coldly: "What I owe you has been paid back. Here you go, we won’t owe each other anything from now on.”

Xu Qingfan was stunned for a moment, but he immediately thought of the reason why Feng Qingtian said this, and said with a smile: "Junior brother Feng, don't worry, these two changes were not intentional by you or me, but were caused by accidental coincidence. So between us I can’t tell who owes it to whom.”

Seeing that Feng Qingtian's expression was still bad, Xu Qingfan frowned slightly and continued: "Junior brother Feng, don't worry, the Feng family's secret knowledge will always belong to the Feng family only. Although I learned it unintentionally, it will never be passed on to others."

After Feng Qingtian heard what Xu Qingfan said, he also knew that Xu Qingfan was a person who accepted the promise, so the expression on his face softened a little. He also thought that Xu Qingfan was indeed kind to him, but his attitude just now was a bit excessive. He couldn't help but feel a little bit more guilty in his heart, and said softly: "Senior Brother Xu has a broad mind, and I am not as good as me."

Xu Qingfan smiled slightly and said he didn't care.

It turned out that after Xu Qingfan was poisoned just now, he felt the body's gradual paralysis and the poison's constant invasion of the vitality in his body. He didn't know how to solve it for a while, and he was really confused.

At this moment, he accidentally saw Feng Qingtian lying quietly on the ground in a coma, but suddenly his heart lit up because he remembered an incident ten years ago.

Ten years ago, in order to select the five best disciples to participate in the newcomer competition held jointly by the world of immortality ten years later, Jiuhua Sect held an internal competition, and Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian also signed up for their own purposes. .

As a result, because of their extraordinary strength, they successfully entered the semi-finals of the sect competition, and the two finally met in the semi-finals and became opponents.

That competition was the most complete defeat Xu Qingfan had ever encountered in his cultivation. In terms of spiritual energy, Taoism, magic tools, and adaptability, no matter in which aspect, he was completely defeated by Feng Qingtian's men.

In fact, Xu Qingfan had a chance to win at that time, which was to use the mist produced by the explosion of the "Flower of Love" that could paralyze the body. Take advantage of Feng Qingtian's unpreparedness to invade his body. When Feng Qingtian was unable to control his body, Xu Qingfan could naturally win.

This was the countermeasure that Xu Qingfan thought of after thinking hard for a long time, and it was also Xu Qingfan's only chance to win.

But Xu Qingfan didn't expect that although the mist produced by the "love flower" did paralyze Feng Qingtian's body, Feng Qingtian recovered quickly, and Xu Qingfan himself was seriously injured by Feng Qingtian's unexpected counterattack.

At that time, Feng Qingtian explained to Xu Qingfan. Fire can burn and destroy everything in the world. Although poison is insidious, it is also one of the things in the world, so it can naturally be burned.

In the mortal world, there is also a saying that fire represents destruction, but also represents rebirth, and can cleanse all kinds of stains in the world. It is roughly the same as what Feng Qingtian said.

Thinking of this. Xu Qingfan suddenly felt that the situation that was originally desperate suddenly had a glimmer of hope. Since Feng Qingtian can use the Phoenix Spirit Fire to remove the drug in his body, then he now has the Phoenix Spirit Fire in his body. Can it also be used to remove the poison of Xuansha?

So Xu Qingfan sat down, calmed down and began to mobilize the Phoenix spirit energy in his body to burn the poison in his body.

Unfortunately, Xu Qingfan miscalculated one thing, that is, he had only obtained the Phoenix Spiritual Energy for two years, and he did not have the talent and affinity of Feng Qingtian to control the Phoenix Spiritual Energy freely. So how could he use the Phoenix Spiritual Fire to burn the toxins in his body like Feng Qingtian without damaging his body?

More importantly, in order to prevent toxins from invading the brain, all the Phoenix Spiritual Energy in Xu Qingfan's body was concentrated near the brain. In this part, how could he easily control the Phoenix Spiritual Energy to turn into Phoenix Spiritual Fire to burn the toxins?

In desperation, Xu Qingfan could only mobilize the Phoenix Spiritual Energy in the Wutong Branch into his body and borrow the Phoenix Spiritual Energy in the Wutong Branch to remove the poison in his body.

However, at this time, Xu Qingfan and the Wutong Branch had not reached the point of unity of mind and matter. If he wanted to borrow the power in the Wutong Branch, he must first sense the energy fluctuations of the Wutong Branch, and then indulge his mind in it. Only after paying a certain price can a certain amount of Phoenix Spiritual Energy be transferred from it.

After Xu Qingfan summoned the phoenix spirit energy in the sycamore branch, the moment his mind left the sycamore branch, he suddenly sensed that there was another phoenix spirit energy fluctuating not far from him. Almost instinctively, Xu Qingfan used his consciousness to explore the place where the phoenix spirit energy fluctuated, but he didn't expect that he could easily enter, and the place where the phoenix spirit energy fluctuated was Feng Qingtian's body.

In fact, after the flames on Feng Qingtian's body subsided on Huandao Island, the nirvana-like mutation that happened to him had ended. It was just because Feng Qingtian's mind was exhausted a lot in this mutation, and he had a new understanding of the use of phoenix spirit energy, so he remained unconscious and constantly digested and simulated these new insights in his brain.

Because Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian participated in the change, they seemed to be reborn at the same time. There was a relationship between the two of them, similar to that of twins. There was a mysterious connection between the body and the mind. Feng Qingtian's body did not reject Xu Qingfan's consciousness at all. In addition, Feng Qingtian fell into a coma at this time. Xu Qingfan's consciousness easily entered Feng Qingtian's consciousness, and felt Feng Qingtian's understanding of the phoenix spirit as if he was watching from the sidelines. He even learned the three secret techniques that had been passed down in the Feng family for thousands of years without knowing it.

While Xu Qingfan was constantly comprehending the use of the phoenix spirit, the phoenix spirit in Xu Qingfan's body was also unconsciously running with his perception, constantly burning the toxins in the body. At the same time, according to these perceptions, the phoenix spirit was constantly transforming Feng Qingtian's body. After a period of time, the phoenix spirit fire actually eliminated the poison in Xu Qingfan's body without his knowledge! !

When Xu Qingfan's body recovered, Xu Qingfan, who had been immersed in Feng Qingtian's consciousness and constantly absorbing Feng Qingtian's perception of the phoenix spirit, suddenly woke up, almost separated from Feng Qingtian's consciousness, and returned to his own body. Feng Qingtian also woke up from his coma due to the sudden separation of Xu Qingfan's consciousness.

After the two woke up, they unconsciously tried a new use of the phoenix spirit, but found that the degree of transformation of the phoenix spirit fire on their bodies was so great. To a certain extent. The bodies of the two at this time have the characteristics of the ancient mythical beast phoenix in some aspects, so that when the two were running the phoenix spirit, they actually produced such unexpected changes.

And both of them are smart people. After waking up, they recalled the various scenes just now, and immediately understood the whole story of what happened to them just now.

Before, Feng Qingtian had received the help of the Wutong branch from Xu Qingfan. Although Feng Qingtian was seriously injured, he not only did not die on Huandao, but the phoenix spirit energy in his body increased greatly, and his understanding of the phoenix spirit energy in Nirvana was greatly deepened. But because of this, the phoenix spirit energy in the Wutong branch was consumed a lot, which greatly reduced Xu Qingfan's original hope of borrowing the power of the Wutong branch to break through the Jindan stage. And this is why Feng Qingtian said that he owed Xu Qingfan.

But things in the world seem to be a certainty, and the cause and effect cycle under the operation of the heaven. Just a few days later. Xu Qingfan accidentally invaded Feng Qingtian's consciousness. Not only did he easily obtain Feng Qingtian's understanding of the phoenix spirit energy for many years, and learned the three secret skills of the Feng family, but he also saved his life through these understandings.

The reason for all this was that he saved Feng Qingtian with the power of the Wutong branch a few days ago. In addition, because Xu Qingfan's consciousness suddenly withdrew, Feng Qingtian's continued understanding of the Phoenix spirit energy was interrupted, which can be said to have cut off Feng Qingtian's opportunity, so Feng Qingtian said that he had paid off all his debts to Xu Qingfan.

It's just that Feng Qingtian has always been proud of being the heir of the Feng family. Although he knew that Xu Qingfan learned the Feng family's unique skills unintentionally, and he owed Xu Qingfan a lot. But he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he was very cold when talking to Xu Qingfan. Xu Qingfan naturally understood the reason, so he promised that these unique skills would never be passed on to others, and Feng Qingtian's attitude eased a little.

It's just that only two people can understand the process and the whole story of these things, so the people who were originally puzzled by the changes that happened to Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian just now. After hearing the conversation between the two, they were even more confused. But knowing that this is not the time to ask questions, he just suppressed his confusion. Just guessing in his heart.

Just when everyone was confused and guessing secretly, Bai Qingfu suddenly spoke.

"Xu Qingfan, Feng Qingtian, long time no see."

After seeing the changes in Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian, Bai Qingfu recovered quickly after a brief moment of doubt and said softly: "I thought I didn't have to kill you personally, but I didn't expect you to wake up at this time. Is this really fate?"

After hearing Bai Qingfu's words, Xu Qingfan looked at the seven identical snakemen in front of him in confusion, and then cast a questioning look at Li Yuhan.

Jin Qinghan and Sheng Yushan were indifferent and taciturn, but Lu Qingshang liked to exaggerate when describing, so at this time Xu Qingfan was more inclined to let Li Yuhan explain what happened to him.

Seeing Xu Qingfan's inquiring eyes, Li Yuhan slowly retreated to Xu Qingfan's side and briefly explained to Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian what happened after Xu Qingfan meditated. After hesitating for a while, Li Yuhan repeated Bai Qingfu's dreamlike mumbling to the two.

Hearing Li Yuhan's narration, Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian couldn't help but feel shocked. They didn't expect that their former fellow disciples and comrades were actually poisonous snakes lurking around them. They might show their fangs and bite them at any time. Until then, Xu Qingfan realized that Wang Qingjun had turned into a human form. Because of the different clothes, blood on his face, and the change in his aura, Xu Qingfan didn't notice it just now.

It was not until then that Xu Qingfan finally understood why he always felt that Bai Qingfu and Wang Qingjun always had some similarities, and after Nangong Qingshan appeared, he also felt that he was familiar in some places. He still had this feeling after seeing the three snake guards appear. It turned out that they were all chess pieces arranged by Zhang Xusheng in Jiuhua, and their bodies had also been transformed by Zhang Xusheng. They were three of Zhang Xusheng's "Four Snake Guards".

After taking a look at Wang Qingjun who had turned into a human form, Xu Qingfan turned his eyes to Bai Qingfu, with mixed emotions in his heart. He suddenly found that Bai Qingfu was also an indispensable part of his memory in Jiuhua. If Xu Qingfan was asked to say who could be called his friend in Jiuhua Mountain, then in addition to Jin Qinghan, it was Bai Qingfu. And compared with Jin Qinghan's silence, he felt more relaxed when talking with Bai Qingfu.

But Xu Qingfan didn't expect that Bai Qingfu was actually a chess piece arranged by Zhang Xusheng in Jiuhua Mountain. And now he had to face life and death with him, but he had no choice.

Looking at Bai Qingfu, whose appearance had changed drastically, Xu Qingfan opened his mouth slightly, and just wanted to question or condemn something, but closed it again. Because he felt that Bai Qingfu was right in saying one thing. Ever since Bai Qingfu was transformed into a snake guard by Zhang Xusheng, Bai Qingfu was destined to become Jiuhua's enemy. Everything Bai Qingfu did was not his own choice.

So at this time, Bai Qingfu's actions were not wrong for him. It was Zhang Xusheng or the invisible fate that was wrong.

And seeing Xu Qingfan's complex eyes looking at him, at a certain moment, Bai Qingfu's eyes seemed to flash with a trace of helplessness and sigh, but soon it was quickly covered by indifference. After a moment of silence, he continued to say slowly: "I keep my promise. I won't let any of you die in a muddle. Now that you have understood the course of events, shouldn't we also have a conclusion?" As he spoke, Bai Qingfu's body was covered with a strong blood light, and his momentum soared.

"Oh, I'm suddenly itching to do something. Number Seven, give me some of your opponents. This way, we can solve the problem here faster and report back to the master earlier."

No. 33, who was covered in mist, suddenly flashed to Bai Qingfu's side and said lightly. But when he saw Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian coming out with great momentum, he was afraid that something might happen to Bai Qingfu when he was outnumbered, so he couldn't care less about the pride in his heart. He offered to join forces with Bai Qingfu to fight against the enemy.

Bai Qingfu looked at No. 33 beside him. Knowing that he couldn't persuade him, he could only nod slightly in agreement.

Sighed slightly. Xu Qingfan stepped forward, wanting to deal with Bai Qingfu with Jin Qinghan and others.

Since the fate of hostility is inevitable, no matter how unwilling he is, Xu Qingfan can only face it.

But as soon as Xu Qingfan's body moved, Feng Qingtian reached out to stop him. He looked at it in confusion, but heard Feng Qingtian say coldly: "Although you have eliminated the poison in your body, your spiritual energy is even more depleted. And just now you When I used the Phoenix Spirit Fire to burn away the poison in my body, my body suffered a lot of damage due to my unfamiliarity with it, so you should take a rest first, and I will help you deal with these snake people."

After hearing Feng Qingtian's words, Xu Qingfan was silent for a moment. Although he knew that what he said was true, he finally shook his head and said slowly: "Since Bai Qingfu took action, Junior Brother Jin took action, and you also took action, Everyone has taken action, how can I be alone in the rear? As Bai Qingfu said, we are enemies arranged by fate, and I am the only one who missed it at this time."

With that said, Xu Qingfan pushed away Feng Qingtian's blocking hand, walked quietly to Jin Qinghan's side, patted Jin Qinghan's shoulder, and told him not to worry.

"Is it fate?"

Feng Qingtian glanced at Xu Qingfan's back silently, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth. He seemed to be mocking Xu Qingfan's stubbornness and the impermanence and ruthlessness of fate. However, he did not stop him anymore, but walked to Lu Qingshang's house with Li Yuhan. Beside him, he looked solemnly at the two snake men, Bai Qingfu and No. 33.

Facing these two snake men with strange auras, even with all his strength, he could not guarantee victory.

After the two sides stood still, their momentum gradually became stronger, and the atmosphere between them became more solemn and tense, indicating that a big battle was about to begin.

In the sky, when they saw Feng Qingtian and Xu Qingfan waking up after the mutation, all the elders of Jiuhua looked happy. After all, Feng Qingtian is the number one master of the younger generation of Jiuhua, and Xu Qingfan is also the younger generation. With the two of them joining the team, their chances of winning will be much higher.

But when they saw No. 33 standing next to Bai Qingfu, their expressions became nervous again. When the two snake guardians join forces, the outcome becomes unpredictable again.

"well

In the midst of this tension, Zhang Xusheng suddenly sighed, breaking the solemn silence in front of him. It also focused all the eyes of everyone on the field on him.

A trace of vigilance flashed in Li Xuhan's eyes, and he asked in a solemn voice: "Junior brother, why are you sighing?"

Zhang Xusheng looked at Xu Qingfan and others at his feet, and said leisurely: "Although Jiuhua has fallen in recent years, with these little guys, the day of revival is just around the corner. From the competition between them and my Snake Guard, I I really wanted to watch it. ”

"What's a pity?" Li Xuhan asked with a frown.

Zhang Xusheng smiled slightly and said slowly: "It's a pity that the time has come."

Li Xuhan frowned and had an unknown premonition in his heart. He secretly became alert and asked, "When is the time coming?"

Zhang Xusheng turned to look at Li Xuhan and said calmly: "People from the other five holy places are coming to Jiuhua soon, and I don't want them to discover my existence. And I have almost prepared everything, so it's time arrive."

Having said this, Zhang Xusheng sighed again and said slowly: "Brother, thank you for your care over the years. Now, rest in peace."

As Zhang Xusheng's voice fell, changes suddenly occurred! !
