Seeking Immortality

After the Jiuhua elder announced the order from the front mountain, he said nothing more. Without stopping, he turned into a red glow again, flew quickly towards the front mountain, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

After bowing to send the Jiuhua elder away, Xu Qingfan saw the worried looks on the faces of Sheng Yushan and Li Yuhan, and thought that they were worried that Zhang Hualing would settle accounts with them, the two direct descendants of Zhou Huahai, so he hurriedly comforted him. Said: "Two nephews, don't worry, I don't think the head master uncle will be so impotent. What's more, when we were trapped in the Jiuji Formation, the two nephews had already expressed their attitude. So even if master uncle Zhou rebels, , Master Master Uncle will never do anything to you, I think it might be a reward for asking you to come this time."

Jin Qinghan also nodded and agreed. It seems that after this Jiuhua Rebellion, he has already slightly recognized Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan. Otherwise, given his character, he would never make any more statements at this time.

Li Yuhan shook his head and said softly: "Uncle Xu, do you know why Junior Brother Sheng and I still stood on the side of the master uncle in the Jiuji Formation even though our master had an absolute advantage? ?”

Xu Qingfan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan's previous statements in the "Nine Extremes Formation" were very strange. It stands to reason that when everyone was trapped in the "Nine-pole Formation", Zhou Huahai had all the advantages, and they were Zhou Huahai's direct descendants, so both of them should turn to Zhou Huahai based on emotion and reason. However, The fact is just the opposite. Both Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan sided with Zhang Hualing without hesitation, which seemed very strange.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan both cast questioning looks at Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan.

But I heard Li Yuhan explain slowly: "Junior Brother Sheng and I were originally two orphans who depended on each other and wandered around. We suffered all the pain and contempt in the world. When we were about to starve to death, we met our great uncle who was traveling around. It was he. He saved us. Seeing that our qualifications were good, he brought us into Jiuhua Mountain. Just because the master uncle never accepted disciples, he gave us two to the master, but the master gave me two. Gave it to the master."

After a pause, Li Yuhan continued: "After we made some achievements in cultivation, it was our master uncle who arranged for us to become the eldest disciples among the disciples of the Yu generation, so as to lead all the disciples of the Yu generation. In Jiuhua Mountain entrusts us with important responsibilities and often teaches us the experience of cultivating immortals. In comparison, the master is cold-tempered, but we are more kind to the master uncle. "

Following Li Yuhan's words, Sheng Yushan nodded in agreement, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

After hearing Li Yuhan's words, Xu Qingfan felt reassured and asked strangely: "In that case, why are you still worried? If the master uncle has such a relationship with you, then you will definitely not do anything about Uncle Zhou. and was implicated.”

Li Yuhan shook his head and sighed: "We are not worried about ourselves, but about our master. Although he is cold by nature and has little communication with our brothers on weekdays, after all, once he is a master, he is always a father. We are worried What will happen to him?"

Xu Qingfan was suddenly enlightened and said: "I think the reason why the head master asked you to go this time is to talk about this matter. Worrying here is not the solution. It is better to go to the Hualing Palace to ask the head master for a clear explanation."

Li Yuhan nodded, cupped his hands to Xu Qingfan and said: "Two uncles, let's go now."

Xu Qingfan nodded, and after settling down Ting'er, he flew towards the front mountain with Jin Qinghan, Li Yuhan, and Sheng Yushan. After arriving at the front mountain, they separated to find their goals. Among them, Xu Qingfan went to visit the "Baicao Garden" on the top of Jiuhua Mountain. Liu Huaxiang and Uncle Liu. Jin Qinghan went to his master's cave to look for his master. As for Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan, they went to the "Hualing Hall" to find the leader Zhang Hualing.

On the way that the Royal Envoy flew "Wanli Yun" to "Baicao Garden", Xu Qingfan kept thinking about Liu Huaxiang's purpose of finding him.

As far as Xu Qingfan knows, although Liu Huaxiang is extremely powerful, he is withdrawn and has many conflicts with other elders of Jiuhua, so his influence in Jiuhua Mountain is not great. However, it is not known how he can instruct Jiuhua through Zhang Hualing. Elder Hua sent him a message? And just after the Jiuhua Rebellion ended, what was the purpose of this eccentric Master Liu looking for him? You must know that this uncle has never taken the initiative to find him.

Liu Huaxiang is actually the former head of Jiuhua, Li Xuhan. In Jiuhua Mountain, only the leader Zhang Hualing originally knew about it. Even after the Jiuhua Rebellion, this matter was only known to the elders of each faction. So until now, Xu Qingfan only regarded Liu Huaxiang as an eccentric person who had no interest in him. Just a congenial master-uncle.

But even though I was confused, after hearing the order from the elder Jiuhua. But it also made Xu Qingfan feel relieved.

This time Jiuhua Rebellion. There were many casualties among the disciples and even the elders. Xu Qingfan was very afraid that something unexpected would happen to Liu Huaxiang. After all, Liu Huaxiang was one of the few elders Xu Qingfan knew well in Jiuhua Mountain. Originally, Xu Qingfan planned to visit Liu Huaxiang and Xiao Huazhe after settling his own affairs.

The "Ten Thousand Miles of Cloud" moved very fast, and it didn't take long for Xu Qingfan to fly to the top of Jiuhua Mountain.

No matter what kind of changes have occurred in Jiuhua Qianshan, or the houses and scenery have been destroyed, or the disciples and elders have been killed and injured countless times, the top of Jiuhua Mountain is still covered with snow and the ice wind blows, as if they are looking down at the pain on their bodies coldly. Great changes.

Big seas can turn into mulberry fields, and mountains can turn into valleys. Or, for this Jiuhua Mountain, the Jiuhua Sect and even the entire world of immortality are just moments. Only the night wind blowing from the sky and the moonlight and starlight falling from the sky are the real eternity.

When Xu Qingfan commanded the "Wanli Cloud" to land on the top of Jiuhua Mountain, he was about to knock on the dilapidated wooden door of "Baicao Garden" when Liu Huaxiang's old voice suddenly came from inside the door.

"Is this Master Xu? No need to knock on the door, just come in."

Qingfan replied respectfully.

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, Xu Qingfan found Liu Huaxiang squatting in the courtyard of the "Baicao Garden" as usual, but what was different from usual was that this time the things in front of Liu Huaxiang were not the usual exotic flowers and plants. Instead, it was an unusually large green cocoon, more than ten feet tall, six or seven feet wide and long, glowing with a faint green light, and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations constantly coming from it. The thin and thin Liu Huaxiang squatted aside, but the green cocoon made the green cocoon even more gigantic.

See this scene. Xu Qingfan was stunned for a moment, pointed at the cocoon, and asked hesitantly: "Uncle Liu, this is..."

I saw Liu Huaxiang turning to Xu Qingfan and smiling: "Are you talking about this cocoon? You should be familiar with it. Take a good look at its spiritual energy fluctuations."

Seeing Liu Huaxiang turning his head, Xu Qingfan was startled. He stared at Liu Huaxiang's face and asked in horror: "Uncle Liu. What happened to you? How did you become like this?"

It turned out that although Liu Huaxiang was old and gloomy, he still had at least a bit of vitality in his body, and there was a glint in his eyes from time to time, even though he looked old. But it can also give people a glimpse of the majestic and terrifying power contained in that old body.

But at this time, Liu Huaxiang's appearance changed from languid to lifeless, and his original skinny figure turned into skin and bones, with no luster in his eyes. If he hadn't heard Liu Huaxiang speak just now, Xu Qingfan would have turned the man in front of him on his head. Treat it like a mummy.

That's why Xu Qingfan was so surprised when he saw Liu Huaxiang's appearance, and even forgot about the strange green cocoon next to Liu Huaxiang.

After Liu Huaxiang noticed the worried look on Xu Qingfan's face, a hint of warmth flashed through his originally dull eyes, but he smiled nonchalantly and said, "You don't have to worry, nephew Xu. It's just that he suffered a little in the Jiuhua Incident." It’s just an internal injury. It will heal in a while.”

Hearing Liu Huaxiang's explanation, Xu Qingfan was still a little worried, but since Liu Huaxiang had said so, Xu Qingfan couldn't ask any more questions. He just settled and said: "Uncle Liu, since you are suffering from internal injuries, why are you still playing with things here? It's better to meditate as soon as possible. Rest is the way to go.”

Liu Huaxiang smiled casually and said: "Why is it so troublesome? The older I get, the less calm I get. Meditating is enjoyable for others, but it is difficult for me. What's more, I have already meditated. It’s been a lifetime, and I don’t have much time left to live, so why should I spend the remaining time on endless meditation? Is it better to seize the last bit of time and do something that interests me? Things are better."

Hearing what Liu Huaxiang said, Xu Qingfan's ominous premonition became stronger. However, although he wanted to persuade him more, looking at Liu Huaxiang's expression, he knew that it was useless to say more. All he could say was: "But uncle, you should at least heal your internal injuries first, right?"

Liu Huaxiang shook his head. Sighing slowly: "This kind of injury cannot be cured by meditating." Seeing Xu Qingfan's worried eyes, he smiled and said: "As time goes by. After taking some magic pills, it will gradually heal." It’s healed, there’s no need to bother.”

Hearing what Liu Huaxiang said, Xu Qingfan was still a little uneasy, but he couldn't say anything more. After all, Liu Huaxiang knew more about internal injuries than he did.

But I heard Liu Huaxiang continue to say: "Don't talk about me, an old man, you haven't checked the spiritual energy fluctuations of this green cocoon as I said."

Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned, but still closed his eyes, carefully feeling the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the green cocoon as Liu Huaxiang said.

Brutal, innocent, mixed, pure, several completely different feelings were introduced into Xu Qingfan's consciousness. Coupled with the strong aura of Mu Yi and the breath of beasts, Xu Qingfan seemed to be able to feel a blue demon several feet tall. The beast was roaring angrily at him, with astonishing power.

Xu Qingfan is familiar with this feeling and energy fluctuation because he has encountered it twice. One time it was three points weaker than the fluctuation coming from the green cocoon. It was what Xu Qingfan felt when he returned to the Southern Wilderness to avenge his people and fought the blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast. The other time was much weaker, but it was After he killed the blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast, Ting'erdi Xiaobi woke up from her coma and rushed towards him to bite him.

Xu Qingfan's body was shaken, he opened his eyes and looked at the green cocoon in front of him in disbelief, and said in shock: "Blue-eyed Cloud Kicking Beast!!??"

Liu Huaxiang smiled and nodded, looking at the green cocoon beside him, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and said: "It is the Bi-Eyed Cloud Kick Beast, and it is a Bi-Eyed Cloud Kick that will evolve soon after taking a large amount of elixir. Beast. You must know that the blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast is rare in the world of immortality. The evolving blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast is even more rare. You and I are in luck this time. If my expectations are correct, This blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast will complete its evolution in just one to two days."

Xu Qingfan was about to say something, but he was suddenly stunned, and suddenly remembered Ting'er's green-eyed cloud-kicking beast Xiaobi. I haven't seen it since I returned to Jiuhua Mountain this time. The big changes happened one after another, and Ting'er didn't say much, so Xu Qingfan ignored it, but looked at the sudden appearance next to Liu Huaxiang. Biyanyun kicked the beast, and then thinking of Xiaobi who suddenly disappeared, Xu Qingfan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Uncle Liu, the blue-eyed cloud kicking beast is very rare in the world of immortality. Where did you get this one?" Xu Qingfan asked hesitantly.

Liu Huaxiang laughed, looking at Xu Qingfan with a faint smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you accidentally got a little blue-eyed cloud kicking beast when you went out last time? I was just waiting for you to go to Zhan. When I was participating in the rookie competition, I went to your cave, talked to your little Ting'er, took it out, and fed it some magic medicine, and then it became like this. "

Hear Liu Huaxiang’s explanation. Although he had a premonition in his heart, Xu Qingfan still felt powerless for a while. That Xiaobi and Xu Qingfan had a grudge against their mother. Xu Qingfan had told Liu Huaxiang before, but he didn't expect that Liu Huaxiang would feed it a magical medicine to help it evolve.

I don’t know what kind of elixir Liu Huaxiang fed Xiao Bi. Although Xiao Bi has not yet completed evolution at this time, the spiritual energy fluctuations from the green cocoon are already stronger than the fluctuations from its mother. In this way, after After it fully evolved, it saw its mother-killing enemy and pounced for revenge. Although Xu Qingfan is now much stronger than before, he may still have to use a lot of tricks to solve it.

Thinking that he would have to guard against the attack of an adult blue-eyed cloud kicking beast every day from now on, Xu Qingfan felt annoyed and had the urge to turn into a piranha and devour the green cocoon in front of him, as well as Master Liu. . But impulse was just impulse. Liu Huaxiang was Xu Qingfan's elder. Xu Qingfan couldn't say much, but he still couldn't help showing a look of dissatisfaction on his face. Although this Uncle Liu doesn't care about anything, he can't give me any trouble.

Xu Qingfan thought secretly.

As people age, they become fine, and as they age, they become monsters. With Liu Huaxiang's experience of living for thousands of years, how could he not see the dissatisfaction in Xu Qingfan's heart? But he didn't care, he just smiled. Then he threw a green bead to Xu Qingfan. Xu Qingfan caught it subconsciously and took a look at it. He found that the bead was not only crystal clear, but also filled with green energy. There was even a strange spiritual energy wave coming faintly.

"This is...?" Xu Qingfan asked strangely.

Liu Huaxiang smiled and explained: "This is the soul bead of the blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast. As long as you wear it on your body, the life and death of the blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast will depend on you. And with this soul bead. The blue-eyed cloud kicking beast will also be extremely afraid of you. Even if its strength increases after evolving, it will never dare to cause trouble for you. "

Hearing what Liu Huaxiang said, Xu Qingfan felt relieved knowing that Liu Huaxiang's cultivation methods would not be fake. I just thought that when the blue-eyed cloud kicking beast grew up, it would be several feet tall, and its already surprisingly large appetite would probably increase greatly, and I couldn't help but feel helpless again. But he still said: "This junior has wrongly blamed my uncle, please forgive me."

With that said, Xu Qingfan bowed deeply to Liu Huaxiang.

Liu Huaxiang waved his hand and said, "I don't want to forgive you. Just don't blame me, an old man, for too many things."

After a pause, Liu Huaxiang said again: "I know that this blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast hates you very much, and in order to prevent him from having the power of revenge, you never give it the elixir, and it has been waiting for a long time. Evolution. But you don't know that this strange beast has a strange nature. If it doesn't get the spiritual medicine for a long time, it will die of exhaustion. I once raised a blue-eyed cloud kicker as a substitute spirit beast. , was very loyal to me, but he died in an accident before, so I couldn’t bear to watch this Blue-Eyed Cloud-Kicking Beast die like this, and with the rarity of the Blue-Eyed Cloud-Kicking Beast, it would be okay to just die like this. It's a pity. So I couldn't help but bring it here. I hope you can be more understanding."

Hearing what Liu Huaxiang said, Xu Qingfan suddenly felt that no wonder Ting'er would easily let Liu Huaxiang take Xiaobi away. I'm afraid it was Liu Huaxiang who told Ting'er what he said. With this thought in his mind, Xu Qingfan still hurriedly responded: "Uncle, you must have your reasons for doing things. How dare I, this junior, blame you."

As he said that, Xu Qingfan suddenly thought of some information he had learned from Zhao Qingxuan before, and couldn't help asking strangely: "Uncle Liu, as far as I know, in the history of our Jiuhua, only the previous head, Li Xuhan, Uncle Li had raised one. Why have you ever raised a blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast?”

Liu Huaxiang was slightly startled when he heard Xu Qingfan's words. But he immediately smiled and said: "Haha, that's because Master Li is relatively famous, so everyone pays attention to him. For a guy like me who is withdrawn and doesn't make many friends, no one will notice even if I raise a blue dragon."

Then, Liu Huaxiang suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Master Nephew Xu. Do you know why I asked someone to call you here to find me this time?"

Xu Qingfan was stunned for a moment before he remembered the purpose of coming here and hurriedly said: "Uncle, please clear up the confusion."

Liu Huaxiang explained: "I am old and have few days to live, and the top of Jiuhua Mountain is too deserted, so I want to find a junior to accompany me to relieve my loneliness. Jiuhua Mountain is familiar to me. He also said that you are the only one of the younger generation who is coming together, and your master happened to have passed away many years ago. Without a master around to teach you, you have many doubts in cultivating immortality these past years, so you can ask me. Come live with me and find someone to pass on my unique skills. What do you think?"

Hearing what Liu Huaxiang said, Xu Qingfan was overjoyed. You know, having a monk in the alchemy stage to guide you is of great help to ordinary cultivators.

Over the years of cultivating immortality alone, Xu Qingfan has made rapid progress due to one reason or another, but he still has a lot of doubts in his heart, but no one can answer him. Xiao Huazhe is serious by nature, and Xu Qingfan doesn't dare to get close to you too much. Liu Huaxiang always gave people the impression that he was disdainful of cultivating immortals, so Xu Qingfan rarely asked them. If this continued, Xu Qingfan would sooner or later become possessed by accidents.

Now Liu Huaxiang actually offered to personally guide Xu Qingfan in cultivating immortality. How could Xu Qingfan not like it?

Just a fleeting thought. Xu Qingfan thought of Ting'er in the back mountain again. So just when I wanted to agree, I became hesitant again.

Liu Huaxiang obviously knew Xu Qingfan's concerns very well. He smiled and said: "Why, are you worried about Ting'er? I was just about to say this. You can bring her to the Baicao Garden. I am also very interested in the changes in her body. In this way I can also give her some guidance. This girl was once claimed by a magic bead and has a cold heart, so she must be taught some principles from a young age, otherwise she will inevitably fall into the devil's path in the future. "

Hearing what Liu Huaxiang said, Xu Qingfan finally felt relieved, bowed to Liu Huaxiang, and said respectfully: "Thank you, uncle."

Liu Huaxiang laughed and said: "No thanks, you and I are just helping each other. Well, it's not too early now. Go back and pack and have a rest. We'll move in early tomorrow."

"yes."

After saying goodbye to Liu Huaxiang, Xu Qingfan used the "Wanli Cloud" to fly quickly towards his cave in Jiuhua Back Mountain.

Seeing Xu Qingfan's disappearing figure, the smile on Liu Huaxiang's face almost disappeared.

In fact, among the younger generation of disciples in Mount Jiuhua, there are not many who are more qualified than Xu Qingfan. The reason why Liu Huaxiang asked Xu Qingfan to accompany him and decided to teach Xu Qingfan personally was because he had his own ideas.

First of all, Liu Huaxiang had a deep understanding of the notes on evil practices that Zhang Xusheng left in Jiuhua Mountain eight hundred years ago, and combined his understanding to develop other aspects of those experiences, such as "blood coagulation*" and " The "Soul-Destroying Technique" are all miraculous techniques that even Zhang Xusheng does not know. Many of these exercises can improve Xu Qingfan's qualifications. Liu Huaxiang believes that as long as Xu Qingfan can improve his qualifications, with his intelligence, his potential will never be worse than Feng Qingtian and Jin Qinghan. Jiuhuashan will definitely add another master by then.

Secondly, Liu Huaxiang knew that after this change, he was already dead, but he didn't want the Taoist methods he had studied over the years to be lost, so he just wanted to find a successor to pass them on. It's just that some of these cultivation methods are too cruel to be taught by just anyone. It is inevitable that there will be some well-intentioned people who will harm the common people without any scruples in order to increase their cultivation. In Jiuhua Mountain, only Xu Qingfan was in line with his wishes in terms of temperament and conduct. And after these years of observation, he also knew that Xu Qingfan would never use those Taoist methods to harm others, so he chose Xu Qingfan as his own. successor.

And the most important thing is, as a grandmaster who has protected Jiuhua Mountain for many years. Liu Huaxiang has already begun to think about the future of Jiuhua Mountain.

In order to quell Zhou Huahai's rebellion this time, Zhang Hualing used the "Dai Tian Technique" to defeat Zhou Huahai at the expense of his own life. Although he didn't show anything wrong now, Liu Huaxiang knew that his disciple might have been greatly reduced in terms of strength and longevity, and the position of head of Jiuhua might not be long.

Although even if Zhang Hualing is gone one day, there will still be some elders of the "Hua" generation in Jiuhua Mountain, but in Liu Huaxiang's opinion, these elders may be of sufficient strength. But no one has the ability to manage a sect. Therefore, the idea of ​​letting other elders succeed as the head of Jiuhua was discarded.

Among the disciples of the "Qing" generation, the outstanding ones are Xu Qingfan, Jin Qinghan, Feng Qingtian, and Lu Qingshang. Among them, Jin Qinghan has a sharp personality and is not suitable to lead Jiuhua Mountain, which is now greatly weakened. Feng Qingtian has an aloof personality and is even more unsuitable to be the leader. Lu Qingshang is more suitable to be a counselor rather than a controller. Li Yuhan, one of the disciples of the "Yu" generation, is a good choice. He is very capable at a young age. In many aspects, he is more suitable to be the leader than Xu Qingfan. But it has little reputation and insufficient prestige. Moreover, it is difficult for Liu Huaxiang to imagine letting a disciple of the "Yu" generation lead a group of "Qing" generation disciples and more than ten elders of the "Hua" generation.

After much deliberation, only Xu Qingfan is the most suitable, and Xu Qingfan's personality is very similar to that of him and Zhang Hualing. If Jiuhua is handed over to Xu Qingfan, Liu Huaxiang can rest assured that the policies he and Zhang Hualing have implemented in Jiuhua over the years can continue to be implemented. . Moreover, his experience in Huandao proved that Xu Qingfan did have good leadership skills.

In Liu Huaxiang's view, although Xu Qingfan has leadership abilities, his shortcomings are also obvious, especially his soft personality. There are many indecisiveness and indecisiveness in his actions, his understanding of human nature is also naive, and he still holds many naive ideas in his heart. But Liu Huaxiang believes that through his own teaching, he can correct these shortcomings.

"Xu Qingfan, I hope you can pass my test in the future and become what I want you to be. Otherwise, I will have to find another way. And whether you will become the leader of a sect or just a master. It depends. Your own performance."

When Xu Qingfan's figure disappeared from Liu Huaxiang's sight, Liu Huaxiang sighed slightly, his eyes became extremely distant, and he thought secretly in his heart.

However, although Liu Huaxiang is a master with a superb mind. But can you really predict and plan a person's future journey? Things are changing. Any result is actually composed of countless coincidences. Where will Xu Qingfan go in the future? But where can he arrange it?

ps: Well, after writing this chapter, I suddenly found that there were a lot of reminder tickets yesterday, probably about 20. It’s shameful to say that there haven’t been so many updates from Bugs for a long time. But the scary thing is that most of these reminder votes are for 12,000 words. Since everyone has voted, Chongzi cannot let everyone vote in vain. This is the first update. Chongzi will update a big chapter immediately. The total number of words in the two chapters is at least 12,000 words. It’s just that the second update may be a little late, but it must be before 12 o’clock.
