Seeking Immortality

Outside the bamboo forest, the sun was still bright, but Xu Qingfan's mood was no longer as comfortable as before.

In Xu Qingfan's mind, among the people he met since childhood, there were only three or five people who left a deep impression on him, from the second elder who told him stories when he was a child, to the master 6 Huayan who brought him into the world of cultivation, and then to the senior brother Yue Qingru who treated him like a brother and a father.

Originally, in Xu Qingfan's mind, Xiao Huazhe was just an elder with a serious nature. Although Xu Qingfan respected and feared him, he had not yet reached the height of "elder".

Elder represents a kind of care, a kind of warmth, and a kind of reliance.

But after the conversation with Xiao Huazhe just now, especially after calling himself a "disciple" to Xiao Huazhe, Xu Qingfan clearly felt that he also regarded Xiao Huazhe as an elder. Although he was serious and rarely smiled, he was also an elder who needed respect.

But the sad thing is that these elders, including Xiao Huazhe, could only accompany Xu Qingfan for a very short period of time, and then left one after another.

Is it fate?

Xu Qingfan sighed sadly, then shook his head and stopped thinking about it. These things were not within his control. Only one day, when he had achieved great success in cultivating immortality, would he have enough strength to change the cold fate.

Noticing Ting'er's gaze on him, Xu Qingfan smiled slightly, patted Ting'er's head, and signaled her not to worry about him. Then he took out the magic tools Xiao Huazhe had given him, and suddenly a strong aura came over him. After playing with it for a while, Xu Qingfan took out the green slip again and immersed his consciousness into it. Then the information of the three magic tools entered Xu Qingfan's mind in an instant.

It turned out that the long ruler with colorful spiritual light was actually an intermediate magic tool of the earth rank, named "Rainbow Ruler". It was an attack magic tool that could turn into a colorful long rainbow to attack the enemy, and at the same time, it could fascinate the eyes with colorful rays of light. And the most terrifying thing about this magic tool is this. But when it turns into a colorful long rainbow to attack the enemy, this colorful long rainbow can freely change between reality and illusion, making it hard to defend against.

This magic weapon was made by Xiao Huazhe after he took the "Rainbow Stone" from the East China Sea and the Beichuan Xiaguang and combined it with a variety of precious materials. It took more than ten years to refine it. Because it was refined by Xiao Huazhe alone, although this is not Xiao Huazhe's most powerful magic weapon. But it is one of Xiao Huazhe's most proud magic weapons.

After seeing the introduction of this "Rainbow Ruler", Xu Qingfan was surprised and frustrated. The surprise was that although he knew that Xiao Huazhe, as the first master of Jiuhua, would definitely not give him a bad magic weapon, he did not expect it to be a mid-level earth-level magic weapon, and it was so useful. Compared with this "Rainbow Ruler", Xu Qingfan's "Qingling Ruler" was simply not worth mentioning.

But what was frustrating was that Xu Qingfan found that he was only at the Lingji period, and the earth-level magic weapon could only be used flexibly by the Jindan period cultivators. Although Xu Qingfan could barely control this "Rainbow Ruler", he was far from being able to control it freely, let alone for a long time.

Suppressing the sadness and joy in his heart after obtaining the "Rainbow Ruler", Xu Qingfan continued to look at the information of the other two magic tools, and found that the preciousness of the other two magic tools was no less than that of the "Rainbow Ruler".

The copper mirror with a hazy light, which could not reflect a person's shadow, was called "Earth Mirror". It was a low-level earth-level magic tool used for assistance. It was a mirror-type magic tool made by Xiao Huazhe using the "Water Essence" of the East China Sea and the "Ancient Bronze" of the South Wasteland, imitating the "Heaven Mirror", the treasure of Jiuhua Mountain.

Like the "Heaven Mirror", the user can use the "Earth Mirror" to check the surrounding situation, and even use the "Earth Mirror" to project his own shadow and voice to any location within a radius of 100 miles. However, compared with the coverage of the "Heaven Mirror" of thousands of miles, this "Earth Mirror" only has a coverage of 100 miles, which seems to be much inferior.

More importantly, this "Earth Mirror" cannot penetrate restrictions and formations at will like the "Sky Mirror", nor can it easily see through high-level illusions. If the scenery you want to spy on is in a restriction or formation. Then the scenery in the mirror is blurry. And when encountering high-level illusions, it is also very easy to be deceived.

But in any case, this "Earth Mirror" is also an excellent auxiliary magic weapon.

As for the black stone, it is not a magic weapon, but an extremely rare and precious material in the world of immortal cultivation, called "Star Stone". After integrating it into the magic weapon, it can greatly increase the power and even the rank of the magic weapon. Although this "Star Stone" is only the size of a child's fist, it is enough to increase the power of four to five magic weapons. It was obtained by Xiao Huazhe at a great cost and effort. But he didn't expect that he didn't use it in the end, and gave it to Xu Qingfan cheaply.

After reading the detailed information of these three instruments and materials, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel happy. It was a luxury for a cultivator like him to get one of these three instruments or materials in his lifetime, but Xu Qingfan got three at once. It can be said that a beggar becomes a king in an instant. If it weren't for Xiao Huazhe knowing that he had no hope of survival at this time. And if it weren't for the fact that he regarded Xu Qingfan as a funeral farewell and a half-disciple, it would be a luxury for Xu Qingfan to get any of these things.

Just when he was happy. Xu Qingfan suddenly realized that his happiness and luck were built on Xiao Huazhe's tragedy, which was absolutely not right. He couldn't help but secretly cursed himself for being despicable, but no matter what, the original sadness in Xu Qingfan's heart was unconsciously relieved a lot.

Just as Xu Qingfan's mood kept changing, "Wanliyun" had already carried him and Ting'er to the top of Jiuhua Mountain in front of "Baicao Garden".

The top of Jiuhua Mountain is about two thousand feet high, with snow all year round and howling cold wind. Originally, Xu Qingfan was worried that Ting'er would not be able to stand the climate here, so he kept secretly observing Ting'er's expression, thinking that if Ting'er's face changed, After showing an expression that she couldn't bear it, he used the "Qingling Arm Guard" to protect her in the middle.

But Xu Qingfan was surprised to find that on the way to the top of Jiuhua Mountain, Ting'er not only did not show any sign of coldness or fear, but instead observed the snowy world in front of her with interest, her eyes full of curiosity. Only then did Xu Qingfan remember that Ting'er had lived in the Southern Wilderness since she was a child. She thought she had never seen ice and snow until she grew up.

Just when Xu Qingfan looked at Ting'er's calm expression and felt slightly reassured, he suddenly noticed some unobtrusive changes in Ting'er's body, and was surprised again.

It turned out that at some point, an extremely thin black flame appeared on Ting'er's body, turning into a human-shaped shield that stuck to Ting'er's skin and clothes to protect Ting'er. These black flames were so thin that Xu Qingfan could not notice them without deliberately observing them. And all the flying snow and even the cold wind that hit Ting'er. They were all burned completely by the black flame shield, so Ting'er could stand calmly in the cold wind and snow. But looking at the ends of Ting'er's clothes, they were not burned at all by the black flames.

Observing Ting'er's expression carefully, Xu Qingfan discovered that this flame shield was not deliberately used by Ting'er. With Ting'er's current cultivation level, she could not perform fire magic so well. Instead, it seemed that these black flames in Ting'er's body came naturally. for.

"Ting'er. Since your body was transformed by the magic bead, how many secrets have you hidden in your body?"

Looking at Ting'er's peaceful face, the traces of black flames on it were so conspicuous now, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but thought to himself.

Noticing Xu Qingfan's eyes observing her, Ting'er raised her head and looked at Xu Qingfan doubtfully. Xu Qingfan sighed secretly in his heart, but suppressed the surprise in his heart just now and pointed at the dilapidated courtyard of "Baicao Garden". He smiled at Ting'er and said: "Ting'er, we are here, and we will practice here for a while. There is a very powerful old uncle living there, and he is also a very good person. If you have any questions that you don't understand, just ask You can ask him."

Hearing what Xu Qingfan said, Ting'er curiously looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of her, as if she didn't understand that the powerful old uncle Xu Qingfan said would live in such a dilapidated courtyard again.

At this moment, Liu Huaxiang's old and hoarse voice suddenly came from the Baicao Garden.

Liu Huaxiang said in a slightly uninhibited voice: "Boy Xu. Did you come to my old man's house and know that I can hear what you said, so you said it specifically to me?"

Xu Qingfan was startled for a moment, but then he immediately smiled and said: "You can see this. It seems that I am not a scheming material."

Together with Liu Huaxiang, a casual old man, Xu Qingfan, who has a very reserved personality, will occasionally make one or two harmless jokes.

While talking, Xu Qingfan controlled the "Wanli Cloud" to land, pushed open the dilapidated wooden door of the "Baicao Garden", and walked in with Ting'er.

Baicao Garden occupies a large area because it needs to plant various spiritual herbs for Jiuhua Mountain. It is about tens of hectares in size. But even so, the green cocoon several feet tall is still conspicuous in this courtyard. Liu Huaxiang was still squatting next to Qing Cocoon as before, and his figure became even thinner.

After seeing Xu Qingfan and Ting'er entering the courtyard, Liu Huaxiang looked at Ting'er carefully first, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he obviously noticed the abnormality in Ting'er. Then he turned to Xu Qingfan and said as if he meant something. : "No one is born good at scheming, but in the face of life's twists and turns, people are unpredictable. You must learn to be scheming, especially if you want to lead a group of people or a sect, you must learn to be scheming. , even if it is forced. Even if these scheming are against your original wishes, you must be scheming for the sake of the future of your subordinates. Fortunately, you can not learn this kind of thing. Doesn’t mean you never will.”

Hearing what Liu Huaxiang said, Xu Qingfan was slightly startled. He didn't know why Liu Huaxiang said this to him. Just as he was about to say something, looking at Liu Huaxiang's rosy face, he couldn't help but think of his uncle Xiao Huazhe, so he asked : "Uncle Liu, are your internal injuries feeling better?"

Hearing the concern in Xu Qingfan's question, although he was annoyed that Xu Qingfan did not pick up his topic, Liu Huaxiang still had a warm look in his eyes and said with a smile: "It's much better. Internal injuries will naturally heal as time goes by. ”

But Xu Qingfan thought of what Xiao Huazhe said just now. All the elders who had stayed in Jiuhua Mountain had been forced by Zhou Huahai to take the "Tianling Pill", so he asked again: "Uncle Liu, you have always stayed in Jiuhua Mountain, so what?" Did Zhou Huahai make trouble for you? As far as I know, every elder in the left-behind area was forced to take the Tianling Pill. Did you take it, uncle?"

Liu Huaxiang was stunned for a moment. Seeing the sadness in Xu Qingfan's eyes, he immediately thought of the reason and asked in a warm voice: "Did you just come from Xiao Huazhe's place?"

Xu Qingfan responded sadly.

Liu Huaxiang sighed slightly and said slowly: "It's such a pity for Xiao Huazhe. Originally, among the Chinese generation, in terms of qualifications and character, he and Zhang Hualing were the best. They were also the most promising to enter the Mahayana period and become a generation. Grandmaster. It’s a pity that Zhang Hualing was delayed by the secular affairs in his family.”

Hearing Liu Huaxiang's evaluation as if it was from an elder, Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned, but because he was worried about Liu Huaxiang's safety, he didn't bother to think about the inappropriateness of it. He just nodded and continued to ask: "So Uncle Liu. Were you forced by Zhou Huahai to take the Tianling Pill?"

Liu Huaxiang shook his head and smiled: "During the time when Zhou Huahai threatened other elders, I happened to go down the mountain to do things. He couldn't find me, so how could he force me to take the Tianling Pill?"

Hearing Liu Huaxiang say this, Xu Qingfan felt relieved, but also strange "Didn't you say you never go down the mountain?"

Liu Huaxiang laughed and said, "You said you never go down the mountain, but can't you go down the mountain secretly? Otherwise, I, an old guy, didn't die at the hands of Zhang Xusheng, but was suffocated to death in Jiuhua Mountain. Isn't it unfair?"

What Xu Qingfan didn't know was that during that time, Liu Huaxiang went to Kuxiu Valley to seek help from the deaf, dumb and blind Venerable. Otherwise, although Li Xuhan was determined to kill Zhang Xusheng at all costs, he would not watch Zhou Huahai harm half of Jiuhua's elders.

Just when Xu Qingfan and Liu Huaxiang were chatting, they saw Ting'er staring at the huge green cocoon beside Liu Huaxiang. After a long time, Ting'er seemed to have finally confirmed something and broke free from Xu Qingfan's hand. He walked quickly to the green cocoon, and in the surprised eyes of Xu Qingfan and Liu Huaxiang, he reached out and gently stroked the rough surface of the green cocoon, his eyes showing joy, and he murmured softly: "Xiao Bi."

As if Xiao Bi, who was evolving, also heard Ting'er's call, the originally quiet and dim green cocoon suddenly burst out with extremely powerful spiritual fluctuations, and at the same time, the light was bright, and the dazzling green light seemed to block the entire sky, and the figures of Ting'er and Liu Huaxiang next to the green cocoon were quickly annihilated in this dazzling green light.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qingfan was horrified. Fearing that Ting'er would have an accident, he was about to rush to carry Ting'er out, but he heard Liu Huaxiang's voice suddenly.

"Boy, don't get excited, your Ting'er is not in any danger. Take a good look, the scene of the evolution of the blue-eyed cloud kicking beast is rare in a hundred years."

Hearing Liu Huaxiang's words, knowing that he would not deceive himself, Xu Qingfan stopped his rushing steps in astonishment, and then squinted his eyes and carefully observed the changes in the green cocoon under the strong light.

However, as the cyan light and spiritual fluctuations became stronger and stronger, the size of the green cocoon became smaller and smaller. As if it was absorbed, the shape of the green cocoon became more and more irregular, and slowly transformed into a beast shape.

Finally, a spiritual fluctuation and cyan light that were stronger than all the spiritual fluctuations and cyan light just now burst out, and at the same time, a beast roar suddenly sounded from the center of the strong light. The power of this giant beast roar was so strong. The wind and clouds in the sky changed, and the ice and snow on the ground cracked. Even with Xu Qingfan's current cultivation, he couldn't help but retreat several steps in this beast roar, and his internal organs were churning.

After a long time, the light dissipated, and an adult blue-eyed cloud kicking beast appeared in front of Xu Qingfan. It was the evolved Xiaobi. The size and power were three times greater than its mother, and the blue eyes were shining, looking forward to Gu Shengwei.

But what reassured Xu Qingfan was that although Xiaobi had become a big one, he still recognized Ting'er. When he saw Ting'er beside him, he kept nudging her head towards her affectionately. However, his body was so huge now that it looked a bit funny, and Xu Qingfan was even more worried that Xiaobi would hurt Ting'er with his head.

And it was obvious that Xu Qingfan was overthinking. Although Xiaobi was huge at this time, his movements were extremely relaxed. Under his nudging, Ting'er, who was always cold, actually laughed softly.

At this moment, Xiaobi, who was playing with Ting'er, seemed to suddenly realize something. His nose moved, and the original playful attachment in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and turned into a strong animal nature. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Xu Qingfan, and Xu Qingfan only felt a wild and violent breath rushing towards him.

"Ah

After discovering Xu Qingfan, the murderer of her mother, Xiaobi no longer cared about playing with Ting'er. She felt that she had the power of revenge. She roared to the sky and then rushed towards Xu Qingfan with great momentum!!
