Seeking Immortality

Looking at Wan Yusheng's hurried away figure, Xu Qingfan's heart flashed with solemnity.

Originally, Xu Qingfan planned to ask about the traces of acquaintances under the "Qingxu Sect" such as Lu Ziqing, Shang Nianyao, Xu Xiurong, and Bao Wei, because Xu Qingfan knew that Bao Wei had always had a close relationship with Qing Lingzi, and Lu Ziqing, Shang Nianyao, and Xu Xiurong He is Qing Lingzi's direct disciple, so he doesn't know whether the incident in the "Qingxu Sect" is bad or good. However, thinking that his identity at this time is a casual cultivator who has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, in order to avoid Wan Yusheng's suspicion, so I can only give up.

"I didn't expect that the current situation in the world of immortality would be so chaotic. And according to Wan Yusheng, among the monks who disappeared, there are still some monks in the elixir-formation stage. It seems that I need to be careful. But since the world of immortality is at this time It's so chaotic and dangerous, so I have to ask the old beggar to help me upgrade the magic weapon. This will give me more power to protect myself."

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan no longer had the intention to fly against the clouds to see the scenery at his feet. Instead, he put away the auspicious clouds and turned into a violent gray wind and flew quickly in the direction of the city in his memory. In this way, as long as you don't use your spiritual sense to explore the surroundings at any time, even if someone has ulterior motives, they won't be able to easily find traces of Xu Qingfan.

Because of his eagerness, Xu Qingfan flew extremely fast along the way. If he encountered chaos in the world again, he would directly blow the "wind of desolation" transformed from his body around those thugs, and under the influence of the "wind of desolation" Under the power and Xu Qingfan's exquisite control, these thugs were all killed instantly, but the innocent people were not hurt at all.

Along the way, Xu Qingfan didn't know how many lives he saved and how many thugs he killed. Over time, the legend spread throughout the world that there is a wind god in the sky who can punish evil and promote good. Some people even formed a "divine wind sect" to worship the wind of heaven and earth day and night. Xu Qingfan, who only learned about the situation later, was dumbfounded.

Traveling like this day and night, even though Xu Qingfan's magical power to transform into a strong wind was extremely fast, it still took him dozens of days to fly to the Xiuxianfang City where he had been before.

Xu Qingfan still remembers how shocked he was when Zhao Qingxuan brought him to the gate of Fangshi. It's not because of how hidden or huge this city is, but because it is located underground in a famous tourist attraction. It can be said that it is hidden in the city.

Although the scene of people coming and going in front of the Taoist temple at that time is still vivid in my mind, but now I look at this Taoist temple. But it was already deserted. Obviously, in the chaos of the mortal world, people no longer had the intention to visit here. Only a few people came here to worship the gods with an uneasy mood. May you or your family be safe. But the panic on their faces told Xu Qingfan that even these mortals knew that gods could not save them, let alone this troubled world. The so-called worshiping gods was just to seek comfort in their hearts.

Just like the last time, Xu Qingfan appeared. Two Taoists approached Xu Qingfan. Ask Xu Qingfan if he wants to trade in the market.

Looking at these Taoists whose cultivation was only in the Qi refining stage, Xu Qingfan was curious. As the two Taoists led him towards the city, he couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, this fellow Taoist, I admit that I don't have any spiritual energy fluctuations in my body, but I don't know why I came here twice. Discover the identity of Xiu Xian? "

A younger Taoist explained with a smile: "Although our Qingfeng Taoist method is humble, it also has an advantage, that is, it can easily sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the cultivator. Of course, this so-called discernment is only limited to knots. A monk below the Dan stage. The senior has already reached the Dan stage, and the spiritual energy in his body is extremely restrained, but there is another reason why the juniors and others can recognize the senior's identity."

"Oh? What's the reason?" Xu Qingfan asked curiously.

Another Taoist smiled and said: "Because we have to keep an eye on this Xiuxianfang City at any time, we are quite familiar with the world's rare treasures. This jade pendant on the senior's waist must be the legendary Huanyao Jade Pendant, right? Junior I was lucky enough to see it once in this market. At that time, a senior exchanged this jade pendant for spiritual stones, and finally the price was paid for three thousand spiritual stones. I think this kind of rare treasure can be obtained by mortals. During troubled times, you wouldn’t dare wear it on your waist openly, right?”

As he spoke, the Taoist pointed at the "Huanyao Jade Pendant" on Xu Qingfan's waist.

Looking at the "Huanyao Jade Pendant" surrounded by purple energy around his waist, Xu Qingfan smiled bitterly in his heart. He did not expect that this thing would reveal his identity. At the same time, he also secretly admired these two Taoists. Although their level of skill was higher than that of Xu Qingfan, It's not worth mentioning in the eyes, but the discernment developed after many years of being in charge of reception is far superior to ordinary people.

While they were talking, two Taoists had already brought Xu Qingfan to Fangshi.

Seeing the bustling crowd and the lively scene You Sheng saw last time, Xu Qingfan was slightly startled. He had always thought that at this time, the situation in the world of immortality was unpredictable. Logically speaking, all the immortals should be retreating in their masters. Who are you in the mood to come here to exchange items?

But in a second thought, Xu Qingfan understood the reason. It was precisely because of the unpredictable situation in the world of immortality at this time that a large number of immortals gathered in the market, either to exchange some spiritual stones to prepare for the retreat, or to use the unused ones. Try to change things as much as possible with some magic weapons that are suitable for you to use or elixirs that increase your aura, so that you can have the strength to cope with the various changes that will come in the world of immortality. Just like Xu Qingfan, Laifangshi's mentality at this time is similar to this.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan smiled helplessly, bid farewell to the two Taoists who led the way, and walked towards the market. At the same time, I also thought secretly in my heart: "I hope that old beggar is still in this market at this time, otherwise it will take a lot of time and energy to find him. You know, I know him in the world of immortality." A person who is good at refining weapons. Well, it seems that after returning to the mountain, I should read some books about refining weapons and refine some magical weapons that are suitable for my own use. "

At the same time, Xu Qingfan continued to browse the items for sale at various stalls, such as magic weapons or elixirs, as well as some rare treasures. There were many things that were originally rare in the world of cultivating immortals, but at this time, the whole Monks in the world of cultivating immortals all have a feeling that their future is uncertain and they only want to increase their strength as soon as possible. But they didn't care whether the things they were selling in exchange were valuable.

Unfortunately, although there are many precious things in the market, most of them are items suitable for use by monks below the Dan Dan stage. Now that Xu Qingfan has reached the middle stage of the Void Dan, these items are of no use to Xu Qingfan. . Xu Qingfan, who was still in a Taobao mood, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Halfway through, Xu Qingfan suddenly stopped and saw two bottles of elixir placed on a stall, with a wooden sign placed underneath. But there is only one line written on it - "Demon spirit pill is used for the spirit beasts raised for cultivating immortals. Taking a large amount can increase the level of the spirit beast."

Seeing this introduction, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel something in his heart. His monster Xiao Hei was still a low-level monster at this time. Moreover, through Xu Qingfan's observation, Xiao Hei can only advance when he absorbs the death energy. Unfortunately, although Xu Qingfan often inputs death energy into Xiao Hei's body over the years, the death energy required for Xiao Hei's advancement is too huge. Although Hei's strength has increased a bit, he is still far away from reaching the next level.

"But I don't know if Xiao Hei will have any effect after swallowing some of this elixir specially used by monsters."

Think of this. Xu Qingfan walked to this stall. He asked the stall owner: "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, how can you exchange for this demon spirit pill?"

The stall owner is a young monk with a dull look in his eyes. He only had the cultivation level of the Bigu stage, and he was dumbfounded and didn't know what he was thinking. There were very few monks who raised spiritual beasts in the world of immortality, and there were even fewer monks who were willing to buy spiritual pills for the monster beasts. So he set up a stall for a whole day, but few people cared about his "demon spirit pill". After seeing someone finally asking about the price, the young man's eyes lit up slightly, and then he politely said to Xu Qingfan: "Elixir of the same level. The kind that can increase spiritual energy or treat internal injuries."

Xu Qingfan nodded. Knowing that the price was fair, he exchanged a bottle of "Xuanling Pill" for increasing spiritual energy and a bottle of "Rejuvenation Pill" for treating internal injuries with the young man in exchange for these two bottles of "Demon Spirit Pill".

Looking at Xiao Hei on his shoulder with indifferent eyes. Staring straight at the two bottles of "Demon Spirit Pill" in Xu Qingfan's hand, he chuckled and said, "This is for you. It may be useful, but it won't work now."

With that said, Xu Qingfan continued to walk forward. Because he felt that the situation in the world of immortality was unpredictable at this time, Xu Qingfan also decided to exchange for some things in this market while looking for the old beggar. Although most of the magic weapons The elixirs were no longer suitable for Xu Qingfan to use, but Xu Qingfan still found something useful for him.

"Thunderbolt Pill" is said to be extremely powerful. If Xu Qingfan throws it with all his strength at this time, the power generated can instantly kill a monk comparable to Xu Qingfan, and even cause some damage to a monk at the Golden Pill stage. It's a pity that although it is extremely powerful, it can only be used once. But even so, if Xu Qingfan encounters any crisis in the future, this "Thunderbolt Pill" will be enough to save Xu Qingfan's life.

Although this "Thunderbolt Pill" that can only be used once cost Xu Qingfan 500 high-level spiritual stones, compared to the dangers he may encounter in the future, Xu Qingfan still feels that it is worth it.

In addition, Xu Qingfan searched the entire market, but could not find anything suitable for his use.

In fact, it cannot be said that there are no good things in this market, but if the magic weapons and elixirs suitable for Xu Qingfan's use are regarded as life-saving items by the monks at this moment, how can they be sold casually in the market?

While browsing and searching here, Xu Qingfan searched all over Fangshi. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw in a corner of Fangshi, a piece of shabby white cloth lying on the ground, with a simple saying on it. Two crazy big characters - "Refining Weapon", and nothing else.

And behind the white cloth, the man lying lazily on the ground, with a dirty head and shabby clothes, isn't he the old beggar Xu Qingfan is looking for?

Seeing the old beggar, Xu Qingfan felt happy and walked quickly towards the old beggar. At the same time, he raised his voice and said: "Old beggar, we meet again."

When he heard someone calling him, the old beggar slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xu Qingfan carefully, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, and asked: "I haven't seen you before, how can I say we have met again?" ?”

Hearing what the old beggar said, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel embarrassed. His feelings had no impression on him at all. He couldn't help but explain with a wry smile: "I asked you to help me refine magic weapons fifty years ago, have you forgotten?"

The old beggar curled his lips slightly and said lazily: "I have to refine magic weapons for a lot of people every year, and I don't have the memory to remember them all. Just tell me what magic weapons I have helped you refine. Bar."

The bitter smile on Xu Qingfan's face became thicker, but he still replied: "A green scale arm guard for defense, a blue scale arm guard for flying in the sky, and an evil-proof bead that can be used to see the five elements of ghosts and gods. Break the illusion of heaven and earth. ”

With that said, Xu Qingfan took out the evil-warming beads and handed them to the old beggar. This was also the only one that he kept among the three magic weapons that the old beggar had refined for him. The other two were given to Ting'er.

I saw the evil-proof bead in Xu Qingfan's hand. The old beggar's eyes immediately showed a look of surprise, and he said: "You are the boy who came to me to refine weapons with the materials from the Blue-Eyed Cloud Kicking Beast. Don't you think so, I know? Tell me, this time you Why are you here to see me again, let alone come to see me, old beggar, I don’t have that kind of popularity.”

Hearing the old beggar's words, Xu Qingfan felt dumbfounded. It seems that this old beggar is really a man who is crazy about refining weapons. Really recognize the weapon but not the person. But knowing that this old beggar had this kind of nature, the old beggar was not polite in his words. But Xu Qingfan didn't care, and just said with a smile: "I came here this time to get rid of you to help me refine weapons."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, the old beggar's eyes lit up. He immediately sat up, stared at Xu Qingfan, and said, "Have you brought any good materials? You also know my rules. I will never help without good materials." of."

Xu Qingfan said: "I don't have the materials in my hands this time. But I do have some magic weapons. I want you to help upgrade them."

There was a hint of disappointment in the old beggar's eyes, but he still said: "What kind of magic weapon is it? Take it out and let me see it."

Xu Qingfan nodded slightly, and after seeing that there was no one around, he took the "Rainbow Ruler", "Earth Mirror" given to him by Xiao Huazhe, and the "Five Spirit Bells" obtained from the secret vault on the second floor of Jiuhua one by one. out.

Who knew that when Xu Qingfan took out all these things, the old beggar immediately jumped up and exclaimed: "Rainbow ruler? Ground mirror?"

Then his face showed the anger of being humiliated, and he pointed his finger at Xu Qingfan and cursed: "Are you not satisfied with these two magic weapons? Do you still want me to upgrade such a magic weapon for you? What kind of magic weapon do you want to get? To be satisfied?”

Seeing that the old beggar's reaction was so strong, Xu Qingfan was also stunned, but he didn't know why he was so angry because he just asked the old beggar to upgrade his magic weapon.

When Xu Qingfan finally calmed down the old beggar, he found out the reason from the old beggar's mouth, and couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.

It turned out that a hundred years ago, the old beggar was hunted by his enemies, but when his life was about to be saved, he was saved by a monk named Xiao who was passing by. In order to repay the monk named Xiao for saving his life, the old beggar used the materials he had collected over the years to According to the requirements of the monk surnamed Xiao, two magical artifacts were refined, which were the "Rainbow Ruler" and the "Earth Mirror". Because these two magical artifacts gathered many precious materials and were made by the old beggar with all his strength, they were indeed the old beggar's. The beggar's proud work in his life, when he heard that Xu Qingfan was still unsatisfied and wanted to upgrade these two magic weapons, you can imagine the indignation in his heart.

After knowing this situation, Xu Qingfan smiled bitterly again. He didn't expect that things in the world would be such a coincidence. Xiao Huazhe turned out to be the old beggar's savior, and the two magic weapons given to him were actually made by the old beggar.

Xu Qingfan suddenly discovered that he had been prone to smiling bitterly since he first met the old beggar. But despite this, Xu Qingfan couldn't feel any dislike for the old beggar. Probably because he felt relaxed when he was with the old beggar, and he didn't have to spend any effort or figure out his intentions.

Then Xu Qingfan explained: "These two magic weapons are naturally exquisite. The rainbow ruler can be virtual or real when attacking, and can be transformed into seven. The rainbow light can be used to enchant your eyes. The ground mirror can detect the surrounding scene, and can also reflect your own Although the image and sound projections are only earth-level intermediate and earth-level magic weapons respectively, they are more precious than most high-level earth-level magic weapons."

Hearing what Xu Qingfan said, the old beggar's expression softened slightly.

But I heard Xu Qingfan continue to say: "It's just that although this rainbow ruler has many changes in its attack, it is not powerful enough after all. As for the earth mirror, I want to integrate the evil-proof beads into it to make up for its weakness of being deceived by illusions."

After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, the old beggar's expression changed again. Said: "I won't talk about your idea of ​​improving the earth mirror for now, but you still want to improve the power of the rainbow ruler? Do you know how to refine weapons? The power and changes of magic weapons are originally rare things. How can you do that? The best of both worlds?”

Xu Qingfan smiled slightly, suddenly took out the "Star Stone", handed it to the old beggar, and then asked: "What if I have this?"

Seeing the "Star Stone", a hint of fanaticism flashed in the old beggar's eyes. He stared at it non-stop, and after a long time he asked Xu Qingfan: "You have a star stone? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xu Qingfan smiled bitterly in his heart and could only admit that it was his fault.

Only then did the old beggar think about why the magic weapon he had refined for his benefactor appeared in the hands of Xu Qingfan. After Xu Qingfan told the old beggar about Xiao Huazhe. The old beggar also sighed slightly and remained silent for a while.

Suddenly, the old beggar found the "Five Spirits Bell" next to the "Rainbow Ruler" and the "Earth Mirror". His eyes lit up, and he took it in his hands to observe it carefully. After a long time, he sighed and said, "What a pity. This magic weapon itself brings together many rare materials. The person who refined this magic weapon is also ingenious. But for some reason, it failed in the end. It should have been a powerful magic weapon, but in the end it only became a high-level earth-level magic weapon. What a pity. But even so, its defense, as well as its ability to shock people's minds and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, are also quite remarkable."

Xu Qingfan admired him in his heart. He didn't expect the old beggar to see so much. Nodded and said, "But this magic weapon consumes a lot of spiritual energy every time it is used. I want to know if there is any way to improve it."

The old beggar suddenly threw the "Five Spirits Bell" back to Xu Qingfan's hand. Then he said calmly: "This magic weapon cannot be improved. Even with the star stone, it will not work. The moment it failed to be refined, it was already fixed."

Hearing the old beggar say this, Xu Qingfan also sighed slightly, feeling regretful.

But the old beggar suddenly stood up, put the "Rainbow Ruler", "Earth Mirror", and "Star Stone" into his sleeves, and then turned around and left without caring about the stall and Xu Qingfan.

Xu Qingfan knew that the old beggar was going to help him upgrade the magic weapon. Thinking of the boring and long wait when the old beggar refined the magic weapon for him, he felt moved and followed the old beggar to the outside of the market.

After a long time, the old beggar suddenly turned around and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Xu Qingfan smiled and said, "It's boring for me to wait like this, so I'll go to the senior's cave to see how the senior refines the weapon."

The old beggar nodded slightly and let Xu Qingfan follow him. After walking outside the market, he took Xu Qingfan to the south of the market and flew quickly.

At the same time, not far from the market, a purple-clothed man was standing quietly in the darkness. Around him, a group of cultivators of different appearances surrounded him and stood respectfully with their hands down.

"Has the identity of that cultivator been confirmed?" The purple-clothed man asked softly.

"It's confirmed. He is a casual cultivator. Even if he suddenly disappeared, no one would look for him in a big way. And he is good at refining weapons. I think as long as we catch him, we can not only get his soul and blood essence, but also a lot of magic weapon materials."

A cultivator answered respectfully.

The purple-clothed man nodded slightly and said slowly: "Then let's go."

As the purple-clothed man finished speaking, a group of cultivators flew out of the sky with their flying tools, but the purple-clothed man was not in a hurry. A purple cloud slowly rose under his feet, and then he leisurely followed behind the cultivators.
