Seeking Immortality

When one day, thousands of people suddenly bowed to you in unison, what would you feel? Proud? Overwhelmed? Or just indifferent?

At this moment, Xu Qingfan looked at these thousands of Qingxu monks bowing to him, but he didn't have any of the above emotions in his heart. Instead, he just sighed slightly in his heart, feeling regretful.

To be honest, Xu Qingfan likes the "Qingxu Sect" very much. If he hadn't been the deacon elder of Jiuhua Mountain, he would have wanted to find a way to become one of them.

Although this sect has this or that disadvantage, for example, the Qingxu sect members more or less like to boast about their sect, but compared with the advantages, it is nothing, especially the respect and piety for the way of heaven, which no sect can compare with, or "Ku Xiu Valley". But the Jiuhua Sect where Xu Qingfan is is far inferior.

This is a sect composed of knowledge and piety.

Even when Qing Lingzi was overthrown this time, it was because a group of Qingxu elders were deceived by Liu Ziqing and thought that Qing Lingzi was hiding something.

In Xu Qingfan's opinion, fighting should not happen in such a sect.

If a sect also has a character, then the tradition of this sect determines the character of this sect.

Looking at the moment when thousands of people bowed, Xu Qingfan really admired Qingxu Zhenren, who established the Qingxu lineage, for creating a tradition like "Qingxu preaching" and cultivating such devout disciples with such a tradition.

Unfortunately, Xu Qingfan knew that the peace of "Qingxu Sect" was about to be broken, because under his planning, the "Dead Spirit Pearl" would take effect tonight. The leaked dead air would begin to corrode the giant trees that trapped Zizhen Immortal, and eventually help Zizhen Immortal escape.

But even if Zizhen Immortal escaped, could he really successfully recover "Qingxu Sect"?

In Xu Qingfan's opinion, it was not necessarily the case.

First, Zizhen Immortal is in the stage of "three declines of heaven and man". When the masters of the Mahayana period start to integrate with the Heavenly Dao, they are rejected by the Heavenly Dao and their strength is suppressed. At that time, whether it is the consciousness, aura, or body, they will be greatly weakened. According to Liu Ziqing, Zizhen Immortal only has 30% of his strength in his heyday. Although such a Zizhen Immortal can still beat the combination of Xuan Lingzi and Huan Lingzi, it is not so easy.

Secondly, and most importantly. That is, Liu Ziqing is not so easy to deal with. Although he is no longer a Mahayana Grandmaster at this time, his wisdom can still play a very critical role. Even if Zizhen Immortal can really get out of trouble. If he is not extremely careful and plan more, he can only continue to be schemed by Liu Ziqing.

However, Xu Qingfan believes that if there is no big accident, as long as Zizhen Immortal gets out of trouble. The final victory is still him, because in most confrontations, between absolute wisdom and absolute strength, strength still wins. Although Zizhen Immortal only has 30% of his strength, he is still not comparable to Liu Ziqing, not to mention that Zizhen Immortal has already grasped his plan and has the support of Bai Lingzi and others.

But Xu Qingfan also believes that even if Zizhen Immortal can regain control of "Qingxu Sect". He will inevitably have a fierce battle with Liu Ziqing and his supporters.

In this fierce battle, there may be Qingxu elders who fall. But the biggest damage is still the ordinary disciples of Qingxu who are bowing in front of Xu Qingfan. After the fierce battle, "Qingxu Sect" will become the fourth sect with great damage in the six holy places after "Jiuhua Mountain", "Kushu Valley", and "* Palace" which has lost its holy place status.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan could only sigh silently, but he was helpless. This is not something he can control.

Just as Xu Qingfan was sighing silently, he saw Xuan Lingzi and Huan Lingzi walking towards him with a group of Qingxu elders. Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned and hurried to meet them.

"Fellow Daoist Xu's sermon was really wonderful. Many of the ideas were beyond our imagination. We benefited a lot from it. I would like to thank you on behalf of Qingxu Sect."

To Xu Qingfan's surprise, when Xuan Lingzi and Huan Lingzi came to him with a group of elders, it was Huan Lingzi who first expressed his gratitude and admiration. Thinking of the disdain in Huan Lingzi's eyes before the sermon, and looking at the sincerity in Huan Lingzi's eyes at this time, Xu Qingfan knew that what Huan Lingzi said was from the bottom of his heart, without any falsehood, and he hurriedly bowed to Huan Lingzi in return, saying that he dared not.

Xuan Lingzi beside him smiled and said, "Huan Lingzi's words are not false at all. Your sermon just now really explained the direction of our cultivation purpose, which is much more exciting than our previous sermons in Qingxu Daochang. It makes us ashamed."

Xu Qingfan shook his head and said, "This understanding is also something I realized by chance. Due to my low level of skill, it is very shallow and there may be loopholes in it. Please don't laugh at me, seniors. In the future, when you seniors realize more things, maybe I will ask you seniors to teach me."

Hearing what Xu Qingfan said, everyone on the scene smiled slightly.

Then, Xu Qingfan started talking with the other Qingxu elders. The contents were all about the "Ku Rong's way of checking and balancing life and death" that Xu Qingfan just talked about. Just as Xu Qingfan just said, the Qingxu elders in front of him had great experience The realm is much higher than that of Xu Qingfan. At this time, they all pointed out the shortcomings of Xu Qingfan's theory to Xu Qingfan, but Xu Qingfan also benefited a lot. And within a short period of time, he actually got to know many senior experts from the "Qingxu Sect".

During this period, Xu Qingfan also met Bai Lingzi, one of the Qingxu monks who had been supporting Immortal Zizhen and Qing Lingzi, but he was a skinny old man. Although his appearance was unattractive, he had a calm look in his eyes.

After Xuan Lingzi spoke, Huan Lingzi's face became embarrassed, but Xuan Lingzi kept looking at him. Although Xu Qingfan was talking with a group of Qingxu elders, he also noticed something unusual about the two of them. When I was secretly wondering. However, Huan Lingzi suddenly gritted his teeth and bowed deeply to Xu Qingfan again, which shocked Xu Qingfan.

"Senior, why is this?" Xu Qingfan hurriedly helped Huan Lingzi up with his hands and asked.

But I heard Huan Lingzi say: "Before, I had a lot of contempt for fellow Taoist Xu just because he was a monk in the middle stage of Xudan. He even said that fellow Taoist Xu was not worthy of preaching in Qingxu. But now it seems that I was wrong." Sorry. I bowed before to thank fellow Taoist for his sermon, but this time I wanted to apologize.

Xu Qingfan thought to himself: "Although this Huan Lingzi is far inferior to Xuan Lingzi in demeanor, he is still a sincere person."

After finally dealing with the courtesy of all the Qingxu elders, Xu Qingfan flew back to his own house accompanied by Xuan Lingzi, Huan Lingzi, Liu Ziqing, and Mo Ziliang. The time is much bigger.

"It has been three days since fellow Taoist Xu came to Qingxu, but he has not yet taken a look at the scenery of my Ronghua Mountain. In the next few days, how about I ask several elders to take turns accompanying fellow Taoist to see my Ronghua Mountain?" Xuan Lingzi Standing on the same auspicious cloud as Xu Qingfan, he smiled at Xu Qingfan and said.

"Yes, although I can't say that the scenery of Ronghua Mountain is the best in the world. But I believe that after my Qingxu Sect has modified it over the years, I can definitely guarantee that it is rare in the world." Huan Lingzi on the other side also laughed. He said, although his appearance is not as fairy-like as Xuan Lingzi's, his eyes are also sincere.

Before. Because Xu Qingfan was suspected of coming to spy on Qing Lingzi, although Xuan Lingzi invited Xu Qingfan to the "Qingxu Sect", he did not arrange for Xu Qingfan to browse the scenery, and even sent someone to secretly monitor him. But at this time, with Liu Ziqing's reluctant help, Xu Qingfan's suspicions had been cleared, and the sermon just now had won the respect of all the Qingxu monks, so this invitation was natural.

After hearing the invitation from Xuan Lingzi and the others, Xu Qingfan's heart moved slightly. He really yearned for the scenery of "Ronghua Mountain", and Xu Qingfan also knew that chaos would occur in "Qingxu Sect" soon. At that time, many scenic spots will disappear.

But I thought about the "dead spirit beads" that would take effect tonight. Xu Qingfan still resisted the impulse in his heart and said to Xuan Lingzi and Huan Lingzi: "Thank you two seniors for your kindness. But I will leave today."

"What? Are you leaving tonight?" Mo Ziliang, who was next to him, suddenly interrupted and asked.

"Don't you, Fellow Daoist Xu, stay a few more days? Anyway, Fellow Daoist Xu, you are only going down the mountain for a tour this time. There is nothing urgent. Wouldn't it be better to stay a few more days to talk to us?" But it was Liu Ziqing who suddenly asked. Ever since Xuan Lingzi and Huan Lingzi appeared, Liu Ziqing had been deliberately keeping a low profile. After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, he couldn't help but ask first.

Xu Qingfan smiled and said: "Seniors, I'm really sorry. The juniors also want to stay in Ronghua Mountain for a few more days. However, I have made an appointment with Xuhanzun of Qinghanmen before, and I will visit Qinghanmen in three days. However, It’s not good to break your promise, seniors, please forgive me. However, if I pass by Ronghua Mountain again in the future, I will definitely bother you again.”

Xu Qingfan did not lie in these words. He had indeed made such an agreement with the Xu Hanzun as a way out.

Hearing what Xu Qingfan said, the other four people sighed with regret.

After that, Xu Qingfan returned to the house, talked with the four people for a while, and then said goodbye to everyone.

Although Liu Ziqing still doubted Xu Qingfan's purpose of coming to "Qingxu Sect" this time, and regarded Xu Qingfan as Zhang Xusheng's subordinate, he originally wanted to find out something from Xu Qingfan's mouth, but at this time both Xuan Lingzi and Huan Lingzi both Having agreed to Xu Qingfan's departure, and considering Xu Qingfan's own wishes, he could not say anything more.

After Xuan Lingzi and others sent Xu Qingfan outside the "Ronghua Mountain" mountain guarding formation, Xu Qingfan was just about to say goodbye and leave when he saw Xuan Lingzi suddenly take out two items from his sleeves and hand them to Xu Qingfan with both hands. .

After Xu Qingfan opened his hands, he saw a fist-sized bead glowing with white light, and a token with the word "Jiuhua" engraved on it.

"Senior, what are these two things?" Xu Qingfan asked.

Xuan Lingzi smiled and said: "This white spirit bead is called the Dingshen Bead. It is a low-level magic weapon of the earth level. It can be used to dispel most of the magic spells in the world. And this token is called Qingxu Order, as long as you hold this Qingxu Order in the future, you can prove your identity and ask the Jiuhua disciples you met outside the mountain to help you do what they can. Of course, if you Taoist friends come to my glory in the future, Shan, you can also use this token to notify us, I will wait for you to form a formation to welcome you."

Hearing Xuan Lingzi's words, Xu Qingfan was slightly startled, and hurriedly handed the things in his hand back to Xuan Lingzi, saying: "Senior, these things are too valuable..."

But before Xu Qingfan finished speaking, Huan Lingzi next to him interrupted and said: "Xu Daoyou, you can't postpone this time. This has been the rule of my Qingxu for thousands of years. Every senior who comes to my Qingxu to preach will have a gift to thank him."

Hearing Huan Lingzi's words, Xu Qingfan no longer refused, silently put the "Soul-Setting Pearl" and "Qingxu Order" into his sleeves, and then said to the four people in front of him: "Four seniors, take care."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's farewell in this worldly way, Xuan Lingzi and the other two did not know that Xu Qingfan had other meanings in his words, and thought that Xu Qingfan had little contact with cultivators. And Liu Ziqing just thought that Xu Qingfan was deliberately so contrived, but he didn't care. But no matter what the four people's mentality was, they did not expose it, and smiled at Xu Qingfan: "Fellow Daoist Xu, take care."

Xu Qingfan sighed slightly in his heart, turned around and flew away quickly on the cloud.

Half a day later, Xu Qingfan came to the location of the "Qinghan Gate" that Xu Hanzun had told him. Looking at the white mist formed by the mountain protection formation, Xu Qingfan said loudly: "I am Xu Qingfan, a casual cultivator from the Southern Wasteland, and I want to see Xu Hanzun."
