Seeking Immortality

It has been about a month since Feng Qingtian fled Jiuhua Mountain and a group of elders were poisoned and nearly died. Jiuhua Mountain has also returned to its former tranquility from the previous panic.

The focus of cultivating immortals is on the exploration of longevity, but people and past events are always not taken seriously.

Only Jin Qinghan, who has always regarded Feng Qingtian as his enemy in life, felt a sense of loss in the face of Feng Qingtian's betrayal. He has always regarded defeating Feng Qingtian as his life goal, but suddenly one day Feng Qingtian was not around. Without comparison, Jin Qinghan was very uncomfortable.

Although Feng Qingtian is arrogant and difficult to get along with, as the top master of the younger generation of Jiuhua, he still has a very high reputation among the younger generation of disciples in Jiuhua.

But unexpectedly, in the face of Feng Qingtian's betrayal of Jiuhua, the younger generation of cultivators in Jiuhua did not feel sorry for Feng Qingtian. Instead, Duo Youwei was angry that Feng Qingtian was not captured and brought back to Jiuhua Mountain.

Among all the Jiuhua disciples, they all thought that Feng Qingtian defected because he had severely injured Xu Qingfan in the previous competition and was forced to leave by Xu Qingfan. Xu Qingfan was originally worried that he would be rejected by all the Jiuhua disciples because of this unexplainable thing, but in fact, all the Jiuhua disciples and the new generation of elders had a better attitude towards Xu Qingfan, and Xu Qingfan's reputation in Jiuhua Mountain was also rising.

The reason for this is that Xu Qingfan ignored that although Feng Qingtian had a high reputation among the younger generation of disciples, his reputation in Jiuhua Mountain was even higher. When the two conflicted. Whether it was the Jiuhua disciples or the new generation of elders, they would unconsciously favor Xu Qingfan.

Secondly, the world of cultivating immortals is ultimately a world that respects strength. The reason why Feng Qingtian is so difficult to get along with and has such a high reputation in Jiuhua is because he is the top master of the younger generation of Jiuhua. But Feng Qingtian competed with Xu Qingfan, and although he finally defeated Xu Qingfan, he was also seriously injured. ^^^^It can only be regarded as a tragic victory, but Xu Qingfan broke through in the duel and reached the Real Pill Stage. If the two were to compete again, it would be hard to say who would win or lose, but Xu Qingfan inadvertently replaced Feng Qingtian.

Moreover, Xu Qingfan's aptitude was ordinary, and it was even more admirable that he could achieve such an achievement, and it could also resonate with a group of cultivators with not so good aptitude.

The most important thing is. A group of elders of the younger generation all thought that the tunnel was built by the Feng family, and the elders who were poisoned and almost died before were mostly elders of the younger generation. But they also blamed Feng Qingtian for the poisoning. Compared with Xu Qingfan, who saved everyone's life in a critical moment, although they didn't know the whole story, everyone was unintuitively biased towards Xu Qingfan.

In this way, although Xu Qingfan has been in seclusion for many years and has not even known the names of some new elders, a group of young elders and young disciples have consciously taken Xu Qingfan as their leader. The young generation of forces with Xu Qingfan as their leader has become more cohesive. ^^^^On the contrary, although the Supreme Protector Gongsun Huasuo has been in Jiuhua Mountain for many years, his orders are getting less and less effective. Not only the young generation of elders, but even the old generation of elders often refuse his dispatch in the name of seclusion, so that Gongsun Huasuo has to ask Li Yuhan for help if he wants to do anything in Jiuhua Mountain, which is equivalent to indirectly asking Xu Qingfan for help. The annoyance in his heart is increasing day by day. He looks at everyone with gloomy eyes.

In this month, Xu Qingfan, in addition to occasionally meditating to stabilize the newly broken realm, carefully taught the three disciples to cultivate immortals. Whether it is Zhang Ningmei, Baiyu, or Ting'er, they are very competitive and progress very fast.

Although Zhang Ningmei's talent for cultivating immortals is still unknown, her talent in the use of spiritual consciousness is hard to come by in a century. Xu Qingfan only taught her the method of condensing spiritual consciousness for seven or eight months, and Zhang Ningmei has already condensed her spiritual consciousness initially. Xu Qingfan estimated that in less than a year, Zhang Ningmei's spiritual consciousness can be condensed to the point where the consumption is balanced with the energy of the body, and then Zhang Ningmei can officially cultivate immortals^^Xu Qingfan is full of expectations for Zhang Ningmei's future.

In comparison, Bai Yu, who has excellent qualifications, is progressing more slowly. Although he has already sensed the powerful and wild and violent energy contained in his blood, he still has a long way to go before he can use it skillfully. Of course, this is also related to Bai Yu's lack of targeted cultivation methods.

In comparison, Xu Qingfan is most worried about Ting'er, who has the fastest progress and is only a hair's breadth away from the state of forming a pill. Since being transformed by the magic bead, Ting'er's body has been very strange, and cultivating immortals is an unprecedented path. The physique of a demon cultivator, but the method of cultivating immortals. Once he breaks through to the stage of forming a pill, what kind of changes will happen, but Xu Qingfan can't imagine it.

This is also the reason why Xu Qingfan has not been in seclusion for hard work even though he has set five major goals for himself, because he can only feel relieved if he sees Ting'er successfully forming a pill with his own eyes.

In addition, during this month, Xu Qingfan always thinks of the scene when Zhang Hualing's eyes were bloodshot and full of killing. At this time, there is always a slight chill in his heart.

"It seems that I must find an opportunity to confront Zhang Hualing."

Xu Qingfan looked at a place in the front mountain of Jiuhua, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, thinking secretly.

Late at night that day, a light suddenly flashed in the dark Jiuhua secret library.

Then, a figure walked out quietly into the depths of the secret library, but turned a blind eye to the various rare treasures on the shelves in the secret library.

A moment later, the figure came to a piece of strange equipment and materials, which were the same equipment and materials that Zhang Xusheng had left behind to study evil arts before he defected to Jiuhua that had been seen in the tunnel. After observing it for a long time, he sighed slightly.

At the same time, there was another sigh, but it sounded slowly in a corner not far from this figure.

"Uncle Master Master. You couldn't help but come. That day I saw the blood in your eyes. I knew that you had ulterior motives for letting people bring these things left by Zhang Xusheng back to Jiuhua Mountain. Sure enough, that was the case. . Uncle Master, a mistake has been made, you can’t make another mistake again.”

The voice was full of sighs and regrets.

Hearing these words, the figure froze slightly, then slowly turned around and looked towards the place where the sound came from. Looking at his face, it was none other than the contemporary head of Jiuhua - Zhang Hualing! !

Following Zhang Hualing's gaze. ^^^^In the corner where the voice sounded, a figure slowly appeared. It was Xu Qingfan, but he didn't know how long he had been hiding here.

Seeing Xu Qingfan's sudden appearance, Zhang Hualing was surprised, but not panicked. There was even a faint look of anticipation in his eyes.

After looking at Xu Qingfan carefully, Zhang Hualing smiled slightly and asked: "How long have you been waiting here? You won't just wait here after I move these things here, right?"

Xu Qingfan shook his head slightly and said calmly: "I'm not that stupid. I also know that you are not that impatient. I guess everyone has gradually forgotten about these utensils and materials recently, and your patience is probably not that good." I’m hiding here waiting for you when I reach my limit. I’m pretty lucky. It’s only the second day.”

Zhang Hualing showed admiration in his eyes, nodded slightly, but asked with interest: "Then how did you hide my consciousness and hide it here without me noticing? You are only in the early stage of the real elixir. It’s just cultivation.”

Xu Qingfan took out a thin tent and said softly: "There are two magic weapons in the Jiuhua Secret Treasury that can hide the body and breath of cultivators. One is called the Escape Tent and the other is called the Nine Fantasy Umbrella. I will use the Escape Tent among them. Borrowed it."

Zhang Hualing nodded slightly, and then as if nothing had happened, he turned around and continued to observe the utensils. In the end, his eyes were fixed on an ancient-looking cup made of unknown materials and engraved with blood patterns. Showing a thoughtful look. I have to reach out and get this ancient cup.

Xu Qingfan raised his eyebrows. But he suddenly dodged to Zhang Hualing's side and stood between Zhang Hualing and the utensils. Stopped Zhang Hualing's movement.

"Master Master, please let go before your mind has been completely affected by these evil spells."

Xu Qingfan stared closely at Zhang Hualing's eyes in front of him, as if trying to find the bloody glow that had appeared in them. But Zhang Hualing's eyes were as clear as most of the time.

Zhang Hualing slowly retracted his outstretched hand and asked softly: "So, you already know everything?" Xu Qingfan nodded and said in a solemn voice: "I got the thing left by Master Liu before." When I saw the green slip that recorded the secret method studied by Zhang Xusheng, I already felt that something was wrong. The green slip had obviously been tampered with, and besides me, the only one who knew what the green slip recorded was you, the leader. Originally, I thought that although you, the leader, were practicing those evil practices, they did not affect your mind, so even though I was worried, I did not stop you. Hidden somewhere in your heart, it may completely change your character at any time, so I can no longer sit idly by. ^^

Zhang Hualing sighed slightly and said calmly: "Indeed, I did secretly study the contents of that Fang Qing slip back then, and now I have indeed been unknowingly changed by that secret method."

After a pause, Zhang Hualing said: "Because of this, I have to continue to study these secret techniques before my character is completely changed by the secret techniques. Only in this way can I find a way to restrain myself and prevent my character from being completely changed by those grievances." ”

When Xu Qingfan heard what Zhang Hualing said, he frowned slightly. He was about to say something more, but Zhang Hualing tried to stop him. Zhang Hualing said, "Do you know? Because I overdrafted my lifespan to use the Dai Tian Jue. In fact, I He should have died thirty years ago."

"But after Jiuhua has gone through a catastrophe and the catastrophe in the world of immortality has risen again, can I die? What will Jiuhua do after I die? To be honest, both Senior Brother Liu and I have the intention to establish you as Jiuhua's next successor. Master, it’s a pity that the time left for you is too short. You are now far from the master in terms of qualifications and character. Because of this, I can only hold on until you fully mature. ”

"But my longevity has been exhausted. What should I do? I can only secretly learn those secret techniques to replenish my life. Although I know that these secret techniques will affect my character, I can't do anything about it. I think the reason why Senior Brother Liu didn't do anything to me back then Let me make my own decision about concealing the secret method.”

Xu Qingfan listened to Zhang Hualing's words silently, feeling the deep exhaustion in his heart. After a long time, he said: "But you must also know that these secret techniques are too dangerous and it is difficult for you to restrain them. Although you are still awake now, Maybe one day you will no longer be able to control the evil in your heart, and once your character is changed, the impact will be disastrous for both you and Jiuhua."

After hearing Xu Qingfan's concerns, Zhang Hualing smiled again, his smile was indifferent but firm, and he slowly said: "By then, I think I can still fight the evil in my heart for a while, and you can kill me at that time."

After that, Zhang Hualing reached out again, picked up the ancient cup he had noticed before, put it back into his sleeve, and then turned around and left silently. Xu Qingfan did not stop him this time, but just looked at Zhang Hualing's back silently, with a complicated look in his eyes.

When Xu Qingfan also left behind Zhang Hualing, a figure suddenly appeared in a corner not far from the two of them. It was Jiuhua's Supreme Protector Gongsun Huasuo, holding an umbrella-shaped magic weapon in his hand, which was Jiuhua's other magic weapon that concealed his figure - "Nine Illusion Umbrella". He showed a thoughtful look in his eyes, and after a long time, he sneered and quickly left.
