Seeking Immortality

After escaping from the rocks, Xu Qingfan was delighted to see Jin Qinghan standing several feet away and nothing happened. However, he could not help but worry when he saw that only Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong were left in the team. When he saw the look in everyone's eyes, he was surprised and stunned. He didn't know why everyone was so angry.

Suddenly, Xu Qingfan seemed to think of something and touched his cheek, but found that his skin was still tight and there was no sign of aging. It should not be that his skin became old in seconds after the balance of life and death in his body was destroyed.

But why did everyone look at him so strangely? In order to confirm, under the control of Xu Qingfan's mind, his clone Xu Zhiyuan suddenly flashed in front of Xu Qingfan. With his hands, a water curtain suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qingfan. The water curtain flowed smoothly and was very clear, like a mirror, reflecting Xu Qingfan's eyes.

Through the water curtain, Xu Qingfan found that although his appearance had not changed much and his skin was still tight, he looked much older. After he succeeded in cultivating immortality, Xu Qingfan's appearance had always remained like a young man in his twenties, but now he looked like he was in his thirties, giving people a sense of vicissitudes.

If it was just like this, it would be fine, but at some point, Xu Qingfan's temples turned completely gray, making Xu Qingfan's appearance even more vicissitudes, as if he had experienced countless storms.

Seeing this image, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he didn't expect that after the balance of life and death in his body was destroyed, his appearance would become like this.

While smiling bitterly, Xu Qingfan's reflection in the water curtain in front of him also smiled bitterly, but crow's feet were faintly visible at the corners of his eyes.

Shaking his head, he directed Xu Zhiyuan to remove the water curtain, although he was helpless. But Xu Qingfan actually didn't care about his appearance becoming old. In fact, Xu Qingfan has been cultivating for more than a hundred years. Sometimes he feels very strange when he sees his still young face and eyes that are obviously inconsistent with his face.

This face may be a good thing, at least this face that has become vicissitudes. It is easier to convince people than the face of a young man. In some ways, it may be beneficial for Xu Qingfan to take charge of Jiuhua in the future.

After the water curtain was removed, Xu Qingfan no longer thought about it. He looked around and saw Zhang Yi. He was slightly stunned. He felt a sense of familiarity, but he forgot where he had seen him, but nodded.

Zhang Yi snorted coldly. But he ignored it and didn't say anything. He just stared at Xu Qingfan coldly. She didn't expect Jin Qinghan to break through to the Jindan stage here, and she didn't expect Xu Qingfan to break through soon. She couldn't threaten Xu Qingfan with her own strength, but she didn't leave. I don't know what she was thinking.

Attitude towards Zhang Yi. Xu Qingfan felt a little strange, but there were more important things waiting for him to deal with at this time, so he did not ask.

After nodding to Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong, Xu Qingfan walked towards Jin Qinghan. He first looked at Jin Qinghan, and then patted Jin Qinghan on the shoulder.

Jin Qinghan's expression was still cold, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Junior Brother Jin, what is the situation now? What about the other team members? When will you break through to the Jindan stage?"

Hearing Xu Qingfan's question, Jin Qinghan told Xu Qingfan about the situation he encountered when he left the mountain. During the period, the battle with Feng Qingtian was just a passing mention. But Xu Qingfan knew from Jin Qinghan's fleeting dim eyes that in this battle, Jin Qinghan was undoubtedly defeated again.

Hearing that Jin Qinghan had rescued the members of the two teams from the valley, although the two teams suffered heavy losses, Xu Qingfan cared about and valued people except Sheng Yushan. But they were all safe and sound. They were sad about the heavy losses of the two teams and the death of Sheng Yushan. But they were also relieved.

Xu Qingfan also told Jin Qinghan, Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong about what happened in the belly of the mountain. In front of Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong, Xu Qingfan naturally concealed the fact that he had been infected by the "Beast Crazy Energy". As everyone told the story, the whole incident finally became complete in everyone's mind.

Looking back on the whole incident, whether it was the lurking of "Ri" and Feng Qingtian, or the sneak attacks of countless "Beast Crazy Monks", it was a fatal move for everyone. If "Ri"'s plan was successfully completed, if Zhang Yi didn't come to disrupt the situation, then everyone would have been wiped out. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

After knowing that Feng Qingtian was defeated by everyone, Xu Qingfan's heart moved slightly and asked: "Junior Brother Jin, what is Feng... Feng Qingtian's cultivation level now?"

Originally, Xu Qingfan was still planning to call Feng Qingtian "senior brother" according to habit, but suddenly remembered that Feng Qingtian had already betrayed Jiuhua and was in a situation of life and death with himself and others, so he changed his mouth and called him by his name.

The gloom in Jin Qinghan's eyes became even more, and he said slowly: "Unfathomable, he didn't use his full strength when fighting with me." As he said that, Jin Qinghan showed humiliation on his face. After a pause, he continued: "At least he has reached the Jindan stage, but he is definitely much stronger than you and me at this time. I don't know how Feng Qingtian was able to recover so quickly after receiving your "Life and Death Secret" before, and how he made such a rapid progress in cultivation."

Xu Qingfan's eyes were filled with more sadness. He shook his head slightly and said, "Feng Qingtian has joined the Underworld Organization because it is beneficial to him. I think it was the mysterious Underworld Organization that helped him recover from his injuries and improve his cultivation."

Hearing what Xu Qingfan said, Jin Qinghan's eyes also flashed with sadness. As the biggest rival in his life, Jin Qinghan did not want Feng Qingtian to get involved with the Underworld Organization.

Jin Qinghan was silent for a moment, but then asked: "Brother Xu, you reminded me to stay calm when fighting with Feng Qingtian. Was it because you knew that Feng Qingtian was hiding in this valley?"

Xu Qingfan nodded and said: "I can faintly sense the breath of Feng Qingtian, but I can't be sure. After joining the Hades Organization, Feng Qingtian's breath has changed greatly. It was originally just hot, like a flaming phoenix, but now it is hot and cold. Obviously, after joining the Hades Organization, he has practiced some evil techniques."

"I just hope that this evil technique will not be to sacrifice others to seize the essence of the world's creatures." While speaking, Xu Qingfan thought secretly in his heart.

Jin Qinghan nodded to show his understanding. If Xu Qingfan told him this news early, he would not dare to guarantee that he could stay calm.

After a slight hesitation, Jin Qinghan glanced at Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xirong who were standing beside him, and then asked in a voice transmission: "Senior Brother Xu, how is the beast madness now? Does it have any effect on you?"

Xu Qingfan's eyes also flashed with a trace of worry, and he replied: "Don't worry, the beast madness energy that invaded my body has been completely suppressed by me, and it will not be a big deal. And I can break through to the Golden Core Stage this time, and it is all thanks to the transformation of my body by the beast madness energy this time."

It turned out that after Xu Qingfan's way was blocked by the rocks and decided to meditate to expel the beast madness energy in his body, he began to concentrate on performing "Life and Death Reincarnation" and began to suppress the "beast madness energy" in his body. At the beginning, the situation was very good, although the progress was slow. He also had to take into account the repair of various injuries in his body, but the "beast madness energy" was still slowly suppressed to the source.

But then, the situation changed.

When Xu Qingfan's "Life and Death Reincarnation" suppressed all the energy to the ankle wound. However, he found that although the huge "beast mad energy" was suppressed to the extreme, it could not be expelled at all, as if it had taken root in the body.

It should be that the "sun" suddenly interrupted the first time to expel the "beast mad energy". After repeated attempts, the "beast mad energy" began to have time to gradually merge with Xu Qingfan's body, and at the ankle wound. The "beast mad energy" lingered the longest, and had completely merged with that part of Xu Qingfan's body, and they could no longer be distinguished from each other.

Unless Xu Qingfan's entire right foot was cut off, this "beast mad energy" could not be expelled from the body at all.

Xu Qingfan had no choice but to use the "life and death cycle" technique to completely seal the "beast mad energy" at his ankle. At this time, there was a Tai Chi Bagua pattern composed of black and white on Xu Qingfan's ankle, which was completely sealed by the "life and death cycle".

But Xu Qingfan also knew that this would definitely not be a good idea. The "Beast Crazy Energy" contained in the ankle is so dense, and it absorbs the energy in Xu Qingfan's body and slowly grows. No one knows what changes will happen in the long run, but it is a major hidden danger.

But at this time, it is the only way to deal with it.

But just when Xu Qingfan was about to end this meditation, his mind suddenly fell into a state of emptiness. The little spiritual energy in his body suddenly grew rapidly. In his mind, many problems that he didn't understand before suddenly became clear.

Xu Qingfan's cultivation had already reached the peak of the solid pill stage. After various transformations of the "Beast Crazy Energy" before, Xu Qingfan's vitality was greatly prosperous, and the meridians in his body became thicker and more stable. After understanding his psychological flaws, his realm was also more stable, and the time for a realm breakthrough was ripe.

After a series of encounters with the "Beast Crazy Energy", Xu Qingfan finally began to break through the realm.

When his realm began to break through, Xu Qingfan entered the state of unity between man and nature. He could clearly sense every movement of the grass within a radius of dozens of miles, and could clearly sense that Jin Qinghan and others were trying to open up the cave to rescue him. He could also clearly sense that in a corner of the collapsed mountain, Xiao Hei was absorbing the death energy in the emerald green skull to heal himself. Even though the blood-colored rocks had the magical effect of blocking the breath, they could not block Xu Qingfan's divine thoughts at all.

Because of this, after Xu Qingfan broke through his realm, he directly used his strength to smash the rocks in front of him, instead of slowly opening up the mountain road, because he knew that there was already a blank space on the other side of the rocks. And after he appeared, he was not surprised to see Jin Qinghan and others.

However, this realm breakthrough was so sudden. Xu Qingfan originally planned to rely on the three "Ascension Pills" to help him and Jin Qinghan break through the realm. He took two and Jin Qinghan took one. However, he did not expect that before taking the "Ascension Pills", he and Jin Qinghan had already broken through to the Golden Core Stage.

After reaching the Golden Core Stage, the help of the "Ascension Pills" was minimal, and it was useless to Xu Qingfan, but he did not know what to do with it.

Or. In this chaotic world, his three disciples. Shouldn't they also improve their strength?

After hearing Xu Qingfan's account of what happened before and after, Jin Qinghan finally felt relieved. Although the suppressed and sealed "beast madness energy" is still a hidden danger, Xu Qingfan at least has "life and death reincarnation" to contend with it, and it will not cause a disaster in a short time.

Seeing that Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan had finished communicating, Dongfang Qingling had been looking at Xu Qingfan, with emotions in her eyes that no one could understand. But at this time, she finally spoke and told Xu Qingfan about Zhang Yi's affairs and the countless monsters she encountered some time ago.

When Xu Qingfan heard about Zhang Yi's affairs, he was even more confused, but he didn't know what this vaguely familiar person wanted from him. It seemed that he had not snatched anything from this person, otherwise, Xu Qingfan would definitely remember it, after all, he rarely snatched other people's things since he cultivated immortality.

And when Xu Qingfan heard Dongfang Qingling's words that countless monsters had passed by here. His face became solemn.

It was only then that Jin Qinghan began to think about the monsters that had appeared before. When he heard Dongfang Qingling's words and analysis, his face became heavy.

"Li Yuhan and others left from the direction where the monsters attacked, but I don't know if they encountered those monsters. If they really ran into them head-on, then they finally escaped from this valley, but it would be dangerous."

Jin Qinghan said worriedly.

Xu Qingfan shook his head and said slowly: "Li Yuhan has always been good at organizing and responding. As long as he finds those monsters first, he will definitely have a way to deal with them. What's more, according to what Junior Sister Dongfang said, those monsters are very organized in their actions. When they encounter other people, they just split into small teams to strangle them. With Li Yuhan's wit, the danger is not as great as we imagined."

Speaking. Xu Qingfan paused. There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, and then he said: "Compared to these. What I am more concerned about is that these monsters may have exhausted all the monsters in the south of the Southern Wilderness, and even the heavenly monsters that only appear in legends have appeared. What is their purpose in coming to the prosperous Middle Earth? What impact will it have on this catastrophe?"

After thinking silently for a moment, Xu Qingfan finally said: "In any case, we will go back to Ronghua Mountain now and wait for the arrangements of the heads of the sects. The current situation is no longer something that we can change with our power. I am afraid that the masters will need to come forward."

Then, Xu Qingfan told Jin Qinghan the location where Xiao Hei was buried, and asked Jin Qinghan to dig Xiao Hei out from the shortest and closest route. At this time, Xiao Hei had already begun to use death energy to corrode the rocks. Under the powerful corrosive power of death energy, the speed was several times faster than when Jin Qinghan dug the cave. The two combined forces should not take long.

After watching Jin Qinghan take the order and leave, Xu Qingfan, accompanied by Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong, slowly walked towards Zhang Yi.

At this time, Zhang Yi was still standing not far away. When Xu Qingfan was talking to Jin Qinghan and Dongfang Qingling, her eyes never left Xu Qingfan. She just kept looking at him silently, without the slightest hint of reserve that a woman should have, which made Xu Qingfan feel uncomfortable.

"Excuse me, who are you? Have we met before? I don't know why you are looking for me?"

After Xu Qingfan walked in front of Zhang Yi, he asked politely. Although Zhang Yi had captured Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong before and seemed to have ill intentions towards him, she saved Jin Qinghan's life and helped Xu Qingfan. Otherwise, when Feng Qingtian joined "Sun", Xu Qingfan would have died. When the beasts attacked, she saved Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong. It can be said that everyone on the field owed her a favor, so Xu Qingfan couldn't have any bad feelings towards Zhang Yi at this time.

In response to Xu Qingfan's question, Zhang Yi only answered coldly with five words.

"Against the Sky Sword, Zhang Yi."

After hearing Zhang Yi's answer, Xu Qingfan finally remembered who the masked woman with a pair of beautiful eyes was.

It turned out to be Zhang Yi who had chased him for several months and almost killed him! !

And Zhang Yi was looking for him for the peerless magic weapon Against the Sky Sword.

In fact, Xu Qingfan didn't remember who Zhang Yi was at the beginning, but he couldn't blame Xu Qingfan for his bad memory. After all, it had been decades since that incident, and too many things had happened in between. What's more, when Xu Qingfan saw Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi was wearing a veil and couldn't see his face. Xu Qingfan was just trying to escape at that time, so how could he remember Zhang Yi's image? So not long after, Zhang Yi in Xu Qingfan's mind became an ordinary "Ming" organization walker.

And Zhang Yi was wearing a green dress at this time, but he couldn't recognize him.

In addition to being surprised that the person in front of him was Zhang Yi, Xu Qingfan was even more surprised that Zhang Yi knew that the sword against the sky was in his hand. You know, Xu Qingfan did this as Xu Fan at that time. And the fact that Xu Qingfan was Xu Fan was only circulated among the top leaders of the Righteous Alliance and some people in Jiuhuamen, and Zhang Yi should not know it.

After a brief moment of surprise, Xu Qingfan immediately returned to normal and asked, "I wonder why you need this sword?" After a pause, Xu Qingfan glanced at Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong beside him, hesitated for a moment, and asked again, "Also, how did you know that I got the sword?"

The meaning of this sentence is to ask Zhang Yi how he knew that Xu Qingfan was Xu Fan, while Dongfang Qingling and Xu Xiurong were surprised that Xu Qingfan actually had the peerless magic weapon "Heaven Defying Sword" in his hands, and they did not have much questions about Xu Qingfan's second question. think.

Of course, many Jiuhua sect members, including Dongfang Qingling, had actually vaguely guessed that Xu Qingfan was Xu Fan.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's question, Zhang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said slowly: "Revenge, for my master, only the Heaven-Defying Sword can kill him. So you must return the Heaven-Defying Sword to me."

Hearing what Zhang Yi said, Xu Qingfan shook his head and said slowly: "Since your Excellency is out for revenge, I can only disappoint you. If you want to cultivate the Heaven-defying Sword, you must absorb countless innocent people." If human blood and souls are given to you, I don’t know how many innocent lives will die miserably, but this is not what I want. What’s more, the Heaven-defying Sword has been sealed in a hidden place by me.”

"So, you are unwilling to return this heaven-defying sword to me?"

After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Zhang Yi's eyes and tone became colder, and he asked in a cold voice.

Seeing the coldness in Zhang's eyes, Xu Qingfan was secretly on guard, but his tone remained calm and said, "Please forgive me." As Xu Qingfan's words fell, something strange happened.
