Seeking Immortality

During these years in Jiuhua Mountain, Xu Qingfan can be considered to have read a lot of books, so he has some understanding of the "Six-winged Golden Bug".

Speaking of the "Six-winged Golden Bug", we have to talk about a mysterious sect in the world of immortal cultivation - the "Hua Ling Sect". This sect has a long history, and its origin has been passed down for many years and it is no longer traceable. Moreover, because it has been secluded for many years and rarely participates in the struggles in the world of immortal cultivation, and has only been active on a few isolated islands in the depths of the East China Sea for thousands of years, it is not well-known in the world of immortal cultivation. However, any immortal cultivator who knows about this sect dare not underestimate the strength of this sect.

The person who founded the "Hua Ling Sect" can be said to be a genius. Unlike the popular practice of absorbing the Yin and Yang and Five Elements of the world to transform oneself in the world of immortal cultivation, this "Hua Ling Sect" absorbs the Yin and Yang and Five Elements of the world to transform other things, and then combines itself with other things to practice double cultivation, which invisibly weakens the importance of the talent of the immortal cultivator, which can be said to be a different way.

After achieving some success in cultivation, each disciple of this sect will first look for a "spiritual object". This "spiritual object" can be a monster, a bird or an insect, or even the corpse of a master. Then, the essence of all things in the world and the energy of yin and yang and the five elements will be used to refine, transform and upgrade these "spiritual objects". During the refinement, the spiritual intelligence of these "spiritual objects" will be wiped out and they will be controlled. When the cultivators of this sect and their own "spiritual objects" finally reach the point of unity of mind and spirit, they will retreat and combine with the "spiritual objects" to practice double cultivation, and finally let themselves have the powerful abilities and characteristics of this "spiritual object".

It is said that thousands of years ago, this "Hua Ling Sect" was once very prosperous. In order to find a more powerful "spiritual object" to enhance their own strength, the "Hua Ling Sect" cultivators who possessed the powerful abilities of "spiritual objects" robbed and plundered in the world of immortal cultivation, and even attacked the major immortal cultivation sects to obtain the corpses of immortal cultivators as "spiritual objects".

As a result, the "Hua Ling Sect" finally aroused the anger of the immortal cultivation world, forcing the major immortal cultivation sects to unite and attack the "Hua Ling Mountain", the headquarters of the "Hua Ling Sect". Unfortunately, due to the tolerance of the major immortal cultivation sects for many years, the "Hua Ling Sect", which had collected many "spiritual objects", had become so powerful that it was unmatched. Although it eventually drove the "Hua Ling Sect" out of the East China Sea, it was unable to wipe it out due to heavy losses in strength. The "Hua Ling Sect" also suffered a setback because all the masters of the sect were killed or injured in the battle, and the "spiritual objects" collected for many years were swept away, and it was unable to recover from it, and it was no longer able to return to the Middle-earth Continent.

The "six-winged golden insect" mentioned by Master Li just now is one of the "spiritual objects" most commonly used by low-level disciples of the "Hua Ling Sect".

"Could it be that the 'Hua Ling Sect' is going to return to the Middle Earth? If so, it's a big deal, and I must report it to the master immediately. But it doesn't make sense. If the 'Hua Ling Sect' wants to secretly infiltrate the Middle Earth, it is impossible to send disciples who are only in the Qi Refining Stage. And even if they come to the Middle Earth, these disciples can't spend so much effort just to cultivate a "six-winged golden insect." Xu Qingfan was wandering around Gushan Town, thinking silently.

"Master, where are we going next?" Seeing Xu Qingfan frowning, Zhang Long beside him asked cautiously.

Seeing Zhang Long cautiously calling him Master, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel amused and said, "I haven't agreed to accept you as my disciple yet, why are you calling me Master?"

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Zhang Long was very anxious and said, "Master, I really want to be your disciple. As long as you accept me as your disciple, I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly and work hard without complaint."

Seeing that Zhang Long was about to swear an oath to the sky, Xu Qingfan shook his head slightly. Slowly said: "It is impossible for me to accept you as my apprentice, and I don't have the heart to accept you as my apprentice now. But if I verify that what you said just now is true, I will personally take action to avenge you."

"Thank you, sir." Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Zhang Long was happy at first, and then his expression turned helpless. He knew that it was impossible for Xu Qingfan to accept him as his apprentice, so he said: "If you can help me avenge, I am still willing to serve you and work like a cow and a horse in return."

Seeing that Zhang Long was grateful but a little listless, Xu Qingfan asked lightly: "What's wrong? I promised to help you avenge, why are you still unhappy?"

"It's not that I'm unhappy, but I just want to take revenge myself." Zhang Long said a little discouraged.

"No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't beat the immortal cultivators. So forget about your idea of ​​taking revenge yourself." Xu Qingfan said lightly.

"But you can't do it, sir?" Zhang Long said.

Hearing Zhang Long's doubts, Xu Qingfan just smiled and said nothing. He pondered for a while and then said, "If I can help you get revenge this time, you don't have to work like a cow or a horse. But I may ask you to help take care of some people for me soon. I hope you won't refuse then."

"I will do my best to complete what you have asked. But can you tell me who they are?"

"They are my clansmen, but I don't know if I can find them." Xu Qingfan looked up at the sky, with a nostalgic look in his eyes, and said slowly.

"My lord, you have great magical powers, you will definitely find them." Seeing Xu Qingfan's somewhat lonely look, Zhang Long hurriedly comforted him.

"I hope so." Xu Qingfan said lightly. That being said, it is not easy to find the lost tribesmen. Let's not talk about whether those tribesmen who escaped from Xujiazhai with Xu Qingfan are still alive after so many years. Even if they are still alive, how can they be easily found in the vast southern wilderness of hundreds of thousands of miles?

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about your situation first." Xu Qingfan calmed down the inexplicable emotions in his heart and said to Zhang Long.

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Zhang Long asked in confusion.

"Let's go outside the town first and talk in detail." Xu Qingfan glanced at the Zhang family servants who were following him and said with a faint smile.

As he said that, Xu Qingfan took Zhang Long out of the town. Several Zhang family servants who were following Xu Qingfan and Zhang Long were about to follow them out of the town, but suddenly they felt dizzy. After they recovered, they looked for Xu Qingfan and Zhang Long, but where could they find them?

Outside the town, in the grove, Xu Qingfan and Zhang Long sat on the ground.

"Stretch out your right hand." Xu Qingfan said lightly.

After Zhang Long stretched out his right hand as he said, Xu Qingfan gently placed his two fingers on the tiger's mouth of Zhang Long's right hand, and then the Mu Yi spiritual energy in his body slowly penetrated into Zhang Long's body. Zhang Long only felt a force containing a strong breath of life entering his body from the tiger's mouth, and it kept running in his body. He couldn't help but marvel at the fact that although the young master Xu in front of him was not very old, his internal strength was really good, and his confidence in Xu Qingfan's words to help him avenge himself was three points greater.

"As expected." Xu Qingfan felt that his spiritual energy was blocked every time it passed through the "Giant Tiger Cave" in Zhang Long's body, as if there was a foreign object hidden there, and said softly.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Seeing Xu Qingfan's solemn expression, Zhang Long asked nervously.

"Zhang Long, did you often eat some spiritual medicine when you were a child?" Xu Qingfan asked.

"Yes, I was sick when I was a child, so my father often looked for spiritual medicines such as ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum to help me replenish my body." Zhang Long nodded.

"So that's it, it seems that you were used as a 'container' by Master Li." Xu Qingfan said slowly.

"'Container'? What container?" Zhang Long asked curiously.

"Don't worry about this, it's not a big deal, I will solve it for you." Xu Qingfan said lightly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhang Long heard Xu Qingfan say this, and he didn't dare to say anything more, just asked: "Then what are we doing now?"

"Wait." Xu Qingfan said.

"Wait? What are you waiting for?" Zhang Long asked.

"Wait until it gets dark, then I'll go to Li's mansion to find out about Master Li's background." Xu Qingfan said lightly.

"Go to find out about Master Li's background?" Zhang Long exclaimed, "Sir, Master Li is a cultivator, it's too dangerous for you to find out about him."

Hearing Zhang Long's words, Xu Qingfan smiled slightly, feeling that although Zhang Long had always been hanging out with street rogues, he was not a cold-hearted person by nature, so he smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plan to deal with it."

According to Xu Qingfan's estimation, this Master Li should be a low-level disciple of the 'Hua Ling Sect'. After coming to the Middle Earth, he wanted to cultivate a 'six-winged golden insect' as his 'spiritual control object', but the conditions for cultivating this 'six-winged golden insect' are extremely difficult. When it is still a young egg, it needs to be nourished with the blood of the Yang at all times, and it will break out of the cocoon after 300 days.

The person with the most yang blood in his body is called a "container", but the fate of this "container" is generally very tragic, because the "six-winged golden worm" is a bloodthirsty creature. After breaking out of the cocoon, it will eat all the blood and flesh in the "container", causing the "container" to die in great pain.

Zhang Long has been eating a lot of spiritual medicine since he was a child, so his blood is very strong. After being spotted by Master Li, he was chosen as the "container" for his "six-winged golden worm" eggs, so he was greedy when he saw Zhang Long. From the situation detected by the spiritual energy just now, the "six-winged golden worm" in Zhang Long's body is about to break out of the cocoon.

So Xu Qingfan didn't plan to tell Zhang Long about these things, first because Xu Qingfan felt that it was too troublesome to explain, and it was very likely that Zhang Long would guess his identity as a cultivator, and second because he was afraid that he would panic after explaining it clearly to Zhang Long.

In waiting, time always seems extremely long. However, Xu Qingfan was always calm and didn't feel unbearable while meditating. It was just that Zhang Long seemed a little restless. He kept walking around after knowing that Xu Qingfan was going to visit Li's house at night.

Just as Zhang Long was anxious, the sky was dyed black unconsciously, decorated with stars.

"It's time." Xu Qingfan stopped meditating, slowly opened his eyes, and said lightly: "Tell me the location of Zhang's house and the residence of Master Li in detail now."

"Sir, won't you take me with you?" Zhang Long asked in surprise.

"It's easy to be discovered if I take you with me."

"Okay." Zhang Long also knew that he would be a burden if he followed, so he could only helplessly explain the location of Zhang's house and the residence of Master Li to Xu Qingfan in detail.

"Don't worry too much, I'll be back soon." Xu Qingfan said before leaving.

As he spoke, Xu Qingfan stood up and walked out of the forest. After making sure that he was out of Zhang Long's field of vision, Xu Qingfan used the "Three-foot Green Silk" to transform into a green cloud, carrying him and flying quickly towards the town.
