TaiHao

Xun Yang sent all his beloved disciples to Luoyan Peak, and he meditated with his eyes closed in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, allowing these juniors to communicate with each other.

Shuiyuedongtian is based on the family, and besides Zhang Miao, there are several of his clan brothers; on the Haoming sect, in addition to two male disciples, there is also a female disciple. Therefore, this female disciple and two fellow disciples from Lotus Peak were admiring the flowers in the back. Only Lin Zixuan took the lead and led these men to wander around Luoyan Peak.

Luoyan Peak does not have a high status among the Baiyang Sixteen Peaks, but it has beautiful scenery and is a good place to entertain guests.

Looking at the scenery in the mountain, a member of the Zhang clan suddenly spoke: "I have heard for a long time about the exquisite illusion skills of Taixu Taoist Sect. How about we compare with each other? Fellow Taoist, I heard that you once defeated cousin Miao?" The target was pointed directly at Jiang Yuanchen.

Jiang Yuanchen's eyes turned cold. Sure enough, these people are not going to do anything good if they come to our side!

Just when Jiang Yuanchen was about to refuse, he heard Zhu Chunzheng nodding on the side: "Since several colleagues from Shuiyuedongtian want to discuss with each other, then we have to be merciless. Junior Brother Jiang, just discuss with this brother. .”

As soon as Zhu Chun's true words came out, Jiang Yuanchen's face immediately dropped, and there was a bit of a strange atmosphere among several Taixu Taoist disciples.

Wei Gong frowned and was a little dissatisfied. Normally you only target Senior Brother Lin and Junior Brother Jiang, but now you actually dare to pick it out in front of outsiders? And why are you acting like an elder? I haven’t seen how much you take care of Junior Brother Jiang on weekdays!

Yang Ling suddenly said to the two disciples of the Haoming Sect on the side: "Two Taoist brothers, I have heard for a long time that the Qi cultivation method of the Haoming Sect is unique. Shall we go over there and have a good discussion?"

Nowadays, among the Nine Immortal Sects, the Celestial Immortal Taoism dominates, and all sects and sects use Qi training as their fundamental technique. However, the Chixiao Sword Sect refines the original sword to replace the golden elixir, and the Haoming Sect uses the Nascent Soul method to replace the fourth step of the golden elixir. This is still somewhat different from the Taixu Taoist Sect, which claims to be the righteous path of the golden elixir.

However, the Haoming Sect can be one of the Nine Immortal Sects, and its Qihai Nascent Soul method is also of great reference value, so Yang Ling, who prefers Qi Dao practice, wanted to ask them for advice.

The two disciples of the Haoming Sect were warned by their leader before they came. The Haoming Sect was by no means a match for the Taixu Dao Sect, and they could not defeat their fellow disciples of the Taixu Dao Sect. So don't get involved in the fight between Taixu Dao Sect and Shuiyue Dongtian without losing the sect's face.

"I have heard for a long time that the Qi Dao of Taixu Dao Sect is one of the three unique skills. We are far away in Zhongzhou and have no chance to see it. We must not miss the opportunity this time." A disciple of the Haoming Sect said with a smile.

So, Yang Ling took two disciples of the Haoming sect to discuss Taoism not far away, but Wei Gong didn't want to let Zhu Chunzheng hold him back anymore, so he took him there too.

Without the Haoming Sect as a shield in the middle, the atmosphere between Taixu Dao Sect and Shuiyue Dongtian is on the verge of breaking out.

The three female disciples who were admiring the flowers raised their eyes and looked at the situation here. The woman in white clothes from Lianhua Peak shook her head and said: "You two sisters, Luoyanping is in the distance. How about I go over there to see the swan geese?" ?”

The two women responded in agreement, and the three female cultivators also left the place.

With no one else watching, Lin Zixuan and others, Zhang Miao and the others were having a rough time.

Jiang Yuanchen's mind changed and he smiled at the person who had just invited him to fight. He saw the Zhang disciple suddenly raised his hands to an empty tree not far away and said, "Fellow Taoist, then I'll invite you!" After that, the man began to cast illusions on the big tree.

Zhang Miao's expression changed, and he suddenly waved the folding fan in his hand to release the illusion Jiang Yuanchen had cast on the tree. Only then did the man recover, his face suddenly turned red, and he stood behind Zhang Miao without speaking.

Zhang Miao saw that this clan brother was somewhat honest, and secretly gave Jiang Yuanchen a thumbs up.

Originally, he was defeated by Jiang Yuanchen and was ridiculed by others in the clan. Can't a foundation-building monk defeat a qi-nurturing imp? In particular, this clan brother has always been at odds with him, and now that Jiang Yuanchen has given him a similar lesson, he will probably not speak casually.

"Little brother Jiang's techniques are becoming more and more sophisticated." Zhang Miao could tell that Jiang Yuanchen had just used illusion to turn the big tree into a Taixu Dao Sect disciple, and then provoked his own family brother to accept the challenge from his own family brother.

The eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and body are even involved in the deception of artistic conception? After all, I and others are the face of Shuiyue Dongtian, so it is not good for them to suffer such a secret loss here. Zhang Miao must have said politely: "Jiang family brother, how about you and I continue the fight we had?" Zhang Miao shook his folding fan slightly and stared at Jiang Yuanchen's eyes.

Looking into each other's eyes, a layer of mist suddenly appeared in Zhang Miao's eyes, and he tried to pull Jiang Yuanchen into his illusion with the help of his pupil technique.

The illusion of Shuiyue Cave, as the name suggests, is "flowers in the mirror, moon in the water".

In addition to the "viewing in the mist" where the five senses are blinded at the beginning, the next level is the practice of the "flower in the mirror". After reaching the golden elixir, you can start the practice of "moon in the water".

The flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water are all illusory and invisible things, which are different from the Taixu Taoist Sect's route of seeking falsehood and refining trueness.

Now the two factions have agreed to fight for a hundred years. In addition to the initial battle of spirits, they also want to learn from each other's illusions to comprehensively integrate their own systems.

Jiang Yuanchen sighed softly, with a hint of sadness in his sigh, and a strange light appeared in his eyes. Zhang Miao, who was opposite him, suddenly trembled and stretched out his hand unconsciously.

But Zhang Miao looked struggling, as if he understood that he had entered Jiang Yuanchen's illusion realm.

Zhang Miao's hand remained deadlocked for a long time, and finally touched Jiang Yuanchen's cheek.

"That's all, I lost." Just when Zhang Miao's hand touched Jiang Yuanchen, Zhang Miao suddenly broke away from the illusion and smiled bitterly: "Your handwriting is actually quite similar to my family's water moon illusion. If you want to If you come to Shuiyuedongtian, I can ask my grandfather to accept you as my disciple." This fellow's path of walking on the water and the moon is very consistent with the method of Shuiyuedongtian.

Be a disciple of Master Yuanshen! Chu Chaoyun and others couldn't help but change their expressions, just waiting to see how Jiang Yuanchen would answer.

Jiang Yuanchen's eyes drooped: "Brother Zhang is flattering me. I just won by luck. How can He De be able to enter the eyes of a real person?" It is indeed good to be a disciple of Zhenren Yuanshen, but what if this Zhenren Yuanshen is about to die? You must know that Jiang Yuanchen knew Taixu Dao Sect's plan against Shuiyue Dongtian. How could Taixu Dao Sect let him go so easily?

Lin Zixuan coughed lightly: "Okay, that's it, let's continue to enjoy the scenery."

Chu Chaoyun patted his shoulder and whispered in Jiang Yuanchen's ear: "How did you deal with them just now?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little trick." Jiang Yuanchen didn't want to say more about the means of his victory just now. Several disciples of the Zhang family on the opposite side gathered around Zhang Miao and asked about the situation just now.

"I can't tell, I can't tell." Zhang Miao spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "It really doesn't work, you guys go try it yourselves!"

Several clan brothers shook their heads. They didn't want to make a fool of themselves together when they didn't understand each other's situation.

After Chu Chaoyun, Lin Zixuan also came over and patted him on the back, which meant very clearly.

"Senior brother, don't ask. It's not a glorious thing anyway."

It is indeed not a glamorous thing. Zhang Miao used illusions to transform a palace with terraces. Countless singers and dancers gathered around Jiang Yuanchen and sang their mesmerizing sounds to arouse Jiang Yuanchen's desire.

However, although Jiang Yuanchen is an adult, he does not have any fishing (desire) net (hope) in that regard under the Taoist method of cultivating qi and cultivating nature. But Zhang Miao obviously did this with ulterior motives, wanting to make Jiang Yuanchen look embarrassed in front of everyone and lose his composure.

So Jiang Yuanchen also fought back. Didn't Zhang Miao use illusion to connect the two consciousnesses? Then Jiang Yuanchen directly borrowed the illusion he constructed to bring Zhang Miao in.

Let Zhang Miao be surrounded by these singers and dancers, showing a luxurious scene of drunkenness and wealth.

This was Zhang Miao's illusion, but Jiang Yuanchen constructed another illusion of his own outside of the illusion. The cold moon is lonely, the woodshed is simple, a young woman has lost her appearance, her hair is unkempt, and she laments that her husband is not by her side.

"The soul is lost but does not return, the body is withered and lives alone. Allow me to go in the morning and come back in the evening, eat and drink happily and forget the old people. The heart is moved and does not reflect on the past, and the friendship is happy and close."

The young woman's face was full of sorrow, and her plaintive singing voice was in sharp contrast to the singers and dancers in the luxurious palace.

"In the past, when the new house was here and the promises were made, only the new ones laughed, why did the old ones cry?"

Don't you want to use wine, sex, wealth and energy to destroy my Taoist heart? Then I directly used fantasy to construct a scene of a heartless man abandoning his first wife. When the woman lamented about her past sweet life with her husband, Jiang Yuanchen maliciously changed the man among them into Zhang Miao's appearance, thereby making him immersed in the scene and empathizing with her, and triggering his feelings of guilt.

After all, both of them were disgraceful in their methods and did not want to talk to outsiders, so they kept silent in a tacit understanding.

After Jiang Yuanchen came forward to intimidate them, the people in Shuiyuedongtian finally became honest. After wandering around, they returned to the Great Chunyang Palace under the leadership of Xun Yang.

Not long after, the battle in the sky came to an end. A white drill swept away several Zhang family disciples, and the people from Shuiyuedongtian went back directly under the leadership of Zhenren Huanyue.

"Sure enough, Shuiyuedongtian was defeated again?" Xun Yang asked quickly when he saw the two elders Wei Hong coming down.

According to Shuiyue Dongtian's usual habit, if he loses, he will leave immediately; if he wins, he will stay in Taixu Dao Sect for three days and see the black faces of Taixu Dao Sect showing off their power.

"Well, that Daoist Master is still inferior to Daoist Master Lingxu." Wei Hong looked beaming with joy and told Xun Yang: "Master Yuanshen of the Haoming Sect will discuss Taoism with Daoist Jingyuan for seven days, so the Haoming Sect's Several comrades will stay with us for a few more days, so please arrange their accommodation quickly and don't neglect them."

After they left, Wei Hong took some time to secretly communicate with Head Ning.

"Master Lingxu said that Master Huanyue really has a bit more of Taixu Illusion Realm, and it seems that he wants to use Taixu Illusion Realm to perfect their Shuiyue Dharma. The reason why he delayed the competition for two years should be That’s why.”

"So, will he die within three hundred years?" Head Ning looked indifferent and began to calculate what would happen next in Shuiyuedongtian. "It would be better if we could delay him until the five hundred years of demonic calamity and completely wipe out their family's orthodoxy with the help of demonic power."

"I'm afraid it won't be that long. What the real person means is that after a hundred or two hundred years, the real person Huanyue will notice it, and maybe he will go crazy."

In other words, it is very likely that this real person will arrange his posthumous affairs in advance and select a new clan member to take over the position of real person Huanyue?

Head Ning had been planning for a while, so he had to give up temporarily and wait for an opportunity to see what was going on behind Shuiyuedongtian. If we can get a cave, it will be of great benefit to Taixu Dao Sect.

"Not to mention this, the Haoming Sect intends to invite us to settle in Zhongzhou. What do you think, junior brother?" In order to deal with the aggressive Jingyang Taoist sect, the Haoming sect, which is now almost wiped out, can only invite others to come in and get a share of the pie.

How can the three-legged situation continue after one of them, the Haoming Sect, is almost wiped out? There is only one more force that can be added to muddy the waters.

The only ones that can compete with the Jingyang Taoist Sect are the Nine Immortal Sects. Yiwang Palace and Hanyue Palace are directly excluded. Tianmen Taoism has always been explained in simple terms. The remaining Tiangong Mansion and Qingli Guan are fighting fiercely in the east, which means Taixu Taoist Sect is qualified to challenge them. Reach out.

"Although each of our major sects suffered losses during the Demonic Tribulation, our Taixu Dao Sect almost wiped out a generation of disciples and created a gap. It is difficult to truly seek the interests of Zhongzhou." Wei Hong is not very optimistic about this: "I It's enough to dominate a continent and maintain it, but if you want to expand, you'll be short of manpower."

After listening to Wei Hong's words, Head Ning nodded, he thought so too. The most important thing for Taixu Dao Sect now is to recharge their batteries, how can they easily start another war? Although those real Demon Dao Yuanshen were forced to retire due to the Dao Demon Contract signed by Mo Jie, Taixu Dao Sect was not without other problems.

"What my junior brother said is what my brother thinks, but if the Jingyang Taoist sect dominates Zhongzhou, this situation will not be what our Taoist sect wants."

The Jingyang Taoist sect is so powerful that it is indeed a nightmare for the Taixu Taoist sect, especially the old immortal Lingxu in Jingyang Mountain who is secretly cursing him every day. How come a person as cowardly and scheming as him has survived several demonic tribulations, while Patriarch Ziyang of our sect is so jealous of his talent?

"My little brother remembers that there is a spiritual mountain at the junction of Zhongzhou and Lingzhou that belongs to the Haoming Sect. Let them give us that spiritual mountain as a foothold. We may not be able to help them. Let's unite with the colleagues of the Chixiao Sword Sect. , let’s suppress the momentum of Jingyang Taoist Sect together, after all, the Danyuan Conference is not long away, and Jingyang Taoist Sect does not dare to fall out at this moment.”

With that spiritual mountain there, you can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and it would also be a good idea for your disciples to go to Zhongzhou for more experience.

In the next few days, Yang Ling led the crowd and took two disciples of the Haoming Sect to build a relationship, while Jiang Yuanchen and Lin Zixuan went to the Shanggong Hall to find the mission in southern Xinjiang. According to Jiang Yuanchen's wishes, while searching for Yin Yang Kan Li Jing, completing the experience tasks related to Southern Xinjiang together would also earn them both some merit points.

"The experience in Southern Xinjiang requires real life and death fighting, which is much more difficult than here in Lingzhou." Jiang Yuanchen took out a piece of paper and wrote a long list directly.

There are no less than a hundred kinds of elixirs that he carries with him, as well as a set of magic circles specially used to gather spirits and extract special vitality, and one hundred and twenty Qi storage pots. Of course, the Sanyuan Cauldron used for alchemy must also be carried. With such a list, the standard Qiankun bag configured by Taixu Dao Sect is simply not enough.

And this is just Jiang Yuanchen's preparation. Lin Zixuan also needs to bring a lot of materials for refining the weapons, a cauldron of earth fire, and several molds for refining the utensils.

"I have traveled many times, and I have added a Ruyi Bracelet to the Qiankun Bag. The space inside is enough for me to refine weapons. The space of this Ruyi Bracelet is not small, and it is the same size as our cave residence. . If the salary is one thousand points, can Junior Brother still afford it?"

One thousand stipends is not expensive if you have a space as big as a bamboo house. Jiang Yuanchen nodded: "I have been refining alchemy for ten years, and I have about 5,000 stipends, which must be enough. But at the same time, I also need to prepare miasma-breaking pills, detoxification pills and other medicines, and I need my senior brother's help to prepare our temporary residence. "

Lin Zixuan frowned. In the past, when he traveled alone and needed no shelter, he would just meditate on the bed for the entire night. If you really can't, you can just survive by hiding in the Taoist temple of Taixu Taoist Sect or temples in various places. But according to Jiang Yuanchen's temper, how could he give in to himself like this?

"In the past, my senior brother was practicing in Lingzhou, and it didn't matter if we put up the Taixu Dao Sect's signboard, but no one in Southern Xinjiang cares about our status. If we don't prepare a defensive residence, I won't be able to sleep well at night. Sleep."

There were fewer fights in Lingzhou because Taixu Taoism taught the place with Confucianism, Legalism and morality. However, Yanzhou Yiwang Palace advocates bloody martial arts, and the battles here are far more intense than in Lingzhou.

A night of meditation was over. Lin Zixuan was about to speak, but when he thought about it carefully, Jiang Yuanchen needed to collect moonlight to practice at night, so wouldn't he be responsible for the guarding work every night?

"Junior brother is right. It's better to prepare a temporary residence for peace of mind." Lin Zixuan checked that the cheapest temporary residence in the sect would cost 2,000 stipends, so he had to bear the burden of this on himself.

"This one?" Jiang Yuanchen pointed to another residence worth three thousand stipend points: "I will add another thousand stipend points. Senior brother can exchange it for this one in his own name."

Seeing that Lin Zixuan was reluctant to give up, Jiang Yuanchen waved his hand: "Okay, senior brother, it's not a loss to exchange for three thousand stipends for this temporary residence. Don't forget, the timepieces, calendars and other things produced by Tiangong Mansion are all brought by the residence. It also saves us having to take it from outside our home. Moreover, this temporary residence also comes with a spiritual light cannon from Tiangong Mansion. The spiritual mansion with attack means is already very good. In addition, the demon exorcism vanilla is included in the building materials of the residence. , and also allows us to avoid the intrusion of some low-level monsters."

"Forget it, you've already mentioned this, let's exchange it for this one." Lin Zixuan's salary points are not much more than Jiang Yuanchen's. Lin Zixuan only has three thousand salary points, and after changing to this residence, he still has some left. One thousand, but there won’t be much left after exchanging some materials.

"By the way, you don't need to prepare too much for things like spiritual stones. You and I will go to the sect in a while to exchange the spiritual stones for spiritual tickets. With the spiritual tickets, we can go directly to King Yi's Palace to extract a thousand spiritual stones."

If the spiritual ticket has the mark of one of the nine immortal sects, it can be directly exchanged for spiritual stones at the other eight immortal sects. After all, spiritual stones are not easy to get, who would go out with tens of thousands of spiritual stones every day?

The origin of this spiritual ticket originally came from the Chixiao Sword Sect and Taixu Taoist Sect. A sword cultivator from the Chixiao Sword Sect borrowed two thousand gold coins from the Taixu Dao Sect in the name of the sect because his body was clean of spirit stones and because he was in Lingzhou and did not want to give up half of what he had accomplished. After tasting the spirit stone, one year later Taixu Dao Sect took the voucher to the Chixiao Sword Sect to get the spirit stone back. Since the two sects had a good relationship, this rule was maintained. Disciples of the Taixu Dao Sect often go to the Chixiao Sword Sect to get spirit stones with their spirit tickets, and the same goes for the Chixiao Sword Sect.

Later, the Nine Immortals Sect communicated with each other and established rules and covenants, completely establishing the spirit ticket method. Each other can use the spirit ticket to exchange for spirit stones.

Directly hand over a thousand low-grade spirit stones to the sect to exchange for spirit tickets, and then go through the local Nine Immortals Sect to exchange for the spirit stones when you arrive at your destination. This will save you trouble on the road, and carrying so many spirit stones will not take up space.

"One thousand spirit stones are enough for you and me to use daily. Then I will specially refine a batch of foundation-building pills. Then I won't have to worry about having no way out."

Foundation-building pills are real hard currency. If it weren't for the fact that spirit stones are a currency that cannot be dispensed with, Jiang Yuanchen would just want to pack a bag of pills for himself.

The mining of spiritual stones requires the spiritual veins of the mines that are contaminated with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is also a slow encroachment and destruction of heaven and earth.

Jiang Yuanchen actually doesn't like using spirit stones. He usually uses his salary points to exchange for things in Taixu Dao Sect. If it doesn't work, he can still use pills.

In Jiang Yuanchen's opinion, using elixirs as currency, especially the vitality elixirs collected from the vitality of heaven and earth, is much better than any spiritual stone, and the damage to heaven and earth will not be serious.

Spiritual stones have been mined without restraint, and it will naturally take at least hundreds of years for heaven and earth to give birth to spiritual stones again. However, if the Vitality Pill is used as currency, it can be used for cultivation in addition to transactions. When the monk dies, the vitality will naturally return to the world. Its circulation speed is much faster than that of spirit stones, and it can also increase the influence of the Qi Dan lineage.

However, Jiang Yuanchen is currently a low-key person, and this idea is just a sign. He has no choice but to influence the entire cultivation world through the sect after reaching the golden elixir.

——————————————————————

I was very unlucky today. First there was a power outage in the morning. I locked half of the manuscript in my computer and planned to update it in the evening. Then my father was drunk and I hurried to borrow it. I just got home and didn't bother to eat, so I went to the computer to finish the manuscript.

Two chapters in one
