The Path to Immortality

Taoist Jinghai obviously thought so too. He immediately followed the instructions of the Mother and Son Heart Bracelet, adjusted the direction slightly, and accelerated.

A distance of a hundred miles is nothing to a foundation-building monk, even in the dangerous Jishi Mountain forbidden area.

With the two sides walking towards each other, after a moment, the two sides met in the sky above a green poisonous pool.

There were two monks coming from the other side.

One of them, wearing a Taoist robe similar to that of Taoist Jinghai, should also be one of the guides of No Return.

The other person had a ferocious face, and there was an indescribable but lingering bloody aura about him. It was obvious at a glance that he must have committed a lot of murders.

Seeing Fang Ping and others, this person only glanced at them briefly, then showed a disdainful expression, without even the slightest intention of communicating.

Although it was only a short observation, Fang Ping already had a guess in his mind: This Xihuang monk must have caused some huge trouble and could no longer survive in Xihuangzhou, so he managed to escape to Yunzhou to avoid pursuit.

Since the other party showed such a arrogant attitude, Fang Ping was too lazy to take the initiative to provoke him. He stopped where he was and waited patiently.

At this time, the two guides who had no intention of looking back were secretly communicating through messages.

Perhaps relying on his own cultivation, he did not hide this communication from a few people. I just don’t know what he said, but Taoist Jinghai’s face turned ugly to the naked eye.

Could it be some bad news?

Fang Ping's heart moved, and he secretly used his spiritual consciousness to intercept the mana transmission and eavesdrop on the exchange between the two.

Among the other monks present, Duanmu Chen, who was in the late stage of foundation building, might also be able to forcibly intercept the sound transmission, but he would definitely not be able to do so without alerting the two of them.

Perhaps because of this, Taoist Jinghai did not deliberately take extra precautions, and Fang Ping easily overheard the content.

"...Isn't the medium-sized spiritual stone vein in Jihai Mountain protected by a second-level formation? Why was it so easily taken down by the monks of the Ruyi Sect?"

Taoist Jinghai's tone seemed a bit unbelievable.

The guide on the opposite side, whose Taoist name was Jingzhen, heard the words and replied: "When I left, the news had just come back. I don't know what happened exactly. I only heard that it might be the ancestor Lei who was in charge of the mines in the Ruyi Sect. Under siege by the Jindan monks, he was the first to escape when he saw that the situation was not good. As a result, the mine was unable to support the arrival of reinforcements and was captured by the Ruyi Sect monks. "

"How dare Ancestor Lei..."

Upon hearing this name, Taoist Jinghai's expression changed again. It seemed that this golden elixir monk had a lot to do with him.

However, Taoist Jingzhen seemed to have arrived in a hurry and had limited knowledge of specific information.

The two continued to exchange a few words, but seeing that Taoist Jingzhen couldn't explain anything, Taoist Jinghai could only stop the topic with a solemn expression, and instead exchanged some information on the movements of the monsters encountered along the way.

Fang Ping continued to eavesdrop for a while, but when he saw that there was no more valuable information, he quietly withdrew his consciousness.

Although the eavesdropping time was short, Fang Ping still obtained a lot of valuable information by analyzing the conversation between the two.

For example, the Jindan Sect Wuhui Sect, which controls the exit at the other end of Jishi Mountain, seems to be fighting with another sect called Ruyi Sect. It sounds like they are at a disadvantage, and even the mid-grade spiritual stone veins have been taken over.

This matter also involves a golden elixir monk named Lei Patriarch, who seems to be related to Taoist Jinghai.

However, after all, it was an internal conflict within the Wuhui Sect. After some thought, Fang Ping felt that the possibility of affecting him was low, so he didn't bother to delve into it further.

Anyway, he had no intention of joining the Wuhui Sect. When he arrived at Xihuang Continent, the sky was vast and he could travel anywhere. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to escape from the war between good and evil, and then turn around and actively get involved in the feud between two local Jindan sects. .

At this time, Taoist Jinghai and Jingzhen finished exchanging information. The two released the resonance of the son-mother concentric ring and said to each other to take care. Afterwards, Taoist Jingzhen took the lead to leave together with the ferocious-looking Xihuang monk.

After being stunned for a moment.

Taoist Jinghai acted as if nothing had happened and led Fang Ping and others on the road again.

To Duanmuchen and other monks who didn't know the inside story, there didn't seem to be anything special about this exchange.

Only Fang Ping could notice that after learning the latest news about the sect from Jingzhen, Taoist Jinghai's next move was obviously faster, a little more eager than in the first half.

Despite this, thanks to the perfect map guidance and the experience accumulated from many trips to Jishi Mountain, Taoist Jinghai's guide was still impeccable in the next few days.

Although they were inevitably attacked by monsters during the period, they all passed without risk.

After another day's journey, as the terrain continued to rise, everyone gradually approached the highest point in the entire journey of Jishi Mountain: an unnamed peak over ten thousand feet high with a snow-capped top.

The lair of the third and last golden elixir monster [Tian Shuang Bing Luan] in Jishi Mountain is located in this snow mountain.

According to the characteristics of Tianshuang Bingluan summarized by Wu Huiguan, this golden elixir monster has a strong sense of territory. It will regularly go out to patrol its territory and attack trespassing monsters and human monks at will.

Moreover, its active range is extremely broad, covering tens of thousands of miles at least.

This is undoubtedly not good news for the monks who want to pass through this place.

Fortunately, in the past ten years or so, this Sky Frost Ice Luan seems to be showing signs of being promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core. Every few months, it will fall asleep in its lair.

The previous Taoist Jingzhen took advantage of Tianshuang Bingluan's sleep and successfully passed through this snowy mountain.

………

Standing on the edge of the foot of the snow mountain, Jinghai Daoist hesitated for a moment.

It was not long before Jinghai Daoist passed this place, and there was a high probability that Tianshuang Bingluan was still asleep.

Perhaps, they could seize this opportunity and pass through the snow mountain quickly.

Since it was uncertain how long Tianshuang Bingluan had been asleep this time, if they wanted to be safe, they could also choose to leave surveillance measures here, and then retreat to the outside of Tianshuang Bingluan's active area.

When Tianshuang Bingluan wakes up from her sleep, she will patrol the territory as usual, and after some activity, she will enter the next sleep cycle, and then they will pass through here again.

Compared with rushing through directly, this move is undoubtedly the lowest risk.

But it also means that they need to spend a lot of waiting time.

If they are lucky, they only need to wait for one or two months. If they are a little unlucky, they may have to wait for half a year!

"If it is ten days or half a month, it will be fine to wait. Because of a potential risk with a low probability, it will waste half a year..."

Thinking about the news he got from Jingzhen Daoist, Jinghai Daoist was anxious and gradually had a tendency.

Factional disputes are inevitable everywhere.

Luoyang Sect has them, Wuhui Sect has them too.

In fact, the factional disputes in Wuhui Sect are even more intense.

The Jindan Patriarch of the faction where Jinghai Taoist belongs is none other than the Lei Patriarch.
