To Cultivate Immortality, You Need Luck

Chapter 66 Dongxian (4,000-word update)

The tree hole is very small, and the space inside can only accommodate one adult.

Kong Jiao entered it and crossed his legs, just filling the space inside.

Then Kong Jiao brought some dead branches and leaves and sealed the entrance of the tree hole before entering it.

"Although it can't protect you, it can at least confuse you a little bit." Looking at the sealed tree hole entrance, Kong Jiao nodded with satisfaction.

Coupled with his Guanghan Taiyin Meridian's ability to conceal his aura, ordinary monks cannot detect him.

After doing all this, Kong Jiao closed his eyes tightly and began to practice cross-legged in the cave.

Of course, the rest he was talking about did not mean sleeping. He finally had some free time, so he naturally had to use it to consolidate his cultivation.

He had gained a lot from the battle with Dou Xiao a few days ago, and his cultivation had already improved to a certain extent.

He also absorbed Dou Xiao's human spirit essence, and his cultivation level skyrocketed.

I should have found a place to consolidate my cultivation long ago, but I have been thinking about my two teammates and haven't stopped yet.

I am taking a break now to consolidate my current state.

As Kong Jiao's breathing gradually stabilized, the spiritual power in his body slowly began to circulate according to the trajectory of the Guanghan Taiyin Meridian.

The crescent mark on the forehead appears in due course.

Because the top of the tree hole is hollow, the position where Kong Jiao sits cross-legged can receive the light of the moon.

Under the moonlight, something seemed to be resurrected in the moon wheel seal, and something hidden in the moon wheel seal began to swallow the moonlight on its own.

Dots of brilliance float in the space inside the tree hole, like stars.

But these Kong Jiao are no longer visible.

He sat like this for the whole night.

The gains gained over the past few days were finally consolidated in one night and turned into an improvement in Kong Jiao's realm.

When he opened his eyes, he revealed that his aura had become nearly 50% stronger than before the battlefield in Belling County.

"I feel like I'm about to touch the peak of the five realms of Wheel-Nurturing." Feeling the spiritual power flowing thickly in his meridians, Kong Jiao's eyes were bright.

It had only been less than three months since he had broken through the fifth realm of Wheel-Nurturing, and now his spiritual power was about to reach the peak of this realm again.

It only takes two or three months of retreat to try to break through the six realms of Wheel-Nurturing.

At this speed, there is probably no one faster than him in the entire outer sect.

Of course, the reason why it happened so quickly was inseparable from the fact that he absorbed Dou Xiao's human spirit essence.

Although Kong Jiao doesn't know why, his moon wheel has the ability to refine the essence of human souls and transform it into his own cultivation.

But it's a good thing.

He was even considering the plan to improve his cultivation by hunting down those monks who had absorbed the essence of human spirits.

But this idea was soon thrown out of his mind.

"It's just that the number of Blood Cloth Alliance monks who have absorbed the essence of human souls is too small. Even if there are, most of them are concentrated in the seventh level of Wheel-Nurturing and above, so they are difficult to kill."

When I think of that Dou Xiao, I am still hurt.

It would be useless to kill him myself.

If you encounter someone in peak condition, even if you can kill him, you will probably win by a narrow margin.

Kong Jiao does not have the terrible luck of Shangguan Yuzhou.

If the boat capsizes in the gutter, the gains will outweigh the losses.

"It's too dangerous. It's better not to make any plans in this regard."

Kong Jiao shook his head and stopped thinking about this problem.

After thinking about it, Kong Jiao raised his hands above his head and stretched hard.

He had no intention of walking out of the tree hole immediately.

Instead, he took out a storage bag, fumbled around inside, and took out a worn-out sheepskin map.

Kong Jiao can see the use of other things.

This kind of sheepskin map doesn't seem to have any tricks up its sleeve, but it must be that Dou Xiao, who has the blessing of luck, can store it in his storage bag. He must have some skills.

After getting it, Kong Jiao, who was in a hurry, threw it into his storage bag without having time to study it carefully.

Now that I had some free time, I spread the sheepskin on my knees without any hurry.

Kong Jiao's eyes relied on the morning sunlight reflected from the top of the tree hole, and carefully wandered over the sheepskin that was so blurred that the color could not be seen clearly.

His fingers followed his gaze and stroked the parchment.

The texture of the sheepskin is very dry and hard, and I don’t know if it’s because it took too long to make.

It feels obviously rough to the touch.

Soon his brows furrowed.

Except for the outlines of some routes that can be clearly seen, other patterns on the map have been worn away by time.

The only clear part is the outline of a pattern similar to the upper body of a bird at the edge of the lower right corner of the map.

"I really want to see this bird somewhere!" Kong Jiao suddenly felt that the bird pattern was inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

He rubbed his temples gently with his fingers, and soon Kong Jiao's eyes lit up.

"There should be a book in the miscellaneous library that records this pattern. I have read it, but I was so anxious at the time that it passed by in a flash." With Kong Jiao's efforts to recall, he even remembered the name of the book.

""Travel Notes of Dongsang""

It was a miscellaneous book, and it was quite old. It recorded in detail the distribution of sects and the areas they ruled in the Wudong area at that time.

At that time, Wudong was not called Wudong, but Dongsang.

As for the description of the bird pattern, Kong Jiao couldn't remember it for a while.

But it doesn't matter. He can go back to the Ashen Parasol Sect library to borrow the book and study it.

"The bird pattern shouldn't be a treasure map, but it doesn't matter. When you travel to Wudong in the future, you can stop by and see what it is that makes people go to such trouble to record it on this parchment."

With a plan in mind, Kong Jiao slowly put away the parchment.

No longer staying.

He carefully pushed away the fallen leaves and branches at the entrance of the tree hole and walked out.

It happened to be a sunny day outside, and the light shone through the gaps in the trees at the door of the tree cave, and cast little bits of light on Kong Jiao's cyan outer disciple's robe.

Suddenly, Kong Jiao stretched his head and looked around to identify the direction he was going to go next.

His neck turned to the left and stiffened.

His eyes looked strangely at the moss-covered land less than a foot in front of the tree hole.

There, people used fruit cores and dead branches to draw a pattern similar to a map.

He even used a small branch with greenery as the location of the tree hole where Kong Jiao is now.

Judging from the direction in which the fruit core is placed, it should represent Belling County and Xiangming County.

As for the end point of this map, a small boat was folded out of paper and placed in one direction of the map.

The person who drew this map had an obvious meaning.

But those childish strokes looked like a child's graffiti, which made Kong Jiao's face twitch.

The painter seemed unwilling to show up, but the familiar light orchid body fragrance still remained on the folded paper boat.

Her identity is revealed.

Such a cover-up made Kong Jiao dumbfounded. He knew that the girl was nearby.

But for some reason, he couldn't show up, so he could only use the map to guide him.

Then it will be difficult to expose it yourself.

After a slight hesitation, he had an idea, and his exaggerated tone sounded in the forest.

"Ah! Could this paper boat be Shangguan Yuzhou? Which senior will give me guidance? This map is drawn like clouds and flowing water, and the writing is like clouds and smoke. It must be a peerless beauty."

"Could it be that a fairy descended to earth?"

"Since the fairy has given me guidance, I can't delay too much. I'm going to find Senior Brother Shangguan."

…

After saying that, the exaggerated expression on Kong Jiao's face suddenly subsided and returned to normal.

He walked in the direction of the map without looking back.

The tea time has passed.

Huangfu Wuqin walked out from behind the tree where he was hiding with a satisfied expression, looked at the direction Kong Jiao left, and gave his evaluation seriously in a light voice.

"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Kong not only has great understanding, but also has such a vicious vision. He will definitely be the mainstay of my Ashen Parasol Sect in the future."

As for why Huangfu Wuqin pays attention to Kong Jiao.

Of course she has her reasons,

Even those seniors in the Ashen Parasol Sect realm, there is something about them that cannot be hidden from her eyes.

Only this Kong Jiao, when Huangfu Wuqin used her eyesight for the first time, she felt that she could not see through his sea of ​​consciousness at all, as if there was a curtain similar to the night sky that blocked her eyesight.

Of course, this was not the reason for guiding Kong Jiao this time.

"If we don't go through, Shangguan Yuzhou will die. If there weren't so many swordsmen in the inner and outer sects, I wouldn't care if just one of them fell into the eyes of Master Dong Immortal."

When Kong Jiao arrived at the location marked on Huangfu Wuqin's map, it was already midnight in the afternoon.

After driving for half a day and crossing hundreds of miles of mountain roads, a messy depression appeared in his field of vision.

The depression has a radius of about two to three miles.

This place was originally supposed to be an environment of lush vegetation, but now there is an area where the vegetation has been destroyed by some force and is overwhelming.

Broken wood and branches covered the ground in the depression.

There are two more auras remaining in it.

A sharp sword energy and a stench full of blood.

It looked like a scene that had experienced a war.

Standing on the edge of the depression, Kong Jiao looked at the destroyed area with an ominous premonition in his heart.

"The breath of this sword energy comes from the hands of Senior Brother Shangguan, and it is definitely not fake. To be able to force him to this point, I think he has encountered a strong enemy, so don't let anything happen." After silently chanting, Kong Jiao jumped up. Jump into the depression and rush towards the center where countless vegetation has been cut down.

As he got closer, Kong Jiao saw some blood stains remaining at the scene.

This made him even more uneasy, and he immediately started searching along the traces of blood.

A corpse was found among piles of branches and leaves.

He was wearing bloody clothes, his face was already bloody, and his body was covered with dense sword marks.

The fatal blow was on his chest. The wound was deeply visible, and the internal organs and bones inside could still be vaguely seen.

From the long-coagulated flesh and blood, Kong Jiao sensed Shangguan Yuzhou's sword energy that had not yet dissipated.

"Wheel-Nurturing Seventh Realm is indeed a formidable enemy. Senior Brother Shangguan can actually kill him." Looking at the body of the Blood Clothes Alliance disciple, Kong Jiao said with a bit of disbelief.

His ability to kill Dou Xiao was all due to the blessing of the Moon Wheel Seal, which forcibly raised his cultivation level to the sixth realm of Wheel-Nurturing.

Cooperating with the domineering spirit of frost and snow, it succeeded.

Shangguan Yuzhou, who had not yet received the Spirit Wheel, was able to kill a Wheel-Nurturing seventh-level person with the fifth-level cultivation of Wheel-Nurturing. This really shocked Kong Jiao.

But it seems that after Shangguan Yuzhou killed this Blood Clothes Alliance disciple, he himself was not having a good time.

Among the blood stains left at the scene, it was obvious that some belonged to the second person, and the bright red color almost covered the surrounding area.

"The corpse has started to stink, at least for three days." Kong Jiao sniffed the smell of corpse wafting from the corpse and made a simple analysis.

"Senior Brother Shangguan shed so much blood, he must not be able to go far. Look around here."

With this thought, Kong Jiao covered the body again and walked quickly through the jungle in the depression, trying to find traces of Shangguan Yuzhou.

Finally, I saw a few drops of dried blood remaining on the southeast side of the depression.

Searching along the blood trail, I saw a shoe sticking out of the cave in the cliff wall of the depression, which belonged to Shangguan Yuzhou.

I don't know if this beast cave is the residence of wild dogs or foxes, but it exudes a strong odor.

The size of the cave entrance was impossible for an adult to pass through, so Shangguan Yuzhou went in completely lying on his stomach.

It seems that the situation was very urgent at that time, and a man as proud as Shangguan Yuzhou could actually commit himself to crawling into a dog hole.

Kong Jiao walked quickly to the exit of the beast's cave, reached out and grabbed the exposed shoes, and pulled the person inside out.

It turned out to be Shangguan Yuzhou.

It's just that he has lost consciousness now, and most of the clothes on his upper body are broken, revealing bloody wounds.

It seemed as if he had been bombarded from the front by some fierce Taoist magic.

Kong Jiao quickly stretched out his hand to detect his breathing. Although it was very weak, he was definitely still alive.

"Phew! I still have energy and can live!"

Shangguan Yuzhou's luck is strong, but Kong Jiao actually doesn't think his life is in danger deep down.

Therefore, this result did not exceed his expectations.

After taking a breath of relief, Kong Jiao didn't waste any time. He carried Shangguan Yuzhou on his back, pointed in a direction, and disappeared into the depression in a few jumps.

Soon after Kong Jiao's figure left.

A middle-aged man with a resolute face and a sharp profile appeared out of thin air next to the beast cave where Shangguan Yuzhou had just hidden.

His hands were lowered on his sides, and he was not carrying any weapons, but just standing there gave people a sharp and sharp feeling.

After he appeared, his unwavering eyes stared at the direction where Kong Jiao disappeared, motionless and not knowing what he was thinking about.

After a moment's rest, his clear voice sounded.

"Come out, I've seen you before."

The voice echoed, and the depression was silent. There was obviously no one around, and no one knew who he was talking to.

Until there was a ripple like water in the shadow of the dense forest, and a pretty figure walked out, bringing with it a light fragrance.

"Uncle Dong Immortal Master, why do you always find me? I obviously hide it so well." Huangfu Wuqin looked at the man in front of him, his little face full of annoyance.

Judging from her tone, it was not the first time she had played such a trick in front of this man.

"Didn't your father tell you? The hundred feet in front of me is a restricted area." The man who was transformed into Dongxian by Huangfu Wuqin explained calmly: "Don't talk about you, no one in the entire Ashen Parasol Sect can hide from me at this distance. "

"Master Dong Immortal is worthy of being the strongest person in our Ashen Parasol Sect. Even my father said that even if a person like you walks out of Wudong, he can still intimidate an existence." Huangfu Wuqin sincerely sighed. , his dark eyes looked at the man in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Don't flatter me. If you have anything to say, just say it. I watched you grow up, so you can't hide this little trick from me." A rare smile appeared on Dongxian's serious face.

"You only have your eye on Shangguan Yuzhou? I think Kong Jiao is not bad either. It won't be a good idea to keep them together when you enter the inner door." Huangfu Wuqin finally showed his fox tail, with a rare cunning look in his eyes.

"Kong Jiao? Is that the boy just now?" Dongxian understood, but his expression remained indifferent.

"He is indeed good, but he lacks the 'crazy' energy. Like your father, he can enter Sword Dao, but he cannot reach the heights of Shangguan Yuzhou."

"Alas!" Huangfu Wuqin shook his head, obviously having a headache about Dongxian's standards.

Huangfuying meant that Dongxian should accept two more apprentices so that his inheritance would not go to waste.

But Dongxian still has no disciples so far. There are several named disciples, but none of them can catch his eye.

Shangguan Yuzhou is the only one Dongxian likes.

After thinking about this, Huangfu Wuqin didn't think much, and immediately asked Dongxian: "The man named Shangguan Yuzhou has realized the Sword Intent. Do you think he can inherit your mantle?"

"It depends on whether he can survive this time. If he can cross this hurdle, he can enter the hall and become a disciple of my mantle." After speaking, Dongxian paused, but his expression was still so cold.

"If he dies, it will prove that I have no master-disciple relationship with him."
