Chapter 162 Returning Home [Additional update for the leader of ‘an accidentally cheated’ alliance]

"What's the matter?"

It's not that Tu Shanjun doesn't understand the ways of the world, at least Ding Xie has accompanied him to Yangcheng.

Moreover, the matter of finding someone was also put on the agenda. Ding Xie could not be allowed to stay in Yangcheng all the time.

Not to mention anything else, Wanfa Sect can't explain it either.

So when he heard that Ding Xie wanted to discuss something, Tu Shanjun put away the objects for making talismans.

If something happened and they had to leave, the two of them would definitely leave together.

The soul flag requires mana from the flag owner to make it appear.

The further the distance, the more mana is consumed, so the two of them definitely cannot be separated too far apart.

Seeing that Tu Shanjun attached so much importance, Ding Xie did not hide anything and said, "That's it. I have been away from home for a long time. I have to go home and send a message to my family."

"Not far away, there is a spirit boat. It can reach the family in more than a month."

"Beiluo Valley, Ding family."

The purpose of going on this faraway mission was to go home, so Ding Xie didn't want to give up going home to visit relatives because of other things.

He hasn't been back for a long time, and he doesn't know if his home is still well.

"Without any further delay, let's set off immediately."

Hearing Tu Shanjun's words, Ding Xie couldn't help but smile in surprise: "Is it so sudden? Are you leaving now?"

He didn't expect Tushanjun to be so resolute and decisive, without being sloppy at all.

They thought that they would discuss it and maybe even have differences, and the two of them said that there would be some conflicts.

Tu Shanjun just glanced at Ding Xie indifferently.

The banner master is the one in charge, and he rarely interferes with the choices of the banner master he recognizes.

Moreover, returning home is also a big deal for Tu Shanjun.

It’s hard to have a vacation to visit family, but you can’t let other things keep dragging you down.

There's no rush to find someone.

As long as there is news and it is clear that Hou Boxu's family has been found, Zi Shaoqing will definitely protect them.

"Walk."

Tu Shanjun did not hesitate, but still unfolded the paper and began to edit the book with his pen.

The two left the city overnight.

Yangcheng under the dark night looks like a huge mountain city.

Thousands of lights are twinkling, so beautiful.

I have to admit that in this aura environment, from a bird's eye view from the sky, Yangcheng is really like a fairy abode, very beautiful.

You can still see the monks even at night.

The escaping light of the foundation-building monk flickered slightly and then disappeared with its tail trailing.

I often see groups of Qi practitioners walking around.

Either wielding a sword or running towards the mountains.

With the blessing of a large-scale covering formation, mortals will be confused by the formation as soon as they get close to it, and then return to the original path, or unconsciously take a detour without worrying about being disturbed.

Ding Xie released the spirit boat, and with the help of his magic power, the spirit boat grew stronger in the wind.

Place the spirit stone on the formation and activate the spirit boat.

The small spirit boat suddenly turned into light and disappeared.

The high mountains in the distance are like giant beasts lying prone on the ground. The ancient trees and forests block the light, making it even darker. The cries of unknown spirits can often be heard, and they disappear in the blink of an eye.

After drawing two runes in succession, Ding Xie's mana speeded up the spirit boat.

Riding the wind and driving the boat.

It turned into light and disappeared into the vast night.

"My family lives in Beiluo Valley. It is considered a medium-sized family. We usually have large-scale spirit boats to transport spirit rice crops."

"But the speed of that thing is too slow. It can't compare with flying with a sword, let alone a small speed spirit boat."

Ding Xie was eager to return home. After opening the spirit boat, he regained his former expression, and his words were a little more excited.

Returning home is exciting for everyone.

For the past ten years, Tu Shanjun has also wondered whether he could ever go home, which only added to his worries.

As time goes by, the impression of home becomes more and more blurred.

Listening to Ding Xie's talk about Beiluo Valley, Tushanjun didn't have much reaction.

He took out the essence of alchemy and the prescription of Qi Condensation Pill from his mouth, and then started to figure it out.

Over the course of a month, Tushanjun became a little more irritable.

His control over alchemy was problematic, not his understanding of the steps and pharmacology of the elixir.

With his foundation-building powerful spirit, he could recite medicinal principles in no time.

The most problematic step is the flame.

Tu Shanjun had not mastered the magic of fire before. Ding Xie taught him the thunder fire seal, and the condensed thunder fire was an explosive flame, which was extremely unstable inside.

If it is simply used as a spell, it will definitely be fine, but if it is used to make elixirs, the furnace will explode frequently.

I did this several times and almost blew up the spirit boat from the sky.

Ding Xie was so nervous that he stopped practicing hard. He was also afraid that while he was practicing, the alchemy furnace next to him suddenly exploded.

Being injured by a bomb is a trivial matter, but if it goes too far, it will be troublesome.

Tu Shanjun also stopped experimenting with alchemy. He had to find a way to get a stable elixir fire and refine it into a portable flame.

Using magical flames to refine elixirs in ten furnaces and nine explosions, the ones that don't explode can only produce a pile of black dregs.

"Brother Tu, if we can't do it, let's draw the talisman. This alchemy..." Ding Xie put on a smile and sat on the farthest side of the spirit boat.

Tu Shanjun put away the alchemy furnace and said calmly: "There is no alchemy fire."

"That's right, that's right, it's about the alchemy fire." Ding Xie quickly agreed, while cursing in his heart: "Using the Thunder Fire Seal is not alchemy at all, it's about developing a new technique, right?"

Scarlet eyes glanced lightly, without further explanation. After Tu Shanjun's many tests, the thunder and fire seal method was indeed not effective.

The alchemy furnace is also about to be scrapped. The first-level one cannot withstand the tossing and needs to be replaced with a second-level one.

Cultivation of immortality requires huge resources to accumulate.

Alchemy furnaces, medicinal herbs, and prescriptions are all consumables, and require a high level of proficiency.

If an ordinary monk wants to become an alchemist, unless his alchemy qualifications are so strong that he can be fed by God, he will be dragged to death in this industry.

In comparison, Talisman can be slightly better.

Talisman arrays are not divided into different families. If you just rely on making talismans, you will just make a living in this life.

Although there were no blind people trying to rob them on the road, in Ding Xie's opinion, Tu Shanjun refining elixirs was more terrifying than robbing them.

Finally, we arrived at the door of our house.

Beiluo Valley.

Relying on the establishment of Luoshan Mountain, with beautiful mountains and clear waters,

There is a second-level mid-grade spiritual vein underground. Over the years, the family has been accumulating spiritual stones to take the spiritual vein one step further.

It would be faster if we could extract the spiritual veins from the land of no owner, but unfortunately, all spiritual veins must have an owner, even the first-order low-grade ones cannot be extracted.

The auction house has sold this thing before, and every time it was sold at a sky-high price.

"Senior, what's the matter here?"

The disciples guarding the mountain hurriedly came up to greet him, but they were not afraid. They bowed their hands and asked loudly.

Of course, you will always be nervous when you see Senior Foundation Establishment. Even if you have perfected Qi Refining and met Senior Foundation Establishment, you will not be able to calm down.

In addition to having a particularly good relationship, those who are experts in the spiritual world are seniors.

Although they look young, they may have lived for hundreds of years, while some monks who have gone through vicissitudes of life may only be in their twenties or thirties, and they are disgraced from struggling to make a living.

"My name is Ding Xie, and I am the third eldest in my generation. I have no seniority, so I have a two-character name." Ding Xie explained and also told his origin.

In families, seniority is generally used for continuation. This is also a means of uniting the family and improving cohesion.

Moreover, the children of monks may not necessarily have the qualifications to practice, so the mortals with the qualifications to practice were selected from the huge mortal city at the foot of the mountain.

After the qualifications are tested, they go up the mountain, change their names and surnames, and then use the names of their generation.

It's just that Ding Xie was quite rebellious when he was young, so he gave himself such a name.

"Uncle, the junior Ding Shanwu, the ancestor Ding Dunsheng."

"My eldest brother's child."

Ding Xie was surprised, then took out a spiritual stone and threw it to Ding Shanwu: "Take it to play with."

"Uncle, can I help you report?"

"No need, you just guard the mountain. I still recognize your family."

Ding Xie didn't make any fuss and walked past Ding Shanwu towards his home.

The appearance of the foundation-building cultivator in the family certainly caused quite a stir, not to mention that he was still a new face. The matter was quickly reported to the ears of the senior officials of the Ding family through the younger generation.

Tu Shanjun has already returned to Soul Banner. It's a good thing that Ding Xie returns home. He doesn't seem like a good person, so there is no need to follow him.

Moreover, when you appear outside, you have to talk to and socialize with people. Tu Shanjun doesn't have that much to think about, so he might as well return to Soul Banner to continue studying his unfinished alchemy method.

Searching for the door of his house according to his memory, Ding Xie stretched out his hand but did not push it away.

He stood still for a while before walking into the house.

There is a large locust tree in the courtyard. When he was a child, he once went up to it and took out bird eggs, and was beaten frequently for doing so.

It's a long way to go to become a disciple, and it's been twenty or thirty years since we've been apart.

When I come back, the locust tree remains the same.

Looking at the big tree in front of him, he suddenly remembered the locust flower cake made by his mother.

There was an old woman sitting in the courtyard, soaking the spiritual talisman paper. She cut the large talisman paper with a jade knife and divided it into piles.

Ding Xie looked at the old man and didn't dare to recognize him.

Because his mother was a monk, she was not like this when he left. Why were his parents already old after just so many years?

"Mom." Ding Xie shouted.

The woman who was cutting the talisman paper looked up, her face full of surprise and expectation, her eyes moist: "Three Treasures?"

"Is it you Sambo?"

"it's me."

"Mom, I'm back." Ding Xie nodded.

"Come on, come in quickly. Your father hasn't come back yet. He will be very happy to see you back."

"Mom, is there something wrong with your body?"

Ding Xie did not move, but used his magic power to feel his pulse.

As soon as he got started, his expression turned gloomy. Not only had his mother's cultivation not improved, but it had actually regressed over the years.

There is a deficit in the source, and the most important organs are aging quickly.

Either he has encountered a life-and-death crisis and over-squeezed his vitality, or his practice has gone too far, or he has been eroded by evil spirits.

It's not normal aging anyway.

If this trend continues, his mother will die of physical failure in less than ten years.

"how so!"

Ding Xie put the mana in the foundation building stage in the hope of protecting his organs, but the mana in the foundation building stage only delayed the failure.
