Chapter 368: Greed abounds, they part ways!
Feihua City, Qingfeng Inn.
A furnace of calming and refreshing incense burns quietly on the table, and the fragrance curls up.
On the bed, a fairy-like old man wearing black and white clothes was sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating with his eyes closed.
As the old man breathed in and out, he could see the colors on his clothes moving like clouds and mist in the mountains.
For a while, there was more white, gradually pushing the black to the corner, and for a while, the black was saturated with white, spreading towards the whole body.
The two colors of black and white kept entangled and pulled, but they were unable to completely drive away the opponent.
As time goes by, the refreshing incense of meditation has burned out.
At this time, an extra layer of blood appeared on the old man's clothes.
For a moment, the three colors were mixed and chaotic, and the color on the clothes gradually turned gray, and then turned to black.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A sudden knock on the door woke the old man up. As he opened his eyes, the color of his clothes quickly disappeared and turned into the original white.
"Enter!"
"Squeak!"
The door opened, and Feng Bujing came in with his lips curled up.
"I said, Old Chentou, you don't practice cultivation, and you don't delve into the immortal patterns. You just sit here all day long, and you don't want to help me protect the law, right? I've been through this calamity, and three waves have come one after another. People, if they hadn’t mistakenly thought I was a big demon, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to come back!”
"Hmph, after following the seniors and gaining so many blessings, if you still need me to protect you even for a mere catastrophe, then you might as well just die!"
Chen Yulou closed his eyes again.
Feng Bujing sat at the tea table and couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw a thick layer of incense ash accumulated in the incense burner.
"Or are you, Old Chen, so arrogant? Others treat Jingxin Qingliangxiang like a treasure, but you, Old Chen, just do it for fun?"
Seeing that Chen Yulou didn't pay attention, he continued talking on his own.
"Now that my journey through the tribulation is over, you have also been sitting in meditation in your room for three months. What do you think? Have you thought clearly about whether you should go our separate ways or go back to Nanzhou with me?"
"Oh?" Chen Yulou opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows, a cold light shot out of his eyes. This look made Feng Bujing, who had just broken through to the Void Refining, feel chilled.
"You are alone. It's not the same no matter where you stay. Why, do you want to go to the Jade Box to find Li Zhi of the Canglan Sect? Use your senior to pressure me?"
Feng Bujing heard this, and the corners of his mouth curved, then gradually widened, and he burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, Chen Yulou, you are greedy and blind. You are like this. Not to mention meditating for three months, you have been like this for three years.
There are just two choices, one is to take the jade box for oneself, and the other is to return to Nanzhou and hand it over to Li Zhi.
If you don’t have this bit of determination, you’ve been practicing for so many years in vain! "
"Humph!" Chen Yulou's face turned cold. The window outside the window suddenly turned black, and the whole room seemed to be dug out of Feihua City in an instant.
"What do you know? You are so rude and you really think I won't take action against you?"
"Hahaha, your cultivation has returned to the Cave Mystic Realm. It's amazing! You're so tough when you speak!
The ancestor of the dignified Mountain Moving Sect, if you want to take action against me, a casual cultivator in the Void Refining Realm, just come directly, why bother talking nonsense? "
"Oh? You know?"
"Just say it, do you really think I'm a fool?"
Feng Bujing saw Chen Yulou's body suddenly burst out with a terrifying pressure, his face alternated between black and white, his eyes were white and black, and he looked extremely ferocious.
"Let me go, is this old man really going to take action against me?" He originally wanted to encourage Chen Yulou with words to help Chen Yulou control his greed.
But he has not yet entered Taoism, how could he know the horror of this inner demon? Doing so is counterproductive.
Feng Bujing stood up from the chair. With the golden light flowing around him, the beds, chairs and furniture in the room instantly turned into powder. A strong pressure fell on him, forcing him to use his strength to resist.
"It's over, Old Chen is going crazy!" His heart was shocked, and he saw Chen Yulou wave his hand.
Feng Bujing's heart rang with alarm bells. He was about to use his domain and rush out from here, but the imagined attack did not come.
Instead, Jiang You's jade box appeared in front of him.
"Take the jade box away, return it to Nanzhou and give it to Li Zhi, and you and I will part ways!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the jade box lost its strength and fell downwards. Feng Bujing immediately raised his hand to catch it.
When he looked up, Chen Yulou on the bed was gone, and the sunlight outside the window was shining down again.
"Left? No, escaped!"
Feng Bujing was stunned for a while. He never expected that Chen Yulou would do such an almost evasive behavior.
He grabbed the jade box and immediately felt the Taoist charm wrapped around it, and his heart skipped a beat.
"The box is wrapped with Taoist charms. What could be inside? Could it be the elixir?" He couldn't help but want to open the jade box.
The other hand was already on it, and he felt that there was no restriction and the existence of the seal. As long as he exerted force, he could easily open it.
"Old Chen has escaped. The jade box is now in my hands. I
"Huh!"
Feng Bujing took a deep breath and immediately put the jade box away.
"Is this how Lao Chen has been feeling in the past three months?" The jade box before was all in Chen Yulou's hands, and was hidden by him, but he was not allowed to see it. At that time, he watched with cold eyes, feeling that it was nothing.
But now it’s in my own hands, under my control, no one is supervising me, I just act according to my own will, and my feelings immediately change!
Fortunately, Feng Bujing hadn't entered Taoism yet, otherwise, just like Chen Yulou, he would have been sown with greed, his Taoist heart would be unstable, and he would be in danger of going crazy.
Things in the world are so interesting. The truth is not that the more you know, the better. Many times, not knowing is actually safer!
After Feng Bujing collected the jade box, he forced himself not to think too much, threw a piece of chalcedony on the table, and then turned around and left the place.
"Alas!"
As soon as Feng Bujing left, a sigh came from the room.
Chen Yulou, who had disappeared, appeared on the bed again, his movements unchanged, as if he had never left.
He looked ahead with a complicated expression.
"Senior, knowing my greed, why did you choose to hand over the jade box to me instead of letting Feng Bujing take charge and let me supervise it? Is it just to draw out my inner demons?
Senior's last sentence, becoming an immortal does not mean attaining enlightenment. Senior let me choose.
The senior is a person who seeks Taoism, and I am a person who seeks immortality. Why do you have to ask me to choose!
Of course I want to become an immortal! I have given my all to this and put everything on the line! "
"My jade box, my immortal destiny, damn it, Feng Bujing stole my immortal destiny and ran away, seeking death!"
Chen Yulou's seriousness had turned red at this time, showing signs of madness.
He was about to catch up with Feng Bujing, kill him, and take back the jade box!
At this moment, suddenly, two chess pieces, one black and one white, appeared.
"boom!"
The two chess pieces rushed directly into his mind and fell onto the bed. Immediately, the crazy color in Chen Yulou's eyes slowly faded and turned pure white.
"What happened to me just now? I lost my mind? What happened to me? Fortunately, there is an automatic guardian of the immortal weapon, which can suppress my madness."
Just when he thought of this, one of his eyes suddenly turned black again.
He re-entered the tangle and struggle he had at the beginning.
“I have already handed over the jade box to Feng Bujing and made the instructions at the same time, so I have not violated the words of my senior.
After that, if Feng Bujing is unable to protect the jade box and it is taken away by others, he will not care about me.
And when I kill that man and take the jade box back from his hand, it's another cause and effect! "
While muttering to himself, Chen Yulou revealed the real reason why he asked Feng Bujing to take away the jade box.
He stood up from the bed, his clothes had turned gray, his hair was disheveled, and when he took a step forward, formations shimmered under his feet.
At that moment, the person disappeared.
Canglan City, inn.
Li Zhi sat on the bed and meditated with his eyes closed. After the sky outside completely darkened, he opened his eyes and looked at the door of the room.
The person I was waiting for still didn’t show up.
"AlasDid something happen again?" Li Zhi sighed.
He and Jiang You had made an appointment for a year when they killed the three corpses, and they met in this room.
The agreed time has already passed two days.
He sat in the room for three days in a row, but before Jiang You arrived, he knew that he would never make it.
"Is it because he can't come, or because he doesn't want to see me anymore?"
Li Zhi rubbed his eyebrows, feeling depressed.
"I had underestimated the method of killing three corpses before. I thought that as long as I became enlightened again, I would be able to kill one person. No matter how we changed, as long as the Dao remained unchanged, the outside world would not be able to affect me, so I would not be able to do anything. There will be a backlash coming.
Now it seems that it is as simple as I thought! "
He got up from the bed and walked out of the inn.
There was a group of Canglan Sect inner disciples waiting outside. When they saw him coming down, they all stood up immediately.
"Senior Brother Li!"
"Um!"
Gao Ce stepped forward and said: "Brother, we have been waiting for three days. The other elders and senior brothers have already set off. The sect is also urging us."
"Okay, the person I'm waiting for won't come, so we can set off!" Li Zhi said with a somewhat lonely look.
Gao Ce had never seen this kind of emotion appear in Li Zhi, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, "Senior brother did not hesitate to forcefully postpone the sect's mission and wait for three days. Who is it that senior brother values so much?" Couldn't that be a woman?"
When the other inner disciples heard Li Zhi's words, their faces suddenly showed joy.
In the past few days, they had been waiting for a long time. All the major forces in the North had swarmed away. They were forced to hold down Li Zhi for three days, and their days were like years. If it were later, they might have finished carving up the fortune, and they themselves The others couldn't even drink the soup.
Li Zhi looked at the person standing in the dark corner, the innkeeper who had been serving tea to the inner disciples and counting down the days.
"Gao Ce, pay the bill!"
"yes!"
"Sir, no need. It's a great blessing for us that you all can come to our inn. It's too late to be happy, so how can we still collect money?"
Gao Ce ignored the shopkeeper and slapped a small piece of spiritual jade on the table.
Immediately, everyone followed Li Zhi out of the inn.
Outside the door, a huge white jade spaceship was suspended above the inn.
This spaceship belongs to the Canglan Sect and is distributed to its disciples to carry out long-distance missions, so it doesn't matter if it is suspended in the outer city.
Everyone moved and flew into the spaceship.
There were still a few disciples left behind. When they saw everyone getting on the boat, they still didn't understand what it meant.
The originally depressed and irritable face suddenly burst into laughter.
"Brother!"
"Let's go, go to the Xuanyuan Mountains and meet up with the sect!"
"yes!"
Li Zhi gave an order, and several disciples immediately took control of the spacecraft. Immediately, the huge spaceship turned around in the air, white mist appeared on the hull, and it accelerated out of the city.
"Leaving?" The residents of the outer city in the city poked their heads out of the door and looked at the spaceship in the sky.
What they were looking at now was not just the spaceship, but the sky of Canglan City!
After the spaceship left the city, its hull glowed with white light.
"boom!"
After a loud noise, it suddenly turned into a white light and pierced the sky.
After the spacecraft started, the disciples went to the rooms in the cabin to rest.
Only Gao Ce and Li Zhi were left standing on the deck.
"Gao Ce, you should go down and rest, I'll think about something alone!"
Gao Ce was a little dumbfounded. What kind of woman would make Senior Brother Li Zhi so melancholy? This woman must be stunningly beautiful, with top-notch life experience and strength.
"How dare you let go of my senior brother, Canglan Sect? Even if this woman is of high status, she is just blind! Oh, I hope senior brother can calm down quickly!"
Gao Ce thought, leaving Li Zhi alone on the deck.
There is a magic circle light shield around the spacecraft, which not only protects it, but also blocks strong winds.
As the leader of the team, Li Zhi controls all the authority of the spacecraft. With a wave of his long sleeves, the mask of light spreads out on its own.
Suddenly there was a hurricane!
Li Zhi stood upright on the bow of the boat, his clothes were blown backwards, and his black hair was flying messily!
During the period of Li Zhi's training in Canglan Sect, with the cover of previous opportunities, he no longer suppressed his strength excessively.
It can be said that his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, all the way to the peak of Tongzhen Realm.
It only took a year and a half to reach this point. Even the previous reasons were still not enough to convince people.
So Li Zhi did one more thing.
After he became an inner disciple, he learned that the old man in red whom he met when he first broke through the realm was an elder of the Canglan Sect, who was proficient in the art of alchemy.
When he got three pills from his pill furnace, Li Zhi easily found out.
They are, Seventh Transformation Soul Condensing Pill, Qianyuan Golden Pill, and Jiangyun Pill.
The first one is for strengthening the soul, and the last two are pills for improving cultivation.
The quality is extremely high, and they all belong to the underworld realm elixirs.
Li Zhi set up a bureau, directed and acted by himself, buried the Qianyuan Jindan and Jiangyundan in the same place, and set up a ban.
Then he guides others to discover that this place is different, and issues sect missions for him and his disciples to pick up and go together.
In full view of the public, he used the Taixu Cauldron to break the restrictions and obtain the elixir.
Successfully cleared up the origin of the elixir.
After that, the news spread throughout the Canglan Sect, and everyone felt that Li Zhi was simply the son of luck. How could he get such a good fortune by just accepting a sect mission?
This incident also alarmed the old man in red, Liu Xianxian, who had just returned.
Discovering that the elixir turned out to be two of the three that he had lost, he doubted Li Zhi's identity for a moment, but Li Zhi, who had beheaded three corpses, had no trace of Jiang You in his body.
The old man searched for a long time, but couldn't find any clues.
In the end, he had no choice but to make a condition and purchase the elixir. Li Zhi sold the Jiangyundan in exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources. As for the Qianyuan Golden elixir, it was said that the Taixu Ding had the means to produce the medicinal power, allowing him to be in this state. It can be absorbed.
The angry Liu Xianxian ignored his status as an elder in the Mingxuan Realm and scolded him for his waste of natural resources.
Buy and sell forcefully.
Therefore, the great elder came forward and stopped Liu Xianxian.
With the cover of these two pills, Li Zhi's cultivation level soared straight up like a rocket.
This gave him the name of a drug-addicted Taoist, ridiculing him for relying solely on pills for his cultivation. Despite his rapid rise in cultivation, he was actually destroying his future and leaving him hopeless in the underworld!
Later, it started to be said that in addition to his high cultivation level, he actually did not have any combat power. If he was low in strength and broke through to that realm, the bottom line of that realm would be lowered.
Li Zhi didn't care about these rumors until he was promoted to a true disciple.
He set up the arena with the true disciple of the sect and fought for seven days.
Ni Zhen half-stepped into the Void Refining Realm, defeated all the true legends, and proved his strength to the outside world.
The rumor dispelled itself.
Therefore, he was given the title of Senior Brother of the Canglan Sect.
Li Zhi looked at the rapidly receding mountains and rivers under his feet, and recalled that when he first came to Canglan City, he was still sitting in a carriage and walking slowly and leisurely.
"Alas!" He sighed again. During this period, he sighed very frequently. "Bai Yujing, even in the Canglan Sect, has no whereabouts. Jiang You didn't know what happened there, so he came to this world. , it’s been so long, when can I return to Blue Star!” (End of this chapter)
