Chapter 549 Yuanying Game
When Song Qingming and Zhao Menglian heard what Jin Ziyuan suddenly said, although they were slightly embarrassed, they didn't show much surprise.
After all, this world of immortality respects the strong. If you want to win the respect of others, the most important thing is to look at the monk's own cultivation strength.
Although the fake elixir monks can barely be considered as successful elixir masters, their own strength is far inferior to that of the real golden elixir monks because they cannot refine their own magic weapons. Jin Ziyuanhui looks down on fake elixir monks like Hu Tianren, and he actually does not do so in the world of immortal cultivation. What a strange thing.
Many Xiaoyao Sect Jindan elders, including Song Qingming himself, are usually willing to be on an equal footing with fake elixir monks like Hu Tianren, just because they all belong to the same sect.
"Junior Brother Song, don't worry. I rejected Junior Brother Hu directly yesterday. Even Junior Sister Xu wanted to go, but I didn't dare to agree. Junior Brother Hu's cultivation will be of little use to us. What if he is inside?" If something happens, I'm afraid the head brother will still criticize us in the future."
Seeing that Song Qingming asked about Hu Tianren as soon as he came in, knowing that he might be worried that he would agree to the other party, Zhao Mengli hurriedly explained to Song Qingming.
"Senior Sister Zhao is saying that I heard before that Junior Brother Hu and the Head Senior Brother seemed to have some relationship, so I was a little worried about this matter. It was our first time to go to the Babel Tower, and it was difficult for us to protect ourselves. It was indeed a bit difficult to protect ourselves. It's hard to take care of him." After confirming that Zhao Menglian had rejected the other party, Song Qingming felt a little relieved.
Part of the reason why Hu Tianren was selected by the Xiaoyao Sect to support him in forming the fake elixir was because he was a direct descendant of Yao Qianshu, the head of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Yao Qianshu was very affectionate with his Taoist companion back then, and he was able to form elixirs successfully. The Taoist companion also did a lot for him. Unfortunately, not long after, while performing a sect mission, his Unfortunately, this Taoist monk died outside and failed to successfully form the elixir.
After the Taoist companions who supported each other died, Yao Qianshu has not been looking for a new Taoist companion for so many years. She has always taken good care of her original Hu family, and later supported Hu Tianren to form a fake elixir.
Although Song Qingming and others look down on Hu Tianren, they still respect Yao Qianshu, the head of the sect for many years, and they must still worry about his face. If something unexpected happens if they bring this person in, they will be in Yao Qianshu when he comes back. It is indeed difficult to explain the technique here.
"Alas! Junior Brother Song is overly humble. Your current cultivation level has reached the third level of the Golden Core. In addition, you also have a Golden Core Corpse Puppet. Your fighting skills are no longer inferior to those of an average mid-Jin Core cultivator.
The two of us, together with Senior Sister Zhao, can still fight even if we face ordinary late-stage Jindan cultivators. As long as we don't take the initiative to enter the fourth level, we shouldn't encounter any danger. "
In the last battle at Iron Immortal Castle, Song Qingming's performance was not outstanding among the many Jindan monks. Although it was not very impressive, his own strength had been recognized by Jin Ziyuan and others.
Especially after seeing the "Golden Wind" summoned by Song Qingming, except for Chen Xuanfeng who had already known about it, Jin Ziyuan and others were also slightly surprised at the time. They did not expect that Song Qingming had such a powerful trump card hidden in him.
Because of this, when Song Qingming approached him a year ago and wanted to go to the "Babel Tower" together, Zhao Mengli and Jin Ziyuan were very happy after knowing his intention and quickly agreed to the matter.
Except for Chu Fengping who was ordered by Li Mufeng to stay behind the sect, among the remaining Jindan elders of Xiaoyao Sect, only Lu Boyang and Song Qingming were the only ones who had the strength to enter the Tongtian Tower.
Because Lu Boyang had recently gained some enlightenment during his cultivation, he had been practicing in seclusion for the past few years and had no intention of going to the "Tongtian Tower".
Zhao Mengli and Jin Ziyuan failed to invite Lu Boyang several times. Even if Song Qingming didn't take the initiative to come to their door, they already had the idea to go to Tuoyun Mountain to find Song Qingming.
Although in the past few years, Zhao Mengli and Jin Ziyuan have each found a casual cultivator friend outside who is willing to accompany them, but after all, the "Babel Tower" is no better than other places, and it is natural to find one more companion with similar strength. A little more protection.
What's more, Song Qingming still belongs to the same sect as them. To Zhao Mengli and Jin Ziyuan, Song Qingming is half their own, and is naturally much more trustworthy than the ordinary casual cultivator friends they find outside.
Five days later, a colorful glow shone in the northern part of Liang Kingdom.
After nearly a month, the colorful rays of light in the sky are now much more dazzling than before. If the monks with extraordinary eyesight are above the Golden Core stage, they can already see a faint shadow in it, as if there is something. It looked like something huge was coming out of it.
Since the news of the emergence of the "Babel Tower" spread, shield lights can be seen flying from everywhere here every day. Not only has it attracted many high-level monks, but also many foundation-building and Qi-refining institutions in the Liang Kingdom. Many low-level monks from this period also gathered here.
However, these monks here are also clearly divided into regions according to their level of cultivation. Standing on a few hills not far from Xiaguang, the gatherings are basically monks with a cultivation level above the Golden Core stage.
Those low-level monks who only had foundation building and Qi refining skills could only stand in a circle on the outside, looking at the high-level monks in the middle with envy from a distance.
On this day, high in the sky in the east, a green light suddenly came quickly and landed directly on a mountain peak near the middle.
A moment later, a small cyan flying boat appeared in an open space on the top of the mountain, and seven figures slowly emerged. It was the Xiaoyao Sect and his party who had just arrived from tens of thousands of miles away from the Liang Kingdom.
There were originally a few casual cultivators of the Golden Core stage who occupied this open space. When they saw Li Mufeng, the Yuanying monk, and everyone from the Xiaoyao Sect, their expressions immediately changed and they bowed their hands to everyone. , stayed away from here very wisely, and gave this open space to Li Mufeng and the others.
Song Qingming and others who had just stepped off the flying boat saw for the first time the huge colorful light flashing in the sky, and they all showed shock on their faces. The huge movement in this secret realm was indeed beyond their original expectations. Imagine.
Only Li Mufeng, who had once entered the "Tongtian Tower", glanced at it with a normal expression and quickly turned his gaze elsewhere to check out the other high-level monks on the mountain.
"I haven't seen you Daoist friend Li for many years. I am polite here."
Not long after everyone from Xiaoyao Sect arrived here, an old man wearing Taoist robes with white hair and long beard suddenly appeared in front of them and slightly arched his hand towards Li Mufeng who was standing in front.
This old man looked like a kind-hearted old man, but the powerful aura exuding from him was no less than that of Li Mufeng, who was standing in front of everyone. He was obviously also a monk in the Nascent Soul stage.
Behind this old man, there were three Jindan monks with a high level of cultivation. One of them was Cheng Bufan, a monk from the Lingyin Sect whom Song Qingming had met in Wu State before.
Almost twenty years have passed since the Star Conference parted. Cheng Bufan's cultivation has been further advanced than before to reach the ninth level of the Golden Core. He is only one step away from entering the Nascent Soul realm that is admired by thousands of people.
Seeing Cheng Bufan standing behind the veteran Taoist with a respectful look on his face, Song Qingming immediately guessed that the Nascent Soul monk with a high level of cultivation in front of him should be the only Yuanying stage elder of Lingyin Sect. Situ Yan.
Sure enough, when Li Mufeng saw the old white-haired Taoist, he immediately came to him with a smile, raised his hands and returned the greeting: "Fellow Taoist Situ is farther away than me. I didn't expect that your Lingyin Sect got here before me. It seems that brother I am very well prepared this time.”
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Li is joking. Fellow Daoist Zheng and the others haven't come here yet. It seems that it will take some time for the Babel Tower to be opened. If Fellow Daoist Li is free, how about playing a game of chess with me."
"There is nothing wrong with the left and right, so it would be disrespectful for me to refuse!"
Li Mufeng had just nodded in agreement. Cheng Bufan, who was standing behind Situ Yan, immediately took out a chessboard carved from a single piece of jade from the storage instrument on his body, placed it between the two of them, and placed it respectfully. A set of very exquisite chess boxes was carefully placed aside.
Then the other two Jindan monks from the Lingyin Sect beside Situ Yan also took out the futons, sandalwood and other items needed to play chess. Apparently they had been prepared for it.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please invite me!" After Cheng Bufan and others were ready, Situ Yan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, then sat directly on the edge of the chessboard, grabbed a handful of white chess pieces and placed them on the table.
The two Nascent Soul masters played chess, and naturally they quickly attracted many Jindan cultivators who were following them. Even those Jindan cultivators who had been far away from here also came closer when they saw this scene.
Although these people did not dare to get too close like Song Qingming and others, facing this rare opportunity to see the Nascent Soul Monk chess game, these people really did not want to miss it. Even if they stood a little further away, their faces were full of confusion. With a hint of excitement, he expected to learn something useful from these Nascent Soul cultivators.
Li Mufeng and Situ Yan started playing a game of chess normally, but after just a dozen moves, the speed of their moves quickly slowed down and became slower and slower.
This game of chess soon made Song Qingming, who was watching the chess, feel something and noticed something strange in it.
From this chess game, Song Qingming seemed to see his own way of cultivation. When he first entered the Tao, he practiced very quickly, but as he went on, it gradually became more and more difficult, and his own cultivation speed also slowly slowed down. . (End of chapter)
