Chapter 723 An old friend’s head turns white

Lingxu Xiuxian City, the center of the city is the garrison of Lingxu Immortal Sect in Xiuxian City.

Before Lingxu Sect unified the Immortal Realm, the garrison in Lingxu Immortal City was usually guarded by an early-stage Immortal Cultivator who was near the end of his life.

The main reason is that in Lingxu Immortal Cultivation City, most of them are casual cultivators. Rural cultivators are basically those who are cultivating immortals in the Qi refining period. This is not to say that there are no casual cultivators who can build a foundation, but that casual cultivators generally choose to join the Immortal Dao University after building a foundation. Send to obtain immortal cultivation resources at the foundation building level.

Therefore, only one Immortal Cultivator in the early stage of foundation building can stabilize an Immortal Cultivating Town, unless the Demonic Sect comes to attack.

But as Lingxu Sect gave birth to the God-Transforming Lord, and unified the righteous sects of the entire Immortal Realm, Lingxu Immortal City, as a subordinate Xiuxian City of Lingxu Immortal Sect, was close to the mountain gate of Lingxu Immortal Sect. In this way, Lingxu Immortal Cultivation City Xiuxian City becomes very important.

It not only attracts casual cultivators from all major domains, but also foundation builders of righteous cultivating sects from various major domains. They will also come to Lingxu Xiuxian City to open shops and do business, just to be closer to Lingxu Immortal Sect.

To sum up, Lingxu Immortal City is rising with the integration of Lingxu Immortal Sect and the entire Zhengdao sect.

The more central it is, the higher the status of the immortal cultivator living there.

Over the years, Lingxu Immortal Cultivation City has gone through some planning. The most central one is of course the foundation building and garrison location of Lingxu Immortal Sect. There are also some disciples of Lingxu Immortal Sect, which represent the majesty of Lingxu Immortal Sect. At this time, the foundation-building guard is no longer a foundation-building early-stage cultivator, but a ninth-level foundation-building immortal cultivator.

A ring, a second ring, a third ring, and a fourth ring were planned outward from the center, forming a ring and a street around the foundation building garrison.

The immortal cultivators living in the Second Ring Street are basically the foundation-building immortal cultivators of other five sects of the Righteous Path or their descendants, or the immortal cultivators who have the Lingxu Immortal Sect as their backer. In fact, most of these immortal cultivators are not Loose cultivators, but the descendants of important figures in the righteous sect.

This is the case for the descendants of Yize.

In the Second Ring Street, there are two families who are originally from casual cultivators. However, although these two families are from casual cultivators, they also rely on a weapon refiner from the Lingxu Immortal Sect's weapon refining hall, and that This weapon refiner has a noble status and is the direct disciple of the master of the weapon refinement hall.

Even though the Weapon Refining Master of the Weapon Refining Hall rarely comes to Lingxu Immortal City, and it is said that he has not been in Lingxu Immortal Sect these years, no one dares to exclude the casual cultivating families from these two houses. Second Ring Street.

On the contrary, even the ninth-level immortal cultivator who guards Lingxu Immortal Cultivation City is quite polite to these two families.

This kind of politeness made the newly settled Zhuji families from other Second Ring Streets also be polite to these two families and never take the initiative to provoke them.

These two houses are Yu Mansion and Gu Mansion.

In fact, speaking of it, these two families are not considered casual cultivator families. The sons of Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Yu are both foundation-building immortal cultivators of the Lingxu Immortal Sect, and some other children have also entered the Lingxu Immortal Sect. , calculated this way, it seems like the family of Lingxu Immortal Sect in Lingxu Immortal City.

Therefore, in Lingxu Immortal City, no one else really regarded them as casual cultivators, but as an immortal family just like themselves.

This makes other casual cultivators in Lingxu Xiuxian City extremely envious, but they cannot be envious.

Yu Mansion has a large five-story house on the second ring street. There are hundreds of people from four generations of Yu Mansion living in the house, as well as hundreds of domestic servants and hired workers, totaling more than 300 people.

At this time, in the Yu Mansion's special training square, the fourth-generation teenagers of the Yu Mansion were practicing spells in the training square. The Yu Mansion specially invited cultivators in the late stages of Qi refining to come over and teach them.

At this time, a boy of about 10 years old came from the circular arch. The boy was wearing a first-level low-level robe, with red mouth and white teeth, and a very outstanding temperament.

His arrival naturally attracted the attention of these young men from Yufu in the training square, as well as the late Qi Refining Instructor.

"Gu Yan, why are you here?" The young man from the Yu family naturally knew this elegant young man and greeted him quickly.

The teacher who was in the late stage of Qi training also bowed his hands to the young man and said hello: "Master Gu."

This Gu Yan is the 4th generation of the Gu family. He is well-behaved, smart, and talented in cultivation. Therefore, he is deeply loved by Mr. Gu and will take him with him wherever he goes.

His appearance meant that Mr. Gu had come to Yu Mansion.

Sure enough, Gu Yan said: "I came here with my great-grandpa, Qingzhang, let's go, let's continue to compete. I was careless last time, I will definitely beat you this time."

The young man he called Qing Zhang was about the same age as him. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to another courtyard."

Yu Qingzhang spoke to the late Qi Refining Master and left with Gu Yan.

The two young men came to the other courtyard and started to stand up. Yu Qingzhang said with a smile: "Come on, Gu Yan, let me see if your magic has improved during this time?"

Gu Yan hummed and said, "Then you should keep an eye on it."

After saying this, Gu Yan's breath from the second level of Chain Qi came out, and he instantly cast a spell to attack Yu Qingzhang.

"Well done!" Yu Qingzhang shouted and directed his spell at Gu Yan.

The two of them were both at the second level of Qi refining, and they kept going back and forth. For a while, it was difficult to tell the winner. Until they fought for hundreds of rounds, neither of them could tell the winner. Yu Qingzhang felt that the spiritual energy in his Dantian was seriously depleted. He quickly said: "Gu Yan, let's give up. How about we be a draw this time?"

When Gu Yan heard this, he also felt that the spiritual energy in his Dantian was seriously depleted. If he continued to fight with Yu Qingzhang, it would be difficult to tell the winner, so he stopped and said: "Okay, then this time it is a tie. I will definitely win next time." you."

"Then I'll wait." Yu Qingzhang withdrew his spell and said sweating profusely.

"By the way, Qing Zhang, did your Grandpa Yu Shan tell you that after you break through the fourth level of Qi Refining, he will take you to the Lingxu Immortal Sect to practice?" Gu Yan asked.

Yu Qingzhang nodded and said: "This is what Grandpa Yu Shan said in the family letter. He said that when I reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, he would take me to the Lingxu Immortal Sect to practice. Gu Yan, you will go too, and we will be together at that time. It’s good to have a companion to practice in the Lingxu Immortal Sect.”

Gu Yan nodded and said, "Of course I will go. Grandpa Gu Xi told me a long time ago."

At this point, Gu Yan said again: "Qingzhang, let's go, let's go to his grandfather's place."

"good."

Yu Qingzhang nodded and followed Gu Xi to the courtyard where Mrs. Yu Yu Hai lived. The courtyard where Mrs. Yu Yu Hai lived was at the third entrance.

As for the two innermost courtyards, the young men and women of the Yu family live there.

When they came to the courtyard in the third courtyard, they saw two gray-haired old men lying on two deck chairs with a tea table in the middle, chatting and drinking tea.

These two gray-haired old men are Gu Mingsheng, the old man of the Gu family, and Yu Hai, the old man of the Yu family.

Both of them are close to 140 years old.

Moreover, Gu Mingsheng, the old man of the Gu family, used to be an adventurer in the wild. One of his arms was bitten off by a wild beast. His immortal path was flawed and he had stopped cultivating at the late stage of Qi refining. There was no hope of building a foundation.

Yu Hai, the old man of the Yu family, has average qualifications for cultivating immortals and was busy in business in his early years. Although there are abundant cultivation resources, there is still no hope of building a foundation.

The maximum lifespan of a cultivator in the Qi refining stage is 150 years old. It may be a few years later, but it won't be too outrageous.

Over the years, the descendants of the Yu family and the Gu family can feel that the two old ladies, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Gu, are aging quickly.

It is estimated that in just a few years of life, he will return to heaven and earth.

The younger generations of the Yu family and the Gu family also know that the two people that Old Mrs. Yu, Old Mrs. Gu, and Old Mrs. Gu most want to see are the couple of refiners from the Lingxu Immortal Sect.

However, Lingxu Immortal Sect is a big immortal sect, and it is not easy for the immortals inside to go down to the Immortal Cultivation City below. Moreover, according to the second-generation disciples Gu Xi and Yu Shan who are in the Lingxu Immortal Sect, it is also said that the senior Han and his wife are no longer in the Lingxu Immortal Sect, and they don’t know where they went.

Perhaps, Mrs. Yu, Mr. Gu and his wife will never see the senior Han couple until they die.

"Great grandpa, great grandpa."

Yu Qingzhang and Gu Yan ran to Yu Hai and Gu Mingsheng and bowed respectfully.

Yu Hai looked old, lying on the recliner, looking at his favorite great-grandson Yu Qingzhang, and fellow Taoist Gu Mingsheng's favorite great-grandson Gu Yan, and said lovingly: "It turns out it's Qingzhang and Xiaoyan, who is it this time?" Who loses and wins?”

"It should be your family Qingzhang who wins, right?" Gu Mingsheng was lying on a recliner on the other side and said with a smile.

When Gu Yan heard this, he hummed and said: "Grandpa, how can you gain other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? I didn't lose this time. Qingzhang, please tell me, Grandpa, did I lose?"

Yu Qingzhang smiled quickly and said: "Grandpa Gu, this time, I can't win against Gu Yan. Gu Yan and I are tied."

Yu Hai said: "Gu Yan is also good. You should practice hard. After a few years, I will send you to the Lingxu Immortal Sect to practice. Maybe you can become a member of the Lingxu Immortal Sect like your Grandpas Yu Shan and Gu Xi." Foundation-building little master.”

"Yes, Grandpa, Zhang'er must practice hard!" Yu Qingzhang immediately replied obediently.

"Grandpa Yu, Qingzhang and I will never be satisfied with the foundation-building period. We want to become a real person in Jindan, just like that senior Han." Gu Yan said his dream loudly.

"Okay, okay, you are all good. The Yu family and the Gu family depend on you." Yu Hai laughed out loud when he heard what Gu Yan said.

"Okay, you two go and play nearby. Your Grandpa Yu and I have something to talk about." Gu Mingsheng waved to Gu Yan and Yu Qingzhang.

Yu Qingzhang and Gu Yan immediately obediently went aside to play and no longer disturbed the conversation between Gu Mingsheng and Yu Hai.

"Alas, Fellow Daoist Yu, I may not have many years left." Gu Mingsheng sighed.

Hearing this, Yu Hai turned his head and looked at Gu Mingsheng quietly and said, "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, we are all old and about to die of old age."

There was no joy or sorrow in Gu Mingsheng's voice, but he could hear the sigh of time. He said: "Yes, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, we are all almost 140 years old."

"My hair has turned completely white, and my cultivation has begun to regress. This is a sign that the end is approaching."

"The last time I saw Fellow Daoist Han was 22 years ago. Do you think we can survive another 22 years? Can we see Fellow Daoist Han again?"

After hearing Gu Mingsheng's words, Yu Hai also fell silent. The face of his boss also appeared in his mind. That boss was Master Jin Dan, and Master Jin Dan could live for 500 years. For Master Jin Dan, 20 years is just a blink of an eye, but for him and Gu Mingsheng, they are already close to 140 years old and can last up to 10 years.

If we had to wait more than 20 years to see our boss, they might have passed away.

"Perhaps this is how it is on the road to immortality. If you can't keep making progress, you will never see the backs of those who have made progress. My boss is extremely talented. He was already a golden elixir 22 years ago. Maybe bye bye, he has already broken through the Nascent Soul stage."

"It's also possible that I won't have the chance to see my boss again."

Yu Hai also sighed. In the past 10 years, they have felt that their health has become worse and worse, and they feel that their end is approaching. The two old people get together from time to time to recall the past. To tell the truth in their lives, they have descendants in groups, four generations in their house, and many The children of the family successfully joined the Lingxu Immortal Sect and became the foundation-building young master of the Lingxu Immortal Sect. Since then, the family has got rid of its status as a casual cultivator.

However, there are still regrets after all. The regret is that they cannot meet the Han Zhenren who gave them all this.

The Taoist friend that Gu Mingsheng called in the past, and the boss that Yu Hai called.

"If you can let me see my boss again at this moment, it will be worth it for me to die now, and there will be no regrets."

Yu Hai let out a long sigh and said.

Gu Mingsheng nodded in agreement and said, "I miss fellow Daoist Han very much too."

"It's true that the older we get, the easier it is to miss the past. Fellow Daoist Yu, let's hold on for a few more years and see if we can hold on until Senior Han comes back."

"Grandpa, Gu Yan and I are going to find my brother and the others." Yu Qingzhang called at this time.

Yu Hai waved his hand and asked them to leave.

After they left, the two old men were the only ones left in the courtyard. The breeze gently rustled the leaves in the courtyard, and the two old men looked at the sky quietly.

The eyes of the two old men were cloudy. They looked at the sky and felt that the sunlight in the sky had a blurred color. The clouds turned into different shapes. As they looked, they saw two figures in the air. This Two figures stepped on a flying boat.

Looking at the face again, it actually slowly changed and became the same as their boss, their fellow Taoist Han.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, am I dazzled?" Gu Mingsheng sat up halfway, rubbed his cloudy eyes, and turned to look at Yu Hai.

Yu Hai nodded and said: "It must be because of the illusion. Two days ago, Gu Xi and Yu Shan came back with a message, saying that the cave where the boss lives is still closed."

"It's really just a blur. I'm probably tired. Let me take a rest. Fellow Daoist Yu, please don't say anything. I haven't been feeling well lately and I've been sleeping lightly." Gu Mingsheng looked at the illusory figure in the sky and slowly closed his eyes. Eyes, just for a moment, there was a gentle snore.

Yu Hai also felt that he was indeed dazzled, so he slowly closed his eyes and prepared to rest.

In mid-air, Wu Tao and Chen Yao piloted the Feilang Zhou. They set off from Lingxu Immortal Gate early this morning, following the route from Lingxu Immortal Gate to Lingxu Xiuxian City, and then at the speed of their Feilang Zhou. , just after breakfast, they had already arrived at Lingxu Xiuxian City.

Because of their identity issues, they came to Lingxu Xiuxian City to conceal their identities, and did not tell anyone, nor did they plan to meet Yu Hai and Gu Mingsheng as old friends.

Therefore, they planned to enter Yu Mansion and Gu Mansion directly to meet these old friends.

With Wu Tao's cultivation at the ninth level of the Golden Core, he could hide his figure so that no one in Lingxu Immortal City could detect it.

When Wu Tao used the flying boat to reach the sky above Yu Mansion, he saw the two old people in the courtyard.

"We haven't seen each other for 22 years, and all our old friends have lost their heads." Wu Tao sighed in his heart.
