Chapter 263 One world in one grain of sand
Fu Sheng raised his head and glanced at Wang Ruotong, and said with a faint smile: "It turns out that he is a junior from the Divine Sword Villa. I and Xie Xiaoan had a sword-discussing friendship back then." After saying that, he looked at the fire in trance, not knowing What are you thinking about.
Wang Ruotong and the middle-aged man named Wang here breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and then fell silent. The people in the Anjia caravan did the same, but they looked curious.
"Hehe, I tried my best to get a piece of news, thinking that only a few people knew about it, and I wanted to get there first. But unexpectedly, the news was already ruined on the streets. There were as many monks as crucian carp crossing the river. It's really ridiculous and sad." Hai said to his two brothers with a hint of sarcasm. He didn't know whether he was born with such a personality, or whether he relied on the three brothers to join forces to fight against Fu Sheng. In short, he was making sarcastic remarks from the beginning.
Fu Sheng's four disciples had angry expressions on their faces. Who knew that Fu Sheng just waved his hand: "So, Ma Hai and you three brothers have another purpose?" The implication is that the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, are all It's the same idea.
Ma Chuan shook his head quite proudly: "With those golden elixir masters here, we three brothers are not so stupid to wade into this muddy water. I really think that everyone is like you, clinging to the idea of achieving a high-grade golden elixir. If you look for opportunities and opportunities, and don’t even look at how many high-grade golden elixirs can be produced among a hundred monks with perfect souls, with your thoughts, 90% of them will be a waste of time, and you won’t ask for help in the end. Nine Turns and Nine Returns Jade Liquid Divine Pill."
Fu Sheng seemed to have been touched by what he said, and his expression no longer looked as calm as before. It had been almost 150 years since his soul had been perfected, and his accumulation was extremely powerful, but the high-grade golden elixir was still so elusive. He snorted loudly: "The bird is safe." Know the ambition of the swan."
Shi Xuan almost laughed when he heard this. He didn't expect that this world of cultivation also has this saying. Sometimes things in the world are so wonderful, but he also feels the same. He can laugh now, but he will still not be able to reach the top level in hundreds of years. I really don’t know if I can laugh at the words of the golden elixir. I don’t know how intense the torment and hesitation in my heart will be at that time. No wonder they say that the best time to achieve a top-grade golden elixir is between thirty and eighty years after the soul has been perfected. The further back you go, the more unbalanced your mentality will be, and the less likely you are to succeed.
Seeing the change in Fu Sheng's attitude, Ma Hai didn't dare to irritate him with sarcastic words. If he really wanted to take action for this, it would be an unreasonable disaster, with no benefit and no selfish hatred, so he turned to talk about something else: "Second brother, Third brother, why do you think the two golden elixir masters from Shenjian Villa want to go to Tianjian Sect Cave Heaven? Their Shenjian Villa is considered a big business. If you put it together, you can still afford Ziyang Yun’s elixir, so why bother to risk it? That risk?"
"Perhaps it's for the Spiritual Sword Dao Technique. After all, it is one of the five techniques of the Tianjian Sect. It is a sword cultivation technique that directly points to the Golden Immortal Dao. After obtaining it, the Divine Sword Villa will accumulate it for several generations, maybe You can become a sect like the Penglai Sect that has been around for tens of thousands of years. Well, if you can get the Heavenly Spirit Sword, you will have something to suppress the sect." Ma Chuan thought it was understandable.
Ma He had a different view on this. He shook his head and said, "Second brother, don't even look at it. The five major peaks of the Tianjian Sect were discovered, not only the Spirit Sword Peak, but also the Tianjian Peak and the Earth Sword Peak." , but what about the flying sword magic weapon above? It has been there for eight thousand years, and countless masters of Jindan and Yin Shen have died under those two sword formations. Where is this Heavenly Spirit Sword? It’s so easy to get. In my opinion, the eighty-nine achievements in Shenjian Villa are for the Spiritual Sword Taoism.”
The sword cultivation technique on the Earth Sword Peak had long been destroyed, while most of the techniques on the Heavenly Sword Peak had been preserved. As a result, they were acquired by a Golden Pill Grandmaster from the Luofu Sect. And after completing it with other techniques, it finally turned into a fundamental method that is not sword cultivation, which is "Piaomiao Song Jue".
Ma Hai smiled and said: "How can it be so easy to obtain Spirit Sword Dao? It's okay for other sects. The Luofu sect may send people here at any time, not to mention other sword cultivators. Hey, these big sects and the matter of the Golden Pill Grandmaster, Let’s just say it happily.”
The words were said with a bit of enthusiasm. Ma Chuan and Ma He were aroused and stopped talking. So the entire sand cave was silent, each with their own thoughts. There was only the howling wind outside the sand cave and the biting cold that penetrated.
In this uncomfortable silence, Shi Xuan was leisurely listening to the changing wind and the breathing of the monks in the sand cave. Because he had figured out what to do next, his mood gradually settled. The lingering and torment temporarily disappeared without a trace.
The strong wind in the Western Wilderness came and went quickly. Two quarters of an hour later, the wind gradually stopped. The three brothers of the Ma family stood up first and walked out of the sand cave without saying goodbye to anyone.
Fu Sheng waited for the three brothers from the Ma family to leave before he stood up and said, "Two friends from Shenjian Villa, please say hello to Daoist Xie on behalf of Fu."
"Ruotong thanked Senior Fu in advance on behalf of the family master." Wang Ruotong quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
Fu Sheng laughed and said, "It turns out that Xie Xiaoan's disciples are here. What a coincidence." After saying that, without waiting for Wang Ruotong's reply, he turned around and left with his four disciples.
Because Shi Xuan was rushing to collect information to see where Old Jian was most likely to have died, he stood up, smiled and saluted, "Shi also said goodbye." As for the few people who responded to him, Shi Xuan didn't take it to heart and took steps towards the exit of the sand cave.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, wait a minute." Wang Ruotong's sweet voice came from behind.
Shi Xuan turned around in confusion and saw Wang Ruotong's big and charming eyes looking at her. She smiled slightly and said: "I see that fellow Taoist Shi has no sand-trampling beasts. It is very difficult to walk in the desert. Why don't you follow us to Jixi Town?" When she smiled, her eyes narrowed a bit, making them look long and curved, but it was obvious that she had a good heart.
Seeing what Wang Ruotong said, An Qingshu also said flatteringly: "I think Taoist friend Shi's sand-treading beast was lost before, and our Anjia caravan still has a few replacements, why not come with us." The monk's sand-treading beast had an accident in the desert. It is a common thing. Most caravans bring a few more beasts with them. Only monks in the out-of-body stage who have little savings will go on the road with only one sand-treading beast.
Shi Xuan smiled lightly and said: "Thank you Miss Wang and Mr. An for your kindness, but I can't use it." After saying that, he walked out of the sand cave, completely ignoring the sounds behind him, then set up the escape light and headed towards the extreme. Go to the west town.
An Qingshu originally had a good impression of Shi Xuan, but when he saw that his good intentions were rejected and his attempts to please the beauty were in vain, he couldn't help but angrily said: "Sister Wang, don't be like this kind of person, who is sour and hard, and doesn't know a good heart. Treat your kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs." Of course, half of the purpose of saying this is to show Wang Ruotong's affection.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ruotong just glanced at the exit of the sand cave and said without any anger on his face: "Fellow Taoist Shi may have some hidden agenda. Besides, this place is not far from Jixi Town."
"Only a kind-hearted person like you, Miss Wang, can speak for him. You don't have any hidden agenda. You are just holding on for the sake of face. If you can't get to Jixi Town today, let's see if he can find a place to hide at night." An Qing Shu realized that his words pleased Wang Ruotong and belittled Shi Xuan, killing two birds with one stone.
Before Wang Ruotong could reply, An Xiuchuan stood up and said, "Okay, it's time for us to set off."
…………
Jixi Town is a small town that mainly houses inns, restaurants, elixir and magic weapon shops, etc. There are at least a hundred households living here. Walking on the road of the town, you can see the yellow sand constantly hitting the formations. Above, it was like a torrential rain.
Shi Xuan found the Foreign Affairs Hall's headquarters here and walked in. There was only one deacon and one waiter inside, both of whom looked drowsy.
Seeing Shi Xuan walking in, the deacon looked at him with sleepy eyes first, then he suddenly became energetic, walked to Shi Xuan's side, and said respectfully: "Disciple Zhou Cheng pays homage to Uncle Shi. I didn't expect you to come too. Jixi Town?"
"Well, have many monks come to Jixi Town recently?" Shi Xuan asked in a calm tone.
Zhou Cheng nodded: "Because of the incident at Tianjian Sect's Lingjian Peak, many monks have come to Jixi Town recently. There were three or four golden elixir masters before, and there are countless monks in the Soul Stage."
Shi Xuan did not comment, but said: "Arrange a courtyard for me, and send over all the information you can find on Tianjian Peak."
Seeing the waiter leading Shi Xuan into the backyard, Zhou Cheng said to himself in surprise: "I didn't expect that Uncle Shi also came here for the Tianjian Sect."
Tianjian Sect is a super large sect that can be ranked among the top in ancient times. In addition to not having the Golden Immortal Dao Ancestor, there are several Tianxian Zhenjun, not to mention Yang Shen and Yuanshen Zhenren. There are two flying swords that are heaven-reaching spiritual treasures with boundless power. Of course, they are not as good as the heaven-reaching spiritual treasures like Yuqing Shenxiao Palace which are only half a step away from joining the path.
The Tianjian Sect's sect is located in the cave world opened by the Celestial Power within their sect. It is said to be hidden on a certain grain of sand among billions of yellow sands. When the ancient times were shattered, because there was a Celestial True Lord who happened to be inside the sect, Coupled with the suppression of the two flying swords of the Sky Spiritual Treasure level, this cave world was not completely shattered, but became extremely fragile. If a monk above the Yuan Shen tried to enter, it would cause the entire cave world to collapse.
In the Dongtian World, the continents and oceans have been turned upside down, and the five peaks and twelve mountains have disintegrated one after another and are scattered throughout the Dongtian World. Coupled with various space cracks, it is really elusive and hard to find. So far, only three peaks and seven mountains have been discovered, and among them is the Tongtian Spiritual Treasure. However, no one noticed the suppressed Purple Sword Peak and Green Sword Peak, and it was not known whether they had fallen like the Heavenly Immortal True Lord.
Because there are only some core protective formations complete with space cracks, some places inside are dangerous and abnormal, and some places are not too scary. Even the monks in the Qi-entraining stage can break through, so for Shi Xuan, finding Where Old Man Jian fell, the dangers of formations and space cracks were secondary, but the greatest danger was something else.
