Chapter 107: Clouds move in all directions
A trial came to an end, but Feng Ling City was no longer as lively as when it first arrived.
Except for the three major sects of Daojie, Burning Sky Sword Sect, and Lingyun Sect, the other four sects had less than twenty people left, so one can imagine the heavy casualties.
Fortunately, this goal has been achieved. Each sect has candidates to enter the Guangling Cave Mansion, and there are still three months until the hundred-year tide period. After the leaders of each sect rested for a day in Fengling City, they each took their disciples back to their sects. Wait for the tide to appear and go to Guixu Sea.
"Junior brother Fang Jing, don't you plan to return to Shenxiao Pavilion with me?"
On a hilltop outside Fenling City, layman Yuyun felt a little melancholy.
Shenxiao Pavilion is different from other sects in that it has no restrictions on its disciples. The disciples can open caves on their own. However, Shenxiao Pavilion also suffered a lot of losses during the trial. As the representative figure of the disciples, layman Yuyun needs to return to the pavilion with his boss to report.
Originally, he didn't have much friendship with this lazy "junior brother" who spent all day hanging out in the mortal world. Unexpectedly, in Fengling Tower, he actually saved his life, which made him very fond of him, and he even regarded him as his brother. meaning.
"There are still important things to deal with in the lower dojo, so I won't go back to the pavilion with my senior brother. Please take care of yourself along the way, senior brother."
Ye Chunyang was dressed in black robes and had a swollen body. He imitated the fat Taoist priest and shook his head lazily.
He was not a disciple of the Shenxiao Pavilion to begin with, so following them back to the sect would expose him. It would be better to find a secret place by himself and wait for the Guangling Cave Palace to appear.
"That's fine. Let's wait until the spiritual energy tide of Guixu Sea appears in March."
Seeing that Ye Chunyang had decided to leave, Master Yuyun did not try to persuade him to stay. He made a bow and left with his weapon.
Seeing Master Yuyun like this, Ye Chunyang was secretly amused. Although this person was not an open-minded person, he could still be used as a guarantee in the future.
But at the moment, he doesn't want to have any interaction with the other party. The Guangling Cave Mansion and his party are concerned with removing the forbidden technique from his body, so they must be fully prepared.
Fortunately, I got a lot of elixirs from this Feng Ling Que trial, enough to make several furnaces of high-quality elixirs.
After thinking about it like this, Ye Chunyang spread out his phantom wings and turned into a black dot and disappeared into the distance.
…
Taoist world.
Between the towering mountains, chains stretch into the void, holding up a majestic palace. From a distance, it looks like a cloud-top palace, surrounded by auspicious clouds and cranes circling.
Deep in the Heavenly Palace, the ground is paved with bluestones and the atmosphere is forbidding. A thin old man is sitting at the top. He is wearing a Taoist robe, facing Qigu.
At first glance, he seemed to be an experienced folk fortune teller, but his black eyes were as deep as the stars in the sky, and he had the majesty of being in a position of power for a long time, making people dare not look directly at him.
This person is the leader of the largest sect of Dongzhou Zhengdao, Gu Xuan Dao Zun.
At this time, he looked down at a woman in white who was as beautiful as an immortal, and frowned slightly: "Qingcheng, you are the disciple with the highest expectations of me, how could you fail in this small trial? What harm? Did my disciples suffer heavy losses?"
Although Gu Xuan Dao Zun's words are plain, he carries an irresistible majesty.
Next, Luo Qingcheng remained silent.
As if he had long been accustomed to seeing this disciple so cold, Dao Zun Guxuan sighed helplessly and said: "I think it was fate. If you hadn't insisted on entering Xishan Ridge, how could you have ended up with a decline in cultivation today? However, this trial was all done by Ling Yun. Zong Huangying is very scheming. If he hadn’t done it openly, why would Guangling Cave Mansion need to hold any trials? The loss of many elites in our Taoist world should also be blamed on him. "
Gu Xuan Dao Zun looked sullen, but the cold-natured Luo Qingcheng below, apart from showing due respect to his master, didn't answer even half a word, which made him quite helpless.
After a long time, Gu Xuan Dao Zun sighed, waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, the Emperor's Shadow has always been very deep in the city, and is more difficult to deal with than the Wu Yuanzi of the Burning Sky Sword Sect, but now there are still some uses for these two factions. Let’s just put up with this for a while.”
After finishing his words, he said to Luo Qingcheng: "This time I have an important thing to entrust you to do. After the task is completed, not only will you be able to return to the cultivation level of the magic power stage, but also the vitality of our sect will be greatly boosted, and we will be proud of Dongzhou." "
"Disciple, I will obey my master's orders." The Qingcheng Fairy's face still showed a calm expression.
Guxuan Taoist Master nodded, and a ray of rays of light flickered in front of Luo Qingcheng: "This is the dust-free bead, which has the effect of stabilizing the magic array. It is the supreme treasure of our Taoist world. As far as I know, there is a spiritual array in Guangling Cave Mansion. , its formation eye is an ancient treasure. After entering the cave, you will find this formation, replace the formation eye with a dust-free bead, and bring back the ancient treasure."
After a pause, he added: "You can do this with confidence. Xiao Jingyu of the Burning Sky Sword Sect and Su Xueyuan of the Lingyun Sect will assist you. With our three major sects joining forces, we will definitely succeed."
Surprise flashed across Luo Qingcheng's eyes: "Master, how can you be sure that those two people can help me?"
Gu Xuan Dao Zun gave a sly smile and said "No need to ask any more questions" without further explanation.
Seeing this, Luo Qingcheng nodded, put away the "Chen Wu Bead", and stepped back.
At the same time, there was almost the same scene in Lingyun Sect's Huixian Hall and Burning Sky Sword Sect's Sword Pavilion. Su Xueyuan and Xiao Jingyu both bid farewell to their masters with doubtful faces and returned to the cave to practice alone.
Lingyun Zongdan Pavilion.
Su Xueyuan slowly walked into Master Yunzhen's quiet room.
"Master, what is the purpose of the sect leader asking me to assist Luo Qingcheng in breaking the formation?"
After returning from Huixian Hall, she still couldn't figure out Huang Ying's thoughts. The latter had always been at odds with the Taoist world, but now he was acting out of character, which was really puzzling.
Upon hearing this, Master Yun Zhen seemed a little strange.
After a moment, he waved his hand to extinguish the three-flavored true fire in the alchemy furnace. He stood up and said: "The sect master ordered you to act like this. There is a reason for it. You just need to follow his instructions."
Su Xueyuan frowned and had no choice but to bow in response.
At this time, I heard Master Yunzhen say: "I'm calling you here this time. I have something else for you to do. I read ancient books many years ago and learned that Guanglingzi refined a 'Suyuan Dan' in ancient times. "
"Elixir?"
Su Xueyuan was startled.
There are four levels of elixirs: lower, middle, upper and even supreme. Only elixirs containing spirit can be called elixirs, and their magical effects are by no means comparable to ordinary elixirs.
Master Yunzhen nodded and said with profound meaning: "You have a pure yin constitution and a fire spirit root. If you get this elixir, you can extend your life."
Su Xueyuan's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of desolation in her eyes.
"I dare to ask Master, if I get this elixir, will it solve my destiny?"
"No." Master Yunzhen shook his head: "You have a special physique. Although the 'Sustaining Yuan Pill' has miraculous effects, it can only give you thirty years of life. If you cannot collect the furnace cauldron during this period, you will be stuck for the rest of your life." In the later stage of foundation building, the body will die and the Tao will disappear."
In Su Xueyuan's mind, Ye Chunyang's figure suddenly flashed across her mind. Did she really have a fateful entanglement with him?
Master Yunzhen saw her sad look in his eyes, sighed and said: "Xue Yuan, I know you have a hard time choosing, but monks like us seek to live a long and happy life. If our life span is not long, we might as well return. If you are a simple mortal in this world, why should you persist in cultivating the Tao?"
"That Ye Chunyang is a mortal. You have given him great grace by bringing him into the immortal gate. Using him as a furnace is just retaliation for retaliation. This is the cause and effect in the world. You are entangled in it day and night. You will lose your heart.”
Su Xueyuan was silent.
After a long moment, she nodded, "Yes, disciple understands."
Master Yunzhen smiled slightly with satisfaction and said: "You can just step back and wait for the spiritual energy tide to appear before heading to the Sea of Guixu. Then all you need to do is follow the plan."
Su Xueyuan said no more and silently exited the quiet room.
…
In the bitter cold land of the northwest, a figure flew past at high speed. When he reached the top of a snowy ridge, he suddenly stopped.
"Xishan Ridge is known as the place of death. There are few people on weekdays. I don't know if the ice cave where the demon cultivator arranged the teleportation array is still there. If this place is not exposed, it is an excellent hiding place." Ye Chunyang looked at it. After confirming that no one was around, he immediately headed towards the glacier.
Nowadays, countless immortal cultivators in Dongzhou are aiming at the spiritual energy tide after March. It is a time when the world is in great turmoil. Instead of wandering around in the outside world, it is better to find a pure place to improve their strength.
Before coming to this Xishan Ridge, Ye Chunyang had thought deeply about it. The cold air here was so serious that ordinary people would not dare to go there. However, he had a spiritual spoon to protect him and ignored the cold air here. It was an excellent place for retreat.
Thinking of the ice cave ruins, he immediately speeded up to the top of the mountain.
Having had an experience, Ye Chunyang was already familiar with mountaineering. Not long after, he discovered the deep cave entrance hidden in the snowy ridge. Looking at the surrounding snow-covered appearance, it was obvious that no one had discovered this place.
Seeing this, he was relieved. He immediately took out the "Tai Chi Five Elements Plate" and set up a magic circle outside the cave to cover up the place.
After two years of study, Ye Chunyang's attainments in the magic circle cannot be said to be exquisite, but he has quite a lot of experience.
The illusory formation currently covering the entrance of the cave is a medium-sized formation. If someone looks from the outside, they will only see a field of snow, without knowing what is going on inside.
Walking in on foot and seeing the stone bed in the cave, the entanglement of ice and fire that night seemed to have happened yesterday, which made Ye Chunyang feel a little complicated.
"Even if we have crossed paths in fate, in her heart, maybe I am just a passing guest on her path to immortality!"
Ye Chunyang laughed self-deprecatingly and waved away the melancholy in his heart.
Luo Qingcheng was once a powerful man in the magic stage and a leader in the Taoist world. If she were to be willing to be his woman, her current strength alone was far from enough.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chunyang penetrated the stone bed with a burst of spiritual power, and the underground cave appeared again. If he had not been here before, he would never have imagined that there was something hidden in such an inconspicuous place.
Jumping up, he appeared in front of the remains again.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chunyang dug a grave in the cave and buried the remains.
Although this person was a demonic monk, Ye Chunyang also had some respect for him. It was not appropriate to let his remains in the open after his death. This time, he was laid to rest in peace, which was a way of expressing his feelings.
"This cave is hidden deep under the Western Mountains and contains the energy of ice and fire. Making alchemy here will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
When he came here for the first time, Ye Chunyang discovered that although this place was under the glacier, it had pure fire-attribute spiritual energy. It could also absorb the cold air from the outside and stabilize the alchemy fire. It was a rare and rare place for alchemy.
Coupled with the special effects of the Cold Iron Pill Furnace, opening the furnace here can greatly increase the success rate of making pills.
