"You did a good job! Jingyun, you did a good job!" The Wanxiang Immortal was very satisfied, but Luo Yan was tired of listening to it.
I have heard Qiu Changtian and Ling Yunpo twice. No matter how sincere and heartfelt your words are, I feel no ripple in my heart.
Reward! What is a reward? You know?
The Wanxiang Immortal was completely unaware of this. He just praised Luo Yan and asked about what happened to Luo Yan in the secret realm.
This was not something that needed to be kept secret, so Luo Yan recounted the situation in detail.
"Outside the celestial sphere." Wanxiang Immortal stroked his beard, "It is indeed full of dangers. Elder Dongyou does not have much practical experience. It is a pity that he was defeated at the last moment."
"When we humans ascended to heaven, it took more than 108,000 miles to get from the cultivation world to the immortal world. If we were not prepared, it would be impossible to reach the destination smoothly."
"So, a Chaos Daluo Jinxian left the sky and roughly explored the nearby area. Where there are many demons and where are suitable for hiding are not secrets among the immortals... Of course, it is normal that you don't know."
At this point, Wanxiang Immortal suddenly had an idea and said with a smile:
"I know what reward to give you this time."
He took out a gourd with emerald green patterns from his sleeve and asked:
"Do you know what this is?"
"Uh." Luo Yan was stunned for a long time, and then asked Kunlun Mirror and Suming Sword, but no one recognized the origin of this gourd, "This is..."
"I don't know either." Wanxiang Immortal said frankly, "But this was brought back from the depths of the universe outside the celestial sphere by a great man from the past."
"At regular intervals, a drop of Yimu Spiritual Liquid will be produced in this gourd. No other conditions are required... Even if it is immersed in the water of the Chaos Heavenly River, it will still be the same."
Luo Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this: That's a good thing!
As we all know, Yi Mu Lingye is the best thing for healing wounds and restoring true essence, but because it is too scarce, people often use cheaper inferior elixirs instead.
The problem is that after taking the medicine, you need to refine the medicinal power, and in many stressful situations, the enemy will not give you time to calmly refine the medicinal power.
In this regard, the Yimu Spirit Liquid hardly requires too much refining, and it can replenish the true essence as soon as it enters the stomach.
In addition, this gourd can automatically replenish the Yi Wood Spirit Liquid, which makes this magic weapon transcend ordinary grades and become the optimal solution in many situations - such as when ascending to the fairyland.
"Immortal." Luo Yan did not rush to take the gourd, but asked in confusion, "Since this treasure is so precious, why don't you keep it for yourself?"
Aren’t you also planning to ascend to the fairyland in the future?
"If you rely too much on this treasure, you will lose your spirit." Wanxiang Immortal said with emotion, "You can take it, I don't need it."
Luo Yan took the jade gourd and asked A Jing to scan it carefully from front to back again.
"Strange." Kunlun Jing said doubtfully, "There's nothing unusual about this thing. It looks like an ordinary gourd... but the material is definitely not wood. I can't recognize it either."
"Nonsense." Luo Yan said, "Have you ever been to the depths of the universe? There are all kinds of things in this universe, so it's normal that there are a few that you can't recognize."
He carefully put away the gourd, then said goodbye to the Immortal Wanxiang and left.
In this way, the immortals from the three sects of Kunlun, Shushan, and Penglai have already obtained clues to the secret realm of the Great Light Palace.
Next, I just need to wait for the secret realm of the Great Light Palace to open. Once the three immortals leave the sect, it will be my chance to take action and seize the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone!
Back then, the Sky-Burning Stone was divided into six pieces. Now I have obtained two pieces. Apart from the three pieces belonging to the Orthodox Church, there is also the piece buried deep in hell, which was used by Taoist Luo to create the barrier.
Luo Yan thought for a moment and felt that getting the piece of Heaven-Repairing Stone in Hell would be the most difficult task.
The reason was simple: he had already understood the Three Pure Ones of the orthodox religion thoroughly, but as for the hell... he only had a slight understanding of it at this time, but not much.
As we all know, the unknown is the most terrifying.
If he couldn't figure out Taoist Luo's true identity and cultivation strength, the methods of other members of Hell, and what cards were hidden in the depths of Hell, then rushing into the depths of Hell to grab the fragments of the Heaven-Bulding Stone would be like a rabbit entering a knot with bait.
We have to think of a way.
"A Jing, read the file of Wei Dongliu!"
[Point 4: Zhongtai Peak, the headquarters of Tongxuanmen. ]
[Character identity: Wei Dongliu. ]
[The Mirror Flower and Water Moon template is overwritten, and time travel is in progress. 】
Arriving at Mount Wutai, Wei Dongliu quickly began to recall what happened in this plot line before the save.
Well, the head of Hell Dao Sect, Master Luo, asked me to go to the secret realm of Jinchan Temple to get information.
After I learned that the last fragment of the Bu Tian Stone was hidden in the Jin Chan Temple, I pretended to have gained nothing and returned to report to Taoist Luo.
Afterwards, he teleported in again and took away the fragments of the Sky-Burn Stone.
Since the secret realm of Jinchan Temple was destroyed, Taoist Na Luo would definitely suspect No. 2 and me, but to be fair, No. 2 is definitely more suspicious than me.
After all, when the Jinchan Temple cave was destroyed, only Number Two was inside without knowing that I would be teleported.
Thinking of this, Wei Dongliu decided to keep a low profile for the time being and be an honest spy, waiting for the message from Hell.
Wei Dongliu spent another half a day inspecting and sorting out the overall situation of the Fanshengdao sect.
I have to say that the incentive effect of monastic resources is really strong.
With the existence of the Dharma Transmission Hall and the Dharma Transmission System, all the cultivators of the Fansheng Dao worked hard to build their sects, and when independent cultivators from outside heard about this, they came to join in an endless stream.
If it were other sects, as long as their sect system was a bit stricter, there would be absolutely no such thing as "casual cultivators coming to join".
But before, the Fansheng Dao had been in disarray for a long time, so it had developed a traditional practice of recruiting outside cultivators to bring their Taoist traditions and disciples, and giving them the name of Fansheng Dao as long as they paid money. Now, this has turned out to be a blessing in disguise, attracting a large number of independent cultivators to join, and the number of members in the sect has increased by leaps and bounds.
According to rough estimates, the number of cultivators in the Jindan realm alone has tripled from the original level!
Of course, as the number of foreign cultivators skyrocketed, calls for a "strong trunk and weak branches" gradually began to emerge among the sect's Nascent Soul elders.
Everyone is very worried that if they continue to use such indiscriminate tactics, the right to speak that belongs to the original Mortal Dao cultivators will gradually be taken away by these foreign cultivator groups!
Wei Dongliu sneered at this.
What does "the original mortal Taoist monk" mean?
The Tongxuan Sect, which had existed for thousands of years, was completely destroyed, leaving no one alive. Where were the orthodox Fanshengdao descendants left?
These were the three major sects of Yunxue Mountain, Lingxiu Mountain and Zhuiyue Mountain that later settled here. It was said that they were just a few outer disciples who were eliminated by the Tongxuan Sect. They returned to the mountain to rebuild their sects after the sect was destroyed. It is hard to say how much of the Tongxuan Sect's magical inheritance they could obtain.
As for the other monks who claim to be "Old Fansheng Dao", they were originally foreign monks who joined Fansheng Dao in the last few thousand years and have nothing to do with the inheritance of orthodox Fansheng Dao.
If we really want to talk about the "original mortal way", the stone statue of the Dharma in my Wei Dongliu's hand and the one hundred and eighty thousand volumes of the magic secrets, that is the authentic mortal way inheritance!
Whoever I pass these secret methods on to will be a true Mortal Daoist cultivator!
Hearing several Fansheng Dao elders complaining about this matter, Wei Dongliu just sneered and looked at them without saying a word.
Soon, the elders fell silent.
After Grand Master Wei left, the elders started to discuss among themselves:
"It seems that the Sect Master is not going to speak for us old people anymore."
"That's right. The Sect Master is still dreaming of becoming one of the six leaders! How could he possibly agree to something like this that would bring real benefits but damage his reputation?"
"But there are indeed some tricky ideas among these foreign monks. A few days ago, my direct disciple went to fight with someone, but he lost!"
"Lost? That's really embarrassing. Are you willing to swallow this loss and not vent your anger for your disciple?"
"If I were to take action, wouldn't that be bullying?" The elder who was questioned sneered, "I just stood in front of him, and the kid knelt in front of me, crying and shouting to apologize, begging desperately to take me as his master."
Elders: …
Although everyone showed contemptuous expressions at the same time, their minds were secretly active.
That's right. Since Sect Master Wei has the strong support of the Blood Sea Ancestor and is unwilling to change the sect's current strategy of recruiting monks, the trend of more and more foreign monks entering the sect is inevitable.
But! This also means that there will be more fresh blood flowing into the sect, and there must be many good ones among them.
As long as the qualifications are acceptable, no matter whether the other party is self-taught or a rough diamond, there is no need to rush to label him as an "outsider"... If he becomes my disciple, regards me as his teacher, and learns from me, then he is one of my own, right?
Thinking of this, the elders all denounced the elder, saying that he must have used some dirty intimidation tactics to force the outsider who defeated their own disciple to become his disciple.
Soon, everyone reached a consensus on the surface: We must defend the orthodoxy of the Way of Life, and we must do our part! Anyone who compromises with these outsiders is a traitor!
Then they all returned to their caves. While the others had not yet come to their senses, they quickly asked their disciples to go out and investigate to see if there were any foreign cultivators who had not yet formed a golden elixir but had good talent.
Wei Dongliu didn't know that just by not expressing his stance, he actually set off a wave of craze for recruiting disciples, which greatly accelerated the speed of naturalization of foreign cultivators.
After he confirmed the sect's personnel situation, his next stop was the Dharma Hall.
Currently, the two young disciples, Guo Jin and Wang Xun, are responsible for teaching the Dharma in the Dharma Teaching Hall. Both of them have entered the Golden Core Realm.
To be honest, with the two people's aptitude for cultivation, Wei Dongliu originally thought that they would not be able to form the elixir... It can only be said that Madam Jiang's supply of cultivation resources is really sufficient, even the chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven.
"Master!" "Master." Seeing Wei Dongliu taking the time to come, the two of them quickly stood up to greet him.
Guo Jin's expression was full of excitement, which showed that the child was really happy; the smile on Wang Qin's face was much more polite. After all, Wei Dongliu spent too little time with her, and she was closer to Madam Jiang.
"How's the recent Dharma teaching going?" Wei Dongliu signaled the two of them not to be polite, and then asked about business.
Wang Jun immediately handed over the list, which recorded who had made great contributions on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year and what skills they had received.
Wei Dongliu flipped through it for a while and found that the main force who received the skills were cultivators in the Jindan realm.
Although there are more Foundation Establishment cultivators, they are ultimately weak and cannot make many contributions. Most of what they receive are low-level skills that are not worthy of mention.
Nascent Soul cultivators... There are not many Nascent Soul cultivators coming from outside, and most of them are rather reserved, and seldom do things like "earning contributions and obtaining techniques".
However, if this trend continues, once these current Jindan-level cultivators are promoted to Yuanying-level, the number of high-level cultivators in the Mortal Realm will surely experience a huge surge.
By then, maybe I can compete with Kunlun head-on... But by that time, I guess I won't need the identity of Wei Dongliu anymore.
Thinking of this, Wei Dongliu also became a little bored.
What's the point of bothering myself with this mortal life now? Sooner or later this inheritance will not belong to me, so I might as well just let it go.
He returned to the cave in a depressed mood and saw Jiang Li'an had returned and was putting on makeup in front of the bronze mirror.
"Madam." Wei Dongliu recalled that this lady's true identity was actually a demon, so he asked tentatively, "What was your identity before you joined the Demonic Path?"
"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Jiang Li showed a slightly shy expression, "Before I entered Taoism, I was a fisherman in the East China Sea."
"Oh." Wei Dongliu responded dejectedly.
Even without using the magic of the devil, Jiang Li'an could tell that her husband was in a very bad mood at the moment, so she gracefully came behind him, stretched out her slender jade fingers, and gently massaged his temples:
"My dear husband, is there something bothering you? Why don't you tell me about it?"
"It's not a big deal." Although Wei Dongliu knew that if this woman used her fingers to force, with his divine power as the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon, she would probably crush his head directly, but after all, he was protected by Ah Jing's teleportation, so he was not very vigilant and said casually, "It was just a few days ago that I learned about the ascension from the immortal."
"Ascension?" Jiang Li'an was slightly stunned.
"Yes, ascend." Wei Dongliu said in a deep voice, "It is said that after our human cultivators become immortals, they will ascend to the fairyland."
"However, we will not reach the fairyland immediately. Instead, we will have to travel a long distance in the universe. On the way, there will be endless water from the chaotic celestial river, which is freezing cold. There will also be endless harassment and attacks from demons."
"Plus, in the universe, the true energy is limited and cannot be replenished, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-or-death situation."
"Oh." Witch Jiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
What did I think it was, ascension? Haha, husband, you don't have to worry.
When you ascend, I will kidnap you halfway and take you to the Demon Palace to be my personal male servant. Then you won’t have to worry about “the water in the Milky Way is icy cold” or “the endless harassment from the demons”!
"What are you laughing at, madam?" Wei Dongliu asked curiously.
