Chapter 349 Let me see, Cheng Kong apologizes

When they were about to leave the Nine Mountains Realm, Yan Wushuang suddenly seemed to want to say something but stopped, and had that kind of expression as if he wanted to hold it back, but couldn't.

"Brother Yan?"

Seeing him like this, Zheng Fa asked with understanding.

"Are you...?"

Yan Wushuang's voice was so soft, so soft that even Zheng Fa almost didn't hear what he was asking.

But he immediately understood what Yan Wushuang meant. This person was asking him if he was the reincarnation of Venerable Tianhe.

"I don't think I am."

Zheng Fa was silent for a moment and spoke frankly.

He was not sure whether his time travel was related to the Venerable Tianhe, but if he was the Venerable Tianhe...

Zheng Fa doesn't think so either.

Yan Wushuang exhaled lightly, as if he had let go of his worries, and said with a smile: "It's not good, it's good if it's not. To be honest with you, the ancestor will stand in front of me."

“I’m a little scared…”

“…”

"If you were the ancestor, I wouldn't dare to say anything."

Watching Yan Wushuang take the Tongjian and leave with ease, Zheng Facai took out the booklet again and began to interpret it using the rules Yan Wushuang told him.

The information in the booklet is disorganized.

Most of them were said by the head of Tianhe, and some were said by other elders.

The content is basically rumors about the previous era within the sect, commemorations of Venerable Tianhe, and remembrances of the sect’s most prosperous history.

Many of them were boastful and exaggerated, mixed with falsehoods, and Zheng Fa couldn't tell which were true and which were false.

This information was disorganized and lacked empirical evidence, which inevitably made him feel boring and disappointing. However, considering that it was not easy for Yan Wushuang to collect this information, he read it carefully word by word.

He casually scanned a few words, then suddenly paused, turned around, and reread the words:

"The eldest sister said that the master's sword realm is actually related to the nine transformations of the golden elixir. Without this method, the rumored method of refining the sword into silk and transforming the sword into thousands of things would be extremely difficult."

"Therefore, this kind of sword technique in our sect has been lost."

Nine transformations of golden elixir?

Isn’t this the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method?

Zheng Fa read these four words several times, and then went back and forth to read the other records in the booklet, especially what Xie Qingxue said, trying to find some more clues.

But I don’t know if Xie Qingxue mentioned it unintentionally.

But later on, he became cautious and the four words "Nine Transformations of the Golden Elixir" never appeared in the booklet again.

He closed the booklet gently, frowning slightly, with surprise and confusion in his heart.

At the beginning, the Jiushan Sect explored the so-called Tianhe ruins and obtained a seemingly ordinary rock.

From the rock, Zheng Fa obtained an incomplete inheritance.

That inheritance is the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method.

This method should be the fundamental method of Venerable Tianhe in the Jindan period.

Zheng Fa is not sure now whether the person who set up the secret realm is looking for the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method or the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant.

Now I actually heard it from Xie Qingxue’s mouth?

"What's wrong?"

Coincidentally, Senior Sister Zhang came to his yard at this time. Seeing his strange expression, she asked curiously.

Zheng Fa handed over the booklet.

Senior Sister Zhang read that sentence and also frowned.

She also knew the origin of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Technique.

"Xie Qingxue knows the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir Technique?"

Zheng Fa nodded and said, "Maybe I don't know, but at least I know it very well."

Senior Sister Zhang thought for a long time and speculated: "This is actually not surprising. After all, Tianhe Sect is the inheritance of Tianhe Venerable, and she is the senior sister of Tianhe Sect. It is very likely that she knows the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill Method."

"It is possible, but..." Zheng Fa said slowly, "Apart from anything else, that rock should be the real legacy of Tianhe Venerable, otherwise there wouldn't be only a name of a spell left behind."

"He even said that if you practice the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method, you will become him."

"The Tianhe Sect once betrayed the Tianhe Master. If they knew this, they probably wouldn't allow their descendants to practice this technique."

Senior Sister Zhang understood as soon as she heard it - for the Tianhe Sect, if they really trained a great master, everyone would be in trouble.

"This Nine-transformation Golden Elixir Method may also be a taboo in the Tianhe Sect."

Senior Sister Zhang's expression slowly changed. She seemed to understand what Zheng Fa meant. "You mean, maybe the Tianhe Sect didn't leave behind the inheritance of the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir Method?"

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

"Then why is Xie Qingxue..." Senior Sister Zhang's expression suddenly became strange, "She... is she the reincarnation of Venerable Tianhe?"

This sounds a little familiar...

Yan Wushuang thought he was it, but Senior Sister Zhang thought it was Xie Qingxue.

Zheng Fa couldn't explain it either - there was too little to judge from just one sentence.

Even the Tianhe Sect might actually have the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method, so their guesses naturally couldn't be relied upon.

Senior Sister Zhang pondered for a moment, then suddenly shook her head and laughed, saying, "Whether it is or not, it has little to do with us. It is the Tianhe Sect. If the most outstanding disciple of this generation is really the reincarnation of Tianhe Venerable or is related to him..."

"Then... it will be fun."

Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but reveal an expression of enjoying the show on her face.

She also knew that Zheng Fa was secretly wary of the Five Xuanwei Sects. If the Tianhe Sect was in some trouble, it would not be a bad thing for the Jiushan Sect.

Zheng Fa suddenly thought of Yan Wushuang who left happily, and felt that this guy was a bit unlucky.

If the Tianhe Master was reincarnated and had always been by Yan Wushuang's side...

I wonder if this guy will find it exciting when he finds out about this.

…

At the Tianhe faction's headquarters, Xie Qingxue frowned as she looked at Yan Wushuang, who was grinning while holding the Tongjian.

"Junior brother."

“…”

"Junior brother."

“…”

"Yan Wushuang!"

Yan Wu's hands trembled and he almost dropped the Tongjian on the ground. He looked up blankly and saw his senior sister standing beside him with a fake smile, staring at the Tongjian in his hands with sharp eyes.

"Senior sister?"

"What are you grinning about? What is this?"

"..." Yan Wushuang tried to put the Tongjian away while pretending to explain casually, "Zheng Fa gave it to me and said he wanted me to play with it."

Xie Qingxue stretched out her hand.

"show me."

“Senior Sister…”

Yan Wushuang tried to struggle.

"Either this thing is in my hand, or my hand is on your head."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wushuang touched the back of his head and felt some phantom pain.

"Senior sister, just take a look?"

"Don't worry!"

Yan Wushuang thought about it and felt that without the secret code and magic formula, his senior sister would not be able to see any secrets of the Jiushan Sect, so he could only honestly put the Tongjian in Xie Qingxue's hands.

…

"Senior sister, can you return it to me?"

"I will definitely return it in a few days."

"Senior sister, Tongjian..."

"Why are you in such a hurry? You didn't say you wouldn't return it."

“Senior Sister…”

"For a mere Tongjian, have you forgotten the kindness I showed you in teaching you?"

Seeing his senior sister’s hurt face, Yan Wushuang…could not bear it any longer, but still endured it.

A few more days passed.

When Yan Wushuang walked into Xie Qingxue's yard, he saw his senior sister holding a copy of the Comprehensive Mirror and giggling.

"Senior sister?"

Suddenly, Xie Qingxue put away the Tongjian and looked at him warily.

"... Senior Sister, Master Chengkong sent a message saying that Master Mingde of the Xuandu Temple of the Supreme Dao has arrived."

"Master Mingde?"

Xie Qingxue put away the dejected look on her face, stood up and walked towards the main hall, frowning as she walked.

"When you get to the temple, be careful and don't talk nonsense."

Yan Wushuang looked a little confused.

"This Master Mingde has a difficult personality."

…

Master Mingde is a pure regional black!

In the main hall of Tongming Mountain, Zheng Fa sat quietly in his seat, looking at a middle-aged Taoist priest sitting in the first seat.

This man looked young, about forty years old, but his hair and beard were all white, which made him look strange.

What's even more bizarre is this person's behavior.

Today, Master Chengkong is hosting a banquet to welcome his first ancestor.

Since it was a banquet, there had to be food, and on the table in front of everyone, there was some delicious wine and meat.

But Mingde, the guest of honor, was not there, and the desk in front of him was empty.

It’s not that Master Chengkong is negligent, but... this person simply doesn’t want to eat.

Not only do they not eat it, they even don't smell or look at it.

This was embarrassing enough.

Listen to what he said with Master Chengkong.

"First Master, let me introduce this to you..."

Master Chengkong pointed at Zheng Fa, as if he wanted to introduce him to his own abbot.

“No need.”

Master Mingde directly interrupted Master Chengkong.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Then this one..."

“No need.”

The people below the stage looked at each other. Although they did not dare to speak, they also exchanged glances with each other. This Master Mingde - did not eat the spiritual meat of the Xuanwei Realm, did not drink the spiritual wine of the Xuanwei Realm, and did not want to know the cultivators of the Xuanwei Realm.

Even after entering the door, he only greeted the people from the five sects and never glanced at these cultivators from the Xuanwei Realm.

It seems that the wine, meat, and people in this mysterious world are all dirty...

Is it more than just being arrogant?

Some of the monks present couldn't help but feel resentful.

Zheng Fa felt at ease - to be honest, after being targeted by the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, he felt inexplicably safe to have a great cultivator who did not take him seriously.

The Five Xuanwei Sects were an existence he wished to stay away from.

It’s good to be a little transparent.

Unlike others who were angry, Zheng Fa held the chopsticks leisurely and concentrated on dealing with the spirit and meat in front of him.

When you are having a feast, you have to be respectful to the food.

The Nine Mountains Realm is short of this thing.

It's not easy to pack, otherwise he would...

"Where's Qing Jing Zhu?"

Suddenly, a cold questioning voice came from the top, from the head of Mingde.

Zheng Fa suddenly felt that the meat in his mouth no longer tasted good.

“…”

"The disciple is being nurtured."

Master Chengkong answered in a low voice.

He seemed afraid to even look in Zheng Fa's direction.

"The spiritual roots of heaven and earth are precious, and we must not make any mistakes..." Master Mingde added, "There is no need to let others treat them. Except for people like me, no one else can get involved."

"……yes!"

Seeing that he looked somewhat unconvinced, Master Mingde said slowly, "Think about how this Qingjing Bamboo was injured... Let's not talk about the character of the outsider. Even I, the Supreme Daoist, couldn't save the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. How could the cultivators of those small sects save them?"

“…”

These words left Master Chengkong speechless.

"Be careful, and don't waste your time worrying about the rest."

…

Before Master Chengkong had the chance to find Zheng Fa, Zheng Fa took the initiative to send Qingjingzhu to his yard.

"this……"

Zheng Fa handed the Qingjing Bamboo to Master Chengkong and said, "It's difficult for you, Master."

"It's actually my fault. I told you to lend it to you for three months, but it's only been 20 days and Master Mingde is here." Master Chengkong sighed. He thought for a moment and said, "You've seen what kind of person he is. He is suspicious, especially towards people with profound knowledge. He has always had a grudge against them."

"Why?"

"You should also know that Nether Immortal is his disciple."

Zheng Fa had indeed heard of this rumor.

"What you don't know is that the Netherworld Immortal was originally from the Xuanwei Realm. The First Master Mingde accepted him as his only disciple. It can be said that he devoted all his efforts to cultivating his successor."

Zheng Fa looked a little dazed.

"As a result, for some unknown reason, the Netherworld Immortal was determined to betray the sect, and the abbot's personality changed from then on..."

I understand. Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

Zheng Fa smiled and said to Master Chengkong, "Please accept the Pure Bamboo."

Master Chengkong took the Qingjing Bamboo, looked at it, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The changes in Qingjing Bamboo were not significant, and Zheng Fa and his team only needed to make a few thin slices for their experiment, and they were very delicate and careful - at least Master Chengkong couldn't see much difference.

Zheng Fa returned the Qingjing Bamboo because, of course, their experiment had been initially successful. Keeping the Qingjing Bamboo would not be that useful, and it would also easily lead to the crime of possessing a treasure.

After all, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth are of great importance. Let alone other things, if one really died in the Nine Mountains Realm, there would be no way to explain it.

On the other hand, it is naturally because of the abbot Mingde.

It was obvious that this person was difficult to get along with, and Zheng Fa didn't want to attract attention, so he simply sent Qing Jingzhu back to avoid trouble.

As if he had seen through his thoughts, Master Chengkong explained, "It's not a bad thing for the chief monk to come. The Netherworld Immortal is now on the run. Although I told others that I'm not worried, it was only to calm people's hearts."

"Does Master Mingde have a way to deal with the Netherworld Immortal?"

"After all, they are master and disciple." Master Chengkong shook his head and said, "The chief monk has his own way to track the Netherworld Immortal. Before, it was because the Netherworld Immortal hid in the Great Freedom Heaven, so we didn't dare to go in rashly. But now, as long as the Netherworld Immortal is still in Xuanwei, the chief monk can find him."

"At least it will keep him from being able to hide and plot anything."

Zheng Fa was also happy to hear this - he was also worried that the Netherworld Immortal was still alive, especially since he was hiding.

Who knows, someday, the Netherworld Immortal will resurrect the Great Free Demon Ancestor.

Since Master Mingde has a way to track this person, that would be great.

Master Chengkong further explained: "The abbot came so quickly because he was afraid of any accidents."

“Master, there is no need to say anything. Master Mingde came early, and I can’t help but feel relieved.” Zheng Fa said.

Seeing that he said this sincerely, Master Chengkong smiled. He turned his wrist and a jade medicine bottle appeared in his palm.

"This is?"

"This is my Supreme True Spirit Pill from the Supreme Dao."

"The Supreme Spiritual Pill?"

Master Chengkong put the medicine bottle in Zheng Fa's hand and said:

"My sect is famous for its alchemy, and the Supreme True Spirit Pill is the only elixir that is unique to my sect."

"This elixir is only useful for disciples below the Nascent Soul stage. It is most suitable for the growth of the soul and is one of the most useful elixirs in the Golden Core stage."

"The spiritual materials needed for this elixir are precious. It is not easy for me, a disciple of the Supreme Dao, to obtain them. If you are not a very important person in the sect, it is difficult to have the opportunity to take this Supreme True Spiritual Pill."

Zheng Fa was surprised when he heard what Master Cheng Kong said.

The Tai Shang Zhen Ling Dan seems to be a pill suitable for cultivators in the Jin Dan stage.

But it seems a bit petty for Master Chengkong, a real person who has reached the state of transformation, to praise this elixir so highly.

It seemed that it was not easy for him to get this pill, which made it even more precious.

"You are now in the early stage of the Golden Core, and this is the time when you need to increase your spirit and soul. This Supreme True Spirit Pill is most suitable for you."

"No merit, no reward..."

Zheng Fa was a little tempted after listening to this. After all, the Jiushan Realm was not good at alchemy.

And Tai Shang Dao, as Master Cheng Kong said, is famous for its alchemy.

His practice in the Jindan stage is really slow. If he can get this Taishang Zhenling Pill, it might be of some help.

"It was rumored that the chief monk would come early, so I thought about compensating you." Master Chengkong said, "But you don't want the land, and I can only take back the Qingjing Bamboo early. After thinking it over, I can only give you some suitable elixirs."

"I don't have this Supreme Spiritual Pill at the moment, so the First Master brought it to me when he came here this time."

It can be heard that Master Chengkong really put some thought into it.

Zheng Fa thought about it and told the truth: "In fact, I have gained a lot from using Qingjing Bamboo, so there is really no need to talk about compensation."

"Harvest?"

Master Chengkong turned his head and glanced at the Qingjing Bamboo. Seeing that not even a leaf was missing from the bamboo, his expression was full of disbelief, as if he thought Zheng Fa was comforting him.

He didn't say anything else, just pressed the pill tightly into Zheng Fa's palm.

"Master?"

"…Do you have any complaints?"

Master Chengkong suddenly asked.

"Absolutely not!"

"Then take it!" Master Chengkong said fiercely, "Otherwise, wouldn't you be putting me in an unfaithful and unjust position?"

“…”

Having said that, Zheng Fa had no choice but to put away the bottle of pills.

He took the Tai Shang Zhen Ling Dan and returned to the laboratory.

Uncle Pang had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the medicine bottle in his hand. He asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Master Chengkong's apology."

"apologize?"

Everyone was stunned, looking at the quiet bamboo embryo slowly taking shape in the culture dish, and then looking at the medicine bottle in Zheng Fa's hand, all of them were speechless.

Zheng Fa said helplessly: "What can I do? If I don't agree, he will turn hostile."

The face of the Blood River Patriarch was full of deep thought, and he actually felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart: Why does it feel like Zheng Fa is going back and forth to get treasures faster than their Holy Church is killing people to seize treasures?
