Kong Ju flew back to his cave, and originally wanted to stay with Mu Xiaoye for a while longer.
However, Dapeng and Mu Xiaoye were no longer seen inside or outside the cave, and even Huangfu Wuqin was nowhere to be found.
"I don't know where he went crazy again." Kong Ju shook his head.
Dapeng and Mu Xiaoye both have childish natures. Although Huangfu Wuqin usually acts like a senior sister, she is actually very playful at heart.
Where can two people and a bird go if they stay together? They will just cause chaos in the inner gate.
Fortunately, Huangfu Wuqin covered the trouble for Kong Ju, so he was relieved and decided not to look for them, enjoying some peace and quiet.
It was now approaching evening, and the monks from various sects who had come to congratulate had all left. The inner sect of Cangwu Sect was no longer as noisy as it was during the day. Except for the spiritual lamps still burning on the five peaks, the rest of the area was shrouded in twilight.
Kong Ju stepped into the cave with his hands behind his back, and was about to activate the formation to close the door.
Several long rainbows flew into the sky from the direction of the martial arts arena deep in the inner gate.
There were two women and one man, and they were Han Honghua, Yue Qiaoling and Shangguan Yuzhou.
"Junior Brother Kong, this is not right. You just returned to the sect and are going into seclusion again. We have finally got together, why don't you have a couple of drinks?" Shangguan Yuzhou's alcohol effect from lunch had worn off, and he was feeling shaky again.
After seeing Kong Ju, he stepped into the cave without saying a word. With a wave of his hand, dozens of jars of good wine were placed in the center of Kong Ju's cave.
He looks like he won't go home until he is drunk.
Han Honghua chimed in, "That's right. I'm here today, so little Confucius won't be able to retreat."
Yue Qiaoling covered her mouth and chuckled, looking like she was just going with the flow.
Kong Ju almost forgot that these people were still in Cangwu Sect, so he had to cheer up and waved his hand: "Then don't go home until you are drunk!"
After saying that, Kong Ju's eyes wandered around the three people, but he did not see Yuan Xiao.
"Did Yuan Xiao go back to the Tempering Gold Gate?"
"Why go back to the Tempering Gold Sect? I'm healing in your Alchemy Pavilion. I was beaten badly by the Second Prince of Tianqi in the fighting arena." Han Honghua sat on the stone bench in the cave, opened a jar of wine, drank a sip, and said with a mocking smile: "I thought Yuan Xiao could get back the advantage, but who knew he would be suppressed from the beginning to the end."
"It really brings shame to our Wudong."
"If you ask him to come over for a drink now, he won't have the face to come."
"You can't blame Fellow Daoist Yuan. The Second Prince of Tianqi's skills are truly domineering. He must be practicing the royal family's supreme secret book, 'Imperial Dao Dragon Qi'."
Yue Qiaoling seemed to know a lot about the secrets of the Tianqi royal family. She explained for Yuan Xiao, "Also, his cultivation level is higher than that of Yuan Daoyou. I'm afraid he is not far from the fetal light. Yuan Xiao's loss is not unfair."
When Kong Ju heard that Yuan Xiao lost to the second prince, it was not surprising to him.
Yuan Xiao is strong, but that is only true for Wudong’s generation.
As a member of the royal family, the Second Prince had probably received the best cultivation resources, skills, and essence of heaven and earth since childhood.
Judging from his appearance, he is not a pampered dandy and must have rich practical experience.
Yuan Xiao has met a tough opponent.
The four of them had already sat down around the stone table, on which was placed the appetizers that Shangguan Yuzhou had brought from the main peak.
Kong Ju was not polite either. He sat down on the stone bench and poured himself a glass of wine. He asked Han Honghua and Shangguan Yuzhou with a smile, "Why don't you help him vent his anger?"
"I actually wanted to go, but Prince Qingluan suddenly showed up and took the second prince away." Shangguan Yuzhou looked regretful when he said this.
There are not many fellow monks who can make Shangguan Yuzhou excited.
His biggest regret was that he didn't get to fight with the Second Prince.
"Then Prince Qingluan should be afraid of the reputation of your master, the Tianhe Sword Immortal. He is afraid that you will clash with each other, which will not be good for anyone." Han Honghua saw it clearly.
When Yuan Xiao and the Second Prince were fighting in the martial arts arena, Kong Ju was still in the forbidden area. He was also interested in the Second Prince's strength. While chatting, he asked Shangguan Yuzhou casually, "I wonder what are the chances of Senior Brother Shangguan winning against the Second Prince?"
Shangguan Yuzhou was very serious about the battle. When Kong Ju asked him casually, he thought about it for a long time before saying, "About 40% to 50%."
"That guy has some of Lingxi's flavor. He's not someone you can easily deal with."
Shangguan Yuzhou is already the best swordsman of this generation in Wudong.
He also used the Sword Breeding Wheel and, together with it, Xiyou, the most suitable person for sword cultivation among the essences of heaven and earth, with a large sum of money to bless him.
It has already reached the low level of Xuan-level Taoism, with the sword singing in the water.
Even with Dongxian's inheritance, his chances of winning were only 40 to 50 percent. This made Kong Ju think more highly of the Second Prince.
"Brother Shangguan only has a 40% to 50% chance of winning, so the Second Prince is a tough guy."
"How about I go meet him tomorrow?" Han Honghua was eager to try, as she was also a combat fanatic.
"Since we already know the details of the Second Prince, there is no need for Sister Hua to try again." Kong Ju shook his head and advised, "After all, he is from Tianqi. His purpose in coming to Wudong is unclear. It is better to be on guard."
The relationship between Wudong and Tianqi is not incompatible, but it is not much better either.
There have been frictions in history.
Han Honghua and Shangguan Yuzhou are both geniuses of Wudong's generation. If their secrets are discovered, they will be in a passive position when they confront each other in the future.
Yue Qiaoling is the leader of this generation of Medicine King Valley. Although her cultivation is not as good as the others present, she has inherited the wisdom of her master Yuwen Kui. She nodded and agreed, "Fellow Daoist Kong, what you said makes sense. The Tianqi royal family has rarely had any dealings with Wudong since ancient times. This time, they are sending gifts under the pretext of your sect hosting a banquet for all parties. I don't know what they are thinking. It's better to be on guard."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's drink. Sister Hua and Fellow Daoist Yue, don't rush to leave these days. Stay in Cangwu Sect for two more days." Shangguan Yuzhou still had to listen to Kong Ju's words. Seeing that he could not go into battle to fight with the Second Prince, he simply stopped thinking about it and kept urging them to drink.
The four of them began to chat about all sorts of things, and naturally the topic they talked about the most was the battle against the Dingyue Sect.
Speaking of the scene of the ten great palm masters fighting each other, there was hope in everyone's eyes.
Then they talked about Taoist Miao Jiang from Cuijin Sect who died on the battlefield, and there was another sigh.
The four of them drank all night long and left only in the early morning.
Kong Ju was also a little drunk. After bidding farewell to the three people one by one, he prepared to return to his cave to meditate and work off the alcohol. He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what kind of spiritual medicine this sect's spiritual wine is made of. I've already reached the Ascension Wheel realm, and I feel a little dizzy after drinking too much."
Kong Ju was just about to close the cave when Han Honghua came back.
Under Kong Qi's astonished gaze, two tightly wrapped bodies were thrown into the cave.
"These are the bodies of the two Shengluns killed by Qinghu Fudi. I specially collected them and saved them for you to refine puppets."
Han Honghua had a good alcohol tolerance and there was no sign of drunkenness on her face. She came back just to bring materials for puppet refining to Kong Ju.
She might be afraid that Yue Qiaoling would see this scene, so she took it out at this time.
This made Kong Ju very grateful: "Sister Hua is so thoughtful."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
These two corpses are just right for refining intermediate puppets.
Kong Ju has broken through to the Shenglun level and is already able to refine a puppet with Shenglun's combat power, but he is still worried about how to deal with Shenglun's corpse.
"Haha, who are we following? I'm leaving first and will come to find you later." Han Honghua waved her hand heroically and flew away.
Kong Ju then closed the cave door, put away the two bodies of Shenglun, and smiled.
"Now we have two more helpers."
The intermediate puppet refining has strength comparable to that of the lifting wheel, and is no longer the cannon fodder of the low-level puppet refining.
Once refined, they will become two powerful assistants.
Kong Ju was secretly pleased with himself.
Suddenly, Shi Jinchi's voice was heard from the cave entrance which had just been closed.
"Is Kong Ju here? I'm here to give you something on the orders of the Sect Master."
"Master Shi, please come in quickly!" Kong Ju had no idea what Shi Jinchi had come to bring him. He suppressed the excitement in his eyes and opened the door of the cave.
The banquet had just ended and Shi Jinchi was busy with many things to do. He put down an exquisite jade box and left in a hurry. He probably didn't even know what was in the jade box.
Kong Ju sent Shi Jinchi out of the cave, then he took a deep breath, closed the cave formation and slowly opened the jade box.
The moment the lid of the box was opened, extremely cold air eagerly seeped out through the gap.
The temperature of the entire cave dropped sharply.
The frost spread rapidly from the jade box, covering every corner of the cave.
The color of the frost is black, which makes people feel terrified at the first sight.
"Yuehua Yinshuang!" Kong Ju called out the name of the object in the jade box softly, his eyes already looking into the jade box.
A fist-sized ball of the essence of heaven and earth in the form of black mysterious ice was placed there in shock.
It is the 57th ranked Earth Grade, Yuehua Yinshuang.
It is the yin among yins, condensed from thousands of years of death, and can destroy life.
Anything frozen by it will continue to be corroded by the death energy until it dies.
Because it is not an ice essence born from the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is inferior to the essence of frost and snow.
But its power in combat and killing is definitely not weaker than the essence of frost and snow.
Kong Ju was just standing in front of Yuehua Yinshuang, and black death energy like hair began to climb up his body.
Want to devour all his life.
However, its power was severely suppressed by Kong Ju's Ice Soul Dao.
Not much damage was done.
"If this thing is absorbed, the spiritual energy will probably have the characteristics of destroying life, which is a good way to harm people."
Kong Ju only took a glance and after confirming that it was Yuehua Yinshuang, he quickly sealed it back in the jade box.
Huangfu Ying once told Kong Ju to introduce the Moonlight Frost into his Dao foundation when he reached the peak of the foundation-building stage and broke through the fetal light.
Kong Ju was still a long way from reaching the peak of foundation building, so he put it in the jade box for later use.
"This jade box is not a simple spiritual object. It can isolate the Yin energy of Yuehua Yinshuang. I can keep it to hold other essences of heaven and earth in the future."
Kong Ju patted the jade box and put it into his Qiankun bag.
Having Yuehua Yinshuang is equivalent to having the key to step into the earth level of Taoism.
Kong Jue was naturally in a very good mood when he was careful.
"As long as I reach the peak of foundation building, I will be promoted to earth-grade Dao foundation."
