The two chatted and laughed.
Shangguan Yuzhou inevitably talked about Kong Ju's current cultivation level as the chief of life.
"Tsk tsk, Junior Brother Kong, you are so good. I can still vividly remember the scene when you and I met in the Miscellaneous Book Building."
"At that time, no one would have thought that a disciple who guarded the Miscellaneous Book Building would have the talent to lead a life."
Talking about the past, and then looking at Kong Ju, who now has unfathomable cultivation, Shangguan Yuzhou sighed endlessly.
"Brother Shangguan, isn't it almost time?" Kong Ju held the wine glass and smiled at him meaningfully.
Shangguan Yuzhou's cultivation level is now extremely unstable, and the three souls of Taiguang, Youjing and Shuangling in his body are shining brightly, almost unable to be suppressed.
This is the sign of a breakthrough.
Since they were still in the outer sect, Shangguan Yuzhou had been competing with Kong Ju in terms of cultivation level. He replied with a bit of frustration: "Isn't that six years behind you?"
Speaking of the word "six years", Zhou Tingyu asked Kong Ju curiously, "Why did Senior Brother Kong go out for six years this time?"
Zhou Tingyu has been in contact with the top leaders of the Cangwu Sect since she was a child, and she knows very well how long it will take to break through the Palm of Life.
Three years is already considered a long time. Generally speaking, if it exceeds five years, the success rate of a breakthrough is pitifully low.
It took Kong Ju six years, and Zhou Tingyu was worried that Kong Ju would die on the road to breakthrough.
"Oh, it's a long story." Kong Ju shook his head, looking unwilling to talk about it, and replied with the universal perfunctory words: "It's better not to mention it."
Shangguan Yuzhou, Zhou Tingyu and Mu Xiaoye who were present were all close friends of Kong Ju. Seeing that Kong Ju was unwilling to say more, they guessed that Kong Ju had encountered danger during the breakthrough process.
Therefore, he did not ask any more questions and let Kong Qi fool him.
After a few words of conversation, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Shangguan Yuzhou and Zhou Tingyu began to talk about the six years that Kong Ju had been in seclusion and the situations of his familiar friends around him.
Of course, most of the topics they talked about were some old friends they knew in common.
For example, Han Honghua, Yuan Xiao, and Yue Qiaoling.
"Sister Hua also went into seclusion a year ago to strive for the Palm Life."
"Haha, luckily Yuan Xiao is still in the Soul Transformation realm, so I didn't become the last one among us." Shangguan Yuzhou did not grit his teeth when he mentioned Yuan Xiao for the first time.
Zhou Tingyu smiled and replied, "I heard from my aunt that Senior Brother Yuan Xiao was delayed in his breakthrough because he couldn't find the right Lightning Attraction Technique."
"He is ambitious. He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to break through the Palm Life, use the Lightning Induction Technique to temper his body, and completely surpass Senior Sister Han Honghua."
Mu Xiaoye, who had been unable to speak, had been busy drinking.
Now that she has grown up, and because she and Shangguan Yuzhou have the same master, she was inevitably turned into a drunkard by Shangguan Yuzhou.
Fortunately, Kong Ju didn't care about her anymore, and she drank happily.
However, when she heard Zhou Tingyu comparing Yuan Xiao and Han Honghua, she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Sister Hua's aptitude in physical cultivation is second to none in Wudong. Even if Senior Brother Yuan Xiao found the right Yin Lei Jue to temper his body, he would definitely not be a match for Sister Hua."
Mu Xiaoye’s strength is already quite strong, and he is qualified to judge a genius of Han Honghua’s level.
Her idea was deeply agreed by Kong Ju, who secretly said, "It's sad that Yuan Xiao was born in the same era as Sister Hua."
"Not to mention Wudong, it's hard to find a physical cultivator with the same aptitude as Sister Hua in the four regions and one sea."
"He will never be able to get rid of the title of perennial runner-up."
Thinking of this, Kong Ju glanced back and forth between Shangguan Yuzhou and Mu Xiaoye.
Mu Xiaoye is the last of Wudong's generation.
As Shangguan Yuzhou, Han Honghua and Yuan Xiao broke through one after another.
There will be another huge update and iteration in the ranking on the Wudong Hidden Dragon List.
"Time is unforgiving."
Kong Jue was so emotional.
Speaking of the Thunder Attracting Technique, Kong Ju asked Shangguan Yuzhou if he had any idea of using the thunder tribulation to break through when he broke through the Palm of Life.
Shangguan Yuzhou smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Lightning Attraction Techniques suitable for sword cultivators are extremely rare."
"When Master was searching for the four seas and one region, he only found three books of Lightning Attraction Technique that were barely enough to use."
"I'm going to pick one of those three and make do with it."
Because of the changes in spiritual power in the Xianyun Realm, there were obvious gaps in the cultivation methods, Taoism, and lightning-inducing techniques.
As a result, Shangguan Yuzhou and Yuan Xiao were unable to find a suitable lightning-inducing technique.
This was within Kong Qi's expectations.
He nodded silently, secretly thinking about Shangguan Yuzhou's thunder-inducing strategy.
Of course, he couldn't use the lightning-inducing technique suitable for sword practitioners.
The Dragon Transformation and Lightning Attraction Technique is suitable for monsters and physical cultivators.
Futian Yinlei is only suitable for disciples of Guanghan Palace, but it can be used by Mu Xiaoye in the future.
Shangguan Yuzhou wanted to obtain the Thunder-Inducing Technique suitable for sword practitioners. In Kong Ju's opinion, there was only one way.
"Monument of Enlightenment!" Kong Ju tapped his fingers lightly on the wine table.
The Enlightenment Stele was cast by Baidi by collecting all the laws in the world.
Not only can it help people gain enlightenment, but the stele also contains all kinds of profound truths.
There must also be a method to attract lightning.
In his hand he had the order to summon the Enlightenment Monument in the present world.
Anyway, he was planning to use the Enlightenment Monument to perfect his Second Halberd of Return to Silence in the near future, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring Shangguan Yuzhou along at that time.
"Just like Prince Tianqi did, tell a lie and explain the origin of the Enlightenment Monument, then let Senior Brother Shangguan swear a Heavenly Dao oath and observe the Enlightenment Monument. There is no need to worry about leaks."
Thinking of this, Kong Ju secretly glanced at Mu Xiaoye again.
"Bring Ono along when the time comes. Maybe she can improve her kendo skills even more."
"It doesn't matter if you look at the Enlightenment Monument alone or with someone else."
She was not cut out for cultivation and wasn't good at fighting, but she had made some achievements in alchemy.
When the war breaks out, I will definitely be responsible for logistics, not charging into battle.
With a secret plan in mind, Kong Ju has already begun planning when to bring down the Enlightenment Monument.
He had also thought of the location to lead them down.
In addition to Qinghu blessed land, is there a second choice?
"I have to trouble Master Changqing again."
Of course, the matter of the Enlightenment Monument needs to be handled with extreme caution. Kong Ju picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine. He did not intend to mention it here.
This gathering did not last long.
Half a day later, Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou agreed to meet again on another day, and then they returned to the inner gate.
Just as he was about to wait until night to find Shangguan Yuzhou and Mu Xiaoye alone, and then agree on a time to take them to Qinghu Blessed Land.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Outside his cave, Kong Ju saw from afar a man in red clothes and with a pair of triangular eyes.
Isn’t he the water-listening python Ting Yanke who was abducted from the Endless Sea to the Cangwu Sect by Kong Ju?
Six years is nothing compared to the long life of the Palm-Life Demon King.
I heard from Shangguan Yuzhou that as the master of the sixth peak of the inner sect, Ting Yanke rarely needs to take action on weekdays, so he has lived a leisurely life in the past six years.
He appeared at the entrance of Kong Ju's cave, obviously having heard the news of Kong Ju's return.
As for the purpose of coming.
Kong Ju understood roughly what was going on when he saw Ting Yanke for the first time.
"Oh, I was so busy with the breakthrough of Palm Life that I forgot to refine the Questioning Divine Ability for Ting Yanke."
"This guy must be here for this."
He smiled bitterly to himself and realized that more than six years had passed.
Ting Yanke had been looking forward to Kong Ju's return for a long time, so naturally he came here as soon as possible.
Kong Ju pretended to be calm, then immediately lowered his body, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and walked forward to greet him.
"Fellow Daoist Yan Ke, how are you? Are you getting used to staying in Cangwu Sect?"
"Haha, your sect is so beautiful and has a different scenery compared to the Endless Sea. I am so happy that I don't even have time to talk about getting used to it."
Ting Yanke has been in the Cangwu sect for several years, and the way he speaks is becoming more and more like a human monk.
But his hoarse voice still makes people shake their heads.
After saying this, Kong Ju saw hesitation on the face of the water python, as if it had something to say but found it difficult to speak. Although it was smiling on the surface, there was anxiety in its eyes.
Without waiting for him to speak, Kong Ju hurriedly said, "To be honest with you, Brother Ke, I have been away for six years and just returned from my mission less than three days ago."
"Although I was busy with the breakthrough of the Palm of Life, I never forgot about Fellow Daoist Yan Ke."
"Don't worry, the things I promised you will be delivered to you soon."
Kong Ju heard the assurance by patting his chest.
The anxiety in Ting Yanke's eyes finally dissipated a lot and turned into a look of joy.
"Fellow Daoist Kong Ju is very thoughtful. There is no need to rush. I will just wait a little longer."
It would be strange if Kong Ji believed it.
During these six years, Ting Yanke had not yet comprehended any supernatural powers, apparently limited by his aptitude.
Aptitude is different from talent.
The Green Ox Python spine that Changqing Zhenren gave him changed his bloodline and enhanced his potential and talent.
And aptitude is understanding.
Ting Yanke's comprehension ability is obviously not good enough.
It would take dozens or even hundreds of years for him to realize his supernatural powers.
So Kong Ju agreed on a time with him and then politely sent Ting Yanke away.
"Alas, it seems that the matter of the Enlightenment Monument has to be put on hold." Looking at the direction where Ting Yanke left, Kong Ju sighed with a wry smile.
He must refine the elixir he brought back from Lingxiao's treasury.
Ting Yanke's arrival simply brought this process forward. Kong Ju did not think that Ting Yanke was a hindrance. After all, he had promised him and he could not go back on his word.
The matter of the Enlightenment Monument will inevitably be delayed.
"It will take some time to refine these batches of pills, so I need to inform Senior Brother Shangguan first." After taking a break to think, Kong Ju rose into the air again.
He first found Shangguan Yuzhou and said that he would take him to a place where there was a great opportunity.
Kong Ju didn't say anything specific, and Shangguan Yuzhou didn't ask too many questions out of trust in Kong Ju. He agreed without hesitation and put his plan to break through to the Palm of Life on hold for the time being, waiting for Kong Ju to finish refining the elixir.
Then Kong Ju found Mu Xiaoye again.
In the same way, he told her not to wander around during this period and to wait for him to come out.
Needless to say, Mu Xiaoye's trust in Kong Jue.
After doing all this, Kong Ju returned to the cave.
He hung a wooden sign saying "Retreat" at the door, preparing to start refining the elixir.
He had a total of two sets of materials for the Soul-Returning Pill, two sets of materials for the Transformation Pill, and two sets of materials for the Divine Power.
A total of six third-grade ancient elixirs need to be refined.
Kong Ju calculated: "These seven furnaces of elixirs will conservatively take half a year."
Fortunately, half a year is not too long for the great master Zhang Sheng.
Kong Ju no longer hesitated, pointed his finger at his forehead, and took out the Xuanwu furnace. (End of this chapter)
