Chapter 200 Millennium Event
The task assignment was very simple. As the granddaughter of old man Sun, Sun Yanyan spontaneously stepped forward to take over the chores and began to assign tasks to several people. Ding Zhao was also assigned a task, which was to go to the market at the foot of the mountain to help purchase materials for drawing talismans.
The few people dispersed, and Ding Zhao also prepared to go down the mountain, but before he could walk far, the green figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ding Zhao, who was used to being humble, subconsciously lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Mountain Master."
"Senior Brother Ding, long time no see." The Qingyi Mountain Master stood in front, looked at Ding Zhao, and suddenly spoke.
Ding. Senior Brother?
Ding Zhaoyi was excited, his eyes widened, and he looked at the person in front of him with disbelief.
"Master Shan? Your Junior Brother Chen?!"
If the other party hadn't spoken in person, he would never have been able to connect these two people together. One was a younger disciple of the Wudao Peak of the Shenhu Xianmen, whose seniority was lower than his. The only thing worth noting was that he had mastered the technique of drawing talismans and was a first-level talisman master. The other was a foundation-building master who possessed a second-level spiritual vein and occupied Gumo Mountain. The gap between the two was so big that they would never be considered the same person.
Chen Luo looked at Ding Zhao in front of him and couldn't help but recall the first time he went up the mountain.
Ding Zhao was also wearing a green robe, standing in the library, giving people an unfathomable feeling. Later, he even used his spiritual power to throw them out. To him at the time, that method was like that of an immortal, and he couldn't understand it at all.
In the blink of an eye, more than a decade had passed, and the identities and status of the two had changed dramatically. The once "unfathomable" senior brother stood humbly below, not even daring to raise his head.
"How is the situation at the Immortal Gate?"
Chen Luo didn't care about the little grudges in the past. He came to Ding Zhao to find out about the current situation of Shenhu Xianmen. When he left, Immortal Wuwei told him that the ancestors of the Xianmen could only last for 30 years at most. The prosperity of the Xianmen was like a raging fire, seemingly prosperous, but in fact full of crises.
"Are you really Brother Chen?"
Ding Zhao still couldn't believe it. This gap was beyond his understanding. He couldn't imagine how a junior brother in the Qi Refining Realm could become a foundation-building cultivator in the evil cultivation land in just a dozen years, and even a strong one among the foundation-building cultivators, and a veteran demon who monopolized the second-level spirit vein.
If foundation building was so easy, there wouldn't be so many people stuck. Not to mention the cultivation of the foundation building stage, there are so many elders in Shenhu Xianmen, but only a handful of them are beyond the initial stage of foundation building. Is it that those elders don't want to advance? No! It's that they can't do it. Foundation building cultivation is ten or a hundred times more difficult than Qi Refining!
"Why should I lie to you?"
Chen Luo said this calmly.
"How did you get here? I remember you have some connections in the Immortal Sect."
After hearing this, Ding Zhaocai finally confirmed Chen Luo's identity.
Not many people knew about his connections in the Shenhu Xianmen, and he only revealed a little bit when he was spying on Chen Luo's 'Spirit Infusion Technique'.
Looking at the unfathomable Chen Luo in front of him, a feeling of dejection suddenly arose in his heart.
For so many years, what kind of immortality have I been cultivating? Recalling the days when he looked down from a high position, he felt that he had lived a dog's life all these years. His junior fellow apprentice had already established his foundation, but he was still at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He didn't even know when he would be able to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, let alone the endless Qi Refining Perfection.
He dared not even think about building a foundation. In other words, Ding Zhao did not know Chen Luo's true realm. If he knew that Chen Luo was already in the middle stage of building a foundation and was about to advance to the late stage, he would probably doubt his life.
"The Immortal Gate is still the same as before. With the old ancestor in charge, nothing has changed." After calming down, Ding Zhao began to answer Chen Luo's questions honestly.
Is the ancestor still here?
Chen Luo instantly knew the situation of Shenhu Xianmen, and the news that the ancestor was in trouble was not leaked. The elders of the Xianmen were not stupid. Even if they had found a way out, they would not leave early. They must get enough benefits in advance. If you change the sect, it will not be so easy to make money like Shenhu Xianmen.
"It was by chance that I came to the evil cultivation land."
Speaking of this, Ding Zhao showed a bitter smile on his face.
"At the beginning, I did have a backer in the sect. Elder An of Yaowang Peak had some relationship with our Ding family. I relied on Elder An's influence in the sect at that time."
Elder An?
Chen Luo looked at Ding Zhao, who looked very old, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. Elder An was the noble man who helped him make a fortune, and his brain was still helping him. The brain of Elder An was the main force in the Yang Yuan Pill he made not long ago.
"A few years ago, Elder An went missing and was confirmed dead by the Immortal Sect. Because our Ding family was too close to Elder An, they were liquidated by the enemy and our family was destroyed. In order to avoid being hunted down by the foundation-building masters, I had no choice but to flee to the evil cultivation area. At that time, there were more than 20 clansmen who fled with me."
There was no further talk.
Rise and fall with the trend.
This is normal in the world of cultivating immortals. Ding Zhao was just unlucky. The "momentum" he relied on was eliminated by Chen Luo. He was implicated and fell into disgrace, and ended up here.
"It's all in the past. I'll practice in the mountains from now on."
Chen Luo patted Ding Zhao's shoulder and didn't give him too much care. Allowing him to stay and enjoy the second-level spiritual vein was already the most he could do. He and Ding Zhao didn't have a deep friendship at the beginning, so this was enough. Too much is as bad as too little.
"Thank you, Mountain Master."
Ding Zhao lowered his head and bowed to Chen Luo's departing back.
He is no longer the senior brother he once was, but just a casual cultivator living under someone else's roof. Because he is a casual cultivator, he understands how difficult it is, and knows even more clearly that this opportunity is hard-won.
Time passed, and several months passed in a flash.
During this period of time, Chen Luo's reserve of elixirs gradually increased, and he also refined a set of Yimu sword array. A full set of first-level magic swords, a total of nine.
Chen Luo originally wanted to refine a second-level magic sword, but he had too little knowledge about refining weapons, and secondly, he lacked materials. The materials for refining magic weapons were of a different type. Just like refining pills, it was a money-burning business. Even if Chen Luo had Bei Yuji's brain as a foundation, he couldn't create a second-level magic weapon out of nothing. At most, he could rely on intuition and instinct to refine these ordinary magic swords into first-level fine products.
Although the magic sword is of a lower quality, the formation master's knowledge is sufficient.
Under his control, the nine magic swords were distributed to every corner of Gumo Mountain, and a second-order formation covering the entire mountain was completed. Within the formation, Chen Luo relied on the advantages of the sword formation to resist the strong men who had completed the foundation building and kill the enemies in the late stage of foundation building.
At this point, Chen Luo's control over the Gu Mo Mountain was finally secure.
In the room.
Chen Luo sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, preparing to practice the Heart Demon Technique as usual. He had practiced the Heart Demon Technique several times recently, and most of the time he was affected by the heart demons of ordinary people, and occasionally he would get lucky and blend into the scenes of high-level cultivators' tribulation.
The former yields little, but is safer.
The latter is not necessarily the case, as none of the high-level cultivators are easy to deal with.
During a practice session two days ago, the tribulation practitioner successfully overcame the "heart demon tribulation". The invisible power emitted when he was promoted almost killed this "heart demon" on the spot. In the end, he was able to escape death thanks to the reminder from the mummy's brain.
"Um?"
Stopping his action, Chen Luo waved his hand and saw a jade talisman flying out of the storage bag, with the fire-colored mark on it flashing continuously.
'Tushan Millennium Festival, sincerely invites fellow Taoists to gather, and has generous gifts for you. ——Su Linlin.'
This is the communication talisman left for him by the fox demon Su Linlin. With his current knowledge, he is not able to draw this kind of high-level talisman.
Chen Luo had wanted to go to the ancestral land of the fox clan to "worship" for a long time, and he was envious of the fox girl Su Linlin's qi-reading method.
"Tushan. Millennium Festival"
Chen Luo held the communication talisman in his hand, wondering whether he should make this trip.
His original plan was to go out and look for the opportunity to form a pill after the late stage of foundation building. Now that he has encountered it, it would be a pity to miss it. The ancestral land of the fox clan is not open to everyone. It is open once every thousand years, and the invited person must be guaranteed by a fox girl before entering.
"Then let's go. It won't take long anyway."
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Luo actually tapped on the jade talisman and sent back a message.
His current strength is equivalent to the late stage of foundation building, and he can protect himself against a strong man who has completed the foundation building. As long as he does not meet the Jindan ancestor, there is basically no danger.
After receiving the reply, the light on the jade talisman dimmed. Chen Luo calmed his mind and began a new round of practice.
The breath emerged, and the power of the Heart Demon Art emerged from the heart and surrounded the body.
Two days later.
In the early morning, a fragrant red shadow fell from the sky.
The person who came was the fox girl Su Linlin. Compared to the last time they met, Su Linlin's strength had increased. The spiritual dragon in her body had condensed into a second one. This was the benefit of having a big force behind her. There was someone to guide her at every step of her practice, and resources could be directly exchanged from within the clan.
"senior."
“We are all fellow foundation-building practitioners, why are you still calling me senior?” Chen Luo walked out of the house.
Su Linlin sensed it as soon as she arrived. With the deepening of her cultivation, her spiritual awareness had completely reached the state of perfection, not inferior to any foundation-building cultivator.
"Then I will call you Brother Chen."
Su Linlin said with a smile. Today, Su Linlin wore a fiery red feather dress. Unlike the charming one in the Qi Refining Realm, she now wore it like a fairy. The feather dress fluttered, and the fairy silk was surrounding her, like a fairy, giving people a feeling of elegance and luxury.
His entire style has changed, bringing out the best of the fox clan to its fullest.
"Let's go."
Chen Luo didn't react after taking a glance. Compared to Su Linlin, he wanted to go and worship the ancestors of the fox clan earlier.
I just don’t know how the guards of the fox clan’s ancestral land are. I hope they are not too strict.
Su Linlin smiled and nodded, and took the lead to fly into the air, with the fiery red fairy silk surrounding her body, carrying her to the distance. Chen Luoxu took a step, stepped out of the cliff with both feet, and a layer of light blue light appeared under his feet. The magic sword flowed, carrying him into a sword light and chasing after him.
