Qian Dai patted his fat body and responded with a smile.

The moment the two sides clasped their fists in greeting, he had already sensed Shen Lian's realm, which was the same as he had expected, the middle stage of the Golden Core.

However, the aura that Shen Lian brought to him was no longer the same as it was back then.

Back then, he could still sense the energy of thunder and fire in Shen Lian's body, but now the aura Shen Lian brought to him was extremely mysterious. Sometimes it was like a dormant volcano, and the next moment it turned into a bottomless abyss.

This feeling only shows that Shen Lian's strength is even more terrifying than he expected.

Qian Dai sensed Shen Lian, and Shen Lian naturally also sensed Qian Dai's aura, who was also in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

In addition, he also sensed two auras of heat and cold from Qian Dai. These two auras were not ordinary. One of the changes of the yin and yang power was the alternation of hot and cold.

This fat brother has taken a step ahead in taking the path of controlling yin and yang.

After exchanging greetings, the two sat down in the cave. Qian Fei walked over slowly and made spiritual tea for them, then tactfully left the cave.

"After several decades of absence, I am glad to see that my fellow Daoist has advanced to the Golden Core stage and has even entered the middle stage of the Golden Core stage."

Qian Dai picked up the teacup and said with a chuckle, "Qian has a certain physique. It seems that Fellow Daoist Lu also has a predestined relationship with him. His cultivation speed is even faster than Qian's."

"I have been running all the way, but I can't compare to the leisure time of Fellow Daoist Qian. It's just that I have some opportunities on the road."

Shen Lian responded casually, "I left the Wanxing Sea before. Due to my low strength, I encountered danger when crossing the Wanxing Sea. Even my storage bracelet broke, and the communication jade talisman given by Fellow Daoist Qian was also lost."

I just briefly explained the matter of the jade talisman for sending messages.

Qian Dai didn't care about this. He guessed that Shen Lian had also left Wanxinghai, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to contact him so often.

He said that Shen Lian's cultivation speed was very fast. When they first met, he had already reached the ninth level of foundation building, which was at least three levels higher than Shen Lian.

Unexpectedly, in the same period of time, Shen Lian not only narrowed the gap between them by several small levels, but also reached the same level as them.

"Daoist Lu is too modest. With Daoist Lu's fate, it is more than just this. However, Daoist Lu, you must be careful on your path of cultivation. This path of cultivation is not peaceful."

Qian Dai's next words made Shen Lian's expression calm down.

Based on his understanding of Qian Dai, Qian Dai was born into a Jindan family in Wanxinghai, and later had close ties with the Xuanshi Sect.

When Shen Lian first learned about the development model of the Xuanshi Sect, he was shocked. He was even more surprised that under such a model, the Xuanshi Sect was still only a Jindan level sect. It was too unreasonable.

To be qualified to form a sect like this, one must at least be at the Nascent Soul stage.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, do you have any way to teach me?"

Qian Dai narrowed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Brother Daoist Lu, you think too highly of me. What can I do? Unless Brother Daoist Lu does not have five spiritual roots, the probability of being targeted by others is not small."

"I can only say that if you need Qian in the future, Brother Lu can ask for my help. If Qian can help, I will definitely not refuse."

Qian Dai picked up the teapot and poured tea for Shen Lian. Then he changed the subject and said, "However, I do have a few suggestions. If you think it's wrong, just treat it as a joke."

"I'd like to hear more about it."

Shen Lian made an inviting gesture.

“The Jindan stage is a critical period, and it is the best time for the old guys to seize the body.

In the future, Brother Lu should avoid taking action if possible. If he really has to take action, he must erase all traces of his action.

The strength at the foundation-building level is too low, and many of the cultivators' potentials have not been stimulated.

When the Jindan level cultivator experiences a thunder calamity from heaven and earth, his latent potential will be stimulated by the rules of heaven and earth.

In addition, if you take over another body during the Jindan stage, you will be struck by lightning less often.

For the person who possesses another's body, every thunder tribulation is equivalent to a torture according to the rules of heaven and earth.

It will be much better when you reach the Nascent Soul level, and almost no one will try to take over the body of a Nascent Soul.

But this is not without exception. In the past, there was a monster in the world of immortal cultivation who took over the body of a Yuanying cultivator. "

Qian Dai picked up the teacup and took a sip, squinting his eyes as if thinking.

"Have you ever heard of the Exiled Immortal Tower, Brother Lu?"

"Exiled Immortal Tower?"

Hearing the voice, Shen Lian's eyes showed some fluctuations.

Exiled Immortal, what a big tone, he actually uses the name of Exiled Immortal.

Don’t think that all cultivators, big and small, in the world of immortal cultivation are in the name of cultivating immortals. From the small ones like practicing Qi to the big ones like Nascent Soul and becoming a god, for them, becoming an "immortal" is far away and unattainable.

“I don’t know when this force appeared. They will hunt down cultivators with five spiritual roots. This is why I want you to avoid taking action as much as possible.

Fellow Daoist Lu was able to advance from the sixth or seventh level of foundation building to the middle stage of Golden Core in just thirty years. There is no need for Qian to say much about the quality of his spiritual roots. We must be on guard against the Exiled Immortal Tower.

The Exiled Immortals Tower has special secrets and magic weapons that can sense the aura of the five elements of magic power. Once you are targeted by them, it is difficult to get rid of them. "

…

"Been taught a lesson."

Shen Lian stood up and bowed to Qian Dai.

Qian Dai described it in great detail. The Exiled Immortal Tower had a wide influence, covering many cultivation circles.

Even the big sects that have cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage or the Great Perfection stage have to retreat in front of the Exiled Immortal Tower. This is not the first time that the Exiled Immortal Tower has snatched the five spiritual roots that were trained by the big sects.

"Brother Lu is not fighting alone. The Exiled Immortal Tower not only captures cultivators with five spiritual roots, but also cultivators with special spiritual bodies. It just so happens that Qian has a weak physique, so he is also among those being captured by the Exiled Immortal Tower."

“Although the Exiled Immortals Tower acts recklessly and without scruples, their power is too strong and cannot be resisted by the cultivation world in a certain area.

Most Yuanying sects would keep quiet even if their people were robbed, or use their connections to find friends and spend some money to get the people back."

"If God wants to destroy someone, he will make him rampant."

After listening to Qian Dai's description, Shen Lian blurted out this sentence for no reason.

"Yes, if God wants to destroy them, he will make them rampant."

Qian Dai nodded and repeated the sentence very solemnly.

Once upon a time... the Exiled Immortal Tower is now playing with all the leftovers from the Xuanshi Sect... It's all tears to talk about it.

…

Inside the cave, Shen Lian and Qian Dai got along better and better as they talked, and later on, the spiritual tea was replaced with spiritual wine.

Shen Lian did not hide anything and talked about some things in the South China Sea as a casual chat. Of course, he did not talk about his own affairs.

Even if there are some things that cannot be avoided, he still has a friend.

"I have a friend who happens to..."

…

During the communication with Qian Dai, Shen Lian felt that Qian Dai was more and more extraordinary, and he could easily mention many secrets of the world of immortal cultivation from Qian Dai.

These things may not be a big deal for the forces at the Nascent Soul level, but they should not be known to the Jindan Qian family and the Xuanshi Sect.

“Brother Lu, as long as he survives the Golden Core Stage, the rest of his journey to becoming an immortal will be smooth sailing. After the five elements are complete and he has reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage, he can try to reach the Void Refining Stage. But that’s not the case for me, as I still need to complete the five elements.

Nowadays, the spiritual essence of this world is almost exhausted. If one wants to find spiritual objects to complete the five elements, one must either take over the body of a cultivator with five spiritual roots, or leave the world of cultivation and search for them in the outside world.

But there is endless darkness outside the world of immortal cultivation. Even if an old monster who has reached the state of god transformation goes out, there is a high probability that he will not be able to come back.

These old guys don’t dare to go out, so they can only bring trouble to their own people.”

…

"Be careful of the Exiled Immortal Tower, they can be very ruthless."

…

Three days and three nights later.

"By the way, Brother Lu, you didn't come back just to buy some ore from me this time, did you?"

"I'm here to seek help from Brother Qian. Is there a suitable secret place for cultivation? I need to go into seclusion for a while."

Hearing the sound, Qian Dai sobered up immediately.

"Isolate it from Yuanying's prying eyes?"

After a moment, Qian Dai said, "Yes, it's right here in Cape Fairy City, in the training room of my Fenglei Spirit Ship."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows. It really is true!

Now, he could further confirm that Qian Dai was extraordinary, and the Xuanshi Sect was also quite extraordinary.

"I'll have someone clean up the spirit ship. Brother Lu can go anytime."

"In addition, I have a lot of reserves of the space stones, dark stones, and various warm jades that you need in my hometown. They will be delivered within half a month."

Shen Lian didn't say anything more, just clasped his fists.

I don't need to thank you for your great kindness, but I owe you this time.

…

Half a day later, Shen Lian returned to the cave he rented, took out a jade slip and gave it to the old monster Zi Yang.

"What's this?"

Old Monster Zi Yang took the jade slip and sensed it.

"Where did you get such detailed information?"

Zi Yang was a little surprised when he sensed the contents of the jade slip.

After Shen Lian agreed to come to Wanxing Sea to look for the Five Elements Magical Artifact, he dragged his feet along the way, hunting monsters and meeting friends, but he did not stop him.

In fact, Zi Yang just wanted to see what Shen Lian was up to.

After three thousand years of cultivation, what is left now is not only the Nascent Soul, but also a lot of experience. How can he not be on guard?

Similarly, Shen Lian also realized this. He had to act out the whole thing, even if he wanted to kill Zi Yang.

But as long as it is not launched at the last minute, he will be busy as if he is really cooperating.

“My friend has a lot of connections in the Wanxing Sea. This is only the first batch of lists of weapon refiners on some islands. There will be a second and third batch soon.

The person who can refine the Five Elements Magical Instruments must be at least a second-rank instrument refiner, and such an instrument refiner is not an unknown person even among the islands of the Ten Thousand Star Sea.

I have asked my friend to investigate. I believe it won't take long to screen it all. Now that we have a target, we can take action.

This can be considered as an insurance policy. The interior of the Ten Thousand Star Sea is so vast, and the Desolate Sea is even more vast. Even with the search formation composed of the Five Spiritual Roots Golden Core, it is still like looking for a needle in a haystack. "

Sensing the list and distribution of equipment refiners in the jade slip, Zi Yang didn't think there was anything wrong.

After all, what Shen Lian did was definitely a serious matter.

"Since this is just the beginning, I have already explained that when we investigate weapon refiners next time, we will focus on investigating the types of magic weapons they have refined in the past few decades. This will make it easier to identify them."

Shen Lian did not lie at all, he really paid Qian Dai to do this matter.

Tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones are real.

Of course, most of these tens of millions of spirit stones are used to purchase ore.

After giving Zi Yang a reassurance, Shen Lian also began the final preparations.

He has no experience in killing a Yuanying.

But fellow Taoists who have killed people know that no one has experience at the beginning.

…

In the early morning, a stream of light fell outside the cave, revealing Qian Fei's beautiful figure standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, the owner of my family invites you to a gathering."

The soft sound passed through the formation and entered the cave.

Inside the cave, Shen Lian, who was cultivating, opened his eyes, and with a flash of light, his secondary soul walked out.

"This is our juniors' gathering, so you should just stay at home and take a rest."

Zi Yang emerged from the Five Elements Ship as a shadow and looked at Qian Fei standing outside. "You have a wide range of tastes. You have close friends wherever you go."

Shen Lian waved his hand casually, "That's nothing. I have a friend who has a close female friend within a hundred miles of a place he goes to."

"See you later, senior."

After leaving a few words, Shen Lian flew out of the cave and followed Qian Fei towards the outside of Cape Fairy City.

Zi Yang looked at the deputy soul puppet. It was normal for Shen Lian to go out without him many times. After all, it was not good to have someone eavesdropping on him while doing things.

This reason is also reasonable.

"sleep."

…

All the way to the Fenglei Ling ship outside the city.

"Please come in, Fellow Daoist Lu. My host is waiting in the secret room."

After Qian Fei invited Shen Lian into the secret room of the spirit ship, she did not go in but left directly.

The secret room was filled with a faint mist and the floor was paved with warm jade. Qian Dai was certainly not waiting for him inside.

After Shen Lian entered the secret room, he sat cross-legged for three days and three nights. His spiritual thoughts covered every corner of the secret room.

The divine mind talisman attached to the inside of the robe did not make any vibration.

It is worthy of being a secret room that can protect against the prying eyes of fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivators, and it has added two layers of protection.

The first layer is a circle of gauze woven with fourth-grade wormwood wool, which is used to isolate the internal and external breaths.

In the middle is a fourth-order cloud-patterned spirit-gathering formation, which is used to prevent peeping and sensing of attached souls.

A fourth-tier spiritual herb was not a big deal, maybe he had found one somewhere, but a fourth-tier formation...

"Brother Qian, Xuanshi Sect, it seems that my guess is correct."

After checking for three days and three nights, Shen Lian finally began to feel relieved.

Although he is not a fourth-level formation master, the fourth-level formation is not something that cannot be peeped at in his eyes.

"Senior Zi Yang, please come out. There is a fourth-order formation for protection here. It is impossible for the divine consciousness you separated to connect with the Nascent Soul."

Suddenly, Shen Lian activated the formation and took a defensive stance.

After the fourth-level formation was activated, countless black spider phantoms appeared in the entire secret room, constantly spitting spider silk to cover the entire secret room.

During this process, if there is an independent soul or mind, it will be captured by the spider web.

After some inspection, Shen Lian finally confirmed it.

Zi Yang didn't follow.

Qian Dai didn't do anything.

It's time.

To deal with Zi Yang, he currently has two methods prepared, formation and talismans. As for himself, he will mainly rely on defense.

As long as he could withstand the backlash from the Nascent Soul, he would be invincible.

With a wave of his hand, a series of things flew out from the storage ring, including five third-level demon kings, various bronze utensils, and magical medicines and herbs.

First make the five elements spiritual ink, then store it into the body to nourish it, and then refine the ore needed for the formation.

Strive to create the main battle formation and talismans at one time, plus backup, backup of backup, backup of backup... and so on, to send Zi Yang to see grandma all at once.
