The Butian Sect, a single man with nothing, opened its doors in a small fairy city in a remote area of ​​the immortal cultivation world.

Fellow Daoist Shen Lian, the self-appointed leader, was currently scratching his ears and cheeks.

It's like a mouse with numb claws, not knowing what to do next.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will be fine after it passes."

"First, I have to be safe. Everyone has to communicate with me through a single line. I can't reveal my true identity, lest someone stabs me in the back."

"It's better to hire fewer people, but we have to ensure the character of the people we choose."

"After I upgrade the level of my equipment, refine an identity jade token, and add some communication receiving functions, I should be able to do it within tens or even millions of miles."

"Only I can pass on this jade token. No one else can communicate with me. At least everyone's identity should be kept secret until it reaches a certain scale."

"To be on the safe side, we are currently only accepting Jindan-level cultivators for a trial run. If there are any problems, we can easily control the overall situation and avoid falling into crisis."

"Let's determine it based on the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang grade. The name is the Angel of Replenishment. The Golden Core Stage is the Yellow Grade Angel of Replenishment. When I advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, I will take in the Xuan Grade Angel of Replenishment."

"Transformation into a spirit... forget it, let's talk about it later. You can't eat a hot bun in a hurry."

…

While thinking, Shen Lian took out the Five Elements Warship and turned it into a furnace that was suspended in front of him.

He refined the third-level Crimson Cloud Transformation Pill for the fellow Taoist who was almost killed by his words.

The reason why he wants to refine this elixir is nothing but because he currently has the medicinal materials for this elixir, and other varieties cannot be refined.

A person who has suffered the greatest sorrow than a dead heart must have a deep story. He has been hiding in the wilderness for nearly two hundred years. Such a person is still worth collecting.

Only those who are good at hiding and practicing in seclusion can live long, and such people are his goal.

The Five Elements Alchemy Fire turned into a ball and rushed into the alchemy furnace. Shen Lian plucked the Crimson Cloud Spirit Grass that he had just planted from the cave and put it into the alchemy furnace.

Under the burning of the five-colored fire, the leaves of the Crimson Cloud Spirit Grass first curled up, then melted little by little, emitting a purple halo.

There were strange phenomena in the process of refining the third-level elixir. Groups of purple clouds were overflowing from the elixir furnace, and the rising heat enveloped the entire cave.

Seeing that the Crimson Cloud Spirit Grass had melted into medicinal liquid, Shen Lian began to put the auxiliary herbs into the alchemy furnace one by one.

The auxiliary medicines are all second-level, and the refined medicinal liquid is quickly swallowed and fused by the purple cloud-falling medicinal liquid.

Shen Lian cast a series of spells and began to purify the impurities in the medicine.

Since you want to accept Qiushan, you naturally have to give him some sweet treats so that he can see hope for the future.

Therefore, this time he prepared a top-quality Crimson Cloud Transformation Pill.

Now that we have the top-quality Crimson Cloud Pill, how far will the top-quality Dragon-Replenishing Yuan Pill be? First, give him a Crimson Cloud Pill and let him see the strength of the Butian Sect.

…

A few days later.

Sensing the medicinal power surging in the alchemy furnace, the pills had already taken shape, and Shen Lian made some magic gestures.

“Congeal!

Inside the alchemy furnace, nine pills took shape in an instant, emitting dazzling purple light.

"out."

The lid of the alchemy furnace flew up, and nine longan-sized purple spiritual-patterned pills flew out one after another and landed in front of Shen Lian.

There are nine pills, five of which are of high quality, and four of which are of low quality.

The reason why there are no medium-quality pills is mainly because Shen Lian concentrated all the medicinal power into five high-quality pills during the refining process.

The medicinal power of the remaining four pills was too greatly drained, so after being condensed they could only become inferior quality.

Selling the inferior ones can be considered as a benefit to fellow Taoists.

He would not do anything like adding potato starch to make low-quality pills today.

The buyer definitely made a profit by spending 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones to purchase a top-quality Crimson Cloud Transformation Pill.

A normal, low-grade Crimson Cloud Transformation Pill costs about 150,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Near the South China Sea, the prices should be a bit higher, mainly because fellow Jindan practitioners are short of elixirs and medicines.

After collecting the Crimson Cloud Transformation Pills one by one, Shen Lian disappeared in the cave and came to the outside of the combined formation.

However, he was not in a hurry to give the pills.

I have said before that we need to transfer people from other places, and it will take time.

Qiushan in the formation looked as if his whole body was corroded by black air, and his tortoise shell magic weapon fell at his feet.

A few days passed, neither too short nor too long, and his emotions still did not return to normal. Fortunately, the evil aura surging out of his body was suppressed again and did not continue to deteriorate.

…

In the blink of an eye, three months later.

Shen Lian was peeping outside the formation like this. Through observation during this period of time, he also confirmed his idea.

The realm of cultivation before Qiu Shan is the great perfection of the golden elixir.

When he ran away from the wilderness, Qiu Shan had already been in the Jiuchong Immortal City for more than a hundred years. Now it can be said that it took at least two hundred years for him to form a baby.

Moreover, it will take at least several decades to conceive a baby.

To be specific, Qiu Shan will have to wait until his golden elixir is fully developed or he has formed an infant before he can have a chance to repair his body.

By this calculation, it is estimated that this person only has one chance to conceive a baby.

Of course, he wasn't just peeping. Even female Taoists would get bored if they looked at them too much, let alone a male Taoist.

After Shen Lian’s daily practice, he would draw the ban-breaking talisman to open the ban-extinguishing talisman at the bottom of the Nine-Layered Immortal City.

Plans cannot keep up with changes. After accepting Qiushan, he prepared to escape from the Jiuchong Immortal City to avoid being discovered by Qiushan.

Since it was decided that the Butian sect members would have to communicate through a single line, he naturally could not leave any trace.

If nothing else, your own safety is the most important.

He handed the stack of drawn ban-breaking talismans to the deputy soul. After the deputy soul had ground open the ban-extinguishing talismans bit by bit, Shen Lian took out the pills he had refined before.

…

"call."

There was a sudden movement in the silent formation. A ray of spiritual light slowly fell from the sky to the front of Qiushan and turned into a jade bottle.

Qiushan, who was also silent and suppressing the turmoil in his body, opened his eyes and looked towards the jade bottle.

He did not reach out to take the jade bottle, but looked around.

"Who exactly are you, Excellency?"

"We're family from now on." The voices still came from all directions.

"One of our own?"

Qiushan frowned on his face, which was surrounded by dark energy.

"Why are our own people hiding their heads and showing their tails?"

However, he changed the subject and continued, "Do I have anything you want?"

There is no such thing as free elixir in the world. Everything that has happened since he was trapped in the formation has put him in a situation where he cannot see anything.

This unknown made him uneasy.

Shen Lian could sense Qiu Shan's emotional fluctuations. After all, he was almost driven into autism by just two words from him, and was then pulled back from death.

"I said one of our own, because I will be your introducer, and you will join my Butian Sect in the future."

"The Bu Tian Cult?"

Qiu Shan was stunned. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the name. There were so many sects in the world of immortal cultivation with various domineering names.

He was curious about the method of recruiting people.

"Are you not from a sect in the Tiannan Continent?"

"My sect does have a Xuan-level Angel in charge in this area of ​​the Tiannan Continent."

"The pill in front of you was sent to me by the Xuanjie Bu Tianshi after I reported it to him."

"Oh, right, have you prepared the 20,000 middle-grade spirit stones? This is the top-grade Crimson Cloud Transformation Pill, which is rare even in the Tiannan Continent."

Qiushan listened carefully to the words, trying to analyze some useful information from them.

He grabbed the jade bottle in front of him and opened it. A rich medicinal fragrance overflowed from the bottle like purple smoke.

It's really top quality.

If he could produce a top-quality Jiangyun Huasheng Pill, what about a top-quality Hualong Buyuan Pill? He thought of the words that rang in his ears a few months ago.

Now Qiushan felt that this was possible.

After calming down his thoughts, Qiushan still had questions in his mind.

"Why me? Is it because I have five spiritual roots? Or do I have a grudge against the Exiled Immortal Tower?"

“Because you can hide.”

Qiushan, who was waiting for a response, did not expect to hear such a sentence.

What kind of excuse is that! "Only when you are alive can you do things, only when you are alive can you have possibilities."

Afraid that his first church member would commit suicide again, Shen Lian had to hint with words.

"What does the Butian Cult do?"

"You are not a fellow Daoist yet, so just refine the elixir in front of you first."

"Oh, right, twenty thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

Qiu Shan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the medicine bottle and poured it into his mouth. If the cultivator hiding behind the formation wanted him dead, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

The strong medicinal power instantly dissolved in the body, and the rolling purple light began to collide with the dark and foul aura in the body.

…

In the corner of the formation, Shen Lian had a jade bottle in his hand, with a dark and foul aura flowing inside.

This was quietly collected over several months.

Qiu Shan was seriously injured by the Exiled Immortal Tower. He planned to do some research to see if he could make a pill to resolve this aura, or some means to restrain it.

If I ever meet a monk from the Exiled Immortal Tower in the future, I will use this method.

When doing things, of course you have to think more.

The state of Qiushan taking the Crimson Cloud Transformation Pill to suppress the evil aura was also recorded in real time by the Liuying Pearl.

These can be considered as first-hand information, which can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Crimson Cloud Huasheng Pill.

It took Qiushan almost ten days to heal his wounds. When the last ray of crimson-purple spiritual light disappeared from his body, more than 80% of the evil aura in his body was suppressed.

Of course, this does not mean that all the injuries have healed. It can only be said that they have been suppressed, and have not recovered to the state they were in a few months ago.

It’s pretty good to have this effect.

"Fellow Daoist, we can meet now, right?"

As he spoke, Qiu Shan waved his hand and took out a pile of spirit stones from his storage ring.

There are twelve thousand medium-grade spirit stones, and the remaining are eighty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

In fact, he was not short of spiritual stones. When his family was destroyed, he brought out a lot of spiritual objects.

But even though he had spiritual stones, he didn't dare to go to big places to buy precious medicines.

I had no choice but to hide in the wilderness and search on my own.

Furthermore, he couldn't just take 20,000 mid-grade items, as that would make him look very rich.

"I don't have many middle-grade spirit stones, so I'll use lower-grade spirit stones to make up for it."

Then, he was sealed up by Shen Lian.

"It's not that we don't meet. The identities of the angels in my Bu Tian sect are all secret. We don't know each other even if we meet."

Qiu Shan was stunned. What kind of sect is this? It's so mysterious.

"My recommendation to you is only a qualification for you to join my Butian Sect. To be able to join my Butian Sect, you still need to pass the test before you can obtain the qualification of a yellow-level Butian Angel."

"By the way, the Dragon-Transforming Heaven-Repairing Ganoderma you hid in the spiritual vein deep in the mountains has been taken away by the fellow Taoist who delivered the Crimson Cloud Transformation Pill."

"If you want to obtain the third-grade superior Dragon-Replenishing Yuan Pill, you still have to find a way to pass the test and join our Bu Tian Sect. Otherwise, your precious medicine will be wasted."

“In addition, looking at the entire Tiannan Continent, there are not many alchemists who can refine the top-quality Dragon-Transforming Yuan-Replenishing Pill, but my Butian Sect is definitely one of them.”

"And the most important thing is, what we said is known only to heaven and earth, you and me, and it will not be passed on to any other ears."

"Otherwise, not only will I be punished, but you, my friend, will also be shattered to pieces."

"Then how do we contact you?"

"When you pass the test and get your own identity jade token, you will be able to receive the news then."

Qiu Shan hesitated for a moment, "If I can't join the Bu Tian Sect, then I will die, right?"

"Since I have recommended you, it means that you have a great chance of joining our Bu Tian Sect. If I, as the recommender, fail repeatedly, I will also be punished."

"Do you want to practice with me for a while?"

Qiushan continued to ask questions, he wanted to get more useful information from the communication.

"There will be other Taoists who will conduct tests. As for what the tests are, I don't know. It may be to observe the daily practice of the Taoists, or it may be some kind of mission."

Qiushan frowned a little. He found that the words responding to him contained almost no useful information for him.

He could only accept it passively.

What kind of power is this? How can it hide so deeply? Could it be doing something that would anger the heavens and the people? But thinking of the third-grade superior Dragon-Transforming Yuan-Replenishing Pill, he had to calm down.

"If he can produce a top-quality Jiangyun Huasheng Pill, he should also be able to produce a top-quality Hualong Buyuan Pill."

Qiu Shan looked thoughtful. After thinking it over, it seemed that he had no choice but to passively accept it.

This Butian Sect is too mysterious.

His golden elixir level is the yellow-level angel, so the black-level angel should be the Nascent Soul.

Counting it this way, the God Transformation Patriarch is just an earth-level angel.

As for Shen Lian's strength hidden by the formation, he could sense that he was at the same Jindan level as him.

However, Qiushan did not feel surprised at all. He knew that he would naturally be matched with cultivators of his own strength.

The Yuanying Patriarch has his own things to do.

After thinking about it, he didn't ask the stupid question whether the Hualong Buyuan Pill would be returned to him.

It's useless to ask this kind of question.

The cultivator hidden in the formation seemed to be speaking in a friendly manner, but in fact he was controlling him everywhere.

Such a mysterious force, and the method of recruiting monks is so strange. If he does not agree, there is no possibility of him getting out alive.

In addition, this person demonstrated his strength, as he transferred a top-quality Crimson Cloud Transformation Pill from another place in just over three months.

Pills of this quality cannot be made by ordinary alchemists.

This means that either there is an alchemist from the Butian Sect near the Southern Continent, or the Butian Sect has this kind of elixir in stock.

"It seems that I have no choice."

At this moment, in the colorful light fog shrouded by the formation, a sound-recording magic weapon swayed slowly.

"The nearby immortal city will be returned to its original owner. Daoist friend, do not travel outside for the next few years or even decades. Just wait for the subsequent tests from my Butian Sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound-recording magic weapon turned into powder, and the formation covering the area suddenly burrowed into the depths of the earth and disappeared.

When Qiushan Shen sent out his thoughts, there was nothing.

Huh! He slowly withdrew his mind and stopped chasing. He knew that it would be fruitless to continue chasing.

I didn't expect that after several decades, I would return to the Nine-Layered Immortal City.

Then, he headed towards the Fairy City and followed the path left behind before to enter the Fairy City's underground veins.

He discovered that the spiritual energy in the Crouching Tiger ground vein was much stronger and more abundant than when he first left.

As for the inside of Crouching Tiger, only the remnant of the extinguishing talisman remained, while the Dragon-Transforming and Essence-Replenishing Ganoderma had already disappeared.

"The spirit vein has been re-cultivated?"

The changes in the spiritual vein were right before Qiushan’s eyes.

Not everyone is willing to repair spirit veins, and it's not something that can be done with just a few spirit stones.

Feeling the pure ochre-colored spiritual energy deep within the Crouching Tiger Spiritual Vein, Qiushan Shen's expression changed.

"Top-grade earth spirit stone."

He was no stranger to top-grade spirit stones, as he had some in his storage ring.

For Nascent Soul cultivators, this kind of thing is a spiritual object that can restore vitality, and it is even rarer for Golden Core cultivators.

What was the point of spending top-grade spirit stones to replenish the spirit veins? Unfortunately, after thinking about it, Qiu Shan still couldn't figure it out.

"Could it be that this person came just for me?"

Looking at the empty cave, he couldn't help but guess this in his mind, but then he shook his head.

"This person didn't come for me. He must have come here on impulse after seeing the injuries on my body..."

"And... the Exiled Immortal Tower... the Bu Tian Sect..."

Qiushan slowly sorted out his guesses in his mind, and he felt that there should be some connection between the two.

As for what kind of connection it is, it will take time to investigate it in the future, and he can't say for sure now.

…

Shen Lian, who had just been the city lord for a few days, fled away again with his secondary soul.

As for the secret surveillance of Qiushan, it was left to the black-horned ant.

As for how much information he could monitor, he didn't really care.

Given Qiushan’s current condition, he will most likely have to stay put and recuperate, and he’s also at risk of being hunted down.

If you want to reduce the risk, staying put is a good idea.

During this period of time, he should be able to refine a third-grade, top-quality, and suitable yellow-grade angel token.

Moreover, it is time to put opportunities for cultivators from the Bishui Sect and other sects on the agenda.

Through Qiu Shan, Shen Lian realized a problem, that is, the wilderness was not the remote and uninvited place he imagined.

Lian Qiushan came here to hide and found a top-grade third-level precious medicine deep in the wilderness.

So, how many monsters are hiding in this area?

In fact, it is not just the Desolate Territory. There are many remote places like the Desolate Territory in the Tiannan Xiuxian World. Are there cultivators hiding there? Looking at the entire Xiuxian World, how many places like the Desolate Territory are there?

Then let’s see how many fish can be found in the wasteland this time.

Who knows, there might be some unexpected surprises.

…

The South Sea, the East Sea, and the place where the sea cultivators meet.

The azure blue sea is rolling with white waves, and the sunlight shines through the sea, forming sparkling light in the deep sea.

Deep under the sea, on the undulating hills, the grass, corals and shells all sparkle with different colors.

Schools of colorful green fish, like colorful lights, swim among the water plants.

Overall, the sea area looks very calm and peaceful.

The scenery on the seabed is magnificent, but the monks who occasionally pass by will not take a second look at it. There are so many such scenery in the sea, and it is not worth lingering for a long time.

Within this area, there is a barrier with a radius of a thousand miles, which blocks the surging flood and the outside world.

Under the barrier, the grass and trees retain fragrance, there are pavilions, towers, mountains and waterfalls, and fairy mist.

From afar, sacred trees, towers and waterfalls appear and disappear in the mist.

The whole scene is like a fairyland.

…

"Come on, come on, come and catch me."

"Catch me."

"Catch it."

The giggles came out in the fairy mist, as sweet as the sound of a lark.

But there are too many larks in this fog, some live in the buildings, some swim in the Linghu Lake, and some lie under the Lingquan Waterfall.

The strengths of the little larks vary, ranging from Qi training to Golden Core level.

There are human beings, sea creatures, and some half-transformed monsters.

All of these figures are wearing light gauze skirts, with round and well-proportioned figures. Some are playing and frolicking, while others are playing the piano and burning incense.

They compete with each other in beauty and are colorful.

In the middle of the barrier was an extremely tall jade platform, with a wine pool of a hundred feet in size at each of the four corners.

The spiritual wine in the pool was emitting a fragrant aroma. Figures were either drunk on the edge of the pool or simply floating in the pool and falling asleep.

White jade wine cups were floating in the air, ready for anyone to take.

In the center of the jade platform, there are twelve bronze pillars on each side.

Below the copper pillar is a circle of copper lotus pedestals, piled with red-hot round ores.

There was a raging fire burning on the bronze pillars, and on each of them there were monks tied with bronze chains.

The burning flames rushed into the monk's body from the copper pillar, and then came out from the monk's nostrils, mouth, eyes, and ears.

The burning pain made the monk feel like dying. He let out a shrill scream and kept shaking his body to try to get away from the bronze pillar.

But the bronze chains locked on his body rattled and he couldn't get rid of them at all.

On the contrary, because of the struggle of his body, the back that was in contact with the copper pillar kept making sizzling sounds of burning flesh and blood.

The monk who was subjected to the torture of burning fire did not die immediately.

There was a soul-fixing needle inserted between their eyebrows, which imprisoned their souls within their bodies.

Moreover, the burning flames were also led out through the formation. It seemed to burn through the cultivator's body, but in fact it was draining the cultivator's vitality bit by bit.

Make the death process longer.

However, the shrill screams did not affect the singing and dancing of the beautiful women on the jade platform.

"Haha, wonderful."

"Come, beauty, have another drink."

Hearty laughter rang out in every corner of the jade platform.

Behind the huge white jade table, a big man with a round belly and a full beard was seen laughing and holding a bronze wine cup in his hand.

Around the big man, there was a circle of drunk female cultivators, with their clothes piled up on top of each other.
