He was admitted to Juntian Pavilion because of his spiritual talent. As a genius with a long-standing reputation in the land of spiritual water, he was originally quite proud of himself.
But after entering Juntian Pavilion, I suddenly found that I seemed very ordinary, as if I was about to blend into the crowd.
Among the fellow disciples who entered Juntian Pavilion with him, there were some with better spiritual roots than him, and some were born with certain sword bodies. The talent that he was proud of was nothing among his fellow disciples.
There are many inner disciples in Juntian Pavilion, but there are only eighty-one positions for true disciples. According to the data over the years, as long as one can become a true disciple and does not die in the future, the probability of advancing to the late stage of refining emptiness is very high, and there is hope to compete for the position of inner mountain elder.
In Juntian Pavilion, if one does not strive for the position of a true disciple, after advancing to the Lianxu stage, one will either be assigned to a deacon position outside, or be sent to take charge of some mineral veins or important places in the pavilion.
It's just like that in a lifetime, and most of the mineral veins are in the void, where there are many dangers and the risk of falling is extremely high.
In addition, once you are sent out, it means that you will lose most of the resource support. If you want to go further in the realm of refining emptiness by yourself, it will be ten times more difficult.
Therefore, after much thought, Chunyu Zhonghou still wanted to give it a try, so he came to Master Ji Dan to seek the way to practice both Dharma and body.
"Senior Ji."
Compared with Ou Cunjie before, Chunyu Zhonghou was much more humble, and there was no arrogance in his expression.
Shen Lian could tell at a glance that this young Taoist friend had suffered many beatings in the fairy world. He also looked very distressed, and it seemed that he was thinking too much and was under a lot of pressure.
After Chunyu Zhonghou entered the cave, he saw Shen Lian reactivating the spiritual ban of the cave. He did not feel surprised at all, after all, there were too many people outside the cave seeking elixirs.
He looked at the cave carefully and found that there was a lingering fragrance in the cave. In addition to the fragrance of the elixir, there was also a fragrance that made him feel peaceful.
Gradually, Chunyu Zhonghou's slightly worried mood was calmed down a little by the lingering fragrance.
"As a senior disciple of Dongtian Holy Land, how come you are more worried than those fellow Taoists outside?"
After Shen Lian led Chunyu Zhonghou to his seat, he chuckled.
Hearing this, Chunyu Zhonghou revealed a bitter smile. As an inner sect disciple of Juntian Pavilion, he was also very tired.
To outsiders, the holy land is like a bright sun hanging over the territory of Shangjuntian. But to disciples like them, the fame brings with it enormous pressure.
It was especially uncomfortable for someone like him who was neither up nor down. If there was really no hope, it would be fine. He could just work hard to become an elder in the outer mountain of the Refining Void Realm and then go out and hang around somewhere for ten thousand years.
But Chunyu Zhonghou felt that he could still be saved.
"I bought this spiritual incense at the auction of Yunding Chamber of Commerce. It has the effect of calming the mind and tranquilizing the heart. Take a good rest for now. There is no rush to discuss the spiritual pill. I still have a furnace of pills that have not been refined yet."
After saying this, Shen Lian stood up and walked towards the alchemy room, leaving Chunyu Zhonghou sitting quietly in the reception room.
The spiritual incense was naturally bought at an auction, and there are records of that, but Shen Lian added a kind of tranquility grass to the incense.
After entering the alchemy room, he did not refine the elixir, but quietly sensed Chunyu Zhonghou's practice after opening the restriction.
It is indeed the "Five Qis Converging to the Origin Gong", there is no doubt about that.
I have racked my brains for this technique.
The Ji Wuxian he pretended to be was practicing the Ji family's ancestral "Five Mysterious Phoenix Spiritual Technique". Although they belong to the same five elements, there are still great differences.
The Ji family's method can be cultivated to the late stage of refining emptiness.
Inside the cave, there is a lingering aroma and the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.
In the alchemy room, there were six or seven jade boxes in front of Shen Lian. Each jade box contained a Liuqian Pill, but the patterns on the surface of the pills were different, and the smoothness was also different.
Naturally, the one with more dan patterns and smoother texture has the best quality.
What he had released before were of between low and medium quality, with slightly more impurities and much more powerful medicinal properties.
After a while, Shen Lian selected the best quality pill from several pills, and used some tricks to cover the pill with a layer of pill coating. The pill pattern became blurred, and the smoothness further decreased, turning it into a medium quality pill.
"Sincerity for sincerity, I am not a black-hearted alchemist."
After collecting the remaining pills, Shen Lian muttered softly.
Young friend Chunyu gave him a martial arts technique, and he gave young friend a top-quality elixir to increase the probability of breakthrough.
Looking at Chunyu Zhonghou through the spiritual barrier again, Shen Lian became a little hesitant at this moment.
There is a Juntian Key, a magical treasure that has been passed down for millions of years in the Juntian Pavilion. This magical treasure is similar to the Bu Tian Pearl he had back then, and is the core hub for running the entire Juntian Pavilion.
Normal disciples must go through a mind check cast by this Hedao spiritual treasure before they can enter the sect. And if they want to inherit the high-level techniques in the inheritance pavilion, they need to be personally transmitted by this Hedao spiritual treasure.
This was a secret he had only heard of during these days when he had been wholeheartedly working for the welfare of the disciples of Juntian Pavilion.
It is similar to when Shen Lian read the monk's Recognition of the Lord and Repairing the Heaven Order again, and it is even more terrifying than before.
Because he had done this kind of thing himself, Shen Lian kept his distance from him.
What's the difference between this and being stripped naked and looked at carefully? He is not afraid of seeing his body, after all, it would be embarrassing if he was smaller, but it would be too terrifying if his mind was also covered.
A Hedao Lingbao is comparable to a Hedao monk. Compared with the Hedao Lingbao of the Bu Tianzhu and Juntian Pavilion, it is just a younger brother.
…
Inside the cave, amidst the fragrance, a formation began to operate silently, instantly isolating the inside and the outside.
"Senior Ji."
Chunyu Zhonghou woke up from his practice and looked at Shen Lian walking out of the alchemy room.
"Looking at how easy you are, even if you take the Liu Qian Dan I developed, there will be an extra potential danger when you go through the physical training tribulation.
You are an inner disciple of Juntian Pavilion. If something goes wrong, I, an outsider alchemist who wants to join Juntian Pavilion, will be in trouble."
Hearing this, Chunyu Zhonghou gave a wry smile, looking embarrassed as he didn't know whether to say anything or not.
Instead, Shen Lian sighed and said, "I also want to establish a good relationship with your disciples. You can practice with me for a while.
I have been refining various elixirs here for hundreds of years, and the medicinal energy is abundant, which can help you calm down. "
Chunyu Zhonghou didn't think there was anything wrong and showed gratitude on his face.
"This is the Fragrant Tranquil Spirit Pill, which has the effect of stabilizing the soul and slightly improving it, and enlightening the mind. I only have two left, and the cost of one is 800 top-grade spirit stones."
Chunyu Zhonghou took out a pile of spirit stones from his storage ring, swallowed one of them, the Fragrant and Tranquil Pill, and put the remaining one into his storage ring.
"I accepted a mission not long ago. Fellow Daoist, please practice here for the time being. I will continue to make pills."
…
After Shen Lian returned to the alchemy room, he raised the alchemy furnace. The blazing hot alchemy fire caused the restrictions to tremble, and traces of fire were faintly visible from the spiritual restrictions.
In the pill fire, he sat cross-legged, his spiritual thoughts split into countless filaments, which, under the cover of the pill fire, merged into the surrounding spiritual restrictions.
In the reception room, Chunyu Zhonghou, who had taken the fragrant and tranquilizing pill, also began to practice.
Five-colored magical power surrounded him as he immersed himself in practice.
In the sea of divine consciousness, Chunyu Zhonghou's divine figurine was also in a cross-legged position, with wisps of hazy mist formed by fragrant and tranquil divine pills lingering around his body. Each wisp had a faint purple hue, enveloping the figurine and making it fall into a similar ethereal state.
During cultivation, the spiritual figure naturally needs to mobilize the exercises to cooperate.
A hazy text appeared in the sea of divine consciousness. The text was colorful, and there was a faint mark similar to a "soup spoon" in the colorful text.
…
"There is indeed a ban."
"The Key to Heaven, the Spiritual Treasure of the Hedao."
Inside the alchemy room, Shen Lian's mental state reached a super tense state.
Although the Hedao spiritual treasure is powerful, there are many disciples in Juntian Pavilion, and the mark separated from it cannot be continuously paid attention to by Juntian Key. This spoon mark is actually a ban, similar to the spiritual ban contract cast by the cultivator himself.
The reason why it appears in the shape of a soup spoon is purely a personal method, just like the habit of some weapon refiners to leave their own unique mark on the spiritual treasures they refine.
But after all, it was the mark left by the Hedao Lingbao. Even though the aura of this spiritual forbidden spirit was not even one-tenth of that of the Hedao Lingbao, Shen Lian still did not relax at all.
He also found that the spiritual ban was very interesting. It only sealed the late and perfect parts of the Refining Void Realm, while the middle and previous parts were released.
…
One month later.
"Three flowers gather at the top of your head, five qi converge to the origin. It turns out that you haven't fully understood it. You have stopped before the integration of the Dao. This is not the real three flowers, nor the real five qi."
Inside the alchemy room, Shen Lian, who was surrounded by the alchemy fire, slowly opened his eyes, fatigue visible on his face.
"That's fine too. When I reach the state of unity with the Tao, that's when I'll create my own path of advancing the three methods simultaneously. Practicing other people's methods will always put me under their control."
"The three flowers that you couldn't comprehend, I will comprehend. The five energies that you couldn't comprehend, I will comprehend."
"Let a weapon spirit at the Hedao level put a stamp on your brain, even if you kill me, it won't work."
"Collect the pills."
Looking at the half-destroyed elixir in the alchemy furnace, Shen Lian silently chanted a spell to collect the elixir ashes, then put in a few more elixirs of the same kind and collected them again.
The success rate of alchemy must be maintained.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
For a moment, Shen Lian closed his eyes slightly, and the little soul in his sea of consciousness muttered a few obscure characters.
At the same time, inside Chunyu Zhonghou's storage ring, in the medicine bottle containing the Fragrant Tranquilizing Pill, the pill flashed with purple color and spread out like the fragrance of the pill, turning into a small vortex and accumulating in the pill bottle.
As long as the pill bottle is opened, the fragrance will naturally spread out.
Then, Shen Lian stood up and lay under the alchemy furnace and dug it out vigorously. A piece of sixth-grade top-grade Thousand Illusion Spirit Crystal was dug out by him and instantly put it into his body.
…
Two months later.
Another person who wanted to ask for elixir appeared outside the cave, interrupting Chunyu Zhonghou's practice and calling Shen Lian out of the alchemy room.
"Hey, Senior Brother Chunyu is here too?"
The visitor was also an inner disciple of Juntian Pavilion, named Lin Ye.
Chunyu Zhonghou accepted the cultivation and exchanged a few words with the visitor. Although they were both inner disciples of Juntian Pavilion, they were not very familiar with each other.
"Brother Chunyu, are you here to look for the Liu Qian Dan as well?"
Chunyu Zhonghou nodded undeniably.
Shen Lian also warmly received Lin Ye, and explained in detail the effects and side effects of his Liu Qian Dan, and considerately took out the matching Hu Mai Dan.
When Lin Ye left with the elixir, he also made an appointment with Shen Lian that once the user successfully advanced, he would come to Tianchen Mountain to personally tell about his breakthrough experience, which would serve as a basis for further improvement of the elixir.
Chunyu Zhonghou had been practicing here for two months, so naturally he didn't stay any longer.
"Fellow Daoist Chunyu, I don't understand the great principles of cultivation, but as an alchemist, I always have to rest for a while after refining the elixir before refining it again. One reason is to restore the consumed mental energy, and the other is to relax. I think cultivation should also be a combination of work and rest."
"Thank you for your teachings, Senior Ji. After I succeed in achieving a breakthrough, I will describe the details of the breakthrough process to you one by one, so that I can use it to improve the subsequent elixir."
After Chunyu Zhonghou bowed, he left with the Liuqian Pill and the Humai Pill.
In front of the cave gate, Shen Lian looked at Chunyu Zhonghou who was walking away, glanced at the people seeking elixirs outside, and walked into the cave with square steps, without any intention of paying any attention to them.
"As a master of alchemy, he only knows how to lick the disciples of Juntian Pavilion. Pah, I was thinking of learning alchemy from him. It's better not to learn this alchemy!"
"That's right. It doesn't matter if I don't ask for this pill. I just don't believe that without this Liu Qian Pill, my physical cultivation won't break through."
"It's human nature to climb high and look down on the low. Let's stay for a while longer. Maybe Master Ji will give us a few Liu Qian Dan because of our sincerity."
Outside the cave, a group of monks were muttering to each other, while others were indignant.
Two of the cultivators even summoned their magic treasures and flew away. One of them, wearing a black robe and with a sturdy build, flew not far away. Then, his body shook, and the large rake under his feet drew an arc in the air, and rushed back to Shen Lian's cave abode.
This cultivator was the one who had just shouted that he would rather not ask for the elixir.
"Senior Ji is so righteous."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they stared in amazement as the Rake Monk knelt down outside the cave, holding a pill with flame patterns flashing on it in his hand, and shouted excitedly.
In mid-air, the man who looked like an alchemist swung his robe and fled away.
"This is an insult to the virtue of an immortal. This is an insult to the virtue of an immortal. This alchemy master is ashamed to be associated with you."
…
"Damn, I didn't expect Senior Ji to fall for this kind of provocation. Why not me?"
"That's right, this is Juntian City, everyone here practices under the wing of Juntian Pavilion. It's natural for Senior Ji to make friends with Juntian Pavilion disciples. The alchemist just now was too one-sided."
"No wonder he is just a junior alchemist. It's because Master Ji has a good temper and doesn't bother with such a junior alchemist."
…
Inside the cave, Shen Lian looked outside through the spiritual barrier and sighed softly.
If it weren't for the two little dots, he might not be much better than these monks out there. It's normal to be soft when necessary and hard when necessary.
They are all good cultivators. If you want to blame someone, blame the cultivation environment. The Taoists all have good intentions, they just spoke without thinking in a hurry.
Whether a low-quality Liuqian Pill can survive being struck by lightning depends on luck.
After checking the cave again, Shen Lian tore off the formation he had set up before, and re-manifested the Lingshan Inversion Formation. He also refined several furnaces of fragrant elixirs to change the taste of the cave.
"The Juntian Key is hanging high above the Juntian Pavilion. All cultivators who enter will be covered by it. Sigh... such a dignified Hedao Holy Land is so eerie."
Inside the alchemy room, Shen Lian frowned slightly after finishing refining the elixir.
He felt that the previous plan might have gone astray. The Hedao spirit of Juntian Pavilion seemed to have taken control of the entire Juntian Cave space. Unless it fell into a deep sleep, its perception of the outside world would be reduced.
In other words, if he wanted to go in and check the collections in the treasure pavilion, he had to wait until Juntian Key fell asleep.
But not even the elders of Juntian Pavilion knew when he fell asleep.
For cultivators like him, it is better to avoid hanging around creatures at the Hedao level.
"Forget it, now that I have the technique, I have all three techniques. I will practice well for a while."
His divine consciousness sank into the small world on his body, and he cast his thoughts on the three little ones who were sorting out spiritual medicines.
"From now on, practice hard."
…
"I was looking forward to the subsequent portable spells of Wuqi Chaoyuan Gong, but I didn't expect it to be just like this. It's similar to the Sanhua Juding I conceived. There's no need to practice it again. I'd better follow my path. After all, the predecessor who created this method has proved that his path is not open."
"The Hun Tian Jie Body has three physical cultivation spells, which can be performed by integrating different rules. I have five thunders in my chest, which can perform the Five Thunders Bombardment Spell, which contains a trace of Jie Qi."
"This spell is quite interesting. For those cultivators who are suppressing their realm and not daring to transcend the tribulation, a trace of tribulation energy might cause them to leak out directly."
"There are two methods in the Thirteen Great Classics, and they also need to be performed in accordance with the Five Elements. Taixu Tears is better for sneak attacks, and it is very secretive when released. The sword control technique is a good way to run away."
After the issue of the martial arts technique was resolved, Shen Lian gradually calmed down. He took a spiritual pill for cultivation and began to refine his magic power.
…
Outside the Tianchen Mountain Cave Residence, a sign was hung that read "Improved Elixir, Do Not Disturb".
Even Chunyu Zhonghou, who had just returned from escaping the tribulation, had no choice but to imprint his experience of taking the elixir on a jade slip and hung it outside the cave.
In this way, Shen Lian stayed in the cave and practiced quietly for a period of time.
For a full three hundred years, he was in a state of accumulating magical power.
…
"Superior quality elixirs are simply better. No wonder everyone wants to buy high quality elixirs even if it means spending more spirit stones. It is true that the higher the quality, the more obvious the effect."
In the small world he carried with him, Shen Lian had already eaten nearly a hundred of the more than three hundred boxes of forbidden elixirs. The magic power accumulated in his lower dantian was still some distance away from the middle stage of the refining void realm.
The practice in the realm of refining emptiness is much more difficult than that of transforming into a spirit. It took him only about a thousand years to ascend to the upper realm, not to mention that he was practicing three methods simultaneously, which consumed three times as much energy as others.
In addition, the rules he used to integrate his magic power were the two major rules of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang. The degree of integration of the rules was the key to breaking through.
For cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm, as long as the degree of fusion of one kind of rule power and magic power reaches 30%, they have entered the middle stage of Void Refinement Realm, no matter whether the rule is a single one of wood, fire, or earth, or a large rule of gravity, space, or soul.
There are elixirs that help integrate magic power and rules, but overall there are still more wolves than meat.
The fusion pills of a single small rule are in short supply, not to mention the fusion pills of the power of large rules, which are even more sought after and are snapped up at a premium every time.
"I don't need a magic pill that can fuse rules and magic power. The fusion of the five elements and yin and yang can be carried out step by step without any bottleneck. The soul path is illuminated by the innate purple light, so the fusion speed is not slow."
"However, we should see if we can find the elixir that integrates Wangshu's reincarnation rules, Lao Huang's gravity rules, and Shifang's life and death rules."
"Once I break through the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm and my alchemy skills are upgraded to the sixth-level intermediate grade, my status in Juntian City will rise by another level. By then, more Taoist friends will come to send me resources."
Shen Lian had high expectations for the three purple light clones.
Normal cultivation resources can still be obtained through normal channels. After you advance to the stage of refining emptiness and achieve perfection, if you want to obtain spiritual objects for transcending tribulations, higher-level secret treasures, etc., you must take action.
If he doesn't train these three thugs, is it possible that he will have to take the field himself when the time comes?
Even the ancestor of Lianhedao had to personally go out to snatch resources. It was true that he could practice in seclusion, but there were no secret treasures falling from the sky.
"The rules of reincarnation, Wangshu, ah Wangshu, you really know how to choose. I have been in Juntian City for so long, but I have never heard of a cultivator comprehending the rules of reincarnation."
"You play it so fancy, there's no place to steal the master's tricks."
Shen Lian scratched his head. Not only had he never heard of a cultivator who practiced the rules of reincarnation, but the rules of space that he wanted to comprehend were not even available among all the cultivators in the Juntian Pavilion.
It's just all these high-end stuff, not down-to-earth at all.
Compared to the breakthrough progress of the original body, the progress of the clones of Kankan and Chifeng is much faster, and they have already reached the initial level of the sixth stage.
The three little ones are improving quite fast, except for Big Black, who is almost there. Three Thousand and Two Thousand have reached the peak level of Spirit Transformation and are about to pass the Heavenly Tribulation of Refining Void.
Although he is still a little bit away from the middle stage of Refining Void, for Shen Lian, arranging a place to break through the realm has already been put on the agenda.
He absolutely did not dare to break through in Juntian City, mainly because he was afraid that when the three methods broke through at the same time, some strange phenomenon would occur again.
If at that time even a hint of something strange is revealed, he won't be able to escape even if he wants to.
Before this, he had sent a message to Huang Youdao and Elder Wangshu to come to Juntian City. On the way there, the two of them changed their goal and looked for a suitable place to break through.
"It's been more than 800 years since I came out. It's normal to return to Cangyuan to visit relatives."
Then, Shen Lian started to organize his household affairs and prepare to go home to visit his relatives.
There's nothing wrong with breaking through to the middle stage of the Void Refining stage on the way back from the family.
He hung a jade slip outside the cave, briefly stating the details of his tour.
Even though he had been in seclusion for more than 300 years, there were still a few cultivators lingering outside the cave, hoping to move Master Ji Dan with their sincerity.
How could Master Ji, who mixes sweet potato flour into the elixirs he makes, be sincere?
The mission of Liu Qian Dan has been completed. Whether it will be refined in the future or not is up to fate.
"My fellow Taoists, the Liu Qian Dan still has a big flaw. I have been studying it for hundreds of years and still feel that it is missing something. I am going to travel around to see if I can get some inspiration."
"Senior Ji, we are willing to follow you..."
One cultivator was smart and opened his mouth hurriedly, only to find that Master Ji Dan had turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
Three hundred years later, Juntian City is still as bustling as before, with cultivators gathering from all directions one after another, as if there is no end.
After purchasing some spiritual objects for the family in the city, such as sixth-level formations and large quantities of fourth- and fifth-level resources, Shen Lian flew towards the outside of Juntian City.
Go home, go home!
He drove the escape light to break through the defensive light shield of Juntian City and landed on the huge platform outside the light shield, looking at the giant ships, giant turtles, giant whales, etc. anchored at the end of the platform.
"Friend Ji."
At this time, a voice was heard from a floating island in the void wrapped in the long blue river.
Shen Lian looked carefully and saw that it was Xiao Ouzi with eyes on his nose. This guy had taken away several bottles of medium-quality Zi Ling Xu Yun Dan from him.
Looking again, he saw that there were many disciples of Juntian Pavilion on the floating island, as well as many Lianxu cultivators. A burly guy even bowed to him.
"Tielin who ate his elixir."
"Where are you planning to go, Fellow Daoist Ji?"
Although Ou Cunjie was very arrogant, Shen Lian didn't care at all and said casually, "I have been in Juntian City for too long. I am worried about my family, so I plan to go back and take a look."
After a brief chat, Shen Lian chose another giant ship nearby and flew over.
A group of inner disciples of Juntian Pavilion, plus some Void-Refining cultivators in Juntian City, gathered together for the purpose of heading to a mineral vein.
There are many monks in Juntian Pavilion and they consume huge amounts of spirit stones every year, so they occupy many mineral veins as resources to support the monks in the sect.
Most of these mineral veins are located in the void outside the area. The void is a lawless area. The desperadoes don't care whether you are a disciple of Juntian Pavilion or not. They will show no mercy when it comes to robbing and will kill anyone who needs to be killed.
This time there must be a problem with a mineral vein, and this group of people is going to clear it up.
Shen Lian naturally would not get involved in such matters. He was now busy checking out the place he had chosen for cultivation.
He had spiritual stone veins in his own alchemy furnace. As long as he opened the furnace, he could secretly withhold the spiritual medicines from the alchemists without any conscience. Mining was not as good as making spiritual stones with a guilty conscience.
…
On the giant ship, a city spread out.
"Wanlingfang" food shortage.
Or maybe it's not tiring to travel long distances through the void. There is everything on the giant ship, including delicious food and prostitutes.
At this moment, there were only about a dozen guests on the three floors of the dining hall.
"What is this Xianfu Mantang?"
"Replying to Senior, this is spiritual rice cooked from dozens of kinds of spiritual rice."
Shen Lian pointed at the menu and asked the waiter beside him.
"This green mountain will never change."
"Emerald carrot."
“This is a gathering of talented people.”
"A plate of water radish."
…
"You are very honest."
The waiter smiled at him and said, "Don't lie in front of a senior. What is is what it is."
"I want a fifth-level braised bear paw."
"What is this fresh blood?"
"My boss caught a sixth-rank Tiantu in the void not long ago. The blood of this tribe is extremely rare. After drinking it, one can feel the intersection of nine levels of ice and fire. If it is paired with a few fairies, it will be a wonderful experience of traveling to the heavens."
Looking at the waiter's longing expression, it feels like he has really tried it.
Hearing the voice, Shen Lian's heart moved.
"Your host is really amazing. He was able to capture even the Tiantu tribe. This tribe is one of the most difficult to capture in the Void Land, second only to the Xuling tribe."
"What's the matter with the Void Spirits? Thousands of years ago, our Changkong Giant Ship really encountered a Void Spirit. Unfortunately, this tribe is good at space magic, so even if we sealed it off, it still escaped."
After ordering a few dishes at random, Shen Lian began to enjoy them.
The demon beasts that have been successfully trained are indeed chewy when they taste. The fifth-level demon king who is the ancestor of the Yunxiao Realm is squatting on the plate at this moment.
Shen Lian asked for a few more pots, and put them into his portable little world and gave them to the three little ones, to let them see the consequences of not practicing hard.
After eating, they returned to the cave arranged on the giant ship, waiting to set off.
…
Not long after we sat down in the cave, there was a knock on the door.
Two burly men stood outside the door.
"Master Ji Dan."
Shen Lian looked at the figures that appeared, his thoughts flashing through his mind like lightning. He had seen the hemp-robed monk among the two men before, and had bought elixirs from him before, but he was in the early stage of refining emptiness at that time, while now he is in the middle stage of refining emptiness.
There are very few casual cultivators who can practice both Dharma and body, so he was a little surprised to see two of them appear at once.
"So it's Brother Hong, who is this?"
Shen Lian invited people into the cave.
"This is Daoist Zhao Qi."
After the middle-stage Lianxu cultivator named Hong came in, he introduced Zhao Qi who was beside him to Shen Lian.
"I didn't expect to meet Master Ji Dan here." Hong Yuan laughed.
"Ji, I didn't expect to meet you two fellow Taoists here." Shen Lian responded with a smile, "If you two want elixirs, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I came out to look for elixirs. I don't have many elixirs with me, and I'm afraid there are none that you need."
"That's fine. Master Ji can start refining. It will take a long time for the giant ship to cross the sky. Fellow Daoist Hong and I will guard outside the door to ensure that no one disturbs Fellow Daoist Ji."
Zhao Qi spoke with a smile and glanced at Hong Yuan.
"That's right. Master Ji Dan is traveling alone, so it would be more reassuring if we two were with him."
Shen Lian frowned.
Then, he stood up and walked away, directly knocking the two people who were standing up away.
"Come with me, I'll take you to meet a friend."
Zhao Qi was startled, and Hong Yuan asked in confusion: "Does Daoist Ji have other Daoists accompanying him?"
They both clearly saw Shen Lian boarding the ship alone and did not communicate with anyone during the journey.
This giant ship had only been docked for a short time, and among the cultivators who came on board, except for two at the early stage of Refinement of Void, all others were at the Spirit Transformation stage.
Shen Lian ignored the two of them. After walking out of the cave, he flew towards the bow of the giant ship.
Then he opened his mouth wide and shouted.
"Fellow Daoist Ou, these two people said they are willing to go to the mine with you and go through fire and water for Juntian Pavilion!"
When Hong Yuan and Zhao Chi arrived at the top of the deck and looked into the distance, they saw Ou Cunjie sitting cross-legged on a high place on the Void Island, and their expressions suddenly changed.
"Why, didn't you two just say that you admired Fellow Daoist Ou? I introduced you to each other, but now you deny him. What do you think of me, Ji?"
Shen Lian sneered and glared at the two burly men in front of him.
"Master Ji Dan, we didn't... didn't..."
Zhao Chi broke out in a cold sweat. I swear to God, haven't their evil intentions been fully unleashed yet?
"Friend Ji, this is not okay. I just ran into a good friend when I went out."
After a moment, Ou Cunjie came directly from the air and landed in front of him, still with that dead look on his face, and spoke in a playful tone.
"I can't help it. As an alchemist with a certain reputation, these two are my 'good' friends. Please take good care of them."
Hearing Shen Lian insisting on the word "OK", Hong Yuan and Zhao Chi were startled. This alchemist really knows how to take advantage of others.
"It just so happens that the mines in the Void Land need fellow practitioners like you. Don't worry, for the sake of Master Ji Dan, I will definitely take good care of you. Go to the Void Island and wait for you."
"Why are you unwilling to work for Juntian Pavilion?"
Seeing the two figures standing still, Ou Cunjie's narrowed eyes flashed with a cold light, "Coincidentally, I am also practicing both Dharma and body, unlike Master Ji Dan who is a weak Dharma and body practitioner, how about we have a fight?"
"I dare not, I am willing to go through fire and water for Juntian Pavilion."
Hong Yuan and the other man glanced at Shen Lian and flew to the Void Island. They didn't dare to run away. The core disciples of Juntian Pavilion in Juntian City could kill them and nothing would happen.
"Friend Ji, these two physical cultivators are pretty good. Do you want me to find a puppeteer to make them for you and send them back to you? You can keep them by your side for self-defense."
Ou Cunjie transmitted the message, saying that they were just two ordinary middle-stage Void Refinement cultivators, and he did not take them seriously at all. Although he was only in the early stage of Void Refinement, he was very confident.
"That's not good... Thank you very much, and try not to drop your realm."
Shen Lian hesitated and gave the instruction with some embarrassment.
"Okay, okay. When I'm done with my work, give me two more of your Death Qi Pills. It will be really fun to play with them."
After winking at Shen Lian, Ou Cunjie returned to the floating island in the void and became his arrogant and dead look again.
…
"call......"
Shen Lian exhaled and staggered towards the cave.
Alchemists are technical craftsmen, how can they engage in violence?
In addition to taking out elixirs for cultivation from him, Ou Cunjie also took away a few elixirs for relieving fatigue and happiness.
"People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. It seems that the accumulated over the past few hundred years has taken effect. I was targeted the first time I went out. They actually treated the noble alchemist like this. Fortunately, there are people behind this alchemist."
After returning to the cave, Shen Lian hadn't even sat down yet when someone knocked on the door again.
This time it's a good thing.
The cave has been upgraded.
The cave he lived in was only of a mid-level level.
The person behind the giant ship took the initiative to upgrade his cave.
Not only did he live in the first-class cave on the top of the giant ship, but it was also equipped with a rockery and hot springs, and had fairies when he came in and attendants when he went out.
They also refunded the previous shipping fee and gave me a small gift.
"The true disciples of Juntian Pavilion are still the best."
Lying in the hot spring, with a fairy massaging his shoulders on each side, Shen Lian muttered something silently.
After Ou Cunjie ate his Liuqian Pill and began to practice both magic and body, he actually snatched a position as a true successor.
"Okay, I need to practice, you guys can leave now."
After half a day, Shen Lian withdrew his big hands from the thin gauze skirt, and the expression on his face became sacred.
The two female cultivators who were rubbing their legs and shoulders with blushing faces were a little dazed when they saw Shen Lian trying to drive them away. What a bad cultivator! Their breasts were still red.
"I'm sorry, the technique I'm practicing cannot be broken until it reaches the state of harmony."
The two female cultivators lowered their heads and looked at Shen Lian pitifully, then slowly pushed him down. This great alchemist was really unlucky, as he would never be able to enjoy the joy of love until his death.
In this way, thanks to Ou Cunjie, Shen Lian soaked in hot springs and practiced along the way, and after several trips, he finally arrived at the land of Wansha.
…
The blue waves are endless, with layer upon layer of ocean stacked up from top to bottom, and there is no telling how many layers there are.
In the vast ocean, small islands, some golden and some black, emerged from the water.
When I first heard the name, I thought it was a land of yellow sand, but I didn't expect it to be such a sandy place with pointed islands everywhere in the ocean.
Each island is not big, the largest one is only a few miles in circumference, and many of them only have a small pointed tip.
Such a strange scene spread across the vast, overlapping ocean.
The island is not only small but also very desolate. There are living creatures in the sea, but most of them are of low quality.
Wangshu and Huang Youdao, who had arrived here long in advance, checked a large area along the sea.
Shen Lian dived directly into the depths of the sea and found a natural cave deep under the sea as a place for retreat.
Carry it with you in the cave.
Huang Youdao, Wangshu and You Shifang sat cross-legged together.
"This is yours."
"It's yours. Yours."
"You, the dignified ancestor, don't support me, but instead let me take resources away from you against my conscience. This is simply against Tiangang."
The jade boxes that were flying in the crooked hall fell down one by one and piled on the three people.
"Practice well and improve your strength as soon as possible so that you can work for me."
The three of them collected all the jade boxes, then turned into streams of light and dispersed on the seabed, hiding in different levels of water and began to practice.
These three clones benefited from the original body's understanding of the five elements rules, and now their five elements rules have been elevated to the second level.
What was lacking was the power of other major rules of their respective choices. The elixirs related to gravity and the rules of life and death were easy to deal with, as Shen Lian had taken advantage of the situation to get them at Juntian Pavilion. However, Wangshu's rules of reincarnation could only be comprehended bit by bit.
Four figures went to four different places to practice. The endless ocean was still calm, with small waves sparkling.
After Shen Lian arranged the defense, he did not start practicing.
Although the creatures in this vast ocean are not of high rank, there are many aquatic creatures such as fish, shrimps, crabs, and there are also several groups of water snakes living there.
The last time a strange phenomenon occurred in the sky, even the small black fish in the mountain stream spit out bubbles and their bloodlines underwent some mutations. Shen Lian will not forget this incident this time.
"Alas, I will definitely be scolded for doing this."
In the cave, Shen Lian pinched his nose and took out a storage ring, and also took out an alchemy cauldron that he rarely used.
He put all kinds of feces, some black insect corpses and strange herbs in the storage ring into the alchemy cauldron.
After a ball of alchemy fire enveloped the alchemy furnace, a strong sour and smelly smell began to sublime little by little in the furnace.
…
"Uh uh uh... Master, you..."
Sanqian, who had just jumped out of his personal little world, screamed when he smelled the scent.
"Master, you fell into the pit!"
"What are you talking about? Have you ever seen such a sour and refreshing cesspool in heaven or on earth?"
Shen Lian had a huge mask on his face and a muffled voice came out.
"This is what your master has carefully refined."
Although he blocked his six senses, he could still feel the smell, so he made himself an anti-odor mask.
Then, he brought Sanqian in front of him and opened the alchemy furnace.
"Master, please kill me. I have never smelled such smelly poop."
"Xiao Sanqian, your mission is to quietly spread this feces all over this sea area and drive away all the creatures in this area. I want there to be no fish, shrimp or crab here. Even the monks passing by will be driven away by the smoke."
Inside the alchemy furnace, lumps of dark stuff with flower-like cracks were bubbling up and down, emitting steam.
Sanqian looked at the dung ball cauldron with big watery eyes and almost cried.
The first task the owner gave it in a serious manner was to ask it to throw dung balls.
"By the way, don't throw away this tripod. You may need it again next time."
The water droplets rolling in the three thousand big eyes could no longer hold back and fell down, forming a small-scale rainfall.
Wow... the owner actually wants to keep this cauldron for next use.
