In the firelight.
The fair and white body twisted, her feet lightly tapped the air, and her hands touched her body twice, which was really slippery.
Look at these legs, they are so white, long and smooth.
"Chirp"
For a moment, he couldn't help but let out a bird cry.
A stream of watery light came from afar, and Sanqian came up like a Husky, looking left and right, touching, and hugging tightly from the back.
"Master, you have become three thousand sisters."
A red flame flashed, and the naked figure was transformed into a red fire glazed fairy dress. She reached out her hand and pulled out the green jade glazed hairpin from Sanqian's hair and tied it on her own head, causing Sanqian to hold her head in her hands.
"Go, go play."
Sanqian's head was blasted aside, and the Pheasant clone just floated quietly in the air, being carefully examined from inside to outside by the real Shen Lian.
I saw a red fire soul power swirling in the sea of divine consciousness, and a red little phoenix bird was suspended in the flames. In the little phoenix bird's soul, a ray of purple light continued to evolve into bright runes, which were connected to the original body in some way.
…
"That's right, the three Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pills were not taken in vain."
After an inspection, Shen Lian withdrew his spiritual thoughts from the small world on his body with great satisfaction and put them into his lower dantian again.
Deep in the lower dantian, the 'Spirit Root Tree' is surrounded by colorful magical power, and various rules and forces coexist harmoniously here.
Amidst the colorful world, runes on the chessboard-shaped natal talisman array flickered, complementing the magic power around it.
On the array board, 365 five-colored reefs like chess pieces also have mysterious runes derived from them.
The five-colored magic power surrounding the 'Spirit Root Tree' poured into the reefs like a gurgling stream. A ray of purple light passed through them like a dragon, scattering bits of purple runes.
In a flash of thought, the Origin Talisman Array Plate, which was soaked in the three-in-one magic power, went straight into the sea of divine consciousness along the meridians and landed in front of the divine consciousness man.
At this moment, an extremely mysterious induction occurred between the soul, the innate purple spirit, the three-in-one magic power, and the natal talisman array.
The fused three-in-one magic power can not only perfectly integrate the power of other rules, but also perfectly integrate with the soul.
"combine!"
As the purple light and colorful lights intertwined in the sea of divine consciousness, a dazzling light burst out from the natal talisman array. Three hundred and sixty reef-like chess pieces were seen in four directions, surrounding the colorful position in the middle.
In the middle position, there are five reefs which respectively give rise to the aura of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, forming a place where the five elements circulate.
On the fire-attributed reef where the five elements circulate, the shadow of the little pheasant is shining brightly under the cover of purple light, constantly changing between a demon body and a human form, and there is an inseparable connection between its aura and its original form.
Where the five elements circulate is where Shen Lian's main soul is located. With the help of the innate purple light, it controls the other clones.
The natal main soul, the innate purple light and the natal talisman formation constitute the newly upgraded method of transforming one breath into three pure ones.
The main reason for incorporating the natal talisman array into this system was that Shen Lian was afraid that if he had too many clones in the future, he would become schizophrenic.
In order to prevent himself from becoming schizophrenic, he used the Bu Tian Pearls he had made in the Yunxiao Realm to build a control center for his clone.
In this way, even if the entire talisman array plate is covered with it in the future, he will be able to handle it with ease without having to worry about his soul being involved too much and being affected.
In addition, the talisman array plate, as the treasure of talismans and arrays he had envisioned, did not lose the effectiveness of the talisman array and did not delay the evolution of the array.
"Three hundred and sixty-five chess pieces can be used to fill in three hundred and sixty clones."
Looking at his masterpiece created after his sudden enlightenment, Shen Lian was filled with thoughts and seemed a little trance-like.
“I am so proud of myself. Even if there are really 365 clones filling in, my soul will not be able to hold on. Besides, the ranks of the innate purple spirit and the talisman array disk are not high enough. I will easily die of the suffocation.”
"To achieve this goal, we need to collect the original spiritual objects that are stained with the innate energy for the talisman array and the innate purple spirit to devour."
In a flash, all the mysteries in the sea of consciousness dissipated, and a trace of fatigue appeared on Shen Lian's face.
I gained a lot from this sudden enlightenment. The method of transforming one qi into three pure ones has evolved from a pure secret method into a comprehensive technique that integrates the art of formations, the art of talismans, the art of souls, the five elements, and the original spiritual objects. The upper limit has also been infinitely raised.
Theoretically, as long as there are enough original spiritual objects and Shen Lian’s own soul is strong enough, he can continue to incorporate clones.
Even when there are enough clones, you can use the clones to build a super portable formation.
The talisman array plate can be divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. The inner part is a place where the five elements are mutually generated, which is composed of five colorful reefs. The endless generation of the five elements can be transformed into a nourishing land. In this way, Shen Lian's main soul can also be nourished after entering, which can be regarded as building an internal defense.
The outer part was made up of 360 chess piece clones, and the shadows of Huang Youdao and the other two were temporarily left among them. Shen Lian had not yet decided which position to assign them.
Now that the framework has been set up, it is theoretically feasible to deduce it. However, if you want to know whether it is true or false, you still need to practice it.
"Where can I find so many clones?"
Collapsing beside the alchemy furnace, Shen Lian kept kicking the furnace with his hooves, and the crisp sound echoed in the alchemy room.
If one wants to be secretive, the clone must be someone whose spirit is still there but whose consciousness is disintegrated. To be more precise, a living dead person.
Huang Youdao and his two companions, as well as Xiao Zhifeng, are of this type, but Kankan is not. When they were dug out, their residual souls had dissipated, otherwise they would not have been refined into life spirit corpses.
With Shen Lian's current means, it is very easy to shatter the souls of ordinary cultivators, but these ordinary cultivators are of little use to him.
If you want to create a clone, you naturally have to find one with some potential, so that he can provide assistance.
"First, I will upgrade Xiao Feng and arrange a place for him to live and take root in the fairy world. I will also verify whether my new version of Yi Qi Hua San Qing is useful or not."
The little pheasant's bloodline is pretty good. Although it has not been taken too seriously over the years, it has reached the level of secondary bloodline atavism, and its strength is at the early stage of the sixth level.
…
In the next half month, Shen Lian left the cave and traveled around the treasure pavilions in Juntian City, buying a large number of spiritual medicines.
After the large purchase, he returned to Tianchen Mountain and hung up a sign that said "refining medicine". He then sealed the cave again and plunged into the cave to start working.
…
Eight months later.
In Juntian City, the Yunding Chamber of Commerce is holding an auction.
"My fellow Taoists, the next item is a sixth-level mid-grade Xuanshan Pill, which can help you comprehend the second-level gravity rules and improve your physical strength."
"The quality is close to top quality. It is a rare fine gravity rule elixir in history."
Elder Qin from the Chamber of Commerce stood on the auction table, looking at the monks gathered in the venue and introducing loudly.
"The starting price for this elixir is 1,500 top-grade spirit stones."
Elder Qin's offer was much lower than the price of this Rule Dao Pill. He did this on purpose in order to attract more cultivators to take advantage of the bargain.
"Two thousand top-grade spirit stones."
"Two thousand five."
…
"Two thousand eight"
…
"Three thousand five."
At the auction venue, Huang Youdao opened his mouth, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was suppressed by other prices, so he quoted another price.
"four thousand!"
"Four thousand five."
"Four thousand eight."
…
"Five thousand five."
In the meeting room, Huang Youdao frowned slightly, watching the price rising all the way, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Seven thousand."
After this price was announced, other bids in the venue suddenly stopped. A few breaths later, a voice came from another direction, "Seven thousand three hundred."
"Seven thousand five."
Huang Youdao continued to quote prices, and finally no one followed suit.
Elder Qin was smiling at the auction table, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the fellow Taoist who had just offered seven thousand three.
"Seven thousand six!"
Huang Youdao tilted his head and glanced at the figure who was bidding. He saw a figure who was not paying attention to him and fiercely spit out another price.
"Eight thousand!"
This time he didn't bid again.
Elder Qin's face was filled with joy. "Okay, eight thousand top-grade spirit stones. Deal. This spirit pill belongs to this fellow Taoist!"
In the following spiritual item auction, Huang Youdao did not bid again. His face was drooping throughout the whole process, as if he had dropped two thousand top-grade spiritual stones. He also looked at the guy who had just bid for him from time to time.
After the auction ended, he paid the spirit stones, put the elixir in his pocket, and hurriedly left the Yunding Chamber of Commerce.
…
"Fellow Daoist Ji's alchemy skills are getting better and better. Five kinds of rule elixirs, thirteen of which were sold for a total of 80,000 top-grade spirit stones."
In a stone hall inside the Yunding Chamber of Commerce, Elder Qin sat opposite Shen Lian with a smile on his face, with the fragrant spiritual tea in front of him.
"Elder Qin, we are old friends, can you please give me some spirit crystals?"
Shen Lian played with the teacup with a sincere look.
When Elder Qin heard that he had to exchange for spirit crystals, his face suddenly turned bitter.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, where can we get spiritual crystals at this time of year? Only Juntian Pavilion has spiritual crystals, not us."
After looking embarrassed, Elder Qin changed the subject and said, "However, my Yunding Chamber of Commerce and Fellow Daoist Ji are old friends, so it's still possible to exchange for ten or eight yuan."
"How about a hundred dollars?"
"No, ten bucks at most."
Elder Qin shook his head like a rattle.
"Eighty dollars."
"Fifteen dollars."
"Fifty."
"twenty."
After some bargaining, Shen Lian exchanged twenty low-grade spirit crystals from the Yunding Chamber of Commerce at a price of one hundred and fifty to one.
After counting the spirit stones and spirit crystals, Elder Qin spoke again and said, "Fellow Daoist Ji, are you free recently?"
"No."
Shen Lian shook his head slightly, looked at Elder Qin whose smile had froze, and continued, "Alas, I am destined to be a hard worker.
Last time, Juntian Pavilion used the Star Sea Flying Boat to salvage resources from the Void Star Sea. I was fortunate enough to go with them, and I don’t know how I was noticed by the Red Dragon Elder of Juntian Pavilion.
Hasn't the imperial edict been issued, asking me to join the Juntian Pavilion Dandian as a guest elder? I'm used to being casual, don't you think this is... "
"Fellow Daoist Ji's alchemy skills have caught the eye of Elder Chilong?"
A smile appeared on Elder Qin's face again. Elder Chilong was one of the three top-grade sixth-rank alchemists of Juntian Pavilion.
“Elder Qin, keep a low profile. Elder Chilong may think that I have the potential to be a sixth-rank high-quality alchemist.”
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Ji. Joining the Juntian Pavilion Dan Palace will bring you great success and benefit all the descendants of your clan."
Elder Qin bowed, with a hint of envy in his eyes. Compared to other craftsmen and cultivators, alchemists are indeed the most popular, and the threshold to join Juntian Pavilion is also the lowest.
"Haha, Elder Qin is indeed a prophet. How did you know that I wanted to return to my clan and move my family monks here?"
Shen Lian put down the teacup with a smile, "Elder Qin, let's work together next time."
After leaving the Yunding Chamber of Commerce, he did not return to Tianchen Mountain, but headed towards the Bodhi Cave.
There was nothing wrong with what Elder Qin said. He really caught the eye of Elder Chilong and was about to join the Juntian Pavilion, which countless cultivators in Jun Realm dreamed of.
When passing by Lingmu Valley from a distance, I took a special look towards the misty valley.
Huang Youdao had returned to Lingmu Valley after the auction. Although the Immortal Palace did not restrict the three people's travel, the Lingmu Immortal Palace was famous for selling information, so they naturally had to be on guard against someone monitoring them.
Shen Lian was even too lazy to confirm whether anyone was monitoring Huang Youdao and the other two, and just did everything as if they were being monitored.
After returning to Lingmu Valley, Huang Youdao returned to the cave where he practiced. He couldn't wait to take out the gravity rule pill and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes.
After an inspection, a strong medicinal fragrance was smelled, and streams of dark yellow light filled the entire cave. All the dust in the air fell into the ground at once, making the air clear.
After carefully checking the pill, he put it back into the medicine bottle and began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing.
After regulating his breath for a while, he opened the spiritual barrier in the cave that prevented him from being disturbed, took out the elixir and put it into his mouth.
The pill melted in the mouth as soon as it entered his mouth. A dark yellow medicinal power surged out of his body. In the derived dark yellow spiritual light, there were faint undulating mountains.
The pill released its medicinal power bit by bit and finally slid into the Dantian. After the outer shell of the medicinal power dissolved, a bit of spiritual power flashed out, and then sank into the depths of the Dantian sea and disappeared.
…
Shen Lian, who was on his way, sensed the changes in Huang Youdao's Dantian sea, and then quickened his speed and headed towards the Bodhi Cave.
There is a small spiritual barrier inside the Gravity Rule Pill, and in the spiritual barrier is the backup plan he prepared for Huang Youdao and the other two.
The elders of the Immortal Palace were still waiting for the fake Pei Tianlan, and had no idea what this guy was doing. Shen Lian didn't want to be involved here for the time being, so he prepared some trump cards for Huang Youdao and the other two.
Inside the spiritual confinement is a combination formation that seals the sky and locks the earth. Originally, Shen Lian wanted to incorporate this formation into his own natal talisman formation plate.
But I didn’t expect that after this epiphany, the innate purple light and the natal talisman array plate would become more compatible.
Fortunately, the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Formation was not wasted and was used directly here.
At present, Lingmu Immortal Palace is aloof from the outside world, and the elders in the palace also look superior. Although they do not show it on the surface, that kind of indifference still exists in their bones.
In comparison, the fake Pei Tianlan is likely to attack the three clones, and attacking the three clones can actually consolidate his identity as Pei Tianlan.
As long as the fake Pei Tianlan dares to do something bad to him, he will give him a big blow.
In the combined formation that seals the sky and locks the earth, Shen Lian also thoughtfully prepared other gifts.
Previously, thirty-seven almost intact corpses of the Void Refinement Realm were obtained in the Void Star Sea, including four in the late Void Refinement Realm.
He refined these corpses into self-destructive puppets and incorporated them into a combined formation. In times of crisis, they would directly turn into huge fireworks.
…
The Bodhi Cave, as the base for Juntian Pavilion to issue external missions, has countless monks coming and going every day. Just as Shen Lian arrived at the door, a figure came quickly towards him.
"Brother Ji, there is no need to accept the mission here, why did you come here in person?"
There was a hint of eagerness in his voice. It was the Elder Wu Gang whom he met when he first came here.
Elder Wu Gang was indifferent at that time, but now his face is full of smiles, as if he had seen a loved one.
"Elder Wu."
"Alas... why call me elder? Call me brother."
Wu Gang pulled Shen Lian's sleeve and entered the Bodhi Cave. "Brother, what is the purpose of your visit today?"
"Take leave and go back to visit relatives."
Shen Lian was also very decisive. He failed to go back last time, and now that the clear and turbid tides were coming to an end, he took this opportunity to send the little phoenix bird out to experiment with his new secret method, and also to go to Wanxiang Mountain to see if he could find a 'living dead' to sneak in.
Shen's status as a guest elder of the Alchemy Hall was given to him when he was refining pills behind closed doors, but he was not in a hurry to report for duty.
“If you don’t return home when you are rich and powerful, it’s like walking in the night in fine clothes.”
Wu Gang nodded in agreement, "Brother, now that you have joined the Dan Palace, we must get along well in the future."
"Of course. I've received a lot of care from my brother during my missions over the years."
What a ridiculous concern. Shen Lian was just being polite. It would be nice if they could be friendly with each other. Anyway, it depends on the situation whether they will visit each other in the future or not.
"Brother, which elder should I go to for leave?"
"The Fire Spirit Elder of the Dan Palace is here today, in that flying palace."
Following Wu Gang's guidance, Shen Lian saw a blazing stone palace suspended in the air.
"Let's talk next time, bro. I can't wait to go back home."
…
Half a day later, when Shen Lian came out of the Bodhi Cave, the robe on his body had changed.
On the moon-white robe, nine cloud patterns embellished the corners like waves.
On the left side of the chest, a colorful spoon-shaped mark appeared, and under the spoon was a furnace.
Below the alchemy furnace, there are six round five-colored pills lined up in a row.
The spoon represents the Juntian Key, the spiritual treasure of Juntian Pavilion, the alchemy furnace refers to the Alchemy Palace, and the six five-colored pills represent the sixth-level alchemist.
After changing his robe, Shen Lian became a sixth-rank alchemist in the Alchemy Hall of Juntian Pavilion.
By the way, there is also a spoon-shaped jade pendant hanging around the waist.
Outside the Bodhi Cave, the monks passing by looked at Shen Lian, who was wearing a moon-white robe, and either avoided him or saluted from a distance.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and smiled, then nodded, "My friend, you are polite."
Tsk tsk, for a moment, my chest couldn't help but straighten up.
"Hey, go home!"
After changing his skin, the effect of walking in Juntian City was completely different. The monks kept away from him, and fellow Taoists smiled at him everywhere.
Suddenly I felt that the world was spacious and that all my fellow Taoists were good people.
After feeling the city for a while, Shen Lian rode the flowing light towards the outside of the city. Although he has now become the elder of the Dan Hall of Juntian Pavilion, he has never actually entered the Juntian Cave Heaven.
Now Shen Lian had no intention of going to Juntian Pavilion, so he asked for leave on the pretext of going home to visit relatives.
Half a day later, he boarded a huge void ship outside the city. Coincidentally, it was the Xu family's ship.
This time, they came directly to the best cave in the giant ship, and arranged for a group of female cultivators to serve them.
I have to say that Shen Lian's moon-white long clothes are really useful. They can directly intimidate many villains.
Whoever messes with him is equivalent to messing with Juntian Pavilion.
As long as he follows the normal route of traveling through the void and doesn't wander around in any corners, this leather will be the biggest guarantee.
"My Lord, please drink this cup to the full."
Inside the cave, a petite and lovely female cultivator was crawling in front of him, climbing up like a snake, and bringing the wine glass to her lips.
"My Lord, if you are free, I am Xu Yunhuang from the Xu family, here to meet you."
There were sounds outside the cave, but the female cultivators surrounding Shen Lian did not stop their actions.
“Ahem…”
Shen Lian withdrew his hand from the hot spring, wiped it on the young female cultivator in front of him, and sat up straight.
"I am the elder of the Dan Palace. My every word and action represents the reputation of Juntian Pavilion. Fellow Taoists, please don't misunderstand me."
These words caused the female cultivators to moan softly.
"Meet Master Ji Dan."
After Xu Yunhuang entered the cave, he ignored the female cultivators who were lying or leaning beside Shen Lian, and bowed to Shen Lian in a proper manner.
As he spoke, he handed over a jade box.
"Friend Xu, what do you mean?"
Shen Lian moved his nose and took a light sniff, and immediately knew that there was a sixth-grade mid-grade Bailing Yunteng flower in the jade box.
"This is a gift from our Xu family to congratulate Fellow Daoist Ji on becoming an elder of the Dan Palace. This small gift is not enough to show respect."
"Then I'll take it."
Shen Lian waved his hand and put the jade box away.
Looking at the fairy world, not to mention Juntian Pavilion, even in any sect, the guest elder is just a title. The status may be very high, but in fact, he has no power at all in the sect.
As a guest elder of the Dan Palace, his only role is to refine elixirs for the Juntian Pavilion. Of course, he can also exchange some spiritual objects, skills, etc. for cultivation from the Juntian Pavilion.
Similarly, it can also scare outsiders.
The reason why the leave was granted this time was also because of Elder Chilong. There was no conflict of interest among everyone. It was human nature to return home in glory, and everyone was happy to give face to a new guest elder.
“路途遥远，要是道友什么需要炼制的灵丹，到可以拿出来。”
别人给面子，沈炼自然也不会冷漠以待，反正也是赶路，能偷点灵药就多偷点。
姬无咸的人设，他已经想好了，至纯丹师一位，专门为钧天阁的道友们炼制灵丹。
“多谢姬道友了，在下不打搅道友了。”
看着徐云晃离开，沈炼不由得感慨着，都是好人啊。
眸光扫过身前女修，“来来来，别愣着，咱们接着舞接着喝。”
“……老夫给你们讲啊，我花费了上千年研制了一种名为九转阴阴极乐……”
……
“呼……”
“美色如刀，刀刀刮骨，还好我骨头硬。”
洞府内，沈炼散去了遮挡阵法，面前躺了一地女修，水漫金山，神魂颠倒。
这些女修也不知道徐家从哪里收罗来的，都修炼了魅惑类型的阵法，一看就是专门培养的歌伎，用来伺候巨舰上贵客的。
别误会，他可没有真刀真枪的干，颠鸾倒凤还是可以欣赏欣赏的。
都说了，他研究了九转阴、阴极乐丹，最适合虚鸾假凤的戏码。
抬手间，一道道流光飞掠，没入到了每一位女修的手中，皆是四阶上品的灵丹。
赖账可以，可听曲的钱绝不能赖。
一弹手指，一阵风潮卷起将洞府内的靡靡之气散尽，也将躺在地上的女修惊醒。
一个个抚头皱眉，回忆着之前的事情，可好像场面太过于混乱，一时间有些想不起来。
堂堂六阶大丹师，动动这些女修的记忆还是相当简单的。
“呀，四阶灵丹。”
很快，一群女修都反应了过来，一个个眼睛水汪汪看向沈炼。
不愧是丹师就是大气，她们最强也不过元婴层次，更多都是金丹而已，这些灵丹自己用还是卖掉都是一大批灵石。
“爷，要不咱们再来一次。”
“走走走，我要炼丹了。”
一群女修依依不舍三回头的走出了洞府，眼神中梨花带雨，样子那叫一个可怜。
可神圣如姬丹师早就一脸淡然，坚决和靡靡之气挥手诀别。
……
“徐家在钧天阁内势力不小，这下姬丹师平易近人、性情随和的消息就能打出去了吧。”
沈炼沉吟着起身来到窗户外，看向了茫茫虚空，浊气正在一点点散去，空间震荡的波动也已经平复下来。
此行的目的地还是天星仙城，从那里乘坐空间虫洞横穿两百多条星海，在换乘虚空巨舰就能抵达苍渊之地了。
舒展了一下身姿后，重新盘坐到了床榻上。
赶路过程并不耽误修行，上中两座丹田内法力潺潺流淌，体内本命精气也在一点点滋生。
按部就班下去，一千三百年左右就能提升到炼虚后期，速度倒是比之前快上不少。
长路漫漫，沈炼一边修炼，一边思索着将小凤鸟下放的位置。
小凤鸟体内传承着凤凰血脉，属性属火，自然要选一个合适的地方。
钧天境内地域全图，早就在沈炼记忆中了然于心，整个上钧天境内大大小小的地域上千。
这其中，妖族的居住地更是密密麻麻，有名号的妖域如乾法妖山，万妖墓地，炙琅妖域，天河龙宫等等，都是出过七阶大妖尊的地方。
如今这些地方虽说大妖尊没了，可有些地方依旧六阶大圆满的大妖坐镇。
有六阶大圆满大妖的地方可不适合小凤去，需要找一个相对没落的地方才行，这样才能趁虚而入。
根据流传的消息，沈炼最属意的炙琅妖域，这里是一片火焰之地，多以火属性、土属性的妖族居住。
地域上有十几个强大妖族种群，其中比较有名的是炙炎妖凤，九纹熊罴，烈岩貂，这些种族之间相对不算融洽，因为乱所以才有机会。
除了炙琅妖域外，他另外一个瞩目之地就是苍渊之地，苍渊多山，潜藏的妖族众多，也是一个不错的地方。
……
徐家巨舰降临天星仙城后就会折返，沈炼在天星仙城借着空间虫洞便利，一下子横跨了两百多条星河，来到了寰岳之地的隽秀仙城。
别的不说，这身钧天阁的皮真的是太好用了。
一路走过来，碰到的都是好人，还报以微笑。
从寰岳之地在前往苍渊还有六条星河的距离，沈炼寻了一头庞大的虚空山龟登上。
就这样一路招摇的回到了苍渊之地的云月山脉，引起了超级震荡。
姬家那个家伙回来了，还成了钧天阁的客卿长老！ 一千多年下来，在废墟上重建的姬家发展的并不太好，族中也就诞生了两位化神。
可这都不算啥，老祖宗回来啦，还傍上了钧天阁。
姬家祖地，祖先堂。
“老祖。”
姬家两位化神跪倒在地，至于上一代族长已经坐化了。
沈炼也没有说话，而是检查着自己之前留下来的魂灯，倒是没有什么变化。
“老夫会在家族中多停留些日子，将族中有天赋的小辈都召集起来，等我有时间就亲自看看。”
“老祖，附近几大家族，还有月食妖山的大妖都派来修士想要拜见老祖。”
“不见。”
沈炼头也不回就把两个后辈修士轰了出去。
堂堂钧天阁客卿长老，哪有时间见这些阿猫阿狗，还当他是以前的姬无咸，现在请称呼他职务。
……
苍渊之地，苍浑山。
山涧中缭绕着熊熊火焰，将四周虚空都灼烧的呈现扭曲状态。
这一日，山野中一道身影若隐若现，最后在山壁处露了变成干瘦的样子的沈炼，四下打量着四周环境。
他将婠婠留在了姬家族地幻化成了姬无咸的样子，开启了阵法炼制灵丹，而他本尊则是出来给小凤找一个栖身地。
小凤鸟是一气化三清升级版后，用本命符阵盘来掌控的第一个分身，虽说在推衍的过程中，沈炼参悟的都很顺利。
可毕竟是第一次借助本命符阵盘来掌控，他需要实践一下才能确定，这样才能为下一步混入万相山做准备。
要知道，万相山现在还没有真正没落，一座拥有合道老祖的圣地，他必须尽可能的保证混入之后的安全。
“这地方不错，火灵力充足，可惜这个天火蜥龙族太差劲，就算是吞噬掉也作用不大，还是要给小凤鸟找一个同族来栖身。”
“事不宜迟，换地方。”
一念间，沈炼消失不见。
……
数年后。
云月山脉。
姬家祖堂，沈炼从外而来进入了祖堂内，将替换的婠婠收回来后，他的脸色很不好看。
苍渊之地并没有合适的地方，无法给小凤鸟后续提升提供帮助。
这一日，他将姬家新族长喊来，交代了一些事情并且留下了一部分灵丹，告诉此人他要去访友，随后就会返回钧天城，告诫族人要好好修炼。
做完安排后，沈炼直接飞身离开了姬家，离开的时候还特意穿着钧天阁的袍子在云月仙城上空飞过。
……
等到离开云月山脉附近后，沈炼闪身进入了一处山坳深处，在其中开辟了一座洞府，并且用灵符绘制出了一个姬无咸的样子，外面还安排上了阵法。
做完这一切后，他才悄然离开。
这个洞府若没有人触及，二十年内就会自主毁掉。
万一有人触碰，也会自毁，造个假洞府主要是怕有人跟踪。
一路驾驭土遁术掠出去十万里，沈炼才重新变换了个样子钻了出来，没有停留在苍渊之地坐上了巨龟。
……
万相山。
和其他地域名称不同，这片环绕的群山之地就叫万相山，从高到低一共有九十九座山脉。
万相山圣地就在最高处的山脉上。
千钧山脉，火焰缭绕，一座座火山口吞吐着浓浓的火焰，在赤火缭绕的虚空上，还能看到一头头赤凤的虚影划过长空。
某一日，火山吞吐的边缘位置，出现了一道年轻的男修。
“三十多年长途跋涉，终于来到了万相山了。”
眸光扫过四周，沈炼的脸上有着一丝倦意。
这地方属于万相山之地的一片火焰山脉，说是山脉实则是一片广袤无比的陆地，生活着数不清的火属性妖族。
此地还盛产火属性的灵物，故此吸引了很多其他地域的修士前来寻找机缘。
沈炼沿着火焰边缘飞行，看到了一座屹立在火山口处的仙城。
他这一路上想要给小凤鸟找一个安家之处，可惜哪里都不行，索性先一步来到了万相山之地。
靠近仙城后，从城头的古字上得知这座仙城名为火云，早在万相山圣地建立之前就存在了。
沈炼将自己打扮成了一个火属性的炼虚修士朝着仙城中走去，途中还看到了万相山的弟子结伴而行。
这些弟子往来匆匆，动作伶俐。
想要入手万相山，首先需要一具‘活死人’修士的身体。
在火云仙城中购买一件六阶火属性灵物后，沈炼就直接换了地方，开始在万相山之地游荡起来，看看能不能碰到机会。
Among the young cultivators of this generation in Wanxiang Mountain, in addition to the leading Wan Yinzong, there are six true disciples.
There are only ten places for true disciples in each generation.
In other words, if you want to become the true disciple, you must challenge the true disciple and take his place.
Under this rule, if there is a vacant position in the true sect, the inner disciples can fill it through fighting.
But Wanxiang Mountain stipulates that if you want to fill the position of true teachings, you need to pass the secret realm assessment, which is no easier than challenging the position of true teachings.
However, after hundreds of years, there are still seven true disciples, and the three vacant positions can never be filled.
It can be seen from one point that according to the inherited standard assessment, the level and quality of Wanxiangshan's disciples are declining.
Wanxiang Fairy City.
Shen Lian rented a cave where an auction was about to be held, which attracted many cultivators, including many disciples of Wanxiang Mountain.
He did not consider the seven true disciples of Wanxiang Mountain. These true disciples were still true disciples in name only, but in reality they had already begun to do the work of elders.
If we really look at it, only Wan Yinzong can still withstand a beating.
In other words, except Wan Yinzong, the remaining six true disciples of Wanxiang Mountain can graduate. The reason why they are still in the position of true disciples is because there are no subsequent disciples to fill the position. It would be too embarrassing to have all of a sudden no one is there.
However, the old guys in Wanxiang Mountain were unwilling to relax the assessment standards, so that the later disciples were unable to fill the positions.
"It's better to be a little bit down. If we don't decline, how can we highlight our importance?"
After learning the news, Shen Lian became even more surprised. The worse the situation was, the more opportunities he had.
"Ning Yuanjin, peak of the early stage of Refining Void."
"Lü Kezhao, middle stage of the Void Refining Realm."
"Qin Xingchen, middle stage of Refining Void."
…
"Xiao Yunlin, peak of the early stage of Void Refining."
During the days of strolling around Wanxiang Mountain, Shen Lian was not idle. He found out who among the inner disciples of Wanxiang Mountain were most likely to obtain the true teachings.
He also set his target on these people.
A total of nine people were selected as candidates.
Of course, Shen Lian wasn't so despicable as to just go up and kill someone and then take his place.
He likes two people to be in love with each other and have a mutual understanding of each other, so that there will be no barriers when they occupy the physical body, just like Ji Wuxian.
"Daoyou, what is your last wish?"
"Jin He Dao?"
"No problem. I'll give you the name of He Dao. Can you lend it to me?"
This is a two-way thing. It would be too low to turn it into a fight.
You see, he and Ji Wuxian are very good examples.
Shen Lian is doing what he promised the Ji family. If things continue to develop in this way, the Ji family will definitely return to the level of the Lianxu family.
Sitting near the window of Shancheng Restaurant, Shen Lian was eating while looking at a huge stick that appeared in the distance and flew through the air. Standing on the stick was a burly figure.
"Qin Xingchen, a cultivator with five spiritual roots, practicing both Dharma and body."
Shen Lian was very optimistic about Fellow Daoist Qin, who was the most reckless of the nine candidates he had chosen. He had been seriously injured in the Clear and Turbid Tide and had been recuperating in the sect.
“Hey!
Looking at the cultivators coming and going, Shen Lian saw a figure flying in the distance. This cultivator had only one arm and was lame, and he limped into the city step by step.
Cultivators at the level of Refining Void could have long since restored their flesh and blood and limbs. Even if they were eroded by some strange energy, they could still reshape their arms with the help of spiritual medicines and objects.
Therefore, it is extremely rare to see a cultivator in the Lianxu stage with incomplete legs and feet.
The disciples of Wanxiang Mountain passing by along the way, after seeing this cultivator, lowered their flying altitudes and bowed to him.
"Elder Yuan Zhen."
"Yuan Zhen is the real elder."
The lame monk nodded and waved his remaining arm.
"Go, go, go, go and do your work. Don't mind me."
At this time, Yuan Zhen raised his head and looked over across the void.
"What a keen perception."
Shen Lian also looked outside, his eyes wandering, as if he didn't notice Yuan Zhen looking at him, and he looked around at the cultivators coming and going outside.
"It's really strange that Elder Yuan Zhen went out."
He could hear some cultivators talking to each other, but Shen Lian pretended not to hear and continued eating his food, but he was concentrating in his heart to listen secretly.
This elder Yuan Zhen is also a celebrity. The reason why his injuries have not recovered is because he was affected by the heavenly calamity, which caused this condition.
The reason why he was affected by the heavenly tribulation was to save his senior brother who was forcibly going through the heavenly tribulation of Hedao.
How to save?
Seeing that his senior brother was about to be struck to death, he wanted to go up and block the lightning to give his senior brother a chance to reincarnate.
"What a great favor! Saving people from the calamity, they are really all crazy."
After stuffing a colorful chicken drumstick into his mouth, Shen Lian was speechless.
