Island in the middle of the lake.
"The wine envoy is dead?"
Yin Yihan, who looked weak and had a faint aura of death around him, sat cross-legged in the hall on the island in the middle of the lake. He had just returned from the Void Star Sea and came directly to Juntian Pavilion.
His old rival Ding Changweng was really difficult to deal with. In order to hold him back, he had to fight for him in the void starry sea.
In addition, after the fight, his injuries were in a critical condition, so he could only find a secret place to temporarily recover, which took a lot of time, and he hurried back.
"What a pity. I will send a message to the Lingmu Branch Palace in Juntian Realm to provide relief to his clan members and family members."
Although the Green Fermented Clan is a small tribe, some of its members live in the Huai River area. Since they have died, they should be given some compensation.
Then, Yin Yihan changed the subject and asked, "How is the reincarnated Taoist friend?"
"Ahem..."
Pei Tianlan coughed lightly a few times and showed his injuries to the elders of the Immortal Palace. He also paid a heavy price to protect the reincarnated Yunxiao spirit.
"Fellow Daoist Yunxiao is alright. If Elder Yin doesn't believe me, go and take a look."
Having said that, Pei Tianlan stood up and led Yin Yihan towards the secret room under the stone hall.
Several overlapping spaces were opened up under the stone hall, and they went all the way to the outside of the secret room at the bottom. Pei Tianlan waved his hand and cast a series of secret spells, slowly opening the seal of the secret room.
The secret room was shrouded in a green light, mysterious and unparalleled, with runes of all sizes complementing each other.
The extremely profound aura blocked any outside prying eyes. After Yin Yihan sensed it slightly, he retracted his spiritual thoughts.
“Is this awakening?”
Looking at the hazy figure shrouded in green runes, Yin Yihan originally wanted to take the reincarnated monk back to Haotian Realm immediately, but at the moment it seemed difficult to interrupt the reincarnated person's awakening.
"That should be it. Before we returned to Juntian Pavilion, Fellow Daoist Yunxiao fell into this state. I could only temporarily place him in the place where I was practicing in seclusion."
"Ahem..."
Pei Tianlan coughed again, "Not long after I parted with Elder Yin, I was ambushed by a mysterious formation master on the way. This cultivator has treacherous methods and a very high level of attainment in formation.
Although I was able to break the formation repeatedly, I could not find any trace of the master of the formation. Instead, I was almost trapped and killed inside the formation.
In this crisis, I didn't expect that the emissary would fall into the hands of this formation master, and even his body was not recovered."
"Mr. Ding Chang is a sinister and cunning person. I didn't expect that after calling on the dragon demon for help, this cultivator actually invited other cultivators as backup. Fortunately, fellow Taoist is extremely powerful, otherwise I would really be ashamed to go back and see the Taoist Master after this mission."
Yin Yihan did not doubt that Pei Tianlan's words were false. After all, in the fairy world, Pei Tianlan had the closest relationship with the reincarnated cultivators.
The envoy of Lingmu Immortal Palace is a big shot in the eyes of others, but he is nothing. The death of an envoy of the Immortal Palace is not a big problem, as long as the reincarnated cultivator is fine.
"After returning to Juntian City, I saw that Elder Yin had not returned yet, so Pei did not dare to leave Fellow Daoist Yunxiao in the Immortal Valley of Juntian City. I could only bring everyone back to Juntian Pavilion temporarily."
As he spoke, Pei Tianlan sighed, "This is the first time I have seen such a profound combination of formations. There is a wisp of innate energy lingering in the formation. The creation is so mysterious. If I encounter it again in the future, I will definitely seek justice for myself."
As he spoke, his brows furrowed, as if he was sensing the pain transmitting through his body.
"With Fellow Daoist Pei's talent, there will definitely be a time to seek justice in the future."
Yin Yihan replied that both of them were seriously injured and that was undeniable.
"There are not many formation masters in Juntian Realm who can trap Fellow Daoist Pei. As Fellow Daoist said, there is still a trace of innate energy in the formation he controls. Most likely, there is some original spiritual object as the formation base. This person is most likely from Haotian Realm."
Pei Tianlan nodded in agreement, but his frown never relaxed.
"Friend Pei, let's go up for now and don't disturb us here."
Yin Yihan withdrew his gaze from the hazy green light.
The state of a reincarnated cultivator is naturally not suitable for traveling. If such a reincarnated cultivator receives the full cultivation of the Taoist Master, his future achievements will surely far exceed his. Naturally, he cannot offend others because of a trivial matter.
Pei Tianlan was right to bring people to Juntian Pavilion. Inside the cave of Juntian Pavilion, even if Ding Changweng had a backup plan, he could not reach Juntian Pavilion. After all, there were Hedao cultivators in charge here.
I have to say that Hedao of Juntian Pavilion was self-aware. He did not intervene from beginning to end. Instead, he just let the Hedao seeds in the sect communicate with him.
This is a very good way to ensure close contact without causing any misunderstandings.
After returning to the main hall and sitting down again, Yin Yihan looked at Pei Tianlan and said, "Daoyou, you can follow me to Lingmu Immortal Palace. You will definitely be favored by Tianyuan Daozun."
Hearing Yin Yihan's invitation, Pei Tianlan's face showed some thought, and after a long while he said: "I have ascended from the sky, and in just a few years, I am about to cultivate to the late stage of refining emptiness. All this is thanks to Juntian Pavilion. The sect has treated me well, and I really can't bear to leave. I can only thank you for your kindness."
The situation at Lingmu Immortal Palace is unclear, so you absolutely cannot go there.
"Fellow Daoist Pei is a pure cultivator."
Seeing Pei Tianlan shaking his head to refuse, Yin Yihan praised him.
Compared with Lingmu Immortal Palace, Juntian Pavilion is nothing.
But Pei Daoyou still refused, which shows that his heart is pure and righteous.
It's good to make friends with such a cultivator when I come to Juntian Realm to complete the mission this time. Although he is only at the peak of the middle stage of Refining Void now, his combat power is no weaker than that of the perfect stage of Refining Void. It's only a matter of time before he cultivates to the perfect level of Refining Void.
Not long after, four figures appeared outside the hall. Each of them had an erratic aura and looked seriously injured.
"Meet Elder Yin."
After the four figures entered the room, they bowed and saluted.
Yin Yihan looked at Huang Youdao, the other two, and Heiya, but he didn't blame them, "Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoists."
Pei Tianlan also said, "We returned with serious injuries. I was afraid that something might happen outside, so I temporarily placed you in the pavilion to recuperate after I came back."
Yin Yihan did not ask any further questions. After a brief exchange, he asked Huang Youdao and his group to leave the stone hall. As for Lu Yu, a cultivator in the early stage of refining emptiness, the gap between him and him was too big, so he did not care about him at all.
"Elder Yin, Fellow Daoist Yunxiao is in the process of awakening. This period of time can be long or short. Fellow Daoist can find a cave here to temporarily recuperate. The elixirs needed for healing will naturally be supplied by Juntian Pavilion with all its strength."
"In addition, I suggest that fellow Taoist Huang Youdao stay in Juntian Pavilion for the time being to practice. After Elder Yin escorts Yunxiao to Haotian Realm, we can let a few people leave Juntian Pavilion. This will also keep the time of fellow Taoists' return a secret."
"As for how fellow Daoist Huang Youdao and the other two should make arrangements, I think we should not interfere. Let's wait until fellow Daoist Yunxiao reaches a certain level of cultivation and then see what he thinks."
"Fellow Daoist Pei is very thoughtful."
Hearing this, Yin Yihan nodded helplessly.
Huang Youdao and the other two did have an irreconcilable feud with the reincarnated monk. Rather than killing him outright, it would be better to leave it to the reincarnated monk to deal with it himself. It would be a waste not to do such a simple favor.
Even if Pei Tianlan didn't say it, he would have considered it.
"I am familiar with Min Xuan, the elder of the Immortal Palace who is in charge of Juntian Realm. I can arrange a good position for you. Once you become a member of my Immortal Palace, it will not be easy for you to run around."
Originally Pei Tianlan wanted to secure a position for Huang Youdao and the other two, but he didn't expect that under his earnest instruction, Elder Yin had learned to draw inferences about other situations.
"Elder Yin is also very thoughtful."
After a discussion, the two seemed to have forgotten Lu Yu's arrangements.
"Fellow Daoist, you can stay in Juntian Pavilion to heal your wounds for the time being. I will go to another cave outside Linghu Lake to heal my wounds."
After saying this, Pei Tianlan directly gave up his cave, which made Yin Yihan quite satisfied. He could only feel at ease if he knew that the reincarnated cultivator was guarding it himself.
…
Fuguang Fairy City.
"What a treacherous Fu Guang Sect, I have the obligation to help you further optimize the sect's industrial structure, make it bigger and stronger, and create greater glory."
After walking out of the huge spiritual tree, Shen Lian showed a faint smile on his face, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart.
Fu Guangzong has all kinds of high-level spiritual medicines, but he just refuses to sell them to him.
He even doesn't give face to the guest elder of the Dan Hall of Juntian Pavilion. He is courting death.
Fortunately, I bought the physical cultivation elixir that can advance to the late sixth stage. Although the quality is a little lower, it does not affect my use, otherwise I would have gone crazy.
"Next time I come, I'll help you reform your business."
After taking another look at the tall spiritual tree, Shen Lian turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the outside of Fuguang Fairy City.
Yi Jiamu said that more than ten years later there would be a large auction where more than a dozen ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs would appear, and even the finale spiritual herb would be a thirty-thousand-year-old Qianyuan spiritual herb.
But for him, although the spiritual medicine is good, there will be too many cultivators snatching it by then. It would be better for him to wait until he advances to the late stage of refining emptiness, change his vest, and steal the spiritual medicine directly from internal channels.
You won't give it to him this time, right? He can come and get it himself next time.
The identity of a guest elder in the Dan Hall of Juntian Pavilion is useful, but it is not the highest level of treatment. It would be different if Pei Tianlan came.
"Let's go back to Juntian City and get in touch with Pei Tianlan first, and then we can look for a place to advance together."
After flying all the way out of Fuguang Fairy City, Shen Lian planned the route back to Juntian City in his mind.
…
A few years later.
Outside the Juntian Pavilion, Shen Lian, wearing the Juntian Pavilion Dandian robe and with a dusty face, walked out of a space wormhole. In order to get back as soon as possible, he was very extravagant this time.
He rushed all the way back to Tianchen Mountain, and he had not yet left his cave here.
After becoming a guest elder of the Dan Hall of Juntian Pavilion, he could move to a better place to live, but Shen Lian had not had the time to do so yet.
On the first day after returning to Tianchen Mountain, he went to the Bodhi Cave to find the manager of the Dan Palace. They agreed to rest for a few days, and then report to the Dan Palace after shaking off the dust from the journey.
But just one day later, a figure appeared outside the cave from afar.
"Is Elder Ji here?"
Looking at the cave where the spiritual prohibition formation was operating, Xu Zhijin asked a very meaningless question. Of course, there were people in the cave, otherwise he would not have come.
Inside the cave, Shen Lian's eyes opened and closed.
Here it comes.
After the cave's spiritual barrier was opened, Xu Zhijin entered and introduced himself, "Elder Ji, I am an inner disciple of Juntian Pavilion, temporarily serving as the steward of the Alchemy Hall. Senior Brother Pei, a true disciple of the sect, needs to refine a special spiritual pill.
From the database of many alchemy elders in the Alchemy Hall, I found that Fellow Daoist Ji is good at refining special elixirs, so Deputy Hall Master Chilong asked me to summon Master Ji. "
Xu Zhijin explained his purpose as soon as he arrived. In fact, he had been wandering in Tianchen Mountain for more than ten years, and finally he was eagerly waiting for Master Ji Dan to come back.
The sect's true disciples in Juntian Pavilion are actually divided into two levels. The first level is Senior Brother Xuan Yao and Senior Brother Pei, and the rest of the true disciples are inferior to them.
The sect's true disciples are on par with the elders in Neishan, but the status of the two senior brothers Xuan Yao and Pei Tianlan is comparable to the elders who rank first in Neishan.
With such a status, arranging monks for the sect is just a matter of a word.
"Brother Pei, could it be..."
Shen Lian showed a hint of surprise at just the right moment.
"Yes, it's Senior Brother Pei Tianlan, one of the two great seeds of the sect." Xu Zhijin responded proudly, as if he was proud of it.
"I'm free, I'm free. Since Fellow Daoist Pei has called me, of course I'm free." In an instant, the tiredness on Master Ji Dan's face disappeared, and he was full of energy.
Xu Zhijin showed no abnormality on his face. This is human nature.
It is true that the status of an alchemist is higher than that of a cultivator of the same level, but it also depends on the identity and status of the cultivator.
"Friend Xu, wait for me to bathe and change clothes, and when I look like a human being, I will go to see Friend Pei."
Shen Lian rolled his eyes and said, "Licking myself doesn't count as licking."
"I'm waiting here for Elder Ji." Xu Zhijin didn't care. He also saw that Master Ji Dan's robe was wrinkled and his face was still dusty. It was indeed not a good look for him to go see Senior Brother Pei in this state.
…
"Friend Xu, where is Friend Pei meeting me?"
"Friend Xu, do we need to go to Juntian Pavilion? As a guest of the Dan Palace, I have never been to Juntian Pavilion."
"Fellow Daoist Xu, did Fellow Daoist Pei really defeat Elder Neishan in the early stage of Refining Void?"
…
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what kind of elixir does Fellow Daoist Pei need me to refine?"
"Elder Ji, how can I know what happened to Senior Brother Pei? When I meet Senior Brother Pei, I will know what kind of elixir I need to refine."
On the small flying boat, Xu Zhijin responded to Shen Lian without any annoyance.
During the time he served as the deacon of the Dan Palace, he also got to know the alchemy elders in the Dan Palace.
In order to allow the alchemists in the Alchemy Hall to play their best role, the sect keeps records of each alchemist's alchemy techniques, skills, and focus.
This also makes it convenient for disciples within the sect to find the most suitable alchemist when they need it, thus increasing the success rate of alchemy.
This Master Ji was an outstanding alchemist in refining elixirs during the previous Clear and Turbid Tides, and was favored by the Deputy Hall Master Chilong. After returning from the Void Star Sea, he was directly accepted into the Alchemy Hall as a guest elder.
Master Ji has achieved great accomplishments in refining special types of rule-based elixirs and body-cultivation elixirs, and the relevant information has been registered in the Alchemy Palace.
The flying boat flew high into the sky, passed through a layer of colorful spiritual restrictions, and entered a vast small world of caves.
High in the sky within the realm, a soup spoon was slowly turning, emitting colorful light. To people with poor eyesight, it looked like a colorful sun was hanging in the sky.
The moment he entered Juntian Pavilion, a hazy divine thought descended from the sky and swept over Shen Lian.
He sat cross-legged in the spirit boat, still chatting with Xu Zhijin, and looking at the scene in Juntian Pavilion with horror in his eyes, as if he was unaware of the divine consciousness covering him.
This ray of divine consciousness came and went quickly. After sensing the guest jade token hanging on Shen Lian's waist, it was retracted back into the sky.
This was a routine inspection intention separated from the Hedao spiritual treasure Juntian Key, and it would not covet the soul of the cultivator. Shen Lian was refining this identity, and from head to toe, from his soul to the breath of flesh and blood, he exuded the scent of Ji Wuxian.
As long as you don't go to important places such as the sect's treasury, scripture library, etc., you will not be subject to thorough inspections.
What's more, he now has a substitute, so matters like the Sutra Repository will naturally be left to the substitute. He is an alchemist who has settled in Juntian Pavilion and is wholeheartedly devoted to refining elixirs.
Everything has nothing to do with him.
"Friend Xu, aren't we going to the Dan Palace?"
It was seen that the flying boat did not go to the tower-like building surrounded by red flames, but instead flew towards the deeper and vast mountains and rivers. On the way, it also used the help of a small wormhole constructed on the way and spanned an area of tens of thousands of miles.
"Elder Ji, let's go directly to meet Senior Brother Pei. As for Elder Ji's report to the Alchemy Palace, I will help Elder Ji handle it after sending fellow Taoist to Yunxiao Lake."
"Is this okay?"
Xu Zhijin smiled and said, "Why not? Senior Brother Pei is a Hedao Seed, and his cultivation time is precious. Besides, we have been looking for Elder Ji for a long time, so we should not delay Senior Brother Pei's cultivation time. We will naturally take care of some trivial matters for him."
"Look, the ripping blue lake in front is Yunxiao Lake."
"Cloud Lake?"
Shen Lian looked down and saw a sparkling spiritual lake embedded in the ground, like a piece of emerald. He couldn't help but sigh, "Fellow Daoist Pei is a nostalgic person."
"Yes, Senior Brother Pei has not forgotten his roots. It is said that the cultivators of Lingmu Immortal Palace wanted to invite Senior Brother Pei to join, but Senior Brother Pei did not agree. He just said that the sect had trained him, and he would not abandon the sect and join another place."
"Lingmu Immortal Palace is recruiting?"
Shen Lian continued to act out his horror, but his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
"That's Lingmu Immortal Palace... Fellow Daoist Pei is indeed a role model for my generation."
I praise myself and feel it is quite mysterious.
The flying boat drew an arc and did not land on the small island in the center of the lake, but landed on a small hill at the edge of the lake.
"Brother Pei, Master Ji Dan is here."
After a long time, the door of the cave opened.
Xu Zhijin had no intention of going in. "Elder Ji, please give me your identity jade token. I will go and help you to report to the Dan Palace. You can just go and meet Brother Pei with peace of mind."
"Thank you very much."
Shen Lian took off the jade talisman and handed it to Xu Zhijin.
This kid is a little smart. He knows how to do things openly. He didn't ask for the jade talisman earlier or later, but now he is at the door.
After Xu Zhijin left, Shen Lian walked slowly into the cave.
Seeing myself, I felt a little excited.
"Dandian Ji Wuxian, meet Pei..."
Pei Tianlan, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, saw the figure coming in and said, "Elder Ji, you can just call me Fellow Daoist Pei. I asked you to come here to refine a magic pill. Take a look..."
"That's presumptuous."
Shen Lian looked serious.
Then he saw Pei Tianlan took out a piece of tattered animal skin. He quickly took it with both hands respectfully and began to look for the recipe on it.
Naturally, this pill recipe had been prepared long ago. Shen Lian had been scratching his head and found it out from his inherited pill skills. Its main function is to comprehend the death energy. It is called the Nirvana Spirit Pill, and it can help to comprehend the rules of the third level of death energy. It is suitable for injured monks to transform the death energy in their bodies for their own use.
However, it is somewhat dangerous to refine this pill, as it may harm the soul of the alchemist.
You must know that the soul is the foundation for the alchemist to control the temperature of the alchemy furnace. Once it is injured, it will affect the quality of the finished pill.
Otherwise, how can we say that this pill recipe was carefully selected? Pei Tianlan's return from injury this time was no secret among the sect's top leaders, and it even surprised the elders in the inner mountain.
Fortunately, the elders of the sect all knew what was going on. In order to establish contact with the Lingmu Immortal Palace this time, Pei Tianlan made a great contribution.
It's normal to use the death energy lingering around your body to help you comprehend the rules of death energy when you are seriously injured.
Therefore, after Pei Tianlan came back, he took the pill to the Dan Palace. After reading the pill, the alchemists in the Dan Palace were all confused. One of them complained in his heart, no wonder the pill has not been passed down. Is the cultivator who created the pill formula a self-masochist? After a series of questions, no one took over the task of refining the pill.
At the same time, Alchemist Ji Wuxian, who had been taken into the Alchemy Palace because of the Clear and Turbid Tides but had fled back to his hometown to visit his relatives, appeared.
He is good at refining special kinds of elixirs, and he is also an alchemist who has just been admitted to the Alchemy Palace. Naturally, this opportunity to show his abilities should be given to the newcomer.
This kind of closeness to the sect's Hedao Seed is not easy to obtain.
There was silence in the cave.
Shen Lian scratched the animal skin with the pill recipe written on it until it was wrinkled, and remained silent in silence.
After a full stick of incense had passed, he raised his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Pei, the preparation of this pill is too complicated and it is quite harmful to the soul. I need some time to comprehend the recipe."
"Elder Ji said that you accepted this pill?"
Shen Lian gritted his teeth and said, "I got it."
"How long will it take Elder Ji to fully understand the recipe?" Pei Tianlan pressed on.
"Three years."
"I can't guarantee the success rate of the pill."
Pei Tianlan stood up and paced. "I will open the furnace within two years. I won't ask about the success or failure. My injuries are recovering quickly. Once I recover, the effect of taking this elixir for comprehending the death energy will be greatly reduced."
"Two years is two years, but..."
Shen Lian pondered for a moment.
"Elder Ji, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I will arrange for someone to assist you."
"Ji once inherited the skills of an unknown alchemist, which enabled him to have what he has today. He is quite experienced in refining special kinds of elixirs thanks to some small secret techniques.
In order to refine the Nirvana Spirit Wandering Pill, I need some help from outside forces. I haven’t been to the Pill Palace in person yet, so I don’t know the condition of the furnace fire in the palace. I still need to go to the Pill Palace to check it out. If the furnace fire is not suitable, it will also reduce the probability of success, so I need to choose another suitable place for refining the pill.”
"These are all trivial matters. The sect's alchemy hall is made of underground fire drawn by a fire dragon vein. If it is really not suitable for you to refine the Nirvana Spirit Wandering Pill, you can build an alchemy room anywhere in Juntian Pavilion. I will arrange people to assist you. I only look at the results, not the process."
Pei Tianlan waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'll have someone take him to the Dan Palace to have a look, and report back to me immediately if it's suitable."
With this assurance, Shen Lian said solemnly, "With the full support of Fellow Daoist Pei, I will do my best to refine this pill."
…
Under the prerequisite of choosing a suitable place for alchemy, the furnace fire in the alchemy hall of Juntian Pavilion was naturally not chosen with a 100% probability.
There is no fairness, it's all shady.
It took more than a month, and accompanied by two disciples arranged by Pei Tianlan, Shen Lian found an area emitting deathly aura in a valley 300,000 miles east of Juntian City.
After selecting the area, the energy of Pei Tianlan, one of the two great seeds of Hedao in Juntian Pavilion, burst out again.
More than a dozen formation masters and monks from the sect's General Affairs Hall came over and led a group of people to start large-scale demolition and reconstruction in the valley, drawing out the dead air from deep within the earth. They also moved in a sixth-level fire dragon spirit vein, set up formations to nourish the spirit vein, and invested a lot of spirit stones.
A year and a half later, when Shen Lian came there again, a brand new high-level cave garden had been built, and a sign of Juntian Pavilion Alchemy Hall was hung outside.
"Friend Ji, please take a look at what needs improvement."
Xu Zhijin has been transferred from the main hall of the Dan Palace and became the deacon of the Dan Mansion of this branch palace. He specifically helps Shen Lian and enjoys doing this, which has attracted the envy of many other disciples.
When Shen Lian entered the cave, he did not check the spiritual restrictions of the formation, but squatted directly at the position of the fire dragon. His spiritual thoughts began to contact the fire dragon. The death energy that permeated deep into the earth was grabbed through the formation and surged along with the fire dragon.
Seeing Shen Lian enveloped by the underground fire, Xu Zhijin, who had wanted to wait for Shen Lian's answer, retreated very attentively and opened the spiritual ban of the cave to ensure that Shen Lian would not be disturbed by external things.
Over the past year, he has supervised the construction here throughout the entire process and knows the importance of this place to Senior Brother Pei. If the elixir that Senior Brother Pei needs can be refined, then Master Ji, the new guest alchemist, will have a backer in Juntian Pavilion.
As a person who is busy running around, he can be considered a minion under Senior Brother Pei.
He is one of the people who most hopes to succeed in refining the elixir.
Inside the cave, Shen Lian was enveloped by underground fire.
This cave residence had to be built naturally. He didn't want to stay directly in the Dan Palace of Juntian Pavilion. With this Dan Palace belonging to the Dan Palace branch, he would have a place to live in the future.
If anyone has any ideas, go find Pei Tianlan, he is his mouthpiece.
In the blink of an eye, seven months passed.
Outside the cave, Xu Zhijin wandered back and forth, constantly looking up at the cave that was sealed by spiritual restrictions.
At this moment, the spiritual barrier of the cave was already covered with wisps of deathly flames. These flames changed from red to gray-black. As soon as he approached, he could feel his magic power rapidly fading.
No wonder it is necessary to choose a specific area to build the alchemy room. If it is built in the alchemy hall, it will affect other underground fires and may even cause other alchemists to explode.
Master Ji Dan started the furnace five months ago, but there has been no movement until now. He didn't dare to peek and could only wait outside.
After wandering for half a day, Xu Zhijin sat down again. This was his normal state for the past month.
…
Inside the cave, black air lingered on Shen Lian's face, and his aura seemed very weak. Although it was just a show, it was indeed difficult to make the Nirvana Spirit Pill. If he didn't make it difficult, he was afraid that other alchemists who were not afraid of death would come and ruin his plan.
As long as this pill is successfully refined, Master Ji's reputation as a man who can refine special kinds of elixirs will be further spread.
The reputation of Master Ji Dan of Juntian Pavilion will become more stable and secure.
Half a day later.
There was a loud bang in the alchemy furnace surrounded by earth fire, and the broken furnace pieces flew all over the sky, and the furnace cover hit the spiritual restriction of the formation heavily.
Two elixirs surrounded by deathly aura flew out from the alchemy furnace. Shen Lian broke through the flames and grabbed one of the pills with his big hand. One of the pills sank into his sleeve bag like flowing water.
Then he reacted and took the pill out of his sleeve.
I'm used to it.
You don’t need to do this with the elixir you give yourself.
"Master Ji Dan."
Xu Zhijin, who heard the roar outside, screamed in surprise. As soon as he got close to the spiritual forbidden area, the spiritual barrier was opened, and the billowing burning fire and death energy turned into a hideous evil shadow and rushed out.
Then, Shen Lian, with disheveled hair and a face full of death, rushed out, grabbed two elixirs in both hands and stuffed them into Xu Zhijin's hands.
"Go tell Fellow Daoist Pei that the elixir is ready. I'm going to...seclude myself for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lian staggered towards the cave at the side.
"Ji..."
Xu Zhijin's face turned red due to the impact of the deathly aura and the burning heat. He finally used his magic power to calm his breath. He found that Master Ji Dan had already rushed into the cave. He looked at the elixir in his hand and quickly flew away.
…
"call!"
Inside the cave, Shen Lian continuously forced out black air, and his entire body was like a smoking chimney, which lasted for nearly half a day.
Every time a cave was filled with deathly energy, he would move to a new cave.
In addition to the alchemy room, this alchemy mansion also has seven caves for cultivation, all of which were filled with deathly energy. In the end, he flew directly to the top of the nearby mountain, continuing to spit out black energy that blew in the wind, and he ignored the cultivators coming and going.
If he wasn't a little more tragic, what would the other alchemists think? Would they think that they could do it too? The more tragic it was now, the closer he would be to Pei Tianlan in the future.
With such a bold move, his reputation spread quickly and attracted the attention of many alchemists in the Alchemy Palace.
"I'm really lucky. I was able to refine a spiritual pill that could harm myself. It's a pity that I was also filled with death energy. It will be difficult to recover. Fortunately, I didn't force myself."
"The Ji family is lucky this time, thanks to the support of Fellow Daoist Pei."
"Fellow Daoist Ji is ruthless enough. He knows that I have just entered the sect, so he is desperately trying to find a backer for himself. From now on, anyone who wants to exploit Fellow Daoist Ji will have to consider Fellow Daoist Pei."
"If I refine it, I can do it too."
…
With the experience of refining the Nirvana Spirit Pill for Pei Tianlan, Shen Lian has managed to gain a foothold in the Dan Mansion outside. The next step is to heal his wounds and expel the dead energy that has invaded his body.
In this way, five years passed peacefully.
During this period, he also refined the Dragon Ginseng Hundred Refining Pills needed for physical cultivation.
Everything is ready, all that’s left is to find a place to break through.
"Finally left."
In the cave, Shen Lian slowly woke up.
Zhou Changqing, who had been self-awakening in Juntian Pavilion for nearly ten years, woke up, and his aura rose to the Nascent Soul level. In short, he gave people the feeling that he was extraordinary at first glance.
What's so special about it? It's very mysterious anyway.
Don’t ask, because asking means you lack vision.
Yin Yihan, who learned the news first, had no intention of staying and prepared to take Zhou Changqing back to Haotian Realm.
Before leaving, Pei Tianlan also helped Yin Yihan devise a trick to deceive the disciples, so that the monks in the sect could create the illusion that Yin Yihan and Zhou Changqing were still in seclusion on the island in the middle of the lake.
After all, the cultivators in Lingmu Immortal Palace have frequent contact with many disciples of the sect. Who knows whether these people will spread the news.
And according to the previous agreement, Huang Youdao and others will have to stay in Juntian Pavilion until Yin Yihan returns to Lingmu Immortal Palace.
In addition, Yin Yihan had already greeted the elders of Lingmu Fairy Palace in Juntian Realm, and arranged positions as fairy palace envoys in several remote areas for Huang Youdao and the other two. After Yin Yihan brought Zhou Changqing back to Haotian Realm, the three of them would be able to take up their posts.
With the position of Fairy Palace messenger, if they want to escape, they have to consider their relatives. Of course, this is Yin Yihan’s own idea.
The departure of "Zhou Changqing" also means that Shen Lian can go to the breakthrough place he arranged.
Pei Tianlan looked through some records in Juntian Pavilion and found several places where original spiritual objects might exist, and finally selected three.
Jiwei Mountain, the land of Yuan River, and the abandoned Ling mine.
The first two places are both on the edge of Shangjuntian Realm. They were once very prosperous, but have been gradually declining over the years. The strongest sect there is only at the middle stage of the Refined Void Realm.
These two places are also recorded in Wanxiang Mountain. The reason why it is said that there may be original spiritual objects is that strange phenomena have appeared in these places more than once, but there has never been any news of the discovery of original spiritual objects.
Of course, it is possible that it was taken away secretly.
Shen Lian planned to visit both places. The original spiritual object was secondary. The main thing was safety so that he could escape smoothly after the fusion phenomenon broke out.
The Abandoned Spirit Mine is the final preparation. If the previous two places are not suitable, we can only choose this abandoned place in the void star sea.
This mine has been abandoned for millions of years. The area is extremely vast, filled with thick dust, and the spiritual energy is exhausted. Few monks go there.
The environment is harsh and there are no original spiritual objects, but it is sparsely populated and located in the void starry sea, which can isolate it from the prying eyes of most cultivators.
This day.
A stream of light fell from the high-altitude Juntian Pavilion and transformed into the figure of Pei Tianlan.
"Have you recovered, Fellow Daoist Ji?"
The faint voice echoed above the cave in the other courtyard, attracting the attention of some deacons who were busy here, and they all bowed in greeting.
Hearing the sound, Shen Lian walked out of the cave, with a faint trace of deathly aura lingering on his cheek.
"I have recovered almost completely. Do you want to make an elixir, Brother Pei?"
"Come with me."
Pei Tianlan did not respond and disappeared into the distance.
Shen Lian glanced at Xu Zhijin.
"Senior Brother Pei must have something important to do. Elder Ji can just go with him. I, Xu, will take care of the Dan Mansion."
"Thank you for your help."
Shen Lian nodded, turned into a stream of light and followed.
Watching Shen Lian leave, Xu Zhijin showed a hint of envy in his eyes, and then he started to get busy.
…
After leaving Dan Mansion, Pei Tianlan was in front and Shen Lian was behind, and the two flew all the way out of Juntian City.
There is naturally no need for Juntian Pavilion to tell ordinary disciples what their Hedao Seed wants to do. As cultivators who hope to achieve Hedao, everything they do naturally has its reasons.
You understand, you rubbish monk.
As a young alchemist under the wing of Pei Tianlan, Shen Lian was in a good mood. As a true disciple of Juntian Pavilion and a recognized seed of the sect, wasn't it normal for him to be a little arrogant? What did Ji Wuxian have to do with it?
This trip is to find a place for retreat and breakthrough, and when I look back, I will be in the late stage of refining emptiness.
By then, when he has mastered all the rules, he will not be afraid even if he meets Yin Yihan, who has a combat power of 10,000 again.
Wuhu…takes off.
…
The eighth year after Shen Lian left Juntian City.
Heiya, Huang Youdao and the other two left Juntian Pavilion and returned to Lingmu Valley.
As the deacon of Lingmu Fairy Palace in Huaishui Land, Heiya was in an awkward position because the new envoy had replaced the envoy of the Fairy Palace in Huaishui Land after its death.
Let's go back to Huaishui. The boss has changed. Staying in Lingmu Valley of Juntian City will make you incompatible with them.
More importantly, he wanted to escape from this bottomless whirlpool and let Lu Gou play by himself. Mr. Shu would not serve him anymore.
Not long after, Heiya accepted an escort mission back to the Huai River area.
Several years later, the treasure ship escorting the spiritual wood encountered a space storm in the void star sea, and three cultivators in the early stage of refining emptiness, including Heiya, disappeared in the space storm, and no one saw their bodies, either alive or dead.
…
Ten years later.
The land of Lanshan, Qi Yang Sect.
The sect is not big, and there are only three Void Refining cultivators in total, and the strongest one is only in the middle stage of Void Refining.
On this day, the leader of the Qi Yang Sect suddenly woke up from his practice. His eyes glowed with green tree bud-like light, which reflected on the spiritual restrictions around the cave, making the cave look lush and green.
"You don't allow me to stay in the Immortal Palace, but I insist on going there. I'll play a trick on you again."
"This time, I will just act like a grandson and focus on climbing up the ladder."
…
"In the secular world, it is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge even after ten years. I am an old tree with a long life span, so it is never too late for me to take revenge even after a hundred thousand years. Even if I don't go to the Five Elements Palace, I have to fight for this. When your energy and blood are exhausted, I will ride on your face and slap you in the face."
"The Hundred Thousand Years Revenge Plan Begins Now!"
"quack..."
A strange cry was heard in the cave shrouded in spiritual prohibition.
Amid the strange cry, Heiya's spiritual consciousness sank into the storage ring. He grabbed a handful of spiritual herbs, quickly formed a small grass man in his palm, and pressed it in front of himself.
"I stab you!"
"I za za za!"
"Great... I'll stab you for a hundred thousand years first, haha..."
