Celestial being

Lu Shen nodded, but did not let Yuan Ming show off, and continued: "There are still three days before the disciples of our sect set out for training. If the two Taoists have no other arrangements, why not stay with me for a few days in the Resurrected Ye Sect? We will set off together then, what do you two think?"

Yuan Ming had nothing to do, so he didn't refuse, and the same was true for He Wendao.

The four of them left the room and walked downstairs. As soon as they came down the stairs, Yuan Ming was suddenly startled when he looked up.

I saw three foundation-building monks coming together at the door of the casual cultivator. They were wearing Changchun Guan clothes, their faces were full of arrogance, and they looked at the other monks with a hint of contempt in their eyes.

"People from Changchun Temple? What are they here for?" Lu Shen also saw these three people and couldn't help but frowned.

However, the three people in Changchun Temple did not notice Yuan Ming and others who came down from upstairs. They walked straight into the mission hall, looked around, and then one of them in the middle began to use his spiritual power and said loudly:

"I, Xu Changqing, a foundation-building monk from Changchun Temple, was killed in the wilderness near Xiaohu City. Anyone who can provide clues to the murderer or relevant information can receive a reward of one thousand spirit stones!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire mission hall began to boil.

Some people were confused and turned to look at their companions: "Have you ever heard of who Xu Changqing is?"

Some people looked shocked: "There are still people who dare to kill people in Changchun Temple? Are you tired of living?"

Some people whispered angrily: "Reward? Ha, Changchun Temple is so majestic. They ask us for information and look like they are giving alms!"

Among the crowd, Yuan Ming had no expression on his face. He looked at the three people in Changchun Temple intently, remembered their appearance in his heart, and then looked away.

"The people in Changchun Temple don't choose a good place to die. Is this an excuse? Don't let this fire burn on us... We have to return to the sect quickly." Lu Shen frowned, turned around and said hello, and then quickly Walking towards the outside of the retreat.

Yuan Ming and the others followed silently, and soon left the monastery, leaving the hustle and bustle behind them.

…

Three days later, Ye Zong was born.

Today is the first day of the annual sect Qi refining period. Early in the morning, all the disciples who signed up to participate gathered in the sect square.

Daily practice is boring and tedious. It is a rare opportunity to go out openly. Many young disciples became excited early, and their faces were even more impatient at this time.

The older ones all set their sights on the ranking of the training. Although the rewards are not as generous as those in the three-year sect competition, if you can show results in the training, you will not only get a lot of training resources, but also get a lot of training resources. Maybe you can enter the sect elders' Dharma eyes in advance and reach the sky in one step.

Of course, for those disciples who are the disciples of the elders, the ranking is not important. What really deserves attention are those who will become opponents in the sect competition in the future.

However, for Xu Tian, ​​the real headache is his junior sister.

"Xing'er, listen carefully. When you go out, you must follow me closely. Don't run around. Remember to discuss anything with me. Do you understand?" Xu Tian held Luo Xing'er's hand and kept telling her. road.

Today, his cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, while Luo Xing'er's cultivation is a little worse, only the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"Okay, okay, I understand. Senior brother, you are really long-winded." Luo Xing'er glanced at her mouth, her little face was filled with anger and some dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Xu Tian let out a long sigh and wanted to say something else, but at this moment Luo Xing'er grabbed his hand and shook it excitedly.

"Senior brother, look, look, it's Elder Lu! He is a great monk in the late stage of foundation establishment. I wonder when I will be able to achieve such a level of cultivation." Luo Xing'er said with envy.

"As long as we practice hard and work hard, we will get there sooner or later." Xu Tian said after hearing this.

"Oh, Master Yuan is so powerful, does he practice like this?" Luo Xing'er turned to look at him.

Xu Tian was a little speechless, but he still said bravely: "Naturally."

On the other side, Lu Shen stood on a temporary high platform, his stern eyes sweeping over the disciples in the audience. The square that was noisy just now soon became silent.

"It is not easy for you to stand out from the ordinary world and join the Wo Sheng Ye Sect. You have practiced hard in the sect for a long time, and now..." Facing many disciples, he began a long speech, starting from the difficulties of cultivation to the difficulties of life. It is wide, with extensive quotations, and the words are eloquent and eloquent.

Some of the older disciples in the audience were well prepared and used spiritual power to seal their hearing in advance. However, the young disciples who experienced this for the first time paid full attention from the beginning, but when they heard the details later, they complained in their hearts.

After more than half an hour, Lu Shen finally stopped talking and looked at the Qi Refining Stage disciples in the square with eyes full of expectations.

After glancing around, he summoned the giant green wood flying boat specially built by the sect and asked the disciples in the audience to board it one by one.

Seeing this, the disciples all let out a sigh of relief and boarded the Aoki Flying Boat without daring to stop at all, for fear that Lu Shen would say "I'll add a few more points" on a whim.

Soon, all the disciples boarded the Aoki Flying Boat one after another. Lu Shen also jumped on the bow of the flying boat. He inserted a few pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones into the magic circle on the deck. After activating the magic circle, the Aoki Flying Boat took off into the air. Get up and fly slowly towards the outside of the sect.

In a warehouse above the Qingmu flying boat, Yuan Ming, who was practicing cross-legged, also opened his eyes and secretly released soul crows to protect the flying boat in the sky.

…

Zhao State, Yunluo Mountains.

The rolling mountains tower over the earth, and the mountaintops pierce into the sky, as if they are about to pierce the sky. The misty clouds and mist are like water flowing in a river, clinging to the ridges, slowly drifting down, and finally dissipating among the dense forests.

Even in the mountainous Zhao Kingdom, this place is magnificent. Unfortunately, the spiritual veins here are messy and scattered. Although many strange beast elixirs can be brewed, it is not suitable for the sect to be stationed.

In the sky, the Aoki flying boat cut through the clouds and slowly landed in a forest clearing.

The disciples on the flying boat filed out and gathered in the open space. Lu Shen, who was in charge of driving the flying boat, also stood beside the boat and looked at the disciples.

"This is the place for this trial. In the next five days, you can search for elixirs here on your own, but you are not allowed to go more than fifty miles away from the flying boat. Otherwise, the trial results will be invalid. In addition, the trial results will be invalid." It will end at noon five days later. Those who fail to return after the time will be deemed invalid." Lu Shen glanced at the disciples and announced the rules of the trial.

Then, he waved his hand again, and immediately the disciples responsible for statistics and related chores came forward and distributed a jade slip to all the disciples in turn.

"If you encounter danger during the trial, you can crush the jade slip at any time. At that time, I and several other Taoist friends will rush to the rescue immediately. Although this will make you out early, but compared with your results, I still hope that you will Putting your own life first and leaving the green hills without worrying about running out of firewood, I believe I don’t need to say more." Lu Shen warned seriously.

All the disciples claimed yes, and then dispersed.

Lu Shen turned around and returned to the top of the flying boat. At this time, Yuan Ming and the other two people had also gathered together. Seeing Lu Shen come back, Bai Ye said.

"Elder Lu, I have sent the magic weapon that can know the location of the jade slip to two fellow Taoists."

"Okay, the next five days will be hard for you. Although the elders of our sect have checked this place in advance, in order to avoid accidents, please keep your spirits up. In addition, if you encounter any special circumstances and need support, You can also activate the magic weapon, so that others will also receive the message." Lu Shen nodded.

After that, the four of them left the airship with their flying magic weapons according to the areas that had been divided in advance.

After Yuan Ming left the flying boat, he found a deserted place, released the flower branches from the spirit beast bag, and ordered him to get into the ground to follow as usual. Then he piloted the flying shuttle again and patrolled the area he was responsible for.

…

Three days later.

In the dense forest, a wrinkled python about ten feet long was lingering on an ancient tree. Its brown skin fit perfectly with the branches, and no one could see anything unusual about it.

On the tops of the ancient trees, fist-sized fruits swayed in the wind. Many of them were green with orange, and looked like they were about to mature.

Next to the giant python, there are two fruits that have completely lost their green skin. The sunlight passes through the leaves and falls on the bright orange fruits, making them shine brightly.

Suddenly, not far away, a young man wearing a light green gown came out. He looked up and saw the tree full of fruits. He was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise.

But he was not impatient. Instead, he carefully circled the ancient tree twice, took out a small palm-sized bell magic weapon, and shook it with magic power.

The sound waves rippled and swept across the ancient tree. The giant python climbing on the branches was disturbed by it and moved slightly unhappily.

However, the monks under the tree mistook the python's movements for the shaking of branches and didn't take it seriously.

When he saw that there were no monsters entrenched nearby, his eyes became even more joyful. Then he took out a long sword weapon and controlled it to fly up to the treetops to chop down the fruit.

This time, the giant python was completely annoyed. It had been lazily just now. It raised its tail in an instant, and then swept the sword like a sharp blade, knocking it backwards with just one blow.

Seeing this, the disciple of the Shengye Sect under the tree turned pale, and immediately turned around and wanted to escape, but the giant python was not willing to let him go. As soon as the body of the snake was loosened from the branch, the snake's head flew across a distance of several feet and fell on the disciple of the Shengye Sect. before.

The giant python looked at the panicked Shengye Sect disciple, opened its huge mouth in its golden snake eyes, and bit him.

At the critical moment, the disciple of Shengye Sect took out the jade slip and cut it off at once. The giant python was close at hand, and the smelly fan in its mouth hit his face, and his mind suddenly went blank.

But at this moment, the giant python suddenly had a small hole in its head and died in mid-air.
