Cultivation of Immortality

There are 67 deserts in Nanjingzhou, and the Jinyuan Desert is considered a relatively small one. If the monks in the early stage of forming the pill travel day and night, they can cross it in more than a month.

In the last few days of the trip, they didn't meet a single monk. The spiritual energy here was already very thin, and the hot air made them feel uncomfortable. When they flew into the desert, the three of them became excited. They were all first Seeing the desert for the first time, looking at the vast sea of ​​​​sand, everyone was shocked.

Xiyang used his spiritual power to roll up a shaft several feet long. Gongsun Chong found it interesting and also rolled up a shaft. The two shafts circled and fought, and finally collided violently. The two were having fun, but they saw something in the distance. Xunyi pushed up a sand wall tens of feet high and hit them, frightening the two of them and escaping in a hurry. He said, "I, the yellow sand monster, will take you two boys in today!" That look was quite powerful.

Although Xiyang and Gongsun Chong tried their best to activate the protective divine light, they were still blown around and in a state of confusion. Xunyi laughed and walked through them over and over again with the long sand barrier. When he finally had enough fun, Gongsun Chong panted and said to Xiyang, "Among the three of us, we must not let him have the highest cultivation level."

Xiyang nodded with the same feeling and said, "As long as he doesn't have those heaven-defying pills, he won't be crazy for long."

At this time, Xunyi, who was whizzing away with sand barriers all over the sky, whizzed back, pointing at the two of them with disdain and complaining, "Hurry up and practice hard. It's really cold up there, and I can't even have fun playing."

Xiyang and Gongsun Chong looked at each other and flew towards the oasis in silence.

This oasis close to the center of the desert has a radius of less than fifty miles, and a clear lake nourishes the life here.

When approaching the oasis, Xunyi asked the two Xiyang people to stay and flew over alone.

After hovering in the sky for several weeks, he landed next to a dead tree. The tree was less than ten feet tall. It was a relatively rare twilight locust tree. It seemed that it had just died not long ago. What was strange was that the tree closest to this tree was The plant is more than a hundred feet tall, and there is not even a blade of grass nearby.

.

Xunyi once again used his spiritual consciousness to search around carefully, then faced the southwest and said, "Little girl, come out, we are here to keep the appointment."

After a moment, Jiang Xiao flew over, looked at him with a wary expression, and saluted, "Junior has met senior. I wonder what the senior said when he came to the appointment?"

Xunyi looked at her sideways and said, "The two boys you made an appointment with are my nephews. I was afraid that they would be deceived, so I came here to have a look on their behalf. Your name is Jiangxiao, right?"

"Yes." Jiangxiao replied respectfully, but began to complain in her heart.

"Tell me what's going on in your secret realm." Xunyi looked old-fashioned.

Jiangxiao glanced at him, lowered his head and said, "You need a pure heart jade to open the secret realm. Only the little girl knows how to open and leave it. It is said that there may be treasures in it. It is hard to say whether there are treasures in it. Because the two sage nephews of my predecessors It is a life-saving grace for my little girl, so I invite them to come here together. If they get anything, they will each get a share. This is an agreement. If they come with the seniors, I will take them in. If they don't come, please Senior, please return the Scarlet Heart Jade to my daughter. After I obtain the treasure, I will definitely hand over their share to you, and I will never dare to deceive you."

"It's not my fault to say that." Xunyi raised his eyebrows.

Jiangxiao bit her lips and said, "You are joking. How could senior grab something from us juniors?"

At this time, Gongsun and Chong rushed over and heard their conversation behind them.

Xiyang felt a little guilty towards Jiangxiao, so he said from afar, "Fairy, don't pay attention to him, just follow the agreement."

When Jiangxiao saw the two of them, she felt a little more at ease. Xiyang's tone showed no respect at all for this person who didn't know whether he was a master or an uncle, which made her secretly suspicious.

Xunyi originally wanted to find out more about the other party, but he didn't want these two people to come over without waiting for him to greet him, so he had to give up. He would not bully a woman, so he said, "You have good eyesight. Since you can see that I am a clean and virtuous man, Man, I won’t tease you anymore, just do whatever you agreed with me and my two apprentice nephews.”

Gongsun Chong, who came closer, glared at Xunyi angrily and said to Jiangxiao, "This is our brother Xunyi. Fairy, don't be offended. He is always up to no good. When we met that day, Xi and I Fellow Daoist Yang is trying his best to find him, so Fellow Daoist Xiyang doesn’t want to cause more trouble. I hope the fairy will understand.”

After Jiangxiao greeted the three people, he apologized and said, "Due to the situation, I almost killed two fellow Taoists that day. Jiangxiao apologizes."

Gongsun Chong smiled and said, "I hope my brother's life is not in vain. I hope there really is an immortal treasure in the secret realm."

Jiangxiao said nothing and glanced at Xunyi.

When Xunyi saw her looking at him, he pointed at the dead locust tree and asked, "What's going on?"

Jiangxiao replied, "This tree has become a spirit and wants to plot against me, so I killed him."

Xunyi said "Oh" softly, guessing that she probably killed the tree spirit to silence her.

Although Gongsun Chong was eager to get the treasure with him, he still maintained his cautious nature. After leading everyone to sit down on a piece of grass, he asked Jiangxiao seriously about the secret realm.

Jiangxiao saw that none of these three people were easy to fool, so she simply told the truth. It turned out that her ancestors were not from Nanjingzhou, but from the Nanhai cultivator. They controlled a very vast sea area and were the most powerful people in the Nanhai. Thousands of years ago, when the ancestor of the Jiang family passed away, several Xiu clans who coveted the Jiang family's treasures joined forces to launch an attack. After a great war, all the Jiang family members were slaughtered. The Jiangxiao branch was the direct descendant of the Jiang family. His ancestors fled to Nanjingzhou with their treasures. Considering that it was difficult to protect the treasures due to their own cultivation, they hid the treasures in this secret place.

, hoping that future generations will be able to produce talented people, and use the treasures here to fight back to the South China Sea and avenge the family. As for the theory that it takes a specific period of time to open the secret realm, it was a lie she made up. As long as a person of Jiang family blood holds the Red Heart Jade, they can enter at any time. The reason why she agreed to five years later was to allow herself some time to heal. time.

After hearing these words, none of the three people answered immediately. Xiyang looked at the two of them, and then said to Jiangxiao, "We thought that this secret realm was an ownerless land, so we came here. Since it is your home, The place where the treasure is hidden, then we shouldn’t go in, let’s let the previous agreement to share the treasure go.”

Gongsun Chong looked a little ugly and said to Xun Yi, "This is just her one-sided statement. You already know a little bit about this woman's intentions. I think you should go in and take a look."

Seeing that Xunyi was silent, he wanted to send his spiritual thoughts to Xiyang again. Jiangxiao was at the same level as him. Although he didn't know what he was talking about, he could feel that he was transmitting his spiritual thoughts, so he said, "Gongsun If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly.”

Gongsun Chong didn't feel embarrassed. He smiled and said to Xiyang, "We almost lost our lives when we went there first, and then came all the way here. If this is really the place where the fairy family hides their treasures, then... we don't care about the treasures, but we just go in It’s okay to take a look, even if it’s a long experience.”

Jiangxiao looked at Xiyang and said, "My dear friends from the West Road are so heroic and courageous. I am very grateful." After saying that, he turned to Gongsun Chong and said, "You two have saved my life. Sharing the treasure is my promise, even if this is where my family hides the treasure. It's natural for you two to take it. You might as well tell me frankly that family feuds have been happening for thousands of years. After several generations, I can no longer feel much hatred in my heart. Now I am the only one left in the direct line of the Jiang family. "As a female cultivator, having children means destroying one's own path. I don't want to do that, so there is no need to keep this treasure."

Gongsun Chong agreed, "Whoever steps into the path of cultivation is willing to stop. It is normal for fairies to do this."

Xunyi glanced at Gongsun Chong disapprovingly.
