Kunlun Grotto-Heaven.
The aura shone, and Master Fate Dao fell to the ground.
Looking up, I saw the sacred tree reaching the sky and the little Daoist boy dozing under the tree, which corroborated with the secular legends.
"This is Jianmu Tree? Legend has it that if you climb up Jianmu Tree, you can enter the world of immortals!"
Just as the Daoist priest was about to step forward to speak, dozens of spiritual lights flashed again, and Straw-Coat Wanderer and others entered the cave one after another.
"Leader, are you coming in too?"
"The immortals did not forbid it."
Straw-Coat Wanderer looked at Kunlun Grotto-Heaven, white mist was billowing all around, and he felt the mysterious breath entering the meridians and organs while breathing, and the qi and blood became slightly stronger.
"It is indeed a fairyland. You can become stronger even if you breathe!"
Spirit Ginseng Child heard the discussion, slowly opened his eyes, yawned and said.
"You came at the wrong time. Venerable Immortal is in retreat. You can practice nearby and go to Imperial Library to study the classics. If you have any questions, please come and ask Pindao."
Straw-Coat Wanderer bowed and said, "I don't know how to call this Venerable Immortal?"
"I'm a poor spiritual ginseng, but I can't bear the word Venerable Immortal."
When Spirit Ginseng Child heard Venerable Immortal, his eyes were visibly happy. "You, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, seem to be quite lucky, and you can achieve great things in the future!"
"Thank you Venerable Immortal for the compliment, junior Ye Yun."
Ye Yun, who has come from being a fisherman to where he is now, already knows how to observe people's emotions, and said respectfully, "I would also like to ask the spiritual ginseng Venerable Immortal, how long does it take for an immortal to retreat?"
"You guys probably can't wait any longer."
Spirit Ginseng Child said, "Venerable Immortal retreat can take anywhere from tens to hundreds of years to hundreds to thousands of years."
Everyone looked disappointed when they heard this, but then they thought about it, it was a great opportunity to enter Kunlun.
Red Alliance With this destiny, he will definitely achieve great things in the future!
"You can practice at Kunlun Mountain for one year. You can stay in the left and right wings of the Daoist temple. Don't make any noise. As for eating, you need to cook it yourself."
Spirit Ginseng Child took out pots and pans and more than a dozen bags of rice, noodles, meat and vegetables from his sleeves.
"After you finish eating, you can find a way to replenish your food. There is no need to save. You could have eaten spiritual rice. However, due to some unlucky guy, you can only eat ordinary food."
"Thank you Venerable Immortal!"
Everyone bowed and saluted, gathered together to discuss for a while, those who were not interested in martial arts were responsible for reciting the classics, while people such as Ye Yun, Bai Shiyu and others practiced martial arts intensively day and night.
A year of hard training is fleeting.
Spirit Ginseng Child has never seen so many people, and without the restraint of Zhou Yi, his temperament has jumped a lot.
This day.
Everyone finished their martial arts practice near Jianmu Tree and sat cross-legged around Spirit Ginseng Child, listening to it tell interesting stories from ancient times.
Cultivation World was originally separated from the mortal world, and it has been destroyed for more than 900 years. After dozens of generations of mortals, it is already an ancient anecdote in the eyes of ordinary people.
What Spirit Ginseng Child said was half-truth and half-false, describing Kunlun as the ancestral line of the Nine Continents, and adding a lot of content from the storybook, which sounded really unimaginative and mysterious.
Among them were five Red Alliance members, holding pen and ink scrolls, recording every sentence.
Red Alliance will come true in the future, this is the heritage!
Spirit Ginseng Child boasted. "Although Dan Ding Sect is not as good as Kunlun, it is still a great sect for thousands of years. When you step into the sect, you must go through the trial of the illusion. In the illusion, you can taste all kinds of temptations. Once you fall into it, you will lose it Immortal Opportunity..."
"Venerable Immortal, this junior seems to have heard this before."
Bai Shiyu scratched his head and said, "I was reading a storybook a few years ago, and there was a volume called "The Tale of Three Heroes", and it was written like this."
"That's natural. Do you know the author of this book?"
Spirit Ginseng Child always feels comfortable every time he hears the words Venerable Immortal. He explains with a smile, "Pure Serenity True Monarch is not a mortal, he is a true Daoist monk. His nature is indifferent, but he prefers ordinary books. This book was written by him himself."
Ye Yun asked, "Venerable Immortal, so there really is such a trial formation in the world?"
"That's natural."
Spirit Ginseng Child said, "Imperial Library Daoist Canon has recorded no less than a hundred kinds of mind-refining techniques, and a poor Daoist can perform them at will."
Ye Yun was silent for a while, then bowed and said, "Junior, please ask Venerable Immortal to cast a spell to refine your heart!"
"The method of refining the heart is extraordinary. It goes to the depths of Spirit Soul. Its effectiveness is affected by the strength of the soul. It is a hundred times more difficult for mortals than monks."
Spirit Ginseng Child said quietly, "In those days, many talented Rogue Cultivator had a rock-solid heart for seeking the truth, but ended up falling on the road to tempering their hearts. If you cannot pass, even though there will be no real harm, you will still..."
"This junior was born into a family of fishermen, and originally wanted justice for the people."
Ye Yun said loudly, "Now that I have obtained the Kunlun Immortal Book, I only hope that the world will be unified. The hardships here are comparable to changing the world. If you cannot survive the heart training, you will voluntarily step down as the leader of the alliance!"
"Alliance leader!"
"Brother Ye!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Red Alliance was founded by Ye Yun, which is comparable to the core of the founding ancestor.
"Don't try to persuade me again."
Ye Yun said, "Please ask the immortal to cast a spell!"
"Have ambition! Only one mortal in a billion can survive the Heart Refining Formation. I can give you a chance!"
Spirit Ginseng Child clapped his hands in admiration, took out the array disk from his sleeves, arranged it around Ye Yun, and activated Formation Restriction with the hand kneading technique.
In the formation.
Ye Yun's vision went dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already at the sea, and his father's urging could be heard in his ears.
"Yunwazi, the sea Dragon King is coming, hurry back to the shore."
"Yeah."
Ye Yun agreed, but felt that he had forgotten something and couldn't remember it.
outside world.
Everyone saw Ye Yun sitting cross-legged in the spiritual light, his expression constantly changing.
Doubt, fear, regret, frustration, elation, even greed...
About an hour later.
The aura of the formation gradually dimmed, Ye Yun slowly opened his eyes, various memories emerged, and joy appeared on his face.
"Thank you Venerable Immortal for your advice."
The Heart Refining Formation is like an illusion, confusing the mind, and has gone through all kinds of hardships, including many of the difficulties and temptations that Red Alliance faced after becoming stronger. Now that he thinks about it, he has many more plans.
"You actually passed!"
Spirit Ginseng Child looked surprised. It really didn't think that mortals could survive the Heart Refining process, and vomited at Ye Yun.
The green energy merged into Ye Yun's body, glowing with vitality, and all hidden injuries and illnesses were healed.
Ye Yun felt unprecedentedly relaxed and relaxed, as if he was more than ten years younger. Driven by vitality, Qi and blood gathered Dantian and suddenly condensed into acupoints.
This is not the end yet, the vitality flows through the limbs and bones, and then it is exhausted after condensing six acupoints.
"Thank you Venerable Immortal!"
Spirit Ginseng Child nodded and said, "Don't let this Immortal Opportunity down in the future."
Bai Shiyu came over and said, "Venerable Immortal, can I try practicing mind training?"
Spirit Ginseng Child said, "If others don't know, you won't be able to survive."
Bai Shiyu still didn't want to believe it, but despite his shameless efforts, he finally stepped into the heart-refining formation, only to wake up half an hour later with a scream.
Ye Yun asked curiously, "What has Shiyu experienced?"
Bai Shiyu's face turned red, he was hesitating and couldn't describe clearly, he only said that he failed in his efforts.
Spirit Ginseng Child chuckled and said, "This guy has too many confidants, and he has committed a misfortune. One day, the boat will capsize and he will fall into the water!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, they were quite envious of Bai Shiyu, and they tried to persuade him to take warning.
The woman in red raised her eyebrows. She held down the hilt of the sword and glanced at Bai Shiyu's waist. She gasped a few times and finally suppressed her anger. She bowed and said, "Venerable Immortal, this junior should also try this heart-training technique!"
Bai Shiyu turned green when he heard this. He wanted to stop it but couldn't tell the reason.
Spirit Ginseng Child looked strange, but it saw the woman in the illusion angrily slashing three, four, five, six and seven, which directly scared Bai Shiyu out of the heart-refining formation.
It's really interesting to pry into people's secrets!
"Okay, come one by one, anyone can refine their mind."
The woman in red sat cross-legged in the middle of the formation, her brows furrowed. After a moment, she became angry and disappointed that after experiencing all kinds of illusions, she was able to survive it safely.
"Interesting, interesting!"
Spirit Ginseng Child can be a boy or a girl. The little Daoist boy is just a magician of change, so he has never had any thoughts about love. Seeing the different choices made by Bai Shiyu and the woman in red, I vaguely understood.
The cultivation of grass, trees, spirits and monsters must go through the world of mortals before they can realize the Tao.
The love between the poor scholar and the spirit in the storybook is not groundless. Of course, there are also convenient ways, such as swallowing the living soul.
"Thank you Venerable Immortal."
The woman in red felt the vitality surging within her body, and her energy and blood condensed into several acupoints. What was even more gratifying was that her skin was like jade, her bright eyes and white teeth became more radiant, and she was even more confident to defeat those little goblins!
Afterwards, everyone in the Red Alliance took turns to train their hearts, but most of them failed. It was not because they couldn't bear the torture and pain, but because they indulged in the temptation of success.
Spirit Ginseng Child was not stingy either, and the five who passed were all impressed.
The blind man only felt his eyes stinging like needles, and shed two lines of blood and tears, as if there were insects crawling in his eyes. Even after going through the heart training, he couldn't help but scream.
The fact that the spirit does not succumb to torture does not mean that the body cannot feel the pain!
After a long time.
The blind man felt the news of pain and collapsed on the ground. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the blue sky and white clouds. After rubbing it several times to make sure it was not an illusion, he quickly got up and knelt down.
"Thank you Immortal Master!"
"It's just a trivial matter."
Spirit Ginseng Child does not treat them differently. The ten thousand years of ginseng energy in its body is just the same as those of living and dead human flesh and white bones.
One year later.
Yu Jian Tavern.
Zhou Yi was fiddling with the abacus and calculating how many gold coins he earned today.
Just three years have passed, and it is obvious that the old wealthy people are becoming more and more stingy, and they are no longer as lavish and extravagant as when they first met.
Among them, the one that has changed the most is Lu Family. Last year, Lu Bo died unexpectedly. Several families in the clan fought fiercely with each other, and eventually the millennium Aristocratic Clan fell apart.
The big house is still an old man, living on the shadow of his ancestors. The second and third houses are invested in the new Aristocratic Clan, and then they are completely scattered, taking the gold and silver ancestral property to spread all over the Zhou Dynasty.
"This approach is most likely the result of internal discussion within the Lu Family. How can the inheritance be preserved if the clan members are scattered all over the sky!"
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly. Aristocratic Clan has gone through many ups and downs in the millennium. From the last era to the present, there have been many means of coping with dynasty changes.
Looking at the emerging Aristocratic Clan now, we are proud of it, just like the founders of Daqian and Daqing, etc. If we look at it hundreds or thousands of years later, it is still Aristocratic Clan whose blood is still passed down.
Yang Li swept the floor clean, arranged the tables and chairs neatly, bowed and saluted.
"Shopkeeper, I'm leaving first."
"Take a break."
Zhou Yi pinched the magic formula with his hand and said with a smile, "Today your luck has sprouted, and you may have a big opportunity."
Yang Li knew that shopkeeper Sun was a strange person and a benefactor of the Yang family. He supported his younger brothers and sisters by selling peanuts and fennel beans, so he stood aside obediently.
Zhou Yi asked, "How many years have you been selling newspapers? Do you know how to read?"
Yang Li nodded and said, "Most of them recognize it, but it's just not written well."
Zhou Yi said, "This is very good. No matter whether it is difficult or triumphant in the future, don't forget to learn."
"Remember the shopkeeper's instructions."
Yang Li bowed and agreed, feeling a little awkward hearing this, just like his father's last words.
At this time.
Bai Shiyu, the blind man and the cook came down from upstairs, and the three of them bowed and saluted.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, for your support!"
Zhou Yi waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Since we run a tavern, we have the obligation to protect the safety of our guests."
Bai Shiyu explained, "The leader wanted to thank you in person, but I stopped him and said that the shopkeeper doesn't like the secular world, so don't involve you."
"You still understand me!"
Zhou Yi took a deep look at Bai Shiyu and said, "I have gained some enlightenment recently and plan to practice in seclusion. It just so happens that you are back. From now on, I will let you take care of this tavern."
Bai Shiyu frowned and said, "Shopkeeper, if Red Alliance affects you, then we will move to another place to gather..."
"It's really a retreat!"
Zhou Yi said, "I met an old friend not long ago and I have to give him a ride. He won't be back soon."
"That would be disrespectful."
Bai Shiyu said with cupped hands, "I will take care of the tavern for the time being. When the shopkeeper comes back, I will return it to you immediately!"
"That's it."
Zhou Yi took out a moiré jade pendant from his arms, broke it into two halves, and said, "I will take this as a letter in the future. Pear Blossom White's formula is under the counter, as well as the customer's account book."
After saying that, without hesitation, a few leaps disappeared into the night.
"Shopkeeper Sun is truly a strange person!"
Bai Shiyu carefully put away the jade pendant, turned to look at Yang Li, and asked with a smile.
"Young friend Yang, are you interested in joining Red Alliance?"
A few months later.
East Sea Millions of miles deep.
Nameless small island.
Zhou Yi took out the dusty stone bead and has been studying it since he got it. He used Black Witchcraft Curse every night when he went back to the cave to practice.
"The color has faded slightly, but I still can't see the details inside!"
"This object is banned far more than Dragon Emperor Pearl. It's probably not another Demon Emperor, but maybe a certain Spirit Transformation old monster..."
After reading through ten thousand volumes Daoist Canon, Zhou Yi has a deep understanding of the self-proclaimed method. This method comes from ancient inheritance. Apart from the huge consumption, it has no flaws. It can be said to be the supreme method to avoid disasters!
For example, this blue-gray stone bead cannot be crushed or broken. Ancestor Spirit Transformation has no choice but to wait for the seal to dissipate on its own.
Ancestor Spirit Transformation is not like Zhou Yi, who has infinite lifespan to use Black Witchcraft Curse. Even if he keeps it by his side and waits for it, he will end his life after three to five thousand years.
When Cultivation World is still alive, you can store this object in the sect, and wait for the seal to be released and be killed by future generations.
In the Age of Ending Dharma, even the sect has been destroyed, so this is the only way to do it!
"Thinking about it, only Pindao is the nemesis of this method! These old ghosts are all shrewd and should be hidden in Jiuzhou, but they fall into Pindao's hands again and again. Is this retribution?"
Zhou Yi raised his head to look at the sky, shook his head slightly, arranged the arrangement Formation Restriction heavily, and placed the stone beads in the middle.
Thousands of miles apart.
Just like when he cursed to kill the Dragon King and continued to cast spells and curses, Ghost God Altar became more and more agile under the nourishment of endless longevity.
Jie Jie Jie Jie's strange screams are like ghosts and gods in the world.
Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the gray stone beads have turned into a translucent state, and the figures inside can be vaguely seen.
Zhou Yi Carefully identify the style of Daoist robes, and compare it with the records in Daoist Canon, and you can probably guess the self-proclaimed person.
"One Qi Sect, Heavenly Lord Yuanling!"
