"Dragon Balls?"
Old Taoist was stunned for a moment when he heard that, and then quickly shook his head, "You, a junior, have a pretty good idea. Forget it, I'll find someone else to help me..."
Li Yan said hurriedly, "Senior, don't worry, I'm not asking for it in vain. I will exchange it with Spiritual Material of equivalent value to help you find medicine. This will be regarded as a reward for brokering this matter."
"Equivalent?"
Old Daoist Wang Jingxiu looked at Li Yan as if he were a fool, shook his head and said, "You want a dragon ball, do you know what it is?"
Li Yan replied, "It is the condensed beads of True Martial Dragon Cave."
To be honest, he only knew about this thing on Mount Wudang after listening to Giant Turtle Master.
The so-called dragon beads are Blessed Grotto-Heavens. The beads at the condensation point of the dragon veins and earth apertures create a "situation" by themselves.
Giant Turtle Master If you have this thing, put it in your mouth to practice, and then get the Han water Position of Water God, you will have the opportunity to transform into a dragon in the future, which is the foundation of enlightenment.
"It's good to know."
Wang Jingxiu stroked his beard and shook his head and said, "My Mount Wudang has Three Great Mysterious Realms, 'Thunder Fire Refining Hall', 'Purple Cloud Divine Lamp' and 'True Martial Dragon Cave', which deal with magic, magic and martial arts respectively."
"'Dragon Ball' is the foundation of 'True Martial Dragon Cave'. It takes five hundred years to condense one. It is of immeasurable value. Five Dragons Palace regards it as a forbidden object. What do you want this thing for? Is there any equivalent treasure that can be exchanged for it?"
"Entrusted by a friend..."
This kind of thing cannot be concealed, so Li Yan briefly explained the situation of Master Mao, and then said, "If Master Mao wins the position of Water God of Han Dynasty, he is willing to have good relations with Wudang in the future and obey the imperial edict."
"In addition, it also found a large Song Era basalt stone sculpture in Yunmeng Marsh, which was a national sacrifice to the four spirits at that time. Although it is a bit big, it is also Nation-Protecting Divine Artifact..."
Speaking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but feel emotional.
Although Giant Turtle Master is a spirit, he is also quite well-established. It can be regarded as the legacy left by Lord of the Clouds's sacrifice in ancient Chu, and he has hidden many good things.
The basalt stone sculpture is about two feet high. Although it is a bit big and cannot be carried around like the Blood Mohe and Profound Heaven Talisman found before, it can be placed in the spiritual orifice to avoid the detection of heaven and earth.
This kind of treasure is no less valuable than the Dragon Ball.
Plus those looking for Spiritual Material...
Giant Turtle Master is clearly planning for his future.
Become a water god, be protected by Wudang, and be included in the True Martial Palace Attendant system... If you can transform into a dragon, you might have a chance to become Great Emperor Zhenwu's subordinate.
Lord of the Clouds's belief has gone too long, and the new national sacrificial system has taken shape. From the looks of it, there won't be much change in the future.
This is completely about changing the door!
Dragon Ball is just one of them,
This is what they really want to do!
Sure enough, when they heard the basalt stone carvings, Nation-Protecting Divine Artifact, Wang Jingxiu's expressions also became serious, "My little friend is dishonest. This matter is of great importance. No one can make the decision, but I can hand it over to you after I go up the mountain tomorrow."
"Whether you can succeed or not depends entirely on chance."
Li Yan quickly handed over his hand, "Thank you, senior."
Wang Jingxiu shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. This matter is not that simple. If it doesn't work..."
Li Yan smiled and said, "Even if it fails, we will help senior find medicine. Senior will rest first and I will say goodbye."
After that, he bowed his hands again and left with Lu San.
But when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Senior, I have a suggestion for that thing on your table."
"Oh?"
Wang Jingxiu was happy, "This is my improved water and fire refining method. It is the only one of its kind in the world. Could you please tell me, do you have any suggestions?"
Of course he didn't believe what Li Yan said. After all, alchemy is a profound and profound thing, and if a young boy wants to give him guidance, it would be a joke.
He didn't get angry and scold him, which is because he has good self-control.
Li Yan smiled and said, "Although the juniors don't know much, they can still see that the seniors need to vaporize with fire and freeze when encountering ice. It's similar to making wine, but more complicated."
"If you use transparent glass to make a vessel, wouldn't it be clear at a glance what is going on inside?"
Wang Jingxiu After hearing this, his mind was buzzing and he quickly turned to look at the table and murmured, "Yes, why didn't I think of..."
When he came to his senses, Li Yan had left.
Old Taoist didn't care, and hurriedly took out a pen and paper, and while writing, he muttered, "The method of making colored glaze is not difficult, but the difficulty is that it is clear and transparent, and it needs to withstand the changes of water and fire..."
"No one on Mount Wudang knows this stuff... People from the Mo Sect want to invite me to the Qiankun Academy. There are many strange people there, maybe it can be done..."
As soon as the sky dawned, everyone set out.
In addition to the five members of the Li Yan team, there are also more than a dozen senior brothers from Gu Hanzi, as well as Wang Jingxiu Old Taoist.
Mount Wudang It is said that there are seventy-two peaks, thirty-six rocks, and twenty-four streams. Although it is not a towering place, it has been an important place of Daoism since ancient times.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the late Han Dynasty, there were Zhou doctor Yin Xi, alchemists Ma Mingsheng, Yin Changsheng and others practicing here. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, it became more and more prosperous, with many temples and temples.
Since Sanfeng Zhenren, it has become even more famous all over the world.
The way up the mountain mainly consists of four sacred roads: east, west, north and south.
Villages like Zhang Family Village are equivalent to Wudang outer disciples. There are at least two dozen of them, surrounding Mount Wudang, which is equivalent to the first layer of defense.
Li Yan and others got out of Zhang Family Village, and not long after, they got on to East Sacred Path. Passing through a mountain gate plaque given by the imperial court was equivalent to entering the Mount Wudang gate.
Because of the war in the southwest, many True Martial Palace masters joined the imperial court. In order to prevent sneak attacks by the Ghost Cult and Heavenly Saint Sect, additional defenses were deployed on the mountain, and it was forbidden to go up the mountain at night.
For these defenses, there were not only mountain patrol disciples, but also soldiers and horses patrolling the mountains and forests. In order to prevent accidents, bans were set up.
After all, Wang Jingxiu followed him. Once he entered the mountain gate, Wudang disciples from Xunshan appeared from time to time to pay their respects. They all carried Treasure Sword on their backs and jumped in the forest like dragons.
This place is far less difficult and dangerous than Mount Huashan. Along the Shinto Road, the forest is deep and dark, the morning mist drifts, and the mountains and streams flow. The scenery is very pleasant.
Occasionally, you will see macaques, leopards, wild deer, and white cranes passing through, hiding in the dense forest, and watching them curiously.
Such a grand scene, Li Yan couldn't care less about admiring it.
Because Wang Jingxiu Old Taoist has been causing nuisance.
"Pindao thought about it last night. The method you proposed is indeed good, but the burning of colored glaze is colorful and luxurious, just like jade, and it is also thin and brittle. Is there any way to solve it?"
"The color of the glass is difficult to fix. I guess there is something inside. As long as I find a way to remove it, I should be able to burn out the transparent glass..."
"I'm afraid I can't handle the fire and water..."
"I don't know this junior..."
Li Yan had no choice but to deal with it casually.
No wonder this Wang Jingxiu is highly respected in Mount Wudang, but he is unwilling to become a high-level person. He is a complete idiot.
Once you encounter a problem, you must ask for clarification.
Fortunately, seeing that nothing could be asked from his mouth, Wang Jingxiu finally calmed down, but when he walked, he seemed to be Soul Roaming out of nowhere.
Although the mountain road is rugged and winding, everyone is basically an expert. Even Wang Dao Xuan often climbs mountains and ridges and has good foot strength, so everyone's speed is really not slow.
Not long after, everyone saw another archway with three rooms, four pillars and five floors. On it were carvings of Fortune, Fortune, Shou, Xi and the Eight Immortals, with the four characters "Governing the World, Mysterious Peak" written on it.
The archway is very new and looks very grand.
Gu Hanzi introduced, "This archway was given by the late emperor. If you go seven or eight miles west, you can reach Jade Void Palace, which is where Sanfeng Zhenren practices."
Behind the archway, there is a large open space on the rocks facing the mountain, where incense is lingering, and many Daoist boys are practicing swordsmanship.
Before they even got close, many people turned to look over.
"Concentrate!"
The middle-aged Daoist priest sitting cross-legged on the stone immediately scolded him.
Li Yan knows that these are all entry-level disciples of the True Martial Palace, and most of them have awakened Divine Ability, so they can discover them early.
Everyone walked forward, and after two more sticks of incense, a majestic palace suddenly appeared in front of them.
This palace is laid out on a central axis, with red walls and high tiles, gold and green flowing around it, forming a tall palace wall with a majestic and solemn momentum.
The palace is full of ancient trees, with overlapping eaves and brackets visible.
Gu Hanzi introduced in a low voice, "This is Profound Heaven Jade Void Palace. There are more than 2,000 large and small temples. People from the bottom of the mountain basically come here to burn incense. If you go up, you are not allowed to enter at will."
Sure enough, at dawn, there were many common people and gentry coming and going at the door, in groups of three and five, bringing the old and supporting the young.
Everyone entered the main entrance and walked directly through the side passage instead of crowding with the pilgrims.
Along the way, we passed more than a dozen palaces, with more and more Daoists guarding the gates, and almost no ordinary pilgrims.
Li Yan remained calm and looked at it secretly.
Most of the Daoists here practice martial arts, but they don't look like Xuan Gate People. Twenty percent of them have Gangsha Energy on their bodies.
Not to mention Wang Jingxiu, even Gu Hanzi and those junior brothers were regarded as senior brothers and elders in the eyes of these Daoists, and they all bowed to each other.
This is also the true manifestation of Xuanmen.
Even if a big sect like Mount Wudang has the opportunity to practice, the number of Dao Progress Third Floor people is far less than imagined.
Of course, this is just Yamashita Jade Void Palace.
The real masters are still in the mountains.
Arriving at the main hall in the backyard, several Old Taoist immediately came out and all raised their hands to Wang Jingxiu, "I've seen Uncle Wang."
Li Yan was secretly speechless.
Wang Jingxiu is fine, but I didn't expect that Gu Hanzi's seniority is so high, and he and these Old Taoist are all brothers.
Wang Jingxiu had also come to his senses at this time. Fo Chen shook his head, nodded and said, "This time Pindao was ordered by the master to return to the mountain. This was all because of the war in the southwest, and many of the disciples were injured."
"You immediately summon the doctors from the sect, prepare medicinal materials and equipment, and follow Pindao to Yunyang in a few days."
After giving instructions, everyone continued climbing the mountain.
The road on the mountain is getting quieter and quieter. Some ancient stone steps, even built during the Qin and Han Dynasties, are hidden among the grass, and small animals often appear.
Wang Jingxiu said in a deep voice to Li Yan: "Let's go to the Five Dragons Palace now. Since you have obtained the Wudang Token, you must travel all over Three Profound Realms. You can stay at the Five Dragons Palace first, and finally go to the Purple Cloud Palace and the Golden Palace."
"Remember, don't say anything before you go. I'll go to the Purple Cloud Palace first and tell the master about it before making a decision."
Li Yan immediately understood, "Senior, don't worry, I'll be waiting for you."
Gu Hanzi also held up his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, I will escort Blood Jade Cong up the mountain. We will make arrangements for you later and also go to the Golden Palace."
"Everything is busy in Yunyang. After I finish my work today, I will go down the mountain and leave from the other side. We will meet again in Yunyang another day."
Li Yan also held up his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, be careful along the way."
Although Five Dragons Palace is not at the top of the mountain, it has to go around to the foot of Lingying Peak on the other side of Mount Wudang. Everyone quickened their pace and arrived at their destination after noon.
I saw a palace hidden among the mountains and forests, with red walls and green tiles contrasting with the green mountains and green waters, with smoke curling up and bells ringing melodiously.
Before I even got close, I heard Daoists chanting sutras and repenting.
Li Yan already inquired about it before coming here.
This Five Dragons Palace has more than 800 palaces and temples. Although it is not as good as Jade Void Palace, it is older and was practiced by the Zhenguan Era of the Tang Dynasty.
It is said that there was a severe drought that year, locusts were everywhere, and the people were miserable. Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered officials from all over the country to go to famous mountains and rivers to pray for rain.
Yao Jian, the governor of Junzhou, went to Mount Wudang according to the order, and met five Confucian scholars on Wulong Peak, who called themselves "Five Qi Dragon Lords". They said that Wudang was protected by Xuanwu God, and they respected Xuanwu's order to come to visit.
Subsequently, heavy rain poured down to relieve the drought, so Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered the construction of Five Dragons Shrine, which was gradually expanded to become Five Dragons Palace.
Five Dragons Palace has the Great Emperor Zhenwu temple, and there is a cave hidden underneath, which is the famous "True Martial Dragon Cave".
Looking closer, it turns out that Five Dragons Palace is obviously older. Although it has been repaired and the red wall outside the palace has been repainted, the densely packed Panlong stone foundation below is still mottled.
The Daoists in the Five Dragons Palace are obviously much more advanced, most of them are Xuan Gate People. On the uneven masonry square, there are still people practicing martial arts.
After arriving here, Li Yan and others became honest.
Inside this Five Dragons Palace, dragon-shaped carvings can be seen everywhere, clearly forming a large array, which Divine Ability cannot detect.
Of course, what's more important is that there is a disciple of Sanfeng Zhenren sitting here. Who knows how advanced this person is.
"Uncle Wang, Junior Brother Gu."
As soon as he entered the main hall of the mountain gate, a Daoist man came quickly. He was tall, fair-skinned, with a long black beard hanging down his chest, and he had an extraordinary bearing.
What's more important is that his eyes are golden yellow.
"I've met senior brother Gu Linzi."
Gu Hanzi quickly handed over and introduced Li Yan.
Gu Linzi smiled and said, "I have also heard about that matter. I never thought that Donor Li could do such meritorious deeds at such a young age."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Jingxiu again, "Uncle Wang, come here..."
Wang Jingxiu stroked his beard and said, "I am here to have tea with Junior Brother Yu Longzi. I also sent Little Friend Li here by the way. Where is your master?"
Gu Linzi quickly raised his hands and said, "Master is in retreat at Hidden Immortal Rock. Master Wang, wait a moment, I will take you there right now."
He was a little shocked and glanced at Li Yan calmly.
He was not surprised that Gu Hanzi came to see him off. After all, he was responsible for the Enforcement Hall, so he had to deal with outer monks and had many favors.
But Wang Jingxiu's identity is not ordinary.
What is the background of this young man...
"Hidden Immortal Rock?"
Wang Jingxiu After hearing this, he shook his head and said, "You can arrange for Li Xiaoyou to stay there. Pindao can go alone."
"Yeah, that's fine."
Gu Linzi was stunned for a moment, and saw Wang Jingxiu and Gu Hanzi striding away, then he smiled and said, "Donor Li, there are guest rooms in the palace, please come with me."
"Wait."
Lu San suddenly said, "I'll live outside in the woods."
Li Yan turned around and saw the little fox and Rat One Rat Two, huddled in Lu San's arms and shivering, their eyes full of fear...
