Chapter 503: Choice
talked a lot with Tai Youdao, and Wang Bufan benefited a lot. The insights brought by these age experiences are something that Wang Bufan does not have at this moment. Although it was not beneficial to the combat power, it helped him to set up a good direction to move forward, have a real goal to strive for, and completely understand what he will experience in the process of reaching his goal.
"Bufan, in your heart at this moment, you should be blaming me, right?" Tai You said what he meant, Wang Bufan completely understood, he was referring to the matter of the Candle Yao Yuan Furnace. "Tai Lao is insightful in the world, and if he doesn't speak, there is naturally a reason why he doesn't speak. Tai You Daowu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said, "Let's put it this way, the Candle Yao Yuan Furnace should have been the thing of the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion, because you are only fighting for it on behalf of the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion." You are making trouble with the strong man behind you, and that person can't make a mistake. β
"But everyone understands very well that Ling Yu just wants to swallow the Candle Yao Yuan Furnace, and everything is just whitewashing. "Ling Yu is a very proud person, and he is extremely jealous. If you are not as good as him, he will take good care of you and protect you greatly, like a dedicated senior. But in fact, on the contrary, you don't have the advantage of his background, but you perform more dazzling than he did at the beginning, which will naturally be particularly 'favored' by you. β
"Fortunately, you are the only one who has been better than him in the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion for many years. Therefore, for the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion, he has always been a qualified mansion master, and no one can say the slightest shortcoming, almost perfect. Wang Bufan smiled and said, "In this way, I am the one who attracts jealousy, and I deserve it, Tai Youdao nodded, "That's true." Wang Bufan stopped talking, Tai Youdao stopped talking, and the two were silent.
After a long time, Wang Bufan spoke, "I want to leave the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion." At the same time, Tai Youdao also spoke, "Have you moved your mind to leave the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion?" and got the expected answer while asking, Tai Youdao nodded, "Sure enough, it's not what I expected." Wang Bufan asked, "What advice does Elder Tai have?" Tai Youdao was silent for a moment, and then said, "Don't dare to say the suggestion, after all, that's your path." But as far as I'm concerned, you don't need to leave for a while. β
"Leaving the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion and joining other forces, you still have to look at other people's faces and act. Even if you go to Skyfall City, won't there be a higher-level powerhouse to oppress you? You still can't do whatever you want. "Right now, in the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion, you don't have the ability to threaten Ling Yu, but you can also use his power to protect your own safety. At least, Tan Wuyi and the others of the Immortal Courtyard don't have anything to do with you, don't they?" "You don't have to be as strong as you are, keep a low profile, and don't let Ling Yu feel threatened. So in this Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion, who else will embarrass you now? I, Xue Changtong, Yan Zhong, or other elders?"
"No one dares to embarrass a refiner who can refine a high-grade spiritual weapon, and besides, Ling Yu has two paths in front of him. Wang Bufan nodded and motioned for Tai Youdao to continue. "Either maintain his original ambition, stay in the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion, and forcibly pull the Dao Mansion into an archipelago-level force. Either leave the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion and join the Immortal Courtyard where Ling Rong is or other forces. β
"If it's the latter, then it's very simple, now that the pastor has been expelled from the Dao Mansion, he will be hunted down by us and others later. Then after Ling Yu leaves, the position of the lord of the mansion can only be mine. "If it's the former, it won't be a problem for you. If Ling Yu wants to display his ambitions, it must be when he employs people, as long as you don't be too ostentatious, not only will he not touch you, but he will even give you shelter to keep you safe, and help him achieve his ambitions as a refiner. β
"So, no matter how you look at it, the benefits of your stay outweigh the disadvantages, and the only thing you need to do is to endure this breath and temporarily consider yourself a monk of the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion. Of course, you are a monk of the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion, and this is also your responsibility. "Of course Wang Bufan understands what this responsibility means, fighting, he is definitely not qualified to be a person in the upper realm of the Spirit Lake, even if he can fight in the lower realm of the Purple Mansion. So it can only be a refiner.
Refining tools, on the other hand, increases his experience in the means, in short, someone provides him with an endless supply of refining materials for him to hone his skills. All you have to do is to sharpen your skills, but what you get is a relatively stable environment that can improve your cultivation for the time being. Therefore, after thinking for a while, Wang Bufan made a decision. got up and bowed to Tai Youdao reverently. "Thank you Tai Lao for your advice, if you have something to achieve in the future, then ...... It's all my own hard work, and it has nothing to do with you. β
Tai Youdao was about to wave his hand and say goodbye, but he thought that such a joking would come out in the second half of the sentence, which suddenly made him angry. "You stinky boy, white-eyed wolf!" Then, the old and the young looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word. Tai Youdao left, and at the order of Ling Yu, he went to the sea area with him, and united with Tang Yijian and the others to hunt down and kill Mu Changming's father and son. Wang Bufan returned to the quiet room and devoted himself to cultivation.
Time is like clouds in the sky, one moment is still at the head, and the next moment it will go to the horizon. It seems that in the blink of an eye, nearly half a year has passed. In the past half a year, Wang Bufan, in addition to refining high-grade spiritual weapons for the Tianwu Dao Mansion's 'dedication', only left to meditate, occasionally going out to find cattle, Baicao, Yanqilang, Huang Li, and the three of them had a small gathering.
Niu Baicao is now amazing, he has obtained the weight of the entire Dan Cao Tang, all kinds of alchemy methods are in his hands, not to mention the extremely high Dan success rate, the effect is also excellent, and he has become the second rookie master after Wang Bufan, Master Niu. But for Wang Bufan, the senior brother, he is still loyal. Yan Qilang and Huang Li are also amazing, and they have made a lot of fame in the Tianwu Dao Mansion. All of them have defeated the people in the lower realm of the Purple Mansion alone, and the battle of fame is that the two of them joined forces to behead a demon cultivator in the middle realm of the Earth Demon under the horse, which really shocked the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion. Wang Bufan's cultivation has now also entered a bottleneck, and the base of the sixth minor order has basically turned colorless, and only a detailed investigation can see the slightest wisp of dazzling color. When these dazzling colors are completely gone, he will build the foundation of the seventh order.
At that time, he would be able to break into the lower realm of the Purple Mansion at will, without any hindrance. For the pursuit of the father and son of the pastor Changming, things did not go well, and his foothold was found by everyone, but when he pounced, he found that the father and son had fled, and since then there has been no news, as if the world has evaporated. On this day, Wang Bufan was cultivating in the living hall, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the hall.
Wang Bufan stopped cultivating, got up and came to the outer hall to open the door, but what caught his eye was an old face that he couldn't think of anyway. "Deputy Mansion Master Xue?" "Deputy Mansion Master Xue, the father of Xue Qingyan, Xue Changtong.
Since Shepherd Changming was deposed as the deputy lord of the mansion and then expelled from the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion, Ling Yu promoted Xue Changtong, who had entered the lower realm of the Yuan Law, to the position of the deputy lord of the mansion. At the beginning, Xue Changtong's friendship with Mu Changming was really good, but in fact, his friendship with Tai Youdao and other elders was already very good, and he didn't know anything about Mu Changming's Blood Heavenly Demon Skull, so his superiority was understandable.
It's just that Xue Changtong hasn't had any intersection with Wang Bufan in the past six months, and even the refining task is conveyed by others, why did he suddenly come forward today, and even knock on the door so politely? The door of the palace opened, and Wang Bufan looked at Xue Changtong in surprise. Xue Changtong patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Bufan, there are some things I want to say to you." β
Wang Bufan waved his hand, invited Xue Changtong into the hall, offered spiritual tea, and then looked at him quietly. Gently playing with the dazzling porcelain tea bowl that holds spiritual tea, Xue Changtong got straight to the point and said, "To be honest, I hate you a little. Without waiting for Wang Bufan to react, he continued, "If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have served the Tao. Wang Bufan was speechless, in fact, this matter is indeed inextricably linked to him. "Qing Yan often writes to me to ask about your situation, even if she is preachy, she, as a teacher, has never forgotten you. β
"Maybe I went a little too far with what happened before, but I hope you understand. At the beginning, I was indeed an elder of the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion, but first and foremost, I was a father, and Qingyan was my only daughter, I ......" Wang Bufan stopped Xue Changtong's expression of affection, and nodded straight, "I know, and I can understand." At the beginning, I was indeed too arrogant and went a little too far, after all, you are Qingyan's father. Xue Changtong bowed his head and continued, "Qing Yan is extremely talented, and there will be a day when she will come out of the Tao. But I hope you don't give up trying either, I believe your talent is even better than hers, so you must persevere. β
"It is rumored that as long as you reach the true immortal realm, you can forcibly break the oath of worship for the devotee. At that time, I will not stand in the way of the two of you. Although Wang Bufan didn't think that Xue Changtong's obstruction would have a big effect, it was not a bad thing to be recognized by the other party after all. So he said to Xue Changdao, "Uncle, don't worry, you will definitely work hard for this." β
Xue Changtong nodded, then shook his head and sighed bitterly, "It's just that I always feel a little embarrassed, the apprentice has a relationship with the master, isn't this messing up the generation, alas!" For this reason, Wang Bufan didn't care, and he didn't care about it, and he didn't have the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt, why can't he have a relationship? The two were silent, and they all tasted the spiritual tea silently. After a long time, Xue Changtong finally spoke again. "The annual big competition of our Tianwu Dao Mansion is about to start, even though there are a lot of things in the Dao Mansion this year, but the big competition cannot be wasted, and the mansion master has given me full authority to preside over this big competition. β
Putting down the spirit tea, Wang Bufan looked at Xue Changtong, "What do you mean?" "I hope you can participate in the competition in the upper realm of the Spirit Lake and win the top spot in one fell swoop!" He had also heard about Dabi earlier that the reward for the head of the Spirit Lake Realm was 100 pieces of high-grade spirit crystals. For ordinary people in the upper realm of the Spirit Lake, this is a wealth that is not weak. But for today's Wang Bufan, he can sell ten high-grade spirit weapons at will, and the value of far more than 100 high-grade spirit crystals can be sold, why should he participate in this boring competition?
What's more, now his white hair, each of which reflects the vitality in his body. According to his self-estimates, he can live for a month at most. If he couldn't break into the Purple Mansion Realm within this month and get the feedback of his life force, then he could only turn into a pile of dry bones. At such a precious moment, he was allowed to participate in the competition? How could it be! Therefore, Wang Bufan directly refused, saying that he had no interest in the reward. Xue Chang informed Xiao Wang that he had spent a certain amount of vitality, but he didn't know how much he had spent it. Therefore, he continued to convince him: "I just hope that through your fame, I can support the faΓ§ade of Qingyan." β
"If others learn that you are from the Earth Spirit Pavilion, then Qing Yan's face is also honored, isn't it?" Wang Bufan frowned slightly, this is a reason that cannot be ignored, but it is just ...... "Yan Qilang and Huang Li are also disciples of the Earth Spirit Pavilion, and I believe that among the people in the Spirit Lake Upper Realm in the Martial Arts Mansion this day, there is no one who is the opponent of the two of them. To be famous, it seems that having them is enough. "Alas!" Xue Changtong said eagerly, "why don't you understand?!"
Wang Bufan was slightly stunned, "Do I need to understand something?" Xue Changtong was helpless, and said directly, "Let me tell you like this, if you can't be stronger, the gossip that will pounce on you and Qingyan master and apprentice in the future will be like snowflakes." Maybe you don't mind, but Qingyan is a female stream after all. "If you are extremely strong, then this gossip will turn into a blessing. β
Is it possible to force others to change their minds on their own? But there seems to be some truth to it. Wang Bufan pondered for a while, and then nodded in agreement. It doesn't take much time to participate in the competition, as long as it's beneficial to Xue Qingyan, he doesn't mind doing it.
Xue Changtong was very satisfied, and discussed some other things with Wang Bufan, and then left. After talking to his father-in-law, Wang Bufan immediately sat cross-legged and cultivated. It's just that it's always difficult to stabilize his mind, and Xue Qingyan's appearance jumped straight out of his mind, smiling, and every move, pulling his soul. During this time, there is always an inexplicable feeling in my mind, as if I have been away for a long time. Wang Bufan thought about whether to go to the Earth Spirit Pavilion to take a look at Xue Qingyan.
For breaking the realm within a month, Wang Bufan has the ultimate confidence, but that inexplicable feeling is getting stronger and stronger, and it is always difficult to get rid of it. "Is something unexpected going to happen?" Wang Bufan muttered to himself. When a monk reaches a certain level, he will have a certain sense of what is about to happen. With such a strong feeling, Wang Bufan had to suspect that he seemed to be leaving for a long time. So, he took out his identity card and summoned Niu Baicao Yanqilang and Huang Li to the three of them, hoping to rush back to the Diling Pavilion to have a look at it together as a farewell.
Soon, the three of them replied one after another, and they all had no objection to this move. What's even more ridiculous is that the three of them actually feel this way, and they feel as if they are going to leave for a long time. The four of them looked at each other, and all eight of them were stunned...... Niu Baicao drove the sneaking shuttle, Yan Qilang and Huang Li, you and me, Wang Bufan Ling Pavilion, in the main hall of the pavilion. Wang Bufan looked at the stunned woman on the hall platform, with purple temples and a red skirt reflecting majesty. Today's Xue Qingyan seems to be more gorgeous and moving, perhaps because of the majesty and solemnity she brings as a superior.
"Bufan, why did you come back, and what is the matter with your white hair, why do I notice that there is not much vitality in your body?!" Xue Qingyan flew down and came straight to Wang Bufan's advance, her slender jade hand twisting her white hair, her eyes full of surprise and worry. Wang Bufan smiled and said, "Isn't this missing you, the beautiful master, so come back and take a look." As he spoke, Wang Bufan took out a set of fire-colored long skirts from the space clam and handed it to Xue Qingyan. "Apprentice, I personally refined the pinnacle high-grade spiritual weapon for the beauty master, and I hope the master will accept it with a smile. β
This fire-colored dress is not simple, and it represents the ultimate of Wang Bufan's refining methods today. One fusion of eight formations, acceleration formation, defense formation, attack formation, flying formation, giant force formation, phantom light formation, transformation formation, and concealment formation. It can be said that if it is condensed for a while, this high-grade spiritual weapon will most likely be pushed to the level of a lower-grade yuan weapon! Such a high-grade spiritual weapon is not precious, but Xue Qingyan didn't even look at it, only staring at Wang Bufan's white hair.
She said angrily, "I'm asking why you don't have much vitality!" Wang Bufan pouted, "Isn't this normal, of course the foundation of the Purple Mansion will consume vitality, as long as you break through the realm, you can recover." Xue Qingyan was greatly displeased, and severely reprimanded, scolding Wang Bufan for cultivating without a way and doing some reckless methods. Immediately, she took out a frog Ganoderma lucidum and forcibly stuffed it into Wang Bufan's hand.
Frog Ganoderma lucidum, accompanied by the nest of frogs, nourished by Jiaoqi every day, when the dragon is turned into a dragon, it also happens to reach the level of mature nine leaves, becoming the legendary dragon must be the elixir. It's just that this frog Ganoderma lucidum has not reached the nine-leaf level, and it is only the most common two leaves. But even so, its medicinal effect is still good, and it can also increase the vitality for at least two months. Wang Bufan knew that this must have been prepared by Xue Qingyan for breaking into the upper realm of the Purple Mansion in the future, so he refused to accept it, and directly stuffed the Qingjiao Lingzhi back into Xue Qingyan's hand.
Xue Qingyan was greatly annoyed, "Criminal, this is given to you by the teacher, you dare to disobey the will of the teacher!" The words were heavy, but the doting in his eyes was difficult to hide. Even though this is just the master's feelings for the disciple. "Okay, follow the master's orders. Wang Bufan seemed to have compromised, and reached out to take the Qingjiao Lingzhi. At the moment when his palm was about to touch the Frog Lingzhi, suddenly, Wang Bufan suddenly exerted his strength, and the five golden spiritual powers turned into spirit snakes, and went straight into Xue Qingyan's body, sealing his spiritual lake in an instant.
Without the support of the Spirit Lake, the Purple Mansion has become a pavilion in the sky, which means that Xue Qingyan has completely lost the means to control spiritual power. At this time, she is no different from mortals, but her physical strength is greater.
"Criminal, what are you going to do!" Xue Qingyan was furious, no matter what, she couldn't have imagined that Wang Bufan, who was an apprentice, would take advantage of her not being attacked by her. If it weren't for that, how could Wang Bufan, a mere person in the upper realm of the Spirit Lake, cultivate her to a ban?! Xue Qingyan urged the spiritual power in the Spirit Lake and was forcibly freed from the ban. It stands to reason that with her current cultivation in the middle realm of the Purple Mansion, breaking the spiritual power ban of those who break through the upper realm of the Spirit Lake must be destroyed, because the spiritual power condensation between the two is not at the same level at all.
But in fact, when Xue Qingyan urged her spiritual power to forcibly break free, she suddenly discovered that the spiritual power condensation between the two was indeed not at the same level. Unexpectedly, the spiritual power that was at a disadvantage turned out to be her, a person in the middle of the Purple Mansion!"Wang Bufan, you criminal, what are you going to do!" Xue Qingyan was even more shocked, her eyes were full of endless astonishment, she couldn't think of any reason for Wang Bufan to attack her. Wang Bufan put the Qingjiao Lingzhi on behalf of Xue Qingyan, and then said, "Master Beauty, you can rest assured, of course I won't hurt you, I just want you to talk to me for a while." β
After that, Wang Bufan pressed Xue Qingyan to sit on the palace platform, while he himself lay on the ground, his head resting on Xue Qingyan's feet. "With your cultivation, Master, it is estimated that it will take at most an hour to break this seal, so I have to tell you what I want to say quickly. Xue Qingyan was powerless to resist, so she had to glare at Wang Bufan angrily. Just staring at the bright eyes, it seems to be even more charming and heartwarming.
Pillowed on Xue Qingyan's feet, Wang Bufan said quietly, "Mu Changming's father and son were hunted down and killed because of the matter of the Blood Heaven Demon Skull, Master Beauty, you have to be careful in the future, don't get into Muye's way." β
Xue Qingyan frowned at her handsome moth eyebrows, and said suspiciously, "Isn't the Blood Heavenly Demon Skull destroyed a long time ago?" Immediately, Wang Bufan explained to her everything that had happened that day. After listening to the explanation, Xue Qingyan couldn't help but bow her head, "No wonder your master ancestor sent me a message to inform me that Mu Changming's father and son had been expelled from the Heavenly Martial Dao Mansion and asked me to stay away from Muye. Your ancestor doesn't know about this, right?"
Shizu ...... When Xue Qingyan mentioned her ancestor, Wang Bufan's first reaction in his mind was 'Master you, uncle, I will teach you with a face' that day. At this moment, he was embarrassed and said, "Well, top secret, the master doesn't know, so you have to keep your mouth shut, this is Ling Yu's shortcoming, according to his heart, this matter must not be revealed." Xue Qingyan was clear-minded, and she immediately heard the meaning from Wang Bufan's words, "Do you have a conflict with the lord of the mansion?"
"No, it's just a casual talk. Wang Bufan didn't want to say that Yu Xue Qingyan knew about these contradictions, but only worried about her. Afraid that Xue Qingyan would ask again, Wang Bufan directly changed the topic and said, "Master Beauty, can you still remember the past?" Recalling the madness of that day, her face couldn't help but flush, but even if she turned into a cold desert, "I have never forgotten to be a teacher, but the past is the past, and now I am a teacher who has served the Tao, and I don't want to mention the absurdity of the beginning." β
Wang Bufan's heart was a little cold, after all, these words came from Xue Qingyan's mouth, even if she was already in the Tao. He forced himself to be happy, and joked, "Master Beauty, you don't want to relive that day, regardless of whether you cultivate in the future or not, Lao Tzu will fight with you, is it difficult that you still have to care who your mother marries? The opponent in the final did not surprise him, it was Yanqiro. In the ring, Wang Bufan smiled at Yan Qilang, "I finally have a chance to fight you." β
Yan Qilang sat on the three-legged tripod, his feet hanging in the air, and his face was bitter. "Can you discuss?" "You let me make ten moves, as long as you can resist ten moves, I will admit defeat." β
"Otherwise, if you want to make a move with your real combat strength, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to make ten moves......"
