"What do you say? Qionghua faction? When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's the Qionghua faction," Yang Xuan nodded, and asked again, "Old man, what's wrong?" ”

"Ahem, it's nothing, it's nothing," the old man coughed lightly, stroked his beard and smiled, "The old man was an old friend of Tianxuan Zhenren, the first head of the Qionghua faction, 1,500 years ago. ”

"I see," Yang Xuan said secretly in his heart again, "If it is really as he said, this person will live for at least fifteen hundred years." ”

"I don't know how many generations the Qionghua faction has been passed down to now?" The old man's expression moved, and he asked curiously.

Yang Xuan truthfully told the old man, "Now the head of the Qionghua faction, Shu Yao, is the twenty-fifth generation of the head. ”

"I didn't expect that the Qionghua faction created by Tianxuan Daoyou could be passed down to the present day, it's amazing!" The old man said with admiration, and seemed to remember something, and said, "Ten years ago, I heard a Central Plains merchant passing by here say that the Qionghua faction had a big war nineteen years ago, do you know what happened?" ”

Yang Xuan didn't hide it anymore, so he carefully informed the old man of the great battle between the Qionghua faction and the Phantom Realm that broke out nineteen years ago.

"I'm so dizzy!" After hearing this, the old man shook his head again and again and sighed, "I actually want to raise a faction to become an immortal, if this is really the case, you can become an immortal, and there are no immortals everywhere in that heaven and earth?" ”

The old man scoffed at Qionghua's attempt to ascend, and Yang Xuan listened quietly on the side, without saying a word.

The Qionghua faction's delusional attempt to ascend to immortality, not to mention the immortal sword world, is also unreasonable to release the desolate world.

If anyone in the desolate world dares to come so nonsense, the land lord will directly report to the heavenly court. And then before you could ascend, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals came down and cleaned you up.

"But...... This is not surprising. "Yang Xuan has been in the Immortal Sword World for a while, and he can roughly guess why the Qionghua Sect is so obsessed with the matter of ascension.

As we all know, the Qionghua faction is the leader of today's immortal cultivation sect, and it is not inferior to Shushan.

However, as an immortal cultivator, after so many years, no one in the sect can become an immortal.

In contrast, although the history of the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect is not as long as that of the Qionghua Sect, the ancestor of the founding sect of the people, Taiqing Zhenren, is a person who has become an immortal.

In other words, there is a gold-lettered signboard on the side of Shushan. Not to mention that Shushan also has the support of the divine realm and is the agent of the divine realm in the human realm...... This is also the reason why Yang Xuan didn't dare to fight the idea of the three artifacts of Shushan, people in Shushan are not like Qionghua who rely on Shu Yao and Xuanxiao to support the scene, even if Shushan in the Xiansi period is not easy to mess with, people are not the kind of weak chickens in Qingyunmen.

No one from the Qionghua faction has become an immortal so far, and this problem is very serious.

Cultivating to become an immortal and immortality is the lifelong pursuit of countless monks in the world, which is also the greatest attraction of the immortal cultivation sect in the world.

If no one succeeds in cultivating immortals, then one day, the Qionghua sect will lose its attractiveness in the world, and it will face the danger of the sect declining or even disbanding......

When Daoyin Zhenren put forward his own "soaring" proposition, it was completely a political gamble.

If he succeeds, he will be remembered for generations to come. If it fails, the Qionghua faction will be discredited, and even face the danger of disbanding.

However, this is the program of the previous generation, and the successors of the younger generations are powerless to refute it, coupled with the enthusiasm of the group, and the unity of the whole body, it can be said that the act of flying immortals is already on the bow, and it is impossible not to send it.

Even Xuan Xiao and Shu Yao have plans to stop flying at this time, and they are also difficult to ride a tiger. The countless disciples in the sect all want to ascend to immortals, and break away from mortal life, old age, sickness and death like immortals.

If Shu Yao wants to stop her ascension, then she doesn't want to be the head of the whole house.

"By the way, the old friend you mentioned earlier is now the residence of Wangshu Sword," the old man asked with a complicated look on his face, "Could it be that the Qionghua faction is still planning to ascend now." ”

"That's true," Yang Xuan showed a hint of mockery on his face, "Not long ago, the Qionghua faction used the Xi and Wangshu nets to bind the Demon Realm, intending to attack the Illusory Eye Realm in one fell swoop, seize the Amethyst Stone, and realize their plan to soar to the Kunlun Heavenly Light. ”

"Alas, I see that these people are stunned for the sake of becoming immortals," Lao Tzu looked up at the sky and lamented, "If Tianxuan Dao friends know about it, how will they feel in their hearts?" ”

After being melancholy for a long time, the old man looked at Yang Xuan again, showed a bitter smile on his face, and said, "Don't hide it from your friends, the old man is the guardian of Atami. ”

"Poor Dao Yang Xuan, I have seen Daoyou." Before meeting, the old man reported to his home, Yang Xuan showed joy on his face, and bowed to the old man.

"Okay, okay, I don't think you're treacherous, so come with me." The old man said, waving his hand at the waterfall.

The next moment, the rushing waterfall parted like a beaded curtain, revealing a deep hole.

"Fellow Daoist, come with me, Atami is inside." The old man pointed at the entrance of the cave and said softly.

"Thank you" Yang Xuan bowed slightly at the old man, and followed the old man into the cave.

Walking in the deep and narrow corridor, which could only allow one person to pass through, Yang Xuan followed behind the old man, only feeling that the more he walked forward, the more he could feel a vigorous breath of life.

After walking for about ten minutes, Yang Xuan stopped, only to see that his front suddenly brightened.

In the huge cave, there are a few ever-bright lamps lit on the four walls, and the faint light emitted by Yang Xuan swept away at a glance, and it was actually a misty lake.

The lake water is clear and you can see the bottom, Yang Xuan stood on the edge of the lake, and he could feel a strong breath of life coming to his face, and the whole person was even more refreshed.

And in the middle of the lake, there is a large spring, from which the hot water is constantly tumbling upward, like boiling water.

"This is Atami, one of the Nine Springs of Shennong," the old man said with a smile, "Young man, are you interested in being the guardian of Atami?" ”

"Daoist friend said with a smile," Yang Xuan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Poor Dao is bent on seeking the Dao, and he is really a little uncomfortable with this kind of thing. ”

"If you don't want to, forget it, it's nothing," the old man waved his hand and sighed with emotion, "A thousand years ago, I felt that I had no hope of becoming an immortal, so I had the intention of returning to the world and not asking about the world. By chance, I met the previous generation of Atami Guardians, and he felt that his time was running out, so he entrusted me with the position of Atami Guardian. ”

After a pause, the old man lamented again, "Alas, there are fewer and fewer people who are really willing to be the guardians and garrisons of the Nine Springs. Three hundred years ago, the garrison of Atami passed away, and now the old man is also running out of life, and he doesn't know where to find someone who is willing to be a guardian and a garrison. ”

"It's okay, wait for more than three hundred years, and someone surnamed Luo will replace you."

Yang Xuan secretly complained to himself, and then asked respectfully at the old man who was still distressed, "Fellow Daoist, I don't know if the poor Dao can ...... now."

"Hehe" The old man naturally knew what Yang Xuan was thinking, and said with a smile on his chin, "You go down, but don't stay too long, otherwise you will be blown up by Atami's infinite life force." ”

"Thank you" Yang Xuan bowed to the old man, then jumped into the sea of Atami.
