Chapter 9 Embarking on the Journey
The discussion in the cave made a rough arrangement for everyone's future behavior: after Li Jingxuan recorded the exercises of the Immortal Sect, Lingchen and Linghe went to the south to teach, and accepted disciples in the name of "Shangqing Sect" to pass on the exercises of the Immortal Sect, while Lingyun accompanied Li Jingxuan to visit the Baicao Pavilion in the Qing Netherworld Continent to seek the elixir of limb rejuvenation for Li Jingxuan.
Though......
"That...... Two senior brothers, I am also an adult, so senior sister doesn't have to suffer with me. This is not less than 10,000 miles away, but I am afraid that ......" At that time, Li Jingxuan still felt a little troublesome, and wanted to postpone it.
After all, he is a big man, although his physical age is only fifteen, but as a person possessed by another world, his heart is twenty-six or seven, and he has the mind of an adult. For him, it is inconvenient to have such a beautiful woman by his side. Especially when there is no such meaning between the two of them.
"It's not ......" Lingchen still responded succinctly, shaking his head gently.
At that time, several people were sitting around the stone table. While only the three of them were listening, Lingyun was serving dinner for the three of them not far away.
I said...... Senior Brother Jingxuan!" Hearing Li Jingxuan say this, Linghezi stood up leisurely, walked to his side, and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "You go to Qingming, although it is very far, there is still a way after all." But what about us? preaching to the south, not knowing where we will go. Especially junior brother, you said that you should try not to conflict with the sects in the south, and you have to take the route of encircling the city from the countryside, and you have to stay in a remote place. Going to a place like that, is it easy for you to let Senior Sister Lingyun follow us?"
"What's this?" Li Jingxuan was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it for a while, it seemed to be the same thing.
"......," he hesitated.
"Don't do this and that, you're still young...... Senior sister, no one will talk to you. We're all adults!" Linghezi said in an old-fashioned manner.
He said that he was an adult, but his real age was eighteen, two years older than Li Jingxuan.
Among the remaining four people of the Immortal Sect, Lingchenzi was the oldest, with two out of twenty. Then there is Lingyun, nineteen. After that, Linghezi's eighteenth and Li Jingxuan's fifteenth, the Immortal Sect with an eight-thousand-year-old inheritance, were left with only the four of them, who were less than a hundred years old combined, to survive, which could not but be said to be a kind of sadness.
And under this kind of sadness, whether it is Lingchen, Lingyun, Linghe or Li Jingxuan, they all feel the great responsibility on their shoulders.
"The Immortal Sect must be passed on...... We must find a way to avenge our master!"
That night, Li Jingxuan did not sleep. Not only did he not sleep, but even Lingchen, Lingyun and Linghe did not sleep. They were all sorting out the classics that Li Jingxuan had entered.
There are tens of thousands of inheritance classics of the Immortal Sect, not to mention whether Li Jingxuan has a way to enter these classics in a short period of time, even if he has time, the empty jade slips prepared by Lingchenzi and others are not enough. What's more, the entry of classics is not based on anything else, but Li Jingxuan's own vitality, and in the case that Li Jingxuan's own vitality is not sufficient, he may have to use some essence blood.
Although Li Jingxuan kept saying "It's okay...... It's okay to ......", but Lingchen and Linghe still deliberately controlled the number of classics entered, as long as they had the general outline of the Dao Sutra of the Immortal Sect and some more common exercises below the Baoyuan Realm, so as to reduce Li Jingxuan's burden. At the same time, they also asked Lingyun to refine the ginseng decoction, trying to replenish some qi and blood for Li Jingxuan.
Although a bowl of ginseng decoction for decades can replenish the qi and blood for a monk like Li Jingxuan is limited after all, it can make up for his more miserable and empty body after he uses a dozen drops of essence blood in one go, so that his spirit will feel better, so that he will not faint because of the serious consumption of qi and blood all of a sudden-this is also so that Li Jingxuan can better enter the classics of the sect.
"Alas...... The Ming Lingzi of the Hidden Scripture Cave is really too much, this is your life. Taking the jade slips that had been recorded by Li Jingxuan, Linghezi pursed his lips and complained distressedly.
At this time, Li Jingxuan's face was like white paper, his lips, which were not very rosy, were even more faintly blue, and his body trembled slightly, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. At this moment, you can't imagine his high-spirited appearance in the sect three months ago. Because at this moment, he is like a tuberculosis ghost who has been bedridden for a long time, and he may lose his breath at any time.
"Ming Lingzi's predecessors are also helpless...... After all, the Tibetan Scripture Cave is not a real cave, in order to maintain the operation of the Tibetan Scripture Cave and not let the Hidden Scripture Cave interfere with a rookie like me, Ming Lingzi's predecessors also exhausted their means. The main thing is that our strength is too low, if I were a disciple of the God Refining Realm, this would not be the case. The Immortal Sect, even when it was in danger before, did not fall to the point of relying on the disciples of the Body Refining Realm to survive and die. Li Jingxuan shook his head helplessly, opened his eyes forcefully, and said weakly.
Right now, the Hidden Scripture Cave has become his natal magic weapon and has been connected to his life in a strange state similar to symbiosis. If he dies, the Hidden Scripture Cave may not disappear, but it will definitely be hit hard, and it will not be able to recover for hundreds or thousands of years.
Therefore, if it weren't for Li Jingxuan's strong desire to do this, if he had to immediately enter the classics in the Hidden Scripture Cave, the Instrument Spirit Spirit Mingzi of the Hidden Scripture Cave would never have suggested him to do so.
As Li Jingxuan himself said, his strength and realm are still too low. He only has the strength of the eighth layer of the Forging Body Realm, although he has the Hidden Scripture Cave, but he doesn't even have the ability to make the Hidden Scripture Cave manifest and take out the original ability of the corresponding classics from it.
If you want to take out the classics from the scripture cave, you can only use a large amount of vitality to open the space of the scripture cave, and this kind of vitality Li Jingxuan is not enough.
Under the Heavenly Dao Law of insufficient vitality and essence blood, he could only consume essence blood little by little to open the space of the scripture cave, and extract the classics inside and print them into the jade slips that Linghezi and they prepared for themselves.
This is the only feasible way for him at the moment, and it is also a decision he made in desperation.
After all, it is impossible for these few of them to stay here all the time, and it is impossible for them to stay together all the time.
The Immortal Sect is left with a few of them who have slipped through the net, so they should disperse as soon as possible to further reduce the possibility of being discovered, and escape here as soon as possible is what they should do now.
As for the shortened lifespan of the lost sperm blood, but that is also a matter for later.
"I'm only fifteen years old, and I only have thirty years left to live, and I still have fifteen years to live. In fifteen years, I can also ascend to the Qi Induction Realm with a little effort, and even advanced God Refining is not impossible...... In exchange for the possibility of the future for the survival of the present, sometimes you have to make a choice accordingly. Li Jingxuan saw this very openly, and he also persuaded him to try to stop his machine spirit, Ming Lingzi.
It is precisely because all this is his own decision that he will explain to Ming Lingzi, who has no choice but to lie down.
"You're kind!" Linghezi shook his head slightly.
"It's not that I'm kind, but I've heard... This rule was set by Ancestor Shen!" Li Jingxuan mended the knife again.
"How could Patriarch Shen set such impersonal rules?" Linghezi was puzzled.
"How do I know...... It's pretty much the same anyway, I can finally take a break. Li Jingxuan handed the last recorded jade slip to Linghezi, sighed weakly, and gently closed his eyelids.
At this time, the sky beyond the cave was already faintly bright. A few people were busy working in this cave all night. Although he was very tired, looking at the pile of jade slips piled in front of him, Ling Chenzi and Ling Hezi's hearts were full of joy.
Linghezi glanced at Li Jingxuan, who was already asleep, and asked his junior sister Lingyun to take good care of him, and went to the entrance of the cave to warn him as he had done before.
An hour later, Lingchenzi came to replace him.
Then, another hour, it was Lingyun who came here.
The three of them took turns to handle the door of the cave, but it was to let Li Jingxuan on the stone bed rest better.
As Li Jingxuan's senior brother and sister, they all know what Li Jingxuan paid last night or even earlier.
Although I don't know why the inheritance of the Hidden Scripture Cave would choose a young disciple like Li Jingxuan, who has just started, but since Li Jingxuan obtained it, the three of Lingchenzi can only be envious of this and feel heartache for Li Jingxuan. Because, their strength level is much higher than Li Jingxuan's, and Li Jingxuan's current situation is also the situation when the inheritance fell into their hands.
From this to him, they will not be jealous of Li Jingxuan.
Three hours later, Li Jingxuan woke up leisurely.
When he regained consciousness, the first thing he smelled was a strange fragrance. Then he opened his eyes and saw Senior Sister Lingyun sitting on the edge of the stone bed looking at him with concern.
"I slept for a long time?" asked Li Jingxuan softly.
"Soon, a little more than three hours...... It's past noon. Lingyun replied softly. As she spoke, her left arm was copied behind Li Jingxuan, and her weak upper body was lifted up.
"It's past noon, then we'll have to hurry up!" Li Jingxuan said.
You can't stay in the Qingshan area for a long time, Li Jingxuan really thinks so. After all, this is already the enemy's sphere of influence.
"I'll call them...... You drink this bowl of ginseng soup now. Lingyun smiled and picked up the soup bowl that was not hot, and handed it to Li Jingxuan.
This cave was left by a certain predecessor of the Immortal Sect before, and I don't know what it was for. The cave is very hidden, and there are few furnishings inside, but there are some necessary living utensils. It's covered with the dust of time, but it's still usable with a little washing.
"Okay!" Li Jingxuan responded, and naturally took the soup bowl from Lingyun's hand and drank it.
Li Jingxuan drank the soup, Lingyun glanced at him with a smile, then stood up, walked outside the cave and called Lingchen and Linghe in.
When the two saw Li Jingxuan get up, they were immediately overjoyed. The three of them chatted around Li Jingxuan for another conversation, and then talked about leaving.
"It's really time to go...... It is already a miracle that this cave has been hidden to this day without being discovered by the people of the Ancestral Spirit Temple. Miracles can be one, but not again, sooner or later, the people of the Ancestral Spirit Hall will come to the door, and the more we stay, the more dangerous it will be. Li Jingxuan said this matter calmly. He was very much in favor of leaving.
"Immediately? Not waiting...... It's getting dark?" asked Linghezi.
"Immediately, and we'll have to go northwest first, and then turn south. Li Jingxuan thought for a while and said.
"Why?" Ling Chenzi raised her eyebrows.
"The northeast is the Qiantian Palace, the southeast is the hinterland of the Qianguo, the north is the base camp of the Ancestral Spirit Palace, only the northwest wasteland, the land is barren, and no one will generally go over. This is the best escape route for us. Although from the northwest to the southeast, there is no doubt that you have to go around in a big circle, but it is not easy to meet the big boss of the Ancestral Spirit Hall. Li Jingxuan whispered her reasons.
Of course, this is only one aspect, and there are more important things: "In order to prevent us, the remnants of the possible existence from joining up with the sects of the Qiantian Palace and even the hinterland of the Qianguo, the Ancestral Spirit Hall must have deployed heavy troops in the southeast, and I don't want to crash into it all at once." ”
"Hmm!" Ling Chenzi nodded thoughtfully.
"Then let's go?" Linghezi suggested.
"Let's go!" Li Jingxuan said firmly, and took the lead forward.
It's just that his body is still a little bit after all, and after taking a step, he shook unsteadily, but Lingyun hurriedly stepped forward and supported him by the arm from behind, so that he finally stabilized his figure.
"Be careful, don't go too fast!" Lingyun said with concern.
The group briefly packed the necessary luggage and left the cave where they had been staying for more than three months.
Outside the cave, Lingchenzi was reminded by Li Jingxuan, and made a move to collapse the entrance of the cave, and then used some other means to bury the traces of the cave.
Although they were only the most basic cultivators in the cultivation world, their level had caught up with the top players in the rivers and lakes. At this moment, they didn't have the method of flying with the Immortal Family's Imperial Weapon, but they just lifted the flying vertical, but they also slipped fast on the ground. In a quarter of an hour's time, they had rushed miles away, and were submerged in the woods, which were full of bleak and dead branches.
A month later, Jinzun Fort in Yongzhou, northwest.
Still with a white face, Li Jingxuan, who seemed a little weak, stepped into this one of the best cities on the edge of Weishui with the support of Lingyun. At this time, Lingchenzi and Linghezi went south first, took Yinpingguan, entered Sichuanzhou, and entered Jingchu into Minzhou.
This was the final destination that Li Jingxuan suggested they should go to.
As a large state that has always been rarely developed in Qianguo, there are not many cultivation sects in Minzhou, and its strength is not very strong. In the sect notes of the Immortal Sect, it is only mentioned that there is a Jade Girl Sect in Minzhou, which is considered a relatively large sect in the local area.
"In the name of a martial arts master, a sectarian stronghold was established in Minzhou, and the name was 'Shangqing Sect'. Minzhou's big jade girl sect is a sect of women's cultivation, and what they do on weekdays is relatively quiet, as long as you don't provoke them, they won't pay attention to you. After Li Jingxuan called on the distribution of the sects in his mind about the cultivation sects in the world, he suggested to his two senior brothers.
In this regard, neither Lingchen nor Linghe had any opinions.
Although everyone has already discussed that Lingchenzi will be the sect master in the future, as far as Lingchenzi himself is concerned, he thinks that he should add a pronoun in front of the sect master, and he is the sect master, not the sect master.
"As long as Senior Brother Jing Xuan can continue to bring his arm back from the Qing Netherworld Continent, then my position as the sect master will be passed on to him. Lingchenzi secretly swore in her heart.
After all, he knows his own affairs, and Ling Chenzi understands that he is not good at words, and it may be possible to be a law enforcement elder in the sect, but if he wants to really be a sect master, it is really ......
Lingchenzi said that she was very embarrassed.
He discussed this matter with Linghezi and Lingyun, and also obtained their consent, but secretly concealed it from Li Jingxuan.
"Senior Brother Jing Xuan is the hope of our Immortal Sect for the future. Senior Sister Lingyun, I hope you can take good care of him all the way. Ling Chenzi commanded Ling Yun very seriously.
"I will......" Lingyun nodded heavily.
After that, the two sides separated. Li Jingxuan and Lingyun were originally going to go to Linhe City and Guangwu to turn back to the southeast. However, after Li Jingxuan heard the name of Jinzun Fort and understood that it was a commercial center within a radius of thousands of miles, he insisted on coming to Jinzun Fort to find out.
"Since Jinzun Fort is a city of commerce, there must be many merchants in it. There are many businessmen, and there are also many people from three religions and nine streams, and there must be a lot of news here. We ran all the way and didn't know much about the situation today. So, I think we should go to Jinzun Fort first to find out the news. Li Jingxuan said this to Lingyun.
Lingyun thought about it carefully and felt that there was no harm, so she agreed.
