Chapter 17: The Green Fire Gate
Qiling Mountain Range, the largest mountain range within a radius of 10,000 miles, stretching for thousands of miles, there are countless spiritual grass and spiritual trees, although most of them are low-level spiritual grass trees, but it also makes this place full of vitality, and it is also a good place for cultivating and retreating. The Qinghuo Gate is located on the Qiling Mountain in the middle of the Qiling Mountain Range. It can also be said that the entire Qiling Mountain Range is where the Qinghuo Gate is located, and there are disciples patrolling around the mountain range all year round. In case other forces snoop on and sneak attack.
At this time, in the Qiling Mountain Range, a hundred miles away from the Qiling Mountain, two young men, one fat and one thin, were slowly coming towards the Qiling Mountain. It was Tang Long and Lin Hai. The two arrived here from Lijia Town, thousands of miles away. It's been more than 20 days. And after more than 20 days of getting along, the two of them thought more and more, Tang Long also joked about Lin Hai from time to time, as a five-good young man who crossed from the earth, how could Lin Hai be comparable to him, often Lin Hai couldn't find the words to fight back, and the whole pig's face turned red.
"Hey, I said Lin Fatty, how many times have you stopped this way, and it's really embarrassing that you are still in the late stage of Qi training!" Tang Long had a grass in his mouth, walked easily, and quipped at Lin Hai, who was panting behind him.
"Damn, I said, do you think that a person can give you a pervert, two days and two nights without rest, Yuan Li has never been exhausted, if it weren't for the fact that I have a little pill stock in my hand, I may not be tortured to death by you all the way, and when I enter the imperial qi realm, I will see how you compare." Hmph!" Lin Hai said breathlessly from behind.
"I really don't know how you cultivated the late stage of Qi cultivation, I'm in the middle stage, you still want to be my little brother, hey, it's really cheap to think about. Tang Long then quipped. Just stopped. Back to the stone wall. Relaxed. This is the benefit of the Five Elements Recipe and the Five Elements Dao Root, not only is the condensation degree of Yuan Force higher than that of ordinary Daoists, but also the Yuan Force is much deeper. This means that Lin Hai was able to get here in more than 20 days by relying on the pills, of course, this has a lot to do with the cultivation that Lin Hai piled up with the pills, and the foundation is too thin. If you are fighting with others, it is easy to fall into disadvantage.
Lin Hai walked to Tang Long's side, sat down on the ground, and gasped: "It seems that it is caused by the excessive use of the pill, the breakthrough is too fast, the foundation is not stable, otherwise it would not be like this, and when you return to the door, you must meditate for dozens of days, and lay a good foundation." Ah. I'm tired to death, and the taste of Yuan Li being exhausted is really uncomfortable. "This is also two days and two nights, since the Yuan Force was exhausted, Lin Hai followed Tang Long's advice and did not supplement the pill, but has been relying on meditation to restore the Yuan Force.
Lin Hai continued: "It's not far from the Blue Volcano Gate here, let's meditate and recover first. After speaking, Lin Hai sat cross-legged and recovered from meditation, but fortunately, the yuan strength here is sufficient, and he also recovers quickly. Seeing Lin Hai's situation, Tang Long thought about it and meditated and settled.
It would be false to say that Tang Long was not tired, after all, he had been in a hurry without rest for two days and two nights, and the yuan power in his body was also consumed too much, fortunately, Tang Long had a deep yuan power because of his cultivation of the Five Elements Formula, and the Five Elements Formula also had the advantage that Tang Long had the Five Elements Dao Root, plus the assistance of the Five Elements Formula, so along the way, he absorbed the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth while hurrying, and did not need to refine the attributes, but there would be no depletion of the Yuan Force. However, the first few times I arrived was stop-and-go, but this time I didn't rest much for two days and two nights, and the consumption was too large, and the recovery and consumption were naturally not proportional.
I saw that the fiery red yuan bead in Tang Long's body was rotating rapidly, constantly absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, and restoring the yuan force, of course, this recovery speed was also extremely fast, why did Tang Long's yuan bead turn fiery red, this is still related to the Five Elements Exercises. Generally speaking, unless there is some very clever concealment method that can hide the Yuan Zhu from being spied on, it is easy for a person with a high realm to see what Yuan Zhu is in the body of a low-level cultivator. Back then, before Zhang Sanfeng's Dao strength was Dacheng, he was afraid that others would know that he was the root of the Five Elements Dao, so he researched a method that could change the attribute color of the Yuan Zhu in his body at will, even if it was several realms higher than himself, he couldn't detect it. Of course, this is not a pure means of concealment, it can already be regarded as changing attributes. Of course, this is only for those who cultivate the Five Elements Dao Root, and the rest of the people are not good. And Tang Long was inevitably discovered that he was the root of the Five Elements Dao, so he changed himself into a fire attribute Yuan Bead, but in this way, he couldn't use the Thick Earth Armor. Let's take it one step at a time. Tang Long thought to himself.
"Well, here, this is the mountain gate of my Qinghuo Gate, and it is also the place where you will practice and cultivate the Tao in the future. Lin Hai said to Tang Long. It's been two hours since I came here, and if Tang Long hadn't waited for Lin Hai to recover, it would have been there a long time ago.
Tang Long looked around, a straight mountain road led to the mountain, there was no end in sight, and when he looked up, there were clouds and mist in the distance. The Qiling Mountain Peak seems to penetrate the clouds, among which the Qionglou Yuyu is faintly visible, and there are many spirit birds and cranes shuttling in the clouds and mist. The surrounding vitality is incomparably gentle and full, it is worthy of being a small force mountain gate, it is really a treasure land for cultivation, Tang Long is confident that if he can step into the imperial qi here in less than a year, then he can fly through the sky and cultivate more powerful Dao skills, the mountain gate of this small sect is already so I don't know what kind of scene those medium-sized sects or even large sects are. Tang Long thought so.
"Let's go, I'll take you to go through the entry procedures, this time you have to bleed again, the old man who manages the entry disciples is very dark-hearted. Saying that, Lin Hai did not go up, but turned around and walked to the right. Thinking about it, the old man Lin Hai had a twitch on his face. It seems that I have suffered a lot of losses.
"Hey, this isn't a mountain gate, why don't you go from here and go somewhere else, is there another way?" Tang Long asked with some confusion when he saw Lin Hai walking to the right.
"Well, I forgot to tell you this, Qiling Mountain is not something that can be accessed by a casual disciple of the Qi cultivation period, and the people who live on it are either the inner disciples of the Imperial Qi Realm or some personal disciples. A newcomer or an ordinary Qi Cultivation Realm disciple like you is not allowed to go up at will. They all stayed on the small Qiling Mountain next to it. It's almost there, but it's much stronger than other places. This is the rule of the Qinghuo Gate. So, please come here. Wait for you to cultivate to the Imperial Qi Realm. You can come and go as you please. ”
"And this rule. Tang Long said, but then relieved, since he came, follow the rules. So he followed Lin Hai to Xiaoqiling Mountain.
The person who went through the entry procedures and managed the Qi cultivation disciples was an old man named Gongsun Yang. The cultivation in the early stage of the forging pill was mean to life, and he was greedy for money, and he stepped into the early stage of the forging pill with his qualifications, which was already the peak. If it weren't for some means, he wouldn't have sat in the position of a disciple in charge of the Qi refining period. This seat is very tight with oil and water. This Bu Lin Hai was extorted five hundred yuan stone just now. It makes Lin Hai call this a pain in the flesh. In fact, if you catch up with the Qinghuo Gate to recruit disciples, you can get started without spending money, but this is not the time to recruit disciples. It can only make Lin Hai bleed profusely. It is said that Gongsun Yang has some relationship with the master of the Qinghuo Gate.
The residence of the Qi cultivation disciples is very ordinary, just like an ordinary wooden house in the mortal dust. And the disciples in the Qi cultivation period are not able to cultivate every day with nothing to do. You still have to often complete sect tasks, such as patrolling the mountain, guarding the mountain gate, and so on. Of course, every month, the sect will also pay the corresponding yuan stones and pills for the disciples to cultivate. Of course, it is very small, after all, there are thousands of Qi cultivation disciples in the Qinghuo Sect, and the supplies issued by the sect alone are far from enough for daily cultivation, so some disciples complete additional sect tasks or help the seniors in the sect to plant spiritual grass and the like to get more rewards. Originally, it seemed that a new disciple or a disciple below the middle stage of Qi cultivation did not need to do sect tasks. But as soon as Tang Long came, he was a cultivator in the middle of Qi training, so he arranged a task of patrolling the mountain once every five days. This was also requested by Tang Long himself. Just right to get around.
At this time, Tang Long was sitting alone in his residence. Lin Hai arranged for Tang Long to leave some pills and Yuan Shi behind, and he was going to see his master Xuanmu Zhenren. Tang Long was cross-legged on the bed, playing with a pill bottle in his hand, pouring out a pill, and suddenly a fragrance wafted away. The entire wooden house that filled it made Tang Long feel refreshed. This is the elixir of the Qi cultivation period that Lin Hai left behind when he left. There are people who are good at cultivating, and that's really the case. Tang Long thought in his heart, since the steward Gongsun Yang said, a disciple in the middle stage of Qi cultivation can receive fifty yuan stones and three pills of pills corresponding to cultivation every month. And when Lin Hai left, he left behind three hundred yuan stones and a bottle of twenty pills, which was equivalent to what an ordinary mid-stage Qi cultivation disciple would get in half a year. couldn't help but Tang Long couldn't help but sigh.
Without further ado, Tang Long directly put the pill into his mouth, and it melted in his mouth. A wave of coolness hits. The medicinal power is dissolved, and a large amount of vitality spreads throughout the body along with the tendons. Indescribably refreshing and comfortable. No wonder they all like to use pills to cultivate, and their vitality is pure and sufficient. It saves time and effort, and is easy to refine, just this pill is enough to withstand three days of meditation and cultivation. Tang Long sighed in his heart. This was the first time Tang Long had used the pill to cultivate, and he immediately felt the benefits brought by the pill. This is also Tang Long, who has the Five Elements Dao Root, and the vitality required is huge. The medicinal power is not so obvious, if you change to an ordinary disciple, one pill is enough to be equal to ten days of meditation and cultivation.
Tang Long's two-handed magic changed. Place on top of your legs. He cultivated like an old monk in a fixed place. Refining the medicinal power of the elixir. The only thing he was thinking about now was to improve his cultivation, and he would enter the late stage of Qi cultivation first, which was not a difficult thing for him.
Talking about Lin Hai, after leaving Tang Long, he rushed towards a certain peak in Qiling Mountain. After about a quarter of an hour's effort, Lin Hai came to a cave mansion, which was the practice place of Xuanmu Zhenren. As a master of the Earth Spirit Realm and an elder of the Qinghuo Gate, Xuanmu Zhenren is of course one of the best places in the entire Qinghuo Gate. The Lingyin Peak of the Three Peaks of Qiling. Compared to the other two peaks, this place is much more deserted. Due to the fact that the eldest disciples and the second disciples of Xuanmu Zhenren fell one after another, some of the disciples and grandchildren on the peak were also scattered. Walked a lot. There are only a few people who devote themselves to cultivation and do not care about the affairs of the world.
"Master, I'm back. Did you miss me. As soon as Lin Hai arrived in the cave, he shouted loudly. There is no need to respect the teacher at all, in his own words: his own master, what is polite. (Lin Hai seems to have a Sichuan accent, hehe!)
"Stinky boy, come back when you come back, roar and roar, don't hurry up and get in with the teacher!" The voice is sonorous but gentle, as if it were natural.
Lin Hai snorted, and walked through the cave to another cave behind him. I saw a person sitting cross-legged on the stone bed in the cave here. Crane hair and childish face. The complexion is ruddy, although there are a few wrinkles. But there was no trace of twilight, but his eyes were bright and full of energy. His hair was in a bun and he had a slight smile on his face. Dressed in an earthy yellow robe, with four cyan fire clouds embroidered on the cuffs, he looked like a fairy wind and bones. This person is Lin Hai's master Xuanmu Zhenren, a master in the late stage of the earth.
"Hehe, master, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much, Xiaolinzi has asked the master for your peace. After that, I saw Lin Hai's fat body kneeling on one knee, but there was a smile on his face.
"Alright, alright, get up. How can you kid look like he respects the teacher, it's all because the teacher spoils you too much on weekdays. Xuanmu Zhenren said with some blame, but there was no hint of blame in his eyes.
"What's the matter, I have you in my heart, master, like those sanctimonious and hypocritical guys, who are respectful on the outside but treacherous on the inside. Lin Hai stood up and walked to Xuanmu Zhenren's side and said.
"Come on, it's a good thing that you don't cause trouble for your teacher. By the way, didn't the teacher tell you that you don't want to come back easily? Could it be that there is something wrong with coming back this time?" Xuanmu Zhenren asked after remembering something.
When Lin Hai saw the master asking, he instantly put away his laughing expression, and his indecent face showed a serious look. Said: "I decided not to stay outside, I want to come back to accompany the master." Work hard to cultivate. Whoever wants to come, let it be. Hmph!"
