There were three people seated in the chamber, two men and one woman.

Sitting in the center of the main hall was an old man with gray hair, thin and ruddy complexion, and a pair of clear eyes. He was dressed in a white robe with an emerald green bamboo leaf embroidered on it, and just sitting there made people feel ethereal. Sitting on the chair on the left side of the lobby was a middle-aged man, dressed in a blue and white robe, rusty and bamboo, with a plain appearance and a smile on his face. Sitting on the chair on the right is a beautiful woman, no more than 20 years old, neatly dressed, wearing a golden-winged flying phoenix hairpin, wearing a white background Xiucai gauze skirt, and a verdant bamboo embroidered on her chest. His face is quiet and peaceful, and his eyes are as gentle as water.

The three of them were talking and laughing, and when Li Xuanji walked into the council hall with Situ Zuiqiu, all three of them turned their heads.

"Hello Senior Brother in Charge, Senior Sister Jin, Hello Senior Brother Feng!" Li Xuanji held his hand and saluted the three of them separately.

The head of the sect really looked at him carefully, and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, don't be polite. Sit down and take a break. The other juniors and sisters didn't know that you were back, and they still don't know where to cultivate. Don't mind. ”

After Daozhen finished speaking, he looked at the burden that Situ Zuiqiu was holding tightly in his arms, and then said: "You not only completed the task when you went out of the mountain this time, but you also returned with a full load! You can do this for the first time when you go out of the mountain, and the senior brothers envy your good luck!"

Feng Zijing also looked at Li Xuanji, and asked with some surprise: "Little junior brother, I see that your breath is very calm, and the Taoist rhyme is beginning to appear, which is much stronger than when you left." Has your cultivation improved tremendously?"

Jin Siluan waved his hand, looked at Li Xuanji's face, and said with a gentle gaze: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter what task, harvest, or cultivation." The little junior brother came back safely more than anything else. The world is sinister and the people's hearts are unpredictable, so I opposed the little junior brother who went out of the mountains to Pingyang. The little junior brother has been cultivating since he was a child, and he doesn't have the slightest experience in entering the WTO, so it is not right for him and Jin Ning to go so far away and deal with those high-ranking officials and nobles. It's good to be able to come back safely now, but what do you care about the tasks and gains?"

Li Xuanji's heart warmed, smiled, and said, "Senior Sister Jin doesn't have to worry too much about me. How can I learn the experience of joining the WTO without real training? Although it is dangerous outside, I am not a vegetarian as a junior brother. Don't you see that I came back unharmed? It means that the outside world can't help me. ”

Jin Siluan smiled helplessly, acquiescing to his statement.

Li Xuanji looked at Feng Zijing again and said, "Senior Brother Feng is really good eyesight, my realm has indeed improved. Now we have reached the door of the mortal realm. ”

"What?" Feng Zijing opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "You had just broken through the Manifest Dao Realm when you left, right? It's only been three months, and you've already crossed the middle and late stages of the Manifest Dao Realm, and you're about to enter the Mortal Realm...... Why, how did you make such rapid progress? Could it be that you have taken some kind of panacea?"

Situ Zuiqiu, who was on the side, glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "Do you think that the little junior brother is like you? dare to take any messy pills! The little junior brother has extraordinary qualifications, he has been born with experience, he has learned a lot, and it is normal for him to be able to make a big breakthrough!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Xuanji again and encouraged: "Little junior brother, don't listen to his nonsense, he is jealous." With your talent, if you practice hard for another twenty or thirty years, you may be able to surpass him. ”

Feng Zijing suddenly became a little anxious, "What twenty or thirty years?" Senior Sister Situ, you look down on me, I have practiced for a hundred years anyway...... How can a senior who has been a senior for many years be surpassed by a junior disciple so easily?"

Situ Zuiqiu didn't pay attention to him at all, and smiled stupidly as he hugged the burden in his arms again, and made Fengzi angry and wanted to vomit blood.

Li Xuanji smiled wryly, ignored the topic, and said to the head of the sect, "Senior brother." I don't know if you have any news about Jin Ning? Jin Ning and I encountered some things when we went out of the mountain this time. Once, when the situation was particularly critical, Jin Ning seemed to have touched the bloodline seal on her body in order to save me. Later, when she was in Pingyang City, she hurriedly said goodbye, leaving a letter saying that she wanted to go back to her family, telling me that I didn't have to wait for her, she would come back herself. But it's been almost two months, why hasn't Jin Ning come back yet?

Dao Zhen's face was calm after hearing this, and he didn't have any anxiety, and was about to speak, but Jin Siluan on the side replied first: "Little junior brother, you don't have to worry about this. I have received a message from our Kim family. Jin Ning was safe and sound, but her bloodline was too special, and after touching the seal, it caused a lot of sequelae. The family letter said that she needed to be treated well, and she would not be able to return to Qingzhumen in a short time. ”

"I see. Li Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had always been worried about whether the impact caused by touching the seal in the first place would damage Jin Ning's cultivation and even cause fatal injuries to her. Now that he heard that the other party was fine, he could finally put his heart down.

"Little junior brother ......" was when Li Xuanji was stunned, a voice came from next to him. Feng Zijing's face was unnatural and asked in a low voice: "Since you brought a gift back to Senior Sister Situ when you went out of the mountain this time, do you have any gifts for us?"

Hearing Feng Zijing's words, Li Xuanji laughed, "Of course I have brought gifts to everyone, and everyone has a share!"

As soon as his voice fell, a gift that had been prepared appeared in his hand, containing clothes, food, wine, and some gadgets, and delivered it to Feng Zijing's hand.

Feng Zijing didn't look at these gifts, but stared at the bland bag around his waist, and said in astonishment: "This ...... This is a Qiankun bag?!"

Li Xuanji laughed and said, "Well, it's the Qiankun bag." A gift from the Ling family. ”

"I'll go, this can also be given as a gift? This is a treasure that even the senior brother in charge doesn't have! He is worthy of being a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is really wealthy! I knew that I could get a Qiankun bag for this mission, so I would go anyway!" Feng Zijing said with a regretful face.

Situ Zuiqiu said disdainfully: "You? Forget it! Although your cultivation is okay, your spiritual skills are simply miserable! If you go, I'm afraid you won't get anything, and you will be kicked out of the mansion by others." As for this Qiankun bag, although it is rare, in the final analysis, it is just a bag containing things, what is so rare? It is their blessing to be able to invite the little junior brother to help, and they will not suffer a loss if they give it to the little junior brother. ”

"......" Feng Zijing lowered his head and was speechless.

Li Xuanji ignored these two people, took out two more gifts from the Qiankun bag, and sent them to Jin Siluan and the head of the sect Daozhen respectively. The gift to Jin Siluan is the same as Situ Zuiqiu's gift, and there are also some 'ding' collision sounds in it, and it also exudes a faint fragrance.

He continued to take out the contents of the bag and put them on the table and chairs, including clothes, silk, daily necessities, food, and wine! There were even many things that could no longer fit on the table and chairs, so they were placed on the ground instead. These are all things he bought back in Pingyang City and Dead Dragon City, and he is going to give them to the elders and disciples in the sect as gifts, if it weren't for the fact that he had a Qiankun bag, I am afraid that he would not really be able to bring them back.

After a while, the tables and chairs in the entire council hall were full of things, which could be described as piled up, and the four people present were dumbfounded!

"Senior Brother Head, these are all gifts I brought back for my senior brothers, sisters and disciples, let's send someone to distribute these things later!"

Dao Zhen, who came back to his senses, smiled at Li Xuanji and said, "Okay, good, little junior brother, you are truly 'returning with a full load'." This trip out of the mountain must be a colorful story! Why don't you share with us the experience of these three months?"

Hearing the master's sincere words, the other three people also looked over together, their eyes full of interest.

"Okay!" Li Xuanji said with a smile: "Actually, the senior brother in charge said wrong before, I am not lucky all the way, it can be said that I am unlucky." But the senior brother in charge is also right, the experience of the past three months can really be said to be colorful!"

"Oh, so the story must be exciting! You have to listen to it!" said Michizan with a smile.

Feng Zijing, Jin Siluan and Situ Zuiqiu suddenly became interested, put down the gifts in their hands, and quietly waited for his story.

Li Xuanji thought for a moment before he began to speak: "The unquiet story that Jin Ning and I experienced should start from walking out of Xichuan and arriving in Dead Dragon City. That day, when we walked into the Dragon City, we met a fat man and a group of people......"

Li Xuanji spoke eloquently. When he talked about the millions of insects in the Wolong Mountain Grottoes, several people were chilled; when he talked about Jin Ning burning the precious lamp oil in Daozhen's study lamp, Daozhen's distressed eyebrows were wrinkled; when he talked about two people who strayed into the cave ghost spider cave and fought for their lives, several people were worried; when he talked about entering the stone hall by mistake and encountering Long Youwei and the eight great families of Dragon City, several people fell silent and their faces were ugly; when he finally talked about breaking the mountain and river society map and entering the real mausoleum of the Purple Dragon Emperor, the four people were stunned and their faces were full of disbelief！

"My God, junior brother, the ancient tomb you found turned out to be the mausoleum of the Purple Dragon Emperor? And you even went in! Do you think you are impatient to live? That is the peerless emperor of the eternal years ago, the overlord of a generation! It is said that that man is ferocious and domineering, how can he let others enter? It is absolutely full of traps and traps. In the end, you were able to come out alive and sound!Your luck is simply against the sky!" Situ Zuiqiu first exclaimed.

"I didn't expect it to be the Purple Dragon Emperor!" Dao Zhen, the head of the sect, sighed lightly and said, "This is a peerless master from 10,000 years ago, and he is also a respectable figure, leaving many mysteries in the history of the cultivation world. It is said that his origin is very mysterious, and it is said that the exercises and techniques he practiced are related to the divine dragon! He almost dominated the world with his combat power and wisdom, and created a miracle! And his bizarre fall made countless people sigh. Unexpectedly, his mausoleum is in an inconspicuous Wolong Mountain. But why is there no body of him in the jade coffin? Could it be that his cultivation is really transcendent and holy, and after death, he turns into the Tao and completely dissipates between heaven and earth? But why is there still a sword buried?"

Dao Zhen looked at the quaint dragon slaying sword in Li Xuanji's hand, shook his head and said: "Little junior brother, this dragon slaying sword is not simple, it chose you! You don't need to try it, I know that no one here can afford to hold it except you! And the strange technique you learned on the jade tablet is directly imprinted into your sea of consciousness, and we have no possibility of learning it! This may be your luck!" No one has been able to enter the mausoleum of the Purple Dragon Emperor for 10,000 years, but it was broken by you, and the gods choose the master, and the magic follows, maybe this is the will of heaven in the underworld!"

Feng Zijing stared at the dragon slaying sword in Li Xuanji's hand with wide eyes on the side, salivating. But when he heard the words of the head Daozhen, he suddenly felt like a deflated ball, and he was no longer interested, because he knew that Daozhen never told lies. However, as soon as he lowered his head, he suddenly raised it again, and asked Li Xuanji, "Little junior brother, didn't you say that you have also collected more than 20 rare treasures that are more than 1,000 years old?"

Li Xuanji was furious by his eyes, and said stiffly: "Senior Brother Feng, those elixirs are no longer there!"

"It's gone?!" Feng Zijing jumped up suddenly, "Little junior brother, don't tell me that your cultivation is all improved by eating those rare elixirs!

Looking at the excited Feng Zijing, cold sweat broke out on Li Xuanji's forehead.

Jin Siluan on the side waved his hand and comforted him softly: "Senior Brother Feng, you sit down first, don't get excited." Listen to the little brother speak slowly. How could so many rare elixirs be deliberately wasted by the junior brother, there must be some stories that have not yet been told. ”

Li Xuanji sorted out his thoughts for a moment and continued to speak: "After leaving the Dragon City, Jin Ning and I hitchhiked for half a month, and finally came to the Pingyang Imperial City, and found the Ling family of the General's Mansion very smoothly. But Ling Zhanye of the Ling family ......"

He slowly told the stories of what happened in the Imperial City of Pingyang.

For example, he was forced by Ling Zhanye to participate in the spiritual arts competition, and he became the last ten to pass all the way; he promised to rebuild the spiritual veins of his whole body for Ling Cangyue, and paid the price of ten rare elixirs for this; in the Huaqing Palace, he spent more than half a month to recast the spiritual veins of his whole body for Ling Cangyue; at the last parting moment, Ling Zhanye gave him a Qiankun bag and a fire dragon horse!

The stories that happened in the imperial city were told by Li Xuanji, and several people who listened to them sighed.

"This Ling Zhanye is a very interesting person. For the sake of the country, he did his best for his daughter, and he was generous, but he was honest and selfless. Such a character is really rare, if you talk about today's heroes, you must count him as one! I just don't know what his cultivation is, I really want to fight with him!" Situ Zuiqiu said excitedly.

Dao Zhen frowned, and said worriedly: "I didn't expect that the hidden sect like the Lingyin Sect would also start to meddle in the affairs of the world, and the forces behind the Mingyang Chamber of Commerce would also take action. This is really not a good sign! The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings......"

Jin Siluan looked at Li Xuanji with a pair of gentle eyes, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that your spiritual skills have reached this state, junior brother, and even senior sister and I may not be able to succeed in such a thing as rebuilding the spiritual veins of the whole body." It seems that Uncle Xiao's choice of you as his heir is really the wisest choice in a hundred years!" Her words then changed and asked ambiguously, "I just don't know what the Ling family's girl is?"

Li Xuanji was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Before he could speak, Feng Zijing pounced on him and asked with hope: "Little junior brother, you used ten elixirs to cure the girl of the Ling family, and it is not too much of a loss to exchange for a Qiankun bag and a fire dragon horse." But where did the rest of the rare elixir go?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, Senior Brother Feng listens to me slowly!" Li Xuanji wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and continued: "After I left Pingyang City, I met that fat man surnamed Yu again......

He continued to tell the story of what he encountered on the way back.

talked about being besieged by Yu Liangcai, and then chased all the way by the old man surnamed Shi into the wild goose no return forest; talked about the encounter with the beast tide in the forest, the old man surnamed Shi died without a whole body, and the demigod beast Dragon Horse left a gift; then talked about the terrible scene in the forbidden land of the wild goose no return forest, as well as the acquaintance and companionship with the little fox Jin Ling; and finally told about the battle with the Liang family after the return to the Dragon City, and the little fox Jin Linghua formed a human!

The first story told by Li Xuanji is a bizarre adventure, the second story is an act in the imperial city, and the third story is full of conspiracy and fighting, a contest between life and death!

Dao Zhen, Jin Siluan, Feng Zijing, and Situ Zuiqiu were all silent after hearing this, and their faces were cloudy.

After a long time, Dao Zhen sighed lightly and said, "The little junior brother's journey is really bumpy, and he has wandered between life and death several times. 'The way of the world is sinister, and people's hearts are unpredictable,' what Senior Sister Jin said is not wrong at all! We can fight to the death just for some grievances that are not worth talking about, and we can disregard people's lives only for some trivial interests! I sent my junior brother out of the mountain, but he almost killed him, and my senior brother was really ashamed in his heart!

"Senior Brother in charge, don't say that!" Li Xuanji hurriedly stopped: "The way of the world outside is like this, how can I blame your head? How can I experience so many interesting stories and get so many gains when I don't go out of the mountain? I am very grateful in my heart that Senior Brother in charge can trust me and give me such an opportunity." We cultivators are already fighting against the heavens and against fate, and entering the WTO to practice is also a process that cultivators must go through. Besides, I'm not going to come back well?"

After hearing this, the head of the sect really laughed and said, "Little junior brother, this mouth is really not inferior to your spiritual skills! You are right, no matter what, just come back!"

"Senior brother in charge is right, it's good to come back. Feng Zijing walked over and patted Li Xuanji's shoulder and said, "Little junior brother, no matter what you lose or what you gain, as long as you come back safe and sound." Your rare elixirs are used in the right places, and if they are gone, they are gone. Senior brother also supports you!"

Situ Zuiqiu said enviously to Li Xuanji: "Little junior brother, you are actually still a very blessed person. Senior sister, my greatest wish in my life is to accept a divine beast as a spiritual pet, but unfortunately I haven't even seen it for so many years. And you were able to be rescued by Ryoma, not only can you talk face to face, but your fire dragon horse has also been gifted by it!

Jin Siluan smiled and said, "Senior Sister Situ, you have one more thing to say." The little junior brother also got the following of a royal spirit fox, and luckily turned into a human! Now who in this world can let a spirit beast that has turned into a human follow? You have been a beast master for so many years, and you are easily surpassed by the little junior brother!"

Situ Zuiqiu's face suddenly resented, and Li Xuanji was horrified for a while. Then she smiled again and said, "Although I won't admit it." But I really seem to have been surpassed by my junior brother. In terms of bloodline, the few fools I raised are far inferior to the royal spirit fox, and even worse than the fire dragon foal; in terms of strength, although they can barely be regarded as a beast king, their talent is limited, and their future achievements are limited. The achievements of the little junior brother's Spirit Fox and Fire Dragon Pony in the future are limitless! Just think about it, I'm jealous!"

Jin Siluan heard Situ Zuiqiu's self-deprecation, smiled softly, and said to Li Xuanji: "Little junior brother, I heard you say this, on the way back from the Pingyang Imperial City, that fire dragon horse and that little fox saved you and helped you many times! Where are the Flame and Jin Ling you are talking about? Call them over and see them!"

The head of Daozhen, Feng Zijing, and Situ Zuiqiu also nodded in agreement.

"They're outside!" Li Xuanji replied, then got up and shouted out the door, "Lie Yan, Jin Ling, come in and meet my senior brother and sister!"

As soon as his words fell, Blaze Yan and Jin Ling, who were waiting outside the gate of the council hall, quickly walked in.

Blaze walked on the ground with his 'da-da-da' hooves, curiously reading everything in the room. When it saw the men and women who were doing it, it slightly restrained its temperament, but it did not have any fear, but instead watched the crowd with its eyes wide open.

As soon as Jin Ling came in, he trotted to Li Xuanji's side, took his arm, and looked at everyone timidly. Then, under the prompting of the latter, he greeted very obediently: "Ahhh......h Hello everyone!"

The brief silence in the chamber was followed by laughter: "Hahahaha......"

"Herod......" Flame stepped on his hooves dissatisfied, glaring at everyone angrily. Jin Ling hid behind Li Xuanji, wondering what they were laughing at.

"What a bold fire dragon horse, a smart and clever spirit fox!" Situ Zuiqiu said enviously.

"yes. can be accompanied by two such partners, and the little junior brother will definitely not be lonely along the way. Jin Siluan said with a smile.

Dao Zhen looked at Lie Yan and Jin Ling carefully, and nodded with his beard wrinkled.

Feng Zijing stepped forward and asked, "Lie Yan, Jin Ling, you two have helped save the little junior brother, that is, you are kind to our Qingzhumen, you can treat this place as your own home, and play casually." Just let me know if you have any requirements, and I will do my best to accommodate your requests. ”

Jin Ling tilted his head and asked, "Ah......hh Can I eat meat every day?"

As soon as the words fell, there was another burst of laughter.

"Little junior brother, you just came back, and it's been hard to trek through the snowfield, do you want to take a break?" asked the head of the sect, Daozhen.

Li Xuanji waved his hand and refused: "No need senior brother in charge." I want to go and see Master!"

"That'...... Alright!" the truth was clear, and he didn't say anything more.

"Jin Ling, do you want to go with me to meet my master?" Li Xuanji asked Jin Ling.

"Ahh......h Yes!"

Jin Siluan looked at Li Xuanji's distant figure in a daze, and suddenly something flew towards her. She hurriedly reached out to catch the object, but when she looked at it, it was a jade box. When I opened the lid, I was shocked to see a ball wrapped in a dead branch inside.

"This ...... It's ......"

A voice came from afar: "Senior Sister Jin, please study this sacred tree." ”
