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. Sitting on the chair on the left side of the lobby was a middle-aged man, dressed in a white robe, rusty green 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 about something with a smile on their faces. 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, Senior Brother Feng!" Li Xuanji held his hand and said hello to the three of them.

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. Your other brothers and sisters don't know you're back, and they don't know where you're cultivating now. 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 the task, harvest, or cultivation are." 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 the world without real training? Although it is dangerous outside, I am not a vegetarian. 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 opinion.

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 in disbelief, "You had just broken through the Manifest Dao Realm when you left, right? It's only been three months, you've already crossed the middle and late stages of the Manifest Dao Realm, and you're about to enter the Mortal Realm? Back then, it took me nearly thirty ...... to cross the Manifest Dao 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 did encounter 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?

Michizane's face was calm, and there was no anxiety.

Before Dao Zhen could speak, Jin Siluan on the side had already spoken: "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 let go of the stone that was pressing in his heart.

"Little junior brother ......" was when Li Xuanji was stunned, a voice came from next to him. Feng Zijing asked in a low voice with an unnatural face: "Since you brought a gift back to Senior Sister Situ when you went out of the mountain this time, did you bring us a gift back?"

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

As soon as his voice fell, he flipped through his hand, and he held a prepared gift in his hand, which contained 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, "Yes, it's the Qiankun bag." A gift from General Ling. ”

"I'll go, this can also be given as a gift? A treasure that doesn't even have the senior brother in charge! It 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, and I will go in a hurry!" Feng Zijing said with regret on his 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. ”

"......" 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. 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!

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.

"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 really '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, even the three of them 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......"

When he talked about the Wolong Mountain Grottoes encountering a tide of millions of insects, several people were chilled; when he talked about Jin Ning burning the precious lamp oil in Daozhen's study lamp, Dao Zhen's distressed eyebrows wrinkled; when he talked about entering the stone hall by mistake and encountering the fight between Long Youwei and the eight great families of Dead Dragon City, several people were silent; when he finally talked about breaking the mountain and river society map and entering the real mausoleum of the Purple Dragon Emperor, the four of them 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 exclaimed.

"I didn't expect it to be the Purple Dragon Emperor!" the head of the sect really sighed lightly, "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 his cultivation techniques and techniques 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 with regret. 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 and shook his head, "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 hold it except you! And the strange spell you learned on the jade tablet is directly imprinted into your sea of knowledge, and we don't have any possibility of learning it! This may be your luck! The mausoleum of the Purple Dragon Emperor has not been able to enter for 10,000 years, but it was broken by you, and the gods choose the master, and the spells follow, maybe this is the will of heaven in the underworld! ”

Feng Zijing stared at Li Xuanji's dragon sword with wide eyes on the side, salivating. But when he heard the words of the master, he suddenly felt like a deflated ball, and there was no more **. For he knew that the truth never told lies. However, as soon as he lowered his head and raised it suddenly, he hurriedly asked Li Xuanji, "Little junior brother, didn't you say that you have stepped on more than 20 rare treasure pills that are more than 10,000 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 and continued: "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 art 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; he spent more than half a month in the Huaqing Palace 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, there must be him! 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 two forces of Lingyin Sect and Mingyang Chamber of Commerce would also start worldly affairs. 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 junior brother, your spiritual skills have reached this point, 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 for people." It seems that Uncle Xiao's choice of you as his heir is really the wisest choice in a hundred years!" As soon as she finished speaking, she changed her words 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 rushed forward and asked with hope: "Little junior brother, it is not too much of a loss for you to exchange ten elixirs 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 beast tide encountered in the forest, the old man surnamed Shi died without a corpse, and the gift of the demigod beast dragon horse; then told about the terrible in the forbidden land of the wild goose no return forest, and the acquaintance 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 Ling formed a person!

The first story told by Li Xuanji is a bizarre adventure, the second story is what was done in the imperial city, and only the third story is full of intrigue and fighting, a contest between life and death!

Dao Zhen, Jin Siluan, Feng Zijing and Situ Zuiqiu were all silent, 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! Just for some trivial grievances, you can fight to the death, and only for some trivial interests, you can disregard people's lives! I sent my little junior brother out of the mountain to almost harm him, and my senior brother is really ashamed in his heart!"

"Senior Brother in charge, don't say that!" Li Xuanji hurriedly stopped: "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." Entering the WTO to practice is also a process that cultivators must go through, so what danger is there to talk about? Senior brother, you are really a good person. 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 subdue a divine beast, but unfortunately I haven't seen a single one for so many years. And you were able to be rescued by Ryoma, not only did you talk face-to-face, but your fire dragon foal also got its gift!

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 transformed 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 horse; The achievements of the little junior brother's Spirit Fox and Fire Dragon Pony in the future are limitless!I'm starting to get jealous!"

Jin Siluan smiled very softly, and said to Li Xuanji: "Little junior brother, I heard you say that on the way back from the Pingyang Imperial City, that fire dragon horse and that little fox rescued you and helped you many times! We should thank the two of them well." 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 just outside!" Li Xuanji said with a smile, then got up and shouted out the door: "Lieyan, Jin Ling, come in and meet my senior brother and sister!"

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

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!"

"Hahahaha......" Daozhen and the others suddenly burst out laughing.

"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. With two such partners to accompany him, 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." Tell me what you want. ”

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

Before the words fell, there was a 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 and was stunned, and suddenly something flew towards him. 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 saw a ball of dead branches inside, and I was shocked.

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

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