"Is that true? Daoist friends can actually refine the elixir? The four of Lingyun Daojun stood up in shock.

Seeing this, Chu Ran also stood up and hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Seriously, Master has taught me the way of alchemy, although it is only an introduction, but the elixir refined should be enough in Blue Star." ”

Thinking that they could break through the Yuan Infant in their lifetimes, the two of them couldn't hide their excitement, so Lingyun Daojun still said on behalf of the two sects: "In this case, the old Dao Master Yiran led everyone under his disciples to set off together to help Dao Xuan Dao friends find spiritual plants!" ”

"No need, no one knows the spirit plant except me, I'll just find it myself." Seeing that Chu Ran was so resolute, the two no longer insisted, and everyone talked until the second half of the night before they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Chu Ran got up early in the morning, and when he had nothing to do, he wandered to the martial arts arena, but saw that the martial arts arena was crowded with people, and it was a lively scene. Seeing Chu Ran coming to the martial arts arena, Yanzhen Daoist immediately walked over from the front of the team, bowed to Chu Ran and said, "Good morning, senior, there is still a little time before mountaineering, why don't you rest for a while, senior?" ”

'Just kidding! I'm also a monk, I have endless energy, and I still need to sleep? Wait until it's too late for you to laugh at you? Where is there still the style of predecessors!! Although Chu Ran thought so in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface, and replied with a kind smile: "Yo! Master Yanzhen is early, I don't have to sleep, come over early in the morning to join in the fun. So, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while and then entered the queue to participate in the ceremony. There were three queues in the martial arts arena, a team of the Cultivator Sect, a team of the Cultivator Sect, and the guests of the other sects and factions formed a team, looking at about one hundred and ten people, Chu Ran was naturally arranged into this queue.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, with the word "up" from Lingyun Daojun, the head of the Shangqing Palace, the huge festival procession went to the top of the mountain. After coming to the top of the mountain, Chu Ran found that this place was extremely open, hundreds of people gathered here but it was not crowded, looking around, surrounded by mountains, mountains and mountains, and the fog was boundless. The top of the mountain is extremely flat, it seems to have been dug artificially, the center is a circular altar, white marble is piled up, the flying dragon and phoenix are carved at the railing, climb the steps, the center of the altar is a stone tablet, more than six meters high, on the book: Shangxian Wuji Tianzun Edict, town!

With the arrival of everyone, the mountain sacrifice ceremony officially began, I saw Lingyun Daojun dressed in a golden robe, holding a short sword carved from jasper, came to the center of the altar, first bowed to the stone tablet three times, and then chanted in his mouth, and began to wield a jasper short sword in his hand. I don't know if it's an illusion, as Lingyun Daojun's ceremony progresses, Chu Ran found that the word "town" on the stone tablet faintly exudes a faint golden halo, and then he turned his head and quietly asked Yanzhen Daoist: "Master Yanzhen, what is this mountain sacrifice ceremony for?" Pray for the balance of the world or the peace of the country? ”

"Seniors, poor Dao only knows that this ceremony is held once every ten years, and the head of the sect once said that this move is to pray for the blessing of the people of Tianhua Kingdom, but the specific function is unknown." Yanzhen Daoist replied respectfully, it stands to reason that as Yanzhen's predecessor, Chu Ran was a master, which was really unbearable for him, but it was difficult to stop it, so he had to accept the title of master.

"Oh, it seems that we have to wait for the end of the ceremony and consult Master Lingyun in detail. And..."Before Chu Ran finished speaking, there was a sudden chill in his heart, and then the whole person was in a trance, and he was about to faint. At the same time, Chu Ran's eyebrows lit up, and then Taixuan's voice sounded in his mind: "Rather guard your mind and eliminate distracting thoughts!" Gather the aura in the sword seal! According to Taixuan's instructions, Chu Ran gathered the aura to the eyebrow mark, and then the eyebrow mark shot out a golden light with lightning speed, submerged into the stone stele, and with the disappearance of the golden light, Chu Ran heard a painful roar of "ah" from under the stele, as if he had been hit hard, and then returned to calm again, and then the eyebrow mark disappeared again, and Chu Ran's mental condition also returned to the same as before. All this happened in the light of light, and it did not attract the attention of the people around him.

"Master, what happened to me just now? Aren't you in retreat, why are you out of the retreat? At this time, perceiving that no one had found out, Chu Ran asked Taixuan in his mind why he left the customs in advance.

"Apprentice, the teacher suddenly felt a threat during the retreat, so he urgently ended the retreat, and as soon as Fang came out, he noticed that a soul attack had hit you, causing the reaction of the sword seal, so the teacher reminded you to fight back." According to common sense, if it weren't for the fact that he was in a remnant soul state now, it would be difficult for someone to give Taixuan a sense of threat, since it could make Taixuan feel dangerous, presumably the person who launched the soul attack just now must be an existence beyond the Blue Star or even the Hongmeng Star Domain. "As a teacher, I can feel that under this stone tablet, there must be a very dangerous existence for Blue Star." Taixuan is by no means alarmist, if the suppression here comes from the upper realm, Blue Star and even the entire Hongmeng Star Domain will face annihilation.

"What? Master, are you saying that there is something suppressed inside under the stele? Chu Ran's face was incredulous, you must know that the aura of the Blue Star is thin, according to the cultivation system of the Tianhua Kingdom, it is already difficult to achieve the Yuan Infant to ascend to the sky, how can there be an existence that surpasses the Blue Star?

"Indeed, in the eyes of the teacher, this so-called mountain sacrifice ceremony should be a sealing array, and the sword-wielding person in the middle should be performing some kind of method to strengthen the seal." Tai Xuan paused, and then said: "Disciple, you see, the word 'town' on the stone tablet changes its halo with the moves of the sword-wielding person, and the word 'town' means suppression. For the teacher, the imprint on this word seems to be the method of sealing the unique door of a certain sect in the upper realm, if the teacher is not mistaken, it should be the town of the Moon Hidden Sect in the Qingcang Realm. ”

"Moon Hidden Sect? Town-level decision? Chu Ran silently wrote down this sect in his heart, presumably the master of the old man Cangwu came from this sect, if he had the opportunity to go to the Qingcang Realm in the future, he would visit the door and inform him of the sect inheritance of the Moon Yin Sect in Lanxing. Without thinking about it, Chu Ran then asked, "Master, just now the sword shot a blow, and I vaguely heard the thing screaming. ”

"That's nature, although the teacher is a remnant soul, but as a person from the immortal realm, the sword mark given to you by the teacher is not easy for anyone to crack, even if the supreme existence of the Nine Realms of Tianxuan, the land immortal, it is impossible to crack this sword mark. But..."Tai Xuan thought for a moment, and then spoke again: "Although this sword mark is powerful, it complements your realm, and when your realm is insufficient, the attacks you can resist are limited, and fortunately, the existence of the stone tablet is at most the strength of the Yin and Yang realm, and if it is a little higher, it will be difficult for the teacher to help you resist this attack." It is estimated that this little guy will experience your abilities for some time, and then go back to retreat as a teacher. After speaking, Taixuan's voice disappeared from Chu Ran's mind.

Hearing that Taixuan had entered the retreat again, Chu Ran thought to himself, after the ceremony, he had to ask Lingyun Daojun what was going on? As Lingyun Daojun put away the short sword, lit three incense sticks and inserted them on the stove in front of the stele, the ceremony was over, and then everyone returned to the Shangqing Palace to enjoy vegetarian food.

After using Su Zhai, Chu Ran stopped Lingyun Daojun and Master Zhiran: "The two of you will stay, after participating in today's ceremony, I have some questions I want to ask the two of you, can we go to the side hall to talk?" ”

The two glanced at each other, as if sensing that something was wrong, then nodded, and led Chu Ran to the side hall. As soon as Fang sat down, Chu Ran began to ask: "Master Lingyun, this mountain sacrifice ceremony is not as simple as praying for smooth weather and peace for the country and the people, right?" Lingyun Daojun smiled awkwardly and replied: "It seems that Dao Xuan Daoist has discovered some clues, yes, this is not a blessing, but a reinforcement of the seal!" Seeing Chu Ran's confident and unfamiliar look, Master Ran, who had not spoken for a long time, also spoke: "Fellow Daoist, an evil thing has indeed been suppressed under the stone tablet, and once this evil thing is born, it will definitely make Blue Star fall into a state of no return. ”
