There is no time in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year.

By the time I left the customs, it was already the middle of spring when the ice and snow melted.

Early in the morning, a man and a demon drilled out of the pile of rocks, and saw that the mountain snow under his feet had melted to seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, and the remaining small clusters of snow were scattered on the earth like ringworm scabies.

Breathing in the fresh air, I stretched a long lazy waist, and my heart was very happy.

The retreat lasted nearly three months and was very rewarding.

First of all, he finally succeeded in advancing to the mid-stage foundation building realm. The dantian initially has the appearance of a real Qi "sea", and the real Qi has unexpectedly reached nearly 30 baht, which has greatly broken through the original limit, and is enough to continuously use more than 140 nine-grade runes or more than 30 eight-grade runes, and the reserves are considerable. This kind of cultivation realm, in the entire cultivation world, is of course far from very high, but it has already thrown off sixty percent of the monks in the cultivation world. This means that he initially has the ability to take charge of himself.

Secondly, he cultivated the Wooden Talisman Technique. Among them, the success rate of the drawing of the nine-grade grafting talisman has reached seventy percent, and the eight-grade paper-cut talisman has also been preliminarily mastered, and the success rate of drawing has barely reached thirty percent. After mastering these two escape talismans, he had an important life-saving reliance, made up for the shortcomings in defense, and reached a balance in both offense and defense for the first time.

In addition, he also took advantage of the gap to study the "Xuanzhen Rune Dao Detailed Explanation", and mastered the remaining nine grade runes of the Divine Spirit Department one by one, such as the Divine Hidden Talisman, which has the effect of converging the fluctuations of the divine consciousness.

Speaking of the Shenzang talisman, although this is only a nine-rank talisman, it was created by his preacher, the uncle of the heart master, so it was born with the perfect match for the "Heavenly Heart Formula".

"The harvest is so big, and it still has to be attributed to the small blessed land of Xingxuandong. The abundant aura of heaven and earth keeps my Yuan Shen in a full and awake state, which is immeasurable for both the advancement and the training of drawing talismans. It is no wonder that even if all factions in the world can't compete for the blessed land, they still have to choose to establish a sect in the treasure land of feng shui, because cultivation is simply twice the result with half the effort. ”

You Li let out a long sigh, and finally understood why the senior brother asked him not to confide in the news of this blessed land. Even if it's just an inferior blessed land, most sects can't ask for it. If it attracts unnecessary coveting, it is a trouble.

"Xiaoice, give you a task. Next, you will cultivate in the back mountain, and you must take good care of the Xingxuan Cave, except for your own family members in the Xuanguan, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter. ”

"Understood. Master, can I go in and practice when I have time?"

"Absolutely. Go back and take turns guarding and cultivating with the young owls. ”

"Great! Thank you, master!"

"What a big deal. By the way, how has the miasma poison been removed?"

"Ninety percent of the toxins have been excreted from the body, and the remaining little bit only needs to persist in long-term cultivation, and it will be naturally detoxified with eating, drinking, and Lazar. ”

"That's good. I'll go back to the front mountain first, if you have something to do, come over and have fun, don't stay alone behind the mountain, cultivation also needs to combine work and rest. ”

"Yes, master. ”

You Li waved his hand, signaling that it was casual, and then contacted the young owl with his mind. Not long after, the guy landed with a roar, flapping a pair of huge wings, trying to give the free and ice-striped python a bird hug, but they were pushed away in disgust.

Explain to the two demons again, and then drive the green owl and take the ice python to the high cliff.

Then, he and the two demons worked together to dig a channel into the waterhole under the waterfall and lead it to the avalanche. As a result, the frozen water of the pool falls down the high cliff along the waterway, forming a second waterfall.

The ice python took the initiative to leap into the waterfall and fell downstream.

You Li said worriedly: "It just jumped down the waterfall dozens of feet high, is it okay?"

"Rest assured, host. The little earthworm has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is a water-walking demon beast, and it can't be killed. With the source of living water, it can give full play to the characteristics of the ice attribute, take the opportunity to sort out the pile of rocks below, and then seal the entrance of Xingxuan Cave with ice, and then guide the flowing water through the cave to form a layer of seemingly natural camouflage. ”

Wandering nodded, then patted it on the back of the head, directing it over the top of the mountain and hovering over the high cliffs of the mountain ahead. Through the entrance of the cave, he reported the good news of breaking through to the rank with Master Xuan Yuzi.

"Master, the apprentice has successfully advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, you have to work hard!"

After finishing speaking, he waited quietly for a while, and when he saw that there was no response, he flew back to the finger mystical view on the mountainside.

At the same time, at the stone table in the cave, Xuan Yuzi sat cross-legged on the futon, her eyes closed, her body covered with dust, and it seemed that she hadn't moved for a long time.

When the voice of his own apprentice faintly came from outside the cave, Xuan Yuzi's solemn and indifferent face suddenly trembled slightly, as if he had been greatly encouraged, and the corners of his originally calm and indifferent mouth suddenly rose.

The next moment, he suddenly pinched out a spirit official finger, shaking away the dust all over his body, and a series of water bubbles suddenly appeared in the puddle not far from his side, as if boiling water.

When there was no movement, the water surface returned to calm, and Xuan Yuzi also withdrew his fingers, resuming the meridian gesture of "negative yin and yang" with both hands, and the slightly outward momentum quickly converged back into the body.

There was a dead silence in the cave again.

——————————

Looking at the face that had lost a lot of weight, Lin Qin looked distressed, pulled him to shush him and ask for warmth, and then beckoned the old man to go to make pheasant soup together, claiming that he would make up for his son.

You Dashan sat opposite, propped his head, stared at him tightly, and saw that he was uncomfortable, so he asked:

"Brother Dashan, why do you keep looking at me like this? Could it be that I have become handsome?"

"Cut-" You Dashan learned to breathe freely, but he didn't have a good airway, "It's so thin that the monkey's cheeks are sharp-mouthed, and the decay is almost the same." In other words, I, as an elder brother, really envy you for cultivating. You say, "We came out of the same mother's womb, why can't I practice?"

"Brother, the most important thing about cultivation is the word 'chance'. You can't just straighten your bones and your cultivation heart will be affected. When I went up to the mountain, I also started from reading and literacy, and then I was taught the classics by the master and learned the five bird operas. It was not until the end of the one-year inspection period that he officially entered the mountain gate.

"In fact, the Xuanzhen Sect accepts disciples, it is extremely simple to say, and it is extremely difficult to say that it is difficult. Master, the old man, is most interested in people's hearts, and his cultivation roots and qualifications are secondary. If you want me to say, since I rescued you in the Qingchuan River Valley, your introductory investigation has actually begun. Your words and deeds are all in the eyes of my senior brother. ”

When You Dashan heard this, he was startled, and said in a weak heart: "No, right? Could it be that Senior Brother had plans to accept me from the beginning?"

You Li rolled her eyes, "You're thinking too much." Senior brother is not an immortal, how can he know that you are my brother from the beginning? This sect recruits disciples to look at their gravity, and naturally they listen to their words and observe their deeds, not only in their hearts, but also in their deeds. The monk's insight and memory are far stronger than those of ordinary people, and your every move is naturally recorded by the senior brother. ”

You Dashan tried hard to recall his past "bad deeds", and couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

You Li smiled: "Don't worry." You can rest assured that you and your father and mother will practice the Five Fowl Opera diligently, as well as the simple method of breathing, it will not hurt. ”

"Okay! With your words, my cheap brother is really relieved and ashamed. ”

"A family doesn't speak two words. You have suffered outside for so many years, and your father and mother are distressed. Fortunately, after entering the Taoist register, the hard days are gone. ”

Half an hour later, the family had lunch together under the apricot tree in the front yard, warm and reunited.

Before preparing the prayer before the meal, he looked left and right and asked, "Where is the senior brother?"

You Mingda replied: "He went down the mountain early in the morning. said that there was a bidding meeting held in Qingyun Village, and that he was invited. ”

"Bidding meeting?" you immediately knew what was going on.

The bidding for the mining rights of the Jinwu stone mine is still pending. At the first bidding meeting last year, the Firmament Faction, the Jade Dragon Mountain and the Tianyin Faction won the three places designated by the Anxi Prefecture Prefecture, and the Ink Craftsman, Fang Huaiyuan, and Qiuweishan Alliance finally returned.

Originally, I thought that this matter was finalized, but who knew that the Ministry of Mines and Metallurgy temporarily received an urgent decree issued by the Ministry of Household Affairs in Beijing, severely reprimanding the Anxi Prefecture side for exceeding its authority, and explicitly suspending the sale of mining rights until the newly appointed Anxi Road transfer envoy arrived, and then made plans.

This change gave Inksmith, Fang Huaiyuan, and Qiu Weishan great hope that this fragile temporary alliance could be maintained.

The outside world didn't know Fang Huaiyuan's identity before, until the last time Fang Huaiyuan and Zhai Biqing's mother and son were blocked by Nanmu Daoren and his party on the top of Qingyun Mountain, and a huge battle broke out, then the gossip came out, saying that the Wanling Pavilion of Wanling Mountain also coveted this golden black stone mine and allied with the Mo family.

The ink craftsman is skilled in mechanical arts, and the Wanling Pavilion is skilled in forging, and the alliance of these two major sects is undoubtedly extremely impactful, and it has brought great variables to the bidding meeting that originally had no suspense.

It was rumored that there were noses and eyes outside, and the Mo family Zhai who was in the center of the whirlpool was very calm. Because this kind of rumor is not harmful to them, and their small alliance actually has an ally that is even more hidden - the Zhenxuan faction, who is also the landlord of Anxi Road.

If it was put aside half a year ago, even if Wanling Pavilion really participated, Zhai Biqing still felt that he was not sure, after all, the strategy of the imperial court was very clear, and this mining must give priority to the local sect of Anxi Road.

Although they have united Qiuwei Mountain in Shengshan County, this is just a small faction that does not enter the stream, and neither it is large or powerful, and it is not able to afford mining. Although the True Xuan Sect ranked last in the second-class sect, because Xuan Yuzi, as the head of the sect, had already retreated, he could not really play the sign of the True Xuan Sect.

Now that Liu Zai has returned to the mountain, the situation is very different. He is a real Jindan period high cultivator, and he is also the head of the sect, and he is a person who can speak. In this way, there is no need for the True Xuan Sect to shrink into the background.

Thinking of these changes, You Li instantly guessed Zhai Biqing's mother's plan, and couldn't help but sigh.

Master Xuan Yuzi was originally just out of personal friendship with Wanling Mountain, and was willing to support Fang Huaiyuan, who was alone behind his back, in order to prevent the situation of infringing on Fang Huaiyuan's interests due to the power of the ink craftsman. No one expected that the large number of golden crow stone mines stored under the three mountains of Yunfu Mountain, Qingyun Mountain, and Luanming Mountain would actually attract the attention of all forces in the cultivation world.

"She's asking our True Xuan Sect to come to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, it's really calculating. ”

After figuring out these joints, Youli quickly finished the meal, said to his father and brother, "Go and go back", then called Qingxiao and quickly rushed to Qingyun Village.

When passing by Xingwang Village between Xiaogu Mountain and Luanming Mountain, the wandering specially let the green owl lower the height and have a bird's-eye view of the situation in the village. During the New Year, the village held a large-scale Yellow Urn Dharma to summon the souls and refine the souls of the soldiers who died in battle.

At this time, the entire Xingwang Village was full of yellow spirit flags. And where the house that Youli had seen before was located, a huge incense burner was placed, which was filled with dense requiem incense, comforting the souls of 50,000 heroes in the sky.

After staying for a while, Youli finally decided to do the right thing first, and then go to pay a stick of incense when he was free afterwards.

The green owl continued to spread its wings, and when it flew over Luanming Mountain, it saw the scattered waste rocks on the top of the mountain, even if it was dozens of zhang high, he could feel the terrifying mana aftermath.

He had asked Fang Lide to review the battle of Luanming Mountain, and according to Fang Lide, the ruins below were caused by the blow of the Great Elder of the Shangqing Sect to the Void Sage.

He didn't dare to stay longer, so he immediately drove the bird away.

It didn't take long to finally see the more prosperous Qingyun Village from afar.

landed in the mountains and forests south of the village, put away the green owls, and quickly rushed to the village. came to Qingyuan Restaurant and explained the situation to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper said:

"The little guest officer doesn't know, my owner has gone to the Pit Metallurgical Division. Don't you know? Today is the day of the second auction, and they are all going to participate in the bidding. ”
