The Lingshan Mountain Range in Lingzhou traverses the entire Lingzhou, stretches for thousands of miles, is majestic and magnificent, and the name of Lingzhou is also because of Lingshan. Because it is located in the eastern part of the Chu State, the entire Lingshan Mountain Range has continuous rain all year round, and the mountains are lush and green, and the trees and vegetation are abundant.

As one of the many main peaks of Lingshan Mountain, Lingxiu Peak is less than 100 miles away from Xia Hai City, and there is a legend of immortals giving swords in local legends.

Lingxiu Peak is one of the most famous scenic spots in Xia Hai City, and it is famous in the entire Chu country, although the scenery of Lingxiu Peak is pleasant, but it can be famous in Chu not because of its scenery, but because the famous Lingshan Sword Sect is located here.

As the top three of the top ten sword sects in the Chu State, the Lingshan Sword Sect competed with the Qinglian Sword Sect in Lanzhou and the East China Sea Sword Sect in Qiongzhou, and its reputation resounded throughout the Chu State. In particular, Lu Xianyuan, the sect master of the Lingshan Sword Sect, is a master-level master of the Heavenly Rank, and the Lingshan True Thunder Sword Technique is unpredictable, and the wind and thunder are howling, which is very good.

Zhang Yifan sneaked into the Lingxiu Peak where the Lingshan Sword Sect was located that night.

Although there are countless bright posts and secret posts on the way up the mountain, under Zhang Yifan's invincible induction, he easily bypassed it with his flying skills. At this time, he was hiding in a small firewood house, and began to collect information with his sensing ability.

The location of the head of the Lingshan Sword Sect - Sword Immortal Residence.

"Senior Brother Head, we have been looking for a long time down the mountain and have not found any trace of Senior Brother Xu Ping. ”

"Well, I see, how did the thing that asked you to check before?"

"Well, there are some eyebrows, Senior Brother Wu Lei and others are indeed related to Jia Jin's sale of illicit salt. ”

"Is Xu Ping involved?"

"This..."

"Hmph! You dare to hide it from me!"

"The senior brother in charge is angry, but the senior brother doesn't dare. Senior Brother Xu Ping did get involved, and... Or the mastermind. ”

"Damn it!"

"Senior Brother in charge, I got the news that the Six Gates have begun to investigate the Lingzhou Illicit Salt Case, Senior Brother Xu Ping, I am afraid that they will not be able to get out of the matter, and it is very likely that they will implicate the Lingshan Sword Sect, how do you think this matter will be handled?"

"Well, imprison Wu Lei and them together, and take care of them, and those who don't listen to the order will be dealt with according to the door rules. Quickly find Xu Ping, and tell him to come back to see me immediately!"

"Yes. ”

"Did you recruit the person I captured the day before yesterday?"

"We tried all sorts of things, but the man was so stiff-mouthed that he didn't say anything. ”

"Take good care of that person, it should be someone from the government, and it should be able to save Xu Ping's life in the end. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Yifan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Lu Xianyuan talking to another person, it seems that only a few people in the Lingshan Sword Sect are involved in the private salt case, so the pressure on the six doors is much less.

Just when Zhang Yifan was hesitating to follow the man to find clues about the people in the official mansion that Lu Xianyuan said, Lu Xianyuan also came out of the Sword Immortal Residence at this time, and looking at the direction he was traveling, he should be going to the back mountain. Seeing this, Zhang Yifan decided to follow Lu Xianyuan first after thinking about it.

Because of Lu Xianyuan's strong martial arts, he was afraid that he would notice it, Zhang Yifan followed Lu Xianyuan from a distance, more than 100 zhang away from him, and he was not afraid of losing it.

Lu Xianyuan walked briskly on the rugged mountain road, as if walking on flat ground, and after a while, he came to a lush mountain col, and a huge stone next to it was written "Death to those who trespass on the forbidden land!" Several large red characters, under the illumination of the moonlight, looked particularly hideous.

Zhang Yifan hid in a hidden slit in the rocks and did not enter the col. Because the entire col is not large, his sense can cover the entire area. I saw Lu Xianyuan walking straight to a mountain wall, and then 'click, click..' The sound sounded, and a cave entrance appeared in front of Lu Xianyuan, and then he entered the cave, 'Click... Click...', and then the cave was blocked again.

Zhang Yifan then observed the cave with induction, and found that the whole cave is actually not big, about four or five zhang square, about two zhang high, there is a statue of a zhang high inside, and there is an offering table and three tuanpu in front. At this time, Lu Xianyuan was sincerely burning incense and kneeling.

"Unfilial disciple Lu Xianyuan, ashamed of the ancestor, in the past three hundred years, none of the core disciples of the Lingshan Sword Sect have the qualifications to learn the ancestral immortal method, inherit the patriarch's mantle, and find the immortal fate. At this time, the sect encountered another disaster, and asked the ancestor for blessing. ”

After staying in the cave for nearly half an hour, Lu Xianyuan returned the same way. Zhang Yifan hesitated for a moment and did not continue to follow Lu Xianyuan, but prepared to enter the cave to take a look.

Before coming to the cave, he stood for a while and didn't see a sound, and the entrance of the cave did not appear, Zhang Yifan knew that there should be a mechanism here.

He looked left and right, and saw a bulge behind a stone that was inconspicuous. Curious, Zhang Yifan pressed it with his hand, and then the previous sound sounded, and the entrance of the cave appeared in front of him.

After entering the cave, he found the mechanism inside, closed the door, and entered the cave. The cave was as bright as day, surrounded by glowing stones of the kind he had seen several times before, illuminating the entire cave clearly.

The statue located in the middle of the cave can only be seen when you look closely, and Zhang Yifan's previous induction can only sense approximately.

The statue is carved from jade, white and jade-colored, and depicts a middle-aged man with a long sword on his back, a Taoist robe, and a long beard. The middle-aged man's whole person looks fairy-like, which makes people admire.

Zhang Yifan subconsciously used his induction to probe the whole body of the statue, and suddenly his induction seemed to be absorbed by something, and it disappeared without a trace, and then his eyes went black, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, obviously injured.

Zhang Yifan was shocked and angry at this time, he didn't know who was plotting, and his head felt extremely painful, as if someone was stabbing his brain with a sharp object. It took him a while before he regained his strength.

Then Zhang Yifan looked at the statue in front of him again, and he felt that this statue was strange!

When he looked at the statue again at this time, Zhang Yifan felt that this statue was a little unfathomable.

"Huh?" Zhang Yifan found that there seemed to be some gaps in the statue's eyes, and it was difficult to detect it if he didn't look carefully.

At this time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and saw him step forward and press his hands on the two eyes of the statue, and then he heard a 'click' sound, and a piece of the back of the statue's head protruded, and a small purple wooden box was placed on it.

Sure enough, there was a mechanism, Zhang Yifan saw that his guess was good, and he was a little happy to take the small purple wooden box.

Looking at the small purple wooden box in front of him, this time Zhang Yifan released a little induction, and with one touch, he quickly disconnected, and it was this small purple wooden box that absorbed his own induction before and caused him to be injured!

After carefully opening the small wooden box, he found that it was actually a storage bag. This bag is larger than the two bags I got before, and it's more elaborate.

Zhang Yifan wasn't sure if he could open it, but he decided to give it a try, and to his surprise, he opened it easily. When he looked at the storage bag, he couldn't help but jump for joy. After a burst of dazzling light, the things in the storage bag were placed in front of Zhang Yifan.

A dark gold thing resembling a book page, a strange runic paper with a sharp token-like image painted on the surface and other symbols around it, a purple-gold orb similar to an elixir, three white, purple, and blue medicine bottles, hundreds of hedrons of different colors, and three jade slips piled together.

Through the miscellaneous records of cultivating immortals, Zhang Yifan knew that this jade slip was generally used by immortal cultivators to record things. When Zhang Yifan picked up the jade slip and began to check it, he couldn't stop.

Zhang Yifan couldn't help but sigh after reading the three jade slips.

Three jade slips, two of which are two pills, namely Sanyuan Dan and Purple Qi San, which are the legendary pills for improving cultivation during the foundation building period!

The Sanyuan Pill has a significant improvement in the cultivation in the early stage of the foundation building period, and has a miraculous effect on breaking through the bottleneck in the early stage of the foundation building period, while the Purple Qi Dispersion is an elixir in the middle stage of foundation building, which can quickly assist in cultivation.

This information was all obtained by him from the third jade slip.

It turned out that this inheritance was left by a great monk called the Yin-Yang Layman Jindan Period. The jade slip records in detail that he was chased and killed by a strong enemy, and was exiled to Lingxiu Mountain, because his injuries were too serious to return to heaven, so in the last few years, he established a sect to find the person who inherited his mantle, and died after leaving the inheritance.

The dark gold thing that resembles a book page is actually a kind of exercise called "Nine Yin Imperial Thunder True Formula", according to which it was obtained from an ancient monk's cave, there were originally two books, and the other one was called "Nine Yang Imperial Thunder True Formula".

The two exercises are quite peculiar, "Nine Yin Imperial Thunder True Formula" can only be practiced at night, while "Jiuyang Imperial Thunder True Technique" can only be practiced during the day, one yin and one yang, one white and one black, highlighting the way of yin and yang.

However, there is no requirement for the two to practice separately, but they can only practice during the day or at night, which is equivalent to half of the cultivation time compared to other monks, which is a big drawback.

According to the Yin and Yang monks, it is best to practice these two exercises together, and Yu Jian also said that it is best for those who want to inherit it to find the "Nine Yang Imperial Thunder True Technique" before starting to practice. But when the Yin and Yang monks explained the requirements for cultivating these two exercises together, Zhang Yifan's fiery heart suddenly cooled by half.

First, the two exercises must be cultivated to the same level, and then merged into one, and the yin and yang can be reconciled in order to truly advance. In this way, he spends twice as much time cultivating as other monks. Of course, the advantage of this is that his mana is five layers higher than that of ordinary monks, which is very attractive.

Second, every time Yin and Yang reconcile and advance, they will lose about five layers of mana cultivation, and they need to re-cultivate, although there is no bottleneck, but it will take a lot of time to cultivate back to the original realm. This is also the most fatal flaw of these two exercises. Zhang Yifan couldn't help but think of what happened to him before, and he was really a little speechless in his heart.

Third, the power of the two exercises alone is acceptable, but once practiced together, the power will increase exponentially, which is not trivial.

Of course, the qualifications required are also terrifying, the legendary Yin and Yang body cultivation is the best, this kind of physique Zhang Yifan has never heard of, followed by the Heavenly Spirit Root, the Alien Spirit Root, and the most unfortunate also requires the Three Spirit Roots.

And the Yin and Yang Lay Priest is because it is the body of Yin and Yang plus some adventures, so the cultivation of these two exercises is like a fish in water, which makes Zhang Yifan, who only has the qualifications of the pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements, speechless for a while.
