When Wu Lu and the others' convoy was still dozens of miles away from Ne Yin Mountain City, Pei Lingyun caught up again, and this time he brought a young man with a tiger head, that is, the owner of the thunder attribute mutant spirit root that Pei Lingyun brought back from Dengzhou this time, Gao Tianbao.

This time, Pei Lingyun went to Dengzhou without any twists and turns, flew out of the west for 600 miles, arrived at the Bohai Sea, and then flew south for 100 miles to the land of Qilu, and it didn't take long to find Dengzhou and enter the old lady's house.

At this time, the old lady Gao has already done the ancient, and now it is his eldest son who is in charge, and Gao Tianbao, as the youngest son, is the son of the old lady Gao, who has always been spoiled excessively, and he is about to become a tyrant on the streets of Dengzhou, which makes his eldest brother have a headache.

And now there are masters who are willing to accept Gao Tianbao as an apprentice, which is naturally a thousand and ten thousand promises when the eldest brother is a big brother, plus Pei Lingyun showed a spell, which also made Gao Tianbao, who is good at dancing knives and guns, happy, and immediately agreed to go to Changbai Mountain to practice with Pei Lingyun.

There were no twists and turns in this round trip, and it only took a day and a night to count the high heaven to protect the family.

As soon as Gao Tianbao arrived at the convoy, he naturally became a small group with Wu Lu and Zhou Luowei, and Shibata Sen thought that it was difficult for him to be recognized by these Ming people, so he was no longer with Wu Lu and them, but diligently saddled up for Yan Long'er, like a house slave.

Wanyan Long'er was also very satisfied with this little junior disciple who was at the first level of Qi training, and pointed out a lot of cultivation tricks to Shibata Sen along the way. Although some of these tricks, Shibata Mori already knew, after all, his last master was a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, but he still showed great respect for Wanyan Long'er, and every time he gave advice, his face was solemn, and he pretended to listen very carefully.

And the appearance of Pei Lingyun falling from the sky made Wan Yan Long'er's eyes immediately become hot, especially when she saw the flying magic weapon under Pei Lingyun's feet, she was even more envious.

Seeing Yan Long'er, a girl with a third-layer Qi training period, appear in the team, it made Pei Lingyun a little strange. Especially when she investigated her spiritual roots, her face was slightly stiff, and her eyes even looked at her with some jealousy.

Wanyan Long'er is actually also a Heavenly Spirit Root owner, and the Spirit Root only has one attribute, that is, metallicness.

You must know that Wan Fayi has already collected a Heavenly Spirit Root attribute owner, and this time Pei Lingyun actually collected another Heavenly Spirit Root owner, which is unique even in the cultivation world on the other side of the teleportation array. You must know that in the cultivation realm, the possession of the Heavenly Spirit Root is an excellent spirit root attribute that is unique in a million.

But the strange thing is that according to Wan Yan Long'er, she has been practicing the basic exercises with Hu Xiaoling, that is, Hu Daxian, for more than four years, how can she only practice the third layer of the Qi period?

Pei Lingyun carefully interrogated and realized that what Hu Xiaoling practiced for Yan Long'er was the lowest level of the Five Elements Basic Exercise that Pei Lingyun casually threw to her, this kind of exercise is to absorb the aura of the Five Elements Heaven and Earth into the body, and then condense it into mana through the operation of the spiritual root. If it is a miscellaneous spiritual root such as the four attributes and five attributes, then the five elements foundation exercises are the most effective cultivation exercises. But for the Heavenly Spirit Root, the best exercise is naturally a single attribute exercise, according to the attribute of the Heavenly Spirit Root, the most suitable for Wanyan Long'er to cultivate is the metal exercise.

Fortunately, at this time, Yan Long'er's cultivation is still shallow, and it is still too late to replace the exercises. Pei Lingyun rummaged through the storage bag, and finally found a metal technique for Wan Yan Long'er, ready to rip it out of the jade slip and let Wan Yan Long'er learn it again.

Originally, Wanyan Long'er didn't know who Pei Lingyun was, but at most she felt that her cultivation should be very high. But when the Haixi Jurchens, who had already bowed respectfully on the side, mentioned that Pei Lingyun was a shaman immortal master, Wanyan Long'er reacted, it turned out that Pei Lingyun was a master of the world who pointed out her master, and if she really had to count her seniority, Pei Lingyun was still her ancestor.

After Yan Long'er put away her arrogance, she knelt down obediently, and thanked Pei Lingyun for giving her exercises.

This time, Pei Lingyun no longer left the convoy to continue collecting the owner of the spiritual root, but came to the mountain city of Neyin with the convoy.

Let's say that this is a city, but in fact, it is a stockade built by the water and backed by the mountains. However, this village is very large, more than 1,000 people live in it, the village is all made of wood, the most eye-catching thing is the huge skeleton bull head on the gate of the village, black eyes, staring straight at the people in front of the gate.

There are also many forts scattered outside the stockade, and between the forts are large fields of land. It's just that at this time, the fields are covered with snow in the cold winter, and you can't see it if you look closely.

Unlike the Haixi Jurchens, the Jianzhou Jurchens have begun large-scale farming, which also makes the population of the Jianzhou Jurchens far larger than the Haixi Jurchens.

After all, the Neyin Department of Changbai Mountain also belongs to the Jianzhou Jurchens, and they were civilized relatively early, and they have already started farming. But the warriors in the Neyin tribe still have not lost their fishing and hunting skills, whether they are fishing in the water or hunting in the mountains, they are all good hands.

The convoy arrived in front of the gate, and the guard at the head of the gate talked to Shu Lengge for a few words before calling to open the gate.

As soon as the door opened, a middle-aged man in a robe greeted Shu Lengge with a smile on his face, and punched his giant bear-like body in the chest: "Shu Lengge, you bear has finally come to my Neyin Department as a guest." ”

Shu Lengge also laughed, and then talked to the man in the robe. And this man in the robe is the chief of the Yin Department.

After Yan Long'er got off the horse, she stepped forward briskly and saluted: "Uncle Sowen, Long'er is here to greet you." ”

"Okay, good!" Sou Wen Lu Chang glanced at Wan Yan Long'er and said: "My niece is talented and intelligent, Hu Daxian always has to praise Long'er a few times a day." Shulenge, you've got a good daughter!"

Shu Lenger laughed heartily, obviously Sou Wen's words were just what he wanted.

At this moment, an old woman with a yellow complexion and white temples came to the gate of the village, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she was carefully examining the people in the horse team.

This old woman is fat, wearing a wide robe, and she walks from side to side, but this is the person who is Hu Xiaoling and Hu Daxian who are highly respected by the villages and tribes around Changbai Mountain.

"Master!" Wan Yan Long'er walked to Hu Daxian in a well-behaved manner, crossed her hands on her chest, and bowed respectfully. When I looked up again, I saw that this Hu Daxian Master was already full of tears in his eyes, and Wanyan Long'er was shocked, but he didn't know how many days he hadn't seen him, why the master missed him so much.

Unexpectedly, Hu Daxian slapped her aside, ran to a carriage in small steps again, and knelt on the ground without hesitation and shouted: "Disciple Hu Xiaoling to meet Pei Shangxian!"

Hu Xiaoling's gift not only shocked Sou Wen and Shu Lengge, but even Wan Yan Long'er was shocked. No one expected that Master Hu Daxian, whose mana was bottomless in their opinion, would have such respect for the shaman he had never seen before.

"Hu Xiaoling, I haven't seen you for thirty years, and your cultivation has also reached the ninth level of the Qi cultivation period, this is indeed beyond my expectations, after all, your qualifications are only three-attribute spiritual roots. To be able to cultivate to the ninth level of the Qi cultivation period with the qualification of the three-attribute spiritual root under the condition that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so thin, it seems that you have not slackened in the slightest over the years!" Pei Lingyun's voice came from inside the carriage.

"A few days ago, I sent someone to send a girl from Li Shanxuan, do you have a good place to live?"

Hu Xiaoling still lay on the ground and replied: "Back to Pei Shangxian, then Li Shanxuan's family has already arranged to live in this Ne Yin City, and the disciple also asked the road chief of this Ne Yin Department to arrange a residence for Pei Shangxian and other guests. ”

Pei Lingyun opened the curtain of the carriage and got out of the carriage, she glanced at Hu Xiaoling who was kneeling on the ground, and then walked towards the village by herself, saying as she walked: "Very good, there is another thing you can do." Call all the spiritual root owners you have recruited over the years to me, and I will check their qualifications. ”

...

There is a large hall with a civil structure in the city of Nein, which is also made of logs. The hall was dimly lit, and in the center was a large chair carved from a boulder with a tiger skin on it. Pei Lingyun sat on it uncompromisingly, while Hu Xiaoling stood on the side diligently, serving tea and water to him.

There were twenty-one men and women standing in the hall, all of whom were the owners of the spiritual roots that Hu Xiaoling had found over the years, some of them were over thirty years old and had vicissitudes of life, while some were only six or seven years old and were still biting their fingers.

Pei Lingyun held his forehead with a headache, stretched out his hand and pointed at Hu Xiaoling and said, "These are the spiritual root owners you have been looking for for thirty years?"

Hu Xiaoling said cautiously: "Back to Pei Shangxian, the disciple was also more than 20 years ago because it was difficult to improve his cultivation, so he remembered to find the owner of the spiritual root to spread the branches, so as to expand our immortal sect, and over the years, he also found the owner of the hundred spiritual roots." However, most of them couldn't endure the loneliness of their cultivation careers and gave up halfway. There are also some who leave the mountain gate with a little achievement and go outside to show off their spells to gain fame and fortune. There are also some who bully the weak inside the door and fight for revenge and die... That's all there is to it."

"Alright, alright, I know!" Pei Lingyun sighed helplessly, originally expecting to be able to collect a hundred or so spirit root holders, who could be on a par with Wanfa, but now it seems that this idea has failed.

Since quantity can't spell 10,000 laws, let's fight quality.

Pei Lingyun pointed at the twenty-one spiritual root owners and said, "Those who have already gained a sense of qi and can draw qi into their bodies and reach the qi cultivation period, take a step forward." ”

Among the twenty-one spirit root holders, except for Wan Yan Long'er, who took a step forward proudly, the remaining twenty people actually looked at each other, at a loss.

Pei Lingyun's willow eyebrows were upside down, and with her cultivation, she naturally found that among the twenty-one people, only four of them had not entered the qi cultivation period, but couldn't these people understand her words?

Hu Xiaoling on the side hurriedly said to those spiritual root owners: "I have been blessed by the mountain god, and I have taken a step forward to obtain the power of the mountain god with the body of the immortal root."

At this time, those spiritual root owners who had gained qi sense understood, and sixteen more people stepped forward.

Hu Xiaoling explained with a smile: "The disciple recruited the owner of the spiritual root in the name of the mountain god of Changbai Mountain, so it is said that the aura of heaven and earth is the power of the mountain god, otherwise it is difficult to convince those mountain villagers and tribal barbarians that I am convinced. ”

After all, she has been in the northwest for nearly 20 years, and in the end, it is only by various superstitions and heresies that the herdsmen outside the customs respect her as a shaman, and only then are mortals willing to be driven by herdsmen.

Therefore, Pei Lingyun was not very serious about this, and immediately pointed to the four spiritual root owners who had not yet obtained the sense of qi and stepped forward to investigate the spiritual root attributes, but they were very disappointed, these four people were all four-attribute pseudo-spiritual roots, and it was difficult to achieve anything at all with this qualification.

She waved her hand and told the four to step down.

Then he pointed to the remaining seventeen people: "Those who have only cultivated for a year and have gained a sense of qi have stepped forward. ”

Hu Xiaoling said again in a way they could understand, and only nine of the seventeen stepped forward.

The remaining eight people, Pei Lingyun investigated the spirit root attributes one by one, and sure enough, the best qualifications are also three-attribute spirit roots, and most of them are four-attribute pseudo-spirit roots, but fortunately, at least the waste wood spirit roots with all five elements did not appear.

In this way, there are only nine people left.

"One step forward for those under twenty. ”

This time, there was no need for Hu Xiaoling to explain, and the six spirit root owners took a step forward. Among them is also Wanyan Long'er, the owner of the Heavenly Spirit Root.

Pei Lingyun let out a long sigh, it seemed that she still overestimated this Hu Xiaoling's ability, and in the end, there were only six people who met her expectations.

After Pei Lingyun investigated all the spiritual root attributes of these people, he understood that the best qualifications were the last remaining six people, including Wanyan Long'er and others. Among these six people, except for Wanyan Long'er, who is a heavenly spirit root, there is also a dark attribute mutation spirit root, and the other four are all second-attribute spirit roots.

"Hu Xiaoling, have you established a Xiuzhen sect in this Changbai Mountain?" Pei Lingyun suddenly asked.

Hu Xiaoling said a little shyly: "Back to Pei Shangxian, in order to facilitate the management of these spiritual root owners, the disciple did set up a sect, but he never set a sect name. Just because the disciple's surname is Hu, the guards and villages near Changbai Mountain all call me Hu Daxian, and call the sect Hu Xianmen, and as a result, it is rumored to be the fox fairy gate, and even the disciples and weasels are classified together, spreading a lot of legends of Hu and Huang Erxian. ”

Pei Lingyun smiled for a moment, she waved her hand and said: "You decide what the name of this sect is, you will still be the master of the sect in the future, and these spiritual root owners are all your protégés." However, it needs to be divided into two categories according to the cultivation qualifications, one is the personal disciple, and the other is the registered disciple. The last six people selected and the five I brought with me were the personal disciples, while the others were registered disciples. ”

"I will personally guide the cultivation of the exercises, and I will not leave the sect without my permission. Registered disciples, on the other hand, are exempt from this restriction, but they do need to deal with some chores. Of course, I reward you for every task you complete. ”

"For example, the matter of collecting the owner of the spiritual root still has to continue, and this task will be completed by the registered disciple. Of course, it is not necessary for all spiritual root attributes, and the minimum qualification must also be a second-attribute spiritual root. ”

"As long as I recruit a second-attribute spirit root owner, I will reward an elixir that is of great help to qi refining. Recruit a mutant spirit root, and I will reward three sigils, one each for attack, defense, and flight. If I recruit a Heavenly Spirit Root owner, then I will give you a magic weapon, and it will be a flying magic weapon. ”

"For the sake of fairness, these rewards can only be owned by registered disciples, and if a registered disciple thinks that he has cultivated diligently and has surpassed his own disciples, then during the sect fighting held every other year, he can directly select a personal disciple to challenge, and the winner will immediately change from a registered disciple to a personal disciple!"

Originally, those who regretted losing the selection of the spiritual root owners were still a little resentful in their hearts, but after Pei Lingyun's few words, they suddenly understood that registered disciples also had the benefits of registered disciples.

Pei Lingyun was born in the cultivation world, and in a few words, he arranged Hu Xiaoling's spiritual root owners. Of the twenty-one people, six became personal disciples, and the other fifteen were registered disciples.

After letting the fifteen registered disciples retreat, Pei Lingyun called Li Shanxuan, who had arrived in Neyin City a few days earlier, to enter the hall.

When Gao Tianbao just arrived, Wu Lu yawned because of his thin clothes. Seeing that Gao Tianbao was very interested in his bird gun, he simply used the bird gun to change a set of warm clothes from Gao Tianbao and put it on.

The two are of similar shape, and their clothes are suitable. While waiting outside the main hall, Wu Lu unexpectedly saw Li You and the old boy carrying Li Shanxuan to the outside of the main hall.

Wu Lu was angry when he saw Li Youji, this old boy hid that night to make Wu Lu and Yang Peng easy to find for a while, but he didn't want to run to this Changbai Mountain early.

Immediately shouted: "Li Youji, do you remember me?"

Li Youji was frightened when he heard this familiar voice. When I looked at it again, I found that this young man in ordinary Han clothes was the Ming army pawn who was in charge of him in the Ming army barracks.

But soon, Li Youji understood that this was not a camp of the Ming army, and this pawn called Wu Lu didn't dare to do anything with him. Immediately hugged Li Shanxuan to Wu Lu with a smile on his face. Let Wu Lu take Li Shanxuan's hand and say: "It turned out to be Brother Wu, it seems that Brother Wu also came here because of his immortal root." Great, with Brother Wu here, I don't have to worry about my little girl being bullied by others. ”

As he spoke, he said to Li Shanxuan in Korean: "Call Brother Wu quickly!"

Li Shanxuan sighed and obediently shouted Brother Wu.

Wu Lu couldn't cry or laugh, this Li Youji's face was really not ordinarily thick, obviously he saw that he Wu Lu was a ruthless person, and he actually asked him to show his daughter.

At this moment, Pei Lingyun in the hall began to call Wu Lu and the others in.

Wu Lu no longer had anything to do with Li Youhe, and led Li Shanxuan into the main hall.

In this way, Wu Lu, Li Shanxuan, Shibata Sen, Zhou Luowei, and Gao Tianbao lined up in a row and entered the main hall at the behest of Pei Lingyun's order.

And Hu Xiaoling's six spiritual root owners all stared at the five people who entered the hall, and after investigating the cultivation of the five people, they all looked disdainful, especially Wanyan Long'er, whose eyes were full of contempt.

After all, among the five people of Wu Lu, only Shibata Sen had reached the first level of the Qi cultivation period, and the other four were mortals who had no sense of qi.

"Okay, you eleven people are Hu Xiaoling's personal disciples. I don't accept disciples, but that doesn't prevent me from teaching you to cultivate personally. In the next three years, I will urge you to cultivate, as long as you have cultivated to the fourth level of the Qi cultivation period within three years, I will give you a flying magic weapon. ”

Pei Lingyun's words suddenly made everyone's eyes hot, flying magic weapons! With flying magic weapons, you can fly with flying weapons, that is the real immortal character.

Even Hu Xiaoling's eyes on the side were blazing.
