Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Difference Between Cloud and Mud

In other words, in the past two years, in the True Martial Palace, the forty-eight Divine Realm cultivators of the elder generation have all advanced to the Yuan Dan Realm, raising their internal strength to an unprecedented height. And these elders who have been unwilling for decades, coupled with the grievances accumulated by generations, when this power erupts, it is enough to destroy the withering and decaying, and make the world look sideways.

At the stage of testing the sword, the sect sent all the elders of the Yuan Dan Realm to attack with all their might, demonstrating the determination of the True Martial Hall to rush out of the southeast corner.

Therefore, it only took nearly a year to sweep away the leaves with the autumn wind and regain the control of the three realms of Zhangxia, Haiyang and Pubin, which are close to the quicksand boundary in the southeast of Hongmeng. More than 3,000 disciples entered the Three Realms, led by Xu Huaiyuan, Yuwen Yixian, Zhu Hong and others, according to the route formulated by the elders, to explore and collect spiritual materials, which greatly enriched the spiritual material library of the sect. At the same time, it has also made great progress for the disciples of the sect, which is the obvious effect of the cultivation realm relying on spiritual materials.

The most exciting news from the Zhenwu Hall is that in a certain mountain range in the Zhangxia Realm, a spirit crystal vein has been discovered, and its capacity is not yet estimated. Now, it has been personally presided over by the five Yuan Dan Realm elders. Therefore, it is not difficult to find that the actions of the True Martial Palace this time are more like a show of determination, and there is more of a secret war letter. However, the other major forces have maintained unanimous silence, and even the Immortal Society, which is not in harmony with the True Martial Palace, is also in a wait-and-see situation. The relationship is self-evident.

Since then, there has been a shortage of manpower in the True Martial Palace. Therefore, the sect took this opportunity to reduce the number of people who went to the Nine Heavens Palace to forty, led by Gong Bofu, Xiao Longling, Ao Zixuan, and Gan Qinxuan. By the way, Zhenwu Shuangxuan, who ranks among the nine major disciples, is not a personal disciple, but two disciples who have had an adventure in the secret realm of Qiankun. Now, the prestige and status of the two of them in the sect are completely equal to the other seven.

Among these forty people, fifteen are divine realms and twenty-five are condensing yuan realms. Among them, the disciples of Ning Yuan Realm are all newly promoted personal disciples, which at least shows that the True Martial Hall is not perfunctory, but is really due to insufficient manpower.

According to Gong Bofu's arrangement, everyone needed to rush to the northwest of Juancheng at three o'clock in the afternoon on May 1. But by two o'clock in the afternoon, when the number of people was counted, there were three people missing.

"This time, Senior Brother Dugu seems to be very unhappy to go to the Nine Heavens Palace!" Gong Bofu said to Xiao Longling with a smile, "In the sect, he is a person who likes to practice behind closed doors. Now, with the new Divine Weapon and Dao Method, I may be in a hurry to start cultivating!"

Xiao Longling stomped her feet and said coquettishly: "Hmph! He has a lot of things, and he has become a big disciple of the real person in charge, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself." How unreasonable!"

"Tsk! Someone must be scolding me behind my back! Isn't it time yet!" a voice came lazily from behind the crowd.

When everyone looked back, they saw that Dugu Yangming was dressed neatly, coupled with a handsome face, and his body was full of vitality. He was really personable and heroic. The slightly childish face was full of a smile.

Dugu Yangming approached, glanced at his fellow disciples, and found that the disciples of Ning Yuan Realm, except for Gong Yingyi, Fu Ziang, and Liu Junhao, did not know any of the others. On the contrary, the senior brothers and sisters of the divine artistic conception have all taken pictures.

When she saw Gong Yingyi, her eyes were stunned, and she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and when she was about to ask something, Xiao Longling urged: "Enter the formation, don't rub it in!"

Taking the teleportation circle is really familiar to him, and the spirit crystal is delivered by Ao Zixuan together. Therefore, he was the first to rush into the circle, chose a good position, and made a contemplative gesture. After the magic circle was activated, he slowly approached Gong Bofu and asked quietly, "Senior Brother Gong, which Senior Brother Gong Yingyi are you with as a family?"

Suddenly, Xiao Longling and the others next to her burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at? Isn't this funny?" Dugu Yangming suddenly said as if he had a realization: "It turns out that you are really father and son!"

Gong Yingyi blushed and glared at Dugu Yangming.

"What kind of face are you blushing at?" Dugu Yangming said disdainfully, "To be honest, you don't know how to be polite, and when you see me, you don't even call your uncle." He suddenly waved his hand again and said, "Senior Brother Gong, have you forgotten one thing?"

"Oh?" Gong Bofu frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Dugu Yangming said: "What about the three of us? Lack of elixir or something, how can we kill demons and clear Hongmeng!"

"Haha......!" Ao Zixuan laughed loudly and said, "I almost forgot about this!" However, counting the time, you have snatched the words, and I don't have time to give it." As he spoke, he took out three copies of the spirit crystals and spirit pills that had been prepared earlier from a ruyi bag, and distributed them to the three people who came behind.

"Senior Brother Ao, why don't I have the Four-Rank Spirit Pill?" Dugu Yangming looked at the things in his hand and asked, "Is this a deliberate attempt to suppress me?"

Ao Zixuan smiled again and said: "You can't wronged me in this matter! This elixir was prepared by Senior Brother Xian himself." Senior Brother Xian said, if you have any opinions, when you return to the mountain, you will go to him in person. After a pause, he said: "According to Senior Brother Xian, someone spent more than 10,000 spirit crystals to buy alchemy spirit materials, and if he is a little smart, his spirit pill will only be more, not less." The sect can save a little is a little. ”

"He's a communiqué for personal vendetta!" Dugu Yangming said angrily, "However, this thing is also quite terrifying! I always thought that by farting in Buzhou Mountain, the sect could find out at any time." I never thought that if I fart so far away, I would still be known clearly. He wondered again: "Is the sect also aware of the matter of jade?"

In this way, on the way to Chicheng Mountain in the Nine Heavens Realm, the other disciples of the Ning Yuan Realm, in front of the senior brothers and sisters of the artistic conception of the gods, seemed very restrained and said very little. Only Dugu Yangming chattered endlessly, and he also learned about the recent actions of the sect from his words.

Nothing happened all the way. By the time of May 4, the group came to the Feifeng Pavilion outside Fenglin City. Everyone originally wanted to follow Gong Bofu's earlier arrangement and stay in the city first, so that the new disciples could open their eyes and visit Fenglin City, one of the nine famous cities. The next day, we will worship the mountain again.

When the disciples of the True Martial Palace, in twos and threes, talked and laughed into the city, seven people were greeted on the opposite side. When Gong Bofu saw someone coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists, and said, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Yue, fortunately, fortunately!"

Come and say: "Senior Brother Gong and Senior Sister Xiao, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, but I'm anxiously waiting to catch up with the two of you! Today, I and a few junior brothers came here to take you to the Lotus Dock in Chicheng Mountain on the orders of the family teacher. The sect also said that everyone is the same way, and some etiquette can be waived, so that the distinguished guests can be as casual as possible, and not restrained!" After a pause, he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Gong, don't embarrass me." Moreover, the people from the Zhurong Hall and the Chaos Hall had already gone to Chicheng Mountain two days ago. ”

Gong Bofu's face showed humility, and he said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Yue, we were rude first, and we also accepted the noble faction to entertain Zhou Meiyi! This mountain worship salute is no matter what, and it can't be missing." ”

After discussing with the comer, the juniors of Ning Yuan Realm were directly welcomed by the disciples of the Nine Heavens Palace to the Lotus Dock. The fifteen disciples of the Divine Artistic Conception went to the Nine Heavens Peak to worship the mountain.

Under the leadership of the disciples of the Nine Heavens Palace, everyone turned into a small road outside the city, and when they walked to the land of about a hundred miles, they had reached the end. I saw Yue Gao's right hand raised flat, and a slanting moon appeared in his palm, and he slowly pressed forward. Immediately after, there was a slight popping sound, as if some seal had been opened. At the end of the road, a moon gate appeared.

The new disciples of the True Martial Palace, who were less knowledgeable, were shocked by this, but Gong Bofu and the others didn't seem to have any strange behavior. When Dugu Yangming and the others first arrived, they appreciated the unfathomable strength of the Nine Heavens Palace, how powerful it was. What's even more suspicious is that this Fenglin City, which ranks among the nine famous cities of Hongmeng, is completely under the control of the Nine Heavens Palace. Compared with the Zhenwu Palace's control of Juancheng, everyone was embarrassed.

After entering the Moon Gate, Yue Gao, Gong Bofu and others went directly up the mountain, and Dugu Yangming and others also went straight to Lotus Dock along the mountain road.

At the foot of the west side of Mt. Chijo, there is a plain land that occupies a circle of about 1,000 zhang, and 11 courtyards have been opened up in an orderly manner, and Lianhuawu is one of them. And this place, which is collectively known as the Nine Heavens Annex, is the place where the disciples of the other eleven sects are entertained when the Nine Heavens Grand Ceremony is held every year, and its scale is unparalleled.

Therefore, a rule has gradually been formed, and any party sent to the Nine Heavens Palace as a guest already has a fixed residence.

The group of people from the True Martial Palace took two hours to arrive at the Lotus Dock. After the disciples who were picked up by the mountain led the way to the door, they left with Edgeworth, and when everyone was wondering, they only heard the sweet voice of a young girl from the courtyard, "Senior brothers of the True Martial Palace, please enter the dock!"

Everyone looked at each other, no one had the intention of taking the lead, Dugu Yangming tidied up his clothes and took the lead in entering the courtyard. After everyone entered the courtyard, a golden jade plaque flew in front of them, and a veiled girl said: "This gold medal is the only evidence that all the senior brothers are walking within the range of Chicheng Mountain, please keep it carefully."

The sect has an order, and the disciples of the three factions who came this time will stay in Chicheng Mountain for half a month.

During this period, the first three days will go to the Sword Valley to observe the sword map for three hours, and then for five days, you will be able to watch the bookstore and read the books, and for another seven days, you can prepare freely, and if you are not tired, you can also go to Fenglin City for a walk.

During these fifteen days, there will be disciples of this sect to entertain everyone every day. All the things used are also responsible for this door, so please don't worry.

In addition, the houses in this lotus dock can be lived in by yourself!"

"No, we're not here, not as guests, but to track down the whereabouts of the primeval monsters. Listening to what this junior sister said, how can it be like running to the Nine Heavens Palace to eat and drink?" Dugu Yangming said suspiciously, "This junior sister, I don't know what the reason for this is, can you tell us a thing or two?"

"Eventful!" the girl left this sentence, looking very bored, and left directly.

Gong Yingyi said: "Senior Brother Fu, Senior Brother Liu, this matter is indeed a bit incredible, what do you two think?"

Fu Ziang held the sword in both hands and said, "Guanjian Valley, but the forbidden place of the Nine Heavens Palace is located. It is said that in the first three years, the new disciples of each term need to go to the Sword Valley rain or shine, and understand the swordsmanship engraved on the stone wall. If you can achieve enlightenment within three years, you will be directly promoted to the rank of personal disciple. Suddenly open to foreign assignments, it seems difficult to explain in common sense.

There is also the Naguan Bookstore, although it is the end of the top ten bookstores of the Nine Heavens Palace, but its collection of books is not less than one million volumes. I've heard my grandfather say that unless it is personally requested by the leaders of various factions, these ten major bookstores are open to the public, and outsiders have never even had a chance to get close.

These two things are indeed incredible, and it is difficult to understand the powerful relationship. ”

A young man with an eight-character beard said: "Judging from the recent crazy expansion of the Divine Dragon Alliance, the Nine Heavens Palace is probably conservative about the possible battles between the various factions in the future. Therefore, it is also a good opportunity to help the disciples of the Nine Heavens Alliance to advance. ”

"What Senior Brother Fei said is extremely true!" said a young man wearing a scarf, "Don't say it. As far as the sect is concerned, at the moment, we have already controlled the four realms in the southeast and south, and if we fight for it to the north, it is bound to have a conflict in the Dingtian Temple. How could the true people of the various factions not know what was going on in the veins? The Nine Heavens Alliance, which had been on the defensive for many years, might have other plans, and it was not impossible. ”

Liu Junhao said: "Well, I agree with Fei Xu and Ai Yu's two junior brothers. In any case, being able to go to the Sword Valley is a rare opportunity for a thousand years, and we can't afford to miss it, and we will not be disappointed. ”

Dugu Yangming listened to these unexpected insights and thought: "The new disciples of the sect this time seem to be really geniuses as the rumors say. Since then, the loss of the personal disciple between the fat man and the fourth child does not seem to be unjust. After thinking about it for a while, I heard other people talking about it, but no one was necessarily more convincing than Fei Xu and Ai Yu's opinions. Then he sighed softly and walked towards the room.

The layout of the room was simple, but the cultivation materials prepared were extremely comprehensive. I saw that there were three hibiscus spirit crystals on the table, a three-inch-long fine feather incense, and a bottle of the third and fourth grade elixirs. When he saw the other six, Dugu Yangming's face was hot, because he had never seen these things, and he didn't know what they were for.

After thinking about it, he stretched out his right hand, and a flame lit up in his palm, igniting the essence feather incense. A fresh and fragrant fragrance is refreshing and energetic.

After looking carefully for a while, I found that there was a scroll of silk under a jar, and when I took it out and looked at it, I knew the origin and usage of the other six. Xin Dao: "If this is explained, a cultivator of the middle level of the Ning Yuan Realm can lead to spiritual cultivation several times a day!" and shook his head again: "If this is the case, how can it still be a human being? The bearing capacity of the human body will really be transformed to such a point by these rare spiritual materials? Although I have long been able to cultivate at the Four Righteous Times, my body is extremely tired every day. If there are more than four times a day to attract spirits, this is simply unreasonable. ”

After estimating the hour, he said: "It's noon now, and until tomorrow's hour, it's exactly ten hours! I'll try it according to this statement first, and see if I can attract spirits more than four times! I hope I won't become some monster in the Nine Heavens Palace." ”

The next day, Dugu Yangming, who had cultivated seven times, did not show any signs of sleepiness, but in the process of cultivation, the whole person seemed to have been resting. When he was in a trance, he heard a slight knock on the door, and said in his heart: "Who came to knock on the door so early?

With a "squeak", the door opened, and a slim girl stood in front of the door with a smile on her face, and said, "Senior Brother Dugu, I came to exchange your cultivation materials and some other uses. Excuse me, is it convenient now?"

"Convenient, very convenient!"

The girl replaced the things she had used in an orderly and quick manner, and looked at Dugu Yangming's use of spiritual materials, she couldn't help frowning, and whispered to herself. But he didn't say much, and when he wanted to go out, Dugu Yangming asked: "This junior sister, can I ask how many spirit crystals are worth for the other eight spirit materials in addition to the three hibiscus spirit crystals?"

The girl hid her face and smiled, and said, "Senior Brother Dugu, it's better not to ask! Anyway, here, you just need to use it!"

"You'd better tell me!"

"In total, it's probably worth five green crystal beads!"

The girl said easily, but Dugu Yangming almost sat down on the ground, and said in her heart: "Could it be that this is the gap between the three palaces and the nine palaces? ”

After the girl left, Dugu Yangming lay on the bed, trying to calm himself down, a little difficult to accept this sudden shock. But at this moment, he really understood!
