Chapter 281: Back to the Mountain (Text)
Wu Yan stayed in Wujiabao for a few days, and in addition to getting together with his parents on weekdays, he talked with his younger brothers Wu Shan, Zhang Tao and Lu Xuanyu, and discussed some martial arts insights with them. Wu Yan actually had a trace of enlightenment from it, although it had nothing to do with cultivation, but it was still helpful for him to sharpen his magic powers.
During this period, the Yun family in Jingzhou, the Lu family in Bingzhou, the Jiang family in Tianlu County, and the Linghu family in Cangwu Prefecture all sent representatives to Wujiabao to worship Wu Yan. Speaking of which, the scattered cultivation of the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom in the immortal realm is indeed inferior to that of the Shen Kingdom. Although the scattered cultivator families of the Shen Kingdom vary in size, the largest one even has a great master in the late stage of Jindan in the family. The scattered cultivator families of the Heavenly Wolf Country are much colder, the big immortal cultivator families do not, and the ordinary immortal cultivator families don't even have a foundation building stage cultivator.
This may have a lot to do with the entry rules set by the immortal cultivator sects of the two countries. In the Shen Kingdom, if you want to enter the Xiuzhen Sect, you must participate in the five-year Xiuzhen Ceremony, and if you want to become a true disciple of the sect, you must obtain the inheritance of moral merit. However, in the Heavenly Wolf Country, if you want to enter the Futu Palace, although you must also participate in the Futu Conference, this conference mainly examines the high and low level of Buddhist exercises, followed by the spiritual root qualifications, and it does not necessarily need to obtain the inheritance of moral merits.
The exercises of Buddhism are also very different from those of Taoism. It can be said that in the entire Heavenly Wolf Country, whether it is a sect or a loose cultivator, the vast majority of the cultivators are the exercises of the Buddha Sect, for no other reason, the exercises of the Buddha Sect are said to not need the inheritance of moral merits, and in the world of cultivating immortals, you can use special Buddhist exercises to absorb and refine the demonic qi to achieve an effect similar to the accumulation of moral merits. In the future, after cultivating to the Great Perfection, when ascending, this kind of refined demonic qi can also have the effect of resisting the Heavenly Tribulation.
Throughout the Great Zhou Immortal Cultivation Realm, the most orthodox Buddhist inheritance is in the Futu Palace. If you want to practice Buddhism, Futu Palace is naturally the best and wisest choice. Moreover, exercises above the foundation building period are absolutely impossible to find in the outside world, and are only available in major sects such as Futu Palace. This also leads to the fact that among the scattered cultivators of the Heavenly Wolf Country, there are very few monks in the foundation building period, and even if there are really one or two, they will be absorbed into the sect by the Futu Palace. Coupled with the special sectarian rules of the Futu Palace, it was difficult for the Daozhì Immortal Cultivator Family to make great progress in the Heavenly Wolf Country.
If it weren't for that, the six great immortal cultivator families of the Heavenly Wolf Country would not have joined the Scattered Cultivation Alliance to seek refuge.
There was a great grudge between Wu Yan, after learning that Wu Yan was already a monk in the foundation building period, the Jiang family and the Linghu family were greatly frightened, although the Taoist reprimanded and assured, the two families were still worried that Wu Yan would kill the two families, but it was not possible to hide, the two families promised a lot of money, and invited the Lu family and the Yun family as mediators, and sent representatives to come to Wujiabao to worship Wu Yan and make amends.
After offering the apology, the representatives of the two families expressed their willingness to never dare to go against the Wu family again, and even as long as Wu Yan was happy, the two families were willing to give up some territory and let the Wu family operate.
In this matter, Wu Yan has already made an agreement with Duomu Dao, although he has no good impression of the Jiang family and the Linghu family, but it is inconvenient to worry about the two families.
After Wu Yan expressed his position to the two families with both soft and hard measures, he sent them away. Although the two families were reprimanded, they were also happy when they left. Yun Hezi, the representative of the Yun family, also offered a lot of salute to Wu Yan on behalf of the family this time, Wu Yan naturally understood this guy's intentions, but since this person had already shown his obedient side, he naturally didn't care about him anymore, and after giving him the antidote to Zhu Yanzai, Wu Yan also sent him away.
The Lu brothers were left behind by Wu Yan. After Wu Yan led the two into the inner house, the two of them were still full of shocked and incredulous expressions on their faces.
After all, four years ago, Cang'er in the old continent of the Lu family was already a monk of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and Wu Yan at that time was just a monk of the eleventh layer of Qi refining, four years later, Lu Cang'er was still wandering in the realm of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, but Wu Yan was already a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, how could he not shock and envy the two brothers?
Wu Yan asked the two brothers about what had happened in the past four years, and the two brothers naturally didn't dare to hide it, after leaving Wu Yan in 1510, the Jiang family and the Linghu family frantically searched for the murderer, but they never found it, and in the end, even the Scattered Cultivation Alliance also intervened, and they still didn't find anything to tell Wu Yan.
The reason why the matter was finally found out was related to the floating beads. At the beginning, Wu Yan stole the floating pearls, but somehow, he was finally found out. The two families followed the clues and found Wujiabao, and this time there was the matter of the Jiang family ordering the fox family to join forces to destroy Wujiabao.
Wu Yan asked about the recent situation of An Yingying, the girl who confessed to him back then, and the two brothers smiled bitterly. It turned out that not long after Wu Yan left, An Yingying also left a letter for the two of them and quietly left the Heavenly Wolf Country.
After An Yingying left, the Lu brothers were not very relieved at first, and they went out to inquire about her, but unfortunately after the girl left, there was no news.
The Lu brothers spent more than ten days in Wujiabao, during which Wu Yan did not hesitate, sorted out his cultivation experience, gave a copy to the two brothers, and also refined a Zhuji Dan for each of them.
This material is naturally used to refine the remaining part of the Five Elements Attribute Zhuji Dan by himself.
The two brothers received such a great favor from Wu Yan, and tears of excitement filled their eyes. Lu Cang'er could see what Wu Yan meant, and without saying a word, he told Wu Yan that the Lu family was determined to move the family to Yunzhou for development, hoping to settle in Wujiashan, Qingxian County. Anyway, the development of the Lu family in Bingzhou is not satisfactory, in the past two years, because of the close relationship with Wu Yan, it has been constantly squeezed out and suppressed by the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and the territory of Bingzhou has been eaten up a lot by several other great immortal cultivator families.
Wu Yan saw that the Lu family brothers were so good, and they did not waste their hard work, so he immediately smiled and invited the two brothers to participate in the Wu family's family banquet.
At the Wu family's family banquet, Wu Yan introduced his younger brother Wu Shan and the Iron Blood Alliance to the two brothers of the Lu family, and during the banquet, he naturally revealed the meaning of the Lu brothers to his younger brothers Wu Shan and Zhang Tao. The two of them were also overjoyed. Since then, Wu Yan has breathed a sigh of relief.
A few days later, the Lu brothers left Wujiabao and returned to Bingzhou to arrange the relocation of the family. Thinking about what happened before he came, Wu Yan left Wujiabao that day and returned all the way to Xiuzhenmen.
A few days later, Wu Yan returned to Xiuzhenmen again, but his mood was very different from before leaving.
Returning to the Five Elements Cave of the Five Elements Peak, what Wu Yan didn't expect was that the three senior brothers had all returned to the division one after another. Under the question, the faces of the three senior brothers were disappointed, and it seemed that the three of them were not going well in their search for spiritual land.
"Senior Brother Wu, looking at your calm mood, could it be that you have gained something from this trip?" Feng Hanxiao really deserves the name of treacherous, this meticulous ability to look at people's faces is extraordinary.
The four brothers were rarely idle, and in the hall of the Five Elements Cave, they were lying crookedly on their ordinary meditation futons and chatting.
Hearing Feng Han's smiling words, Mo Ao and Tian Qi also turned their gaze to Wu Yan. Wu Yan smiled and did not answer directly, but took out the wooden box that sealed the vine algae lotus cane. Among the four brothers, Tian Qi had the highest attainment in refining weapons, and Wu Yan handed the wooden box to Tian Qi.
Seeing that Wu Yan was so precious and attached more than a dozen sealing talismans to the wooden box, the three of them all sat up straight and looked at the box in disbelief.
Tian Qi's face showed an excited expression, he took the wooden box with both hands, carefully unsealed one by one, and opened the wooden box. He was stunned for a moment, because there was still a metal cylinder in the wooden box.
Tian Qi carefully punched out several tricks on the cylinder, and the cylinder automatically floated from the wooden box. After a while, Tian Qi pointed his finger, and the vine algae lotus cane that was contained in the cylinder gradually floated out of the metal cylinder.
"Hey, it's actually a mature 'vine algae lotus' cane!" Feng Hanxiao and Tian Qi exclaimed at the same time. Mo Ao looked at the two dark green balls of size with a puzzled expression.
"Tut, I didn't expect that my junior brother's trip was really rewarding!" Feng smiled and looked at the vine algae lotus cane stem and exclaimed, with envy in his tone.
"It's a pity that the cane of this vine algae lotus is only three hundred years old, if it is a thousand-year-old vine algae lotus cane, it is definitely a rare and superb magic weapon material!" Tian Qi sighed a little disappointed after observing it.
"I said, Third Senior Brother, if this vine algae lotus is really a thousand years old, do you think the younger brother can still get it?" Wu Yan rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, the fourth one, you said the same, if there is really a thousand years, it is not a spiritual thing. Once this thing has spirituality, it will definitely not be able to grasp it without the cultivation of the Jindan period. Besides, if there were a thousand years old, I wouldn't be able to refine this thing. Fourth, if you show me this thing, do you want me to help you refine a magic weapon?" Tian Qi, who has always been dull, may not have seen such a good refining material for a long time, and the smile on his face can't help but be much more than usual, looking at Wu Yan's gaze, even with a little flattery.
"The junior brother has this intention, I wonder if the third senior brother has time?" Wu Yan asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, haha!" Hearing Wu Yan's agreement, Tian Qi immediately laughed happily. This dull old scholar is usually the most obsessed with refining magic weapons, once he sees the best refining materials and can't refine them by hand, he will inevitably feel as uncomfortable as mourning. This vine algae lotus cane stem has a lot of wonderful uses, not only can it be used to refine weapons, he was still worried just now, Wu Yan may not use this thing to refine magic weapons.
"Hey, what are you fools all about, the relocated spiritual land hasn't been found yet, and you're still happy, it's really convinced of you three unconscionable guys!" Mo Ao snorted a few times and complained.
"Second brother, you ignorant guy, I usually ask you to read more books, but you still refuse. Do you know that the fourth child took out this vine algae lotus, which means that he has found a good spiritual land?" Feng Hanxiao usually rarely can be majestic in front of Mo Ao, who is arrogant all day long, and at this time, he caught Mo Ao's embarrassing side, and immediately laughed and mocked.
