Dust covered the wooden house, which had been abandoned for many years, and perhaps its former owner had taken pity on the spider's difficult journey, and the whole room was covered with gray silk webs.

Zhang Fan's heart moved, and the Bibo Sword appeared in his hand. He poured his inner breath into the sword, and waved it casually, and purple rays shot out, and after a while, the dust and cobwebs on the pots and pans, tables, chairs, and beds in the entire room were blown out of the room by the sword qi. The slightly dilapidated wooden house suddenly brightened up and cleaned up.

He didn't care, glanced at the bluestone slab on the ground, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes and meditated. He was fortunate enough to obtain the cultivation method of the Xuanming True Water Technique, but he did not have a place to cultivate, and now that everything was ready, he would not care about the contribution of farming as the miscellaneous servant said, so he cultivated seriously.

Meditation is the method of cultivating immortals and practicing qi, communicating heaven and earth with thoughts, breathing and breathing, and integrating the aura into the dantian through the acupoints and meridians around the body, and building the foundation of the Tao.

He closed his eyes and breathed, intending to guard the emptiness, only to feel the wisps of cool qi lingering around his body, his mind moved, he breathed slightly, and the cool qi poured through the acupoints around his body, flowing along the meridians, and came to a gray void.

Above the void there was a thin layer of purple qi, and below the void was a sea of gray qi that seemed to be nothing. The cool air flowed into the void, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the center of the void, forming a pale blue spiral that was constantly swirling. The cool air is flowing continuously, and the cyclone slowly grows larger.

When it filled the void, the cool air outside no longer entered the void, and the cyclone seemed to be a bird out of the cage, spinning on its own, turning faster and faster, but the cyclone gradually became smaller and darker. It ends up being an egg-sized blue air mass.

Then, there was another burst of cool air, and the blue air mass gradually increased. Filled the void, and then, as before, the cool air stopped flowing, and the air mass began to shrink, and finally became smaller, forming an egg-sized air mass that was darker than before.

The air mass grew and contracted nine times. In the end, a dark blue air mass was formed in the void, and Zhang Fan suddenly felt a feeling of fullness after eating.

He knew that his dantian and meridians could no longer contain the excess aura, so he stopped exhaling. Wake up.

At this time, it was already the next morning, and after taking a bath, eating spiritual rice and roasted dragon shark meat, he changed into a good white robe. After exiting the door, head east.

Zhang Fan has now cultivated the Xuanming True Qi. Although the Xuanming True Qi only has a small air mass, it can barely be regarded as the initial stage of the first level of Qi cultivation. He had finally become a monk, and no matter what his qualifications were, there was hope for the Immortal Dao.

He learned from the information transmitted by Shui Yuan yesterday that there was a foundation building elder in the Beiming faction, whose Dao name was Shadow Flame, who was obsessed with refining weapons, and had been cultivating for more than 300 years (the life span of a monk in the foundation building period was about 400 years), but he had never accepted disciples.

Zhang Fan knew that if he didn't find a master. After that, when he encountered trouble, he could only solve it by himself, and he originally had the secret of Xuanming True Water. He can also cultivate alone, but after all, he has only started to cultivate now, and if he finds a master, he can not only get a backer, but also ask him for some cultivation things, such a multi-pronged thing, even if no one wants him, he can also go to the elders.

He thought as he walked towards the Flame Island, where the old path of the Flame was located. Youyan Island is in the northwest of Beiming, Zhang Fan went out of the Blue Hill, passed the Blue Spirit Island, the Eagle Pavilion and the Dharma Stage, and went to the northwest, and soon came to an island that was not very wide.

Zhang Fan came to Youyan Island, looked around, but did not see the pavilion or the figure of the Youyan Dao person, after thinking about it slightly, he understood that the island was arranged by the Youyan real person, but it was a pity that he only had a layer of Qi cultivation and could not see the reality.

He knew that the ceremony could not be abolished, so he said aloud to the front, "New disciple Zhang Fan asks to see Elder Youyan!" No one responded. When he heard that Youyan had a strange temper, he shouted again, "Disciple Zhang Fan asks to see Elder Youyan! Still no one responded to him.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan was puzzled, and said to himself: "Could it be that Shui Yuan lied to me? No." Isn't the old man of the Flame here? No way? I'll try it with my sword. ”

With a movement in his heart, he took out the Bibo Sword from the Bibo Ring, transported it to the sword, and slashed at the void in front of him with the sword.

"Bang!" a loud bang rang out. A light blue air shield appeared in the void in front of him, and Zhang Fan, who was holding the sword, didn't expect this formation to be so powerful, and he was suddenly shocked and flew away, falling several zhang away.

"Who is my ultimate magic weapon!" a hysterical roar rang out. Then the blue air shield disappeared, a rugged temple appeared, and a gray-robed old Taoist with a pale face appeared.

Lao Dao saw Zhang Fan lying on the ground at a glance, and roared angrily: "Boy, is it the formation you attacked Lao Tzu?" Zhang Fan hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, there is absolutely no ......"

Lao Dao was furious and shouted: "It's not you, who is that?" Do you think Lao Dao is blind?" Zhang Fan stood up and said with a smile: "Elder Ghost Flame, the disciple is here to study, and his cultivation is low, how can he have the ability to attack the elder's formation?"

Lao Dao glanced at Zhang Fan and said lightly: "That's right, but did you see anyone attacking the Lao Dao formation?" Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "Elder Hui, the disciple didn't see it." ”

Lao Dao snorted coldly: "If I let me know which turtle son is so hateful, I will definitely ask him to compensate Lao Dao for 100,000 spirit stones, otherwise Lao Dao will fight with him!" Zhang Fan echoed: "Yes, who is so lacking in virtue that he actually disturbs the elder refiner." It's a pity that the disciple has just arrived, and his cultivation is low, and he can't find the monk who lacks virtue. ”

Lao Dao nodded and asked, "Boy, you came to Lao Dao Youyan Island for no reason, what is the matter?" Zhang Fan bowed and said: "The disciple heard that the elder does not have a Dao Tong to help take care of the sundries, and he plans to recommend himself to help the elder and earn some spirit stones to cultivate." ”

"No way!" As soon as Lao Dao heard Zhang Fan's words, he immediately turned around and left.

Zhang Fan hurriedly said: "Elder, wait!" The old man turned around and said: "Boy, are you itchy with your skin?" Do you know that the consequences of disturbing the elder are very strict?" Zhang Fan hurriedly said: "Elder, the disciple accidentally got an ancient magic weapon, but as the years went by, his aura was greatly lost, and he wanted to ask the elder to help take a look." ”

Lao Dao laughed and said: "Boy, you will say for a while to help Lao Dao take care of the sundries, and then you will ask Lao Dao to identify the ancient treasures, are you planning to steal the teacher? With your slight cultivation, even if the old Tao tells you to see it, you may not be able to have that ability. ”

Zhang Fan was secretly shocked in his heart. His heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Elder Ghost Flame is not afraid that he will not be able to identify the ancient treasure, so he found such an excuse to excuse himself, right?" The old man said angrily: "You yellow-mouthed child, what kind of? If you can't take out the ancient treasure, be careful that the old way tells you to survive and not die!"

Zhang Fan sneered: "It's a pity that I have a good heart in vain." Then he turned and left.

Seeing this, Ghost Flame hesitated slightly, and his heart moved. Then he said: "Boy, stop! Zhang Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't turn around. He just shook his head and said lightly: "It's not that the disciple doesn't want to take the ancient treasure and ask the elder to appraise it, but it's that I'm worried that the elder won't keep his promise." ”

Ghost Flame shouted: "I am a genius of Shadow Flame refining, why do you need to be greedy for a handful of ancient treasures, if you are not at ease, you can stay on my Shadow Flame Island until the old Taoist finishes studying the ancient treasures." What do you think?" Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. The disciple still has to do tasks to earn spirit stones and practice with huàn spirit pills, but he can't stay on the island to accompany the elders to appreciate the treasures. ”

Youyan laughed and said, "You little baby, you still have so many tricks when you want to find a place with a strong aura to cultivate. As long as you really have ancient treasures, Lao Dao will give you a piece of land on the island for you to cultivate, and you can also observe Lao Dao's refining, if you help Lao Dao do some chores. The old way will not treat you badly, what do you think?"

Zhang Fan was overjoyed when he heard this. Suddenly there was a feeling of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich, but there was no joy on his face. He turned around and said, "Then do you have any spirit stones here, the disciple's cultivation is low, and he urgently needs spirit stones to cultivate." Lao Dao sneered: "You think beautiful! The spirit stone is hard to get from the bottom of the sea, how can you use it, but if you are willing to go to the sea to get the spirit stone, Lao Dao is willing to give you the territory I belong to, you only need to hand over half of the spirit stone to me." ”

Zhang Fan thought for a moment and said, "Elder, in your spare time, can I ask you some things about cultivation?" Hearing this, Lao Dao quickly shook his head and said, "No, Lao Dao, I'm very busy......" Zhang Fan was a little disappointed. Lao Dao hesitated a little and said, "But if you want, I will allow you to look at my cultivation experience for an hour every day, what do you think?"

Zhang Fan was secretly happy in his heart, and laughed loudly: "Okay, the elder is refreshing, then we will do this." This is an ancient treasure that the disciple got by chance, and it has the ability to cut gold and break jade, but the disciple's cultivation is low, and he can't tell the ancient treasure from the bad, so he asks the elders for help. Catch it and hand the Bibo Sword to Lao Dao.

As soon as Lao Dao saw the blue sword, he was ecstatic in his heart, his face flushed, and he sucked in his big hand, and then looked at the blue sword in his hand.

Zhang Fan stood aside, and the old Taoist expression appeared in his mind one by one. He just did this, he was helpless, he originally angered Lao Dao, it was impossible to expect him to accept him as an apprentice, but in order to find a backer temporarily, he had to take the degraded spirit weapon Bibo Sword to Lao Dao for research.

Although the aura of the Bibo Sword has been greatly lost, it is a spiritual weapon in the end, once the master is recognized, unless the master is dead, he will not recognize others as the master. Lao Dao, a minor monk in the foundation building period, will not have any big gains from studying the Bibo Sword, but will become more and more confused the more he studies.

After a long time, Lao Dao shook his head and sighed: "Little baby, where did you get this magic weapon, but there are still the same things?" Zhang Fan was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't show a panicked look, just said lightly: "Elder, the disciple has only picked up the sword, and has not seen other treasures. ”

Lao Dao sneered: "Little baby, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise even if Lao Dao kills you, no one will dare to say anything." Zhang Fan was secretly shocked in his heart, but said: "The disciple has heard that Elder Youyan is a dignified gentleman, not a sinister villain, is the elder really a villain, or is he a demon in his heart today?"

Lao Dao snorted coldly: "You cunning boy, don't think I don't know your little thoughts. Lao Dao also knows that this kind of ancient treasure that is difficult for even Lao Dao to figure out is not an extraordinary thing, and even if you are very lucky, it is difficult to come across the second one. In the past, Lao Dao just teased you, and you slandered Lao Dao's reputation like this. Old Dao is not rare for apprentices like you?"

Zhang Fan exclaimed: "Old man, why didn't you say it earlier?" The old man laughed and said, "Look at it, isn't this the original form revealed." Zhang Fan said: "Old Dao, the disciple really admires your advanced cultivation before he came to apprentice. ”

Lao Dao shook his head and said: "Lao Dao, I don't want you to be a misfortune, there are only two caves on Youyan Island, one large and one small, the middle is Lao Dao's own, and the east is where the previous disciples lived. Now that there are no old Taoist disciples, then the cave will give it to you. If you want to learn refining, come to my cave to find me, this is the token to open the cave and the sound transmission jade talisman, in the future, you will use the token to enter and exit the formation, and find the old way to use the jade talisman if you have something. Go and see your own cave, I'm leaving. As he spoke, he threw the two black jade plates to Zhang Fan, and then immediately entered the main hall.

Zhang Fan was stunned when he saw this, he couldn't imagine that Lao Dao was so neat, and he originally wanted to thank him, but now it seems that this matter can only be said slowly in the future. He looked around, sighed, and sped towards the small hall not far away. (To be continued......)
