Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 581: Water and Fire Shark's Naturalization Assessment
Outside Bailingque, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a scarlet robe with bright golden flame patterns walked slowly towards them.

It is clearly visible that there seems to be flames leaping around it, bright and vibrant, and everything around it seems to become excited and joyful, making people feel friendly and yearning when they see it.

Seeing this, Xiangjun's expression restrained slightly and he stood up calmly to greet.

Master Mingling only nodded slightly, chuckled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you to come here for such a small matter, but it seems that I am becoming less and less useful as the chief."

The person who came was the clone of Feng Yunxi... the leader of the five great spiritual masters of Tiannan.

There is no need to trouble the five great spiritual kings to worry about all the trivial matters in the Tiannan Yanhai.

The presence of Mingling Zhenjun, the clone of Chunyang Zhenjun, was enough to show his appreciation and favor for the visitors from Zifu State and the purebred Ice Phoenix.

However, Xiangjun and the other person had never imagined that this big brother, who had always been elusive, would actually come for this reason.

With a little doubt in their hearts, Mingling Zhenjun and the other two looked at Feng Yunxi with curiosity without hiding it at all.

The man with a distinguished and graceful demeanor nodded slightly at the two of them, then sat down with a smile on his face: "No matter how small the matter is, it's no small matter if it involves our clan members."

"Besides, what you said is not without reason. Now that the outside world is in turmoil, the multiple tests for naturalized people also show our strict management style, and can also avoid future incidents and cause trouble to Your Majesty."

Xiangjun did not comment, and asked calmly: "Is it only for these two phoenixes, or will it be the same in the future?"

Feng Yunxi looked at the two of them, laughed and said, "Be flexible and adapt."

"I don't think Minghuang will have any complaints about this."

Mingling Zhenjun and the other two also nodded slightly in response.

Although Princess Minghuang of Zifuzhou has always been aloof and self-righteous, she still respects Tiannan to some extent.

If we only add one more level of assessment, there won't be any complaints from the other side. It's not like they are deliberately targeting you or making things difficult for you.

As the two of them thought about it, they were obviously interested, especially Xiangjun, whose eyes flickered, as if he had a basket of plans in his mind.

As the person who is specifically in charge of the Tiannan Spiritual Records, Master Mingling's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to realize something in an instant.

"Could it be that you are planning to send these two to the Westernmost Land?"

Xiangjun was slightly surprised when he heard this, and suddenly looked up: "I have to say, this is a good idea... Two purebred phoenixes should be quite powerful, and they may be able to snatch that thing from those demons."

Feng Yunxi nodded gently and said with a cheerful smile: "Isn't this just right?"

"The little fellow sent by Minghuang is already at the second level of disaster, and his strength is quite strong."

"The Ice Phoenix should be the same." Master Mingling chuckled.

"In this way, you, my Lord, have gained an advantage, and gained two powerful allies!"

Xiangjun couldn't help but smile a little on his cold face and said, "Behind those evildoers, they have the support of Wu Si Lao Ni's mistress. Now let these two Phoenixes take over. I just want to keep an eye on the gigolo."

Feng Yunxi nodded in agreement and said, "That's what I meant. Just let the two little guys come forward, and then old man Qiansun will just watch quietly. Otherwise, I will have to come forward and talk to him about it."

Although this troublesome matter would not fall on his family, Master Mingling still said with a smile: "Just one thing, the two little guys you have high hopes for must not fail in their mission, otherwise, not only will you lose face, but the thing will probably be completely taken away by those demon cubs."

Feng Yunxi smiled faintly: "The little fellow sent by Minghuang is said to be the descendant of an ancestor of the Tianhuang Realm, so he must have some tricks."

"As for Bing Feng... hehe, I think she must be a powerful one as well."

Xiangjun and Mingling Zhenjun looked at each other and nodded calmly: "Since you said so, let's believe these two for once."

"But we still need their approval for this matter. We can't force them to go forward and fight the devil."

Master Mingling smiled and said, "Of course, of course. I will reply to Miyun right away. Can I summon those two for a face-to-face meeting soon?"

After saying that, he looked at Feng Yunxi and asked, "Do you want to personally give instructions?"

"Just take charge of it, I feel relieved." Feng Yunxi shook her head slightly.

Then it did not stay long, and left just as it had come, quite casually.

Master Mingling shook his head and smiled, raised his hand to summon two jade slips, fiddled with them for a while, and then threw them directly into the void and disappeared.

…………

The Phoenix shark tribe.

While Lin Xuanzhi was staying there for a while, Queen Miyun sent the elders of the Phoenix Mermaid Clan to personally deliver many rare treasures that were unique to the Phoenix Mermaid Clan, such as the Water and Fire Mermaid Veil, Water-Repellent Beads, Fire-Repellent Beads, Moon Soul Beads, Dinghai Beads, etc.

Among them, the water and fire shark silk and Dinghai pearl are the most precious.

Even if they wanted to make friends with Lin Xuanzhi, the silk they offered was only two pieces, barely enough to make a complete set of robes, shoes and socks.

This yarn is soft yet strong, yin yet yang. Even without any rituals or refinement, it is immune to water and fire, and difficult to be damaged by swords and weapons. Wearing this yarn can help you concentrate your mind and maintain your body and soul.

Compared to this, the beautiful, gorgeous and exquisite appearance is not worth mentioning.

In the heavens and myriad worlds, many Pure Yang Immortals often wear shark gauze as robes. Not only does it add to their elegance, but it also makes their path to advancement smoother than using robes made of ordinary materials.

Therefore, just in terms of robes, this item is one of the few treasures that can be compared with those mysterious materials.

Therefore, even though he only got a complete set of mermaid silk, Lin Xuanzhi was overjoyed, but also a little embarrassed.

He really didn't expect that Queen Miyun was so generous.

As for the Dinghai Divine Pearl, which only exists in one piece, it is a treasure bred by the elite of Ren and Gui in the Eye of the Deep Sea. Even the dragon clan treasures it and would never trade it normally.

He knew that he would have to leave in the end.

If he wanted to return the favor, he did have the ability to do so, but he had to be careful not to make it too conspicuous.

But it would not be good to refuse it.

Of course, the main thing is that this specialty is really good. Not only is it rare to find one, but it also shows the sincerity of the owner.

However, I will leave eventually, and it would be bad to let others invest in vain.

"Oh, it's really an overwhelming passion."

Lin Xuanzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, but after thinking about it, he had already come up with a solution.

Soon after.

A method called "Nine Turns and Seven Returns of Water, Fire, Yin and Yang to Ascension to Immortality" was delivered to Queen Miyun through Yingxin's hands.

Queen Miyun, who was already busy and exhausted, had to distract herself to receive Yingxin.

Although his Taoism is not extremely profound, it is genuine and he has cultivated his spiritual level step by step.

Therefore, with just a cursory glance, he was able to see the exquisiteness of this auxiliary method. He immediately couldn't help but show astonishment and wanted to applaud.

With the help of this method in their practice, the path of growth for the Phoenix Mermaids will undoubtedly be much smoother, and it will also increase their potential and foundation.

It is not an exaggeration to call this method the foundation of a clan's inheritance.

"Did that Master Xuanming really say that he would give this method to our clan as a token of his gratitude?"

Yin Xin's realm was limited. Although he knew the subtlety of this method, he did not have a deep understanding of it. Seeing the Queen's expression, he could not help but be shocked. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "That's right."

"The Master only said that you were too polite. He was really frightened and had nothing, so he could only use this humble method to express his gratitude."

"He also said that he knew our yarn and beads were rare treasures in the world, and he wanted to trade some to give to relatives and friends, which would be decent to give away."

These words sounded very nice, and Queen Miyun felt as happy as if she had drunk nectar. She read the "Nine Turns and Seven Returns Water, Fire, Yin and Yang Ascension Method" repeatedly with a smile on her face, and she praised it repeatedly in her heart. After hearing these words, she immediately understood.

They, the Phoenix Mermaid Clan, naturally need to take the initiative to make up the "price difference"!
Although this method is auxiliary, for those who need it, its value is comparable to the fundamental Dharma.

It was reasonable for them to only ask for some shark silk beads, and even their clan still got a great advantage.

Queen Miyun didn't hesitate at all and made the decision, "Okay, okay! The Master is so magnanimous, how can we be stingy?"

"You go ahead, I will be there soon."

Soon, he rushed away and summoned all the elders to go straight to the treasury to move things.

With such swift and resolute actions, not long after, Lin Xuanzhi welcomed the Phoenix Mermaid Queen and the four elders, who came in person with ten pieces of top-quality mermaid gauze, dozens of hu of various colored water and fire beads, and six Dinghai Divine Pearls.

The value of Dharma and treasures in the eyes of each party is completely different.

Lin Xuanzhi was naturally aware of the significance of a similar method to the Phoenix Mermaid, but this was just a temporary compilation he made based on the characteristics of their race from what he knew.

It's not impossible to say that he is getting something for nothing.

Of course, this must be a true, effective, mysterious and profound secret method.

In his opinion, exchanging it for some local specialties is really good value for money, and he won't owe the other party a favor in vain.

Such a win-win situation obviously made them all sincerely happy.

Queen Miyun and others were even more thinking that wouldn't they be able to establish a friendship after this exchange?
Lin Xuanzhi thought that since he was already here, he had to bring some local specialties back to the temple.

In this way, he was able to chat happily with a group of beautiful mermaids with a smile that made people feel like spring breeze.

But soon, Queen Miyun informed him of the changes in naturalization with a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

"The True Lord's decree states that everything is voluntary, and if the Master has no objection, I will take you and the other Young Master Lingxiao to Bailingque to discuss the matter in detail."

Hearing this, Lin Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Assessment?"

Queen Miyun looked a little embarrassed, and it was obvious that she had not expected such unexpected twists and turns and such an additional test.

But she had no say in this matter.

"Yes, a naturalization test."

"As for the details, I'm afraid we still need to go to Bailingque and wait for the True Lord's instructions."

"But this is not mandatory..."

Lin Xuanzhi smiled and waved his hand, not making any comment: "Has that Master Lingxiao, whom I have never met, agreed?"

Queen Miyun and the four elders of the Phoenix Mermaid Tribe nodded in unison.

An elder smiled carefully and said, "That young man is quite brave, so he will naturally not hesitate to show off his abilities and make a name for himself in Tiannan."

Several elders thought at the same time that compared with this Master Xuan Ming, he was somewhat unworldly and his words and attitude were inevitably embarrassing.

That's why they just took the opportunity to come together and give gifts.

After all, trying to please and make friends is one thing, but there’s no need to always suffer from anger, right?
Everyone knows what is right and wrong. They have already fulfilled their duties as hosts, and that person can’t really do anything to them, the Phoenix Mermaid.

With his mind turning, after quickly communicating with Zhong Ling, Lin Xuanzhi could not help but nod his head: "Since the system has changed, it is not impossible for me to understand."

"In that case, I would like to ask Your Majesty to lead the way so that we can meet the True Lord as soon as possible, so as not to lose courtesy."

The polite words immediately made the elders, who were feeling very depressed at the other end, burst into laughter. They simply wished that Lin Xuanzhi could stay a little longer.

Queen Miyun also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sweet smile, "Master, please wait a moment."

Then he instructed an elder behind him, "Great Elder, please go and ask Master Lingxiao to meet us on the sea."

After that, he smiled and explained to Lin Xuanzhi, "Without a guide, it would be difficult for even a purebred phoenix like you to set foot in the area outside the Undying Volcano."

After a while.

A sonorous, powerful, majestic and high-pitched cry, which was obviously provocative, resounded across the sea.

Lin Xuanzhi opened his eyes and saw layers of golden fire surging up from beneath the sea not far away.

Among them, a golden phoenix with a slender body, luxurious feathers and a sacred and noble aura opened its narrow eyes, with a terrifying golden light flashing in them, and looked at Lin Xuanzhi.

"Are you the Bingfeng? It's too ugly to wear a human skin."

The golden waves of fire swept across the sky, reflecting a golden glow.

Lin Xuanzhi glanced at him calmly upon hearing this, and Queen Miyun and the others immediately saw that in the void, snow was falling on the earth and the aurora was brilliant.

Amidst the reflection of a bright blue-white cold light, the world was desolate and cold, as if even thoughts and ideas were to be frozen.

With an ethereal cry that carried a sense of silence, Lin Xuanzhi had transformed into his true form of an Ice Phoenix, whose entire body was holy blue and white, and whose tail feathers flashed with an extremely eerie glow. With a single breath, he easily put out the golden sea of ​​fire, and the void seemed to be sealed in eternal ice.

Even the Phoenix clan, which has always been known as a magical bird, has some competitive people, even more so than the human and demon clans.

Seeing this, Young Master Lingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, but became even more excited in his heart.

"It's just as our ancestors said. This Chi Ming Da Qian is indeed full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Even a wild phoenix without a father or mother has such extraordinary means."

"As expected of my Phoenix clan!"

As soon as his thought flashed, he flapped his wings and instantly turned into a golden light and flew straight towards Lin Xuanzhi.

The golden flames surged up like waves, with wisps of purple aura of blessings lingering around its body, making it seem as if it was blessed by heaven. It easily avoided the wisps of extremely cold light and was not affected by the disaster.

The phoenix is ​​born with five virtues on its back. Although each has its own emphasis and it is difficult to be perfect without a high enough level of attainment, it still has many wonderful uses.

Lin Xuanzhi was not in a hurry, and the true form of the Ice Phoenix was not willing to be outdone. A cold light was emitted, and under the embrace of ice and snow, layers of extremely cold ice flames emerged. With the protection of the mysterious and yellow merits and essence, the true form of the Ice Phoenix seemed more and more lonely and ethereal.

Young Master Lingxiao was obviously getting more and more excited, and couldn't help laughing: "Great! This blue-haired guy of yours really has some skills, it's not a disgrace to the bloodline!"

For a moment, the sky light floated, the gold and blue colors complemented each other, and it fluctuated between ice and fire.

The laws of heaven and earth above the sea were completely turned upside down and disordered, with the sea sometimes frozen and sometimes boiling.

Queen Miyun and a group of elders retreated far away. Seeing that the two men did not fight with any real anger and were only fighting with the innate magical powers of their clans, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"This Young Master Lingxiao is a bit naughty, but fortunately he is well-educated and knows the importance of things."

After seeing the two phoenixes vent their energy, Queen Miyun immediately spoke up and said loudly: "The two spiritual masters, please quickly put away your magical powers. Business is more important!"

Master Lingxiao snorted when he heard this, and winked at Lin Xuanzhi, clearly not yet satisfied: "Let's compete to see who's faster?"

After saying that, he flew into the sky and headed straight towards the Undead Volcano!

Lin Xuanzhi sneered: "The stupid bird flies first, brother~"

Upon hearing this, Master Lingxiao immediately looked back and glared angrily.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xuanzhi flapped his wings and broke through the air, transforming into a dark blue aurora and flashing away.

"You! You blue-haired one are cheating!"
