Chapter 738 Southwest, missing! 4k
"The situation is worrying..."

With a long sigh, Chu Mu seemed to be a little bit sad.

The higher you stand, the further you can undoubtedly see.

Although the position of the Immortal True Successor was not what he wanted, there was no doubt that this True Successor was already at the top of the world of Dachu Immortal Cultivation.

Standing so high, the things you see are naturally much further away than when you were a casual cultivator.

Although peace seems to have returned to the Dachu Immortal World today, this peace is not so much peace as the calm before the storm.

The storm is coming, but it is by no means an illusion.

The ruins of the Heavenly Palace in the outer sea, the demon alliance of the three tribes, the temporary truce in the Yunlan Mountains, the endless turmoil in the southwest border...

The interests and demands of all parties are so intertwined that there is no possibility of harmonious coexistence.

No matter which point breaks out, it will definitely affect the whole body.

The other two direct disciples are Ming Ye and Yu Zecheng, who are in the middle and late stages of Jindan respectively. They have been the direct disciples of Changsheng for many years.

"Replying to the true biography, Master Fang and Master Ming went out of the city to hunt down the remaining evil cultivators last year, and they have not returned yet."

If he remembered correctly, the several direct descendants currently in Caiyun City were all from the prison-suppressing lineage.

Chu Mu stopped in front of the mansion, turned to look at these disciples, and asked casually.

Several disciples looked at each other, and one middle-aged man bowed his hands and responded cautiously:

Thoughts passed in a flash, Chu Mu stepped forward and walked along the street. Going south from the teleportation hall, only a few miles away was the Caiyun Town Guards House.

But at this moment, as if he noticed the movement outside the mansion, a majestic aura of magical power suddenly appeared in the mansion, and then, a ray of light rose into the sky, and fell outside the mansion gate in an instant.

The second-level spiritual veins are usually guarded by fake elixir monks. If there are special circumstances, a real person with a golden elixir may even be arranged to guard them.

Just like the Immortals who are currently stationed in various places, they often coordinate matters related to multiple garrison offices.

As long as everything reaches a slightly larger scale and can bring benefits to the Changsheng Sect, there will inevitably be more or less Changsheng Sect disciples responsible for guarding it.

Fortunately, without the whereabouts of the mysterious pattern, he would naturally not have to deal with the two demon spirits.

Stopping in front of the governor's mansion, Chu Mu took a moment to look at it, and a true order appeared. Several disciples of the Changsheng Sect who were about to yell out a scold subconsciously suppressed the words of scolding they wanted to say.

Among them, the one with the highest level of cultivation is Fang Qing, who has reached the stage of perfecting the golden elixir. According to rumors within the Changsheng Sect, this person was also a famous true seed in the Changsheng Sect back then. However, in the end, he was still slightly inferior and had never surpassed the true seed. To the threshold of true inheritance.

The escaping light dissipated, and a gray-white robe was revealed.

A system that is not much different from the secular state and county system.

Just like this Caiyun City, during the war that year, the person who was sitting here was a Yuanying Grand Supreme from the Changsheng Sect.

Later, the war subsided a little, and the chaos in the outer sea changed, and the powerful Nascent Soul of the Changsheng Sect who was stationed here also withdrew and left.

As for the third-level spiritual veins, or even those above, the Immortal Golden Pill Master is usually in charge, setting up a garrison, and governing more than just a fairy city or a city.

After all, the powerful Nascent Souls who are stationed in various places often have more symbolic meaning than practical significance. They are basically like divine dragons who only see the beginning but not the end. Naturally, they cannot be distracted from dealing with trivial matters in various places.

With Caiyun City as the core, there are several surrounding counties and borders, including nearly a hundred fairy cities and cities, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Caiyun Town Shoufu.

"It should be Fellow Daoist Fang who is guarding this place now, right?"

What is worrying is that those two demon souls and two divine forbidden beasts are very likely to be related to the Tianyan Saint Beast. The longer it is delayed, the result will obviously be more unknown...

All the immortal disciples immediately paid homage.

Ordinary cities and fairy cities are generally divided according to spiritual vein levels.

The functions of the garrison are similar to those of secular state capitals and county towns.

Of course, this kind of co-ordination is only limited to things under the Nascent Soul. The Yuanying Powers of the Changsheng Sect who are stationed in various places are naturally not included in this category.

The only difference may be that the concentration of great power under one body brings absolute authority.

Chu Mu nodded, thoughtfully.

Several people bowed down to pay homage and felt very happy.

According to the laws of the Changsheng Sect, every city, spiritual city, mineral vein, or spiritual plant garden, or even sealed spiritual veins under the jurisdiction of the Changsheng Sect in the world of Dachu Immortal Cultivation...

The behemoth of the Changsheng Sect is absolutely inseparable from it. It can even be said that no matter what happens, the Changsheng Sect will definitely bear the brunt!
Chu Mu raised his hand, and the real order hanging on his waist was hanging in the palm of his hand. When he arrived in the southwest, he naturally reported to the Changsheng Sect Master, and also learned that there was no detailed news about the mysterious pattern yet.

"Welcome to the true successor!"

And further up, it is often a temporary coordination.

In other areas of the Great Chu Immortal Realm, those under the control of the Changsheng Sect mostly have such a ruling structure.

"I didn't know that the true disciple was coming, but I missed you from afar. I hope the true disciple will forgive me."

"Disciple has seen a real person."

The existence of the Immortal True Biography just fills the gap in the connection of institutional rights within the Immortal Sect.

The first-level spiritual veins are usually guarded by a foundation-building disciple leading a team of Qi-training disciples, and then subdivided into various functions, such as law enforcement and internal affairs, which are equivalent to the secular yamen, the most basic level. governing body.

The Caiyun Town Defense Post is manned by a direct disciple of the Tianji lineage, and there are also several direct disciples of the Changsheng Sect who assist in guarding the place.

"The person who is in charge of the city now is Master Yu..."

This is undoubtedly a mixed blessing.

The man stepped forward quickly and bowed to Chu Mu.

"Junior brother, there is no need to be polite."

Chu Mu raised his right hand, and a surge of magic power lifted the man who was bowing to worship.

Yu Zecheng said cautiously: "I wonder why Zhenzhuan came here this time?"

"I'm afraid I won't bother you, junior brother, for some personal matters."

Chu Mu smiled and changed the topic suddenly: "Chu just heard that Junior Brother Ming and fellow Daoist Fang went out of the city to hunt down evil cultivators last year, and they haven't returned yet?"

"To be fair, it's a long story..."

Yu Zecheng looked a little ugly, and while leading Chu Mu into the government office, he spoke slowly.

When they arrived at the government office lobby, Yu Zecheng finally finished speaking. After telling him, Chu Mu probably also knew the reason for this matter.

According to what Yu Zecheng said, after the Changsheng Sect destroyed the True Way Alliance, although they regained the southwest, it was naturally impossible to uproot the True Way Alliance in such a chaotic situation. After all, the southwest is a frontier land, and the Langya family has been in the southwest for tens of thousands of years. When the Langya family was in its heyday, the so-called southwest countries were just the back garden of the Langya family.

However, as the years passed, and with the deliberate suppression and planning within the Changsheng Sect, the Langya family slowly lost control of the southwest countries.

But even so, the Langya royal family's influence and tentacles in the southwestern countries undoubtedly still exist to a greater or lesser extent.

The Changsheng Sect's so-called pacification of the southwest was only to defeat the Southwest Righteous Alliance, with the Langya family as the main body. A considerable part of the Langya family basically fled to the southwest countries in an organized manner, entrenched themselves on one side, and were still hostile to the Changsheng Sect.

It is precisely for this reason that although the Southwest has been pacified for many years, it has never been completely stable.

But this time, the two so-called evil cultivators who came out of the city to hunt down were actually a Jindan elder from the Langya Wang family.

This Wang family's golden elixir has been spreading throughout the southwest to cause chaos since the collapse of the Southwest Righteous Alliance with the Langya Wang family as its core.

From time to time, they attack one or two cities. With the power of the golden elixir, ordinary cities and fairy cities naturally have no power to resist.

After so many years of wandering around and changing places, the Changsheng Sect didn't have much to do with him.

Previously, it even angered the Yuanying of the Changsheng Sect who was stationed here, and personally took action to arrest him. However, this person seemed to be aware of the danger and lurked without any movement.

Under such circumstances, even if the Nascent Soul is so powerful, there is obviously nothing that can be done.

Later, turmoil broke out in the outer sea, and the powerful Nascent Soul who was stationed here was urgently summoned back by the sect.

And when the powerful Nascent Soul left, the hidden Wang family's golden elixir unexpectedly emerged again.

But this time, the attack was even more extraordinary. With just one person, he directly destroyed a large spiritual plant garden established by the Changsheng Sect in the southwest.

He slaughtered hundreds of Changsheng Sect disciples who were guarding the Lingzhi Garden, wiped out many of the spiritual plants planted in the Lingzhi Garden, and even extracted the soul of one of the guardians of the Lingzhi Garden.

Such evil deeds undoubtedly put the Changsheng Sect on fire in an instant.

No matter what the reason is, it is obviously impossible for the Changsheng Sect to remain indifferent.

Therefore, after the incident broke out, under the coordination of Fang Qing, almost all the counties and counties followed suit and began a nearly drag-net-like pursuit of the Wang family's golden elixir.

However, the method of that Wang family's golden elixir was really weird.

Even though he was surrounded and chased several times, and many immortal golden elixirs joined forces to attack him, he was eventually allowed to escape.

More than half a year ago, he disappeared again and was hard to find.

After this incident, at least in the Caiyun counties, the Changsheng Sect was undoubtedly disgraced.

With people's hearts fluctuating, the remnants of the Righteous Alliance rejoiced, and the situation in the southwest, which was already unstable, became even more chaotic.

The monks of the Changsheng Sect who were stationed here were also running around almost all day long and were exhausted from dealing with it.

"Is this person a Gu Dao monk?"

After sitting down in the hall, Chu Mu asked casually.

"Exactly."

Yu Zecheng nodded: "This person's name is Wang Prison, and he is the direct grandson of the ancestor of the Wang family. You should have heard of the true story of that ancestor of the Wang family."

"He is known as the number one Yuanying cultivator in the southwest. During the battle in the southwest, two Yuanying ancestors of our sect died at his hands."

Chu Mu asked again: "Has this ancestor of the Wang family died?"

"Not sure yet."

Yu Zecheng shook his head: "In the Battle of Langya, the ancestor of the Wang family was personally suppressed by the sect master. According to rumors, he should have been severely injured by the sect master and never died. However, since the Battle of Langya, this person has Disappeared, never to be seen again.”

"According to the speculation of the Yuan Ying ancestor of our sect, Wang Jie often comes out to cause trouble, slaughtering people everywhere, and plundering the life essence of the monks. I am afraid that he is using it to heal the wounds of the Wang family ancestor..."

Chu Mu took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and didn't ask any more questions.

He came here only for personal matters.

Even if the southwest is turned upside down, as long as there is no higher-level order, it obviously has nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, Chu Mu suddenly changed the subject: "I came to the southwest this time to search for some spiritual materials for Gu Dao."

As he spoke, Chu Mu raised his hand and a jade slip floated in front of him. With a wave of his hand, the jade slip flew towards Yu Zecheng.

At this moment, Yu Zecheng took the jade slip and looked at it for a moment, but he showed hesitation.

Before Chu Mu could ask, Yu Zecheng put down the jade slip and said, "This Gu recipe that you have been taught should be inherited from ancient times, right?"

Chu Mu nodded, seemingly puzzled.

"You don't know something about the true story. Gu cultivation is different from our immortal cultivation. Although their Gu cultivation is a system, the system is also ever-changing."

"From ancient times to the present, there have been countless evolutions. Many Gu Dao spiritual materials have many names, and they have even changed beyond recognition..."

"Many Gu Dao spiritual materials have either been completely lost, or have gone through countless iterative evolutions..."

"As for your Gu recipe, there are nearly a hundred kinds of Gu spiritual materials..."

At this moment, after hearing what Yu Zecheng said, Chu Mu reacted with some hindsight.

He really hadn't considered this.

The Gu Dao is special. Every Gu cultivator almost has his own unique Gu technique. The Gu techniques he smelts and the spiritual materials required for the Gu insects have undergone countless iterative evolutions due to the specialness of the Gu cultivator.

Even now, almost every moment, new Gu Dao spiritual materials emerge, new Gu techniques, and Gu insects appear.

The Gu cultivator's natal Gu insect is often his own biggest taboo, which is not known to others, let alone widely publicized.

Even if it is passed down, unless it is passed down by a single family, or it is inherited intentionally, it is probably extremely difficult for others to copy it.

This is undoubtedly doomed. In the system of Gu cultivation, inheritance is indeed the most important factor, and distinguishing between the past and the present is even more important!
Although his silk-stringing Gu recipe is an inheritance, it also records in detail the process and taboos required to refine the Gu.

But the question is, how can he determine which of the required Gu Dao spiritual materials recorded on the Gu prescription correspond to the current Gu Dao spiritual materials that have evolved over the long years from ancient times to the present?

His Gu recipe has nearly a hundred kinds of Gu Dao spiritual materials. Even though most of them seem to be still in the current Gu Dao spiritual material system, even if it is only a small part, a very small part... …

In any aspect of spiritual practice, it is just a slight mistake, a thousand miles away!

A Gu recipe is related to the birth of a Gu insect's life. Once there is an error, not to mention whether it will fail, but the final product may not be a string Gu...
