Journey to the head

Lu Qian stared at the message on the golden paper and took a deep breath.

Jichuan Xuanjun is the founder of the Yunshan School's comprehensive rise.

Yunshan School, the successor of Jichuan Xuanjun.

For so many years, ever since he obtained the Yuanpin Pearl, inherited the Taoist tradition of Jichuan Xuanjun, and became a branch of Jichuan and the Xuanjun lineage, Lu Qian has been trying to find out the whereabouts of Xuanjun's descendants or bloodline.

Back then, True Man Mo Yun came to Yuqing Mountain as a descendant of Xuanjun, and used the secret bloodline technique to take out the Yuanpin Pearl, which led to all the subsequent stories.

Even though Master Mo Yun had died long ago, there was one thing that always puzzled Lu Qian, which was how did this master know that the Yuan Pin Pearl was in Yuqing Mountain?

While fleeing after his defeat, Jichuan Xuanjun hastily implanted the newly born Yuanpin Pearl into the spiritual vein of Yuqing Mountain, and then completely disappeared.

Not only did Zhu Ling not know his whereabouts, but given the current status of the Yunshan Sect in Cangzhou, Lu Qian had also tried to inquire indirectly and found out that the four sects in Cangzhou had not obtained the remains of Jichuan Xuanjun and did not know where this Xuanjun was buried.

Of course, Zhu Ling, as the spirit of the artifact, did sense that Xuan Jun was dead, and this could not be false.

In the following days, the Four Sects of Cangzhou gradually took power and occupied Cangzhou. They had searched many times, but the body of Jichuan Xuanjun and the so-called treasure stolen from Qingzhou were still missing.

But Master Mo Yun knows the whereabouts of Yuanpin Pearl!

This means that, at least before his death, Jichuan Xuanjun passed on some information to his descendants!

If we can find Xuanjun's descendants, we can get more accurate information about Xuanjun.

After Master Mo Yun died, no one came to Yuqing Mountain in Chongming County, Cangzhou to look for his whereabouts, and the clue of Jichuan's descendants was completely lost. After so many years of fruitless searches, Lu Qian basically believed that Master Mo Yun was the only descendant of Jichuan Xuanjun.

I didn’t expect to see such a message on the “golden paper letter” of the Wanling Xiancao Society!
Someone knows the whereabouts of Jichuan's descendants, and wants to exchange this information for a Creation Fire Pill!

Lu Qian did not doubt the authenticity of the news, because it was the "golden paper letter" from the Wanling Xiancao Society!
Wanling Xiancao Society, a mysterious yet free and loose organization.

At first, Lu Qian thought it was just a regional organization. After joining, he found out that this organization even covered the entire Yuheng Continent.

In other words, the members of this organization basically cover the entire Yuheng Continent. Because the Wanling Xiancao Association itself has no official base, all its activities are based on Haiyuan Pavilion and held in Haiyuan Pavilion.

The members of the Xiancao Society have complex identities, including both independent cultivators and cultivators from sects, both famous families of the righteous path and evil cultivators.

Whether or not one can join the club is not determined by past background. It depends on whether there are other members acting as intermediaries, and whether one can produce rare and precious elixirs.

After joining the organization, the only thing you are absolutely not allowed to do is use force during gatherings. At other times, no one cares what you do or whether you live or die.

Its senior management is composed of regional vice presidents and presidents. Generally, several states are considered a region. A vice president presides over daily gatherings, but he seems to be only responsible for organizing the gatherings and rarely appears at the gatherings.

The person in charge of the gathering in Lu Qian's area was a smiling, pot-bellied man in the late Yuanshen stage named Tianfu Gong.

The word "gong" is also a suffix of Taoist names that is rarely used. If "zi" represents a role model of extraordinary virtue and integrity, then the word "gong" should represent that this person is respected by everyone and has a very high prestige according to ancient etiquette.

This Lord Tianfu was indeed so famous, and Lu Qian had also heard of his reputation, because he was one of the very rare Yuanshen cultivators in the western part of Yuheng Continent.

According to rumors, Tianfugong has the magical power to adjust people's luck.

But I didn't expect that he actually served as the regional vice president of the Wanling Xiancao Association.

Of course, this is just a part-time job. Xianzhi Weng once told Lu Qian that the Wanling Xiancao Association was originally founded by independent cultivators to serve independent cultivators, so the vice president and president are basically independent cultivators.

Because independent cultivators do not have as many cultivation resources as the cultivators in sects, they can only help each other and share what they have.

However, as the Wanling Xiancao Club spread more and more, it also absorbed many small trading circles initiated locally. Eventually, its members spread across the Yuheng Continent, and monks from sects with many resources also joined in, which in turn enriched the resource channels for independent cultivators.

As the regional vice president, although he has no other powers and needs to maintain order at the rally, Tianfu Gong, as the initiator of the rally, has first-hand information and can easily find out what rare spiritual objects the members have brought to the rally. If he needs something, he can be the first to exchange it.

For example, Lu Qian had dealt with Tianfu Gong several times. Every time Lu Qian had just set up his stall or put his news out, Tianfu Gong would come to him to exchange for the local spiritual herbs he needed.

Because of this, Lu Qian became a familiar face in front of Lord Tianfu.

So he is known as "Qi Bailian".

In the Wanling Xiancao Society, there are also a small number of people who do not hide their identities.

Some are like Mr. Tianfu, who is skilled and courageous, while others are like Mr. Xianzhi, whose whereabouts are erratic and all the treasures on their bodies are stored in Haiyuan Pavilion, so they are not afraid of being prying eyes.

In comparison, the monks from sects with widespread connections are more careful to hide their true identities.

The gathering activities of the Wanling Xiancao Society are mainly divided into two parts. One is the free market and the bounty purchase. Members can exchange or purchase various spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines and spiritual objects in the big market or their own small circles. The transactions are mainly spiritual medicines, but sometimes there are other rare things.

The second is "intelligence exchange". Members write down the intelligence they have on a catalog and circulate it to each other. If there is any interest, they can exchange and share it. They can exchange intelligence or trade intelligence for spiritual objects.

This kind of information exchange is divided into two types: "gold paper letter" and "white paper letter". The information content of the gold paper letter is written on gold-stamped letterhead, which means that it has been certified by the intermediary of Haiyuan Pavilion and the information is absolutely true.

The intelligence catalog of the white paper letter is written on white letter paper and is not authenticated. The people exchanging intelligence need to reach an agreement on their own and bear their own risks.

When he first learned about the "gold paper letter" and the "white paper letter", Lu Qian once again marveled at the extensive business and authoritative status of Haiyuan Pavilion.

In order to ensure safety and neutrality, the Wanling Xiancao Association held all its meetings in Haiyuan Pavilion, and all members who attended the meetings had to pay a venue fee to Haiyuan Pavilion. At the same time, Haiyuan Pavilion was also responsible for the certification of the "Golden Paper Letter", and monks who needed to publish messages on the Golden Paper Letter had to pay a high certification fee.

In short, the authenticity of the "gold paper letter" is naturally correct as it is endorsed by Haiyuan Pavilion.

Lu Qian stared at the golden letter for a long time, and then casually glanced at the other intelligence briefs on the golden letter catalog. The intelligence was varied and involved many secrets, and it was always frightening to read it at a glance.

In the future, it is really necessary to consider introducing the head of the Yunshan Sect's Intelligence Department to join the Wanling Xiancao Society. By using this platform to collect secret intelligence and lay the groundwork for thousands of miles, we may achieve unexpected major results.

However, the other information on the gold paper letter had nothing to do with Cangzhou and did not arouse Lu Qian's interest.

Only this one.
Lu Qian returned to the room, picked up a copper bell on the table and rang it. Not long after, a mute servant from Haiyuan Pavilion who practiced Qi cultivation came to the door and bowed to ask for his instructions.

All the servants in Haiyuan Pavilion are Qigong practitioners, and without exception, their tongues are cut off.

Lu Qian was extremely puzzled by this. What was the point of cutting off the tongue? If these servants wanted to reveal something, couldn't they write? Couldn't they leave messages in the jade slips? Even if the monks lost their tongues, they could still use spiritual power to vibrate and make sounds.

Unexpectedly, the owner of Haiyuan Pavilion did not shy away from this and told Lu Qian with a smile.

"This is a warning. They will be reminded all the time that they have no tongue, so they will naturally not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts."

Although he did not agree with this statement, Lu Qian was also shocked by the way Haiyuan Pavilion controlled its subordinates.

Facing the mute servant, Lu Qian said: "I want to trade with the owner of this information. But I require additional information." Providing additional information means that in addition to the existing brief introduction of this information, the other party needs to provide other information before considering whether to trade.

The mute servant nodded, and Lu Qian left a few words in the jade slip and gave it to him to take away.

"In addition to the location of Jichuan Xuanjun's descendants, I also want to know the cultivation status and number of these descendants. Also, besides Jichuan's descendants, are there other people in this place? If so, the situation of these other people must also be informed to me."

After an incense stick of time, the mute servant turned around and expressed his agreement on behalf of the person holding the information.

Lu Qian nodded: "Okay, then I'm willing to make a deal, take me with you."

The mute servant did not move. He confirmed Lu Qian's transaction requirements again, then took out a jade box with many seals and presented it in front of Lu Qian.

Haiyuan Pavilion has really gone to the extreme in terms of fairness, justice and customer protection. No wonder all monks recognize its authority.

While Lu Qian was sighing, he took out a lush green medicine bag from his arms, and then took out a jade box that was flashing with spiritual light from the medicine bag. After opening them, vigorous vitality gushed out, and a round, fiery red spiritual fruit was shining brightly inside.

Creation Fire Pill!

A solemn look also emerged on the mute servant's face. He put on white gloves wrapped with talismans, took out the Creation Fire Pill, and after confirming it again and again, he put it into his jade box and quickly closed it with heavy seals.

He put the jade box in his arms and took out a bead and handed it to Lu Qian. After Lu Qian took it, the bead rippled with water, and his whole body was covered by a layer of water light, and his appearance was completely invisible.

After doing all this, the mute servant bowed and signaled Lu Qian to follow him.

After turning many corners in the dim corridor and passing through several doors, Lu Qian came to a quiet room.

After waiting for a while, another mute servant led a monk whose whole body was covered by water waves into the quiet room.

This is the owner of the intelligence.

Lu Qian looked at him quietly, and he said hurriedly: "You want to trade? Okay, let's get started."

The sound was also vibrated and difficult to discern.

The two mute servants stood between Lu Qian and the monk. The mute servant on Lu Qian's side held the jade box, while the mute servant on the other side held up a jade slip.

What is recorded there must be the location of Jichuan Xuanjun's descendants and the additional information requested by Lu Qian. In other words, after being certified by Haiyuan Pavilion, if you follow this address, you will definitely find Jichuan Xuanjun's descendants!
The two mute servants made a final gesture. If either party regretted their decision, they would have one last chance to terminate the deal.

Lu Qian didn't say anything, and the man nodded.

So the two mute servants exchanged the things in their hands and handed them to each other.

The man couldn't wait to peel off several layers of restrictions, saw the Creation Fire Pill in the jade box, and turned and left.

Only Lu Qian and the mute servant were left in the quiet room. Lu Qian wanted to take the jade slip back to his room to read it later, but the mute servant signaled him to read it now.

So Lu Qian used his spiritual consciousness to read the information in the jade slip.

It was a map with a striking mark in the center.

That place is Yingzhou, south of Cangzhou?
There is a line of small words above this location: "You should hurry."

Then came the additional information requested by Lu Qian.

"Golden elixir is complete, one person."

"No one else."

There is only one descendant of Jichuan, and he is a perfect golden elixir!
Lu Qian opened his eyes, and the mute servant made another gesture of invitation. Lu Qian was a little surprised: "Let me go now?"

The mute servant nodded.

"Haiyuan Pavilion only guarantees that Jichuan's descendant will be there when the transaction is completed. It cannot guarantee that he will always be there?"

The mute servant nodded again.

Lu Qian's face darkened.

The descendants of Jichuan Xuanjun in this place may run away at any time?

Lu Qian didn't like this feeling of urgency. If the descendants of Jichuan mentioned in the information had higher cultivation and more people, or if there were other cultivators in that place, then Lu Qian would make all preparations before going.

But now, since there is only one person who has reached the Golden Core Perfection, Lu Qian is confident that he can set off immediately.

A ray of light streaked across the sky, clouds rolled in, and a rainbow broke through the sky.

Lu Qian was sitting in the Stepping Clouds and Flowing Clouds Chariot, with spirit crystals thrown into the control center, flying straight towards the destination.

Fourteen or five thousand miles, in less than four hours, they arrived at the location marked on the map, a place in the vast mountains of Yingzhou.

The descendants of Jichuan are on the mountain in front!
Lu Qian was fully prepared. He put away the cloud chariot and landed. Seeing that everything was quiet, he had an idea and the Five Elements Formation was instantly deployed, tightly wrapping the entire mountain.

And at the moment the formation was set up, the rumbling sound of waves was violent and the low humming sound was piercing!
A figure broke through the rocks, holding in his palm a raging black wave that spread out for a hundred feet in radius. The bone-chilling cold water and the black thunder that tore through everything intertwined and entangled, smashing down heavily on Lu Qian!

Lu Qian was not surprised but happy, of course he recognized this palm.

This is the signature move of Jichuan Xuanjun in "Taishang Xuanling Zhenhai Xuan Gong", the Angry Sea Thunder Palm!
That’s right, he is indeed the descendant of Jichuan!

But this palm with astonishing power rumbled down and passed through a cloud of mist, shattering the rocks on the mountain in vain. Lu Qian's figure flashed out from behind the man, with precious light rippling above his head and a lotus lamp rising.

The five-colored light was flickering faintly in the lotus lamp, like the flickering flame of a wick.

The man only felt that a terrifying aura that could break everything and destroy everything was brewing in the lotus lamp. Immediately, his body stiffened and his hair stood on end.

What kind of magic weapon is this, it has such power!

Lu Qian held the lotus lamp in one hand and gently waved his other hand. The White Tiger and the Fire Phoenix condensed in the Five Elements Formation, and a stagnant and dark Weak Water River swirled around in the air.

His original intention was to intimidate the other party with his strength so that he would talk calmly.

Unexpectedly, the man who had reached the Golden Core Perfection suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "It's you! The thief Lu Qian!" (End of this chapter)
