Journey to the head

Hearing this, Lin Le and Wu Yan were both very interested. What kind of achievements and legends did this brave and invincible Jindan Zhenren, who looked heroic but had a delicate mind, have?
But Akabane waved his hands again and again: "Master, that's not necessary. I still have to save my dignity, how can I brag about my past in front of the younger generation?"

But Wuhuzi was in a good mood today, and spoke faster: "Why not? We have heard too many stories about Tianyuanzi of Yunshan Sect. If I don't tell you about myself, I'm afraid these young people will only know Tianyuanzi, but won't know any heroes in the world!"

He turned to Lin Le and Wu Yan: "Our Elder Pei is a Golden Crow flying in the sky, invincible, and is definitely a first-rate figure among the Golden Cores. Even if I advance to the Nascent Soul stage today, I dare not say that I am better than him."

"In the past, when my sect was under siege, at the critical moment, it was he who single-handedly held back the enemy's Nascent Soul, giving us the opportunity to switch to a large formation for defense. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would be left here today."

Lin Le and Wu Yan were naturally impressed when they heard this. It was a life-and-death battle, not an ordinary competition. Being able to withstand the Yuanying Lingjun's several magical powers and various magic weapons flying together, winning the opportunity for the sect to shift its strategy, naturally deserves the title of the first-class Jindan.

What's more, the enemy's Nascent Soul is not alone, there must be other Golden Cores to help.

In this case, even the head of the family would find it difficult.

Soapberry was very pleased with their surprised expressions: "If we talk about his achievements since he achieved the Golden Elixir, it would take three days and three nights to finish talking about it."

"I once fought against three enemy Jindans by myself and killed all three of them."

"I once rushed thousands of miles, broke into the enemy's mountain gate, and defeated thousands of soldiers. I returned after killing the general."

"I once stood alone and guarded an area, causing five enemy Jindan to hold their breath and concentrate, with no one daring to take the initiative to attack."

"There is a saying circulating in Ningzhou."

"Danxia Chiyu, the golden elixir is invincible. Below the Nascent Soul stage, Pei Lie is the best."

Lin Le's blood boiled after hearing this. He stood up, picked up the wine jar on the table in front of him, and said loudly: "What a great Jindan Wudi! Senior Chiyu, I toast to you!"

Akabane shook his head helplessly: "Master, why are you talking about such gossip today?"

"These are just nonsense from those who like to gossip. Don't take them seriously. They are frogs in a well and have never seen the vastness of the world. But we can't be complacent and think we are big shots."

"I know exactly how much I weigh."

"It's okay for others to lie to me, but you must never lie to yourself."

After saying that, he raised the wine jar and clinked it with Lin Le from a distance, then drank the starry wine in the jar in one gulp.

Lin Le also raised his head and drank, the wine soaking his shirt. Wu Yan knew the power of this wine, she smiled on the surface, but in fact a traceless spiritual power had extended out and twisted Lin Le's waist heavily.

"Hmm!" Lin Le had a strange expression on his face and carefully put down the jar of wine.

Gu Nishang felt both proud and melancholy in her heart.

She naturally knew the legendary stories of her master, and many of the events were also her own experiences.

She has always admired this kind of Master very much, and has always regarded the Master as her role model and goal.

But Master has been stuck in the Golden Elixir Perfection State for more than sixty years.

Thirty-two years ago, after Master and Lu Qian returned from the Fairy Cave in Taiyi Paradise, they said that they were determined to break into the Nascent Soul realm, to explore a wider world and see more beautiful scenery.

I was very excited at that time, and I felt that I would soon see my master attain the Nascent Soul Realm.

But more than 30 years have passed and there is still no response.

Even when I couldn't help asking, Master would just smile and evade the question, never giving a direct answer.

When will Master be able to achieve Nascent Soul and write a legend of being “the best in Nascent Soul” in the Nascent Soul realm?
Soapberry smiled slightly and continued, "All legendary stories have a beginning. And the extraordinary journey of our Elder Pei started with his two failed foundation building attempts."

Lin Le and Wu Yan were deeply shocked.

After a cultivator has perfected his Qi training, he can at any time turn his spiritual roots into flowers and achieve spiritual cores with a single thought. But the key lies in the next step, which is to allow the spiritual cores to capture the rhythm of the Tao and carve the patterns of the Tao.

If the Dao rhyme is not captured successfully and the spiritual core closes again, it will be severely damaged, which is irreversible damage.

Therefore, cultivators must try to build their foundation in an auspicious place and at an auspicious time when the opportunity comes, so as to maximize the success rate of capturing the rhyme of Tao, in order to avoid damage to the spiritual core.

If the spiritual core blooms three times but fails to successfully build the foundation, then the hope of building the foundation will be completely cut off.

No one would have thought that such a powerful "Number One in Golden Elixir" Zhenren Chiyu actually failed twice when building his foundation!

If you fail again next time, there will be no hope for your whole life!
Seeing that everyone was fascinated, Wu Xiuzi continued, "Elder Pei has three spiritual roots, and he was not famous at first. But he practiced diligently and worked hard, and he has a good foundation. He is also generous and righteous, and has made many friends among the disciples."

"Even though he failed twice in building his foundation, Elder Pei was not discouraged at all. Even though there were many people around him mocking and ridiculing him, he was able to remain calm and continue to polish himself, waiting for the right time."

"God is always fair. Everyone has a few opportunities to change their fate in their lifetime, but when the opportunity comes, only those who are always prepared can seize it."

Lin Le nodded silently.

"After training day after day, one day, Elder Pei finally received a mission to eliminate evil cultivators, and he went to destroy the enemy with several fellow disciples."

"Who could have expected that this ordinary mission would actually be Elder Pei's opportunity."

"After a tough battle, Elder Pei not only killed the evil cultivator, but also obtained a book of mysterious skills from him."

That is the "True Secret of the Golden Crow's Great Evolution", Gu Nishang added silently in her heart.

Think about it, destiny is so amazing. Such a precious treasure actually exists in the hands of an evil cultivator in the wilderness and is obtained by the master.

"From then on, he comprehended the profound principles, studied the mystical ways, and made rapid progress in his cultivation. Soon, he successfully established his foundation and took the first step on the road to becoming a legend."

During this banquet, Akabane Masamune drank a lot of wine.

He did not let Soapberry speak for too long, and soon shut up his leader by toasting him frequently.

He could guess the reason why the leader was boasting today. It seemed that the rapid rise of the Yunshan Sect had made his allies feel a little pressure. It was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of the presence of Lin Le and Wu Yan to chat and enhance their relationship while showing off his own martial arts.

However, Akabane Masato really doesn't like such self-boasting.

Moreover, he especially didn't like to recall the starting point of all the stories, the mission to eliminate the evil cultivators.

Returning to Huoyun Peak and entering the small courtyard on the top of the peak, Master Chiyu leaned against a huge ancient tree with red leaves and a canopy-like crown, and slowly fell asleep.

I drank too much star wine today.

"Brother, Brother Pei——"

The crying voice echoed in his ears, and Pei Lie was in a trance and suddenly woke up.

Before him was a dark cave, a winding stone path, several fellow disciples with nervous expressions, and a young girl who was clenching her hands tightly and crying anxiously.

"I'm fine." Pei Lie stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears on the girl's face. "Junior Sister Fang, don't panic. I was just knocked unconscious." A junior brother said bitterly beside him, "Damn evil cultivator, you always do such evil things. When I catch you, I will tear you into pieces!"

Another junior brother hesitated for a moment: "Brother Pei, we haven't even seen the enemy yet, and we've already lost Junior Brother Zhang. Why don't we withdraw from here first and make a long-term plan later?"

Pei Lie snapped his fingers, and a ball of flame hung on the top of the stone wall, which was much brighter than the fluorite lighting that several of his fellow disciples tied around their waists.

He had clearly remembered that he and several fellow disciples were carrying out the mission of eliminating the evil cultivators. After finding the mountain where the evil cultivators were hiding, they walked into the cave to annihilate the enemy.

But this evil cultivator had set up many traps in the passage, and even though we were careful along the way, we still fell into their traps.

Junior Brother Zhang triggered an explosion trap and died on the spot. I was very close to it. Although I raised my defensive magic weapon in time, I was knocked unconscious by the blast and hit the wall.

He glanced around and saw that several of his fellow disciples were hesitant, so he spoke loudly.

“Don’t retreat!”

"That evil cultivator has been wreaking havoc on the village, causing great harm. Nearly a hundred mortals have already been harmed by him."

"We have already alerted the enemy by coming here to siege them. If we return without success, the evil cultivator will surely take the opportunity to escape, and I am afraid that they will cause even greater trouble in the future."

"Moreover, this evil cultivator has set up so many traps here, which also shows that his cultivation is not high and his direct combat ability is not strong. We still have six people, all of whom are in the late stage of Qi training. When the time comes, we will rush forward together and will definitely be able to eliminate him, avenge Junior Brother Zhang, and eliminate the harm to the people!"

Hearing him say this, several of his fellow disciples became excited and responded loudly.

Pei Lie whispered to the girl again: "Junior Sister Fang, stay with me for a while, I will definitely protect you."

Junior Sister Fang responded softly and grabbed the hand he offered.

The two held hands tightly and smiled at each other in the dim firelight.

This is not a very appropriate time, otherwise the fellow disciples around them would surely start a commotion and ask them to become Taoist couples as soon as possible.

Pei Lie raised the fireball in his hand a little higher, trying to illuminate every corner and check for possible traps. Several fellow disciples also helped, and they moved forward slowly and steadily.

Finally, they blew open a stone door, and after the smoke and dust, their target was finally exposed!
The evil cultivator in the ochre robe kept moving his hands, and several mortals in front of him were completely drained of their blood and essence. A ball of fire of life began to dance in his hands.

Pei Lie clearly saw that the evil cultivator's exposed palm was dark and dry, like a burnt tree branch.

Pei Lie and his companions were speechless as they watched those mortals being sucked into mummies.

It was because they sensed the surging spiritual pressure from the evil cultivator.

It’s foundation building!
This evil cultivator was too cunning. He had made secret moves several times before, plundering mortals practicing magic within the Danxia Sect's territory, but his behavior was very restrained, and the damage he caused was not great, so that the mission intelligence's speculation about the target was wrong. This was a foundation-building feathered priest!
Building the foundation and killing the Qi training is so easy!
And at this moment, a green light enveloped the stone chamber, the hidden magic circle was activated, and communications between the inside and outside were cut off.

The faces of several junior brothers and sisters suddenly turned pale.

The evil cultivator played with a ball of green, lively flame in his palm and sneered at them.

"What a pity! They are all young men in their prime years, but they are going to die here today and turn into dried corpses."

"Poor, pathetic."

His vicious gaze swept across the six Danxia sect monks, and they couldn't help but tremble.

He changed the subject again: "How about this, I'm also very bored staying here, how about you put on a show for me to cheer me up? I'll give you a chance."

“Let’s fight, the six of you, fight here. I will let the one who survives go.”

Instantly, the six people's breathing stagnated.

But Pei Lie gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't listen to his nonsense!"

"He was clearly seriously injured, so he needed to absorb the blood of living people! I'm afraid he can't even use the Dao pattern, so he lured us to kill each other, proving that his strength has declined!"

"Follow me and kill this beast!"

With a loud bang, he grasped two flying swords wrapped in flames and rushed forward, slashing at the evil cultivator without fear of death.

Inspired by him, several of his fellow disciples shouted and used their own methods. Magical weapons flew in the air, spells flew, talismans danced, and the six of them surrounded the evil cultivator and used all the methods they had.

But even if he was seriously injured, he still had to build his foundation.

The evil cultivator was enraged and roared, swallowing the ball of green fire in one gulp. Then, a defensive spiritual weapon took on most of the attack. Another long sword flashed out, as if it was made of lava, extremely hot, fierce and powerful. With just one blow, it split an unsuspecting junior brother into two pieces!
Pei Lie roared in pain and tried his best, but the evil cultivator simply blocked his attack with a defensive magic weapon. Then he slashed a few more times, breaking the defensive magic weapon of a fellow disciple and cutting him in half.

The remaining three fellow disciples were close to collapse, their fighting spirit was greatly reduced, and they even wanted to turn around and run away.

Pei Lie shouted loudly: "Running away means death. Only by killing him can we survive. Follow me!"

He desperately rushed forward and threw out a ball of lightning.

There was a loud bang, and a violent air wave surged, blowing up the evil cultivator's defensive spiritual weapon!
That was Pei Lie's trump card, a rare item refined by the sect, a disposable prop, Tianleizi.

But the distance was so close that Pei Lie was also covered with wounds from the lightning, but he jumped up and pounced on the evil cultivator again.

The evil cultivator chopped him down with a sword, breaking through the defensive magic weapon and hitting his shoulder blade. If he hadn't used the flying sword to block it, he would have been cut into two pieces.

Pei Lie showed no fear and held the evil cultivator's sword tightly: "Kill him, kill him!"

The fellow disciples yelled madly and rushed forward.

Blood was all over the stone chamber. When Pei Lie finally pierced the evil cultivator's heart with his sword, Junior Sister Fang was also chopped to the ground by the evil cultivator, with blood splattering three feet away, and the other two junior brothers were also dead.

"No!"

I was the one who rushed to the front and was the most seriously injured, but they all died!

Pei Lie stared blankly at the corpses scattered on the ground, his heart broken.

At this moment, suddenly a light laugh was heard.

The dead Junior Sister Fang suddenly turned her head and looked at Pei Lie, two lines of blood and tears flowing down her pretty face.

"Brother Pei, is this the truth?"

A huge earthquake!

Akabane Zhenren suddenly woke up with his eyes wide open, and then spat out a mouthful of blood. (End of this chapter)
