Gou became an immortal and became an ancestor in the world of immortality

Chapter 160 Inside Story
Because of the Nujiang Jiao incident, Xia Junzhu and the two temporarily settled in Tingchao Lake.

For this reason, Luo Qingyao specially held a dinner and invited everyone from the Loose Cultivator Alliance as a welcome gesture.

Time passed quietly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

After some inquiring, Li Zhengran finally understood the whole story behind this matter.

The reason is the conflict within the direct lineage of Beilin Immortal City.

Master Beilin had a total of four direct disciples. Among them, the eldest disciple died on the way, and the second disciple just barely formed a fake elixir.

The third disciple, Zhou Lingfeng, and Xia Junzhu, who was the latest to start, were in the foundation-building stage.

However, among them, the two disciples with the lowest cultivation level were the most valued by Master Beilin.

the reason is simple.

Immortal City is a large force with countless resources.

Beilin Zhenren is in the middle stage of pill formation. He may be able to suppress many Xiaoxiao with his own strength and charm and ensure the prosperity of the fairy city.

However, after all, its lifespan is only more than 500 years.

If after a hundred years of death, no one from the younger generation of disciples has formed a true elixir, then the property of this fairy city will definitely become the object of competition among all the major forces.

The direct lineage will definitely decline.

Because of this, Zhou Lingfeng and Xia Junzhu, the third disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage, are naturally full of the expectations of Master Beilin.

Privately, it was rumored that the other party had promised.

Whoever can form the true elixir first will get all the inheritance of the other party in the future and inherit all of the fairy city.

Because of this, although Zhou Lingfeng and Xia Junzhu were brothers and sisters from the same school, they had conflicts over this.

Privately, there are also some quasi-third-level immortal city guest ministers who quietly stand in line and support the corresponding people, hoping to gain the merit of following the dragon.

At this point, Zhou Lingfeng, who had started earlier and had a higher level of cultivation, completely had the upper hand.

Although it is only a high-grade spiritual root, it has already been built to the ninth level.

There is only one step away from forming a true elixir, and many people think that the other party may be able to form a true elixir within the next ten years.

In contrast, although Xia Junzhu has earth spiritual roots, there is still some gap between him and the late stage of foundation building.

If you want to form a pill, you have to wait at least thirty or forty years.

In addition, in order to extend the life of the Immortal Instructor, she spent a lot of resources and delayed her own cultivation.

Therefore, it has caused dissatisfaction among many people who want to make offerings to their platform.

Because of this, Xia Junzhu's situation has been quite passive in recent years.

It wasn't until she subdued the Nujiang Jiao, a monster of earthly bloodline, in the secret territory of Fengling that she managed to win back some people's hearts and temporarily stop the decline.

But unfortunately, maybe it was Zhou Lingfeng or his men who did it, or maybe he really took the spiritual object by mistake.

Something happened to the Nujiang Jiao.

In this regard, Master Beilin did not intervene and just acquiesced that the situation would develop accordingly.

Including some quasi-third-level worshipers who had not taken sides, they temporarily stopped interacting with her and lied about being in retreat or going out.

"So, in the end, you had no other choice and came to find me?"

After reading the last line of the letter, Li Zhengran's complexion alternated between bright and dark.

Looking carefully, you can see that there is a golden sword seal on the surface of the envelope, shining quietly.

Obviously, this is the mark of Xuanjian Sect.

If Lin Han was not now a high-level deacon of the sect and happened to be in charge of the branch in Beilin Immortal City, he might not necessarily know the secrets here.

"It's a pity that I'm still not vigilant enough."

"Even if I know now, it's too late."

Putting away the letter, Li Zhengran smiled bitterly.

It can be said that from the day Xia Junzhu came to visit in person, he had been involved in the conflicts between the direct lineages of Immortal City.

To cure the Nujiang Jiao is to offend Zhou Lingfeng, who may be expected to inherit the power of the Immortal City through the real elixir.

But if he rejects Xia Junzhu, wouldn't he be offended?

The opponent is the earth spirit root. Who can guarantee that it will not form a true elixir in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Zhengran shook his head secretly. No wonder those quasi-third-level worshipers in the immortal city did not interfere.Obviously, this situation will not change at least until Zhou Lingfeng finally forms the pill.

"So, what should I do?"

Having a headache, Li Zhengran suddenly regretted his choice to meet the other party that day.

However, he also knew that given the situation at that time, he was not qualified to pretend to be in seclusion.

Just when his mind was wandering, he saw a strange cry suddenly sounded.

hum!
He raised his head slightly and took advantage of the situation to explore his spiritual consciousness.

It can be seen that the wings of the golden jade moth are vibrating, flying in mid-air outside the villa, causing a flash of golden patterns.

Behind him, from time to time, there were water pillars rising into the sky from Tingchao Lake, and in the blink of an eye, water mist quietly condensed.

Faintly, several feet of blue jade could be seen looming in the pond, and in a blink of an eye, the head of a half-human-sized dragon broke through the water.

A month of simple treatment and getting along with each other, plus Xia Junzhu never left.

Nujiang Jiao had finally adapted to the new environment and gradually recognized Li Zhengran.

He even managed to get acquainted with the Golden Jade Moth and the Fire Wolf Demon. Occasionally, they would put down the pretense of being born in a high-quality bloodline and play with each other.

However, it was obvious that the Fire Wolf Demon, who was only a late-stage first-order demon, could only stand by the lake while shaking its demon tail, trembling slightly under its pressure, making it difficult to blend in.

"Stop making trouble, Xiaolan."

Suddenly, a breeze blew quietly.

Xia Junzhu, who was wearing a long ribbed skirt, appeared near Bibo Island at some point, suspended in mid-air on the lake.

The water rippled, and the Nujiang dragons could be seen stopping their playful movements and swimming towards her instead.

As a water-attribute monster, it naturally loves water.

As early as the first day, it regarded Tingchao Lake as its own territory.

groan!
It seemed as if a dragon roared, and the layers of water mist condensed, seeming to turn into steps, supporting Xia Junzhu on the water.

In an instant, several foundation-building consciousnesses came towards him, all showing envy.

"You, your injury is not healed yet, so don't be so playful."

Although he was blaming, Xia Junzhu still raised his hand and gently touched the blue jade dragon scales.

The jade hand passed over it lightly, and finally tapped twice on the dragon's head.

"The time is coming. Hurry ashore and go to Master Li Fu to heal your injuries."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nujiang Jiao roared like a dragon again.

He was a little unhappy like a child, but in the end he was obedient and the mist rose up from the water, then flew into the courtyard of the villa, carrying Xia Junzhu.

"Master Li Fu."

The Nujiang dragon bowed its head slightly, Xia Junzhu walked down from the dragon's head and bowed Yingying.

"Miss Xia."

Li Zhengran's expression remained as usual, and he bowed slightly in return.

The two of them walked into the living room and sat down together, and then Xia Junzhu said casually: "I heard that Deacon Lin of Xuanjian Sect is a good friend of Master Li?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhengran felt a shiver in his heart when he saw the other party looking at his storage bag thoughtfully.

Obviously, his thoughts and methods were not hidden from the other party.

"Yes."

Nodding gently, Li Zhengran sipped the tea, suppressing the ripples in his heart.

Seeing this, Xia Junzhu's eyes flashed, and the red lips under the veil seemed to be smiling but not smiling:

"I don't know, Master Li thinks so."

"How long will it take for Xiaolan's injury to be truly healed?"

After the words fell, Li Zhengran's heart tightened.
