Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 215 Undercurrent

At night, near Bibotan on Lalu Island.

Bibotan is as its name suggests, and the water is as green as jade.

The calm water surface reflects the surrounding scenery, like a natural ink painting.

I just helped Zhang Ling, another young female monk in the same team, to get the spiritual yam.

It was getting late.

Everyone decided not to continue on their way.

We happened to stop at a place with water to rest for the night.

At this moment, everyone is sitting around under the shade of the tree and eating dry food.

Although Chen Yun and his team are all powerful monks, they have not achieved enlightenment in the end. They are still mortal bodies and naturally need to eat food.

This is true even for the three superior mages Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan and Qin Ming.

Only Chen Yun leaned against the tree trunk and took a few sips of water from the kettle.

He cultivated the Feiling Jade Talisman and was able to absorb energy from the outside world to sustain himself. Apart from the occasional supplement of water, he basically did not need to eat.

However, some people misunderstood and thought that Chen Yun came to Sun Moon Lake Cave for the first time and did not know the situation, so he did not prepare food.

Zhang Ling, a twenty-three or four-year-old female monk in a green skirt, approached Chen Yun, stretched out her hand and handed over a pill, "Here."

Everyone looked sideways.

Chen Yun also raised his eyelids, blinked and said, "What is this?"

Zhang Ling squatted down and said with a smile: "This is a satiety pill. If you take it, you will not be hungry for three days. I see, Mr. Chen, you haven't eaten since you came here yesterday. I'm afraid your stomach will be starved and you won't have the strength. No." Convenient for the next trip.”

In the Sun Moon Lake Cave, food is a very precious thing.

Everyone will stay in the Sun Moon Lake Cave for a year.

In addition, not everyone can live without food.

If you don't prepare enough food, you can find something to eat in the Sun Moon Lake Cave without starving to death, but it will be very troublesome and will waste a lot of treasure hunting time.

Therefore, people who usually come here will prepare their food in advance and rarely share it with others.

This can be seen from the fact that Chen Yun was waiting outside for the Sun Moon Lake Cave yesterday, and only Qin Ming brought him food.

So why did Zhang Ling take the initiative to give food to Chen Yun today?

After all, everyone saw Chen Yun's strength today.

Knowing that he can be the leader of the entire team together with Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan, and Qin Ming.

What we need to search for next may depend on his power.

Naturally, everyone became friendly towards Chen Yun.

Chen Yun understands these truths.

However, he did not take the satiety pill. He waved his hand casually and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I am in the process of fasting. Normally I don't eat grains. I just drink some water occasionally."

"what?"

"Mr. Chen actually knows such a magical skill as fasting?"

"Nonsense, Mr. Chen is an authentic Taoist disciple. How can he not know how to live without grain?"

"I really envy the authentic Xuanmen. If we want to live without grain, we must cultivate to the realm of real people."

A group of people showed envy.

Bigu is a secret that is not passed down.

Don't talk about these heretic monks.

Even within some authentic Taoist sects, there may not be a method of fasting.

Inedia sounds like not eating food.

Actually not so.

Bigu also has a name called "qi-eating".

This method originally originated from the secret method of the Fang Xian family.

Later, it was gradually absorbed by major sects.

How powerful is "breathia"?

"Huainanzi. Topographical Training" says: Those who eat Qi will be divine and live longer.

If you can practice breath-taking to a high level and live as long as the gods, you can imagine how brilliant you will be.

Because of this, when these heretics heard about Chen Yunhui's fasting method, they all looked envious.

After a while, the group finished eating.

Under normal circumstances, everyone should have a good night's rest so that they have the strength to deal with various dangers they may encounter.

Everyone just can’t rest.

Who knows if everyone is asleep, some spiritual beast or monk will come and attack?

As the initiator of the team, Wu Kejiu has always been the core.

He looked at the people sitting and said, "Fellow Taoists, let's discuss who will keep vigil first and at what time we will replace others."

"it is good."

"Mr. Wu, please make arrangements. I'll listen."

A group of people responded sparsely.

Who would have thought that Ding Xu suddenly said: "Why don't you let Mr. Chen keep vigil first so that he can have a good rest in the second half of the night?"

Qin Ming agreed: "Mr. Chen worked hard today, and it's worth staying up half the night."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chen."

"Let him watch for the first half of the night."

Gao Chen, Zhang Ling and others all agreed.

If you are keeping vigil, it is definitely better to keep vigil for the first half of the night.

After all, you can sleep until early in the morning after midnight.

If you stay late at night, you will be called up in the middle of the night.

Then wait until tomorrow night before resting again.

So keeping watch for the rest of the night was a chore.

Originally, Chen Yun had exerted so much effort today, so there was nothing wrong with staying up half the night.

Even Wu Kejiu, the core of the team, was prepared to arrange it this way.

It's just that it's a little strange coming from other people's mouths.

Wu Kejiu always felt that everyone's "hearts" were vaguely biased towards Chen Yun.

If things continue like this, maybe the core team will need to be replaced. For a moment, Wu Kejiu was secretly dissatisfied with everyone's attitude.

Of course, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction.

It was certainly impossible to say these words.

Otherwise, you will be regarded as narrow-minded.

Wu Kejiu said calmly: "Indeed, Mr. Chen had a battle with others today, which was very hard. I originally thought of arranging for him to keep watch for the first half of the night. Since everyone has proposed it, let's make sure that Mr. Chen is there for the first half of the night. We’ll identify the others later.”

What he said seemed like nothing.

In fact, it is a declaration of "sovereignty".

Tell everyone that he, Wu Kejiu, is the core.

Chen Yun didn't think about it that way.

He was not interested in fighting for power, he just smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you everyone for leaving me the good job."

Qin Ming frowned slightly and glanced at Wu Kejiu.

The last time he, Kang Yuan and Wu Kejiu came to Sun Moon Lake Cave, a similar thing happened.

But Wu Kejiu did have the means, and in the end he and Kang Yuan were willing to succumb to Wu Kejiu.

Now that he saw that Wu Kejiu seemed to be doing the same thing to Chen Yun, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.

I saw Qin Ming say something intentionally or unintentionally, "Mr. Chen has worked so hard today to win the hearts of the people. It is also out of respect that everyone recommends him to stay at night."

"Yes." Ding Xu nodded and said, "I think so too."

"Correct."

"We recommend Mr. Chen to stay at midnight out of respect."

Zhang Ling, Gao Chen and other seven or eight monks all agreed.

At this moment, Wu Kejiu felt that the "boss majesty" had been provoked. He secretly clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves. He seemed a little angry at Qin Ming's words, but he did not show it. He just smiled and said: "Qin Daoyou said it makes sense. Okay, let's Let’s continue to arrange for others to keep watch. In this way, Daoist fellow Qin and I will take the initiative to keep watch for the second half of the night, while Mr. Chen and Daoist Kang will lead a group of people to keep watch for the first half of the night..."

He didn't give Qin Ming a chance to speak and arranged the list in one go.

Except for Chen Yun, all the people who had just agreed with Qin Ming's words were all arranged by him to stay guard for the rest of the night.

It was obvious that Wu Kejiu was responding to Qin Ming in this way. At this time, he was still the one and only presence in the team.

Qin Ming wanted to make some suggestions, but Wu Kejiu took the initiative to say that he would stay late at night and set an example. Who could find any fault in it?

Finally the matter was settled.

Chen Yun, Kang Yuan, Long Nu Sanjiu, Xu Yang and others stayed in front for half the night.

Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, Gao Chen, Ding Xu and others stayed for the rest of the night.

Immediately, the people who had been watching for the rest of the night went to bed first.

As two of the "four major talkers", Chen Yun and Kang Yuan each led about ten people to patrol the surroundings of the camp.

When it was almost time, they changed shifts with Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming and others.

The whole night was silent and seemed peaceful.

In fact, the entire team was vaguely divided into two factions.

One faction is headed by Chen Yun and has a smaller number of people.

The other faction is still headed by Wu Kejiu.

The two sides are secretly competing with each other.

Of course, Chen Yun never competed with anyone from beginning to end.

It's just that Qin Ming is taking it upon himself to compete with Wu Kejiu for him.

……

The next day, the sun rises in the east.

Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming and others woke up Kang Yuan, Long Nu Sanjiu and others who were sleeping.

Chen Yun had been practicing in the middle of the night, so there was no need to call Wu Kejiu and others.

Everyone washed up in the green water pool.

Immediately, Wu Kejiu called everyone together and began to arrange today's itinerary, "Today we have three main goals. The first is to help Mr. Chen obtain the Xuanbai Gourd Vine, which is easier to obtain and requires little effort. The second is to go to the extreme cold." Dong helped Daoist Kang get Xuexiong. There are powerful spiritual beasts guarding there. Maybe everyone will have to do a lot of work. Oh, by the way, I remember that when I came in last time, I seemed to have seen a red fruit tree over there, but The number is not very large, and I don’t know if it is mature. If it is mature, we may be able to help Mr. Chen complete the task of collecting red fruits. Finally, we have to rush to Flame Peak to help Taoist Xu Yang obtain Fenghuo Ganoderma. Then There may be spiritual beasts guarding the area, and we need some help from everyone. Do you have any other opinions? If not, we'll set off."

"No."

"Let's go now."

Xu Yang, Zhang Ling and others responded.

After receiving a positive reply, Wu Kejiu took the lead in standing up and flying towards the west.

Chen Yun, Qin Ming and others followed closely behind.

While flying in the wind, he secretly pondered what Wu Kejiu had just said.

There are probably ripe red fruits over there in the Extreme Cold Cave?

He had returned to Zhongnan Mountain before and collected twelve portions of all the other needed medicinal materials.

Plus the remaining Jiushuiheyulu and Zhuyucao.

There are actually not many types of heaven and earth spiritual roots that I lack.

It is nothing more than the main medicine of ten red fruits, Xuanbai gourd vine, Xuanshui and different kinds of Atractylodes.

If you go to the Extreme Cold Cave later, you can really get ten red fruits.

In addition, there is a high probability of getting the Xuanbai Gourd Vine today.

Then by collecting Xuanshui and Alien Atractylodes, you can gather the spiritual roots of heaven and earth needed to brew the medium version of the Refining Qi Transformation Soup.

Chen Yunxin said that if the magician Merlin hadn't caused trouble before, maybe he could collect medicinal materials faster.

While he was thinking about collecting the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, he didn't notice at all that Wu Kejiu, who was flying in front of him, turned his head and glanced at him without leaving any trace.

Wu Kejiu's eyes were full of determination.

He thought he must show off his skills today.

Let everyone know that he is the real core of the entire team.

Not Chen Yun who showed off his power yesterday.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking.

Wu Kejiu thought about it.

No matter how powerful the spiritual beast is that I encounter today.

He must take the lead before Chen Yun.

Fortunately, Chen Yun didn't know what the other person was thinking, otherwise he would have burst into laughter.

He is dedicated to seeking immortality, so how could he have any thoughts about the "core" of a small team?
