Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 795 Someone must have framed my Junior Brother Zhao!

In a cave in Ziyun Hall in the Red Crystal Mountains, a tall, strong, white-haired old man wearing a purple robe was sitting cross-legged on a stone platform, practicing with his eyes closed.
This person is none other than Master Zifeng, one of the two Nascent Soul elders of Ziyun Hall.

After being defeated by "Zhao Ping" transformed by Zhou Xun, he lived in seclusion in the cave and never went out again.

He even didn't attend the auction at Qingyun Mansion because he was too embarrassed to see anyone.
The all-powerful Zifeng Zhenjun was actually defeated by a rookie and became a stepping stone for him.

How could the arrogant Zifeng Zhenjun accept this?

Therefore, he could only choose to escape and practice hard in seclusion, seeking a way to break through the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

While he was immersed in cultivation,

suddenly--

A beam of fire flew in from outside the cave and transformed into a sound transmission talisman that stayed above the restriction, moving left and right.

Upon seeing this, True Lord Zifeng suddenly stopped practicing and opened his eyes.

"Who on earth would come to me at this time?"

After all, he announced that he would be in seclusion.
With doubt in his mind, True Lord Zifeng snapped his fingers and a ray of light hit the sound transmission talisman.

Then came an old and vigorous voice:

"Junior brother, please come out for a while. I have good news that can help you resolve your worries!"

"Senior brother?"

Hearing this, Master Zifeng stopped practicing, put his hands together and pointed at himself.
He performed a dust removal spell.

I saw a faint light flashing all over his body, and he looked completely refreshed.

Then he opened the door of the cave and walked out slowly.

Then he saw an old man in a purple robe standing in the hall, holding a jade slip in his hand and smiling.
It seems like there is some happy event.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

True Lord Zifeng had a puzzled look on his face and looked at his senior brother curiously.

"Hahaha, what a happy event! Junior brother, you will also burst into laughter after seeing this!"

Hearing this, Master Zifeng became even more confused:

"Please explain clearly, Senior Brother!"

"Junior brother, you will know it at a glance!" The old man smiled mysteriously and handed the jade slip over.

True Lord Zifeng took it, probed into it with his spiritual sense, and studied it carefully.
Suddenly, he raised his head sharply, and his voice could not help but rise three degrees.

"This...this matter is true!"

"How dare he steal the Holy Sect's elixir? It's a divine elixir!"

True Lord Zifeng's face was filled with astonishment.

"Of course it's true. Zhao Ping was so bold that he actually dared to steal the sect's spiritual medicine. Now he is wanted by the sect all over the world. He can't escape even if he has wings!"

"Without him, Chiyuantang is now like fish on my chopping board!"

True Lord Ziyun smiled sinisterly.

"Brother is right. Zhao Ping has committed a sin. Now that he has escaped, the only responsibility is on Chi Yuan Tang!

A fierce look flashed across Master Zifeng's eyes.
"Humph, Zhao Ping made me lose face back then. Now that he has committed such a heinous crime, it just gives us an opportunity. I must make Chiyuantang pay the price, only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart!"

True Lord Ziyun nodded slightly and stroked his beard, "Junior Brother, now that Zhao Ping is wanted, the people of Chiyuan Hall must be in a panic. It is time for us to expand our territory."

"Chiyuantang has occupied that 800-li prime land for too long!"

"Brother, what you said is absolutely right. However, we cannot just sit there and wait for news. We need to gather all the disciples and be ready to attack at any time."

As Master Zifeng spoke, he quickly formed seals with his hands and sent out a sound transmission talisman, which turned into a stream of light and flew towards various parts of Ziyun Hall, summoning the sect's core disciples to gather in the meeting hall.

Soon, a group of disciples came and stood respectfully in the meeting room. Master Zifeng looked at the disciples below and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, I called you here today because of an important matter. Zhao Ping from Chiyuan Hall dared to steal the Holy Sect's elixir. He committed a heinous crime and is now wanted by the whole world."

"Without his support in Chiyuantang, it is time for Ziyuntang to be proud. You must be prepared, listen to my orders, and be ready to attack at any time."

……

On the other hand, the Chiyuan Hall was indeed in chaos as True Lord Ziyun said. The disciples were discussing privately and were worried about the future of the sect.

Su Yao sat in the main seat, frowning, worried. She knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to Chiyuan Hall, especially Ziyun Hall, who would never give up.
"Sister, now that Brother has done this, even if Ziyun Hall attacks us, I'm afraid the Palace Master won't ask!"

Su Yao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Steady the disciples in the hall first, and don't let yourself get confused. Send someone to find out what's going on in Ziyun Hall, and then we'll make a long-term plan."

"At the same time, select the core disciples to leave. The inheritance of our Chiyuan Hall must not fall into our hands!"

At this moment, a disciple in charge of vigilance came running over, "Grandmaster, it's bad! The disciples of Ziyun Hall are gathering not far from our hall, and it looks like they are going to attack us!"

Su Yao's face changed, and she stood up suddenly. "These guys are really impatient! Pass my order, all disciples line up and prepare to meet the enemy!"

The disciples of Chiyuantang gathered quickly. Although they were nervous, they mustered up their courage and prepared for the upcoming battle.

……

At the same time, Lingfeng Hall,

Fairy Xinyue's eyes were dull, and she was in a daze holding a jade slip in her hand.
"How is this possible? How could Junior Brother Zhao do such a thing and be wanted by the entire continent? How can this be possible?"

Fairy Xinyue's heart was churning with emotions that were difficult to calm down. The jade slip in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She could not believe that Zhao Ping, who had fought side by side with her and chatted with her cheerfully, would do such a heinous thing as stealing the sect's elixir.

"No, this is impossible!"

Fairy Xinyue whispered to herself, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "Junior Brother Zhao is an upright person and would never do such a thing. Someone must have framed him!"

"Zhao Ping" is only in the early stage of Nascent Soul, how could he enter the core area of ​​Xuanyangtian and obtain such a treasure from so many great cultivators.

Moreover, Zhao Ping was an upright person and would never destroy his future for a magical herb. The more Xinyue Fairy thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was strange, and she had a vague guess in her heart.

"Could it be that the top leaders of Luoyang Xianzong coveted the spiritual ginseng that Junior Brother Zhao obtained in Xuanyang Heaven and wanted to take it for themselves, so they took the opportunity to frame him?"

A hint of coldness flashed across Fairy Xinyue's eyes, "It must be so. When Junior Brother Zhao returns with success and fame, he will definitely be able to clear his name!"

She was burning with anger and was thinking about it when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the cave.

Then, a disciple rushed in and reported in a panic: "Grandmaster, it's not good! The disciples of Ziyun Hall are gathering, and it looks like they are going to attack Chiyuan Hall!" Upon hearing this, Fairy Xinyue's face suddenly changed and she stood up abruptly: "What? Ziyun Hall dares to be so presumptuous!"

She knew clearly that Chiyuantang was at its weakest now that it had lost Zhao Ping's protection. Ziyuntang's move at this time was obviously an attempt to take over Chiyuantang's territory.

"No, now that Junior Brother Zhao is not here, I must protect Chiyuan Hall for him and prevent Ziyun Hall from succeeding!"

A trace of determination flashed in Fairy Xinyue's eyes, and she immediately ordered, "Pass my order, all disciples of Lingfeng Hall will gather immediately and follow me to Chiyuan Hall for support!"

"Yes!" The disciple responded and quickly conveyed the order.

Fairy Xinyue took a deep breath and calmed herself down, then took out a sound transmission talisman and entered a spell. The sound transmission talisman turned into a stream of light and flew towards the direction of Chiyuan Hall.

"Junior Sister Su Yao, hold on, I'll be there soon!" Fairy Xinyue whispered.

……

At the same time, outside Chiyuan Hall, the disciples of Ziyun Hall had already gathered and were approaching the gate of Chiyuan Hall aggressively.

True Lord Zifeng and True Lord Ziyun stood at the front of the team, with smiles of success on their faces.

"Junior brother, today is the day for our Ziyun Hall to be proud!" True Lord Ziyun stroked his beard, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

True Lord Zifeng nodded and sneered, "Without Zhao Ping, Chiyuan Hall is just a mob. Today is the day for us to expand our territory!
Just as the Purple Cloud Hall disciples were about to launch an attack, they suddenly heard a sound of breaking through the air in the distance. Then, a cold voice resounded through the sky:

"Wait a minute, everyone from Ziyun Hall, why are you mobilizing so many troops?"

Upon hearing this, True Lord Zifeng and True Lord Ziyun's faces changed. They looked up and saw Fairy Xinyue and the disciples of Lingfeng Hall flying in from the sky with great momentum.

"Junior Sister Xinyue, what is she doing here?" True Lord Zifeng frowned slightly, secretly alert in his heart.

"It's nothing more than a share of the pie!" said True Lord Ziyun!

"You're coming so fast, huh!" Upon hearing this, a trace of coldness flashed through Master Zifeng's heart.
"Well, Lingfeng Hall is not much weaker than us, so they are qualified to have a share!"

True Lord Ziyun stepped forward and said, "Fairy Xinyue has come at the perfect time. You and I can discuss the division of Chiyuan Hall!"

He actually talked about this matter in front of everyone in Chiyuan Hall.

Su Yao's face turned sad when she heard that. The only option today was death!

Just when she made up her mind to die and was ready to burn her life and fight to the death,
The voice of the Heart-Pleasant Fairy sounded,

"When did I ever say I wanted to share Chiyuan Hall with you?"

Fairy Xinyue snorted coldly, and her eyes swept across everyone in Ziyun Hall like a knife: "Chiyuan Hall and my Lingfeng Hall have always been on good terms. If you want to attack Chiyuan Hall today, you will be the enemy of my Lingfeng Hall!"

Upon hearing this, Master Zifeng's face darkened: "Fairy Xinyue, could it be that your Lingfeng Hall wants to collude with Zhao Ping, the wanted criminal?"

Fairy Xinyue did not give in and said coldly: "Master Zifeng, Master Ziyun, Chiyuan Hall is Chiyuan Hall, Zhao Ping is Zhao Ping, how can they be confused? Besides, our three Chijing Halls have been friends for thousands of years. Although there are occasional conflicts, there has never been a quarrel between brothers!"

"If you insist on taking action, you will have to pass my Lingfeng Hall first!"

"Thank you for your help, Senior Xinyue!" Su Yao stepped forward and said gratefully,
She didn't expect that at this critical moment, Fairy Xinyue would actually stand up for them!
Fairy Xinyue nodded and said calmly: "Junior Sister Su Yao, you are welcome. Let's meet at Ziyun Hall together today!"

Seeing this, Master Zifeng and Master Ziyun looked even gloomier. The addition of Fairy Xinyue made the situation complicated instantly.

"Junior brother, what should we do?" asked True Lord Ziyun in a low voice.

True Lord Zifeng gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "Since they insist on intervening, they are colluding with Chiyuantang, so we can solve them all at once!"

"This is a great opportunity given to me by God to unify the Red Crystal Mountains!"

True Lord Ziyun nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Okay, then let them see how powerful our Ziyun Hall is!"

Immediately after True Lord Ziyun gave an order, all the disciples of Ziyun Hall lined up.

The disciples of Chiyuan Hall and Lingfeng Hall also united to confront Ziyun Hall.

Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a deep voice suddenly came from a distance:

"stop!"

When everyone heard this, they looked up and saw an old man in a green robe flying in the air. It was the lord of Qingyun Mansion - Qingyun Zhenjun.

"Palace Master!" Everyone bowed, secretly surprised.

True Lord Qingyun landed between the two parties, glanced at everyone, and said calmly:
"Everyone, today's matter ends here. Ziyun Hall, Chiyuan Hall, and Lingfeng Hall are all forces under the command of my Qingyun Mansion. How can we kill each other?"

Upon hearing this, True Lord Zifeng and True Lord Ziyun's faces changed. They were about to open their mouths to explain, but True Lord Qingyun waved his hand and said, "Although Zhao Ping is wanted by the Holy Sect, this is all his personal matter. It is not appropriate to expand the scope and involve the sect!"

"Otherwise, according to this logic, should my Qingyun Mansion be banned as well?"

"That's all for today!" His tone left no room for doubt!
Upon hearing this, True Lord Zifeng and True Lord Ziyun were extremely unwilling.
When faced with the combination of the Qingyun Palace Master and the late Nascent Soul cultivator, he did not dare to disobey and could only bow his head and reply:
"Yes, Lord, I obey your command!"

True Lord Qingyun nodded, then looked at Fairy Xinyue and Su Yao, and said lightly: "You can go back too, I will handle this matter personally."

Fairy Xinyue and Su Yao looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

……

At the same time, in Qingyang Prefecture and Qinghefang,

This day, in the training room.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged and took out the frost dew from the storage bag.

Open the bottle.

Then pour out a drop and swallow it slowly.

He then activated the "Purple Sky Thunder Art", guiding it to circulate in the meridians, eventually transforming it into spiritual power and merging it into the Nascent Soul in the Dantian.

Zhou Xun was immersed in this wonderful state of cultivation.
When he slowly finished his exercise and opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Then he looked inward and found that his cultivation had increased a little.
"With this condensed frost dew, even if I am in a place with thin spiritual energy, I can still practice without delay!"

After completing his training, Zhou Xun rested for a while, then opened his mouth, summoned his natal thunder pool, and began his daily body tempering.

A trace of lightning arcs constantly tempered his muscles, bones and internal organs.
His body seemed to have turned into a huge iron ingot, constantly being hammered.

Just like this, several hours passed, and Zhou Xun completed his body tempering for the day.
My body is stronger than before.
He pushed open the door of the training room and walked out, and saw a girl of four or five years old riding on the back of a black-armored armadillo, floating in the air and playing.

It was Yu Xingjian's youngest daughter, Yu Siyue. She had come to play here quite often recently.
At this moment, Yu Siyue suddenly lost her grip and fell from the air. Zhou Xun flashed and caught her.

However, the moment he touched Yu Siyue's body,
Zhou Xun immediately realized something was wrong.
