ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 161 Senior Brother is Here
"Excuse me, how do I get to Xihe Garden?"

After getting off the flying boat, Zheng Tianlu asked the staff at the Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters.

Seeing that he was a platinum-level cultivator, the other party not only pointed the way enthusiastically, but also gave him a simple map. Fearing that he had lost his way, he also reminded him: "Are you here to participate in the Immortal Alliance Competition? But it seems that the registration closed a few days ago. However, if you apply in advance now, you can still reserve a spot in the competition five years later."

"Hey, I'm here to accompany my junior sister."

Speaking of his junior sister, Zheng Tianlu was proud: "Although my junior sister has broken through the Jindan realm, she has always been rash and impulsive. I was worried about her, so I hurried over on a flying boat and waited for a long time before I finally got the flight to Jinwu City!"

"We will feedback the opinions of the Platinum Monk, and we plan to add two more flying boats next year."

"What's the point of two ships? We earn so many spirit stones a year, but we can't improve them!"

“Don’t worry. The materials for flying boats that can carry more than a thousand people are too scarce. Our Chamber of Commerce also uses the leftovers from the major sects and Xuan Country.” The Chamber of Commerce’s resident staff sighed and spread their hands.

When large sects travel together, they bring their own flying boats with the sect's emblem.

Not to mention Xuan Country, even if there are less than a thousand people sitting there, they still have to put on a grand show. The Chamber of Commerce is a behemoth to ordinary cultivators, but in front of them they can only pick up the leftovers.

"There's no rush. Once the Immortal Alliance Competition is over, my junior sister will be able to go back to Lihuo Island with me. Even if we can't catch the flying boat, as a Jindan cultivator, it will be easy for her to fly a sword for thousands of miles."

"Haha, your junior sister is amazing."

"That's not."

Tian Xiao, who was standing in the corner with his arms folded, glanced at the two of them and thought to himself that it was not easy to work in the Chamber of Commerce these days.

Zheng Tianlu said goodbye to him contentedly and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go."

"Ah."

"What were you smiling at me for?"

"In theory, I won't say anything that my boss doesn't like to hear."

"Just tell me."

Tian Xiao: "I was amused by your unintentional exposure of my junior sister."

On the way from Lihuo Island, he and his boss showed off his junior sister in Jindan realm in different ways to every cultivator they met and talked to. He would mention it whenever he had a chance, and even if he didn't, he would create opportunities. At the beginning, the boss even showed off his nouveau riche Tianbula hand, showing off how many elixirs he prepared for his junior sister, and Tianxiao's advice to him not to show off his wealth was useless.

When they changed boats to rest halfway, Tian Xiao dealt with two independent cultivators who wanted to kill people and rob, and only then did Zheng Tianlu behave himself.

Zheng Tianlu snorted twice: "My junior sister is just that good."

"Yes, yes, boss, you are right."

The two soon arrived at Xihe Garden.

The Nine Yang Sect's steward stopped them and asked them to show their passes: "Each participant can bring two to three people into the park. Which participant are you coming with? If you don't have a pass, you can register here first, and then come back to apply after you get to know each other."

After seeing Zheng Tianlu write down the three words "Du Xinghe", the deacon was obviously startled: "Who are you to the cultivator Du? She registered as an independent cultivator."

Zheng Tianlu was surprised: "Self-cultivator? Didn't she build a small sect?"

The deacon looked embarrassed: "The small sect she mentioned is not in the Immortal Alliance, so she can only register as an independent cultivator."

As soon as the other party said this, Zheng Tianlu remembered that there was such a condition: "Does a casual cultivator have to live in a very poor room?"

This is not entirely discrimination against independent cultivators.

Xihe Garden has a limited area. Even if it is expanded with space magic, it is still a bit difficult to accommodate all the participants and accompanying personnel who come to the Immortal Alliance Competition. There are always good and bad rooms. As for the allocation of rooms, it is ranked according to the contribution and influence of the sects to the Immortal Alliance. If the independent cultivators do not contribute, they can only live in the most ordinary houses.

"Don't worry, no matter how poor the house is in Xihe Garden, it is still spacious enough to live in."

The deacon made a gesture and the mist condensed into a model of a room.

Zheng Tianlu looked carefully and said, "I saw it in the utility room, but where is the bedroom?"

“This is the bedroom.”

The deacon's eyebrows twitched, thinking that he was here to find fault on purpose.

Zheng Tianlu took a deep breath, feeling unbearable pain in his heart——

His Jindan Junior Sister actually lives in such a small and poor place!

And his poor nephews!

"No, no, she is actually a registered disciple of our Miaohuo Sect. She needs to be upgraded to a higher cabin."

Wonderful Fire Gate...

The deacon looked it up in the Immortal Alliance Record and found that it was actually at the very front.

Miaohuo Sect is not large in scale, and it cannot even be considered a sect. It is more like an "Alchemist Mutual Aid Association", uniting weak alchemists so that they can stand on the same side when things go wrong. But because of the alchemists, it is the long-term and stable source of elixirs for the Immortal Alliance. When the sects in the Immortal Alliance that do not have alchemists need to use alchemists, they all invite alchemists through Miaohuo Sect.

"Do you have any identification?" After learning that the other party was an alchemist, the deacon's attitude became much more polite, and he also realized that the other party was not intentionally picky.

Which of the alchemists of Miaohuo Sect is not extremely wealthy?

The most ordinary house is no less than a prison cell for them.

"Here."

Zheng Tianlu took out his badge and was very reasonable: "If a registered disciple cannot enjoy the same benefits, can I ask for help? I can upgrade her housing at my own expense."

There are plenty of spirit stones, so it is naturally impossible to let my junior sister suffer unnecessary hardship.

After checking the badge and confirming Zheng Tianlu's identity, the deacon said quickly: "Of course, you can, you don't have to pay any more, and there are discounts for buying spiritual food in the cafeteria. Please wait a moment, I will go see which room is vacant in the Tianpin room."

After a while, the butler holding two hand cards came back and said, "Considering that there are five of you, and that you have been blessed by Miaohuomen in the past, I have decided to allocate an extra Tianpin room to you so that you can live in a more spacious place."

Du Xinghe was only a registered disciple of Miaohuo Sect, and the two disciples she brought with her were like gifts.

But when Zheng Tianlu came to the sect with the identity of Miaohuo Sect, Jiuyang Sect was not only willing to give them a favor, but also took every aspect into consideration for them.

The deacon notified the higher-ups layer by layer, and every member of the Nine Yang Sect who learned that Du Xinghe was already a registered disciple of the Miao Huo Sect had mixed feelings and complicated emotions.

Seeing the other party's sincerity, Zheng Tianlu smiled:
"I will convey this to the Sect Master."

Declining the steward's suggestion to send someone to personally take him to the Tianpin Room, Zheng Tianlu simply asked for a map of Xihe Garden and found the Dipin Room where Du Xinghe and his group originally lived. After Zheng Tianlu knocked on the door, he only saw a pig face, hesitantly saying:
"I think I went the wrong way..."

"Uncle Master!"

Shenshui's eyes lit up, and he looked around him: "Why are you here? And Brother Tianxiao, I remember you, you took me flying over here."

"Didn't your master tell you that I was coming to give her the elixir? You probably forgot." After recognizing Shenshui, Zheng Tianlu skillfully found a good excuse for his junior sister. He looked at his face and said, "Don't move. How did you get beaten like this? Is the Immortal Alliance Competition really so dangerous?"

The little junior apprentice's face was as swollen as a pig's head, and Zheng Tianlu almost didn't recognize him at first glance.

Hearing this, Shenshui's expression became a little excited, with tears flashing in his eyes: "Master uncle still cares about me!"

He told the whole story of how his master had thrown him to a peak Jindan physical practitioner for training.

—— Jiang Zeman, who got the new weapon, felt that he had received a great favor from Du Xinghe, but he had no way to repay her. After all, her cultivation was higher than his, so she didn't need to ask him for help when she had something. After much thought, he came up with the idea of ​​repaying her by doing a better job of doing the thing she had asked him to do before.

In this story of giving a favor in return for a favor, Shenshui is the plum.

Whenever Jiang Zeman had free time, he would come to Shenshui to discuss things.

According to the three meals a day.

There were snacks and desserts between the three meals. They beat Shenshui into a pig's head and taught him while beating him. The frequency of their appearance in the martial arts arena had caused some monks to whisper that they had some masochistic fetish. However, Shenshui's fighting skills were greatly improved in each exchange, and he felt pain and happiness.

After hearing this, Zheng Tianlu took a deep breath and said, "I thought sword cultivators were the scariest. I didn't expect that there are always people who are better than you. I will never complain to Master about my slow progress in alchemy. Slow progress is good. At least it's safe."

Shenshui looked over expectantly: "Why don't I make the elixir together with my uncle?"

His uncle touched his head gently and said, "You don't have the talent."

The tail of the ginseng suddenly drooped down.

"Where is your master?"

Zheng Tianlu asked.

Shenshui said that he was dragged to the martial arts arena by Brother Jiang right after he finished the competition. After he was beaten into a pig's head, it was Brother Jiang who carried him back to the house to rest: "Master went to compete, Senior Sister... When Master was taking a bath, Senior Sister was eager to feed him fruit, so she must have followed him. Do you want to go find Master?"

Zheng Tianlu took out some herbs that can reduce swelling and dissolve blood stasis from one of his storage rings, wrapped them in cloth, squeezed out the juice, and applied it to Shenshui's wound, and instructed: "Wash your body with cold water after an hour."

"Thank you, Uncle Master. You are so kind to me."

Shenshui lay down obediently to rest, and the admiring words satisfied Zheng Tianlu's desire to be an elder.

In Miaohuo Sect, he is the youngest.

Here, he is both the senior brother and the uncle.

Oh, I have to take good care of the younger ones!
"Let's go find Xinghe."

Zheng Tianlu said as he walked, with a look of longing on his face: "I haven't seen her for a long time. The last time I heard about her was from you... I should have asked you to use the photo stone last time, so that I could see if she had lost weight."

Hearing this, Tian Xiao looked at him in disbelief.

Zheng Tianlu: "What's wrong?"

Tian Xiao said calmly, "When I saw her, she was being hunted by the people from the Samsara Institute, and you asked me to take a picture with the photo stone. Are you afraid that there won't be any evidence?"

"..."

Zheng Tianlu closed his mouth unhappily.

Well-protected alchemists all have a kind of naivety that is ignorant of the world. In this regard, he knew that he was not as good as his senior sister Wen Shuyu. After a while, he whispered: "If I do something stupid again next time, remember to remind me."

Tian Xiao: "I'm a thug."

Using your brain has another price.

Fortunately, Zheng Tianlu was very sensible. He waved his hand and said, "I'll pay more."

Tian Xiao nodded and agreed.

The Hundred Competitions was held in the core area of ​​Xihe Garden. A small number of participants were seriously injured in the competition, and their faith was shaken. Even after being cured by the doctors of Jiuyang Sect, they still chose to give up the competition and go home. As a result, the number of people on the competition was slightly less than that of the first day.

The second stage in the first row on the left has the largest number of spectators.

There was no exciting fighting scene on the ring, only a purple mist filling the entire barrier.

"Why are there so many people over there? I can't see anything."

Zheng Tianlu raised his hand to block the sunlight and squinted his eyes.

Even if one focuses spiritual power on his eyes, he can only see farther at best, but cannot see through the obstruction of the black fog.

Tian Xiao who was beside him said suddenly, "It's right there."

"Ah?" He didn't react.

For the sake of the spirit stone, Tian Xiao patiently repeated, "Du Xinghe is there."

"What did you see?"

"I can feel it." Seeing the bewildered look on the face of the gold owner, Tian Xiao thought for a moment and explained, "You will understand when you enter the Golden Core Realm."

"..."

Listen quietly to the sound of Xiaolu's self-esteem shattering into pieces.

The two men walked to the bottom of the arena and vaguely felt that the cultivation level of the newcomer was much higher than theirs. The originally densely packed crowd immediately made way for the newcomer.

Zheng Tianlu stood on tiptoe and took a closer look, but still couldn't make out what was going on: "What a mess it is, I can't see a thing!"

"The person opposite is Wu Xiu Luo Sha Ya from the Huan Ling Sect."

Perhaps it was because the fog surrounded him so tightly that the monks who were watching the whole process were bored and kindly explained to him: "Brother Luo has turned his whole body into fog and wrapped Brother Du. It has been half an hour, and the winner has not been decided yet."

Hearing that he had been wrapped up for half an hour, Zheng Tianlu couldn't help but look worried.

However, Tian Xiao on the side raised his eyebrows, with a strange look on his face.

He still remembered that the sword cultivator was not only very skilled in swordsmanship, but also very particular about the use of poisons. How could he be afraid of the mist cultivator? The mist cultivator was most afraid of poison.

After thinking about it, Tian Xiao understood.

Most of them regard the poison as a trump card and are unwilling to expose it easily.

She is indeed smarter than her senior brother.

……

What Du Xinghe thought was exactly what Tian Xiao guessed.

The image of Gu cultivators in Pingyun Palace is very ambiguous. Although the appearance of a Gu cultivator will not be regarded as a threat and people will still be wary of him, others will secretly think that he has gone astray... However, Tian Xiao only guessed half of it.

The most important reason for not using poison in a competition that is meant to be stopped at the last minute is that Du Xinghe has no antidote for most poisons.

Just play, don’t worry about the solution.

Poisoning others to death in the arena during the ten-day competition is tantamount to making enemies with the other sect, which is not worth it.

Luo Shaya, who was competing with her today, was a female cultivator who was only 1.5 meters tall and had a face as sweet and soft as a peach. She bowed to her behind the stage and asked Senior Du to teach her...

Du Xinghe asked her, "How do you want to teach?"

"My cultivation is not as good as Senior Du's. I am afraid that before I can even figure out the Mist Transformation Technique, I will be sent off the stage by Senior's sword. So I want to be thick-skinned and ask Senior to let me have a move, so that I can at least fight with Senior for a few moves."

Luoshaya puffed up her cheeks and begged her with her palms clasped together.

This was the first time they had met, and she knew that her request was excessive, but the opportunity to fight with a Jindan senior was extremely rare, and she wanted to try to seize it.

Just when she thought she was going to be rejected, a beautiful and clear female voice sounded in front of her: "Okay."

Luo Shaya almost doubted her ears: "Eh...?"

"I said yes."

Du Xinghe didn't even draw his sword, but stood in front of her in a very relaxed manner.

There is an objective gap between the two's cultivation and strength. Du Xinghe just took this opportunity to see how his Zhenwu Incarnation Technique is going.

Of course, she did not admit the second reason.

She was easily moved by the girl's sincere request, and would do it if it was just a piece of cake.

"Thank you, senior!!!"

Rakshasa jumped up on the spot with joy.

The next moment, she made hand gestures and chanted a spell, and her whole body turned into a thick lavender mist that completely enveloped the arena.

Du Xinghe stood in the middle of the fog, waiting for changes.

In the fog, a person who looked exactly like her walked out and attacked with a sword.

She did not dodge or evade, and the sword that hit her disappeared into mist in an instant.

Du Xinghe said calmly:

"Illusions don't work on me. Let's try another trick."

People shrouded in fog will see the existence they fear most attacking them. Luoshaya cannot understand her heart, so she has to create another self.

Because she felt that the strongest person in Senior Du's heart should be herself.

The more the person under the illusion believes in it, the more powerful the illusion becomes.

With Du Xinghe's purple wisdom eyes able to see through the illusion, the illusion couldn't even leave a single sword wound on her body.

"Senior Du is really amazing. Let me try another move."

Luoshaya's voice came from all directions, like surround sound.

Combined with her illusion skills, it is really suitable to be a private cinema.

Du Xinghe simply sat down in the center of the ring and let her attack.

The dreamy purple mist wrapped around her body like a snake's tail, causing streaks of green - after strengthening herself through the Zhenwu Incarnation Technique, all attacks were blocked one by one, making it difficult to hurt her at all.

Rakshasa didn’t give up.

So there was this half-hour long test.

When Zheng Tianlu was extremely worried, Luo Shaya surrendered breathlessly: "I can't beat Senior Du, but before I admit defeat, can you let me feel Senior Du's magic?"

——I want to be beaten, but I have never been beaten by a Jindan cultivator.

Du Xinghe was surprised: "There is actually such a request?"

“Please, please, please,” Luoshaya begged, “After I turn into mist, the sword cultivators’ attacks on me are almost useless. I want to experience the feeling of being defeated in mist form.”

Du Xinghe pondered and turned into mist, making him visible but not touchable.

Even if the sword is drawn, the mist will slide away from both sides of the sword.

The other party was humbly asking for advice, she couldn't just poison him to death.

Du Xinghe hesitated for a while before finally drawing his sword.

Are you going to chop her up?
Luoshaya, who turned into mist, couldn't help but secretly get close to Senior Du.

She really admired this beautiful and powerful swordsman sister.

Hehe, Sister Jian Xiu is so nice...

In a flash, Du Xinghe made a spell with one hand to gather the water spirit, and then quietly drew his sword. The thick water spirit gushed out, and then evaporated in an instant. The fog became heavier, almost becoming a large cloud. The water vapor made the voice have a gentle and moist feeling:

"This is my first time using Borrowed Morning Dew like this."

Lightning burst out in the clouds, this is a thunder-based group attack spell!

When forming the elixir, Du Xinghe formed five elixirs and began to be able to use spells from other spiritual roots, but their strength was not as strong as his original three spiritual roots.

But, it’s enough.

She used the morning dew to strengthen the moisture in the fog, so that her Thunder Technique would not consume too much spiritual power.

Electric light moved everywhere, shocking Luoshaya and making her dizzy, while also evaporating most of the mist, and the purple mist became thinner.

When Luoshaya's spiritual power was not enough to support the Mist Transformation Technique, she transformed from a ball of mist back into human form and fell straight onto the stage.

The expected pain did not come.

She fell into a warm embrace.

Luo Shaya opened her eyes dazedly, the current still running through her limbs from time to time, causing her fingers to twitch slightly subconsciously, and it took a long time for her eyes to focus successfully -

What caught my eye was the beautifully-shaped chin of Watari-senpai.

"You didn't faint?"

Du Xinghe looked down at her and curved his lips: "Very strong."

Luo Shaya's heart almost stopped beating, but fortunately the remaining lightning made up for it and played the role of cardiac pacing. She rolled her eyes and leaned against her chest weakly: "Senior Du, you are so powerful, I admit defeat."

"Can you walk on your own?"

"I still feel a little dizzy..."

Luoshaya said softly.

How could a Jindan cultivator be weak? Each of them had an extraordinary physique. She was not as talented as Du Xinghe, and she was much older than her. However, the Huanling Sect had a way to keep her youthful appearance, so she still maintained a 16-year-old childish appearance, like a little sister who needed protection.

When Du Xinghe was considering whether to call for medical help, Xinyue, who could no longer bear it, jumped onto the stage.

She pulled the female cultivator out of her master's arms and poured her spiritual energy into her: "You're not dizzy anymore now, are you?"

——Authentic water spiritual root, the medical effect is praised by all who have used it.

Luoshaya suddenly felt no more headache or fever.

Except for the exhaustion of spiritual energy, her condition was better than before she went on stage. She wanted to get close to Senior Du, but she saw the monk next to Senior Du staring at her unkindly. She swallowed and had to admit:

"Uh... I'm not dizzy anymore..."

Woo woo, so fierce!

How come the gentle and kind Senior Du is followed by such a vicious monk!

"Okay, let's go back."

Senior Du touched the evil man's head. Xinyue, who had just wanted to tear a piece of flesh off Luoshaya with her eyes, immediately became as obedient as a kitten, and her voice softened: "Okay, Master, let's go back. Master, are you injured anywhere?"

"Do you think I look injured?" Du Xinghe asked back.

"Safety first, I have to check for Master."

Xinyue took this opportunity to pinch her master's arm.

Du Xinghe's attention had been drawn to her clingy disciple. When she heard the rapid footsteps of "da da da da", she hadn't yet associated it with herself, until a small round face got bigger and bigger. A second before she drew her sword to knock the newcomer away, she saw clearly that the newcomer was her senior brother. In this critical moment, she sheathed the sword that had been pulled out an inch, caught him steadily, and asked with a smile:

"Brother, why are you here?"

She thought her senior brother was joking when he said he wanted to come see her in the master-disciple group, and did not take it seriously.

Therefore, I didn’t mention it to Xinyue and Canshui.

"You have to come if you said you would! I'm so worried about you, Junior Sister!"

For a cultivator, a year or two is a short time to be apart. It takes more than this time to go into seclusion. Why did Du Xinghe go there? She went to the Mercy Sea to stand up for the mermaids, rescued the sea master, fought against the Black Tooth City, and then slaughtered the branch of the Samsara Academy. She was chased by her enemies and almost lost her life, not to mention the many dangers in the Torch-level secret realm.

Zheng Tianlu spent every day in the medicine garden refining elixirs and taking care of his master's spiritual fields. After learning the news about his junior sister from the jade edict, he became extremely worried.

Du Xinghe felt like a traveling frog.

But how can a traveling frog risk its life?

Zheng Tianlu was really afraid that the junior sister he had finally gotten would die silently in some corner, and he didn't even know where to collect her body. According to her style, he might have to pick up the body piece by piece to piece it together into a human shape.

All he could do was to make money by refining pills.

He hugged Du Xinghe, with only the concern and longing for his junior brother in his heart. When the words came to his lips, he actually burst into tears: "Fortunately, the spirit stones I prepaid for Tian Xiao came in handy. Fortunately, fortunately."

Fortunately, when the Samsara Institute hired a killer, they happened to choose Tian Xiao, who had been bribed by him.

Otherwise, Du Xinghe would find it difficult to escape from the siege of so many people.

For an alchemist who spends a long time in the greenhouse, dealing with alchemy furnaces and medicinal herbs, the life of a swordsman is too thrilling and far beyond his acceptance.

If it were someone else, Zheng Tianlu would just sigh and take two steps back. If you want to die, then go ahead and don’t let your blood splatter on him.

But this person is now his junior sister.

So he put down the alchemy furnace, handed the medicine garden to the King of Medicine Ginseng, and traveled thousands of miles to the site of the Immortal Alliance Competition.

"Junior sister, are you injured anywhere?"

Zheng Tianlu pushed Du Xinghe away and looked up and down.

She was a golden elixir sword cultivator, but she didn't dare to resist.

He was afraid that the force was too great and he lost control, so he slapped his brother away.

"Brother, you worry too much. There aren't many people who can hurt me. At most, I'll just waste some of my spiritual energy."

She maintained the Zhenwu Incarnation Technique for half an hour and then used the Thunder Technique, which did make her a little tired.

As soon as Du Xinghe finished speaking, his hand felt heavy.

Zheng Tianlu poured a mountain of pills into her palm: "Restoring Spirit Pills! Restoring Qi Pills! Don't worry, they are all top-grade pills. The poison in the pills will be expelled in one breath."

The better the quality of the elixir, the thinner the elixir poison it brings during its refining.

Top-grade elixirs are almost free of elixir poison, at least they cannot affect Jindan cultivators.

As soon as Zheng Tianlu said this, the monks who were originally watching the fun changed their expressions.

He gave her the top-grade Huiling Pill as soon as he said so, and even poured it out in a pile, letting her eat it by the pound like candy beans. He was so generous.

It’s not that the Hui Lingdan is so rare, the key point is that it is of heavenly quality.

Du Xinghe asked him to put away the Huiling Pill: "Why do you need to take the pill? I will just meditate for a while."

I couldn't resist and took two pills.

After Du Xinghe swallowed the Huiling Pill, a clear and spiritual energy rushed straight from her dantian to the top of her head. She felt indescribably comfortable and relaxed. The spiritual power that had been lost was restored at a speed that could be felt by the flesh, so she could easily defeat two more Jindan cultivators immediately.

After Xinyue's rough treatment, Luoshaya, who had fully recovered, came over curiously: "Isn't Senior Du a casual cultivator? Why do you have a senior brother?"

Du Xinghe: "I'll learn..."

She wanted to say that she had learned a little about alchemy, which was why she was fortunate enough to become a registered disciple of Miaohuo Sect.

As a result, Zheng Tianlu took a look at the several Nine Yang Sect disciples around him and shouted, "My junior sister is a rare alchemy genius. My master, Master Rong Yu, cherished her talent and took into consideration that she did not want to give up swordsmanship, so he only accepted her as a nominal disciple. But in our hearts, she is the dearest, dearest, dearest little junior sister!"
