Cultivation of immortality in the family

Chapter 209 Old acquaintance

When Su Mu, three people and one beast arrived at Qingxuan Island, Foreign Affairs Manager Ge Yuzi and a dozen subordinates were already waiting for them.

Ge Yuzi is an old acquaintance of the Su family.

However, because he was busy with the mundane affairs of the sect all day long, his cultivation grew slowly. After so many years, he had not yet reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.

At his current age, he should never have the chance to advance to the Golden Core Stage in this life, so he doesn't care about his cultivation at all.

"The real person has come a long way. It's been a hard journey." Ge Yuzi bowed and said.

"Fellow Taoist, there's no need to be polite." Su Mu did not act like a master.

Ge Yuzi's cultivation level is not high, but because of his deep qualifications, his connections in Qingxuan Sect are not much weaker than those of the true disciples.

"Senior Brother Taiyan was just called over by the master to discuss an urgent matter, so he asked me to greet the master here. If there is anything I didn't do well, please bear with me."

"You're welcome, fellow Taoist. I'll trouble you to make arrangements next."

After all, you are a guest from afar, and this is your home field. Su Mu is not the kind of weirdo with low emotional intelligence who puts on a show when they meet.

"By the way, distinguished guests from the East China Sea Lingqiao Palace came by invitation two days ago, accompanied by Senior Sister Jing'an. During this time, they all gathered together to discuss important matters, and told them that if a real person arrives, they can take you there. Meet up. Look, do you want to go directly there, or do you have something to deal with first?"

Su Mu didn't come here on time, but two or three days in advance. He just didn't expect someone to arrive earlier than him.

When Master Taiyan invited him, he gave some information. In addition to him, Qingxuan Sect also invited two formation masters from Lingqiao Palace. As for the specific two, there was no information. Say it clearly.

"Oh, since everyone is here, let's go together." Su Mu was really curious about which two formation masters came to the East China Sea Lingqiao Palace.

"Dad, Brother You and I won't follow you. Let's go and play with cousin Qiuguan."

On the way, Su Mu had already arranged where the two of them would go, and notified Ding Qiuguan in advance, who happened to be in Qingxuan Gate.

The reason why Su Mu was reassured that the two of them were outside and not afraid of them going around causing trouble at will was because he had sent a golden retriever to guard them, and he had already told the golden retriever not to get into trouble.

Furthermore, with Ding Qiuguan, a stable nephew, taking care of them and stipulating that they could only stay in Qingxuan Island, Su Mu had nothing to worry about.

"Go, but you guys must keep in mind what I have said these days. You must not act like you did on Huoxi Island."

Before parting, Su Mu couldn't help but give a few more words.

"I got it." Su Chen patted the golden fur that was resting in his sleeve, and walked towards Ding Qiuguan's cave under the leadership of an outer disciple of the Qingxuan Sect.

Seeing the two of them walking further and further away, Su Mu turned back and stood up.

"I wonder which two formation masters are coming from Lingqiao Palace?"

On the way, Su Mu couldn't help but ask.

He had stayed in Kunlu City in the East China Sea for ten years, and he had heard about some of the extremely talented monks in Lingqiao Palace.

The person who can be invited by Qingxuan Sect will definitely not be some unknown person.

After all, they will have to get along together in the next period of time, so it is necessary to prepare mentally in advance.

"The people coming to Lingqiao Palace this time are the Master and Disciple of Cangqing Mansion."

Speaking of which, Ge Yuzi didn't know what the sect was doing by inviting these people here. He only knew that it was enough for him to do his part.

He has been able to serve as an official in Qingxuan Sect for so many years. Apart from anything else, he has already cultivated to the point of perfection in his state of mind.

Therefore he knows what is necessary to know and what is not to inquire about.

For things like this involving the Golden Core level or above, even if someone wanted to take the initiative to tell him, he would take the opportunity to get out of the way.

"It's actually the Lord of Cangqing Palace!"

Su Mu said in surprise.

There are at least dozens of high-level monks in Lingqiao Palace, not to mention hundreds.

These people, without exception, are all top-notch people, ruthless characters who can cause earthquakes within a certain range with just a stomp of their feet.

Among them, the masters of the five palaces and the masters of the seven other palaces have the highest prestige.

Cang Qing is located in Kunlu City and is one of the seven masters of other palaces. When others hear his name, it is natural that they will hear it like thunder.

It just so happened that Su Mu had met this person several times and was extremely impressed by him.

This person not only has great magical powers, but also has a wide range of friends. I didn’t expect Qingxuan Sect to have such a relationship with the other party, and they could actually ask this person to take action.

"But I haven't heard that this Palace Master is proficient in formations!" Su Mu pondered for a moment and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

"Do you really know the master of Cangda Palace?" Seeing that the other party seemed to be thinking, Ge Yuzi couldn't help but chat.

"When I lived in Kunlu City, I actually met the Master of the Cang Palace several times. Of course I recognized him, but he may not remember me."

Even though Su Mugui is a Jindan master, he only comes from a small Jindan force. In terms of strength and status, he is far from the master of Cangda Palace.

"You are so humble. You are young and promising. In time, you will definitely become an outstanding person." Ge Yuzi flattered him calmly.

In this way, the two chatted for a while, admiring the beautiful scenery along the way, and soon reached the destination of their trip.

Youlong Pavilion.

This loft is nestled in a mountain forest.

Compared with the lively atmosphere of Fangshi outside, this place is quite quiet.

What's even more commendable is that this place is full of spiritual energy, and it is initially estimated that the concentration of spiritual energy has reached at least the third-level mid-grade.

"At first glance, this place is one of the several lofts used by Qingxuanmen to entertain guests. I didn't expect that even such an insignificant place has such great aura. It seems that Qingxuanmen's background must be unfathomable. "

In recent decades, Su Mu has visited Qingxuanmen several times and is no stranger to the environment here.

However, he usually only stayed in the outer market and did not go deep into the inner valley.

Whatever he saw and heard along the way just now indicated that Qingxuan Sect was far superior to Huoxi Island.

People have been operating here for a thousand or two thousand years, and there was even a Nascent Soul Lord, so it must be extraordinary.

This is only visible to outsiders.

Su Mu simply couldn't imagine what the other party would be like in the forbidden area of ​​the sect, or in the secret inheritance.

“I originally thought that I would be making great progress all the way, and maybe in a hundred or two hundred years, I would gradually close the gap with Qingxuan Sect.

However, along the way, just this most basic cultivation environment, without three to five hundred years of accumulation, would not be able to touch others' heels. "

It can be said that Su Mu was once again shocked by his background.

This made Su Mu become more and more curious about the fourth-level tribulation formation he had learned this time.

"Ma'am, Senior Sister Jing'an is in the attic ahead. Please come over here."

While he was talking, a pair of boys wearing bright yellow cassocks came forward. They walked up to Su Mu, bowed respectfully, and said, "Uncle Master has already prepared a banquet in Youlong Pavilion. Please come with us."

Ge Yuzi next to him made a gesture of invitation, handed Su Mu over to the two boys who came to meet him, confessed his crime, and left the place.

"Please."

Su Mu followed the two well-trained boys and walked slowly over.

He looked at the backs of the two boys and suddenly felt something strange in his heart.

He just sensed it a little bit, but he couldn't feel the innate energy in these two boys.

With his current attainment of the Seven Transformations of Qi and Blood, he is extremely sensitive to the innate energy of the human body, so he feels quite strange.

"If they don't have innate Qi, either they are very good at storing Qi and breathing; or they are not living beings, but dead objects or puppet substitutes."

With the cultivation level of these two boys in the Qi training period, no matter how good they were at storing Qi and concentrating breath, how could they hide it from Su Mu, whose cultivation level was two realms higher.

Therefore, these two boys must be the latter, which means they are puppet-like objects.

"Being able to make a puppet so lifelike that no one can notice anything unusual is a truly remarkable skill."

Even though they are just puppets at the level of Qi training, the most difficult thing to practice in this art is the state of perfection, where the fake can be confused with the real one.

When he was in Kunlu City in the East China Sea, Situ Sitong, whom Su Mu met, was proficient in the paper-cutting technique, which can also be regarded as a branch of puppetry.

However, the strength of the foundation-building stage puppets refined by Situ Sitong was indeed far superior to the two boys in front of them, but they were far inferior in terms of precision.

"From this point of view, these Jindan monks from Qingxuan Sect should not be underestimated."

Needless to say, Zhenren Taiyan, because of his attainments in herbal alchemy, he is almost firmly at the top of the Qingxuan Sect.

In the more than ten years of intensive study of alchemy, Su Mu has become more and more admired by those alchemy masters who can practice alchemy to the third level or above.

Therefore, he gradually understood why alchemy was respected as the first of the four arts of cultivation.

It is really reasonable that those alchemy masters can be respected by others and can obtain far more abundant cultivation resources than most golden elixir monks without having to travel around.

Unexpectedly, the second Qingxuan Sect Golden Pill cultivator he met was equally amazing.

Not to mention that he is also very accomplished in formations, this puppet technique alone made Su Mu amazed.

"No wonder Qingxuan Sect is about to return to Yuanying's power. Just by looking at these two Jindan monks, you can tell that their background is probably not inferior to that of Yuanying."

For some reason, Su Mu had a lot more confidence in the fact that Master Zhaode, whom he had yet to meet, had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

I'm afraid they are really inseparable.

"Ma'am, please come in."

Su Mu walked into a small courtyard in front of Youlong Pavilion under the watch of two boys.

As soon as he walked in, he saw a gray-haired old woman coming to greet him.

"This young talent should be fellow Taoist Su Mu whom Senior Brother Taiyan has always admired."

This gray-haired old woman looks skinny, but her voice is full of energy when she speaks.

Su Mu sensed it briefly and found that the aura emitted by the other party was actually weaker than his own.

It took only a short time for Su Mu to advance to the golden elixir stage, less than twenty years, so his cultivation was shallow in the early stage of the golden elixir.

Unexpectedly, there was someone even worse than him in cultivation.

"Could this person be a fake alchemy monk who borrowed the external elixir to achieve success?"

It was just the first time they met, so Su Mu didn't dare to look at the other person arbitrarily, so he could only think about it secretly in his heart.

In fact, Su Mu really guessed it right.

This Master Jing'an really managed to become Master Jindan by using Waidan.

She was able to get this opportunity among many opponents because of her outstanding talent in formations and puppets.

As early as the late stage of foundation building, she had already advanced her formation cultivation to the third level of low-grade.

However, she realized that her chances of advancing to the golden elixir stage were slim, so she had to settle for the next best thing and replace the golden elixir she had received with an outer elixir.

Anyway, with her obsession with formations, even if she is lucky enough to be promoted to Jin Dan Zhenren, she will definitely stop at the early stage of Jin Dan.

In this case, why should she take that risk? It is better to choose the one with a higher success rate.

Whether it is a real golden elixir or a fake elixir, her lifespan can be extended to about five hundred years.

The only difference is that her magical power is relatively weaker.

However, this didn't matter to her at all. She is the type who never leaves home. That is to say, twenty or thirty years ago, due to the relationship with Ziyun Secret Realm, she was once asked to help set up formations. The rest of the time, she stayed at Qingxuan Sect honestly. .

"Fellow Daoist Jing'an, you're polite." Su Mu smiled lightly and said hello as if nothing had happened.

Although the aura of the old woman in front of him was weaker than his, Su Mu could feel the oppressive feeling of the other woman.

This sense of oppression comes from the disparity in formation cultivation.

If Su Mu guessed correctly, Master Jing'an's formation cultivation had reached at least the third-level mid-level level.

"Please come in quickly. Fellow Cang Daoist Master and Disciple are resting inside. Let's go and meet up as soon as possible."

This time, with everyone's efforts, four third-level formation mages were finally gathered.

Master Jing'an was originally obsessed with formations, so she could hardly wait for such a rare opportunity.

"Please go first." Su Mu followed the other party and walked calmly to the second floor of the attic.

When they walked up, two monks, a man and a woman, looked over at the same time.

Old acquaintance!

Needless to say, Master Cang Qing, Su Mu naturally recognized him. Su Mu also recognized the other female monk. This person was Mu Yan.

"I didn't expect this person to be a third-level formation mage despite his deep secrets."

As early as when they met on Yue'er Island, Su Mu vaguely noticed that this woman's talent should be related to eye skills.

At that time, Su Mu was hiding under the sea and was almost discovered by the other party.

"It is very likely that the opponent's pupil technique has an advantage in the formation, so he can raise his formation cultivation to the third level during the foundation building period."

After not seeing each other for many years, Mu Yan's cultivation level has improved from the original late stage of foundation building to the perfect late stage of foundation building, and she is still a few steps away from the golden elixir stage.

Just when Su Mu recognized the other two, Cang Qing and the two opposite him also recognized Su Mu.
