Cultivation of immortality in the family

Chapter 337 Golden Elixir Ceremony

Qingxuan Island.

When a third-level sea-going ship returning from the East China Sea stopped at the dock, more than forty monks filed out of the ship.

It was just in the evening, when the golden sunset shone on the Lingfeng Peak on the island, and the halo of light made everyone squint.

However, instead of feeling dazzling, these people felt extremely friendly.

Looking at the mountain gate that they had not seen for decades, these people were all filled with emotion.

Recalling that a few decades ago, a group of nearly two hundred monks also set out from here and headed for the East China Sea.

At that time, they had high morale and shared the same hatred of the enemy. They relied on the righteousness in their hearts just to show some color to those people with hair and horns.

The East China Sea is not the East China Sea of ​​the demon clan, but the East China Sea of ​​all spirits.

However, what happened next surprised them.

The man with hair and horns whom they looked down upon actually showed a strong will and was not defeated by the human monks.

Over the years, both sides have won and lost, and fights have come and gone.

Since it is a battle, there must be casualties.

The more intense the battle, the more casualties there will be.

Therefore, in order to survive in that environment, in addition to luck, more strength is needed.

Due to the fierce fighting situation, their companions who could not return with them are no longer known where they are buried.

Nowadays, most of the faces from back then have completely disappeared, and even the figures of those people have slowly become blurred in the minds of the survivors until they are completely forgotten.

However, these forty people have long been accustomed to life and death, and their hearts are tempered harder than steel.

However, when they looked at the door of their dreaming home right in front of them, their eyes suddenly became filled with moisture, and tears fell silently.

They finally went home.

At this moment, they finally knew the importance of home in their hearts.

"Qiuguan, does our gambling fight count?" A monk with a resolute face wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, casually poked the other person next to him with his elbow, raised his chin slightly, and seemed to have a smile on his face. It's a joke.

A closer look reveals that this person has already reached a perfect level of cultivation in the late stage of foundation building.

He is Jiang Nian, the true disciple of Qingxuan Sect.

After so many years of experience, Jiang Nian exudes an intimidating aura that makes people tremble with fear just by looking at him.

This kind of momentum must be cultivated in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Similarly, Ding Qiuguan, who was stabbed by Jiang Nian, was not much less powerful, and his cultivation had also reached the perfection of the late stage of foundation building.

"Of course it counts. Whoever succeeds in forming the elixir first will own the magic weapon." Ding Qiuguan responded nonchalantly.

Although the relationship between the two of them seems to be full of gunpowder, in fact, their relationship is better than that of their fellow disciples.

If the two hadn't encouraged each other and formed a tacit understanding of chasing after each other, they might not have known where they died.

"Okay, let's see who can walk ahead of the other." After hearing this, Jiang Nian burst into laughter.

Afterwards, everyone parted.

Ding Qiuguan did not return to his cave to rest, but walked all the way to a back mountain of Qingxuanmen.

It seems that this back hill is dotted with hundreds of cemeteries, large and small.

The cemetery here is slightly different from those in other places. Only those disciples who have made certain contributions to Qingxuan Sect have the opportunity to be buried here.

Therefore, the cemetery is regularly cared for and cleaned by outside disciples.

Ding Qiuguan followed the memory in his mind and walked to a tombstone in the corner.

He touched the tombstone as usual, wiped away some dust with his own hands, and then took out a bottle of wine from the storage bag.

As soon as the wine bottle is opened, a refreshing aroma of wine is emitted.

Even a monk who is not good at this would probably want to taste it for himself after smelling the aroma of this wine.

"Master, this is the third-level fine wine that my disciple brought back from the East China Sea, specially brought to you to taste."

After finishing speaking, Ding Qiuguan directly poured half of the bottle of wine in front of the tomb. He took the other half in his hand and took a big gulp of it.

The green wine flowed down his tongue and into his throat, and the sweet taste made people indulge in it.

Ding Qiuguan simply sat cross-legged, as if his master was still alive, and slowly told him about the past years.

Back then, because of Su Mu's secret protection, he actually could have gone to the East China Sea without being called upon.

However, after his parents passed away, followed by the ancestor of the Ding family, finally even his master who had always loved him passed away, leaving only a sigh.

Ding Qiuguan seemed to see himself a hundred years later, unable to condense the golden elixir, and eventually his life span was exhausted, leaving only a cup of loess.

Therefore, without telling others, he secretly boarded a ship heading to the East China Sea and found the large army.

Ding Qiuguan did not dare to recall the past experiences of these years.

However, it is not that he has gained nothing, at least his current determination is extraordinary.

Moreover, in that tense state, he finally reached the completion of the later stage of foundation building and got a chance to make a breakthrough.

But what people didn't expect was that it seemed that the race war in the East China Sea suddenly came to an end, so they were able to take off their armor and return home.

That's fine, he can come back and seek a breakthrough. If he can reach the golden elixir stage, his persistence for so many years will not be in vain.

Next, he took a sip from time to time and recounted the events of the past years one by one.

Unknowingly, the willow branches were falling on the moon, and he was so drunk that he fell drunk directly in front of the tomb.

In the early morning, when rays of sunlight shone on Ding Qiuguan's face, he woke up instantly, and then checked the situation around him very quickly.

It was only when he caught a glimpse of his surroundings that he suddenly realized it.

At this moment, a ray of fire flew from a distance and headed straight for this place.

When the firelight faded away, it turned out to be just an ordinary transmission note.

Ding Qiuguan took it smoothly, and a familiar voice immediately came from the talisman. He recognized that the owner of the voice was none other than Su Dingchan, whom he had not seen for many years.

So, he bid farewell to his master and hurried back to his cave.

At this time, Su Dingchan was waiting anxiously at the entrance of Ding Qiu Guandong Mansion.

Yesterday, after hearing the news that many monks had returned from the East China Sea, he stayed up all night and originally planned to come to visit immediately. However, considering that these people must be very tired physically and mentally from the long journey, they endured until early morning.

Unexpectedly, when he came here, he came to nothing and could only send a transmission note to find the person.

Seeing Ding Qiuguan walking towards him, Su Dingchan showed a knowing smile on his face.

"Qiuguan, your trip was not in vain. I didn't expect that your cultivation level was so great." After noticing Ding Qiuguan's cultivation level, Su Dingchan was shocked and dumbfounded.

However, seeing the slightly tired look on the other party's face, Su Dingchan knew that the other party must have suffered a lot.

"We haven't seen him for many years. Dingchan's cultivation has also improved a lot." Ding Qiuguan was also very happy when he saw Su Dingchan.

"Compared with you, my slight progress is nothing to mention." Su Dingchan smiled awkwardly.

Indeed, Ding Qiuguan is already in the late stage of foundation building and is only one step away from the golden elixir stage. However, he is still only in the middle stage of foundation building. There is no comparison at all.

"If I had known, I would have sneaked over there with you."

But at the end, Su Dingchan's voice became lower and lower, and in the end it was almost as quiet as the buzzing of a mosquito.

That's what he said, but Su Dingchan obviously didn't have the drive to break the boat.

The reason why Ding Qiuguan was able to escape in the first place was actually thanks to Su Dingchan's cooperation. If he hadn't conveyed false news to Su Xian, Huoxi Island would have known about Ding Qiuguan's whereabouts, and perhaps he would have been captured by his great-uncle Su Mu.

Over the years, although Su Mu almost stayed on Lingkong Island, he didn't worry much about the affairs of Huoxi Island.

However, who knows that the other party's alchemy skills are superb? Even the headmaster and the supreme elder of Lingqiao Palace have to sell his face.

With the status of the other party, it is not easy to take care of several junior foundation disciples.

"Thanks to you covering up for me all these years, otherwise I would have been betrayed long ago. However, now I am finally back unscathed, so you don't have to worry about my safety all the time." Ding Qiuguan patted the other party's shoulder, said gratefully.

"Luckily you're back, otherwise you and I might have suffered during the Golden Elixir celebration in three days."

"What kind of golden elixir celebration?" Ding Qiuguan asked doubtfully.

"Oh, you have been staying in the East China Sea all these years, so I'm afraid you don't know what happened on Huoxi Island. As early as a year ago, Su Chen had successfully formed the elixir. Now, the war on the East China Sea has just stopped, so Huoxi Island Xi Dao then found a date and told me to wait until we got back to hold a small family gathering."

"Su Chen successfully formed the elixir?" Ding Qiuguan was also shocked by the news after hearing the news.

However, when he thought that the other party had the qualifications of the Earth Spiritual Root, he felt clear in his heart.

If he also had the qualifications of Earth Spiritual Root, there would be no need to spend so much effort.

"Well, so I came to inform you early in the morning. During this time, you just have a good rest. By then, you and I will go back together, and Huoxi Island will be unable to investigate. However, this time Jin During the Dan Festival, my great-uncle will definitely come back from Lingkong Island, so don’t reveal your secret.”

Seeing Ding Qiuguan's slightly tired look, Su Dingchan knew that he couldn't disturb him, but before leaving, he still carefully agreed to take advantage of the two or three days to discuss it again to avoid being caught. .

Upon hearing that his seventh uncle would definitely attend the ceremony, Ding Qiuguan couldn't help but become nervous again.

Maybe Su Dingchan and others are far away in the Star Luo Islands and are not very clear about Su Mu's true status in Lingqiao Palace now, but since Ding Qiuguan has been staying there all these years, it is true that his ears are almost hearing the cocoon.

The seventh uncle came from a small family, but he suddenly became the most popular top alchemist in Lingqiao Palace. He has been regarded as a lifelong idol by countless low-level monks, and has almost reached the point where everyone knows it. Even the reputation of Huoxi Island has also Extremely loud.

If Su Mu hadn't kept a low profile, he would probably have hundreds of thousands of supporters. It can be said that wherever there are monks, you can hear the other party's inspiring past.

"No wonder Su Chen's golden elixir ceremony is only limited to a small area. If outsiders know about it, tens of thousands of monks will flood into the Star Luo Sea area in an instant!"

The next day, when Ding Qiuguan and Su Dingchan were discussing some details in the cave, there was an unexpected visitor outside the cave.

The two of them walked out and saw that it was Uncle Tai Yan who came in person.

"Master Nephew Ding Qiuguan (Su Dingchan) has met Master Taiyan!" The two of them looked at each other and bowed quickly.

Master Taiyan looked at the two of them with a smile and said kindly: "So you two are here!"

"I wonder if my uncle came here in person, what are his orders?" Ding Qiuguan asked in confusion.

Although both of them are true disciples of the sect, they do not have the chance to meet Jin Dan. What's more, because of the noble status of the other party, he actually came to the door in person, which really left the two monks Zhang Er scratching their heads.

"I didn't take the order seriously. I was just entrusted by the Supreme Elder to inquire about some things."

"I heard that you two are going back to Huoxi Island tomorrow. Is there any problem?"

After finishing speaking, Master Taiyan looked at the two people opposite him intently.

"To tell you the truth, my two senior brothers do plan to return home tomorrow."

"So it seems that the ancestor of the Su family held a golden elixir ceremony for his youngest son, Master Su Chen." After hearing this, Master Taiyan smoothed his three-inch beard with his hand.

"By the way, in that case, could you please take three or five more people with you on this trip?"

Seeing the embarrassed expressions of Ding Qiuguan and Ding Qiuguan, Master Taiyan continued:

"Don't worry, the Supreme Elder and I are both old acquaintances of the Su family, and they won't blame you."

……

The next day, Su Dingchan and Ding Qiuguan took the Qingxuanmen's top-notch third-level sea-going ship to Huoxi Island.

Along with them were three sect leaders, including Supreme Elder Zhaode Zhenjun, sect leader Ji Yueming and Taiyan Zhenren.

The opponent's formation was really too big, so that Su Dingchan and Su Dingchan were still a little uneasy.

It was agreed that it was just a small gathering within the family, and they didn't know if they would offend Uncle Tai and others by bringing people back casually.

However, when they drove the ship to the southern region of the archipelago and saw extremely luxurious ships heading to Huoxi Island from time to time, their original uneasiness gradually disappeared.

At this moment, the entire Huoxi Island was different from its usual tranquility. Almost all members of the Su family were mobilized.

I don’t know how the news of this golden elixir ceremony, which was a family gathering, got leaked. Since early in the morning, some acquaintances have been coming to the door one after another.

As the saying goes, everyone who comes is a guest. Since the guests have come to the door on their own initiative, the Su family naturally has no reason to turn people away and can only welcome them in.

As the number of guests gradually increased, not only Su Xian, but also Su Mu had to come out to entertain the guests in person.
