Who cares about childhood sweethearts when they can become immortals?

Chapter 172 Meet again

"Aji, long time no see!"

At the door of Fengtian Taoist Temple in Fengtian Mansion, Xu Ji was waiting quietly. Soon he saw that the space at the door was slightly distorted and someone walked out of the small world of Hutian inside. The person came with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a rough figure. The moment he saw Xu Ji Then he hooked his hand up, and there was no sense of strangeness at all that he hadn't seen each other for more than a year.

Xu Ji smiled and said, "I happened to go to Fengtian Mansion to do a mission this time. I happened to think that you were admitted to Fengtian Taoist Academy, so I just happened to see how your cultivation was going."

The smile on Zhong Longhu's face faded slightly when he heard this, and asked: "Are you having trouble with the mission? Do you need my help?"

Xu Ji smiled and shook his head and said: "That's not necessary. My mission has been completed. What's more, how did you feel in Fengtian Taoist Temple this year? I think the environment here is not the same as our Fengling Mansion. At least, are you still used to it?”

Zhong Longhu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This poor environment is far worse than our Fengling Mansion. The weather is hot and dry almost all year round, especially in the small world of Hutian in Fengtian Taoist Temple. By the way , since you are here today, how about I take you in for a walk?"

Xu Ji nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, you are the host today, I will follow you around."

"Okay, wait for me then, and I'll get you a temporary access token."

Zhong Longhu smiled and turned around and went back to Fengtian Taoist Academy to redeem a temporary pass token for Xu Ji. Although the points required to redeem a temporary pass token were not a small amount for him, but for his own good Since my brother came to see me, I naturally couldn't be stingy as the host.

As he spoke, the gap between the thumb and index finger of Xu Ji's right hand continued to decrease, as if he was demonstrating the credibility of his words to Zhong Longhu.

Zhong Longhu was slightly startled. If Xu Ji treated his father as his own brother, then he should call Xu Ji... uncle? !

"By the way, don't lose this token, otherwise I will have to sell myself to pay off the debt." Zhong Longhu added that after Xu Ji leaves, he still needs to return this temporary access token. Then you pay according to the borrowed time. If you accidentally lose the token, you may sell yourself to pay off the debt, but it is not necessarily a joke.

Xu Ji laughed, stretched out the thumb and index finger of his right hand and pinched it slightly, and said: "I'm so much better than you."

Zhong Longhu's rough brows raised slightly, and he also thought of competing with Xu Ji. The strength in his hands continued to increase, until his face was a little red, but when he looked at Xu Ji, he still looked calm. After a while, Zhong Longhu was relieved, took a few deep breaths and asked: "Ah Ji, what is your strength now? Even if I don't use spiritual energy to bless myself, I won't be able to make you move even if I don't. "

"Don't worry, if you really sell yourself to pay off your debts in Fengtian Taoist Temple, I will treat Uncle Zhong as my biological brother from now on." Xu Ji laughed, and the Uncle Zhong he mentioned was naturally Zhong Longhu's father.

"Exactly." Zhong Longhu curled his lips, but did not believe Xu Ji's words at all. He believed that if he continued to ask himself, this good brother would scare him, but if he didn't ask, he would choke you to death.

Zhong Longhu explained: "I do not have the authority to bring people into the Taoist Temple, so if you want to bring people into the Taoist Temple, you need to redeem this temporary pass token first, and you do not need to keep this token in your storage. Among the magic weapons, just don't hang it around your waist. With this token, you have the authority to enter Fengtian Taoist Temple and will not cause attacks from the Taoist Temple's formation."

"Well, Ah Ji, I haven't seen you for so long, but you just said a few words and you came to take advantage of me." Zhong Longhu tightly wrapped his elbow around the back of Xu Ji's neck, but there was a look of surprise on his face. , although he did not use all his strength, Xu Ji still stood like a rock. Obviously, his strength did not affect Xu Ji at all.

Soon Zhong Longhu appeared at the school gate again and handed Xu Ji a red token with the word "Fengtian" engraved on it. He held it in his hand and felt a faint warmth.

It's unreasonable to want to pretend in front of him when we just met.

"Okay, okay, let's go to Fengtian Taoist Temple first. This Fengtian Taoist Temple is very different from Fengling Taoist Temple. Let me introduce it to you." Zhong Longhu changed the topic and took his hand from Xu Ji's He put it down on his shoulders and shook it. It seemed to be numb because of the excessive exertion. Fortunately, it was just a week after the spiritual energy circulated and it returned to normal.

Zhong Longhu took Xu Ji into the gate of Fengtian Taoist Temple. With a distortion of the space, Xu Ji came to the real Fengtian Taoist Temple, but he had just entered it. Xu Ji Mingrui's His consciousness felt that he was locked by an extremely strong energy, the hairs on his body stood up, and his heart began to beat unnaturally faster. This was a fatal threat.

But fortunately, this fatal threat only lasted for less than a breath before disappearing, replaced by the faint warmth from the red token hanging on his waist with the word "Fengtian" engraved on it. Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief. The terrifying energy that just locked onto him and brought a fatal threat to him undoubtedly came from the great formation of Fengtian Taoist Academy. If it weren't for the temporary pass token that Zhong Longhu had bought for him, , Xu Ji had no doubt that he would be crushed into powder in an instant.

After a moment of silence, Xu Ji grabbed the token that had just been casually pinned to his waist and put it solemnly into his arms. Although he knew that as long as he did not put the token into the storage magic weapon, no matter if it was pinned to his waist or placed in it, It won't affect you even if you put it in your arms, but if the token on your waist falls off and the formation in Fengtian Taoist Academy is not smart enough, it will be really fun.

God knows if a terrifying flame will suddenly come and vaporize him on the spot.

"Ah Ji, what's wrong?" Zhong Longhu glanced at Xu Ji suspiciously.

Xu Ji shook his head. He practiced the Nirvana Spirit Technique to enhance his spiritual consciousness. He also practiced the spiritual consciousness technique Soul-Eating Curse, the Secret Technique of Mortal Transformation, etc. In addition, he gained insights into the spiritual consciousness from previous lectures. Therefore, the spiritual consciousness is much sharper than ordinary foundation-building cultivators, and coupled with his high spiritual energy affinity, he can sense the locking of that terrifying energy. It would be a bit cumbersome to explain it to Zhong Longhu.

So Xu Ji just shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Nothing, I just think it's better to store this token carefully, so as not to lose it and require you to sell yourself to pay off the debt."

Zhong Longhu laughed: "Then it is indeed safer to keep the token in your arms."

After laughing, Zhong Longhu took out a special bone whistle. As a whistle with a special melody was blown, Xu Ji noticed two white cranes flying towards the two of them in the distance.

"Similar to Fengling Taoist Temple, Fengtian Taoist Temple also uses first-class white cranes to travel. If you don't want to fly around the Taoist Temple in other ways on a spiritual crane, you need to go to the special preparations. Flying certificate, and generally only after reaching the foundation building stage, can this quasi-flying certificate be successfully applied for?" Zhong Longhu introduced to Xu Ji.

"After all, there are too many students in the Taoist Academy. If they cannot be restrained by reasonable rules and regulations, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble." Zhong Longhu sighed slightly, and the entire Hutian small world of Fengtian Taoist Academy was like A super big city.

Even if the 36,000 cities are divided equally into nine parts, there are still 4,000 cities. The first hundred of each city will be 400,000 people. Even if half of them cannot be admitted to the Ninth University, there will still be 200,000 people left. This is just one class of students. Ten years for undergraduates and thirty years for postgraduates, that is the forty class. In this way, there are at least eight million students in the entire small world of Fengtian, not to mention all kinds of faculty and staff. and staff responsible for logistics services.

Xu Ji was also slightly stunned. Compared with Fengtian Taoist Academy, his own Xianling Taoist Academy was not too cold. Not to mention it was a fraction of Fengtian Taoist Academy. Even if all the students of Xianling Taoist Academy were added together, I am afraid that even a fraction of the first batch of students from Fengtian Taoist Academy will not be able to catch up.

"Ah Ji, I remember that you also have the fire spirit root. Do you want to try absorbing the spiritual energy?" Zhong Longhu said pretending to be mysterious.

Xu Ji glanced at Zhong Longhu with some curiosity, but he tried to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy without hesitation. But as soon as the spiritual energy entered his body, Xu Ji noticed that it was different from ordinary spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in Fengtian Taoist Temple It seems to have a special burning feeling in itself. If it is practiced in this aura environment for a long time, the power of its fire spells will definitely be three times stronger than in other places.

Seeing the surprised expression on Xu Ji's face, Zhong Longhu laughed and explained: "There are many active volcanoes within Fengtian Mansion, and you should have heard the news that Fengtian Mansion connects them with large formations to extract geothermal heat. As I said, under Fengtian Taoist Temple is the node of the great formation in Fengtian Mansion, and the geothermal energy extracted from it slowly affects the spiritual veins in Fengtian Taoist Institute, causing the aura born from the spiritual veins to be tainted with some special characteristics."

"When practicing in this kind of aura environment, practicing with fire-attribute spiritual roots can be said to be twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, if you want to wash away other spiritual roots later, it will be easier to condense the acquired fire spirit body."

"So, Ah Ji, you have to be careful. Don't be caught up by me when the time comes. Let me condense the Dao Foundation and break through to the Foundation Establishment realm before you do. When the time comes, you have to call me Senior Zhong Longhu." Zhong Long Hu chuckled, as if he had thought of the situation where he would break through the foundation first.

Xu Ji looked at Zhong Longhu with a smile, patted his shoulder, and said: "Longhu, although you think very well, but just tell me, is there a possibility that you can't gather the Dao Foundation to break through earlier than me?" As for foundation building, for example, is it possible that I have already broken through to the foundation building stage?”

Zhong Longhu retracted his grinning teeth and looked at Xu Ji with eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing this, Xu Ji just smiled faintly and said, "Be good, call Senior Xu Ji to come and listen."
