Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 502: Almost Can’t Come Back
He carefully checked the remaining limbs, flesh and fragments of the golden cup one by one to confirm that there were no remaining souls hidden inside. As a master of illusion, Xu Yuanchang knew how powerful a seventh-level illusionist's hiding skills were.

All the body parts and fragments were burned with the yang fire, even the bloodstains on the ground were not spared.

Si Shaoqiu was maintaining the outermost cold and gloomy formation, feeling a little complicated, which finally turned into a deep sigh.

Master An was the one who calculated everything but ended up losing his life.

Half an hour later, Xu Yuanchang took back the harmless-looking fire spirit with white fur and said, "Go out. This is over. I didn't want to be an enemy of an eighth-level warlock. If he had been friends with me, we could have discussed some things. He chose a path that he believed was right in his heart. That's it."

He wasn't explaining anything.

He just lamented the impermanence of "God's murderous intent", without caring whether the two women could understand him.

He waved his hand to wipe away the line of spell writing floating in the air.

He was the first to walk out of the secret realm, and the Buddha's light restriction was reduced to a range of twenty miles. A bald little monk in a silver robe sat cross-legged in the air, chanting scriptures for the salvation of souls. He had a gentle expression and the demeanor of a master.

Gu Yunzhu and Xu Shengtian had already collected the two wreckages, carefully checked the fragments of formation equipment and various residual items on the ground, and used magic powers to clean the air and penetrate the ground, making sure that no residual soul would be missed.

Si Shaoqiu walked out of the secret passage, consciously staying away from Taoist Xu and his companions.

After the conversation was over, the Buddha's light restriction disappeared, and he bowed and said, "Mountains are high and rivers are long. Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Yu, and fellow Daoists, we will meet again if we are lucky. I have something important to attend to, so I will take my leave first!"

She was not worried about the remnant soul of Old Monster An. Even if he wanted to enter the underworld and follow the path of reincarnation, the chances were slim. It would be even more difficult to successfully embark on the path of cultivation. Besides, who would care about what happened thousands of years later?

She was glad that she had escaped death this time, harvested two Mysterious Soul Flowers, and got a large amount of Soul-Fixing Liquid and Soul-Condensing Stones.

At least within a thousand years, they will not run to the Sinking and Floating Area due to lack of cultivation resources.

Xu Yuanchang smiled and proposed a small condition: "Friend Si, can you give me the blueprint of the 'Golden Cup Cold Plate Soul-Falling Formation' that you drew? In your spare time, learn more about formation knowledge."

Si Shaoqiu was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I will sort out some common sense about formations and the formation drawings I drew before and give them to you."

She could see that Taoist Xu had learned formations, but his knowledge was not systematic and he lacked profound knowledge.

Originally I felt that I owed the other party a favor, and being able to repay it with the drawings, so no one owed anyone anything, and everyone was happy.

She sorted a pile of drawings, books, and jade slips into a storage bag and sent it over using her magic power.

Xu Yuanchang accepted the bag, clasped his fists and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Si, we'll see you again if we're lucky."

He didn't say a word to try to keep her, lest the other party think he had other bad intentions.

Master An used a talisman to self-destruct, and all the treasures and space items on his body were destroyed. There was no distribution of spoils. As for the items on the other two masters, they were regarded as rewards for asking for help.

He never lets his family suffer.

Yu Fengwu grinned: "Next time I pass by Liuyun Territory, I will visit you. Fairy Si, please don't pretend not to know you."

She seldom joked with outsiders, and after half a year of getting along with them, she came to realize that they had some qualities that were worth getting along with.

Si Shaoqiu immediately felt that he was a mean person and had thought too badly of others. He smiled and said, "I am deeply honored to welcome you. I will clean up and welcome you."

After a few polite words, he flew away in another direction, and later traveled through the void and returned to Liulitian.

Xu Yuanchang took out two Mysterious Soul Flowers, several bottles of Soul-Fixing Liquid refined by the Creation Divine Platform, and a pile of Soul-Fixing Stones and Essence Cores and distributed them to the three people, and asked, "Where should I send you?"

Liu Xueli's face lost the solemn look of a high-ranking monk and returned to a lazy expression. She said, "Master, I'd better go back to the Baishui Ancient City in Yuxu Domain. I have an appointment with a high-ranking monk named Yuanhui to try the 'Stop Water Mirror'. I may have to stay here for thirty to fifty years."

Xu Shengtian said, "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. My sister and I will stay in Xuyantian for a while, and maybe we will go to Nanlitian. Third uncle, Dong Xing has successfully ascended from the lower realm and has reached Dengxianguan."

None of the three had any intention of entering the Yongfeng Secret Realm to explore.

They have a place for themselves.

Xu Yuanchang smiled and said, "It's not easy for Dong Xing to get to where he is today. I will return to the sect after I finish my work here."

Watched his nephew and Gu Yunzhu leave in style.

He carried Yu Fengwu and Xueli through the void, passed through the Qiyuntai blessed land and rushed to the Baishui Ancient City in the Yuxu area, made a circle and returned to Liulitian.

Gu Yunzhu flew dozens of miles away and noticed that the sect master and the other two had left. He suddenly transmitted a message: "The sect master and Sister Yu are together."

Xu Shengtian was thinking about other things. He was slightly startled when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Fairy Yu and Uncle San have been friends for more than a thousand years. Their relationship is extraordinary. When Dengxian Temple was first established, it was all thanks to Fairy Yu's help."

Gu Yunzhu smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid of having another aunt?"

His figure flashed and he dodged his brother's claws.

Women's intuition in certain aspects is extremely sensitive.

What's more, she is a woman who has achieved success in spiritual practice. As an experienced person, she could tell that Sister Yu and the Sect Master were in perfect harmony as soon as they met.

"Sister Yu once told me in a casual chat that she and the sect master got along well, and Sister Liu didn't mind her existence, but due to some strange coincidences, they missed each other until now...Sister Liu's cultivation path is difficult. It will take thousands of years to reach the eighth level, and the ninth level is out of the question."

Gu Yunzhu started talking about gossip, just like an ordinary girl, but when the topic changed, she frowned and said angrily, "Xu Shengtian, you have to listen to me. You are not allowed to have a frivolous mind like the sect master. You are not allowed to flirt with other people outside, and you are not allowed to mess with your confidante!"

Xu Shengtian was stunned.

How did the matter concerning Uncle San end up involving him?
……

After seeing off Liu Xueli, Xu Yuanchang and Yu Fengwu returned to the Yongfeng Secret Realm.

One of them sharpens his sword with endless spirits and mountain spirits, killing without end, while the other collects the spoils and protects, listening in all directions and keeping an eye on all directions. The two of them cooperate as if they are in an empty space.

Occasionally, when encountering other monks who are exploring together, they just say hello and then go about their business without getting in each other's way.

Those who hunt for treasure in the wild are all people with excellent eyesight and will not easily get into trouble.

It took twenty years to empty the depths of the Hundred-Hole Wind Tunnel several times, and the harvest was enormous.

Yu Fengwu left contentedly and returned to Liuli City to stay for half a year to relax. Then, accompanied by the sect leader, he went to Miaowang Peninsula, chose an empty rocky hilltop and gazed at the Miaowang Gate in the distance.

Time passes slowly, and the sea and sky become one color.

In the blink of an eye, another thirty years have passed.

……

Leisurely viewing, it is the side hall of Qingping Hall.

Zeng Xiyue rushed in through the door like a gust of wind and called out in a clear voice, "Grandpa, guess what day it is today?"

Zeng Wanglou put away the bottle of refined soul-fixing liquid in his hand. He and Xi Yuelou and others went to the upper domain and trained for decades. They just came back not long ago. This bottle of soul-fixing liquid refined by the sect master can be used directly as a medicine to enhance the soul. It is a treasure brought back by Xueli. He smiled and asked: "Tell me first, what is the reward if you guess it correctly?" "If you guess it correctly, I will give you a thousand-year-old 'three-headed blood mushroom'."

The little girl proudly took out a spiritual wooden box. She and her second uncle Dong Xing, who liked to run around, traveled to the seven realms of the upper realm. They saw many new things, experienced many thrills and dangers, and found many treasures.

I also found Empress Liu in Yunshang City, Xiazhou, the Flower Realm, and played with her for three years.

Before Grandfather Zu could reveal the answer, she shouted, "The one hundred years you promised me is up. I'm going to stay in seclusion for a few years and prepare to break through to the sixth floor."

He left behind the spiritual wooden box containing the three-headed blood mushroom and ran away like a gust of wind.

During her travels, she completed her journey to becoming a mortal.

For her, it is not difficult to advance to the sixth floor, and by then she can go wherever she wants.

Zeng Wanglou took the box, smiled, and muttered to himself: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed. It's time for me to go into seclusion and seek a breakthrough in the Tao."

He has been researching high-level elixirs for many years and has made groundbreaking progress many times, and his state of mind and cultivation have reached perfection.

With the help of the top-grade Huo Yun Creation Pill and the refined soul-fixing liquid sent back by Xueli.

He was very confident that he would succeed in becoming a monk and didn't want to wait any longer.

While I was thinking, I heard a woman's soft voice coming from outside: "Mr. Zeng, Ye Cai is here to disturb you."

Zeng Wanglou stood up and said with a smile: "Deputy Hall Master Ye, please come in. You are welcome."

The person who came was Ye Cai who ascended from Laizhou of Qianfang Realm. He was introduced to Dengxian Temple by Mu Qingshan back then. He was indeed a rising star. In just over two hundred years since joining Dengxian Temple, he had successfully improved his cultivation to the middle stage of the seventh floor and was appointed as the deputy head of the Medical Hall.

He is meticulous and thorough in his work, willing to take on responsibilities, and stands out from the crowd of idle masters.

"Mr. Zeng, I am here on the orders of Hall Master Wen to requisition some herbs and materials from the warehouse."

Ye Cai, dressed in a smart white dress, showed Wen Yining's handwritten list.

Zeng Wanglou took the paper, checked the signature and seal, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Master Wen really has a keen nose. She smelled the Soul-Fixing Liquid and Soul-Condensing Stone that just arrived. I will give you at most two bottles of Soul-Fixing Liquid. This is a refined good thing, one bottle is equivalent to three bottles."

He picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in ink, changed a few words on the list, and deliberately added the word "refined".

He called his trusted subordinate from next door and asked him to get two bottles of soul-fixing liquid, ten soul-condensing stones, and several other medicinal herbs according to the list. He extended his hand to invite the woman to sit down, and a maid came forward to pour tea.

After a conversation and two cups of tea, the men came to report with the items on the list.

After checking the things, Ye Cai signed her name and left with a sweet smile.

Zeng Wanglou was very envious of Wen Yining for having a capable deputy hall master whom he could trust and use his power. The two deputy hall masters he appointed were trained by him from the fourth floor to the sixth floor, spending a lot of time and effort, but they were still not of much use.

If he were to remain in seclusion for a hundred years, he would definitely run out of high-level elixirs.

Ye Caifei returned to the doctor's hall, handed the items to Wen Yining, and relayed what Zeng Lao had said, saying, "Senior Sister Wen, take a look at these two bottles of soul-fixing liquid. They are indeed different from what is recorded in the classics. They are clear and viscous. They must be very effective for mixing medicines."

Wen Yining uncorked the bottle and took a look. He smiled and said, "No wonder Mr. Zeng was reluctant to give me more. The Soul-Fixing Liquid has been refined to the point where there are no impurities. It can be used directly to improve the spirit. Junior Sister Ye, take a bottle to prepare the medicine, and also take a few Soul-Fixing Stones."

Ye Cai accepted the items with a smile, chatted for a while, then stood up and left.

Return to your residence and activate the double protection formation.

I unexpectedly got a bottle of top-grade soul-fixing liquid, four soul-fixing stones, and the Huo Yun Creation Pill I had obtained before.

With so many auxiliary resources, she is confident that she can recover to the eighth level of cultivation within twenty to thirty years.

Only by relying on a large sect can you get so many good things without having to travel around and work hard.

By the time she advances to the eighth level, she will have the basic means of self-protection in the seemingly peaceful upper realm, and she will then formally "get to know" the sect master.

There is a treasure that needs to be "asked" from the sect leader.

……

Miaowang Peninsula, rocky hilltop.

Xu Yuanchang sat in the stone pavilion he built with magic, sipping the sword-intentioned soul-nourishing tea. Various drawn formation diagrams were spread out on the stone table. He would never sit idle, and would flip through the formation books and jade slips every day to learn more advanced formation knowledge.

Persist in drawing eighth-level talismans, sense the heaven and earth and realize the way of emptiness and tranquility.

It is no different from any other normal retreat, I am enjoying myself leisurely.

Suddenly, Xu Yuanchang noticed that Yu Fengwu, who was sitting cross-legged and watching intently thirty feet away, had disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.

He had explained some precautions to Yu Fengwu, and believed that with Yu Fengwu's ultimate swordsmanship, he would not be confused by the omnipresent Taoism of Miaowang Sect.

Being able to enter Miaowang Sect twenty years earlier than him, Feng Wu’s qualifications are indeed outstanding.

As time passed, Xu Yuanchang had completely studied all the obscure and advanced formations that Si Shaoqiu gave him. Ten years later, he remained unmoved, and the trees all over the mountains were exceptionally lush and full of vitality.

Twenty years later, Xu Yuanchang stood up and walked to the middle of the mountain top. Through the gaps between the trees, he looked at the vague shadows between the sea and the sky. Having entered the Miaowang Gate once, he would no longer sense its existence.

He was slightly worried.

The laws of nature are unpredictable. I wonder what will test Yu Fengwu's swordsmanship?

Maybe Yu Fengwu would be stranded for hundreds of years. There is no time in Miaowang Gate. If one is immersed in it, he will not be able to feel the passage of time.

Thirty years have passed, and Xu Yuanchang often gazes at the sea, standing there for a whole day. He is considering whether to attract Xueli, or Gu Yunzhu, Shengtian and others. The longer Yu Fengwu stays in Miaowangmen, the greater the possibility that he will be immersed in "forgetting the Tao".

We must wake them up in time before they become too addicted.

He was a little hesitant. Xueli, Yunzhu, Shengtian and others were not ready yet. Hastily waiting and watching would not be effective and might even backfire.

Another half year passed, and Xu Yuanchang's worries and anxieties grew day by day.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him. Yu Fengwu returned with a sword aura. He glanced at the unfamiliar mountaintop, his aura instantly subsided, and he asked with a smile, "How long did it take me to enter Miaowang Gate?"

Xu Yuanchang looked up and down at the woman who seemed to have changed and said, "It's been thirty years. What have you encountered?"

Yu Fengwu looked terrified and said, "I met 'myself', another me! I almost couldn't come back. The purple-gold pants you gave me broke at the critical moment, releasing a ray of golden light, waking me up. It was a close call, a close call!"
