Chapter 178: The southern border is attacked by rebels, and Chihiro awakens her spiritual power
Controlling immortals?

Is this similar to commanding troops?
After Chen Sanshi joined the army, he trained soldiers and acquired the skills to command troops.

now.

If you have two immortal cultivators under your command, you can gain the ability to “control immortals”?
And it is a supernatural power, not a skill.

This can be considered...

Unexpected, but reasonable.

……

Half an hour later.

Chen Sanshi told them to stop.

Even training ordinary weapons cannot be accomplished in a day, let alone training immortal formations. Even the simplest and most basic coordinated formations require a period of time to be adjusted and cannot be achieved overnight.

[Magic Power: Controlling Immortals (Not yet started)]

【Progress: 5/100】

[Effect: None]

I just don’t know what the effect will be after getting started.

The formation that Chen Sanshi chose is called the "Three Flowers Gathering Spirit Formation". It is a relatively simple formation with only one function. It allows two assistant monks to use the spiritual energy stored in their bodies for their own use, so as to make the magic power of the "monk sitting in the formation" more lasting, just like a blood-training warrior has more blood and qi. It can be understood as being able to borrow the blood and qi of others.

In simple terms, a power bank.

no way.

There were simply too few of them. Even if they had gathered seven people, they could use the Tiangang Beidou Formation or something like that. But there were only three of them, and their realms were not high, so they could only use a few formations.

The Three Flowers Gathering Spirit Array is quite useful.

The next day.

Before dawn.

They boarded the carriage prepared by the Governor's Mansion, secretly left Liangzhou, and disappeared into the dark wilderness.

"The ends of the earth."

Ningxiang made plans in advance: "General, according to your description, the fastest way for us to travel this time is by water. If we don't mind the hardship, we can reach the southeastern port within a month by both land and water.

"Then we will try to find a boat to go out to sea, and we predict that we will find our destination in two to three months. Of course, the premise is that we are lucky enough to find the right route.

"I never thought that the path to immortality that everyone dreams of would require leaving this continent."

Chen Sanshi sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest: "You haven't tried it before?"

"Of course someone has tried it."

Ning Xiang said faintly: "It's just that most of the people who went out to sea never came back. Everyone thought that the sea was dangerous, and gradually no one thought about it anymore. Now it seems that these people either succeeded or encountered some accidents at the ends of the earth. Most of them should be the latter, and the former is rare.

"correct.

"There is also a piece of news I want to report to the general. The core of Xunxian Tower has made great moves recently. They are searching for something all over the mountain. This is happening simultaneously with the Ziwei Mountain incident."

"Be more specific." Chen Sanshi asked, "Are there other things similar to Cao Xie's relics?"

"Who knows."

Ningxiang gnashed her teeth and said, "That bastard named Xun has already excluded me. He would never let me know about this kind of thing."

"Don't call me General outside."

Chen Sanshi said.

He came out quietly, so naturally he couldn't reveal his identity.

"Got it, Master~"

"..."

After arriving at the nearest pier, the fourth brother had even prepared the boat in advance. They didn't need to worry about anything and could go straight south to the end and then head to Southeast Haikou.

The journey was boring.

It's nothing more than practicing martial arts, cultivating immortality, and practicing formations.

In the blink of an eye.

Just over a month passed.

Chen Sanshi's immortal realm has also reached a critical moment of breakthrough. Under the guidance of his spiritual roots, he continues to refine the spiritual energy through his meridians. Until a certain moment, it is like opening a certain shackle in his body, and the spiritual energy in his dantian can be used at will.

[Kung Fu: Five Elements Technique. Initial Stage of Qi Refining (Level 1)]

【Progress: 0/500】

[Effect: All five elements are complete, reaching the pinnacle]

[All Five Elements: All five elements are complete, and the cultivation foundation is deep, but the speed is slow. You can reach the pinnacle by choosing a spiritual root technique with a single attribute to practice. ]

This is……

Combining his rich experience, Chen Sanshi quickly understood the meaning of the entry.

I chatted with Ningxiang on the way.

The quality of spiritual roots for cultivators is equivalent to the physical fitness of martial artists.

Spiritual roots are divided into inferior, low, medium, high, and then extreme and heavenly...

Remove these.

It is divided into single spiritual roots and mixed spiritual roots.

As the name suggests, mixed spiritual roots are a mixture of multiple spiritual root attributes.

The more spiritual roots there are, the slower the cultivation speed will be. This can be understood as planting one tree and five trees, which require different nutrients. If the quality of the spiritual roots is even worse...

The speed of cultivation will be as slow as a snail climbing a tree, and a huge amount of spiritual energy is required.

And Chen Sanshi.

All five poisons are present.

Not only does it have all five attributes, but it is also an inferior spiritual root.

But, based on past experience.

As long as he works hard, he will be rewarded, and his physical fitness will evolve in a way that best suits the changes in the technique.

【All five elements are complete】.

The meaning of the entry is that if you practice a certain technique with a single attribute, you can improve the quality of the corresponding spiritual root. After it reaches the heavenly level, you can change the technique and continue to improve the next kind of spiritual root.

For example, if you practice wood-attributed techniques, you can enhance the wood attribute in your spiritual roots to a certain level.

"You still have to rely on your own efforts..."

"The road ahead will be difficult in the early stages, and you need to grit your teeth and persevere."

Chen Sanshi cheered himself up in his heart.

Another point.

The road to becoming an immortal is long and endless.

It often takes years or even decades to break through a realm.

The initial, intermediate and final stages of Qi Refining are further divided into one to nine levels. Every three levels are considered a formal breakthrough, which can improve the quality of the spiritual roots.

Currently.

He is a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining, the early stage of Qi Refining.

Over time.

Chen Sanshi gradually began to feel the meaning of the four words "boundless".

More than ten days passed.

The increase in proficiency is minimal.

[Kung Fu: Five Elements Technique. Initial Stage of Qi Refining (Level 1)]

【Progress: 10/500】

Not only that.

The spirit stone given by Shen Guidi was also being consumed rapidly, and it was unlikely to last long enough for a breakthrough.

"This middle-grade spirit stone of yours is worth hundreds of low-grade spirit stones. The person who gave it to you is really generous. This piece of stone is enough for you to use for a long time after you enter the Dao, but..."

Ningxiang explained: "No matter how many spirit stones we have, they cannot withstand long-term consumption. This is why we in Xunxian Tower have always been eager to enter the fairyland. It is said that the space between heaven and earth there is filled with spiritual energy."

"Mid-grade spiritual stone."

Chen Sanshi checks his family assets.

One medium-grade spirit stone, plus five low-grade spirit stones, and two more collected from Ningxiang, a total of seven low-grade spirit stones.

These things are important resources and must be well kept.

In the "Five Elements Formula".

There are also several spells, some offensive and some defensive...

In terms of killing.

Chen Sanshi has sword skills, but what he lacks relatively is defensive means.

Among them is a defensive spell called "Thick Earth Art", which can condense a barrier in front of you through spiritual power. It can block a spell attack and is considered an excellent spell in the early stage of Qi Refining. The disadvantage is that it takes time to re-seal and cast spells after the collapse, and the consumption of spiritual power is very huge. It is difficult for cultivators to support it, and it is usually used to block and save lives at critical moments.

This spell is also a basic spell and is not difficult.

Only half a day.

He successfully learned it.

[Spell: Thick Earth Technique (Beginner)]

【Progress: 0/500】

【Effect: Accumulate without collapse】

[Accumulate without collapse: Use the spirit to continue the method, without collapse or disintegration]

The Thick Earth Technique of an ordinary cultivator is equivalent to a one-time barrier, but in his hands, it is equivalent to a black iron shield that can be held up all the time, but it requires constant consumption of spiritual power to maintain.

and……

Chen Sanshi felt and found that the defensive power of the Thick Earth Art was slightly stronger than the protective qi of an ordinary warrior in the less successful stage of the Mystical Realm, but not much stronger. He estimated that it was about the same as the protective qi of a warrior with mainly "defensive physique".

from this angle……

Martial arts is not too weak.

In most cases, the reason why we are no match for the "immortals" is simply because the immortals' methods are too strange.

For example, sword energy magic is extremely difficult to guard against.

on the other hand.

If a martial arts practitioner could get close to an immortal cultivator.

Then, ordinary immortal cultivators will definitely not be able to withstand the strong energy.

As for the Martial Saint, it goes without saying that the true Qi can definitely directly resist some spells. This can be seen from the actions of the senior brother Lu Ji on Ziwei Mountain.

Not to mention there are those who are above the Martial Saint.

As Cao Xie said in the letter, as long as one reaches above the level of Martial Saint, one will be able to gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation.

But there is no further explanation as to how much this "up" can go.

The great success or perfection of Qi refining is not necessarily the limit.

These are two different paths.

of course.

These are Chen Sanshi’s speculations based on his experience. We will have to wait until we truly experience the world of cultivation to know the exact truth.

All the way south.

The practice of martial arts was also not neglected.

[Kung Fu: Dragon Spear of the Nation. Mysterious Image (Introduction)]

【Progress: 260/500】

At last.

It is the skill [reading].

His progress in this skill had almost stagnated since he had read ten thousand books, until he started with sword energy and came into contact with different texts in the world of immortal cultivation, and then it began to improve again.

[Skill: Reading (minor achievement)]

[Progress: (655/800)]

The effects of the [Seven Apertures of the Mind] brought about by reading skills are not as obvious as those of martial arts, but their role is very large. Basically, they complement all the training and can improve efficiency a lot.

"call--"

Chen Sanshi exhaled a breath and went to the deck to breathe.

He looked at the endless lake in front of him and the dark green mountains on both sides, and asked, "Where are we?"

The one who drives the boat.

They are spies sent by the Inspector General's Office, and all of them are at a level above Tongmai.

Over the years, the Inspector General's Mansion has naturally accumulated its own power, and those sent by the senior brother are all equivalent to the "Deadpool" level, they are very tight-lipped and obedient.

"Reply to your Excellency's words."

The attendant came over with a knife on his shoulder and reported: "We are now in Hezhou. As long as we leave this 800-li water area and walk for another half a month by land, we will reach the nearest seaport."

"Hezhou."

The map had long been engraved in Chen Sanshi's mind.

This is the territory of King Zhennan.

Not long ago.

After the defeat of Nanxu’s 100,000-strong army.

The brothers Fan Shuzhen and Fan Jiaxiao did not die either.

Instead, after the Fengshan Ceremony, he released them back to Nanxu and used them to exchange for a lot of benefits. After such a great defeat, these two people did not even receive severe punishment because of the huge influence of their family.

It’s just that Ran Jingxuan’s father, the long-retired Zhonghu, has reappeared in the political arena and seems to be making some big moves.

"My Lord, please do not stay on the deck for too long. It is not very peaceful here."

The attendant said, "This lake is called Liangshan Lake. A few years ago, a group of civilians who were building the canal rebelled and retreated here. Then, they gained a foothold with the support of Nanxu. Now they have 70,000 soldiers here, as well as generals sent by Nanxu and the local rebel sects, and Taoists who know magic. In addition, the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so they can't take it down in a short time."

"Liangshanpo..."

Chen Sanshi found it interesting and still had the same feeling that there are all kinds of wonders in the world.

He said, "Tell me about the magic in detail."

"He is a Taoist priest who can use some strange methods to make the imperial army that came to suppress the bandits suffer heavy losses several times before. In addition to the pressure from Nanxu, I have temporarily ignored them. As for the more specific details, I am not very clear. Please forgive me, sir."

The attendant said, "In short, if you want to go out to sea, you have to pass through this place. I just hope you can pass through it quickly to avoid any unnecessary trouble..."

"Don't worry about it. This 'branch' is fixed."

Chen Sanshi said this and turned and walked into the cabin.

When he came out again, he had a bald head and a long knife with wheat blades slung around his waist.

"Alas--"

"..."

On all sides of their great ship.

Countless small boats were approaching rapidly, and each boat was filled with soldiers in armor. They were waving their weapons and shouting loudly, like bandits.

The guard in charge of driving the boat for Chen Sanshi and his crew was called Qin Changxu. He was not panicked when he saw the scene in front of him. He knew that there was no way to escape, so he ordered his men to stop the boat.

Then, he clasped his fists towards the enemy ship in front of him and said, "My fellow heroes of Liangshanpo! We are merchants from the north, and we are going to take over from Guibaodi and do business in Daxu! I believe you have all heard of Mr. Jia from Daxu? We are friends with him!"

Since you dare to pass by here, you must be prepared.

On the enemy ship.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a mustache. He stroked his beard and asked, "Are you really Mr. Jia's friends?"

"Of course! Otherwise, how could you dare to pass by here?"

Qin Changxu said: "Brothers, we are all one family, please do not hurt the harmony."

"Even if you are Mr. Jia's ally, you still need to be checked before you can leave!"

The man with the mustache raised his eyebrows and said, "A few days ago, a boat of people also claimed to be going to Daxu to do business. Later we found out that they were the Jinyiwei of your court who went there to assassinate people."

"What is the name of this boss?"

"It's Jin Zhaofu, the sixth leader of Liangshanpo!"

Jin Zhaofu.

He was originally the leader of a first-rate sect in the south. In order to gain resources to become a Martial Saint in the future, he chose to join Liangshanpo and cooperate with Nanxu. He was a well-known figure among this group of rebels. Now he is also proficient in the Xuanxiang realm and is worthy of being a main general anywhere.

"It turned out to be Master Liu!"

Qin Changxu clasped his fists and said, "Then please ask Sixth Master to come up. There are only seven of us on the boat, and we are all old, weak, sick and disabled!"

"it is good!"

Jin Zhaofu jumped onto their deck with a light tap of his feet.

Another twenty or so brothers set up ladders, climbed up one after another, and began to search the ship.

Look around.

on this ship.

Qin Changxu was the only young and strong man.

The rest were indeed old, weak, sick and disabled. Many of the guys on the boat were either missing limbs or were white-haired old men. There was also a very ugly guy with a sword on his waist.

"Sixth Master."

Qin Changxu took out a bag of gold and some silver notes: "We know the rules, please give us a break."

"Hmm~"

Jin Zhaofu accepted the money calmly.

"Sixth Master, we have searched them all, and they are indeed all old, weak, sick and disabled."

The subordinates came to report.

Jin Zhaofu asked: "What about the cabin?"

"There are only two women in the cabin."

Qin Changxu said: "Should we not search it?"

"Oh?"

Jin Zhaofu pinched his beard and said with interest: "Female relatives? Women can't be assassins?"

As he spoke, he walked inside regardless of the obstruction.

When the curtain of the main cabin was lifted, a woman in purple was seen surrounded by the scent of incense. She looked like a fairy from heaven.

"How about it, Sixth Master? I already said it's a female relative."

"Assassin, definitely an assassin!"

Jin Zhaofu came back to his senses, his eyes wide open: "Someone, take these two girls back and give them a good beating!"

"Yes!"

"Sixth Master, you can't do that!"

Qin Changxu quickly stopped them and said, "These two are our boss' women. If anything happens to them, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"Just tell the truth."

Jin Zhaofu said nonchalantly: "Just say that it was my Master Jin Liu who stayed here, and I'll send it back to him after a while."

"Sixth Master!"

Qin Changxu saw that it was useless to say nice things, so he had to say forcefully: "Isn't this against the rules?!"

"rule?"

Jin Zhaofu sneered: "In this 800-li water park, I am the rule!"

Between words.

Qin Changxu drew his sword first.

"court death!"

Jin Zhaofu arrived first after starting later, and the long sword at his waist easily blocked the attack.

Qin Changxu had only achieved the Great Mastery of Opening Meridians, so he couldn't hold on any longer and flew backwards immediately. However, his back was supported by a gentle force.

The sword light flashed.

Jin Zhaofu chopped directly at his face.

"clang!"

Between the rise of the rabbit and the fall of the falcon.

He Miao's long sword blocked it tightly.

Jin Zhaofu raised his head and saw the extremely ugly man from before: "Great, there is a mysterious sign! You are indeed the running dogs of the court! Brothers, capture all the people on this boat!"

"Keng——"

The sound of weapons being unsheathed continued to ring out.

One of the small leaders of Liangshanpo raised his knife and was about to chop at a white-haired old man.

"boom!"

next moment.

A terrifying force burst out, catching his knife with bare hands, and then a punch came at him, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.

“Open the meridians!”

The other brothers were shocked.

This old man is actually Tongmai.

"This cripple is Hua Jin!"

Similar situations were repeated throughout the ship.

There was also an armless old man who held a long sword rolled up in his sleeves and slashed and killed people indiscriminately.

There is no such thing as the old, weak, sick or disabled.

They are all martial arts masters!

In fact.

These people are all retired veterans from the Eight Battalions, so they are naturally not outsiders.

A melee broke out on the big ship.

above deck.

Jin Zhaofu swung the sword in his hand, and a sword force came out. Wherever it went, the template on the ground exploded.

Proficient in mysterious phenomena.

The energy is released!

"Buzz!"

Chen Sanshi's long knife flashed past and shattered the sword energy.

Seeing his defensive method, Jin Zhaofu suddenly knew what was going on: "Okay, you can't release your Qi, you're just getting started, go to hell -"

"Clang clang clang!"

The exchange of swords.

"True Dragon Force?!"

however.

Jin Zhaofu soon realized that something was wrong. The person in front of him was not at a high level, but he was powerful and alive. Every time they fought, it was like countless steel teeth were gnawing at the edge of his sword. After just a few rounds, a gap appeared on the blade!

then……

His internal energy began to run low, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage until he revealed a flaw. He felt a chill on his neck, and watched the deck continue to expand in his field of vision until it hit his face. After a dizzying moment, he saw that his body was still standing there, and blood gushed out from his neck artery, and he immediately entered into endless darkness.

"Sixth Master!"

See the leader die.

The gangsters panicked.

The servants of the Governor's Mansion started a massacre.

The armless old man jumped directly onto a nearby small boat, and his blood soon dyed the lake red.

"quick!"

"Go and call someone!"

"..."

The bandits of Liangshanpo fired arrows and called for help.

Everyone on the boat is at the level of Hua Jin.

In the short term, I am not afraid of these rain of arrows.

"Hero Zhang!"

Qin Changxu would not shout out his real name: "What should we do? Just grab a small boat and fight our way out! Otherwise, it will be troublesome when the army surrounds us."

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

While talking.

The ship suddenly began to shake.

"Oh no!"

"The bilge is leaking!"

"Someone is chipping away at the boat underwater!"

"..."

"Boom!"

The Liangshanpo bandits began to fire rockets.

Soon, the entire ship began to burn.

"Master Jiu is here!"

"You are dead!"

"..."

The people of Liangshan Lake began to shout.

"Master Jiu?"

Chen Sanshi pulled Zhao Zhao over and asked her to help him block the rain of arrows. He asked, "Guard Qin, do you know anything about this person?"

"I don't know much!"

Qin Changxu said seriously, "I only know that he is a young man who seemed to be sent from the north to perform corvée labor. When the canal was being built, he joined the rebellion and went up the mountain. He was appreciated for his ability to catch strange fish. He was also a martial arts genius. It seems that later on, he learned some magic from somewhere."

"What kind of magic is this! I'm going to meet him!"

The armless old man said this and jumped into the lake.

"boom--"

After about a few breaths.

Only a loud noise was heard.

The armless old man flew out of the water, and another old brother hurried forward to catch him.

"boom!"

Suddenly, splashes of water appeared on the surface of the lake.

A sturdy figure appeared on the water column and shouted condescendingly: "How dare you, the running dogs of the imperial court, invade my water and kill my brothers!"

"Magic!"

The battle-hardened people on the boat were only beginning to panic at this point.

This person can actually control water. If this isn’t magic, then what else could it be?
"boom!"

Jiu Ye shouted loudly, and a column of water came down like a dragon.

"Keng!"

Chen Sanshi split the water column with a knife and shouted: "Zhang Shun! Do you know who I am, your grandfather?!"

"No matter who you are, you must die..."

In mid-air, Zhang Shun was suddenly stunned in the middle of his words. He looked at the ugly man on the deck with an increasingly unbelievable expression on his face: "Uncle Laizi? Are you a peerless master?!"

He had a close relationship with Sanshi since childhood and often played in Yanbian Village. How could he not know this disgusting, lazy and cunning guy who often bullied even little kids, but he didn't have any bad intentions.

How come this guy...

Is he a master of the Mysterious Realm? !

And he could actually break my spells, could he also be a cultivator?
After all, we are old friends from the same hometown.

Naturally, we can't continue to fight in this unclear way.

"stop!"

Zhang Shun quickly gave the order.

"Master Jiu?"

The men looked at each other in bewilderment: "He, he killed the Sixth Boss!"

"I told you to stop, don't you understand? I'm going to go up and talk to them first, and then I'll make a decision!"

"As ordered!"

"..."

"Wow--"

As the water surged, Zhang Shun landed on the deck. He clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Laizi, let's talk somewhere else."

The ship has already sunk halfway and is about to collapse.

This scene.

Ningxiang and others were also confused.

How come Chen Sanshi met acquaintances after changing his appearance?
Who does he pretend to be on a daily basis?

Under Zhang Shun's command, a small boat soon came in front of them.

Chen Sanshi and he came into the cabin alone.

"Uncle Laizi, you hid it so well!"

Zhang Shun looked at it carefully again and confirmed that it was undoubtedly Baldy's head.

He was also alert when he spoke: "What are you doing here? How did you get into a fight with Jin Zhaofu and the others?"

"Just passing by."

Chen Sanshi reported: "That guy coveted the women on the ship, and I had no choice but to take action."

"This guy... The boss has long since ordered that he is not allowed to do such things. It's really hard to change his nature. He deserves to die."

Zhang Shun's tone became much calmer: "Uncle Laizi, will you come back to the north in the future?"

"Maybe."

Chen Sanshi said.

"Great."

Zhang Shun shouted outside: "Bring me some writing brush and ink! Uncle Laizi, I'm writing a letter. If you return to the north, please go to Liangzhou and give the letter to my brother for me.

"Shi Tou, Chen Sanshi! Do you still remember Uncle Laizi?

“You must have heard of it!

"My brother is very powerful now. He conquered Hongze four times and defeated 100,000 troops at Hulao Pass. I heard that he is already an earl.

"After we parted at Yanbian Village, several years had passed without us noticing.

"I have never had the chance to report my safety, and now I am unable to go to the north, so I can only trouble Uncle Laizi..."

"Shunzi, look at who I am again?"

"How could I not know Uncle Laizi..."

Having said that.

Zhang Shun could tell something was wrong with the voice. His pupils trembled violently. He raised his head only after he was mentally prepared. What appeared before him was actually that familiar yet strange face: "Brother...Brother Shi?!"

Pfft!
He dropped the weapon in his hand and knelt down suddenly.

"Brother Shi!"

"Sunzi finally sees you."

"Thank you for taking care of my parents over the years!"

At first.

Ten days later in Yunzhou.

Zhang Shun's heart sank.

Later I heard that he took the people across the river.

The vast majority of the people in Poyang County survived and returned to Poyang after the war.

half year ago.

He finally managed to secretly contact his parents and learned that someone had been secretly sending money to their family over the past two years.

How could he dare to forget this kindness?

"Get up, it's not a big deal."

Chen Sanshi helped him up and looked him up and down: "Great job, Shunzi, after not seeing you for a few years, you have become a 'master'. You are really impressive."

"Brother, don't say that. Compared to you, I am nothing. I am not as good as you in status. In terms of martial arts, I am only good at opening meridians. It's just that I'm lucky and have some opportunities. I can have a foothold in Liangshanpo."

Zhang Shun slapped his forehead and said, "Speaking of which, I have something to give you!"

He checked to make sure there was no one else on the boat, then closed the hatch and took out a few spirit stones from his arms, as well as a piece of yellow paper that had been in the water but had not rotted.

There were extremely mysterious patterns on the paper, which looked like they were carved, or painted with pen and ink, and from time to time there were flashes of spiritual light.

"Brother Shi, I saw that you had spiritual power bursting out when you made your move just now. Plus, you are going to the southeast. I guess you are not going to Nanxu, but to look for immortals, right? You will definitely be able to use these things!"

"What are you..."

Chen Sanshi looked at the other party's unreserved look and said, "Give it all to me?"

"Correct!"

Zhang Shun said as a matter of course: "I heard that when you get there, without spiritual stones, you will be like the disaster victims here and can't move an inch. Brother Shi should bring more. This yellow paper is called a talisman, and it can protect the body after being activated."

"Keep it for yourself."

Chen Sanshi declined the offer.

It was obvious that Shunzi only had this much money, so how could he have the nerve to put it into his pocket?

Compared to this.

He became even more curious.

Where did Shunzi get the method of cultivating immortality?

After repeated refusals, Zhang Shun had no choice but to take the things back: "It's a long story. At that time, I had just come to Liangshanpo and relied on fishing to exchange for some resources for martial arts. I was just a small leader.

"That day when I went to the big river next door to fish, I met an immortal, and then... he accepted me as his apprentice, gave me skills and spirit stones, and said that when he finished his business, he would take me to the immortal world, but I didn't know how many years it would take.

“The technique must not be leaked, otherwise you can show it to Brother Shi.

"correct.

"My master told me that many immortals have come to the mortal world recently, and they seem to be fighting for something. We may encounter them in the southeast. Many people have been implicated and died."

Another immortal...

Plus the strange phenomena in Luotian Mountains.

These people, want to cultivate immortality, but they insist on coming out to bring disaster to the mortal world, just as the saying goes, "When the gods fight, the mortals suffer."

"Brother Shi."

Zhang Shun continued, "How are you doing in Liangzhou? In the future..."

As they talked about this, he realized that he and his eldest brother seemed to be in opposing camps.

"Do you want to leave?"

Chen Sanshi said: "I will help you change your identity. Come with me to Liangzhou and then secretly bring your parents over."

After all, this is a group of traitors.

The reason why it has not been pacified yet is actually because the Prince of Zhennan has not been able to free up his hands.

"Brother Shi, this is the only thing that won't work."

Zhang Shun's expression became serious. "I don't want to deal with these corrupt officials in the court in my life, so I'll just work for the court. But if you need me in the future, Brother Shi, just let me know. I'm in Liangshanpo, so I have some say."

"Ok."

Chen Sanshi didn't persuade him much.

in fact.

No matter where you are, you still have to divide people.

The customs in Liangzhou are much better than those in other places.

No matter how big a sect is, it would not dare to act as tyrannically as the few martial arts schools in Poyang in the past. Otherwise, if someone reports it to the Governor's Mansion, someone will really take care of it.

Once a crime is committed, no matter who it is, they will be dealt with according to the law.

That's why.

That's why Sun Xiangzong offended so many people.

It is estimated that most of the sects and officials are hoping that he will die soon.

"Then you and I will say goodbye here."

While chatting, Chen Sanshi had used the materials he carried with him to restore his face to the appearance of a bald man.

"Be extremely careful!"

Zhang Shun said worriedly, "There's a demon who specializes in killing immortals in the southeast recently. Alas, there are a lot of things going on in the mountains recently, and the court has been watching covetously. I really can't leave. Otherwise, I would also like to go with you, although... it won't be of much use."

He is only at the Qi Refining level.

Water control is just a minor spell, its greater significance is to bluff people.

"A demon who specializes in killing immortals?"

Chen Sanshi became interested: "The devil in the world of immortal cultivation?"

"I heard it was a warrior."

Zhang Shun said with awe: "I don't know whether he is a warrior from the immortal world or a mortal warrior. Anyway, the immortals are looking for him while avoiding him. You must be careful. It is said that this demon is cruel and ruthless."

"okay, I get it."

Chen Sanshi stood up and looked at the completely silent ship: "This..."

"We don't have anything else but a lot of boats. I'll send someone to get you a better boat."

Zhang Shun patted his chest and said, "You don't have to worry about the dead. He was not from the same faction as us. And you used Mr. Jia's name. I will explain it clearly."

A storm was declared settled.

Half a day later.

They changed to a new boat and after several days of sailing, they finally docked.

This place is already considered to be within the territory of Nanxu.

"grown ups!"

Qin Changxu said, "To the southeast of here is a remote and desolate place. It is useless for us to follow you. We will wait for you in the nearest small town and make arrangements for your return."

The people sent by the Governor's Office did not know that they were going to look for immortals, they only knew that it was a secret mission.

They didn't ask any more questions and were very well behaved.

Moreover, they are all loyal and brave men, and their attitude towards Sun Xiangzong is just like the soldiers from Poyang towards Chen Sanshi.

"Thank you all for your support along the way!"

Chen Sanshi bowed deeply and said, "When we return to Liangzhou, I will find a chance to entertain you all."

"Why are you so polite, sir?"

Qin Changxu said: "Although we are no longer in the army, we are still under the command of the commander-in-chief. It is only natural for us to follow orders. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

"Chihiro, let's go!"

Chen Sanshi greeted him.

"coming!"

Because of the same mind.

He even had some auditory hallucinations, as if Chihiro was speaking human words.

When she was on the boat before, Qianxun had someone to protect her. After the boat sank, she jumped onto the small boat by herself. As long as she was not targeted by anyone, she basically didn't need to worry about anything.

But actually...

This trip.

Chen Sanshi originally didn't want to bring it with him. After all, they were going to the legendary fairyland, and he wasn't very sure about the outcome. It was really dangerous to bring a warhorse with him.

But Chihiro was very excited about this. She didn't want to bring it at first and made a fuss several times. Later, she repeatedly assured him that she would not be a burden, and finally she brought it with her, thinking that it might come in handy.

It just so happened.

The panel floats.

[Skill: Horse Riding (Great Mastery)]

【Progress: 0】

[Effect: ..., open the spiritual orifices]

[Awakening of Spiritual Acupoints: Humans have spiritual roots, and animals have spiritual acupoints. When humans open their spiritual roots, they can enter the path of immortality, and when animals open their spiritual acupoints, they can also enter the path of Taoism.]

"?"

"Da da!"

Qianxun stamped the horse's hooves and raised her head proudly.

"You want to cultivate immortality too?"

Chen Sanshi stroked its mane, and for a moment he was not sure whether it was the effect of the panel, or whether Qianxun herself was unusual, or both?
He tried to take out a spiritual stone: "Can you use it?"

Then, wisps of spiritual energy were seen flowing from the spirit stone into Qianxun's body.

Chen Sanshi hurriedly put away the spirit stone.

There are only seven pieces in total, and I can’t afford to support myself for now…

"Your horse is not an ordinary one, but it's probably not a divine beast either."

Ningxiang analyzed, "I read in the records that divine beasts all have relatively obvious characteristics, but it is always a good thing to be able to practice."

"lets go."

Chen Sanshi was riding on Qianxun.

Ningxiang and the other person followed behind.

So far, apart from herself, Qianxun seemed to have only let the girl Chen Yunxi ride on her.

However, Ningxiang and the others had martial arts skills to rely on, and they used a little trick to make their bodies lighter, so they were able to keep up by slowing down.

A group of three people.

Walk and stop among the mountains and fields.

The further south we went, the more humid the air became. At the end, we even felt like water vapor was sticking to our faces. After passing through several mountains, several days passed.

A small town appeared in front of them.

This is the last inhabited place before reaching the coast.

Nanling Town.

The town is not big, but it has everything you need, such as inns, restaurants, teahouses...

Because it is close to the sea.

You can smell the fishy smell of the sea from a long distance away.

After crossing the boundary marker of "Nanling Town", there are stalls selling seafood on both sides, and the prices are not expensive.

Daxu has a coastline.

Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. There is no seafood in either Qing Kingdom or Dasheng. It can be regarded as a chance to appreciate the local customs and culture.

before coming.

Ningxiang and Zhaozhao also changed into simple Nanxu clothes in advance. Without Chen Sanshi's instructions, they took the initiative to walk the streets to inquire about the news, and then they learned...

There are immortals here.

"of course it's true!"

An old man said: "I saw it with my own eyes. That night, a fairy was flying in the sky on a sword!"

"There are monsters too!"

"Are you from the capital city?"

"Are you here to see the Immortal as well?"

"Let me tell you, there are not only immortals, but also demons!"

"There was an immortal who died right in front of our town!"

"Hey~ There's a wanted poster for the devil ahead!"

"..."

"reward!"

The disguised Chen Sanshi threw out a silver ingot.

he noticed.

There are many high-level warriors from Nanxu on the street.

They were wearing the clothes of the local yamen constables, but in such a remote place, they could only refine their internal organs to a certain extent. How could they have so many levels of transformation energy... and even mysterious phenomena?

Obviously.

The people of Nanxu also noticed the movement here and secretly sent people over.

This trip.

Originally, Chen Sanshi was looking for the entrance to the fairyland, but after arriving here, he found that the "immortals" were all flocking to the "mortal world", which means that something big might be happening here.

There is also a demon who killed the immortal, and the government of Nanxu is wanted by him.

He walked along the street and soon saw the wanted poster at Caishikou.

There is a portrait on it.
