Pure Yang!

Chapter 184 Top Five in the World! South Zhang and North Zhang
The next day, in the morning.

At the Qilu High-Speed ​​Railway Station, Zhang Fan and his party finally ended their trip to Dongshan and set off for home.

Wei Qingsong came specially to see him off and brought Zhang Fan some local specialties from Dongshan, including ten kilograms of bean sprouts and twenty bags of roast chicken.

This time, he had succeeded in currying favor. Not only did he obey Zhang Fan's orders, he also established good relationships with Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu. He was just waiting for a transfer order back to Shangjing City.

In Wei Qingsong's heart, Zhang Fan and his group of Taoist priests from Baihe Temple will never let him down.

"Brother Fan, is the matter here settled?"

After getting in the car, Liu Xingchui couldn't help but ask.

"Ah."

Zhang Fan nodded without saying much. Some things, the fewer people who know about them, the better.

For example, the existence of the [Lord of the Crimson Palace]. When Zhang Fan saw this person yesterday, it was like seeing the blue sky after parting the clouds. He was so shocked that he realized that the world is vast and there are always people better than him.

It’s no wonder that the Wuwei Sect has been able to pass down its traditions to this day as it has such a master.

Looking at the world, Wuweimen is just a corner. Learning has no end and the way is infinite. He still has a long way to go.

Fortunately, Liu Nanxu rushed over from Zhenwu Mountain, otherwise, with the strength of Laoshan's head master Li Chengge alone, he would not be able to stop the terrifying [Lord of the Crimson Palace].

Of course, Liu Nanxu came here this time mainly to clean up Zhang Fan’s mess.

His statement was exactly the same as Li Chengge's, that supernatural powers should not be used rashly as the impact would be too great and the variables too great.

Especially Zhang Fan's magical power [Samadhi True Fire] is a third-grade magical power. Although the strange phenomenon it produces is not earth-shattering, some people with profound Taoism and keen perception can also detect it.

Like Li Chengge, he is in Dongshan Province, so he is close to the people and can naturally feel it.

In addition, the Taoist method practiced by Liu Nanxu was able to sense the heavens and the gods, and even those far away in Zhenwu Mountain could sense it.

The Lord of the Crimson Palace, Ming Shenshou, also came over following the smell.

This is the special feature of supernatural powers, just like the butterfly effect, a single move can affect the entire body, especially when one reaches the level of [Heavenly Master], where one follows the laws of nature and one's heart is in harmony with heaven and earth, it is easier to produce induction.

Of course, supernatural powers are divided into seven categories, and not every supernatural power can cause such a big commotion.

Generally speaking, when supernatural powers reach the fifth level, strange phenomena will occur, but there are of course differences.

Wu Ma Wu Qilu's [All Things as Talisman] is a fifth-grade magical power, which can be used without leaving any trace.

Just like Li Changgeng's [Regeneration of Severed Head], it is a fourth-grade magical power, but it will not produce too bizarre visions that can be captured and sensed by people.

After all, it was because Zhang Fan's [Samadhi True Fire] was too powerful. It was top-notch among the three grades and specialized in killing. When it became noisy, its aura would naturally change and attract attention.

For this reason, Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel worried. It was obvious that the [Lord of the Crimson Palace] was eyeing his magical power. How could he be safe if he was targeted by such a monster?

If it was someone else, it would be fine, but the Lord of the Crimson Palace's original magical power was [Stealing the Divine Machine], which was a power specifically used to rob others of their magical powers. Once targeted, death would be near.

The four magical powers he possessed were all taken from other people.

In response to such concerns, Liu Nanxu gave Zhang Fan a reassurance.

"There is a great master hidden in Yujing City, who is one of the top five in the world. With this person around, even someone like the Lord of the Crimson Palace would not dare to act rashly."

Zhang Fan recalled Liu Nanxu’s instructions to him.

"The top five masters in the world!?" Zhang Fan felt deeply suspicious.

Among the great masters in the world, the top spot naturally belongs to Chu Chaoran. This living immortal has been in an unshakable position since he defeated the former number one master in the world, Sanshi Taoist.

For sixty years, he has lived in seclusion in Zhenwu Mountain and rarely involved in the secular world, but his influence is everywhere.

In addition, Jiang Wansui and Chu Chaoran of Baihe Temple are known as [Southern Chu and Northern Jiang]. Their strength can be imagined. They can also occupy a seat among the top five in the world.

Just these two people account for two of the top five in the world.

Looking around the world, there are ten famous Taoist mountains, Taoist alliances in various provinces, and many hermit masters like Zhang Lingzong, not to mention the Wuwei Sect... In such a large Taoist world, how many masters and geniuses are there? How difficult is it to rank among the top five in the world?

"What Master Liu said should be true." Zhang Fan thought.

Liu Nanxu's knowledge is naturally not comparable to that of Zhang Fan today, and he is naturally more familiar with the stories of the world's masters. Since he is so sure, the great master hidden in Yujing City must have the strength to be among the top five in the world.

"Top five in the world... If I have the chance, I really want to meet them and ask for their advice." Zhang Fan's mind became active.

This trip to Dongshan was very fruitful. Not only did he enter the [High Power] level and bring back Jiang Lai, he also obtained [Zhang Beijiang] and [Jinxia Treasure Box], found out Li Changgeng's background, and successfully contacted the evil god.

Now, he is wholeheartedly determined to succeed in merging with God and escape the calamity completely.

Not to mention, Zhang Fan has been targeted by a being like the Lord of the Crimson Palace. Li Changgeng alone is like a thorn in his throat. God knows when he will come back to kill him.

This time, Li Changgeng was weakened again and again by [Demons Celebrating the Birthday] and [Golden Cloud Treasure Box] due to Zhao Jiexuan's repeated schemes, and was finally defeated by Zhang Fan.

Next time, he will definitely face Li Changgeng in his prime.

At this moment, Zhang Fan desires power and wants to become stronger more than ever.

"It's easy to separate the mind but hard to combine it." Zhang Fan sighed in his heart.

He knew that his only hope might lie on the [Golden Cloud Treasure Box]. Back then, the Taoist Sanshi understood the secret of the golden cloud in the box and only then did he practice the legendary [Three Corpses to Illuminate Life].

However, the golden glow in the box was very dangerous. Zhang Beijiang's strong body was not afraid of the power of the real fire, but because of opening the box once, his two arms were almost crippled and showed signs of carbonization.

Jiang Lai also opened the box once. Although he seemed fine on the surface, he had been a little listless and extremely sleepy since he came down from Luoxia Mountain.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan turned his head and looked at Jiang Lai who was sitting next to him.

At this time, Jiang Lai fell into a deep sleep, leaning slightly on Zhang Fan's shoulder.

Zhang Fan could even hear Jiang Lai's light breathing, and as he looked around, he saw her long eyelashes trembling slightly in the sunlight.

"The Golden Cloud Box is very dangerous." Zhang Fan slowly withdrew his gaze and did not dare to move casually to disturb Jiang Lai's sweet dream.

"Let's study it after we get back."

Zhang Fan made up his mind and placed most of his hopes on the [Golden Cloud Treasure Box]. This thing could not be seen in public, so he could only develop it behind closed doors.

I really have no idea. Maybe I can seek out the so-called top five masters in the world and ask for their advice to see if I can uncover the mystery of the Spirit Division Technique.

Originally, Zhang Fan wanted to go back to Zhenwu Mountain and consult Chu Chaoran in person.

After all, in terms of practice and knowledge, who can compare to this living immortal?

However, although Zhang Fan was a disciple of Zhenwu Mountain, he was like a loose being. Liu Nanxu implicitly expressed that the old master was in seclusion and should not see guests.

"That's outrageous. Having a master is the same as not having one, having parents is the same as not having parents."

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself. He found that his fate was really strange. He seemed to have a great background, but when the time came, he was helpless.

As long as Zhang Lingzong was around, he wouldn't have to beg for help from everyone and look for ways around.

"Dad, where have you been?" Zhang Fan said with a bitter face.

"Dad's dad is a monster, dad's mom is a monster..."

At this moment, a pleasant cell phone ringtone rang. Zhang Fan covered his pocket, turned his head and saw that Jiang Lai was not awake. He quickly took out his cell phone and pressed the mute button. The caller ID showed:

Li Yishan!
"Hey, where the hell have you been?"

Zhang Fan answered the phone and sent his sincere greetings. In the past few days, he could hardly contact Li Yishan. If he hadn't had something else on hand, he would have called the police first.

"Don't mention it. I went to Dongshan Province."

Li Yishan's long-lost voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You are in Dongshan Province? Where have you been?" Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment and then asked.

"Visiting an elder." Li Yishan said lightly.

"Do you have any relatives in Dongshan Province?" Zhang Fan asked.

"He's not really a relative, just an elder who likes collecting things, so he travels around. He happened to be in Dongshan, so I came to visit him." Li Yishan said casually. "What kind of collection does he have?"

"You weirdo, where are you?" Li Yishan changed the subject.

"I'm from Dongshan too, but I'm going back today."

"What a coincidence, we're going out to eat hotpot tonight."

Li Yishan's voice became excited: "I ordered a black dog, it's very nutritious."

"I'll make you up, see you tonight!"

Zhang Fan grinned and hung up the phone. He had been tense outside for so long, it was time to relax.

Outside the window, the rolling mountains kept receding, and the high-speed rail was like a giant silver-white dragon, moving away from Dongshan and heading towards Jiangnan Province and Yujing City.

……

Laoshan, Sanqing Temple.

"Master, Master Liu has been settled."

Taoist Priest Jiao Dian walked over from a distance and bowed to the calm Li Chengge.

"Brother Liu will be staying in the mountains for a while. You will be responsible for his daily life. Don't neglect him."

Li Chengge looked at the sea of ​​clouds, mountains and fog in front of him without turning his head.

"Of course." Taoist Priest Insulation nodded.

The arrival of Master Liu Tianshi from Zhenwu Mountain at Laoshan is a major event for the mountain, and no one would neglect it.

"Brother, Master Liu Tian came all the way from Zhenwu Mountain, is it really just for that... young man?" Taoist Priest Jue asked.

"Can't you see? Liu Nanxu is here on behalf of the old man. He is not an ordinary young man."

The old man that Li Chengge mentioned was naturally Chu Chaoran.

"It was this young man who fought with Li Changgeng of Baihe Temple a few days ago!" Taoist Priest Dijiao hesitated to speak.

That night, he saw the vision of the Samadhi True Fire and the vision of the golden light that spread across the earth.

It now seems that the one fighting against Li Changgeng is this young man named Zhang Fan.

However, he was quite surprised. He had never heard of such a disciple in Zhenwu Mountain before. He was extremely talented and possessed supernatural powers. He could actually fight with Li Changgeng of Baihe Temple. But no one knew who won or lost.

"Don't ask too much. We in Laoshan know nothing about this matter." Li Chengge shook his head.

If the person standing behind Zhang Fan was not Zhenwushan, then he would not care. However, Liu Nanxu came, and came on behalf of Chu Chaoran, so the meaning behind this was worth pondering.

"But... Baihe Temple has called us several times, asking us if there have been any unusual movements in Dongshan Province recently." Taoist Priest Dijiao said in a deep voice.

Li Changgeng did not return to Baihe Temple. His whereabouts in Dongshan Province were obviously known there. As for whether they had sensed the strange phenomenon of Samadhi True Fire, it was unknown.

Now that the person is gone, it is reasonable for Laoshan, as the gateway to Dongshan Province, to be questioned.

"Just say you don't know." Li Chengge shook his head.

"That's not right. We can definitely find some clues over there." Taoist Priest Insulation hesitated.

If Baihe Temple sensed the traces of the golden light and noticed the abnormality of the Samadhi True Fire, by connecting the two, it would be able to deduce that Li Changgeng had fought a battle with someone in Dongshan Province.

Laoshan is located in Dongshan Province, and no one would believe what he said if he knew nothing.

"The old man is still here." Li Chengge said without further ado.

Taoist Priest Insulation was silent for a moment and then nodded.

“By the way, tell Baihe Temple that the Lord of the Crimson Palace has shown up in Dongshan.” Li Chengge added.

"understood."

Taoist Priest Jian Dian bowed his head, saluted, and turned to leave.

"Wuwei Sect...it's been almost twenty years since I left Wuwei Sect."

Li Chengge looked at the sea of ​​clouds and fog in front of him and murmured softly. His voice was so faint that it seemed as if only he could hear it.

……

Shangjing City, Baihe Temple.

Inside an ancient temple, the smoke of incense curled up like a hazy green veil, wrapping around an old man and making his shadow seem even more illusory.

"teacher……"

At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest walked in, dressed in a distinguished purple robe, with a look of majesty without even anger.

"Laoshan has replied."

The purple-robed Taoist looked at the old man in front of him with a respectful attitude and uttered four words.

"No idea."

The wisps of incense smoke spread out, filling every corner of the palace. The old man seemed to be in a trance, motionless and indifferent.

Seeing this, the purple-robed Taoist couldn't help but continue, "But there are signs of supernatural powers appearing in Dongshan Province, and someone has fought with Chang Geng."

"It's impossible that Laoshan didn't know."

"Xiao Li, you are still as cunning as ever."

At this moment, the old man spoke. In the White Crane Temple, the only one who could call the head of Laoshan "Little Li" was the one who was revered as the half of the Taoist sect, "Long Live the Country"...

Long live Jiang!!!
"Teacher, Chang Geng..." The purple-robed Taoist priest hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, his lamp is still burning and he is still alive..." Jiang Wansui murmured softly.

"Disaster is the elixir of immortality. Being too smooth may not be a good thing..."

"As long as you are alive, you will never die."

After these words were spoken, the purple-robed Taoist bowed deeply.

"I've taken note of the teacher's teachings."

"Someone from Beizhang is coming..."

At this moment, Jiang Wansui changed the subject, which made the purple-robed Taoist's expression suddenly tense.

"Is it for Zhang Lingzong!?"

"The person has been found. He is still hiding in Ailao Mountain. He can only hide in that place." Jiang Wansui said lightly.

"Teacher, his divine and demonic fetus is almost complete, and he has escaped the fifth great night calamity. It is too difficult to kill him." The purple-robed Taoist sighed.

"Does he think that he can become invincible after cultivating the Holy Embryo of God and Demon?" Jiang Wansui's voice became as cold as frost.

"Everything is born with strength, and there is always a stronger one."

"The nine great inner alchemy methods are passed down in the world, and there are also nine great magic tools hidden in the world. The nine tools are the nemesis of the nine methods."

Even the purple-robed Taoist priest had never heard of the secrets that Jiang Wansui told.

Everyone in the world thinks that the nine inner alchemy methods are invincible, but they don't know the secret of the world. There are nine magic weapons that are as bright as the dust, hidden in the secular world, which can restrain the nine inner alchemy methods respectively!
"Find him. Zhang Lingzong has lived too long." Jiang Wansui said calmly.

"After all, this is the only branch of Nan Zhang left."

"Yes, teacher!" the purple-robed Taoist said respectfully.
