Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 371: Blood of the Ice Phoenix, True Biography of the Yuanshen (Subscribe!)
Thousands of feet in the sky, the vast sea of ​​clouds was rolling and surging, and on the Jinting Immortal Palace and the Sword Fighting Immortal Platform, Lu Cheng turned around and flew back to the Xiao sisters.

But in his heart, he inexplicably felt that this level was too easy to pass.

For some reason, Lu Cheng felt that Gu Yunge seemed to be happier than himself just now, and was not angry because he forced him to retreat with his sword.

"He has the will to fight but not the will to kill. How can the leader of the three great independent cultivators in Haiyuan City be so easily dealt with? But what does he really want?"

"My husband, are you worried about something?"

At this time, Xiao Yuhong, who was watching the battle on the cliff nearby, saw that Lu Cheng was thinking and asked softly.

"Oh, no, I was just thinking about the changes in the sword fight just now."

There is no point in making further groundless speculation of this kind, it will only add to the burden on the family.

Xiao Yuhong could also see that Lu Cheng was hiding something, but she didn't ask too many questions. Xiao Yuxue, who was standing by, was overjoyed:

After today’s sword fight, the Lu family increased their income and added assets.

Suddenly, Lu Cheng noticed a jade talisman in his sleeve that vibrated slightly. He looked over and saw that Master Feng Dong, who was following Gu Yunge, also looked back at this moment, looking tall and graceful like a crane.

It was rare to see a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage take action, especially when Lu Cheng used the sword skills and Taoism of the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace to force the enemy back, which made most people present feel that they had benefited, so most of them meditated in seclusion that night.

At midnight, Lu Cheng walked under the frosty moonlight and came to the west side hall of Jinting Xianque.

It was winter at the time, with snow falling all over the sky. The moonlight shone through the window frames carved from ice jade, casting fine silver light on the shoulders of Master Feng Dong.

At this time, this beautiful nun was cooking a pot of snow-top cloud buds. When the green jade spoon gently stirred it, white smoke rose and the aroma was fragrant.

Lu Cheng looked at Master Feng Dong at this moment, and felt that she had a different temperament from when she was with Gu Yunge. Of course, it could also be that she usually restrained her edge when she was with her master.

"Daoyou Lu is indeed a trustworthy person."

"Why did Fellow Daoist Feng secretly send me a message?"

After fighting with Gu Yunge in broad daylight today, Lu Cheng flew down from the sword fighting stage and received a communication jade talisman in his sleeve. The technique was extremely skillful. Except for Lu Cheng, the recipient of the technique, none of the other cultivators on the cliff noticed the communication jade talisman.

"Unlike Master, I don't like wine, but my tea-making skills are decent. The sixth-grade spiritual tea, Snow Peak Cloud Bud, is a must-try."

Feng Dong raised her hand to untie the ice silk ribbon that bound her hair. Her black hair fell like a waterfall. Her slender fingertips touched the surface of the teapot. The energy of ice and fire gathered and then suddenly exploded, and finally the spiritual tea that emerged was lush and green, overflowing with vitality.

Lu Cheng politely sat down in front of this Kun Xiu and took the spiritual tea. Although he could smell the fragrance of the tea, he did not take a sip.

After integrating the true blood of the golden silkworm Gu, Taoist Lu Cheng's ability to resist poison has been greatly improved. If he can cultivate the Ten Transformations of Xuantian Five Elements Poison, he will be immune to all poisons.

But who knows if there are 10,000 and one kinds of poisons in this world that can control oneself?

Who knows whether this spiritual tea is beneficial to humans in itself, but after drinking it, one will have a strange fragrance on the body that is undetectable to others except the owner, making it impossible to hide in front of this True Lord Feng Dong?

The Taoist nature that Lu Cheng cultivated is courageous and decisive, but not stupid.

However, Master Fengdong noticed that Lu Cheng held the cup but did not drink, but did not say much about it. Instead, a hint of admiration appeared on his beautiful face, although it only lasted for a moment.

“In fact, my master does not like wine in this life. Unlike the drunk Taoist, my master cannot feel that his life is without regrets from drinking fine wine. In this life, my master only likes Taoism.

He became a sixth-rank spirit wine master only because Master received the spirit wine method inheritance. If Master had received other immortal cultivation arts inheritance, Master would also have come this far. "Master Feng Dong raised his hand to hold the cup, sipped the spirit tea, closed his eyes and felt the fragrance of the tea.

"Among the people who practice Taoism in this world, who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage? Who wouldn't want to be a Taoist?" Lu Cheng asked back without changing his expression.

"...That's true. My life is limited, but the Tao is limitless. To pursue the limitless with the limited is dangerous!"

Upon hearing this, Master Fengdong was slightly moved.

After a moment, he collected himself and continued:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you know that Master is already a Tribulation Transformation Cultivator?"

"I don't know about that."

"Master didn't practice in Haiyuan City in his first life. One thousand four hundred years ago, Haiyuan City was far from being as vast and powerful as it is today. Master came here to establish the Changle League in order to supplement his practice. It is also the first of the three major loose cultivator alliances today."

Listening to Master Feng Dong talking about the past, Lu Cheng didn't find it annoying, but he quickly grasped the key points:

If Gu Yunge is a cultivator who has reached the stage of tribulation, then his life span should not be long now!

For a Nascent Soul cultivator to reincarnate and live another life is a reversal of fate. He cannot take away any of his magical powers that can move mountains and fill the sea. Once he is born in his mother's womb in this life, the pregnancy needs to be controlled within three months. Otherwise, the baby will be formed and the innate true spirit will be born. The cultivator who is in the state of reincarnation needs to have a fight with these innate true spirits first, which greatly increases the difficulty of the cultivator's reincarnation.

Even if one is able to refine the true spirit, it will not be of any benefit at all. Instead, it will greatly damage the five virtues of the cultivator, and both good virtues and blessings will be severely damaged.

There was once a Nascent Soul cultivator who forcibly took over the body of a newly formed infant. As a result, he was born without spiritual roots and was trapped in that body, living a miserable life.

In this regard, the cultivators of the magic path have an advantage. They will even plant magic seeds in cultivators with natural spiritual roots or special spiritual roots, and let those cultivators with magic seeds practice magic skills through various "opportunities" since childhood. Once they themselves encounter a disaster, as long as a trace of magic thought escapes, they can be reborn in the body of a cultivator of the magic seed millions of miles away, and directly possess a certain amount of magic power.

As for the righteous cultivators, before their own death comes, they prepare countless pregnant women with excellent qualifications to avert the tribulation. As long as the pregnancy is within three months and the fetus is a blank slate, the Nascent Soul cultivators have a great chance of averting the tribulation and successfully passing the mystery in the fetus, and there are almost no cases of them losing their spiritual roots, and at most their qualifications are slightly worse.

Such a cultivator who has crossed the tribulation barrier can usually cultivate to the level of magical power of his previous life within two hundred years, but if he wants to break through further, he must practice hard again.

Whether Gu Yunge is a cultivator who has reached the state of reincarnation is top secret in the Changle League.

Because if he is not, then with Gu Yunge's accumulated cultivation in this life, it is very likely that he will cultivate to the Yuanshen realm in the next life. Even if he cannot cultivate to the Yuanshen realm, a great cultivator with only two hundred years of weakness period is enough to deter foreign enemies for the Changle League.

But if he is, there is a great possibility that the Changle League will fall into chaos in a few hundred years. As far as Lu Cheng knows, although the Changle League has several mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, the alliance has always been relatively loose, and there seems to be no one worthy of trust. Even the True Lord Feng Dong in front of him, her magic power is a little weak, and it is probably far from enough to intimidate the group of cultivators and defend the foundation of the Changle League.

"Tiansha League's Master Jiang An has practiced for two lifetimes, and now has placed his future hopes on the illusory Taoist luck and reincarnation. Lonely Moon League's Master Bihua, although he has great ambitions, has no time to show his ambitions.

My master is the only one who loves Taoism. He is determined to follow Taoism and will not regret it even if he dies nine times. My master has studied hard for thousands of years and has created the highest level of Yin-Yang Transformation Wine, and even opened up the way to immortality. "

When Master Feng Dong said this, his expression became slightly excited, and a blush appeared on his fair face. However, this was normal. It was natural for a disciple to worship his master.

Feng Dong was discovered to have natural spiritual talent since she was a child, and was taken in by Gu Yunge to be trained. She cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage when she was over 500 years old. It can be said that she is very loyal. If Gu Yunge has another tribulation, he will arrange for her to guard the path.

"Oh, I'd love to hear the details."

Even the ancestor of the soul of this world may not dare to utter the four words "path to immortality".

Do you really think that the tribulation of ascending from the mortal world to the immortal world is easy?
Moreover, considering Gu Yunge's remaining lifespan, it would be extremely difficult for him to cultivate to the Yuanshen realm. It's not to say that there is no chance at all, but it seems that his chances are no more than 10%.

"You should have tasted the Yin-Yang Transformation Wine, fellow Daoist. It was only a remnant that had not yet been fully developed. The real Yin-Yang Transformation Wine can be comparable to a sixth-grade high-quality elixir, helping to increase the cultivator's mana. However, Master needs the blood and sweat of a sixth-grade ice phoenix as a spiritual guide."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng thought about the distribution map of demon kings near Haiyuan City. There was indeed a sixth-level demon king, the Ice Phoenix, entrenched there, but that demon king was in the late sixth level.

"The Ice Phoenix is ​​an ancient species. It is just like the True Dragon, Heavenly Phoenix, and Kirin. They are the masters of the world's flying birds, walking beasts, and scales respectively. Although the Ice Phoenix bloodline is not as good as the Heavenly Phoenix, it still has the true blood of the Phoenix. With such a demon king entrenched in Haiyuan City for thousands of years, why can't we eradicate it?"

Lu Cheng's words already implied a rejection.

"The Ice Phoenix regenerates once every three thousand years, changing its tendons and cleansing its marrow to rebuild its physical body. For the Ice Phoenix in the Earthly Immortal Realm, each rebirth will improve its own bloodline qualifications, but I am short of spiritual energy in the mortal world. After each rebirth, the Ice Phoenix's magic power, physical body, and even intelligence will decline significantly in a short period of time. My master has been planning for a thousand years and already knows the exact time of the Ice Phoenix's rebirth!"

"..." Lu Cheng's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he still didn't say a word. "My master used the blood of the Ice Phoenix to brew the Yin-Yang Transformation Wine, which will help him break through the Yuanshen realm and increase his lifespan by a thousand years. In addition, the Ice Phoenix has the innate ability of space, which can tear space, move space, and sense space, which are all very powerful.

My master has already experienced a catastrophe, and the remaining thousand years will be spent on searching for the spatial rift between the mortal world and the earthly immortal world. If it fails, it will be fine. But if it succeeds, we can all avoid the catastrophe of ascension and get a glimpse of the road to immortality!"

At this moment, Lu Cheng completely understood why he felt that Gu Yunge was only happy after the previous fight.

Compared with his own path, even the power of the five sects in Haiyuan City has to rank behind.

"…Why did you choose me?"

"Master has practiced for two lifetimes and cultivated a magical power called 'Heavenly Heart Disaster Avoidance Method'. Master told me that the more he fought with you, the more he felt a deep calamity entangled in his body, and it was getting heavier and heavier. Fellow Daoist Lu should be from a Yuanshen sect, and he should even be carrying a seventh-level talisman or even a magic treasure, right?"

The gate of the soul, the seventh-level talisman and even the spiritual treasure. When he said this, even though Master Feng Dong tried his best to suppress it, there was still a hint of trembling in his voice.

The seventh-level talisman can be regarded as a treasure that suppresses the sect's foundation in the Yuanshen sect, because not every Yuanshen ancestor is proficient in the art of talismans, or it can be said that the vast majority of Yuanshen ancestors are not proficient in this art. What's more, even if they are proficient, it is by no means an easy task to collect spiritual objects in the mortal world that can be used to draw seventh-level talismans.

There is no need to say more about the seventh-order spiritual treasures. There are many seventh-order magic weapons. Because in the seven worlds of Dingzhang, Tongtian, Liehuo, Xuankong, Jumang, Yuqing, and Yinyang, although the Yuanshen ancestors do not show up, there are still many of them. When they are promoted to the Yuanshen realm, their natal magic weapons will naturally be promoted as well. Maybe the number of seventh-order magic weapons is even more than the seventh-order talismans.

However, Nascent Soul cultivators are unable to activate seventh-tier magic weapons. Only those beings that have developed their own spirituality can activate guardian weapons. They already have their own consciousness and emotions, and therefore are willing to choose a talented disciple who they like from among the original master's disciples to protect his path and safeguard the sect left behind by his master.

On the Jinting Xianque sword fighting stage before, the more Gu Yunge fought with Lu Cheng, the more he felt that the calamity energy was gathering and contaminating his body, becoming thicker and heavier. He began to wonder in his heart if he had attacked too hard.

This made Lu Cheng want to kill him, and he planned to use a seventh-level thunder talisman or a seventh-level spiritual treasure to attack him.

If he was not a true disciple of the Yuanshen Sect, how could he have such superb swordsmanship and such miraculous skills?
If he was not carrying a seventh-tier talisman or a seventh-tier spiritual treasure, how could a cultivator at the third stage of the Nascent Soul stage have an increasingly strong sense of danger while practicing the "Tianxin Disaster Avoidance Method"?

"As long as Fellow Daoist Lu can help Master obtain the Ice Phoenix's Heart Blood, Master can also give the Changle League that he has been managing for thousands of years to Fellow Daoist as a Shangzhen Villa."

Seeing that Lu Cheng remained silent for a long time, Master Feng Dong thought that he had not yet convinced the other party.

Come to think of it, the seventh-level talisman is regarded as a precious treasure even in the Yuanshen Sect. No matter how favored the other party is, they probably wouldn't dare to waste it easily.

As for the seventh-tier spiritual treasure, it is even more unimaginable. Although the seventh-tier spiritual treasure can activate magic power many times, it will consume its own essence every time. If it consumes too much, it will fall into a deep sleep, or even its spirituality will decline.

The status of a seventh-tier spiritual treasure in the Yuanshen Sect is probably second only to Yuanshen cultivators, and its importance is far greater than that of ordinary disciples.

"This matter is of great importance. I need to think about it again."

At this time, Lu Cheng also knew the whole story and understood what was going on.

Gu Yunge wanted to borrow the Ice Phoenix's blood to refine the Yin-Yang Transformation Wine, which could greatly increase the magic power of cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, and thereby impact the Primordial Spirit realm.

If he succeeds, he can extend his life by a thousand years.

But even if he succeeded, that thousand years of life would not be enough for him to practice normally and ascend to the upper realm, so Gu Yunge wanted to give up Changle League and travel around the seven realms to find the space rift node between the mortal world and the earthly immortal world. Although the chances of success in doing so were not high, it was definitely better than his normal practice.

A seventh-level soul cultivator has cultivated his Nascent Soul to the same size as his physical body and has become one with the Tao. In fact, he has already established the foundation for immortality. It's just that the spiritual energy in the mortal world is insufficient, so the soul cultivator has only a lifespan of three thousand years. But as long as they can reach the upper realm, the soul cultivator can live forever.

This is just like the cultivators below the Golden Core Realm, whether they are at the Purple Mansion or Foundation Establishment Realm, who will suffer a decline in mana if they are in an environment lacking spiritual energy for a long time.

If a cultivator has reached the realm of refining emptiness or even the realm of fusion, he will not have to worry about his lifespan in the mortal world. Although his magic power will no longer increase, he will not die of old age. However, this is not the case for cultivators of the primordial spirit realm.

"Okay, then it's settled."

In the end, Lu Cheng accepted the invitation from Gu Yunge and Feng Dong Zhenjun. There was no other way because the other party offered too much.

"Master Lu will definitely not regret today's decision."

True Lord Feng Dong also looked excited. She was Gu Yunge's disciple. Although she had natural spiritual talents and had made rapid progress in her Taoist studies since she was young, she had no confidence in being able to ascend to become an immortal.

Everything that Master Gu Yunge did, whether it was brewing Yin-Yang Transformation Wine or looking for space rifts, was a shortcut for her.

It is difficult to cultivate to become a spiritual cultivator in the mortal world. However, if one wants to cultivate to become a spiritual cultivator in the immortal world, the difficulty will definitely be greatly reduced due to the difference in spiritual environment and techniques.

That night, Master Feng Dong left. Lu Cheng stood on the snowy peak, gazing at the falling snow. He stood there for a long time before turning around and leaving.

After agreeing to Master Fengdong's request, the Changle League immediately returned the favor and gave a response.

Although the Changle League did not gain any benefits in Lucheng, it still helped the Jinting Xianque of Canglong Mountain and blocked the counterattack of the Tiansha League.

Gu Yunge's reaction made the Five Sects of Haiyuan City and Tiansha League suspicious.

They have been fighting each other for thousands of years. After years of open and covert struggles and mutual cooperation, Gao Mochen and Jiang An both know clearly who Gu Yunge is.

Gu Yunge is a sixth-rank spirit wine master, but he himself does not like wine. He is a very sober person who has devoted his life to the Tao.

Inside the Sea Palace in Haiyuan Town.

"Since Master Gu has come forward, then we should follow the city's rules and give him what he deserves. After all, a large spiritual mine will not be mined out within a hundred years. We have plenty of time to slowly investigate the details of this Daoist Friend Lu."

At the meeting of the five sects, Gao Mochen, the great elder of the Raolong Sect, said this, and the cultivators below talked to each other and nodded.

There is no need to offend a true disciple of the Yuanshen for a few spirit stones and monster hunting merits, even if it is just a possibility.

The headquarters of the Tiansha Alliance in Haiyuan City.

Gu Nansong was standing in front of a floating spiritual mirror, observing the etiquette and accepting instruction.

"Nansong, put aside all the things you were planning to do in the near future."

"What, Master?"

"...You should know very well who Gu Yunge is. He wants to be on good terms with Jinting Xianque even if he doesn't want to gain any benefits. That person surnamed Lu must be a disciple of one of the ten great Yuanshen sects. It is said that among the disciples of Wan Pavilion Master of Langhuan Qianbao Pavilion, there is one with the surname Lu..."

The Golden Court Fairy Palace at Canglong Mountain.

Lu Cheng signed the written contract, and the entire process went extremely smoothly. In this way, his family would have a legacy in this world that could be passed down from generation to generation.

"You still don't know your full name?"

"Don't mention your surname Wan, I am Wan Feiyu of the Dragon Sect."

The person in front of Lu Cheng was a young Taoist who looked somewhat feminine and delicate, but he was extremely capable in his work and his magical powers were pure and profound.

What's more, the other party had just presented him with such a huge inheritance, so Lu Cheng naturally wanted to make friends with him. He raised his arm and invited Fellow Daoist Wan to come in.

"I will not go into the palace to bother you. I think Master Lu has a lot of things to deal with and he has a lot of things to do. I will definitely visit him again someday. Today, I will send the spirit contract back to Haiyuan City so that the sect can rest assured."

This boy was so meticulous in his conduct and Lu Cheng felt that he admired this fellow Taoist in front of him even more.
