Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 322 Black Bone Mystery
The day after Master Kang received the Dai Se letter, Taoist Hei Lu summoned him to meet him at the Bi He Cave: "You also received the letter from Chu Yanran, right? Half a year later, you and Qing Ge'er will go with me to the Puzhou Guanshan Cave."

Seeing that Sect Leader Kang finally had no more cowardice on his face this time, and was only slightly surprised, Taoist Hei Lu was quite satisfied, but he did not explain, and just said bluntly: "I made a deal with Chu Yanran, we have to form an alliance with him and his wife in the cave."

"Yes." Kang Dabao bowed his head and responded, then asked softly, "Uncle Master, may I ask if Senior Chu has any enemies who want to join him in entering the Jindan Villa?"

This is not difficult to guess. After all, the Haoyue Token is a token of entry into Guanshan Cave, the upper cultivation palace of Guanyu. It is still worth a lot in the eyes of the foundation-building cultivators in the nearby states.

Chu Yanran gave one to the Black-shoe Taoist so generously, so she must have other intentions.

"It's not an enemy, it's just a common problem for beautiful women in this world, a peach blossom disaster." The black-shoe Taoist was not interested in talking about this matter, and he ignored the curiosity in the eyes of the fat man sitting opposite him and continued:
"It is rumored that some big families such as the Yue family in Hancheng and the Yuan family in Jingnan will also send their elite members to participate. Your relationship with these families is not very good. If you meet them, you need to be more careful."

"My nephew will make preparations early after he returns." Kang Dabao responded in a deep voice.

"Well, take this thing back and practice well. The more your ability improves, the safer you will be." As he spoke, the Taoist in black shoes took out a small transparent goose-neck bottle, and with a breeze, it fell into the hands of Master Kang.

"This is..." Sect Leader Kang only felt that the spiritual liquid was very powerful, but it was difficult to discern its origin. At this time, he only heard the Taoist Black Shoes continue to say:
"This is 'Three Mysterious True Dew', a second-grade top-grade spiritual dew produced by the Yang family of Yezhou. It is used to practice pupil techniques and is even better than the Clear Eyes Treasure Liquid.

Your eyes were damaged some time ago, so you can’t overuse them. Drop three drops of this medicine every ten days and let it sink into your acupoints. You should see some results within a year.”

Kang Dabao heard it clearly and knew that this must have been found by Taoist Heilu specifically for him, so he did not refuse politely and took the bottle of Sanxuan Zhenlu in his hand.

Ever since Gun Shide and Bushe collected a bottle of Qingmou Treasure Liquid for Kang Dabao as a token of gratitude to Heilu Daoist, Kang Dabao has used several bottles of this high-quality spiritual liquid. He can already feel the effect of Qingmou Treasure Liquid more keenly, and it is gradually not as good as it was at the beginning.

Now, the Black-Shoe Taoist has found the even rarer Three Mysterious True Dew for him. This is like a blessing in disguise, so he is naturally happy.

Taoist Heilu was particularly satisfied with the performance of Master Kang.

After he was satisfied, he saw a trace of reminiscence in the depths of his eyes. The fat monk who was holding the big banner and had a crazy face and wanted to block the fake pill master for him floated in front of him again.

The Taoist raised his lips slightly, thinking to himself, "If it weren't for this lazy guy, I might not be able to hide it from those big shots in Taixu."

Taoist Heilu naturally knew that there were many fake golden elixirs in Yunjiao Prefecture who were keeping an eye on him. It was possible that Xue Wu, the fake elixir from Hongyi Sect, had other intentions when he came here.

These big shots may not necessarily take themselves that seriously, but since it's easy and effortless to make a move, why not do it?

"Yunjiaozhou Ting. I'll go find Shan Gong in a few days and then we'll make a plan." Xue Wu's appearance was a complete wake-up call for Heilu Dao Ren. He turned to look at Kang Dabao and asked, "This year, there is a fairy seedling in the Shan family who wants to join the Chongming Sect. Is that right or not?"

Kang Dabao didn't know where the Taoist Hei Lu came from. He was stunned for a moment before he replied, "To be honest, Uncle Master, the Shan family does have an immortal seedling, but..."

"Accept him!" The head of the Kang sect was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by the Taoist Black Shoes. The latter thought for a moment and seemed to think that this was not enough, so he said, "Not only should we accept him, but we should also make him an inner sect disciple as soon as he enters the sect."

"Uncle Master? This..." Kang Dabao looked puzzled. The Taoist in black shoes just said calmly, "Shan Sheng didn't tell you the truth before. He still has one longevity pill left that he made with half a piece of Qionglong grass from Master Shan Dan. And Mr. Shan should not have taken this pill yet."

"Oh," Master Kang suddenly realized what he had heard. According to the letter sent by Qin Sufu recently, Shan Gong's condition has not been very good these days. He may die within one or two months.
Yin Shangong has been traveling in Yunjiao Prefecture for many years. He has done countless things to help the poor and the needy and uphold justice. It is no exaggeration to praise him as "a man who has benefited the entire prefecture."

In recent years, when the longevity he gained from the Golden Elixir Demon Spirit was about to run out, there were many people like the Black Shoe Taoist today who searched for elixirs to prolong his life for him.

That is why Yin Shangong has been able to hold on until now, and even in the past few years, he was able to personally participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Chen Ye.

But to be honest, considering Shan Gong's current dying condition, even if Taoist Hei Lu really got the longevity pill from Shan Sheng, he might not be able to save him.

Therefore, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Taoist Heilu will still go and exchange for the elixir to give it a try.

Master Kang suddenly understood. After all, a person can only take one longevity pill in his lifetime. Shan Sheng waited until now to release the news to Taoist Heilu just to earn a favor.

Shan Sheng really worked hard and devoted all his energy to the Shan family. I wonder if the descendants of the Shan family will be able to live up to him after his death.

This time, Sect Leader Kang had been right in his calculations. He knew that even for the sake of Shan Gong, the immortal seedling of the Shan family should be accepted as an inner disciple as Taoist Heilu had said.

After the joint was passed, Kang Dabao did not hesitate at all and just said, "Kid, I understand!"

Seeing that the Black Shoe Taoist was about to leave, the head of the Kang Sect asked again: "If you want to go to Feiyue Valley in Hong County, do you need me to accompany you? I have a good relationship with Shan Sheng, so I think it's okay."

The Taoist Hei Lu shook his head, gestured to stop Kang Dabao from talking, and said in a deep voice: "When I go back this time, there is no reason for the Shan family not to give it to me."

Hearing what the Black Shoe Taoist said, the head of the Kang family was worried about Shan Sheng. He hoped that although the latter was about to die, his mind was still clear. Otherwise, the Feiyue Shan family might have another tragedy.

After the uncle and nephew had finished talking, Taoist Heilu left the Biha Cave. After sending messages to Fei Shuhe and Duan Anle respectively, Master Kang began to practice on the spot at this second-level spiritual vein.

Xiaohuanshan, which now only possesses a first-grade superior spiritual vein, can no longer satisfy the needs of a powerful cultivator like Master Kang.

Kang Dabao had already put the matter of upgrading the sect's spiritual vein to the second level on the agenda, but the project was difficult and not something that ordinary people could undertake. The most accomplished geomancer in the Fei family in Xuanwei City happened to be out of town for something and would not be back for another half a year, so the project was put on hold for the time being.

However, according to what other farmers who had come to explore the Chongming Sect said, generally speaking, the greatest potential of the Xiaohuanshan spiritual vein is nothing more than upgrading to the second-grade lower grade, and it is too wasteful and may not be cost-effective.

In recent years, the provincial government has been confiscating houses and exterminating families everywhere, leaving many immortal mountains and spiritual veins empty. It would be better to say hello to Sima Fei and take one to use.

Objectively speaking, this idea is quite pragmatic and is in line with the wishes of the head of Kangda.

However, even with the new sacred mountain, Sect Leader Kang is reluctant to give up Xiaohuan Mountain, the place of revival. Therefore, this spiritual vein must be seriously upgraded and left for future generations to admire. However, it still requires long-term planning.

March is over in a blink of an eye
Kang Dabao sat cross-legged on a green jade cushion with his eyes slightly closed. He made the Tai Chi seal with one hand in front of his chest and the dragon and tiger seal with the other hand at his dantian.

Three jade beads were placed on the top of his head, emitting a faint fluorescence.

His breathing was long and even. As the technique was running, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered around him, forming a soft airflow visible to the naked eye, surrounding his body, layer upon layer, and continuously. "Hu" the turbid air was exhaled, and the head of Kang Dabao raised his eyebrows slightly. His eyes were clear as ice, and the edges of his black pupils showed gold edges, which made them look more solid. The Sanxuan Zhenlu given by the black shoe Taoist was really extraordinary. After only three months, the hidden injuries in Kang Dabao's eyes were mostly healed.

However, due to the difficulty in finding the "Moon Fern", the practice of the Golden Eyes that Master Kang has been practicing has stopped at the stage of minor success.

He also knew that he was anxious, so he asked Yan Qingwei to help him find out about this spiritual medicine not long ago. It should not be difficult to find the whereabouts of this spiritual medicine given the influence of Wuwei Tower throughout Shannan Road.

Suddenly, Kang Dabao spread his fingers and two crisp sounds were heard in the cloud room. The three jade beads on the top of his head also instantly stopped glowing and fell back into Kang Dabao's hands one by one.

After carefully putting away the three jade beads, Sect Leader Kang saw the circle of spirit stones that had been broken into pieces in the spirit gathering array in front of him. He couldn't help but feel poor and miserable. He thought to himself:
"After building the foundation, the spiritual stones used for cultivation are far more than those used during the Qi training period. Just one ordinary cultivation session is enough to be equivalent to several years' salary for many Qi training disciples."

"Hoohoo!" Watching the breeze that he summoned take away all the spiritual stone powder on the ground, Kang Dabao changed his mind and thought, "I wonder how many spiritual stones I will need to cultivate until I am 200 years old?

Obviously, the spiritual essence contained in the spiritual veins is sufficient, but those children of the big families actually want to set up a spiritual gathering array for that little bit of gain that is completely worthless. Tsk, this method of cultivation is really extravagant. It's better to have a taste of it now. You should learn less in the future."

Fortunately, after obtaining the third jade beads, the time it took for Master Kang to break through and comprehend the key points of the martial arts was shortened a lot, which further filled a gap for Kang Dabao, who had poor qualifications.

The Changxi Jue has reached perfection, and "The True Explanation of the Ancient Original Body of Beiye Palace·Volume 1" is also about to reach the level of general proficiency. Even his own cultivation has made considerable progress.

You have to know that in the path of cultivation, "spiritual power is easy to cultivate, but bottlenecks are difficult to break." Sect Leader Kang now has three jade beads in his hands, and he doesn't know how many years he can save that should have been wasted.

According to this calculation, if Master Kang does not consider bottlenecks and obstacles in his subsequent practice, he can practice to the peak of foundation building before the age of 170, until the theory of alchemy is perfected and he can try to form an elixir.

Even those double spiritual roots foundation-building cultivators who were fortunate enough to become disciples of the Golden Core Sect could hardly be much more appreciative than Sect Master Kang. This jade ornament was truly extraordinary.

Besides
Kang Dabao's mind moved, and a black bone stick reappeared in his hand.

The immortal seal in the middle of the bone stick dimmed again after Master Kang used the jade pendant to comprehend the "True Explanation of the Ancient Original Body of Beiye Palace·Volume 1", a top-grade body refining technique of the cosmic level. It was unknown when the next immortal seal would light up.

Black Bones have undergone several strange changes over the years, and Kang Dabao has discovered some common points: every corpse that was beaten into powder and had its essence sucked away by Black Bones seems to have the surname Wu!

Taoist Wu's surname was Wu, the mountain barbarian cultivator in the tomb was surnamed Wu, and the casual cultivator who was killed by me out of momentary indignation was also surnamed Wu.
Finally, Sect Leader Kang couldn't find out the origin of the casual cultivator named Wu, but he was sure of the identity of the Shanman cultivator. He must be a high-ranking figure in the Shanman army that caused chaos back then.

And the Taoist Wu who died in the Niuguier Teahouse, according to what the poisonous woman in the tomb said, should be the direct descendant of the famous mountain barbarian cultivator.

As for whether there is any relationship between Taoist Wu's family and the deceased monk surnamed Wu, based on the information that Master Kang has collected from his disciples over the years, the answer should be no.

"Could it be that the original owner of this black bone had a grudge against the man named Wu?!" This thought had just arisen in Kang Dabao's mind when he denied it, thinking that it was just a coincidence.

After all, not long ago, when Wu Yu was killed by Jiang Qing, Hei Gu had no reaction, and the same was true when his grandfather Wu Cangyun died.

Among the foundation-building warriors who surrendered from Hongyi Sect, except Wu Cangyun, whose five limbs and six yang were taken away by Sect Master Kang on the spot, the rest were sold to the Sima Mansion of the provincial court as soldiers by Chongming Sect.

In addition, Sect Leader Kang had previously relied on the Thunder Swallow Rune that Kuang Liuting had set up at some point in time to reduce the fake Dan Xue Wu of the Hongyi Sect to scum.

Kang Dabao thought it through very clearly. If he didn't hold on tightly to Kuang Liuting's thigh, the Chongming Sect might be overthrown in an instant!
Although Jie Yi was beaten into a state of disgrace by Kuang Liuting, he was still a genuine golden elixir. If he really went crazy, even his uncle Fei Nan'an would not be able to stop him.

The anxious Kangda Sect Master thought that there would be a series of storms after this, but he didn't know what kind of exchange those bigwigs above had made to make Hongyi Sect, a great Jindan sect that dominated the whole state, act as if nothing had happened.

Not to mention taking any revenge against Kang Dabao, the instigator, even those Dingzhou cultivators who had frequently harassed the immortals and mortals in Yunjiaozhou in the past have become much quieter.

The head of the Kang Sect could not be so naive as to think that the Jie Yi Shang Xiu Zhen was so magnanimous. In his view, this was just a temporary measure made by the Jindan who was unable to suppress Kuang Liuting, the first foundation-building cultivator in Shannan Dao, due to his lack of strength.

Then again, since not everyone with the surname Wu will be drained of their blood, flesh and marrow by the black bones, then
"It is recorded in the notes of our ancestor that the mountain barbarians call the strongest among their leaders 'Wu'." Sect Leader Kang narrowed his eyes and chewed on this sentence for a while, trying to get some more taste from it.

After a while, Kang Dabao suddenly thought: "Then that Wu surnamed cultivator who was hanging out in Miaoyunzhai back then, could it be that he was also a descendant of some mountain barbarian great man like Taoist Wu, with the surname 'Wu' and mountain barbarian blood flowing in his body?"

Sect Leader Kang focused his gaze on the black bone and murmured in a low voice:

"Could it be that you want to rely on absorbing the blood of the mountain barbarians to break the restriction and soar into the sky? But shouldn't Taoist Wu's son also have the blood of the mountain barbarians? Could it be that because of his vicious mother's forcing him to grow too fast, Hei Gu is not interested in him at all?"

Master Kang is now much bolder than before. As long as Heigu likes, he has the guts to kill a few mountain barbarians to build his foundation and nourish him.

However, the mountain barbarians are almost extinct now. Not to mention the true foundation-building cultivators, even the pure-blooded mortals are almost gone. Where can I find enough high-level and sufficient mountain barbarian corpses? !

"Wait a minute," a very presumptuous thought suddenly occurred to the head of Kang Da, "A hundred years ago, the Liangyi Sect posted a notice in Xuanwei City seeking to purchase the bodies of barbarian monks."

Go to Liangyi Sect to look for it! ? This sudden ambition scared Kang Dabao himself, which was somewhat contrary to his previous cautious character.

It seems that such a high-level technique as "The True Explanation of the Ancient Original Body of Beiye Palace·Volume 1" is so tempting that Kang Dabao can temporarily forget the thousand-year power of Liangyi Sect.

After thinking about it, Kang Dabao sighed again. This matter might require long-term consideration.

After coming out of retreat, I saw the sunlight which I hadn’t seen for a long time, and it was time to step into the Guanshan Cave.
