Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 324: Guanshan Cave Mansion
Although Guanshan Cave is just a Jindan villa, its owner, Guanyu Shangxiu, is well-known among the cultivators in the nearby states.

When the rebellion first broke out, although the Liangyi Sect, the landowner, sat back and watched with dirty intentions, allowing the mountain barbarians to wreak havoc on the people, the cultivators in various states did not all sit idly by and wait for death.

Before the former Shannan Dao governor Shen Lingfeng brought the imperial guards to quell the rebellion, Guanyu Shangxiu, with his status as a Jindan master and a casual cultivator, became the leader of the rebel army in several nearby states.

Even a loyal and righteous man like Yin Shangong, when he first joined the army, joined the camp of Guanyu Shangxiu.

Even after Du Guan Shen Lingfeng came to Yunjiaozhou and joined the rebel army, Shang Xiu Guanyu did not have the slightest intention of clinging to power and directly handed over the command tent to Du Guan Shen.

After he went out to fight, he guarded the key points with the help of the Green Crocodile Taoist soldiers. He fought three battles against the King of Shanrong without being defeated, which greatly preserved the vitality of Yunjiaozhou and brought benefit to all people.

But after the chaos, Guanyu Shangxiu left Shannan Road.

Some people said that he was hated by the Liangyi Sect; others said that Guanyu Shangxiu actually had no good feelings towards the Xian Dynasty and was even more dissatisfied with the Xian Dynasty's imperial guards stationed in Yunjiao Province, so he was hated by Shen Lingfeng and forced to leave his hometown.

But no matter what, his great achievements in Yunjiao Province cannot be false. Generally speaking, no one would touch the Beppu he left behind.

However, about a hundred years ago, a cultivator brought news from outside the Shannan Road, saying that he had seen with his own eyes the cultivator Guanyu being swallowed by a fourth-level monster and died. Only then were the cave and several villas he left behind in the Shannan Road gradually found and opened.

Of course, the first to take action were those Jindan cultivators. They had no sense of awe and no sense of shame at all, and naturally wanted to grab the biggest benefit.

You must know that in the past, Guanyu Shangxiu was not only an extremely rare independent cultivator in Shannan Dao, but he also had high attainments in the arts of weapons and formations, both of which had reached the third level.

Therefore, although Guanyu Shangxiu was a casual cultivator, he could be considered wealthy among his peers in the Jindan stage. The cave he left behind was difficult for a true cultivator to get involved in, not to mention for a true cultivator to build a foundation, even for an ordinary fake cultivator to enter.

However, the rewards from these golden elixirs were not as bountiful as they had imagined.

However, they could understand it. Guanyu Shangxiu was just a casual cultivator, alone, and was forced to leave his hometown. It would be a rare thing if he could leave much of his wealth in the cave.

However, although most of the caves have been looted by the Jindan cultivators, there are still many foundation-building and fake elixir cultivators who are happy to look for some leftovers.

But more than a hundred years have passed, and there are very few people who can still reap the rewards.

But among the villas left by Guanyu Shangxiu, only Guanshan Cave was a surprise.

This villa seemed to be connected by Guanyu Shangxiu into a mustard seed space, floating around. If you don't hold the token, it will be difficult to find the golden elixir. Even if you find the golden elixir, it will be difficult to break the formation by force.

At most times, there were even six senior cultivators of different sects gathered outside the formation, but they were still unable to enter. In this way, the Beppu formation set up by Senior Cultivator Guanyu in Guanshan Cave seemed to be the proudest work of his life.

At that time, the Jindan monks figured out some tricks on their own and discovered that only when the seven scattered Haoyue tokens were gathered and all held by the foundation-building monks and gathered at the designated time, the great formation of the Guanshan Cave would be opened.

What surprised all the Jindan was that after the formation was activated, they were unable to enter. Not only the Jindan, but also the fake dan could not enter. Only cultivators below the foundation building stage could enter according to the number of twice the Haoyue tokens.

This was obviously far beyond the means of Guanyu Shangxiu, a third-rank superior formation master. After the other Shangxiu were puzzled, they stopped thinking about it and just selected the best ones to explore the cave, and then searched for spiritual objects after they came out.

However, the gains of the younger generations disappointed them greatly. Although the things they brought out were of high quality, they were useless for the golden elixir.

The cave was opened once every five rounds, and it was the same every time.

The biggest gain among all the cultivators who entered the cave to explore was when a true foundation-building cultivator brought out a golden elixir with slightly less efficacy, and a piece of ivy, a longevity elixir that was only useful for foundation-building and Qi-training stages.

These two items are naturally precious, but they are not of much use to these Jindan cultivators themselves.

What they were thinking about were the third-tier magic weapons and high-tier formation plates forged by Master Guanyu, but they had never appeared.

Therefore, the Jindan masters of Shannan Road found this place boring and gradually lost interest in Guanshan Cave. Later, this Jindan Villa gradually became a battlefield for the top foundation-building masters from the nearby states, and the seven Haoyue tokens were also transferred several times and scattered to various places.

And this year, all the monks holding the Haoyue Token will know that the Guanshan Cave will appear in Puzhou.

——Outside a small Qi training sect in Puzhou, the moon is like a silver plate and the water is clear and turbulent.

Several men and women dressed differently gathered together, including the Taoist priest in black shoes, Kang Dabao and Jiang Qing.

The breeze in the forest brought a slight fishy smell. A sturdy middle-aged monk turned his head to look at the sect, stared at Yuan Feng and his sister, and said softly: "Your Yuan family is really hard to change your character, and you are too murderous."

The flying sword on Yuan Feng's back was still stained with blood. He was about to retort after hearing the scolding, but then he seemed to have thought of something.

After taking a look at the female cultivator standing behind him, Yuan Xiyue, he put on a smiling face again, bowed to Yue Jing and said, "Deacon Yue is right, but this is a serious matter, so we'd better be careful."

"The sixteenth son of the Yuan family is also thinking about the bigger picture. If Elder Yue feels sorry for it, he can just send some disciples to treat the mortals who are settled here kindly." A skinny old man with chicken skin and white hair said with a smile.

"Mr. Lang is kind-hearted." Yue Lan snorted coldly and said no more.

Yuan Feng is not so bad. The people of Jingnan Yuan family spread the rumor that he had been practicing Jindan for more than half a century, and therefore was the Jindan seed of Jingnan Yuan family.

Yue Lan naturally scoffed at this statement. Just looking at the former's extravagant air, Yue Lan could almost conclude that this guy must have no hope in the Taoist path, so he did not take him seriously.

But this old man Lang Yi is no simple person. Although he is just an ordinary casual cultivator, he is also a ruthless character who escaped unscathed from a fake elixir cultivator alone sixty years ago.

He is probably over two hundred years old now, but he still holds the title of the number one cultivator in Hong County. Even an ordinary fake cultivator would not want to compete with him.

You must know that people become smarter as they get older, and things become weirder as they get older. Who knows how many powerful tricks these old masters who have been building their foundation for more than a hundred years have hidden in their hands.

Seeing Yue Lan ignoring him with an air of arrogance, Yuan Feng also sneered in his heart. The Yue family is the most bullying and afraid of the strong. If his ancestor was here, no matter how many Qi cultivators and mortals died, Yue Lan would just remain silent.

As for relocating these inferior bloodline minor cultivators? How many spirit stones would that cost? How could you, Yue Laowu, be willing to do that, even if you are so righteous? It would be more cost-effective to let them be cultivated by evil spirits and devoured by monsters.

Even though you are saying nice things now, if drawing your sword and killing someone can make the beautiful woman beside you smile, I'm afraid you, a hypocrite, won't even blink an eye.

Hehe, speaking of which, Chu Yanran is so pretty that even I would be happy to be her slave for a few days.

Bah, you are still acting like the descendant of the founder of the Liangyi Sect? Yue Jing is only focused on sending women to Kuang Liuting's house. How can you see any heroic spirit in him?

You, a lonely ghost who is regarded as an abandoned child by the head of the Yue family, actually have the courage to speak to me like this. After we enter the cave, I will show you my real skills.

Madam Qi, who had been silent all this time, spoke lightly. She had no intention of speaking up to defend this poor little sect, and now was not the time to settle the dirty deeds with the Yuan family.

She opened her mouth slightly and said softly, "Puzhou is the territory of the Shishan Sect, and we cannot delay any longer. Fellow Taoists, please bring out your mirrors as soon as possible to avoid attracting others. You all know who the Great Elder of the Shishan Sect is, so there is no need for me to say more."

"Madam Qi is right." When Yuan Feng heard Chu Yanran speak, he first looked at her with interest, until he heard the words "Grand Elder of Shishan Sect", his eyes lit up, and then he responded with a smile.

The skinny old man also shook his head and agreed repeatedly.

"Yanran, do you really want to take Qi Buxiu in? This is a dangerous place." Yue Lan certainly had no objection to the beauty's words. He gave a kind reminder, but the jealousy in his eyes was almost hard to conceal.

"I will take care of my husband, so don't worry about it, Brother Yue." Madam Qi said coldly, unable to hide her disgust in her beautiful eyes. Qi Buxiu had a calm expression, letting the various eyes of the foundation builders cast on him, standing behind Madam Qi without saying a word. To be fair, this kind of Qi cultivation skill can also be regarded as a small skill that can be put on the stage.

Qi Buxiu's old and thin appearance was not very interesting. Seeing that the four people including the Heilu Taoist had not spoken for a long time, Lang Yi on the opposite side cast his eyes over to him.

He didn't dare to look at the Taoist Black Shoes for too long, but he had some impression of the other three.

The first to bear the brunt was the head of the Kang family. In order to curry favor with Fei Nan'an, he agreed to the latter's letting him practice with his horse bones. However, the benefits he had been waiting for for a long time had not yet arrived, and he could hardly be said to have done his best to take care of this ordinary son-in-law of the Fei family.

Originally, it was thought that Kang Dabao practiced the Wood Method and obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill from the Fei family. Even if he was lucky, he could only achieve the Green Leaf Foundation which was indistinguishable from the others. However, no one expected that after that, Kang Dabao actually achieved the Ice Leaf Foundation.

Moreover, after just a few years, he was able to hold off a group of Hongyi Sect's foundation-building practitioners in the Jackdaw Mountains without being at a disadvantage.

What's even more horrifying is that regardless of whether Kuang Liuting had any tricks up his sleeve on him, the fake Dan Master Xue Wu, who was finally recruited by Hongyi Sect, actually died at the hands of Kang Dabao.

During this trip to visit the cave, Fernando greeted me again and asked me to take good care of him, which showed that he valued me.

Lang Yi boasted that he was not without the ability to judge people, but he had to admit that he had misjudged Kang Dabao. If he had known this earlier, he would have made more friends with him.

This old cultivator was very experienced and knew that after what he had experienced, Master Kang was now worth a lot more money, and he began to feel a little regretful.

As for Jiang Qing, there is no need to say more. Although Hong County and Pingrong County are quite far apart, Lang Yi has long heard of this outstanding young man in the state.

Seeing him now, he is indeed worthy of his reputation. As for his sword intention, according to Lang Yi's experience of more than 200 years of practice, there are only a few people who can beat him. And among those people, almost all of them are fake golden elixirs.

I heard that Jiang Qingdao Ji and Kang Dabao were both Bingye, but this one was more than ten years younger, and was only in his forties. Even though he lost an arm, his future was still bright. As Lang Yi watched, a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.

The other late foundation building cultivator who was traveling with Taoist Black Shoes was rather unremarkable.

Xu Liuxian, together with a few homeless and jobless vagrants, practiced in Hong County and called themselves "Hanshan Four Friends". He was good at Mingyang Fire Method and had some skills, but that was all.

I don’t know when he became so familiar with Chong Mingzong and his entourage. It can be considered as his luck.

Lang Yi had no ill will towards Kang Dabao and his group, so he did not hide his gaze. The Taoist Heilius closed his eyes and ignored them, but Sect Leader Kang Da greeted them with the courtesy of a junior.

After all, Kang Dabao learned his wood magic at Heling Mountain. Although Lang Yi only taught him to earn a favor from Sima Fei, and could not be said to have done Kang Dabao a favor, but Sect Leader Kang was a respectable man and he always had to put in enough effort to show his respect.

Some time ago, I heard that Lang Yi failed to find a way to obtain fake elixirs from the provincial government. From this point of view, this old cultivator came here most likely to earn some resources for making fake elixirs.

You need to be extra careful when you enter the cave. You must not mess with this monk who is about to die of old age and has great abilities.

If there really was some conflict of interest with him, and this kind of person was forced to be ruthless, not to mention the Earl of Nan'an and Fei Sima, even if Emperor David was moved here, he would not recognize him.

There were many people in the field, and it was not only the old cultivator who was looking at him. There were two women behind Yuan Feng who were also staring at him closely.

One of them had a very high level of cultivation and wore a jeweled crown on his head. He must be Yuan Xiyue, who practiced the way of the Buddha Mother Mingfei.

The female cultivator's eyes were very cold, but after they fell on him, they did not move away for a long time.

The head of the Kang family would not think that he had won the admiration of the daughter of the Yuan family. He thought to himself, "Is it true as Yan Qingwei said? Has this woman already known about Feng Wan?"

That is a chance to form an elixir and achieve enlightenment, so it is obvious that she would be reluctant to let it go.

He could understand Yuan Xiyue, but what made Master Kang feel strange was that the other female cultivator next to Yuan Xiyue, who was wearing a veil on her head and had a graceful figure in blue, was also staring at him.

The female cultivator Yan Qingwei couldn't block the view of Master Kang even with her high-level veil, so the female cultivator in blue was even worse. Kang Dabao could see her true appearance, which was even better than Yuan Xiyue's. She was probably not much different from Fei Shuhe.

Master Kang felt that her face was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. His hair stood on end when he was stared at by this female cultivator.

Many people have died at his hands over the years. Maybe one of them is the "dream lover" of someone else? The plot of widow's revenge is played out every few years in Shannan Road. It is nothing new. You need to be careful.

Among the five forces in total, Chongmingzong and Master Qi and his wife, who seem to be relatively weak, are allies, and it is hard to say whether Lang Yi is an enemy or a friend.

As for the Jingnan Yuan family, the conflict between Yuan Xiyue and Chongming Sect is irreconcilable, the blue-clothed female cultivator is also eyeing Kang Dabao, and there is also a bit of self-importance. Yan Qingwei's intelligence said that he has the potential to become a golden elixir, and is not much inferior to the black shoe Taoist.
Kang Dabao was not optimistic. He estimated that after the Yuan family entered the Guanshan Cave, they would most likely have to fight with Emperor Chongming.

There was also Yue Lan across from him. He had met this elder of the Liangyi Sect and the direct descendant of the Yue family several times before, but he did not expect to meet him here. Judging from what he saw now, this guy must be the one who brought Madam Qi to this world.

From this perspective, the situation of the two allied families is not good at all.
Yue Lan was choked by Madam Qi, his expression froze slightly, and he said nothing. He just took out a token, bent his fingers and tapped it lightly, and the outer shell of the token was gently pushed open, revealing a broken silver mirror hidden inside.

The rest of the people followed closely until Madam Qi finally took action and pieced the silver mirror together.

The smooth silver mirror instantly emitted fluorescence, and several cracks were slowly filled with silver liquid. When the silver liquid completely disappeared, the silver light of the mirror flashed.

The bright full moon seemed to have received a signal. A beam of moonlight was drawn down and projected onto the mirror surface, which suddenly shone brightly.

Soon, it seemed as if two fish were swimming in the water, chasing each other, faster and faster, until they formed a vortex, showing yin and yang colors.

This was the first time Kang Dabao had seen such a strange sight and he admired it inwardly; Jiang Qing and Xu Liuxian also could not hide their surprise in their eyes; even the Taoist priest in black shoes, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, as if thinking about something.

"Then I will explore the way for you fellow Taoists first." Lang Yi's face was ruddy, with a rare look of excitement on his face.

At this moment, he didn't remember any of the instructions or plans. He just stared at the vortex that was about to form with a pair of scarlet eyes. Without any hesitation, a whirlwind arose under his feet in just a moment and he fell into it steadily.

"Let's go!" Madam Qi first glanced at the Taoist in black shoes who had not uttered a word from beginning to end, and then she pulled Qi Buxiu and jumped into the vortex together.

"Yanran, wait for me." Yue Lan watched the Qi couple disappear, and quickly glanced at the black-shoe Taoist before hurriedly following them.

Yuan Feng didn't look anxious, and he didn't talk to Kang Dabao and the others who were still present. He just laughed loudly, spread his cloak, summoned a cloud of air, and was about to take the two women into the vortex and fall into the mirror.

Kang Dabao hadn't found anything unusual at first, but the female cultivator from Mi Li was the last of the three. Before she came in for the appraisal, a corner of her inner shirt was revealed by the wind under her royal blue fairy robe.

Sect Leader Kang could see clearly that a six-leaf green lotus seal with an elegant and refined appearance was now on top of it, which shocked him so much that his eyes fixed on it! His mind suddenly became clear!
"Jingnan Yuan Family. I remember it! It's her!"
