From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 39 The Truth
"hold head high!"

The loud roar of a dragon rose and fell among the mountains and forests. A silver-white treasure fish as long as an arm was galloping through the mountains and forests like skipping stones on the water.

"Come on!"

"My fellow Daoists, my Li family has been waiting here for over half a month. Could you please give me, Li Hansong, some face? I would be very grateful..."

"What Li Hansong? You're already an Immortal Cultivator at such an old age. How much is your face worth? Get lost!"

"The Wu family of Red Crow City is here. Our family head is a cultivator who has reached the second stage of enlightenment!"

"..."

Twenty or thirty figures appeared from all around the Little Stone Lake, scrambling to chase the silver light madly.

Chen Xuan's luck was not very good, because the mountain fish was far away from him in the lake.

"boom!"

A young Qi practitioner who happened to be in the path of the treasure fish rushed over in ecstasy. The next moment, his two palms exploded, and his flesh and blood were blurred. He fell to the ground with a scream.

"A person who cultivates red qi, whose body is as fragile as paper, why would he join in the fun!"

Other Qi practitioners ran past him, and one sneered, "Third thoughts are as small as a fish's rice grains, and their intelligence is shallow. It makes no difference whether the red Qi burns or not!"

Chen Xuan was as fast as lightning, with white Qi surging in his body and a layer of golden-white light covering his body. He soon came from behind and became one of the pursuers in the front.

He was cautious by nature, and over the past few days, he had already gauged the strength of the Qi practitioners here.

There are only two people who are monks who have achieved the second level of enlightenment. One is the patriarch of the Wu family in Chiya City, who practices red Qi, and the other is an old Taoist priest in a Taoist temple, who practices black Qi of the water attribute.

"brush!"

After chasing for more than three miles, the old Taoist priest who was leading the way finally approached the treasure fish. He waved his sleeves and several chain-like streams of water flew out, binding the treasure fish in the air.

"hold head high!"

The treasure fish roared and tried to break free, but suddenly its body stiffened, and blood flowed out of its gem-like eyes. Not only that, but strands of blood also seeped out from between its scales.

Blood is also water!
"boom!"

Suddenly, a ball of fire rushed out from behind the old Taoist priest, knocking him away. An old man in his fifties or sixties had blazing eyes and flaming hands. It was the head of the Wu family. He shouted:

"You're an old Taoist priest who abstains from meat and sex, so why are you snatching the precious fish? I'll eat it!"

He practices red qi, so it is not easy for him to catch the treasure fish, but he can deal with the person who catches the treasure fish!

The old Taoist priest's back was charred black, and he grimaced in pain. He jumped up and cursed, "You know shit, about forbidding meat and sex? The Rain Master's Dao has no taboos. All the nuns in the Taoist temple are my Taoist companions!"

The old Taoist priest cursed loudly while desperately attacking the head of the Wu family.

"Master Taoist, stop it! The treasure fish has been snatched away!" The head of the Wu family roared, because he saw out of the corner of his eye that the treasure fish was suddenly snatched away by a strong and tall young man.

"It's like a mantis stalking a cicada, right? I won't fight for the treasure fish anymore, I just want to beat you up."

The old Taoist priest was so angry that his hair and beard stood up, and he even used magic tricks. The green water surged, and the shadow of a black-scaled python puffed out clouds and mist and rushed over.

I can ignore the opportunity, but if I was attacked by someone, I must take revenge! !

"How come you, a person who practices Water Virtue and Black Qi, have a temper even hotter than mine?" The head of the Wu family was overwhelmed and was forced to perform magic tricks to defend himself.

Water virtue and black qi.

What they pray for is "to command time and to ascend to godhood with talismans".

Black Qi monks like to plan before taking action and never do anything that is not beneficial.

But the old Taoist priest in front of him was obviously beyond the Wu family head's expectations. The old Taoist priest shouted: "Giving you a good beating will satisfy your wishes. That's what I want right now!"

Chen Xuan was stunned, but since these two second-time immortal monks were fighting, no one would pay attention to him.

"brush!"

Chen Xuan held the lifeless precious fish in his arms, ran away, and disappeared into the darkness in a few breaths.

The second time he set out on the path to immortality was when he was in urgent need of rare treasures.

……

...deep in the southern wilderness.

On a thousand-foot-high mountain, ripples appeared in a deep pool.

The snow-white old turtle was stunned. Its white jade bean-like eyes rolled around a few times and it slowly closed its big "Dragon Gate" mouth.

"The old man's rations were stolen again?"

He was in a bad mood because he had been robbed a few days ago.

The nest of treasure fish in Xiaoshi Lake was raised by him. It takes a long time for a treasure fish to mature, but recently they have been snatched away one after another.

The old white turtle stood up from the pool, and with cloudy eyes, it looked down at the rolling mountains in the distance under the night sky.

……

……

"Gurgling..."

Hot water was bubbling in the pot, cooking a mountain fish.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on the side, with golden tea leaves in his mouth, and had begun to practice the first chapter of the Huangliang Sutra.

The leaves of the Buddha Heart Tea Tree in the Hanging Temple can only increase strength by about 100 kilograms per leaf, but the advantage is that there are many of them. Chen Xuan has eaten nearly half of them in the past few days. He estimates that if he eats them all, he can increase his strength by about 3,000 kilograms in total.

"Tsk, it smells so good. Humans are different. They know how to enjoy life."

Suddenly, an old and kind voice sounded in Chen Xuan's ears, startling him.

Chen Xuan stood up from the ground instantly, with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

After killing Wang Chan, when he was cooking the precious fish, he faintly heard a "hum", and the voice was exactly the same as his.

The mountain fish in this small stone lake also has an owner!

An old, snow-white tortoise, with the Tai Chi Bagua pattern on its shell constantly moving, was half the height of a human. It stretched its neck to sniff the aroma of fish in the pot. Then, its head, like a piece of plasticine, turned and looked at Chen Xuan with a helpless look on its face.
"You little thief, you're addicted to stealing the old man's rations, aren't you?"

Chen Xuan was horrified because he had no idea that this old white turtle suddenly appeared in front of him.

This is terrifying. The old turtle's strength is far beyond imagination.

Chen Xuan swallowed his saliva and immediately said in a deep voice: "Senior, I don't want the treasure fish anymore. I'm leaving now."

He was decisive and believed that the old turtle was not something he could deal with at his level.

This is too absurd. Behind such an ordinary blood and flesh treasure medicine as the treasure fish in the outer area of the Southern Wilderness, there is actually such a terrifying monster hidden. It is unbelievable.

You know, recently countless Qi practitioners have flocked to the Southern Wilderness, and natural treasures are discovered every day, and the ghosts and monsters encountered are all at the Immortal Realm level.

No one would ever go into the truly dangerous depths of the Southern Wilderness to explore.

The old white turtle shook his head and said, "No, this is your chance... The precious fish that can be caught by the Qi practitioner has no right to enter my stomach."

"what?"

Chen Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect that this old turtle was so reasonable and didn't even take his offense seriously.

The old white turtle put his hands behind his back, like an old man who was about to die, and slowly circled around Chen Xuan, looking him up and down as if he was appreciating a delicious meal, which made Chen Xuan's scalp tingle.

Chen Xuan's face was solemn. He didn't understand what the old white turtle meant and asked, "Senior, what are you looking at?"

The old white turtle smiled and said, "You have good roots and your personality is very much to my liking. That's what I felt when I saw you last time."

Then he said something that made Chen Xuan feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

"Qingyazi from Qinglu Mountain was also present. You ruined his plans. I think he must have wanted to kill you..."

Qingyazi!
Chen Xuan was horrified, and then an uncontrollable chill surged into his heart, and an unexpected huge haze enveloped him.

"I've become a pawn!"

At this moment, this terrifying thought arose in his mind.
