Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 870: Suspicion Arose After Hearing Daoguo Again

The morning light breaks through the gap, and purple air comes from the east.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, but the green water barrier hanging above the Liu clan's land had already begun to ripple. The blue-gray skylight filtered through the translucent barrier, reflecting the thousands of weeping willows into flowing emeralds.

The Liu clan members gradually began to come and go, starting another busy day, making the clan land, which had been quiet all night, even more noisy.

Not long after, several rays of light suddenly approached from the horizon.

The Liu clan members noticed something and frowned and looked up.

It's still early, and since he's not a family member, who would come to visit at this time?
When the spiritual light approached, we saw that the leader was a young man in a green robe, standing with his hands behind his back and stepping on a spiritual crane. Under the rouge-colored glow of the sky, he was imposing and extremely eye-catching.

"This is... Zhang Xuanjing?"

Liu He's expression changed, and he thought to himself, "Why is he here?"

The Liu and Zhang clans had close contacts in the past, and were quite familiar with the bad-tempered Zhang Xuanjing, so they recognized him at a glance.

However, the relationship between the two tribes is now tense, and he has not seen Zhang Xuanjing for several months. Seeing the other party coming here rashly, he couldn't help but make a lot of guesses.

But before he could figure it out, he saw Zhang Hexuan and others behind Zhang Xuanjing. He was suddenly startled and quickly withdrew, preparing to go and inform the head of the family and others.

All the Jindan cultivators of the Zhang family have come together, what are they going to do?
But when he arrived at the clan hall, he found that the head of the family and others had already discovered something, so there was no need for him to do anything more.

The bearded man's face was gloomy. He looked at the Zhang clan members in the distance and muttered, "Why, are they going to start a war with us?"

Liu Hongyun frowned and said nothing. The man in green robe beside him replied, "Second brother, please don't talk nonsense. If the Zhang family really wanted to go to war with my Liu family, they wouldn't have come here with such fanfare."

After saying this, he turned his eyes and looked at Liu Hongyun and said, "Father, I think it's probably because of that three-attribute Dao mark..."

The bearded man was stunned. "Is it really that serious? Zhang's profound skills aren't related to thunder or fire. Even if he obtained it, it would only be exchanged for a few more spirit stones. Why is there such a big fuss?"

The man in green robe stopped talking, obviously thinking there must be another reason.

There was a moment of silence in the field, but how long could it last?

Zhang Xuanjing was already shouting at the clan gate, were they still going to pretend not to hear?
"Father……"

Liu Hongyun regained his composure and took the lead, saying, "Don't overthink it. My Liu family has never been afraid of the Zhang family."

Because of the mysterious guest ancestor, the Liu clan members subconsciously did not want to break off relations with the Zhang clan, and their actions and thoughts were inevitably restricted.

The bearded man and the others were cheered up, and suddenly realized: "That's right, now the Zhang family has the ancestor Zhao Xinjing, and our Liu family also has a Yuanying senior temporarily living in the clan land. If they really fight over the Dao Mark, who will win and who will lose is still uncertain!"

Thinking of this, the group also left the clan territory in a mighty manner, flying in the air to pay their respects from afar.

The head of the Zhang family and others did not become arrogant. They remained polite and returned the gifts one by one.

However, what made the Liu family frown slightly was that Zhang Xuanjing still stood with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant, as if he didn't take them seriously at all.

How dare a young person who has just established his foundation do this?

The bearded man was hot-tempered and was about to yell when he was stopped by the man in green robe.

"Brother, why are you stopping me..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked in the direction the man pointed, and saw a small token hanging from Zhang Xuanjing's waist, resembling jade or wood. It had two tide patterns on it, surrounding the four ancient seal characters "碧落潮生" (Blue Sky Falls, Tide Rising)...

"Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion!"

Everyone in the Liu family felt a pang of surprise. Although they were confined to the remote area of ​​Jiangdu Prefecture in Danshui County, as people from Qingzhou, how could they not know the title of Qingzhou's number one Taoist sect?
Even since they were young, they have been hearing rumors about the "Bi Luo Chao Sheng Pavilion".

The most recent one was about a rare genius in the pavilion who successfully manifested his own Dao Fruit in the realm of Divine Transformation, and from then on, his Dao was directly aimed at the True Immortal...

The realm of true immortals is a world apart from theirs, how far away is it?

Just like "Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion", although they are both located in Qingzhou, they are not comparable to them at all.

But now, the Zhang family member they had always been familiar with actually brought the token of "Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion"...

"What exactly is going on!"

The eyes of the Liu family members flickered, and they were obviously extremely puzzled.

If they said that Zhang Xuanjing was chosen by the "Bi Luo Chao Sheng Pavilion" because of his talent, they would not believe it at all.

But the facts are before us. Apart from this, what else is so special about Zhang that she was noticed by "Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion"?
Liu Hongyun's heart suddenly trembled. Could it be that mysterious guest ancestor...

He felt something was amiss. After taking a deep look at Zhang Xuanjing, he turned to Zhang Hexuan and the others and said, "Daoist Zhang, why did you suddenly come here? I wonder what brings you here?"

The Zhang family head smiled faintly and replied frankly, "Of course it's still about that lightning and fire dual-attribute Dao Mark. Senior Deng has sent people to ask about it several times, and we can't go against your wishes."

Liu Hongyun remained expressionless and glanced at Zhang Hexuan, "But I have made it clear before. That Dao Mark is now in Senior Chen's hands, and it no longer belongs to my Liu family."

The Zhang family's head froze in thought, and he groaned, "Does the Liu family really want to make things difficult for Senior Deng?"

"Why would Patriarch Zhang think this way?"

Seeing his elders being humiliated, Zhang Xuanjing could no longer bear to watch and suddenly said:

"Master Liu, we won't make it difficult for you. Since you said it was sold to that Senior Chen, why not take me there to meet him? I have my own way of getting Senior Chen to give up his Dao Mark."

Liu Hongyun's expression suddenly darkened: "How dare a mere junior like you say such arrogant things!"

Zhang Xuanjing showed no fear at all. He sneered and said, "Please let Patriarch Liu know that I have now become a disciple of the Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion. If you still regard me as a junior, you are truly short-sighted."

Before Liu Hongyun could react, the bearded man could no longer hold back. He suddenly stepped forward, and a loud bang was heard in the air. The green light in his hand gathered and condensed into a slender iron whip like a willow branch, which he swung forward with all his strength!
"As a descendant of the Zhang family, you are so ignorant of your own limitations. Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Zhang family master."

He was not a stupid person. He never mentioned anything about "Bi Luo Chao Sheng Pavilion" and only defined the other party as a descendant of the Zhang family.

The long whip rustled in the wind and was about to hit Zhang Xuanjing's face.

Zhang Hexuan snorted coldly: "Why do I, a descendant of the Zhang family, need you to teach me a lesson?"

He was about to make a move, but saw that Zhang Xuanjing had already grasped the token on his waist in his hand, and shook it slightly towards the whip shadow. A phantom of a green wooden dragon rushed out, smashing the whip shadow without stopping, and pounced on the person holding the whip with its fangs and claws.

The bearded man was startled and hurriedly mobilized his golden elixir power to resist. When the two came into contact, he groaned and staggered backward. It was obvious that he was no match for the wooden dragon's phantom.

"What is this method?"

The Liu family members exclaimed one after another, and their hearts became heavier.
Zhang Xuanjing laughed heartily and said, "How could you possibly imagine the wonderful methods of our sect?"

In fact, the phantom of the green wooden dragon was not the work of the "Bi Luo Chao Sheng Pavilion", but rather a wisp of soul from the immortal senior's natal spirit beast that was temporarily lent to him.

The original intention was for him to use it when he encountered danger, but he didn't expect that he would use it first in order to show off his prowess in front of others...

Although the shadow was a waste, Zhang Xuanjing felt it was worth it when he saw the shocked looks from the Liu family and his elders. He swung his sleeves and said proudly,

"I've made my point very clear. If you continue to try to stop me, I'll think you're deliberately trying to make things difficult for my 'Bi Luo Chao Sheng Pavilion'..."

It was similar to what the Zhang family patriarch said earlier, except that the name "Senior Deng" was replaced by "Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion".

The result would be completely different. If it was only the guest official named Deng, Liu Hongyun would never retreat.

But if it involved the Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion, he would inevitably have to think more. After all, in his heart, the number one Taoist sect in Qingzhou was too huge, and even Senior Chen would not want to offend it... Thinking of this, Liu Hongyun said nothing more, waved his hand to open the passage of the formation, turned around and entered first.

The green-robed man and the others sighed secretly and had no choice but to turn around and follow.

Seeing this, everyone in the Zhang family smiled silently, while Zhang Xuanjing was even more direct, shouting, "It would have been great if this had happened earlier. It would have saved us both a lot of effort..."

The bearded man was shaking with anger, but his realm was not enough to allow him to do as he wished. He could only keep his head down and keep praying silently in his heart, hoping that Senior Chen could teach this arrogant young man a lesson.

Although he knew the chances were slim...

The sky brightened and willow catkins flew.

When Liu Hongyun led the six Zhang clan members to the front of the courtyard, Chen Mu was brewing the third cup of tea.

A half-volume of "Qingyuanzi's Tide-Watching Tour" lay horizontally on the bluestone table. The pages rustled as the wind blew, stirring up the thin smoke rising from the tea in the celadon cup.

For some reason, everyone slowed down their pace, as if they didn't dare to disturb the person in front of them.

Zhang Xuanjing was also busy. Looking at Chen Mu with loose hair and plain white robe, he suddenly felt as if he was meeting the true master of his sect.

He shook his head violently, and chuckled to himself, "Is it because I've been meeting too many senior members of my sect recently? How can the True Lord Dao be compared to the person before me?"

He walked out of the formation with his head held high, bowed to himself, and said, "I guess this is Senior Chen?"

Chen Mu ignored him, his hand holding the kettle remained motionless, and the amber tea soup drew a curved silver line, just filling another empty cup.

Zhang Xuanjing frowned, snorted, and raised the token on his waist to show it to Chen Mu: "I am a disciple of the 'Bi Luo Chao Sheng Pavilion'. May I know where the immortal mountain is, senior?"

Chen Mu finally raised his eyes, his pupils reflecting the broken gold filtered by the willow shade, which was three times clearer than the sect token in the other party's hand.

"The blue sky and the rising tide..."

He murmured, his mind inexplicable.

After reading many books such as Qingzhou Fengwuzhi, he naturally saw the name of this Taoist school many times. It seemed that this Taoist school had dominated Qingzhou since 60,000 to 70,000 years ago and had remained so until now.

What attracted his attention even more was that this Taoist tradition had a fundamental inheritance that led directly to the True Immortal. In the past sixty to seventy thousand years, no less than ten True Immortals had emerged.

But the key point is here. This boy has such a powerful force behind him that dominates the entire state, but it is inconsistent with his previous thoughts.

From his original intention, if the guest ancestor of the Zhang family had no background, he could get a lot of information about this realm from him.

But now he is involved with the "Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion"...

If we attract the True Lord Huashen and end up making things worse, not only failing to get any information from this world, but instead being discovered to be from another world, what will be the result?
He was not sure about the attitude of the cultivators in this world towards people from other worlds, and he couldn't help but ask himself if he was willing to take the risk...

Seeing him mutter something and then frown, Zhang Xuanjing sneered inwardly and said aloud, "To be honest, I came here this time because of that dual-attribute Dao Mark. I heard from Patriarch Liu that it was promised to you, Senior. Is this true?"

Chen Mu had long heard Liu Hongyun speak of the Dao Mark, so he wasn't surprised by his dual-attribute theory. He nodded and said, "The Dao Mark is indeed in my hands."

"Very good!"

Zhang Xuanjing felt more confident and said with a smile, "Since you are at the Nascent Soul stage, you don't really need that third-order Dao Mark. I wonder if you would be willing to give it up?"

After saying this, he did not forget to bring up his master's sect and added, "If Senior agrees, I, Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion, will definitely treat you as a guest of honor!"

Hearing this, Chen Mu smiled playfully and took a sip of his teacup: "How can a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator represent such a great Dao sect?"

Zhang Xuanjing's expression suddenly became embarrassed. How could he have the qualifications to represent his master? What he said just now was just self-boasting.

"Although I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage, I was mentored by Senior Changsheng, so naturally I have a say..."

His voice became lower and lower, but only for a moment, his eyes brightened, and he said:
"I'd like to inform you, Senior, that Senior Changsheng, who brought me in, is a disciple of Daoist Lord Qingqiong. He has now reached the Perfect Nascent Soul stage, and his true nature is clear. More importantly, Senior Changsheng has a faint idea of ​​condensing Dao Fruit, and perhaps when he achieves True Lord status, he will be able to manifest it in one fell swoop!"

"I don't think Senior Chen has ever seen such a talent as this, has he?"

At the end of his speech, he was very complacent, as if the senior Changsheng he was talking about was himself.

"Daoguo?"

Chen Mu's heart moved slightly. The Taixuan Realm also has the concept of Dao Fruit, which is divided into three methods: upper, middle and lower. It is one of the symbols of the True Lord Huashen. I wonder if it can be consistent with the Dao Fruit mentioned by this boy?
If they are consistent, why do we listen to their meaning, as if the cultivators in this world can achieve the state of transformation into a spirit even if they do not achieve the fruit of the Tao?

"Dao Mark, Dao Fruit, are there any connections between the two?"

"It seems that this world is really different from the Taixuan World..."

Chen Mu pondered for a moment, and suddenly he had more thoughts about luring cultivators of the same level to come and ask them some questions.

He waved his sleeves, and a specially made jade pot containing three Dao marks appeared on the bluestone table.

"I can give it to you, but you must exchange it for a spiritual object of equal value."

Zhang Xuanjing laughed, what's the difficulty?

He first solemnly put the sect token back to his waist, and then turned around to look at his father. The meaning was obvious: hurry up and point out the spirit stone!
Poor Zhang family head, a real person in the late Jindan stage, was actually mobilized by his youngest son at a glance.

But he was also happy about it, thinking that Xuan Jing was different after becoming a disciple of "Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion". Now, wasn't he making a Yuanying senior give in?

In the past, who would have imagined that the Zhang family would be as prosperous as it is today?
He strode forward, took out a number of spirit stones, and said with a smile, "Senior Chen, these spirit stones are priced the same as on the market. Would you like to order some?"

Chen Mu smiled faintly: "Master Zhang, it is better to see the Dao Mark clearly first."

The Zhang family's head was startled and subconsciously looked into the jade pot. His expression suddenly changed and he cried out, "Three...three Dao marks?"

"what?"

Zhang Xuanjing quickly approached, took a closer look, and his expression was immediately ecstatic: "If I can give this to Senior Brother Liu..."

"Father, please give me more spirit stones!"

Unexpectedly, the Zhang family's head suddenly looked bitter. He didn't dare to look into his youngest son's eyes and replied in a muffled voice: "Xuan Jing, the clan's savings have been reduced to very little in order to help you run the sect. Even if we give it all, I'm afraid it won't be enough to buy three Dao Marks..."

Zhang Xuanjing looked unhappy, but he was too lazy to complain in front of Dao Hen. He glanced at Chen Mu and thought to himself:
"This person only has the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation, but has never spoken of his Dao lineage. I think he is a cultivator from a small sect. He would never dare to offend my 'Bi Luo Chao Sheng Pavilion', otherwise why would he give up this rare Dao Mark?"

He was determined in his heart, and his tone became more casual. "Senior Chen, you've heard what my father said. Why don't you give me this item first for the sake of my 'Bi Luo Chao Sheng Pavilion'? I will slowly repay you with the spirit stones later. What do you think?"

The words sound nice, but he has the intention of defaulting on his debt.

According to what he thought, even if Chen Mu was unhappy, he would still agree to it, and it would be nothing more than asking for more ready-made things.

But to his surprise, Chen Mu suddenly smiled, his eyes gradually colder: "Since there is nothing corresponding, why would you ask me to give it up?"

"Get out!"

A clear shout was heard, and the Zhang family members suddenly felt a gust of wind coming. Their eyes became dizzy, and their bodies flew backwards uncontrollably.

When he saw the light again, he realized that he had already flown out of the Liu family compound...
