Big man

Time flies.

Ten years passed in a flash.

For ordinary people, ten years is enough time for many things to happen and many changes to occur.But for a cultivator, ten years is really a flick of a finger.

Maoshan Qingxu Temple, in front of the Lingguan Hall, two men sit facing each other and play chess.

Three people watched from the sidelines, one man and two women.

The man sitting on the left side of the stone table was wearing a gray Taoist robe and three long beards. He was about forty or so years old.This Daoist priest is Xuanming Zhenjun who was reborn through the body.

Looking carefully, there is a trace of perseverance in the bones of the immortal demeanor.

Xuanming Zhenjun is a man of temperament.

Ten years have passed, and Zhenjun Xuanming has returned to the state of the middle stage of Jindan.

Sitting opposite True Monarch Xuanming was Xiao Fan.Ten years have left no trace on Xiao Fan's body, he is still so young and handsome, but with every gesture, he has become more calm and dignified, with a graceful bearing.

In ten years, Xiao Fan's cultivation has improved a lot, which is far from the comparison when he just stepped into the middle stage of Golden Core.According to this progress, it only takes a few more years to reach the peak state of Jindan in the middle stage and try to break through the bottleneck in the later stage.

Xuanming Zhenjun picked up a sunspot, but did not rush to land it on the chessboard. He looked Xiao Fan up and down, sighed and said: "Xiao Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for ten years. It's unbelievable that your skill is so advanced..."

The golden core period is no more than the foundation building period, let alone the Qi training period. The growth of mana and the improvement of realm are extremely slow.Ordinary practitioners can be called geniuses if they can successfully build a foundation before the age of 30; they can be called geniuses if they can condense golden pills before the age of 80;To put it simply, it takes at least 120 years to go from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, even for a genius.

Subdivided into Jindan period.Even according to the progress of the most genius, it will take at least 20 years to start from the condensed golden elixir and step into the middle stage of golden elixir; spend 40 years in the middle stage of golden elixir to break through the bottleneck and step into the late stage of golden elixir, generally speaking.It is about 40 years; Jindan reached Dacheng in the later stage, condensed Nascent Soul successfully, there is no such thing as 60 years, don't even think about it.

But now, Xiao Fan has only spent ten years, and he is about to step into the late stage of Golden Core.Although it still takes a few years to make certain preparations and break through the bottleneck in the later stage, this kind of progress is still unprecedented.

Thousands of years ago, Xuanming Zhenjun was able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, which proved that he was a genius in cultivation.Among the one hundred Jindan late-stage monks, perhaps only one or two have the chance to break through the bottleneck.The condensed Nascent Soul was successful.Others, most of them lingered in the late stage of Jindan for a lifetime, until they sat down and couldn't go any further.

True Monarch Xuanming has seen a lot of geniuses in cultivation.But it seems that no one can compare with Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Senior, are you making fun of me? I haven't seen you for ten years, and senior has already returned to the cultivation base of the middle stage of Golden Core. This is really gratifying."

Xuanming Zhenjun shook his head and said: "No, this is completely different. I am a Nascent Soul cultivator, and I am just recovering now. There is no bottleneck. You will encounter a real bottleneck. But you are different. This is the first time I have seen your cultivation progress like yours... But it is also strange. I checked your spirit body carefully, but it is the three spirits Root. Although it is mainly based on the earth attribute, the other wind spirit roots and fire spirit roots are all dark attributes, but the three spirit roots are the three spirit roots... This kind of spirit body is really not very good. What you cultivated The progress is faster than the pure spirit body, it is simply unbelievable..."

Xiao Fan smiled without saying a word, but was secretly surprised in his heart.

Don't say that Zhenjun Xuanming finds it incredible, even he himself finds it incomprehensible.Because he himself has also used the method of inner vision to check his spiritual roots.As Xuanming Zhenjun said, the result of his investigation is also the spirit body with three spiritual roots.This kind of spirit body is only slightly better than the spirit body with four spiritual roots.Generally speaking, it is the limit of a monk with three spiritual roots to be able to successfully build a foundation, and to cultivate to the fake alchemy state of great success in the late stage of foundation building throughout his life.There is no one in a hundred who breaks through the bottleneck of alchemy, and a great opportunity is needed.

But what surprised Xiao Fan was that the results of his own investigation, the attributes of the three spiritual roots were completely different from what Xuanming Zhenjun said. In addition to the earth spirit root, there were two other types: thunder spirit root and water spirit root. It's not the wind spirit root and fire spirit root that Zhenjun Xuanming said.

Investigating the details, Lei Linggen and Feng Linggen have some similarities, but Fire Lingen and Water Lingen are incompatible. It's not that the two can't appear on the same person at all, but that the two kinds of spirit roots are different. The attribute is simply the opposite. With Xuanming Zhenjun's insight and the power of the Yuanying stage monk's spiritual power, how can you get it wrong?

But Xiao Fan is also very sure that he is not mistaken.

This kind of situation where one of the two must be wrong should never happen to him and Xuanming Zhenjun.

It can only be said that Xiao Fan's spirit body is really weird.

"For example, this girl, she is a purely metallic spiritual body, her entry is so fast, the old man can accept it."

Xuanming Zhenjun changed the subject and looked at Chen Yang who was watching chess from the sidelines.

Chen Yang was dressed in sportswear, and she was still as youthful and charming as ten years ago. After taking Zhuyan Pill, her appearance basically didn't change much, but her chest seemed to be a bit higher, even if she was wearing loose sportswear, she still didn't feel the slightest change. Can't hide this peerless "shuang feng".Ten years ago, Chen Yang was still a rookie who had just stepped into the cultivation world. Under the supervision of Xiao Fan and Tan Xuan, he practiced the boring righteousness every day.Day after day, year after year, the rookie back then, now has spiritual power fluctuations that are equivalent to those of a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment. Compared with Tan Xuan's cultivation level in the late stage of foundation establishment, he is only one line behind.

Xin Lin, Yuan Qianqian, and Ji Qingsha, who had the foundation earlier and transformed high-strength internal energy into true essence, were only one step behind.

"Old man, you have won the prize."

Chen Yang smiled and said.

"I'm not flattering you, you little girl is indeed a genius. Even in the Somo world, pure spirit bodies were extremely rare. As soon as they appear, any sect or family will be protected as the most important training object, and the most important one will be protected. Good cultivation resources are given priority to them. In just ten years, you will be able to reach the level of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment. It seems that Xiaoyou has spent a lot of hard work and energy on you."

Chen Yang glanced at Xiao Fan, and a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.Among other things, the pills she needs for cultivation have never been in short supply.Although she is a pure spiritual body, if there is no continuous improvement of cultivation elixir provided by Xiao Fan, her advancement will definitely not be so fast. To be able to successfully build a foundation in ten years is already very remarkable.

Tan Xuan struck while the iron was hot, and said, "Master, why don't you give me some pointers?"

Back then, she, Xiao Fan, and Wen Tian had listened to the "lectures" given by Zhenjun Xuanming for more than a month, and they really benefited a lot.Wen Tian had already succeeded in attacking the Golden Core stage the year before last, and is currently doing meditation at Zhishui Temple to consolidate the realm of the Golden Core stage.Now if Chen Yang can get the personal guidance of Xuanming Zhenjun, it will be a great thing that can't be met.

Xuanming Zhenjun said straightforwardly: "Okay, as long as Xiaoyou has no objections, let the little girl stay here for a while, and I can give her some advice when I have time."

Thousands of years ago, although the Promise Sect and the Maoshan Sect belonged to the Righteous Alliance, their relationship was not so close.The current situation is very different from that of a thousand years ago, but there is no need to have too many sect views.

Xiao Fan laughed, and said: "Senior is joking, how can I have any objection? Anyone can wish for senior's personal advice...Susu, you should have time, right?"

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Is there time? Director Liu said something? Director Liu, I asked you for a month's leave. Did you approve it?"

The third person sitting here watching chess is the majestic Liu Zheng, the director of the Seven One Seven Office.In order to facilitate Chen Yang's practice, Tan Xuan had already transferred Chen Yang to the Qiyiqi office and was directly responsible to Liu Zheng.In the past ten years, basically no one has assigned work tasks to Chen Yang.

It was Xiao Fan who took her out to relax when I came to Qingxu to pay homage to Xuanming Zhenjun, so I came here to see Xiao Tian.

Over the past ten years, the situation of the Xiao family has also undergone great changes.

Mr. Xiao died of no illness five years ago, and he drove west.The Xiao family did not decline because of the old man's death. On the contrary, it achieved further development. Three years ago, Xiao Zhan was able to join the cabinet and became a member of the core leadership.The Wang family, who had been at odds with the old Xiao family, adopted an attitude of full cooperation with the Xiao family.

The reputation of the old Xiao family is at the height of its power.

As for Xiao Tian, ​​he had already been transferred from Hongshan Town, and his official career was smooth sailing. Not long ago, he was transferred to the city where Maoshan was located, and served as the top leader.

There is basically no need for Xiao Fan to worry about the mundane affairs.

Liu Zheng's expression was not so relaxed, he frowned slightly, and said: "Susu, I'm afraid we haven't been so leisurely during this time."

The current Liu Zheng, with fluctuating spiritual power, is different from others, and also has the cultivation base of the early stage of Jindan.His early stage of advanced Jindan was even a year earlier than Wentian.It's no wonder that there is a Nascent Soul cultivator who mentions it day and night, and the entry is naturally faster.

All eyes fell on his face.

Liu Zheng sat up straight, and said slowly: "Patriarch, Master Xiao, I recently received news that a large tomb was found in Mobei..."

"A large tomb?"

True Monarch Xuanming stroked his beard with disapproval.

"Is there anything weird about this big tomb?"

"I don't know if it's weird, but it is said that this tomb may be related to the Kamazu witch."

"What? It's impossible!"

Hearing this, even Zhenjun Xuanming was stunned, the hand stroking his beard stopped there, and his eyes widened.

Kamazu witch, the first generation ancestor witch of the Inunong tribe, a legendary witch god!
