Taishang Immortal Brigade

Chapter 221 New World

Elder Zhenlian said with a serious expression, "This involves an important secret of the sect, ordinary disciples have no right to know, but you are the disciple of the old man, and you are a titled Jindan Daoist, you are indeed entitled to know up.

Ten years ago, a few months after you left the sect, the patrolling disciples guarding the mountain gate found a dying immortal cultivator under the archway. Some senior people recognized this person as a person who was on the front line decades ago. The disciple of the war department who disappeared in the northern fog barrier, he did not cultivate to the golden core stage. It stands to reason that even if he did not encounter misfortune, his lifespan should have been exhausted long ago, but he was able to return to the sect alive, which is really amazing .

When he woke up, he immediately informed the Zongmen of his whereabouts these years. He went out on patrol that day and strayed into the depths of the fog barrier. He couldn't find the way back to the Zongmen. Immortal cultivation resources are abundant, even ordinary people can sit on a large number of spiritual stone mines and elixir fields, and there is no sect of immortal cultivation. In order to prove that what he said is true, he took out a top-quality spiritual stone that he had accumulated for many years, and cultivated it with him. The elixir that has long been extinct in the fairy world, the shaping three-section lotus root, and the rarity of top-quality spirit stones, I don’t need to say more. The shaping three-section lotus root is the supreme elixir that can regenerate limbs, because it is too rare and has long been extinct. In that world, the little foundation-establishing disciple was able to obtain these two treasures, and the sect's senior management was instantly shocked.

The resources in the world of cultivating immortals are becoming increasingly scarce, and the discovery of the new world is the best way to deal with the current predicament of the sect. The elders immediately decided to ask the disciple to draw a road map that he memorized, and then sent disciples to investigate, but according to The survivor confessed that the fog barrier was so thick that it took him decades to return to the sect. If it was because of this, the sect simply sent three Jindan masters, but these Jindan masters did not come back. The sect sent four Jindan Daoist again, so far, none of them have come back. This is not good news. The survivors who came back to report the news have already died of old age, and the sect has no way to ask. , the seven Jindan Daoist people who have not heard from each other also need to be found. "

Combined with his personal experience these days, Xia He immediately figured it out, "So that's it, master, no wonder you've been so busy recently, it turns out that it's because of the seven fellow disciples who disappeared in the fog barrier to the north."

The role of Jindan Zhenren to the sect is self-evident. Back then, Ma Tengkong was demonized, which caused the sect to lose more than ten Jindan Zhenren, and the entire army of twelve elders in the law enforcement hall was wiped out. , the morale of the front line was also affected, and Tumu Tianbao took the opportunity to storm and captured many places. Fortunately, the loss of the Law Enforcement Hall did not have much impact on the Zongmen's combat power. The Zongmen regrouped and lost a lot of ground after a while , and also transferred some people from the war department to re-establish the law enforcement hall, and tried their best to minimize the impact of Ma Tengkong's demonization.

This time when we explored the new world behind the fog barrier, seven Jindan masters disappeared. This is no less than another serious blow to the Sifang Xianzong. hit.

Elder Zhenlian said in a deep voice, "This matter is highly sealed and cannot be leaked out, otherwise it will cause panic among the disciples below. Up to now, the disciples below only know about the new world beyond the fog barrier, not The Zongmen lost seven Jindan real people at once. The Zongmen lost seven Jindan real people at once, which greatly damaged the deterrent power of the Sifang Xianzong. The loss is not small, and there is no news, everyone tacitly knows the other party's situation, and the balance of strength has not been broken."

Xia He said knowingly, "The disciple knows how to measure, so he must keep his mouth shut about this matter."

Elder Zhenlian continued, "Your future direction, the master has thought of three ways for you. One is to follow the way of government affairs like Xu Dafeng, the third disciple of Sunglasses. You have learned a lot from your teacher recently. I also see your talent, and I believe that you will achieve something in the future if you follow this path. The second is to take the path of promotion in the war department, and you can get fame immediately. As long as there is war, the promotion speed of the war department generals is very fast Hurry up, even if you transfer to the sect to take up an important position as an elder in the future, having military exploits is also a qualification.

It is also helpful for future promotions. Most of the elders in the sect are taking this path.

The third is to cultivate immortals freely and don't ask about the sect's affairs. Of course it's easy, but being a member of the sect and not serving the sect is like being unfilial to your parents. With the support of the power of the sect, there are many difficulties and obstacles on the road of cultivating immortality. "

In Xia He's mind, he secretly calculated that the first option would not work. He would deal with sect affairs all day long and be overwhelmed by cases. No one can match, but his cultivation is only in the early stage of Yuanying, and he is far inferior to his master, Elder Zhenlian. Xia He wants to become famous in the Sifang Xianzong, but this does not mean that he is willing to give up the pursuit of immortality and longevity, so this first He didn't choose one.

The third article of cultivating immortals in a leisurely way seems to be free and easy, without restraint, but it is actually the most undesirable thing. You must know how much contribution you will get in return. It is impossible for the sect to support you. Once you can't do things for the sect. It has no value, even if you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, there is no use value, and the sect will not offer you like an ancestor.

For example, Xiahe's master, Elder Zhenlian, and his Dao of Zhenlian, consume a huge amount of materials each time, which he can never collect by himself. Only the hundreds of thousands of disciples of Sifang Xianzong, who collect There is only one reason for all this. Elder Zhenlian is one of the seven people with the greatest strength in Sifang Xianzong. Zongmen's dedication is fully worthy of what he was asked for.

As for the second point, Xia He is a little moved. He knows the importance of tempering oneself to a cultivator. The cultivation base needs to be improved, the mind needs to be tempered, and the experience needs to be accumulated. The shortcomings also need to be discovered during the battle. The last time Xiahe fought Wen Tianshu, he gained a lot. It feels like he has gained more from practicing behind closed doors. However, Xia He knew that the War Department formed its own system outside the Zongmen, and that the connections inside were different from those within the Zongmen. Because after years of confronting the enemy on the front line, the Zongmen could only use remote control, and the control might be insufficient. Xia He was worried that he would go There, it is inevitable that some people will not understand themselves and provoke them.

"Master, the disciple was able to join the sect and was defeated like your sect. It all depends on the sect promoting the disciple in the dust. How can you be ungrateful and let the sect ignore you, so the third rule is absolutely not advisable."

Elder Zhenlian nodded approvingly, "Continue."

"As for the promotion of government affairs, this disciple can't accept it. After all, the sect is huge and consists of hundreds of thousands of fellow sects. Its daily operations are as complicated as the meridians in the human body. Unless it is an experienced elder, it is absolutely difficult to control it. The right situation, making the right choice, disciples are young and ignorant now, and they don't know much about the general situation of the sect, and it still takes a long time to accumulate, so it is unwise to join in now."

"That's the second one." Elder Zhenlian asked.

Xia He didn't answer, but asked respectfully, "I would like to ask Master, which road Master took back then."

Seeing that Xia He asked about himself, Elder Zhenlian suddenly became interested, "Since you asked, I will tell you as a teacher, neither of which is true. When I was young, I had no father, no mother, and no teacher. I practiced on my own. Later, the Zongmen expanded and formed the war department, and the old man joined in. In the war department, the old man made many friends. Mo Jing met at that time. Later, the old man practiced to the golden core stage, and his accumulated achievements rose to the sixth-rank general. Transferred to the original elders of Xifa, and then gradually cultivated to the Yuanying stage, while handling the sect's government affairs, and finally was elected as a member of the sect's elders."

Xia He understood, and said, "Master, from my disciple's point of view, the journey you have traveled is very long and steady. You laid the foundation when you were young, practiced hard, and improved your strength. Later, you joined the war department. One is to hone your cultivation and the other is to accumulate. As for your military exploits, once you have accumulated enough, you will turn to the government affairs, and you can finally achieve your current achievements, which is really admirable to my disciples."

Elder Zhenlian smiled, "So have you made your own decision?"

"Yes, master." Xia He nodded affirmatively, "I believe that I have achieved a small amount of cultivation, and if I continue to practice behind closed doors, I won't make too much progress. The only way to go out and practice is that I can serve the sect and do more Knowledge, if it can increase the experience of fighting the enemy and temper one's own cultivation strength, that would be even better."

Elder Zhenlian said approvingly, "You have your own opinion in your heart. Hone your golden elixir status, the golden elixir is [-]%, plump and perfect, if you want to reach the point where the true diamond is not bad, you need to be tempered by external forces constantly, as a teacher, you will not protect you just because you love you. I will not let it go in the sect, because the old man knows that no one's immortality is cultivated in the caves and valleys."

Xia He was deeply moved, and said to Elder Zhenlian, "Thank you, Master, I am very grateful."

Elder Zhenlian stared far ahead and said leisurely, "You shouldn't practice behind closed doors these few days. Something might happen. The sect will send someone to carry out an important mission. The future of this mission is unpredictable and dangerous. I don't know if you can Willing to participate."

"Disciple is willing." Xia He said.

"That's good." Elder Zhenlian said, "I will inform Mo Jing and report your name. I can't judge whether your decision is right or wrong, but now the center of gravity of the sect has begun to shift. The front line of Tumu Tianbao There is no longer a war, and there are fewer opportunities to make meritorious deeds. Going to the war department is just dawdling, without much achievement. Although this opportunity is dangerous, it is a great opportunity for you."
