Chapter 320: Stealing Treasure
Three days later, Bi Huanqiu left with Jiang Xingchi.
He went without a sound, and he didn't know where he went, let alone who was accompanying him.
Anyway, judging from this posture, it doesn't look like he is just dealing with an errand, but he is really going to capture Xie Qingxuan.
Since there was no Nascent Soul to take care of him, Lin Bai didn't know what to do, so he dragged Cheng Yuanli to find Wu Muqian.
After chatting for a long time, Wu Muqian couldn't come up with a useful sentence. He just said that Shouting Pavilion was the lord of the East China Sea, and said that those who are interested should come to Shouting Pavilion to seek enlightenment.
After farting, Lin Bai found Yang Shu's cave and injected several spiritual powers into it.
"I'm in seclusion!" Yang Shu reluctantly opened the door, "I'm about to form an elixir before my eyes!"
"Based on your estimate, how long will it take?" Lin Bai asked.
Now that Jiang Xingchi was out and left to his own devices when parting, Lin Bai always felt that something was wrong and didn't want Yang Shu to stay here for a long time.
"Half a year!" Yang Shu was full of confidence.
"Tell the truth." Lin Bai didn't believe it.
"Only one or two years!" Yang Shu changed his mind.
After receiving the accurate information, Lin Bai paid no attention to it and returned to Dihuo Cave Mansion.
The colorless jade cicada still didn't respond, and Sister Zhen and the fox still couldn't lurk out.
"Although there is only one Yuanying left in Shoutian Pavilion, the ancestor of Huashen is still sitting in Wanshou Mountain, and ten more foxes can't do anything! Unless Huashen is not at home! But even if Huashen goes out and escapes, some of them will come back. One day!”
Lin Bai scolded the fox for a while, and then continued to temper his body.
There were no women to disturb him, so Lin Bai was extra attentive and only went out every once in a month.
There is no sun or moon in the practice, and more than half a year has passed in a hurry. The fire-type spiritual energy tempering body has been completed, and it has been the second turn of Hunyuan.
Look carefully at your body, it is smooth and smooth. The five elements in the body's flesh, blood, muscles and bones are flowing and endless, and there is a sense of harmony.
The remaining meaning of destruction in the body is integrated into the five elements, consuming each other and becoming less and less.
"If I try to resist the God Amulet again this time, I should be able to recover faster."
With this in mind, Lin Bai meditated for another half month before leaving the confinement.
I first went to the guest house to find Cheng Yuanli, but unexpectedly he was in retreat. He went to find Yang Shu again, but he couldn't come out of seclusion.
Lin Bai didn't have any friends in Shouting Pavilion, so he could only go to Wu Muqian.
"Perfect and harmonious, congratulations to junior brother for taking another step forward." Wu Muqian couldn't stop praising Lin Bai as soon as he saw her.
"It's just a slight improvement, not as good as senior brother." Lin Bai was also very humble.
The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Bai asked: "Brother Wumu, the leader of your sect has been out for more than half a year. I wonder what happened to Xie Qingxuan?"
"Junior brother, do you miss Junior Sister Bi?" Wu Muqian smiled clearly and said: "Speaking of which, I thought Senior Jiang would bring you, Junior Brother, but I didn't expect that he would bring Junior Sister Bi with him. What if I brought you two together? It’s also good.”
He spoke and blinked, as if to say that I had seen through you.
"I originally thought that I could contribute some meager strength to you and see the world, but Senior Jiang thought I was of low moral character, and because of Patriarch Gu, he couldn't push me too hard, so he kept me here. Lin Bai sighed repeatedly, "Besides, I started out as an alchemist. Although I also practiced formations, I have only dabbled in them a little. When it comes to my background and vision, I am far behind Senior Sister Bi."
"Didn't you coax me to bed?" Wu Muqian smiled happily and whispered: "If junior brother is lonely, there are several girls in my Wumu family, and they are not inferior to junior sister Bi when it comes to appearance."
"This..." Lin Bai was stunned.
After traveling north for a long time, Lin Bai got to know Shoutian Pavilion better and better. The people in Shoutian Pavilion had high self-esteem, and monks rarely married outside.
As for ordinary people, there are also people who marry Zhou Huishan old people, but they are either marrying into the family or marrying into the family, and they rarely push their own family members out.
Regardless of the ordinary world, Shoutian Pavilion seems to be a unified place of its own, and water cannot be poured into it.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the people in Shouting Pavilion think too highly of themselves and think outsiders are inferior. In the past, although the old people in Zhou Huishan were fighting again and again, most of the lower-level disciples were married, and later they were never able to integrate into the Shouting Pavilion sect. This was also the reason why Shouting Pavilion rarely married.
However, over the years, the secular customs of Shouting Pavilion have gradually become more common, and there are marriages with the descendants of the Huo Taiping family. I don't know whether it is an open-mindedness or an act of wooing.
When Lin Bai heard that Wu Muqian was coming to see off his daughter, he couldn't believe it.
However, Lin Bai believed that although he was not inferior to the monks of Shouting Pavilion, he had no interest in the people of Shouting Pavilion.
"Senior Jiang is working outside, how can I enjoy myself in the rear?" Lin Bai politely refused, and then asked: "I wonder what news Head Xia can send back? Is Xie Qingxuan guilty of the crime?"
"Is it easy to chase Yuanying?" Wu Muqian said with a smile on his face, clearly not worried at all: "It may not be possible in three to five years. But our leader is the most perseverant, and we want to use this to establish our authority. , I am afraid that Xie Qingxuan must be killed.”
"I heard that Xie Qingxuan is proficient in formations, I'm afraid it won't be easy." Lin Bai sighed.
"The leader carries a secret treasure. As long as he can find it, he will kill every Nascent Soul——" Wu Muqian stretched out his hand, turned it over, and said with a smile: "Easy as a piece of cake."
If others had said this, Lin Bai would have ridiculed him, but since he had the ancestor who transformed himself into a god, he was really not bragging.
"I don't know when I will be lucky enough to meet the ancestor of the gods." Although Lin Bai said this, he was actually afraid of meeting the ancestor of the gods.
"There is always a chance." Wu Muqian smiled and patted Lin Bai on the shoulder, "Now my ancestor is in charge of the sect. If there is a chance, I will take you with me."
He smiled happily and added, "I have long admired Senior Gu's elegance and hope that she can come and sit in Shouting Pavilion."
Lin Bai smiled and said to himself that it would be difficult for Aunt Gu to change her job if you want her to switch sides.
"I also have this intention, but Senior Jiang asked me to stay behind..." Lin Bai sighed and said: "Cheng Yuanli and Yang Shu are in seclusion again. I thought that after they get out of seclusion, I will let them go back to Qiaoshan. Okay You can send me a message!”
"That's how it should be! Come early and reap the benefits!" Wu Muqian actually took it seriously. He took Lin Bai's arm and whispered: "Now that my ancestor is in charge, he plans to change the past laws and regulations of Shouting Pavilion. Look at how vast Zhouhuishan Mountain is. , but there are fewer people. The ancestor wants to recruit some sect families, and they will all be members of the Shoutian Pavilion in the future. Let’s work together for the sect! After thousands of years, why can’t we have another divine transformation? ?”
Then why don't you bring back Zhou Huishan's old friends first? Is it because you have done too much harm and are afraid of them?
When Lin Bai heard this, he had admiration on his face and said: "Senior Wumu is far-sighted! In my opinion, it is actually the most suitable for Senior Wumu to be the leader!"
"Who says it's not the case! Xia Yufeng came here a few years ago and took advantage of the pioneering work, and then he was pointed out as the leader by the Yuhu Ancestor." Wu Muqian stopped calling the leader Xia and instead called him by his first name with disdain. Said: "If this were not the case, how could Xia Yufeng be so virtuous?"
"Senior Ebony's innovations will definitely give Shouting Pavilion a new look. When the ancestor of the gods meets him, he will definitely know who is wise and who is foolish! The position of the leader will definitely be changed at that time! " Lin Bai flattered.
"Young brother, you can't say that. The three Yuan Yings of Shouting Pavilion are all sages, we just have different opinions for a moment." Although Wu Muqian said this, he smiled even happier.
If everyone is virtuous, doesn’t it mean that everyone is ungrateful?
"I still think Senior Wumu is approachable. If Patriarch Gu asks me who is the best among the three seniors of Shouting Pavilion, I will only recognize Senior Wumu!" Lin Bai said honestly and courteously.
Wu Muqian became more and more happy, fetched fine wine, poured it on and drank freely.
After three rounds of drinking, the two of them chatted more and more happily. Lin Bai took the opportunity to buy some wine that was a specialty of the Northern Wilderness Region, and said that he had entered the treasure mountain, hoping to learn the alchemy method of Huashen Sect.
Wu Muqian agreed immediately, and then started boasting, saying that after a while, people would come to his hometown again.
This man brags nonsense when he drinks too much, and his wine quality is not as good as that of Yang Shu. However, there is also a bit of Shoutian Pavilion's superior nature, and he never lies, so this matter must be taken into consideration.
Nowadays, the fox and Sister Zhen are lurking. If they want to cause trouble, it will be difficult for Wumu Chunyi Nascent Soul to prevent them. If there are a few more Nascent Souls, the fox may be caught by the tail.
Moreover, the reason for the migration of the Northern Wasteland to the south has not yet been clarified.
Lin Bai had inquired before and found out that the ordinary people of Shoutian Pavilion naturally didn't know about it, and the old people in Zhou Huishan couldn't tell anything. The monks at Shoutian Pavilion only said that their ancestors made people move south, and there was nothing unusual about their hometown.
Quickly pouring more wine, Lin Bai asked curiously: "Brother Wumu, are you coming again to Senior Yuan Ying?"
Wu Muqian smiled and said nothing.
Lin Bai took advantage of the wine and asked again: "Brother Wumu, with the background of your sect, you must be more than just an ancestor of the gods, right?"
Wu Muqian raised his eyes and shook his head slightly, "I was born after moving south, and I haven't been to my hometown yet. But if we talk about the ancestor of the gods, haha, there is indeed more than one in my hometown."
Then why move from the Northern Wasteland? Or do you mean that you separated your family just like ordinary concubines? Lin Bai wanted to ask again, but Wu Muqian said no more.
After drinking, Wu Muqian pointed out to Lin Bai the family's foundation building, named Wu Muya, who was dedicated to guiding the way and accompanying him.
This Wumuya is similar to Wumuqian, has a good temper, and is also an alchemist.
Lin Bai had a disciple like Miaomiao under his knees, and he could tell the charm of the little girl at a glance.
As an alchemist, Wu Muya was not very good at dealing with people, and her concealment skills were far inferior to Miaomiao. Her nature was not very hidden, and she unconsciously showed a bit of contempt for others.
"Actually, although the people in Shoutian Pavilion are more arrogant, they really don't have much arrogance. If it weren't for the ancestor who transformed into gods, he would have been played to death long ago..."
Lin Bai estimated that if Miaomiao was brought over, she could become the king among the younger generation.
Following this Wumuya found an old alchemist from the Wumu family named Wumu Duan.
Wumu Duanxu had some contacts with the alchemist from Zhou Huishan, but he didn't look down on Lin Bai. Instead, he was very interested in discussing alchemy with Lin Bai.
The two chatted for three days, and Wu Muduan became more and more optimistic about Lin Bai, so the chat became deeper and deeper.
"You have to cater to the female nuns..."
"It's not about flattering, it's about giving gifts."
"In addition to giving gifts to female cultivators, apart from things that are compatible with each other, or elixirs that can improve one's realm of cultivation and remove obstacles that hinder levels, it is most appropriate to have a wonderful elixir from our hometown."
"Want to hear the details!"
"Our hometown is located in a land of ice and snow, and it is extremely cold. Therefore, elixirs have always been based on the method of increasing warmth and nourishing the body. However, my family also has another elixir called Bingjiyugudan, which can slow down aging. , improves appearance and enhances beauty. It has always been sold well in my hometown! But when I came here, there was a shortage of materials and I was too lazy to make it again.”
Lin Bai was idle, said many good things, and took out a bottle of Mengyu Pill in exchange for the pill recipe.
Wu Muduan thought for a moment and then agreed, and gave three spiritual materials for Lin Bai to test.
Originally, a bottle of Mengyu Pill could never be exchanged for the recipe, but one of the main ingredients required for the Ice Muscle Jade Bone Pill was a specialty of the Northern Wilderness Region, otherwise it would have been difficult to refine it.
This is also the reason why Wumutuan is generous. Anyway, even if he knows the recipe, he can't do it without the materials.
From then on, Lin Bai began to discuss alchemy with Wu Mu Duan, and went out from time to time to give advice to the Wu Mu family's children. He also helped to make alchemy without charging any spiritual stones, as if he was working for him.
Because of this, Lin Bai's popularity improved a lot, so he picked up Travels to the North and scribbled on it.
After half a year, there was still no news about Xie Qingxuan. Sister Zhen and Hu Hu also did not show up. Instead, Yang Shu came out of confinement.
He had completed the foundation construction, and Lin Bai approached Cheng Yuanli, and together they asked Yang Shu for several days on how to deal with the disaster.
After that, Lin Bai also went into retreat and meditated. Now on the second level of Jindan, he should move forward bravely.
Another half year passed and Yang Shu came to the door again.
He is already perfect and is just waiting for the elixir tribulation.
Lin Bai had already asked Wu Muqian to find the place where he should be catastrophic. It was a mountain peak and a fourth-level spiritual land.
When he arrived at the place, Lin Bai called Cheng Yuanli who was in seclusion, and asked Wu Muya to invite Wu Muqian.
Soon, Cheng Yuanli hurried over, Wu Muqian also came, and many low-level disciples came to watch the ceremony.
Forming elixirs for monks is not a trivial matter. Even though the people in Shoutian Pavilion are used to looking down on others, they still know that observing the ceremony and thunder calamity is an opportunity.
"If I have any disharmony, please forward this letter to Yingqiu on my behalf. The person I feel most sorry for is her..."
Yang Shu started to complain instead, took out the letter and handed it to Lin Bai, and said: "I also made an appointment with your Jiang Yu to go fishing together. She has a good character and never cheats, unlike Miaomiao..."< br>
"Jiang Yu is indeed a gentleman." Cheng Yuanli nodded in agreement.
Lin Bai was speechless and held his forehead.
Seeing that Yang Shu wanted to continue, Lin Bai quickly stopped him.
"We monks should be determined to move forward. Your mother-in-law and mother-in-law have no reason to make people laugh! If Gu Feixue were here, she would definitely disdain what you did!" Lin Bai encouraged.
Sure enough, when Gu Feixue was mentioned, Yang Shu cheered up a lot, and then became depressed again, "You have to be nicer to Feixue."
"She is a member of the Gu family, and she doesn't need others to treat her well. You, too, should be self-reliant!" Lin Bai said.
"Don't come here anymore. Feixue's progress was slow in the past. It was you who said you would do whatever you wanted with her after she formed the elixir. She was inspired, and then she slowly caught up. When Miaomiao sold Yingqiu Tiger Wolf Pills, I told Yingqiu a long time ago!" Yang Shu was very unconvinced.
"..." Lin Bai had a headache as soon as he heard that his apprentice had a headache. He sighed helplessly and waved his hand, "Hurry up, everyone is waiting!"
Yang Shu then sat down cross-legged and swallowed the pill.
Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli went down the mountain and sat down with Wu Muqian to wait for the ceremony.
There are also two golden elixirs, one male and one female, both from the Ebony family.
After pouring wine and exchanging pleasantries, Lin Bai asked Xie Qingxuan about it.
"His traces have been found, but this beast is good at using formations. Now he is just surrounded and has not been captured yet." Wu Muqian smiled and was very proud, "My ancestor posted again and invited Xu. The people from Yunmen, Tianyan Sword Sect and Yuanying Shi clan are going to help, and they will surely be able to win it soon.”
Did you really find someone? How did Wu Muqian calculate it? Lin Bai was puzzled, but he could only say good things.
After waiting for three days, the calamity cloud finally came to the horizon.
The calamity cloud has been brewing for a long time, and the first calamity thunder fell, and then one after another.
Yang Shu was born in the Nascent Soul family, and had a very solid foundation. He also tempered his body with medicinal baths all year round, so he could easily deal with the first six tribulation thunders.
"There are so many talented people in Qiaoshan!" Wu Muqian sighed.
"You still have to borrow a treasure land to make the trip." Lin Bai said with a smile.
Seeing the seventh calamity thunder falling, Yang Shu seemed to be in trouble. The eighth thunderbolt was barely able to be caught, but the ninth thunderbolt lingered, as if it was preparing to strike with all its strength.
Lin Bai watched silently, hoping that Yang Shu could take another step forward. It's just that I feel a little restless in my heart, and I don't know why.
There was a lot of movement during this calamity. Regardless of whether the monks from Shoutian Pavilion came to see them or not, most of them were paying attention to this area. And there was only one Nascent Soul left in Shoutian Pavilion. If they wanted to cause trouble...
Lin Bai took out the transparent jade cicada and saw that the jade cicada was still motionless and did not feel the slightest reaction.
At this moment, the ninth tribulation thunder descended, as if it was about to overturn the sky.
The power of the tribulation thunder was so great, but a vast and incomparable roar came from a distance, which actually covered up the sound of the tribulation thunder.
Everyone stood up immediately and had no time to look at Yang Shu Yingjie, so they all looked to the northwest.
Five or six hundred miles to the northwest is the blessed land of Wanshou Mountain, where the transformed gods sit and guard!
Wu Muqian immediately flew up, and Lin Bai and others followed immediately.
I saw a huge figure still visible among the vast clouds and mist in the northwest.
Even though they were extremely far apart, Zhu Jindan felt a trembling feeling in his heart.
The huge figure stood upright, holding a jade pot in his hand, as if he was looking for something, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Is this the action of the God-incarnation Dharma? No, the pressure is fleeting, something is wrong. It seems to be a magical power such as a Dharma protector, not the God-incarnation coming in person!"
Lin Bai murmured in his heart, only to feel the colorless jade cicada in his hand tremble slightly, and then became silent.
