Yuexia Toad and Lin Pei came to look for help, but they were dragged into the gang by a few words.
Now that he decided to stay, Lin Bai stopped thinking about it and asked the wood demon about the whereabouts of Sister Zhen.
"That girl can't stay idle, and I don't know where she has gone now." The wood demon said with a smile.
Lin Bai originally thought that Sister Zhen would also come, at least a few helpers who knew everything about her, but unexpectedly they didn't come.
There was nothing much to ask. Since they had to wait for one more person, Lin and Pei, as juniors, felt uncomfortable staying in the cave, so they came out to wander around.
Coming out of the bottom of the lake, which is more than a thousand feet deep, the two of them sat by the lake and chatted.
"Senior Chengfengzi asked some questions about Master." Pei Ning said.
This is not surprising, Chen Tianren's reputation spread to the Northern Wasteland after he defeated Kong Shu with his sword.
With Nascent Soul right under their butts, the two of them didn't dare to say anything out of the ordinary and only talked nonsense.
Judging from Chengfengzi's demeanor, he should be the main one this time, and he was even the one who excavated this place, with Xie Qingxuan and Wood Demon as assistants.
As for what is in the secret realm and what people are seeking, they have no idea at all.
And Chengfengzi's words were quite a bit condescending to his ancestors. I'm afraid he was not far away from becoming a god, so he must be quite capable and proud of it.
Lin Bai didn't know Chengfengzi's origins. Zou Mi had never mentioned it before, and he didn't dare to ask Yuexia Toad.
After wandering around here for a while, I became familiar with the terrain. The area within a radius of more than ten miles should be in a formation. The formation is mysterious, has the ability to conceal and transform, and can also isolate and detect, and it has become a world of its own.
The birds here are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the grade of the spiritual land is as high as the fourth level.
Since he had to wait for someone anyway, Lin Bai asked Pei Jingping to repair while he guarded him.
Most of the spiritual beasts here are born with spiritual intelligence. After a few days, snakes and deers will bring spiritual flowers and herbs in their mouths, hoping to ask for elixirs; turtles and turtles will bring shells and pebbles, and they will try their best to please them.
Lin Bai saw that the things sent by the spirit beasts were just mediocre, so he still dispersed many pills with the intention of helping people become enlightened.
But these spirit beasts were ungrateful and asked for too much. Lin Bai didn't dare to take out the Tiger Wolf Pills, so he gave him a show of discipline. However, these spirit beasts were very clever. Seeing that Lin Bai was an honest man, they became even more aggressive and even took the title of I want to exchange a piece of broken stone for elixir.
With no other choice, Lin Bai took out the fox's tail hair, and the aura of the high-level spiritual beasts dispersed, scaring those spiritual beasts into running away one by one.
But a few days later, those spirit beasts saw that Lin Bai was afraid to take action, so they came to ask for it again.
"Senior Zhuan Lun, what's wrong with asking you for something? I brought you in."
"I, Lao Zhang, have lived here for generations, and I have never seen such a fussy monk as Senior Zhuan Lun."
Xianhe and the old deer took the lead and led a group of tigers, deers and foxes to force the palace.
Lin Bai laughed angrily. These guys were afraid of power but not virtue. It was really infuriating.
There was no other way, so Lin Bai made a batch of elixirs, saying that he liked the deer the most, so 80% of the elixir was given to the red-skinned deer, and the other spiritual beasts only got 20%.
After dividing the pills for several days in a row, the spirit beast here was stunned.
Lin Bai arranged the formation early and never saw these spiritual beasts again.
Half a month later, the toad under the moon also came out.
"Ancestor!" Lin Bai looked concerned, "Ancestor, it was inconvenient to speak before. How dare I ask if the injury is healed? This matter in the secret realm is probably very dangerous. Ancestor..."
"Don't worry, I can protect myself." Yuexia Toad waved her hand gently. Her face was a little pale, and her eyes were a little melancholy. She only looked at the bright moon in the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lin Bai felt that Yuexia Toad was not reliable.
Lin Bai has met more Nascent Souls, and has gained more knowledge. There are very few people who are as good at scheming as Jiang Xingchi, and even more unique ones like Chen Tianren who can defeat all kinds of magic. Most of them are actually like Aunt Gu. Those who cultivate more diligently and socialize less.
Nascent Soul is naturally not stupid, but in the end there is a distinction between superior and inferior.
No wonder you were able to chat with Zou Mi. Neither of them likes to think about things. Lin Bai was actually more willing to deal with Yuexia Toad. After all, people really didn't have many bad intentions. The illusion test like last time was something ordinary Nascent Souls would do, so it was normal.
"Ancestor, what is the origin of Senior Chengfengzi?" Lin Bai asked curiously. This time he was going to enter the former residence of the master of Xuanyin. He should not know the enemy, but also know himself.
"Chengfengzi claimed to be a casual cultivator." Yuexia Toad didn't hide it. "He is now in the late stage of Nascent Soul. He suddenly appeared six hundred years ago. He has contacts with all kinds of colleagues. He once traveled all over the north. In the wilderness, he has a wide range of friends.”
It is true that I have a wide range of contacts, but it is too extensive! Instead of looking for monks in the domain, they looked for Xie Qingxuan and Wood Yao. Even if they are indeed capable, Chengfengzi's popularity must not be very good, right?
Lin Bai was waiting for the next chapter curiously. Yuexia Toad smiled slightly and said, "That's all I know."
"..." Lin Bai really has no temper, but you can't blame Yuexia Toad for this. She is a real ice palace fairy and has very few friends.
"Ancestor," Lin Bai changed the question again, "May I ask when the senior who is waiting will arrive?"
"It's normal for Nascent Soul to wait ten or eight years for planning. It may come in March or May, or it may come in three to five years. Don't take it to heart." Yuexia Toad still doesn't know, "Just practice quietly. ”
"Yes." Lin Bai agreed obediently.
"You have the Taoist master's intention of destruction, and you practice body tempering. Your skills are naturally the best among your fellow Taoists, but once you get involved, you need to be even more careful." Yuexia Toad really didn't take Lin Bai seriously. Outsiders, careful advice.
"Ancestor..." Lin Bai was so moved that his eyes turned red.
Yuexia Toad said no more, waved his sleeves and left.
In this case, Lin Bai stopped thinking about other things and calmed down to practice.
When they came to the stone plate, they saw a wisp of green, and Aunt Gu's chain was still there. The moon is white and surging, Xiu Xiu is making progress again.
With a thought, the scene on the stone plate changed, the mist opened the gap, and the white moon poured in, announcing that Xiu Xiu was safe.
Then he sat and meditated. Since the last time he retreated and arrived at the fifth level of the golden elixir, he has been running around and working hard. Now he has some free time and can meditate for a while.
After tying the knot pill, Lin Bai was not slow in making progress among his peers, but after all, he had a stone plate to help him, but because of too many things, he had to practice the Hunyuan body tempering method, understand the sword's intention, and refine the gourd. , after all, the advancement of cultivation is still a bit slow.
But he didn't achieve much. He abandoned the meaning of purity and the meaning of earth and fire, and tried to find a meaning that was compatible with himself, but he never got it. He could only deal with it by relying on the sword intention left by Taoist Master Huai Que.
The Hunyuan Tempering Body is only at its second level, and the gourd has not yet been refined. The disciple is even more likely to rebel. "Realm is the foundation." Lin Bai's heart moved slightly, and the incomplete stone plate appeared in his hand.
There are three purposes for this trip to the Northern Wasteland. The first is to inquire about the affairs of the Tianwen Sect, which is now settled, except for Zou Mi’s letter that has not been delivered. The second is to inquire about the whereabouts of the second volume of the Secret of Immortality Creation. The third is to find the stone plate. Fragments of clues.
After pondering for a while, Lin Bai put aside distracting thoughts and kept his mind pure.
A trace of spiritual energy entered from outside the mist, then gathered on Lin Bai's head, and finally enveloped his body.
We are now at the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. The further we go, the slower and more difficult it will be, so we cannot slow down even more.
The art of creation is running, and the golden elixir in the body is clear.
The mist surged, and soon thousands of stars were seen turning like a galaxy.
The stars flowed and poured on Lin Bai. The water surged, and Lin Bai moved with the waves, and his black hair and black hair kept changing.
The stone plate was pushed by the water waves, slowly rotating, and then stirring the galaxy, as if it was combined with the golden elixir in the body, trying to obliterate all things.
The golden elixir in the body becomes increasingly clear, as if it has been washed away by the long river of time and the boundless galaxy.
The strange phenomena inside and outside the body are moving frequently, and sometimes it seems like falling into the long river of time, and sometimes like falling into the boundless river of stars.
The swimming fish moves with the waves and cannot be free.
In a daze, Lin Bai seemed to have returned to the wordless secret realm, where the stars and rivers were hanging upside down, giant trees were towering, the waves were dull, and everything seemed stagnant, unable to move at all.
At that time, he had an argument with Li Xinghe about how to escape by thinking of himself as a fish or a star.
And Li Xinghe used the looming and appearing of the businessmen to compare it to human life and death, as if he wanted to swim a fish across the long river of time to achieve the magic of escape.
But after all the talk, in the end it is just a sentence: the road is long and the road is long, but the journey is coming soon.
When practicing, one does not know the sun and the moon. One moment he swims upstream like a fish, and the other moment he swims downstream.
During the difficult search, I suddenly became enlightened, my mind and heart were in harmony, and I felt like I was soaring into the sky.
Lin Bai opened his eyes and saw stars drooping, long rivers rushing, and stone plates turning, giving a sense of vastness.
There was a thin line outside the mist, and Lin Bai took it into his hand.
My mind seems to be traveling along a line, crossing mountains and crossing rivers, traveling thousands of miles away, even crossing the border and escaping from this world.
The view is green, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, making it look like a most beautiful place in the world.
Birds are flying and butterflies are dancing, spring water is tinkling, and from time to time a gray rabbit stands up on its two feet and looks around, alert to incoming enemies.
There seemed to be something different in front of him. Lin Bai was about to take a closer look when he had a splitting headache and could only loosen the thread.
"The last time I spied on the fox, or even spied on the Three Yuan Yings of Shoutian Pavilion, it took a long time. How come this time..."
After resting for a long time and stabilizing his small state, Lin Bai opened his eyes.
Two years have passed, but the protective formation is still the same, and the dust around him is subtle.
Pei Ning knelt beside him, with his back to him, as if he was replying to someone.
Lin Bai looked over and saw the man in his forties or fifties, sitting cross-legged, with black hair and gray robes, and a slight smile on his face.
The person who comes here cannot see the reality, so he must be in the Nascent Soul realm. There are two people standing behind this person, a man and a woman, both of whom look like young men.
Sensing that there was no sense of good or bad luck in his heart, Lin Bai stood up and saluted.
The Nascent Soul ignored him, only looked at Pei Ning, and asked: "So, the Master didn't have many adventures. The sword he cultivated was probably his own enlightenment?"
"This junior has never heard of any adventures from my master, so I don't think so." Pei Ning said respectfully.
"Kong Shu used the secret treasure to create the laws of heaven and earth, and it was like breaking them with one sword. It is really admirable." The Yuan Ying looked at the sky and sighed, saying: "Compared with it, Chi Shangxing is really not worth mentioning. That's it. I'm afraid I can't even block a sword."
Pei Ning did not answer, but the female Jin Dan behind Yuanying smiled sweetly and said: "How can Chi Shangxing be compared with Master? Even Kong Shu, I'm afraid it's not enough."
< br>
"Qing'er, don't underestimate others. Chi Shangxing is not good at fighting, but Kong Shu is good at battle formation!" The Nascent Soul sternly said: "You are just a golden elixir, but you underestimate the person who has proven the Dao Yuanying. What's the point? Not to mention Chi Shangxing, you may not be able to win just by being Chen Tianren's beloved disciple."
He looked at Lin Bai again and continued: "This little friend is even more extraordinary. He has the sixth level of golden elixir, which means harmony and nature. You are far behind!"
"Disciple, I know I made a mistake." The woman named Qing'er saluted, then saluted Pei Ning and Lin Bai, as if she were a different person, and said, "Brother and sister, please give me your advice in the future."
Lin and Pei quickly returned the greetings without even daring to say anything.
The middle-aged Nascent Soul stopped talking. He stood up and waved his sleeves to remove the illusion of the formation. He saw an old turtle waiting not far away.
The old turtle trembled and stepped forward, "Please..."
The middle-aged Yuanying stepped directly into the water. Lin and Pei looked at each other and followed.
After entering the lake, we soon explored the bottom and then entered the cave.
After walking for a while, cheerful laughter came from Chengfengzi.
"Haha! Once my brother comes, there will be no worries about this trip!" Chengfengzi stood up at this moment. He was tall and thin, and his appearance was much less old.
"Fellow Taoist Chengfeng is holding it like this, I'm afraid it will kill me!" the middle-aged Nascent Soul responded with a smile.
"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist is joking!" Chengfengzi naturally introduced the situation, "This is Fellow Daoist Zhou Wuxian, the first disciple of Patriarch Juexin of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!"
Chengfengzi was very warm and introduced: "This is Fellow Daoist Xie Qingxuan, Fellow Daoist Wood Demon Wood, Fellow Daoist Yuexia Chanyue!"
No one saluted, they just nodded in greeting, and Yuexia Toad didn't even change his expression.
Chengfengzi was very happy and said with a big smile: "Fellow Daoist Yue is a descendant of the great sect in the Northern Wilderness Territory, Fellow Daoist Mu is from the Western Xuan Territory, Fellow Daoist Xie is from the Eastern Sea Territory, Fellow Daoist Zhou comes from the Holy Land of Zhongzhou with his master, and I am a wandering wanderer from the Southern Heaven Territory. . Now that all the talented people have arrived, it’s time to work together to seize the opportunity!" (End of this chapter)
