When Song Qingming and Zhao Menglian heard what Jin Ziyuan suddenly said, although they were slightly embarrassed, they didn't show much surprise.
After all, this world of immortality respects the strong. If you want to win the respect of others, the most important thing is to look at the monk's own cultivation strength.
Although the fake elixir monks can barely be considered successful in elixir formation, because they cannot refine their own magic weapons, their own strength is far inferior to the real golden elixir monks. Jin Ziyuan will look down on fake elixir monks like Hu Tianren. In fact, it is not a rare thing in the world of immortality.
Many Xiaoyao Sect Jindan elders, including Song Qingming himself, are usually willing to be on an equal footing with fake elixir monks like Hu Tianren, just because they all belong to the same sect.
"Junior Brother Song, don't worry. I rejected Junior Brother Hu directly yesterday. Even if Junior Sister Xu wanted to go, I didn't dare to agree. Junior Brother Hu's cultivation level will not be of much use to us. , if something happens to him inside, I’m afraid the head brother will still complain about us in the future.”
Seeing that Song Qingming asked about Hu Tianren as soon as he came in, knowing that he might be worried that he would agree to the other party, Zhao Mengli hurriedly explained to Song Qingming.
"What Senior Sister Zhao said is that I heard that Junior Brother Hu and the Head Senior Brother seemed to have some relationship before, so I was a little worried about this matter. It was our first time to go to Babel Tower, and we were all a little embarrassed. To protect myself, it is indeed difficult to take care of him." After confirming that Zhao Mengli had rejected the other party, Song Qingming felt a little relieved.
Part of the reason why Hu Tianren was selected by the Xiaoyao Sect to support him in forming the fake elixir was because he was a direct descendant of the Taoist monk Yao Qianshu, the head of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Yao Qianshu was very affectionate with his Taoist companion at that time. He was able to successfully form the elixir. The Taoist companion also did a lot for him. Unfortunately, not long after, during a ritual execution, During the mission, his Taoist companion unfortunately died outside and failed to successfully form the elixir.
After the death of the Taoist companions who supported each other, Yao Qianshu has not been looking for a new Taoist companion for so many years. She has always taken good care of her original family, the Hu family, and later supported Hu Tianren to form a Fake elixir.
Although Song Qingming and others look down on Hu Tianren, they still respect Yao Qianshu, the head of the sect for many years, and they must still worry about his face. If something unexpected happens if they bring this person in, they will be in Yao Qianshu when he comes back. It is indeed difficult to explain the technique here.
"Alas! Junior Brother Song is overly modest. Your current cultivation level has reached the third level of the Golden Core. In addition, there is also a Golden Core Corpse Puppet. Your fighting skills are no longer as good as those of an average mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. .
The two of us plus Senior Sister Zhao, even if we face ordinary late-stage Jindan cultivators. , we are also capable of fighting. As long as we don’t take the initiative to enter the fourth level, we should not encounter any danger.”
Song Qingming’s performance in the last battle of Iron Immortal Castle was in many golden elixirs. Although he is not very outstanding among the monks, his own strength has been recognized by Jin Ziyuan and others.
Especially after seeing the "Golden Wind" summoned by Song Qingming, apart from Chen Xuanfeng, who had already known about it, Jin Ziyuan and others were also slightly surprised at the time. They did not expect that Song Qingming had such a powerful power hidden in him. A trump card.
Because of this, when Song Qingming approached him a year ago and wanted to go to the "Babel Tower" together, Zhao Mengli and Jin Ziyuan were very happy after knowing his intention and quickly agreed to the matter.
Except for Chu Fengping, who was ordered by Li Mufeng to stay behind the sect, among the remaining Jindan elders of the Xiaoyao Sect, only Lu Boyang and Song Qingming were the only ones who had the strength to enter the Babel Tower. .
Because Lu Boyang just had some insights in his cultivation recently, he has been practicing in seclusion for the past few years and has no intention of going to the "Tongtian Tower".
Zhao Mengli and Jin Ziyuan, Several attempts to invite Lu Boyang failed. Even if Song Qingming didn't take the initiative to come to the door, they already had the idea to go to Tuoyun Mountain to find Song Qingming.
Although in the past few years, Zhao Menglian and Jin Ziyuan have each found a casual cultivator friend outside who is willing to accompany them, after all, there is no more person with similar strength in the "Babel Tower" than in other places. If your companions enter, you will naturally have a little more protection.
What's more, Song Qingming still belongs to the same sect as them. To Zhao Mengli and Jin Ziyuan, Song Qingming is half their own, and is naturally much more trustworthy than the ordinary casual cultivator friends they find outside.
Five days later, a colorful glow shone in the northern part of Liang Kingdom.
After nearly a month, the colorful rays of light in the sky are much more dazzling than before. If the monks with extraordinary eyesight are at the Golden Core stage or above, they can already see a trace of it. There was a looming shadow, as if something huge was about to come out of it.
Since the news of the emergence of the "Babel Tower" spread, shield lights can be seen flying from everywhere here every day. Not only has it attracted many high-level monks, but also people from the Liang Kingdom Many low-level monks in the foundation building and Qi refining stages also gathered here.
However, these monks here are also clearly divided into regions according to their level of cultivation. Those who can stand on several hills not far from Xiaguang are basically those who have reached the Golden Core stage. The monks above.
Those low-level monks who only had foundation building and Qi refining skills could only stand in a circle on the outside, looking at the high-level monks in the middle with envy from afar. On this day, high in the sky in the east, a green light suddenly came quickly and landed directly on a mountain peak near the middle.
A moment later, a small cyan airship appeared in an open space on the top of the mountain, and seven figures slowly appeared. They were the ones who had just arrived from tens of thousands of miles away from Liang Kingdom. Outside, a group of Xiaoyao Sect arrived.
Occupying this open space, there were originally a few casual cultivators of the Golden Core stage. When they saw Li Mufeng, the Nascent Soul cultivator, and everyone from the Xiaoyao Sect, their expressions immediately changed. After everyone bowed their hands, they stayed away from here very wisely, leaving the open space to Li Mufeng and the others.
Song Qingming and others who had just stepped off the flying boat saw for the first time the huge colorful light flashing in the sky, and they all showed shock on their faces. The huge movement in this secret realm was indeed Some are beyond their original imagination.
Only Li Mufeng, who had once entered the "Tongtian Tower", glanced at it with a normal expression and quickly turned his gaze elsewhere to check out the other high-level monks on the mountain.
“I haven’t seen you Taoist friend Li for many years. I am polite here.”
Not long after everyone from Xiaoyao Sect arrived here, an old man wearing Taoist robes with white hair and long beard suddenly appeared. Appearing in front of them, he slightly arched his hands towards Li Mufeng who was standing in front.
This old man looked like a kind-hearted old man, but the powerful aura exuding from him was no less than that of Li Mufeng, who was standing in front of everyone. He was obviously also a monk in the Nascent Soul stage.
Behind this old man, there were three Jindan monks with high levels of cultivation. One of them was Cheng Bufan, a monk from the Lingyin Sect whom Song Qingming had met in Wu State before.
Almost twenty years have passed since the Star Conference parted. Cheng Bufan's cultivation has been further advanced than before to reach the ninth level of the Golden Core. He is only one step away from entering the Nascent Soul realm that is admired by thousands of people.
Seeing Cheng Bufan standing behind the old Taoist with a respectful look on his face, Song Qingming also immediately guessed that the Nascent Soul monk with a high level of cultivation in front of him should be the only Yuan Ying monk of Lingyin Sect. The supreme elder in the infant stage, Situ Yan.
Sure enough, when Li Mufeng saw the old white-haired Taoist, he immediately came to him with a smile, cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "Fellow Taoist Situ is farther away than me. I didn't expect that your Lingyin Sect would be one step ahead of me. When we get here, it seems that I am very well prepared this time.”
< br>"Haha! Fellow Daoist Li is joking. Fellow Daoist Zheng and the others haven't come here yet. It seems that it will take some time for the Tower of Babel to be opened. If Fellow Daoist Li is free, how about playing a game of chess with me."
"The same goes for left and right. If nothing happens, then I would be disrespectful!”
Li Mufeng had just nodded in agreement. Cheng Bufan, who was standing behind Situ Yan, immediately took out a chessboard carved from a single piece of jade from the storage instrument on his body, placed it between the two of them, and placed it respectfully. A set of very exquisite chess boxes was carefully placed aside.
Then the other two Jindan monks from the Lingyin Sect beside Situ Yan also took out the futons, sandalwood and other items needed to play chess. Apparently they had been prepared for it.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please invite me!" After Cheng Bufan and others were ready, Situ Yan stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation, then sat directly on the edge of the chessboard and grabbed a handful of white chess pieces. Put it on the table.
The two Nascent Soul masters played chess, and naturally they quickly attracted many Jindan cultivators who followed them. Even those Jindan cultivators who had been far away from here also rushed here when they saw this scene. Bian leaned over.
Although these people did not dare to get too close like Song Qingming and others, facing this rare opportunity to see the Nascent Soul Monk chess game, these people really did not want to miss it, even if they stood a little far away Some of them also had a hint of excitement on their faces, hoping to learn something useful for themselves from these Nascent Soul cultivators.
Li Mufeng and Situ Yan started playing a game of chess normally, but after just a dozen moves, the speed of their moves quickly slowed down and became slower and slower.
This game of chess soon made Song Qingming, who was watching the chess, feel something and noticed something strange in it.
From this chess game, Song Qingming seemed to see his own way of cultivation. When he first entered the Tao, he practiced very quickly, but as he went on, it gradually became more and more difficult, and his own cultivation speed also slowed down. The speed will then decrease. (End of this chapter)
