Chapter 284 Chapter 281: Mountain worship and growth
When Chu Zhou returns, the world is shocked!
This sentence is not said casually, but when the sound of Hong Zhong and Da Lu resounds for hundreds of miles, it is destined to be a sleepless night.
First, at the Sifang City Gate, there were suddenly more people on horseback and drivers. They galloped wildly, trying to get the first-hand news out before the curfew.
Then, above the sky, all kinds of birds were flying rapidly, ranging from small doves and falcons to large goshawks and rocs. They all soared in the sky and disappeared into the lonely sunset at the fastest speed.
Of course, there are also more sophisticated methods, such as the transmission notes flowing out of Xuanzhen Palace, the paper crane technique, etc., which are used continuously, so that the news radiates outward like a hurricane.
In the early morning of the next day, Ji Mingqian got up early after not sleeping well all night, washed up, put on his official uniform, and called over the county magistrate Zhao Yuanwai, the county captain Wang Fugui, and the bookkeeper Gu Xianming.
He took some more fast-moving men and horses and rushed to Xuanzhen Palace.
Their group should not be too conspicuous. Before they reached the city gate, a large number of people were already following behind them.
For example, Cao Bao, the former head of the Black Mountains who has settled in Baisha City, Zuo Qiutong, the current master of the Husha Pavilion, and Zhu Xuan, the master of the Wanxiangzhai Battle Hall, are all in the team.
They have a closer relationship with Xuanzhen Palace and have some friendship with each other. This trip was a direct visit.
As for the others, although they are all masters of various sects, they are nothing in front of Chu Zhou. They all have greeting cards.
Among them, the sects at the governor level have just become qualified, and the only ones who can really use it are the four major sects, military attaches from the Universiade Court, and those from Dayan and the Golden Horde Khanate stationed in Baisha City. Sect master.
None of these people have the strength of a martial arts master to be embarrassed to introduce themselves. There are some powerful sects, and the ones who stay directly behind are the martial arts masters.
For example, in the Sanqing Sect, Qi Daodao was in charge, while the Ba Zong was left with the Supreme Elder Yan Xuefeng.
All these show the current status of Xuanzhen Palace in the entire world!
In martial arts, the Grand Master is the pinnacle, and those land gods have gone one step further and are considered the biggest behind-the-scenes bosses in the world.
They joined forces and only managed to hold Chu Zhou hostage, but Chu Zhou was still able to return safely.
What does this mean?
This represents not only the power of immortality, but also the vague number one in the world!
Although it only governs a county and has not been developed for a long time, Xuanzhen Palace has already gained a power that transcends martial arts sects and has a posture of being superior to all living beings.
I have to say, people are really weird sometimes!
If they were mixed together, they wouldn't think anything of it, but Xuanzhen Palace's way out of the world is to break away from the world of mortals and devote oneself to cultivating immortality...
The image stood up in just one stroke.
Nowadays, anyone who can have some relationship with Xuanzhen Palace can be regarded as a high-ranking person; if he can really say a few words, he can be fawned over by countless people.
Just like Cao Bao, he disbanded the Black Mountain bandits early, stopped blocking roads and robberies, and bought a property in Baisha City.
He is even more familiar with Chu Zhou, and often meets Fan Zhong and Wei Jinkui. Now, he even got a job as a manager in the Yellow Crane Tower, and I don't know how many people are fawning over him.
Two-quarters of an hour later, outside Xuanzhen Palace, the fog was thin, and the majesty of the mountain gate was vaguely visible.
Next to the mountain gate, there was a small jade ring. Ji Mingqian went up to knock on it in person. He saw clouds and mist rolling in at the end of the mountain road, and two people came from the clouds and mist.
However, they obviously did not expect that there were so many people as far as they could see.
They did not step forward, but paused, as if after discussing it, another person disappeared into the clouds.
About a minute after the tea was made, someone stepped forward. When he stepped out of the clouds, it was Wei Jinkui who arrived.
He was in charge of welcoming guests, so in a situation like this, it was his turn to step in. With a quick glance and a few words of conversation with Ji Mingqian, he already figured out the situation.
After thinking for a while, he raised his hand to cast a spell, using a 'mute technique', coupled with uploading musical notes, he communicated with Chu Zhou.
After receiving the order, he did not delay. Some people he knew well were invited into the sect. As for others, they accepted the invitations, but they only accepted the invitations.
Wei Jinkui led the way, and they passed through the mountain guard formation, then walked along the mountain road, passing Lingguan Hall, Zhenwu Hall, and Sanqing Hall, walking all the way, going straight into the depths.
At this time, Xuanzhen Palace is no longer what it used to be. It occupies several hills and is paved with bluestones. It is lined with green trees and the chirping of birds and insects.
The environment is naturally good, the air is fresh and clean, and every breath can make the body and mind feel comfortable.
However, such a distance was too much for two people like Ji Mingqian and Zhao Yuanwai who had never practiced martial arts. It was Wei Jinkui who used two armor-horse talismans and two strongman talismans to allow them to keep up with everyone.
Before they arrived, there were shouts of harmony, and the wind of fists broke through the air, uniformly, and it even felt like the earth was shaking and the color of the heaven and earth changed.
Everyone was naturally curious about Xuanzhen Palace. Looking from a distance, they saw a huge martial arts field with nearly a thousand disciples practicing in the morning.
You know, there are more than a thousand people, all over the mountains and plains. They are arranged in a neat queue, practicing the world-famous "Nine Wandering Dragon Styles". Coupled with the "Nine Sons of Dragon Song", their breathing and exhalation are as powerful as a long river.
After all, they started out in the martial arts, and almost all the disciples of Xuanzhen Palace were successful in body training. At a glance, more than half of them showed the hegemonic form.
That tall figure, the knotted muscles, every punch and kick, there is a huge surge of strength and blood, just like the roar of a real dragon.
And nearly a thousand people are practicing martial arts, and their energy and blood are soaring into the sky, which is enough to compete with the sun and make the heaven and earth change color.
Just this glance made everyone present change their expressions, including the martial arts master of Sanqing Sect asked Qiu.
At this moment, his eyes became serious. Outsiders thought that Chu Zhou was the strongest in Xuanzhen Palace, and that the four junior brothers also had some abilities.
The disciples at the lower level are not very useful, at least there are no powerful masters who can be called names.
But looking at it now, I'm afraid it's just that they haven't walked in the world yet. In such a sect, their growth rate is definitely beyond imagination.
In fact, what Qi Daodao didn't know was that this was the weakest group among the second batch of disciples who started.
Wei Jinkui did not lead the crowd along the main road, which would have required them to pass through the entire martial arts arena. Instead, he took a side path, took a half-circle, and finally climbed up the mountain where the Patriarch Hall is located.
After stepping over the bluestone steps and onto the top of the mountain, they saw a man wearing a purple robe with his long hair tied up casually, standing on the cliff with his hands behind his back.
He clearly showed no magic power or any momentum, he just stood casually, but when everyone looked at him, they felt that he seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth, vast and unreachable.
There is also a feeling of being transported away by the wind, floating like a fairy.
This one, the Palace Master of Xuanzhen Palace, or the real number one person in the world, Chu Zhou, was standing there.
He didn't turn around, and everyone didn't even dare to take a step forward and speak first.
After waiting for a cup of tea and the morning exercise was over, Chu Zhou turned around and looked around. His warm eyes passed over everyone, and then he smiled.
"Everyone, long time no see!"
Everyone woke up as if from a dream, and bowed together, saluted, and said: "I have met Palace Master Chu!"
"You're welcome, everyone, please come inside, have a sip of tea from my Xuanzhen Palace, and chat about this major world event."
……
As soon as everyone saw Chu Zhou, their goal was half achieved.
As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is belief. Seeing Chu Zhou return safely means that the only immortal sect in the world has a backbone.
In the living room, fragrant tea was served, and Chu Zhou chatted with everyone. What he talked about the most was the many strange things that happened in various places.
Chu Zhou did not hide anything, starting from the ancient immortal war, talking about the Jedi Heavenly Power, and then the Red Dragon Immortal taking action, sealing the sky and the earth, and various seal arrangements.
Although the content was much less, the closed-door meeting yesterday was still endless, but everyone was still fascinated by it.
The reason why Chu Zhou explained like this was for a purpose. One of them was to spread the news through people's mouths and tell the people in the world what the situation was.
And the way to deal with it is also very simple, that is to avoid those places and hide farther away.
In fact, nowadays, the ancient immortal's seal is at most slightly loosened, and those suppressed demons and ghosts can only use some means from a distance, but their true bodies cannot come out. Secondly, if Chu Zhou wanted to take stock of how many sealed ancient immortals there were in this world, he would have to rely on the help of everyone. He would also issue tasks at the Yellow Crane Tower.
Any information about ancient immortal seals or records in various ancient books can be provided.
Xuanzhen Palace will also give contribution points based on the amount and importance of the information.
The right way is to know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle. Chu Zhou knows that all these matters will have to be solved by him in the end. Naturally, the more you understand, the more sure you will be.
This chat lasted for nearly two hours. Chu Zhou invited them to have lunch at Xuanzhen Palace before sending everyone out of the mountain gate.
Outside the mountain gate, there was still a sea of people. Chu Zhou stepped out of the mountain-protecting formation and showed his face.
Then, Baisha City became even more lively, with all kinds of news flying all over the sky, including the origins of those strange things, spreading all over the world as fast as possible.
Of course, the new mission on the Yellow Crane Tower has also attracted the attention of countless people.
I don’t know how many sects with a long history have begun to look through the dusty ancient books, trying to find some useful information from the ancient records.
In addition, the major sects, including the imperial court, began to contact the land gods behind them, such as the Sanqing Sect, the Ancient Temple Sect, the Dayun Imperial Court, Dayan, and the Golden Horde Khanate.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Some of them came back disappointed and gained nothing; but some of them got in touch and got the latest news.
There are only five of the thirteen land gods left, and the news that the master of the Xuanzhen Palace has become invincible in this world has also raised Chu Zhou's reputation to a higher level.
Of course, Chu Zhou didn't know this, and he didn't care if he knew it.
At this time, he was constantly patrolling everywhere in Xuanzhen Palace.
One year is not a long time, but for Xuanzhen Palace, which is under rapid construction, great changes have already occurred.
Not to mention other things, the palace alone is a stretch of nine hills, with twenty-three of various styles, as well as pavilions, rockeries, flowing water, bamboo forests and flower seas, medicinal fields and sacred places, to name just a few.
In fact, the construction has not stopped yet. The Construction Department's plans are even more ambitious. After the mountain closure, most of the disciples' contributions are in the tasks of working on these construction sites.
Under the leadership of Fan Zhong, Chu Zhou first visited various palaces and pavilions, then started from the Alchemy Hall, then went to the Weapon Refining Hall, Formation Hall, Fufa Hall, Beast Control Peak, Lingzhi Hall...
Just like that, they looked over one by one!
Among them, the most commendable one has to be Lingzhi Hall.
Although Chu Zhou was not here, the seeds of various spiritual plants were scattered and the opened spiritual fields were planted, and there was already a harvest.
It's not enough if you want to sell it to the outside world, but it's still fine for the sect's own use.
For immortal cultivators, ordinary food can no longer provide much help. Only these spiritual rice can have a full stomach and still have the effect of cultivation.
And the erysipelas is far less than the panacea, so it is an excellent supplement.
Next is the Talisman Hall. With Na Bai Nian joining, he has the experience of drawing talismans. With the immortal cultivation method of Xuanzhen Palace, he also has the mana required to draw talismans.
In this way, after all requirements are met, training will be much simpler.
Nowadays, there are seven junior talisman masters in Xuanzhen Palace, including Bai Nian and Wei Fangjie. Except for some of the talismans produced for their own use, most of them have been exchanged.
Among them, combat-type talismans are not used much, but auxiliary ones, such as armor-horse talisman, evil-suppressing talisman, transmission talisman, and ghost-repelling talisman, are very popular.
In fact, the warrior's frontal fighting power is never weak, but it is very lacking in dealing with various strange methods. These talismans are a good supplement.
Of course, in terms of expansion the fastest, it has to be Dantang.
In fact, after going to the secret realm, it is not difficult to find that the concentration of spiritual energy in the human world is not very high. Normal cultivation will reach the limit of Jindan Zhenren. It is almost impossible to become Yuanying Zhenjun.
Under this concentration of spiritual energy, if you want to improve your cultivation quickly, pills are a must.
Therefore, in the Yellow Crane Tower, "Fundamentals of Alchemy" is the most exchanged minor method, and almost all major sects are trying their best to train alchemists.
As for the various elixirs, they are in short supply. In the Yellow Crane Tower, if a batch is released, it will be gone within half an hour at most.
The reason why Cao Bao can live happily is because he has a certain degree of autonomy. When and how much of the elixir will be released, he can know immediately. Revealing a little inside information is enough to make people follow him.
And this has directly caused the elixirs in the world to become more and more expensive. Xuanzhen Palace only has its own medicine fields and the harvest of the mission system to supply what it needs.
So far, there are twelve alchemists in Xuanzhen Palace, including Qingjing Laodao and Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng is the most experienced and has already shown signs of being promoted to the second-level alchemist.
The ones with the least improvement are the Beast Control Peak and the Formation Hall.
Fan Tiehu carefully screened several disciples, but none of them were beginners in the formation. In other words, until now, Fan Tiehu was the only one supporting the scene.
Then there is the Royal Beast Peak. Not to mention large spiritual beasts such as cranes, there are not many spiritual birds such as chickens and ducks.
Although the major sects provided a lot, feeding and breeding were also technical tasks, and only a few disciples supported the facade of the entire Beast Control Peak.
As for the Weapon Refining Peak, it ranks first among many in terms of personnel, scale, and cost, but when it comes to results, there are some that cannot be ranked high or ranked low.
After all, Master Ouyang was a mortal blacksmith, and he was indeed a bit inferior to a weapon refiner. However, in this year, he also made one and a half types of magical weapons.
This half magic weapon refers to the divine weapon magic sword. It is made of refined spiritual iron as a material, and then a small amount of weapon patterns are inserted into it to form the simplest magic power cycle. It is considered to be half a magic weapon.
Although it is far inferior to a real flying sword and has a single effect, in the hands of a group of Xuanzhen Palace disciples, it can also exert great power. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a 'magic weapon'.
However, this kind of semi-finished product cannot reach the threshold of low-level magic weapon, so it can only be regarded as half.
Then there is the alchemy furnace, which Chu Zhou specially assigned to refine first.
The problem was still stuck in the burning of the weapon pattern, but Master Ouye still used the simplest yet most effective method.
That is to make the alchemy furnace bigger. When the alchemy furnace is bigger, there will be more places where the patterns can be burned. The technique can be rougher, as long as it can be used.
Xuanzhen Palace has cast a total of nine of these alchemy furnaces, sold five of them, and the remaining four are in the alchemy hall for personal use.
Although there are not many results, there are still some. It can be regarded as a breakthrough from scratch, and Chu Zhou is quite pleased.
The problem now is that Chu Zhou already has a secret realm and nine immortal palaces, as well as a group of immortal servants with good abilities,
What he struggled with was whether it would be a way to directly move everyone into the secret realm, or whether it would be a way to develop both sides at the same time.
Furthermore, how to use the Immortal Palace to give Xuanzhen Palace enough help?
How to use the platform of Ten Thousand Immortals City to provide Xuanzhen Palace with much-needed resources, as well as the future development direction of Xuanzhen Palace, which path to take, what special spiritual objects can be used as merchandise, etc...
It is worth mentioning that although the demon-dyed blue dragon was a big trouble, the merits exchanged for it now also solved Chu Zhou's start-up capital problem.
Now, it’s a matter of what you should buy and what you don’t need.
It should be said that there were too many things to worry about, and Chu Zhou had a headache. No one else could provide help except Hao Songqing, and Chu Zhou was ready to have a good chat with him and listen to his opinions.
In this way, time passed by in a hurry, and five days later, Yi Huai and Wei Fangjie returned safely, which made Chu Zhou relieved.
Furthermore, the ancient books he requested about sealing the ancient immortals already had some clues.
However, people did not expect that the person who provided the information this time was not the martial arts master, nor the three major courts, but the Immortal Killing Palace, one of the evil cults!
Today is Chinese Valentine's Day, and I wish all book friends and lovers will get married eventually!
