Chapter 287 Two thousand years, nothing more...
Thirty thousand miles east of Jiuchuan Daze of Qingfeng Taoist Academy, there is a stretch of mountains reaching into the clouds.
There are many mountains and mountains, and the mountains and rivers are picturesque. It happens to be early morning, and countless clouds and mists are rolling, like a winding dragon entrenched among the mountains, and the reflected mountains are as ethereal as a fairyland.
Among the mountains, there are four peaks that stand out from the crowd, rising high, piercing the sea of clouds, like the sky.
Cranes are flying, spiritual ginseng is everywhere, and the vegetation is mature. Occasionally, a boy wearing a Taoist robe is walking among the blue rocks on the cliff, bending down to collect medicine, and there is a spiritual ape carrying a basket beside him. It is a peaceful and tranquil scene.
On the central Lingfeng Peak, there are pavilions, pavilions, jade palaces and golden tiles, and countless buildings spiraling down the mountain, which is spectacular.
And on the top of the cliff, between the clouds and mist, there is a huge stone tablet. On the tablet are two large characters painted with silver hooks and iron: Yuanding!
"Junior Brother Gu, here we are, this is the mountain gate of Yuanding Sect, Danlong Mountain!"
At this moment, two rays of light, without covering up, were galloping from a distance. Come and land on the floating clouds.
The light dissipated, revealing two figures. The leader was not a human body, but an illusory human figure transformed into a ball of flames. However, the flames were solid, with hair and hair, and they looked almost the same as real people.
Behind the flaming figure was an extremely handsome young Taoist with a jade hairpin and long flowing sleeves. He was extremely tall and had a face like a crown of jade.
It was Master Xuanguang and Gu Yuan.
After the two discussed the matter of the Star Spirits on Qingyan Peak, Master Xuanguang took Gu Yuan and headed straight to the east, finally stopping outside the mountain gate of Yuanding Sect.
"Senior Brother, could it be that this Yuanding Sect has a place for good fortune?"
Gu Yuan looked at the towering Lingshan Mountain in front of him and asked curiously.
He also knew a little bit about the Yuanding Sect. Back then, Master Qiantai of this sect went to congratulate him during the Golden Elixir Ceremony.
It was just a place of creation, but he had never heard of it.
“You will know later!”
Master Xuanguang was put off and did not answer directly.
At this moment, a white crane suddenly flew out from the mountain, leaped above the clouds, and landed next to the two of them.
Above the white crane is a pretty female Taoist girl with red lips and white teeth, disguised as a man.
“I pay my respects to the two masters. The master ordered his disciples to come and lead the way for the two masters!”
The female Taoist boy jumped off the crane, tried her best to climb on the floating clouds and stood up, facing The two of them bowed respectfully and said crisply.
"Where is your senior brother? Why did you send you, a little guy who has not yet completed the foundation building and can't even climb the clouds and fly into the sky?"
Master Xuanguang seems to be very jealous of the Yuanding Sect. Familiar, he asked with a smile.
"Senior brother is out for training and not in the mountains, so the master sent his disciples to greet the two masters!"
The girl bowed again and said respectfully.
“Then let’s go!”
Hearing this, Master Xuanguang laughed loudly, waved his flaming sleeves, took the girl, turned into flowing fire, and headed towards a hidden place in Danlong Mountain The land flies away.
The Yuanding Sect's mountain-protecting formation seemed to have sensed the presence of the two of them a long time ago, and quietly opened a passage. Master Xuanguang flew towards the hidden place without any hindrance.
Looking at the situation, he smiled helplessly and could only follow.
“Violent!”
The remaining crane, seeing that its owner was missing, quickly flapped its wings and chased after the few people.
……
……
Danlong Mountain has a unique terrain. The top of the mountain stands oval, and there are dark scorch marks on the cliff. From a distance, it looks like a huge stone cage sitting on the earth.
And because the Yuanding Sect was good at refining elixirs, this mountain was named Danlong Mountain.
On the top of Danlong Mountain, there is a bronze hall. The hall is not luxurious. On the contrary, it has a simple and old feel.
The furnishings in the palace are even more primitive. There is only a gray stone staircase that spirals down and extends deep into the ground.
The entire hall seems to have been built to cover up this stone staircase. On the pillars, there are countless formations that flicker on and off. On the tiles, lightning flashes, as if a thunder strike may be launched at any time. .
Gu Yuan followed Master Xuanguang, walking on the stone steps all the way down. Although his face was calm, he was very vigilant in his heart.
This stone step seems to be connected to the Yuanding Sect's mountain-protecting formation, and its power is extraordinary. Gu Yuan estimates that with his current strength, it will be difficult to compete.
Fortunately, the formation was not activated and everything was fine.
Under the leadership of Master Xuanguang, Gu Yuan went straight down the stone steps and finally came to a huge grotto.
The entire Tanlong Mountain seems to have been hollowed out, and this grotto is at the bottom of the mountain.
The grotto is huge and empty, and the rich spiritual energy rushes towards the face. I don't know what is placed in the cave. It is as bright as day. There is actually an alchemy furnace hall in the cave, which is tens of feet high, showing the vastness of the grotto.
In front of the main hall, an old man wearing a black and yellow Taoist robe, with white beard and hair, and aged eyes, was looking at the two of them with a smile.
Unlike the ordinary golden elixir with its white hair and childlike appearance, this old man really has an air of old age and twilight in his body, quietly exuding it.
He is the oldest golden elixir monk of the Yuanding Sect, Master Qiantai, who is in the middle stage of golden elixir cultivation.
“Fellow Taoist Xuanguang, I haven’t seen you for a long time, how come you have become like this?”
Master Chitose couldn't help but asked in surprise when he saw Master Xuan Guang covered in flames and completely disembodied.
"Don't mention it. I was almost killed by a demon thief if I didn't pay attention. Fortunately, Junior Brother Gu came to help, otherwise I might have passed away before Brother Dao!"
Xuan Guang 1 The person couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Oh? Master Donghua already has such a method?"
Master Chitose looked at Gu Yuan in surprise, with surprise in his eyes.
"I have met Master Qiantai!"
Gu Yuan stretched out his hand to bow and bowed.
Master Chitose also smiled and saluted, the two of them had met before.
“Silly boy, why don’t you go make some tea!”
Master Chitose led Gu Yuan and the two of them to sit down at a jade table in the Alchemy Palace, and then faced the girl shouted.
The girl responded obediently and then went to the palace. Within a moment, she came up with several cups of spiritual tea.
The spirit tea is sweet and refreshing, and Gu Yuan can't help but admire it.
Master Xuanguang sighed helplessly, opened his mouth and inhaled the spirit tea directly into his belly, but it was already vaporized before he could even take it into his mouth.
“My fellow Taoist looks like this, doesn’t it mean he can’t enjoy his food and drink?”
When Master Chitose saw this, he immediately said with a smile.
"Being able to save a life without losing my cultivation level is already a blessing. How can I ask for more?"
Master Xuanguang shook his head helplessly.
This Yuan Chen Fire Body was originally created to save life and fight. It did not consider the seven emotions and six desires. Even if it is practiced to the greatest extent, it is not a human body after all and cannot eat normally.
"Does that fellow Taoist come here today to use this opportunity to re-create his human body?"
Master Chitose put down the tea and asked Master Xuanguang.
He has lived for nine hundred years. He has had many interactions with Qingfeng Taoist Temple. He is very familiar with the Taoist's major seals. He knows that Yuan Chen Fire Body Seal needs a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to re-cast the human body.
Master Xuanguang is a master of golden elixir refining, with extraordinary methods. The Yuanding Sect once owed a huge favor, and this time he probably came here just to ask for the favor.
"To be honest, Brother Dao, I really wanted to take advantage of that opportunity when I came here this time, but it was not for me, but for Junior Brother Gu!"
Master Xuanguang nodded slightly, But the words that came out of his mouth surprised Master Chitose.
“Such an opportunity comes only once in hundreds of years. Why don’t fellow Taoists take this opportunity to reshape their human body?”
Master Chitose did not hide his thoughts. Even in front of Gu Yuan, he bluntly asked his doubts.
"The soul and golden elixir are all there, and it does not affect your practice. It doesn't matter if you cast the human body later, but Junior Brother Gu can't delay it!"
Master Xuanguang waved his hand, as if he didn't care. Gu Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, thinking about Master Xuan Guang's previous actions, and he was thoughtful, but he did not refuse this opportunity.
“Oh, Master Donghua has any request, but please say it!”
Seeing that the two of them seemed to have already agreed, Master Chitose refrained from asking any more questions and looked directly at Gu Yuan.
"Senior brother said that your sect has a treasure land that can help the star spirits advance, so I dare to come here to seek the opportunity!"
Gu Yuan cupped his hand and said with a smile.
“Star Spirit?!”
“Master Donghua is such a good opportunity!”
Master Chitose was shocked, and looked at Gu Yuan in surprise, and then couldn't help but sigh: "Fellow Xuanguang once had a great favor from our Yuanding sect. This favor is deeply appreciated by our sect, so I agreed, as long as Taoist friend Xuanguang If you open your mouth, you will definitely be able to help me.”
“I don’t know who my friend is. What kind of spiritual materials are needed to advance?”
“Dragon Elephant Fruit, which is more than a thousand years old, is of fourth-level quality. The Ice Soul Cold Rhinoceros Jade!"
Gu Yuan said in a deep voice.
“Dragon Elephant Fruit, Ice Soul Cold Rhinoceros Jade!”
Master Chitose pondered slightly, and then said to the girl standing beside him: "Go to the treasure house and get a dragon elephant fruit and a jade seed."
"Yes, master!"
The girl responded crisply, then recited the spell and quickly walked towards the Alchemy Palace behind her.
Not long after, the girl came out holding a jade plate with two things on it.
An ice-blue fruit that exudes cold air and seems to have the shadow of a dragon and an elephant intersecting.
A crystal clear, bullet-sized transparent jade.
"Moo!"
As if feeling the breath of the Dragon Elephant Fruit, the star spirit that had been sleeping for a long time in Gu Yuan's body stretched its body, wanting to transform and pounce on fruit.
But he was stopped by Gu Yuan.
This Dragon Elephant Fruit cannot last more than a hundred years and is not enough to help the Star Spirits advance.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, do you have to have both of these things to advance as a star spirit, or do you only need one thing?"
Looking at the two things on the jade plate, Master Chitose asked in a deep voice. .
“It is best to have two things.”
“Only one thing is fine, but the age and grade required are probably much higher.”
Gu Yuan replied.
"If there is only one Dragon Elephant Fruit, how many years will it take?"
Chitose Master asked again.
“Two thousand years!”
Gu Yuan pondered slightly, his thoughts stirred up the stars, and then he answered.
Spiritual objects that are two thousand years old are treasures no matter where they are placed, let alone strange things like the Dragon Elephant Fruit that can only be born by "chance".
But Master Chitose breathed a sigh of relief: "Two thousand years is still within the capabilities of our sect, otherwise I am afraid I will disappoint fellow Taoists!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuan felt even more excited. curious.
What is the secret treasure of the Yuanding Sect? They don’t care about the treasures of heaven and earth for two thousand years?
“This matter is our sect’s biggest secret and has never been publicized to the outside world, but fellow Taoist Xuanguang has already seen it, so I will not hide it from fellow Taoist Gu, but please do not publicize it to the outside world!”< br>
Master Chitose said solemnly.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, it won't be spread to outsiders!"
Gu Yuan nodded cautiously.
Perhaps because of Master Xuanguang's affection, Master Chitose did not ask Gu Yuan to swear an oath and restraint. He just nodded with a smile after receiving a guarantee, and then stood up directly.
"Two fellow Taoists, please follow me!"
Master Chitose led the girl, strode forward, and took the lead towards the back of the palace.
Behind the Alchemy Hall, there is a green jade path. Both sides of the path are planted with slender spiritual bamboos, which are lush and quiet.
But Gu Yuan felt a tremor in his heart.
This bamboo forest is full of murderous intent!
There is a superb third-level formation hidden in it. Gu Yuan feels that every spiritual bamboo seems to be a sharp sword. As long as someone breaks in, a thousand swords will pierce the heart in an instant. .
But under the leadership of Master Chitose, everything went smoothly.
The green jade path is not long, but it will reach the end in about ten breaths.
At the end of the trail, there is a stone pool.
On the left and right side of the stone pool, there is a circle of strange, square, seal-like objects, stacked on top of each other, forming the outline of the stone pool.
“This is...the seal?!”
After walking in, Gu Yuan discovered that, like stones, what stood out of the stone pool were not other objects, but strange pieces The seal of the law!
Hundreds of seals, like pebbles, are stacked together to form the rock wall of the stone pool.
In the pool, there is a transparent water flow. The water flow is not deep, but there is a dense air floating out, turning into seven colors, condensing into the shape of mountains and rivers, the scenery of stars and the sun, It condenses but never disperses, flows slowly, and is extremely magical.
Through the clear water, a square of dark soil can be seen settling beneath it.
“Spiritual Soil?!”
Gu Yuan’s mind swept away and he immediately recognized the origin of this spiritual soil.
And in the center of the spiritual soil, a golden seal shines brightly, attracting countless earth essences and mountain essences, converging into a ball of dense brilliance that flickers endlessly.
It is precisely because of the existence of this golden seal that the seals stacked on the left and right of the stone pool can be condensed and not dispersed, and can be gathered together for a long time.
Golden Seal, Spiritual Soil, Dharma Seal, and some mysterious methods that Gu Yuan couldn't explain, all came together to form this unique Lingtan.
“This pool is the foundation left by the founder of the sect, and it is also the greatest foundation for our sect’s existence to this day.”
“The pool of good fortune!”
Looking at the Lingtan in front of him, Master Chitose's eyes were full of memories and emotions.
At this time, Gu Yuan also saw clearly the seal patterns on the gold seal.
“The Four Seasons Palm Year Seal!”
“Dragon Elephant Fruit that is two thousand years old is rare, but it is not impossible in my Creation Life Pond. Fellow Taoist, please give me a moment. Wait!”
After sighing slightly, Master Chitose immediately picked up the dragon elephant fruit that was less than a century old from the jade plate held by the girl.
"Go!"
He murmured to himself, recited a strange incantation, and then reached out and threw the dragon elephant fruit into the spiritual pool.
“Boom!”
The Dragon Elephant Fruit entered the pond and was split open by the water in an instant. The pulp was separated, leaving only a core, deeply embedded in the spiritual soil.
Then the golden seal shone brightly, and countless brilliance rose up. In an instant, the essence of the earth and the essence of the mountains that had been accumulated for hundreds of years moved together.
In the pond, the earth's veins suddenly changed, and in an instant, it became bone-chilling and cold air overflowed.
“Bang!”
The spiritual soil was pushed open, and a bud broke out of the ground. Then it swelled in the wind, but in an instant it turned into a green sapling, and then grew bigger and bigger. It grew taller and taller, and in just a few breaths, it turned into a towering tree ten feet high.
Under the giant tree, a huge ice-blue fruit blooms and bears fruit, and its spiritual energy years continue to increase.
Under Gu Yuan's shocked gaze, two thousand years passed quietly!
