Chapter 60: Living in hiding and practicing, an old friend comes to visit
“Master, you are back.”
Tian Ming’an looked at Jiang Sheng in surprise.
Jiang Sheng has been away from Qingping Mountain for so long. During this time, the status of those who came to visit the mountain became higher and higher, and their cultivation level became deeper and deeper.
Although Tian Ming'an received Jiang Sheng's instructions, he was inevitably a little embarrassed.
Now that Jiang Sheng is back, Tian Mingan has a backbone.
"Who has come to visit me as a teacher?"
Jiang Sheng was in a good mood when he returned to Qingxuan Temple.
In his dojo, Jiang Sheng felt extremely comfortable.
Tian Ming'an quickly took out the greeting cards one after another: "This is the greeting card from senior Zha Liangping."
"This is a greeting card sent by senior Zhao Hong from the Zhao family in Hai County, saying that I have met you."
"Every major Zifu family in Qingzhou has sent greeting cards, as well as the Tianjian Sect. , Qingyun Sect and Lanyue Sect’s greetings.”
“As for those foundation-building families, there are more.”
Jiang Sheng smiled and waved his hand: “These things are not necessary. Pay attention."
Tian Ming'an said again: "Master, Qingyun Sect and Tianjian Sect also sent you a meeting gift."
Jiang Sheng casually took the gift list and looked at it. There was a series of materials listed on it.
Third-level spiritual gold, fire bronze stone, flame chalcedony, and black ice crystal
There are also third-level spiritual spirits such as Nine-leaf Zhizhi, Fulong Shen, Huan Xin Cao, and Five Willow Roots. medicine.
"This is really a great gift. Can they tell you why?" Jiang Sheng asked.
Tian Ming'an shook his head: "They didn't say why, they put down the invitation and left."
Jiang Sheng chuckled and threw the gift list to Tian Ming'an again: "After all, this is the Jindan sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the world's sophistication is really impeccable."
"Ming'an, find a side hall to use as a warehouse, and put the Keep all those things."
"When I have time to work as a master, I will use them for refining elixirs and refining weapons."
Tian Ming'an said with a smile. Take the order.”
After returning to Qingxuan Temple, Jiang Sheng resumed his peaceful practice again.
After sending the invitation, none of the three major sects or the eight major families in Qingzhou came to bother Jiang Sheng again, even if they knew that Jiang Sheng was back.
Jiang Sheng also lives in Qingping Mountain without going out at all, and the two parties maintain this rare tacit understanding.
Whether it is the three Jindan sects or the eight Zifu aristocratic families, they know Jiang Sheng's temperament very well.
Jiang Sheng is not the kind of person who will disturb the world once he succeeds.
Jiang Sheng, who was born in the Xuanmen orthodox sect, has an excellent mind. He is not burdened by external things and only focuses on cultivation.
This poses no threat to the original forces in Qingzhou and will not affect their status.
After all, Jiang Sheng is just cultivating here, and he may collect the medicine and return to Penglai at some point.
The dragon crossing the river has no influence on the local snakes, so no matter the aristocratic family or the sect, they are willing to have good relations with Jiang Sheng. After all, Jiang Sheng will not covet anything from them.
On the contrary, if a casual cultivator or a weak-minded person gains strength, they will turn the place upside down, eager to let others know how powerful they are.
And this kind of people will also compete with local sects and aristocratic families for resources and territory, affecting the stability of one party.
Due to emotions and reasons, the sects and aristocratic families in Qingzhou prefer Penglai masters like Jiang Sheng.
Those who come from the Xuanmen orthodox sect will not be any worse at what they do or how they behave.
The cold and summer come and go, and the years pass by gracefully.
The prestige of Qingxuan Temple on Qingping Mountain resounds throughout Qingzhou. Although Taoist Master Jiang Sheng has not shown up for several years, who among the practitioners in Qingzhou can forget the one who rebelled when he was building the foundation? Zifu, a Taoist master who kills the golden elixir with a sword in the Zifu realm?
On the top of the main peak of Qingping Mountain, Jiang Sheng flattened the top with a sword and took Tian Ming'an to practice here.
"Left, right, right, left!"
Tian Ming'an's difficult left and right moves resisted Jiang Sheng's offensive.
It was said to be an offensive, but in fact Jiang Sheng randomly picked up a branch to test Tian Ming'an's swordsmanship.
Looking at Tian Mingan's embarrassed appearance, Jiang Sheng sighed helplessly.
“With one breath, you can reveal three flaws.”
Tian Mingan lowered his head: "Master, your swordsmanship is extraordinary. Even if you lower your cultivation level, it is still not something that my disciple can resist."
Jiang Sheng couldn't help laughing and said: "You can praise me. People."
"That's it, let's stop here today."
After hearing this, Tian Ming'an stepped forward quickly: "Master, please tell me about Penglai."
< br>Jiang Sheng randomly found a smooth stone slab and sat down: "I can't tell you much about Penglai, but I can tell you about Yuanqiao."
"Yuan Qiao?" Tian Ming'an quickly sat down and waited for Jiang Sheng to continue.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Jiang Sheng had a slight smile on his face, as if he was recalling the past: "Yes, Yuanqiao is one of the outer islands of Penglai, and it is also the place where he has lived as a teacher for more than ten years. "
"Yuanqiao has a radius of thousands of miles, and there are millions of creatures on it, half of them are mortals and half of them are monks."
"Every hundred years, Yuanqiao will appear briefly. You can go out to sea to search for the creatures in the Yu continent. If you can find Yuan Qiao and pass the three passes, you will be eligible to worship in Penglai."
"My master also stayed in Yuan Qiao until he was fifteen years old, and then passed. After going through three passes, I joined the Dao Sect. "Tian Ming'an was a little confused: "Master, even with your status, can't you just join Penglai?"
Jiang Sheng couldn't help but laugh and said: "What is your identity as a teacher? Your teacher is just an orphan who was abandoned by your parents at birth."
"The old man who saved your teacher is also How can I be admitted to Penglai as a disciple if I am just an inner disciple?”
“Ming’an, do you know why there are so many mortals and monks in Yuanqiao, most of whom are disciples of Penglai? Tribesmen and disciples. "
"But even if they are the descendants of a certain elder, they are still not allowed to worship in Penglai if they cannot pass the three passes, and they can only live on the outer island. This is an iron rule."
"Penglai, it's not Penglai that belongs to one family."
Tian Ming'an couldn't help but look forward to it after hearing this.
Penglai is not a family with only one surname. Whether it is a disciple or a family member, they ignore their background and only look at their own abilities.
Only such a sect can be the best in the world, right?
"Don't think too much about these things. You need to practice hard, otherwise you won't be able to pass the three tests in the future. Don't think that your teacher can control you."
Jiang Sheng's voice was gentle, but Tian Ming'an knew the weight of this warning.
"Master, don't worry, my disciple will definitely be able to worship in Penglai in the future." Tian Mingan said solemnly.
Jiang Sheng said with a smile: "If you have the heart, practice hard. I don't know many masters, so I am pretty good at swordsmanship, making talismans, and alchemy."
" You don’t need to think too much now, just practice your sword skills and learn how to make talismans.”
After saying that, Jiang Sheng stood up and looked at Qingxuan Temple halfway up the mountain.
He has been in Qingping Mountain for nearly ten years, and the spiritual energy in Qingping Mountain has become more and more abundant. The spiritual veins hidden in the main peak are obviously not only the third level.
With such a spiritual vein, Jiang Sheng can practice peacefully until the late Zifu period, and then travel around the Eastern Continent to find his own opportunity to form elixirs.
To form a high-quality elixir, the essence, energy, and spirit must be round and flawless.
The opportunity to form an elixir does not only refer to the great medicine. The most important thing is to sharpen one's Taoist mind and understand one's nature while traveling through the mountains and rivers.
As for the elixir-forming medicine, it comes second.
The fourth-level treasure awarded to him by the master of the sect was the only one useful to the pill formation, and it was for this reason that the only thing useful was the Bodhi fruit.
"It's rare to have half a day's leisure in a floating life, so you can practice cultivation."
After that, Jiang Sheng flew down the mountain and returned to Qingxuan Temple to continue his retreat.
A few more years have passed, and the reputation of Qingxuan Temple on Qingping Mountain has become more and more famous in Qingzhou. The more Jiang Sheng does not show up, the more mysterious he is.
Now not only the monks in Qingzhou know that there is a genius living in seclusion in Qingzhou.
On this day, a young Taoist named Shi Shiran, wearing a mysterious robe and a green crown, came to Qingping Mountain.
The Taoist has a strong and handsome face, extraordinary bearing, and walks freely and naturally.
Arrived in front of Qingxuan Temple, looking at this clean and elegant Taoist temple, and after some reflections, the Taoist couldn't help but smile and said: "What a blessed place."
"This I invited a senior, I wonder why he came to Qingxuan Monastery?"
Tian Ming'an looked at the Taoist in front of him with some vigilance. This Taoist's strength is unfathomable. No matter how he looks at it, he can match his master. Compared.
Why isn't Tian Mingan wary?
When did such a profound Taoist come to Qingzhou?
"This Taoist boy, Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Yuanchen are practicing here?" The Taoist said with a smile.
Just as Tian Ming'an was about to speak, he heard his master's voice.
“May I ask which Jiang Sheng and which Jiang Yuanchen the distinguished guest is looking for?”
The Taoist smiled and said: "Of course it is Jiang Sheng from Yuanqiaoyu Town and Jiang Yuanchen from Penglai East Courtyard."
Jiang Sheng Shi Shiran came out of the meditation, looked at the Taoist in front of him, and suddenly smiled and said: " After fifteen years of separation from Penglai, how is Brother Yunxuan doing?"
"I am fine, but how is Brother Yuanchen?" the Taoist said with a smile.
Jiang Sheng laughed and said to Tian Ming'an: "This is Lin Fan, Lin Yunxuan, my good friend from the Taoist sect. You should call me Uncle Lin."
Tian Ming'an quickly paid his respects. : "Ming'an has met Uncle Lin."
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Brother Yuan Chen, this disciple is a smart one, and he will definitely be a figure in the future."
"When we first met, we had nothing to give. Previously in the Kingdom of Wei, my uncle beheaded a dragon. , a single horn for you to play with.”
As he said that, Lin Fan took out a six-foot-long dragon horn, and the ferocious meaning exuding from it all showed that this was. It is a dragon's horn that is about to form a pill.
Tian Mingan took the Jiao Jiao in a panic and quickly thanked him.
And Jiang Sheng had already led Lin Fan into the Taoist temple.
In the front hall, Lin Fan carefully sipped the tea, and then sighed with satisfaction: "I haven't drank this Kirigakure tea from Denxiandai for more than ten years. I knew that Brother Yuan Chen must have a treasure here. "Misty Hidden Tea."
Jiang Sheng said angrily: "I don't have much stock of this tea. Is it because you, Lin Yunxuan, came here just for this cup of tea?"
Lin Fan laughed loudly and then said seriously: "Of course not!"
"Lin's ambition is like a river running eastward and flowing into the sea. How can he be greedy for a cup of tea?"
" I came here this time to find an opportunity. Brother Yuan Chen, would you like to go with me?”
"What opportunity?" Jiang Sheng became interested. He was very curious about what good thing Lin Fan would travel thousands of miles to find.
Lin Fan said: "Water and Fire Spirit Pearl!"
