Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"Is it really you... Lu Tiandu?"

The old man on the futon had a wrinkled face, small eyes, and a hint of smoothness in his eyes. He seemed to be about to stand up and salute, but suddenly stopped calling Lu Tiandu, his voice trembled for an instant, and his face suddenly became frozen.

Yue Zhen had already gone out at this time, but he never heard Xiang Zhili's words filled with surprise and other emotions.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for more than two hundred years. Don't you know Senior Brother Xiang?"

Lu Tiandu laughed and walked into the Scripture Collection Pavilion, "Or is it that for the past few months, Senior Brother Xiang has been cultivating quietly in the Tianfumen Scripture Collection Pavilion and has not heard any news from the outside world?"

Speaking of which, Lu Tiandu showed a half-smiling look.

"The late Nascent Soul monk who is more than 200 years old is really incredible!"

Xiang Zhili's small eyes were gleaming at this moment, and there was no smoothness as before, "And it seems like you know a lot about my identity?"

Xiang Zhili showed a strong expression of curiosity after speaking.

"Fortunately, I have some opportunities."

Lu Tiandu smiled slightly, "As for Senior Brother Xiang, as one of the few surviving cultivators of God Transformation in the Jin Dynasty, how could I not know?"

"Is there any chance? Junior brother Lu is too modest!"

Xiang Zhili looked Lu Tiandu up and down and said without comment, "I have read through many classics, and a three hundred year old monk in the late Nascent Soul stage has also recorded it, but I have never heard of one who is more than two hundred years old. What's more, Junior Brother Lu, you are leaving The path of Dharma body practitioners that the ancient monks seldom followed..."

Xiang Zhili had a stern look on his face and suddenly said softly:

"It seems that fellow Taoist must have a big secret!"

"Yes, who can reach the late Nascent Soul stage without a chance or a secret?"

Lu Tiandu laughed and looked at Xiang Zhili with a smile, "Is Senior Brother Xiang still interested in the secrets of your body?"

"A bit curious indeed."

Xiang Zhili did not hide his true thoughts at all and nodded, "I heard your news on the eve of the Jinjing auction. It really surprised me at the time. But the news that came later was even more shocking. Oh, originally I thought you were taken away by some old monster, but this time I saw that it was not the case..."

Xiang Zhili recalled the scene when he and Lu Tiandu first met in Yellow Maple Valley and participated in the blood ban trial, and he was still a little shocked.

Although there have been some speculations before, Xiang Zhili is still a little unbelievable that Lu Tiandu, who was a small Qi refining monk more than 200 years ago, has now become a big monk who can easily kill the same level. .

"Curiosity killed the cat!"

Lu Tiandu shook his head, looked at the white-haired old man a few feet away from him, and chuckled, "I advise Senior Brother Xiang not to have other thoughts."

"Oh? It seems that Junior Brother Lu is very confident in his own strength!"

Xiang Zhili laughed loudly, with a bit of inexplicable meaning in his tone, "Although you can easily kill monks of the same level, your combat power is indeed amazing. But... I'm afraid you have a limited understanding of the strength of the monks who transform into gods..."

"Senior Brother Xiang doesn't think that only Dajin has god-transforming monks, right?"

Lu Tiandu said with a half-smile, "Although I heard that Senior Brother Xiang is known as the No. 1 Transformation God in the Jin Dynasty and has extraordinary magical powers and treasures, after all, Senior Brother Xiang, you are only a monk in the early stage of Soul Transformation. If you and I fight alone, I have three I am 40% certain to kill you, and more than 70% certain to seriously injure you... And since your strength will be greatly reduced from now on, there is absolutely no possibility for you to sneak into the spirit world safely through the space node..."

"Huh? It seems that Junior Brother Lu has also met other god-forming monks? And he is also confident in his own strength!"

Hearing Lu Tiandu's words, Xiang Zhili was shocked.

It is really incredible that Lu Tiandu even knows about secrets such as the consumption of essence by the monks of the Transformation God, which will greatly reduce their lifespan, and the fact that the Transformation Gods are looking for safe space nodes to sneak into the spirit world.

What made him even more unwilling to believe was that Lu Tiandu, a Nascent Soul cultivator, could seriously injure or kill a God-Transformation cultivator who tried his best. Is it true?

"This is natural. Apart from Senior Brother Xiang, I have met two other god-transformation monks."

Lu Tiandu spoke calmly, paused, and continued:

"Since you know my fellow cultivator, if I tell you, even if the top-level ancient treasure hits me, it won't cause any harm to me. I don't know how many times you need to hit me with the spiritual treasure in your hand, Brother Xiang, to break my defense. ? What’s more, my speed is not weaker than that of the God Transformation cultivator..."

Lu Tiandu said as he stretched out his hand, and two black beads appeared in his hand, "Besides, I still have two 'immortal-destroying beads' in my hand. If I get close to fellow Taoist, how many times can I hold on? As for the transformation?" The power of divine monks to drive part of the vitality of heaven and earth is indeed extremely fatal to ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul monks. Unfortunately, again, I am a monk who is accomplished in body refining..."

"So, does Senior Brother Xiang still think what I said is false?"

After speaking, Lu Tian looked at Xiang Zhili with a half-smile.

"If what you said is true, it is indeed very possible."

After a moment of silence, Xiang Zhili suddenly spoke.

Lu Tiandu's words once again made Xiang Zhili, the god-transformation monk, take a closer look at Lu Tiandu, and he became increasingly troubled by Lu Tiandu's strength.

From the moment he knew that Lu Tiandu was not kidnapped, but that he had cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage in just over two hundred years, Xiang Zhili guessed that there must be a big secret in this kid Lu Tiandu.

Moreover, this kind of big secret might be of great help to him sneaking into the spirit world. Therefore, after hearing Lu Tiandu confess that he had a secret without caring, Xiang Zhili also took advantage of the opportunity to explore it.

But now one look at it, and one can tell that he still underestimated Lu Tiandu.

If it takes the price of being seriously injured, losing strength, and ultimately unable to sneak into the spirit world to seize a treasure that may help him sneak into the spirit world, Xiang Zhili will naturally not make such a loss-making deal at the moment.

"After such a long time, haven't you noticed anything strange, Senior Brother Xiang?"

Looking at Xiang Zhili who looked silent, Lu Tiandu suddenly said.

"what?"

Xiang Zhili glanced at Lu Tiandu, released his huge spiritual consciousness and instantly scanned the entire Tianfu Sect, wondering.

"Oh, since I haven't noticed it until now, why don't you take a look back, Senior Brother Xiang?"

Lu Tiandu smiled slightly and reminded.

Xiang Zhili's expression condensed. He didn't know why he felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.

He turned around suddenly, and instantly, in the void two feet away from him, a figure with a blood-robed golden face and blood-red eyes stood in the void, staring at him coldly.

"What? Who is fellow Taoist?"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Xiang Zhili's back, and he said in surprise.

Ever since he suddenly saw traces of Lu Tiandu in this Sutra Pavilion, Xiang Zhili had already released his spiritual consciousness to cover this pavilion, but he never expected that this person would appear behind him. If he were to attack instantly...

What kind of invisibility secret is this? Unable to even detect his spiritual consciousness? Thinking of this, the old man Xiang Zhili felt a chill in his heart.

"You can call me the golden-masked man!" A cold voice came from under the mask of the ancient demon's clone.

"Hehe, if this senior Jin wanted to kill Senior Brother Xiang, just now, Senior Brother Xiang, you have died countless times."

Lu Tiandu chuckled, "I can seriously injure fellow Taoist before escaping, but this senior Jin can easily kill Senior Brother Xiang even if he faces him..."

"So, Senior Brother Xiang understands why I don't have any worries after seeing you, right?"

At this moment, the ancient demon's clone had emerged from invisibility, as if it had walked out of another space in an instant. Xiang Zhili's cultivation was both fearful and unfathomable, instantly dispelling some of his thoughts.

"Could this person be the mysterious monk who appeared at the auction?"

This thought suddenly flashed through Xiang Zhili's mind.

If there is such a person, no wonder they don't take the Heavenly Demon Sect seriously.

"It turns out to be Fellow Taoist Jin. I wonder where Fellow Daoist comes from?"

Although the golden-faced and blood-robed man in front of him seemed to be in the early stage of becoming a god, for some reason, as soon as his divine consciousness swept over this man, he gave him an unusually terrifying feeling, which suddenly made Xiang Zhili even more alarmed and suspicious. .

"It's just a nameless place."

The ancient demon clone was still very cold.

"This time, Xiang is being abrupt."

He bowed his hands in salute.

Seeing Xiang Zhili who was still a little nervous, Lu Tiandu smiled secretly.

If there were no trump cards like the Ancient Demon Clone, even if Lu Tiandu knew that he could hide in the world of stone beads at any time, he would not take the initiative to meet Xiang Zhili in such a big way.

And Xiang Zhili's reaction before was enough to show that as long as the benefits are big enough, these old monsters who are bent on ascension will still kill people and seize treasures.

"Senior Brother Xiang came to Tianfu Sect to investigate the three secret talismans of Tianfu Sect?"

Lu Tiandu took the initiative to change the topic.

"That's true. I checked the classics and found that the Tianfu Sect had three secret talismans during its heyday, each with its own magical uses. Among them is a secret talisman called the 'Six-Ding Tianjia Talisman', which has incredible defensive power. This trip is just for the refining of this talisman. The method..."

Xiang Zhili didn't hide it either. Since Lu Tiandu and the blood-robed man suddenly came to such a small sect, he couldn't think of any other reason besides these three secret talismans.

"Oh."

Lu Tiandu nodded, naturally he would not mention that he had the method of refining the Six-Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman in his hand.

In the future, when he or the women in the harem have a thorough understanding and can refine the talisman, it is not impossible to trade it with the old man as long as he can offer something of equal value.

After a few more pleasantries, Xiang Zhili breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that both Lu Tiandu and Lu Tiandu had no intention of taking action, and directly chose to leave.

"This old guy is really naughty!"

Lu Tiandu chuckled and shook his head.

In response to the spiritual consciousness of the ancient demon's clone, Xiang Zhili left the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion and went straight to the door of Tianfu in an invisible manner. He was extremely decisive.

Lu Tiandu didn't care and opened a large number of scripture-depositing pavilions at will.

A few days later, when he heard Yue Zhen's invitation to Lu Tiandu to become the guest elder of the three small sects, Lu Tiandu did not refuse and agreed.

As for the spirit-transforming talisman and other treasures taken out from Tianfu Sect, Lu Tiandu naturally accepted them casually.

Time flies, two years later.

In the Yaochi Tower and the Danding Pavilion, Lu Tiandu looked at the colorful giant pictures floating in the air and smiled slightly:

"Now that the refining of the magic weapon has been completed, it's almost time. It's time to head to southern Xinjiang..."

……

More than three months later, after Lu Tiandu crossed several counties and prefectures from the eastern part of the Jin Dynasty, Dunguang appeared in Nanjiang County.

Southern Xinjiang is one of the few places in the world that is not controlled by large sects. The resources in the county are occupied and divided by more than a dozen medium-sized sects.

Although these sects usually fight among themselves, once other forces invade southern Xinjiang, they will immediately unite to fight against the enemy. Even those sects among the ten sects of good and evil have never been able to invade them, and they have become a country of their own in the Jin Dynasty.

The occurrence of this situation has a lot to do with the fact that the Southern Xinjiang sect is very exclusive and has its own system of cultivation techniques.

Most of the techniques practiced by these sects are sinister techniques that are rare in the world of immortality. They are not only good at using poison, expelling insects and other rare techniques, but they are also superb at cursing and evil arts. If monks of the same level fight with them, they will be killed if they are not careful. He was inexplicably poisoned, and it was really impossible to prevent him.

This is also the main reason why the big sects are not willing to go head-to-head with the Southern Xinjiang sects easily. Otherwise, if several sects join forces and struggle to lose their vitality, they will not be able to seize this county by force.

Chaoyun Mansion is located in the western part of Southern Xinjiang. Shuangscorpion Mountain is an inaccessible mountain range in Chaoyun Mansion. Miasma is always shrouded within a radius of hundreds of miles. It is impossible to enter this mountain range unless you have advanced cultivation or have taken pills to overcome miasma in advance.

This mountain range is quite famous in southern Xinjiang. Due to the favorable geographical location and poisonous gas, not only do several valuable poisonous weeds grow in the mountains, but they are also rich in two types of poisonous scorpions: iron tail and red thread. They are the best way for local low-level monks to use deworming techniques. Good spirit insect.

When Lu Tiandu arrived near this mountain, it was during the annual miasma explosion in Shuangscorpion Mountain, and many monks gathered near the mountain. Because only during this period will most of the two poisonous scorpions appear from caves to look for food, which is really an excellent opportunity to catch poisonous insects.

Lu Tiandu arrived here a month in advance, naturally preparing to capture a batch of poisonous insects to feed spiritual beasts.

As for the Yin Yang Cave, as one of the seven Jedi recognized by the Jin Dynasty, it is located under an abandoned mineral vein called Ten Thousand Poison Valley in the largest virgin forest in southern Xinjiang.

The Yin-Yang Cave naturally means that once you enter it, you will immediately be separated from Yin and Yang. Not to mention anything else, just the frightening wind in the cave all year round, even if the Nascent Soul monk is blown, the soul of the Nascent Soul will immediately fly away and be reincarnated.

Not to mention that the cave is located in a place of mysterious Yin, where the Yin Qi gathers all year round, and all kinds of powerful and abnormal ghosts have already been born in the cave. If a stranger enters it, even if he can withstand the Yin wind, he will be torn to pieces by the numerous ghosts.

The Yin-Yang Grotto is located thousands of feet underground, with large and small passages crisscrossing it, and numerous caves of various kinds. In the past, some monks were lucky enough to reach the bottom, but they were unable to detect the size of it at all.

In that kind of place, once the spiritual consciousness is released from the body, it will be blocked by the evil wind, just like an ordinary person. There are even rumors that there may be an extremely powerful ghost king hidden deep in the cave, but it has never been confirmed. Anyway, even the great monks are not willing to risk going deep there.

This was the first reaction that appeared in the minds of many monks in the Jin Dynasty when they mentioned Yin Yang Cave.

Yin Yang Cave After January, it is the weakest season of the Yin Wind cycle that occurs every twenty years. During this period, it is most appropriate to go underground.

One month later, it was the date he had agreed to meet with the Bai sisters and Fucheng. (End of chapter)
