Immortality is above

Chapter 131 Chapter 130: Mission back to the mountain (Happy New Year)

This house has an elegant name, "Tingyuxuan", which is quite poetic and picturesque, and fits the temperament of the seventh senior brother Mo Xuanyi. Although he looks smooth on the outside, he is actually quite sad in his heart.

Chen Liubai was placed in a small, clean courtyard with simple facilities and no luxury at all. But those furniture things are not simple. Each piece is an old object and has its own spiritual characteristics.

And a "Spirit Gathering Array" has been arranged in the entire Tingyu Pavilion.

This formation is not a big formation, it is quite common. Anyone with a certain status will set one up in their residence to gather the spiritual energy of the world and improve the efficiency of cultivation.

In the land of Immortal Dynasty, although there is spiritual energy between heaven and earth, it is mixed and impure. It would take a lot of effort to absorb it directly.

Therefore, the formation method is needed to add a process, which is equivalent to the function of a filter, so that after the spiritual energy is purified, it will be twice the result with half the effort when breathing out.

This is a novel experience for Chen Liubai. He made a slight adjustment and soon began to fall into trance, releasing the Yin Shen, as if he was a fish trapped in the mire, and finally came to the stream, where he could swim and play to his heart's content.

In the martial arts stage, the core content of training is to strengthen Qi, blood and Yuanqi; when you successfully transform into a god and embark on the road to immortality, the key to training lies in the yin god, so that it can be continuously promoted, from a yin god to a yang god. , the final union...

But those things were too far away. Chen Liubai didn't think too much about it. He only focused on the present, eagerly breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Tingyuxuan...

The logic behind it is simple: there is strength in numbers.

This is all because the mountain gate is above it, and if there is no one to guide him, Chen Liubai will not be able to enter through it.

What's more, the "divine destiny" mentioned by the elders of Shanmen is too mysterious and vague. Who can understand it clearly for ordinary people?

Not to mention that Chen Liubai had not yet transformed into a god at that time, even Mo Xuanyi himself, who had been transformed into a god for many years, was just looking at things in the fog and was confused.

"Well, they say that those who cultivate immortality are those who cultivate transcendence and detachment. What kind of thing is this?"

The mountain gate where Mo Xuanyi is located belongs to the old sect, so there are very few brothers and sisters of the same generation.

This is not an expulsion, but it is a kind of "exile".

Apart from being bored, there was one happy thing, which was the reunion with my junior brother.

This little junior brother was met by a Taoist from a soulless place, and was given a flat peach, whose hair and marrow were cut and marrow washed, and then brought to the mountain.

Many problems actually had their roots when the Taoist Court was first established. One of them is that "there are too many hills and there are many factions."

However, the decision of the elders of the Shanmen had its own reasons and intentions, and no one in the sect questioned or opposed it.

With the word "old" in its name, it can be imagined that it has gradually fallen out of the mainstream.

Times have changed, and the rules of immortality are constantly changing. Many sects have opened their doors and held various selection competitions to attract new disciples and thereby increase their own strength.

……

Mo Xuanyi has no intention of coveting that opportunity. On the immortal path, everyone has their own opportunity, so there is nothing to say.

ten years?

Five years?

Mo Xuanyi looked at the case file and felt anxious, so she pushed it away.

They could only wish Chen Liubai could hold on and get out of the predicament smoothly.

These Shanmen sects are called "old sects".

However, what is surprising is that despite his excellent performance in all aspects, after ten years of doing chores, he was actually said by the elders of the mountain gate that he had "missed the opportunity" and sent him down the mountain to go back to his hometown.

In contrast, there are some monasteries that still maintain the ancient style and rules of immortality. They believe that cultivating immortals is not about opening a door to do business or a bustling vegetable market, but paying more attention to one's mind and destiny.

In fact, in the past hundred years, the mountain had only accepted one new disciple, Chen Liubai.

After his junior brother Chen Liubai came to the mountain, he quickly showed his extraordinary talent, learned things quickly, and had a quiet, humble and lovable personality.

As one of the most important immortal sects in the world, it has extremely high requirements for accepting disciples. To say "there is only one among ten thousand" is an understatement.

Mo Xuanyi came to Nanling City to deal with important matters.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked around the room.

If you are a person with a weak will and character, you will probably become depressed or even give up on yourself if you are hit by this.

But what Mo Xuanyi never expected was that just two or three years later, Chen Liubai successfully transformed into a god and came back on his own.

As for how long the entire process will take, no one knows.

As for the interior of the Taoist court, various problems also arise due to certain reasons.

In the courtyard study on the other side, Mo Xuanyi was checking a case file.

Recruiting disciples, each of these new disciples has basic qualifications. After getting started, they compete with each other. As long as one of a hundred people can stand out, he will make money. The other ninety or so also have their own role to play, which is equivalent to adding bricks and mortar and making their own contribution to the sect.

Of course, it was only the Daqian Immortal Dynasty that returned, not Shanmen.

This approach is quite different from other mountains.

Over the years, the world has been in turmoil, the Daqian Immortal Dynasty has been troubled internally and externally, and life has not been as prosperous and prosperous as it seems on the surface;

The blow to Chen Liubai can be imagined, and he will definitely feel that he has been kicked out.

In the system order of the Taoist court, "jiujiu" is a higher official rank than "jiaoyu". If "jiaoyu" is the "magistrate", then "jiujiu" belongs to the "magistrate", which is higher. Above, it is called "big sacrificial wine" and so on.

Mo Xuanyi thought: Since my junior brother can transform into a god in a soulless place, he must have found his own opportunity.

And or longer...

As it develops to this day, these problems are entangled together, like a mess, becoming more and more difficult, and the end is too big to be lost.

If you don't want to see your junior brother being kind, he will become a dog after cultivating immortality for hundreds of years.

Mo Xuanyi hopes to help Chen Liubai return to the mountain as soon as possible and truly embark on the path to immortality.

However, this matter is special, and you need to ask the elders of the mountain gate for instructions. If you take Chen Liubai back rashly, it will be self-defeating, and it will be difficult to handle.

"what?"

Suddenly, Mo Xuanyi raised his head as if he had realized something. At this moment, he felt that the spiritual energy in the room was strange, as if it was subject to some huge suction force, flowing outside like water.

Mo Xuanyi stepped out to take a look, and suddenly understood, he couldn't help but murmured: "My junior brother has climbed mountains and waded all the way from the soulless land. I don't know how much he has suffered. That Yin Shen is probably 'starving'..." But if you suck it so hard all at once, going too far will cause damage."

He was about to go over and make a strong statement and give some persuasion, but then he thought: How could Chen Liubai not be clear about such a basic truth?

Since you have a sense of proportion, why should others keep chattering?

Sure enough, half an hour later, the spiritual energy movement gradually calmed down and returned to normal.

Mo Xuanyi has been paying attention to this situation. After careful calculation, he was secretly surprised: almost half of the spiritual energy condensed in the formation had been absorbed.

According to previous estimates, with Chen Liubai's current cultivation level, he should be able to absorb one-fifth of it, which should be enough.

The operating principle of the Spirit Gathering Array is to purify it on the one hand, and store it on the other hand. It is not easy to store it fully. Just like digging a well, well water resources mainly depend on geological soil conditions.

"The Yin Shen condensed by my junior brother looks extraordinary."

Mo Xuanyi didn't feel sorry for Ling Qi, but felt pleasantly surprised and was really happy for Chen Liubai.

……

Chen Liubai entered trance this time, which lasted for about three days. He performed a weekly breath every day. Finally, he exhausted all the spiritual energy stored in the spirit gathering array and could not make ends meet, so he walked out.

Looking at the energetic Chen Liubai, Mo Xuanyi joked: "Junior brother, you have had a great time these three days, but you have swallowed up all the spiritual energy here."

Chen Liubai smiled sheepishly: "This is the first time I've officially done this breathing exercise, and I'm a bit addicted."

Mo Xuanyi laughed: "It won't take long before you get used to it. In fact, it's just like eating and drinking in the ordinary world. Besides, the aura of heaven and earth is here. If you don't absorb it, others will too." Will come and devour it.”

Chen Liubai asked: "If everyone has to breathe out, will the spiritual energy be exhausted?"

"Good question."

Mo Xuanyi sighed: "The Daqian Immortal Dynasty is currently facing such a crisis, and the Taoist court has set up a special position for this purpose, called the 'spiritual measuring officer', who is mainly responsible for measuring the number of people in each region in different years. The concentration of spiritual energy. Over the years, according to the statistical data reported by them, it has been decreasing year by year, which is not optimistic."

After hearing this, Chen Liubai was silent, and couldn't help but think of the "environmental ecology" theory in another time and space. It was also applicable in this extraordinary world.

It's just that the forms they express are different.

Mo Xuanyi added: "I think back then, all the mountaintops and all the immortal sects sat together, negotiated, and finally formed the Taoist Court. The original intention was to maintain the balanced development of this world. However, as the organization continued to evolve, Expansion, expansion, mixed forces of all parties, internal conflicts due to distribution problems... However, these problems are inevitable, and they will not affect the overall situation."

At this point, he paused.

After all, Chen Liubai's current identity is not considered a member of the Taoist court, so there is no need to say too much.

Regarding these, Chen Liubai had only heard a little bit about them when he was in the mountains before, and he was far from understanding them.

However, with his current level of cultivation, even if he understood it, he would not be able to intervene or do anything.

Mo Xuanyi coughed dryly and got to the point: "Junior brother, I reported the situation of your return to the master the day before yesterday, and I received a reply from the elder this morning."

Chen Liubai suddenly became solemn and looked like he was listening respectfully.

Mo Xuanyi muttered: "The elder's attitude does not agree with your immediate return to the mountain..."

Hearing this, even after experiencing so much, Chen Liubai couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Mo Xuanyi looked at his expression and said with a smile: "Not letting you go back to the mountain immediately does not mean that you are not allowed to go back to the mountain. What he means is that there is a task for you, and you can go back after it is completed."

Chen Liubai breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What mission?"

Mo Xuanyi joked: "Junior brother, since I met you, I feel that you have changed a lot, and you always look unfazed. Why are you anxious now?"

Chen Liubai smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Seventh, this matter is related to whether I can return to the mountain. How can I not be in a hurry?"

Mo Xuanyi laughed: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, just listen to me...the so-called tasks are actually the rising trend of the new sect. There are always few people on our mountain, but the Taoist court has a lot of things to do. , piling up more and more. As you know the temperament of senior brothers, they rarely manage things. Therefore, many things are burdened on me, which is difficult. "

Chen Liubai said: "If there is anything I can do to help, seventh senior brother, just give me your instructions."

Mo Xuanyi clapped his hands: "Xiaobai, it's better for you! Not as a senior brother, but I don't like the hardships and are tired. In fact, working in the Taoist court can increase your practice experience, and secondly, you can sharpen your sophistication. Killing two birds with one stone is good for you. .I think the elder’s intention is the same.”

"Senior brother is right."

"Let's stop talking nonsense. Let me tell you the truth. This mission is to send you to serve as an evangelist in the local area to resolve various local disputes. Once you are done, you can return to the mountain."

Chen Liubai understood that this should be a test. Or, to be more precise, a kind of exercise.

After all, being able to take on the role of a local teacher from the very beginning is not a low starting point.

Looking at Su Zhao, one can tell that as a descendant of a noble family, after becoming an edict, he played a role like a local emperor in Nanling City.

Then Mo Xuanyi continued: "The place is designated by the elder... There are many places to choose from, but I think that since the elder has designated it, it must have his deep meaning."

Chen Liubai heard the implication: "Isn't that place peaceful?"

Mo Xuanyi nodded: "It's true that it was quite violent, but you've become a god and can suppress it."

"Okay, I'll go."

Chen Liubai has a firm attitude. He has always been unafraid of trouble. It can even be said that if something happens, he can put his sword to the test.

Otherwise, what's the point of learning the sword?

Mo Xuanyi said sternly: "Junior brother, please don't think that this is the mountain gate deliberately making things difficult for you. The path to immortality has never been smooth sailing, one step at a time. There are very few things happening on our mountain."

Chen Liubai hurriedly said: "Senior brother, you are serious. I have never thought that way."

Mo Xuanyi was very satisfied with his attitude and took out a file: "I have compiled the specific situation into a document and recorded it here in detail. Please take it and read it carefully."

"Thank you, Seventh Senior Brother."

"In addition, I will also teach you the spirit gathering array. Once you get there and establish yourself, you can set up this array in your residence. It will be beneficial to your practice."

Chen Liubai was overjoyed. This magic circle was indeed useful.

Mo Xuanyi added: "The layout of the spirit gathering array is not difficult. As long as you have the array plate, array flags, and master the relevant techniques, you can complete it. I have these utensils ready-made on hand, and I will give them to you directly. Set...Finally, even if you find me verbose, you have to say it: the path to immortality is dangerous and unpredictable, so you should think twice before taking any action."

Humbly accepting the teachings and teachings of the Seventh Senior Brother, Chen Liubai set off and left Nanling City on a rouge horse.
