Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 384 Foreign Aid
Lu Ye pondered.

This is a bit embarrassing.

For him, the Lan family is just a pseudonym, a branch base. The pseudonym will be removed when it is time, and there is no need to invest any emotions in it.

The relatives and friends of the pseudonym are not the relatives and friends of the original body.

The problem is that Lan Wu and other people in the Lan family really regard him as the patriarch, and this vest is too perfect.

Now everyone was staring at him with inquiring eyes, waiting for him to make up his mind. A change of mind could determine the lives of thousands of people in the tribe.

Think about it, when the Zhang family attacked the Lan family, they were careless and kicked the Lan family's steel plate, leading to their annihilation. That was less than a year ago.

When faced with this choice, I felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, Lan Wutong's next words left him no room for hesitation.

"Clan leader, the clan's special envoy, Elder Ming, has been in the clan for a few days."

"He is waiting for your reply in person, and will accompany you to Jinsha Gate in person."

"Besides, the news has spread all over Shannan recently."

"Jinshamen has a mandatory requirement for all independent cultivators who do not belong to any sect to participate in the war."

"Now many independent cultivators are hoping to become disciples of sects outside the mountain in order to avoid this disaster."

Lu Ye scratched his nose. He didn't expect that the immortal sect would also use this method to recruit men.

There's no point in discussing this. The elders have come to block the door themselves.

As soon as he took Zhang Cunyi and Sister Hong to run away, the other party would chase him all the way.

Now in Huangsha Mountain, both the Tianlun Sect in the north of the mountain and the Jinsha Sect in the south of the mountain are in a state of high tension. If you are not careful, the pursuit will escalate. It will not be fun if you alarm an old Jindan monster like Old Man Sha Yu.

The Black Tiger Demon King cannot compare with veteran golden elixirs like Old Man Sha Yu and Old Ancestor Hui Ding.

It was he and Achou who scared away the seriously injured Black Tiger Demon King. Now, facing the old Golden Core head-on was definitely not a wise move.

The demon race is stronger in physical body and blood, while the human cultivators know how to refine weapons and formations, and they will improve their skills from generation to generation. Human cultivators who possess spiritual weapons of the same level are generally stronger than the demon race of the same level.

The leaders of large sects with orderly inheritance like Tianlun Sect and Jinsha Sect are definitely stronger than the local king of the demon country.

Lu Ye decided immediately.

"We are going to host a banquet tonight to entertain Elder Ming. You guys can come with us and we will explore the Jinsha Sect."

"In addition, the family's internal affairs will be left to the elders to handle."

"I'll go meet the distinguished guest first."

He waved his sleeves and stood up to leave, and everyone hurried to see him off.

Lu Ye walked out of the meeting hall and asked someone to lead the way, going directly to find Zhang Cunyi and Sister Hong.

On the way, he had an idea, a picture of a fish and a dragon flashed out, and a few lines of words appeared in front of him.

"Lu Ye - 37 years old/300 years old.

Spiritual roots——Heavenly Grade."

He nodded secretly. It should be said that Monk Baiye was handsome and his physique was first-rate in the Tianlun Sect. No wonder Patriarch Huiding accepted him as his last disciple and designated him as the next generation of Buddhist disciple in the sect.

Tianbing grade spiritual roots - heavenly grade spiritual roots, are the top qualifications among those Yuanying sects.

If Lu Ye had not traveled to the Wind Demon Country and reached the tenth level of foundation building by chance through being struck by lightning, he might not have chosen this person as a template for transformation.

The cultivator from the Lan family led the way, using the light of escape. After turning left and right, they had arrived outside a bamboo forest on the back mountain of the family.

There is a thatched pavilion in the center of the bamboo forest.

In the thatched pavilion, Sister Hong could be seen crying with her face covered, while Zhang Cunyi was comforting her.

Lu Ye waved his hand to let the monk from the Lan family who was leading the way retreat, and then he turned into a rainbow light and descended from the sky.

Sister Hong looked up and saw an elegant middle-aged monk with an unfamiliar face descending from the sky. He was the one who brought her here.

She stepped back unconsciously.

Zhang Cunyi had already walked up to him and enthusiastically called him "Big Brother".

Sister Hong was stunned for a moment, then rushed over with a look of ecstasy on her face.

"Uncle?"

"Are you really my uncle?"

"I thought I would never see the uncle and the young lady again this time!"

"Oh, God, he finally opened his eyes. The son-in-law and the young lady can be reunited again."

Lu Ye pointed his finger and a light shield enveloped the few people, isolating them from inside and outside investigation.

He then wiped his face, revealing his true appearance, and took a few steps forward to grab Sister Hong's hand.

"Sister Hong, you have been accompanying Furong in the Tianlun Sect for the past few years. You have worked really hard."

Sister Hong burst into tears.

"Not hard, not hard."

"It's worth it in the end. It's worth it."

After Sister Hong wiped away her tears of excitement, the three of them sat down in the pavilion.

Sister Hong is Pan Furong's servant, but in fact she is both her mother and sister. She has been Lu Ye's personal bodyguard for decades. Naturally, Lu Ye respects her very much and does not really regard her as a servant.

The three of you said something to me.

Lu Ye briefly explained the entire evil plan of Master Sanhei and how they rescued Pan Furong after a series of twists and turns in the Demon Kingdom.

He was injured because he diverted the pursuers, so he was late in going to Tianlun Sect to find Sister Hong. He was also the one who transformed into the Demon Ape King.

Sister Hong doesn’t understand how to cultivate immortality, and doesn’t realize that the transformation between humans and demons is as easy as an insurmountable chasm.

Lu Ye deliberately spoke briefly, and Zhang Cunyi did not understand how difficult it would be for Lu Ye to sneak up the mountain in his demon form.

After reviewing the past in a few words, Lu Ye changed the subject.

"Sister Hong, Furong, my second brother, and my fourth brother have already left Huangsha Mountain and gone to the Gushan Sect of the Chu State."

"After I take care of a few trivial matters, I will send you two off the mountain."

Zhang Cunyi and Hong Jie were shocked and asked Lu Ye if he was not leaving.

Lu Ye shook his head.

"You go first. I am the head of the Lan family under this vest. Recently, Jinshamen has been inviting leaders of various forces under its jurisdiction."

"This vest must also go up the mountain."

"If I leave, I'll be too conspicuous, and we may not be able to leave together."

"Why don't you go first? It will be convenient for one person to go when I am free."

Zhang Cunyi and Hong Jie had no choice but to act according to Lu Ye's plan.

The three of them reminisced about the past for a long time before Lu Ye regained his dignity as the clan leader and ordered his men to serve him well and not to neglect him.

"Third brother, you should stay with Sister Hong. I have a banquet tonight. I will be back soon."

Lu Ye said goodbye to the two and turned to meet Elder Ming, the special envoy of Jinshamen.

Well... it would be great if Wang Hu was here, so he could be alone with his beloved Sister Hong. Maybe he could even get another matchmaker avatar.

Lu Ye's thoughts were in a mess, and soon he turned to a lake on the back mountain of the Lan family. Outside the lake was a nine-curve corridor, which was suitable for viewing the scenery.

At this time, the moonlight was faint and the sky was beginning to darken.

The tables, chairs, wine and food are set out, the breeze is blowing, and the lake is rippling, which is a unique experience.

Soon, Elder Ming came with a big fat belly and a red nose, smiling.

"Haha, Chief Lan, it's really hard to see you."

Lu Ye, accompanied by Lan Wu and several other elders, laughed heartily.

"Huangsha Mountain is in turmoil, so I went out to accumulate more resources for the family. I'm sorry to have embarrassed Elder Ming."

"Elder Ming, come and taste the wine I brought back from outside. It has a unique flavor."

Lu Ye waved his hand, and Ah Chou hid his mouth in dissatisfaction in his sleeves.

He waved his hand casually, and several jars of wine sealed with beautiful jade appeared on the table immediately. Lu Ye then chopped open the mud seal with his palm.

Immediately, an enticing fragrance wafted out, mixed with rich spiritual energy and floated in the air.

The key is that each jar of wine is of a different kind. Some are fermented with the painstaking efforts of human spiritual plants, while others are made by the demon race due to their unique terrain and special spiritual fruits.

Elder Ming was somewhat dissatisfied at first, but his attention was immediately diverted when he smelled the wine.

Ah Chou is the owner of the entire wine cellar of the Tianlun Sect, and there are many top-quality wines in the Tianlun Sect's collection.

He was still putting on airs before a glass of wine.

After three cups of wine, he starts calling his friends.

After three rounds of drinks, he pulled Lu Ye and called him "Brother Lan".

"Brother Lan," Elder Ming patted his chest and said, "I'm not bragging."

"Everyone in the entire Jinsha Sect knows that there are two drunkards. One is me, and the other is Elder Wu."

"It's a pity that Elder Wu is not a good person. He probably owed too much money for wine, so he actually became a robbery cultivator and was exposed, which ruined the matter."

"To be so crazy about alcohol, I have to admit that I am inferior to you. I am ashamed of myself."

Lu Ye laughed.

"It's better to be ashamed of yourself, otherwise, how could we have the chance to drink with Elder Ming today?"

"Come on, fill it up."

After drinking for a few hours, Lan Wu and several other accompanying elders all drank till they were drunk under the table.

Only Lu Ye and Elder Ming were still sitting.

With Achou's help, Lu Ye looked drunk, but it was all acting.

Elder Ming, however, spoke many words with his tongue spread out.

"Brother, you must be respectful when you go up the mountain this time. The top leaders of Jinshamen want to make an example of others and reorganize the internal affairs. They want to challenge the lazy family to establish their authority!"

"Also, don't even think about escaping with your people. The Sect Leader has already invited several powerful Jindan external reinforcements to guard the southern exit of the mountain."

"In this battle, although the Tianlun Sect in Shanbei has invited the demon clan to come with great momentum, we may not lose."

“How hateful, how hateful…” Elder Ming shed tears as he was moved and began to speak the truth, “I have read through all the records of the battles of our sect’s predecessors.”

"Qi training is just cannon fodder, foundation building is just elite, Jindan can stand alone, and only Yuanying can make the final decision!"

Elder Ming complained that according to his inference, if the battle at Huangsha Mountain turned into a stalemate later on, it would most likely depend on the outcome between the Nascent Soul Sect Leader of the Lingyun Sect of the Chu State and the Nascent Soul Demon King Qingluan of the Fengyao State.

He said with tears in his eyes.

"You and I are both at the foundation-building stage, so we should drink this good wine when we can. We may not be able to drink it anytime soon."

Seeing that he was pessimistic, Lu Ye advised him.

"Elder Ming, there's no need to be discouraged. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to make it through."

Elder Ming shook his head.

"Difficult. Now I just hope that both sides' Nascent Souls will join the battle as soon as possible. They are beings that can wipe out mountains with one hand."

"The sooner they decide the winner, the fewer casualties our men will suffer." Lu Ye inquired with interest.

"What if even the Nascent Soul cannot determine the winner?"

Elder Ming's eyes were blurry with drunkenness.

"It's impossible that we can't tell who's the winner. We can't alarm the gods, right?"

"Besides, it is still uncertain whether there are any gods in our Great Central Continent now."

Lu Ye became interested.

He had not expected that he would reach the tenth level of foundation building so soon, and had a chance to touch the golden elixir. He usually did not care about the top masters from various continents.

This is the first time I heard that a person who has reached the state of spiritual enlightenment could be the top master in every continent.

He thought for a moment and recalled the division of the realms of cultivation in some records he had read over the years.

"Hey, Brother Ming, that's not right. I remember there was a realm above the Spiritual Transformation. How come the Spiritual Transformation is the top now?"

Elder Ming sneered.

"Why don't you mention that in recent ancient times, there were great men who directly ascended to become immortals?"

"It's because our ancestors were too aggressive. It is said that in ancient times, humans and demons fought each other, and the top fighters on both sides were defeated. The fighting caused the spirit veins to collapse, the mountains and rivers to change course, and all living things to suffer."

"After that, the spiritual energy dissipated, and each generation became inferior to the previous one."

"It was the North-South War in Huangsha Mountain. Thousands of years ago, there were even gods participating in the war."

"Now the Nascent Soul can determine the outcome."

Lu Ye was stunned.

"So now there is no one who can ascend to become an immortal?"

"Hasn't spiritual energy revived in the past ten years?"

Elder Ming shook his head.

"Brother, you still suffered from the disordered inheritance."

"Although our Jinsha Sect is a Jindan Sect, our ancestors were also wealthy and have excavated the ruins of other great sects. We know a lot about things from the recent past to the present."

"Above the Spiritualization Stage there are the Realm of Refining Void, Integration Stage, Mahayana Stage, and Tribulation Stage. They are arranged from easy to difficult. Even for a person of extraordinary talent, it would take more than a thousand years to cultivate to the Realm of Refining Void?"

"Not to mention above the Refining Void?"

"It's a pity that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has only been restored for a dozen years. Even if there are masters of the Spiritualization stage in the world, how can these ten years be enough for him to break through to the Void Refinement stage?"

"If we want to recreate the ancient splendor, given the slow recovery of spiritual energy today, wouldn't it take thousands of years?"

"It's a pity that I won't live that long and won't be able to see it!"

Elder Ming sighed and took three big gulps of the wine.

Lu Ye also sighed after hearing this, thinking about the ancient times when powerful people emerged in large numbers and humans and demons fought against each other, which was a grand spectacle.

It is impossible to go back in time to the ancient times, so we can only live well. The lifespan of a Nascent Soul is a thousand years, and that of a Spiritual Transformation is two thousand years.

If you work hard to become a god, you can live for more than 3,000 years from now, and maybe you can see the grand spectacle after the revival of spiritual energy.

Lu Ye spent the whole night drinking with the second wine elder of Jinshamen, and both of them had a great time.

In the next few days, with the support of Achou's inventory of fine wine, Elder Ming had a different kind of wine every day. In addition, Elder Ming's storage ring was filled with wine jars.

Elder Ming drank and took things, and he finally spoke out the truth.

"Brother Lan, I can't drink your wine for nothing."

"Let me give you a piece of advice."

"This time when we go up the mountain, we are determined to unite all the foundation-building forces to fight against the Tianlun Sect and the demon race in the north of the mountain."

"It is possible that the various forces will be broken up and incorporated."

"Accordingly, this time we will give each foundation-building force a chance to pick a few immortal cultivators and send them away from Huangsha Mountain, so as to leave a way out for each force."

"Those who stay will face many harsh tasks. The Sect Master has become ruthless and this time we're serious. No matter what you think, you must not openly go against the Sect Master."

"Of course, the more dangerous the mission, the greater the reward if you complete it."

Lu Ye's eyes turned and he asked if the news was true.
Elder Ming sneered and said mysteriously.

"Deputy Sect Leader Sha Haisheng is my cousin."

"Oh..." Lu Ye stopped asking questions and turned back to give Elder Ming a storage ring and some fine wine.

On this day, accompanied by Elder Ming, Lu Ye set out alone for Jinshamen.

All the Lan clan members came out in full force to respectfully see the envoy and clan leader off from Jinsha Gate.

After the two of them formed a small dot on the horizon.

Lan Wutong waved to the elders and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone above the elder level knows about the clan leader's secret arrangements before he left."

"In addition to the two distinguished guests, one man and one woman, select one elder who can pass on skills to the late Qi training stage, and three to five immortal seedlings below the third level of Qi training."

"The clan leader said that he would try his best to get more places for our Lan family."

The elders' faces darkened when they heard this.

Since they took root in Huangsha Mountain, they have never heard of dispersing part of the tribe before a war. It seems that even the Jinsha clan knows that this war will not be easy.

I just hope that the Lan family branch can survive the turmoil and successfully take root and survive in a foreign place.

-

This day.

The Jinshamen meeting hall was very lively.

On both sides of the hall, there were four rows of long armchairs. Many elders of the Jinsha Sect and leaders of various foundation-building forces had already taken their seats.

On the left were all elders of the Jinsha Sect, there were more than twenty of them, and on the right sat the leaders of various foundation-building sects and families, there were also more than twenty of them.

This shows the strength of the Jinsha Sect. Even if we don't count the old man Sha Yu, the Jindan Sect's most powerful leader, the number of their foundation-building masters is comparable to that of other foundation-building forces.

The person sitting at the head of the armchair on the left is the deputy leader of the Jinsha Sect, Sha Haisheng, a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage. He is resting with his eyes closed.

However, everyone's attention was focused on the main seat on the high platform inside the hall, where four chairs were placed side by side.

Everyone whispered among themselves.

"My goodness, even Deputy Sect Master Sha is not qualified to sit on the high platform, so aren't all the people on it Golden Core Masters?"

"When did four Jindan masters emerge from the north of Huangsha Mountain?"

"It is also possible that the master invited a master from outside to help?"

"With four Jindan masters here, perhaps we can stop those barbarians in the north of the mountain without the need for Lingyun Sect's Yuanying masters to take action?"

"That would be best. Huangsha Mountain is our Huangsha Mountain. If Lingyun Sect gets involved, it will be easier to invite the gods than to send them away."

"Your Excellency, is that right?"

Someone expressed his opinion with spit flying, then turned to ask a middle-aged monk with a long beard and a blue robe next to him, and the monk nodded and smiled.

"Brother, what you said is absolutely right."

"I wonder what your name is, brother?"

The man who said he would ask the gods to send his opinions said proudly.

"Okay, okay. My last name is Shen, and I'm the head of the Shen family. You can just call me Brother Tian Ri."

"Shen Tianri?" The middle-aged blue-robed monk was stunned, praised the good name, and introduced himself, "I am Lan He, the head of the Lan family."

"I'll have to ask Daoist Shen to take care of me in the future."

It turned out that Lu Ye and Elder Ming set out on the journey and reached the top of Jinshamen Mountain in just half a day.

The Lan family is not considered a powerful force in Shannan. Its overall strength is of medium to lower level. In addition, the "Lan He" alias does not have any amazing achievements.

Therefore, Lu Ye was arranged to sit in a chair at the back - well, the kind where if he sat a few chairs back, he would be outside the door.

Elder Ming naturally left because of something, and Lu Ye sat there boredly observing the foundation-building masters in the hall.

The original owner Lan He's daily life was very boring.

He practiced meditation, worried about his family, went out to rob to earn extra money to support his family, and then practiced meditation again.

As a result, he did not recognize most of the people in the room.

Lu Ye thought this was a good idea as he no longer had to worry about his identity being exposed.

After he introduced himself, Shen Tianri said, "I've heard a lot about you." This man was very outgoing and soon started chatting with Lu Ye.

The foundation-building masters were also so plain and simple when talking about gossip.

Shen Tianri has long ears and a long tongue. He tells Lu Ye to be careful. He heard that the sect has arranged a mission for them to cross the border and investigate the enemy situation this time, so he should try to avoid it if possible.

at this time.

A gust of yellow sand suddenly blew in from outside, directly into the hall and landed on the high platform.

The yellow sand scattered and blew past everyone's faces. Everyone's heart shuddered, and they felt as if they were pierced by thousands of flying swords in an instant. They didn't even have time to think or move to resist.

The water of the Yulong River in Lu Ye's sea of ​​knowledge was rushing, and Ah Chou was so excited that he wanted to jump out to give the yellow sand a little bit of lightning and thunder.

Lu Ye was so frightened that he shouted a few orders in a hurry, which almost caused an accident.

Swish!
The yellow sand swirled on the high platform and finally turned into an old man in a yellow robe with a kind face. He was none other than the head of the Jinsha Sect, Old Man Sha Yu.

Everyone knew that this old man was very bad and was deliberately trying to intimidate them.

They did not dare to be negligent and bowed to say hello to the master.

"Haha, everyone, please take a seat!"

"Huangsha Mountain North is so prosperous. With the help of all the great masters, we will definitely be able to kill the invading enemy without leaving a single piece of armor!"

"It's no problem to push back the Tianlun Sect and capture the north of the mountain."

"When the time comes, Jinshamen is willing to share the spiritual veins in the north of the mountain with you all!"

Upon hearing this, all the foundation-building forces below thanked the leader in unison and pledged to obey his orders.

This time everyone's voices were much more sincere.

Old man Sha Yu laughed loudly, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Also, we will not fight a battle without preparation this time."

"I invited three more foreign players."

"It's the three Mo Yuzhu people!"

"Please welcome the three great sages!"

Swish swish!
Outside the hall, three figures flew by, one in dark black, one in pure blue, and one in emerald green, and landed on three other empty chairs. They were one woman and two men.

The woman had a face as white as jade, with eyebrows slanted into her hair like sharp blades, a pair of phoenix eyes that looked around fiercely with a murderous aura, slightly red cherry lips, and wore a black robe that outlined her exquisite curves.

Lu Ye just glanced at the woman and almost jumped up.

"Mo Ruyan?"
