Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 401 Departure
The atmosphere in the house was gloomy.

Elder Tiegong had sweat on his forehead, and Lu Ye called out to Ah Chou in his mind.

If Elder Qi really decided to take action, he certainly couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Qi Zhentao glanced at everyone in the room and suddenly smiled.

"Okay, Elder Tie, it's just a joke, why are you so nervous?"

"Chief Lan, you should also relax."

"Whether the Mozhu Secret Realm is open or not is just a rumor."

"It's just a rumor. Someone has seen a black jade bamboo joint, but it's still unknown whether it's true or not."

"It's getting late, you should go to bed early!"

"Let's find a quiet place nearby to meditate and practice to prevent that female devil from coming back."

After he said that, he turned and left, and Shang Tianti and Qi Fangfang hurriedly followed.

The group left the courtyard, and Shang Tianti whispered beside them, “Elder Qi, we are here to participate in the Lanhe Jindan Ceremony this time.

In addition, I was asked by the headmaster to find the information about the Black Jade Bamboo Section. Who knew that Elder Tie Gong’s cultivation was not good, but he was so knowledgeable. Is it inappropriate for him to leak the news at this moment?

Qi Zhentao said proudly with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of absolute confidence.

"I understand what you mean."

"But Elder Tie is from Gushan Sect, and Gushan Sect has always been our ally."

"How can you attack your allies just because of a piece of news you don't know whether it's true or not?"

"Besides, even if the secret realm is really opened, only masters above the Golden Core level can enter."

"In the entire Chu State, only my Lingyun Sect has the most Jindan masters. It must be my Lingyun Sect that has gained the most benefits."

"Do not worry!"

Shang Tianti was unhappy - Elder Qi was too arrogant.

The last time the secret realm was opened a thousand years ago, the Tianmen Sect, the number one sect in the Chu State, suffered heavy losses, and the Lingyun Sect took advantage of the opportunity to rise.

At that time, the strength of Lingyun Sect and Tianmen Sect was comparable to that of Gushan Sect and Lingyun Sect today.

Who can guarantee that history will not repeat itself?
However, this trip was led by Qi Zhentao. They investigated openly and secretly along the way, but did not find the black jade bamboo joint. The news that the secret realm might be opened might just be a rumor, and it was not worth offending Elder Qi for such an uncertain thing.

So he kept silent.

Shang Tianti turned his head and looked at Qi Fangfang, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes - Fangfang, why haven't you completed the foundation yet.

If you can cultivate and establish your foundation soon and become my cauldron, and we can practice the Great Paradise Dual Cultivation Method together, I will have the hope of achieving Nascent Soul within a hundred years.

When Qi Fangfang saw her lover looking at her, her face turned red and she lowered her head.

Qi Zhentao, who was walking in front, seemed to see the two people's small movements and coughed.

"Fangfang, those people you met today were your fellow disciples, right?"

"I remember you said that among these people, there is a senior brother named Lu, who is extremely talented."

"He is expected to achieve foundation building within ten years. Now that ten years have passed, do you still have any news about him?"

Qi Fangfang replied quickly.

"Great grandfather, I haven't contacted them for a long time."

"I did meet and chat with Patriarch Lan at the Jindan Ceremony at Jinsha Mountain a few days ago."

"They said that Senior Brother Lu has been traveling around and has not been heard from for many years."

Shang Tianti snorted coldly.

"If you can complete the foundation-building process before the age of fifty, you can be considered a talent."

"But the road to becoming an immortal is long, and the most likely to die along the way are talented people."

"If he were alive, a mere foundation building would be nothing to our Lingyun Sect."

Lingyun Sect is a large Nascent Soul Sect. There are more than ten Golden Core cultivators in the sect, and even more Foundation Establishment cultivators. It is really nothing.

Shang Tianti snapped his fingers.

"If he dies out of luck, he will just be a pile of dirt. Who would care?"

"Fangfang, after you return to the mountain, you should concentrate on your cultivation and achieve foundation building as soon as possible."

Qi Fangfang responded hurriedly. She felt a little sweet in her heart. It seemed that her Taoist partner was jealous.

Although she had no romantic feelings for Brother Lu, she felt secretly proud that she could make her fellow Taoist more concerned about her.

Qi Fangfang possesses a hidden spiritual root - Fulong.

This kind of spiritual root is of little use to one's personal cultivation.

However, if one practices dual cultivation with a Taoist partner, the probability of the Taoist partner successfully breaking through the realm can be greatly increased, and then the Taoist partner can feed back the magic power, and those who possess the dragon-supporting spiritual root will also make great progress in their cultivation.

It is effective for all stages below the Nascent Soul stage, so this spiritual root is called Fulong, which means it can help the dragon soar into the sky and break through shackles.

Of course, the cultivator with the Fulong spiritual root cannot be too weak himself.

Shang Tianti had calculated that he was now at the middle stage of the Golden Core and would surely reach the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years.

The sooner Qi Fangfang completes her foundation building and practices dual cultivation with him, the greater his chances of success will be.

Qi Zhentao, who was walking in front, turned his head to look at his great-granddaughter's shy face, feeling disdainful in his heart. He glanced at Shang Tianti again, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

How could the Qi family give birth to such a confused great-granddaughter, who also has the dragon-supporting spiritual root.

Is God blind?

There are so many talented and intelligent girls in my Qi family, but we didn't choose this one instead.

"Forget it, forget it. Everyone gets what they need."

"I don't care about their affairs anymore."

"I will need Shang Tianti to support the Qi family a hundred years later. Shang Tianti wants to achieve Yuanying as soon as possible so that he can decide on the successor to the head of the sect."

"Qi Fangfang... this idiot only wants to talk about love. As long as I am not dead and her spiritual roots are not wasted, Shang Tianti will give her love."

"When the day comes when my Qi family is no longer valuable, she will be ruthlessly abandoned."

"Stupid great-granddaughter, why do you have to fall in love with such a cold-blooded person when there are so many people you can fall in love with?"

It turned out that Qi Zhentao was robbed when he went out and was forced to stay in seclusion when he returned.

With luck, he recovered his cultivation, broke through the barriers, and regained control of the Qi family.

Several things happened in the Qi family before and after he went into seclusion.

Qi Fangfang and other promising immortal cultivators were abducted; ten years later, Qi Fangfang escaped back again; during this period, the Qi family suffered a series of misfortunes and lost several foundation-building cultivators. In addition, the Jindan ancestor was in seclusion and his life or death was unknown. The Qi family was almost on the verge of collapse.

Qi Fangfang escaped back and, using the name of Qi, sent several of her fellow disciples who had been abducted to the Xuanmo Sect in Heikuo Mountain to become disciples of the Gushan Sect.

In addition, Qi Fangfang also went to see her fiancé Shang Tianti. Although Shang was willing to meet her, he was a little vague and no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Qi Fangfang thought that she had been kidnapped for ten years and fell into a den of thieves. It was difficult for her to prove her innocence, and her face was disfigured. She thought that her fellow Taoists disliked her and was heartbroken. Every day she was busy making medicine with amethyst flowers to restore her appearance, acting like a crazy lover.

It was not until Qi Zhentao unexpectedly broke through that Shang Tianti's attitude towards Qi Fangfang changed drastically and he became passionate about her again.

At this time, Qi Fangfang's face had been repaired, and she thought she had won back her lover's heart with her beauty.

Qi Zhentao is an experienced man.

Comparing the past and the present, it is clear that Shang Tianti saw that the Qi family did not have Qi Zhentao in charge and could not provide support, so he deliberately kept his distance.

It is possible that he has also thought about having Qi Fangfang be the cauldron while not giving the other party the status of a Taoist partner, taking advantage of everything and not taking any responsibility.

It was only after Qi Zhentao came out of seclusion that the Qi family began to shake again, and Shang Tianti became enthusiastic about Qi Fangfang again.

Qi Zhentao sighed again in his heart.

"Oh my God!"

"Why was this Dragon-supporting spiritual root given to such a confused woman?"

"There are so many smart women in my Qi family, who can I marry? I need a clear-headed woman to cooperate with me, and I can find a son-in-law for my Qi family. After my death, I can support the Qi family for hundreds of years!"

"hateful!"

The three of them walked forward, Qi Zhentao felt sad, Qi Fangfang felt sweet, and Shang Tianti's mind was full of calculations, and he soon disappeared into the night.

Inside the paper yard.

When Elder Tie Gong saw Qi Zhentao and others leave, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and sweat broke out on his head.

He bowed to Lu Ye.

"Benefactor!"

"If you hadn't taken action today, I and several of my disciples would have died at the hands of that female devil."

"Just now Elder Qi was here, and there was a hint of murderous intent on his body. If you hadn't happened to be there, I really don't know how it would have ended."

"I will never forget your life-saving grace. If there is any problem with the Lan family in the future, just send me a letter and I, Tie Gong, will never neglect it!"

"Don't think I'm useless, but the Tie family is also a big family in the Gushan Sect and can do a lot of things."

Lu Ye rolled his eyes and smiled.

"Elder Tie, don't be discouraged."

"as big as World, nothing is nonexistent."

"Perhaps the treasure can heal you and repair your broken Qi Sea."

Elder Tie Gong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Alas, where in this world can there be such a miraculous treasure? Even if there is, I won't be able to enjoy it."

Lu Ye smiled and said, "It doesn't exist in this world, but is it in the secret realm?"

Elder Tie Gong looked solemn, knowing that Lu Ye had deliberately turned the topic to the Mozhu Secret Realm.

He hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to let Wang Hu, Pan Furong and others who were standing beside him leave. "Fellow Daoist Lan, if you hadn't saved my life today, I would never have told you."

"You just saw how taboo Qi Zhentao is about this news."

"The Mozhu Secret Realm was last opened a thousand years ago. Going back further, it was recorded to be more than 1,500 years ago. The further back in time we go, the longer it has been opened."

"This secret realm is unique. It does not have a fixed opening. Instead, before it is opened, some black jade bamboo joints will be sprayed out from the void at irregular intervals."

"This is about the size of a palm, and its entire body is black and smooth like jade. Its material is unknown."

"Then, at a certain moment, the secret realm is fully opened, and the bamboo joint will pull the holder into the secret realm."

"No matter where you are in this world, or in a cave formation, you cannot avoid it."

"This section will only attract cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to enter the secret realm."

"However, the secret realm is extremely dangerous. There are many ferocious beasts and barbaric natives. There are also several famous time and space turbulences. Anyone who accidentally steps into it will surely die."

"If you go in to practice Qi and build your foundation, you will die. Only the Golden Core can save your life."

"Of course, it is rich in specialties and contains many treasures that are lacking in this world."

"Thousands of years ago, the Yuanying Sect leader of the Tianmen Sect, the most powerful sect in Chu State, and a group of Jindan masters were defeated in the secret realm. Later, the Lingyun Sect took advantage of the situation and rose to prominence."

Elder Tie Gong coughed a few times and continued.

"Ancestor Lan, thank you for lending a helping hand and saving us, the master and the disciples."

"I have something to say from the bottom of my heart, but it may be a bit presumptuous to say it out loud."

"This Black Bamboo Secret Realm is very dangerous. If you get the Black Jade Bamboo Section in the future, you must abandon it. This is not a good place."

"In addition, I would like to ask Elder Lan to escort us back to Gushan Sect. Our sect will definitely reward us handsomely."

Lu Ye smiled and thanked Elder Tie Gong for his kind reminder, then readily agreed to escort everyone back to Gushan Sect.

After all, Mo Ruyan's attack was because of Wang Hu and others. For the safety of his brother and Furong, even if Elder Tie Gong did not mention it, he would escort everyone back to Gushan Sect.

Elder Tiegong was seriously injured. When he saw Lu Ye Mali agreed, he felt relieved and the anger he had been holding on to was released.

He soon became exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Ye shook his wide robe and dozens of talismans flew out, sealing off the courtyard and preventing any outside cultivators from spying on him.

Another magic circle was cast around Elder Tiegong to ensure that he would sleep soundly and not notice any noise around him.

He then wiped his face, took off the bark mask, and squirmed.

Soon he changed back to his original appearance from a middle-aged elegant Taoist priest.

"Husband... I thought we would be separated by the Yin and Yang today." Pan Furong could no longer hold back and rushed forward, tears welling up in her eyes.

The two had been separated for five years. They finally met on Jinsha Mountain a few days ago, but they didn't dare to look at each other for too long, for fear of revealing flaws.

Now that everyone in the yard is her own, she can finally stop worrying.

Lu Ye hugged the beauty tightly in his arms and said with a smile.

"Okay, Fleur, stop crying."

"Aren't we all fine?"

"Yizhangqing doesn't cry like that."

Pan Furong gradually stopped crying. The tears she shed were not because of fear, but because of lovesickness.

They had not had a proper reunion for the past twenty years. Even when they were rescued in the demon country, they could only sit on the saddle of the gray donkey and stay in their man's arms for a short moment.

Longing was like a rope that tightly wrapped around her soul and body. Now that they were reunited, she wished she could tie the two of them together tightly so that they would never be separated again.

"Big brother..." Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi and Shu Chitu also greeted Lu Ye.

"Fortunately you arrived in time," Wang Hu said with a look of fear, "I don't know what kind of female devil is in that devil cloud."

"They actually murdered a person who was building his foundation and several people who were practicing Qi."

Zhang Cunyi was also still frightened.

"Yeah, they crushed us all with just one finger."

"The iron umbrella's defense was not strong enough. I used the foundation-building corpse that my elder brother gave me to block it, but it was all crushed by the opponent."

"If I hadn't been thinking of playing cat and mouse, I'm afraid my brother wouldn't have been able to rescue me in time."

Shu Chitu touched his leg and smiled bitterly.

"It's so scary. My legs are still shaking."

"But speaking of it, brothers, why does the magic cloud condensed into a palm today look familiar?"

Lu Ye sneered.

"Of course it looks familiar."

"Today we are meeting an old acquaintance."

"Think about the Devil Cloud Palm technique and see if it is similar to the Blood Handprint that Deputy Sect Master Wu taught us."

Everyone was shocked and Wang Hu slapped his thigh.

"Damn it! How could there be such a shameless Jindan sneak attack?"

“It turned out to be Mo Ruyan!”

"Strange, how does she know our whereabouts?"

When Zhang Cunyi and Shu Chitu heard the name Mo Ruyan, their faces changed drastically.

This sect leader is truly a psychological shadow to them. Even though he has escaped for more than ten years, they still turn pale with fear at the mention of him.

Mo Ruyan was a master who broke the golden elixir in the battle and was able to compete with Zhou Wufu and Mo Xing.

"Her current identity is the leader of the Three Wanderers of Jinsha Mountain, Mo Sanren." Lu Ye revealed Mo Ruyan's current alias.

"You followed the master up the mountain to give gifts. When she saw your appearance, she should have come out alone to kill someone tonight."

The brothers were shocked.

Mo Ruyan disappeared for a long time, and when he appeared again he became Mo Sanren, a guest elder of Jinshamen.

"So, Master, you are worried about the disaster because of us?" Shu Chitu asked in surprise.

Although Elder Tie Gong collected a high price for each person at the beginning, he taught them everything he knew without keeping anything for himself.

After getting to know him for a long time, I realized that this master was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He was just afraid of trouble and didn't want to get involved in the cause and effect.

Later, Pan Furong became a disciple, and for the sake of Wang Hu and the other two, everything went smoothly and he no longer collected spirit stones.

After getting along for a long time, Wang Hu and his friends also developed feelings for Elder Tie Gong.

Now Elder Tie Gong's bones and muscles are broken, his qi sea is ruptured, and he is already a disabled person. They all feel uncomfortable after hearing this.

"Alas, from now on I can only think of every possible way to collect rare treasures. I dare not say that I can make Master recover, but at least I can make his life better." Zhang Cunyi was sad.

Shu Chitu's eyes rolled around, he thought of an idea, turned to Wang Hu and said.

"Second brother, why don't you go to the Tie family and be a live-in son-in-law to support the family? You are the one with the highest cultivation level among us now!"

"There's no hope for you and Sister Hong. It's been five years and they haven't let you in. Don't keep waiting."

Wang Hu was so angry that he rolled his eyes and cursed.

"You fart..."

Lu Ye heard the chaos and waved his hand for silence, and everyone quieted down.

"Let's get down to business."

"I will keep Elder Tiegong's injuries in mind. As long as it is possible, I will do my best to recover him."

"The most important thing right now is to return to Gushan Sect. We will set off quickly tomorrow."

"Mo Ruyan is particularly vindictive. She was chased away by us today, but we can't guarantee that she will follow us again tomorrow."

"She came alone this time. Perhaps even Yuzhu Ersanren doesn't know her background."

"But we can't say for sure whether she will bring Er Sanren with her when she comes again. If that happens, we will be in danger."

"Fortunately, Gushan Sect and Lingyun Sect are in the same direction. We can go together with Qi Zhentao."

"After passing Lingyun Sect, we will reach Gushan Sect a hundred miles ahead. If we contact the sect's Jindan Sect Master in advance, we should be safe."

"Also, I've thought about it. If I, the vest Lan, ruin Mo Ruyan's plan, it will be inconvenient for the Lan clan members who are still migrating to go to Shunhe City."

"If Mo Ruyan follows him out of anger, the people in the city will suffer."

"I will discuss this with Elder Tie tomorrow. I am willing to serve as a priest of the Gushan Sect and see if I can provide shelter for the people of the sect at the foot of the mountain."

"Fourth brother, you are good at earth escape. Tomorrow morning, ride the eagle demon to send a message to the Blue Tribe, telling them not to go to Shunhe City in Hedong Province of Yan State."

After a few people discussed it, finalized the details, and then went to rest.

Lu Ye released the White Tiger Demon King to keep watch at night.

He took Pan Furong's hand and threw out a tent from the storage ring, which formed a world of its own when it landed on the ground.

The two of them fell in the tent, with endless longing for each other.

The next day.

They both got up early.

Pan Furong's eyes were as clear as spring water and her face was as rosy as peach blossoms. It was obvious that she had a very good rest last night.

Lu Ye put on the mask and transformed himself into Old Ancestor Lan again.

After gathering everyone together, he collected the paper yard and Shu Chitu threw out the mechanical puppet donkey.

The donkey, which had made great contributions, had its fur and skin missing patches here and there, and it looked as if it had been gnawed by insects. It was extremely worn out, but in fact it was still strong.
