Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 458 Blending in
The corner of Lu Ye's mouth twitched. This fool could be smart sometimes. Fortunately, he acted well and nothing was exposed.

He comforted Taoist Miyan with a few words and changed the subject.

"Fifth brother, you need to be quiet recently."

“Don’t just go out and arrest people randomly.”

"There will be a big event on Bilang Island tomorrow. Ren Zeping and his fellow disciples from Futu Island have returned to visit Bilang Jun for some unknown reason."

"I heard that there was a treasure appraisal meeting. It was so grand that all the prominent monks in the nearby seas were invited."

"Be careful not to fall into the hands of a passing Jindan."

Taoist Miyan nodded immediately.

"Fourth brother, I will listen to you..."

"No... Futu Island, Ren Zeping..."

He suddenly slammed his head, pressed his thumbs on his temples and rotated them in circles, a look of pain on his face.

"No, no, I seem to have forgotten something."

"Futu Island...Ren Zeping!"

"what is it?"

He lowered his head and turned around in place, his eyes ferocious, and his hands rubbed his temples faster.

Like a very hungry sheep lowering its head to look for grass, it clumsily turns its horns.

Lu Ye was really afraid that he would drill two holes in his head.

He guessed that Taoist Miyan should have remembered some of his sealed memories.

The prohibition method will only be triggered when key words or phrases are touched upon.

There are a lot of blocked memories, but not all of them will trigger the inhibition.

However, the person who issued the ban, such as the eldest brother, would never tell Taoist Miyan which words in his ban were taboo.

to be honest.

Taoist Miyan is now testing the brink of death every time.

When he communicated with Lu Ye, he often used the word "treasure" to refer to it and did not dare to speak directly.

But is he stupid? Sometimes, he becomes much bolder and dares to reveal many forbidden memories.

If Taoist Miyan had normal intelligence, he would not dare to speak so boldly.

"I remember!" Taoist Miyan suddenly looked up in joy, only to see that the skin on both sides of his forehead was rubbed and blood was flowing.

"Master Futu from Futu Island, they are also looking for clues to the treasure!"

"Ren Zeping came here with a mission, that's for sure!"

Lu Ye was shocked.

"Oh? What else do you remember? Think about it again?"

This time, Taoist Miyan rubbed his temples so hard that his hands turned red, and he couldn't remember anything.

He looked up at Lu Ye pitifully, with an innocent face - Fourth brother, I really can't remember.

"It seems like we have to sneak into the island!" Lu Ye murmured.

Fortunately, the East China Sea is vast, with countless islands and monks. Lord Bilang opened the gates of his mountain to show off his returning disciples and to gild his reputation.

It shouldn't be difficult to sneak in tomorrow.

The next day.

The 72 islands of Cape Bilang have been given a brand new look.

Ever since they knew that Ren Zeping, the pride of Bilang Cape, was returning, the monks spared no effort in using their magic power to clean the cave buildings one by one using cleaning techniques.

He also renovated the dilapidated towns of the mortals.

Bilangjun is almost getting old, but Ren Zeping is like the rising sun. If he really cultivates to the Nascent Soul stage, he still has another 800 years to live.

Suppressing the East China Sea cannot be done.

However, it is enough to protect the 72 islands in Cape Bilang.

Especially on Bilang Island.

Today, Lord Bilang and his wife are dressed up and prepared, and the disciples on the island also put on their best spirits, ready to meet this legendary senior brother.

The island pier was decorated with lights and a colorful archway was erected.

Everyone lined up early and were waiting there.

Madam Bilang stayed beside Mr. Bi, looking up at the sky from time to time, with an anxious look on her face, muttering why he hadn't come yet.

Today she carefully put on light makeup, wore a pearl hairpin on her head, yellow flowers on her temples, a faint precious fragrance lingered around her body, and she wore a pink palace robe.

After she achieved the Golden Elixir, she used her magical powers at a great cost to reverse her time to look like she was sixteen or seventeen years old.

Now she looks even smaller, and standing next to Bilang-Jun, they don't look like a couple, but more like a grandfather and grandson.

Bilangjun smiled and patted his wife's hand.

"Madam, please be patient."

"Haven't we already sent eight foundation-building disciples from the island to go a hundred miles to welcome them?"

"It will surely arrive soon."

The two of them were talking.

Lights of light kept falling all around, and the deacons called out names. Most of them were the owners of the 72 islands in Cape Bilang, and the clan leaders of the nearby small islands in the lawless areas.

These people came in and saluted the two of them, then joined the waiting queue on the side, craning their necks and looking forward to it.

As for the other Jindan cultivators in the sea area, they valued their status and would definitely come, but they could not arrive early. In fact, they calculated the time accurately and walked slowly on the road using the light of escape.

Hundreds of miles away.

A beam of light passed by.

Four black snakes were galloping, with reins tied to their bodies, pulling a jeweled carriage behind them.

There were two people sitting opposite each other in the carriage.

One male and one female.

The man was dressed in white, and looked handsome, young and handsome; the woman had pearls and jade on her head, looked noble, and was wearing a palace dress, with a reserved and proud look on her face.

She looked down at the scattered islands in the seas below and chuckled.

"Brother Ren, did you walk out of this small sea area?"

"My Buddha 800 Islands is one of the three major sects in the East China Sea."

"As far as I can remember, I have never seen such a small sea area."

"Fortunately, you became my father's disciple. If you had stayed here for the rest of your life, it would have wasted your talent."

The man opposite had a smile on his face.

"Senior sister is absolutely right!"

He glanced at the scattered islands below and a look of disgust flashed across his face.

"If it wasn't for Master's arrangement to track down clues about the Dragon Palace, how could I let a fairy-like figure like Senior Sister come to this remote place?"

These two people were none other than Ren Zeping and his fellow disciples whom Mr. and Mrs. Bilang had been waiting for for a long time.

Just from the conversation between the two, it was obvious that Ren Zeping was carefully trying to please this senior sister, and even his eyes showed undisguised admiration for her.

The other party's background is very powerful.

Cheng Bingyan, the beloved daughter of Futu Zhenren, the master of Futu Island and a late Jindan cultivator, is a favored daughter of heaven who is doted on by the island master!

Seeing his flattering look, Cheng Bingyan said "oh" and smiled nonchalantly.

"Which master are you talking about?"

"Junior brother, you have two masters!"

Ren Zeping became anxious and his face turned pale.

"Sister, I, Ren Zeping, was able to hear the Great Dao and cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, all thanks to Master's painstaking cultivation."

"If we only rely on the few resources on Bilang Island, then..." Ren Zeping pondered for a moment, "the old man would only be willing to give the resources to his Taoist partner."

"Where is my share?"

"As the heaven and earth bear witness, I, Ren Zeping, have only had one master from beginning to end, and that is my father, Master Futu, the master of Futu Island!"

Ren Zeping spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice with sincerity in his eyes. He looked at Senior Sister Cheng with a satisfied smile, then lowered his head to look at the desolate sea view outside.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Finally got over it.

Difficult!

Bilang Cape is a remote and poor place with insufficient resources for cultivating immortals. Bilang Island is not enough to support a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Another major event happened that year, so he left decisively and became a disciple of Futu Island, where he was accepted as a disciple by Futu Zhenren.

He also worked hard and achieved the great perfection of the golden elixir after several decades.

but.

Although Bilang Island has few resources, it also has less intrigue. He is the most outstanding disciple, and Bilang Jun will train him to be his successor, so naturally he will not restrict his resource supply.

you could put it that way.

Bilangjun has given him all the resources he can get as the successor.

It is true that Futu Island is one of the three major sects in the East China Sea.

But the competition is too fierce!

Buddha Master sits high on the top of the pyramid, having reached the Great Perfection State of the Nascent Soul. He has wasted many years just to achieve the status of Transformation of the Gods.

Below the True Person, there are seven major disciples, all of whom have the cultivation level of Nascent Soul, ranging from the late stage to the initial stage.

Once he had achieved the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, he would be the pride of the islands if he were placed in Bilang Cape.

But on Futu Island, there are dozens of such Golden Core Great Perfection monks!
Apart from those who have worked their way up over the years, those who have no potential, and those who are approaching their time of death, there are still three or five elites like him!

If it weren't for his heavenly armor grade single spiritual root with water attribute that caught the eye of Master Futu, how could he have become his disciple?
But even so, none of the others were weaker than him.

Some are direct blood relatives of Buddha Zhenren, some have elders in their family who are in the Nascent Soul stage, and some have old Nascent Souls who accidentally died in battle and were reincarnated to cultivate again.

Every one of them is a monster.

Not long after Ren Zeping joined Futu Island, he realized that if he continued to practice hard, he would eventually fall behind others.

After he achieved the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, he practiced hard for ten years, but there was no sign of a breakthrough.

Afterwards, he spent most of his time every day on Cheng Bingyan and stopped practicing martial arts.

This girl has average physique, but thanks to her good father, Master Futu, she has been able to push herself to the Golden Core level, which is still only the intermediate level.

But there were countless disciples on the island who wanted to get close to this girl. As long as they caught her eyes, they would enjoy endless benefits if something slipped out from Master Futu's fingers.

Ren Zeping has greater ambitions.

He wanted to marry Cheng Bingyan and live in Futu Island!
Buddha True Man had many descendants, but perhaps only three or five of them practiced Taoism. I don’t know if it was because of the Buddha skills he practiced, but they were all girls.

Among them, Cheng Bingyan has the highest level of cultivation.

If you capture this girl, you may be able to become the master of Futu Island in the future!

Of course, there were many disciples on the island who had such plans, and there were even Nascent Soul cultivators competing with Ren Zeping! Fortunately, Cheng Bingyan was not stupid.

She knew that if she gave herself to a Yuanying, it would definitely disrupt the balance of Futu Island that had existed for hundreds of years, so she rationally refused.

All the Jindan disciples vied for the first place.

Ren Zeping finally came out on top with his handsome face, top-grade spiritual roots, and the strongest golden elixir cultivation.

In the past few years, he and Cheng Bingyan have been together for a long time. Although he has not really succeeded, he has become the closest person to her among the male disciples.

He was also very strict, always calling her "senior sister" every day, not daring to show any sign of self-indulgence or pride.

Such hard work finally moved the heavens - Futu Zhenren became the god of the island.

The Immortal occasionally gave him some pointers and also bestowed upon him the magic weapon, the Fu Bo Staff.

The difficult problems that Ren Zeping had been struggling to solve were easily understood and solved with the guidance of a real person.

Even though he had less time for cultivation due to accompanying Cheng Bingyan in recent years, he often had sudden realizations, and even the unbreakable Nascent Soul stage gradually emerged from the fog.

In the next ten years, he may make a breakthrough at any time.

Ren Zeping knew very well that everything was hard-earned and depended on Cheng Bingyan alone, so he worked even harder.

A dozen days ago.

Master Futu summoned him and said that he had received some news and suspected that the clue to the Dragon Palace appeared in the area of ​​Bilang Cape, which was a piece of colorful dragon scale.

Ren Zeping was from Bilangjiao and was sent to investigate and retrieve the item.

He was unwilling in his heart, but he could not disobey his master's orders. Cheng Bingyan was bored staying on the island and insisted on coming along. Along the way, she acted like a real princess and complained about the remoteness of the sea area. Ren Zeping had to deal with him carefully.

He glanced at the rapidly approaching sea below and felt a trace of worry in his heart.

Waited to return to the island.

That person must not make any unwise moves to arouse Cheng Bingyan's suspicion...

Ren Zeping was distracted when he heard Cheng Bingyan's sarcastic voice.

"what!"

"Those eight stupid geese flying low in the sky ahead are your poor relatives from Cape Bilang, right?"

"How shabby! They actually let eight foundation-building disciples come out to greet them!"

"If it is placed on Futu Island, at least eight Jindan will be needed!"

"Your cheap master doesn't seem to think highly of you!"

Ren Zeping smiled bitterly.

My senior sister, the entire Bilang Cape plus the three nearby sea areas cannot even gather eight golden elixirs!

"Senior sister, I'm sorry for letting you suffer for my sake!"

"Also, I will have to deal with the situation when I talk later, so please don't take me too seriously about the names."

Ren Zeping flattered him and waved the whip.

The four winged black snakes turned and ran towards the low sky.

He had stepped out of the carriage, stood on the step, and let out a long howl.

The eight people below looked up. Among them was an old acquaintance who had studied martial arts together with Ren Zeping. When he saw Ren Zeping, he was overjoyed and came forward to greet him.

"Elder brother..."

"No!"

When the acquaintance saw Ren Zeping's face turn dark, he suddenly had an idea and knelt down!
"Welcome Patriarch Ren!"

Ren Zeping showed a knowing smile on his face, which came from the heart without any disguise.

Hasn't he endured it all these years just for this moment?

When you achieve Nascent Soul and control Futu Island...

Ren Zeping's thoughts ran wild and finally turned into a sentence.

"Brother, please get up. How can I be worthy of being called the ancestor?"

"Let's get back to the island!"

A row of bicycles turned around and headed towards Bilang Island.

During this period, Ren Zeping was amiable and friendly, without any airs, and those familiar junior colleagues also relaxed.

Everyone chatted about some interesting topics.

Ren Zeping learned that there was a Zhongxiang Island in the lawless area outside Bilangjiao. There were two Jindan ancestors on the island, one named Taoist and the other named Turtle King.

Lu Daoren became a close friend of his master Bilangjun and gave him the Second Flower, showing great generosity.

It's just that recently someone broke into the island and broke through the formation to seize people, and he was covered in shame and so on.

Ren Zeping seemed to be listening carefully and nodding, but his thoughts were spreading out - Master asked me to look for a clue about the Dragon Palace, which is a colorful dragon scale. It is said to have appeared in Bilang Cape. Where can I find it?
Cheng Bingyan, on the other hand, seemed to be sitting in the carriage in aloof manner, ignoring the eight foundation-building disciples, but she pricked up her ears and listened with great interest.

Wow, silver robes and white clothes, breaking into the island and seizing people, so exciting...

They both have their own thoughts.

Not long after.

An island appeared in front of us, and we had arrived at Cape Bilang!
-

A flying black snake carriage appeared in the air.

Everyone on Bilang Island was excited.

At this moment, two inconspicuous rays of light happened to fall onto the island from a low altitude.

The light dispersed, revealing a monk with a silver-armored spear and an old man holding a banner with the word "fortune-telling" written on it.

The deacon did not call out the names, but instead opened the invitation and looked at it.

"The two foundation-building island masters of Erzhu Island?"

"Silver Armor Ma Chao, no Taoist allowed?"

“I haven’t heard of it!”

"Ah? You just happened to pass by and came to see the style of the Golden Core Master?"

The disciple was ready to say a few more words to verify it carefully.

Snapped!
He received a slap on the back of his head, and an older senior brother rushed over and said anxiously.

"crazy?"

"Senior Brother Tianshang Ren and the distinguished guests from Futu Island have arrived."

"Why don't you clear the mountain gate?"

The senior brother glanced at Silver-Armored Ma Chao and Buzhun Taoist and waved his hand.

"Come in, come in, everyone here is a guest!"

"Golden elixirs are gathering today, don't do anything stupid if you don't want to die!"

He stuffed two tokens into the hands of the two men. With these tokens, they could enter and leave the island today without worrying about being blocked by the defensive formations. However, they were still not allowed to enter the many restricted areas on the island.

Silver-armored Ma Chao and Buzhun Taoist hurriedly thanked their senior brother, nodded and squeezed into the welcoming crowd.

Not long after.

The carriage landed from the sky.

A handsome, tall, bright-eyed young man, with his hand stretched out a beautiful, proud, and cold woman, to help her out of the carriage.

The crowd cheered.

Countless people shouted "Senior Brother Ren", "Ren Zeping" and so on.

Many female cultivators blushed as they looked at the handsome legendary figure.

Mr. Bilang laughed loudly, Mrs. Bilang's eyes turned red, and the two of them came forward together.

Ren Zeping straightened his sleeves and took a few quick steps.

"Master! Master!"

He shouted twice and was about to kneel down.

Lord Bilang and Lady Bilang waved their sleeves together, and two waves of air hit Ren Zeping's feet and lifted him up.

The two of them seemed to be resentful but were actually happy.

"Ping'er, you have now achieved the Golden Elixir and are a disciple of Futu Island. You are here to represent the reputation of Futu Island. How can you kneel?"

"Now that you are more powerful than Master and his wife, let's treat each other as equals!"

Ren Zeping stood up and shook his head hurriedly.

"Once a teacher, always a teacher, the seniority should not be confused!"

After the three of them met happily, Ren Zeping introduced Cheng Bingyan, who was standing behind him, to his master and his mistress, saying, "This is the apple of the eye and the apple of the heart of my master, Master Futu."

Mr. Bilang and Mrs. Bilang hurriedly gave another round of compliments.

Cheng Bingyan had heard compliments so many times since she was a child that her ears were callused and she was completely immune to it.

"what?"

She has cultivated a skill to stop evil thoughts, and her five senses are sharper than those of ordinary people. She can sense danger, especially the murderous intentions of human cultivators towards her.

Cheng Bingyan discovered that although Madam Bilang concealed her feelings very well, with a smile on her face and warm words, she actually had deep hostility towards her.

She was puzzled.

Is my beauty so stunning?

After a lively discussion, everyone welcomed Ren Zeping and Cheng Bingyan onto the island.

at this time.

There were also huge lights shining in all four directions.

The Black Mountain Master from Black Mountain Island, the Fire Cloud Master from Fire Cloud Island, and the Ironclad Shrimp King from Prawn Island all rushed over.

Zhongxiang Island, which has been embarrassing lately with its donkey pulling the mill in circles, has Guizu injured and Lu Zu is guarding the formation. This time, it only sent Lan Wutong, and the momentum is much weaker.

In addition, there were several independent cultivators who had come from other sea areas to show their support, and for a while the island became extremely lively.

There are laughter and joy everywhere on Bilang Island.

The island master scattered countless spirit stones and personally entertained all the golden elixirs in the hall on the top of the peak.

Outside the hall.

More than twenty tables were set up to entertain the monks who came to build their foundation.

Silver-armored Ma Chao and Buzhun Daoren had signs hanging around their waists. They sat at a table outside and ate to their heart's content.

The old Taoist grabbed a fish from the plate with both hands, took a bite of it, and ate until his mouth was full of oil.

"Fourth brother, eat!"

"This is much better than the raw fish we have on our island."

Silver-armored Ma Chao covered his face and felt ashamed.

The island owners around were surprised to hear this. How poor must the islands of these two brothers be? They still have to eat raw fish?
