I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 302: Kill the giant python!
Taian Yundao.

The Dongshan area is vast and boundless, with abundant spiritual energy, so there are many spiritual creatures and rich resources.

With abundant resources, prosperous trade emerged.

When monks trade, they naturally don’t go over mountains and across rivers like ordinary people do. Instead, they fly directly into the clouds and travel across the country.

And over the years of trade exchanges, some safe "cloud channels" have naturally emerged.

These waterways in the clouds are high in the sky. Below the clouds are the boundaries of some powerful sects. With the suppression of these powerful sects, no robbery cultivators from any direction dare to break in, and safety is greatly increased.

At this moment, above the floating clouds named "Tai'an Cloud Road", a golden treasure boat was breaking through layers of floating clouds and speeding towards the south.

The treasure ship was huge, hundreds of feet long and wide, and was hung with golden wind chimes. The sound of the bells caused the surrounding spiritual energy to vibrate continuously, forming a special "sound barrier". Occasionally, some unintelligent demon birds would crash into the treasure ship, but before they could get close, they would be knocked unconscious by the sound barrier and fall into the clouds with flapping wings.

On the top floor of the treasure boat, there is a quiet box. Inside the box, a handsome Taoist with his hair tied up with a green hairpin and wearing an indigo Taoist robe is sitting cross-legged.

In front of him, more than ten spiritual materials were suspended in the air, wrapped in a ball of golden fire.

One after another, the mysterious Dao patterns were peeled off, and then re-condensed in the powerful divine consciousness, and finally formed a strange Dao seal that seemed to be surrounded by countless faces.

"boom!"

"clang!"

At this moment, the powerful magic power condensed into a solid entity and slammed towards the Dao Seal. The Dao Seal and the magic power merged, and a crisp sound of communication was heard in the quiet room.

When the golden sound is heard, the seal is completed!
"call out!"

As Gu Yuan's mind moved, the seal immediately fell into his dantian. Then he urged his magic power, and a mysterious force suddenly emerged.

His entire body, bones, skin, and hair kept moving, but in an instant, he changed from a young and handsome Taoist priest into a burly red-haired man with his head held high.

Not only that, the aura suddenly dropped from the middle stage of the golden elixir to the early stage of the golden elixir.

There was fire all over his body, and all his magic power seemed to have turned into fire.

"Squeak!"

Gu Yuan's mind moved again, and his bones and skin moved again. In just a moment, he changed his appearance again and turned into a pale and thin old man.

His aura dropped again, and this time he only had the strength of the peak of the foundation building stage, and his magic power turned into metal.

A strong man, an old man, a young child, a young man, and many other changes, all depending on Gu Yuan's will, and his aura also changes accordingly.

After a while, he returned to his true form and stopped the experiment.

"It is indeed a secret seal treasured by Qianlang Sect. It is extraordinary..."

Recalling the changes just now, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Wonderful and Mysterious Thousand Seals!
Once this seal is mastered, it can change into a thousand different appearances, and the fluctuations of its magic power will also follow the mind. Unless one's spiritual power is far superior to Gu Yuan's, or one has special methods, it is impossible to see through the true identity of the seal owner. It is a wonderful way to conceal one's whereabouts.

Gu Yuan felt that he might need this seal on this trip, so he exchanged it from the Qianlang Sect's Sutra Hall.

After completing the practice of this seal, Gu Yuan took out a large map and an animal skin map of the Kendo Travels and examined them carefully.

This map is the map of Yunmeng Lake presented by Han Yunsheng. It records the approximate location of the lake covering hundreds of thousands of miles, as well as known secret places and dangerous places, as well as various forces.

"Let's go to Qianyin Valley first and see the strange place created by heaven and earth to see if it can help the Wanxiao Lingyin Seal. Then we can turn to the Nine Islands of the Demon Clan..."

Gu Yuan compared the two maps and made plans in his mind.

But in a flash, his mind surged, and looking at the clouds gradually thinning outside the treasure boat, he changed his mind.

"After passing the Tai'an Cloud Road, we will reach the Yunmeng Lake. We can use the stone liquid to explore it first to see what opportunities there are in this lake that countless people are flocking to, and then make plans..."

The opportunities recorded in the Kendo Travels have existed for many years. Ordinary people have no way of knowing about them, so there is no need to rush.

"clang!"

"clang!"

At this moment, a golden bell rang on the treasure boat, telling everyone that they were about to arrive at the Yunmeng Lake.

At one moment, many disciples of Lingyin Pavilion went onto the deck and looked into the distance.

"Wow!"

At just one glance, many disciples couldn't help but shout out.

There was no longer any land between heaven and earth. In the boundless clouds and mist, a vast lake that connected the sky and the earth and was shrouded in mist came into view.

Mist lingered and mist rose. Countless islands, sacred peaks and shoals seemed to be hidden in a curtain, appearing and disappearing. Golden carps leaped into the sky, cranes flew together, and countless roars of beasts rang out, as if the fairyland had fallen into the mortal world.

The waves are rippling and the water and sky are one color.

It is so huge, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles. Anyone who sees it for the first time will be amazed.

"The vast Yunmeng water and sky are truly vast..."

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged without moving, but he saw everything outside the treasure boat through his powerful divine sense, and he felt a sense of admiration in his heart at the moment.

However, after admiring it, he did not forget the main business. He flipped his hand and took out the blue-gray stone bottle.

"boom!"

When the stone liquid entered the eyes, in an instant, the sky and the earth were upside down, the stars were turning, and all the scenery within a thousand miles turned into gray lines.

However, this distance is just a drop in the bucket compared to the vast Yunmeng Lake.

And among the gray lines, flashing spots of light of different colors swarmed into Gu Yuan's eyes.

The white opportunities that had not been seen for a long time became dense again, stretching across the sight.

There are also quite a few blue spots. In almost every spiritual island, shoal, and water area, there is a faint flickering blue light.

"The land of Yunmeng is rich in natural resources and treasures, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation..."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The water veins in the Yunmeng Lake are extremely abundant, even thicker than the fourth-level spiritual veins, and also have the power of creation. Many treasures that are hard to find in the outside world are produced in the lake.

However, the silver spots are still very few.

But at the end of his sight, a light silver spot of light entered Gu Yuan's field of vision.

When the mind touches it, vague information immediately flows out.

"Demon, fruit..."

"It will mature..."

The monster fruit that is about to mature?

After breaking through the middle stage of the Golden Core, the information about the flow of the stone liquid seemed to become clearer.

"Bah!"

"What pirate ship dares to trespass into my Zhenyun Island!"

While Gu Yuan was checking the stone liquid, the treasure boat did not stop, but went straight all the way and completely entered the Yunmeng Lake.

Not long after entering the swamp, a loud shout suddenly came from the mist below, and then a man with bare chest, extremely strong build, and green horns on his head broke through the clouds and blocked the way of the treasure boat.

The man's aura was a little mixed, but he was actually an early-stage third-order great demon, controlling the wind and clouds with an awe-inspiring presence.

Below him, under the treasure boat, the clouds dispersed, revealing an island covered with gray ancient trees. On the island, countless strange-looking little demons were beating gongs and drums, waving demon flags, making a great noise.

The most important thing is that there is a huge crossbow made of bronze on the island, which is ten feet high. The arrow head is shining with spiritual light and full of murderous aura, staring at the treasure ship closely.

"Brother Gu, I am familiar with this Zunyun Island. The monsters are greedy and they only ask for some tolls. I will send them away. Please wait for a moment, Brother."

At this moment, a divine thought came into Gu Yuan's ears from the box below.

In this box is the Jindan master in charge of Lingyin Pavilion, Wu Taiqing, who has reached the early stage of Jindan cultivation.

Because Lingyin Pavilion is a subordinate of Qianlang Sect, and Gu Yuan has now changed his sect to practice, Wu Taiqing calls Gu Yuan "senior brother" as a sign of respect and to get closer to him.

"Brother Wu, be careful!"

Gu Yuan responded with a smile.

It is not easy to walk in Yunmeng Lake. There are too many big monsters and countless spirits. It is impossible for everyone to fight for life and death every time they come and go.

A Jindan cultivator can live for thousands of years and will not take action if he can avoid it.

After years of exploration, Lingyin Pavilion has found a relatively safe passage. As long as one pays a few spirit stones, one can pass through it without hindrance.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxi, I haven't seen you for many years. I hope you are doing well!"

Wu Taiqing apologized to Gu Yuan, then walked out of the box, came to the floating cloud, and bowed to the big man with green horns.

"So it's Brother Wu. Are you the one sending these dolls to Qianyin Valley again this year?"

After seeing Wu Taiqing, the big man with green horns relaxed his expression a little and bowed to him.

"I can't compare to your natural talent. If I want to improve my cultivation, I need help from outside forces. Please help me, fellow Taoist!"

Wu Taiqing spoke in a gentle voice, then calmly wrapped a storage bag with his magic power and handed it to the green-horned burly man.

The green-horned sturdy man took the storage bag and shook it, but there was no smile on his face. He just said indifferently: "Fellow Daoist Wu, if it were in the past, these spirit stones would naturally be enough for you to pass through. But now is different from the past. The situation in Daze is complicated. I am afraid that this amount of spiritual food is not enough to pay for the passage!"

Wu Taiqing frowned slightly: "Fellow Daoist Qingxi, this path has been practiced in Lingyin Pavilion for three hundred years. If you raise the price without reason, I am afraid it will be a loss of credibility!"

"Haha, credit? Fellow Daoist Wu, don't forget that this is Yunmeng Lake."

Upon hearing this, the big man with green horns burst into laughter, with a mocking tone in his voice.

But in a flash, he put away his smile and said in a slightly softer tone: "Fellow Daoist Wu, I don't want to make things too difficult for you, but right now, my Yunyun Island is in urgent need of spiritual food, so the price must be increased."

Seeing that the other party's attitude had softened, Wu Taiqing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How much do you want to raise the price?"

Mengyun Lake is full of dangers, so it is better not to take action if possible.

Wu Taiqing was not afraid of the big man with green horns in front of him, but this big man with green horns was not the only one on this Zhenyun Island.

There is also a Zhenyun Python on the island that has been practicing for more than 800 years and is in the middle stage of the great demon!

This python is the source of his fear, and it is also the confidence of Zhenyun Island to demand "toll".

"Haha, there's no need to let you spend money, you should have some merchants and disciples from other sects on your boat, why don't you hand them over to me and I'll let them go immediately!"

The big man with green horns seemed to have a plan in mind, and he blurted it out without thinking.

"I'm afraid that what you are doing is a bit unreasonable!"

Wu Taiqing narrowed his eyes immediately, feeling slightly angry.

It is not easy for the treasure boat to travel to Yunmeng Lake, so in addition to the disciples of this sect, the boat also carried many independent practitioners and merchants, as well as some disciples from nearby and friendly sects. Lingyin Pavilion collected the boat fee and escorted them to Yunmeng Lake.

But now, this green-horned man actually set his sights on these traveling merchants and his sect's disciples. Isn't this trying to put Lingyin Pavilion in an unjust position? !

"Hehe, if you don't want to, that's fine. Just pay three times the boat fare and I'll let you go immediately!"

The big man with green horns seemed to have expected this and said with a big laugh.

"Triple the shipping fee?"

Wu Taiqing's face suddenly darkened.

In the past, it would have required tens of thousands of spirit stones, plus a third-level spirit fruit and a piece of spirit ore.

If I pay three times as much now, wouldn’t it mean more than 100,000 spirit stones, three third-level spirit fruits, and three third-level spirit ores?
Spirit stones are a small matter, but these spiritual fruits and spiritual ores are all third-grade quality. Where can I find so many of them?
This is just the toll for the first trip. If you want to go to Qianyin Valley, there are still two checkpoints!
Now I have to pay three times the toll, what should I do with the next two hurdles?

“Fellow Daoist, although our Lingyin Pavilion is a small sect, it is a subordinate sect of Qianlang Sect. We have Daotai in charge of the sect. Don’t be too arrogant!”

Wu Taiqing immediately said coldly.

There is no way he would agree to this request!

"Dao fetus? Is it your sect's Dao fetus?"

"Master Daotai, who practices inaction, would he stand up for these third-level spiritual objects from your Lingyin Pavilion?"

The big man with green horns smiled coldly, showing no fear at all.

"you!"

Wu Taiqing's expression froze, but he couldn't refute for a moment.

Asking the real person to help requires a lot of kindness. It is really difficult for Lingyin Pavilion to trouble the real person with this matter.

After all, he is not our real family member.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxi, we have a senior brother from the Qianlang Sect who is in the middle stage of the Golden Core Stage on board. Please don't overdo it. I am willing to pay another 30,000 Spirit Stones if you can let us pass the island as soon as possible!"

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. At this time, Wu Taiqing can only use Gu Yuan's name to suppress the other party.

"The Qianlang Sect's golden elixir?"

"This sect is the most incompetent in external battles. Do you want to use this sect to suppress me?"

As soon as Wu Taiqing finished speaking, a sinister voice came from the Zhenyun Island below, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, echoing in Wu Taiqing's ears.

"The giant snake?"

Wu Taiqing's face changed and he felt uneasy.

At the same time, on the Zhenyun Island below, a huge spiritual force rose from afar and suddenly attacked the box at the top of the treasure boat.

The void trembled slightly, as if a huge snake shadow was swimming with a hissing sound, as if it could corrode everything, but in an instant, it rushed into the box.

"Roar!"

But at the moment when the snake shadow's soul rushed into the box, an even more surging soul power, carrying the bright moonlight, suddenly erupted, like an invisible sharp blade, sweeping in all directions.

"what!"

The screams resounded through heaven and earth, and cries of pain were suddenly heard from the Zhenyun Island.

"Shh!"

At the same time, a beam of light leaped down from the box, like thunder, and went straight towards the Zhenyun Island.

"Get into formation!"

The cry was filled with panic, but as the cry came, the wind and clouds suddenly surged, and countless poisonous miasma suddenly surged, transforming into a thick spiritual light that covered the entire Zhenyun Island.

"Wow!"

But the figure just shook slightly, like a mirage in the mirror, and disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already inside the formation.

"what?!"

This scene not only made the beings on the island extremely panic-stricken, but also the green-horned man and Wu Taiqing on the floating clouds were extremely shocked.

"Zheng!"

But at this moment, the sound of swords that shook the earth and heaven suddenly rang out on the island. Not only that, there was a violent roar of wind and thunder, as if thunder accompanied by sword light was growing on the island.

"No!"

"Forgive me!"

"I have the opportunity to present it!"

A giant red python knocked over countless rocks, flew into the air from the island, and hurriedly fled towards the swamp, still begging for mercy.

"boom!"

But at this moment, countless waves surged up in the swamp, turning into a huge green hand that covered the sky and the sun, and grasped the giant python tightly.

"Zheng!"

Then, thirty-three sword lights swam back and forth, piercing through all the seals in front of the giant python, like a knife cutting tofu, and pierced straight through the giant python's head.

"boom!"

The flying sand was falling, the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the corpse of a giant python that had been practicing for eight hundred years fell to the ground with a loud bang.
