Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 60: Living in seclusion to practice, an old friend comes to visit

"Master, you are back."

Tian Ming'an looked at Jiang Sheng in surprise.

Jiang Sheng has been away from Qingping Mountain for so long. During this time, the status of those who came to visit the mountain became higher and higher, and their cultivation level became deeper and deeper.

Although Tian Ming'an received Jiang Sheng's instructions, he was inevitably a little embarrassed.

Now that Jiang Sheng is back, Tian Mingan has a backbone.

"Who has come to visit me as a teacher?"

Jiang Sheng returned to Qingxuan Temple in a good mood.

In his dojo, Jiang Sheng felt extremely comfortable.

Tian Ming'an quickly took out the greeting cards one after another: "This is the greeting card from senior Zha Liangping."

"This is a greeting card sent by senior Zhao Hong from the Zhao family in Hai County, saying that he has met you."

"Every major Zifu family in Qingzhou has sent greeting cards, as well as greeting cards from Tianjian Sect, Qingyun Sect and Lanyue Sect."

"As for those foundation-building families, there are even more."

Jiang Sheng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't pay attention to these things."

Tian Mingan added: "Master, Qingyun Sect and Tianjian Sect also sent you a meeting gift."

Jiang Sheng casually took the gift list and looked at it. There was a series of materials listed on it.

Third-level spirit-guiding gold, fire copper stone, flame chalcedony, and black ice crystal
There are also third-level elixirs such as Nine-leaf Zhizhi, Fulongshen, Huanxincao, and Five Willow Roots.

"This is really a great gift. Can they tell you why?" Jiang Sheng asked.

Tian Ming'an shook his head: "They didn't say why, they put down the invitation and left."

Jiang Sheng chuckled and threw the gift list to Tian Ming'an again: "After all, this is the Jindan sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, and its human relations are really impeccable."

"Ming'an, find a side hall to use as a warehouse and store all those things."

"When I have time to work as a master, I will be able to refine elixirs and weapons, so I will put them to use."

Tian Ming'an smiled and said, "Disciple, take your orders."

After returning to Qingxuan Temple, Jiang Sheng resumed his peaceful practice again.

After sending the invitation, none of the three major sects or the eight major families in Qingzhou came to bother Jiang Sheng again, even if they knew that Jiang Sheng was back.

Jiang Sheng also lived in Qingping Mountain without leaving the house, and the two sides maintained this rare tacit understanding.

Whether it is the three Jindan sects or the eight Zifu aristocratic families, they know Jiang Sheng's temperament very well.

Jiang Sheng is not the kind of person who will disturb the world once he succeeds.

Jiang Sheng, who was born in the Xuanmen orthodox sect, has an excellent mind. He is not burdened by external things and only focuses on cultivation.

This poses no threat to the original forces in Qingzhou and will not affect their status.

After all, Jiang Sheng is just cultivating here, and he may collect the medicine and return to Penglai at some point.

The Dragon Crossing the River has no influence on the local snakes, so no matter the aristocratic family or the sect, they are willing to have good relations with Jiang Sheng. After all, Jiang Sheng will not covet anything from them.

On the contrary, if a casual cultivator or a weak-minded person gains strength, they will turn the place upside down, eager to let others know how powerful they are.

Moreover, such people will compete with local sects and aristocratic families for resources and territory, affecting the stability of one party.

Due to emotions and reasons, the sects and aristocratic families in Qingzhou prefer Penglai masters like Jiang Sheng.

Those who come from the Xuanmen orthodox sect will not be any worse at doing things or being a person.

Cold comes and summer comes, and the years pass by gracefully.

The reputation of Qingxuan Temple in Qingping Mountain resounds throughout Qingzhou. Although Taoist Master Jiang Sheng has not shown up for several years, who among the practitioners in Qingzhou can forget the man who attacked Zifu when he was building the foundation, and the Zifu realm A Taoist master who kills the golden elixir with a sword?

On the top of the main peak of Qingping Mountain, Jiang Sheng flattened the top with a sword and took Tian Ming'an to practice here.

"Left, right, right, left!"

Tian Ming'an struggled to resist Jiang Sheng's offensive with his left and right moves.

It was said to be an offensive attack, but in reality Jiang Sheng randomly picked up a branch to test Tian Ming'an's swordsmanship.

Seeing Tian Mingan's embarrassed appearance, Jiang Sheng sighed helplessly.

"With one breath, you can reveal three flaws."

Tian Mingan lowered his head: "Master, your swordsmanship is extraordinary and holy. Even if you lower your cultivation level, it is still not something that my disciple can resist."

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "You do know how to praise others."

"That's all, that's it for today."

After hearing this, Tian Ming'an stepped forward quickly: "Master, please tell me about Penglai."

Jiang Sheng randomly found a smooth stone slab and sat down: "I can't tell you much about Penglai, but I can tell you about Yuanqiao."

"Yuan Qiao?" Tian Ming'an quickly sat down and waited for Jiang Sheng to continue.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Jiang Sheng had a slight smile on his face, as if he was recalling the past: "Yes, Yuanqiao is one of the outer islands of Penglai, and it is also the place where he has lived as a teacher for more than ten years."

"Yuanqiao has a radius of thousands of miles, and there are millions of living beings on it, half of whom are mortals and half of whom are monks."

"Every hundred years, Yuan Qiao will appear briefly. At that time, the creatures in this eastern continent can go to sea to search for him. Anyone who can find Yuan Qiao and pass the three passes will be eligible to worship in Penglai."

"My master also stayed in Yuanqiao until he was fifteen years old, and then passed three levels before joining the Taoist sect." Tian Ming'an was a little confused: "Master, even with your status, can't you directly join Penglai?"

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but laugh: "What is your identity as a teacher? A teacher is just an orphan who was abandoned by his parents at birth."

"Then the old man who saved my master is only an inner disciple of Penglai. How can I let my master directly join Penglai?"

"Ming'an, do you know why there are so many mortals and monks on Yuanqiao? Most of them are clansmen and disciples of Penglai's past disciples."

"But even if they are the descendants of a certain elder, if they cannot pass the three passes, they are still not allowed to worship in Penglai and can only live on the outer island. This is an iron rule."

"Penglai does not belong to one family."

Tian Ming'an couldn't help but look yearning after hearing this.

Penglai is not a family with one surname. Whether they are disciples or family members, they ignore their background and only look at their own abilities.

Only such a sect can be the best in the world, right?

"Don't think too much about this. You need to practice hard, otherwise you won't be able to pass the three levels in the future. Don't think that your teacher can control you."

Jiang Sheng's voice was gentle, but Tian Ming'an knew the weight of this warning.

"Master, don't worry, my disciple will definitely be able to worship in Penglai in the future." Tian Mingan said solemnly.

Jiang Sheng smiled and said: "If you have the heart, practice hard. I don't have many masters, so I am pretty good at swordsmanship, making talismans, and alchemy."

"You don't need to think too much now. Just practice your sword skills and learn how to make talismans."

After saying this, Jiang Sheng stood up and looked at Qingxuan Temple halfway up the mountain.

He has been in Qingping Mountain for nearly ten years, and the spiritual energy in Qingping Mountain has become more and more abundant. The spiritual veins hidden in the main peak are obviously not only the third level.

With such a spiritual vein, Jiang Sheng can practice peacefully until the late Zifu period, and then travel around the Eastern Continent in search of his own opportunity to form elixirs.

To form a high-quality elixir, the essence, energy, and spirit must be round and flawless.

The chance of forming an elixir does not only refer to the great medicine of forming an elixir. The most important thing is to sharpen one's Taoist mind and understand one's nature through traveling among the mountains and rivers.

As for the elixir-forming medicine, it comes second.

The fourth-level treasure awarded to him by the Master Master, for this reason, the only thing useful to the pill formation is the Bodhi Fruit.

"It's rare to have half a day's leisure in a floating life, so you better practice cultivation."

After saying that, Jiang Sheng flew down the mountain and returned to Qingxuan Temple to continue his retreat.

Several years have passed, and the reputation of Qingxuan Temple in Qingping Mountain has become more and more famous in Qingzhou. The more Jiang Sheng does not show up, the more miraculous it is.

Now not only the monks in Qingzhou know that there is a genius living in seclusion in Qingzhou.

On this day, a young Taoist named Shi Shiran, wearing a mysterious robe and a green crown, came to Qingping Mountain.

The Taoist has a strong and handsome face, extraordinary bearing, and walks freely and naturally.

Arriving in front of Qingxuan Temple, looking at this clean and elegant Taoist temple, and after some reflections, the Taoist couldn't help but smile and said: "What a blessed place."

"Senior invited me. I wonder why I came to Qingxuan Monastery?"

Tian Ming'an looked at the Taoist in front of him with some vigilance. This Taoist's strength was unfathomable. He could compare with his master no matter how he looked at it.

Why wasn't Tian Mingan alert?
When did such a profound Taoist come to Qingzhou?

"This Taoist boy, Jiang Sheng, Jiang Yuanchen, are practicing here?" the Taoist said with a smile.

Just as Tian Ming'an was about to speak, he heard his master's voice.

"May I ask which Jiang Sheng and which Jiang Yuanchen your distinguished guest is looking for?"

The Taoist smiled and said: "Of course it's Jiang Sheng from Yuanqiaoyu Town and Jiang Yuanchen from Penglai East Courtyard."

Jiang Shengshi Shiran came out of the meditation, looked at the Taoist in front of him, and suddenly said with a smile: "Fifteen years have passed since Penglai, how is everything going with Brother Yunxuan?"

"I think everything is fine, but how is brother Yuan Chen?" the Taoist said with a smile.

Jiang Sheng laughed and said to Tian Ming'an: "This is Lin Fan, Lin Yunxuan, my good friend who is my teacher in Dao Sect. You should call me Uncle Lin."

Tian Ming'an quickly bowed and said, "Ming'an has met Uncle Lin."

Lin Fan smiled and said: "Brother Yuan Chen, this disciple is quite smart, and he will definitely be a figure in the future."

"When we meet for the first time, I don't have much to give. Earlier in the Wei Kingdom, my uncle cut off the head of a dragon and gave it a horn as a gift for you to play with."

As he spoke, Lin Fan took out a six-foot-long dragon's horn. The ferocious look on it clearly indicated that it was a dragon's horn that was about to form a pill.

Tian Ming'an took the dragon's horn in a panic and quickly thanked him.

Jiang Sheng had already led Lin Fan into the Taoist temple.

In the front hall, Lin Fan carefully sipped the tea, and then sighed with satisfaction: "I haven't drank this Kirigakure tea from Denxiandai for more than ten years. I knew that Brother Yuan Chen must have a treasure here. Kirigakure tea."

Jiang Sheng said angrily: "I don't have much stock of this tea. You, Lin Yunxuan, came here, just for my cup of tea?"

Lin Fan laughed loudly and then said seriously: "Of course not!"

"Lin's ambition is like a river flowing eastward and flowing into the sea. How can he be greedy for a cup of tea?"

"I came here this time because I found an opportunity. Brother Yuan Chen, would you like to go with me?"

"What opportunity?" Jiang Sheng became interested. He was very curious about what good thing Lin Fan would travel thousands of miles to find.

Lin Fan said: "Water and Fire Spirit Pearl!"
