Chapter 258: Breaking the flower, good things are coming

Deep in the underground palace of the God’s Tomb, the aura of the Silence God settled like fog.

The Thousand Souls Flower, standing withered and silent, was as huge as a mountain. Suddenly, a small piece of its dark red shell protruded outward. There was a flash of golden light in the darkness, and then the shell was hit violently, protruding three feet and then falling off.

The golden light and the dark green and red flames complemented each other, suddenly tearing through the darkness and illuminating the area within several feet.

Xu Yuanchang crawled out of the hole, laughing loudly, and found the weak shell of the petals. He spent several years and put a lot of effort to dig a hole and escaped early.

There is no need to elaborate on the hardships involved.

However, there are gains and losses. After years of repeated consumption and replenishment and recovery, his cultivation level was promoted to the late stage of Qi Transformation.

The two incarnations have been tempered and nurtured day after day, and have already reached the initial stage of Qi Transformation.

The space of the Fantasy Fairy Ring expanded to one hundred and fifty feet. What made him happy was that he had mastered the regional division of the ring space. He generously marked out a corner for the rabbit, an area of ​​at least fifty feet, as the rabbit's private space for eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping.

This is to commend the rabbit's spirit of sacrifice for the sake of everyone, but also a small punishment for the rabbit for instigating him to take the risk of being trapped. He has always been clear about gratitude and resentment.

The ungrateful rabbit didn't even appreciate the kindness, and instead said sarcastically that the man was petty and vindictive.

Xu Yuanchang waved his hand casually, and two black shadows emerged from his body and pounced towards the deepest part of the God's Tomb. The petal shell that was dug out with great difficulty was a rare top-grade material and should not be wasted.

In a corner of the Creation Altar, there are many broken pieces of petal shell fiber materials, which are particularly difficult to refine.

The fragments collected a few years ago are still there and have not turned into liquid.

He was not in a hurry. He waited until he advanced to the fourth level, and then the Creation Altar would be elevated to a higher level.

It is just a matter of slowly refining it with the skill of a grinding mill. As the saying goes, good things are worth waiting for.

Soon, the two incarnations picked up the three-foot wide and two-foot long petal material that had fallen to the bottom.

They also used their magic power to collect a ball of pitch-black, dirty, wet mud, about seven or eight feet in size. It was formed after thousands of years of precipitation from the erosion of the divine energy, and it contained all kinds of messy ingredients and impurities.

I heard from Rabbit that rare materials can be extracted from the erosion mud.

There is no use for the monks of the fifth and sixth floors to collect them because they cannot refine them. The super masters who can refine them are not interested in collecting them.

Xu Yuanchang did not dislike the dirty mud with a strange smell. He collected it first when he came across it, put the petal materials and mud balls into the ring space, and sealed them separately to prevent the toxic smell of the mud balls from contaminating other objects.

The incarnation was collected into the space, and rolled on the altar, and all the poisonous residues were refined away.

He flew upwards in a very good mood.

……

At the foot of Cangpuling, in the remaining village, there are complete courtyards that are suitable for living.

The old yellow dog was lying in front of the open yard gate, basking in the sun.

The snow has melted long ago, and it is the early part of the twelfth lunar month, with rare good weather.

There were sounds of conversation in the yard.

"...You don't know how big the world is until you travel far. I have traveled to most of the territory of the Great Ning Dynasty this time. Aunt Liu, you will never guess what kind of extraordinary master I met in the small Pingqian County of Pingbo County? That is what you call a god-like figure, and his demeanor is amazing."

Xu Shengtian went on a long journey and wandered around until the New Year. He went around and came to Cangpuling to see if his third uncle had come out.

He was a little afraid of the powerful bamboo broom in his mother's hand.

It’s the end of the year and I have to go home and face it again.

He was prepared to ask Aunt Liu to go back and block the way. No matter how fierce his mother was, she seemed like a different person when facing Aunt Liu.

Try to avoid every hurdle you can and get out early next year.

Zeng Shanlang skillfully brewed tea and poured water, and listened with a smile to Danwa's talk. He had seen all the relatives of his master's family. He and Danwa were about the same age, and they had played together several times in Bailin Valley.

He is a reserved person, and after not seeing him for over six years, I feel like he has become a different person.

Liu Xianfeng said casually: "You are talking about the Pingqian Mountain God. We drank together before."

Xu Shengtian's eyes widened and he shouted, "No wonder the old mountain god was too nice to me. It felt like... like a son or nephew. He insisted on keeping me on the mountain for more than a month, allowing me to travel around the mountains and rivers every day and teach me how to practice in harmony with heaven and earth. So you two know each other."

Liu Xianfeng guessed that it was probably because of Danwa's cultivation of gods, and had nothing to do with their acquaintance with the old mountain god.

With the old mountain god's cleverness, he would definitely find out about the egg baby's background.

Suddenly, there was a dog barking outside.

Liu Xianfeng floated out with a "swoosh".

Flying into the air, I saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of a collapsed rock cave from afar. In the sunlight, he was smiling brightly at me.

"Don't come over yet, wait for me to eliminate the Silent God's Corruption Aura that has stained my body."

Xu Yuanchang greeted him with a smile, which surprised him that Zeng Shanlang and Danwa were also here.

There was an invisible wave that swept his body three times along with the golden light, and Xu Yuanchang walked down slowly. The Silent God's Erosion Qi had a characteristic that it could quickly dissipate in the air.

"Disciple greets Master, I pay my respects to Master!"

"Good luck to Third Uncle!"

"Get up, get up, you're welcome."

Xu Yuanchang extended his hand to support the two young men who were bowing, and asked the little tree spirit who kept his elder demeanor in front of the younger generation with a smile: "How many years have I been in seclusion this time?"

He touched the head of the yellow dog that was wagging its tail and circling around him.

"Five years, eleven months and twelve days."

Liu Xianfeng remembered it very clearly. She was counting the days, fearing that something might go wrong with Fellow Daoist Xu.

Seeing that Fellow Daoist Xu had survived the disaster safely, she felt relieved.

Several people returned to the cleaned yard.

Xu Yuanchang sat in the first seat and asked about his disciple's situation first. He learned that his disciple had been on rest for forty days and had been waiting here for half a month. Including the time for the journey, he could stay for another five days. He then asked about his disciple's practice and encouraged him well.

He took out an empty jade bottle from his sleeve, and with a wave of his hand, a drop of Thousand Souls Liquid condensed into a bead appeared.

The beads emitted a dark red glow and when thrown into an empty bottle, a strange fragrance filled the air.

"There are still four years left. I hope you can continue to work hard and reach a higher level. Break through and advance to the third level of physical cultivation. Only then will you have a better chance of survival when you go to the Dark Realm in the future."

Xu Yuanchang handed the bottle to his disciple who was listening attentively, and said, "After you go back, take a few days to retreat and swallow this bead to absorb the medicinal power. It can increase your soul strength by 30-50%. Don't be afraid of wasting it. It will be beneficial for your future promotion to the third level."

Zeng Shanlang immediately realized the preciousness of the treasure given by his master, and it would be a waste to let him swallow it, so he took it with both hands and bowed.

He didn't say any polite words or make any promises. He kept all the kindness his master had shown him in his heart.

In the ring space, the rabbit was lying on the three-foot-long nest, with colorful fur on its body. It sighed: "A cow chewing a peony, Fellow Daoist Xu, can you make things worse? A purified and refined Thousand Souls Pearl can at least be exchanged for..."

He didn't know the current prices, but he could exchange them for many fifth-level materials.

Xu Yuanchang transmitted a message: "Everything is valuable only when it is put to good use." The situation was extremely critical. No matter how good the treasure was, it could not compare with life.

Moreover, the rarer the natural treasure, the more immeasurable its effect on low-level cultivators.

Xu Shengtian sniffed and salivated. The fragrance of the beads aroused his desire. He stretched out his hand and asked for some, "Uncle San, I will also become your disciple and join Bailin Valley to guard the gate for you. I eat very little, so three or five beads will be enough for you."

Xu Yuanchang looked at his nephew, left his hand hanging, and asked with a smile, "How far have you cultivated?"

"I don't know how far I've come. I can fight with an ordinary three-story building, but I definitely can't beat him. I haven't learned how to fight, but my ability to escape, as Master Mo, the god of Pingqian Mountain, said, is a natural talent. He also taught me some ways to use mountains, rivers, and forests to escape."

Xu Shengtian withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened and scratched his hair.

Xu Yuanchang also couldn't tell the level of his nephew's cultivation, so he smiled and asked, "When did you make friends with the Pingqian Mountain God?"

Xu Shengtian briefly recounted the story of how he ran away from home and traveled at the invitation of Zhu Zongshan. This time he came to Cangpuling specifically to wait for his third uncle to come out of seclusion.

Xu Yuanchang asked a few more questions about Zhu Zongshan's situation and learned that Zhu Zongshan had been recognized by the "Impermanence Card" and his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, and he had already been promoted to the third level of cultivation. He revealed to Xu Shengtian his idea of ​​joining Bailin Valley. Just a while ago, Zhu Zongshan received an order to go to the capital to participate in training.

"Didn't he join a certain faction? Can he change factions?"

"The family power he and Zhu Zunquan joined can be withdrawn at any time. That kid is very smart. After he was promoted to the third floor, he rejected several invitations from local sects. He wants to follow you and cling to the thigh of Deng Xianguan."

Xu Shengtian explained.

Xu Yuanchang took out a jade bottle, took out a bean-sized Thousand Soul Pearl and put it in it, then handed it to his impatient nephew.

A rare treasure like this would be one less if it was used, so he couldn't just give it away to outsiders so generously.

"Find a time to swallow it. It should be of great benefit to you. When you have time, you should often go to consult the Pingqian Mountain God. I cannot guide your practice. You are welcome to join Bailin Valley. I will ask Dengxian Temple to give you an identity later."

Xu Yuanchang had already thought of establishing his own power, and said, "Tell Zhu Zongshan that I agree that the uncle and nephew will join Bailin Valley."

In troubled times, we must fight together to survive.

Zhu Zongshan was able to inherit the legacy from Senior Chang, and will be a rare military talent in the future.

How could he turn down such a good opportunity that came to him?
Xu Shengtian was so overjoyed that he swallowed the Thousand Souls Pearl directly into his mouth. He was unwilling to wait any longer and shouted, "No day is worse than today. Third Uncle, Aunt Liu, you don't have to wait for me. I will go back in two days. Bye!"

He made a magical gesture with his hands, took a step forward, and his figure blurred and disappeared.

Liu Xianfeng asked in surprise: "Is this a magical power similar to 'Mountains and Rivers Moving'?"

There was no trace of Xu Shengtian within several miles.

The ability to run away is indeed a natural talent.

Xu Yuanchang handed Liu Xianfeng a bottle containing two Thousand Souls Pearls. One of them was for Liu Xianfeng alone. With Xianfeng's personality, he would definitely mix the other one with the spiritual spring water so that the ingots, snow grains and golden toad rain and dew would all get a taste. He laughed and scolded, "That kid is so rash and impatient. He can't even wait for one more day. Let's go too."

Rabbit lazily replied, "The Thousand Souls Pearls are originally suitable for spiritual practitioners. It would be a waste to give them to you."

Xu Yuanchang responded sharply: "It would be a waste to give it to you."

"That's different. I, an old man, can use it to restore my spirit and soul, and I can help you a lot in the future."

"..."

The news that Xu Yuanchang had returned safely to Bailin Valley spread in a small area and reached the Xiyuan Holy Land on the same day.

Starting from the second day, there was an endless stream of guests coming to visit.

He Shutang, the new manager of Heiji Inn who had been in office for less than half a year, came separately with Yan Yuhan, Yin Quan and Lan Ying'er. Zhong Jin, who was in charge of Qingping City's Baijisi, also came to sit for a while, drank three cups of tea and then hurried back.

After receiving the letter, Bian Qiuyan rushed to Bailin Valley that night and left that night.

Elder Mei Yuanjian came to visit in person, and they had a secret conversation for more than an hour before leaving in a hurry.

Xue Chunni and Meng Caiqin flew to Bailin Valley. They benefited a lot from the "Qingping Suanjing" and had already condensed their own natal formation diagrams, and their cultivation had been raised to the late third floor.

"Master Xu Yuan, we are following the order of Master Wen. Please join Tianzhen Mountain. Master Wen promised you the position of deputy master of the formation and said that you will not be restricted in coming and going. Please help us complete this errand task."

After greeting each other and sitting down, Xue Chunni spoke carelessly, directly showing his trump card to Xu Yuanchang sitting opposite him, saying: "If you really don't want to be in the limelight, you can also use the title of Tianzhen Mountain Elder. In short, the set of booklets you wrote made the formation masters and arithmetic masters of various schools crazy. If you don't use a false title, we will have no way to report back."

Xu Yuanchang corrected with a smile: "It's the set of books you and I co-wrote."

Meng Caiqin exposed her, "Don't flatter her. She was exposed long ago. Master Xi's few words made her speechless. I felt ashamed when I saw her at the beginning. She has no real talent and dares to impersonate someone else. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Xue Chunni glared: "Stay away from me, or I'll hit you!"

Xu Yuanchang said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I agree to use the empty title of Tianzhen Mountain Elder. Don't play the trick of self-torture in front of me. It's scary to watch. It's scary in broad daylight."

Xue Chunni laughed loudly: "Captain Xu Yuan, you agreed too quickly. The next step is to let Fairy Meng perform a honey trap..."

Meng Caiqin cut off the sisters' crazy words, took out the elder's sign that had been engraved long ago, handed it to Xu Yuanchang, and asked Xu Yuanchang to sign the registration book, thus completing their mission.

Uncle Wen was forced into a corner by Grandmaster Xi and tried every possible means to get Xu Yuanchang to join them.

Xu Shengtian, who was pouring water and serving, was already stunned by Xue Chunni's shocking words. What a bold fairy.

Uncle San is really influential and has extensive connections. He has seen a lot of this in the past few days.

Zeng Shanlang has returned to the holy land of Xiyuan.

Aunt Liu has been in seclusion these days.

He was the one doing all the odd jobs. He was already a member of Bailin Valley and lived in the valley.

No need to go home and endure the beating of my mother’s bamboo broom and the cold stares from my parents.

Meng Caiqin and Xue Chunni did not stay for too long. After completing the mission, they had to rush back. They had many things to do and the New Year and other holidays were far away from them.

After seeing the two off, Xu Yuanchang stood with his hands behind his back in the air, looking around at the magnificent world, thinking about things.

Elder Mei asked him to do an important thing, asking him to go to Xianqiao Mountain when he is free, and find a way to deal with the previous dynasty's mountain god Wei Yu who refused to surrender and hand over his last precious treasure, and try not to cause any landslides or earth-shattering noises.

The gate to the dark world is about to open, and it is impossible to keep that hidden danger suppressed.

It was a communication order sent from the forbidden area after Deputy Hall Master Meng and Hall Master Fu Xianzhi discussed it. The fact that Xu Yuanchang was able to walk out of the God's Tomb safely had already proved his ability and that he was a more suitable person than the cultivators in the fourth-floor building.

Faced with such a great opportunity that offered him a pillow when he was sleepy and a generous reward after completing the task, Xu Yuanchang agreed without hesitation. He rested for a few days and set off when he was ready.

"Junior Gu Yunzhu, I pay my respects to Taoist Master Xu!"

A plain-faced girl in a green dress and blue skirt came in from the mountain gate and bowed towards the air.

After Xu Shengtian followed his uncle to see the guests out, he saw his uncle flying in the air in a daze, so he went down the mountain first along the mountain path.

Hearing the clear female voice coming from the top of the mountain, he turned around and looked upward. Even through the trees, mountain paths and rocks, he could see the unique girl at a glance.

The mountains and rivers are vast, and the world is like a galaxy of stars.

……

PS: I wish children and adults a happy holiday, and may your childlike innocence remain forever!
