Seeking Immortality

Due to the loss of spiritual energy in Xu Qingfan's body, his flying speed was also slower. While flying, Xu Qingfan flew towards Jiuhua Mountain while thinking about how to arrange the remaining twelve years before Jiuhua was unsealed.

But at this moment, Xu Qingfan suddenly saw a figure lying quietly on the ground not far away. Xu Qingfan was very familiar with its luxurious clothes, large body shape, and fat white skin. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Xu Qingfan was certain that the person lying on the ground was none other than Gu Fulu, the chief steward of the "Treasure Pavilion".

Xu Qingfan was slightly shocked when he first saw Gu Fulu lying on the ground. After all, he had just searched the ruins of the "Treasure Pavilion". Although it was a common practice in the world of immortality, he still felt guilty after seeing the owner.

But a moment later, Xu Qingfan discovered that Gu Fulu was still lying motionless on the ground. After his spiritual consciousness checked, he found that Gu Fulu's body was completely devoid of any vitality or spiritual energy fluctuations.

"Is he dead?"

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan was slightly startled. He quickly speeded up and rushed to Gu Fulu's side. He turned Gu Fulu's body around, only to find that Gu Fulu was indeed dead. The expression on his face remained the same as the moment before his death, with his eyes wide open. , there was still anger and surprise in his eyes.

However, no matter how Xu Qingfan checked, he still could not discover the cause of Gu Fulu's death. There are only three ways to die as a cultivator, either from depletion of lifespan, from scheming and Taoism with other monks, or from being obsessed with one's own cultivation. But looking at Gu Fulu's image at this time, there is no sign of aging, and there is no sign of being damaged by spiritual energy in his body. Obviously he didn't die because of depletion of life span or being possessed by a demon.

But similarly, there was no sign of injury or poisoning on Gu Fulu's body, nor did he seem to have been attacked or plotted by other monks. It was strange that he died so inexplicably.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qingfan remembered the three mysterious monks he had seen before wearing masks that were exactly the same as Xu Qingfan's. Especially the monk in the middle, when he was looking at him, Xu Qingfan just felt that the eyes were full of peace and tranquility. But looking at Gu Fulu's body in front of him, Xu Qingfan thought of that look again, but for some reason, he couldn't help but shudder.

Xu Qingfan clearly remembered that he saw Gu Fulu fleeing with the three mysterious monks. With the strength of those three monks. Plus Gu Fulu. Unless there are more than three Golden Core monks, they can easily escape. Even if more than three Golden Core monks appear to rob and kill, the strength of four people can completely resist. But at this time, looking at Fulu's body, Xu Qingfan discovered that he was killed not long after escaping from the siege of the people in purple.

And the rare treasures that Gu Fulu took away from the "Treasure Pavilion" before leaving. All of them are missing.

In this way, the reason for Gu Fulu's death can be easily revealed, that is, after leading Gu Fulu to escape from the siege of the purple people, the three mysterious monks killed Gu Fulu and took away the treasures he brought with him. .

However, no matter how Xu Qingfan studied it, he could not figure out what method those mysterious people used to kill Gu Fulu.

And there is. Look at Gu Fulu's attitude before. These mysterious monks should be allies with the owner of the "Treasure Pavilion". Those mysterious monks do this. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the owner of the "Treasure Pavilion"? Or maybe these mysterious monks don't take the owner of the "Treasure Pavilion" seriously at all?

After thinking for a long time, Xu Qingfan couldn't find the answer. He sighed helplessly and used his magical power to dig a deep pit nearby and bury Gu Fulu.

Although Gu Fulu had plotted against Xu Qingfan and almost caused Xu Qingfan to die, death was over, but Xu Qingfan didn't want Gu Fulu to die in the wilderness like this.

After burying Gu Fulu, Xu Qingfan no longer hesitated and flew quickly towards Jiuhua Mountain.

Because the spiritual energy in his body was greatly consumed and never recovered, it took Xu Qingfan a full month to return to Jiuhua Mountain.

Xu Qingfan also considered finding a secret place to recover all his spiritual energy before returning to Jiuhua. However, the destruction of the "Treasure Pavilion" made Xu Qingfan feel a little uneasy. Later, he learned that not only the place he often visited "Treasure Pavilion", at this time all the "Treasure Pavilions" in the world of immortality were destroyed or disappeared mysteriously at the same time, so they did not dare to stop and traveled day and night.

Looking at the majestic Jiuhua Mountain in the distance, Xu Qingfan took a long breath and felt at ease.

After returning to Jiuhua Mountain through the secret passage, Xu Qingfan first found Zhang Hualing, told him everything he saw and heard after going down the mountain, and after discussing it with Zhang Hualing, he quickly flew towards the cave where his back mountain was. Went.

In Xu Qingfan's view, although Zhang Hualing is the head of Jiuhua, he is not Liu Huaxiang after all. Every time Xu Qingfan has any doubts in his heart, after discussing with Liu Huaxiang and under Liu Huaxiang's gradual guidance, Xu Qingfan can always see through the fog of things. See the most essential thing in things.

Liu Huaxiang's seemingly aging and lifeless eyes actually contain wisdom and insight that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Although Zhang Hualing has always been an old fox and is experienced in his actions, he does not have the wisdom of Liu Huaxiang to see through the essence of everything in the world. After several discussions with Zhang Hualing, Xu Qingfan found that Zhang Hualing could not think of much more than him.

Xu Qingfan didn't know that although Zhang Hualing was indeed far inferior to Liu Huaxiang in some aspects, he grew up under Liu Huaxiang's personal teaching and had been the head of Jiuhua for so many years. He worked hard to lead Jiuhua, which had been greatly weakened, to gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation. How could he be as useless as Xu Qingfan felt at this moment?

However, while Zhang Hualing was not as good as Liu Huaxiang, Xu Qingfan, after experiencing so many things, was much more mature than Xu Qingfan, who was taught by Liu Huaxiang before, and had a longer-term vision of things. As a result of this, Xu Qingfan felt that Zhang Hualing and Liu Huaxiang were so different.

Every time after talking with Xu Qingfan, Zhang Hualing always sighed secretly, thinking that Xu Qingfan was indeed much more mature than he was back then, and the immaturity and naivety of the past were becoming less and less in Xu Qingfan at this moment.

In fact, sometimes, it is not completely a bad thing to still have a trace of innocence in your heart, at least you will feel much more relaxed in your heart.

After leaving the "Hualing Hall" where Zhang Hualing was, Xu Qingfan quickly flew to the cave in the back mountain, but he didn't want to deal with some affairs that the deacons and elders should deal with every time he returned to the mountain. In recent years, Xu Qingfan has been busy with cultivation, and Li Yuhan is handling the affairs of the deacons and elders in Jiuhua. Xu Qingfan feels that even if he does it himself, he can't do it better. After having a reason, he simply busy himself with cultivation and seclusion.

Moreover, the chaos in the world of immortal cultivation in recent years has also made Xu Qingfan feel a sense of urgency in his heart, and he always regards improving his strength as the first priority.

After rushing to his own cave, he opened the formation outside the cave, but found that Bai Yu was practicing the various martial arts that Xu Qingfan had taught him before. Looking at the energy, it is much more than when practicing the exercises and meditating, and the punches and kicks, the leaps, are indeed deep in the three flavors, plus his own strangeness, the power is greater when he performs it, looking at Xu Qingfan, he can't help but nod slightly to express his praise. However, only Xiaobi, who was lying quietly beside Ting'er's room, watched Baiyu waving his fists and feet in front of him, and occasionally made disdainful grunts.

Before, Baiyu pestered Xu Qingfan to go down the mountain together, but was rejected by Xu Qingfan on the grounds that his skills were too low and he could only be a drag. It seems that Xu Qingfan's words have stimulated Baiyu a lot, and he has worked hard during this period of time.

Seeing Xu Qingfan's appearance, Baiyu's eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly put away his fists and feet, walked to Xu Qingfan and bowed to greet him. Hearing Baiyu's greetings, Ting'er and Zhang Ningmei also walked out of their rooms, stood beside Baiyu, and greeted Xu Qingfan. Obviously, they were originally meditating in their respective rooms.

Xu Qingfan looked at the three disciples in front of him, and found that Baiyu had initially reached the late stage of Qi training, and Zhang Ningmei had also reached the middle stage of Qi training. Ting'er had also stabilized the Dan stage that she had just broken through, and he couldn't help but feel much happier.

Maybe it was because he would experience danger every time he went down the mountain. Every time Xu Qingfan returned to the cave, he always felt as if he had been away for many years. After returning to the cave, he looked at the three well-behaved disciples in front of him - Bai Yu was also well-behaved in some ways - and his heart was particularly warm and peaceful.

Xu Qingfan smiled and nodded to the three people. After asking for a few words of praise, he said nothing more and walked directly to his room.

"Ting'er, come to my room for a while."

After entering the room, Xu Qingfan suddenly remembered something and sent a voice message to the outside of the room.
