The years when I explored the fairyland

Chu Zhou still had some doubts about the secret realm.

He was almost certain that as long as he went there, he would probably be able to uncover some truths hidden in history.

About the ancient immortals, about the Jedi Tiantong, and the immortal inheritance that disappeared in the long river of history.

However, he never forgot, never forgot the reminder in bright red characters of [Main Mission 4] - Unknown! Danger! Danger!

Danger that can be recognized by the Heavenly Court can never be a trivial matter, which naturally makes Chu Zhou very wary.

So, this matter is not urgent, and he will talk about it when he is more confident.

Then it is about the outside world.

Just as Hao Songqing said, Chu Zhou is not going to get involved.

Whether it is a war between sects or an attack between the three countries, as long as it does not provoke Xuanzhen Temple, it has nothing to do with Xuanzhen Temple.

Of course, Xuanzhen Temple did not do nothing, for example, in the Yellow Crane Tower, there are two more tasks on the list for the outside world.

First, purchase antiques, especially magic tools and treasures handed down from ancient times, at preferential prices, which can be exchanged for cultivation methods, spells and elixirs.

With the reopening of the immortal path, some people know the preciousness of magic tools and treasures.

In fact, even if it is just a magic tool, it has been handed down from ancient times, and it has used enough materials and has extraordinary quality.

Of course, these antiques are also very rare, and they are considered to be the bottom of the box in any sect.

However, Chu Zhou believes that after all, there are people who give up these external things for the real immortal method.

Even if the harvest is not much, for Xuanzhen Temple, every extra item is a pleasant surprise.

Chu Zhou is not greedy, and he must give each of his four junior brothers a suitable one, otherwise it would be embarrassing for a foundation-building cultivator to not even have a magic tool.

The second task is to recruit talents, that is, to recruit those who are proficient in auxiliary cultivation.

This matter was previously done by mobilizing the intelligence network of Xuanzhen Temple, but Xuanzhen Temple developed too fast and the intelligence network could not keep up. Now, it only covers the entire Tianquan County.

Looking at the whole world, it is nothing!

But in Tianquan County, anyone who is capable would not hide until now, and the result is that the task was assigned and nothing was gained.

Chu Zhou figured out the twists and turns in it, and slapped his head, wondering if he was stupid.

Why must such an open and aboveboard thing be done by the secret line, making it seem as if it is shameful?

So, Chu Zhou directly assigned the task.

Pills, instruments, talismans, formations, feng shui, fortune-telling, spiritual plants, beast control...

Anyone who thinks you have a skill can directly come to Xuanzhen Temple to apply for a job. Xuanzhen Temple will give an assessment, and if you pass, you can directly enter the Xuanzhen Temple Worship Hall.

Well, the Worship Hall is the twelfth hall that has not yet been established.

Needless to say, they enjoy status and benefits. Most importantly, Xuanzhen Temple will grant them the real immortal way and the corresponding auxiliary cultivation method.

For the unwelcome strangers, this is definitely a pie in the sky. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a step to heaven.

Once the task was released, it set off a storm again, and I don’t know how many people were eager to move.

In addition, in the exchange options, Chu Zhou specially added a course called "Basics of Immortal Cultivation", which is based on the mode of Jieying Hall.

Of course, the depth of the course is far less than that, and it can even be said to be superficial. The target customers are those sects and individuals who have exchanged for cultivation methods.

They have to pay an additional contribution point, and Xuanzhen Temple will send an inner disciple to popularize the basic knowledge required for cultivation and guide them to get started.

This matter was actually Chu Zhou's carelessness and he didn't think it was a big deal, but after the four major sects exchanged the cultivation methods, they came back.

The reason is also simple. The method is available, but it is still a long way from understanding it.

Furthermore, without the basic knowledge, they were struggling to draw Qi into their bodies, and needed to spend time exploring.

Chu Zhou slapped his head again, and was a little speechless.

Even he had learned the basic knowledge of immortal cultivation for eighteen hours before he started the "Heavenly River Upside-down Method".

If you don't know what the spiritual root attributes are, don't understand the method suitable for yourself, the process of drawing Qi into the body, the characteristics of the spiritual mechanism of heaven and earth...

Just holding a secret book and not going crazy is already cautious.

So, this cram school was established.

Almost on the first day of the exchanged course, the four major sects came to find it. Although the course is relatively simple, they recorded it one by one, and dared not miss a word.

Of course, Chu Zhou just made a decision on the above.

The specific things were naturally planned by Hao Songqing, and Fan Zhong and Wei Jinkui were to implement them, so he didn't need to pay much attention.

Nowadays, he just drinks tea, fishes, takes a nap, and then looks for some delicious food to eat.

What?

You say he has fallen and doesn't know how to work hard?

Since he came to this world, things have happened one after another, and crises have never stopped.

He is like a clockwork watch, busy and busy, and finally achieved the golden elixir and lived for 800 years.

Especially after the mountain protection formation was established, his sense of security was satisfied. Without the threat of death, what's wrong with him taking a breath?

After struggling for so many years, what's wrong with enjoying it?

Chu Zhou felt that he was too tense and should relax. Then, one day, two days, three days, five days, half a month, and one month passed just like that...

Of course, if you want to say that Chu Zhou is really decadent, it is not the case.

He seems to be leisurely, but besides eating, drinking and having fun, he is also reflecting on himself.

There is no doubt that Chu Zhou is growing fast. At least in this martial arts world, if not to say that there will be no successors, there will be no predecessors.

But it is not all good to practice too fast, because without precipitation, you will miss a lot of scenery along the way, and there will be too many things that you can't take care of.

It seems that there is no impact, but it is a kind of restriction on one's own foundation and background. After a long time, it will form an invisible shackle, limiting the height of his growth.

Chu Zhou actually felt deeply about this in the course of "Protecting the Dao and Killing". He has come to this step, but he has not exerted his own strength to the level he should have.

The result is that in this world, he can still kill people by relying on his familiarity with martial arts.

But in that illusion, he met the immortals in the Jieying Hall and was beaten to a pulp.

So, there was this reflection and self-examination.

This time, he was no longer in a hurry to achieve success, and even stopped the basic cultivation, but recalled the road he had walked more.

While drinking tea, he would recall the scene of his first standing practice.

While walking, he would suddenly practice a set of the most basic "Nine Styles of Wandering Dragon".

He was used to standing on the edge of the cliff of the lonely peak and whistling loudly. The power of "Nine Dragon Songs" was surging, and the mighty whistling was enough to spread ten or a hundred miles.

He would also perform magic at will when meditating, commonly used, uncommon, familiar, and rarely used, as he pleased, and show it to his heart's content.

He would fall into deep thought as he watched the spiritual patterns being born and dying, rising and falling, and forming larger and more complex Dao patterns.

Of course, what he likes most is to rise up a white cloud, sit cross-legged, go straight into the clouds, look down from a high place, and look far into the distance, watching the surging and unpredictable sea of ​​clouds.

If it is early in the morning, there will be a big sun rising in the east, the morning glow will fill the sky, and the sea of ​​clouds will be dyed golden by the bright light, showing vitality.

If it is evening, there will be a golden crow setting in the west, the setting sun will be like blood, reflecting half of the sky red, showing the desolation of the sunset.

If it is midnight, a full moon will hang high, and the cold moonlight will shine down.

Quiet, distant, peaceful, everything seems hazy, like a dream, it can wash away the prosperity of the world, leaving only the years of peace and quiet.

Some people say that practicing is like cultivating the mind. Chu Zhou actually did not have a deep understanding, because he was too hurried along the way, so he did not calm down.

Until this time, he seemed to have finally found the feeling of "cultivating the mind", and he felt that the whole person was more transparent.

He could even clearly feel his own precipitation, from soul to mana, from body to spirit, everything has become different.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Zhou's changes are really big, less domineering, less fierce, but the whole person is more immortal, gentle as jade.

It's like the rain in spring, the wind in summer, the dead leaves in autumn, and the frost in winter. There is a sense of déjà vu as if seeing the world.

In the past, although Chu Zhou was very powerful, people still dared to joke and make suggestions when they saw him.

Because they knew clearly that Chu Zhou was not the kind of person who couldn't listen to opinions, and he would not get angry because of other people's rebuttals!

But now, when people see him, although they are more peaceful, they dare not say much, as if they have an instinctive fear.

In fact, this is the truth!

On the road of immortality, every time you cross a realm, it is the sublimation of life. Compared with ordinary cultivators, Jindan Daxiu can be said to be a different species.

Of course, while Chu Zhou was cultivating his mind, the entire Xuanzhen Temple was also making steady progress. In fact, due to long-term accumulation, it showed a momentum of explosive growth.

…

Medicine Refining Peak,

Alchemy Hall.

“Turn! Turn! Turn!”

Xu Cheng raised his hand and pointed, and the alchemy furnace surrounded by blazing fire suddenly rotated rapidly. The spreading wind pressure directly suppressed the flames, and the high temperature visible to the naked eye spread outward.

And Xu Cheng cast a series of spells.

Seeing a series of spiritual lights falling into the alchemy furnace, the visible spiritual energy gathered to form a small vortex.

Until a moment later, when Xu Cheng's forehead was already dripping with sweat, the alchemy furnace suddenly shook and fell to the ground.

With a bang, the ground trembled, and dust suddenly floated, and Xu Cheng, regardless of the temperature of the alchemy furnace, directly pressed on his ears.

“Open!”

The lid of the furnace was opened, and the visible heat waves were steaming, wrapped in several flashes of green light.

On the side, the old Taoist Qingjing, who had been watching for a long time, had his eyes brightened. He raised his hand and used the object control technique to directly fish out several green lights.

So, each of the jade bottles lined up in a row fell into a thumb-sized pill with green light, and even the fragrance of plants and trees escaped outward, filling the entire alchemy room.

The old Taoist Qingjing ignored everything else and raised his hand to take pictures. One by one, the jade bottles flew into his hands. After carefully looking at them for a long time, he could no longer suppress the smile on his mouth.

"Okay, okay, one furnace has made five pills, three of which have pill patterns. This "Qi Gathering Pill" is done! It's done! It's done!"

"Xu Cheng, Second Master, your talent for alchemy far exceeds that of this old man like me. The position of the head of the Alchemy Hall should be taken by Second Master!

And I, I finally see hope, really, really...

Woo, woo, I finally see hope!"

The Taoist priest Qingjing danced with joy at first, almost jumping up, but later, tears fell on his clothes and he cried like a child.

Among the senior officials of Xuanzhen Temple, the one who had the greatest psychological pressure was the Taoist priest Qingjing.

He came to Xuanzhen Temple, was appreciated by Chu Zhou, and was taught the true method of immortality. That was his chance, a great chance.

But because of his old age and physical weakness, his lack of energy and spirit, his cultivation speed has always been the slowest among the crowd.

It can be said that without external forces, he is destined to be unable to build a foundation in this life!

The feeling of seeing hope but being shrouded in despair almost drove him crazy.

So, he studied the way of alchemy almost day and night.

Based on the theory of "Basics of Alchemy" and the recipe of the pill, he looked for alternative elixirs, tried again and again, failed again and again, and finally refined the "Qi-inducing Pill".

However, the Qi-inducing Pill was too low-level, and it could only be used in the early stage of Qi-inducing at most. It had no effect after reaching the seventh level of Qi-inducing.

But he tried the 'Qi Gathering Pill' many times, and felt that the recipe had reached the extreme, but he just couldn't succeed.

It wasn't until he realized that it was a problem with his cultivation that he found Xu Cheng and tried more than ten times before he succeeded now.

Xu Cheng was much calmer, and he said: "This is the result of our Alchemy Hall, and we still have to show it to the eldest brother."

"Yes, yes, yes! We have to make the master happy, yes, where is the master today?"

"It seems to be in the reception room, to meet some people?"

"Is it those strange people?"

"Yes, then we'll just wait a while, no hurry, no hurry!"

...

Xuanzhen Temple, reception room

"Are you the master craftsman Ou Ye?"

"I am!"

"I heard that you have the skill to forge divine weapons, but what I want is a weapon refiner, which is still far from hammering on the anvil."

"I know, but my ancestors didn't just hammer on the anvil at the beginning. That was the result of our second best after the ancient immortal retired.

I believe that with my familiarity with ores and my insight into materials, I will bring surprises to Master Chu."

The man who spoke was not tall and had a strong physique. His arms were as thick as ordinary people's thighs. His hands were full of calluses, and he even carried a pure black iron hammer, which looked amazing.

After taking another look, Chu Zhou paused and asked, "What do you need?"

"The immortal cultivation method, the knowledge of refining weapons, the venue, the materials, I will do my best with my apprentice, but I also hope that the master will give me the greatest support."

The voice of the master craftsman Ou Ye became louder and louder, as if he wanted to give Chu Zhou confidence, and also to strengthen his own confidence.

He knew that the opportunity was hard to come by, and it could even be said that it was time to change his fate, so he had to have confidence.

Chu Zhou smiled and said, "I will give you a chance, I hope you can grasp it."

"Thank you, Master!"

"Yi Huai?"

"Big Brother, am I here?"

"Take your people away first, meet all his requirements, and then support the weapon refining hall for me."

"Yes!"

Yi Huai left with Master Ou Ye. Outside the door, there were six disciples of Master Ou Ye, and a group of people rushed to the weapon refining peak.

Chu Zhou looked at their backs and couldn't help sighing. It was true that the weapon refining taught by the Jieying Hall was actually two different things from iron forging.

But now, he could only hope for this. Apart from other things, Master Ou Ye was known as the first master craftsman of Dayun, and he should have the ability.

I just hope that he can go further in weapon refining.

Chu Zhou turned his eyes slightly and looked at the other two people, saying: "You, introduce yourselves too?"

"Alien Alliance, Divine Calculator, greets Master Chu!"

"Alien Alliance, Thousand Machine Guest, greets Master Chu!"

Chu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Alien Alliance, you dare to appear in front of me, are you not afraid of death?"

Divine Calculator continued: "Come, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you don't come, you will die without a burial place. We still know how to choose."

Huhuhuhu, finally caught up, there is not enough time!
