Huayun Prefecture is a coastal continent located in the eastern part of the Jin Dynasty. Most of its port towns are built near the sea. Many overseas monks often haunt the coastal cities of this prefecture, exchanging various monster materials for some inland cultivation.
resource.
Such innate conditions have made all the major cities in this state prosperous in business, and the sects in charge of several cities have also gained huge financial resources because of this, with large sums of spiritual stones entering their accounts every year.
Not only large-scale markets, but also some remote small markets can also earn a lot of money as long as they have convenient geographical location.
Kaijiang Town is in a similar situation.
Although this town is not large in size, it is only more than 200 miles away from the seaside. The Sanyuanfang market it has opened can be regarded as a "making money every day" and is well-known in the nearby area.
According to this, there is a small hill named Baizhu Mountain a few miles away from the town.
This mountain is about two to three hundred feet high and covers an area of more than ten miles. The spiritual veins are short and inferior, and even the larger immortal cultivating families will not take it seriously.
And in this place that can barely be regarded as a spiritual mountain, there is a small sect of cultivating immortals, the Tianfu Sect.
This sect is almost considered to be at the lowest level in the world of immortality. All the disciples of the sect, including the headmaster and elders, are only a few hundred, so although the spiritual veins are small, they can barely accommodate them.
However, even such an inconspicuous little sect had its glory days in the past.
Although it is not as good as the Taiyi Sect, the Tianmo Sect and other ancient sects, the Tianfu Master who founded this sect tens of thousands of years ago has become powerful throughout the Jin Dynasty with the three secret talismans he created.
The Tianfu Sect once had tens of thousands of disciples, and it almost ranked among the top ten sects of the righteous path.
However, it is a pity that the development direction of the Tianfu Sect is too paranoid. It relies too much on the Talisman and ignores the main cultivation method, resulting in the subsequent disciples' cultivation level becoming worse than the previous generation.
In the final analysis, talismans are just external objects, and one's own cultivation is the foundation.
The Tianfu Sect is paranoid about the talismans and does not think about correcting them. It is tantamount to putting the cart before the horse. The result can be imagined. In the world of immortality that respects strength, it will only end in rapid decline.
It is a miracle that this sect has not disappeared completely after tens of thousands of years, but with the current situation, it is only a matter of time before it is disbanded.
The normal state of the world of immortality is that the weak prey on the strong. If you don't have enough strength to rely on, how can you get enough resources? Not to mention a sect, even an individual cannot gain a foothold.
…
At this time, on the mountain road at the foot of Baizhu Mountain, two figures were coming slowly and unhurriedly. They were masters and disciples Mo Juren and Han Li.
The two of them set off from Jinjing City and headed straight to Huayun Prefecture, and then went straight to Sanyuanfang City not far away. After inquiring about some information, they arrived here.
In the past, when Han Li fell into the land of darkness, he happened to meet the previous head of the Tianfu Sect, and received the method of refining the 'Spiritual Talisman' as a gift from him. Following the agreement, he naturally had to send this thing over.
The time agreed with Fucheng was still early, so he was naturally not in a hurry, so Han Li proposed to resolve the matter first. Of course, by the way, he might gain some insights into the three secret talismans mastered by the Tianfu Sect.
For Mo Juren, this matter has another meaning. The three secret talismans are secondary. The key is that he wants to meet an old guy.
Xiang Zhili, this powerful man in the divine transformation stage who likes to wander around the world, if nothing else happens, should be hiding in Tianfu Sect as a 'librarian' at this moment.
In the past, Mo Juren would not have been willing to come into contact with such beings too early, but since breaking through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul and integrating bloodlines on a large scale again, his strength has been greatly improved, and he is no longer afraid of the strong ones in the transformation stage.
What's particularly important is that there is a super boss beside him. Although that guy is cold and arrogant, his temper is unpredictable, and he is usually immobile, but if he is really in danger, he cannot just sit back and watch.
With so many trump cards, what else could he be afraid of? Naturally, he wanted to meet Xiang Zhili and get to know each other first, so that there might be the possibility of cooperation in the future.
"It's really sad that the Tianfu Sect, which was once glorious in the past, has fallen to this point." Looking at the top of the Baizhu Mountain, Han Li was filled with emotion. He also thought of the red-faced old man who gave him the Soul-Calling Talisman in the land of darkness.
As the former head of Tianfu Sect, if he knew the current situation, I wonder what he would think?
"Everything has a cause and effect. The Tianfu Sect is in today's situation. Why is it not caused by yourself?" Mo Juren did not have the slightest sympathy. While speaking, a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.
"Indeed, it's a pity." Han Li nodded. After asking about the situation of Tianfu Sect in Fangshi before, he already understood everything and naturally he would not refute.
He is somewhat worried about something else. How many valuable things can be left in the Tianfu Sect that has been reduced to this? The so-called methods of refining the three secret talismans may not remain.
Of course, regardless of whether he has gained something or not, he cannot break his promise when he promises something. This is his rule. As the so-called loyalty is entrusted by others, the method of refining the spirit talisman must still be returned.
Thinking of this, he planned to go up the mountain immediately, but unexpectedly he was suddenly stopped.
"Master?" Han Li was a little confused, but before asking, he heard the other party say,
"You can go up by yourself. I have some personal matters to deal with as a teacher."
"Ah..." Han Li was very puzzled, but when he saw the other party shaking his head slightly, he understood that the matter was not simple. He didn't ask any more questions, and immediately nodded and said,
"Okay then, disciple, go up first and contact us later."
After saying that, Han Li immediately turned into a blue rainbow and flew towards the top of the mountain at high speed.
Looking at the other party's disappearing back, Mo Juren stood with his hands behind his hands, waiting patiently.
Until a moment later, an old voice suddenly sounded in my ears, full of surprise and curiosity:
"In the middle stage of Nascent Soul, the spiritual consciousness is so powerful, which is interesting."
"Since senior is here, why don't you show up to meet him?" Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged, but he glanced at the mountainside and asked calmly.
As soon as these words came out, the other party no longer hid. After a few flashes, an old figure appeared in front of him.
The person who came was naturally a gift to him. Mo Juren had known this person for a long time, but this was the first time he actually met him, so he started to look at him carefully.
Xiang Zhili also said nothing, and his eyes as deep as the abyss were also observing carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised he became, and finally couldn't help but ask first:
"Fellow Taoist had just released his spiritual consciousness to scan the Baizhu Mountain, but then he discovered my existence?"
"Really?" Mo Juren nodded, but did not explain too much. Xiang Zhili, who heard this, also did not ask any more questions. In his opinion, the other party's spiritual consciousness was no less powerful than that of a monk in the early stages of becoming a god.
, it’s not surprising to find him.
What he was really curious about was the identity of the other party and how he could cultivate such a powerful spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. This was really unbelievable.
Let alone now, even in the entire history of the world of immortality, there seems to be no such example.
He wanted to ask clearly, but he also understood that this matter must involve the other party's secrets, and he might not be willing to tell them.
After a pause, he suddenly asked:
"Fellow Taoist, are you from Tiannan?"
"Senior, why do you ask this?" Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged, but he admired the other party's quick thinking. He thought he had already met Han Li, so he came to this conclusion.
Just as he guessed, Xiang Zhili nodded slightly immediately,
"It seems that I guessed it right. That little friend Han just now is the Tiannan cultivator. You are worthy of his master and disciple. You probably came from the same place."
Having said this, he suddenly paused and sighed again,
"I didn't expect that I would make a mistake. In less than three hundred years, Little Friend Han has already broken through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and the strength of his spiritual consciousness is no less than that of the late stage powerhouses.
This talent is truly incredible, but talent is only one aspect. It is not surprising that he can have such an excellent master as fellow Taoist fellow Taoist, and that he can grow to where he is today."
"Senior, thank you." Mo Juren did not dare to take credit for Han Li's achievements today, but he would not explain anything to him. In the eyes of the other party, this attitude was regarded as acquiescence.
Xiang Zhili couldn't help but sigh again. It was also unexpected that two geniuses could appear at the same time in a remote place like Tiannan.
However, he just sighed briefly and had no other thoughts. In fact, at his level, all he could think about was how to ascend to the spiritual world, and everything else was just a cloud.
Putting away his thoughts, his eyes suddenly glanced towards the top of the mountain, and then said again:
"It's not very convenient here, let's find another place."
After saying that, his figure flashed one after another and left quickly towards the distance. Mo Juren naturally did not hesitate and followed closely, and soon the two of them disappeared.
It wasn't until a moment later that two foundation-building monks flew down at the same time, but they obviously didn't notice anything unusual. They seemed to have something urgent and flew away in different directions.
…
On the top of the mountain, in a hall somewhere.
At this time, Han Li was talking with a group of monks from the Tianfu Sect and the only elder in the pill formation stage.
The ins and outs of the incident have been explained clearly, and everyone has learned all the ins and outs. After being surprised, they all showed regret.
"Senior Brother Yun suddenly disappeared many years ago. Wen originally thought that he was assassinated by gangsters, but he never thought that he would end up living in the so-called underworld. It's really..." Speaking of this, Elder Wen couldn't help but sigh, and the rest
Everyone's faces were full of bitterness.
I was naturally very surprised when I suddenly heard the news about another elder in the alchemy stage. Especially for the sect, which is suffering from internal and external troubles, it is so important. I never imagined that this would be the result.
Everyone really didn't know what to say, so they could only sigh and look at each other speechlessly.
"It's unimaginable that there are such dangerous places in the world. No wonder there have been rumors of monks disappearing inexplicably along the coast for countless years. It turns out that this ghost mist is causing trouble." Elder Wen thought of the horror of that underworld place, and even lost his soul.
He couldn't use any strength, he was worse than a mortal, and his heart instinctively shivered.
"It's really scary there, and Han managed to escape with great effort." Han Li was also a little sad, and continued,
"The items in this box are also entrusted by fellow Taoist Yun, giving me the opportunity to return them to your noble sect. Of course, Han is very interested in making talismans, so I have also studied some of the spirit summoning talismans in it. Dear fellow Taoists,
You shouldn’t mind, right?”
"Senior can keep his promise and return the things to our sect, which is already a great kindness. How could we have such ill-intentioned thoughts? Moreover, even if the sect does have this talisman, it can only be controlled by the leader.
, but if there is no senior to return this object, then the method of refining the spirit talisman will be completely lost, and what are the rules?" The other party's seemingly casual inquiry made Elder Wen break out in a cold sweat. How could he dare to do this?
After hesitating for a moment, he quickly replied with a respectful look.
The other people present were not stupid either, and they all echoed his words.
"You fellow Taoists are open-minded, which makes Han a little embarrassed. However, the things have been delivered, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of Han's wishes, so I won't keep any more and say goodbye." With that, Han Li stood up.
Come and plan to leave.
However, at this moment, Elder Wen suddenly thought of something and quickly turned his eyes and said:
"Senior, please wait a moment. We haven't repaid you for your gift. How about we stay here for two days? Let us show our friendship as landlords."
"Staying for two days?" Han Li couldn't tell what the other party was saying, so he looked at the other party with a half-smile, a bit of amusement in his expression.
"Senior, aren't you interested in the method of making talismans? I dare not say anything else. Our sect still has some knowledge in this regard, especially the various related classics left by some of the ancestors of the sect. If you don't mind, you can go directly to
I’ll watch it at the Sutra Pavilion, and it would be better if you could give me some pointers afterwards.”
"Books on making talismans?" As expected, Han Li immediately became interested when he heard this. He had long coveted the three secret talismans of the Tianfu Sect and was naturally reluctant to give them up.
In addition, there is the master, who is a genius in the Tao of Talisman and is even more obsessed with this Tao. I don’t know why he didn’t follow me just now, so as a disciple, I should naturally do it for him.
"Can I read the classics and make copies to take away?"
"As long as Senior Han is interested, you can make a copy. We have no objection at all. We just need you to stay for another two days." Elder Wen agreed immediately without any hesitation.
"In that case, let's lead the way." Han Li nodded, agreeing to the other party's deal. When Elder Wen and the other monks heard this, they were overjoyed.
Immediately afterwards, one of them personally led the way and led Han Li out of the hall.
After a while, when they were sure that the other party had gone away, everyone looked at each other and continued talking.
"It's unbelievable that Senior Brother Yun is trapped in such a ghost place. However, it is a blessing to get news about him and to rediscover the method of refining the Spiritual Talisman..."
"What Uncle Master said is absolutely true, but the most urgent task is what to do next? If we can take advantage of this opportunity to make friends with Senior Han, then the current crisis of the sect can be easily solved..."
"It's not that easy. According to what Senior Han said just now, he and Senior Brother Yun just met by chance. It's good to be able to send things back. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take the initiative to help us overcome the difficulties..."
"It has to be difficult, but we can't really watch the sect's tens of thousands of years of foundation disappear. Before, there was really no way. Now that the opportunity is in front of us, we must not give up easily..."
"Senior Han doesn't look like an unkind person. There is still hope. We have bought two days. Let's all think about what to do..."
"Without friendship, it can only be an exchange of interests. The other party should be interested in the things we have..."
