"How many Jindan monks are currently staying in Taiding Sect?" Qin Ziling asked after being silent for a moment.
"Three middle-stage Golden Elixir monks and six early-stage Golden Elixir monks." Lai Yinuan replied.
"Tianyan Sect only has two Golden Core cultivators, but there are so many Taiding Sects. What about the other sects?" Qin Ziling said with a slight frown.
"Even without Xi Zuhong, the Taiding Sect is the most powerful among the eight major forces, and our Tianyan Sect is ranked last. The other sects, the Red Python Demon Sect and the Xuanshui Sect are relatively strong.
There are two middle-stage golden elixir monks in charge. Qingfeng Sect, Tianzhi Sect and Netherworld Sect all have only one middle-stage golden elixir monk.
Originally, our Tianyan Sect also had a middle-stage Golden Elixir monk in charge, but he went out to sea a few years ago to find opportunities, so the mainstay became Supreme Elder Shangpu. Supreme Elder Shangpu is a dual-Golden Elixir and has been famous for a long time.
They can also be regarded as middle-stage Golden Core monks, but there are fewer early-stage Golden Core monks.
But these are not important now. What is important is that an immortal infant ancestor has appeared in Taiding Sect. In the past, Xi Zuhong was a late-stage Jindan monk. When all the Jindan monks united, Xi Zuhong was still somewhat afraid of him. But now he is an immortal.
Ancestor Ying, even if all the golden elixir monks unite, they can no longer threaten him." Lai Yinuan replied.
"Why don't other forces have a late-stage Jindan monk? If there are several late-stage Jindan monks, plus Zi Ling, they should be able to compete with Xi Zuhong." Qin Zaixin asked.
"How many people in this world are like Xi Zuhong who are both spiritual geniuses and blessed with great fortune, who have cultivated to the late stage of the Golden Elixir just after their sixtieth year? Among the eight major forces, monks who can cultivate to the late stage of the Golden Elixir are very rare.
And when they reach the late stage of Jindan cultivation, they basically have very little lifespan left to reach the Immortal Infant realm.
At this time, all they were thinking about was to reach the Immortal Infant Realm. They must leave Xuanming Continent and go to the sea to give it a try. If they succeeded, they would become Earth Immortals. Not only would their strength be greatly increased, but their lifespans could reach thousands of years. If they failed,
It's just a matter of living a few years less. Xi Zuhong is different. He has great opportunities, has a lot of resources in his hands, is young, and has more than four hundred years to reach the realm of fairy infants, so he will not leave Xuanming Continent early.
." Lai Yinuan explained.
"Now in the entire Xuanming Continent, you are the only one who still has hope to compete with Xi Zuhong, Zi Ling!" Qin Jianmei said.
"It seems that Xi Zuhong's character is very bad, otherwise Tianyan Sect would not be so worried about his rise." Qin Ziling said.
"This person is arrogant and domineering, and he acts based on his own preferences," Lai Yinuan said.
"It will indeed be a disaster once such a person rises, but I need time." Qin Ziling said.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this.
"Now fortunately, the news of the Battle of Fulaoguan has not spread. As for the Battle of Qincheng, although your performance is amazing, to Xi Zuhong, he is still just a nobody below the Golden Core. An arrogant person like him is
I don’t bother to pay attention to you, so you still have time to prepare. In these years, we must have had no choice but to accept the situation and accept the situation." Lai Yinuan said.
"What about our Qin family taking over the Jiang family..." Qin Zaixin hesitated and asked.
"That's okay. The whole world knows about the battle in Qincheng. The rise of the Qin family is a foregone conclusion, and the Jiang family has indeed managed Da Qi very poorly. At this time, the Tianyan Sect decided to change the royal family and let the Qin family take over Da Qi.
The country is normal. Of course, before Zi Ling has no strength to compete with Xi Zuhong, Si Tianjian must still be controlled by Tianyan Sect, otherwise it will be abnormal if word spreads." Lai Yinuan waved his hand.
"Uncle, you don't need to worry too much. You have this concern because you know some details about me. But in fact, in the eyes of the Earth Immortal, I am just an ant. They will not pay special attention to me. Of course they should."
Caution is still needed." Qin Ziling followed.
"Indeed." Lai Yinuan nodded, and then his expression suddenly became solemn.
"Zi Ling, we are here today. In addition to discussing with you the Qin family's entry into Da Qi and Xi Zuhong, we also have another important matter to discuss with you."
"Teacher, please tell me."
"The two supreme elders told the sect leader that if you are willing to join the Tianyan Sect, you can take the position of sect leader," Lai Yinuan said.
After Lai Yinuan finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.
All eyes were focused on Qin Ziling.
Tianyan Sect, for Qin Zaixin, Jian Bailou and others, was once a super powerful force that truly controlled their life and death.
In the past, it was a supreme honor to be able to become a disciple of the Tianyan Sect.
But now, Tianyan Sect invites Qin Ziling to take the position of sect leader, which was something that was unthinkable before.
"Teacher, please go back and tell the two supreme elders and the sect leader that I have a deep connection with the Tianyan Sect. If the Tianyan Sect is in trouble, I will never sit idly by and do nothing. As for joining the Tianyan Sect and taking the position of the sect leader, forget it.
"However, Qin Ziling refused without hesitation.
His Wuji Sect has now begun to take shape, and he has a lot of resources at hand. Not long ago, he even found a portal leading to the small wind and thunder barrier. There is no need to worship under the Tianyan Sect and accept Tianyan.
sect constraints.
When everyone saw Qin Ziling rejecting Tianyan Sect's invitation, everyone felt very complicated.
I don't know whether I am happy or disappointed.
"Teacher, do you know Jiuxuan Mountain?" Qin Ziling didn't seem to notice the complicated expressions on everyone's faces, and quickly changed the topic.
"Jiuxuan Mountain?" Lai Yinuan frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Is it powerful?"
"It should be very powerful and won't lose to the eight major forces." Qin Ziling replied.
"The most powerful forces in the Xuanming Continent are the eight major forces. It seems that the Jiuxuan Mountain must be overseas. In the past few years, my teacher has only wandered around the sea near the sea. I have never set foot in any place farther away. I have never heard of it.
"Jiuxuan Mountain, maybe you can ask the two Supreme Elders. They are Jindan monks and they go to quite a few places, so maybe they have heard of them," Lai Yinuan said.
"In this case, I will go to Tianyan Sect in a while and ask the two Supreme Elders for advice in person." Qin Ziling said.
"That's fine." Lai Yinuan nodded and said, "If you need any cultivation resources, you can also ask the two Supreme Elders."
Qin Ziling nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "By the way, teacher, do you know about Chiluo Cult?"
"I have heard of the Chiluo Sect. It is a Qi Refining Sect on an island in the north of the Xuanming Continent. The strength of the Chiluo Sect should be comparable to the four major sects of Daqi. There is a Xuanshi in the sect, which is similar to the Xuanming Continent.
We have been in contact occasionally. Why did you suddenly ask about Chiluo Cult?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered. There is a Chilong Mountain in Qinghe County, and there is a Chilong Dragon Vein hidden under the mountain. Every thirty years, people from the Chiluo Sect will bring ten transformed Chis here, and then use their blood to open the Chilong Mountain Dragon Vein, and release the Chi.
Chi enters the dragon's veins and absorbs the dragon's energy to evolve." Qin Ziling replied.
"I see. However, dragons are good at changing and can appear and disappear. The dragon veins are even more mysterious. Once hidden, even the earthly immortals cannot find them. And even if the dragon veins show their exits, there are usually laws of space.
Restricted. Just like the small barrier of wind and thunder, not just anyone can enter if they want to." Lai Yinuan said with relief after hearing this.
Qin Ziling smiled noncommittally when he heard this.
Next, the two sides chatted for a while, and then, as expected, Qin Ziling personally cooked and prepared a table of dishes.
After drinking and eating, Lai Yinuan returned to the mountain gate, while Qin Jianmei and other four elders of the Qin family stayed behind.
"Uncle, if Sister Zitang leaves Longtan, you can come to Fangshan County with her to practice cultivation. The affairs of the clan will be temporarily left to the management of the two great uncles." Qin Ziling said.
"Okay." Qin Zaixin showed a hint of excitement when he heard this.
He knew that Qin Ziling was planning to teach him and Qin Zitang the secret method of refining marrow.
"Where are Zijiao and Xingjun?" After getting excited, Qin Zaixin asked after hesitation.
"Let's see if they practice for a few more years." Qin Ziling said calmly.
Both of them are the geniuses of the Qin family, and both have a bit arrogant temperament. Qin Ziling helped them in an emergency last time, but now he is unwilling to teach them the secret method of refining marrow too early.
"Okay!" Although Qin Zai was a little disappointed in his confidence, he still replied with a solemn face.
Then, Qin Ziling discussed some Qin family affairs with the four elders of the Qin family, then stood up and sent the four elders away.
…
late at night.
Qin Ziling stood alone at the foot of Panchi Mountain in Qinghe County with his eyes closed.
"Found it!" Suddenly Qin Ziling opened his eyes with a look of surprise on his face.
Then, the soil under Qin Ziling's feet seemed to melt and gradually became like water. Qin Ziling's whole body sank and disappeared.
Bloodline magical power, earth escape!
Qin Ziling walked through the earth. When the surrounding soil and rocks touched the energy and blood emitted by his bloodline magical power pattern, they seemed to turn into water, allowing people to walk through them at will.
Qin Ziling walked all the way down.
As he traveled deeper and deeper, his speed became slower and slower, and it became more and more difficult.
Just when Qin Ziling was having a hard time supporting himself, he suddenly felt light all over.
A cave suddenly appeared ahead.
In the mid-air of the cave, there is a small chilong four or five feet long, surrounded by clouds and mist, with a crystal clear body and a long beard.
The scales on this chilong are lifelike, and its long beard is still slowly fluttering. It exudes a soft and powerful aura of power, but it has no spirituality.
In the middle of the body of this small, crystal-clear chilong, there is a bright red blood line.
The blood line looked very small, but to Qin Ziling, it felt like a quietly flowing river of blood.
That soft yet powerful aura is emanating from this river of blood.
"It should be that the essence and blood of Chilong blended into the underground river of Panchi Mountain and turned into a dragon vein. It usually hides deep underground and cannot be traced. It only emits the breath of dragon veins every thirty years and evolves the world. Chilong
The descendants use their bloodline to open the portal, put Hua Chi into the world of dragon veins, and absorb some dragon energy to evolve."
Looking at the blood line in Chilong's body, Qin Ziling's eyes flickered with thought.
