Zhang Qian pulled out the stopper of the jade bottle in his hand and took a closer look. He saw that there were twenty or thirty purple pills in the jade bottle. These pills were very magical, faintly emitting a trace of purple light, like the light of the rising sun. .
"Don't look at it, it's just a low-grade elixir. Why do you care so much?"
Seeing Zhang Qian holding the jade bottle and smelling the aroma of the elixir in the bottle with an intoxicated look on his face, Li Qingque felt that the junior disciple he had accepted was a bit unreliable.
"Senior sister, don't worry. I've never seen pills before. By the way, senior sister, you are a powerful person in the Dharma Realm. With you in charge, our Demon Refining Island's status in Jianhu Palace should not be low, right?"
Zhang Qian rolled his eyes and put away the jade bottle. He was not in a hurry to take it, but asked curiously.
Li Qingque glanced at Zhang Qian inexplicably and said, "I know what you want to ask, but it's a pity that it's not what you think. Our Demon Refining Island paid a heavy price when we fought against the invasion of the Huangquan Demon Sect many years ago. The price is that all the disciples are basically dead. I have been practicing in seclusion for so many years, and I have not paid much attention to the matters of Demon Refining Island. After so many years, there are only a few people on our Demon Refining Island. If I hadn’t been in charge, maybe the entire Demon Refining Island would have been destroyed. The island has been divided among other branches of the sect."
"What!"
Zhang Gan was startled. Before he could continue asking, he heard Li Qingque continue to say: "I have just cultivated the Dharma. If I hadn't accomplished the Dharma, there would be a chance to refine the soul, achieve immortality, and refine the demon." The island has been disbanded a long time ago, but now that I have come out of seclusion, I have accepted you as my junior brother. I will definitely promote Demon Refining Island in the future. You must have some plans in mind. You are my junior brother now, and Demon Refining Island will be your home from now on. And when you do your best."
Zhang Qian nodded helplessly, and said to himself: "It seems that the situation of the Demon Refining Island in Jianhu Palace is very bad. I asked her why she is so easy to talk to. She simply acts as a teacher and accepts a disciple, and let me be her He was his junior brother and gave him the practice method. It turns out that the Demon Refining Island has weakened to such an extent! In this way, during the battle with the Huangquan Demon Sect, the Demon Refining Island was the vanguard sent by Jianhu Palace. After the battle, the disciples The disciples are basically dead! Now the entire Demon Refining Island not only has the formidable enemy of the Huangquan Demon Sect outside, but even the sect within the sect is thinking of carving up the Demon Refining Island. If it weren’t for the support of my cheap senior sister, the Demon Refining Island might have been destroyed long ago. Gone."
His mind turned around, Zhang Qian frowned slightly, but he didn't say much, but asked curiously: "What kind of sect is the Huangquan Demon Sect?"
"The Huangquan Demon Sect is extremely powerful and unfathomable, and its sphere of influence spans several major states. If we, Jianhu Palace, hadn't started the rebellion back then, together with several other eternal sects in Nebula Prefecture, the entire Nebula Prefecture might have been destroyed by now. This is the territory of the Underworld Demon Sect."
After a pause, Li Qingque seemed to have thought of something, and her face became a little ugly. After a while, she continued: "There are three kinds of cultivation paths in the world, the path of immortals, the path of demons, and the path of gods and demons!
There is almost no distinction between these three paths. Each has its own power. Let’s not talk about the immortal path. In addition to most demons, there are countless human beings who have also taken the path of demons. This path There is almost no need to talk about cultivation qualifications. As long as you are in the spiritual realm and use your own spiritual power to transform the blood around your body, and transform all the human blood into the demon bloodline represented by your own spiritual power, the whole person will no longer be a human, but become a monster. , although this path does not depend on qualifications and has a reputation for boundless power, there are very few people who have achieved immortality through this path.
As for the path of gods and demons, the origin of this path is even more ancient. It existed even before the rise of the immortal path. If you want to follow the path of gods and demons, you need to swallow the divine power of incense when manifesting your spiritual inspiration, and use the divine power of incense to sacrifice your own spiritual inspiration. Refining a demon god, waiting for the demon god's sacrifice to be completed, and then the god and self merge into one, directly transforming his physical body into the body of a god and demon. This monk is invincible in the physical body, and has all kinds of weird and vicious divine powers. Through this There are many people who have achieved immortality on the path, and the Huangquan Demon Sect is the supreme sect that specializes in the path of gods and demons."
Listening to Li Qingque's detailed explanation, Zhang Qian's eyes were opened and he had a full understanding of the path of cultivation in Xihuang's world.
"So the Peach God Sect also follows the path of gods and demons?"
Li Qingque nodded: "Yes, the leader of the Peach God Sect can be considered a hero, but it is a pity. Originally, the inspiration he manifested was an innate peach tree. If he embarked on the path of immortality, he would have attained immortality. By chance, he didn’t know where he got a way to practice the path of gods and demons, and he embarked on the path of gods and demons.”
After saying this, Li Qingque seemed a little regretful. Seeing that Zhang Qian was distracted and didn't know what he was thinking, Li Qingque shook his head slightly and said: "You can practice it yourself. If there is anything you don't understand, let me know." Ask me."
Zhang Gan immediately stood up and hurriedly went to the side hall. Seeing that he was about to enter the side hall, he didn't know what he thought of and turned around and asked: "By the way, senior sister, I'm curious, can you take me there?" What are you doing here?"
Li Qingque said in a calm tone: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
Zhang Qian smiled softly and didn't care. He went to practice without mentioning it.
Time flies by so fast. Half a month has passed unknowingly since he came to this dilapidated Taoist temple. During this half month, Zhang Qian has already taken less than half of the Ziyang Pill given by Li Qingque. Said that although this kind of elixir is a low-grade elixir, the elixir is an elixir and its effect is not small. Even if he practices in this Taoist temple where there is not much spiritual energy, just relying on the Ziyang Great elixir can make his Ancient Dragon Loach The inspiration grew.
brush!
A ten-foot-long, real-life Taikoo dragon loach appeared and hovered around Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian stretched out his hand to touch his spiritual machine. Unexpectedly, he didn't touch anything at all. When his palm touched the empty space, it seemed like the entire golden sun. The ancient dragon loach is an illusory existence.
Smacking his lips, Zhang Qian said with some dissatisfaction: "My spiritual power looks like a real thing, but it's a pity that it's just an illusion. When I cultivate the Dharma, my spiritual power can turn reality into reality."
In the past half month, Zhang Qian was not just cultivating. His cheap senior sister didn’t know what she was busy with. In addition to the fact that Zhang Qian could find her to ask some questions at the beginning, he hardly saw anyone in the next few days, which made Zhang Qian secretly complain. I don’t know where my senior sister went to have fun.
Zhang Qian almost starved to death at the beginning. He had not yet reached the state of being able to live without food. Three meals a day were indispensable. Unfortunately, Li Qingque had not eaten in the world for many years. He had long forgotten about eating and didn't care. He, Zhang Gan, had no choice but to wander around this hill, thinking about finding some wild fruits and hunting game to satisfy his hunger.
Unfortunately, this hill was too desolate. Not to mention game, not even a single wild fruit was found. Zhang Gan searched for a long time and only found a wild jujube tree. He ate some wild jujube trees and felt even hungrier.
After waiting and waiting for his senior sister to come back, Zhang Qian had no choice but to release the old fox's true body from his storage bag, and activated the Zhuxian sword to cut off a piece of meat. Not to mention, the meat was cut from the old fox's true body. It is full of spiritual energy and has a sweet fragrance when you smell it.
However, what stunned Zhang Gan was that the cut meat was not cooked at all and could not be chewed. He was dumbfounded after working on it for a long time.
Thanks to Yin's blushing face, they were still clever. When they saw that their elders were so hungry and saw themselves swallowing saliva, they were afraid that Zhang Qian would roast him and eat him when he was hungry. Many big fish were caught in the river for Zhang Gan, which finally solved Zhang Gan's food problem and provided him with enough food and clothing.
Later, Zhang Qian basically lived on fish, and almost vomited after eating grilled fish. He wanted to go down the mountain to visit the capital of the Zhou Dynasty nearby, but remembering that his senior sister had strictly ordered him not to go down the mountain, Zhang Qian thought about it and forgot about it. .
On this day, Li Qingque finally returned to the Taoist temple, his face a little tired. What surprised Zhang Qian even more was that there were several cuts on the sleeves of Li Qingque's robe.
"Senior sister, what's going on? Are you injured?"
Li Qingque glanced at him: "It's okay. I met an enemy and I had a fight with him. Your current cultivation level has reached the Great Perfection state of spiritual intelligence. The next step is to refine your qi and open your mind. But don't worry, I have a plan. You have something to do."
Zhang Qian's heart moved: "Senior sister, just give your orders. I promise to handle it properly for you."
Li Qingque snorted coldly: "Stop talking big words. This matter is of great importance. Just handle it honestly and don't cause any problems. Listen, in a while you will go to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty and find the capital palace." , place this mirror underground in the palace, I know you have the art of earth escape, this will be easy for you, remember, after placing the mirror, leave the palace immediately and do not stay!"
After saying that, Li Qingque handed Zhang Qian a mirror that was made of black ice. The mirror was the size of a palm, faintly transparent, and he didn't know what kind of treasure it was.
Zhang Qian played with it for a while and then carefully put it away.
"Also, there is a lot of chaos in the capital these days. Don't act in a high-profile manner when you enter the capital. I have a big enemy hidden in the capital. If you are exposed, with his calculation skills, he will be able to kill you immediately. Assuming that you are my junior brother, your life will be at risk."
Seeing how serious his senior sister's words were, Zhang Qian frowned. Seeing that his senior sister didn't intend to tell him clearly about the future, Zhang Qian didn't ask for trouble.
Shi Shiran went down the barren mountain alone, and Zhang Qian walked towards the capital city not far away.
After Zhang Qian left, Li Qingque sighed softly, leaving a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She took a strange pill, closed her eyes and sat cross-legged for a while, then suddenly stretched out her finger, and an illusory mirror appeared in front of her. , what is reflected in the mirror is the scene of the capital city.
"What's wrong with me recently? I used to be very particular about superiority and inferiority, but after meeting Zhang Qian, he has always been the same as me. How come I'm not unhappy at all?"
Li Qingque has been in seclusion all year round. Although she has a very high seniority in Jianhu Palace, she usually does not leave the Demon Refining Island and has little contact with people. Moreover, everyone she meets treats her with respect. Now when she meets Zhang Qian, she is not stingy. , which actually made her feel a little at a loss.
At this moment, Zhang Qian's figure appeared in the mirror in front of her, but after seeing what Zhang Qian did, Li Qingque gritted his teeth in anger.
I saw Zhang Qian swaggering into the capital in the mirror. He didn't care about anything else. He went directly to the most luxurious restaurant in the capital and ordered a table full of delicious food. He started eating and drinking. That's all. Wait for this guy to eat. After finishing it, I realized that I had no money.
He was also shameless, so Shi Shiran stood up, jumped off the building and ran away, causing the restaurant waiter to yell.
