In recent years, ancient monuments have appeared on the shores of the East China Sea. Immortals have been fighting in chaos, and all life has been devastated. Several great monsters have fallen on the shores of the East China Sea. Their corpses have polluted the sea water, attracting many evil spirits in the sea to occupy the shallow sea. In recent days, they have often harassed ordinary fishing villages, and have injured hundreds of mortals.
If the evil spirits are not eradicated, the common people will find it difficult to live in peace.
Therefore, the "Guanhaimen", the authentic sect of Donghai Immortal Dao, invited five major Immortal Dao sects to initiate the training of disciples of the six sects. The original intention was to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, and also to hone the disciples.
Our Wan Yun Sect selects a disciple from each peak, totaling thirty-six disciples, to attend the appointment in the East China Sea.
Those who receive this jade talisman must arrive at Fanshi Hall before noon tomorrow.
Don’t be lazy.]
…
Li Ping'an read the contents of the jade talisman at a glance and immediately called to the mountain patrol disciple who was leaving.
"Senior Brother Ping'an," the disciple who patrolled the mountain respectfully raised his hands in salute, "What are your orders?"
Li Ping'an returned the gift with his hand and said with a smile: "You and I have similar cultivation levels, so don't be so formal. May I ask how many people have you given this jade talisman to?"
The mountain patrolling disciple made some calculations and hurriedly said: "You are the thirty-seventh person."
this?
Thirty-six disciples were needed and thirty-seven jade talismans were given?
Did his father force him to come in?
Because he was also considered a member of Caiyunfeng, Li Ping'an asked directly: "I wonder which senior sister Caiyunfeng gave it to?"
The patrolling disciple smiled and said: "The one chosen by Caiyun Peak is Senior Sister Lianruo who is in the middle stage of Hezhen Realm."
Li Ping'an also knew that he was really the one who was 'unplanned', so he bowed his hand to this disciple and said with a smile: "Thank you for informing me."
"this……"
The mountain patrol disciple looked a little nervous, lowered his voice and whispered:
"When I came, Elder Yan Sheng specifically told me that if you ask such a question, let me tell you...it was the head of the family who personally named you to participate in this trial."
Li Ping'an was suddenly speechless.
Master...
During the competition within the sect two years ago, the leader said that he would give him a few treasures if he reached the top ten on the land rankings.
Until now, he didn't even smell the smell of those treasures!
The true master of cake painting.
This disciple was full of envy in his eyes and whispered: "Brother, I have heard about your deeds. You practiced as an adult, condensed light for three years, and practiced hundreds of immortal arts. Two years ago, you defeated everyone in the competition in the sect.
Disciple Hezhen, I also saw it at that time. Your Soul Exploding Technique has become the most powerful secret technique among immortals! Everyone is discussing it on weekdays."
"It's just spreading rumors. How can it be such an exaggeration? The Spirit Exploding Technique is just for destroying magic weapons."
Li Ping'an took out a few spiritual stones and gave them to the patrolling disciples, and warned:
"Please go back and tell Elder Yan Sheng that my breath has been distracted during my recent practice, and it is inconvenient to go out."
"ah?"
The mountain patrol disciple was a little confused.
He thought Li Pingan was joking.
This senior brother actually wants to refuse such an opportunity to become famous and shine?
Li Ping'an said seriously: "That's it."
"Hey, okay, then I...I'll just go back and report!"
The mountain patrol disciples were feeling dizzy and stepped on the flying swords to leave.
Li Pingan watched him leave, then closed the cave door, activated the formation, and floated to the corner of the front hall like a fallen leaf blown by the wind.
In the past two years, his immortal master has spent a lot of time taking care of this cave.
There are some warm-colored curtains in front of the walls, and there are a few exquisite pieces of furniture and calligraphy and painting bonsai in the corners. It has a much more "homey" feel than when it was first opened two years ago.
Li Ping'an landed in front of a bookshelf and pushed open the hidden compartment on the shelf, revealing a hole only the size of a fist.
Then he activated his escape technique and turned into clouds to escape into it. After taking a few breaths, he drilled down about six to seven hundred feet and arrived at the underground hall he opened last year.
It is said to be a main hall, but it is actually a square and regular cave.
The hall is a bit empty, and the six stone walls are covered with thick protective formations; even if there are two Qi Refiners of the Hezhen Realm fighting here, there will be no movement outside.
This place is naturally used for serious purposes, although Li Ping'an has also thought about developing this place into a privacy-focused residence in the future.
There is a wooden sign hanging directly above the main hall, which reads:
[New Spiritual Explosive Magical Weapon Research and Development Center].
It's like a trial of six sects. The disciples of the six sects compete. They have to go out and go to a crowded place. They may not get any benefits, but they have to bear the basic risks of going out.
It is better to stay in the mountains and continue to advance the research and development of new magical weapons.
Now, my father is standing more and more firmly inside the door. The noisy voice before has gradually disappeared, and his safety inside the door is completely guaranteed.
The heavenly master teaches me the way, and the kind-hearted old father protects me.
When you are looking for leisurely things in the immortal family, why strive for vain fame?
Li Ping'an's only goal now is to refine the virtual and the real, cross the bridge between heaven and earth, and reach the first other shore of life.
Ask and become an immortal.
All other things, such as the 'research and development of new magical weapons' that he is currently doing, are just for the purpose of protecting the Tao Fruit after he obtains it in the future.
Li Ping'an took off his robe and threw it on the hanger in the corner, and took out an 'iron armor' from his personal storage magic weapon.
This piece of armor does look a bit ugly. It is covered in various patches all over the body. After wearing it, it will become bloated and make movement very inconvenient.
However, after being verified by dozens of previous experimental accidents, the protective effect of this set of treasure armor is quite powerful.
More protection, more thoughtfulness.
Li Ping'an's spiritual consciousness opened the restriction on the treasure armor, and he pinched a magic spell. The stone wall in the corner cracked a gap, and a ring-shaped storage magic weapon flew out of it.
The storage magic weapon shed a little light, leaving behind a charred stone table. There were a few simple 'tools' on the table, and in the center was a disk inlaid with dozens of spiritual stones of various colors.
Li Ping'an picked up the disc and looked at it carefully.
This plan should be feasible.
Only by solving the problem of 'energy storage' can our 'Immortal Armor Plan' be truly implemented.
Li Ping'an took a breath, raised his hand towards the photo orb hidden in the upper left corner of the hall, and said loudly:
"Xianjia Project D-type energy supply core, the thirty-ninth experiment."
He cautiously approached the table, raised his hand with some effort, and pulled out three golden spiritual stones the size of fingernails from the floating ring magic weapon above, and slowly dropped them towards the last three grooves on the disk.
As the three golden spirit stones approached, the various colored spirit stones on the disc were attracted together, and the disc began to tremble slightly;
The spirit stones were constantly vibrating, and forbidden lines ten times thinner than a human hair appeared on the base of the disc.
Li Ping'an continued to press down on the spirit stone, moving slower and slower. The spiritual consciousness in the late stage of the Void Refining Realm penetrated into all parts of the disc, monitoring the status of every small restriction.
The disc began to vibrate at high speed, as if it was about to flee to the side; several beams of fairy light shone from the bottom of the stone table, locking the disc firmly.
——The furniture that can survive in this hall is absolutely extraordinary.
The spirit stone is about to enter the groove!
Li Ping'an took a sharp breath.
When you continue to resist the chaos, success or failure depends on this!
"Certainly!"
Cyan mana spurted out from his fingertips, and the three spiritual stones were pressed down hard. There was a click, and the hall was quiet for a moment, and the disc fell into a strange stillness.
It’s done, it’s done?
Is the spiritual power channel stable? The simulated meridians built in it can maintain the spiritual power to flow...
Something's wrong!
Just as Li Ping'an's eyes glowed a little joyfully behind his visor, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his Taoist heart. His body flew backwards faster than his brain, and the spiritual consciousness that penetrated the disk had no time to withdraw.
Buzz, boom!
The disk suddenly collapsed inward, and a burst of colorful spiritual power spurted out, filling the entire hall in an instant.
"I go!"
Li Pingan's figure hit the wall that was flashing with fairy light, and he let out a shout.
In the undamaged armored fairy clothes, Li Ping'an opened his mouth and blew out a puff of black smoke, suddenly grinned, turned his head and passed out.
Rumble——
The mountain was faintly shaking.
In the back hall of the cave, in the fairy bedroom covered with flowers and plants, Qing Su, dressed in a white dress, opened her eyes and tilted her head slightly.
The apprentice is working on his weird magic weapons again.
Two years is far from enough time to leave any traces of time on the appearance of an immortal.
Qing Su slowly stood up, and the fairy light from her skirt flowed towards her feet like running water. She escaped directly to the ground. After a while, she carried Li Ping'an, who had been knocked unconscious, back to the front hall and placed him on the lounge chair.
Li Ping'an was not seriously injured, but his soul was affected.
Because there were immortal treasures guarding Yuanhun nearby, no injuries were left.
Qing Su drew a stream of water and washed away the ashes on Li Ping'an's face. He stared at his apprentice for a while, then turned and left, taking the way to Caiyun Peak.
…
In the southeast corner of the mountain gate, there is a newly built peak with more than ten connected immortal halls.
The Immortal Palace here is much more magnificent than the cave dug by Li Ping'an underground. There are glazed immortal tiles everywhere and carved beams and painted buildings everywhere.
Disciples were hurrying in and out of each hall. As the formation that enveloped the place opened and closed, the jingling noises disappeared and disappeared, creating a busy atmosphere.
This place is Zhuyuntang, the money tree and treasure trove of Wanyun Sect that was just built two years ago.
The fairy palace in the middle is relatively quiet, with a wooden sign saying "Zhuyuntang" hanging at the door. Dozens of long tables are neatly arranged in the hall, and behind the tables are the resident Zhuyuntang who are writing and writing vigorously.
Outer steward.
northwest corner of the main hall;
The square area sandwiched between the screen and the window is filled with warm sunlight.
The slightly fat Yuan Xian, who was wearing a brown robe, sat behind a desk filled with jade charms and meditated attentively, with a little fairy light surging between his brows.
Suddenly, he heard him let out a sigh of satisfaction, and his body burst out with fairy lights, which he suppressed casually.
"Another breakthrough."
Li Dazhi shook his head, and then calculated the time, planning to go to his son's place later to teach him the exercises and give him some cultivation materials.
In the past two years, the spiritual stones and treasures rewarded in the door are more than enough for ten immortals to practice for a thousand years.
He is now only a third-grade Yuan Immortal, and is still several steps away from a ninth-grade True Immortal. Moreover, the law of cultivation improvement is that the higher the realm, the slower the breakthrough. How can he use so many spiritual stones and treasures.
The storage treasures are almost full.
"Finish this little work first."
Li Dazhi grabbed the jade charm he was reviewing just now and continued to check all the accounts for the previous month.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "Master, Deacon Wang wants to see you."
"Come in."
Li Dazhi had no choice but to put down the jade charm again and smile a little.
A small figure flashed behind the screen, wearing a pink and white short skirt, with long hair combed into a double-ring bun, and she made a respectful gesture of invitation.
But it was Wen Ling'er.
Deacon Wang Xinhui hurried over, activated the formation, walked straight to Li Dazhi, and saluted with his hands in hand.
"Master Dazhi..."
"What's wrong? Just sit down."
"Hey," Wang Xinhui's big face with Chinese characters showed a bit of embarrassment, "Elder Yan Sheng sent me here. There is something very difficult, and I'm afraid you need to come forward."
Li Dazhi leaned on the armchair made by his son and said with a smile: "What's the matter? In the past few months, hasn't the door been very clean?"
"There's nothing serious inside the door, it's like this..."
Wang Xinhui said:
"Guanhai Sect, one of the top ten Immortal Dao Sects in the East Continent, invited our Wan Yun Sect to participate in the six sect disciple training.
"Such experiences have been common in the past. Our Wan Yun Sect has also held them several times, usually with the participation of disciples under the Heaven and Earth Bridge Realm. This time Guanhai Sect suddenly holds such an event, we also need to support it.
"After the elders reported it to the head, the head appointed Ping'an's name and asked Ping'an to go and practice.
"The leader also said jokingly that this kind of experience is actually for the disciples to win the prize, and it is also a good opportunity to bring glory to the sect. If other sects bully us, let Ping An throw out thousands of magic tricks.
The weapon blew up the place.
"Master, what the leader means is that Ping An must pass."
Li Dazhi smiled and said, "Just go. This kid has been bored in the mountain gate for two years. He can relax by going out for a walk."
"But the problem is, Ping An said that he had lost his energy while practicing Qigong and was unwilling to go out!"
"ah?"
Li Dazhi stared and asked, "Is he really angry?"
"No way, the mountain patrol disciple said that he is safe and well and has no injuries at all!"
Wang Xinhui couldn’t laugh or cry and sighed:
"Ping'an has entered the realm of refining the void, and the Tao body has completed its foundation. How can it still be distracted... Master, look, can you go and persuade Ping'an?"
"The master's decree has been issued. We can't go to the master and report back to the master that Ping An is wrong."
"Hahaha!"
Li Dazhi leaned back and smiled brightly:
"Then you are really looking in the wrong place. It is true that I am his biological father, but in the face of the safety of my family, I can only be punished.
"Why don't you go find Immortal Qingsu? Just don't let my son know.
"My son's master is very simple-minded and easy to fool... Well, he is quite considerate.
"You just told her that the sect needs Ping An to go out and win glory for the sect. Ping Ping will report to the Fanshi Hall conscientiously."
"Oh? Thanks for the advice, Master!"
Wang Xinhui stood up, cupped his hands, turned around and left.
"Hey, why are you running in such a hurry!"
Li Dazhi called to Wang Xinhui and asked again:
"How many immortals are there to protect you during this trip? How many disciples are needed?"
"Originally, there were thirty-six people, one from each peak. Plus Ping An, there were exactly thirty-seven disciples."
Wang Xinhui said:
"We will send twelve Yuan Immortals and six True Immortals to protect us, and Elder Yan Sheng will personally lead the team.
"There are also many true immortals in other sects. When the Yuan Immortal is present, the host's Guanhai Sect will naturally have a heavenly immortal in charge.
"Besides, there is an immortal from our Wan Yun Sect guarding Fang Town on the coast of the East China Sea. If we encounter trouble, we can show up at any time."
"That's good," Li Dazhi felt relieved, "Xinhui, do you think there can be one more spot among these disciples?"
Wang Xinhui immediately said: "Yes, Master, if you ask me, you can certainly do it. The disciples in the sect are all eager to make progress, and there are no hard and fast rules on this list!"
"Caiyun Peak Mu Ningning," Li Dazhi said with a smile, "She has always been on good terms with my family, Ping An. Her cultivation level is relatively low and she should be nearing the Void Realm. Let her follow her to practice."
"Yes, Caiyun Peak Mu Ningning, I have written this down."
Wang Xinhui immediately agreed.
"Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"It's okay, I'll continue working," Li Dazhi waved his hand and couldn't help but lament, "I'm buried here by the head brother, and I haven't been able to see my son for several months."
"He who can do the hard work, then you are busy."
Wang Xinhui excused himself with a smile, turned around and left in a hurry.
Not long after, Wen Ling'er came in with tea and placed a cup of tea beside Li Dazhi's table.
"Master, please use tea."
"Um."
Li Dazhi didn't even raise his head, and said slowly: "Send a message to your master. My family is safely going to Guanhaimen on the coast of the East China Sea for training."
Wen Ling'er asked cautiously: "Do you have anything else to tell me? Is this just a message?"
Li Dazhi raised his head and glanced at the 'little' girl, and said with a smile: "Let your master understand the key points here. Come on down."
"Yes, Master."
Wen Ling'er lowered his head and retreated, while Li Dazhi shook his head slightly.
Although this little guy looks cute and is quite clever, his brain is really not very good. He has been in Zhuyuntang for two years, and he can't decide what to ask and what not to ask.
He asked Xiao Yue to prepare in advance, what else could happen?
In the past two years, Xiao Yue has gained both fame and fortune through Zhuyuntang, and her status within the family has risen sharply. No matter what, she should give him some respect from the old Li family.
Li Dazhi shook his head, continued to check the accounts at hand, and concentrated on earning spiritual stones.
…
at the same time.
Qingsu left Caiyun Peak in the clouds, and on her way back to the cave, she met Deacon Wang Xinhui who was looking for her.
Deacon Wang Xinhui followed Li Dazhi's instructions and said that "the door needs peace and glory";
Qingsu responded calmly, saying that she would tell her apprentice, and continued to fall into the cave.
Wang Xinhui was a little confused... He didn't know if he was misunderstanding, but he always felt that this Qingsu Immortal seemed to be worried.
‘Isn’t Qingsu cultivating the way of the heart? What troubles can be caused?’
Deacon Wang Xinhui didn't know the reason for this, but it was hard to ask.
On the other side, Qing Su returned to the cave, opened the formation, closed the door, frowned and looked at Li Ping'an, who was sleeping soundly on the recliner, turned over his hand, and found a jade slip in his hand.
