Zhong Kui presented the Daoyun Stone as a congratulatory gift, and upon seeing this, Yang Junshan also presented the spirit-sealing box containing Fengxing Fruit.
Senior Brother Han quickly thanked him on behalf of his master, and ordered the disciples behind him to send the congratulatory gifts before leading the two of them into the Confucian Garden.
"You should just wait here for the other immortals attending the banquet. That Confucianist Zhong is very familiar with you and you can't get lost."
Zhong Kui did not let Senior Brother Han lead him into the Confucian Garden. Instead, he led Yang Junshan in as if he were on a familiar road. It was obvious that this was not his first time here.
Yang Junshan sighed: "That sect's saint Yan Xinyuan, even his disciples and grandchildren, have advanced to the fairyland. I guess he must be a person with peaches and plums all over the world."
When Zhong Kui heard this, he sneered and said, "The world is full of peach and plum blossoms? It's not wrong. There are indeed many disciples under Yan Zong's holy sect. He once imitated the Confucian sage, and claimed to have three thousand disciples, plus more
It has been passed down three times, four times, it may be an exaggeration to say that he has peaches and plums all over the world, but at least he has peaches and plums all over the star world, but it is not wrong."
Yang Junshan said in surprise: "It's just that Mr. Zhong's tone doesn't sound like a compliment!"
Zhong Kui smiled "hehe" and said: "Zongsheng Yan has teachings without distinction, but it's just about teaching students according to their aptitude. Hey, didn't you say that some of the descendants of Yan Zongsheng have become immortals? Then let me tell you, all the disciples of Yan Zongsheng are like him.
Among the entry-level disciples of this lineage, Han Zhong is the only disciple who has ascended to immortality, what do you think?"
"Isn't it?" Yang Junshan was shocked.
Zhong Kui sighed: "Otherwise, why would the person who greeted guests outside the Confucian Garden today be only a disciple of his disciples and not his direct disciples? This Daluo Banquet is a banquet for immortals, and Yan Zongsheng only has this person under his command.
A disciple who has ascended to immortality can take advantage of it!"
Yang Junshan followed Zhong Kui as he wandered through this garden. The scenery in this garden was extremely beautiful, giving people a sense of winding paths leading to secluded places, with dark willows and bright flowers.
However, as a master of formations, Yang Junshan knew that this Confucian garden was not just a garden scenery, it could be transformed into a large formation filled with murderous intent at any time according to the owner's wishes.
After turning around a rockery, a small arch bridge spanned a water strip. On the other side of the arch bridge, there was a green bamboo forest, and the grand banquet of Zongsheng Yan Xinyuan was located in this bamboo forest.
When Zhong Kui and Yang Junshan walked onto the arch bridge, someone in the bamboo forest had already noticed the two of them. Yang Junshan instantly noticed several spiritual eyes coming towards him. After passing by Zhong Kui, they all turned towards him.
Wrapped around the body.
Is this to show off to newcomers?
Yang Junshan snorted coldly, and the aura around him suddenly retreated, and those spiritual consciousnesses suddenly retracted as if they were touched by a snake or scorpion.
When Yang Junshan looked at the bamboo forest from under the arch bridge, he saw a few obscure eyes flashing away with deep fear.
Naturally, what happened at that moment could not be hidden from Zhong Kui. When he turned around, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he only heard him praise: "Well done."
After saying that, Zhong Kui seemed to feel that his emotions were not enough to express, so he said again: "Awesome!"
Yang Junshan smiled and followed Zhong Kui down the arch bridge and arrived in front of the bamboo forest.
"Haha, Old Ghost Zhong, why don't you introduce this strange fairy friend next to you to us?"
A voice came from the bamboo forest, and the tone did not sound friendly.
But this time, the consciousness no longer wandered towards Yang Junshan, but the eyes of almost all the fairyland beings in the bamboo forest fell on Yang Junshan.
Even though Yang Junshan had absolute confidence in his own strength, he felt a lot of pressure under the gaze of all the immortals.
Seeing this, Zhong Kui sneered and said: "Emperor Wujiang, the Sun Palace has done a lot of work for the Zhoutian world. Don't tell Zhong that you don't recognize this fellow Taoist Xiao Yang behind me. You just suffered a secret loss at the hands of fellow Taoist Xiao Yang.
Do you want to make some trouble?"
A cold snort came, but the voice just now was full of fear, saying: "Today is Yan Zongsheng's Daluo Immortal Banquet. The emperor does not want to cause trouble here. If we meet in the future, we will
Ask fellow Taoist Yang for advice."
Yang Junshan smiled calmly and said: "We are always waiting for you!"
When he walked to the bamboo forest, Yang Junshan glanced casually, then let out a light sigh, and then his eyes wandered back and forth over the bamboo forest.
"how?"
Seeing this, Zhong Kui followed his gaze and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Yang has extraordinary eyesight. Although this jasper bamboo forest occupies a large area, it is Yan Zongsheng's most beloved thing. This jasper bamboo is used by Confucian monks to make carriers."
It is one of the best spiritual materials for Taoist cultivators, and the Taoist magic weapon in the hands of Confucian cultivators is equivalent to the natal magic weapon in our hands, and this object is even more important to Confucian cultivators than the Taoist magic weapon."
Yang Junshan said in surprise: "There must be at least a hundred jasper bamboos in this small piece of jasper bamboo forest. Doesn't that mean that many magic weapons can be made into them?"
Zhong Kui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How could it be? It's not easy to grow a jasper bamboo forest, and it's even more difficult to grow it into a useful material. To make the jasper bamboo that carries the Taoist magic weapon, it needs at least fifty years of fire, and 90% of the jasper bamboo can't even survive.
After fifty years, there will be another hurdle. In the next hundred years, there will be another hurdle. The remaining 10% of the bamboos will be eliminated by 90%; after three hundred years, 90% will be eliminated; after five hundred years, 90% will be eliminated -
.”
Seeing that Yang Junshan was listening seriously, Zhong Kui continued: "In fact, in the starry sky world, jade bamboo with a temperature of three hundred years is extremely rare. Five hundred years can cause a melee, and seven hundred years can cause a melee.
If a Jade Spiritual Bamboo from Huohou is born, I am afraid that the Huatian Star Realm will be able to send out three or five holy beings. If a Jade Bamboo that is thousands of years old is born, do you believe that the owner of this Confucian Garden will be eager to take action?"
Yang Junshan was surprised: "So powerful? Then this bamboo forest——"
Yang Junshan's expression was not fake, but most of it was not because of what Zhong Kui said, but because he now held in Yang Junshan's arms a scroll of inherited bamboo slips composed entirely of thousand-year-old jade bamboo.
If what Zhong Kui said is true, doesn't it mean that if Yang Junshan takes out the scroll of bamboo slips in his hand now, even the owner here will be attracted and unable to control himself?
Of course, as soon as this idea emerged in his mind, Yang Junshan subconsciously killed it quickly.
Zhong Kui smiled and said: "You are thinking too much, fellow Daoist Yang. Although this bamboo forest is full of jasper bamboos, there are not many that are actually mature. However, it takes fifty years of fire, a hundred years of fire, three hundred years of fire, or even five hundred years of fire."
There are all kinds of spiritual bamboos, and there are more than one, but what Yan Zongsheng regards as the treasure of the garden is the only jade spiritual bamboo that has grown for more than seven hundred years."
Yang Junshan responded with a surprised expression in time, and said with a look of admiration on his face: "You are worthy of being the Great Luo Sect Saint. This level of knowledge and accumulation is truly breathtaking."
Zhong Kui then said: "That's not all. It will become clear when you actually enter the area covered by this bamboo forest!"
After hearing this, Yang Junshan couldn't help but become more curious. He followed Zhong Kui and stepped into the bamboo forest. A fresh breath full of vitality poured into his body like an enlightenment.
Yang Junshan immediately felt refreshed and said in surprise: "This, the original energy here seems to be much stronger than the outside world."
This time Zhong Kui didn't need to say anything, but he heard an immortal not far away laughing and saying: "This jasper bamboo forest was originally a holy place for spiritual practice carefully laid out by Yan Zongsheng. The jasper bamboo is supposed to remove the waste and retain the essence, so as to cleanse the mind."
The effect is not only to gather the original energy, but also to enable practitioners to put aside distracting thoughts and quickly enter a deep state of cultivation."
Yang Junshan nodded towards the monk who spoke, and said: "Thank you very much for your advice, fellow Taoist. I wonder what my friend will call Yang Junshan next week?"
Before the person who spoke could answer, Zhong Kui on the side had already interjected: "I never thought I could see Master Fuxian here."
Seeing Yang Junshan's questioning expression, Zhong Kui introduced him: "This is Master Fu Zhen, the golden-bodied immortal of Heluo Xingkong. Master Fu is a master of formations and a well-known figure in the world of Xingkong.
One of the few Formation Dao Immortal Masters."
When Yang Junshan heard this, his expression was shocked and he said: "It turns out to be Fu Xian Master, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Immortal Master Fu Zhen saw that Yang Junshan respected him very much in words and deeds, so he quickly stood up from his seat and said: "Don't dare, I just live longer, but I heard that fellow Taoist Yang was in the formation
I also have a lot of insights along the way. If you have spare time, you can come to Heluo Xing Palace to talk about it. I will sweep the bed and wait for you. "
Yang Junshan said seriously: "Definitely, definitely!"
After Zhong Kui and Yang Junshan sat down, several more immortals came to the jade bamboo forest one after another. If they were familiar, Zhong Kui would greet them and introduce Yang Junshan to them.
However, one of the immortals actually recognized Yang Junshan and even took the initiative to say hello, which surprised Yang Junshan and Zhong Kui.
"Fellow Taoist, please forgive Yang for his blindness. Have I seen him before?" Yang Junshan was a little confused.
The cultivation of the black-haired and white-bearded Immortal Lord in front of him has obviously reached the peak of the Yuanshen Immortal Realm. He smiled slightly and said: "Young Daoist Fellow Yang may not know me, but I have met Fellow Daoist Yang before, but
At that time, Fellow Daoist Yang had not yet ascended to immortality, but the incomplete immortal formation that was restored at the Star Cliff of Jiulianxing Palace amazed me."
"Oh," Yang Junshan suddenly realized, but he was shocked in his heart, and he said, "I guess you are the Xingyu Immortal Lord who guards the Jiulian Star Palace?"
The two of them had just exchanged a few words when Immortal Master Fu Zhen on the side heard the words and already interjected, saying: "Nine Star Palace? Fellow Taoist Xingyu is talking about the 'Seven Stars and Seven Skillful Links' in the land of Star Cliff.
Immortal Formation'?"
Xingyu Immortal Lord was surprised when he heard this: "Why, does even Fu Xianshi know this formation?"
Immortal Master Fu Zhen nodded and said: "Hundreds of years ago, after I accidentally heard about the existence of this remnant formation, I made a special trip to see what was going on. Although the immortal formation was not very powerful, the threshold was not high, and
It greatly reduces the difficulty and cost of array layout, which can be described as unique and original."
Having said this, Immortal Master Fu Zhen turned to look at Yang Junshan in surprise and said, "I heard from Fellow Daoist Xingyu that Fellow Daoist Yang was able to repair the incomplete immortal formation before he ascended to immortality at that time?"
Yang Junshan said quickly: "It's not just repairs, it's just restoring some of the power of the remaining formation."
"That is extremely valuable. It seems that Fellow Daoist Yang's formation skills are far beyond the expectations of my nephew Luo Bingyang!"
Immortal Master Fu Zhen is a true Formation Dao Immortal Master, and his accomplishments in Formation Dao are obvious to all in the Starry Sky World. His appreciation of Yang Junshan's Formation Dao attainments is enough to attract the attention of other immortals.
