A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the sky is filled with bright stars.
Under the silver-white moonlight, a crane spread its wings across the sky, flapped its wings gracefully a few times, and then disappeared quickly.
Qi Yuan lay comfortably on the back of the crane, holding a small green gourd and taking a sip from time to time, humming something unknown.
He is indeed in a good mood. Since taking the Golden Pill of Good Fortune, his appearance has become younger and younger day by day, and his wrinkles have become lighter and lighter day by day, until now they are almost invisible. The only pity is that his head has not turned black.
If you just look at his face, he looks like he is in his thirties at most. If he didn't have that big white beard on his face, he would be somewhat handsome.
It's just that he wanted to continue pretending to be an elder for a while before the Battle of the Gods was over, so he didn't shave off his beard.
Now he has refined nine golden elixirs, and his body has been improved to the extreme by the power of creation.
Not only has his appearance become much younger, but his cultivation level has also crossed two great realms. The powerful power of the Good Fortune Golden Pill has promoted him to the stage of refining the void and combining the Tao. Once he understands the Tao, he will be able to become an immortal.
Even though the main function of the Golden Elixir of Creation is to cleanse the hair, cut the marrow, and build the foundation of the Tao, the level of the elixir used is too high, and it is normal for it to have such effects.
However, after all, his cultivation was improved with the help of external forces, and the foundation was a bit unstable. In addition, the improvement was too fast, without the process of gradual accumulation and polishing, which also made his understanding of the skills not deep enough, and he would need to make up for it slowly in the future.
.
Even so, Qi Yuan was already very happy.
Because the benefit he received was not only an improvement in his cultivation, but more importantly, his lifespan increased a lot.
I remember when I first came here, I felt like my body was old, and I was terrified inside, fearing that one day I would fall asleep and never wake up again.
Now that longevity has been greatly improved, I no longer have to worry about it.
Moreover, the Void Refining Realm is only one step away from becoming an immortal. Maybe when I have some enlightenment, I will be able to achieve the path of becoming an immortal all of a sudden.
Thinking about it now, the reason why the three generations of disciples of Chanjiao are able to practice so quickly is probably because most of them were similar to him and were trained with magical elixirs.
Otherwise, it would only take more than ten years and such extraordinary qualifications to reach the current level!
Now he is heading to Kyushu and wants to inquire about the current situation.
After all, he didn't know who the coffin's wick was, nor did he know when Yin Jiao would come down the mountain. He would miss the opportunity, so he would have to make more trips diligently.
I didn't bring Qi Yi with me when I came out this time. The little guy's cultivation level is still too poor. If he encounters danger, he won't be able to help. He should stay on Jin'ao Island and practice hard.
Although He Ling'er's cultivation level is a bit low compared to his current level, she can fly very fast.
This little girl has recently learned a lot of magical powers from Yunxiao's mount Qingluan, and her strength has improved a lot compared to before.
Moreover, the several batches of elixirs that Qi Yuan had refined during this period were all put into her stomach. Although Qi Yuan's elixirs did not look very good-looking, they were still effective.
After all, He Ling'er was born as a spiritual beast and could refine medicine relatively quickly, so now he has the strength to return to the void state, only one level behind Qi Yuan.
Soon the night passed, and He Ling'er had flown across the vast East China Sea and returned to Kyushu.
"Master, where are we going?"
He Ling'er turned around and asked.
Qi Yuan rubbed his eyes and opened his eyes in confusion.
The feathers on He Ling'er's back were so warm and soft that he couldn't help but fall asleep.
After looking around, he felt that the land below seemed a bit familiar, so he pointed to a city in the distance and said: "Let's go to that city to find out the news and see what kind of territory we have reached."
He Ling'er nodded, made a clear sound, and fluttered his wings. In a moment, he arrived not far from the city and landed on a river bank.
Qi Yuan jumped down and felt more and more familiar here.
After recalling it carefully, I couldn't help but slap my forehead.
No wonder he felt that this place looked familiar. It turned out that he was back outside Sanshan Pass again.
Not far along the river is the village where I was originally born. However, when I took a look in the air just now, I saw that the place was deserted and there was no sign of human habitation. Obviously, even if there were still people who survived by chance, they have already left.
There.
Qi Yuan had no interest in going over to take a look. He turned around and walked towards Sanshanguan with He Linger, who had transformed into a human form.
Not long after entering the city, before Qi Yuan could find anyone to inquire about the news, he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from ahead.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly."
A group of cavalry rode past quickly, and pedestrians on both sides of the road hurriedly gave way to them, causing a lot of panic.
"Um?"
Qi Yuan's sharp eyes saw at a glance one of the female generals wearing a red cloak and riding a maroon horse, flying past like a ball of flame.
"Deng Chanyu, what is she going to do?"
Qi Yuan was a little curious. Deng Jiugong was very strict in running the army. Generally, he would not allow his troops to gallop around the city unless there was an emergency.
Seeing the people talking on the street, Qi Yuan listened for a moment and then realized that it turned out that Deng Xiu, the son of Deng Jiugong, was out of the city for inspection today and was lured to a dangerous place by a few soldiers and horses of Nan Bohou, where he was then besieged.
As the commander-in-chief of Sanshan Pass, Deng Jiugong could not easily take risks, so he asked his daughter to lead the troops to rescue.
Qi Yuan thought for a moment and simply followed the group.
He wanted to see what was going on. If Deng Xiu and the others were really in danger, he would just do a favor and rescue Deng Xiu.
This is not Xiqi, and Nanbohou Jashun cannot get help from the disciples of Chanjiao.
Therefore, even if there are a few strange people under his command, they will not be too powerful. If they are exhausted, they will just be some Taoists with ordinary casual cultivating backgrounds, and they will not threaten him at all.
If there were really powerful people, they would have conquered Sanshan Pass long ago and still be suppressed by Deng Jiugong.
He has always preferred good things like this, which are not very dangerous and can be a favor.
Just like when he spent some money to build a temple for Nezha in Chentangguan, although it was destroyed by Li Jing in the end, Nezha obviously remembered his favor in his heart.
So he led He Ling'er out of the south city gate, activated his magic technique, and followed the team not far behind.
Deng Chanyu in the front was extremely anxious, fearing that his brother would suffer disaster if he left the city too late, so after leaving the city, he urged his troops to move quickly.
After arriving dozens of miles away and passing through a mountain forest, we saw not far away, a group of more than a hundred people guarding the top of the mountain, resisting the attack of numerous soldiers and horses.
Fortunately, although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they were still able to hold on for a while because they were in a high place, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In particular, one of the young generals is brave and good at fighting. In every critical moment, he can always step forward and kill the opponent.
Deng Chanyu saw that her brother was still alive from a distance, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she was not too relaxed.
Because what was waiting for her was ten times as many troops as hers. It was obvious that the opponent was well prepared and had deliberately laid a trap for her to get into.
Deng Chanyu marshaled his troops and horses a little and then went towards the opponent without hesitation.
Even if the opponent's number of soldiers and horses is far greater than hers, she is not afraid at all.
In the past few years, she had frequently fought against Nan Bohou's soldiers and horses at Sanshan Pass, and she also knew the details of the other party. Looking at the flags, she found that the leader of this army was Chen Tong, the general under Jiushun.
This person's martial arts skills are extraordinary, and even he may not be able to defeat the opponent. However, in addition to his martial arts skills, he also has rare treasures such as the Five Light Stone, so he has defeated the opponent several times.
It was also with the protection of the five-light stone that the generals under Nan Bohou were helpless against her.
The soldiers and horses of both sides are approaching quickly, and the battle is imminent.
