Xu Junming frowned as he looked at the elixir that could never be formed in the One-Yuan Lotus Furnace in the Tiangong Divine Furnace.
His furnace of 'Tai Yi Ren Huang Dan' has been tempered in the Tiangong Divine Furnace for hundreds of years, and it should have been released long ago. As a result, it was never possible to enter the final step of condensing the liquid into a pill.
At first he thought the heat was not enough, but now he discovered that this was not the case at all.
"Is it because of lack of spiritual energy?"
The hands are changing, and the spiritual energy is billowing, flying in from all directions.
However, despite the integration of these spiritual energies, apart from increasing the spirituality in the medicinal solution by a few points, it still failed to show any signs of condensation.
After sighing, he could only give up temporarily.
There was a flash of light, and the figure of the Dragon Emperor appeared next to him.
"Why are you here?"
"You don't seem to want to see me?" Dragon Emperor said expressionlessly.
"Who told you to always have a dead face?"
With that said, he walked out of Tiangong Hall.
The two of them came together to sit in the pavilion beside the Creation Spirit Pond at the back.
After brewing a pot of tea, “What new discoveries have you made?”
"Fang La has started an uprising in the south. In just half a month, it has swept through six counties and eighteen prefectures in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, gathering tens of billions of people, and the momentum is huge. In addition, Tian Hu in Hebei, Wang Qing in Sichuan, and Chao Gai in Liangshan also raised high rebellion flags, and the Song Dynasty was in chaos
Already present."
Xu Junming nodded slightly.
"The end of the dynasty is the same. First there is a peasant uprising, then warlord separatism, and finally the restoration of unity." After a pause, "I think that is not what you are interested in."
The Dragon Emperor glanced at him.
"As you expected, Fang La is a disciple of Shenxiao Dao, Tian Hu is a disciple of Chunyang Sect, and Wang Qing is a disciple of Kongtong Sect."
When Zhang Shaoyang and Wang Wenqing came to visit, they wanted to unite with Chongshan Academy to overthrow the Song Dynasty, let the Taoist sect rule Chixian Shenzhou, and establish a powerful Taoist kingdom on the earth. Then everyone took turns to be the Taoist masters, and then used the luck of the entire world to achieve success.
Taiyi realm.
It must be said that this plan is very ambitious.
The combination of the five great sects, with a total of seven golden immortals, hundreds of mysterious immortals, tens of thousands of true immortals, and hundreds of thousands of heavenly immortals, indeed has the foundation to conquer the world.
But Xu Junming wanted to live alone as a family, not to establish a Taoist state.
What he wants is the entire Chi County China.
Although he rejected Tianshi Tao, Shenxiao Tao, Chunyang Sect and Kongtong Sect, Xu Junming also roughly knew their plans and contacted Tianshi Tao's layout in Liangshan.
It is self-evident who are behind the Four Bandits.
You must know that this is a world of cultivation. If you want to hold high the flag of righteousness and change the dynasty, it is simply impossible without the support of strong forces behind you.
"No one in the world would have imagined that the so-called Four Bandits are actually supported by the Four Great Dao Sects."
"If we choose to join at this time, we will definitely be able to sweep the entire northwest." The Dragon Emperor said calmly.
Xu Junming shook his head.
"In this chess game of the Song Dynasty, there is no way to tell the winner in a short time. Rather than expending the accumulated strength on internal disputes among the human race, it is better to destroy the Jin, Liao and Xixia, and then send the army southward to sweep across Chixian Shenzhou."
"If Zhao Kuangyin is allowed to integrate the Central Plains Taoist Sect, even if we can win in the end, we will have to waste a lot of effort." The Dragon Emperor said.
"Don't worry, we won't let him have the opportunity to integrate Dao Sect."
Xu Junming was smiling and his expression was filled with confidence.
The Dragon Emperor nodded. With their current strength, Zhao Kuangyin was no match for them even if he had the Taiyi Wheel in hand.
As soon as my heart moved, five colored auras appeared behind me.
Two burly and strong men appeared in the divine light. Their vitality and blood were soaring to the sky, and their martial arts cultivation made them enter the fairyland.
"who are they?"
"Luan Tingyu and Shi Wengong."
"The two in Zhujiazhuang and Zengtou City?" Xu Junming asked with great interest.
"good."
"Why did you catch them?"
"When I, the Gengjin Dharma Body, was in Liangshan, I discovered that these two people appeared at the Golden Beach at the same time. Their whereabouts were mysterious and they knew each other. So I captured them both and handed them over to you for interrogation."
"Do you suspect that they are Zhao Kuangyin's secret agents?"
The Dragon Emperor nodded.
Killing Chao Gai and paving the way for Song Jiang to take control of Liangshan is undoubtedly what Zhao Kuangyin wants to do most now.
The reason why we don't do it ourselves is because everyone is not ready until the time comes.
With a finger, the Divine Gate of Human Souls appeared from the void, and a black spiritual light shone down, pinching the two souls.
Memories of the past appeared in front of the two of them scene by scene.
"It's just as you expected."
The Dragon Emperor said: "Chao Gai is not a Tiangang Disha, but a disciple of Tianshi Dao. Killing him will clear the way for Song Jiang to control the power of Liangshan."
"So there must be a second Luan Tingyu and Shi Wengong appearing."
The Dragon Emperor nodded.
"Put them all back." Xu Junming said after erasing the memory of their capture.
"Why? Do you want Song Jiang to control Liangshan Shuibo?"
"Why not?"
She glanced at him and said, "Our ultimate goal is to wipe out all the opposition forces in China in Chi County, preserve the heritage of this world as much as possible, and cause less killing when annexing this world."
"So, whether the Central Plains Dao Sect overpowers the Great Song Dynasty or the Great Song Dynasty overpowers the Central Plains Taoist Sect, it is not in our interests. It is our goal to keep them in confrontation for as long as possible."
The Dragon Emperor nodded.
"However, Liangshan's one hundred and eight generals have responded to the fate of heaven and earth. If they are allowed to get together, I am afraid that the history we are familiar with will repeat itself."
"So we can't let them get together."
"you mean…?"
Xu Junming smiled faintly.
…
Because it has not been repaired for a long time, the official road has become dilapidated.
But because this place is the only way to enter Hunzhou, there are many business travelers coming and going.
Among the group of pedestrians carrying bags on their shoulders, there were two women.
The one walking in front was wearing a long green cloth skirt, a thorn hairpin in his head, a green jade bamboo staff in his hand, and a red leather gourd hanging from his waist. He looked ordinary and had an indifferent expression.
To her left is a pretty and heroic girl wearing a lavender sword uniform.
The two of them were walking slowly, but they seemed to be walking very fast, but the people around them seemed to turn a blind eye.
"Master, ahead is Hunzhou County."
Glancing at the majestic city in the distance, "Let's bypass the county seat and go directly to Dulonggang."
"Master, why are we going there?"
Turning her head to look at her young apprentice, most of the coldness on the green-clothed woman's face dissipated.
"Your master said that there is a woman there who has good qualifications. If she can pass the entrance test of our Chongshan Academy, she will be accepted by me as her disciple."
The purple-clothed girl's eyes lit up, "So I'm going to have a junior sister?"
The woman smiled lightly and said, "Maybe, but don't have too high expectations."
The direct disciples of Chongshan Academy are always one in a million.
"Master, his vision is definitely not bad."
The woman smiled, turned her head, and remembered her master's instructions.
"If you can, keep it. If you can't, just move it to the small world of Chongshan."
Obviously, the master's purpose is not to let her accept a disciple, but to break the great fortune after the gathering of Tiangang and Earth Evils.
She didn't interrupt her little apprentice's 'senior sister's dream' either.
The two masters and apprentices bypassed the county seat and walked along the official road for about a thousand miles, when a village shop appeared on the roadside.
On the curtain that was picked out, the words "Zhujiadian" were written neatly.
Looking at the Zhujia store, which was built with earth and thatched roof but covered an area of two or three acres and was crowded with people, the master and apprentice stopped in their tracks.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Li Yingqiong asked.
What Xu Huang was thinking was that if he took the initiative to recruit a disciple and Hu Sanniang failed in the end, he would not look good if he refused again.
On the other hand, if she takes the initiative to become a disciple, if she fails the test, she will pass if she refuses.
The key is, how to get her to take the initiative to vote?
"Qiong'er, I remember that you don't have any disciples now, right?"
Li Yingqiong shook his head.
"My disciple's current cultivation level has only just advanced to the realm of True Immortal. He is so far behind the seven senior sisters. He should be busy working hard, so how can he have the heart to teach his disciples."
"There is a saying: if the master has something to do, the disciple will do his duty. Since you have no disciples, the master will have to ask you to make more trips."
Li Yingqiong was confused.
Can you still do this?
After he came to his senses, he quickly said: "Please give me instructions, my mentor."
"This place is Dulonggang. There are three major forces on this mountain: Zhujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang. You go and show off your skills to attract them to become their disciples."
"Apprenticeship?"
She was a little confused about the master's operation. Aren't they here to recruit the younger junior sister?
She also thought about taking a step further and becoming a senior sister.
"You tell them that my master is practicing in the Funiu Mountain that we passed by before, and you can introduce them to me to practice under me." Xu Huang nodded.
"Master, why don't you come directly to your door to accept a disciple?"
"Being a teacher makes sense, so go ahead."
"Disciple, obey."
…
Lijiazhuang is a large village on Dulonggang.
There are thousands of acres of fertile land and a population of tens of thousands, all of whom are born to tenants of the Li family.
According to legend, Li's mother dreamed of a golden eagle falling into her arms at night, so she gave birth to Li Ying.
The latter was extremely talented and practiced the family's marksmanship. Before he was forty, he had already achieved the realm of marrow cleansing.
Under his leadership, Lijiazhuang became more and more prosperous.
In Dulonggang, which has a radius of thousands of miles, together with Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, they jointly fight against the Liangshan bandits, which have become more and more powerful in recent years.
Looking at Lijiazhuang, which was surrounded by a three-foot-high wall and looked like a small town, Li Yingqiong thought for a while.
"Master asked me not to hold back."
The thought was certain, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
He opened his left palm, and a large seal of two dragons intertwined slowly flew out.
One stroke with the halberd finger of the right hand.
"go."
The big seal's light surged, and it instantly turned into a ten-foot-long seal. After it flew a hundred feet into the air, it struck down hard.
"Boom...!"
There were no injuries when he landed, but with a thunderous sound, the entire Lijiazhuang shook violently like an earthquake within a radius of a hundred miles.
Fortunately, Li Yingqiong knew the importance and did not use the full power of this top-grade immortal weapon, the Two Dragon Seal. Otherwise, if the seal were to go down, the entire Li Family Village would have been leveled.
Even so, Lijiazhuang was frightened to death.
The villagers, who thought Earth Dragon had turned over, ran out with shock on their faces.
