Chapter 58 Final Arrangement
Wu Yan flew away from Wujia Mountain, controlled the Qingye magic weapon and flew out of Qing County, and chose an uninhabited place to land. After taking out the map of Tianlang Country and checking it, Wu Yan pondered for a moment and had a plan.
He added a wind control technique to himself, and Wu Yan ran all the way to a nearby large market town. With the full use of the wind control technique, Wu Yan only took half an hour to drive more than a hundred miles. After entering the market town, Wu Yan hired a carriage in the market, threw ten taels of silver to the driver, and after specifying the direction of Yunzhou City, he got into the carriage and lay comfortably on the seat with his eyes closed. The driver smiled and whipped the horse to start. This place is more than a thousand miles away from Yunzhou City. If the carriage runs at full speed, it can arrive in two days. The driver may not be able to earn ten taels of silver in a month's business, so he is naturally willing to do this job.
Wu Yan is not in a hurry to rush to Yunzhou City, and he doesn't want to waste his magic power. Although if he used the Wind Controlling Technique with all his strength, he could reach the destination in half a day, but that would definitely exhaust his mana, which was not what he wanted. Wu Yan, sitting in the carriage, could not help but ponder.
He is now at the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage. In four years, he cultivated from the eighth level to the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage. Wu Yan felt helpless about this cultivation speed. Moreover, he still relied on swallowing a lot of pills to reach this speed. How could he be happy?
In the past four years, he had gone out several times and visited Yun Hezi in Jingzhou and Lu Cangli in Bingzhou. From the mouths of these two casual cultivators, he has learned a lot about the affairs of immortal cultivators, and he is no longer the little cultivator who knows nothing. It is precisely because he knows so much that Wu Yan is very dissatisfied with his cultivation.
Yun Hezi is now a cultivator at the eleventh level of Qi Refining Stage, and Lu Cangli is even more powerful. He has reached the great perfection of the twelfth level of Qi Refining Stage and is looking for ways to build a foundation everywhere.
Both of them told Wu Yan that the quality of the spiritual roots of immortal cultivators determines the speed of their cultivation. Of course, there are other factors that will affect the speed of cultivation, that is, the elixir that the cultivator takes and the spiritual land chosen for cultivation.
Yun Hezi is the head of the Bingzhou Yun family of cultivation, and Lu Cangli is the eldest son of the Bingzhou Lu family and a key training target. Although the cultivation lands chosen by the two families cannot be compared with those of the cultivation sects, they are also spiritual veins with spiritual energy. Their cultivation speed is naturally stronger than that of Wu Yan, a casual cultivator who cultivates without a spiritual land. Strictly speaking, Wu Yan has been cultivating for more than nine years, from the first level to the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage. This speed is barely considered average in the world of cultivation. Although Yun Hezi is 26 years old this year, he only started to cultivate when he was 20 years old. According to the rules and experience passed down by his family, if one's mind is not mature, cultivation will inevitably be affected by various external affairs, and the realm of cultivation will inevitably be greatly affected.
Whether this statement is correct or not can be seen by looking at Yun Hezi who took only six years to cultivate from the first level to the eleventh level without taking any elixir. Such a fast speed is not only because of his potential as a "true spiritual root" with two attributes of gold and water, but also because he has been following the family's inherited cultivation experience and has been struggling in society for more than ten years. His mind is fully mature and no longer affected by external things, so he can achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation.
And Lu Cangli is even more powerful. He is only 20 years old this year, one year younger than Wu Yan, and he started practicing later than Wu Yan. He started practicing at the age of 14. It took him six years to practice to the twelfth level of perfection. He can go further and build a foundation. At first glance, it seems that he is only slightly stronger than Yun Hezi, but it is actually wrong.
As far as Wu Yan knows, Lu Cangli is actually a cultivator with "thunder spiritual roots" among the extremely rare "mutated spiritual roots" in the cultivation world. The cultivation speed of this kind of "thunder spiritual root" cultivator is no less than that of the "sky spiritual root" cultivator with a single attribute. It is said that it is two or three times faster than the cultivation speed of Yun Hezi's "true spiritual roots" with two attributes. The reason why Lu Cangli took six years to reach this state is that he spent a lot of time practicing a basic thunder-type technique. Because he wanted to practice the intermediate thunder-type technique in a hurry, he spent four years practicing this basic thunder-type technique in the six years of practice, which led to him taking six years to practice to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
Compared with these two perverted guys, Wu Yan can be said to be an ordinary cultivator who can't be more ordinary. He used the attribute stone specially used by Yun Hezi's family to test the attributes of cultivators' spiritual roots to measure his own attributes. Wu Yan is a "true spiritual root" cultivator with three attributes of wood, fire, and earth.
Like him, he is neither a genius "heavenly spiritual root" or "different spiritual root" cultivator, nor a useless "pseudo spiritual root" cultivator, but just an ordinary cultivator with average qualifications. Moreover, he has neither extremely high talent nor special physique, such as "Nine Yang Body", "Nine Yin Body", "Xuan Yin Eye" and so on. If there is no special opportunity, according to Yun Hezi, the highest achievement in this life will only be the foundation-building stage. It is impossible to form a pill and become a high-level cultivator in the Jindan stage. It is even unknown whether the foundation can be successfully built.
Since then, after arranging things at home, Wu Yan plans to look for special opportunities. After all, he is now at the tenth level of Qi Refining stage, and is not far from foundation building. If he cannot join the sect, use the sect as his support, use the sect's spiritual place as a place of cultivation, and look for opportunities to obtain some aids in elixirs that are very helpful in building a foundation, then he may have no hope of building a foundation in this life.
Yun Hezi and Lu Xian'er had both told him that every five years, the hidden sect of the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom's Buddhist Temple in Amituo Mountain would open its gates and send envoys to Tianlang City, the county seat of the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom, to hold a Buddhist Assembly to select candidates. Recruit disciples. Anyone who is selected will naturally reach the sky in one step and become a disciple of the sect that is the envy of all casual cultivators. In this way, in the great cause of immortal cultivation, it will naturally be more stable and farther than casual cultivation.
This year happens to be the pagoda conference held every five years in the Tianlang Kingdom’s immortal world. Although due to the affairs of the Feng family and the Yan family, Wu Yan deeply thought that if his killing of pharmacist Feng and the beheading of the person were discovered by the people of the Buddha Palace, he might be hunted by them, but before taking the risk, If he could choose between going further on the road of cultivating immortality or hiding away to avoid disaster and practicing alone for a lifetime without hope, he still resolutely chose to take this risk.
He had already inquired about the affairs of the Feng family and the Yan family from Yun Hezi and Lu Xian'er. Although Pharmacist Feng's great-uncle Feng Jiuchong was selected into the Pagoda Palace and became a disciple of Pagoda sixty or seventy years ago, Yun Hezi said that he had fallen at the border between Tianlang Kingdom and Shen Kingdom a few years ago. . It is said that he was killed in a sneak attack by a mysterious Demon Sect monk. Because this matter involved the appearance of Demon Sect disciples in Tianlang County and Shen County, it caused a sensation in the immortal cultivation circles of the two countries for a long time. Even the monks from the Futu Palace and the Immortal Realm of Nashen Kingdom had sent many high-level monks to investigate the matter. Since Feng Jiuchong is dead, his secular family members may not be remembered by anyone in the Pagoda Palace.
In fact, there is no need to worry too much about the Yan family. According to Lu Xian'er, the first generation head of the Yan family, Yan Xiuluo, was originally a disciple of the Futu Palace. It was said that he was expelled from the gate because he violated the rules of the Futu Palace. After Yan Xiuluo was expelled, he settled down in Yunzhou, grew his hair and returned to secular life, got married and established a family, and became a family of casual cultivators occupying Yunzhou. The Pagoda ignored everything about him. Although later after his accident, the Futu Palace sent several disciples to investigate the matter, and even one of his senior brothers changed his name to Master Shura to help Yama Shura teach future generations. However, looking at the changes in Yunzhou over the past few decades, the Futu Palace has No disciples were sent to inquire about Master Shura and the descendants of the Yan family. It can also be inferred that the Futu Palace has probably completely eliminated the Yan Shura lineage from the sect.
Based on these two points, Wu Yan decided to contact Yun Hezi and Lu Xian'er and go to Tianlang City to try his luck with them.
Before this trip, Wu Yan was still a little worried about what happened in Yunzhou, so he hired a carriage and rushed to Yunzhou City for the last secret meeting with Zhang Tao of the Iron Blood Alliance.
Two days later, in an inconspicuous little inn in Yunzhou City, Wu Yan summoned Zhang Tao using secret communication methods.
Zhang Tao was particularly excited to see Wu Yan, who had not seen him for several years and was wearing a black cloak again.
"Junior Brother Wu, why are you here? Why didn't you go to my manor for a secret meeting, but you asked me to come here? Alas, I can't eat well or sleep well here. How can I feel so good?" Zhang Tao rubbed his hands, his face flushed. Although he has been the leader of the Iron Blood Alliance for five full years and has already developed the aura of a dignified and powerful person, when seeing Wu Yan, Zhang Tao always looks honest and loyal, and even has some habits that he has long forgotten. Sexual movements, such as scratching his head when he is at a loss, and rubbing his hands continuously when he is embarrassed, Zhang Tao will naturally reveal these behaviors that he cannot control when facing Wu Yan. It seems that nothing can be changed in the bones.
Wu Yan smiled indifferently, asked Zhang Tao to sit down on the seat next to him, and then said calmly: "Brother Zhang, I have to leave. Before leaving Yunzhou, I was still a little worried. That’s why I want you to come here, meet me, and talk about something I’m worried about.”
"Junior brother, if you need me to do anything, just ask. As long as I, Zhang Tao, can do it, I will never give in, even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire!" Zhang Tao jumped up when he heard Wu Yan's solemn words and patted his chest. , swore with a serious face.
Wu Yan nodded secretly, glad that he had seen the right person, smiled and pushed Zhang Tao back into his seat, then took out an inconspicuous pendant from his arms and handed it to Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao looked at him blankly, took the pendant in his hand, and saw that it was a thin metal chain with a yellowed fang, so he looked at Wu Yan in confusion, waiting for him to tell him the reason.
Wu Yan said: "To be honest, Brother Zhang, although I am an immortal cultivator, I am an inconspicuous and low-ranking figure in the world of immortality. Naturally, I want to pursue the road to immortality. Although I have made arrangements at home, I The second brother, Wu Shan, is born with a strong personality. Although he promised me before leaving that he would never set foot in the world, given his nature, it would be difficult for him to do so. This green wolf tooth was born when he was young. It's a toy that both of us love very much. I believe that if you have this token in your hand, Brother Zhang, you can use it to persuade him if he does something extraordinary or gets into a big disaster. It’s not enough to make him stop, it’s a blessing or a curse, it’s his fate, and I can’t do anything about it. I hope Brother Zhang can do it for me during his lifetime. I wonder if Brother Zhang can agree?”
Zhang Tao looked at the yellow wolf tooth in his hand, and after thinking for a few times, he nodded heavily and promised Wu Yan in a resounding voice: "Junior Brother Wu, even if I, Zhang Tao, die, I still have a son. The Zhang family will protect the Wu family from generation to generation!"
Wu Yan smiled, took out three small porcelain bottles from his arms, one white, one yellow and one red, and stuffed them into Zhang Tao's hands, saying: "The yellow bottle contains the life-saving pill. As long as there is still a breath, no matter how serious the injury is, it can be healed. The white bottle contains the Qi-gathering pill I refined. After taking it, anyone with any qualifications can practice pure internal strength. The red bottle contains the detoxification pill. Although I dare not say that it can detoxify all poisons in the world, one pill can remove all toxins for ordinary poisons. Well, I can finally put down the last worry. I should go, take care of yourself, Brother Zhang."
After explaining these words, Wu Yan pushed open the door, said no more, twisted his body strangely a few times, and disappeared, leaving Zhang Tao with a complicated expression, staring at the direction where Wu Yan left, in a daze.
After a long time, Zhang Tao gathered his thoughts and swore in a low voice: "Brother Wu, have a safe journey. You are a master, but you never look down on me. This alone is enough to show that you have long regarded me, Zhang Tao, as a brother. Since we are brothers, Wu Shan is also my younger brother. Even if I die, I will never let anything happen to the Wu family!"
