Chapter 121: Jiamu Thunder Source, Master Qunyao
After attending the funerals of Chen Wu and Lin Xin, Zhang Wei went to a second-level spiritual vein Youxin Lake under the guidance of Qun Yao.
Beside a rippling spiritual lake, Zhang Wei entered a villa under the guidance of Qun Yao, and then met Qun Yao's grandmother, Master You Xin of the late Purple Mansion.
Qun Yao bowed: "Grandmother."
You Xin smiled and said: "Yao'er is back..."
Although You Xin was welcoming Qun Yao, Zhang Wei clearly noticed that Master You Xin was looking at him.
So he bowed: "Junior Zhang Xiaofan, meet Master You Xin!"
You Xin nodded, then waved her hand, and two cushions appeared in front of her, and then said: "Please sit down."
Zhang Wei and Qun Yao sat down. Somehow, Zhang Wei always felt that You Xin looked at him in a very strange way, as if she wanted to tear him apart and look at him inside and out.
It made him uncomfortable.
Especially since You Xin was a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, Zhang Wei did not dare to be presumptuous, so he sat very reserved.
At this time, You Xin said, "Thank you, Xiaofan, for saving Yao'er."
Zhang Wei immediately said, "It's my job."
"My job?"
You Xin raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "Are you interested in becoming my disciple?"
Zhang Wei was startled by You Xin's sudden invitation, and then asked incredulously, "As a person from the outside sect, can I also become the master's disciple?"
Even though Zhang Wei is already in the late stage of foundation building, he is considered one of the top people in any place outside the five major sects.
If it is a sect like Yunshang Sect, there must be an elder who is worshipped.
But many things cannot be calculated in this way.
For a large sect like Yulong Mountain, they have very high requirements for the purity of the sect's inheritance. Unless it is special, they will not let people from outside the sect hold important positions in the sect, no matter how strong the other party is.
Because the other party's loyalty cannot be guaranteed.
For large sects, they prefer people with clean backgrounds who have lived and practiced in the sect since they entered the Dao.
Because they know each other well, there will generally be no problems.
In addition, there are interests.
There are also complex interests within large sects. Although it is generally based on strength and cultivation, people with higher cultivation will take better positions and obtain more resources, but when the cultivation is similar, seniority will begin to matter.
As a result, you, an outsider, just joined in and climbed directly above the heads of the old people who have worked hard for decades in the sect. Who would be willing to do that?
If you are given a good position, it will affect the internal unity!
If you are not given a good position, then what are you doing here?
It is said that it is difficult to be a casual cultivator. No matter how capable you are, the sect may not accept you. At most, they will give you the title of worship.
So Zhang Wei was so surprised when he heard You Xin actually asked him to worship her.
You Xin chuckled and said, "Of course you can, as long as you become Yao'er's..."
"Grandmother!"
Before she finished speaking, Qun Yao interrupted You Xin, her tone was so excited that her shoulders were shaking constantly.
You Xin smiled bitterly and said, "I am overstepping my authority. I will not interfere in this matter."
Zhang Wei on the side was a little embarrassed.
Combined with the actual situation, he had guessed what the second half of You Xin's sentence was.
To be honest, this condition is really attractive.
Although he has not seen Qun Yao's true appearance so far, Zhang Wei learned from Chen Wulin that Qun Yao is a beauty. Although her body is a bit big, it is not unacceptable to Zhang Wei.
More importantly, Qun Yao is a true disciple of Yulong Mountain and a future master of Zifu. With the help of Qun Yao, a late-stage master of Zifu, she can have a smooth road in the future until the Jindan stage.
Being a Taoist partner with her is definitely marrying a rich and beautiful woman.
But Zhang Wei doesn't want to.
Because he, Zhang Erye, practiced Tongzi Kungfu, and had a little family wealth, no lack of resources, plus he was in good health and had no stomach problems, so he didn't want to be a gigolo.
Of course, the most important thing was that he and Qun Yao were too familiar with each other.
Both parties were familiar friends. If they were to become Taoist couples, it would be fine if the man had feelings for the woman, but the problem was that Zhang Wei was not sure about Qun Yao's attitude.
What if she didn't want to, and was devoted to Taoism. But because of her own face, she was embarrassed to refuse openly, and she agreed to it out of self-love, how embarrassing it would be afterwards!
Are they still friends?
So Qun Yao interrupting You Xin's words was the best result, and Zhang Wei just pretended not to hear anything.
Seeing that her plan to matchmaking failed, You Xin changed the subject to avoid embarrassment and said: "Since you saved Yao'er, I must also show some appreciation. I heard from Yao'er that you are a thunder cultivator. In this case, I will give you this."
As she spoke, You Xin waved her hand, and a stream of green light flew out from her palm, and then floated quietly in front of Zhang Wei.
"This is..."
Zhang Wei looked at the green crystal in front of him in surprise. It was filled with rich wood-attributed spiritual energy, but its surface was covered with dense green lightning!
You Xin said: "This is the Jiamu Thunder Source I got from a secret place. After refining it, you can transform your own thunder method into Jiamu God Thunder.
It's a pity that I didn't get much thunder source, so after you refine it, your thunder method can only have a part of the power of Jiamu God Thunder."
Zhang Wei was shocked when he heard this.
It turned out to be the legendary Jiamu God Thunder? !
Just like many immortal cultivators who practice fire methods desire strange fire, thunder seeds are also very attractive to immortal cultivators who practice thunder methods like Zhang Wei.
There are many kinds of thunder seeds, just like strange fire, and the grades are also different, but there are ten heavenly stem thunder seeds that are recognized as the origin of all thunder seeds.
The Jiamu thunder seed in front of us is one of them.
As one of the ten great thunder seeds, Jiamu God Thunder is also called Yangmu God Thunder.
Yang is also a zodiac sign of wood, which represents vitality. In addition to the power of thunder and lightning to ward off evil spirits, the combination of the three can be said to be the best! It can be called the nemesis of all evil ways!
Even if this thunder source is relatively small and cannot allow cultivators to completely transform into Yangmu Thunder, it is also a treasure that all thunder cultivators in the five domains dream of! At least it can permanently improve their own strength by 30%!
And Zhang Wei is also practicing Shaoyang Pure Body Skill.
His own Yuan Yang is rich, and his Yang Qi is sufficient and still rising. It is naturally twice as effective to practice this Jiamu Divine Thunder. Moreover, the two complement each other, and it is estimated that it can also help him practice Shaoyang Pure Body Gong!
What a great gift!
Zhang Wei was immediately delighted when he heard this, and then immediately bowed and said: "Thank you for the gift, Master!"
You Xin stretched out his hand and tapped Zhang Wei, and smiled: "Before, you were reluctant to do it with Xi Xin, but you are so straightforward when you come to me?"
Zhang Wei laughed awkwardly twice.
However, You Xin just teased Zhang Wei twice. After giving the treasure and exchanging pleasantries for a while, You Xin said: "Okay, I still need to practice in silence. Yao'er, you can take Zhang Xiaoyou to stroll around my Youxin Lake."
"Yes!"
Qun Yao responded, then got up and took Zhang Wei out of the room. When the door closed, Master You Xin's eyes were still locked on Zhang Wei's back.
He shook his head with a smile, sighed, and closed his eyes again.
As a second-level spiritual vein, the beauty of Youxin Lake is naturally needless to say, especially the mist of spiritual energy and the lotus flowers, which make the whole lake look like a fairyland.
At this time, Qun Yao suddenly said: "Xiao Fan... what grandma said just now... that thing, you... you don't take it to heart."
Zhang Wei smiled and said: "Oh... that, it's okay, I won't take it seriously."
"Hmm..."
Qun Yao hummed in an unclear way, then looked up at the rippling lake, and said in a trance: "Xiao Fan, do you know? When I was hit by the Tiger Evil Decline Heart Curse and was about to die, I felt like I was living my life again."
Revolving lantern?
Zhang Wei heard Qun Yao's story and the first word he thought of was this.
Qun Yao continued, "When I was a child, I followed Lin Xin and others to practice. When they were building their foundation, I had just started to learn, and they took care of me since I was a child.
As a result, my progress in practice gradually caught up with them, and in the end I became a true disciple, while they who taught me in the past became the power under my command.
My grandmother taught me to be indifferent since I was a child, because on the road of cultivating immortals, I would encounter many life and death separations and conspiracies.
So the best way is to be indifferent, forget those emotions, and treat everyone as chess pieces, so that you will not be swayed by these emotions.
But until that day, when Chen Wulin Xin and others really left me, I realized that I couldn't watch their departure silently.
Even until now, I still subconsciously call their names from time to time, and I haven't come out at all...Xiao Fan, do you think I am not suitable for cultivating immortals?"
Qun Yao said in a low voice. This tall woman showed her weak appearance in front of Zhang Wei for the first time. Until this moment, she seemed to have become a person, not the so-called Qun Yao Fairy.
Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Of course not."
Zhang Wei looked at the water of Youxin Lake, looked at the water of Youxin Lake and said, "Before I embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, I fantasized about riding a sword and riding the wind, eliminating demons between heaven and earth, living as long as the sky, and sharing the same territory as the earth.
However, when I really embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, I found that it was not the case.
Cultivators are also human beings, with seven emotions and six desires, love and affection, hatred and resentment, and some even have to run around for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
So in the final analysis, we are just people who have more powerful power.
Even the so-called immortals are the same in my eyes.
In fact, we may be worse than mortals.
Mortals only live for a hundred years, but in their limited lives, they will give up their lives for some spiritual pursuits and do certain things.
And what about us so-called immortals?
They have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. , they may attack their relatives and friends in order to make further progress or live in humiliation, abandoning everything for the opportunity to climb to a higher level.
I can't say they are wrong, after all, it's for the longevity.
But in my heart, I prefer the former.
I don't want to be a slave who is called immortal, but blindly pursues the so-called longevity.
Is the purpose of immortal cultivation just to become immortal and live forever?
If the immortal is alone in the end, guarding the so-called road for endless years, then this immortal is too pitiful in my opinion.
I don't want to be that kind of immortal, nor do I want to pursue that kind of way.
So it is normal to feel sad for the death of friends and relatives, or even to have cowardly and even escape thoughts, which cannot be used as proof that you can't seek immortality.
There is never only one way to go in immortal cultivation.
But... this person has passed away, and we cannot stay in the sadness of the past after all.
Stepping into the past, remembering the past, cherishing the present, and welcoming the future is what we should do. "
Qu Yao murmured: "Step over?"
"Step forward...but it's difficult..."
Zhang Wei sighed and said with a wry smile: "I have encountered a similar situation before."
"I have two friends... one of them turned against me in order to fight for the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. Even though I said I didn't want the spiritual essence, he still attacked me, so I killed him with my own hands. That friend of mine.”
"There is another one. When I first broke through the foundation building, I found that he had lost all his energy and became a beggar on the street. I wanted to save him but he refused. Not only did he refuse, he also scolded me, saying that I was hypocritical..."
"Those two people were one of the first friends I met after entering the world of immortality. As a result, they were all strangers to me. One died physically and the other died in front of me."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. My whole mentality was a bit broken back then. I was so decadent at that time that I just wanted to drink and get drunk."
"Until another friend of mine was in danger, I wanted to save her, but she was surrounded by a bunch of enemies. I was desperate at the time, hoping that she would recognize the reality, surrender to it, and take a step back. In the end, do you know what she said? ?”
Zhang Wei asked back, and then sneered: "She is very grateful to me for coming to save her, but she just doesn't want to accept this ridiculous life! Especially the life imposed on you by others."
"I thought about it a lot in that moment."
"Compared to that friend of mine, I am happy."
"I have parents, brothers, relatives and friends who love me since I was a child. Even when I am lonely, I have a group of friends who support me."
"As for me, since I entered the path of cultivating immortality, I have cultivated very quickly and gained many opportunities. It can be said that this journey has been smooth."
"However, after breaking through the foundation building, during a period of high spirits, I was slapped into the abyss by my desperate friend."
"And what about my friend who refuses to accept his fate?"
"She has nothing but her life."
"She cultivated immortality to get rid of her miserable fate, not for the so-called immortality, so she dared to risk her life because she had nothing but her life."
"And what about me? I have many things that she envies and can only hope to achieve, but I am ruined by a single blow. Therefore, I am not as good as her, whether it is the so-called pursuit of truth or my attitude towards life."
"So from that day on, I decided to change myself. Although I would still feel sad about the death of my relatives and friends, I would no longer wallow in that pain.
I will take their memories with me, whether they are happy or painful, I will remember them as my most precious treasure, and then continue to move forward. "
"Xiao Fan..."
Qunyao looked at Zhang Wei's face in confusion. She didn't expect that Zhang Wei actually had such a story. She had known Zhang Wei for ten years but had never heard of it.
In her memory of Zhang Wei, it can be said that he was always smiling and happily drinking with Chen Wulin and the others.
Their relationship was very good, otherwise Chen Wulinxin would not still be thinking about Zhang Wei as his friend before his death.
So Lin Xin's death was a blow to Zhang Wei?
Zhang Wei had experienced the pain of losing a friend several times.
Zhang Wei said at this time: "Qunyao, I don't know how to persuade you to get out of this haze. After all, everyone's situation is different. Even as a person who has experienced it, no matter how much I say, it can only be said to you as the client. It’s said that my back doesn’t hurt when I stand and talk.”
"But I believe that with Lin Xin's temperament, if they are still alive, they don't want you to indulge in sadness. They would rather you come out."
"Maybe you used to treat them as chess pieces, but when you miss them, you actually never really treat them as so-called chess pieces in your heart.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Xin and the others will willingly stand behind you and fight for your chance to live. They really treat you as their friends. "
"So, Kunyao, keep moving forward!"
"Take their blessings and go see more beautiful scenery."
"Move forward..."
There seemed to be magic in Zhang Wei's words, which made Qu Yao's eyes empty. In a trance, she seemed to see her friends.
Chen Wu, Lin Xin, Ma Bi, Tang Qin...
They all stood in front of him at this moment, then took his hand, pulled him, and took a step forward.
tread---
The black leather boots made a crisp sound when they stepped on the floor tiles, followed by the sound of the acupoints opening in Qu Yao's body.
Rub rub rub rub ———
One hundred and seven black-gold stars popped up all over Qu Yao's body, and then on her forehead, a new star broke out!
One hundred and eight Zhoutian acupoints are all open!
boom----
A strange scene instantly appeared in Qu Yao's eyes, but in reality, a golden line appeared under her feet, spreading thousands of feet to the left and right with her as the center!
In front of her is the chirping of peanuts and birds!
And behind her, there was chaos!
One step to death, one step to life!
Qunyao, come to Zifu today!
Zhang Wei looked at this scene in surprise, but he was not surprised for long.
After all, although this is unexpected, it is also reasonable.
With Qunyao's background, she was qualified to attack the Zi Mansion ten years ago, but she delayed it again and again in order to prepare for the Shennong Secret Realm.
As a result, I encountered a knot in my heart in Shennong's secret realm.
Now that the knot in my heart has been resolved, it is a matter of course for me to break through the last hole and enter the realm of unity between man and nature to realize the true picture of the great road.
The golden thread was withdrawn, and the distinct worlds of life and death also disappeared.
Qu Yao seemed to be a different person at this moment, exuding an aura that was at least ten times more powerful than before, and her mood was even more high-spirited!
Hmm...it feels like my body has developed a second time.
It's taller...two meters and four meters, right?
Qu Yao turned around and smiled slightly at Zhang Wei.
"Thank you, Xiaofan..."
Zhang Wei waved his hand and said: "You're welcome! From today on, I have to call you Master Quyao."
Kunyao stretched out her hand to pull up her hair at the temples, bent down slightly, looked down at Zhang Wei who was very close at hand, and said, "Farewell, Xiaofan, you'd better call me Kunyao, Master or something like that is too unfamiliar."
"Oh well……"
Zhang Wei was sincerely happy for Qunyao.
Not only for her to further her cultivation and become a Master of the Purple Mansion that will last for five hundred years, but also for her to get out of the gloom.
At this time, the news of Qu Yao's breakthrough also attracted the attention of Master You Xin who was meditating in the distance.
Whoosh————
A stream of light fell, and Master You Xin looked at Qunyao in surprise. He didn't expect that he had only been away for two hours, and his granddaughter would break through the last hurdle and become the Zifu?
And judging from the fluctuations of spiritual thoughts, the true picture of the great road and the quality of spiritual thoughts that Qu Yao realized are still very powerful!
You Xin still remembered the state her granddaughter was in when she first came back. She was ready to let Kunyao rest for twenty or thirty years before making a breakthrough, but it only took two hours?
How is this done?
You Xin looked at Zhang Wei who was standing next to Kun Yao. His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just said to Kun Yao: "I didn't expect Yao'er to break through the Zi Mansion directly. Come back with me to consolidate first." Let’s cultivate for a while.”
"Um……"
Qunyao nodded, then turned around and waved to Zhang Wei, smiling: "Goodbye Xiaofan! When I get out of seclusion, I will take you back to Baicao Domain!"
"Um……"
Zhang Wei responded, and then watched Qu Yao leave with Master You Xin.
Then he stretched out and said to himself, "Find a place to retreat and refine the Jiamu Lei Source."
