Chapter 68 Old Man Qiong
Zhang Tie looked at the old man in tattered clothes in front of him and stopped walking.
Old man Qiong used to wear such tattered clothes, and the grease on his face even blocked his face.
However, ever since Zhang Tie became his successor, he has never been so destitute again.
"Zhang Tie?" Old man Qiong opened his eyes and looked at the strange cultivator in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Old man Qiong was already seriously injured after failing to break through previously, and then his magic power was sealed by Miaoyin. At this moment, he couldn't even move, so naturally he couldn't see Zhang Tie's true identity.
Zhang Tie shook off the dust on his body, and seeing old man Qiong looking at him with confusion, he couldn't help but pat his head and said, "Look at my brain!" Then magic surged all over his body, and the disguise on his body disappeared like running water.
"How did you get here?" Old Man Qiong looked at Zhang Tie for a while, his mind racing, and he guessed the whole story in a blink of an eye. Then he started laughing, "I didn't expect that the Yanyue Sect, one of the seven sects, couldn't even recognize a cultivator who hadn't even reached the foundation-building stage. It's really declining!"
"Master, please stop laughing." Zhang Tie walked over and helped Old Man Qiong stand up. "What's wrong with you?"
"Failed to break through, seriously hurt!"
"Is there any way to recover?"
Old man Qiong shook his head. "Indeed, there is, but it is difficult. Miaoyin's cultivation is close to the Nascent Soul stage. I can't break her seal unless I have enough spiritual medicine."
"Spiritual medicine?" Zhang Tie's mind moved, "What spiritual medicine?"
"Don't even think about it," Old Man Qiong shook his head, "Unless you can plunder the entire Yanyue Sect, it's impossible!"
Zhang Tie frowned when he heard this, and then seemed to have made a decision, "Master, do you know where the secret treasure of Yanyue Sect is hidden?"
"Do you really want to rob the Yanyue Sect?" Even though Old Man Qiong was knowledgeable, he was still a little confused. "Where do you get your confidence from?"
Zhang Tie chuckled, "Master, have you forgotten who got the Qingxu Sect's secret treasure in the end?"
"How can it be the same? At that time, the Qingxu Sect was almost wiped out, and those Yuanying didn't take you seriously at all. How do you plan to wipe out the Yanyue Sect this time? And how do you escape from the hands of the Grand Ancestor?"
"Master, I just happened to hear a secret. Besides, if we can't grab it, we can just run away. My invisible escape technique has reached the highest level!"
Afterwards, Zhang Tie told Old Man Qiong all his recent experiences and even demonstrated his invisible escape technique.
"You," Old Man Qiong looked at Zhang Tie in shock, then thought about his current situation and thought to himself that at worst he could leave his old bones here. So he said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
“But how are you going to get me out of the Trial Peak? And this woman in yellow is Miaoyin’s maid. If she doesn’t go back, Miaoyin will definitely come looking for her!”
"Master, don't worry. I have mastered the formation now!"
Zhang Tie laughed, and amidst the surprised expression of Old Man Qiong, he easily avoided the interception of the Trial Peak formation and came out.
"Tell me, have you been possessed by the Yuanying old monster?"
Old Man Qiong followed Zhang Tie all the way to a lake in the Yanyue Sect and watched Zhang Tie once again crack the secret formation in the lake.
"This seems to be a third-level dragon-trapping array? And it also has an illusion array. How come it is here and no one has noticed it?"
Old Man Qiong looked at the lake he had never seen before and the secret formation in it. He suddenly felt that he didn't understand the Yanyue Sect very well.
"Master, this should be arranged by the people of the Demon Sect. The formation is extremely sophisticated and difficult to detect." "However, since this lake is also newly built, the Moon-Blanking Sect did not carefully check it in order to obtain the help of the so-called Cloud-Blanking Sect. Master, please wait for me here. I have some arrangements outside and will bring back some pills by the way."
"If nothing works after two days, we'll just leave here and start over somewhere else!"
Old Man Qiong nodded, "Okay, I'll wait here for two days. With your elixir, my cultivation will recover a little. But what do you mean by changing places?"
Afterwards, Zhang Tie introduced the ancient pine formation, which made Old Man Qiong sigh again that he was really old.
Zhang Tie had a smooth journey and met Han Li who was buying a magic weapon in the market.
"This is?"
Zhang Tie looked at the exquisitely shaped small flying boat in Han Li's hand with a surprised look on his face, "Where did this come from?"
"I bought it at an auction!" Han Li laughed, "This flying boat is a legendary ancient treasure. It's extremely fast, and even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can't catch up!"
"Not bad," Zhang Tie praised. As expected of Old Demon Han, he could always find some good stuff at the auction.
"Brother Zhang asked me to come here, but did he find Senior Qiong?"
"That's right!" Zhang Tie nodded, "But Master is injured. I want to stay in Yanyue Sect for a few more days and leave after three days."
Han Li frowned when he heard this, "Why is that?"
Then Zhang Tie told Han Li his plan, "What do you think, Junior Brother?"
"Not so good!" Han Li refuted Zhang Tie, which was rare. He then said seriously, "Brother, why do you want to take such a risk? You should know that we almost died in Qingxu Sect last time."
"The situation of the Moon-Shattering Sect is obviously more dangerous this time than last time. Why should we take the initiative to go there? Besides, we still have a lot of resources in our hands. We may be able to help Senior Qiong recover his cultivation."
"This," Zhang Tie suddenly came to his senses after hearing Han Li's words, thinking to himself, why do I want to take risks so much? The resources in Chaos Star Sea are much more than here, and the resources for prolonging life are also there, why should I gamble on the Yanyue Sect?
"Okay," Zhang Tie nodded, "Junior brother, you are right, I am possessed by a demon!"
"Go find Xiang Ling, and then wait for me at the teleportation array. I will take Master away from Yanyue Sect right away."
Han Li nodded, "Brother Zhang, be careful!"
Just as Zhang Tie was about to leave, a group of monks from the Yanyue Sect suddenly walked into the inn. A pretty woman, who was the leader, sat down not far from Zhang Tie and the others, ordered a few pots of spiritual tea, then stood up and said to everyone present:
"My fellow Taoists, the Yanyue Sect will hold a marriage ceremony with the Luoyun Sect tomorrow. At that time, the Yanyue Sect will open the Welcoming Guests Peak, and all the cultivators will be able to participate without paying any price."
"What? We can enter the Moon-shattering Sect?"
"What kind of grand ceremony? Who will marry whom?"
"What will happen after we go in?"
All sorts of questions suddenly arose among the crowd.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoists. Although you can only stay in Yingke Peak, my Yanyue Sect will open the Gathering Spirit Array on Yingke Peak on the wedding day. All cultivators can practice in it for half a month."
