Chapter 192: Lianxu Monk, Feiyun City
In the distant sky, a flying boat engraved with a pattern of a small boat was traveling at high speed, leaving a long wake.
Soon, it arrived at the nearby sea and slowly descended.
The wake, which originally could not stay in the air for long, slowly dissipated only after the flying boat stopped, which shows how fast it was.
"Fellow Daoist Qingguang, what are you doing? Are you bullying the younger generation?"
A skinny, dark-skinned old man flew out from the flying boat, staring at Taoist Qingguang with a pair of energetic eyes.
"Xi Daoyuan, this has nothing to do with you, so don't meddle in other people's business."
Taoist Qingguang said with a fearful look, he didn't expect the boy in front of him to be so difficult to deal with. If Xi Daoyuan was added to the mix, it would be difficult to win this battle.
"How come it has nothing to do with me!"
Xi Daoyuan raised his gray eyebrows. He glanced at the direction where the flying boats of the Chen and Wang families left and said, "It is my duty to send these spiritual families safely to the Tianyuan Continent. If I fail, I will be ridiculed by my peers in the world of immortal cultivation."
"Old man Xi, don't come here. If these people don't reach an agreement with you, they are not your guests. I advise you to stay out of irrelevant matters. Otherwise, swords have no eyes. If they get hurt or killed, don't blame me."
Taoist Qingguang's words were harsh, but the hint of fear in his expression could not be hidden from the other party.
"You are still stubborn even when death is imminent. I will tell you the truth. I am here to pick up the spirit family on the orders of Emperor Jiang. If you are not afraid of death, just do it."
Xi Daoyuan smiled so much that his face was full of wrinkles. How could he refuse such an offer of killing the enemy and asking for credit when it came to him?
Taoist Qingguang was incredulous and asked, "Aren't you a member of the Bibo Xianzhou League? When did you join the ranks of Emperor Jiang Taijiang?"
"I don't need to report to you for my actions. Just tell me straight out loud whether I will release him or not. I haven't taken action for a long time and I am itching to do it!"
"Hmph, I'll let you off this time, Que'er, let's go!"
Taoist Qingguang was straightforward. He called Duan Wuque and went straight back to Qixia Island.
"Master, what should we do?" Duan Wuque couldn't help but ask after entering Qixia Island.
"Well, we can only follow the original plan."
Seeing the other party flee, Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Thank you for your rescue, senior."
Fortunately, the old man came, otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for him to save Wang Daning and he could only escape alone.
Xi Daoyuan waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, I am just following orders. If you want to thank me, please go to Jianghuang City to thank His Majesty when you have the chance in the future."
The "Your Majesty" he was referring to was naturally Emperor Jiang.
"Okay, call your people back and wait patiently. We'll leave when the number of people is full."
"Yes, thank you for your help, Senior."
With Xi Daoyuan's support, the two had no worries. Immediately, Chen Sheng and Wang Daning each used the communication array to contact their respective family's flying boats.
But within a day, the two flying boats returned one after another.
The flying boat of the Bi Bo Xian Zhou League has a large capacity. Carrying a thousand people is not a problem. It is naturally more than enough to accommodate only about two hundred people.
Under the arrangement of the monks of the Immortal Alliance, the two families were quickly settled.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Daning was very considerate. His Wang family covered all the expenses this time. After all, if it weren’t for Chen Sheng, the Wang family would have been finished long ago.
While waiting, a month passed quickly. During this period, more and more monks boarded the flying boat, gradually approaching the capacity limit.
"Isn't that Duan Wuque, the one we fought before? Why is he here too?"
Chen Sheng pointed at the leader of the family and asked in confusion.
"You don't know that his Duan family is also a not-too-small family in Xunlinghai. There are at least one or two spiritual cultivators in the family. They will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to join Emperor Jiang's army."
After Wang Daning introduced a few sentences, he sighed: "It's really a narrow road for enemies."
"This person is at least a disciple of Taoist Qingguang. How could old Qingguang be willing to let the spiritual family leave?"
"Who knows? I guess this guy has reached a bottleneck in his cultivation. He may need help from his apprentice in the future."
Before long, the flying boat was full.
Xi Daoyuan gave the order to set off for Tianyuan Continent.
Chen Sheng used some spirit stones and had a cabin to himself. Taking this opportunity, he used a secret method to transmit all his experiences after leaving Dongzhou to his original self.
At this time, Chen An, who was practicing in a cave in the north mountain, received a message from his clone Chen Sheng.
Ever since Chen Sheng left Beishan, met Huang Lin, passed through the Sea Snake Wind Region, stayed at Wang's house temporarily, treated Wang Yan, and then fought with the monks from Qixia Island, and finally Xi Daoyuan helped him board the flying boat safely, Chen Anquan knew all the events.
"Surprisingly, the removal order was not used. This is a little better than expected."
Chen An nodded slightly and was not worried about the several risks his clone encountered.
Before leaving, he gave the teleportation order to his clone. With this treasure in hand and the escape technique, he could escape safely even if he encountered Lianxu.
This treasure was not exposed during this trip, which can be regarded as keeping an extra trump card.
A few months later, Chen An absorbed the rich spiritual energy accumulated by the five-colored lotus platform and the jade spirit bead. He felt that the time was about right, so he got up and left the cave, and went to the Spirit Cultivation Island through the teleportation array.
Ever since more violent spiritual energy leaked in from the formation on the island last time, the age of the blue silk and jade coral has also accelerated.
A while ago, Qingze and the other two took advantage of the Yaksha tribe's slack patrol and once again entered the Sea of Turbulence, picking up a batch of spiritual herbs.
Chen An stepped forward, holding the spiritual plants presented by the three people in his storage bag.
[Harvest a 900-year-old jade coral and obtain the exquisite Lingbao jade cushion]
[Harvest a 900-year-old blue silk and obtain the Qingling Huaqi Jue]
The Jade Prayer Mat may look like a simple jade cushion, but it can gather spiritual energy on its own and assist the cultivation of the psychic monks.
Although it does not have the function of accumulating spiritual energy like the Five-Colored Lotus Platform and the Jade Spirit Bead, it has the advantage of being sustainable and can be used for cultivation at any time.
Using the Jade Prayer Mat on a daily basis and the Five-Colored Lotus Platform and Jade Spirit Beads occasionally, the speed of cultivation can be taken to a higher level.
Putting away the jade cushion, Chen An focused his attention on the Qingling Huaqi Jue.
The greatest feature of the Qingling Huaqi Jue is its purification ability. Through a unique practice method, it can guide the cultivator to sense the flow of spiritual energy around them, gradually guide the violent spiritual energy into the body, and then circulate it through special meridians to remove impurities and violent energy in the spiritual energy, turning it into pure spiritual energy for the cultivator to absorb.
The Qingling Huaqi Jue is divided into three levels from the first to the third turn.
In the first stage, one can learn how to guide and refine spiritual energy, and initially master the basic techniques of purifying spiritual energy. One can practice in places where the spiritual energy is relatively violent, but the purification effect is limited.
In the second stage, the cultivators have a deeper understanding of the Qingling Huaqi Jue, and can purify the spiritual energy more efficiently. At the same time, even if they practice in a more adverse environment, they will not be affected too much, and their adaptability is extremely strong. In the third stage, they have reached the peak of the Qingling Huaqi Jue, and can not only easily purify any violent spiritual energy, but also transform the surrounding spiritual energy into the attributes they need, which is truly amazing!
Not to mention that the properties of spiritual energy can be transformed at will, just the speed of purifying the violent spiritual energy, as long as you find a suitable place in the Sea of Chaos, the speed of cultivation is almost comparable to that of a sixth-level spiritual land.
With only the third-level Qingling Huaqi Jue, Chen An can practice anywhere in the Sea of Chaos without any restrictions.
Thinking of this, Chen An, out of curiosity, silently practiced the magic spell and absorbed the violent spiritual energy nearby.
During the transformation of the technique, the spiritual energy absorbed into the body gradually removed the violent energy and became purer.
After several cycles, Chen An's mind moved, and a small wisp of milky white spiritual energy shot out from his fingertips, swaying slightly, as if it would be blown away by the wind if there was any gust of wind.
"I wonder if this pure spiritual energy can be infused into spiritual plants using the Spiritual Infusion Method."
After thinking for a moment, he took action and immediately performed the spiritual infusion method, infusing milky white spiritual energy into the roots of a spiritual plant that was about three hundred years old.
The age of this spiritual plant has also increased significantly. Looking at the progress bar, it has increased in age by about half a year.
This means that it only takes about five years to harvest a wave of nine-hundred-year-old fifth-level spiritual plants.
After the experiment, Chen An was delighted and immediately decided to reduce the cultivation of jade coral and focus the saved energy on the blue silk.
Of the jade coral that was obtained, only the jade spirit beads and the jade divine liquid were of some use. As for the jade prayer mat, one was enough for the time being. The rest of our energy could be focused on the green spiritual silk.
Of course, after the harvest, Chen An also promptly passed a copy of the Qingling Huaqi Jue to his clone. It might not be needed for the time being, but it’s better to be prepared.
After Chen Sheng boarded the flying boat, he practiced in the cabin and rarely went out.
The original body and the clone can share secret techniques and memories through secret methods, but they practice separately and cannot share their cultivation.
If you want to be promoted, the clone also needs to practice hard.
In this way, time passes quickly during cultivation.
One year later.
On this day, Chen Sheng rarely came out of the cabin, stood at the bow, and looked at the distant coastline.
After a year of travel, we finally arrived at Tianyuan Continent!
The flying boat of the Bi Bo Xian Zhou League is very fast, almost comparable to the escape speed of an early stage Void Refinement cultivator. It still takes a year to make this journey, and an ordinary flying boat would take even longer.
Moreover, under the intimidation of the Xianzhou Alliance, the villains along the way did not dare to have any evil ideas. Not to mention that the Xianzhou Alliance had a cultivator in the middle stage of the Refinement Realm as its backer, just with Xi Daoyuan in charge of the flying boat, ordinary cultivators would not seek trouble for themselves.
"The border of Qingcang Province is ahead. My mission will be completed when you reach Feiyun City."
At some point, Xi Daoyuan also came to the bow of the boat and said lightly with his eyes narrowed.
Wang Daning looked a little puzzled: "Feiyun City? Aren't we going to Jianghuang City?"
Xi Daoyuan was immediately amused when he heard this: "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You can't just move into Jianghuang City whenever you want!"
Wang Daning blushed at these words, and he quickly said, "I dare not, I dare not."
"I would like to ask for your advice and suggestions, senior." Chen Sheng took the opportunity to step forward and ask.
Xi Daoyuan nodded slightly, without hiding anything, and told the key points:
"Jianghuang City is the base camp that His Majesty the Emperor has run for thousands of years. The subordinate families in the city have long been overcrowded. Not to mention now, even before His Majesty broke through the fusion, you can't go there whenever you want."
"Qingcang Province is vast, and there are many immortal cities under the rule of Emperor Jiang. Among them, the immortal cities that are still recruiting spiritual families are only Lingyue City, Yuxi City, and Feiyun City. However, I received news before that the quotas for the other two cities in the past few months have been full. Only Feiyun City can allow you to settle in."
"It's only because you guys came not too late. If you were a few years later, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to go anywhere."
After learning the details, the Chen, Wang and Duan families secretly rejoiced. Just based on the word "Human Emperor", there must have been a constant stream of people coming to seek refuge. If it had been a few years later, they might have had no place to stay.
However, among so many immortal cultivation cities, only Feiyun City is still recruiting families. It is obvious that this place is definitely not the first choice for cultivators.
But there are no other options at the moment, and this has become their only place to stay.
After Xi Daoyuan explained the situation clearly, the flying boat arrived near Feiyun City.
The gate of Feiyun City is majestic and magnificent. It is made of a mixture of huge stones and fine iron and is extremely strong. There are complex runes and patterns carved on the gate. Under the setting sun, it emits a faint light, which is obviously the power of the formation protecting the city.
Looking up, the most eye-catching thing is a tall tower in the center of the city that reaches into the sky. It is surrounded by clouds and mist, and looks vague, mysterious and illusory.
This tower is called Feiyun Tower and is the landmark building of Feiyun City.
"The Feiyun Tower offers both opportunities and dangers. If you have enough experience, you may want to go and give it a try. It may be possible for you to soar to the sky."
Under the leadership of Xi Daoyuan and the watchful eyes of a team of city gate guards, the group entered the city, turned left, and after walking just a few dozen steps, they arrived at a place called "Feiyun Palace".
As soon as they arrived at the door, a middle-aged monk with a fat figure came up to greet them with a smile, glanced at Chen Sheng and his group, and said, "Senior Xi, you have worked hard, and I will take care of the rest."
"Okay, you get busy first."
"Congratulations, senior."
Chen Sheng and his companions bowed and said farewell.
Originally, Xi Daoyuan had already completed his mission by sending them to Tianyuan Continent, but he not only led the group into the city personally, but also explained many things they should know about entering the city, and led them to Feiyun Palace, which can be considered as he had done his utmost.
"I am one of the stewards of Feiyun Palace. My last name is Min Kui. You can just call me Steward Min. Everyone, please follow me."
After Xi Daoyuan left, Min Kui immediately stopped smiling and led the way with an expressionless face.
After passing through Feiyun Palace, the group arrived at a small square. The place was not too big, but it was more than enough to accommodate more than 300 people.
Chen Sheng also knew a little about the purpose of his visit.
Although it is relatively easy to settle in Feiyun City, not just any family can move in.
In addition to checking the number and quality of spirits to measure their treatment, they also prevent foreign races from infiltrating.
The human race has existed on the Tianyuan Continent for countless years, and there must be hostile forces. In order to prevent spies from entering the city, inspection is essential.
Chen Sheng and others waited quietly for half an hour, and suddenly a few people came in from outside with serious expressions. They were all cultivators who had reached the perfect state of transformation of the spirit. There was even a cultivator who had reached the realm of refining emptiness among them.
Judging from his aura, it was slightly stronger than Xi Daoyuan's.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Min Kui spoke: "According to the order of Emperor Jiang, all the ready-made places under Qingcangzhou can recruit talents from all over the world to expand their strength. Feiyun City is no exception. All families that move into my Feiyun City must first be examined. Anyone who impersonates as an outsider will be beheaded!"
After saying this, the cultivator who was resting with his eyes closed suddenly had a gleam in his eyes, and a bronze mirror that was simple and unadorned but had a terrifying aura flew out.
The next moment, countless mirror lights shone on all the people from the three families present, and the gradually dimming dusk suddenly became as bright as day.
