Chapter 173 New Allies Are Old Friends

In the southwest of Kuaiji, in the territory of Quzhou, there is a mountain. Two hundred miles to the north you can reach Qingzhou, two hundred miles to the west is Yuzhang, and two hundred miles to the south is Min. It is located on a major road and has convenient transportation.

This mountain is not far from Qujiang River, and there are two large lakes on the side. The mountains and water are dependent on each other, and the scenery is beautiful.

However, the land of China is beautiful with mountains and rivers, and there are countless mountains like this one, so in the past no one paid much attention to this place, and no one occupied the mountain to establish a religion.

Until one day, Juqu Mountain, Sanqing Mountain, Luofu Mountain and Siming Mountain jointly announced the establishment of Haoran League, which was mainly used to actively prevent the infiltration of northern demonic forces in the northwest, and to proactively attack southern and overseas demonic forces in the southeast coast. Then the righteous forces in Jinling, Yuzhang, Bamin, Yuyang, Kuaiji and other places responded.

Finally, after several surveys, the headquarters of Haoran League was set on this mountain in Quzhou and named Ziwei Mountain. The reason for setting it on Ziwei Mountain was not for the spiritual energy of the ground, but for the convenience of issuing orders.

When it was first settled here, the local forces of Kuaiji, the Three Heavenly Gods, were not happy about it. That is, the three mountains of Tianmu, Tianmu and Tiantai, the Three Heavenly Gods did not join the Haoran League, and the reason why they did not join was because Longhu Mountain did not join either.

But they didn't want to do it, and they didn't have the final say in Kuaiji. Even Longhu Mountain couldn't stop the combined efforts of several ancestral temples, let alone his Three Days of Divine Beauty. Moreover, Ziwei Mountain was located on the border of Kuaiji, far away from them, and had not occupied their territory.

Ziwei Mountain is very close to Sanqing Mountain. Even if you drive the cloud slowly, it will only take more than an hour. After Cheng Xinzhan entered the Golden Core Realm, he had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the Second Realm. Apart from other things, he was no longer able to fly in the air.

The physical body of the third realm is no longer bound by the state of bones and blood, but can be transformed into a ball of refined and condensed spiritual energy, as light as a feather. As long as you relax your mind, a gust of wind will blow and you can fly into the sky. Even if you die at the end of your life, your remains will not be a cold physical body, but a ball of flying white feathers, scattered between heaven and earth, and then dissolve into spiritual energy to feed back to heaven and earth. The Taoist inner elixir will turn into an illusory white crane, flapping its wings in the white feathers and soaring beyond the blue sky.

He has transcended the ordinary and reached the level of an immortal, so those in the Golden Core Realm are respectfully called Master Yu.

At this moment, Cheng Xinzhan's body turned into a ball of pure spiritual light, attached to the flying "Taodu". From a distance, it looked like a stream of red-gold sword light. It arrived at Ziwei Mountain in just a moment.

——Master Dong urged him to leave, so Cheng Xinzhan only stayed in Mingzhi Mountain for half a month after he formed the elixir. He left the mountain after clarifying the next key practice path for Gu Xinsu.

Nowadays, Ziwei Mountain is bustling with people coming and going. The mountain protection formation "Ziweixingdu Formation" was jointly built by the people of Juqu Mountain and other allies. The base of the formation consists of 28 large floating islands inside and 365 small observation platforms outside.

The observation platform was like a network of dots, connected by purple light fog. Cheng Xinzhan took out the pass token given by Master Dong from a distance and hit it on the light fog. A hole appeared in the formation. After the sword rainbow penetrated the formation, the formation automatically closed again.

The people on duty on the platform knew from the situation that a high-level Jindan cultivator had arrived.

The twenty-eight large floating islands inside are named after the twenty-eight constellations. The headquarters of Sanqing Mountain is Kuimu Island. These islands are arranged according to the star map. Cheng Xinzhan found Kuimu Island at a glance without any guidance.

There were many people on the island, and it was bustling with activity. As soon as Jianhong landed, someone noticed him.

"Master Yu, may I ask if you are from the sect or are you here to look for someone?"

An enthusiastic young Taoist priest came to greet them.

"Where are my eyes? Even Master Cheng doesn't recognize me!"

A Taoist priest nearby also saw it, walked up quickly, and even pulled the Taoist priest to salute. It seemed that he recognized Cheng Xinzhan.

Xinzhan smiled and returned the greeting to the two of them.

"Master Cheng, the island's cardinal is in the Sirius Palace, and the one who makes the decision is Master Zhao Wuji."

The Taoist priest who came later pointed Cheng Xinzhan in a direction. Cheng Xinzhan thanked him and went to the Tianlang Temple.

After Cheng Xinzhan left, the Taoist priest who didn't recognize him pointed at his back and asked, "Who is this?"

Another Taoist priest told him, "How come you don't know this person and have never heard of Cheng Nandou?"

"Oh! It's him! The one who occupies three of the four Nan Dou rankings? And the one who tops the Li Ting ranking?"

The Taoist priest who explained it to him nodded and said, "Before the Haoran League was established, I heard that Master Cheng was preparing to form a golden elixir. Now that he has come out of the mountains to the league and turned into a rainbow, he must have succeeded in forming a golden elixir. A golden elixir in his thirties must have been on the Golden elixir list. Now that his name is on all four Nandou lists, the name Cheng Nandou is truly worthy of it."

The other person listened and nodded with a look of longing, "A golden elixir in his thirties? I only opened up two palaces at the age of twenty-six. When will I be able to achieve the golden elixir?"

----

Cheng Xinzhan arrived at the entrance of the Sirius Hall. There was a guard at the entrance. When he saw the guard, his eyes lit up and he walked forward quickly.

"Brother Jiyuan!"

He Jiyuan didn't expect to see Cheng Xinzhan here. He was delighted and stepped forward to greet him. At the same time, he seemed to remember something, slowed down his pace, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"I should call you Master Yu. Now, no matter in terms of seniority, realm, or reputation, I am far inferior to you. It is inappropriate for you to call me Brother Dao anymore."

Cheng Xinzhan could tell at a glance that He Jiyuan had all the five elements, and his chest and abdomen were full of blood and qi. This was a sign that Qi Wufu had achieved the Pijiang Palace. This Taoist brother who walked slower had finally entered the second realm. He was about to congratulate him, but suddenly heard He Jiyuan say this, and his face changed.
"Brother Dao, are you going to keep me at a distance and treat me like a stranger?"

He Jiyuan waved his hands repeatedly and said in panic, "No, no, what do you mean?"

Cheng Xinzhan said seriously, "If we are not familiar with each other and have never met, you can call me Master Yu or Taoist Master as you like, but we are sleeping together! It was you who taught Xinzhan how to practice, and it was you who paid for the first meal of flour Xinzhan ate in the sect. The first magic weapon Xinzhan got in the sect was the crane lantern given by you. Now when we meet, I still call you Taoist Brother, but you have to call me Master Yu. How come our friendship changes with the change of cultivation level?"

He Jiyuan was speechless, with a guilty look on his face. He turned his back and lowered his head, "Well, that's my fault."

Afterwards, he adjusted his expression, as if wiping away tears, and then turned around and raised his head, looking at Cheng Xinzhan with a smile on his face.

"Xinzhan, congratulations! You have completed the golden elixir. This means you have truly embarked on the path to immortality."

Cheng Xinzhan replied, "Thank you, Brother Daoist. Brother Daoist, do you still remember the bold words you said to me when you opened the palace? The great way is right under our feet. If immortality is the goal, then there is no essential difference between walking faster and slower. Moreover, Brother Daoist has accumulated a lot of experience, and by then, all the orifices will be opened up, and the elixir will be formed in one go. Perhaps you will walk more steadily than Xinzhan."

He Jiyuan was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Xinzhan is here to see the Palace Master, right? The Palace Master is inside, you go and do your business first, we will meet again in the evening, Jihu and Miaoshu are all here."

Cheng Xinzhan was overjoyed and said yes with a smile.

When he entered the hall, he saw the owner of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Wuji, whom he was very familiar with. He behaved as a disciple and called him Master Zhao.

Zhao Wuji was very happy to see him, and he was even happier to hear his conversation with Jiyuan.
"Back then, you came to Yingyuan Mansion to learn thunder magic in order to resolve the true evil acupuncture points. That was when we first became friends. Over the years, I have made no progress, but you have already formed a pill."

Cheng Xinzhan was embarrassed after hearing this, "Master Zhao, please don't make fun of your disciple. I heard that you are about to undergo the Eighth Cleansing. Whether I am eating Qi or forming Dan, it makes no difference in front of you."

Zhao Wuji laughed loudly.

Cheng Xinzhan also wanted to make a joke about his master, so he said, "Master Zhao, before I came here, the headmaster told me that you are the first among the eight mountain masters, and he is waiting for you to transform into an infant. After all, the position of deputy master is still vacant."

Zao Wou-ki's laughter suddenly stopped. He put his hand on his forehead and sighed to the sky.

"The master wants to use us to death! Xinzhan, you have just formed your elixir, and you are not in seclusion in the mountains to consolidate your realm, but you are also driven here?"

Cheng Xinzhan smiled and shook his head, "I was not driven here, I came here because I wanted to."

"When will your first robbery come?"

"Fifty years later." "Oh, then your golden elixir can be said to be perfect and complete, and you really don't need to go into seclusion to stabilize it anymore."

Zhao Wuji was a master of thunder magic, so Cheng Xinzhan shamelessly took the opportunity to say, "Master Zhao, I want to come to the first calamity earlier. Do you have any secret method?"

Zhao Wuji naturally knew the importance of the first calamity, and also understood Cheng Xinzhan's meaning. After a moment's hesitation, he said,
"There is a method that, although it is not intended to attract disaster, actually has the effect of attracting disaster. It is a secret method of inducing thunder, used to temper and consolidate the golden elixir, to prevent the golden elixir from being shattered in the real elixir cleansing disaster. It is called the "Taiyi Hunyuan Dantai Leihuo Tempering Secret Method." "

However, Zhao Wuji did not tell Cheng Xinzhan that this method inherited from the ancient Thunder Department was one of the highest secret methods of Yingyuan Mansion and should not be taught lightly. At the same time, this was also the key to his golden elixir being able to survive the seven washes.

However, although Cheng Xinzhan was not the true descendant of Yingyuan Mansion, Zhao Wuji did not hide his love for Xinzhan. It was not only because Xinzhan was a person valued by the headmaster, and not only because of the friendship they had formed with Xinzhan while attending the class at Cardinal Hill, but because Zhao Wuji knew that this child was a person who knew how to give back.

After Cheng Xinzhan returned from the sea, he knew the significance of "Dragon Roar Water Thunder Gang" to the thunder cultivators, and he gave half of it to Shuji Mountain and handed it to Zhao Wuji. In addition, when he realized the "Tianshu" magical power - "Dragon Roar", he also went to Yingyuan Mansion to preach and taught this life-hiding magical power that was very suitable for performing dragon and thunder techniques to his fellow disciples.

In addition, the character this child has always shown - for example, what he said to Jiyuan at the door just now, made Zhao Wuji know that no matter what achievements this child makes in the future, he will not treat Yingyuan Mansion unfairly.

Zhao Wuji called Cheng Xinzhan forward and gave him this method with his magical power of enlightenment.

Cheng Xinzhan only took a cursory glance and saw that this secret method contained many ancient and obscure talismans, spells, and qigong methods. He knew that this was not a simple method and thanked him repeatedly.

"This secret method of washing the elixir is useful, but if you want to invite a calamity, it is only useful for the first calamity, and it will be useless for the rest. I want to make this clear to you first. Also, remember, this method is not to be passed on to anyone else!"

Zhao Wuji gave a warning.

Cheng Xinzhan naturally agreed. Once the master said this, no third person could know it, not even his future disciples. He had made such a vow when he was studying the scriptures in Juqu Mountain.

"Master Zhao, my sect asked me to come to the alliance to take orders. Do you have any instructions for me?"

Zhao Wuji had a lot of things to do. When he heard Cheng Xinzhan asking for his order, he thought about it and said,
"You should know the two major directions of the alliance: defend the north and attack the south. Which direction do you want to go?"

"South."

"There are two main tasks in the south. The first is to encroach on the waters around Sanshi Island and cut off the communication with the deep sea. The second is to enter the southern border and find out the changes in the southern border and the situation in the South China Sea after the green robe entered the five realms. Both are to kill the devil. Which one do you choose?"

"Um-"

Cheng Xinzhan pondered for a moment, then said, "Go to Southern Xinjiang."

Zhao Wuji nodded, handed him a command arrow, and said,

"Red Hair's eldest disciple Yao Kaijiang joined Green Robe, and his second disciple Hong Changbao fled with the remaining disciples of Hongmuling to the depths of Miao territory, resisting Baiman Mountain while looking for an opportunity to find a mountain to establish a religion and continue the Dharma lineage. Now the Qinglong Cave in Miao territory is more inclined towards Hongmuling. Although the Immortal Cave does not openly help Hongmuling, it is also merciless to the Baiman Mountain demons that invade the depths of Miao territory.

"So we believe that the Redwood Ridge sect has a great grudge against the Green Robe sect, and has deep roots in Miaojiang. If Hong Changbao can rebuild the sect, it will be helpful in curbing the development of the Southern Demon Sect. You go and help do this."

Cheng Xinzhan took the command arrow, saluted and said, "Disciple obeys your command."

"Don't be anxious. The alliance has files. Before you go, take a look at what the alliance has learned about the current situation in southern Xinjiang. Be prepared before you go. One or two days is not a big deal. Don't go alone. We not only have fellow disciples in the mountains, but also allies from various factions in the mountains. Gather some people to go with you."

Zao Wou-Ki said meaningfully.

Thinking of what was said at the gate of Cuntian Palace three years ago, Cheng Xinzhan naturally understood what Zhao Wuji meant. He nodded in agreement and bowed to take his leave.

After exiting the Heavenly Wolf Hall, Cheng Xinzhan was stunned when he saw the people outside.
In addition to He Jiyuan, there are Feng Jihu, Pu Jixuan, Zeng Jinian, Sun Miaoshu, Huang Miaoluo and Fang Weimin here.

“You’re all here!”

Cheng Xinzhan laughed.

"Greetings to Master Jindan Yu!"

All seven of them saluted.

However, except for Fang Weimin, there was no respect on the faces of these people, and they were all making faces.

"Okay, come and entertain me, then I'll show you how powerful the golden elixir is!"

Cheng Xinzhan made some gestures and the people and beasts scattered.

----

At the southeast foot of Ziwei Mountain, there is a teahouse and market. Although the entire Ziwei Mountain headquarters was built not long ago, as long as more people come, teahouses and markets will soon follow.

A group of people sat down in one of the teahouses.

"Not only us, except for (Xiao) Miaoyu who is in seclusion to make elixirs, everyone is here. (Zhu) Jianmo and (Zhu) Heyou are now on Kuimu Island, but they are refining puppets and making elixirs and can't get away. (Xu) Jishen, (Yu) Miaoyin, and (Zheng) Miaoji received the order and are outside and haven't come back yet."

Feng Jihu said to Cheng Xinzhan.

"Why are you all here?"

"Of course I have to come. It is our duty to exorcise demons and monsters. Moreover, the reward for receiving the order here is much higher than taking an errand in the sect."

Huang Miaoluo replied with a smile.

Cheng Xinzhan nodded, and then asked about everyone's practice.

Fang Weimin had also already formed a golden elixir. This Taoist and another Taoist, Zheng Miaoji, had been chasing each other for many years, but Fang Weimin was one step ahead.

Zeng Jinian, Sun Miaoshu, Huang Miaoluo and Feng Jihu each got a chance to plow the court with their true evil spirits. Pu Jixuan's way of cultivation was more in line with the Tiangang in the sect, and he almost used up all his accumulated points to exchange for a "Heavy Cloud Covering Tiangang" from the sect. He was the only one among them who used the spiritual energy to plow the court.

He Jiyuan was still searching for the Gang and the Sha, but had no clue. He came to the Haoran League in the hope of finding an opportunity.

Cheng Xinzhan decided to wait a few more years and see. If He Jiyuan still couldn't find the Gangsha, he decided to give some of the "Dragon Roar Water Thunder Gang" to this Taoist brother with whom he had a special friendship. At present, he still had more than two taels in his hand, which would be enough for plowing the house if everything went well. But there was no need to give it now. First, He Jiyuan would definitely not accept it. Second, there were too many fellow disciples who needed the Gangsha. If he only gave one or two taels to comprehend the meaning of the law, it would be fine, just like he gave it to the Jiang family in Poyang Lake. But if he gave one or two taels at once, it would be unfair.

As for the other acquaintances, Xiao Miaoyu was in seclusion in the sect to form the elixir, Zhu Jianmo, Xu Jishen and Yu Miaoyin had already plowed the courtyard, Zhu He Yong and Zheng Miaoji had also plowed the courtyard, and both had Gangsha, but they were probably not very satisfied, and were still hesitating about forming the elixir, and were still looking for new Gangsha.

"Everyone, I received a command from Master Zhao and I am going to Southern Xinjiang. Is there anyone willing to go with me?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked.
