Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 137 Turning into Rain
After returning to the mountain, Xu Xuan headed straight for Dongmi.

His body turned into a flash of lightning and appeared in the clouds. A ball of black fire rushed up. A scarred man stood next to Xu Xuan, and the air around him suddenly became hot.

"Is it any wonder you found the bear?"

Xu Xuan spoke in a low voice and looked at Liang Yong beside him. Now Dongmi is guarded by this man, guarding against the barbarians.

"I haven't found it yet, but a famous sorcerer came here, saying that he was ordered by Chi Yan to see you, the leader."

"Oh? I should go check it out."

Xu Xuan's mind moved. Xiong Youqi's Taoist name was [Chi Yan]. Now he asked Na Luohe to repel him, and the Chixin Mountain where he practiced was occupied. He was nowhere to be found, and he even sent people here.

The two of them quickly flew down on the wind. Liang Yong led Xu Xuan to the outside of the Shouqing Camp. A barbarian was waiting there. Upon seeing the two foundation builders descend from the sky, he immediately knelt down and saluted with trepidation, repeatedly saying:

"I am Zhao Que, and I am honored to meet the two great kings!"

The other party's words were extremely awkward, making people feel uncomfortable. Liang Yong laughed, pointed at Xu Xuan, and said loudly:

"Boy, this is the king, I am..."

He seemed to be trying to find a suitable name, but after thinking hard, he couldn't find one. Xu Xuan beside him smiled slightly and reminded him softly:
"general."

Liang Yong slapped his head, and wisps of black fire shot out from his ears and nose, with a strong smell of nitrate. He laughed and said:
"Yes, General, I am the number one general under this great king. Do you understand?"

The bird below was startled by Liang Yong's behavior, his voice trembled, and the tattoo on his face twitched. He said:

"I understand. I have met the king and the general."

Xu Xuan took a step forward, blew softly, and used the [Heavenly Drum] technique slightly to shock the mind. The barbarians below suddenly changed their expressions and became extremely frightened.

"You said you came here on the orders of Chi Yan. Do you have any proof?"

"A little bit, yes, the king gave it to me."

As he spoke, the barbarian took out a piece of animal skin from his arms. Inside the skin was a small gray-white tail with scaly scales. It was exactly the tail of the eaves snake on Xiong Youqi's shoulder. Xu Xuan could naturally distinguish its aura.

"King Chiyan also said that he and you had a fight in this place before. I wonder if you remember it?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xuan was certain that this summon bird must have been sent by Xiong Youqi, and immediately asked:
"What's the matter with him asking you to come?"

The caller below hurriedly replied:
"King Chiyan said that the Luohe witch was ferocious and he was unable to defeat him. He did not want to fight and went to the Dali Kingdom."

"If you are interested in the area around Chixin Mountain, you can take it. He will give it to you."

Xu Xuan was amused. This Xiong Youqi could talk, but Liang Yong on the side directly scolded:

"What the hell? He lost his territory and ran away in disgrace. The mountain now belongs to Luo He. His gift is worthless."

Zhao Que below heard this, and the tattoo on his face twitched, but he didn't dare to reply.

"What else did he say? Did he mention the state of the Nara River?"

This is exactly what Xu Xuan is concerned about now. He only knows that Luo He is practicing "poison" and is in the late stage of foundation building, but he is completely clueless about the rest of the situation.

The summoning bird below did not dare to neglect and replied hurriedly:
"This Luohe witch once received guidance from the Sky Poison Mountain and is proficient in refining Gu. He also has a golden silkworm that is comparable to the middle stage of foundation building. It is quite extraordinary."

"King Chi Yan said that Luo He originally occupied a sacred mountain in the core, but was repelled by a Yuanci sacred mountain and was seriously injured, so he retreated to the edge."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan immediately understood that it was Zhu Yucheng who took action. No wonder Luo He, who was in the late stage of foundation building, retreated to the edge.

Liang Yong, who was standing aside, was a little excited. He looked at Xu Xuan and said:
"Master, what are you waiting for? Take advantage of his illness to kill him. His subordinates are also unruly and often come to harass us. It will be bad when he recovers from his injuries."

Xu Xuan felt the same way and said:
"We need to seize the opportunity and take action as soon as possible. Dongmi is close to this area and must be taken."

Xu Xuan's voice was firm. The most important thing was the [Pond of Poisonous Fire]. If it was still there, it had to be taken. As for entering Wuhuang later, going from the Dongmi direction would allow them to return to the mountain gate faster for support.

'Luo River.'

Xu Xuan repeated the name silently, determined to capture this witch.

Not far away, a man suddenly descended on a cloud of sand. It was Xu Fayan, who hurried over, saluted, and then said:
"Master, there's news from the sect that Master Fan is about to break through. Something's not right. Please go back and take a look."

Xu Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this. This was not good news. He immediately said goodbye to Liang Yong and left on a thunderbolt.

Liang Yong scratched his head, asked the barbarians below to leave, and turned to look at the thin young man in front of him with yellow eyes and narrow eyebrows.

"Boy, you're going to kill someone."

After hearing this, Xu Fayan understood what Protector Liang meant. He looked in the direction of Wu Huang with a burning look in his eyes.

Liang Yong, who was standing aside, was quietly watching the person in front of him. He came from the north and had never seen such a well-rounded cultivator. He was proficient in almost all kinds of magic, talismans, and poison refining, which was very rare.

However, this man was a silent and sinister person, and Liang Yong did not like him very much. If Liu Xingfang were here, he could still talk about women, but now with Xu Fayan, there was nothing much to talk about. Turning and leaving, he walked towards the Shouqing Camp, leaving him alone here.
-
On the outskirts of Luoqing, there is a cave where Fan Qingzhu is in seclusion.

Heavy clouds gathered in the sky, and a warm rain mingled with the color of blood began to fall. Green bamboos grew wildly all around, and mountain flowers bloomed, but withered in an instant.

Many birds and animals come here, including foxes, hares, elks, larks, etc., making constant noises, and many of them are in the state of mating, even with different species mating.

Fan Huayan was wearing a misty skirt. She was now at the fourth level of Qi Refining. She had a worried look on her face. A red-feathered crane was quietly waiting beside her. It was [Liao Zai]. Liu Xiaowen left and asked her to take care of the fire spirit.

This crane has now reached the second level of Qi Refining, and its life is connected to Liu Xiaowen's, like a soul jade. It suddenly became weak earlier, which made everyone in the mountain gate panic, but fortunately it has recovered now.

Fan Huayan's originally pretty face was filled with worry as she gently stroked the crane's feathers, while Liao Zai leaned in very intimately.

"Master."

Fan Huayan looked at the strange phenomena around him. Clear white water seemed to be overflowing from the cave through the formation, and there were faint fluctuations of the immortal base. Logically, Fan Qingzhu should have come out of retreat at this time, but after a few days, the strange phenomena around him became more and more fierce, and the aura in the cave gradually weakened.

She has asked someone to invite Senior Xu here, hoping that he can help.

A flash of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, and a Taoist priest in a dark black robe and carrying a sword came down. It was Xu Xuan. At this moment, his face was solemn as he looked towards the cave.

Fan Huayan, who was standing by, saluted and then asked:
"Senior, my master is about to break through, and I'm afraid something has happened. His immortal foundation is unstable, but he doesn't dare to break the formation. I don't know what to do."

Xu Xuan looked around and saw something was wrong, so he asked:
"Master Fan never told me in detail about the technique she practices. I wonder who the immortal is, and how magical and effective it is?"

Fan Huayan did not dare to delay and said:
"My master practices the 'Yuji Pudu Fa' (Yuji Pudu Fa) passed down from the Changyun Sect, the third-grade 'Water Transformation' technique. The immortal foundation he cultivated is called the 'Compassion Bottle', which heals injuries, wards off evil, and also helps with the growth of offspring."

"This immortal base likes to contain, hide, and avoid the three essences. It fears evil and avoids the truth. It cannot see Geng and Xin, and cannot meet Bing and Ding."

"Although this technique is of low quality, it is still considered a legitimate technique. Cultivating it to become an immortal should be a sign of good fortune, but now..."

Xu Xuan pondered for a moment, looking at the warm rain around him mixed with blood, and roughly understood the reason. This immortality is basically the Taoist tradition of birth and gestation, but Fan Huayan took a blood pill. Even though it helped her to condense the foundation of immortality, it contained some bloody and dead air, which conflicted with this tradition.

He flipped his hand and took out a white jade-like gem, which was the water-transforming bead. Then he exhaled a breath of Taoist fire and slowly began to refine it. The warm Taoist light gradually enveloped the surroundings, refining away all the blood in the clouds and rain.

The strange phenomena around him gradually returned to normal. Xu Xuan sighed, bent his fingers, and a sword energy broke the gem. A warm liquid like jade flowed out, and Xu Xuan led it into the cave.

Immediately, the beasts around dispersed, and the immortal foundation in the cave gradually stabilized. Xu Xuan looked at the jade juice and recognized what it was. It was [Qionghua Jade Water], a foundation-building water.

Only a pearl shell was left. Xu Xuan's sword energy surged out, grinding it into pieces and leading it into the cave. The aura in it became stronger, and the fluctuations of the immortal foundation gradually stabilized.

"Thank you, senior."

Seeing that his master was finally fine, Fan Huayan immediately thanked Xu Xuan with an excited look on his face.

After a while, the formation opened, and a woman walked out of it. She was pale and there was a clear white warm current swirling around her.

"Master!"

Fan Huayan hurried forward and helped Fan Qingzhu up, with a worried look on her face.

"Hua Yan, I'm fine."

After saying this, Fan Qingzhu looked at Xu Xuan, her beautiful eyes moving, almost sticking to Xu Xuan, she said softly:

"Thank you, Master Xu, for taking such a precious spiritual object. Qingzhu has no way to repay you."

"You are too polite, Mr. Fan. Our sect will soon be attacking Wuhuang. You should consolidate your cultivation as soon as possible. We will need your help then."

Xu Xuan said this very quickly. After he finished speaking, he turned into a flash of lightning and flew away. Only a loud bang was heard from the sky.

Fan Qingzhu's beautiful eyes moved slightly, with a look of unwillingness on her face, but she quickly concealed it and turned to look at her own disciples.

"Hua Yan, I have already achieved immortality, but I owe more and more to other sects, and I don't know how to repay them."

There was some sadness in her voice. Fan Huayan beside her agreed. They both had the heavy responsibility of restoring Changyunmen on their shoulders and would have to leave one day.

Fan Huayan spoke in a low, firm voice, saying:
"Just watch and contribute to the sect. Master has achieved the foundation. Although the [Compassion Bottle] is not good at fighting, it also has its own magic."

Fan Qingzhu was already feeling much better at this point, his complexion gradually becoming rosy, and he sighed:

"Although it was Sect Leader Xu who invited us to stay, he hasn't given us much encouragement over the years. He only helped us when we attacked the Buddhist temple."

"Liang Yong is very famous. He is good at fighting and Sect Leader Xu relies on him a lot. But I..."

Fan Huayan stood aside, speaking in a low voice, as if to comfort his master, saying:
"My [Transformation Girl] will soon be healed, and then she can help Master with his worries."

Fan Qingzhu raised his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the fire crane beside him, as if thinking about something.
