Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 215 Sword Sect
Caiyun Peak, Mingsi Hall.

Two people sat quietly beside the white jade table, the pine incense burned slowly, and the bright sunlight shone obliquely into the hall.

"I can already break through the ninth level and condense my sexual roots. I will be able to build my foundation in two years at most." Wen Sian was brewing spiritual tea. White mist rose up, covering her face. She moved gently, slowly brewed a cup, and handed it to the person in front of her.

Xu Xuan's eyes lit up with joy, but he pondered again. "I'm afraid I still need to consider the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill." With this in mind, Xu Xuan took out the recipe for the Abyssal Blood Pill and placed it on the table.

"The immortal foundation and spiritual objects blend into one, shaping the inner scene, creating mysterious phenomena, and condensing life. When refining, one should use it."

Wen Sian looked at the recipe and said softly:
"I feel confident that I can achieve a breakthrough without taking any pills."

"The 'Auspicious Water Omen' created by the 'Shangyang Hearing Rain Method' is a sign of joyful rain, while the 'Dance to Pray for Rain' represents the duties of a rain master. It features the images of cloud bells and wind drums, and a blue bird dreaming of rain. If accomplished, one can sense wind and rain, from gentle rain to heavy downpours, all in a single thought. Furthermore, dreams can predict the future, a truly miraculous feat."

She turned around gently, and the jade-white dragon-snake body slowly stretched out from under the table, hooked the jade cup with the tip of its tail, and took a sip.

Xu Xuan looked at Wen Sian's current dragon and snake half body with a strange expression. At first glance, he really looked like a monster.

"Is it possible to change back now?"

"Not yet. This half of my body has many magical powers that need to be restrained one by one before I can return to my human form. I'm afraid I have to wait until I break through the ninth level."

Wen Sian looked at the white scales on half of the body and touched it gently. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but the magic within this body quickly diluted this feeling.

Now her cultivation speed is almost twice as fast as before. In her sea of ​​qi, the yin and yang are balanced, and she can absorb all kinds of spiritual energy and refine it with the greatest efficiency. Even when she was in seclusion in Tianli Mountain, her cultivation speed was so fast that it seemed as if she was practicing thunder magic.

This Dharma body is endowed with all kinds of innate magical powers. Wen Sian feels that if he does not practice magic and just focuses on cultivating this body, he can achieve great success.

"You unlocked this bloodline so early. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

Xu Xuan's eyes were focused. He could sense the magic contained in this half-body of the dragon and snake, which was far better than what Qiong He had revealed in the past. Wen Sian's bloodline had been purified by the seal characters, and it was probably no less powerful than that of the ancient ancestors.

"I don't want to retreat from everything. Now that I have unsealed this blood, and I have established my foundation, if I can serve the sect for ten years, that would be more than enough." She turned to look at Xu Xuan, handed him the spiritual tea, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think about the matter of supernatural powers?"

Wen Sian's eyes were calm, but he tightly gripped the white porcelain teacup on the table, revealing his uneasy mood.

"To achieve supernatural powers, there are roughly three things you need to prepare." Xu Xuan naturally understood what he meant. He fanned the tea gently, a hint of worry in his eyes, and sighed softly, "I've been reading the Taoist Canon in recent years, and I understand some of the key points."

He placed his hand on the white jade table, and the tea in the cup swayed slightly.

"First, we need a technique. There are many foundation-building techniques out there, but the Purple Palace level one cannot be traded or robbed. Most of them are privately kept by immortals or left behind in caves. You all would like more foundation-building techniques to motivate yourself, but you don't want a Purple Palace to suddenly appear out of nowhere."

Xu Xuan naturally understood this principle. No matter how many people had built their foundation, it would only take a thought for Zifu to kill them. Naturally, he would not be on guard. Instead, he would rather have more independent cultivators build their foundation to drive them forward, but he would block their path to achieving supernatural powers.

"Secondly, you need resources. It would be best if you have a Purple Mansion spiritual object from the same path as you. Some even require compatible imagery, but this isn't essential. It just helps speed up the process of initiating the Immortal Foundation and connecting to the Great Luo."

"Three is the cave dwelling. To achieve enlightenment, one must remain in seclusion for a period of at least ten years, or as long as thirty. During this period, the foundation of one's immortality is undergoing transformation, and one's life depends on the vastness of the universe. If disturbed, one will die and their spiritual power will be destroyed."

Wen Sian frowned and whispered:
"The Zhenyao Questioning Spirit Method was brought from the North Sea. It contains magical powers, comparable to the fourth-grade. However, the North Sea is outside the Liao Kingdom, so it is not easy to go there. Now the thunder is not visible, and spiritual objects are hard to find."

"What we can prepare for now is the retreat. In your opinion, should we retreat in the mountains or find another place?"

"I'm afraid the only way is to retreat into seclusion in the mountains."

Xu Xuan was clear-headed and sighed lightly. All the Purple Mansions were paying attention to this place. A person who had cultivated the sword intent and established his foundation was still within the controllable range, but if he achieved the Purple Mansion, then it would be really out of control. If he retreated outside, he would probably die inexplicably, so he could only stay in the mountain gate.

Even if he used the ancient stele to cover up and Tiantuo cast a spell to escape from the spies of the many Purple Mansions, it would be difficult to clear the suspicion on him, not to mention the existence of the Fuchen Sect, whose attitude is still unclear.

But given Xu Xuan's personality, he would naturally keep this hatred in his heart all the time, and there was almost no possibility of reconciliation.

"I'm afraid I'm still alive now, just to enter that battlefield and shake [Kun Weitian]. "

The two were silent for a while. Without the guarantee of Zifu, it would be difficult to break through. Xu Xuan wanted to let his dragon body become a supernatural power first and then find a way out, but the situation in the South China Sea was not peaceful either.

Moreover, as he practiced, Xu Xuan had some realizations that perhaps breaking through on both sides at the same time was the right way. This almost eliminated his idea of using the dragon's body as a weapon, and only provided him with an additional way to retreat.

"I will practice first, and when I break through to the late stage, no one will be able to stop me in the foundation-building stage."

"I'm afraid that in a few years, the Zhu family will make a move. I wonder what ambitions Senior Yucheng has."

"It won't be anything good."

Xu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was filled with a hint of deep fear.

"I've met him several times. He has big plans. As he said at the Chen family's birthday party, his hatred and grudges are long-lasting. He usually presents himself as a tyrant, but in reality, he has no interest in spiritual lands or resources."

"I've sent people to spy on him over the years, and he's not particularly interested in clan affairs. He even rarely sees his own children. And yet, he's quite obsessed with unifying the Plains. I'm afraid he has deeper plans."

"You said, is it to break through the Purple Palace?"

Wen Sian lowered his voice and asked about this matter with some worry.

"Perhaps, ordinary people say that he has cultivated two immortal foundations and it is difficult to break through, but there may be some methods." Xu Xuan frowned. He naturally didn't believe it before, but now his own immortal foundation is two sides of the same coin, which can be divided into two. If Zhu Yucheng has some secret method, he may really be able to succeed.

'Which Purple Mansion will protect him?'

Xu Xuan fell into silent contemplation. The Liu family was related to the Chi Lei Dao, the Duan family was to Dingji Mountain, and the Kong Jian Sect was chosen by Master Wan Jin. It had not yet been revealed which sect the Zhu family was connected to, which was worrying.

"It's useless to think about these things now. I will achieve the sword intent and wait until I reach the late stage of breakthrough. If he wants to make a move, I will not be afraid. I will just wait and see what happens."

Xu Xuan stood up and gave Wen Si'an some instructions. They both tacitly agreed not to talk about the seal script.

Xu Xuan had already told Wen Sian the general situation through the clear air, including how many people had received the seal script and what its function was. As for the origin of the seal script, he only said that it was the legacy of the ancestors.

Yufeng went all the way to Tianqing Peak, where he saw two people waiting there early. One was a man in green clothes, and behind him stood a strong man in golden armor. When the two men saw the leader returning, they saluted together. They were Liu Xingfang and Qi Zhengyi.

At this time, Qi Zhengyi had already broken through the Qi Refining stage, but his aura had not yet been completely restrained. A golden lightning flashed on his body. When Xu Xuan saw this, he remembered something. He still had an idle foundation-building divine lightning on his body, which was the [Burning Evil Light].

Dan Ting refined three lightning bolts, including one auspicious bird lightning bolt. There were still four bolts left from the self-seeded Lei Yuan. The Yang Sha Gang Thunder, Yin Hun Mining Thunder and Zheng Yin Ming Thunder were already hidden in the Qi Sea. Whether it was controlled by Zelong or hidden in the Jie Chi, these three were enough.

As for the remaining [Burning Evil Light], it is of no use at the moment. Perhaps I can find an opportunity to give it to Qi Zhengyi.

"Master, Zhengyi has already broken through to the Qi Refining stage. A while ago, there was a massive thunderstorm. He practiced his spear skills amidst the thunder and gained a profound understanding of the spear's power."

Liu Xingfang spoke in a respectful voice. Logically speaking, he didn't need to personally lead Qi Zhengyi to convey this matter. It was obvious that he wanted to help this junior fellow apprentice.

Xu Xuan understood that the two of them had a good relationship, which was a good thing. There were some things he was not convenient to say more about, so he could ask Xingfang to convey them on his behalf.

Now Qi Zhengyi, Zhang Yiwan and Wang Chengyan's cultivation was too low, so Xu Xuan had not yet told them all about the seal script. He only hinted that it was an opportunity left by the ancestors, and asked these people to interact more and wait until their cultivation was higher before discussing it.

Qi Zhengyi was a straightforward person and didn't think much about it. Zhang Yiwan was a loner and had been in seclusion on Ruixue Peak these days. As for Chengyan, he was now sticking with Wen Guang day and night, and his weapon-refining skills were improving rapidly with the help of seal characters.

"Alright, since most of our disciples practice swordsmanship, it would be great if someone could practice spearmanship to add some other aura. Zhengyi, where did you learn this spearmanship?"

Xu Xuan looked at the other party. Qi Zhengyi was extremely tall, like an iron tower. Previously, Senior Brother Xi Wei was the tallest in the sect, but now, Qi Zhengyi was even a head taller than Wang Xiwei.

"Reporting to the headmaster, this is a set of 'Pojun Spear Technique' passed down in my family. It is just a common fighting technique, but it is practical since it was used in a military formation."

Qi Zhengyi's voice was rough, but Xu Xuan was very sensitive to the word "military formation" and turned to look at the other party.

"So, the Qi family's ancestors also served in the army?"

Qi Zhengyi showed some confusion on his face, and said:
"My family tree only goes back six generations, and they were all ordinary people. However, when I was young, I heard the elders in my family say that my family's surname was not Qi. It was because the previous dynasty collapsed that they changed their name to commemorate the past."

Xu Xuan's heart sank. The previous dynasty was the Great Qi. Now that he was using the dragon's body, he had also glimpsed many secrets.

The current True Lord Lihuo was originally a general in the Great Qi Dynasty. He took advantage of the Qi-Liao War to ascend to the throne, committed treason and established the imperial dynasty.

This matter was not very glorious, so it was not recorded in writing. According to the memory of ordinary people, this founding emperor had already passed away and was called Taizu. It turned out that Qi Zhengyi's family surname came from this, which made Xu Xuan feel a little worried.

"Sure enough, there's something strange about Shouzhuan."

"Since you are refining Qi, your magical weapon must be good. Let Houhuotang refine a weapon that suits you. Go ahead."

Xu Xuan smiled. His sect now occupied both sides of the Li River and had taken over the Lotus Temple. Every year, they produced a huge amount of spiritual objects. Even making a few foundation-building instruments would be an easy task.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhengyi smiled heartily, thanked the leader, and bowed to Liu Xingfang before leaving on the whirlwind.

"He's a rough but delicate person."

Xu Xuan looked at Liu Xingfang, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he sensed something.

"You broke through?"

Liu Xingfang's handsome face showed some smiles, and he said:

"I wanted to tell Master first, but I got delayed."

His aura revealed that he had already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. At the same time, he held the magic sword, and the silver-white sword energy was vigorous and sharp.

"it is good!"

Xu Xuan showed genuine joy on his face. Xingfang had achieved sword energy and was now considered a skilled practitioner in the Qi Refining realm. As long as he didn't encounter a cultivator of the ninth level, he would have few rivals.

The two were about to discuss this matter when shouts were heard outside the mountain gate, and an extremely sharp aura was faintly heard from outside.

"Is the Great Red Abbess here? The Taiping Sword Sect invites you."
