Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 22 Liu Family
At Tianqing Peak, more than ten days had passed, and Xu Xuan had already arranged everything regarding the spiritual fields.

Shi Yuanyu was, after all, the direct descendant of Huichun Mountain, and he pointed out many mistakes and omissions in the temple.

She practiced the third-grade [Yi Mu] technique, "The Record of the Hundred Flowers' Life".

This skill can determine the quality of flowers and plants, which is somewhat similar to the meaning of witchcraft. With the help of a genealogy book, the quality of magical herbs can be determined one by one, so that they can grow in time according to the solar terms, avoid diseases, and have full medicinal properties.

Changming's spiritual fields have been replanted with various spiritual medicines according to the properties of the soil. They are growing well and it seems that the harvest this year will be much better.

"After all, it's like building a temple in a snail shell."

As long as Dapan is not recaptured, the production of spiritual medicines will be limited. But compared with the spiritual land of Dapan and Dajingyuan, what is it?
His Dachi Temple had only produced one Wen Fufeng for three generations, and he died in a demonic disaster, leaving no legacy for the sect. It could not be compared with the original aristocratic families that had generations of people who had established foundations to rule.

He was able to reach this point now thanks to the eight-character ancient seal script, but it only allowed him to move forward a little in this extremely declining generation of Yuanshang.

Compared with his master and the previous generation, he is far behind.

Zhu Yucheng and Wen Fufeng are both known as Dao Seeds. Their cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building, and their skills and Taoism are not comparable to Xu Xuan's.

Even if he had established his foundation, Xu Xuan would probably not be able to last more than a few rounds against the head of the Zhu family.

If the other party really wants to unify Dajing, then Xu Xuan will have no choice but to bow down and stay in the Lotus Temple in Qingwei, not daring to have any second thoughts.

But he still had some hidden desire for the spiritual land of Dajingyuan. The families on the plain were able to raise people who had built their foundation from generation to generation, and they also took advantage of the spiritual land.

Luoqing is already the best sacred mountain in Qingwei, but compared with Dajingyuan, it pales in comparison.

Now that Xu Xuan has broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, Senior Brother Xi Wei has been in charge of the temple these days. He is thinking about going to Dajingyuan.

The first is to observe the situation on the plain, visit the Liu family, and discuss future plans.

The second is to go to the ghost market to see if there is any information related to the formation. With the [Earth Flame Noon Yuan Tree] in the sect, a lot of supplies can be saved, and some secret techniques can also be used to protect the sect.

Most of the Sutra Repository was destroyed in the demon disaster, and many of the secret techniques passed down by the Dachi Temple were either lost or incomplete, and now they need to be supplemented.

Qiyun has broken through to the Qi Refining stage, and Wen Sian will soon reach the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The only secret technique that can be used in fighting in the sect is the "Cong Ming Yi Qi Sword Art", but it is too difficult. Only Xu Xuan has mastered it and Wen Si'an has become a disciple.

Xu Xuan was about to leave Tianqing when he saw a light cloud floating from Caiyun Peak. It was Wen Si'an.

Changming has Shi Yuanyu with her. She wants to break through, so she returns to Luo Qing, where the spiritual energy is stronger. She doesn't know what she wants to see Xu Xuan for.

"But we're going to Dajingyuan?"

Wen Sian asked softly, walking down the mountain with Xu Xuan.

"Now I should go check out what's going on in the prairie, and also go to the ghost market to look for some secret techniques, otherwise there really won't be anything left to practice in the sect."

Wen Si'an gently smoothed her skirt, turned to look at Xu Xuan, and said softly:
"That's exactly what I wanted to discuss with you."

"I heard from Shi Yuanyu that Gao Xia has some talent for spiritual plants, so we should carefully plan her Qi training method."

Xu Xuan also felt a headache when he heard this.

Wen Sian looked at Xu Xuan with a bit of stubbornness in his eyes, and said softly:

"Shi Yuanyu helped me look at Gaoxia and said that I, as a disciple, have the talent to control the pivot and respond to the seasons, and to cultivate, nurture, store, and harvest. If I want to learn the art of spiritual planting in the future, it would be appropriate for me to cultivate the [Earth] and [Earth] paths."

"It's no problem for her to practice other techniques within the sect, but it would be a bit of a waste of her talent."

"Don't let her suffer now. Please help me find a suitable one so that she can learn more about spiritual plants in the future."

After saying that, Wen Sian handed a bag of spirit stones to Xu Xuan. These were the ones she had saved up over the years, in small pieces.

Xu Xuan wanted to refuse, but he couldn't persuade her, so he had to accept it and flew to Dajingyuan on a cloud.

"Gao Xia does have some talent for spiritual plants, but unfortunately, there is no such inheritance in the sect. Huichun Mountain only sent Shi Yuanyu here, similar to a tribute, so it is naturally impossible for him to leave the true teachings."

Talents, skills, spiritual objects and forces, these twists and turns were like a dense net that entangled Xu Xuan's heart, tightening little by little. He felt a long-lost sense of depression.

The last time this happened, he was still practicing the "Congming Yiqi Sword Art" with great effort, but he still couldn't comprehend the sword energy.

At that time, he would give up the magic sword in his hand and run to Juzhen Palace to find his master to vent his grievances.

Wen Fufeng would explain every detail to him and comfort him with a few words.

Who can I talk to about my troubles now?
Xu Xuan is already the tallest person in the temple. If the sky falls, he will be the one to hold it up.

Thunderclouds broke through the sky, and soon they reached the edge of Dajingyuan.

Xu Xuan took out a willow leaf-shaped jade pendant from his arms. He was a little tempted, not knowing whether to go to the ghost market first or to the Liu family first.

After the last Chen family birthday party, Liu Qiuci handed the jade pendant to Xu Xuan, saying that when he arrived at the prairie, he could use his magic power to activate it and the other party would be able to sense it.

Just as Xu Xuan was hesitating, the jade pendant began to emit light by itself. It seemed that Liu Qiuci had already known that he was coming.

At that moment, Xu Xuan rode the wind and rushed straight to the Liu family. He decided to talk about the ghost market later.

The Liu family's land is not very large, and it is located right below Huichun, facing it from a distance.

Just as Xu Xuan arrived outside the Liu family's formation, he landed and was about to pay his respects when he saw the formation open. A young man in green clothes and holding a feather fan emerged, this time seated in a green wooden wheelchair, pushed by a maid, his lower body covered with a layer of silk cloth.

"Master Xu is here, please come in and have a chat."

Liu Qiuci led Xu Xuan along the road and entered a garden. There were blue bricks and white tiles, lush green grass and trees, bluebirds singing, and white deer howling. It seemed extraordinary and exuded a sense of nobility.

Willows are swaying, and the light is bright and clear.

The two sat down in a pavilion surrounded by mountains and water. Next to them was a pond surrounded by white stones with the words "Luo Yu" carved on them.

The willow leaves fell into the pond with the wind and turned into green-scaled carps, swimming leisurely and contentedly. Occasionally, some of them jumped out of the water, then turned into willow leaves again and returned to the branches.

"A treasure tree of the foundation-building level, and its spirituality surpasses that of the Earth Flame Noon Yuan Tree I saw. "

Xu Xuan looked at the willow tree and sighed. Liu Qiuci, who was standing beside him, asked the maid to make tea. Seeing Xu Xuan's look, she smiled and said,

"This [Green Willow] was passed down from our ancestors. Generation after generation, our ancestors passed away under this willow tree. Gradually, it gained spirituality, but it hasn't become a spirit. It cannot be moved, and it can protect the family."

"Fellow Daoist Liu's family has a profound heritage, which is beyond the reach of my school."

Liu Qiuci did not comment, but waved his feather fan and asked:

"Fellow Daoist, you have broken through the sixth level of Qi Refining and asked for the [Life Source]."

"Exactly."

Xu Xuan looked over, and a purple-red lightning flashed in his pupils.

Liu Qiuci saw it, nodded, and said with a complicated expression:

"Your progress is fast, fellow Daoist, but the one from the Duan family should be ahead of you. The direct descendant of the Kongjian Sect also achieved a breakthrough recently."

"As for me, even though I've taken the blood-qi-transforming elixir, I'm still halfway through seeking the [Life Source], and it'll take some time to refine it."

After saying this, Liu Qiuci lifted the brocade cloth on his legs, revealing his legs. His lower body was surprisingly numb, and his toes looked like tangled roots.

"This is?"

Xu Xuan had never heard of such a strange change when asking for the [Life Book], and was a little surprised.

"My family cultivates the [Avoid Wood], and to obtain the [Life Source] one must absorb the Wood Spirit into the body."

"It's not harmful, but it will turn into wood when it first breaks through, which is a bit ugly. I want to refine it until I can store it internally, so it will take some time."

Liu Qiuci explained in detail, which made Xu Xuan feel a little funny. After all, this person is a person who values appearance.
"Did Fellow Daoist Xu also use blood energy to break through?"

Xu Xuan's expression changed slightly, but he still replied in a deep voice:

"That's right, there is a precious pill left in our sect that is made from blood and energy, which can increase your cultivation.

"After I took it and reached the fifth level of perfection, I was able to break through successfully."

Liu Qiuci didn't react much, but said:
"This blood energy is useful, and every family is using the blood pills from the Ghost Market. However, taking them will make it difficult to peer into the Purple Palace."

"But we, the group of people, don't have that fate either. There are just some accomplished younger generations in the sect, so we shouldn't let them get involved. As elders, we can just take on some responsibilities."

Xu Xuan had not expected Liu Qiuci to answer like this. He was a little confused. After thinking about it, he asked:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, what do you think of this blood energy?"

"How do you see it?"

Liu Qiuci had never thought that Xu Xuan would ask this question, but when he recalled Wen Fufeng's character, he understood Xu Xuan's mood and just said:
"You ask me what I think? Fellow Daoist Xu, what is our current level of cultivation?"

"It's just refining Qi, and seeking the [Origin of Life] at the beginning." Xu Xuan replied.

"That's right. This debate about blood and qi is not something we can dwell on."

Liu Qiuci seemed to be a little emotional, and just said:
"In this world, it's hard to do good. Most people just go along with the crowd and become corrupt, not actively doing evil."

"Let me consider these things, the heavenly—"

At this point, Liu Qiuci looked up at the sky, a little worried, and whispered:

"The chaos of the world began from the top. Don't think that the immortals don't eat, and the Purple Palace doesn't eat. They just eat in a clever and obscure way."

"If you are willing, you should protect the inheritance well. When you can ascend to heaven one day, you can talk sense to these people, right?"

Xu Xuan just sighed:

"An immortal values himself and can protect the inheritance of the mountain gate. I don't have the space to be aloof."

“I just hope that the next generation will have room to resist this bloodlust.”

Liu Qiuci's mood had somewhat declined. He ordered the maid to serve tea. After taking a few sips, he said seriously:
"I asked Fellow Daoist Xu to come here this time because I have something important to tell you."

"Do you still remember the spiritual spring that the Chen family fought over with Bai Qingdong?"
