Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 272 Qi Lin
Liu family.

The basement was dim, and the two walked out along the path. Before leaving, Xu Xuan took another look at the eerie willow tree and the words on the four walls, and silently took note of them.

After going out, the two were silent for a while, not knowing where to start. They only talked about some things about the Wu family's trade. Xu Xuan didn't want to stay any longer, so he asked for leave. Only Liu Qiuci and Qing Yun, a man and a demon, were left in the hall.

Gusts of cold wind seemed to be coming out from the ground. Liu Qiuci's face was a little pale. He called out and saw a young man in a white robe walking in. He had a somewhat literary air. It was Liu Baiyuan.

"Is there any news from the Duan family?"

Liu Qiuci was breathing slowly. Qingyun came forward, took his hand, and helped him breathe slowly. His face looked a little better, but then it turned pale again.

Liu Baiyuan lowered his eyebrows, his voice trembling, as if he was worried about his father, and said softly:

"The Duan family's Patriarch is out of sight, and Duan Pingdu is now in charge. He's been vague and hasn't made any firm decisions about how to deal with the Zhu family."

Liu Qiuci, who was sitting on the table, frowned slightly, sighed, and said in a deep voice:
"Since the Duan family is unwilling, then there is no need to ask any further. It will be fruitless. His family relies on Dingji Mountain and is now allied with Dachi to deal with the Zhu family."

"Has Zhu Yucheng made any appearances recently?"

After thinking for a while, Liu Qiuci still asked this question. After all, the power of the Zhu family depends on one person. As long as Zhu Yucheng does not fall and the Chen family does not intervene, they will be the number one family in the prairie.

"I only heard that he met that Taoist from Dihuang. It seems that the two of them had fought each other. The fight was so intense that Pinghu was turbulent. No one dared to watch. Later, they formed an alliance, but even when they attacked Yuliu, he did not show up."

After Liu Baiyuan finished speaking, he and his father looked at Qing Yun at the same time. As the core descendant of Yuliu Demon Mountain, this green snake should know something about this matter.

Qing Yun always had a mean smile on her face, her lips pursed like a knife blade, but her eyes were full of ambiguity, looking at the man in blue beside her, yet not quite close.

"You want to know?"

Her voice was low and filled with a certain fiery intensity, as if she wanted to eat the other person alive.

Liu Baiyuan below was very tactful and retreated at this time, but waited until the other party was far away. Qing Yun's expression became serious again, and his triangular pupils stared at Liu Qiuci with a bit of sarcasm.

"Zhu Yucheng, entered the Baiqing Cave."

Qingyun's voice was soft, like a warm breeze, but Liu Qiuci felt a chill down his spine. Zhu's actions made him unsure of what that person meant.

"My Lord, you don't want to see me. I rarely hear news from the mountains. I only learned this by asking a sister. As for what Zhu Yucheng said, you can guess it yourself."

She laughed wildly, and when she turned around, she fell diagonally into Liu Qiuci's arms. Her pretty face showed a breathtaking beauty, but Liu Qiuci's face showed some helplessness.

"Chi Lei Dao, is there any news recently?"

He pondered for a while, and finally asked this question. After all, it involved his family's survival, so he had to care.

"Master Lingming has provoked Yin Leishan. The two families had a feud in the cave heaven, and now they are setting up their formations and competing secretly."

Qing Yun seemed to have no interest, raised his eyes and said:
"Chi Lei Dao is only in the early stage of Purple Mansion, and cannot compare with Yin Leishan, but due to the geographical advantage, he still has some advantages."

"If Master Lingming really withdraws and our clan loses its protection, are you willing to go to Yuliu with me?"

Liu Qiuci gently pushed her out of his arms, his voice deep.

"But I still have to change my name and give up my human body. I absolutely cannot agree to this. There is no need to discuss this further."

Qing Yun stood up, with a hint of coldness in his snake eyes, and said in a low voice:
"Yuliu doesn't tolerate humans. You practice wood-avoidance cultivation, so you already have the opportunity to transform into a wood spirit. You can abandon your family and just bring Bai Yuan with you to Yuliu."

"Even though you've worked so hard, there are still many people in the clan who don't appreciate your kindness."

Liu Qiuci understood who she was talking about. It was the small clan of Zhixu Mountain. Fortunately, Xingfang was a sensible person and did not get involved, otherwise it would have been a real headache.

"What they think is their business. I just want to be worthy of my ancestors and myself. Since they let me take on the position of clan leader, I will be responsible for the Liu family until my death."

His voice was solemn, and his face had an unshakable glow. Qing Yun felt a surge of anger rising in his heart, and he could only say in a low voice:

"Then are you worthy of me?"
-
Caiyun Peak.

Dark blue clouds were swirling over the peak, condensing but not dispersing. The wind was blowing hard. In front of the Mingsi Palace on the top of the peak, a woman in a green skirt stood quietly. Her face was serene and she was at the fifth level of Qi Refining. It was Zhang Gaoxia.

Next to her was a girl in a purple dress, who was a head taller than her, with a hint of anxiety between her eyebrows. Her cultivation had reached the third level of Qi Refining, but her appearance was not outstanding, and she could barely be called a beautiful girl from a small family. She was Jiang Zhoudu.

"Senior Sister, according to the notes left by Master, he should have come out of seclusion today. Why is there no movement now?"

Jiang Zhoudu's cultivation has improved rapidly over the years. He has gained more confidence and is no longer as timid as when he first went up the mountain. His behavior is like a young deer in the mountains, with a bit of natural aura.

"【Qilin Dance】I've heard my master talk about it. It's an ancient method. If it's accomplished, the phenomena are often intense, far more intense than what we've seen today. My guess is that there should be a storm." Zhang Gaoxia looked up at the sky. The area around Caiyun Peak was already covered by heavy dark clouds. The movement was even more intense than when Xu Xuan and Liang Yong broke through.

“I don’t know when the rain will fall.”

Jiang Zhoudu's eyes showed a hint of worry. He secretly glanced at his senior sister and saw that she looked calm and not anxious, which made him feel a little respect for her.

"As expected, it's Senior Sister Gaoxia. She's more patient than me. It's a pity that her cultivation is not long."

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhoudu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Senior Brother Qiyun was busy refining weapons and has now reached the sixth level. As for Chengyan, his cultivation speed is even more astonishingly fast, and he is now also at the third level.

Cheng Yan is much younger than her, but his progress in cultivation is even faster than hers. If he really needs to refine a weapon, he can even be much faster. As for the two senior brothers under the master's seat, they are almost ready to build their foundation. If they succeed, they will be worlds apart from those who have practiced Qi Refining.

Jiang Zhoudu practiced "Shang Yang Wen Yu Fa", which was similar to Wen Si'an, and could switch to practicing "Rain Master Book", but this fourth-grade ancient method was too obscure for her to comprehend and understand, and she was afraid that she could not practice "Pray for Rain Dance", so she had to practice "Auspicious Water Sign".

Now that she is old, she is no longer naive, and she can roughly see the situation of each peak in the sect. In terms of reputation, Senior Brother Xingfang is undoubtedly the most outstanding. In terms of cultivation, Senior Brother Fayan is even higher, and his fighting methods were also powerful.

Both of them hold important positions in the sect, one in charge of Luoqing and the other in charge of Dongmi. I wonder which one the sect leader will choose to succeed him in the future.

Jiang Zhoudu only dared to think about it in his heart. He would never dare to say such words. After all, there was still the most legitimate senior brother Xiao Wen who had not returned.

The dark blue clouds suddenly trembled, like waves surging, the wind was fierce, and raindrops fell. The mountain was hazy. Zhang Gaoxia shot out the Taoist light, which turned into a topaz-like cloud umbrella, covering the two of them.

This rain was extraordinary, containing spiritual energy. All the trees, flowers and plants on Caiyun Peak were shining in the wind and rain, and the spiritual energy of the green trees was surging. The two waited quietly until the wind stopped, the rain stopped, and the sky became clear.

The door of Mingsi Hall was wide open, and both of them had happy expressions on their faces, but they saw that the hall was empty and there was no one there.

'This is.'

Jiang Zhoudu hesitated. Why wasn't his master in the hall? Where had he gone? Zhang Gaoxia, standing beside him, remained calm and respectful.

"High gorge, boat crossing."

A gentle call sounded behind him. Zhang Gaoxia turned around, but saw only a person's shadow reflected in the water on the ground. Wen Sian looked at the two of them with a smile and stepped out of the water.

"Congratulations, Master, on achieving the Immortal Foundation."

Both girls had happy expressions on their faces. Seeing that their master was fine, they knew that she had succeeded.

"I never thought [Qilin Dance] was so magical, and could even use water to hide."

There was some longing in Zhang Gaoxia's eyes, and he sighed softly, it was indeed an ancient method, with many magical wonders.

Wen Sian had already changed into a dark green robe with cloud patterns and tied his hair with a white jade hairpin. His temperament became even more ethereal, like cold jade in a deep pool.

She waved her hand, and a dark green light flashed, and she led the two of them into the hall, and the three of them sat down.

"[Prayer for Rain Dance] is the image of the ancient Shangyang, a one-legged blue bird born in the North Sea, and the rain master from heaven. As for the technique of hiding the pool and spring, it is also the effect of this immortal foundation, but it cannot enter the living water."

Jiang Zhoudu was now silently speculating on the mysterious nature of the Auspicious Water Omen, while Zhang Gaoxia beside him murmured a response and asked:
"I wonder if the master has come out of retreat and notified the headmaster?"

Wen Sian's eyebrows turned, and he smiled softly:

"I've been told, he's on his way."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a thunder outside the hall, and silver lightning flashed on the ground. Xu Xuan had already stepped inside. Zhang Gaoxia and Jiang Zhoudu stood up and saluted. Xu Xuan waved his hand, with a smile on his face.

Wen Sian broke through to the foundation-building stage, which was a happy event. Xu Xuan was a little worried at the beginning because he had not found the foundation-building pill, but now he sees that there is nothing serious.

"After all, it is Fu Yi's blood. If it were in ancient times, relying solely on bloodline, one could have achieved a Purple Mansion level of cultivation. Although it is much worse now, it should still be easy to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Xu Xuan felt a little relieved. He had been worried about Wen Sian, and he felt relieved to see that she was fine.

There are now four foundation-building masters in the sect. After a careful count, Xu Xuan couldn't help but smile. Liang Yong and Kong Kong'er are both rare foundation-building fighters. They are divided into the left and right protectors and have made many contributions over the years.

Liang Yong's practice was so intense that he was the one who had to take action to break through the sect's attack and formation. As for Kong Kong'er, he was well versed in the mysterious and cunning techniques, and his assassination skills were extremely difficult to defend against. These two, one in the open and one in the dark, supported the foundation of the sect.

Now that Wen Sian has made a breakthrough, the sect can be considered to have truly become a first-class foundation-building force. [Pray for Rain] has many uses. Guishui and Xiaolei are the masters of the time and solar terms. Whether it is to create a cultivation environment or to help the growth of spiritual medicines, it is very useful.

At this time, Zhang Gaoxia pulled up the river boat to cross, said a few words in a low voice, and left first with his junior sister, leaving the two of them in the hall.

At the corner of the temple, a wisp of dark green cloud swirled up and dissipated in an instant.
