Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Zhang Chen and Sima Feng were sitting on a spirit boat flying above the clouds. Zhang Chen looked at the map in his hand from time to time to confirm the direction. The two had been flying for three days.

"Brother, it looks like we have entered the territory of Chu."

"The territory of Chu is really huge, almost twice as big as that of Qing."

Sima Feng looked at the map and was surprised.

"It's getting dark, let's go down."

Zhang Chen looked at the somewhat dim sky.

"Ah."

Sima Feng responded, and soon Sima Feng controlled the spirit boat to lower its altitude and landed in an empty place.

They can only roughly tell the direction in the air. Generally, at night, the two will land on the ground to rest, both for safety and to establish a more accurate direction and location.

We quickly determined the location and direction by referring to the terrain and the markings on the map. However, considering that it was already night, we rested for a night and set off during the day.

This place was still several thousand miles away from the nearest Xiuxian market. The two of them soon passed a large city on the spirit boat.

After discussing it, the two decided to go down and stroll around to see the different customs and practices, so they landed in a secluded place outside the city. Sima Feng put away the spirit boat, and the two walked into the city.

The Chu people's dressing style is indeed different from that of the Qing people, and the Chu women seem to look fairer and slimmer. The two of them walked on the street, looking at the bustling market, occasionally buying some special snacks, and watching the various aspects of life, which also helped to relieve the fatigue of practicing.

As they walked, suddenly a sentence reached the ears of Zhang Chen and Sima Feng.

"This time, my master presented three pairs of boys and girls to the abbot of Baiyun Temple. I heard that the abbot gave him an elixir that can restore youth and rejuvenation."

"Really? Last time, my general got a magical medicine. After taking it, he became invulnerable and extremely powerful. It was really magical."

……

……

When Zhang Chen and Sima Feng looked at each other, they both understood each other's meaning. There was something strange about this Baiyun Temple.

Then he quietly inquired and found out the location, which was on Baiyun Mountain outside the city. It was said that the master of the temple was known as Baiyun Sanren, a cultivator who could go to heaven and earth. Ordinary people could not see him, and only high-ranking officials could enter the mountain to pay him a visit.

Soon Zhang Chen and Sima Feng arrived at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. There was only one road leading up the mountain. Baiyun Mountain was not high, but the top of the mountain was covered by white fog.

"This Baiyun Sanren must be an evil cultivator. We must be careful."

Zhang Chen gave Sima Feng some instructions, and when Sima Feng nodded, the two of them walked up the mountain along the steps.

The two of them moved very fast and soon reached the halfway point of the mountain. In a moment they arrived at the area covered by white fog.

"This white fog doesn't seem to be naturally generated. It might be weird."

Zhang Chen touched the white mist and felt it. This white mist lasted for a long time and did not dissipate. It was very different from the white mist formed naturally.

"Or I'll just call in."

Sima Feng looked at the white mist, clenched his fists, and looked eager to try. He hadn't fought for a long time and wanted to test the results of his recent practice.

"No, we don't know what the opponent is doing yet, we need to be cautious."

Zhang Chen thought about it and decided that they should go in separately. At the same time, he gave the sound transmission note in his hand to Sima Feng.

Zhang Chen bought this sound transmission talisman when he was buying a wedding gift for Wang Dong. He wanted to use it to communicate with Sima Feng. The use of this sound transmission talisman is also very simple. The sound transmission talisman comes in a pair, and there is a formation on it. As long as one of them is activated, it will find the other sound transmission talisman by itself.

After activation, just say what you want to say and then release the sound transmission spell. However, this sound transmission spell has two disadvantages. One is that when the sound transmission spell is activated, the other one cannot be put into the storage bag, and the distance cannot exceed ten miles, otherwise it will be ineffective.

After telling Sima Feng about the situation of the sound transmission talisman, Zhang Chen walked into the white fog. It was pitch dark in the fog. Zhang Chen immediately expanded his spiritual sense, but it could only detect twenty meters ahead and could not detect any further.

Zhang Chen was startled and immediately became cautious. At the same time, a magic sword appeared in his hand. He continuously input spiritual power into the sword, made preparations, and then continued walking along the road towards the mountain.

At the same time, in a room in a Taoist temple on the mountain, a man in his fifties wearing a gray Taoist robe was refining something in front of a large cauldron. He had a grim grin on his face from time to time and made loud noises from his mouth.

There were four boys and girls around six years old around him at this time. They were looking at the Taoist in fear, with long tear marks on their faces, but their bodies seemed unable to move and no sound came out of their mouths.

"Hehe, with the addition of your blood and essence, my furnace of elixirs will be ready, and my cultivation will be able to go one step further."

The gray-robed man let out a few strange cries and turned to look at the two men and two women beside him. Seeing their frightened eyes, he became even more excited.

"Be a little more afraid, the medicinal properties of the pills made in this way will be stronger."

Then he stretched out his bony hands and was about to throw one of them into the cauldron.

Suddenly, he felt something and a bronze mirror immediately appeared in his hand. He found a white dot in the mirror, which was moving towards the Taoist temple.

"Hey, it looks like we are of the same mind."

The gray-robed man's eyes turned, and he immediately walked out of the room. He quickly came to the gate of the Taoist temple and looked down the mountain. The white fog posed no obstacle to the gray-robed man's eyes. He saw Zhang Chen approaching quickly with a magic sword in his hand, and he was less than 500 meters away.

So the gray-robed man immediately walked down the stairs, and when Zhang Chen was still a hundred meters away from him, he suddenly asked:

"Fellow Daoist, why did you come to my Baiyun Temple?"

The voice suddenly reached Zhang Chen's ears. Zhang Chen was startled and recognized that the voice came from above, but he couldn't see him. Then he became alert secretly and replied.

"I came here by accident. I didn't expect to find someone like me. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The man in gray robe looked at Zhang Chen and knew that this was Zhang Chen's excuse, so he didn't point it out.

"In that case, please go back, fellow Taoist."

"Since we are destined to meet, won't you invite me up to sit with you?"

Zhang Chen thought about it and replied again.

"It's not very convenient. I'm refining medicine. I'm sorry for not entertaining you well."

"Fellow Daoist, it's okay. You can refine yours, and I'll just walk around the top of the mountain and enjoy the scenery. I won't disturb you. How do you do that?"

Zhang Chen tried again.

"Don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit. Get off the mountain now, or I'll be rude to you."

The man in gray robe was too lazy to pretend anymore. Thinking about the pill he was refining, he really didn't want to waste time with Zhang Chen.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen's eyes narrowed. It seemed that it was impossible to continue going up safely, but this place was obviously not favorable to him, and he didn't know the other party's cultivation level. Zhang Chen began to think about whether he should turn against him directly. After all, if the other party was much stronger than him, he should have taken action long ago.

Seeing that Zhang Chen was slow to move, the gray-robed man snorted coldly and shot several golden lights in his hand towards Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen felt the strong energy coming from the front and immediately used his body skills to dodge. He immediately heard a ding-ding-ding sound in his ears. Where Zhang Chen had just stood, the bluestone steps immediately had more than a dozen holes as thick as little fingers.

Looking at the traces left by the opponent's spell, Zhang Chen was delighted. The power of this spell did not seem to be cast by a foundation-building cultivator. Even if the opponent had held back just now, his strength was at most at the foundation-building stage, so there was no need to worry.
