Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Xuan Jing has just arrived in Zhongzhou. I didn't expect to meet an old friend in a foreign land. I see that fellow Daoist is not far from completing the foundation building. I would like to congratulate fellow Daoist in advance on forging the golden elixir. Then you and I can call each other fellow Daoist again, and there is no need to call each other Zhenren all the time, which would make things awkward." Jing Yu said with a smile.

"How dare I compare myself with a real person?" Guan Zhen said modestly.

"Fellow Daoist Lingyu, I'd like to ask you to escort the students from the sects west of Songfeng Pavilion." Jing Yu turned to Master Lingyu and said, "Also, there are three sword cultivators among the students from Yunchuan this time. They have all reported to the Sword Pavilion. Please take them with you as well."

The golden-browed Ling Yu Zhenren nodded: "Three sword cultivators, that's quite a lot."

After the things were divided, there were only thirteen students left under Jing Yu and Yuan Ji. The first choice of these thirteen people was Songfeng Pavilion, so naturally Jing Yu led them to pay homage to the mountain.

After burning a talisman with magic power, the mountain gate in front suddenly shone brightly, and array patterns suddenly lit up, opening a gap in the mountain protection array covering the entire Songfeng Pavilion. Jing Yu and Yuan Ji led the thirteen students to walk up the stairs step by step in an orderly manner, only to see a Jindan cultivator waiting for them at the end of the stairs.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing," the Jindan cultivator said politely, "I am a disciple of True Monarch Xiao from Nanyue Peak. I have been waiting here for a long time."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir. May I know your name?" Although the number of Jindan cultivators in Zhongzhou Territory has not yet increased, their number far exceeds that of Yunchuan. This cultivator is obviously the type who is devoted to seclusion and hard cultivation in the mountain gate. Naturally, Jing Yu could not recognize him, so he asked this question.

"My surname is Xiao, and my given name is Yuan. I am a disciple of Confucianism, but I have never taken a Taoist name." The Jindan cultivator named Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

wow-

Just as the two were exchanging greetings, there was a disturbance in the void and a man walked out of it.

"Master!" Xiao Yuan's face turned stern and he bowed quickly.

"Xiao Beiyue?" Jing Yu's heart skipped a beat. Xuanjing Zhenren was such a big shot? Why did he bother the Nanyue Peak Master to come and greet him in person?

"Meet the true king!"

Most of the students in Yunchuan had never seen Yuanying Zhenjun at such a close distance. Even though Xiao Beiyue did not deliberately release spiritual pressure, he still had an awe-inspiring aura that made them unable to help but pay their respects.

Xiao Beiyue nodded and said to Xiao Yuanyan, "Yuan'er, take Master Yuanji and these students to the [Luming Hall] to register and settle them down first. I have something to discuss with my friend Xuanjing."

"I will follow Master's orders." Xiao Yuan led Yuan Ji and the others away, only to see Xiao Beiyue smiling at Jing Yu and placing his hand on his shoulder: "Don't resist, it will be over in a moment."

After saying that, Jing Yu felt his feet leave the ground and suddenly hang in the air. The surrounding space was disturbed, and he seemed to have come to a bizarre scene. He subconsciously looked down and found that there seemed to be many overlapping scenes in the distance, which were stacked together in a very awkward way.

Jing Yu realized that he seemed to have entered [Taixu]!

There seemed to be an invisible barrier around Xiao Beiyue and Jing Yu, wrapping them up. Jing Yu was a little curious. If Xiao Beiyue threw him out of the barrier at this time, would he be squeezed out of [Taixu], or would he be strangled by some unspeakable danger in [Taixu]?

I don't think the result will be very good.

A moment later, Jing Yu felt that he had returned to the world. He and Xiao Beiyue had actually come to a quiet valley.

The valley was surrounded by cliffs dotted with green, with some unnamed green leafy plants growing on them. Judging from the environment, they should be at the bottom of the valley. Not far away from them was a pool of emerald green water, and beside the pool was an oval-shaped, smooth green boulder with a thick layer of glaze on it.

Xiao Beiyue took out two cushions from his storage bag and placed them on the bluestone. He flew up and sat on one of the cushions, extending his hand: "Xuan Jing, please."

Jing Yu also sat on the bluestone, looking around in confusion. Since Xiao Beiyue wanted to discuss something with him, why did he choose a valley with only a pool of water instead of going to the conference room or the secret room?

"Did Xuan Jing have a smooth journey?" Xiao Beiyue asked with a smile.

"Thanks to you, senior, we didn't encounter any setbacks on the road." Jing Yu said respectfully.

"You're not wrong," Xiao Beiyue said calmly, "I've teamed up with a few old friends to conceal the truth for you, and we've also kept a close eye on Tang Wei, all so that you can reach Zhongzhou safely."

"With so many True Lords working together, Tang Wei is naturally helpless."

Jing Yu was startled when he heard this: "Senior, the three demons of the Tang family..."

"Don't worry about the Tang Family's Three Devils. Tang Wei won't cause any major trouble." Xiao Beiyue said leisurely, "You killing the [Delusion Devil] was already within our plan. Tang Wei wants you to help him expel the [Delusion Body], but how could it be so easy?"

"There are many calculations involved, and it's hard to tell you now."

"Now, all you need to know is that Tang Wei's three [Delusion Bodies], the [Demon of Idiotism], have died in your hands. As for the remaining two demons, whether the [Demon of Greed] is dead or alive is irrelevant. Only the [Demon of Anger] must not be killed, lest you ruin the plans of the True Lords of the Penglai Righteous Path."

"The younger generation is dull."

Xiao Beiyue smiled and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. When the time comes, you will understand."

Xiao Beiyue had already said so much, Jing Yu didn't know what to say anymore, and could only helplessly say: "It's all up to the arrangement of the True Lord."

"Haha, Xuan Jing, don't bear any grudges. It was not my original intention to involve you in this matter, but I just happened to encounter the right opportunity and took advantage of the situation. To express my apology, I must give Xuan Jing some compensation."

Xiao Beiyue pointed to the emerald green pool beside him and said, "This pool is called the Jade Pool. The water in it has the effect of increasing magic power, cleansing the meridians and marrow, and can even refine the physical body and the Dharma body. I heard that Xuan Jing is a rare person in the world of immortal cultivation who can cultivate both the Dharma and the body. He is just right for this purpose. You might as well go in and soak in it. It can save you years of hard work."

"Oh?"

Jing Yu's eyes lit up: "It doesn't matter how long I soak it?"

Xiao Beiyue twirled his beard and smiled, "The water in this Jade Pond has accumulated over the years, and now it has nearly a hundred years of reserves. I will use as much as the Xuanjing can. However, too much is as bad as too little. There is always a limit to the growth of mana, so I must act within my ability."

Jing Yu nodded, and without taking off his clothes, he jumped into the Jade Pond in his robe, slowly sank to the bottom of the pond, and sat cross-legged.

In an instant, countless emerald jade liquids slowly seeped into the body from the surface of the skin, and soon seeped into the meridians, turning into drops of magical golden liquid, converging towards Jing Yu's dantian.

At the same time, a thin layer of gray, mysterious light appeared on Jing Yu's skin, which was also constantly absorbing the jade liquid in the pool, drawing it into Ku Du's precious body and quietly refining it...
