Mysterious mirror hanging high

[Year 312 of the Changsheng calendar]

Life in the Xuehai Sect is actually quite boring. Since the furnace cauldron and the human pill itself does not need to go out to fight, there is no need to practice magical skills. Apart from three meals a day, all you do is meditate and practice.

Li Jiangmei and others were arranged to practice in a place called Luding Pavilion. There were supervisors who were specifically responsible for supervising the Luding practice to prevent anyone from being lazy.

But in fact, even if there is no supervisor, these furnaces and cauldrons may not slack off in their cultivation. The reason is that there is a rule in the Blood Sea Sect that if a furnace and cauldron has not been cultivated to the ninth level of Qi training before the age of fifty, it will be exiled to the [Paradise Valley] of the Blood Sea Sect, where it can be used by any disciple in the sect to absorb the essence until death. It is an extremely miserable end.

If one has the qualifications to reach the ninth level of Qi training at the age of fifty, the sect will give him a foundation-building pill so that he can try to build his foundation.

Once the furnace foundation is successfully established, it will escape the fate of being exiled to the Paradise Valley. In the future, it will have the opportunity to serve as the concubine of the Golden Core Patriarch. At the very least, it can fall into the hands of the powerful foundation-building elder of the Blood Sea Sect. In comparison, this is already a good ending.

To perfect Qi training before the age of fifty just by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is almost a fantasy except for true geniuses. Fortunately, the Demon Sect is not a completely unreasonable place. In addition to beauty pills that delay aging, the furnace cauldrons also have corresponding spiritual food and spiritual pill quotas every month. The treatment is even better than that of ordinary Qi training practitioners. But even so, it is not an easy task to perfect Qi training before the age of fifty.

Fortunately, Li Jiangmei has good aptitude and has been practicing Taoism for six years. Most of the people who entered the sect with her are still wasting time at the first or second level of Qi training, but she has been at the third level of Qi training for a year. With the monthly quota of spiritual food and spiritual pills, Li Jiangmei should have hope of building a foundation.

[Year 315 of the Changsheng calendar]

Li Jiangmei became more and more beautiful and charming. The other furnace cauldrons felt ashamed when standing next to her. But perhaps it was the effect of her fate of "Stunning Beauty", these furnace cauldrons who joined the sect at the same time as her did not feel any jealousy towards Li Jiangmei. Instead, they felt some regret and pity for such a fairy who had fallen into the devil's sect, and became even better to her.

In the same year, the head of Luding Pavilion was replaced. The original female cultivator with a gloomy appearance was transferred to another place. The person who took over was a young man who looked about the same age as these fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls. He was very handsome, but also a bit evil. If he didn't say it himself, Li Jiangmei and the others in Luding would just think he was a classmate from the men's academy next door.

However, there are many cultivators in the world who have the ability to maintain their youthful appearance. Their age cannot be accurately judged by their appearance. The furnace cauldrons just think that this is a cultivator who has practiced the anti-aging technique or taken anti-aging pills regularly, and is actually over 200 years old. They dare not have much contact with him and just practice diligently.

Li Jiangmei didn't think it mattered. The gloomy female cultivator who was in charge before was always rude to any furnace or cauldron, but she would always smile when she saw Li Jiangmei. Over time, she no longer felt that the leader of the Demon Sect was so scary.

Therefore, if the two met, Li Jiangmei would always greet the evil young man with a smile, which made the new head of Luding Pavilion feel a little uncomfortable.

[Year 318 of the Changsheng calendar]

Three years later, Li Jiangmei became familiar with the head of Luding Pavilion. She knew that his Taoist name was Xue Cang, and he was the only true disciple of Master Cang Xu, the current Golden Elixir Patriarch of Xuehai Sect, and a true Golden Elixir Seed.

He looks young because of the martial arts he practices, but he is actually a late-stage foundation-building cultivator who is over 120 years old.

Now I have come to Luding Pavilion to take up an idle job. I practice on weekdays. After another twenty or thirty years of honing my skills, I can try to form a pill.

Of course, in the entire Luding Pavilion, only Li Jiangmei could talk to Xue Cang, and this treatment was not something she had always had.

At first, Xue Cang still maintained his airs as the boss. When he saw Li Jiangmei greeting him, he did not respond but just walked past with a cold face. Later, he occasionally forced out a stiff smile, which was very difficult for him to do with such a cold temper.

But for some reason, when Xue Cang had not met Li Jiangmei for many days of cultivation, he always felt a little empty in his heart. He had to take a big detour on purpose, and when he happened to be patrolling with his hands behind his back when the furnace was ventilating, he would meet Li Jiangmei by chance.

Li Jiangmei didn't say much, but just arched her eyebrows of appropriate thickness, smiled and said hello.

Xue Cang is not some fool who is indifferent to worldly affairs and devotes himself to cultivation. He is the only true disciple of the Golden Core Demon Lord because he has fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. He is cruel and ruthless in his daily life and has done many evil things that are against the harmony of nature. He is also not ignorant of the ways of the world when it comes to men and women. His master arranged him to be the head of the Luding Pavilion, which may be intended to let him capture a few female cultivators here to replenish his vital energy and improve his cultivation.

But when he was just with Li Jiangmei, Xue Cang always felt a little cautious, fearing that this jade-like girl in front of him would be accidentally broken, and the fierce demonic flames on his body also subsided a little.

[Year 327 of the Changsheng calendar]

Li Jiangmei's cultivation level increased very quickly. Most of her peers in Luding Pavilion at the same age were still stuck at the second or third level of Qi training, but she had already reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi training. This was certainly due to her good spiritual roots, but more importantly, it was because Xue Cang sent her some cultivation supplies from time to time.

It should be noted that the true disciples of the sect are all favored ones who have the hope of obtaining the Golden Elixir. Xue Cang is even born in the Demon Sect. He has done a lot of trickery and robbery in his daily life. Naturally, he is wealthy, and it is not difficult for him to support a female cultivator who practices Qi.

The two have known each other for more than ten years, and Xue Cang has long had a secret crush on Li Jiangmei. The fellow disciples in Xuehai Sect also thought that Xue Cang, the true disciple, had regarded Li Jiangmei as a forbidden delicacy and dared not touch her.

However, Li Jiangmei's attitude towards Xue Cang was a little ambiguous. She usually listened quietly to Xue Cang talking about some anecdotes in the world of immortal cultivation, and never expressed her own opinions or attitudes. When Xue Cang gave her cultivation supplies, she just said thank you in a gentle tone and accepted them.

[Year 339 of the Changsheng calendar]

Li Jiangmei entered the ninth level of Qi training. In the same year, Xue Cang also reached the perfection of foundation building and was ready to retreat and form the elixir at any time.

Due to the special nature of Xue Cang's skills, he had to travel thousands of miles away from the sect to a "sunken blood pool" to form a golden elixir in order to achieve a higher quality of the golden elixir. Before leaving, he left a large amount of spirit stones for Li Jiangmei and made a promise in front of Li Jiangmei that when he became a golden elixir cultivator, he would rescue Li Jiangmei from the furnace pavilion and become her Taoist partner.

Li Jiangmei still did not make a clear statement. Upon hearing this, she just smiled and said to the magic seed that had been hard to come by in a thousand years from the Blood Sea Sect:

"I wish you a top-grade elixir and hope you can achieve immortality. Jiangmei will be waiting for you in the pavilion."

So Xue Cang secretly left Xuehaimen and went to the sunken blood pool to enter into a state of seclusion.

[Year 341 of the Changsheng calendar]

Nangong Fuhua, the Yuanying sword cultivator of Tiantong Sword Sect, exterminated demons and killed evil. With one sword, he broke through the Xuehai Sect's mountain protection formation and killed all three Jindan ancestors of the Xuehai Sect inside the sect's mountain gate. He also killed countless demonic disciples of the sect. From then on, the Xuehai Sect was destroyed overnight!
