Chapter 535
The woman was surprised and secretly took out a small mirror from her sleeve, shining it at Qian Chen's figure.
Qian Chen's spiritual sense noticed it, just paused slightly at the door of the cave heaven, and continued to follow He Qilang inside!
The koi woman wearing a colorful dress and a fish tail skirt, who had already condensed a demon pill, poked her head over and asked: "Miss, how is this person?"
The woman looked at the image on the silver mirror and breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "I was overthinking! This person only has the cultivation of Penetrating the Law. I think the magic arts he cultivates are somewhat wonderful, which is why he could bypass our array."
The koi woman gasped slightly and said: "So that's how it is. He really bluffed me when he first appeared! At that moment, I thought I saw those Dragon Princes of the Long Gong! It turns out to be just a silver-like pewter spear head... That's right! Feng Xian True Person has been down and out for many years. If he knew such a character, he could easily ask for some spiritual pills and wonderful medicines, and his injuries should have been half healed! Why would he still need the Solid Yuan Spiritual Glue in Miss's hand?"
"Cailing is joking! How many cultivators in the world can compare to the wealth of the Long Gong? Which of the most famous Dragon Princes doesn't have hundreds of thousands of sea demon soldiers and several Nascent Soul demon generals under his command?"
The woman sighed slightly: "By comparison, when the Soul Transformation True Person of my Qiongquan Sect was still there, we still had some face. Now we have also become a small sect that relies on the Long Gong."
"Human cultivators overseas are trapped on those few islands. Even if they have flying boats and large ships, they only travel on the sea surface, while the Long Gong rules the ten thousand miles of sea territory under the water. Speaking of which, it is the force that occupies overseas! And we cultivators are just picking places that people don't want! You and I value the Solid Yuan Spiritual Glue very much, but you must know that the Long Gong doesn't know how many sea tribes graze giant Kun. These spiritual medicines might be piled up like mountains in their warehouse!"
The woman mentioned this and changed the subject again: "Today, a Reincarnation Divine Pill of the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect was born, making a lot of noise, and many sects and schools have sent people! Even the Changming Sect is tempted. Otherwise, it wouldn't be our turn to sneak out! But have you heard of any movements in the Long Gong?"
The koi woman covered her mouth and smiled: "These are all things that human cultivators with short lifespans are plotting. Those Dragon Princes of the Long Gong don't look down on them!"
The woman smiled slightly, revealing a trace of pride, and said nothing more.
The koi woman Cailing also sighed at this time: "I heard that there are a hundred times fewer cultivators in the Central Lands than overseas. The wars between the Wei and Jin countries mostly use mortal soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that the Long Gong is all aquatic tribes and doesn't covet the land on the shore. With the millions of aquatic demon soldiers, countless Nascent Soul demon generals, and Soul Transformation demon kings of the Long Gong, the Central Lands of the Divine State would have been devastated long ago!"
Qian Chen's incarnation was like a dream and illusion, and his perception was extremely subtle. Both of their words fell into his ears, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"Spiritual medicines like Solid Yuan Spiritual Glue should be quite a few in the Long Gong's warehouse, and they definitely don't lack the innate spiritual roots and water-attribute spiritual objects I seek. I originally had the intention of hitting them, if it weren't for the fact that there are a few splashing mud loaches that have cultivated to Nascent Soul sitting in town, and it would be quite risky to take action, I would have attacked them long ago! Speaking of which, the Changming Sect's foundation is in the sea area under the Long Gong, but it is more likely to defect to the Long Gong, not necessarily as I thought..."
Qian Chen flicked his sleeves, and a dreamlike, ethereal aura fell at the door of the cave heaven, emitting a floating light and fleeting shadow-like qi.
In an instant, the entire cave heaven was dragged into his dream.
The woman used the silver mirror in her hand to look again, but she could only see Qian Chen's dream floating on the surface, avoiding the embarrassment of her peeking into what happened later.
He stepped into the cave heaven, only to see Feng Xianzi sitting in the cave heaven with a withered expression, and He Qilang serving respectfully below.
Seeing Qian Chen arrive, Feng Xianzi managed to show a smile and said: "When I first saw Fellow Daoist, I knew you were not a thing in a pool. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist would cause such a big commotion after coming overseas for only a few years."
Qian Chen looked at his whole body, which exuded an aura of decay, and realized that the seal he used to seal his broken golden core had gone wrong, so he couldn't help but frown: "What forced Fellow Daoist to use your true cultivation?"
He Qilang below was moved: "Master!"
Unexpectedly, Feng Xianzi just waved his hand and sighed: "You don't have to blame yourself. A teacher just passes on the Dao, teaches karma, and solves puzzles. If I can't protect you, what is the use of this name of master?"
"You don't have to feel guilty either. These are all old illnesses from years ago! Speaking of which, I have always been unable to teach you anything, but instead borrowed your strength to linger on here!"
Feng Xianzi looked down at the genuine intention that appeared on He Qilang's face at this time, reached out and stroked the top of his head, and said in a low voice: "I know you have some secrets in your heart, and your personality is also quite suspicious. But since you kowtow to me and call me Master, I can only tolerate these secrets of yours!"
"My Dao is nothing more than teaching by words and deeds. Years ago, I also had an apprentice, but unfortunately... I failed to fulfill my duty as a teacher, which led him astray. It was also by getting along with you that I realized many things! Between master and apprentice, only sincerity is enough! Years ago, it was because I was not sincere that it led to him..."
He closed his eyes slightly, and a trace of grief appeared in his expression.
Feng Xianzi suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you still trust me, take out that secret you have hidden for a long time!"
He Qilang's body trembled slightly, and a moment of struggle appeared on his face. Only then did he take out the fragment of the silver mirror from his arms and offer it to Feng Xianzi with both hands. Feng Xianzi just stared deeply at the broken silver mirror, did not pick it up, but sighed deeply: "It really is this object—the Immortal Han spiritual treasure, the Dew-Bearing Plate!"
"I no longer have the strength to protect you. My niece must already know that you possess the Dew-Bearing Plate."
After saying that, Feng Xianzi grabbed Qian Chen's hand and said: "I know that Fellow Daoist passed him pill techniques without any request, and I'm afraid you have also seen through many small calculations in his heart, which is pitiful and ridiculous. Fellow Daoist should have seen it! Although he has a suspicious personality because he was deceived early on, and his city government is slightly deep, he is still a good child!"
"After I leave, please take care of him, Fellow Daoist. If you fancy this Dew-Bearing Plate, just take it! I have only one request for Fellow Daoist..."
Qian Chen shook his head slightly and said: "Although the Dew-Bearing Plate is a supreme treasure of the Immortal Han, how could I, Qian Chen, ever covet other people's things in my life? Fellow Daoist, please speak without worry!"
True Person Feng Xian sighed slightly, nodded with effort, and said: "Although my cultivation has been abolished, my eyesight is still there. This child covets the Taiyin power of the Dew-Bearing Plate, and his path has long gone astray. Although I passed him the "Three Yang Art" to relieve it, his physical foundation is no longer suitable for the Dao path of my sect! Therefore, I didn't dare to pass on any of Qiongquan's techniques and classics to him. Now, the only one who can guarantee his Core Formation to the supreme grade is Fellow Daoist!"
"I am willing to exchange these few fragments of the Dew-Bearing Plate for a Dao fruit of supreme Core Formation on his behalf!"
True Person Feng Xian bowed to Qian Chen with his head down.
Qian Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support him and was moved: "Why does Fellow Daoist have to do this?"
"An innocent man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!" True Person Feng Xian sighed: "This is not something he can keep! It would be fine if the news hadn't leaked. I would do my best to protect him until he reaches Core Formation, and everything else will depend on his own opportunity in the future. But the news has already leaked. When his whereabouts were leaked that day, apart from my niece, there were also Yacha demon generals from the Long Gong chasing after him. Although I tried my best to kill that Yacha demon general, this matter cannot be hidden from the Long Gong for long!"
He Qilang was already crying bitterly on the side. Feng Xianzi touched his head lovingly and said in a low voice: "You think our meeting as master and apprentice was accidental, but where in the world is there any accident?"
"The broken temple where we met that day was the temple of our sect's ancestor, True Person Qiongming! Your little mirror must have been found there, right? This Immortal Han Dew-Bearing Plate was seized by the great powers of the overseas dragon race in alliance with the Three Sects of Penglai when the Immortal Han country was declining. But at that time, the Daoist sect's strength was still there, and they didn't let them succeed. The dragon race's great powers finally only seized the gold and silver rings, but the most core copper plate was not obtained."
"When the dragon race's great powers returned overseas, there were also Nascent Soul great powers from the Shaoqing Sword Sect blocking them. In a great battle, the silver ring was also broken."
"At that time, our sect's ancestor, True Person Qiongming, encountered this tribulation and helped that Shaoqing great power a little. After this matter, most of the fragments flew into the void and scattered across the vast land overseas. Shaoqing seized the nine largest fragments and later refined them into the Moon Soul Silver Plate of the Shaoqing Sword Sect. And the three or five fragments in the ancestor's hands were only one-hundredth the size of the original silver ring, and refining them into any magic treasure was tasteless, so they were collected by the ancestor."
"Later, the ancestor was provoked by an overseas Nascent Soul Long Wang, who forced the ancestor to gamble with him, and the stake was those three or five silver ring fragments."
"At this time, the ancestor knew that the Long Gong's demand for the silver ring fragments must have a huge plot behind it. Fortunately, no one knew that the ancestor had cultivated a great supernatural power, and finally, the ancestor used the Sun and Moon in the Pot to win the Long Wang by a move. The ancestor was unwilling to carry the Dew-Bearing Plate to ascend, so that this supreme treasure of the Earth Immortal Realm would never be complete, and was also worried that leaving the Dew-Bearing Plate fragments would bring disaster to the sect, so he hid the Dew-Bearing Plate fragments in various places overseas. He even asked the two major sects of Shaoqing and Zhengyi to accept one each. The one in your hand is the one left by the ancestor!"
"Later, the Long Gong really used the spiritual island lost in the bet to split the many disciples under the ancestor. They supported True Person Changliu to take action, just to seize the Dew-Bearing Plate fragments from the ancestor's legacy! At the same time, they threatened True Person Huxuan to hand over the whereabouts of the remaining Dew-Bearing Plate fragments."
"Unexpectedly, the ancestor had already calculated this matter and only told his youngest disciple about the Dew-Bearing Plate fragments. That is, the ancestor of my lineage!"
"When Changming made a comeback that day, I knew there must be the shadow of the Long Gong behind it... That's why I shattered my golden core at the most critical moment, just to divert the attention of Changming and the Long Gong away from me. I originally intended to entrust this secret to my most trusted disciple, but unexpectedly..."
By the time Feng Xianzi said this, his previous high spirits had disappeared, and he had become a helpless, grieving old man!
"Later, the Long Gong really didn't pay attention to me, a useless person, so the one who intercepted me that day was just a Core Formation True Person from the Changming Sect! I shattered my golden core, killed that person, and escaped ten thousand miles with a secret method, wanting to find the Dew-Bearing Plate fragments and use the power of its moon-light-attracting ability to suppress my own injuries. But unexpectedly, when I arrived at the broken temple, I found that the spiritual treasure was gone. In distress, I was almost dead, so I had to use a magic power left by the ancestor to seal my injuries and wander nearby! Hoping to wait for the person who took the spiritual treasure to come back and take a look!"
"Unexpectedly, the one who waited was you, this child!"
True Person Feng Xian sighed: "When I saved you from serious injury that day, I didn't think too much, and I didn't know that the object I was seeking was on you, this little cultivator who had just entered the path."
"And you even swallowed it into your stomach!" True Person Feng Xian smiled slightly, very cunningly.
He Qilang choked: "Then when did Master know that this treasure was on me?"
Feng Xianzi laughed freely: "The first time you used moonlight mixed with the mud you rubbed off your own body to pretend to be a healing pill and fed it to me!"
He Qilang stared wide-eyed and said: "No wonder Master, your old illness flared up to that point. You still refused to take the medicine, I thought you were worried that the pill was poisonous, so you..."
"I should have killed you, this rebellious apprentice, at that time!" Feng Xianzi blew his beard and stared.
Feng Xianzi and his apprentice laughed and played, without any feeling of the deadline approaching or the death date being near. The master and apprentice now had no barriers and entrusted their lives to each other, which made Qian Chen feel moved.
Feng Xianzi looked up at him and smiled calmly, with a sense of entrustment in his eyes.
Qian Chen sighed and said: "I do have a Dao method suitable for his physique!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and sprinkled a crystal-clear spiritual light, as if built of ice. This spiritual light seemed to contain infinite coldness. Not only was it gorgeous on the outside, but the hidden power of the cold light made Feng Xianzi feel terrified, and he said in a low voice: "Ice Soul Cold Light! Fellow Daoist is actually from Guanghan Palace..."
Qian Chen said angrily: "That's right, I am the Guanghan Fairy of this generation, and I have taken a fancy to your apprentice, and I am going to secretly pass on the position of the next generation Guanghan Fairy to him!"
Feng Xian looked up and laughed: "Fellow Daoist is joking!"
Qian Chen's expression eased slightly, but then he heard Feng Xianzi say: "Qilang is clearly a man, how can he be a Guanghan Fairy?"
Qian Chen said coldly: "For those of us who cultivate the Dao, changing between male and female is not simple? My apprentice has great creation. The Guanghan Fairies of the Guanghan Palace throughout the ages have all had cultivation not lower than the Yang Spirit, and there are many who have ascended. I see that he is a good piece of jade, and he should meet Fellow Daoist's expectations!"
Feng Xian scratched his hair bun and showed a stunned smile: "Just joking! Just joking! Fellow Daoist is proficient in pill Dao and also cultivates the supernatural power of Five Elements Mysterious Light. You should be a true disciple of the Daoist sect, what does it have to do with that group of crazy women in Guanghan Palace?"
He swept away his previous decadence, his spirit suddenly invigorated, and said: "Fellow Daoist, take the Dew-Bearing Plate and take Qilang away! Leave my remains to be brought back to the sect by my niece... Although the old home has changed color, it can be considered falling leaves returning to their roots!"
Qian Chen saw that his state had suddenly improved, not because his injuries had any turning point, but because after sitting withered for several months and running out of oil and lamps, he finally waited for Qian Chen to return and entrust He Qilang, and the giant boulder in his heart was put down, which was a manifestation of the return of the light.
Even if he had just unsealed it, Qian Chen would have a hundred ways to save him, but he had suffered for several months and had long since run out of oil and lamps, all relying on a thought to support him.
Now, even Qian Chen was powerless!
Qian Chen held He Qilang's hand and stepped out of the stone room where Feng Xian was about to sit and transform. At this time, He Qilang knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Qian Chen: "Sir, Qilang is willing to give up the teachings, and I don't want that Dew-Bearing Plate either! I only ask you to save my Master!"
"Do you know that this Ice Soul Cold Light is an opportunity your Master exchanged for you by abandoning his last bit of dignity!" Qian Chen said seriously.
He Qilang just kowtowed endlessly, knocking his forehead until it bled!
Qian Chen sighed: "I am already powerless to return to heaven!"
He Qilang suddenly raised his head and begged: "Since you can refine the Reincarnation Divine Pill to extend the life of those Soul Transformation old monsters, you can definitely save my Master's life!"
He choked and sobbed, his eyes full of tears, staring at Qian Chen.
Qian Chen was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "The Reincarnation Divine Pill is only that one after all. Even if I open the furnace again, it will not be in a moment. And your Master... cannot wait until then!"
He Qilang cried bitterly. Qian Chen pointed at the silver mirror in his hand, and the Dew-Bearing Plate floated up, turning into a crescent moon suspended in mid-air. In the mirror, Qian Chen was a spiritual butterfly, and he said in a low voice: "The person in the mirror is not me, the butterfly in the dream is not a flower. The two phases of truth and illusion cannot be broken, a little spiritual light shines on the Nine Netherworlds!"
Accompanied by a sigh of a lifetime, this incarnation of Qian Chen turned into countless light spots and flew away slowly.
Through the reflection of the silver mirror, Feng Xianzi, who was sitting cross-legged and withered, was reflected in the mirror.
His old injuries and new illnesses were all twisted into illusions, and disappeared with the breaking of the mirror light. Between the inversion of truth and illusion, a Feng Xianzi who had exhausted his illnesses suddenly opened his eyes in the mirror, looking very puzzled as to why he hadn't died. He touched his body and looked left and right.
The silver mirror flew into He Qilang's arms, and Qian Chen finally transmitted his voice: "I used the method of dreaming in the three realms to turn your Master into a phantom spirit and ingest him into the mirror, preserving the integrity of his soul. In the future, we may be able to reverse the two phases of truth and illusion. After I refine the Reincarnation Divine Pill, I can protect him and let him reincarnate again. At that time, I will need you to protect and pass on the Dao for him!"
"My incarnation has already scattered. You stabilize the situation, wait for my other incarnation to arrive, and bring you back to my side!"
"I just used the Dew-Bearing Plate fragments, and those who have Dew-Bearing Plate fragments nearby will definitely sense the strangeness here. Hide the silver mirror, deal with the person outside, deal with the people of the Long Gong, and wait for me to arrive!"
