Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence.

Chapter 203 Heading to Dayu
"Shh!"

Zhang Yao stretched out his hand and took the letter and brocade box.

He put the brocade box aside first, took out the letter, and felt the familiar brand of mana on the seal, confirming that it was from the hands of Master Haihe.

"After more than 70 years of painstaking practice in the secret realm, it is rare to have an old friend alive."

Zhang Yao was still in a good mood.

He had few friends in Dali back then, they were basically the GCC gang, and after so many years, I am afraid that almost all of them are dead.

Apart from Haihe Daoist, who was promoted to the golden core stage, probably only Fairy Yuanmeng, who was a demon cultivator, might still be alive.

"Crack!"

Zhang Yao caressed it with his fingers, broke the mana brand of the seal, and took out the letterhead.

In Haihe's autographed letter, he congratulated Zhang Yao on his promotion to the Golden Core Realm at the beginning of the letter, narrated some old feelings from the past, and said that he was too troubled by trivial matters to come in person.

It can be seen from the tone of the writing between the lines that Master Haihe is very happy to hear the news that Zhang Yao has been promoted to the Golden Core Realm.

In the letter, he also talked about his own experience over the years.

After Fu Haizong's mountain gate was exiled in the Dayu sea area, it has been closed for nearly 20 years, and it was not reopened until he successfully broke through to the Jindan stage.

After Daoist Haihe was promoted to Jindan, Patriarch Wanchuan passed away within two years. He shouldered a heavy burden and led Fu Haizong in the world of cultivating immortals in Dayu, gradually gaining a firm foothold and spreading branches and leaves.

At the end of the letter, Master Haihe also said that he had specially prepared a congratulatory gift for him, which he would definitely like, but it was just a trick and did not specify what it was.

"This is interesting..."

Zhang Yao was a little curious, so he took the brocade box on the side, broke the restriction and opened it.

Inside the brocade box, on the pale gold velvet cloth, there is a piece of light blue metal ore, which is faintly shining with blue light.

"This is... Wind Breathing Mountain Copper?!"

Zhang Yao recognized it at a glance, and couldn't help being surprised.

He didn't expect that he obtained a piece of wind-breathing mountain copper from the hands of Daoist Haihe, but he did not see any results in his collection with the help of Dali's immortal world.

"That's right, this is indeed Wind's Breath Mountain Copper, and it's in very good condition."

Zhang Yao took out the light blue metal ore, carefully identified it, and then put it away in satisfaction.

Fengxi Mountain Copper is a rare treasure in the world. It is usually born at the core of the 'Wind Breath Treasure Jade' vein with a small probability. It is a hundred times stronger than steel, but as light as feather.

One tael of wind-breathing mountain copper is worth as much as an ordinary magic weapon. The piece of wind-breathing mountain copper in his hand is worth more than three taels, which is extremely valuable.

"Fellow Daoist Haihe has a heart."

Zhang Yao said kindly:

"After you turn around, thank fellow Daoist Haihe for me."

The great turmoil he caused in the Five Elements Secret Realm spread throughout the world of cultivating immortals in the southwestern countries, and even spread to the 54 countries in the heart of the Central Plains.

Immortal Haihe must have heard the news later, knowing his true cultivation foundation, so he specially sent this piece of wind-breathing mountain copper that is very important to him.

"Wan Hua Du Tian Zhen Jing" was not a top secret to the few companies that participated in the discovery of the Five Elements Secret Realm.

"Yes, I would like to obey the law of my ancestors."

After Liu Yun bowed respectfully again, she heard Zhang Yao ask again:
"Has fellow Daoist Haihe explained anything about this piece of wind-breathing mountain copper?"

"some."

Liu Yun seemed to have guessed that he would ask such a question, and immediately responded:

"The old ancestor said that if you ask about the wind-breathing mountain copper, he will tell you that this piece is the only one he has in stock."

"If you still want more wind-breathing mountain copper, then I will trouble you to go to Dayu in person, the old ancestor will wait for you."

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Yao let out a long laugh and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Haihe behaves like this, which is really different from what I imagined."

Regarding this congratulatory gift specially sent by Master Haihe, in fact, he had guessed for a long time.

Jindan Daoist travels tens of thousands of miles a day with ease, he can cross the Fubo Sea to come to Dali to congratulate him in person, and it doesn't even take a month to go back and forth.

But Haihe Daoist said that he was unable to come in person because of trifles, which showed that Fu Haizong had encountered some troubles and difficulties, so that he couldn't get away.

Combined with the congratulatory gift, it is the wind breath mountain copper that he needs, so the implication is self-evident.

More than three liang of wind-breathing mountain copper is far from enough for him. If he wants to refine the 'Tianfeng Invisible Body', one of the five-phase supernatural powers, he needs at least 12 taels of wind-breathing mountain copper.

Besides, the more rare treasures of this kind, the better. In addition to refining supernatural powers, they can also be devoured to strengthen one's own body. Of course, Zhang Yao's attitude is that the more the better.

"My ancestors forgive me."

When Liu Yun heard Zhang Yao's words, she lowered her head and dared not respond.

This kind of communication between the ancestors of Jindan, she is a monk in the foundation period, and she doesn't even have the courage to say a word.

"After all, it's not the same as it was back then..."

There was also a trace of emotion in Zhang Yao's heart.

If it was back then, with the friendship between him and Master Haihe, if the other party needed help, he would just ask, and he would most likely not refuse.

But after many years, everything is different.

Firstly, along with the massacre of hundreds of foundation builders in the Five Elements Secret Realm, it was spread along with his years of hiding, pretending, forbearance, scheming and other evaluations. There was a thorn in my heart.

Secondly, after more than 70 years, the identities and statuses of the two were very different. With the passage of time, he probably couldn't figure out Zhang Yao's real thoughts.

Zhang Yao could fully guess that it was out of such subtle thoughts that Master Haihe sent someone to give the gift this time.

"Please tell Fellow Daoist Haihe."

Zhang Yao's tone was gentle, and he said:
"A month later, I will go to Dayu to pay a visit to him in person."

"Yes, I would like to obey the law of my ancestors."

Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly responded respectfully.

"Go ahead."

Zhang Yao raised his hand, motioning for her to back down.

Liu Yun got up immediately, and exited the side hall in a good manner.

Not long after she left, Patriarch Zhenyang and others came together, obviously they had been waiting for a long time.

The main hall of Qingxu Palace:
After exchanging pleasantries, Patriarch Zhenyang and the others intentionally or unintentionally brought up the topic of Daoist Fuhaizong Zhuji who had just arrived.

Zhang Yao felt a little amused, so he took the initiative to speak up and made clear their concerns:
"Aren't you worried that Fuhaizong will take this opportunity to return to Dali's world of cultivating immortals?"

After hearing his words, Patriarch Zhenyang and the others looked at each other, but their expressions became much calmer.

"Brother Dao guessed right."

Patriarch Sanshan said in a low voice:
"After so many years, it doesn't make much sense to talk about right and wrong about what happened back then."

"If they really want to return to Dali, we can actually accept it."

"However, after the bloody battle back then, the two sides have had a quarrel that has not been resolved for many years; if Fu Haizong returns to Dali, it may be difficult to get along with us happily..."

What he said was obviously not true.

After Fu Haizong was expelled from Dali, the numerous spiritual veins and resources in Dali were shared by the three great families, and the power of the three great masters expanded unprecedentedly.

It can be said that today's Lingyang Sect, Shanhe Sect, and Lonely Sect, apart from the lack of foundation-building masters at the backbone level, the overall power is much stronger than it was a hundred years ago.

In this case, of course they don't want to have one more person at the table to share the food, which will only weaken them further.

"Don't worry, you guys."

Zhang Yao waved his hand and said:

"The ancestor of Haihe, who now sits in Fuhaizong, wrote me a letter in his own hand."

"He has stated in the letter that it took Fu Haizong decades to gain a firm foothold in the Dayu Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it is not easy to build a foundation. These are not things that can be easily given up."

"And as you said, it would be too inappropriate for Fu Haizong to return to Dali, so they are not planning to return..."

At the end of his speech, he suddenly realized.

The power of Tianbaolou is spread all over the southwest, equal to the spies and tentacles of the three major families, and they are also scattered throughout the territory of the southwest countries.

Don't the ancestors of Zhenyang and others not know about the basic situation of Dayu Xiuxian world and Fu Haizong?

But they still have this worry...

As soon as Zhang Yao thought about it, he immediately figured out the joints, his expression moved slightly, and he asked:

"Could it be that Fu Haizong's situation in Dayu's world of cultivating immortals is not very good?"

"Brother Dao is really quick-witted."

Patriarch Zhenyang touted a word before explaining:

"Dayu's world of cultivating immortals is also very exclusive, not to mention the great sects of the Jindan level."

"As far as we know, it took many years for Fu Haizong to gain a firm foothold in Dali's Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it can be regarded as initially integrated into the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation Realm."

"But a few years ago, there was another 'Emerald Change' incident. We don't know exactly what happened, but after this incident, Haizong's situation became worse."

"I see."

Zhang Yao nodded slightly, and said:

"No wonder you are worried that Fuhaizong will return to Dali's Immortal Realm."

"But you don't have to worry, I will go to Dayu next month to find the wind-breathing mountain copper and solve this problem by the way."

Hearing this, Patriarch Zhenyang and the others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

How terrifying Zhang Yao's strength is, they have personally experienced it, and those few golden cores in Dayu's Immortal Cultivation Realm tied together may not be the opponent of this Qingxu patriarch.

Now that he has gone, the situation of Fu Haizong will definitely improve, and they don't need to worry about it.

"Brother Dao."

Dugu Tianyi on the side opened his mouth and said:

"Speaking of the wind-breathing mountain copper, we are about to report the good news to Brother Dao."

"According to our collection and rewards in the past nearly a year, we have obtained a total of three pieces of definite information, one of which is about this wind-breathing mountain copper."

When he said this, he paused, and then said:

"How the wind-breathing mountain copper in Dayu came to be is hardly known to the outside world. There are only some speculative rumors, but it can be confirmed that it has something to do with the 'Emerald Change' event."

"The second piece of news is about the 'Infernal Yin Soil' you need. There is a world in the territory of Damo, and it was obtained by the Jiuhua Patriarch of the Damo'Shenhua Sect."

"The third piece of news is the 'Baoxiang Liujin Syrup' you asked for by name. We got the exact news that it can be exchanged on the 'Charitable Merit List' in Mani, ranking seventh on the list."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao nodded slightly and praised:
"Thank you for your help."

After all, the southwestern land is remote, and he is already very satisfied to get definite information about the three rare treasures and spiritual objects.

Among the three treasures, the best thing to get should be the Infernal Yin Soil in Damo territory. It is very convenient to go directly to the Jiuhua Patriarch of the Shenhua Sect.

The most difficult to obtain should be the 'Baoxiang Liujin Syrup' in Mani's country.

This thing is classified as a man-made spiritual object, but it is even rarer than many rare treasures of heaven and earth. It is a treasure for monks who practice Buddhism, and it is also very useful for monks who are golden body arhats in Buddhism, that is, monks at the first level of golden core.

Mani Kingdom, one of the 54 countries in the Central Plains, is one-third more powerful than Jing Kingdom. The mortal world advocates Buddhism, and the world of cultivating immortals is also dominated by Buddhist monks.

He has learned about the good deeds list of Mani Kingdom from Yuwentai's memory, but he doesn't know much. After all, Liu Cang, a man of the Five Elements, has never been to Mani Kingdom, and he just heard the news.

Liu Cang obtained the 'Baoxiang Liujin Paste' at the auction in Tianzhou Jiufu. It was purely a matter of luck, and it was difficult for Zhang Yao to copy his route.

"Go to Dayu first to solve the matter of Fuhaizong, and search for the wind-breathing mountain copper by the way."

"After leaving Dayu, go to Damo to find Jiuhua Patriarch in exchange for Infernal Yin Soil, and finally go to Mani Kingdom."

Zhang Yao had a complete plan in mind.

He chatted with Patriarch Zhenyang and others for a while, then sent them away.

…………

half a month later.

When the one-year period came, Qingxu Palace opened its gates, which attracted countless monks to be excited.

Patriarch Zhenyang, Patriarch Sanshan and Dugu Tianyi led the disciples of the three major forces to come to congratulate in person, and the principals of the second-rate forces also appeared one after another.

A selection that opened the gates of the palace became a rare grand event in Dali's immortal world, demonstrating the status and absolute influence of Patriarch Qingxu.

But as many people guessed, Patriarch Qingxu opened the palace door this time, only to recruit some people to serve him, so the conditions are very strict, especially in terms of age.

finally:
Only 36 boys and girls were selected to enter the Qingxu Palace and serve as attendants after going through multiple selections and after the Qingxu Patriarch personally took care of them.

These boys and girls are generally good-looking, outstanding temperament, and good cultivation talent, so they stand out from the fierce competition and become the final winners.

While countless monks returned disappointed, there were also many families and sects rejoicing, looking forward to the ascension of chickens and dogs to heaven in the future.

But what everyone didn't expect was:

Just half a month after selecting the attendants of Qingxu Palace, Patriarch Qingxu traveled far away and left Qingxu Palace in Pingdu Mountain.

Above the sky:

"boom!"

Zhang Yao transformed into a dazzling white rainbow, tearing apart the sea of ​​clouds in an instant, and galloped towards the east.

The Aurora escape method he practiced is not only unparalleled in the explosive flashing and moving in short-distance combat, but also has a huge advantage in long-distance driving, and it is no problem to travel hundreds of thousands of miles a day.

Thanks to such a fast light escape speed:

In just three days, Zhang Yao traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, crossed the entire Fubo Sea, and came to the waters within Dayu Kingdom.
