Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

Chapter 135 The Demon-Slaying Festival
Cangju Taoist Temple.

"Big Brother."

"Senior Brother Lu!"

Lu Jing walked down Pingfeng Tower, and all the disciples he met along the way saluted with excitement or respect.

In the human race’s system of gods and demons, those who master it come first.

Since Lu Jing, who had generally recovered from his injuries, returned to Cangju Taoist Temple two days ago and used the secret skill of "Liuhua Luoying" in the unity realm, although he is not older among the many disciples in the Taoist Temple, he has become a senior brother who does his duty.

The eldest brother of the Taoist Academy is the strongest among all the disciples.

'Liuhua Luoying' is the strongest secret skill of Cangju Taoist Academy. It integrates offense and defense, and has extremely strong combat power. When used in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, it can rival the perfection of the Reborn Realm.

The five worldly realms are foundation building, inner training, marrow cleansing, rebirth, and no leakage.

Most of the Taoist disciples are in the internal training and marrow-cleansing realm. There are less than ten people in the Reborn realm. Once they reach the Wuluo realm, they will leave the Taoist college.

Moreover, it usually takes many years for the body to transform into the rebirth realm. Most people have to wait until they are 20 years old to reach the realm of no leakage. Anyone who reaches the age of 20 must perform military service, and naturally they cannot stay in the Taoist monastery.

None of the ten disciples of the Rebirth Realm in Cangju Taoist Academy have mastered the secret skills of the Unity Realm. However, there is one person in the Marrow Cleansing Realm who has mastered the secret skills, but he is not Lu Jing's opponent.

"Senior Brother Lu has only been in the Marrow Cleansing Realm for two years. How can he understand the secret skills so quickly? The secret skills are still popular. Alas, I don't know when I will be able to master the secret skills."

"Hmph, I'm afraid he will no longer be the senior brother soon. Senior Brother Chen Luo was practicing in the martial arts field yesterday. He is only one step away from mastering the secret skill 'Inverted Seven Peaks'. He can break through at any time."

"Senior Brother Chen Luo is already in the state of rebirth. Even if he realizes the secret technique, he can't compare with Senior Brother Lu. I heard from Jin Jiao that Senior Brother Lu is expected to realize the state of power before he is 20 years old and go to Yuanchu Mountain. It’s the assessment.”

"Hmph, the state of potential is so easy to understand..."

"Shh, stop arguing. Have you ever heard that Senior Brother Lu suffered a serious head injury that time? He fell into a coma for three days after returning home, and when he woke up, he realized the secret skill..."

"I've heard about it. I also know that Junior Brother Lou actually banged his head against the wall after returning home two days ago and almost fainted, but it didn't seem to have any effect..."

All the disciples in the Taoist Academy thought that Lu Jing had gone far away, so they all whispered, either envious or jealous.

Little did he know that Lu Jing Yuanshen had already matured, and these whispers could not escape his perception.

Lu Jing shook his head slightly: "Well, it seems that after being hit on the head with a stone, my character of being suddenly enlightened became a blessing in disguise and has stood up."

There was nothing that could be done about it. Although Lu Jing was considered an 'top student' in the Taoist Academy before, he had a lazy personality and didn't practice very hard. He really didn't have much prestige in the Taoist Academy.

Whether it was out of jealousy or past impressions, for Lu Jing, the newly promoted senior brother, most of the Daoyuan disciples and even the teachings would think that good luck was the greater factor.

Lu Jing quickened his steps and arrived at the small courtyard in the middle of the lake.

"Dean."

"Yes." Kong Dai, the dean of Cangju Taoist Academy, looked at the young man in front of him with satisfaction: "I called you here because of the monster-slaying event that will be held in Yuyang Palace in two months."

No matter whether Lu Jing realized the secret skill as a blessing in disguise or luck, once he realized it, he realized it.

At the age of 15, he realized the secret skill of the Unity Realm. He is considered to be the best genius in the history of Cangshan Prefecture's Six Avenues Academy.

"The Demon Slaying Festival? Wasn't it just held a year ago?" Lu Jing was a little surprised.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuyang Palace was set up in each city, and the inner disciples were sent to take charge of it. In addition to guarding the city, a monster-slaying event was held every three years.

The Six Great Courts and the four major gods and demon families can send people to participate.

It allows the young talents under the age of 20 in the city to fight the monsters in advance before officially serving in the army, to experience the power of the monsters, and to have a better chance of survival on the battlefield in the future.

Dean Kong Dai chuckled and said: "In the monster attack on the city ten days ago, the palace master captured many monsters. Although our Cangshan Mansion was lucky and did not suffer too many casualties, in order to encourage the talented disciples in the mansion to practice hard and inspire fighting spirit .

"The palace master decided to take out some precious treasures and hold a demon-slaying event. In the future, the demon-slaying event will be changed from once every three years to once a year!" Lu Jing asked in a deep voice: "Is this the only one in Cangshan Mansion? , or should all other prefectures and cities switch to a demon-slaying meeting once a year?"

Kong Dai was a little surprised, then took a deep look at Lu Jing: "You kid is quite clever. As far as I know, at least all the cities in Yuanzhou are like this."

Lu Jing thought to himself: "It seems that the situation is getting worse and worse. It should not be long before the three major sects agree to abandon all small and medium-sized city gates, and millions of demon kings will flood into Cangyuan Realm.

"The plan needs to be accelerated. The demon-slaying event in two months will be a good time..."

Kong Dai smiled and said: "This demon-slaying event is different from before. The palace master has brought out a lot of treasures as rewards, especially for those who have performed well in the marrow cleansing realm. Yuyang Palace has prepared white stone grass and ice heart fruit. There is even chalcedony liquid of gods and demons.”

Divine chalcedony liquid?
Lu Jing was surprised. The white stone grass and the ice heart fruit were okay. His elder brother Lu Qian had also prepared some precious resources from the Rebirth Realm for him, including treasures of the same level as the white stone grass and the ice heart fruit.

But the chalcedony liquid of gods and demons is far more precious than white stone grass and ice heart fruit.

It is unlikely that most of the talented young people in some of the ancient gods and demon families in the royal capital can obtain a drop of the chalcedony liquid of gods and demons to use to build the foundation of gods and demons.

This is something that only the truly talented disciples cultivated by the God and Demon Family can exchange for their family heritage.

The state of rebirth is the process of taking off the mortal body and gradually possessing the power of gods and demons, which is equivalent to the gestation and larval stage of gods and demons.

The deeper the foundation of gods and demons, the stronger the strength and vitality will be, and the brighter the future will be.

After all, gods and demons also have levels. If you want to develop a top-grade or even super-grade god-demonic body, without a very deep foundation of gods and demons, there will be countless obstacles. Even if you enter Yuanchu Mountain, you will have to spend a lot of resources to make up for the foundation.

"Most likely it was sent directly from Yuanchu Mountain..." Lu Jing sighed inwardly.

It seems that the deterioration of the situation has caused Yuanchu Mountain to start increasing its resource investment. More than 400 cities consume more than 400 drops of divine and demonic chalcedony liquid every year, and only Yuanchu Mountain can afford it.

Kong Dai said excitedly: "Generally, those who have understood the secret skills of the Unity Realm have at least reached the Rebirth Realm. Among the other five avenues, only Shanshui Taoist Academy and Lihuo Taoist Academy have Marrow Cleansing Realm disciples who have understood the secret skills of the Unity Realm.

"Although the Marrow Cleansing Realm has not yet been perfected, with the power of the secret skill of 'Liu Hua Luo Ying', it is still very possible to win the No. It can also lay a deep foundation of gods and demons."

Cultivating talented disciples, even gods and demons, is the biggest goal of every major monastery.

In Kong Dai's view, Lu Jing is a promising candidate for gods and demons. Every additional god and demon can block one more demon king and save thousands of more humans.

……

Lu House.

Lu Qian also became excited after hearing that Yuyang Palace was going to hold a grand meeting to slay monsters and would reward them with precious treasures.

"Please protect Ajing from his ancestors and help him win the first place in the marrow cleansing realm and obtain the divine and demonic chalcedony liquid!"

Lu Qian had served on the front line of Beiheguan for seven years, and even reached the realm of condensation. With just enough merit, he could exchange Yuanchu Mountain for the opportunity to overcome the life and death crisis. Not only was he powerful in combat, but he also had rich combat experience.

This is also the reason why Lu Qian was able to support the family business as soon as he came back after the death of Lu's father and Lu's mother. Later, he directly joined the Hu family, one of the four major gods and demon families, so that the Wei family never dared to take action against the Lu family.

No one knows the benefits of having a deep foundation of gods and demons better than Lu Qian.

"When your brother and I were born, my parents had not yet managed such a large family business. They only sold iron to find a thousand-year-old ginseng. Therefore, although my foundation of gods and demons is deeper than most people, I have no hope of achieving success." It’s still quite different for gods and demons.”

Lu Qian looked at Lu Jing with relief and sighed: "Actually, even if I hadn't retired three years ago and had accumulated enough merit to go to the Yuanchu Mountain Gods and Demons Blood Pool, the probability of successfully breaking through to the gods and demons would be less than [-]%.

"Ajing, not only can you understand the secret skills so quickly, but you also have the opportunity to obtain the chalcedony liquid of gods and demons. Together with the treasures I prepared for you, you can lay a foundation that surpasses the core disciples of the gods and demons family at the stage of rebirth!"

Facing his elder brother who looked forward to his younger brother Jackie Chan, Lu Jing could only pretend to start practicing swordsmanship hard in the martial arts field.

At least show some hard work, and he will be more convincing when he shows his dominance in the future.
