The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 47
Vietnam.

Zhou Xun was lying on the back of a shoebill stork. His trip was to Tainan Mountain to find his jade ring.

Looking at the mountains that are constantly retreating below me, my mind can't help but go back to a day ago.

Jinyi middle-aged man recounted his experience with his predecessor, his grandfather.

The two have known each other for a long time.These two jade pendants were obtained by the predecessor's grandfather when he invited the middle-aged man to visit his predecessor's cave.

The Red Flame Technique and True Fire Gourd that they cultivated were also obtained by their predecessor's grandfather in the cave here. Later, the two guessed that these were brought out from the secret realm by the owner of the cave.

In that cave, in addition to the daily spiritual stones, exercises, and magical tools, the most closely protected thing was a jade box.

The two jade pendants were contained inside. The two of them studied for a long time but couldn't find anything, they were just ordinary jade pendants, so they divided them one by one.

One day a few years later, the jade pendant suddenly emitted a faint red light, and the two quickly gathered together to study it. Until a year later, the jade pendant suddenly glowed red and attracted each other.

So the two quickly took out their jade pendants.But seeing these two jade pendants flying in the air, combined together, the faint light circulated, and a silver arrow appeared, pointing in one direction.

The two of them kept flying in the direction indicated by the arrow.
After flying for more than half a month, we stopped at a barren mountain.

Then the jade pendant flew into the air uncontrollably, emitting red light from its eyes.Then a door appeared out of thin air under the light.

The two of them were extremely shocked, but what happened next was even more shocking.

The two jade pendants flew to the top of the two people's heads again, emitting a light shield to wrap them up, and slowly sent them into the portal.

Then the world turned upside down.After a moment of burning incense, the two of them set foot on the land again, which was the secret realm.

After returning home in his middle age, Jin Yi read many ancient books and guessed that it was a small world opened by powerful monks in ancient times.This jade pendant is equivalent to a voucher for entry.

A month ago, Jinyi's middle-aged jade pendant began to glow red, which meant that the secret realm would be opened in less than a year.

So the two agreed to meet in Tianxing Zongfang City ten months later.

"The Secret Realm, maybe my goal of advancing to the second level in ten years should be in this Secret Realm, or even the opportunity to condense the baby. For now, I will have a showdown with the ancestor of the Chen family, and then I can talk to this secret realm again after I get out of the Secret Realm. The Chen family keeps the general ledger!"

"In everything, cultivation of immortality comes first!"

Thinking about it, Zhou Xun slowed down his thoughts and began to enjoy the magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers.This was the first time he flew over Vietnam with a relaxed mood.

After flying for who knows how long, suddenly the fluctuation of fighting skills came from the forest below, interrupting Zhou Xun's leisurely pace.

The eyes that had been lightly closed suddenly opened.His consciousness swept away.

I saw three immortal cultivators fighting in a group below. Two middle-aged men in gray clothes were obviously in a group and were attacking the gray-haired old man.

Although the cultivation level of the two middle-aged people is one level lower than that of the old man, they are only at the eighth level of Qi training.

The magic weapon is also a bit worse.But the old man was accompanied by a seven or eight-year-old girl.The two middle-aged men were also extremely shameless and greeted the little girl from time to time.

In order to protect the little girl from harm, the old man had no choice but to deal with it.

"Two Taoist friends, how about I hand over the storage bag to you and let my grandfather and grandson go?" The old man was in a state of embarrassment and gradually lost his opponent, so he could only beg for mercy.

The two middle-aged people saw that the old man was about to lose, and they were not willing to let them go easily. However, when they saw the older man, the middle-aged man said with an arrogant face:

"Kill you, the storage bag is also ours, haha. And your granddaughter also has a lot of cultivation. Although she is a little small, she will still be a good furnace after a few years, hahaha."

He said with a lustful look on his face.

The middle-aged man next to him also agreed: "Yes, I can't say that the cultivation of my two brothers can be further improved through this."

Zhou Xun saw clearly from above that these two middle-aged men were evil cultivators who killed people and took treasures.

Ever since that encounter in Tainan Mountain, he had hated this kind of person the most in his life.

So he took out the Qingxuan Sword without hesitation and threw it into the air.

The small palm-sized sword swelled in the wind and became over a foot long.

Zhou Xun's mind moved slightly, and the flying sword fell from the sky, piercing the two middle-aged men and nailing them to the ground.The two struggled for a while, but they lost their breath.

Then Zhou Xun collected the shoebill stork and landed in front of his grandfather and grandson.

The two powerful enemies in front of him were suddenly killed by a flying sword that came from nowhere, which shocked the old man.

However, when he saw Zhou Xun in front of him, he immediately understood that this person had rescued him, and he also sensed Zhou Xun's foundation-building level.

He quickly took the little girl and bowed down:
"I am bringing my granddaughter Xiao Cuier and Xiao Zhen of the Xiao family in Fenghejian, Yunzhou, to thank my seniors for their help."

The words "Yunzhou closed the Xiao family in Hejian" reminded Zhou Xun of something.By the way, Han Li's unknown Qi-condensing formula in the original work was obtained from a pair of grandparents.

That grandfather is the one who calls himself "Fenghejian Xiao Family"

His granddaughter later became an alchemy monk in Yellow Maple Valley.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun suddenly smiled, looked at the old man with amusement, and said:

"Oh? Then how do you plan to thank me?"

The old man was stunned when he heard the words. Zhou Xun's words caught him off guard.grateful?I am just a minor Qi practitioner, so there is something worthy of my attention.

Could it be, could he be attracted to his granddaughter?

Seeing Zhou Xun staring at him, he stuttered:

"Senior, senior, if there is anything senior likes in this junior, please take it all."

As he spoke, he took out his storage bag, held it in both hands and placed it in front of Zhou Xun.

"What treasures can you come up with as a qi-training monk that I can admire?" Zhou Xun shook his head and smiled, then looked at the seven or eight-year-old girl and said:

"It's your granddaughter"

When I heard Zhou Xun talking about his granddaughter, I really thought that Zhou Xun was going to use his granddaughter as a reward. His face turned pale with shock, and he led the girl to immediately bow down and stammered:
"Senior, my granddaughter is still young. I hope senior will let her go. I will immediately go back to the family to raise generous gifts to reward senior." As he said this, he kowtowed.

Zhou Xun stroked his forehead and felt that this old man was too clever.

"What do you mean by that? I mean your granddaughter's skills are quite wonderful."

"It is obvious that the cultivation level of the third level of qi training is revealed, but it looks like it has never been practiced. If I were not here, the monks in the qi refining stage would not be able to see through it even if they think about it."

"You will be grateful if you tell me this Qi-concentrating technique."

Hearing Zhou Xun say this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.Answered:
"Senior, I don't know what kind of exercise is used?"

"Because it comes from a incomplete unknown Taoist book. It doesn't mention the name of this method of condensing spiritual energy. My grandfather and grandson just practiced it randomly!"

"Where did the nameless Taoist book come from?" Zhou Xun asked with great interest.

"Senior Mingjian, this Taoist book was found in a cave when my granddaughter was playing in an uninhabited mountain."

As he spoke, he took out a worn wooden box from his storage bag and handed it to Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun took it and opened the box, revealing a blackened yellow book.

I glanced at it casually and found that the front part was written in unfamiliar ancient characters.Only on the last two pages, a set of nameless formulas were written in an ancient Chinese language commonly used in the world of immortality.It's that set of Qi-containing formulas.

After putting it away, Zhou Xun looked at the old man with satisfaction.

"I don't know where the cave is. Take me there to have a look. If there is still something to gain, I can give you some benefits, such as elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans."

The old man was very moved when he heard the words and said a few words to his granddaughter.Then he looked towards Zhou and said:
"It's okay to take you there, but it's quite far from here and it may take some time."

"It doesn't matter," Zhou Xun said, summoning the shoebill stork, and landed on the bird's back with his grandfather and grandson.Then he followed the old man's instructions and flew towards the barren mountain.

　During these two days of business trip, I can only update once, and two updates will be resumed on the third day.
