I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 96 Senior brother, what did you do for a living before coming to the Taoist Academy? (-in-)

"Squeak!"

In the narrow mountain road, a group of black apes jumped from the ancient trees on both sides of the mountain road with scarlet eyes. There was a black evil spirit between their limbs, like black shadows, quietly attacking the mountain road. A man and a woman in it.

The woman's skin was like snow, she was wearing a long turquoise dress and a jingle ring, and she seemed to always have a soft smile on her face.

The man is tall, with flowing sleeves and robe, handsome face, free and elegant.

The two of them were walking along the mountain path and talking, seemingly not seeing the black apes suddenly attacking from both sides.

The black apes had bloodthirsty excitement on their faces, and the black demonic energy in their palms was filled with strong corrosive energy, and they were about to capture the two of them.

"clang!"

But at this moment, beside the two of them, a huge green lotus suddenly appeared. The petals of the green lotus still had a golden luster, like gold and iron, and exuded an indestructible aura.

The attacks of the black apes landed on the green lotus, and there was a sound of gold and iron, completely unable to break through the defense.

Not only that, a strong sense of purification surged out from the green lotus, like the spring breeze blowing snow, destroying all evil spirits.

"Squeak!"

Before the black apes could react, they were knocked away by the strange force. They all fell to the ground, their hearts were broken, and they were dead before their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Bian Chuyao couldn't help but sigh:

"I think back then, the Zhongshan Kingdom had tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and several golden elixirs. Although it was not as powerful as our Qingfeng Taoist Temple, it was still a well-known force. There were countless spiritual beasts in the Jade Palace in the mountain gate. But I didn't expect that today it has changed. It’s become like this.”

"The golden-backed ape who once had extraordinary spirituality has become a demon..."

In that battle, countless monks died, because the battlefield was cleaned in a hurry, and then the entire Zhongshan Kingdom was driven into the land of annihilation. The corpses of these monks became food for wild beasts and monsters in the mountains, and they devoured the corpses of these monks. , continued to grow, was eroded by countless resentments, and gradually turned into a demon and evil thing, even the spiritual veins were infected.

"Fortunately, the realm in the Land of Annihilation is locked. Although these demons and evil creatures are numerous in number, they are unable to break through the Qi Refining realm. With Senior Brother Gu here, Chu Yao will definitely be able to obtain the Flowing Flame Golden Fruit safely!"

With that said, Bian Chuyao raised her head and looked at Gu Yuan again, her eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, looking up with admiration.

Facing this hypocritical look, Gu Yuan was unmoved at all. He just frowned and asked, "Junior sister came all the way, why didn't you take action?"

Since entering Yunlan Mountain, Gu Yuan and the others have experienced several attacks, large and small.

Although the attacking monsters were not very powerful, Bian Chuyao never took action, waiting for Gu Yuan's blessing even if the monsters were already attacking.

Gu Yuan can naturally protect her, but Bian Chuyao's hiding behavior still makes him a little confused.

Could it be that you are waiting for something?
  Facing Gu Yuan's questioning, Bian Chuyao just tilted her head and smiled: "These little monsters will definitely not be able to defeat senior brother. Junior sister, I have to save my strength and protect senior brother in the end!"

"What do you mean by Junior Sister's words? Is there something else going on here?"

"Chu Yao is not sure. It's just a precaution. But senior brother, don't worry. If there is a crisis, junior sister will definitely take action. Chu Yao believes that these little monsters in front of the mountain will not be able to defeat senior brother."

Bian Chuyao explained with a smile.

"Could it be that...there are others who also want to come here to compete for the Flowing Flame Golden Fruit?"

But Gu Yuan was not that easy to fool, and he keenly grasped the problem in Bian Chuyao's words.

Bian Chuyao was silent for a while, and then sighed: "I'm not sure, but I'm just making some more plans. Don't worry, senior brother, I will take action next, and I won't let senior brother be in trouble alone."

Gu Yuan nodded silently, but when he looked at Yun Lanshan in front of him, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

……

……

In the Land of Annihilation, magic weapons cannot be used. Qi-refining monks have lost their magic weapons. If they want to use magic power to make the seals fly, it takes a lot of energy. In addition, there is a cloud of demonic miasma on Yunlan Mountain, and there is also the broken air-forbidden law of Zhongshan Kingdom. As long as the formation existed, they couldn't fly at all, so Gu Yuan and the two could only follow the stone steps in the mountain and step into the mountain.

After a long time, after Gu Yuan repelled many attacks from the little monsters in the mountains, the two of them finally entered the demonic miasma of Yunlan Mountain.

"Hoo ho ho!"

As soon as they crossed the mountain road, the black miasma came in like a tide, constantly eroding the mana and minds of the two people.

Fortunately, both of them have the best spiritual knowledge, and with the protection of the Miasma-Breaking Pill, they can almost ignore the demonic miasma and walk safely in the black miasma.

"Shhhhhh!"

But at this moment, a shrill fox cry suddenly sounded, and a black ruined temple suddenly appeared in front of the two of them in the demonic miasma.

In the ruined temple, a black fox raised its head to the sky and roared with a shrill voice. The invisible sound wave was like the roar of a wild beast, attacking towards the two of them.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, just this spiritual attack could make a person sluggish and unable to move.

"Roar!"

"Wow!"

But the silver dragon and the golden fire phoenix soared out, easily blocking the shrill spiritual attack.

But the black wild fox, with limbs like lightning and a strong demonic aura, was already biting Gu Yuan's throat.

The Black Fox in the Broken Temple, this is clearly the scene in the Duzhen Star Formation, but the Black Fox in front of him is stronger and has actually reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, Gu Yuan's strength has also improved greatly.

"Roar!"

The silver dragon not only easily blocked the invisible wild fox spirit consciousness in the air, but also turned around and bit it, tearing it into half.

With his spiritual consciousness damaged, the wild fox's lightning-fast figure suddenly froze, and then the pink peach blossoms arrived in a flash, directly twisting its head into two halves.

The damaged fox corpse fell to the ground, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a line of black energy and dissipated in the ruined temple.

"In that battle, a golden elixir monk died. The corpses and blood seemed to have polluted the spiritual veins of this place. Some monsters breed in the spiritual veins. Even if they are killed, after a while, as long as there are wild beasts coming out, , he will turn into a black fox again and guard this temple."

"This is also the reason why the demons in Yunlan Mountain remain immortal for a long time."

"But don't worry, senior brother, there won't be any existence beyond Qi Lian. As long as we can kill a few demons on the road, we can enter the Yunlan Valley and pick the Liuyan Golden Fruit."

Seeing Gu Yuan's confused look, Bian Chuyao took the initiative to explain.

Gu Yuan suddenly realized.

Then the two of them stopped talking, crossed the ruined temple, and continued forward.

In the distance, a mountain with dense forests can be vaguely seen.

On the top of the mountain, densely packed ghosts hang like shadows under the shade of the trees.

The place in front of you should be Baihu Ridge in the Duzhen Star Formation.

Bian Chuyao kept walking, ready to move forward, but Gu Yuan suddenly stopped and looked to the side of Lin Hai with lightning eyes.

"Senior Brother Gu?"

Bian Chuyao's spiritual consciousness surged out and he checked carefully for a long time, but found nothing. He couldn't help but look at Gu Yuan in confusion.

"There is a calamity repair!"

But Gu Yuan just said lightly.

"What? Jie Xiu? Where is it?"

Bian Chuyao's face looked a little surprised, her spiritual consciousness surged out again, and there was a flash of light in her eyes, but she still found nothing.

"The soil under your feet has been sprinkled with evil spirit powder. This is a strange powder extracted from the demon miasma. It can be integrated with the demon miasma. It is extremely hidden. But once it is touched, in the eyes of those who are interested, it will appear. Like fluorescent lights, their whereabouts are difficult to conceal.”

"Not only that, this powder has a stimulating effect on mentally retarded monsters, which will invisibly amplify the killing intent in their hearts."

"This kind of magic powder requires the help of foundation-building monks to refine it. The spiritual awareness of Qi-refining monks is almost impossible to detect."

Gu Yuan explained. “Then how do you know, senior brother?”

Bian Chuyao asked curiously.

Gu Yuan didn't answer.

"Someone is ambushing us, so what should we do now? Find them out and kill them?"

When Gu Yuan didn't answer, Bian Chuyao asked again.

"Since there are Jie cultivators here, they must be sure that someone will pass by this place. However, we entered Yunlan Mountain directly with the Jade Order. We should not be among their targets. Come with me..."

Gu Yuan didn't hesitate at all. After saying this, he slowly walked towards the other side, took out a bottle, sprinkled some lightly in the void, and then took out the Kong Ming Jade, and placed it in the air. In the woods on the other side of the mountain, the figure disappeared.

Seeing this, Bian Chuyao also took out a piece of jade and hid his figure with Gu Yuan.

"Hoohoo!"

In the forest, there was silence for a while, only the whining wind kept blowing.

Not long after, a group of people broke out of the demonic miasma.

At the head were two monks in white clothes who were at the ninth level of Qi Refining, followed by two monks at the eighth level of Qi Refining, with a look of dust on their faces.

"Brother Ma, after traveling thousands of miles, we finally broke into Yunlan Mountain!"

"As long as we kill these few more monsters, we can enter the Yunlan Valley, where we can definitely gather enough supplies to build our foundation!"

Several monks were talking quietly while cautiously moving towards the forest.

"Roar!"

But before they could get close to the forest, there was a roaring sound coming from the forest, and a big tiger with a hanging forehead and white eyes suddenly came out, carrying a wave of demons like a tide.

The expressions of several people suddenly changed.

"call!"

But at this moment, a slight wind suddenly blew on the side of the mountain forest, as if it was blowing some powder. Then in the mountain forest on the other side of the white tiger, two figures who had been hiding suddenly appeared.

The two of them seemed a little shocked when they looked at their sudden appearance.

"Fang Bai!"

"It turned out to be you!"

Upon seeing this, the faces of the few white-clothed monks who first appeared suddenly changed and they shouted in disbelief.

"Roar!"

But the tiger demon didn't dare to ignore it at all. He commanded the ghost and directly started to attack indiscriminately.

"Roar!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

In an instant, a three-party melee broke out in the mountains and forests, and the scene was chaotic.

Bian Chuyao looked at the melee in front of her with a look of shock. She couldn't help turning her head and looked Gu Yuan up and down again.

But Gu Yuan just put his hands behind his back and watched the melee quietly.

After a long time, the melee in Lin Hai finally ended.

The tiger demon and countless ghosts were all killed in the battle. Two of the white-clothed monks who rushed into the battlefield at the beginning were tragically killed. The remaining two were also seriously injured and could not fight anymore.

Although the two robbery cultivators were not feeling well and were all covered in glory, there was a look of cruelty and excitement on their faces.

"Fang Bai, you actually became a tribulation cultivator?!"

The monk in white shouted angrily.

"So what if I do the Tribulation Cultivation? If I don't do the Tribulation Cultivation, how can I reach the ninth level of Qi Refining with my qualifications?"

"Only idiots like you would think of breaking into Yunlan Valley. With this skill, wouldn't it be easier to intercept and kill you here?"

The leader of the robbery cultivator sneered disdainfully, then gathered his seals and prepared to kill the two people in front of him.

"Roar!"

"Zheng!"

But at this moment, there was an invisible roar and clanking sword energy in the void. The expressions of the two tribulation cultivators changed greatly, and they wanted to activate the seals to block them.

But the two of them were already injured and their magic power was low. The silver dragon came again in a moment, and it was extremely fast. In an instant, it triggered a huge wave in the sea of ​​​​consciousness of the two.

The two of them were stunned for a moment.

Then the peach blossoms blossomed and easily strangled the two of them.

"call!"

The two monks in white were stunned by the unexpected scene in front of them, but before they could react, a red dragon phantom hovered over and completely burned the bodies of the two tribulation cultivators into ashes.

Then a handsome figure wearing Taoist robes came out of the air and took away the storage bag on the ground.

"Yunlan Mountain is extremely dangerous. You two are simple-minded, so you should leave early!"

The figure uttered a word, and then the mana surged and turned into a powerful force, sweeping the two of them out of the forest.

The two of them were unable to resist at all, and could only watch as Gu Yuan's back became farther and farther away from them.

In the last sight, the bodies of the two companions were cremated, and the storage bag fell into a big white hand.

……

……

Bian Chuyao looked at the scene in front of her and was speechless, seeming to be immersed in shock.

Gu Yuan's hand speed was extremely fast, and he completely cleaned up the battlefield in just a few breaths, and then continued to move towards the mountains and forests.

Bian Chuyao seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and quickly followed him.

But not long after passing through the forest, Gu Yuan stopped again before reaching a jade palace.

Then, with Bian Chuyao's puzzled eyes, Gu Yuan struck out like lightning and pulled out a short figure from an ancient tree about ten feet to the side of the Jade Palace.

Then all methods were used, and in just over ten breaths, they killed people, burned their bodies, and took away a storage bag.

"Senior...senior brother, what did you do for a living before you came to the Taoist Academy?"

When the sound of Gu Yuan's returning footsteps came, Bian Chuyao seemed to wake up from a dream and couldn't help but ask softly.

"What a Taoist can do to make a living is just practicing hard in the mountains..."

Gu Yuan shook his head, then turned around, avoiding the Jade Palace, and walked towards another remote ancient road on the top of the mountain.

"Senior brother, I'm wrong, Yunlan Valley is not there!"

Bian Chuyao felt a little confused in her thinking, but she still reminded her.

"It doesn't matter, I know a shortcut..."

But Gu Yuan didn't even raise his head, he just strode forward.
