Chapter 244 Refining Qi in the Whole City (6400 words)
In Yujing City, just after midnight, the pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed.

On all the streets, the colored lights of every house are still on.

At the beginning of the new year, most people are still watching the year and have not fallen asleep.

In the corner of the street outside the Marquis of Wuwen's Mansion, several strange black shadows flashed past, ambush at the corner.

After a while, a deep voice came out.

"The last time I assassinated Hong Xuanji, I fell short and lost two Xiangtang hall masters. This time, the head teacher is furious. We must succeed."

"Hong Xuanji's martial arts are very strong, and there are so many masters in the house, we have to be careful."

"It doesn't matter, this time the head teacher bestowed the 'Explosive Flame God Talisman Sword', which was written on the sword with the purple thunder gunpowder that Fang Xiandao secretly practiced. , so that the gunpowder penetrates the blade!"

"Wait for you to come forward and assassinate Hong Xuanji to attract his attention. I secretly got out of my body, attached to the sword, and drove the sword to kill Hong Xuanji. He will definitely catch the sword with his hand. When I suddenly and violently, the sword immediately It will explode, the Explosive Flame Rune Sword is extremely powerful, once activated, the entire house can be blown up!"

"Besides, we took advantage of the right time and place for this shot. That Hong Xuanji was overwhelmed, and was seriously injured by Qingyun Dao Qingyunzi's punch. Even his right arm was shattered. Hong Xuanji must be extremely weak at this moment."

"Besides, who would have thought that we would come to assassinate Hong Xuanji on the first day of the New Year!"

"I'm afraid Hong Xuanji is still recovering!"

"This time we are only allowed to succeed, not to fail!"

"With Fang Xiandao's Explosive Flame God Talisman Sword, Hong Xuanji will definitely not survive."

"However, if your soul is attached to the sword, when the gunpowder explodes, your soul will also be annihilated in ashes."

"When we came, we made a poisonous oath of martyrdom. No one should be greedy for life and fear death. After death, we will definitely be able to return to the vacuum hometown!"

"When Hong Xuanji dies, it is equivalent to breaking off the left and right arms of Qian Emperor Yang Pan!"

"What a glorious event this is!"

"To be able to die for teaching, and to be able to hold Hong Xuanji back, our lives are worth it!"

After a while, the voice disappeared, and those figures jumped towards the Wuwen Hou Mansion quickly. The high wall of the Hou Mansion, they all climbed up with their hands, and there was no sound at all when they landed. They were three times more agile than a cat climbing a tree. point.

They quickly approached the main residence of the Hou's Mansion, stopped at the periphery, no longer approached, narrowly avoiding the detection of Hong Xuanji's inspiration, and lurked down.

About half a stick of incense time passed.

Inside the Langhuan Bookstore, Hong Xuanji's shout suddenly sounded!
"Where did the evil heretics come from and dare to assassinate me! Let me die!"

After Hong Xuanji's words fell, it seemed that a huge ship full of life and death appeared in the sky above the Hou Mansion!
Hong Xuanji's body erupted with a powerful force of energy and blood, which swept out like a torrent of huge waves, instantly covering the entire Hou Mansion!

at the same time.

In a corner of Hou Mansion.

There was a sound like "hum" like a dragon chant.

That voice seemed to suddenly appear from the boundless void!

A flaming flying sword flew out of the sky!

At the same time, a full-body golden armor suddenly appeared in the sky, holding a golden ax in his hand, majestic and majestic, like a god-like warrior!

But facing the huge wheel above Nahou's Mansion, the golden armored god will be wiped out in just a blink of an eye!
"Not good, Hong Xuanji was not seriously injured! On the contrary, he is stronger than the intelligence!"

"Hong Xuanji has already broken through to the Human Immortal!"

"Fight him!"

"It's Hong Xuanji's Wheel of Life and Death!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Birthless parents! Vacuum homeland! Above the blue sky!"

"Hong Xuanji! Don't be complacent!"

"Your life is not yours anymore!"

"Qing Yun Dao Qing Yun Zi is my Wusheng Dao, the third gate that rose after the Vacuum Dao!"

"If you, Hong Xuanji, dare to step out of Yujing City!"

"Just wait to be killed by Qing Yunzi!"

At this time, the entire vicinity of Langhuan Bookstore was full of people's voices, and many nurses flocked to the small courtyard outside Luanhuan Bookstore.

Among them are elite warriors wearing iron scale armor, iron helmets, and holding fine steel long knives!
"The assassin has been killed by this Marquis, you all stand back!"

"Don't make too much noise, so as not to disturb the family members, pack up the corpse and bury it deep."

"Strong crossbow guards, Mo Dao guards all retreat."

Hong Xuanji's voice came out again.

After some fighting, the Hou Mansion became quiet again.

Hong Xuanji looked at the few Taoist priests who were already dead and couldn't die anymore, with a serious expression on their faces!
He had just cut off the inner demons and broke through to the human immortal, but he didn't expect that the bastards of the vacuum and lifelessness would come to assassinate him again!

"Birthless parents! Vacuum homeland! Above the blue sky!"

"Qingyunzi! Are you really an evil demon!"

Hong Xuanji's face was livid, and his fists were clenched.

Thinking of what those Taoist priests said just before they died, Hong Xuanji shook his head again.

Not too possible!

If that Qing Yunzi was really in the same group as the monsters of Wu Sheng Dao and Vacuum Dao, then why didn't he kill himself on the spot on Qing Yun Peak.

Why did you let yourself come back and let these bastards come to assassinate you?

Is it because there is any suspicion between Qingyun Dao, Wusheng Dao, and Vacuum Dao?
This seems unreasonable!Not too possible!

If the three families really come from the same source, there is no reason for their actions to be inconsistent.

These bastards are probably planting the blame!
Want to fish in troubled waters!

Use that Qing Yunzi to intimidate yourself!

Although that Qing Yunzi may not be in the same group as the Vacuum Dao and the Wusheng Dao, he certainly does not want to work hard!
"Humph!"

Hong Xuanji snorted coldly, already thinking about it.

He is a dignified and powerful Wu Wenhou!
Mountains of swords and seas of fire are coming!
How can this little trick be hidden from his eyes!

Since Wu Sheng Dao and Vacuum Dao want to frame Qing Yun Dao, what happened tonight must be spread!
It doesn't matter whether Qing Yunzi is in collusion with the group of Vacuum Dao and Wusheng Dao, because no matter whether they are in collusion or not, he will eradicate these demons and heretics.

But Xiao Anran from Fang Xiandao had to know about this matter!

Xiao Anran held Qingyunzi's stinky feet, and he was busy with Qingyunzi. It was obvious that he wanted to win Qingyunzi over. The news was revealed, and Xiao Anran's disgusting habit had to make him feel scruples.

Otherwise, with Xiao Anran's help, this Qingyunzi will only be able to establish Qingyun Dao at a faster speed, which is too detrimental to the stability of Daqian!
Thinking of this, Hong Xuanji's eyes showed a stern look, and he said immediately: "Boss Wu, you should go to Yujing to watch immediately, and let Xiao Anran know what happened in the house just now, and ask him to deliver the news to Qing Yunzi's ears."

Manager Wu at the side stepped out of the darkness, responded, and went out the door.

……

Xishan, on Qingyun Peak.

Because today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Fengqiu gave the craftsmen a holiday.

A small number of craftsmen whose homes are near Yujing City went home for the New Year, but some craftsmen were unwilling to rest because the wages paid by Lu Fengqiu were three times higher than the normal market.

In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the wages are five times higher.

Coupled with the fact that Lu Fengqiu crippled Hong Xuanji, the powerful nobleman of the dynasty, Wu Wenhou, Hong Xuanji, in the eyes of these craftsmen, Lu Fengqiu was already a very important person, so these craftsmen did not dare to be negligent in their work.

The craftsmen who stayed on Qingyun Peak were still working hard.

Lu Fengqiu didn't treat these craftsmen badly. In addition to adding money, he also gave these craftsmen some low-level talismans he drew to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety.

Usually, any craftsman who suffers from wind-cold disease can get medicine from him for free.

Lu Fengqiu also ordered people to prepare hot soup for the craftsmen every day to keep them warm.

Therefore, each of these craftsmen worked very hard.

After all, these days, the only place that can have such a good welfare package is the scorpion shit.

When the sun was hanging in the sky, Lu Fengqiu was sitting in a temporary stone house refining flying swords.

This flying sword is not a flying sword like the Haoyue Sword, but a flying sword that can be driven by the soul.

He spent a little money and asked Xiao Anran from Fang Xiandao to get him some blood-patterned steel.

This blood-patterned steel is densely covered with blood, and it looks very bluffing. It is most suitable for refining flying swords.

Lu Fengqiu did not refine this flying sword for his own use. He prepared it as a reward for the three little foxes. The three little foxes have entered the state well, and Xiao Shu has already reached the state of repelling objects, so this first flying sword must be for her. of.

Lu Fengqiu also used it to practice his hands by the way, wanting to see if this blood pattern steel could be used as a material for refining the Four Tribulations Sword.

But the situation is not ideal, the spiritual power contained in the Four Spirit Orbs is too majestic, and the blood pattern steel alone cannot bear the power of the Four Spirit Orbs, and cannot exert the maximum potential of the Four Spirit Orbs.

Therefore, Lu Fengqiu put this matter on hold for the time being.

Not long after, Lu Fengqiu suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the stone house.

"Brother Qingyun is there?"

Lu Fengqiu put down the blood-striped steel in his hand, a look of doubt flashed in his brows, why did this guy Xiao Anran come to celebrate the Chinese New Year?

Although Yujing Temple is not far from Qingyun Peak, Xiao Anran came too diligently.

In just half a month, he has been here several times.

"Is it Fellow Daoist Xiao? Please come in and sit down."

Lu Fengqiu responded.

Xiao came to the door sadly.

As soon as Xiao Anran entered the door, he said: "Oh, I haven't come to Qingyun Peak for a few days. Qingyun Peak has changed a lot. It is really changing with each passing day. It changes every day. Daoist Qingyun is very generous. I heard from my disciples and grandchildren that all the gardens on Qingyun Peak The designs are all designed by Daoist Qingyun himself, which really impresses Pindao."

"Unexpectedly, Daoist Brother Qingyun not only has amazing attainments in painting, but also knows the art of refining weapons, and is even proficient in gardening."

At this moment, another person walked in from the door.

It was Gan Daozi who hadn't seen him for many days, and he only heard Gan Daozi say: "Brother Qingyun's ability is more than that, Daoist Qingyun's understanding of the Dao is many times higher than you and me, even Wu Wenhou Hong Xuanji is not an all-in-one enemy of Daoist Brother Qingyun."

"Now the prestige of Daoist Brother Qingyun has spread throughout Yujing City!"

Lu Fengqiu watched Gan Daozi and Xiao Anran singing together, complimenting him non-stop, even more confused.

The two of them didn't know him that well either.

Xiao Anran is a very scheming person, and it is true that he and Xiao Anran have contacts, but Xiao Anran was not so enthusiastic in the past two days.

"It's Chinese New Year, the two of you are visiting Qingyun Peak in Pindao, what's the matter?"

Lu Fengqiu asked quite curiously.

Xiao Anran heard the words, but said with a rather serious expression.

"Brother Qingyun, do you know that Hong Xuanji was assassinated in the Hou's residence last night?"

Lu Fengqiu said calmly, "I don't know."

Xiao Anran saw that there was not much change when Lu Fengqiu spoke, as calm as usual.

But he secretly thought in his heart, this Qingyunzi is really hiding something deep and unfathomable.

The realm of the essence of fist intent, even Emperor Qian would not easily test Qing Yunzi again.

Hong Xuanji just tried to test him, and he was directly beaten into a cripple.

Hearing that Hong Xuanji was crippled by Qing Yunzi, Xiao Anran was quite relieved. Hong Xuanji usually runs against Fang Xiandao, but this time he met Qing Yunzi, a ruthless stubble, he really deserved it.

But Hong Xuanji sent someone to report to him last night, saying that Qing Yunzi was probably in the same group as Wu Sheng Dao and Vacuum Dao, Xiao Anran became a little uneasy.

"Birthless parents! Vacuum homeland! Above the blue sky!"

The meanings represented by these twelve characters, whether true or not, made Xiao Anran very upset.

Qingyunzi founded the sect and established Qingyun Dao, and he helped a lot in it. His apprentices and grandchildren are still working for Qingyunzi.

If Qingyunzi's Qingyun Dao is really from the same source as the Wusheng Dao and the Vacuum Dao, then this matter will be a big deal.

Even if Emperor Qian doesn't trouble Fang Xiandao now, he will definitely trouble Fang Xiandao later if he frees up his hands.

So, he couldn't sit still anymore, and wanted to confirm whether Qing Yunzi was in the same group as Wu Sheng Dao and Vacuum Dao.

Whenever there is a slight sign, he has to make a decision immediately.

But because of the picture of Taoist ancestors and the essence of Lu Fengqiu's fist, Xiao Anran didn't want to give up his friendship with Lu Fengqiu easily.

After all, being able to make friends with such a master is not a bad thing for Fang Xiandao.

Even if there is a chance in the future, they can unite to bring down Taishangdao.

There are three major gates in Dagan, Taishangdao, Fangxiandao, and Zhengyidao.

Fang Xiandao has the closest relationship with Dagan, because Fang Xiandao is favored by princes and nobles for his alchemy and alchemy.

Taishang Dao is mysterious and does not appear in the world. He lives in seclusion in the mountains, high above, and has a delicate relationship with Daqian.

Daqian's first two emperors were assassinated to death, and the mastermind behind the assassination of these two emperors was Tai Shangdao!
In the future, there will be a struggle between Taishangdao and Emperor Qian.

How to maximize Fang Xiandao's interests and make Fang Xiandao the leader of the Taoist sect, this is what Xiao Anran has been thinking about.

The friends you can make are naturally not let go.

"The assassin who assassinated Hong Xuanji last night yelled "Birthless Parents! Vacuum Homeland! Above the Albatron!"

"This has been heard by many people in Yujing City."

"I'm afraid that there are rumors in Yujing City that Qingyun Dao may come from the same source as Wu Sheng Dao and Vacuum Dao."

"You must know that Wu Sheng Dao and Vacuum Dao are evil sects that intend to rebel and cause chaos. The imperial court has always paid attention to these two evil sects."

Xiao Anran frowned, and said slowly.

"No birth parents, a vacuum hometown, above the blue sky."

After talking about it, Lu Fengqiu couldn't help laughing.

"Will anyone believe such a clumsy statement of framing?"

"If Pindao wants to kill Hong Xuanji, Hong Xuanji died long ago under the hands of Pindao. Is it the turn of the bastards from the Vacuum Dao and the Wusheng Dao to do it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Anran thought it was such a reason, he also thought about it on the way here, if Qing Yunzi really belonged to Wusheng Dao and Vacuum Dao, yesterday on Qingyun Peak was the best way to kill Hong Xuanji Timing, Hong Xuanji definitely can't save his life, so why bother.

But Qingyunzi's origin is too mysterious, so far no one can find out his roots, so how credible are empty words?

Looking at Xiao Anran's appearance, Lu Fengqiu also knew what Xiao Anran was thinking.

Lu Fengqiu didn't care much about Xiao Anran, he just smiled lightly, changed the topic, and said, "Daoist Xiao, have you heard that a copy of "Zhi Dao Jue" is being widely circulated in the market in Yujing City recently?"

When Xiao sadly heard it, he raised his eyebrows and said, ""Zhi Dao Jue"? Pindao has never heard of it."

"However, the exercises that can be widely circulated in the market must not be profound exercises."

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu smiled, and said no more.

Xiao Anran hasn't noticed "Zhi Dao Jue" which means that the power of "Zhi Dao Jue" has not been fully radiated.

The person he sent to print and distribute "Zhi Dao Jue" was not someone from Fang Xiandao, but a professional talent he specially found in Yujing City.

Otherwise, with Xiao Anran's shrewdness, he would have to look at the "Zhi Dao Jue" first.

However, once the new year is over, there are some things that need to be speeded up.

He had to release the news that "Zhi Dao Jue" was his Qingyun Dao's elementary qigong method.

Taking advantage of his reputation in Yujing City, it's time to recruit a group of miscellaneous disciples. This Qingyun Peak can't be someone who has been using Fang Xiandao all the time.

Xiao Anran at the side suddenly realized, why did Qing Yunzi suddenly ask him about "Zhi Dao Jue", is there anything special about this "Zhi Dao Jue"?
Xiao Anran and Gan Daozi came and went quickly, and they left together after sitting for a while.

Lu Fengqiu probably also understood the purpose of the two of them, it was nothing more than to test his details, to see if he had anything to do with the Inanimate Dao and the Vacuum Dao.

……

In the blink of an eye, many days have passed.

These days, many major events have happened in Yujing City.

The most discussed thing is that Xishan has an additional Taoist gate called Qingyun Tao.

The largest brothel in Yujing City, Sanhualou.

Sanhualou is always very lively.

In Yujing City, some idle princes and nobles, scholar-bureaucrats, and ministers of civil and military affairs would call friends every now and then, hold small church meetings, or drink and have fun, or talk freely about poetry, or appreciate calligraphy and painting.

In the Sanhua Building, between an open-minded flower hall, the pavilions are bright and the courtyard is spacious, gathering many young people.

Princess Luo Yun of Zhennan was standing with Hong Yi with a folding fan in her hand and a jade pendant on her waist, causing dissatisfaction among many princes and children, and the dissatisfaction was directed towards Hong Yi.

After all, Hong Yi is only a concubine of Wuwenhou Mansion, and he can talk and laugh with Princess Zhennan.

A group of princes and sons were making a fuss, and someone said loudly on purpose: "Recently, there have been a lot of major events in Yujing City. I heard that Wu Wenhou was crippled by Qing Yunzi, the head teacher of Qingyun Dao, and even resigned from his position as a grand teacher. Go, now that I have gone to the south, I don’t know whether it is life or death.”

"Some people are really filial. My father was beaten into a disability. He still has time to come to Sanhualou. He is really filial."

When Hong Yi heard these yin and yang strange words, his face was like a flat lake, and his heart was like still water.

He didn't want to come today, but considering Luo Yun's identity and Luo Yun's help to him, he still came.

Just after the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hong Xuanji left Yujing City.

Although Hong Xuanji left Yujing City, Concubine Yuan still went to the Hou Mansion to visit relatives.

Concubine Yuan and Luo Yun's visit to the Hou Mansion made Hong Yi's life much more comfortable.

Hong Xuanji's departure from Yujing also made Hong Yi less afraid.

Most importantly, he has refined Qi!
"Zhi Dao Jue" was given to him by Hong Xuejiao.

These days "Zhi Dao Jue" can be said to be popular in Yujing City.

After learning that "Zhi Dao Jue" was Qing Yundao's qi refining method, Hong Yi started to refine qi almost without any hesitation.

In just a few dozen days, he felt a change in himself, and his strength had made great progress.

Facing the ridicule of these princes and children, Hong Yi didn't care at all.

There are still three days until the township examination, and when he wins the exam, he will be able to worship Qingyun Dao in a fair manner!
Hong Yi himself didn't care about it, but Princess Zhennan was helping Hong Yi to stand out. When the prince's children heard it, they didn't want to go too far, and took the face of Princess Zhennan.

But when it comes to this Qingyunzi, everyone started talking with each other.

After all, in the recent days, the name of Qingyunzi is very popular in Yujing City, almost everyone knows it, everyone knows it.

"If you want to say that Qingyunzi of Qingyun Dao is really a legendary figure, a painting of Daoist ancestors makes Daoist Gan Daozi willingly bow down, and Xiao Ran, the head teacher of Fang Xiandao, is full of admiration."

"What's even more strange is that even the "Zhi Dao Jue" that is being circulated in the city is also Qing Yundao's exercise."

"It is said that Qing Yunzi is already at the peak of human immortality. He only used one punch that day to severely wound Wu Wenhou Hong Xuanji."

"The "Zhi Dao Jue" seems to be some kind of method of refining qi. The method of refining qi is only divided into four major realms. Refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform spirit, refining spirit to return emptiness, and refining emptiness to combine Tao."

"The method of refining qi does not require any resources, it only needs to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, as long as it breaks through the realm of refining qi to transform into a god, its strength can be comparable to that of a martial saint!"

"It is rumored that in Qingyun Dao, there is also a "Rising Dao Jue" that is more profound than the "Zhi Dao Jue". If you practice it to a high level, you can reach the realm of refining qi and transforming gods. After breaking through the realm of refining qi and transforming gods, your strength will increase. Comparable to a fairy!"

"Three days ago, that Qingyunzi erected a large stone monument at the foot of Qingyun Peak in the West Mountain, called Qingyun Monument."

"Anyone who wants to join Qingyun Dao after practicing "Zhi Dao Jue" can go to Qingyun Dao for a try. If they enter Qingyun Dao, they will be named on the Qingyun Tablet."

"Many civilian children have gone to Qingyun Road to learn from teachers."

"I heard that someone who has practiced the "Zhi Dao Jue" for only half a month can beat the "Lianpi" warrior. It is really miraculous."

"I heard that many ordinary people now have a copy of "Zhi Dao Jue". Almost everyone wants to try whether they can refine qi. After all, they don't need any resources, they just need to absorb the aura of heaven and earth."

"Let's not talk about civilians, even in our families, there are quite a few people who practice the "Zhi Dao Jue" now. After all, they don't need any resources. Who wouldn't want to try it."

"Yes, my father has already said that if I can refine Qi, he intends to let me go to Qing Yun Dao to try and see if I can enter Qing Yun Dao."

Princess Zhennan looked at Hong Yi and said, "Hong Yi, what's your opinion on this method of refining Qi?"

Hearing this, Hong Yi smiled slightly. He had already experienced the benefits of refining Qi. The faster his strength improved, the more Hong Yi admired that Taoist Qingyunzi, and his desire to join Qingyun Dao became stronger and stronger.

Hearing Princess Zhennan's question, Hong Yi suddenly thought of a sentence that Daoist Qing Yunzi said when he was in Yougu.

So, Hong Yi said leisurely.

"The method of refining qi is better than the method of refining the soul and martial arts."

Princess Zhennan's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she still believed in Hong Yi's words.

It seems that she also has to experience the magic of this method of refining qi.

If it is really as mysterious as the rumors say, and it only needs to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and does not need all kinds of cultivation resources, then it will be a great thing for her kamikaze country.
