Chapter 21 Going to Shu Mountain again

This treasure hunting conference has a lot to do, and Yuqing Zhenren dared not be careless. He selected six Jindan stage disciples from the sect and gathered them in the main hall. The six people plus Bailong had a total of seven. The reason why there were two more was just in case.

Among these seven people, Bai Long specially recommended Qingqing and Luo Cheng to the real person in the sect. Although they are all in the early stage of the Golden Pill, their qualifications are ranked among the entire Kunlun. If they are vigorously trained, they will definitely have a future of development.

Luo Cheng and Qingqing saw that Bai Long was not an ancient cultivator, but Bai Long, the disciple who was the leader of Kunlun three years ago, was so surprised that they could not speak. Thinking of Bai Long's magical power in the mystery of the sky forest, they were all shocked!

Seeing their surprised appearance, Bailong couldn't help but smile and said, "As long as you are willing to practice hard, you will reach my level sooner or later."

The real man Yuqing waved his hand, attracted everyone's attention, and then said, "You are going to Shushan to attend the treasure hunting conference, representing the entire Kunlun School. I hope that you will do your best to achieve good results by then, and do not lose my Kunlun face."

"Disciples must work hard to bring glory to Kunlun." Everyone responded.

Master Yuqing nodded and said, "I don't know where the treasure hunting conference will be held yet, so there is nothing to say. Let's go to Shushan first, and then go for discussion after the treasure hunting location is determined." Master Yuqing said that, and took his disciples to Kunlun Gate and went to Shushan with his sword. Each of the eight people in this group had a cultivation level above the Golden Elixir stage. It is naturally no problem to control the sword and move to the sky.

After listening to the master's instructions, Bai Long concealed his strength first, so he chose a more laborious sword-controlling method.

Shu Mountain is not far from Kunlun. It takes only a few days to walk with a sword. It doesn’t matter how close to Penglai, the East China Sea, and it will take more than a month to fly.

A few days later, a group of eight people appeared outside Shushan. This time, Shushan sent a wide invitation to invite all Taoist sects in the world to participate in the competition. The four major Taoist sects, the ten major sects, and those small sects in various places. Almost all places where the cultivation was cultivated received invitations from Shushan, so there were as many as 100 sects coming to participate. After all, the temptation of the top-grade spiritual weapons was too great. Even the ten thousand-year-old sects like Kunlun rushed over, let alone some small sects?

As soon as the Yuqing Zhenren arrived, he was immediately warmly received by the Tianquan Zhenren of Shushan. At the same time, he also received attention from other sects. While leading the Yuqing Zhenren to the main hall, he secretly looked at the strength of the disciples brought by the Kunlun Sect.

Bailong, the peak of the late stage of the Golden Pill. Tianquan Zhenren nodded, which was the same as everyone expected by this sect. As for the other people, two mid-stage golden elixir and four early stages of the Golden Pill. Seeing this, Tianquan Zhenren laughed in his heart: "Kunlun, Kunlun, with such a little strength, we will also participate in the treasure hunting conference. On the same level, our early stage sword cultivator in the Shushan Sect can be compared with you, a mid-stage golden elixir cultivator. And the mid-stage golden elixir cultivator in other sects is definitely better than the ones in your sect! I want to see, if you lose the White Dragon, what else can you rely on. At that time, you have not obtained a treasure, and see how you Kunlun will lose this little face."

As the head of Kunlun, Yuqing Zhenren, although the sect has declined, no one dares to underestimate it. The centipedes of the sects die without being stiff. When the heads of the sects heard that the people from the Kunlun Sect arrived, they rushed to the Shushan Hall one by one to pay homage to Yuqing Zhenren.

Zhenren Tianxuan glanced at the disciples behind Zhenren Yuqing and sneered in his heart: "It seems that Kunlun Sect is really not good. Apart from this white dragon, there is no available material. If you have all the strength to participate in the treasure hunting conference, wouldn't it be a death? Xuantian Sword Sect can squeeze the Kunlun Sect down, it depends on your ability. I have given you a chance."

"Yuqing Zhenren personally led the team to visit, and it seems that he is bound to be this top-grade spiritual weapon." Tianxuan Zhenren smiled and greeted Yuqing Zhenren.

Yuqing Zhenren said: "We are not good at fighting with others, so how can we be powerful in Shushan? This time we participated, we were just to give our disciples a long experience and let them understand what it means to have someone outside of others and there is a sky beyond the sky, so that we can avoid being a frog in the well."

True Man Tianxuan thought his words had meaning, and was secretly shocked: "The Master Yuqing could not have seen anything. He had a profound knowledge of Taoism, and maybe he had some clues." Instantly, he overturned his guess again. If True Man Yuqing really calculated something, he would not have come. After all, this treasure hunting conference is not a must-eat competition. True Man Tianxuan still responded with a smile: "What the Master Yuqing said is reasonable, and it is rare for everyone to gather together to let the disciples learn from each other and make up for their strengths and weaknesses. This will also be of great benefit to their future cultivation."

After Yuqing Zhenren said hello to Tianxuan Zhenren, he continued to say hello to the heads of other sects. At this time, outside the sect suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, it seems that everyone has arrived, it's because I'm late."

When Tianxuan heard this voice, he immediately smiled and said, "It's a fellow Taoist from Xuantian Sword Sect that has arrived."

After a while, a man with a cold and handsome expression walked in with five young disciples. The six of them, both masters and disciples, were all carrying long swords on their backs, which was completely different from the habit of others holding the flying swords in their bodies. However, everyone is not surprised by all this. Everyone has known the rules of the Xuantian Sword Sect that the sword is not separated from their bodies. Although they think it is rude to him to bring the sword into the hall, no one said anything.

The voice of Yuqing Zhenren sounded in Bai Long's mind: "Pupil, be careful. In addition to the Shushan Sword Sect, the biggest threat to you will be in addition to the Shushan Sword Sect. Xuantian Sect is one of the three major sword cultivators in the cultivation world. He is good at attacking and his combat ability is one level higher than that of ordinary cultivators. A cultivator in the early stage of the Jindan stage is no problem to deal with the mid-stage Jindan cultivators in other sects. If you have a conflict with them then, be careful of their sword energy. The best way to deal with them is not to let their swords be unsheathed!"

Bailong nodded and whispered: "Master, it seems that this Xuantian Sword Sect is very famous."

"Well, they were originally one of the top ten sects. Only 131 years ago, this sect leader, Zhenren Xuan Rui, obtained a very impressive sword cultivation technique. Since then, the sect has developed rapidly. In just a hundred years, it has been ranked first among the top ten sects. There are many masters in their sects, and they are all sword cultivators who are best at fighting. With true strength, if we don't ask the elders in the sect to come out, our Kunlun is far from being an opponent."

When Bai Long heard what he said, he vaguely thought of something: "Master, do you think if we didn't get a spiritual weapon this time, and the Xuantian Sword Sect achieved excellent results, and even obtained that top-grade spiritual weapon, what would the disciples of cultivation think?"

How smart is Yuqing Zhenren? He immediately understood what Bai Long meant at first. His face changed slightly and he said with the flow: "Those cultivators will definitely say: Kunlun, which is one of the four major Taoist sects in the world, is even Xuantian Sect among the ten major sects. What ability does it have to lead other sects... The Shushan Sect will definitely help Xuantian Sect and squeeze our Kunlun out of the four major Taoist sects."

Bai Long nodded and said, "The Shushan Sect must have some understanding of us Kunlun. We know that there may be some top masters hiding in our sect. Therefore, he did not say that our Kunlun was declining directly. After all, as long as we move out of that senior, our Kunlun's status will only be more stable, and Shushan also offended Kunlun. Therefore, he chose to start from the side and let others understand from the competition of young disciples."

The Yuqing Zhenren nodded with disappointment: "There are masters hidden in our sect, but the sects like Shushan and Penglai know, but other sects don't know. Then, as you said, Shushan will definitely tell us Kunlun to abdicate! Alas..."

The thousand-year friendship is so easily destroyed, and it is inevitable that the true Master Yuqing will be sad. Bai Long hurriedly advised: "Master, since they are dissatisfied with us Kunlun, they will come sooner or later. But Master, you can rest assured that with disciples here, this treasure hunting meeting, the disciples will definitely let everyone see the power of Kunlun."

"The strength of a sect is not just a person. Although you are powerful alone, you even have the cultivation level of the early stage of the Nascent Soul, I ask you, if you are besieged by five late stage sword cultivators at the same time, can you still say that you can bring the treasure to Shushan safely?"

Bai Long was stunned. If he was just five ordinary late-stage cultivators in the Golden Pill stage, he didn't care much, but if he was five late-stage sword cultivators in the Golden Pill stage, it would be a different matter. "Master, are you worried that Shushan and Xuantian Sect colluded to suppress our Kunlun Sect?"

Master Yuqing looked at Master Tianxuan and Master Xuan Rui who were talking and laughing, and said, "I'm afraid it's not a worry. If Shushan Zhen'an had this idea, they should have already discussed it."

After hearing the master's words, Bai Long had to think about his own way of adapting. After all, the critical bead is just a defensive magic weapon. Although it can protect himself and form a world outside the body, it also limits the individual's ability to move. With the critical bead, it is impossible to bring the treasures you have seized to Shushan. As for the Demon Sword? If the Shushan Sect and Xuantian Sect really join forces, how could they care about a few spiritual weapons? Therefore, their own spiritual weapons cannot take any advantage. There is only one way at present, which is speed. After finding the spiritual weapon one step ahead of them, they will return immediately, so that they can't even surround themselves.

Seeing Bai Long buried his head and thought hard, Master Yu Qing shook his head and said, "Don't think too much, I hope all this is just me being too concerned. Although Shushan and Xuantian factions are strong, it is impossible to send all the late stage practitioners of the Jindan stage. I see that among the five disciples brought by Master Xuan Rui this time, there are only two late stages of the Jindan stage, and the other three are only in the middle stage of the Jindan stage."

Bai Long nodded. The Kunlun Sect and the Xuantian Sect should not dare to deal with themselves blatantly. If they did that, even if Kunlun lost, no one would say anything.

Bai Long was thinking randomly, and then he heard a disciple outside the sect report: "Report to the head, all the fellow Taoists from Penglai Immortal Palace have arrived."

"Oh, Penglai is so far from Shushan, second only to the Xuanshui Sect. I thought that the fellow Taoists from Penglai Immortal Palace would arrive at least three days later, but I didn't want to come so soon. Please come with me, fellow Taoists." Zhenren Tianxuan bowed to everyone and said.

The real man Yuqing said to Bailong: "Penglai and I have always had good friends with each other. Let's go out to greet you."

Bailong nodded. As for the other disciples, they have been arranged to rest. After all, they are just Jindan stage cultivators, and it would be strange if they are not tired if they fly so far.

While walking out, Yuqing Zhenren introduced to Bailong: "Among the four major sects, our Kunlun Sect has the longest history, followed by Penglai and Shushan, and Xuanshui flourished eight hundred years ago. Among these three sects, we and the Penglai Sect have formed a deep friendship since more than 5,000 years ago. This friendship has continued to this day and has not yet faded."

Bai Long asked, "Why didn't the last time the Demon Sect attacked, but the fellow Taoist Penglai came to help?"

Yuqing Zhenren said: "Penglai is in the East China Sea, and our Kunlun is less than a month away. Although the Demon Sect attacked, Penglai also received the news, but the journey was long and there was no time to provide assistance, so he did not participate in that battle."

Bailong nodded. At this time, everyone had already arrived on the Shushan Square. A group of nine people in white robes were led by a Shushan disciple and quickly came here.

Yuqing Zhenren said, "The leader is Xuwu Zhenren, the head of Penglai Sect. Xuwu Zhenren has cultivated the Three Pure Aura, and has a deep cultivation level and has reached the late stage of the God Transformation. He has not been released for many years, and this time the top-grade spiritual weapon has a great relationship, and even he has been present in person." After Yuqing Zhenren introduced Xuwu Zhenren to Bailong, Xuwu Zhenren had already greeted Tianxuan and walked towards Yuqing Zhenren. Yuqing Zhenren hurriedly met him.

"Fellow Taoist, when I parted, my style was still the same." Xuwu Zhenren said with a smile.

The real man Yuqing shook his head and said, "Now it is not as good as before, so don't joke with fellow Taoists."

True Man Xuwu thought he had raised his heartache, and hurriedly comforted him: "Fellow Taoists, and the rise and fall are the cycle of heaven. I think Kunlun will be revitalized after this ordeal." True Man Xuwu said, and looked at the Bailong behind him again, and smiled: "This is your famous closed disciple, you must be reorganized by the nephew of the White Dragon who has been reorganized Kunlun."

The real man Yuqing nodded, and Bailong stepped forward a few steps at the right time and said, "Disciple Bailong, pay homage to Master Xuwu."

True Man Xuwu received a gift with a smile, and then took out a bottle of pills: "You Kunlun's method of refining weapons is a master of cultivation. I can't take any more magic weapons. Here is a 'avoidable pill' for a meeting gift for my nephew."

"Avoiding the Tribulation Pill!" Everyone saw that Xuwu Zhenren actually gave such a precious pill, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Tianxuan Zhenren's face changed slightly. If the Yuan Dan is a great tonic medicine to restore true energy, then this DAI Pill will definitely have the power to revive the dead. Not only can its effect be restored to physical injuries, but it can also replenish its own true energy very quickly. It is said that this pill even has the magical effect of restoring the golden pill and the Nascent Soul. In the cultivation world, even a spiritual weapon cannot be exchanged for a DAI Pill.

Bai Long also knew that this pill was precious and was hesitating whether to take it. Zhenren Yuqing said, "Disciple, Zhenren Xuwu is a close friend to me, so you can accept it." He knew that Bai Long would be a little dangerous to attend the treasure hunting conference. With this robbery avoidance pill, it would be at least much safer.

Seeing that the master spoke, Bai Long did not refuse and put away the pills. It was better to have one more self-defense item than not.

Master Yuqing said to Master Tianxuan: "Fellow Taoist, I haven't seen fellow Taoist Xuwu for several years. I have something to say, so I will take my leave first."

Tianxuan nodded in understanding and said, "You two, please go, I won't see each other off now." He said to a Shushan disciple next to him: "Take two, you can go to the yard to rest."

The Yuqing Zhenren and the Xuwu Zhenren bowed to everyone and retreated with Bailong.

After returning to the resting yard, Xuwu Zhenren couldn't help asking: "Fellow Daoist, do you say that Shushan suddenly held such a martial arts treasure hunting conference this time, will there be any purpose in it?"

"The purpose must be. Otherwise, Shushan would not be able to take out so many treasures so generously and give them to various sects of cultivation." Yuqing Zhenren did not want to implicate his friends in this battle vortex, so he concealed his guess.

The two were chatting, but they could hear the news: "The head master, there is a disciple named Wuhen outside, who said he wanted to meet Senior Brother Bai."

"Wuhen?" Bai Long, who was listening to the two elders chatting, raised his head and said to Yuqing Zhenren: "Master, uncle, this Wuhen is a friend of my disciples in the world. Now I'm looking for a disciple. I must have something to say. I'll take my leave."

The real man Yuqing nodded. Bailong immediately walked out. After leaving the yard, he saw Wuhen smiling at him. Bailong was about to speak, but Wuhen stopped him with his eyes, then made a gesture to come with me, took him up with his sword, and flew to another floating island.

Two girls were on duty in the square of the floating island. When they saw Wuhen and Bailong falling down, they immediately went up and said, "Who are you? Don't you know that male disciples are not allowed to enter here?"

Wuhen quickly took out a jade plaque from his body and said, "We were summoned by Zhenren Xinyue to discuss some matters. We also asked our two junior sisters to let us go."

The two carefully checked Wuhen’s jade token. After confirming that it was correct, they handed the jade token back to him and said, “Two senior brothers, we are also responsible.”

Wuhen smiled and put away the jade sign and said, "Haha, I know that the two junior sisters can do their duty, which is a good thing." After that, he surrendered the two girls and led Bailong to the residential area.

After a while, the two of them arrived outside the yard where Xinyue Zhenren lived. Outside the yard, Su Ling seemed to be waiting for the two of them. When they saw them coming, they immediately came up with a smile and said with a crisp voice: "Senior Brother Bai, Brother Wuhen, Master has been waiting for you inside for a long time. Please come with me."

Bai Long and Wuhen followed her in. While walking, Bai Long also secretly wondered in his heart that he had no friendship with Zhenren Xinyue, why did she invite him to discuss important matters for no reason? He secretly calculated in his heart while walking, but Zhenren Xinyue's cultivation was too much higher than him, but he couldn't figure out any of his flaws.

Bailong entered the living room and saw Zhenren Xinyue sitting on the main seat. Seeing Bailong and Wuhen, he said the word "Sit". Then he went straight to the topic and said to Bailong: "I think you must be very curious now, why I asked you to come here."

Bailong nodded and waited for Xinyue Zhenren to continue talking.

"The quota for Shushan Sect to attend the treasure hunting conference this time has been set. Among the five people, Wuhen, the other four are Su Ling, and one of the ancient ones has two late-stage disciples. However..." Zhenren Xinyue paused and said, "But the cultivation of those two people has been improved with spiritual medicine."

Bailong's heart moved. The Shushan Sect's sect's people were not even comparable to Xuantian Sect? Xinyue Zhenren seemed to see his thoughts and said, "Shushan Sect has never thought of winning a good ranking from the beginning. Don't forget that this conference was held by them. If the sect's lineup is too strong, others will say that Shushan has no intention of giving treasures to others at all."

Bai Long nodded suddenly, guessing something, but he was not very clear: "Real person, what do you mean..."

"The real place for Senior Brother Tianxuan and others to do something is the address of the treasure hunting conference." Zhenren Xinyue looked into the distance and said, "They will scatter those treasures in the Hidden Forest. Let these disciples who are not even in the Nascent Soul Stage enter the Hidden Forest to seize the treasure."

"Invisible Forest?" Bai Long thought about it carefully and said, "This Invisible Forest seems to be a place similar to the Seitian Forest. There are many giant beasts living in it, even monsters, but there are not many. Although it is dangerous for disciples in the Golden Pill stage to enter the Invisible Forest, as long as they work carefully, there should be no problems."

"You don't understand the true face of the Yinlin, so you said so. In fact, we only knew recently. In the Yinlin, there is a thousand-year-old monster living in it. The strength of the demon essence is chasing the late-stage master of the Nascent Soul stage. Although he does not have any attack methods, his strength is not comparable to that of ordinary Nascent Soul stage masters, and the last top-grade spiritual weapon is hidden in the monster's nest."

Bai Long was shocked and suddenly remembered a terrible question: "What do you mean is that the Shushan Sect wants to destroy all the elite disciples of each sect?"

True Man Xinyue smiled and said, "Senior Brother Tianxuan is not so bold yet, and he is an enemy of the world's cultivation sects. He will announce this news at that time to let people know the danger of the location of the top-grade spiritual weapon. I think everyone will be a little dissatisfied, but they will not say anything for the top-grade spiritual weapon. No matter how dangerous it is, they will let their disciples take it. Everyone knows that there is nothing in the world that can be obtained without effort."

"This, Zhenren Xinyue tells us what is the purpose of?"

True Man Xinyue glanced at Su Ling with love and said, "Those disciples who use spiritual medicine to improve their cultivation cannot fight against that monster. Once they fight, they will definitely be unable to protect themselves. I asked you to come because I just want you to protect my precious disciple when you have the spare time."

"This... the real person, since there will be danger in Miss Su's going, why don't you talk to Tianxuan Zhenren and others? I think, with your identity, it's not difficult to change someone with just one sentence."
Chapter completed!
