Chapter 626 Uncle Master Xu Xiaoshou

The cranes cry in the courtyard, and the peaks rise out of the clouds.

The upper and lower peaks of Siling Mountain are spectacular.

Below it is covered with snow, and the cold has not yet melted; above it are flowers and grass, and the divine light is everlasting.

The dust and smoke are curling, and the Immortal Palace is lingering.

Even if the environment is difficult, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rich. Even if climbing the peak is difficult, it is a holy site to admire.

Therefore, at the foot of Siling Mountain, there are still major spiritual refining forces.

For no other reason.

Here, you can see the Holy Palace when you look up!

The Holy Palace is the highest institution of learning in the minds of the major spiritual refiners in the five regions of the continent, a paradise that can be compared with the Holy Mountain of Guizhe, and a place where saints make their fortunes.

There is a saying that "at the beginning of the mysterious clouds, the foot of Siling Mountain is called another world, and the old saint wanders in the ups and downs of the world. One blue and one yellow are immortals."

At the foot of Siling Mountain, too many people have seen the legendary semi-saints of the continent enter the world.

There are indeed semi-saints in this world.

But unlike the semi-saints who are higher than the peak of the human world on Guizhe Holy Mountain, the saints on Siling Mountain are the closest to the world of spiritual refinement.

They came from the bottom of the spiritual refiners, just like climbing the Siling Mountain that is high into the clouds, step by step, and reached the peak.

Just hearing about these holy traces can give people endless motivation to practice.

Not to mention that at the foot of Siling Mountain, there are indeed too many people who have seen the semi-saints enter the world and received guidance.

The reason why the Holy Palace is the Holy Palace is because of this!

…

On Siling Mountain, Thunder Peak.

A colorful divine light rose from Thunder Peak between the clouds and mist, disappeared between the clouds, and then…

“Boom!”

The sky shook, and the loud noise was deafening.

Not only can the heroes of each peak of Siling Mountain see it, but also the spiritual refinement forces and travelers at the foot of Siling Mountain can hear and see it.

"Holy relics!"

"This is a holy relics!"

Some people who come here for the first time lose their minds when they see the holy relics. Anyone who can set foot here knows that the Siling Mountain thunders day and night. It is a punishment from heaven and also an attempt by the saints.

As for what attempt it is, no one knows.

After all, how can ordinary people secretly spy on the actions of the saints?

However, just seeing the thunder calamity destroy the world, but being judged by the holy power in the middle of the peak, such a magnificent scene can make people quite enlightened.

The power of disaster has a great attraction for those who are at the top of the Zhan Dao but dare not receive the "Nine Death Thunder Tribulation".

Therefore, those who are hiding at the foot of the Siling Mountain may be able to catch at least one enlightened person at the Zhan Dao level.

These people come here because of the reputation, just to see that they can make a breakthrough.

There are those who succeed and those who fail.

Even if the base number of failures is too large, it is worth it for those who pursue the supreme way.

At least, here, you can watch the advent of the power of disaster several times a day.

But elsewhere, the way of killing is already the pinnacle.

Apart from the battle of life and death, who else can be so kind as to let outsiders observe and comprehend their own abilities?

The thunder that shocked the world finally ceased.

The birds and beasts returned to their normal state and flew calmly.

After the cry of the fairy crane, the seekers of the way on Siling Mountain returned to the state of cultivation after looking up, as if such scenes were commonplace.

Leiming Peak, the main mountain.

This mountain is the highest and greatest, but it is quiet and ethereal, as if no one has ever set foot on it.

However, between the spiritual flowers and plants that are several feet and dozens of feet high, and the peerless ancient trees that are hundreds of feet high, there is a very unique thatched cottage.

This house is very small, with only white walls but no roof.

White thatched cottage!

The glow of thunder came out from here, and after stunning the world, it also disappeared from here.

The legend of Siling Mountain came from this, and the holy relics of the white thatched cottage are also constantly circulated in the world.

Just because of this place, there is a half-saint who lives here, and his title is "Jin Zhao".

No one dares to say his real name, but it will be passed down in the world forever: Long Rongzhi!

...

"Creaky~"

The white wooden door of the thatched cottage was suddenly pushed open, and the sound it made was very difficult.

The door was only halfway open, as if it was stuck. After pushing forward twice, there was a "bang" sound, and the whole door panel fell heavily on the ground.

"Huh?"

A surprised voice came from inside.

Then the hand pushing the door was taken back, and a black-haired old man walked out.

From the disheveled hair, the dirty dust, and the faint white spots on his burnt hands, it can be seen.

This old man should have been white-haired, dressed in white clothes, with a fairy-like appearance, white hair and a young face with beautiful skin...

But now, everything is completely opposite.

"Failed again... Um!"

Long Rongzhi sighed, but was suddenly choked by himself.

Then his Adam's apple rolled and his mouth sucked.

"Ahem..."

"He~legs!"

After spitting out a sticky, black, unknown substance, Long Rongzhi felt better and waved his hand.

The holy power attracted the essence, and the spiritual energy turned into a spring.

After drinking several mouthfuls, he felt better and said with emotion:

"Sure enough, these pills that have not been subjected to the power of thunder punishment, even if they are exploded by the "Jinzhao Ningdan Technique" and swallowed before failure, are useless."

"The thunder punishment still strikes, and the pills are still unpalatable."

"Even the trace of divinity that was there before was completely dissipated before it became a pill."

"What to do?"

He scratched his head anxiously.

It seems that this is a problem that has been troubling him for a long time, and he has never found a solution.

After stumbling around for dozens of steps outside, from the broken and charred trees nearby to the tall medicinal herbs outside with divine light, Long Rongzhi turned back and stepped into the white thatched house, his mind lost.

He looked up at the sky.

The white thatched house had no roof, so it was easy to spy on everything outside.

The calamity clouds were disappearing.

The fairy clouds were floating, and the blue sky remained the same.

The explosion of the furnace could not change anything in this world. It was only a momentary fluctuation that seemed to stir up a little ripple in this endless world.

"Haven't you come yet?"

Long Rongzhi murmured.

At this moment, the cry of a crane finally reached his ears.

Outside the Thunder Peak, under the guidance of the divine light, a man in black shirt stepped lightly on the crane and landed gracefully at the door of the slightly charred white thatched house.

This was a respectful middle-aged man with thick black hair and deep eye sockets, in which were a pair of sharp eyes like hawks.

He has no eyebrows.

But the high cheekbones and brow bones are embedded in the shadows, so even if there are no eyebrows, it does not affect the complexion of this fierce-looking man.

"Master."

The man bowed slightly, with a respectful look.

"Is Xiao Lin here?"

Long Rongzhi's face was immediately filled with joy, and he waved his hand and said, "Come in, come in, Master just has a question to ask you, that is, the 'violent holy pill' has a flaw..."

Mu Lin's mouth twitched slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Wait."

"Hmm?"

Long Rongzhi stopped and said happily, "Do you have a solution?"

"No."

Mu Lin stepped into the house, stood aside, and bowed again, saying, "Your various pills will be studied later, there is no rush, and you called me here this time. Is there something urgent?"

He knew.

If he didn't ask the question in person, the master in front of him would stop him and ask him for three days and a half months without stopping.

The key is that these trivial matters are useless even if they are solved.

Today is the "Violent Saint-Breaking Pill", tomorrow is the "Super Blood-Concentrating Pill", and the day after tomorrow is the "Charming Tyrant Medicine"...

If the master could put this strange idea into the study of the way of the Saint Emperor, it is estimated that hundreds of years ago, his strength should have been able to go further.

But...

What a pity!

Mu Lin regretted that the master had entered the semi-saint stage and had not made any progress for hundreds of years.

Obviously, the Jinzhao lineage was born to fight, but he went astray and put all his energy on alchemy, which was simply a waste of talent!

But this is his master, who has brought him up from childhood to adulthood, like a father-like role.

No matter how old and confused he is, as a junior, he can only let him do what he wants and not disobey him.

"Oh."

"It seems that there is something..."

Long Rongzhi lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a long time, and finally remembered something, and began to touch his body.

After a long time, he finally found a charred piece of paper that was blown to the point of being less than half a piece from the inside of his sleeves. He then stared at the paper for a long time, "What is this?"

Mu Lin sighed, took the paper and identified it, and said, "Holy Kui paper... How did you blow it up like this?"

Holy Kui wood should be the medicinal wood in the world that is least afraid of the Jinzhao lineage.

Even if it is calcined with white flames, it will not be destroyed without half a day.

Long Rongzhi was immediately interested when he heard this.

"It was blown up!"

"Violent Saint-Breaking Pill!"

"Yes, I wanted to ask you just now. Although this pill can't help you become a saint, as long as you grasp the divinity, the explosive power can be increased by several levels. This thing can save your life. Let's study it..."

"Master!" Mu Lin interrupted, "Holy Kui paper, have you forgotten it too?"

"Hmm?"

Long Rongzhi tilted his head and said in doubt, his face emotionless.

Mu Lin sighed: "My senior brother did leave the palace decades ago and did not fulfill his obligation to support me, but I am here!"

"You don't need to worry about those trivial matters, I will handle them."

"But this holy Kui paper is the only way for you two to contact each other. You can't have forgotten it, right?"

Long Rongzhi turned his head and looked at the big bathtub that five people were hugging in front of him. He didn't say anything, just like an old man who was angry.

Mu Lin continued: "It's wrong that he didn't send you a letter or come back to see you in these years, but it's also because of this that the holy Kui paper can still be delivered, which means that the matter is serious."

As he said, he put away the completely charred half of the paper and asked: "You must have read the content on it. Now it's blown up, I can't see anything. Can you tell me so that I can do it?"

"Nothing."

Long Rongzhi didn't even turn his head.

Mu Lin sighed. He always found it difficult to match the master at this moment with the master who was once glorious and killed people with a single word decades ago.

At that time, the master was worthy of the name "Long Rongzhi".

Now, at best, he is just a "zhi"...

But he was complaining in his heart, but he dared not say it. Mu Lin pretended to turn back and said, "Master, if there is nothing else, I will leave first?"

"Wait!"

Long Rongzhi immediately stood up. Seeing his apprentice tilting his head to look at him, he pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "I called you here this time because of the method of maintaining the divinity of the 'Violent Holy Pill'. You should go back and study this thing carefully, and then tell me the solution later."

"Yes." Mu Lin nodded: "What else?"

"You haven't given me the solution to the last 'Holy Roar Heart-breaking Pill'." Long Rongzhi narrowed his eyes.

"Okay, my apprentice is almost here, she will give you the follow-up." Mu Lin said with a brow, "Then?"

"..."

After several breaths of silence, Long Rongzhi finally sighed.

"Then there's one more little thing... Something should have happened to your senior brother. You should investigate. He summoned us and found out that there is an apprentice named Xu Xiaoshou in the Eastern Region."

The words stopped abruptly.

After Long Rongzhi finished speaking quickly, he sat down again, looking at the alchemy furnace with an expression that said, "That's all, you can do it, I'm going to make the elixir."

"good."

Mu Lin raised the corners of her lips, and without asking any further questions, she nodded and turned around to leave.

He had already known that something happened to his senior brother, and he only waited for the master to tell him about it, hoping that it would melt the ice in his heart.

As for having an apprentice...

"Xu Xiaoshou, right?"

Mu Lin pondered, this matter is easy to handle, the problem can be solved in one sentence.

"Snapped!"

The wooden door was put back on.

Through the white thatched hut, Long Rongzhi looked at Mu Lin who was leaving quickly, and his expression became serious.

In his whole life, he had a total of two apprentices.

The eldest brother, Sang Qiye, and the second child, Mu Lin, were both the thorns in their hearts that were tortured from the beginning.

However, their development paths are completely opposite.

I thought that the boss, who had a relatively peaceful personality, would stay with me, but I never thought that the boy would be the first to leave, even with hatred.

The second child, who is known for being sullen and ruthless, is actually the one who pays most attention to emotions.

Over the years, except for going out on missions, I basically served him in the Holy Palace, without any complaints, and never left.

"Xiao Sang..."

Long Rongzhi murmured a little absently, suddenly thought of something, stood up, and knocked the wooden door away with a bang.

"Holy Kui paper! Give it back to me, give it back to me!"

Mu Lin, who was riding a crane, didn't even look back: "At the door."

Long Rongzhi was startled, turned around, and kicked the door panel open. The blackened half piece of Holy Kui paper lay alone.

He picked it up like a treasure, took it back carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound in the house, and then the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

Long Rongzhi's old eyes widened, and he realized that when he was lost in concentration just now, the liquid in the alchemy cauldron was out of control.

He tried to turn around to remedy the situation, but with a loud bang, a beam of divine light burst into the sky.

Then the sky thunder shook and rumbled.

A burning smell instantly spread from the surroundings of the white thatched cottage.

"Holy miracle!"

"God, it's another holy miracle. This time the interval is so short. The saint is taking pity on us again."

"If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."

At the foot of Siling Mountain, people looking up into the sky cheered again.

…

"Bai Zian."

"Yes, Master."

"I heard that you have a new female apprentice. Is her qualifications acceptable?"

In the spiritual residence, Mu Lin looked at the man in white.

This is his only disciple who has grown up, and he is currently the person in charge of Jinzhao's line among the four lines of the Holy Palace.

"Yes."

Bai Jian nodded and said: "Although she is born as a girl, she has a strong will and can bear the pain. She has a militant personality and is not inferior to others. She is not obsessed with alchemy. Master, don't worry."

Mu Lin nodded slightly, his face expressionless.

"I'm calling you here for two reasons."

He raised his first finger and said: "First, go to Guizhe Holy Mountain. There is a person you want to protect, named Sang Qiye. If you can't do it, come and see him."

Bai Zian was startled.

He knew that his master was resolute and vicious in his work, but in the past, when he assigned tasks, he had never had such terrible consequences!

This "mulberry seven leaves"...

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zian felt that the name sounded familiar.

"Saint slave?"

His heart suddenly twitched.

Isn't Sang Qiye the second-in-command of the Holy Slaves that has been rumored recently, and the greatest achievement of the Holy Temple's siege of the White Cave in the Eastern Region?

"Yes, your uncle."

Mu Lin said calmly: "Next time, be careful not to use the word 'saint slave' again. If your master hears about this, then just kill yourself."

"Well!"

Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Bai Zian's forehead, "Okay... But, he is a saint after all... Well, after all, he was caught by the Holy Temple. How can you protect such a big thing?"

Mu Lin frowned when he heard this: "You ask me?"

Bai Zian retreated in fright.

"No, no, I'm just curious, that's all! This is something I should consider, and I will take care of it later."

After a pause, he quickly changed the subject.

"What about the second thing?"

…

Bai Zianling lives inside.

"Hua Shi."

"Yes, Master!"

There was a sudden shout.

The girl was carrying the Great Alchemy Cauldron, her big eyes widened with reverence.

Bai Zian closed his eyes, then rubbed his ears, opened his eyes and looked at the blood-stained Great Alchemy Cauldron on his disciple's back.

"You killed someone again?"

"No! Master!"

Hua Xi solemnly said: "There is a guy who is ignorant and treats the elixirs of my Jinzhao lineage as dirt. I have trained him and he is much more cheerful now!"

"You made the elixir, right?" Bai Qian sighed.

"yes!"

Huazhi's sapphire-like eyes sparkled, and he added: "It's the 'Kong Ming Dan' newly taught to me by my master. As you said, the recipe comes from my ancestor, so it's from the Jinzhao lineage!"

Bai Zian was silent.

When she is silent, this disciple is a very refined woman, but this character...

She only dared not to be presumptuous in front of me, right?

Bai Shi heard that all the peers in the entire Holy Palace who dared not buy her alchemy were blasted and refined by the big cauldron.

I don’t know if it is really a good thing to ask her to go out this time?

It shouldn’t cause any trouble, after all, she has to go out to experience some... After a little thought in her heart, Bai Shi made a decision.

“Master will leave the Holy Palace and go to Guizhe Holy Mountain for a while to meet someone.”

Before he finished speaking, Hua Shi’s eyes suddenly lit up: “How long?!”

Bai Shi: “…”

He gave this apprentice a hard slap, “Don’t think about causing trouble! During this period, you also have a mission!”

“Oh.”

Hua Shi’s eyes dimmed instantly, and her mouth pouted. She doesn’t like missions, she likes to beat people.

"What mission?"

Bai Shi took out an envelope from his bosom, holding it with great hesitation, but finally handed it over and said: "Go to the East Region, in the East Heaven Realm, find a person named Xu Xiaoshou, and give this thing to him."

"Leave the Holy Palace?!"

Hua Xian raised his head, his big eyes full of excitement.

"Bang!"

Bai Shi knocked his head hard again and cursed: "This mission was assigned by your pastor ancestor. Seriously, if you can't complete it, you... you don't have to come back."

"Don't have to come back?" Hua Xian didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and became even more excited.

Bai Shi's face became serious: "You don't need to come back, it means you are expelled from the sect."

"Uh."

This time, Hua Jian froze, looking embarrassed, and asked again: "Who is he, what's his name? What's the mission? Can I see this envelope? By the way, East Region? Where are you going?"

Bai Shi: "..."

"For the last time!"

He slapped the confused girl's head in anger, and said heavily: "In Dongtianwang City, find someone, Xu Xiaoshou, and give him the envelope!"

"Oh, Xu Xiaoshou, who is it?"

"Your master's master's master's brother's apprentice, the only apprentice, if you mess up this, do you know the consequences?"

Hua Jian was confused for a while, and after a long time, he was shocked and said: "My uncle?"

"Your uncle!" Bai Shi roared.

"Oh oh oh."

Hua Jian realized the difficulty of the task.

Master's brother?

That's a bit difficult!

"Master uncle... is he also from the Jinzhao lineage? Is he easy to get along with? Is he as good-tempered as you, Master? Or is he the type of Master, with a gloomy personality? How old is he? Is he scary? Does he eat..."

"Shut up!!!"

"Oh."

Hua Guan suddenly kept silent, and after a long time, he opened his lips and blinked: "How can I find him?"

Bai Fu was angry: "You ask me?"

"Oh, this is what I should consider. It's my mission, right!"

Hua Guan immediately patted his chest and said tremblingly: "Okay, I will complete the mission!"

Then he seemed to be discouraged, and his eyes lost their spirit.

How to find someone without any information?

"You have to reveal some information. What if he is like Master, I dare not approach him..." Hua Guan still couldn't help but speak.

"Alas."

Bai Fu sighed.

His master Mu Lin didn't actually give much information, just the name and location.

But to be the disciple of my uncle, that is, my senior brother whom I have never met...

No matter what, he must be very strong, right?

"Your uncle... that is, the Sang master that I told you about, is a genius who crushed a generation of people in the Holy Palace, which naturally includes your pastor ancestor."

"His disciple, no matter what, is better than your master, since he is not famous all over the world, it means that he is a low-key person."

"But no matter how low-key he is, his ability is there, at least he is famous."

"If you are looking for someone... Although the East Region is very large, you should be able to know everything about such people after you go to the East Heaven Realm."

Bai Fu was not as ruthless as his own master Mu Lin after all.

He didn't say anything, but asked his disciple to carry out the mission.

For Hua Guan, this disciple, except for being too belligerent, he was quite satisfied with everything else.

Especially the fact that the path of alchemy was destined to have no future.

In this way, he didn't need to be told too much by his master.

Jinzhao, the semi-saint, was too obsessed with alchemy, which led to Lord Mulin's strong aversion to alchemy. Everyone in the Saint Palace knew this.

"Go!"

Bai Shi waved his hand and didn't want to say more.

He still had his own things to do, and if he couldn't complete one thing, he would have to come back with his head.

I don't know if I can see this disciple again after this trip...

Master Sang...

Alas!

The affairs of the Saint Palace are already busy enough. This trip out, whether there will be any results or not, will be busy again when I come back.

Moreover, it is stuck at the time when the Saint Palace trial is about to start.

Two words, difficult.

"Okay!"

Hua Qian smiled heartlessly and jumped to accept the order.

The big tripod on his back bounced with the person jumping, and each time it was a dull sound, and there was a faint wailing sound.

Bai Shi was absent-minded and didn't notice it at all.

"Shut up."

But the disciple's stern low scolding, on the contrary, made him understand something.

After a moment of shock, Bai Shi became furious.

"Hua Qian, let the man out! Do you still want to refine him to death? This is simply lawless!"
