Chapter 459 Li Mufeng's Concerns
Guiyunfang, in a magnificent, tall and gorgeous hall.
Lv Boyang, the Jindan elder stationed in Guiyunfang of Xiaoyao Sect, is sitting in the center of the hall, meditating with his eyes closed.
Lv Boyang, who has been practicing for nearly four hundred years, is considered a veteran Jindan Zhenren in Xiaoyao Sect. A hundred years ago, during the last chaos of monsters in the northern border, he led the cultivators of Jiangling County of Weiguo to block the attack of the White Lion Demon King in Huoyun Mountain, Pingyang County, and once recaptured Jinshanfang, which had been occupied by monsters.
If it weren't for the sneak attack by the cunning demon king Jiuwen Jiao, Lv Boyang should have been able to easily defend the battlefield in the northeast of Weiguo during the last monster chaos, and the entire Jinshanfang battlefield would not have suffered such a heavy loss in the end.
Compared with Lv Boyang's cultivation level of only the fourth level of Jindan a hundred years ago, he has now cultivated to the sixth level of Jindan, and his strength has improved a lot compared to that year.
However, Lv Boyang's cultivation speed is not very outstanding among Jindan cultivators. It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to break through the late Jindan stage in his lifetime, let alone the Yuanying stage.
Just as Lv Boyang was meditating and practicing, a white sound transmission note suddenly flew in from outside the door and fell into his hands.
Lv Boyang, whose practice was interrupted, opened his eyes and looked at the sound transmission note with some displeasure, then raised his hand to cast a spell to remove the restriction at the door of the hall.
"Qingyun, come in!"
As Lv Boyang finished speaking, a young man in gray immediately walked into the hall quickly and stepped forward to pay a respectful salute to Lv Boyang.
"Master, Junior Brother Liu Yuan just reported that he saw a strange Jindan cultivator passing by Chiyan Mountain and heading south. Moreover, this person looked strange and did not seem to be another elder of the sect."
After listening to the words of the gray-clothed man, Lu Boyang thought for a moment, stood up with a strange look on his face and said, "Except for Junior Brother Chen who has not returned from his travels, the other elders have been in the sect recently. How could someone suddenly come to the north? Could it be that the one from Tiexian Fort has come out again?
Go and call Liu Yuan over and tell me the details of what you saw again to see if the people from the Ma family can't sit still again."
After the gray-clothed man went out for a while, he quickly brought back a Xiaoyao Sect cultivator in the same clothes to the hall. This person was the Xiaoyao Sect foundation-building cultivator who happened to see Song Qingming passing by not long ago.
——
Xiaoyao Sect, in a hidden cave on the top of Guyang Mountain.
The spiritual energy in this cave is very rich, reaching the level of the fourth-level middle-grade spiritual vein. It is the best place for cultivation in the entire Guyang Mountain. It is also the retreat cave of Li Mufeng, the only Yuanying cultivator of Xiaoyao Sect and the Grand Elder.
At this moment, in Li Mufeng's cave, there is another Jindan cultivator, Yao Qianshu, the head of Xiaoyao Sect.
Compared with Li Mufeng's ruddy face, Yao Qianshu's complexion is very bad, and he looks like he has suffered a lot.
"Qian Shu, this Snow Lotus Pill will be of some use to your injuries. Take it and take the time to treat your injuries and try to recover as soon as possible."
After taking a red pill from Li Mufeng, Yao Qian Shu said with a guilty look on his face: "It's all because of my dull talent. I failed twice in my attempts to reach the Nascent Soul stage. I also asked Master Li to go out and find healing pills for me. I feel really bad about it."
"Supporting you to form a Nascent Soul first is an idea I have discussed with everyone and thought about again and again. Qian Shu, don't feel guilty about it. It will also be detrimental to your future practice."
Hearing Li Mufeng's patient words of comfort beside him, Yao Qian Shu still felt a little uneasy. He sighed and said: "Now that the monster turmoil in the northern border is coming, Senior Brother Wu is no longer here, and I am also worried about the formation of the Nascent Soul. The infant failed and could not contribute to the sect for the time being. This time, it is difficult for our Weiguo to survive this monster turmoil smoothly.
If the infant spirit object was not wasted on me this time, but left to Junior Sister Bai, the sect would not be in the current predicament. "
Li Mufeng waved his hand and said, "You stay here to recuperate, and don't think too much about the outside world. I have sent people to contact Xuanyue Sect and Zhenyang Sect. If the war is tight at that time, at most, we can give them some benefits from the south and deal with this monster turmoil first. "
Hearing that Li Mufeng had made a decision in his heart, Yao Qianshu opened his mouth and said nothing. He nodded gently and swallowed the "Snow Lotus Pill" he had just obtained, and began to control the magic power to refine this very precious high-level pill in his body.
Seeing this, Li Mufeng nodded with relief, walked out of the cave directly, and turned his eyes to the far north of Weiguo.
In the past hundred years, Xiaoyao Sect has received a lot of intelligence, and many high-level monsters have appeared in the north, which has put more and more pressure on Xiaoyao Sect to control Weiguo.
Compared with the increasingly powerful monsters, the entire Weiguo cultivation world has been very unlucky in the past few decades. The life span of Chen Laozu of Tuoyun Mountain is not much, and it is basically certain that he will not be able to participate in the war.
In addition, more than ten years ago, a powerful late Jindan elder in Xiaoyao Sect passed away, and Xiaoyao Sect leader Yao Qianshu failed to break through the Nascent Soul ten years ago, and his injuries have not recovered until now. In the past twenty years, Weiguo has lost three powerful late Jindan fighters, and its own strength has become much weaker than a hundred years ago.
At Jinyu Mountain, Li Mufeng witnessed the Nascent Soul's tribulation. Now there is another Nascent Soul Demon King in the north of Weiguo. Although the agreement between Jinyu Mountain and Xiaoyao Sect is still there, it is already in jeopardy. This is the real reason why Li Mufeng is eager to support Yao Qianshu to break through the Nascent Soul.
Li Mufeng, who is now standing on Guyang Mountain, is also a little sad that the sect has been unlucky in recent years. Among the many Jindan cultivators in the sect, only Yao Qianshu and Bai Yuxian have the opportunity to break through the Nascent Soul.
Although Bai Yuxian has better talent, she has practiced for a short time and her cultivation is still at the eighth level of Jindan. She just started to retreat and prepare to break through the ninth level of Jindan not long ago. She is still some distance away from the step of forming a Nascent Soul.
The head of the sect, Yao Qianshu, had cultivated to the peak of Jindan more than a hundred years ago. His conditions in all aspects have been met to break through the Nascent Soul. However, Yao Qianshu has formed a Nascent Soul twice in the past hundred years, but both failed, and he could not even trigger the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation.
Yao Qianshu is now approaching 500 years old, and among the Jindan cultivators, he is already considered to have exhausted his potential. It seems that the Xiaoyao Sect leader will not have the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage next time.
After standing on the top of Guyang Mountain and thinking for a while, Li Mufeng sighed and turned to the Xiaoyao Sect's General Affairs Hall.
On duty here is the Xiaoyao Sect's general affairs elder Guangling Zhenren. His life span is even longer than that of the leader Yao Qianshu. His cultivation is only at the fifth level of Jindan, and now he is the oldest Jindan cultivator in the Xiaoyao Sect.
Since Guangling Zhenren formed the Dan, his personal path has been very unsuccessful. It took him more than 200 years to break through to the middle stage of Jindan. Because he knew that his potential had been exhausted, he took on the most busy job in the sect's General Affairs Hall early.
"Uncle Li, Junior Brother Lu from Guiyunfang sent a message yesterday using the Wanli Note Transmission. Someone near Guiyunfang saw a strange Jindan cultivator heading towards Jiangling County." Seeing the sudden appearance of Li Mufeng, the Guangling Immortal, whose face was already showing signs of old age, hurried forward and saluted.
After hearing this, Li Mufeng looked puzzled and asked, "Strange Jindan cultivator, now that the monster riot is approaching, the major sects around are preparing for war. There shouldn't be any Jindan cultivator who would be so leisurely to wander around the Floating Cloud Mountains at this time. Did Boyang make a mistake?"
Hearing Li Mufeng's doubts, Guangling Immortal shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Lu has confirmed it again and again in the letter. Although this person's speed of escape is not fast and it seems that he has just formed a pill not long ago, he is indeed a genuine Jindan cultivator. The only person who saw this person's whereabouts is a Guiyunfang. In addition to the recent independent cultivators, there is also a foundation-building disciple from the sect, so I think it should be correct. "
"The situation is unstable now. We don't know what the purpose of this person going to Jiangling County is. You should spread the news to several markets there first, and let them pay attention to whether there are any strange Jindan cultivators recently.
Also, notify the Law Enforcement Hall and let several disciples of the Wutong Sect go to Jiangling County to check. If this person comes with bad intentions, we must make some preparations as soon as possible to avoid being taken advantage of by others. "Li Mufeng ordered with a serious face.
Now that the monster riot is imminent, the Xiaoyao Sect's own situation is not good, and another strange Jindan cultivator appears in the territory of Weiguo. Li Mufeng also has a hint of worry in his heart.
After Guangling Zhenren agreed, he hesitated for a moment, then said: "Uncle Li, there is one more thing. Tiexian Fort has sent us a message again, urging us to send people to help them as soon as possible. Do you think we should reply to them this time?"
Hearing Guangling Zhenren mention Tiexian Fort, Li Mufeng's face suddenly changed slightly, and he replied unceremoniously:
"Hmph! Usually you always think about the little things in your bowl, but now you know to ask the sect for help when you encounter difficulties. Don't worry about them for now, just write a letter to Ma Hongshan to appease him, and wait until we repel the monsters in Guiyunfang first, and then send people to support them."
——
Although it has only been a short time since the formation of the elixir, Song Qingming's escape speed is far beyond that of the foundation-building cultivators. After crossing Guiyunfang and entering the territory of Weiguo, it only took him two days to rush back to Qinghe County.
As a ray of green light fell, Song Qingming finally appeared at the foot of Funiu Mountain. After taking a look at Funiu Mountain, which he had not seen for a long time, Song Qingming showed a happy smile on his face.
Two Song family monks who were patrolling the mountain gate saw a man in a green robe who was not wearing Song family clothes walking towards them from a distance. The two of them hurriedly took out their magic tools and showed a vigilant look.
When the man in the green robe approached, the two found that the man looked familiar. After recognizing his identity, they hurriedly put away the magic tools in their hands with a happy look on their faces and bowed to the ground.
"Greetings, clan leader!"
