Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 131 Crane Girl
Facing the morning sun, a crane spread its wings and flew high. Its feathers were pure white, like clouds falling into the mortal world, or like the first snow covering the mountains and rivers.

Its gauze-like wings fluttered gently, with extraordinary grace. Its melodious chirping sounded like an ancient call, penetrating the clouds and echoing under the blue curtain.

In the distance, a divine rainbow pierced through the void and traveled at an extremely fast speed.

"What a charming white crane!"

A figure appeared in the escaping light.

This is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in white, with a jade belt around her waist, her skin is as white as cream, her eyes are like flowing water waves, like thin clouds covering the bright moon, like flowing light accompanying the moonlight, her long skirt fluttering, like a fairy in the sky.

"It's great to use as a mount!"

The white-clothed girl's eyes lit up, and she gave a light rebuke. A red light burst out from her hand and transformed into a large red net. The threads of the net were crystal clear, and tiny talismans were faintly visible on it. The whole net was flashing a bright red light, as if it was made of red agate, and it moved towards the crane.

The crane let out a rapid cry, trying to escape the red net.

However, this red net was a mid-grade spiritual weapon, boundless and endless, like a sky curtain, and it quickly enveloped the crane.

It struggled, but to no avail.

In the distance, Xia Chen heard the mournful cry of a crane and realized that it was in danger.

I was slightly delighted, as it turned out to be just as the script said.

He immediately increased his speed and transformed into a divine rainbow.

Soon, the crane caught in the net was seen.

"Fairy, this is my mountain guardian bird, I hope you will return it to me!"

Xia Chen bowed from a distance with a calm expression.

But I was a little shocked in my heart.

This girl was none other than the senior sister of the Huangquan Sect, Yao Yueer.

After not seeing each other for several years, his cultivation level has now reached the same level as Lu Bai's, and he has entered the late stage of foundation building.

It can be said that the progress is rapid.

"You, a cultivator, are full of nonsense, but this is clearly a wild white crane. How can it be your mountain guardian bird?"

Yao Yue'er sneered and naturally didn't believe this reason.

At the same time, he was secretly alert in his heart. The purple-gold Taoist robe of this cultivator was clearly the unique attire of the master of the Tianyan Immortal Sect.

"Since the fairy doesn't believe me, then I can only prove it with my own hands!"

Xia Chen sighed slightly.

In fact, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Huangquan Sect at this critical juncture.

The leader of Tianyan Sect, Li Shuijing, has not much time left to live. Before his death, he must use military force against Huangquan Sect and seize a fourth-level spiritual vein for his sect.

The Huangquan Sect also knows this clearly.

But neither side is sure of defeating the other, so a delicate balance is still maintained.

If this balance is broken by him, then Mangdang Mountain will most likely become a battlefield for the two factions to fight.

It would be fine if the Tianyan Immortal Sect won.

But if he loses, the fate of him, the person who fired the first shot, will be worrying.

However, the Gratitude Crane Set item is a fragment-type item.

If the crane cannot be saved, it will surely disappear.

As for repaying the favor later, of course there wasn't any.

Xia Chen shouted softly, and with a shake of his hand, he summoned seven formation flags, covering Yao Yueer's area. The surroundings suddenly became misty and covered with rune prohibitions.

The seven formation flags fluttered, generating countless sword energies that sealed off this small world. The sword energies crisscrossed the void, reversing yin and yang and disrupting the universe.

Yao Yue'er sacrificed a jade bead the size of an egg, which was suspended above her head and emitted thousands of rays of light. Countless golden clouds emerged from the bead, and the wind and clouds changed, transforming into endless golden flowers, which could resist the sword energy in the sky!
"What a magic weapon!"

Xia Chen exclaimed in praise.

This jade bead the size of an egg is a rare and top-grade spiritual weapon with unparalleled defensive capabilities.

After all, she is the eldest sister of the Huangquan Sect, and the resources she possesses are unimaginable.

Xia Chen pointed with one hand, and a black and gold sword light flew through the air with a swish, and the next moment it flew hundreds of meters away, and the sword light flew like a lightning bolt!
I don’t know how many golden flowers shattered and turned into yellow smoke.

However, the jade bead shone brightly, one golden flower was annihilated, and ten new golden flowers were born again, one after another.

This long sword was obtained from Gu Ang. It is a mid-grade spiritual weapon and is extremely sharp. However, it is still extremely difficult to break through the defense of the jade bead.

Afterwards, he took out an ancient mirror with flowing cloud patterns printed on it. It was made of crystal jade and was incredibly powerful!
I saw brilliant rays of light flowing on the mirror, bursting out with unimaginable power.

The golden flowers were annihilated one by one under the golden light.

Although new flowers are constantly produced, the speed is obviously not as fast as before.

After being tempered by the old clam's pearl, Xia Chen's current body, magic power and soul have reached a terrifying level.

In terms of strength, he is not inferior to Lu Mingyuan, who has reached the great perfection of foundation building.

He originally wanted to test the strength of his own body. After all, he had already made some progress in "The True Explanation of Dragon and Demon".

With physical strength alone, he can fight against a top-grade second-level monster.

However, this place is close to the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains. If the attack fails after a long time, it will attract the strong men from the Huangquan Sect, which will be very bad.

In order to end the battle quickly, Xia Chen took out five toy soldiers that were over a foot tall from his treasure bag. They were dressed in neat and uniform clothes, standing in the air, holding a black weapon in their hands that emitted a cold and eerie light.

The puppet in the middle was holding a slightly curved sword.

"I command you to attack it!" Xia Chen gave the order.

The voice just fell.

The captain in the middle immediately drew out his sword and pointed it at the center with murderous intent.

The four soldiers on both sides immediately knelt on one knee and aimed their guns.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang…”

Countless bullets fired out.

A terrifying and surging energy suddenly erupted around Yao Yue'er, like a landslide or tsunami, one wave after another, and countless golden flowers disappeared.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and her face turned slightly pale.

Even with a treasure like the Tianyun Golden Flower Pearl, it would be difficult to withstand such a terrifying attack.

She wanted to send out a message and seek help from the elders of the church.

But now he is in a large formation, cut off from all contact with the outside world.

"Fairy, this crane is indeed my mountain guardian bird. Please return it. As long as you agree, I can immediately remove the formation and let you leave safely!"

Xia Chen temporarily stopped the toy army's attack.

The toy army has been upgraded to D-level by itself, and its firepower is extremely fierce.

However, the amount of spirit stones consumed is also huge. Every bullet they shoot is worth a lot of spirit stones.

After all, she is the eldest sister of the younger generation of the Huangquan Sect, which is equivalent to the "saint" level figure.

If they were to kill or capture him, the Huangquan Cult would go crazy.

This is an ancient sect that is as famous as the Tianyan Immortal Sect. It has a terrifyingly deep foundation and has produced many Nascent Soul True Lords.

There are probably a few magical weapons of Taoist level.

If the truth is finally revealed, the consequences will definitely be something I cannot bear.

Yao Yue'er is arrogant by nature.

But at this time, she was indeed under the eaves and had to bow her head. She thought for a moment and smiled: "Since it is the Taoist's mountain-guarding spiritual bird, then it is my little girl Meng Lang!"

After saying this, he put away the big red net, revealing the shape of a crane.

Xia Chen also followed his promise and removed the Seven Absolute Formation, revealing the scene outside.

The crane let out a low cry, then flapped its wings and disappeared into the sky.

The corners of Yao Yue'er's mouth twitched.

I really don’t know what’s wrong with the brain of the leader of Tianyan Sect in front of me?
This crane was obviously not familiar with him.

And don't chase after it if it flies away.

What picture?

Could it be that he doesn't like me?

Or did he know about my identity as a disciple of Huangquan Sect and came to cause trouble on purpose?
But she had no time to care about this. Holding the egg-sized gem in her hand, she flew away on her sword and also disappeared into the sky.

Xia Chen waved his robe in his right hand and collected the toy soldier standing in the void.

This can be regarded as one of his most powerful props at present.

As for Wagui, he was also upgraded to C level.

In terms of power alone, it is stronger than the toy army.

After all, there are five toy legions, so their power is somewhat dispersed.

Wa Gui is now guarding Mangdang Mountain, and even if a low-grade third-level monster attacks, he can hold out for a while.

As for the Dingdang Building in Tianshui City, it is basically a replica of the tile ghost and toy army made by Gugu. It is level D and is enough to deal with most cultivators in the foundation-building period.

After returning to the peak master's hall, Xia Chen began to wait.

At noon the next day, there was finally movement.

The weather outside suddenly changed. The sky was originally cloudless and the sun was shining brightly.

But in the blink of an eye, it became dark, dark clouds rolled in, the wind howled, the sky was gloomy and the earth was dark. In the high sky, there were flashes of lightning, illuminating the sky and the earth.

"Boom!"

The sky trembled, and silver snakes tore through the sky. Heavy rain poured down like a waterfall.

The entire vast landscape was covered in heavy rain.

It's like using a weather box and a weather satellite at the same time.

Outside the hall, a pleasant voice came: "It's raining heavily outside. I wonder if the owner of this place would allow me to stay for one night!"

Xia Chen walked out of the hall.

Under the eaves, there stood a young girl of about 21 or 22 years old, wearing classical palace clothing, wearing incense necklaces, with skin as soft as snow and a slender waist. She had a nine-phoenix hairpin in her hair and a necklace of magical beads hanging from her head. She was elegant and graceful, with an extraordinary bearing.

A faint light emanated from his body, blocking the wind and rain coming from not far away.

"Of course you can, fairy, please come in and take shelter from the rain!" Xia Chen made a gesture of invitation.

After sitting down, Xia Chen brewed a cup of spiritual tea and said, "Fairy, why not drink some tea to warm your body!"

The girl took a sip and said, "To thank you for your kindness, please let me do something. What do you need?"

Xia Chen had already thought of an excuse, so he quickly said, "I wonder if the fairy can draw a better item for me!"

"Props? What are props?"

The girl transformed from a crane tilted her head, a little puzzled.

Xia Chen pondered in his heart, it seemed that the system did not inject matters related to props into the crane girl's mind.

In this way, he naturally cannot interfere with the system like the Taihua Immortal.

Moreover, the Gratitude Crane Combination is only a D-level item after all. Even if one knew about this, it would probably be difficult to meet this requirement.

Now it seems that the only thing I can do is make another wish.

magic weapon?

The Crane Girl is only a D-level prop. If she were asked to refine a magic weapon of the treasure level, it would be too difficult for her.

The same is true for third-level elixirs.

After some thought, Xia Chen said solemnly: "Three thousand years ago, there was a sect in the Wu Kingdom called the Beast Emperor Sect, which was able to control all the beasts in the world and use monsters to fight against the enemy. Fairy, please write down the Beast Emperor Sect's method of controlling beasts."

Mangdang Mountain was newly built and had a shallow foundation. The disciples were still weak and could not be compared with the six peaks of the Tianyan Immortal Sect.

Any one of them can stand on equal footing with big sects like Liuyun Sect in the outside world.

Some even go beyond that.

This is the terrifying thing about the Tianyan Immortal Sect, which is unique in the world of immortal cultivation in Jin State.

But now the Supreme Master Li Shuijing has not much time left. Once he dies, there will be a complete reshuffle within the Immortal Sect.

Therefore, Xia Chen is eager to improve his own strength and that of Mangdang Mountain, so as to gain the upper hand in the upcoming reshuffle.

What is not lacking in the Ten Thousand Mountains?
It’s that terrifying monster!

If we could possess the beast-taming method of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and tame some powerful monsters, it would greatly enhance the foundation of Mangdang Mountain.

Xia Chen has a series of props including cats that attract customers, gravity adjustment machines, toy armies, tile ghosts, tiger tail sets, etc.

When combined together, they can easily capture some second-level monsters.

The crane girl stood up and came to a side hall. She held the door with her jade hand and said shyly:

"Please don't peek, Taoist priest!"

Xia Chen cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, fairy, I will definitely not peek!"

Afterwards, the crane girl closed the door and began to play.

According to the system, as long as you open the door and peek, the crane girl will turn into smoke and disappear.

Xia Chen stood far away, his eyes flashing, and he used his superpower of X-ray vision to check the situation inside.

Anyway, the door was not opened, so it shouldn't be considered a violation of the regulations.

Through the gate, he saw a hazy figure, which seemed to be the body of a crane. It was not clear, as if it was a mirage, or smoke and fog.

It seems that the Crane Girl still has some strength.

If the item levels can be further subdivided, she should have D+ strength.

Afterwards, many strange noises were heard from the side hall.

It sounded like the cry of a bird, the moan of a young girl, or the talk of animals in the woods, but it was hard to make out clearly.

There seems to be some special magic in the sound, which arouses the most primitive curiosity in people's hearts.

After hearing this, Xia Chen felt itchy in his heart and couldn't help but want to open the door and satisfy his inner desire.

Fortunately, he was strong inside and was able to control himself.

About six hours passed.

The noise from inside the door gradually died down.

Then, a "squeaking" sound was heard.

The door opened and the girl walked out with a jade slip in her hand.

"Master, I am the white crane you rescued earlier. This jade slip is my way of repaying you for saving my life!"

After the girl handed over the jade slip, a pink smoke burst out from her body, and then she turned into a crane, flew out of the palace, and disappeared into the sky.
