I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 80:79: Got the news, Chiwuling, the essence of the spiritual sand
Ling Miao looked at the two of them and said, "I need fire spiritual objects to refine into magic tools in order to practice magic."

"Senior Sister, do you want us to hunt the exotic beast Red Eagle for you?" Ji Yuan pondered.

Ling Miao shook his head: "The red eagle is a divine beast, born with magical powers. It is beyond the power of the two of you to deal with it. I just need you to take some items to Beiyang and help me bring back a fire treasure."

It turned out that Ling Miao had not given up on practicing magic since the vulture feather he used to hunt fire was stolen last time. Instead, he used his family's power to inquire about Ling Yu's whereabouts.

The Gu family, to which Gu Lingmiao belongs, is a distant branch of the Xuanwei Sect's main clan, the Gu family. The Gu family has many descendants, who are spread across the six realms and various sects, and are well-known in the heavens for being well-informed.

The Xiao family, the royal family of the Beiyang Dynasty in Zhongzhou, has a treasure, the Red Crow Feather; they agree to exchange it for Gu Lingmiao in exchange for 20,000 kilograms of spiritual sand and 3,000 bottles of cold pond essence.

Therefore, Gu Lingmiao's intention was to let Ji Yuan and the other two take the 20,000 kilograms of spiritual sand to the Beiyang Dynasty and hand it over to Xiao Siyuan, the ancestor of the Xiao family, in exchange for the Red Crow Feather.

“Since the Red Crow Feather is so important to you, why don’t you go there yourself?” Ji Yuan asked in confusion.

The Red Crow Feather is the essence of the sun, the feather of the ancient mythical beast the three-legged Red Crow. It possesses the fire of the sun and is an extremely powerful rare treasure.

Moreover, twenty thousand kilograms of spiritual sand is no small amount; it is worth millions of merit points, and three thousand bottles of cold pond essence are also worth three million merit points.

This amount of merit is probably the accumulation of all the merits of hundreds of cultivators during the heyday of Tenghai Peak over five or six hundred years.

Isn't Lingmiao afraid that something might go wrong and she'll burn all of this?

"Of course I will go; but the news has been exposed. I estimate that Shangxuan Peak, Wuyin Peak, Wugu Peak, Yujing Peak, and Mingshu Peak will rob and kill us along the way; so we have to split our forces into two groups, one light and one dark."

The masters of these five peaks, like Ling Miao, are strong contenders for the true inheritance of this generation. They have had a feud for more than a hundred years, especially Mingshu Peak and Wuyin Peak, which were both bullied by Ling Miao.

Even the ones who robbed and killed Ling Miao and his group last time were most likely these Five Peaks cultivators.

As the time for selecting the true disciples approaches, there have been undercurrents and constant fighting among the hundreds of thousands of inner disciples and thousands of peak masters.

Some formed groups to rob and kill the enemy factions; some robbed the opponent's tokens and seized merit points; and some took this opportunity to resolve years of grudges.

Inside the Immortal Gate, there is peace; but outside the Immortal Gate, there is a raging aura of disaster, which makes people feel murderous.

This is also tacitly approved by the religion; it is a calamity, but also an opportunity; if one is not capable enough and is beaten and killed by others, it is a calamity; if one can beat and kill others and gain their accumulation of dozens or hundreds of years, this is seizing their luck.

And when calamity comes, there is another benefit, which is that the destiny and the secrets of the universe become hazy.

"This matter must be dangerous, otherwise I would not have asked you two junior brothers to help me; of course, I will not let you do it in vain."

Gu Lingmiao looked at the two with her beautiful eyes and held up two fingers: "If this is accomplished, each of you will receive 100,000 merits."

This is an extremely high reward.

Upon hearing this, the other Tenghai monks in the hall began to breathe rapidly, looking at Ji Yuan and the other two with greed and jealousy. That was 100,000 merits!
Chen Hai also looked at Ji Yuan with some interest. One hundred thousand merits was equivalent to two and a half years’ salary.

Ji Yuan shook his head: "It's not that I don't agree, but my magic is low and my Tao power is shallow. I'm afraid that I will make things difficult for Senior Sister."

If I remember correctly, one of Gu Lingmiao's so-called great enemies, Ling Che, the master of Shangxuan Peak, once tried to seize the wood marrow in Zhaoyue Wilderness and was beaten up by the Tongxuan strongman Jie Xuan.

Jie Xuan was ambushed by Ji Yuan and his wood marrow was stolen.

Ling Che was astonished at the time and even clamored to become the true disciple and take the 'Green-robed Patriarch' as ​​his master.

The Liyang Dynasty is one of the many dynasties in Zhongzhou, and its straight-line distance from Kunwu is more than 370,000 miles; for the Qi-refining practitioners who can fly and hide underground, it is not far.

But if there are delays on the way, it will probably take several months to go back and forth.

Based on Ji Yuan's current salary of 24,000 points per month as the school financial deacon, it would be almost 100,000 points in four months.

If he had this much time, he might as well help Ling Miao to rob her five major enemy factions, including Shangxuan, Mingshu and other peaks.

When the others saw Ji Yuan refuse, they were all shocked and puzzled. One hundred thousand merits, such a high price, would be worth it even if he had to sacrifice his life for it, but he actually refused?

Ling Miao was not surprised. She stood up and waved her hand: "Everyone else please leave first. Junior Brother Lingbao will stay."

After everyone else including Chen Hai left, Ling Miao and Ji Yuan were the only ones left in the empty hall.

"Senior sister, please send everyone away. Could it be that the matter I asked you to inquire about has been resolved?" Ji Yuan lowered his head, a little absent-minded.

The sound of footsteps came from above, and the palace girls in plain gauze clothes and a faint fragrance came into view and heart, making Ji Yuan frown.

If it were someone else, no matter if it was a man or a woman, they would dare to suddenly attack Ji Yuan like this.

Ji Yuan would take out the bamboo golden whip without hesitation and let her see her brains splattered all over the sky.

"That's right!" Gu Lingmiao looked sternly at Ji Yuan, who was tense all over.

Ji Yuan looked up in surprise, but a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Who is that Tai Ming Fairy? Where is she now?"

In fact, since entering Kunwu, whenever Ji Yuan met a cultivator with insight and status, he would inquire about the identity of Tai Ming Xian Po.

Unfortunately, even the leader of Xuanwei Dao, the master Qiankun Yiqi Jinque Zhenren Jiang Xuyuan, shook his head.

This means that among the powerful people in the world, there are no such unknown people.

After seeing Gu Lingmiao, he remembered the rumors in the cultivation world that the descendants of the Gu family are good at running the medicinal materials business, and their clansmen are spread throughout the six realms and are famous for being well-informed.

I asked her to help me find out about this 'Tai Ming Xian Po'.

But Ji Yuan didn't hold out much hope.

"Just promise to help me go to Li Yang, and I'll tell you." Ling Miao smiled.

"As long as the news is true, I will go to Liyang ten times, not to mention once." Ji Yuan stood up. His sister-in-law and brother are the most important relatives to him.

He came to Kunwu with the goal of being promoted to a true disciple. Part of the purpose was that becoming a true disciple would allow him to mobilize manpower to search for the whereabouts of his sister-in-law and brother, or he could contact the leader of the sect and ask the great master to make a divination.

"it is good."

Gu Lingmiao smiled brightly: "I have a nephew who is ninety-three years old. He was said to have been the governor of Wuyang County in Xiazhou, Chen State, ten years ago."

"At that time, there were demons causing trouble in the counties of the gorge. They were good at using the art of creating animals. They would abduct women and children, turn them into animals, and drive them away to sell for money. The demon leader was called Tai Ming Xian Niang."

Ji Yuan listened carefully, not wanting to miss a single word.

Gu Lingmiao remained silent for a long time, and Ji Yuan couldn't help asking, "Anything else? Nothing else?"

"Junior brother, you are a disciple of a great sect. Tai Ming is just a small left-handed junior. Why should you care so much about him?"

Gu Lingmiao looked at Ji Yuan curiously and asked instead of answering, "Could it be that Tai Ming Yao Niang is your mistress?"

For monks like them who have hundreds of years of magical powers, it may not mean much in this foreign sect.

But if placed in Zhongzhou, it would be an all-powerful force that could reach heaven and earth.

He just knows some unorthodox tricks for exorcising minor animals; he may not even have acquired magical powers. Is it worthy for a deacon of a great sect to value him so much?

Gu Lingmiao has been practicing for more than two hundred years. As the head of a peak of a supreme sect outside the domain, the so-called "immortal lady" in Zhongzhou is really just an ant-like nameless junior in her eyes.

Ji Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. After thinking for a while, he told the truth: "I am not fond of women. What mistress? She is my sister-in-law. She was abducted by the Taiming Fairy Po in her early years. Now I can't tell where she is, let alone her location."

Ji Yuan's Taoism is getting better and better now, and he can also master some methods of calculating the mysteries of the universe.

In addition, I had my sister-in-law's clothes as a medium, and I had used them to calculate before, but it was always vague. I thought that the other party was extremely cautious and used some technique to avoid divination to get away with it.

"These young unscrupulous people are so courageous. They are so rampant in the countryside and call themselves immortals in the shallow waters of Zhongzhou. But they are so bold that they even dare to challenge the God of Heaven. They are so tired of living." Gu Lingmiao raised her eyebrows.

She didn't know that the Fairy Taiming abducted Qin Yueru before Ji Yuan joined the Xuanwei Sect; she thought it happened recently.

But no matter what; in this world, the six Xuanmen sects have dominated the world for eternity; the founder of Xuanwei Sect is the supreme immortal Taoist master standing at the pinnacle of the heavens and myriad worlds.

The Xuanwei Sect controls an area and is extremely domineering. It has hundreds of thousands of true disciples and is known for "if one leaves the Golden Palace in anger, he can immediately summon millions of immortals."

It can be said that in terms of strength and influence, from the nine heavens above to the four poles and eight wildernesses in the middle to the underworld, no force can surpass the Xuanwei Sect.

It is okay for Xuanwei Sect disciples to beat and kill Xuanwei Sect disciples, but it can only be said to be an internal fight.

If an outsider is arrogant enough to dare to raise a hand to offend Xuanwei Sect, then he will really know what it means to "beat the young and then the old". The true teachings of the ten major Dharma lineages, Master Tongxuan, Master Daomiao, and the Immortal Sect Leader are the basis for everything.

This is just like a ruffian like an ant in the market who dares to provoke the princes and nobles of the court who hold the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people. It is so audacious.

"Senior sister is right. If we catch this Taiming witch, no matter whether she is good or evil, I will first punish her for kidnapping without telling her. I will grind her body into powder and reduce her soul to the wick of a lamp, burning it for thousands of years!"

Speaking of this, Ji Yuan, who rarely gets angry, couldn't hold back his anger and was filled with murderous intent.

Gu Lingmiao continued, "Later, my uncle and nephew mobilized the yamen officers of the eighteen counties of Wuyang, and met with the Wuyang general Hao Zha, who was good at the flying eagle magic, to suppress the evil party. They wiped out all the evil party members, rescued more than a thousand women and children, and killed more than a hundred people who practiced evil magic."

"The bandit leader, the evil woman Tai Ming, was captured by Hao Zha's flying eagle and should have been brought to justice. However, she was skilled in the art of bewitching souls and the art of flying a staff. During the escort, she bewitched the yamen runners and they fled in the air with the flying staff and have never been seen since."

Ji Yuan pondered and asked, "Hao Zha! Flying Eagle? Is Hao Zha a disciple of Xuan Wei? Is he still alive?"

If I remember correctly, the Flying Eagle is one of the 3,600 magic spells of the Xuanwei Sect.

Take a hundred-year-old white-headed owl with spiritual power from a dangerous cliff, called the East Green Eagle, make a big altar and put a cinnabar vat into it, and recite the secret spell to make a sacrifice; after 49 days, you can train it into a magical eagle that is invulnerable to swords and arrows; it can escape at an incredibly fast speed, with a sharp beak like steel, and can easily peck through a half-foot steel plate.

Moreover, it can shoot out thousands of feathers like sharp arrows. It is not only good at breaking illusions, but also good at defeating the strange magic of flying insects.

Ji Yuan's Centipede Bee Technique and other strange techniques cannot be matched with this 'Flying Eagle' technique and will be completely restrained.

"Yes, Hao Zha is the disciple of Chao Yingfeng in the sect. He practiced for a hundred years but failed to achieve the highest level. Later, he learned the secret technique from the sect's ancestor. After mastering it, he returned to his hometown, Linbo County, Wuyang County, to enjoy wealth and honor. He should still be alive today."

Even in a great religion, not everyone has employment opportunities; there are hundreds of thousands of disciples in each generation, but only hundreds or thousands of people can advance to the true teachings.

There are about 10,000 people who can become deacons and elders, and will serve the true masters in the future; the remaining hundreds of thousands, only a few of them have Taoism skills but can cast powerful magic spells, and they will either die of old age in the mountains or go down the mountain.

For a man like Hao Zha, who came from a poor family, to have the opportunity to learn a powerful magic, come down the mountain and enjoy hundreds of years of wealth and honor, and live in a wealthy and noble family, it was considered a very good ending.

Such people who are good at special skills should not be underestimated.

If the special arts are used well, defeating monks with magic powers of hundreds or thousands of years on the battlefield is like a piece of cake. Some strange secret arts of the Yuanshen sect can even make the ancestors Tongxuan and Daomiao fall.

"This is all the information I know right now." Gu Lingmiao felt a little ashamed.

She felt that this information was too superficial, and it seemed as if she was "deceiving" Ji Yuan into working for her.

But to receive this news, Ji Yuan was already extremely satisfied and happy.

You know, from Chen Hai, to Yin Kaishan, to Linghe Zhenren of Yuntai Taoist Temple, to the many Qi-refining masters of Kunwu, to the head monk Jinque Zhenren Jiang, Ji Yuan asked everything he could.

No one has any news.

After all, for big guys like Yin Kaishan and Jiang Zhenren, if they ask about the famous people in the world, the ancient golden immortals, and the ancient great saints, they know them all.

But asking about an unknown young man who is doing unconventional things is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
