Chapter 933 Immortal Apricot
The Bixuan Cave Heaven does not have any middle thousand worlds or small thousand worlds under its jurisdiction.

However, Bixuan Cave Heaven is, after all, a "heavenly realm" within the middle realm, and it will also accept some immortals who ascend from the human world.

Ascending from the human world in Pangu's world is not the small thousand or middle thousand world.

Moreover, the cave heaven does not belong exclusively to the Shenxiao Taoist sect.

In the ancient times before the Bixuan Cave Heaven was opened up, many Qi Refiners settled around Junfeng Mountain.

Just like decades ago, when the Qin Emperor was at the peak of his power, the weather in the Qinling Mountains was extremely rich in spiritual essence, and many Qi-refining practitioners chose to practice in the Qinling Mountains.

When the era of the demon clan's heaven ended, the Golden Immortal of Junfeng Mountain prepared to open up the Bixuan Cave Heaven here. Many immortals helped and contributed some of their strength and materials.

It was a joint effort to raise funds and everyone worked together to create the Bixuan Cave Heaven.

Of course, even if they are all shareholders, the share capital held by each shareholder is different.

Shenxiao Dao Sect is the largest shareholder and occupies the central area with the richest spiritual energy.

As the head of the Shenxiao Sect, Hu Zhenjun occupied the highest and most magnificent mountain, "Leifeng" in the central area.

Leifeng is like a lightning rod inserted in the center of the Bixuan Cave. The mountain is extremely steep, like a steel needle, and also extremely high, with an altitude of 90,000 feet, and it has been inserted into the thunderclouds in the sky.

In the "sky" of Bixuan Cave, thunder is generated naturally at every moment.

They seem to be pulled by the "lightning rod Leifeng" and do not fall anywhere else.

The thunder meandered across the sky, finally gathered in the center, and crashed down on the top of Leifeng Peak.

Every stone on the top of Leifeng Mountain is the most precious material for refining weapons in the Three Realms - lightning-struck stone.

According to the "Shenxiao Weapon Refining" secret book that "Hu Zhenjun" saw in Baolu Palace.

The immortals of the Shenxiao Sect would regularly collect these lightning-struck stones that contain innate thunder energy, extract "thunder crystals", and hand them over to the Thunder Department of Heaven to forge immortal weapons such as thunder hammers, thunder pools, and electric mirrors.

Well, even the Thunder Chariot and Thunder Pool are considered high-level immortal weapons.

Don’t think that the thunder chariots and the thunder pools in them are common and worthless just because ninety-nine thunder chariots appeared at once when Xiaoyu was undergoing the thunder tribulation.

This is the same as the national strategic nuclear bomb carrier or the J series fighter jets.

You see, a country’s military can pull out dozens of transport vehicles or hundreds of fighter jets at one time.

Because there seem to be a lot of them, do you think they are everywhere?

The Thunder Pool is the nuclear weapon of Heaven. Which Qigong practitioner in the world is not afraid of it?
Even Xiaoyu has psychological trauma.

As we entered the thirty-mile radius of Leifeng Mountain, the sky suddenly changed from clear and bright to covered with thunderclouds.

"Boom, crack~~Boom~~"

Thunderbolts were striking Leifeng Mountain all the time.

Hu Zhenjun’s cave is at the highest point of Leifeng Mountain, a palace forged with thunder crystal, called Shenxiao Hall.

Compared with other majestic buildings in Ziyun Palace, Shenxiao Hall appears small and simple, yet as solemn as a prison.

There is only a front hall of 100 square meters, less than two meters high, and a desolate little courtyard at the back, and that’s it.

This is where the head of the Shenxiao sect lives.

Very crude.

Thunderbolts bombarded the purple-black building, and electric arcs traveled through the thunder crystal walls, emitting red, blue, white, and purple electric light, exuding an awe-inspiring majesty.

"Master, you are back!"

There were two little boys in green at the entrance of Shenxiao Hall. They were a little over one meter tall and looked to be five or six years old. One had an oval face and the other a round face. They were both fair and chubby, with two red blushes on their cheeks and clear and bright eyes.

It is pink and chubby, and looks very cute.

They were originally squatting at the door playing Liubo chess, when they saw a beam of lightning flying in from a distance and immediately stood up to greet it.

When the lightning turned into Master Hu, the little boy came up to him with a smile on his face and asked, "Master, you are back. Have you executed Yu Fengxian, the lowly maid, on the spot?"

Master Hu frowned and shouted, "You two little bastards, you play chess every day, you don't do your homework, you don't read the Taoist scriptures, and you don't do your homework.

No wonder after practicing for hundreds of years, he only has this little bit of Taoist energy.

I warn you, if you continue to live like this, I will send you into reincarnation and into the animal realm tomorrow!"

"master"

The two children were surprised, aggrieved and frightened. Their cheeks were pale and their eyes were filled with tears. They looked a little pitiful.

"Why don't you go back and recite the Huangting Sutra!" Hu Zhenjun scolded.

The two gatekeepers bowed hurriedly and trotted back to Shenxiao Hall.

After a while, the sound of chanting came from the side hall.

In addition to the sound of reciting Huangting, Hu Zhenjun could also hear them whispering.

"What's wrong with the master today? In the past, when he saw us playing chess, he would stand by and give us some pointers!"

The little boy with an oval face could recite the Huangting Sutra while whispering.

This kind of ventriloquism cannot be mastered by anyone who is not an expert at slacking off.

The other round-faced kid was also an expert in this art, and he looked thoughtful as he chanted.

"Ah, it's no wonder the master is angry, we are just tactless!

If the slave girl Yu Fengxian is really brought to justice, the master will be overjoyed, calling all his friends, laughing and celebrating for three days and three nights.

Now I feel dejected, with only Lu'an by my side.

Several of the senior masters did not come with me. They must have suffered a failure and are very angry. "

"So that's how it is." The little boy with an oval face suddenly realized and said with a gloomy face: "Alas, Yu Fengxian, that lowly maid, has done us a lot of harm. In the past, no matter how angry the master was, he would never scold us little beasts, let alone lie with his eyes open, saying that we are not of high moral character."

"You little bastard, you dare to gossip behind my back, you deserve a beating!"

A loud shout floated into the ears of the two children, followed by two "pa pa" sounds.

Neither of them understood what was happening, as they had already been hit on the face.

The children looked at each other and could see the mark of a slap on each other's face.

They were in so much pain that tears were about to fall, but they dared not cry out and only concentrated on reciting the Huangting Sutra.

——The master really suffered a great loss and was extremely angry! He just heard us whispering and beat us, oooo, oooo, it hurts~~~
After Master Hu taught the little Taoist boy a lesson, he led Mr. Liu'an through the door and the hall and came straight to the deserted courtyard behind the Shenxiao Hall.

A low wall less than two meters high was built with rubble.

The ground is just a pristine barren mountain, not leveled and uneven.

From time to time, thunder like dragons and snakes would fall from the sky, and with a "boom", it would blast a small hole the size of a bowl in the stone ground, and gravel would fly everywhere.

There are no pavilions, stone tables or stone chairs in the courtyard, but it is not empty.

In the center there is an apricot tree as thick as an arm.

The apricot trees are still growing quite lushly, with purple-green leaves and lightning patterns on the surface of each leaf.

The branches are sharp and twisted like the claws of a crow, and the trunks are covered with rough tumors.

More than half of the thunder that fell on Leifeng Peak struck Shenxiao Hall and the backyard.

In the thunder that hit the backyard, more than half of it fell on the apricot tree.

When thunder strikes branches and leaves, it can also break the branches and ignite the leaves.

The twisted and thick knots on the branches were probably formed in this way. But the apricot tree remained strong.

The thunder that fell continuously every moment was probably just hail rain to it at this moment.

Master Hu stared at the lightning on the apricot tree, stunned for a moment, then said: "Liu'an, you have been the abbot of Miaoling Temple for 280 years, although your achievements are few, your efforts are great.

I will give you an opportunity today.

Go pick a fairy apricot. After refining it, your inner strength will increase greatly. Perhaps you can become a fairy in this life."

Liu'an was shocked at first, then turned into ecstasy, "Master, how could I be so worthy as to be so worthy as you?"

"Opportunities should be fought for and not given up. You have been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, but you still don't understand this principle?"

Master Hu said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"Thank you for your help, Master, disciple~~"

Mr. Liu'an's eyes were filled with tears and his voice was choked with sobs. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed nine times to Master Hu.

"Go!" Hu Zhenjun said gently.

Mr. Liu'an climbed up tremblingly, staring at the fairy apricot on the branch that was as big as a child's fist with fanatical eyes.

This is the innate spiritual root that was born when the Bixuan Cave was opened up, and it is responsible for suppressing the luck of the entire cave.

It takes 1,800 years for the flower to bloom, 1,800 years for it to bear fruit, and another 1,800 years for it to mature.

Only twelve fairy apricots are produced at one time.

Only seven ripe apricots were left.

If a mortal swallows one, his life span can be extended by 4,000 years.

Prolonging life is only the most minor function.

The key is that the fairy apricot has been bombarded by heavenly thunder from the time it blooms to the time its fruit matures, absorbing a large amount of thunder energy and thunder laws.

When a fairy apricot is swallowed, it will automatically evolve into a thunder talisman in the body.

If one's talent is high enough, one can evolve 10,800 thunder talismans in one breath, which is the number of times in one moment.

Back then, the headmaster used an immortal apricot to condense a full 10,800 thunder talismans in just three months. In the end, he combined the thunder talisman with the elixir and achieved the immortal golden elixir (celestial immortal).

Liu'an knew that his talent was far inferior to that of the master who possessed immortal bones.

But as long as he condenses one thousand and eighty thunder talismans, he can ascend to the heavens and become a heavenly master of thunder.

The Tianshi Dao is also the true immortal path!
Now, the opportunity to become an immortal is right before your eyes.

——Master, thank you for your kindness. If I could become an immortal, I would work like a slave and repay you for my whole life!
“Boom—Crack~~”

A bolt of lightning shattered Mr. Liu'an's beautiful fantasy.

As soon as he stepped under the tree branch, a purple-red lightning struck his head, knocking him back three or four feet and smashing him heavily onto a lightning-struck stone a foot high.

"Pfft~~"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, his eyes were blurry, and his Taoist robe was also burning.

"Hehehehe, you can't even stand a small 'wood thunder', and you dare to pick fairy apricots."

"Haha, you old Taoist priest have no shame, don't you know how blessed you are?

You can't even pick the fairy apricots, yet you still dream of eating them. You have no shame, no shame."

"Hahaha, you have no shame, you old fool!"

Chirping laughter came from the thunder in the sky where dragons and snakes were roaming.

At every moment, thunder is born in the Bixuan Cave Heaven, and it moves like a dragon or snake to the sky above Leifeng Mountain before falling down with a loud bang.

But these lightning bolts that can talk and laugh at people have been wandering around in the sky, but have never fallen down.

"What's wrong with Old Hu today? Why is he so generous that he wants to give an old man a fairy apricot?"

"Yes, in the past, Old Hu was extremely stingy. Many of his direct disciples came to ask for a fairy apricot, but he dismissed them without any courtesy. But today, he gave an apricot to a useless old man."

"There's something wrong with Lao Hu today. Very wrong. There's something very wrong with Lao Hu."

"What's wrong with Lao Hu? Hey, it seems like something is really wrong. Lao Hu, Lao Hu, are you Lao Hu?"

Having just laughed at Mr. Liu'an, they turned their attention to Mr. Hu Zhenjun.

Master Hu's face turned cold, and he shouted, "You guys are really bold today, you little monsters, how dare you laugh at me!"

He put his hands behind his back, touched the ground with his toes, and flew into the air with a whoosh.

"Shenxiao Tiangang, listen to my command, command~~"

He randomly chanted an ordinary thunder spell of the Shenxiao Sect, then opened his mouth and sucked lightly, "Boom boom~~"

The lightning snakes roaming in the thunderclouds, whether it is the real thunder that is about to bombard the Shenxiao Hall, or the "monster thunder" that swims around and can even talk.

They all seemed to be sucked into a whirlpool, falling down involuntarily and into Hu Zhenjun's open mouth.

Master Hu accepted all who came, like a whale sucking water, and swallowed all the thunder dragons into his stomach until the thunder and lightning in the dark clouds disappeared.

"Hmph, you little devil, you don't know how to live or die." Master Hu fell back into the courtyard and shouted at the awe-inspiring and ashamed Lu'an Jushi, "If you don't pick the immortal apricots now, are you waiting for the thunder to gather and strike you again?"

"Thank you for your help, Master." Liu'an hurriedly jumped up three feet high, glided quickly between the branches, and picked up a fairy apricot.

"Master, your kindness is as great as a mountain. I will never forget it!"

Finally getting the fairy apricot, Liu'an was so excited that he was shaking all over, but he did not forget to kneel down again and kowtowed several times to the master.

There were too many of them, and my brain was foggy with excitement.

Until a gentle force lifted him up.

"Just take it in the Shenxiao Hall. The laws of thunder are densely manifested here, which is suitable for condensing thunder talismans." Hu Zhenjun said lightly.

Lu'an was more excited and more moved.

Shenxiao Hall is the place where the head master practices, and even the Taoist priests cannot approach it at will on normal days.

Although he was so moved that he burst into tears, Mr. Lu'an did not kneel down and kowtow again, nor did he say any words of gratitude.

At this moment, words could no longer express his inner feelings.

He just bowed and returned to Shenxiao Hall.

He did not stay in the lobby, but went outside obediently, sat cross-legged under the eaves, and swallowed the fairy apricot in one gulp.

After Liu'an left, Hu Zhenjun was still standing under the tree, looking up at the thunder falling from the sky, with flashes of lightning in his eyes.

Half an hour later, he lowered his head, opened his mouth, and made a spitting gesture.

"Gululu~~~"

One after another, lumps of meat came out of his mouth.

A lump of meat as big as a bowl fell to the ground and turned into a two-meter-tall "beggar version of Lei Zhenzi": his face was as blue as indigo, his hair was like cinnabar, his eyeballs were bulging, his teeth were exposed, he looked three parts like a human and seven parts like a ghost.

Overall, it looks like a beggar version of Lei Zhenzi, but without Lei Zhenzi's wind and thunder wings.

With just one mouthful, he spat out thirty lumps of meat, and there were thirty more "Beggar version of Lei Zhenzi" in the yard.
