The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me

Chapter 78 Opening the Blind Box
Baiyun Temple is one of the three major ancestral temples of Quanzhen Taoism.

In the past few years, Baiyun Temple also encountered some twists and turns. The Taoists inside returned to secular life or dispersed, leaving only a few old Taoists who had nowhere to go in the temple... In recent years, with the improvement of the situation, some Taoists have also returned. Although there are not many incense sticks, the temple can still grow some vegetables and make ends meet.

In a quiet room, Taoist Tong was meditating with his eyes closed... but he opened his eyes soon after.

He had been a monk for decades, and except for those years of war, he was rarely upset. But what he had experienced in recent months made him restless for a long time.

He learned from the Maoshan lineage, which is authentic, but the Maoshan inheritance was interrupted at an early time. Although it was resumed later, the core inheritance had disappeared, and only some entry-level talisman techniques for beheading souls and exorcising ghosts and martial arts training methods remained.

He originally thought that his life would pass by in obscurity, but unexpectedly things took a turn for the better - his old friend Wu Zhengjun came to invite him to join a special department.

He and Wu Zhengjun met during the war-torn years and had fought side by side against the Japanese pirates. After the war, he returned to Shangqing Palace on Mount Mao to practice in seclusion. Fortunately, he passed the test a few years ago and hid in the mountains to avoid disaster. So this time he was invited to come out of the mountains to serve as a consultant and pass on his martial arts.

This time I went to the Northeast, the legendary secret realm not only appeared, but also many legendary creatures, barriers, Taoist techniques... These all appeared, and... flying swords!
Thinking of that magical woman, he felt an impulse in his heart, and he suddenly stood up and walked out of the quiet room.

A Taoist priest in his sixties was cleaning the courtyard. When he saw him coming out, he was surprised: "Fellow Daoist Tong is going out?"

Taoist Tong nodded slightly: "Go visit a fellow Taoist."

After that, he drifted away.

The magical woman that Tong Laodao thought of was in a special mood at this time - expectation!
What to expect?
Of course it’s opening a blind box!
It was February when she entered the secret realm, and it was already September when she came out... There was nothing to be confused about, it was just that there were laws regarding time in the seal of the secret realm.

After she encountered Huo Hongbing and others that day, she briefly learned that some strange beasts had escaped from the nodes, but she did not take it seriously - these strange beasts took advantage of the moment when the spirit veins and the Jiuzhou Ding rushed out, and several nodes loosened and ran away... In fact, the departure of the eight predecessors was also due to the loosening of the space nodes, otherwise they would not be able to leave either.

However, they did not leave immediately. Since Ye Muxue sent Ding Pei and Shao Hongying out, the higher-ups would respond immediately, and it was very likely that the third group of search and rescue personnel were already on the way.

Ye Muxue admitted that she had not thought it through...this thing has nothing to do with age.

That night, the professors from the expert group made a joke... When they saw Ye Muxue appear riding a saber-toothed tiger, they shouted like a domestic dog and underestimated the danger factor of the saber-toothed tiger. They wanted to provoke it when Ye Muxue was away... In the words of that professor, they wanted to do some research, but they were knocked to the ground by the saber-toothed tiger and their arms were broken.

Ye Muxue led them to sort out the road, sorted out the safe routes leading to the entrance of the secret realm, and specially marked them to stay away from those dangerous areas... In fact, this is also relative, but it is much better than Huo Hongbing and others rushing around like blind men groping in the dark. During this period, Ye Muxue also took the opportunity to use their manpower to do some private matters for himself.

Exploring the secret realm was not achieved overnight. After joining with the third group of personnel, Ye Muxue left the secret realm with them... Ye Muxue took back the puppet hidden near the entrance and returned.

No hurry, the cooperation with the government has just begun... No, it should not be at the level of cooperation yet. It must be said that she, a small Qi Refining cultivator, is far from enough to discuss this cooperation. She must have a cultivation base of at least Golden Core. But she didn't have it... and she didn't need to be so strong. Her trump card is not her strength at present.

After returning to the capital, the first thing she did was to visit her newborn niece, then say hello to her parents, and then go back home... She didn't want to give the outside world the impression that she attached too much importance to her family.

After advancing to the seventh level of Qi Refining, the accumulation from her previous life and the opportunities in this life were running out, and rocket-like improvement was unlikely to occur in the future. She could only practice honestly, and she also wanted to find out her biggest gain in this secret realm.

Ye Muxue got eight storage magic weapons in Huxin Mountain... plus Bashiba's Dzi bracelet, a total of nine. Not counting the dozens of storage magic weapons she got on the ladder to heaven, but some of these storage magic weapons had to be returned, and she didn't check them at all; and some... probably didn't have as rich a collection as these nine.

She had already seen the necklace. From the perspective of cultivation materials alone, it was enough for her to use for quite a long time. As for why they didn't send these things back to their master or disciples...it was not because she was greedy. They made it very clear that these things belonged to Ye Muxue, but if there was an opportunity or a suitable candidate for inheritance, she might as well help them.

All this information was stored in the beauty mole that Ba Siba gave her. The Huanyin Sect was not a large sect in the world of cultivation. It also opened a shop in Qiankunfang. As for the people from the Huanyin Sect, it was not known whether they still existed in the world of cultivation and what their scale was.

The Eight Treasures Bracelet was left behind by a female cultivator from the Buddhist sect. The things she left behind were mainly spiritual stones, and there were quite a few of them. After all, Buddhist cultivators also need resources. In addition, there were several Buddhist magic weapons and elixirs, as well as a temple located in Putuo Mountain... Well, it should be a nunnery.

A turquoise ring, from a casual cultivator named Qingye Sanren. He didn't have many spirit stones, and his elixirs were not very high-grade, but he collected a wide range of things. In addition to many magical instruments, he also had many skills and strange Taoist techniques, among which there was a paper puppet Taoist technique that was quite amazing. At this time, he was famous for a Qingye sword and a "Qingye Sword Technique", and both of these things were left behind.

A blue water spirit gem ring. The owner is called Misalo. Judging from his collection, he is quite wealthy. He has more than 400,000 low-grade spirit stones, more than 200,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and three palm leaf scriptures... But the information he left behind is very interesting. He is a Saint from the Greek God Mountain. For some reason, he temporarily lent the armor that proves his identity to Ye Muxue, and placed his most powerful spell in the armor for Ye Muxue to use. If she can comprehend this spell, it will be a reward for his storage of the armor.

A purple spirit stone ring. Purple spirit stone is a very special gem that can store true energy... Wearing this kind of purple spirit stone ornament is like carrying a power bank. Ye Muxue was so happy that she put it on the little finger of her left hand immediately.

What? Do you dare to wear a ring in this era?
Is there anything I dare not to be seen? Besides, if I really don’t want to be seen, it’s not difficult to have a small trick.

However, the original owner of this purple spirit stone ring is a bit surprising. He was the head of the Tianshi Dao of Longhu Mountain in the Song Dynasty. He left behind a complete set of Tianshi Dao inheritance, as well as a thousand-year-old peach heart sword, a gold sword, and a thousand-year-old dragon wood spirit whip. There are also hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, some spiritual medicines, materials for refining, and refined spirit talismans in the ring, as well as a treasure pen for refining talismans and some precious ink.

In the information he left behind, this Tianshi Zhang was quite free and easy. Longhu Mountain had its own means of ensuring that the lineage continued when the Tianshi passed away unexpectedly. He only required that those who inherited the full Tianshi sect's heritage automatically become registered disciples of the sect... If both parties were willing, they could formally join the sect.

The remaining three storage magic weapons have some awareness of feathers and bones. This is a strange storage magic weapon. The gold bracelet is normal, but... too plain. The bone... to be precise, it is a finger bone, a treasure left by an Egyptian strongman who calls himself the sun god Ra. It is not injured by swords and knives. I don’t know what kind of creature it is. A piece of space debris is refined into it. Many creatures are raised in this space fragment, and there are some mines. The area is much larger than Qiankunfang, but like Qiankunfang, it has been refined into a magic weapon and cannot be integrated with the mountain and sea space.

Unlike ordinary space magic weapons, in addition to raising many creatures, there is also a race that can be called "half orcs" - the Jackals, whom La called them rebels.

They also look very strange, with wolf heads and human bodies, and their intelligence is no less than that of humans. La kept them in the bone secret realm, and anyone who refined the bones would naturally plant a spiritual imprint in the soul of the jackal man... That's right, this finger bone can be integrated with Ye Muxue herself, so that these jackals automatically become her followers, and don't even think about betraying her.

The feather is a storage magic weapon refined by the archangel Raziel using his own feathers. As soon as Ye Muxue's consciousness entered it, she saw a drop of golden blood suspended in a space. She subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so she withdrew her consciousness. However, the drop of golden blood actually entered her mind along with her consciousness, like a maggot attached to the bone. Just when Ye Muxue wanted to get rid of it, the golden-red drop of blood suddenly turned into a miniature twelve-winged angel holding a cross, pressing down into her sea of ​​consciousness!

As expected, birdmen are unreliable. If she really surrendered under the cross, she would probably become a loyal dog of Christianity... There was no other way. The thief was led into the house. The angel was holding the cross and getting closer and closer... Suddenly, a shock wave hit the angel, and a look of panic appeared on his face: "It's a mental shock! How is it possible?!"

Before she finished her words, the angel and the cross were shattered into pieces, and then under her mental strangulation, the soul power was completely devoured.

so close!

Ye Muxue secretly felt lucky. If she had not comprehended the 'spiritual shock' technique when climbing the ladder to heaven, she would have been possessed by someone or become a loyal dog of a certain religion. The soul power of the angel was shattered and became her snack... The amount of this snack was a bit large, and Ye Muxue was a bit full!

His mind felt a little swollen. Although the swallowed soul fragments contained some content, most of them were disorganized and directly annihilated. But there was a special fragment. Ye Muxue suddenly had an idea and saved it.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
There was a sudden knock on the door, Qingfeng Mingyue shouted at the door, and Ye Muxue casually slid a few storage magic weapons into the drawer... She did not enter the space, she was a little angry at the uninvited guest who disturbed her opening the blind box.

The dog was still eating, but the knock on the door stopped. Ye Muxue came to the gate of the yard to open the door. There was an old Taoist who looked rosy and looked like a baby standing outside the door.

"Master Tong, is there something wrong?"

Ye Muxue recognized the person who came. He was the Taoist priest who had entered the Honghuangbi Secret Realm with Huo Hongbing not long ago. It was said that he was over seventy years old this year, but he looked like he was in his forties. Although he was just a beginner, it was obvious that this Taoist priest was quite accomplished in maintenance.

Taoist Tong hurriedly said, "Donald Ye, can you go in and talk?"

"Okay. Taoist Master Tong, please come in." Ye Muxue hesitated for a moment and still let Taoist Master Tong in.

After the host and the guest took their seats, Ye Muxue first made a pot of tea, and then poured a cup for Taoist Tong: "Please have some tea."

Taoist Tong thanked him and then said, "Taoism is divided into two major sects, Zhengyi and Quanzhen. Zhengyi was founded by Zhang Tianshi and is divided into Maoshan, Lingbao, Qingwei, Jingming, etc. The founder of the Northern Quanzhen Sect is Chongyang Zhenren, who passed on his teachings to seven disciples including Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, Qiu Chuji, etc., known as the Seven Sons of Quanzhen. The first ancestor of the Southern Sect is Ziyang Zhenren, who passed on his teachings to the second ancestor Cuixuan Zhenren, the third ancestor Zixian Zhenren, the fourth ancestor Cuixu Zhenren, and the fifth ancestor Zixu Zhenren. Later generations collectively call them the Seven True Ones of the North and the Five Ancestors of the South."

Ye Muxue raised her eyebrows, not understanding what he wanted to say, but she didn't interrupt him.

"I was born in a time of trouble. I admired Taoism when I was young and became a monk in Maoshan. In my prime, I protected my country and my family by doing things in the world. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I returned to Maoshan to live in seclusion and worked hard to study the art of talismans of my master. However, the inheritance of Maoshan has been cut off, and there is no hope of continuing it..."

At this point, Ye Muxue suddenly interrupted him: "I wonder how old you are this year?"

"I am ashamed to say that I am seventy-five years old," said Taoist Tong.

"longevity!"

Ye Muxue raised her eyebrows slightly: "Master Tong, what is your intention in talking to me about this today?"

"Seeking the truth."

Taoist Tong stood up, lifted his Taoist robe and followed him.

This move caught Ye Muxue off guard, and she quickly floated to the side to avoid it.

"Master Tong,"

Ye Muxue frowned: "As far as I know, the inheritance of Longhu Mountain is still there, why are you looking for me?"

"I know the Longhu Mountain heritage still exists, but I have tried, but they rejected me." Taoist Tong didn't feel embarrassed... He is in his forties and can no longer be moved by honor or disgrace.

Ye Muxue was also curious... Just as she received the gift from Master Tian today, she was the result of a 'destined person'?
But no matter how much she thought about it, she would not give away the things she had worked so hard to get for nothing, and she didn't know the other person's character. If she gave the gift to the wrong person, she would also bear the consequences.
