The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 294: A New Beginning for Xuanzhen Palace (291)

Baidi City,
Sang Mansion, in the garden.

Xiaoji was holding a wooden sword and practicing her sword skills. The little girl was holding an iron and wooden sword that was almost as tall as her, and it was really difficult for her to wield it.

But she still tried her best to make every movement as standard as possible, and used all her strength every time she swung the sword.

After a while, her forehead was covered with sweat, her whole body was swaying, and her breathing was rapid.

But he still refused to rest until he was completely exhausted. The strength in his hands loosened and the iron wood sword fell to the ground.

She screamed in pain as the iron sword hit her calf. She sat down on the ground in pain, but she did not rush to get up. Instead, she just sat there, hugged her knees, and stared at the ground blankly.

The little face was full of grievance: "Brother Chu, don't you want Xiaoji anymore?"

"Who said that brother doesn't want Xiaoji anymore? Brother is just too busy these days."

A gentle voice suddenly sounded. Xiao Ji was startled, then suddenly looked up and looked at the person who came, his face full of surprise: "Brother Chu, brother, I am not dreaming, am I?"

Chu Zhou reached out and stroked Xiao Ji's head, saying, "It's my brother's fault. I came late and Xiao Ji was wronged."

Xiaoji grabbed Chu Zhou's hand and rubbed it on his face: "I'm not dreaming, I'm not dreaming, Xiaoji is not wronged, not wronged, just next time brother, can you please not abandon Xiaoji?

Xiaoji will not be a burden to his brother. Xiaoji can cook, wash clothes, cut grass for pigs, and now he has also learned swordsmanship. "

As he said this, Xiaoji's eyes were filled with tears, which made Chu Zhou panic.

It took a long time to coax Xiaoji into silence. On the side, Sang Qing had been trying to hold back his laughter for a long time.

Chu Zhou glared at him and said, "Is it fun to watch the fun?"

Sang Qing said, "You promised Xiaoji that you would pick her up, but you missed the date for such a long time. Can you blame me?"

After hearing this, Chu Zhou was speechless and could only change the subject by asking about the situation of the human race in the cave.

His original intention was to find a topic, but he didn't expect to hear some different news from Sang Qing.

To say that the human race was in a really good situation at that time, there were no enemies outside and the demons were almost all dead; there was no dispute inside and supplies were abundant. Naturally, there was no fighting between the two cities and everyone was eating and drinking well.

In Sang Qing's words, he hasn't had such a relaxing life in many years.

But the problem is that people’s hearts are always full of worries. The two emperors of the human race have disappeared for a long time, and many people are saying that they were harmed by outsiders?
Moreover, when these two are away, there are always some ambitious people ready to make moves.

Coupled with the previous changes in the sky, the spiritual power was greatly reduced, which also made people feel uneasy, filled with worry and restlessness.

The result is that both Donghuang and Baidi cities are not very stable.

Chu Zhou didn't expect that a casual question would lead to such a thing. However, the solution was simple. He just needed to go back and ask the two human leaders to come back.

With this matter in mind, Chu Zhou naturally didn't want to delay any longer. After a few more words, he prepared to leave.

Of course, before leaving, he gave Sang Qing a few bottles of elixirs produced by the Spring and Autumn Palace as a thank you gift for taking care of Xiaoji.

As for Xiaoji?

He followed Chu Zhou from beginning to end like a little tail, holding on to his sleeve, afraid that he would run away.

This time he came to pick her up, so Chu Zhou naturally took her with him, set up a cloud, and returned to the Red Dragon Palace.

According to Chu Zhou's idea, he actually wanted to leave Xiao Ji here and go back alone. Unfortunately, although the little guy did not object and let go, his aggrieved look made Chu Zhou helpless.

In the end, he had no choice but to take Xiao Ji with him, leave the cave through the sky gate, and then set up a cloud to rush to Xuanzhen Palace.

This time, the goal was clear and there were no other trivial matters to delay us. Even with a small burden, we could still move at a very fast speed.

Xiaoji, on the other hand, is small but courageous. He stands high above and looks down at the beautiful mountains and rivers with his eyes sparkling.

After spending several days, Chu Zhou returned to the outside of Xuanzhen Palace again. It was already evening, the setting sun was as red as blood, but the Xuanzhen Palace was bustling with activity.

Chu Zhou took a closer look and found that they were in the second round of harvesting spiritual rice and spiritual medicine.

This was actually a collective labor. As far as the eye could see, there were at least thousands of disciples busy at work.

Each of them was full of energy and had tremendous magical powers. It was obvious that they had all benefited greatly from this opportunity.

The leaders were Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie.

They started working right away, rushing to the front line, with Fan Zhong and Wei Jinkui in charge.
Some of them harvest, some carry, some take care of, some plow, some sow, some bring rain...

After a closer look, Chu Zhou discovered that in addition to harvesting, they were actually rushing to plant the third crop?
This made Chu Zhou a little confused. He looked up at the sky and confirmed that the spiritual inspiration was over. How could there be a third crop of sowing?

However, after a little consideration, he realized that this was the spring planting season, and his inspiration had greatly improved. If he sowed now, he could indeed harvest another crop next year, which was also quite good.

However, Chu Zhou did not disturb them. Instead, he hid himself and quietly entered the mountain protection formation and climbed up the isolated peak.

Here, under the big willow tree, two people were lying on two bamboo chairs, one big and one small.

Chu Zhou looked at the horizon and saw the golden crow setting in the west and the setting sun. He could not help but let out a long sigh.

No matter when, as long as he sat on this solitary peak, Chu Zhou would always feel peaceful in his heart.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at the little guy beside him who was imitating him in appreciating the beautiful sunset, and said, "Xiao Ji, wait a moment, I will introduce the other brothers to you?"

"From now on, if big brother is not around, you can go find them if you have any problems."

"Ok!"

Xiaoji responded softly, weak and steady. After a pause, she asked again, "What is the relationship between those brothers and Brother Chu?"

"They are my junior brothers and my family, and so are you. From now on, we will live together, okay?"

"it is good!"

This time, the answer was crisp and much louder.

……

The next day, early morning.

To the north of Xuanzhen Palace, on the edge of the mountain protection formation.

Chu Zhou led the way, followed by Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie. They were supported by a cloud, floating in the air, and led everyone around.

Above the clouds, Yi Huai's voice was very loud, even exaggerated: "Big Brother, Big Brother, you mean that we should install a door here, a door that can instantly cross thousands of miles.

We go in from here, and in a flash, we're at the Red Dragon Palace in the cave, and then we go in from the door over there, and in a flash, we're back?"

"For such a long distance, can it really just be done in a 'whoosh'?"

As he spoke, Yi Huai was gesticulating with his hands, which was quite funny to watch. However, only Chu Zhou smiled. The other three looked at Chu Zhou seriously, with questioning expressions in their eyes.

Chu Zhou smiled and said, "Wait a minute, you will know after you try it yourself, right?"

As they were talking, they had already stopped at a place, which was the back of the mountain, a barren land with lush vegetation and few people.

Xuanzhen Palace stands on the mountains and there are many trees. Naturally, there are many such sparsely populated places, and this one is close to the edge of the mountain protection formation.

Just a few dozen steps ahead, there was a light blue curtain of light hanging from the sky, and beyond the curtain of light, white fog that was so thick that it was invisible.

"Tiehu, is this okay?"

"It's okay, but does it have to be here?"

Fan Tiehu looked around and said, "This place is too remote. I think it's better to put it directly behind the Patriarch Hall."

“I think our master wouldn’t like to be disturbed, so the mountain protection formation is more reliable.

In the future, if someone really wants to sneak into the Red Dragon Palace, or do something else, I'm afraid this door will be a must-fight place, so it's better to keep some backup plans!"

"Big Brother is right. This is the place."

Chu Zhou said no more, but raised his hand, and a Ruyi Gate appeared in his hand.

Although it is only the size of a palm, it has flying eaves, brackets, green bricks and blue tiles, and looks very exquisite.

Light blue magic power surged in, and the Ruyi Gate flew up, spinning around, and turned into a three-meter-high vermilion gate.

Chu Zhou pushed forward, and the door flew out and landed with a loud bang. The ground shook, and it was obvious that it was not light.

After Ruyi Gate landed, spiritual patterns began to emerge from it, spreading along the cracks in the earth until they disappeared.

This is taking root. Although it is not impossible to move, each move will consume a lot of time and energy to remove the formations embedded in the ground, which is quite troublesome.

After doing all this, Chu Zhou looked at Fan Tiehu. Fan Tiehu didn't waste any words. He raised his hand and the main formation plate of the mountain protection formation appeared in his hand.

After several spells were cast, the pale blue light curtain did not change, but another light curtain dropped in front of the Ruyi Gate, and behind the light curtain, gray-white mist appeared from nothing and gradually spread.

However, this protrusion alone was conspicuous. Fan Tiehu cast several spells and the surrounding areas gradually became protruding as well, complementing each other. After a while, it looked natural.

After the adjustments were completed, Fan Tiehu cast a series of spells and completely fixed this place.

Chu Zhou looked to the left and to the right for a long while before he said, "Not bad, not bad, Tiehu, you have gained a deeper understanding of the formation!"

Fan Tiehu smiled and said, "It was thanks to this opportunity. Although I failed to break through the golden elixir stage, I did gain a lot in formation.

In other words, we brothers and sisters have all made some impressive gains.”

After saying this, the other three all laughed. Xu Cheng laughed the most reservedly, Yi Huai laughed the most ostentatiously, and Wei Fangjie laughed the most indifferently.

Looking at the auras of the four of them, they were all at the stage of perfect foundation building, and they all had a more profound and majestic demeanor.

In fact, Xuanzhen Palace reaped a great harvest this time. Taoist Qingjing, Wei Jinkui, Hao Songqing and Fan Zhong all broke through successfully. Only Feng Yan failed, but he survived.

However, for him, there is probably no hope in this life.

However, Zhongli Linghui reflected on his short time of cultivation and only cultivated himself to the level of perfect Qi Attraction, and did not choose to break through immediately.

As for the elders hired from outside, Master Ouyang from the Equipment Refining Peak, Bai Nian from the Talisman Hall, and the divine fortune teller who specializes in prospecting, they have all made progress, but none of them has reached the level of building a foundation.

In addition, what Chu Zhou is most proud of is that among the second-generation disciples, 19 people have achieved the foundation-building stage, and eight of them, although not yet at the foundation-building stage, have completed the first marrow cleansing and blood exchange, becoming true body-refining cultivators.

There is no way. After all, not everyone is suitable for the path of magic, and Xuanzhen Palace started with martial arts. Many disciples are accustomed to martial arts methods, so they make great strides in this field.

Otherwise, given the difficulty of marrow washing and blood exchange, there wouldn't be as many as eight people.

These are all achievements, but this is just the beginning.

Seeing that Fan Tiehu had finished, Chu Zhou didn't waste any words. He raised his hand and waved. The clouds under his feet converged. The five people landed and stepped into the depths of the fog.

They had no obstacles and found Ruyi Gate in the fog.

Chu Zhou cast a few spells, and lights appeared one after another. After swallowing some spirit stones, the door opened, revealing a vortex of darkness.

Chu Zhou led the way, and four others followed. They stepped in, and when they reappeared, they were already in the Red Dragon Palace.

In the Reception Hall, Chu Zhou had seen many layouts of fairy palaces, so he naturally didn't think it was a big deal. But Xu Cheng and the other four were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and they didn't even have enough eyes to see.

They looked to the east, looked to the west, touched to the south, and explored to the north. Wei Fangjie even pulled a female fairy who was sweeping the floor and asked her questions non-stop.

Chu Zhou then led them from the observatory to the other eight palaces.

They saw the magical medicines and elixirs of the Spring and Autumn Palace, marveled at the underground fire pool of the Fairy Fire Palace, lingered in the Flower Sea Palace, and were so intoxicated in the Red Lotus Palace that they didn't know how to return...

Until the end, they gathered around Chu Zhou, looking very excited but not knowing where to start.

Chu Zhou didn't wait for them to speak, and said: "Yes, this place will be ours from now on."

"This will be a new starting point for the development and growth of my Xuanzhen Palace!"

　Two updates today...
