The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 69: Great Flame's Essence
One day half a year later, the Qi Ling Sect's disciples were busy as usual. However, some idle disciples still gathered in front of the Su Yu Bai Que Pagoda, discussing the events on the list in twos and threes.

This list is now divided into two, one records the ranking of inner disciples, and the other records the ranking of deacons.

Many disciples were amazed that the number one on the inner disciple list was not Qi Xuanling Sanfeng, but a Fufeng disciple named Xiao Yunyu.

A round-faced young man said complacently, "You don't know this, right? It is said that Senior Brother Xiao used various magic symbols in the Hundred Que Pagoda and actually rushed to the 28th floor. The peak master was shocked and summoned him personally."

"Talisman? Where did he get so many talismans? Is he a talisman-making master?"

Some disciples were talking about this. For those disciples who had no ambition to make further progress, they were gradually becoming addicted to worldly interests like ordinary people.

The round-faced young man Zhao Feiran clapped his hands, interrupting the discussion of several people, and rushed to say: "You are right, this Senior Brother Xiao Yunyu is really a master of talisman making! I heard that the probability of making a mid-grade magic talisman is 60 to 70%, which is much higher than some deacons!"

"This senior brother is so amazing, isn't he? Why don't we go and pay him a visit? He will definitely be a big shot in the future!"

"That's right! But, Zhao Feiran, how do you know everything?" someone asked curiously.

"Hey, I'm known as Qi Ling Know-it-all, there's nothing I don't know!" Zhao Feiran smiled proudly, "Do you want to know Sister Yuan's secrets? I have the latest..."

"What's the latest? Tell me quickly." Hearing this, several people couldn't help but whet their appetite and urged him to continue.

But Zhao Feiran's eyes were dull, he raised his hand and pointed to the southern sky with trembling hands, and said in horror: "Is that... the ancestor's magical power?"

All the disciples turned around and saw that the southern sky was filled with pink. All the peach blossoms in the Qi Ling Sect were attracted and gathered in the sky, like a long river of pollen, which was really spectacular.

But on the other side, there was a long silver and gold bridge that spanned the river of flowers, emitting rays of silver light that swept away countless peach blossoms.

At the same time, a cold shout came from the sky above the entire mountain gate.

"Brother Li, you are too arbitrary! I am a true cultivator after all. You don't take me seriously. Do you want to make Qi Ling Sect your own boss?"

A noble young man stood on the bridge, looking coldly at the peach rain falling from the sky.

Li Yuan sighed while standing in the air: "Junior Brother Su, I am also doing this for the great cause of the sect's inheritance. You should understand my painstaking efforts!"

"Humph, I am here to seek the Tao and cultivate the immortality! How can I let you drive me around? Since you insist on doing this, I will rebel against the Qi Ling Sect today and set up another sect. I will be free and unfettered on my own, which is much more comfortable than being bullied and restricted by you."

Su Yao sneered, turned around, and turned into silver light and left Qi Lingmen.

Only the disciples of the mountain sect were left with stunned faces. Did the two true cultivators have a falling out? The sect finally had another true cultivator, but now that he left, wouldn't there be only one true cultivator with supernatural powers left?

The masters of the four peaks all looked at the true cultivator leaving in the sky in surprise. Then they received the order from the ancestor and hurried to the ancestor.

[Dharmakaya Li Yuan] sat on the chair with a worried look on his face. When he saw the four people rushing over, he sighed and said, "Junior Brother Su has decided to set up his own sect."

Although Chen Guan had some guesses in his mind, he would not ask openly, and only asked: "Why did Master Su want to set up his own sect?"

Li Yuan shook his head, "Junior Brother Su is still too young and impatient. He just broke through to the true cultivation a few years ago and he is already thinking about expanding the mountain gate, recruiting more disciples, and establishing two more peaks.

But how can the sect withstand such a torment? If you don't take charge, you don't know the difficulties of life, and you don't understand the ins and outs of each path. Blindly expanding the sect will only give those with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of you."

Several peak masters didn't dare to respond to this. They couldn't let them jump out and say which true cultivator was right, right?

But it is true at the moment. The surplus spirit stones and other items from the three peaks have been used to support Fu Peak for nearly ten years, and it can barely catch its breath.

Both new disciples and older disciples were given spiritual stone salaries. Without the war, the lifespan of the older disciples was significantly extended, with most living to around 210 or 220 years old.

Therefore, the number of disciples supported by the mountain gate is still increasing every year. Even with the 200,000 spirit stones to maintain it, it can only barely keep the situation going.

If two more peaks were to be opened, the spirit stones required would be enormous, and it would even increase the burden on the disciples of each peak. By then, not only would the monthly salaries not be paid, but miscellaneous affairs would also be added. I'm afraid all the disciples would resent the mountain gate.

Li Yuan continued, "It's good that he splits off, as Qi Ling Sect still has a branch. I'm just afraid that he won't regard himself as Qi Ling Sect, but will set up another sect and abandon the inheritance.

You all need to calm down the disciples from each peak to avoid any disturbances, and everything in the mountain gate should remain the same as before."

"Yes! Ancestor!"

The four of them said yes in unison and left.

Chen Guan glanced up inadvertently and found that the old ancestor seemed to have lost the vitality he had in the past. Instead, there was a hint of fatigue in his expression.

……

Within half a month, rumors of a fight between two true practitioners of the Qi Ling Sect spread throughout the Guangyuan Mountains.

Even more, the true cultivator who left established another mountain in the Guangyuan Mountains, named Yinque Mountain, and opened its gates to recruit disciples. Upon hearing the news, many independent cultivators flocked there, wanting to become the first generation of disciples of Yinque Mountain.

In the forbidden area of ​​the Tongshan Wang family.

Wang Xuanyi walked in respectfully and said to the people in a fire room in the forbidden area: "Ancestor!

The Qi Ling Sect's true cultivators did have a separate mountain sect, called Yinque Mountain. I saw that he was generous to his disciples and definitely not someone who had just become a true cultivator. I think he took away some of the Qi Ling Sect's heritage.

"Old Ancestor, are you going to take action?"

"There's no rush for this."

A dignified and upright voice came from the underground fire room, "The old ghost of the Qian family is so kind, he just wants me to explore the way for him.

But Qi Ling Sect is a golden elixir inheritance after all, so it should not be underestimated."

Wang Xuanyi was puzzled and said, “But the Lord Sect personally took away the last bit of his golden elixir status before, and now he is just a dead tiger without fangs and claws.

If we wait any longer, I'm afraid that Li Yuan will grow up and it will be difficult for us to succeed. Besides, you really can't delay any longer!"

In the underground fire room, the voice hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "You go first and exchange the Xuan-grade high-quality spiritual object with him for the Lixing Mortar Fire.

As long as he can take out this thing, he must have the essence of the Great Flame Lixing."

"Yes! Ancestor!"

Wang Xuanyi took the order and left.

A few days later, outside Qi Ling Gate, two golden lights turned into rainbows and landed in front of the mountain gate.

Seeing the imposing manner of the newcomer, the mountain guarding disciple dared not neglect him and asked hurriedly, "Which senior is visiting?"

Wang Xuanchang raised his voice and said, "Tongshan Wang is here to ask for an audience!"

The disciple guarding the mountain was startled and was about to go and announce it, but he saw a figure appear in front of him.

[Dharma Body Li Yuan] stood in the formation and asked with a smile, "Why did you two come to my Qi Ling Gate?"

Wang Xuanchang frowned, "Why? How can you turn away guests?"

Li Yuan sighed, “There are many disciples in the sect, and I am afraid that some fellow cultivators may accidentally hurt my disciples, so I set up a large formation to be safer.

Please just state your purpose directly."

Wang Xuanyi chuckled, "Daoyou Li is still so cautious. Don't worry, we are one of the four families in Guangyuan after all. Even if Yinque Mountain has set up a new mountain gate, my Wang family will only recognize Daoyou's lineage!

But I came here today to exchange for a spiritual object.

My family is refining a fire-virtue spiritual weapon, but we are lacking a spiritual fire. Thinking of your long-standing heritage, I came to try my luck." "Spiritual fire?" Li Yuan thought for a moment, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. The ancestors of our family are good at cultivating earth virtues, and I am cultivating water virtues, so I have no affinity with spiritual fire."

"This... Daoist friend, you might as well think about it carefully. My family's spiritual weapon has reached a critical juncture and cannot be kept for long. The only thing missing is the Lixing Mortar Fire. If Daoist friend is willing to exchange, my family can exchange it with Daoist friend with Xuanming Qinglu."

Wang Xuanyi spread out his hand, and a drop of dark green water rose into the air, causing dark clouds to gather in all directions. The river water rippled uncontrollably, being pulled by this mysterious spiritual object.

"Xuan Ming Qing Lu!"

Li Yuan could not hide the surprise and admiration in his eyes. This kind of mysterious spiritual water was what most water virtue practitioners dreamed of.

It is difficult for a true cultivator to improve his cultivation to find suitable elixirs. Moreover, it takes dozens or even more spiritual objects to gather together to refine the elixir, so true cultivator elixirs are very rare.

Apart from elixirs, one can also improve one's cultivation by comprehending the spiritual essence of various spiritual objects in heaven and earth, or refining and fusing spiritual objects that perfectly suit oneself.

The temptation of Xuanming Qinglu is not small, but Li Yuan did not have too much obsession in his cultivation. He only said with regret: "It's a pity that our sect does not have a spiritual object like Lixing Juhuo, and we have never even heard of it."

"you!"

"Friend Li, this is really too unkind of you."

Wang Xuanyi stopped Wang Xuanchang from getting angry and said slowly: "If I am not sure, would I come to exchange with you?
There is a monk named Tianding Huode in the family who is proficient in divination and he predicted that the Qiling Sect has such a spiritual fire!
Anyway, this spiritual fire is useless to you, so why not exchange it for spiritual water to improve your cultivation so that you can regain the title of Qi Ling orthodoxy sooner!"

Li Yuan said distressedly without any hesitation: "My two Taoist friends, if I really have this fire, I will definitely take it out.

But there is really no such thing as an unheard-of spiritual object in the sect.

Why don't you two Daoists change to other spiritual objects? Then I might be able to get some information!"

Wang Xuanyi frowned when he heard this, and it seemed that he really didn't have it.

"Without this fire, other spiritual objects cannot be combined with my family's inherited spiritual weapon. So I only want this fire, and I won't accept any other spiritual objects!
Fellow Taoist, you may want to ask around or look through the files to see if you have missed anything?
My Wang family awaits your news about this fire!"

After saying this, the two of them turned into a golden rainbow and left.

Li Yuan sighed, turned around and went back to the courtyard.

His face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

If he had not read hundreds of books in the past and knew many changes of spiritual objects, he might have been tricked into revealing the secret today.

I'm afraid that what the Wang family is seeking is not the Lixing Fire at all, but the source of this fire, the earth-grade spiritual object, the essence of the Great Flame Lixing.

This thing was born from the falling essence of the sun, sinking into the depths of the earth's fire. It took thousands and tens of thousands of years to transform from yang to liquid and condense into fire essence. It is an existence in the Lihuo and Binghuo Taoist tradition that can sense the laws of fire between heaven and earth. It is a treasure that can assist in breaking through the golden elixir!
And this thing just happened to be in that secret vault!

If this fire essence encounters the energy of gold, it can overcome gold and cut off water and turn into mortar fire, which is a low-grade spiritual fire of the mysterious grade.

The fire in the mortar cannot be separated from the fire essence for long, otherwise it will go out.

Therefore, as long as he can take out the Lixing Fire, he must have the essence of the Dayan Lixing!
The ancestor of the Wang family who had reached the ninth level of the spiritual realm cultivated the virtue of fire. Although no one knew which path it was, it was obvious that he was in great need of this thing.

Not to mention whether the Wang family can come up with spiritual objects of equal value in exchange, even if they do, the Wang family probably wouldn't be willing to give it up.

What's more, barter is based on the premise that the strength of both parties is not much different, but now the Qi Ling Sect and the Tongshan Wang Family are obviously clearly strong and weak.

Besides, once this item is taken out, I am afraid that all the Nine-Revolution True Cultivators in the world will go crazy for it. Since your Qi Ling Sect can take out an earth-grade fire spiritual item, can you also take out other earth-grade spiritual items?

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

Not even a hint of the idea of ​​owning such a spiritual object can be revealed, otherwise, the Qi Ling Sect will be surrounded by a group of vicious tigers and dark wolves, and there will be no chance of survival.

But only the ancestors can know about the spiritual objects in the secret hall. Every generation of ancestors would never dare to abandon the sect, so who spread this rumor? Or was it deliberately guided to plot against Qi Lingmen?

Li Yuan's worries never diminished for a moment. He would never let Qi Lingmen become the target of public criticism.

The worries of the Dharmakaya puppet were connected to the soul and transmitted to the heart of the original body Li Yuan.

Li Yuan in the Wanmu Realm felt a chill on his back. The secret hall was so hidden that even the Golden Elixir might not be able to find it, but it could be guessed by someone with ulterior motives.

He knew that since the Tongshan Wang family was so sure, there must be a basis for their decision.

There are all kinds of strange and bizarre skills in this world, and it is difficult to guard against them. It is indeed difficult to eliminate all possibilities.

Since the other party has already started to test it, it is most likely that the Qi Ling Sect has this thing.

No matter how convincingly he pretends, he can't dispel the other party's suspicion.

Never expect mercy from your enemies.

If Li Yuan was the ancestor of the Wang family, he would naturally use any means necessary to obtain this item!

The sect's large formation, disciples and followers, and the army of puppets are all like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of a ninth-level true cultivator!

Li Yuan's heart was ruthless. He could not hesitate any longer at this moment!

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the two fragrant butterflies, which were captured in his palm.

"go with!"

The two butterflies suddenly appeared above the courtyard, flapped their wings, took away a tiny speck of dust, and flew towards the ancestral hall.

Li Yuan himself entered the secret hall of the ancestral temple and, with a wave of his hand, was about to take away the treasures.

At this time, the formation spirit suddenly appeared, looked at him unkindly and asked: "Young man, what are you going to do?"

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "The treasures in the secret hall have been sensed by outsiders. The sect is in danger of being destroyed at any time, so I have to transfer the sect's treasure inheritance, the secret history book."

"Nonsense! This is the place where the Jindan status is suppressed. If it is not safe here, where else in the world is safe?" the formation spirit shouted.

"But the ancestor is no longer a real person, and this place is no longer safe." Li Yuan's heart moved, and he said loudly: "I am following the order of the Tianqi Immortal Sect to inherit Qi Ling and promote the orthodox sect. Senior Zhen Ling, please don't stop me!"

"There can't be a place safer than here on Nanjue Island!" the formation spirit said coldly.

Li Yuan glanced at me, activated his magical powers, and said slowly: "The Immortal Sect is powerful, and the place is unspeakable!"

The spirit was stunned, and suddenly remembered something. He looked at him in shock and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be... you..."

Li Yuan did not respond to him. When he saw the magic ban was opened, he waved his hand and put two earth-grade spiritual objects and more than thirty precious mysterious-grade spiritual objects into the Wanmu Realm.

Along with the ancient stones, spiritual tools, scrolls and other things that shouldn't be there, they were all collected into the Ten Thousand Trees Realm, leaving only the foundation that a true cultivation inheritance should have.

Then he turned back to the World of Ten Thousand Trees, and used his mind to urge the Fragrant Illusion Butterfly to land on an ordinary peach tree.

The Wanmu Realm Cave Heaven is a creation of the immortals, where every grain of sand is a world. That’s why Li Yuan dared to take the risk and bring the two earth-grade spiritual objects into the Wanmu Realm.

The other earth-grade spiritual object is called the Essence of Shen Chen, which is the supreme treasure of the metal element and is also a spiritual object that can assist true practitioners in comprehending the wonders of the golden elixir.

If any of these two things were to be revealed, the Qi Ling Sect's inheritance would have no chance of survival.
