Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Chapter 274 Wan Jian Yi: Zhang Xiaofan's Path is to Become an Immortal

Lin Jingyu listened to Taoist Master Daoxuan's question and immediately bowed and said in awe:
"Master Bing, the rare treasure is the Heavenly Emperor Dark Stone, which was finally obtained by Zhang Xiaofan, who also fed it to the monkey Xiaohui."

"What?" Even though Taoist Master Daoxuan was very good at cultivating his Qi, he was still surprised at this moment and said:
"Give it to a monkey?"

“Doesn’t he know that the Heavenly Emperor Dark Stone is a rare stone that can seize the fortune of heaven and earth? Any cultivator who consumes it can directly reach the half-step Taiqing.”

"Half-step to Taiqing, in terms of pure strength, it is more than enough to be the head of a top sect."

"It's such a waste of natural resources, it's really a waste of natural resources!"

Wan Jianyi was also slightly surprised when he heard this.

After all, even a person as gifted as him, after being trapped in the ancestral temple, and practicing for more than 300 years, only reached the peak of Shangqing.

If it weren't for Zhang Xiaofan, he wouldn't have been able to break through to the Half-Step Taiqing realm.

Among the other six leaders of Qingyun Sect, only Tian Buyi and Cangsong reached the peak of Shangqing, which was still a step away from Half-Step Taiqing.

As for the other four abbots, they haven’t even reached the peak of Shangqing.

From this we can see how powerful Half-Step Taiqing is.

And Zhang Xiaofan was actually willing to give his pet Xiaohui to him. This behavior is really hard for ordinary people to understand.

Taoist Master Daoxuan shook his head repeatedly. His disciple Xiao Yicai had been practicing Taoism for more than a hundred years, but was still only at the peak of Yuqing realm. It was unknown when he would be able to break through to Shangqing realm.

It may take at least ten years or at most a hundred years; this is the difficulty of breaking through the Shangqing realm.

If Xiao Yicai ate the Emperor's Dark Stone, he would immediately possess the cultivation level of Half-Step Taiqing.

Coupled with Xiao Yicai's versatile mind and deep scheming, he is qualified to take the position of the leader of Qingyun.

Otherwise, with Yicai's cultivation level alone, even if he became the head of the sect, he probably wouldn't have enough authority to convince the six peak leaders.

Taoist Master Daoxuan shook his head regretfully and then asked:

"During this fight for the rare treasure, several of us from the Righteous Path went to Nei Ze, and several from the Demon Sect also went to Nei Ze. How come Zhang Xiaofan took it all?"

Lin Jingyu heard this and said truthfully:
"Inner Ze is extremely dangerous, so Senior Brother Xiao suggested that about 300 disciples from the three sects stay behind to guard Outer Ze. Then Senior Sister Lu and I, along with eight senior brothers from the three sects, entered Inner Ze."

"It's just that we got separated when we entered the miasma. When we finally arrived in front of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, there were only Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Zeng, and Senior Brother Fashang with me."

"And in the Demonic Cult, there is the Wonderful Young Master Jin Ping'er, and the Little... Ghost Emperor!"

Lin Jingyu originally wanted to say Xiaofan, but thinking that Xiaofan was a traitor to the Qingyun Sect and had even killed the Great Elder of Qingyun, he changed his words to Ghost Emperor.

"Afterwards, the Black Water Mystical Snake and the Nine Heavens Spirit Bird fought, and the Ghost Emperor let his pet swallow the Heavenly Emperor Dark Stone."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Daoxuan continued to ask:
"Then can you tell how good Zhang Xiaofan is now?"

"The ninth level of Shangqing, this was said by the Ghost King himself when he was talking to Zhang Xiaofan." Lin Jingyu said.

"Hiss!" Taoist Master Daoxuan sucked in a breath of cold air, thinking to himself that Zhang Xiaofan's talent was truly terrifying.

In just ten years, he reached the ninth level of Shangqing. Moreover, he practiced Buddhism, Taoism and magic together. He had powerful magic and was proficient in the true methods of the three schools.

This level of cultivation is already on par with Tian Buyi Cangsong.

But both Tian Buyi and Cangsong practiced for more than three hundred years before reaching the peak of Shangqing.

And Zhang Xiaofan has only been practicing for more than ten years.

Taoist Master Daoxuan recalled the scene more than ten years ago when Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan were still teenagers kneeling in front of Yuqing Palace. At that time, Zhang Xiaofan had ordinary talent, while Lin Jingyu had extraordinary talent.

Everyone rushed to choose Lin Jingyu as their disciple, but ignored Zhang Xiaofan.

But who would have thought that in just over a decade, Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation had almost reached the pinnacle of the Taoist world.

After all, the supreme realm is too clear. In the entire Qingyun Sect, apart from him, Taoist Master Daoxuan, only Taoist Master Qingye who had cultivated to this realm a thousand years ago.

The ninth level of Shangqing is almost the pinnacle of the cultivation world. Not to mention that Zhang Xiaofan has mastered the true methods of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism, and also has the extremely evil and demonic Blood Soul Sword, which is extremely powerful.

I'm afraid that with all these supports, with Zhang Xiaofan's strength, he can definitely fight against Wan Jianyi who is now half a step away from Taiqing.

"Alas!" Taoist Master Daoxuan sighed and thought of his direct disciple Xiao Yicai.

He has been practicing Taoism for more than a hundred years, but he is still at the peak of Yuqing. At present, the situation is turbulent, the devil sect is growing and Taoism is declining. If he, the leader of Qingyun Sect, has any accident, how can Xiao Yicai be worthy of the position of the leader of Qingyun Sect?

"By the way, you said that the Ghost King was talking to Zhang Xiaofan?" At this time, Taoist Master Daoxuan suddenly looked at Lin Jingyu.

Seeing this, Lin Jingyu said truthfully:

"The Ghost King used the Kunlongque magic formation to capture the seriously injured Nine Heavens Mysterious Bird alive, and then asked Zhang Xiaofan how to deal with me, Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Zeng, and Senior Brother Faxiang."

"As a result, Zhang Xiaofan disobeyed the Ghost King's wishes and released the four of us."

"Hmm?" Taoist Xuan hummed in surprise and said slowly:
"Since Zhang Xiaofan dared to disobey the Ghost King and let the four of you go, it means that in Zhang Xiaofan's heart, he still has feelings for Qingyun Sect... or for the four of you or one of the four of you."

"It seems that although Zhang Xiaofan is in the Demon Sect, he still has some justice in his heart!"

At this point, Taoist Xuan said expectantly:

"So, did you persuade him to return to Qingyun Sect?"

In Taoist Master Daoxuan's opinion, although Zhang Xiaofan killed the Great Elder Qingyun, he was forced to do so after becoming possessed by the devil, so it was excusable.

Now that the devil is on the rise and the Tao is declining, if Zhang Xiaofan really returns to Qingyun, and if something unexpected happens to himself in the future, with Zhang Xiaofan's Taoism and shrewdness, as well as his cautious nature like himself, he will definitely be able to take on the important task of the head of Qingyun.

In this way, even after his death, he would have no shame in meeting the ancestors of Qingyun.

Lin Jingyu looked at Taoist Master Daoxuan's expectant eyes, and guessed that Taoist Master Daoxuan hoped Xiaofan would come back.

It seems that in the heart of Taoist Master Daoxuan, Xiaofan is still the best candidate for the next leader.

However, Xiao Fan did not plan to return to Qingyun Sect. If he told the Sect Master, he might be disappointed. But he had to say it, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"Senior Brother Zeng, Senior Sister Lu and Senior Brother Faxiang have all tried to persuade Xiaofan to return to Qingyun Sect. But Xiaofan said that our path is wrong and he wants to follow his own path."

"Go his own way?" Taoist Master Daoxuan was puzzled, turned his head and looked at Wan Jianyi, and asked:
"Although Tian Buyi is Zhang Xiaofan's master, I know how he teaches his disciples. So, most of Zhang Xiaofan's skills were taught by you."

"Then tell me, what exactly is Zhang Xiaofan's Tao?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Jian looked around at the green bamboo trees in the yard, and finally fixed his gaze on a dead bamboo. He said:

"His Tao is not like green bamboo, which turns into yellow earth after a period of time."

Having said this, Wan Jian looked up at the sky and said:

"His way has always been to ..."

"Immortal!"
