Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 229 Black Spirit Church
Kou Zhun said with envy, "First-class alchemists are extremely rare in our Yunlan Academy, and even in the entire outer academy. For example, Senior Brother Hou I just mentioned can only refine a few first-class elixirs, but he is the one that all of us outer disciples want to make friends with. With his alchemy skills, he can easily get some high-quality tasks that save time and effort and are generous in contribution points. He doesn't have to worry about contribution points at all."

Li Tieniu nodded vigorously in agreement, his face full of envy.

Zuo Guanglin turned his gaze again and said with a smile, "What a coincidence! I just happened to make friends with Senior Brother Zhang Zhihu. Senior Brother Zhang is also eager to recruit high-level alchemists like Brother Ning. I can introduce one or two to Brother Ning."

Kou Zhun's eyes widened and he asked, "Is it Zhang Zhihu from the inner sect?"

Zuo Guanglin nodded and smiled reservedly and complacently.

Even the usually taciturn Li Tieniu couldn't help but ask, "Is his brother that Senior Brother Zhang Zhilong?"

Hearing the name Zhang Zhilong, even Ling Yue's face was moved.

Ning Fa's heart moved, it seems that the Zhang brothers are of great background.

Ling Yue looked at Ning Fa and explained gently, "The Zhang brothers joined our Huayu Sect three years ago and entered the inner sect directly. Brother Zhang Zhilong in particular has extraordinary talent and possesses a Molten Gold Body. Not only is his golden spiritual root talent rare, but he is also a natural sword cultivator. His talent is not inferior to that of the Heavenly Spiritual Root. Therefore, he is very famous in our Huayu Sect and is recognized as one of the strongest people in the Qi Refining Stage."

Ning Fa's mind moved, "Melting Gold Body..."

This kind of Dharma body is mentioned in the Tianji Lingjuan. It is a relatively common type of golden spiritual body and is indeed very extraordinary.

"Although your Molten Gold Body is extraordinary, if I take out my Great Five Elements Lightning Body, how will you respond?"

Ningfa thought with some evil interest.

It sounds like this elder brother is very powerful, and his younger brother Zhang Zhihu also has a high status.

He thought to himself, this is worthy of being the Huayu Sect, only such a big sect can see such a rare and hard-to-see Dharma body.

He declined Zuo Guanglin's introduction, saying that he had just arrived and needed to get acquainted with the place.

Zuo Guanglin felt a little regretful, but he didn't dare to force it. He looked around and said with a mysterious smile: "Junior Brother Ning, you came at the right time. There will be a foundation-building master giving a lecture at the Teaching Peak tomorrow. You must not miss it."

After that, he looked at the others and said with a smile, "And us too."

Kou Zhun smacked his lips and said, "Junior Brother Ning is new here, so it's fine. For us, these lectures are no longer useful. We should hurry up and get contribution points."

Li Tieniu nodded vigorously beside him.

Zuo Guanglin chuckled: "What if the one who came to give the lecture this time was Master Chu, the Fairy Bai Feng?"

"What!? Are you serious!?" Kou Zhun exclaimed in shock, and even stood up in excitement.

"We should see the official announcement later, so we must not miss the lecture at the Preaching Peak tomorrow." Zuo Guanglin said with a smile.

Kou Zhun slapped Li Tieniu on the thigh and said excitedly: "We are in for a treat now!"

"Cough cough!"

Zuo Guanglin coughed quickly and gestured to the side.

Only then did Kou Zhun remember that Ling Yue was still beside him, and he couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Ningfa couldn't help but feel curious.

This was the second time he had heard the name of Fairy Bai Feng.

Not long ago, Qualcomm used this woman as an example with great pride.

Ling Yue smiled gently, and then explained to Ning Fa: "This Uncle Chu was born in our Yunlan Academy. After being promoted to the inner sect, she made rapid progress and was promoted to a true disciple. With her outstanding performance in the sect's southern expansion and the elimination of the Black Spirit Church, she was promoted to one of the sect's seven heroes two years ago. Now she is on the verge of the false elixir realm and is the sect's designated elixir seed. She is also the only one of the sect's seven heroes who was born in the outer courtyard. Therefore, she is the idol of many of our outer disciples. I hope that one day I can be like her."

When Ning Fa heard the words "the sect's expansion to the south" and "the Black Spirit Church", his pupils shrank slightly and then returned to normal.

He had a black spiritual relic that he got from He Laogui of Chongyuan Society, but he never figured out its origin.

This so-called Black Spirit Church sounds like it has a close connection with them, and it seems to be an obstacle in the process of Huayu Sect's expansion to the south. Is it a cult-like force?

Ning Fa couldn't help but wonder, could the mysterious Liao Wuyin be from the Black Spirit Church? At this time, Ling Yue glanced at Zuo Guanglin and the others meaningfully and said, "In addition, this Uncle Chu is extremely beautiful, and therefore very famous in the sect, and is admired by many male disciples, so they are so excited."

Kou Zhun smiled awkwardly, while Zuo Guanglin said sincerely, "Junior Sister Ling, I really think you might be the second Uncle Chu."

Ling Yue shook her head, smiled and said no more.

Ning Fa suddenly realized.

It seems that this Uncle Chu was born in a humble family, but he fought his way back and is also very handsome. No wonder he is so famous.

As for the seven heroes of the sect that Ling Yue mentioned, he knew them.

Every ten years, Huayu Sect will select the seven most outstanding disciples below the Jindan stage and bestow the title of Seven Heroes on them.

The sect will allocate resources and give priority to supporting them in forming the elixir.

To be able to become a disciple of the Seven Heroes, one must not only have outstanding talent, but also outstanding fighting ability, tactics and character.

Once these people succeed in forming a golden elixir, their strength will be even stronger than that of ordinary golden elixir cultivators.

Therefore, each of the seven heroes should not be underestimated and they have great power in the Huayu Sect.

"Can you tell me more about the sect's southern expansion and the Black Spirit Church? As you all know, my family is also among those being recruited for the southern expansion, so I would like to know more."

Ningfa asked curiously.

Ling Yue and the others didn't think much about it and told what they knew.

First of all, regarding the development of the Yunhuang Swamp, this is the consensus of the entire Jiang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world and even the seven nations of Yunhuang.

After the war between the Seven Kingdoms of Yunhuang and the Demonic Alliance a thousand years ago, all the countries close to the Yunhuang Swamp began to expand southwards.

In Jiang Kingdom, Huayu Sect and Wanfa Sect, as the major sects closest to Yunhuang Lake, naturally did not want to lag behind and have been pushing for southward expansion.

The other three major sects of Jiang Kingdom also expressed their support.

About five years ago, the new round of southward expansion encountered a problem.

A very tough opponent appeared.

This force is called the Black Spirit Church.

This force seemed to appear out of nowhere and was very mysterious. The members of the church believed in a powerful mysterious being called the Black Spirit.

The Black Spirit Church is quite powerful and is known to have several Jindan monks.

Even the archbishop and high priest in the church are powerful beings in the late Jindan stage.

Not to mention there is a leader who has never appeared.

The Black Spirit Church colluded with some robbery-cultivating forces in the Yunhuang Lake, as well as some aristocratic cultivation families, to obstruct the southward expansion of the Huayu Sect and the Wanfa Sect.

The reason why it is obstructed is very simple.

Although the Yunhuang Swamp is dangerous, it also hides amazing wealth and resources.

Unknown spiritual mineral veins, unexplored secret ruins, high-level natural treasures, high-level monster resources...

Long before official forces began to explore, many forces had already joined in and seized the resources.

Now that their interests have been damaged, these forces will of course secretly obstruct.
