Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 156 Taoist Viewing the Mountain
Xu Yunfan immediately understood that Hong Baichuan pulled him over to add weight to Tiangong Cave and let Xuanzhen Sect know that Tiangong Cave has successors, so the other party will naturally pay more attention to it.

When we reached halfway up the mountain, the mist suddenly dissipated.

A hundred feet away, seven bronze dragon pillars rose from the ground. Black iron chains on top of the pillars crisscrossed like a net, locking a three-legged, two-eared green tripod.

The Taotie patterns on the body of the tripod are inlaid with malachite, and the green light flows under the sunlight, enveloping the entire mountain gate in the misty green fog emanating from the green tripod.

"What a great mountain-suppressing tripod!"

Hong Baichuan clapped his hands in admiration, "I've heard that the Xuanzhen Sect's 'Caduce the Mountains and Rivers' can seal the world's right union and release all the immortals. Today has really broadened my horizons."

Although this mountain-suppressing tripod is not a divine weapon, its material is extraordinary. It is worshipped day and night by the Xuanzhen Sect. Over time, it naturally develops some magical properties. Even in the Jueling era, the concentrated incense and devout worship still have remarkable effects.

What's more, the Yuan Spirit of Heaven and Earth has appeared today. This Mountain-Suppressing Cauldron, which has been there for who knows how many years, may regain some of its former power after being nurtured for a period of time.

Su Zhenhe tapped his folding fan lightly on his palm and said with a faint smile, "Master Hong has come with the 'Xuan Ji Qi Yao Blade', a treasured weapon from the Tiangong Arsenal. How dare Xuan Zhen Sect neglect it? The peacock sand burning in this cauldron is the best at suppressing the evil spirits of metal and iron."

Xu Yunfan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

No wonder my blood circulation felt smoother when I was climbing the mountain just now. It was all because of the green mist.

If you stay in this environment for a long time, your cultivation speed will increase by several points!

“What a blessed place!”

Hong Baichuan seemed unaware and opened the iron box behind him.

Seven cold lights shot up into the sky, and strange weapons arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper were suspended on the tripod, and the blades vibrated like a dragon's roar.

The ginkgo charcoal at the bottom of the box fell down, and actually burned out seven red lotuses in the green mist!

Su Zhenhe's smile froze slightly.

The weapon forged from the North Sea's black ice iron should have been suppressed by the peacock sand, but at this moment, it used the charcoal embers to stimulate the fire and forcibly tore a gap in the formation.

The rhythm of his knuckles tapping on the fan was disrupted for a moment, then he regained his composure: "The leader of the Hongmen has good methods and weapons."

"How can such a trivial skill compare to the thousands of years of heritage of the Xuanzhen Sect?"

Hong Baichuan waved his sleeves and the seven blades returned to the box.

The bronze tripod shook violently, and its legs sank three inches into the ground.

No matter how magical the Mountain-Suppressing Cauldron is, it is just a treasure after all. His Xuan Ji Seven-Star Blade is truly the most valuable weapon in Tiangong Cave.

Xu Yunfan lowered his eyes to hide the gleam in his eyes.

The moment the weapon came out of the sheath, he clearly saw the tendons on the back of Su Zhenhe's neck stretched tight like a bowstring. If this treasure was not in Hong Baichuan's hands, he would have been unable to restrain himself and wanted to try it out.

This true disciple of Xuanzhen Sect could not hide the arrogance in his bones after all.

"please."

Su Zhenhe stepped aside to make way, and the folding fan made a sharp sound when it was folded, just like the blade of a sword being scabbarded.

Xu Yunfan brushed past him, and his clothes on his shoulder silently tore open half an inch, but it was cut by the invisible energy.

"Oh, Brother Xu, I'm sorry. I just got this folding fan a few days ago, and I can't control the invisible energy that it emits every day. I will send someone to change your clothes later."

"It doesn't matter."

He glanced at the coat on his shoulder, his expression calm, and walked forward slowly.

This energy couldn't break his defense.

Looking at Xu Yunfan's back, Su Zhenhe's eyes moved with a hint of surprise, but he didn't expect that the other party would remain so calm.

No wonder he could go up the mountain with Hong Baichuan. Su Zhenhe pondered in his heart, and seeing that they were about to enter the mountain gate, he gave up the idea.

The bell on the top of the mountain suddenly rang.

Nine bell sounds cleared away the clouds and mist, revealing an old Taoist with a white beard standing with his hands behind his back at the mountain gate.

The cracks in the blue bricks beneath the old man's feet were winding, and at the end of each crack was a sheathless iron sword nailed to it, with a black ribbon wrapped around the hilt fluttering like a flag.

Xu Yunfan subconsciously held down the Thunderfire Qilin Hammer, his body tense.

Hong Baichuan seemed unaware and looked at the old Taoist in front of him with a smile.

It was none other than the leader of Qingyue Xuanzhen Sect, Taoist Guanshan.

When the clouds and mist in front of the mountain gate had completely dissipated, eight Taoists in green robes were already waiting under the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree on the side of the road, according to the eight trigrams, with iron swords standing tall like the Tiangang Big Dipper.

The old Taoist leader held a silver whisk in his hand, with morning dew hanging on his frosty white eyebrows. When he saw Hong Baichuan approaching, a smile appeared on his face.

He glanced at the corner of the box on Hong Baichuan's shoulder, and suddenly pointed his whisk to the east. In an instant, the mountain wind blew up the ginkgo leaves on the ground, and they condensed into three green dragons that flew straight towards the wooden box.

"What a great Taiyi Qing Gang Jin!"

Hong Baichuan laughed loudly and stepped onto the Xun position. His fine steel horizontal training skills made the copper lock of the wooden box clang.

The next moment, a phoenix cry suddenly broke through the air from the box, crushing the Fallen Leaf Green Dragon into pieces.

Amidst the golden rain, the iron box crashed to the ground. When the lid was shaken open, a cold light shone out, eclipsing the stars. Seven strange-shaped weapons of varying lengths were revealed, with their blades arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. A closer look revealed that they were forged from a mixture of North Sea black ice iron and ginkgo charcoal. Each weapon was inlaid with malachite, a specialty of Lingnan, between its lines, and the green and flowing light looked like a living thing.

Guan Hengzi, who was slightly older than Guanshan Taoist, had his pupils slightly constricted, and the silver threads of his whisk moved without a breeze. "Master Hongmen can actually fuse the Arctic Iron and the Southern Fire Essence?"

"Use your sect's thousand-year-old ginkgo wood as charcoal, and malachite as a medium. Refine it for seventy-seven times in the Thunder Fire Pool of my Tiangong Cave."

Hong Baichuan wiped the ice from his forehead, and there was a hint of imperceptible pain in his laughter.

"Master Guanshan, this set of 'Xuan Ji Qi Yao Blades' is in line with the essence of your sect's Tian Gang Bei Dou Formation."

Another Taoist master, Guanhe, suddenly stood up, his Taoist robe fluttering like clouds.

Everyone saw green light flowing from his fingertips, and the seven weapons seemed to come alive, drawing the trajectory of the twenty-eight constellations in the air. When the last blade pierced the ginkgo tree trunk, the fog on the mountain instantly condensed into sweet rain and fell.

After this action, Guanhe Zhenren's face flushed slightly, but his eyes revealed an unconcealable joy.

Ninth level of Qi training? !
Xu Yunfan's pupils shrank slightly, but he soon calmed down.

It was somewhat different from the description of Qi training. The green light on his fingertips must have been formed by using some secret weapon combined with the five elements of the internal organs. The real ninth level Qi training would not be as strenuous as his.

Seeing this scene, Hong Baichuan couldn't help but wonder, "Master Guanhe must have already reached the half-step of Qi training, right?"

Guanhe Zhenren smiled bitterly and shook his head: "To be honest with Master Hong, this move has already released the energy I have accumulated for three days. Now I am embarrassed."

"Why be so modest?"

Hong Baichuan sighed and said, "Until now, I have already stopped at my marrow cleansing and it is difficult to achieve anything. But Brother Guanhe still has hope."

Taoist Guanhe seemed to recall something, and finally sighed: "If you hadn't been seriously injured that year, at least a great master of internal organ training would have emerged from Tiangong Cave, and maybe there would be hope for Qi training.

But Master Hong, don't lose heart. The Empress has released some of the Yuan Ling of the world, so there might still be hope for a reversal. Don't be discouraged."

After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Guanshan.

Guanshan's eyes twitched slightly, and he naturally understood what his senior brother Guanhe Taoist meant.
