Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 275 Dao Sect Master, Bi Yuan

But when a soft golden sound emanated from Xu Yunfan's body, and the flush on his cheeks from the wine was quickly cooled, the two men's hands, which were holding glasses, finally froze.

Although the three of them are still on good terms, as time goes on, the martial prowess he inadvertently reveals makes Fang Mushan and Li Haomiao cautious. Although they have grown closer through their conversations, they are no longer as casual as before.

A Grandmaster of the Marrow Cleansing Realm is qualified to establish a sect in the martial arts world.

In the ever-changing world, those who are once fellow travelers may eventually become strangers.

Xu Yunfan sighed softly, and was about to help the two to their room to rest when he suddenly heard the door creak open.

A young Taoist boy, about twelve or thirteen years old, quietly entered. His lips were painted red, and there was a cinnabar mark between his eyebrows. His moon-white Taoist robe was embroidered with Qingwei Mountain cloud patterns in silver thread.

He touched the ground with his toes without making a sound, clearly demonstrating that his lightness skill had reached a state of perfection.

Xu Yunfan raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Tendon training complete!

At such a young age, to have mastered such a difficult skill as lightness of body is truly astonishing.

This was something the Dao Sect deliberately showed him, implying that they had more than just Li Haomiao and Fang Mushan; their ranks were filled with outstanding talents, and their prodigies were like dragons...

"Layman Xu." The young Taoist bowed respectfully, his voice clear and melodious like ice spring striking stone, "Sect Master Bi Yuan invites you to come up the mountain for a chat."

A subtle change flashed across Xu Yunfan's expression as his fingertips unconsciously caressed the mouth of the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace.

The Qingwei Mountain Dao Sect is a top sect that has stood firm in Jiannan Dao for thousands of years. Its "Twelve Secrets of Golden Gate and Jade Lock" is said to be able to lock in essence, qi and spirit to achieve a flawless true body. The sect leaders of all generations are supreme grandmasters of the ninth realm of Qi cultivation who can summon wind and rain.

He immediately regained his composure and asked curiously.

"Your sect leader wants to speak with me?"

This is truly a rare occurrence. The Dao Sect is a supreme sect, and the current sect leader was renowned throughout the world decades ago, even surpassing the Sword Pavilion's leader by a fraction.

The extraordinary phenomenon of "purple aura rising from the east and stirring the night" that occurred before the age of 60, as witnessed by Bi Yuan, the current sect leader, remains a legend in the martial arts world.

The Sword Pavilion Master, who was known as "one sword chills fourteen provinces," was defeated and admitted defeat by Bi Yuan after only three hundred moves on the Sword Debate Stage.

It is only because the Daoist sect has a habit of cultivating oneself that the Sword Pavilion is now at its zenith.

He glanced at the two sleeping men, Fang Mushan and the other, and the young Taoist smiled and said, "Don't worry, layman."

"These two fellow Daoists are being taken care of by the outer sect stewards."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan nodded in agreement without hesitation.
-
The mountain path twists and turns, and Xu Yunfan followed the young Taoist as he climbed the jade steps.

The branches of the ancient pine trees on both sides were covered with densely packed talismans, and every hundred steps, an invisible barrier swept over them.

Xu Yunfan was surprised, not expecting there to be such an invisible force, which seemed very mysterious.

The young Taoist explained, "This is the 'Nine Locks Heart-Questioning Formation,' which the sect leader set up not long ago. It only became effective because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has resurfaced. If anyone with malicious intent steps in, they will be burned to ashes by thunder and fire in an instant."

After a pause, the young Taoist chuckled, "It's just a legend, but it's already quite good that it can make the talisman tremble."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yunfan's dragon scale armor suddenly rang out, and crimson gold light burst out from the gaps in the armor plates, shattering the probing aura that was attacking him.

The young Taoist turned around in shock, only to see Xu Yunfan casually dusting off his clothes: "Sorry, this armor is a bit too fierce."

He wasn't showing off; it was just that although the evil dragon had been destroyed by the eighth-tier divine weapon, the Dragon Scale Armor he was wearing, its remaining instincts were still incredibly strong, and it would cause trouble even if he wasn't careful.

The young Taoist forced a smile at Xu Yunfan, then quickly ran to the side to carefully examine the talisman. Only after confirming that the talisman had not been damaged did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He personally pasted all those talismans all over the mountain. If any of them were damaged, not only would Xu Yunfan be punished, but he would also have to go through the trouble of pasting them all back on. It was a real hassle.

As you reach the mountainside, the clouds and mist suddenly part as if they were alive, revealing a bronze palace suspended on the cliff.

In the square in front of the hall, seven black-robed Taoists were practicing sword techniques in the Big Dipper formation, and the sword energy condensed into a star map phantom in the air.

The leader suddenly sheathed his sword and looked at Xu Yunfan with lightning-fast eyes: "You are Xu Yunfan, a true disciple of the Heavenly Craft Cave, who has entered the Marrow Cleansing Realm in two years?"

Xu Yunfan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Before he could answer, the young Taoist priest coldly rebuked him: "Senior Brother Zhou, this is the sect leader's distinguished guest!"

Although he is a Taoist disciple, it depends on whose disciple he is.

The Taoist sneered and ignored him. Suddenly, the tip of his sword shot up a three-zhang-long green light and pierced straight for Xu Yunfan's throat. It was the starting move of the "Star River Fall" secret technique of Qingwei Mountain!

"Qiang!"

The Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace leaped out from behind Xu Yunfan, and with a flick of his wrist, the mace swept across the battlefield, carrying the unique jade-bone golden sound of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

The two forces collided, and Zhou Daoren was forced back seven steps, his long sword shattering inch by inch.

Xu Yunfan's mace attack continued unabated, the aftershocks carving a deep trench three zhang deep into the bluestone slabs of the ground!
Xu Yunfan was somewhat surprised: "Are you really at the Marrow Cleansing Realm?"

Hearing Xu Yunfan's question, Zhou Daoren's face turned pale and then red, and he was somewhat embarrassed. He grabbed the long sword from the Taoist beside him with one hand, ready to attack again.

At this moment, the young Taoist's face turned ashen, but then a soft laugh came from the depths of the sea of ​​clouds: "What a fine 'Earth Vein Bone Forging' Marrow Cleansing Realm! The Thousand-Pound Mountain-Shaking Hammer Technique of Divine Weapon Ridge does have its merits."

The moment Xu Yunfan pushed open the palace door, it felt as if he had stepped into another world.

The dome of the palace is inlaid with 360 luminous pearls, arranged according to the constellations in the sky.

The ground was a single piece of jade disc resembling a yin-yang symbol, and at the yin-yang boundary of the disc sat an old man with white hair and a youthful face.

He was wearing a purple robe with star patterns, and a green jade hairpin in his hair had faint lightning flashing around it. He was none other than Bi Yuan, the sect leader of Qingwei Mountain.

The mere act of sitting still caused the spiritual energy within a three-zhang radius to form a visible vortex, and the breathing of the bells caused the nine-palace bells hanging from the bronze eaves of the palace roof to ring without wind.

What a grand display!

Xu Yunfan's heart skipped a beat, and the muscles under his dragon scale armor tensed instantly. The spiritual energy here was abundant, and the ancient formations carved on the bronze hall had been activated, which was why there was such a magnificent atmosphere. The ancient formations hidden on the four walls were flashing with Bi Yuan's breathing.

"sit."

With a flick of his sleeve, Bi Yuan sent the prayer mat flying to Xu Yunfan's feet.

The purple clay teapot on the table poured itself out by itself, the tea soup condensing into a small dragon in mid-air before spiraling down into the cup.

The application of true qi is truly miraculous, making one feel as if they possess the power of immortals or gods.

"This tea is called 'Jade Liquid'."

How dare they use the phrase "nectar of the gods"...

Bi Yuan lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, and the small dragon formed from the tea soup began to swim in the cup, its scales, claws, whiskers, and hair all clearly visible.

"The tea leaves are picked from the Nine Luminaries Spirit Tea Tree atop the towering sea of ​​clouds in the Suspended State. Only three ounces can be obtained in thirty years. Even the Great Zhou royal family has to exchange the taxes of three cities for it."
