Chapter 167 Human Heart
"The immortal envoy has arrived, and the peppercorns are shining brightly!"
Xu Yang welcomed a person into Yulong Island.
It was Bai Yunzi, the green jade immortal envoy.
Looking at the ordinary Yulong Island, which had some changes but not much, and the heroic and upright young man in front of him, Bai Yunzi also sighed in his heart.
Twenty years ago, the Dongting Arena began, and a battle of life and death determined the ownership of the spiritual land of "Fish Dragon Island".
For this reason, Li Jianchen, the leader of the Li family, fought three times in a row. In the end, he risked his life and used the residual style of the Gold Core sword to fight Zhou Mingyu, the ancestor of the Zhou family, to the point where both sides were injured.
It can be described as tragic.
Later, although Yulong Island was acquired by the Li family, bad news came out within ten years. The head of the family, "Li Jianchen", died at the end of his life. His son "Li Liuxian" took over as the head of the family, took charge of the Li family, and guarded Yulong Island.
Compared with the Li family, the Zhou and Wang families were even more miserable. Zhou Mingyu, the ancestor of the Zhou family in Foundation Building Late Stage, was attacked and killed on the way back because he was wounded by a sword. Not only did he fall, but also the family's accumulation and treasures fell into the trap. adversary.
The Zhou family's Optimizing Pillar collapsed. The Rank Two Middle Grade Qingfeng Mountain Spirit Vein, as well as the Xiuzhenfang City that the Zhou family worked hard to run, became the target of public criticism. All parties fought openly and secretly for this, and several Foundation Buildings died one after another. The monks and two other Foundation Building forces were brutally wiped out, causing a bloody storm.
In the end, it was the Qingyu Sect who came forward and took over Qingfengshanfang City, and the turmoil subsided.
The two families of Zhou Wang suffered heavy casualties, and even lost their souls. The family inheritance was fundamental.
On the other hand, the Li family, although they also defeated the head of the family, Li Jianchen, but with their power as a swordsman and their steadfastness in fighting for the spiritual land, they still shocked all parties and gained twenty years of stable development.
Now, twenty years have passed. Although Li Jianchen has passed away, his son Li Liuxian has also advanced his cultivation to the middle stage of Foundation Building. He is also a swordsman and has extraordinary combat power. He is quite like his father. He is more than capable of guarding fish and dragons.
Logically speaking, this should be the case.
But……
Bai Yunzi sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm.
Xu Yang saw it in his eyes and said nothing.
The two of them swam around the fish and dragon like this and then returned to the living room.
"This is the Red Leaf Immortal Tea. I would like to ask the Immortal Envoy to taste it."
"My dear nephew, you're welcome!"
After some courtesy, Bai Yunzi put down the tea cup and said to Xu Yang, "Although Brother Li left early, with a good nephew to succeed him, the Li family will surely prosper."
"The immortal envoy praises me greatly."
Xu Yang shook his head: "Liu Xian is stupid and not as good as my father. I am lucky enough to keep the family fortune. I don't dare to think otherwise."
"ha!"
Bai Yunzi smiled without comment, just looked around, and then said: "Your spirit is already Rank One Middle Grade. If you raise it for another twenty or thirty years, you should be able to be promoted to Rank One High Grade."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Yang: "According to the rules of my Qingyu Sect, the Rank One High Grade spiritual land will open a market. In addition, Brother Li made an appointment with me back then to exempt the Li family from twenty years of hard labor. Now twenty years have passed." The year has passed and this matter cannot be continued. My nephew, please be prepared. The sect's orders will come at any time."
Xu Yang nodded and said calmly: "Liu Xian understands."
"Just understand, that's fine. Just understand."
Seeing that he was as calm as water and accepted it calmly, Bai Yunzi also nodded secretly.
The land of Liang Kingdom is controlled by three sects. Although the various Foundation Building forces can also be present, they must actually obey the orders of the sect, enter its system, and serve for it.
If nothing else, let’s talk about the spiritual land. Even though this spiritual land belongs to you in name, the actual ownership is still with the Qingyu Sect. You are just a tenant. If you can’t pay the rent and complete the labor, then the Qingyu Sect will Have the right to take it back.
Not only that, after your spiritual land has been cultivated to a certain extent, you have to follow the orders of the Qingyu Sect to open a cultivation market, let the Qingyu Sect move in, and open a "Qingyu House" to sell various items of the Qingyu Sect.
After the market is opened, the taxes and labor in the spiritual land will also increase. You must ensure the operation of the market so that you can earn Spirit Stones while paying taxes.
If the business is not managed well and fails to make ends meet, resulting in the closure of the market, the spiritual land will also be taken back by the Qingyu Sect.
Quite severely squeezed.
But this is the case in the world of cultivation. The weak eat the strong, and they are squeezed layer by layer. The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp.
No one can be alone. He either gets on this chariot and exists in this system, or he becomes the enemy of this system.
Develop secretly and grow bigger secretly?
Wishful thinking, absolutely impossible.
Back then, Xu Yang established his authority in one battle, sang a good show, and smashed a lot of Spirit Stones, so he was exempted from twenty years of hard labor.
Nowadays, time has passed and the situation has changed. This "contract" can no longer be renewed.
Seeing that Xu Yang was so knowledgeable, Bai Yunzi no longer hesitated: "My dear nephew, to tell you the truth, my term as the Jade Immortal Envoy will soon expire."
"oh?"
Xu Yang raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "I wonder where the immortal envoy will be promoted?"
"What a promotion."
Bai Yunzi shook his head: "After returning to the sect to report on your duties, you can become an elder and enjoy your life."
After that, he looked at Xu Yang again: "Your father and I are friends, so there is one thing..."
The words stopped for a moment and were not continued.
Xu Yang looked at him and knew what he meant: "Please ask the immortal envoy for advice."
With that said, he handed over a storage bag.
"Hey, how could this happen!"
Bai Yunzi shook his head, but still accepted the storage bag: "After I leave, the person who will take over is the Gold Core seed of my Qingyu Sect, the beloved disciple of the law enforcement elder, named Lin Juefeng!"
"Gold Core Seed?"
"Lin Juefeng?"
Xu Yang frowned and looked at Bai Yunzi: "This..."
"He is a swordsman!"
Bai Yunzi coughed lightly and said pointedly: "A sword cultivator who is obsessed with swords."
"..."
Xu Yang was silent after hearing this. After a moment, he said: "I understand, thank you Immortal Envoy for your advice."
"Why!"
Bai Yunzi shook his head, stood up and said, "My dear nephew, I know your character. You must be similar to Brother Li, but there are some things that you must endure if you need to, and give in if you need to. Take a step back, the world is wide!"
After that, regardless of Xu Yang's reaction, he stood up, patted his shoulder, and walked out.
"Immortal messenger, walk slowly."
Xu Yang looked at him, then stood up and walked out the door.
After a moment, a ray of light flew out of the sea of clouds in the Dongting.
Xu Yang stood on the shore and watched the other party leave.
Then, with a wave of his sleeves and robe, a spiritual light emerged.
“Buzz!!!”
The void shook, the sword energy surged, and the sea of clouds in the Dongting changed, immediately covering the fish and dragon.
The island that was just ordinary now suddenly surged with smoke and clouds, like a fairyland.
The waves came in, and figures appeared in the water. The women were beautiful and radiant, and the men were tall and heroic.
There were also several old men with hunched backs and waists, but they were not slow. Instead, they were walking as fast as flying, and they were all full of energy.
Yulong Island, which was a little empty and lonely just now, suddenly became full of people and very lively.
Everyone who returned from the lake returned to their jobs.
When someone came to the field, they saw the void twisting and the formations changing wonderfully. The Spirit Field, which was originally planted with Rank One Spirit Rice, turned over and revealed a dense, yellow rice field with a sea of golden ears and aura of light.
“This Golden Spiritual Rice is growing really well!”
"As expected of Rank Three Spirit Rice!"
"The monks of the Jade Sect are really mortal with their naked eyes. There are so many Rank Three Spirit Rice and so many thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine planted here, but they can't see any clues."
"Of course, the Master has such Divine Ability. This Rank Three illusory formation is connected with the spiritual land, and the formations are interlocked with each other. There is also the master's wonderful method. It is completely natural and perfect inside and outside. Not to mention those monks, they are the masters of the Qingyu Sect. , and that Gold Core elder comes over, and he’s going to be blinded as well.”
"Hmph, what kind of Qingyu Sect is looking for immortal envoys, arrogant and ignorant, masters with Divine Ability, who have not yet been called immortals and ancestors, they dare to call us Immortal Sect, and come to us every few years to cause trouble. They really don't know how to live or die. .”
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and work quickly!"
Everyone was chatting and doing things in the field.
Xu Yang stood by the lake and ignored the words of the clams, fish spirits, shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command.
In recent years, due to external pressure from the three Gold Core sects, he has not aggressively expanded his power, let alone openly recruited disciples.
After all, from the outside, Yulong Island is just a Rank One Low Grade spiritual land. It is still artificially shaped, and the spiritual energy is so thin that the Li family cannot use it themselves. There is no reason to invite outsiders to share it. Doesn't that clearly indicate that there is a problem?
It cannot recruit disciples from outside, but it must develop its power.
Therefore, Xu Yang can only cultivate Spirit Beasts, use the enlightenment power of beast control skills and earth beast skills to continuously enlighten Spirit Beasts, especially the aquatic Spirit Beasts, and then teach them the Taiyin training method of the Taoist world.
In this way, a group of spirits appeared on the island.
To this day, these spirits can not only share his work, but also cultivate their own magic power. They have made great achievements in alchemy, artifact refining, talisman making, array formation and other fields. They can not only be used as technical talents for production, but also as combatants. The monks went into battle.
Even if Xu Yang doesn't take action, his monsters alone can drive out all the monks under the Gold Core of the Jade Sect.
Unfortunately, it’s only available under Gold Core.
He himself has not even become a Gold Core, let alone the monsters under his command.
And now the Gold Core sect, Qingyu Sect...
"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!"
Xu Yang shook his head, then cast a spell and recited a spell.
"Heavenly Sovereign decrees that the sun will perform the truth of the law. The five-color auspicious clouds descend from the nine heavens. The golden light of the dragon shines cleanly on the universe. All the gods are called to Longhua. The descending altar is all broken by the iron mouth. You are not allowed to be invisible and speak false words. Heavenly Sovereign. The three or seven words of the immortal god, Xuanmen Chengguang writes down, I am reporting the order of the Primordial Spirit of the Haotian God to descend the light!"
In the sound of chanting the mantra, the spiritual light condenses and converges in the center of the eyebrows to form a talisman, and then beats like eyes.
It's the Mysterious Light technique!
In the world of Taoism, Xu Yang has already practiced this technique to the limit. Not only has he achieved the Divine Ability of "Chongmu Tianyan", his Taoism skills have also developed related characteristics.
It's just that the characteristic level of Chongmu Tianyan is quite high, and he has to reincarnate for Xin Shisi Niang, so he hasn't been able to transfer it back and needs to wait for a while.
Fortunately, the "Daofa Celestial Master" also has an increase in the Mysterious Light technique. Coupled with his current Foundation Building Great Completion cultivation, almost no one can detect the abnormality as long as they don't check the Gold Core monks.
so……
The spiritual eyes are opened, and the Mysterious Light becomes still.
In the Mysterious Light mirror, I saw a man and a woman, standing on a jade boat, having a conversation.
"Senior Brother Lin!"
The woman wearing a sapphire robe with a proud figure said, "I just received news that Master Bai Yunzi has gone to Yulong Island. It seems that he may reveal your information."
"Just reveal it."
The man who was called "Senior Brother Lin" smiled lightly and didn't care: "If he goes, I won't have to say anything. This old fox is very shrewd. If the Li family is wise, they will definitely give him a benefit, and he I will also persuade the Li family to present the entire sword art, wouldn’t everyone be happy like that?”
"Well said."
The woman nodded, then frowned: "But what if he can't persuade the Li family? I heard that the previous head of the Li family, Li Jianchen, was quite talented in swordsmanship. He originally fought for the Dongting Spiritual Land. He did not hesitate to risk his life in the fight, and even used the Gold Core Sword Technique, which resulted in a great loss of life."
"Sword cultivation character?"
"Is he worthy?"
"snort!"
The man snorted coldly, put his hands behind his hands and said, "I just became a monk halfway, and by chance, I got a Gold Core Sword Art. Without any financial background, I naturally had to risk my life, and in the end I lost my life."
"Although he is a skilled swordsman, he is not reckless. Li Jianchen sacrificed his life for his family because he could not see the way forward. His potential was exhausted. Even with the Gold Core sword technique, he could not break through. Therefore, he risked his life to win for his family. It’s just a piece of inheritance land.”
The man said coldly and disdainfully: "You don't even have the courage to draw your sword forward, fight through thorns, Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate, and yet you dare to call yourself a swordsman. What a joke."
After saying that, he raised his head to the sky and murmured: "We monks are going against the will of heaven. Even if there is a natural chasm in front of us, we must stride forward. We will never regret it and never give up. Any obstacle will be split with one sword. Only in this way can one be a cultivator, Sword Dao a cultivator."
"Senior brother..."
Such words made the woman dazzled and she looked at him in fascination: "Senior brother is indeed the Gold Core seed of my Qing Jade Immortal Sect. On the day of the sect competition, he will be able to defeat the others and become the number one prodigy of our Qing Jade Immortal Sect."
Xu Yang: "..."
"Ha, thank you junior sister for your kind words!"
The man smiled and then shook his head: "But Zhuo Buqun and Feng Ningxian are not weak. If you want to defeat them in the competition, you have to win the Gold Core Sword Technique."
"What senior brother said is true."
The woman nodded, but was worried: "But what if the Li family really only has that one bad move?"
"impossible!"
The man said in a cold voice: "Both I and Master have seen that unique move and both say it is excellent. It must have come from a superior Gold Core Sword Technique."
"Then since the Li family has obtained a partial move, they can hope to obtain its complete copy. Even if the complete copy is not available, this partial move must have its origin. As long as you follow the clues, you will definitely be able to obtain its sword technique."
The man stood with his hands behind his back and said in a cold voice: "It would be best if the Li family knew what was going on and offered him the sword technique. If he doesn't know what to do, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"this……"
The woman was a little worried and said hesitantly: "Would it break the sect's rules?"
"rule?"
"ha!"
The man smiled and didn't care: "Junior sister, don't worry. I just said that sword cultivator is not a reckless person. I know what to do, and I will definitely not find any fault with you."
"Senior brother said that, I feel relieved."
"..."
Looking at the two people in the Mysterious Light mirror, Xu Yang was silent for a while, still not knowing what to say.
Staying in the Taoist world for too long has reduced his resistance to this kind of stuff.
A little... I feel like vomiting.
But that's not important.
The important thing is...
"Qingyu Sect?"
"Gold Core?"
"ha!"
Xu Yang smiled and dispersed the Mysterious Light: "Deploy the altar and prepare for the ritual!"
"yes!"
In the void, a response sounded.
After a while, the command was spread throughout the world, and Yulong Island stagnated for a moment, then suddenly started to rotate.
