Chapter 453: Do you know Jiuxuan Mountain?
"How many Jindan cultivators are currently left in the Taiding Sect?" Qin Ziling asked after a moment's silence.
"Three middle-stage cultivators and six early-stage Jindan cultivators." Lai Yinuan replied.
"The Tianyan Sect has only two Jindan cultivators, but the Taiding Sect has so many. What about other sects?" Qin Ziling said with a frown.
"Even without Zhuang Yuanmo, Taiding Sect is the most powerful among the eight major forces, and our Tianyan Sect is ranked behind. Among the other sects, the Red Python Demon Sect and Xuanshui Sect are relatively strong, and each of them has two mid-stage Jindan cultivators. Qingfeng Sect, Tianshi Sect, and Youming Sect all have only one mid-stage Jindan cultivator.
Originally, our Tianyan Sect also had a mid-stage Jindan cultivator in charge, but he went out to sea a few years ago to look for opportunities, so the pillar became the Grand Elder Shang Pu. Grand Elder Shang Pu is a double Jindan, and has been famous for a long time. He can barely be considered a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, but there are fewer early Jindan cultivators.
But now none of this matters. What matters is that an Immortal Infant Patriarch has appeared in Taiding Sect. In the past, Zhuang Yuanmo was a late Jindan cultivator, and when all the Jindan cultivators united, Zhuang Yuanmo was somewhat afraid of him. But now he is an Immortal Infant Patriarch, and even if all the Jindan cultivators united, they can no longer threaten him. "Lai Yi Nuan replied.
"Why don't other forces have a late Jindan cultivator? If there are several late Jindan cultivators, plus Zi Ling, they should be able to compete with Zhuang Yuanmo." Qin Zaixin asked.
"How many people in this world are like Zhuang Yuanmo, who is both a genius in cultivation and has great fortune, and has cultivated to the late Jindan realm just after the age of sixty? Among the eight major forces, cultivators who can cultivate to the late Jindan are rare, and when they cultivate to the late Jindan, they basically have very little life left to impact the Xianying realm.
At this time, they were all thinking about reaching the Immortal Infant realm, so they had to leave Xuanming Continent and go out to sea to try. If they succeeded, they would become Earth Immortals, not only would their strength increase greatly, but their life span could reach thousands of years. If they failed, they would just live a few years less. Zhuang Yuanmo was different. He had a great opportunity, a lot of resources in his hands, and he was young. He still had more than 400 years to reach the Immortal Infant realm, so he would not leave Xuanming Continent early. "Lai Yi Nuan explained.
"Now in the entire Xuanming Continent, you, Ziling, are the only one who still has hope of competing with Zhuang Yuanmo!" Qin Jianmei said.
"It seems that Zhuang Yuanmo has a very bad character, otherwise the Tianyan Sect would not be so worried about his rise." Qin Ziling said.
"This person is arrogant and overbearing, and acts based on his own preferences." Lai Yi Nuan said.
"It would indeed be a disaster if such a person rose to power, but I need time," Qin Ziling said.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this.
"Fortunately, the news of the battle at Fulao Pass has not spread. As for the battle at Qincheng, although your performance was amazing, to Zhuang Yuanmo you were still just a small figure below the Golden Core level. Such an arrogant person like him would not bother to pay attention to you. So you still have time to prepare. Over the years, we must have only been able to pretend to be submissive and accept everything." Lai Yinuan said.
"Then the matter of our Qin family taking over the Jiang family..." Qin Zaixin asked after hesitating.
"That's fine. The battle of Qincheng is known to the world. The rise of the Qin family is a foregone conclusion, and the Jiang family has indeed governed the Great Qi Kingdom very poorly. It is normal for the Tianyan Sect to decide to replace the royal family and let the Qin family rule the Great Qi Kingdom. Of course, before Zi Ling has the strength to compete with Zhuang Yuanmo, the Sitianjian must still be controlled by the Tianyan Sect. Otherwise, it would be abnormal if it were to get out." Lai Yinuan waved his hand.
"Uncle, you don't need to worry too much. You have this concern because you know some of my background, but in fact, in the eyes of the earthly immortals, I am just an ant. They will not pay special attention to me. Of course, you still need to be cautious." Qin Ziling followed with a sentence.
"That's true." Lai Yi Nuan nodded, and then his expression suddenly became solemn.
"Zi Ling, we came here today not only to discuss the Qin family's entry into the Great Qi Kingdom and Zhuang Yuanmo, but also to discuss an important matter with you."
"Teacher, you say."
"The two supreme elders and the sect master said that if you are willing to join the Tianyan Sect, you can take the position of sect master." Lai Yinuan said.
As Lai Yi Nuan finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.
All eyes were focused on Qin Ziling.
For Qin Zaixin, Jian Bailou and others, Tianyan Sect was once a superpower that truly controlled their power of life and death.
In the past, being able to become a disciple of the Tianyan Sect was a matter of supreme honor.
But now, Tianyan Sect invited Qin Ziling to take the position of Sect Leader, which was something that they could not even think about in the past.
"Teacher, please go back and tell the two supreme elders and the sect master that I have a deep connection with the Tianyan Sect. If the Tianyan Sect is in trouble, I will never sit idly by. As for joining the Tianyan Sect and taking the position of sect master, that's fine." However, Qin Ziling refused without hesitation.
His Wuji Sect has now begun to take shape, and he has abundant resources at hand. Not long ago, he even found the portal leading to the small wind and thunder barrier. There is no need for him to submit to the Tianyan Sect and be bound by it.
When everyone saw Qin Ziling refuse Tianyan Sect's invitation, they all felt complicated.
I don’t know whether to be happy or disappointed.
"Teacher, do you know Jiuxuan Mountain?" Qin Ziling seemed not to notice the complicated expressions of the crowd and quickly changed the subject.
"Jiuxuan Mountain?" Lai Yinuan frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, "Is it powerful?"
"It should be very powerful and will not lose to the eight major forces." Qin Ziling replied.
"The most powerful forces in Xuanming Continent are only the eight major ones. So it seems that Jiuxuan Mountain must be overseas. In these years, I have only traveled near the coast at most and have never set foot anywhere farther. I have never heard of Jiuxuan Mountain. Perhaps we can ask the two supreme elders. They are Jindan cultivators and have been to many places. Maybe they have heard of it." Lai Yinuan said.
"In that case, I will go to Tianyan Sect in a while and ask the two supreme elders for advice in person." Qin Ziling said.
"Okay." Lai Yi Nuan nodded and said, "If you need any cultivation resources, you can ask the two great elders for them."
Qin Ziling nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "By the way, teacher, do you know Chi Luo Sect?"
"I have heard of Chiluo Sect. It is a Qi-refining sect on an island in the sea near the north of Xuanming Continent. The strength of Chiluo Sect should be comparable to the four major sects of Daqi Kingdom. There is a Xuanshi in the sect, and it occasionally interacts with Xuanming Continent. Why are you suddenly asking about Chiluo Sect?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered. There is a Panchi Mountain in Qinghe County, and there is a Chilong dragon vein hidden under the mountain. Every thirty years, people from the Chi Luo Sect will bring ten Chi Luo here, and then use their blood to open the Chilong Mountain dragon vein, and release the Chi Luo into the dragon vein to absorb dragon energy and evolve." Qin Ziling replied.
"I see. But dragons are good at changing, they can appear and disappear, and dragon veins are even more mysterious. Once they hide, even an earthly immortal cannot find them. Moreover, even if the dragon vein shows an exit, it is usually limited by the laws of space. Just like the small wind and thunder barrier, not everyone can enter if they want to." Lai Yi Nuan said with relief after hearing this.
Qin Ziling smiled faintly without commenting when he heard this.
Next, the two sides chatted for a while, and then Qin Ziling went into the kitchen and prepared a table of dishes himself.
After eating and drinking, Lai Yinuan returned to the mountain gate, while Qin Jianmei and four other elders of the Qin family stayed behind.
"Uncle, if Sister Zitang leaves Longtan, you can come with her to Fangqiao County to practice in . The affairs of the clan can be temporarily handed over to your two great uncles." Qin Ziling said.
"Okay." Qin Zaixin showed a hint of excitement when he heard this.
He knew that Qin Ziling was preparing to teach him and Qin Zitang the secret method of marrow refining.
"Where are Zijiao and Xingjun?" After the excitement, Qin Zaixin asked hesitantly.
"Let them hone their skills for a few more years and see." Qin Ziling said calmly.
Both of them are Qin family prides and are somewhat arrogant. Last time when the situation was urgent, Qin Ziling helped them. Now he is unwilling to teach them the secret method of marrow refining too early.
"Okay!" Although Qin was a little disappointed in his heart, he still replied solemnly.
Then, Qin Ziling discussed some Qin family matters with the four elders of the Qin family, and then he stood up and saw the four elders off.
…
late at night.
Qin Ziling stood alone with his eyes closed at the foot of Panchi Mountain in Qinghe County.
"Found it!" Qin Ziling suddenly opened his eyes, a look of surprise on his face.
Then, the soil under Qin Ziling's feet seemed to melt and gradually became like water. Qin Ziling sank down and disappeared.
Bloodline magical power, earth escape!
Qin Ziling was walking under the earth. The surrounding soil and rocks, as soon as they came into contact with the blood and energy emitted by his bloodline magical pattern, seemed to turn into water, allowing people to walk through it at will.
Qin Ziling walked all the way down.
As he went deeper and deeper, his speed became slower and slower, and it became more and more difficult.
Just when Qin Ziling was finding it a bit difficult to hold on, he suddenly felt light all over.
A cave suddenly appeared in front of us.
In the air above the cave, there was a small Chilong about four or five meters long, surrounded by clouds and mist, with a crystal clear body and a long beard.
The scales on this Chilong are lifelike, its long beard is still fluttering slowly, and it exudes a soft yet powerful aura of strength, but it has no spirituality.
In the middle of this crystal clear little Chilong's body is a bright red blood line.
The blood line looked very thin, but to Qin Ziling it felt like a quietly flowing river of blood.
The gentle yet powerful aura was emitted by this river of blood.
"It should be that the blood of the Chilong merged into the underground river of Panchi Mountain and turned into a dragon vein. Usually it hides deep underground and cannot be found. It will emit the aura of the dragon vein every thirty years to evolve the world. The descendants of the Chilong used the blood to open the portal and put the transformed Chi into the dragon vein world, absorbing some dragon energy to evolve."
Looking at the blood line in the Chilong's body, Qin Ziling's eyes flashed with thought.
