Chapter 491: Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus
"The Floating Fairy Island is considered a decent force in this area. Why would they chase after Teacher Jian and the others?" Xiao Qing was relieved at first when he heard this, but then he asked in confusion.
"Money can move people's hearts!" Qin Ziling replied.
After saying that, Qin Ziling's mind moved, and Jian Bailou, Feng Ziluo and Zheng Xinghan appeared out of thin air in the valley.
After a short rest and recuperation, the three people from Jian Bailou felt better than before, but their injuries still looked quite scary, especially Zheng Xinghan's arms where white bones were visible, which was the most frightening.
However, the expressions of the three of them were very excited and happy, as if they had completely forgotten that they were seriously injured at the moment.
"Zi Ling, Xiao Qing, do you know what good things we found?" Jian Bailou asked, his beard shaking violently due to his excitement.
"How could we guess this? Teacher, please don't keep us in suspense. Just take it out and let us see it." Qin Ziling said.
"Hehe!" Jian Bailou smiled proudly, then took out a lotus plate as big as a washbasin and completely fiery red from his storage ring.
As soon as the lotus plate was taken out, a faint flame was released, and in the flames, it seemed as if a fire phoenix was about to spread its wings and fly.
The surrounding space was rippling as a result, and a terrifying aura of ancient majesty that seemed to be able to burn everything emanated from the lotus plate.
"This is the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus!" Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing's eyes suddenly widened and they exclaimed in surprise.
Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus is a kind of lotus that is said to grow only where a phoenix dies and its marrow is spilled on the ground.
The lotus seeds produced by this lotus are extremely effective in nourishing the bone marrow, increasing qi and blood, and strengthening the body.
However, this Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus has very strict requirements on its growing environment, is difficult to find, and is extremely rare.
"Yes, it is the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus!" Jian Bailou nodded, then smiled proudly and said, "Not only are there lotus seeds of the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus, but we also dug up three large pieces of Phoenix Blood Jade Marrow underneath it."
As he spoke, a ball of red jade with flames appeared in front of Qin Ziling.
This fiery red jade is flat in shape, nearly three meters long and wide, but only about one meter high.
This red jade is soft and beats like a huge heart. Every time it beats, a phantom of fire suddenly jumps up, and the phantom of fire looks like a huge fire phoenix.
There is a piece of fiery red lotus root growing in the middle of the red jade, which is the lotus root of the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus.
"Good stuff, good stuff!" Qin Ziling stroked the Phoenix Blood Jade Marrow and circled around it, his eyes shining.
Although the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Plate is extremely precious and can increase his martial arts skills, it is a one-time use and will be gone once eaten.
This Phoenix Blood Jade Marrow is different. It can be used to continuously cultivate Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus and cultivate disciples. It can serve as one of the foundations for long-term development.
"Yes, it's a good stuff!" Jian Bailou sighed and gently stroked the Phoenix Blood Jade Marrow with his hand.
While Jian Bailou was expressing his feelings, Feng Ziluo and Zheng Xinghan also took out the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus and Phoenix Blood Jade Marrow. Among them, Zheng Xinghan's chalcedony was the largest, measuring five meters square.
"Teacher, you have made a great contribution this time!" Qin Ziling said in surprise and joy.
"What's the point of mentioning merit or not! You have been working hard for us all these years. It's time for us to make some contributions to our sect." Jian Bailou said.
"That was a stopgap measure in the initial stages. Now that Wuji Sect has developed, we must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. Human feelings are still important, but the most important thing is the rules. If we only emphasize dedication without mentioning rewards and punishments, our sect will only breed a group of lazy people and hypocrites." Qin Ziling waved his hand.
"Although you, as the head of the sect, don't care much about small and trivial matters, your ideas on major issues and the general direction are always very clear. As your teacher, I have to admit that." Jian Bailou looked at Qin Ziling and said with admiration.
"Teacher, please don't praise me. I will become arrogant if you praise me." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"Haha!" Jian Bailou couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard that.
Seeing this, the other three soon started laughing too .
"By the way, teacher, where did you find these Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds and Phoenix Blood Jade Marrow?" Qin Ziling gradually restrained the smile on his face and asked in a deep voice.
"There is a fairy ruins more than 20,000 miles away from Qingyun Fairy Island. These two things were found in that fairy ruins." Jian Bailou hesitated and answered honestly.
"Didn't I tell you to stay within a radius of ten thousand miles and not explore the Immortal Ruins for the time being?" Qin Ziling said with a wry smile when he heard that.
"Fortune and honor are achieved through risk. We can't always protect you!" Jian Bailou said.
After Jian Bailou finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
"I don't mean that. I just think the Immortal Ruins are too dangerous. Now is not the time to explore it." Qin Ziling said after a long time.
"The Immortal Ruins are indeed very dangerous. There are space cracks everywhere. If you are not careful and get sucked into a crack, you will probably die or disappear into nowhere. I once saw an earth immortal who was accidentally sucked into a space crack and disappeared.
In addition to the space cracks, there are also formations and restrictions everywhere in the Immortal Ruins. Some of those formations and restrictions are in the open, and we can find ways to avoid them, but some are in the dark and will suddenly activate after entering. Once we accidentally triggered a restriction and were trapped for two months. Fortunately, the formation restriction was not very powerful, and someone happened to trigger it again, and the restriction formation had a slight fluctuation flaw, and we took the opportunity to escape.
There are many other unknown dangers hidden in the Immortal Ruins. Some of the abysses in the ground lead to unknown places, and there are creatures hiding underneath. Sometimes a huge claw will suddenly stretch out from it and grab people directly. We have experienced at least nine major dangers in the Immortal Ruins.
Fortunately, God has blessed us and we finally escaped danger. But luck will not always be on our side, so don't worry, the life and death experience in the Xianxu in the past six months and such a rich harvest are enough for us. In the short term, we will definitely not venture into the Xianxu again. Even if we venture into the Xianxu, we will wait until our cultivation is sufficient before making plans. "Jian Bailou said with lingering fear.
"Nine times of great danger, it was really a life-and-death situation!" Qin Ziling couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard this.
"Yes, it was truly a life-and-death situation. I wonder what the situation is like for Brother Lai and the others?" Jian Bailou sighed, with a hint of worry on his face.
"Could it be that Teacher Lai and the others..." Qin Ziling's face changed slightly.
"What do you think? We are all from poor places. We have all suffered a lot and experienced many life and death tests to get to where we are today. Now everyone's cultivation has greatly increased, and there are many opportunities in this place. Do you think they will be content with stability and not take risks?
Besides, Brother Lai, Qi Yu and the others are all big names in Xuanming Continent, all of them are arrogant and proud. They have received so much kindness from you over the years, and they have relied on you to distribute resources to cultivate to where they are now. How could they not want to give back a little?" Jian Bailou analyzed.
Qin Ziling remained silent for a long time after hearing this, and then nodded and said, "Now we can only hope that they will have good luck too."
"Don't worry, you are a lucky man. If we follow you, our luck won't be much worse!" Jian Bailou said, looking at Qin Ziling with confidence.
Qin Ziling did not refute when he heard this.
He didn't believe in luck before, but now he believes in it a little.
Although the journey was extremely difficult and dangerous, just like going through a heavenly tribulation, and although God turned against him halfway through and made it extremely dangerous, he was able to escape danger in the end, and his cultivation level continued to rise.
Of course, Qin Ziling would not be so foolish as to think that he could be fearless just because he had luck on his side. He could kill any immortal who stood in his way, and any Buddha who stood in his way!
Luck and seeking death are definitely two different things!
"By the way, teachers, how come you guys are fighting with the people from the floating island?" Qin Ziling was silent for a while and then asked.
"We survived many life-threatening situations in the Immortal Ruins, and finally got a great opportunity to get out. When we came out, we happened to meet the four people from the Floating Island.
When they saw us coming out of the Immortal Ruins, and that we were unfamiliar faces and our cultivation was average, they came up and said that this was the sea area of the Floating Island, and asked us to hand over half of what we had obtained in the Immortal Ruins.
We said we didn't have any gains, so they asked us to hand over our storage rings for them to look at. We naturally refused, so we took advantage of their carelessness and fled.
When they saw us fleeing, they naturally believed that we had gained something in the Immortal Ruins, and they bullied the three of us because we were far less powerful than them, so they chased us all the way. Fortunately, you left us a token. We fled all the way and couldn't tell the exact distance. We broke a piece every once in a while, and finally called you here. "Jian Bailou replied.
"This floating island is really too much! The Immortal Ruins is a recognized unowned land. Everyone can explore it and look for opportunities. Even the Fire Ape Nation has no regulations that require half of the things obtained from the Immortal Ruins to be handed over." Qin Ziling frowned.
"That's right. The opportunities in the Immortal Ruins are exchanged for one's life. Why should we give them half?" Feng Ziluo said.
"Half? If you really take out the Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds, it would be strange if they let us go!" Jian Bailou said with a sarcastic look on his face.
"Strength! Only when we have enough strength are we qualified to reason with them! Just like the last time Tu Liao came to attack our Qingyun Fairy Island, the people from the Floating Island could come and talk to him, but who else dared to come up and talk to him?" Zheng Xinghan said in a deep voice.
"That's right. Only if we have strength can we talk reason and rules with others. Otherwise, everything depends on our own conscience and humanity." Qin Ziling nodded.
After that, Qin Ziling took out some golden lightning liquid and gave five drops to each of the three people in Jian Bailou, saying: "Teacher, you are seriously injured this time, you should heal as soon as possible."
This golden thunder liquid contains pure new power. Even if Jian Bailou and others have broken through to become earth immortals and human immortals, this golden thunder liquid still has miraculous effects in healing wounds. It is better than some of the healing elixirs produced in the Pingyu Mountain blessed land, but the dosage must be increased.
"Okay!" The three of them took five drops of golden thunder liquid, and then went to the courtyard built by the lake to recuperate.
After the five people left, Qin Ziling looked at the three Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotuses and three pieces of Phoenix Blood Jade Marrow in his hands. After pondering for a moment, he took Xiao Qing into the cave world.
After entering the cave world, Qin Ziling went to see Zuo Le first.
Zuo Le still likes to put a rattan chair under the shade of the trees in the courtyard as before. He lies on the rattan chair with his eyes closed, drinks tea or reads a book when he has nothing to do.
Zuo Le is now a grandmaster, and it is estimated that this is how his life will be. He has little hope of entering the realm of Martial Saint because his talent and bones are limited and he is relatively old. He cannot withstand the marrow refining of thunder sound.
However, compared to ordinary people, the grandmaster's blood and energy are extremely vigorous. He eats spiritual grains and rice every day. In addition, he has lived a comfortable life over the years. Now his complexion is very good, and he looks younger than when he was the dean of Hantie a few years ago.
Although Zuo Le is only a grandmaster, he is in charge of the important position of recording merits and assessing rewards in Wuji Sect.
Qin Ziling asked Zuo Le to record the contributions of the three people from Jian Bailou, and discussed the reward with him and Xiao Qing. After the agreement, he also asked Zuo Le to record it.
After that, Qin Ziling did not stay at Zuo Le's house, but went to the source of Longyuan River, Qianlong Mountain, impatiently.
Qin Ziling found a place at the source of Longyuan River and at the foot of Qianlong Mountain.
This place is where the dragon veins and earth veins converge in the cave world. Purple mist rises and the soil is fertile. It is one of the medicine gardens where the Wuji Sect grows spiritual medicines, and there are special Wuji Sect disciples who manage and care for it.
When they saw the headmaster and his wife coming together, they hurried forward to greet them.
Qin Ziling greeted them with a smile, then used the earth escape technique to dive underground into the medicinal garden.
After entering the underground, Qin Ziling took out three large pieces of Phoenix Blood Jade Marrow and buried them where the dragon veins and earth veins converged.
As soon as these three pieces of Phoenix Blood Jade Marrow were buried , the entire cave world suddenly changed.
The sounds of dragon roaring and phoenix crying rang out in the cave world.
Above the source of the Longyuan River, there appeared a scene of dragons and phoenixes dancing and bringing good luck.
Everyone in the cave world was alarmed and came out to look.
The withered lotus root now exuded a strong vitality and even grew a little bit upwards.
Qin Ziling couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this. This lotus root could be said to be an old root. If it could grow again, the medicinal effect of the Jadeite Fire Phoenix Lotus that grew from it might not be as good as the lotus seeds in the lotus plate brought back by Jian Bailou and the other two, but the difference should not be too big.
If the lotus root cannot grow and Qin Ziling needs to replant it with lotus seeds, then the year will be different and the medicinal effect will definitely be very different.
After the surprise, Qin Ziling crawled out of the ground.
He looked up at the strange phenomenon appearing in the sky, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"One dragon and one phoenix, one yang and one yin, one life and one death, dragon and phoenix bring good luck, dragon and tiger interact, the way of heaven and earth is ever-changing, but in the end, all things return to their roots, returning to simplicity..."
As a trace of enlightenment emerged in Qin Ziling's mind, the Yin-Yang Golden Pill in his Dantian underwent a subtle change. The two Yin-Yang Immortal Fetuses, which originally looked weaker than other Immortal Fetuses, were growing slowly, but there was no sign of them triggering any heavenly tribulation.
As the Yin-Yang Immortal Fetus continued to grow in obscurity and seemed to be catching up with the other five Immortal Fetuses, a rune seal was formed in the Yin-Yang Immortal Fetus that seemed extremely complex, full of mysterious secrets, but gave people a feeling of being indescribably simple, as simple as a stroke of a pen.
This rune seal is just like the two immortal fetuses, clearly black and white, indescribably simple and clear, but it contains the most mysterious and profound principles in the world.
Soon, the auspicious visions of dragons and phoenixes flying in the sky and dragons and phoenixes disappear.
Qin Ziling gave some careful instructions to the disciples who were looking after the medicine garden, then he and Xiao Qing left the cave world and returned to the cave residence in the Five Elements Mountain.
"Xiao Qing, take my move!" After returning to the cave in the Five Elements Mountain, Qin Ziling said to Xiao Qing lightly.
As he spoke, Qin Ziling formed a seal with his hands. One seal was black and one was white, exactly the same as the rune seal in his immortal fetus.
"Okay!" Xiao Qing agreed, looking at the seal formed in Qin Ziling's hands, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he took out the Qinglong Spear in an instant.
The innate qi and blood energy in the body began to run wildly, and the strength of the muscles, bones, and five internal organs was also mobilized, gathering together to grasp the arms.
"Whoosh!"
The gun shot out like a dragon and as fast as lightning.
There was a strong wind in the valley and the trees were shaking.
The void where the Qinglong Spear pierced caused ripples, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake.
The center of the ripples was exactly where the Qinglong Spear pierced.
“Bang!”
The tip of the Qinglong spear pierced the seal.
The seal suddenly shone brightly, black and white merged, and kept spinning, like a wheel of life and death. Life and death, yin and yang, even heaven and earth seemed to rotate along with it. Two completely different forces were constantly circulating and alternating.
Xiao Qing's face changed slightly, his arm shook violently, and the Qinglong Spear swung violently like a dragon, pulling itself out of the cycle of life and death, the alternation of yin and yang.
"What kind of martial arts is this? It combines two completely opposite forces. It is very difficult to deal with and difficult to transform the strength. It gives people an extremely uncomfortable feeling." Xiao Qing fought with Qin Ziling several times in succession, but every time Xiao Qing had to draw his gun and retreat, not daring to tangle with the seal for a long time.
"This is the power of life and death, yin and yang combined together. Let's call it the Seal of Life and Death!" Qin Ziling replied.
"This seal is really powerful. You are only at the Golden Core stage now, and I can still compete with you. But once you break through and become an Earth Immortal, I will definitely not be able to withstand this seal of life and death." Xiao Qing said.
“This time, the teacher and his friends brought back Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds. According to the records in the Cangyun Palace’s Sutra Library, this item is an extremely precious elixir that nourishes and strengthens Qi and blood. It is difficult to buy even with immortal stones.
The Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds that the teacher and his friends brought back this time contain very pure and powerful energy. They are estimated to be quite old, and the cultivation of the Phoenix Marrow Master must be extremely high, so such high-quality Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds can be grown. You are now at the peak of the late stage of rebirth. With the help of these Phoenix Marrow Fire Lotus Seeds, you should be able to overcome the heavenly tribulation again soon.
Once you have survived the heavenly tribulation and become a Dharmakaya realm immortal, you will have many more ways to change. With your foundation, you should be able to suppress an earth immortal in the late stage of the immortal infant, and even a first-grade true immortal should be able to compete with you." Qin Ziling said.
