Immortal Formula

  Chapter 539 The painting tower flies towards Nanpu cloud

Gu Yan nodded, then took out a jade box from her bosom and said, "I've sorted these elixir into different categories. They are what I use when my disciples are cultivating impact pills. And use, and remember that no matter how good the medicine is, it is not the way of cultivation itself, it can be supplemented, and it cannot be completely relied on.”

She smelled of exhortation, Gan Biwu took it, and Gu Yan said: "It's still more than half a year before the opening of the Sword Washing Pond, but I'm going to set off in a few days. After arriving in Cangwu, I haven't If you have been out of Yunze, you can go to more places to travel. My disciple silently said, please take care of the head."

She took out another jade bottle from her bosom and handed it over, "Moyan's foundation is too thick, so that the barrier is too strong to break through when the foundation is established. I guess she will retreat this time in a few years. If I don't make it in time If you reply, please use this elixir and jade talisman to protect her."

  Gan Biwu took the jade bottle and handed it over to Lin Zitong, letting her take full responsibility for the matter. When Moyan was in Lingyuan, he was the best friend with Lin Zitong and Zhu Ying, so Gu Yan was relieved. She listened to Gan Biwu saying something about Bixia Sect, but she only listened to her ears and didn't express her opinion. It's just that I have a better understanding of Yun Ze's current situation.

After Gan Biwu finished speaking, the rest of the people told them about their affairs one by one, Gu Yan just listened, noncommittal, and when everyone had finished speaking, she smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard, Bixia Sect. To be able to have today, it is all thanks to all of you, and in the future we will have to do more." She stood up and bowed to the surroundings, and everyone thanked them, saying they did not dare.

Gu Yan said: "I intend to leave this place for a trip to Cangjian Villa. The return date of this trip is difficult to determine, it may be as short as one or two years, or as long as six or seven years, and there may not be other opportunities. I will leave a talisman. If there is an urgent matter, You can use this talisman to communicate with me, and you will know." After speaking, she gave the talisman to Gan Biwu.

Gan Biwu respectfully took it, and took out another jade talisman and handed it over, "This is the unique talisman of the elders of this sect. The sect now has branches in Yunze counties and even other countries. The elders are here. The resources of this sect can be used at will."

  Gu Yan took it and put it in her arms. She looked up at the sky, and when it was noon, she smiled and said, "I'll go here. There will always be a time to meet in the future. Goodbye!"

   waved to the crowd, and where he stepped on, a purple light shot up into the sky and flew away.

  Lin Zitong looked at her back, and the circles around her eyes were a little red. Over the years, although Gu Yan has been in seclusion, but her reputation as a big shocker in Yunze has shocked the Bixia Sect, and now Gu Yan turns and leaves in a dashing manner, just like the one who has been protecting the Bixia Sect. The shield was suddenly taken off. I don't know, will there be a chance to meet in the future?

  Gan Biwu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Cultivators pursue the Dao for a long time, and gathering, dispersing, and reuniting is a common thing. If you can't even look at this, then what are you talking about in your practice?"

  Lin Zitong nodded with red eyes, "I understand, but I just don't give up."

Gan Biwu sighed: "Elder Gu's move has a deep meaning, it is for the good of Bixia Sect. Although she has been in seclusion all these years, the name she made in those years is resounding. If she is here, even if she is in power The Qin family also wants to avoid our limelight. But if it goes on like this, Bixiazong can't be regarded as a real big faction. Only when she leaves, if she can still stand out in Yunze and develop and grow, can it be regarded as a real faction. She is qualified to stand in the forest of Cangwu." She said leisurely, "Let's not let her down on her profound meaning."

  Gu Yan stood on Ziyun Gui and watched the clouds rolling away under her feet leisurely. She really had the idea that Gan Biwu mentioned. She has been staying in Bixia Sect for too long. If it goes on like this for a long time, it will inevitably cause the sect to become inert. If a sect has always been smooth, it is not a good thing, and it is only a matter of no longer relying on the power of a certain individual. true development. The nine major factions have been around for thousands of years and have a long history. Which one is devastated by the loss of a leader?

   She has high expectations for Bixia Sect, and also hopes that these people can truly experience thorns and wind and rain, so she said that she would leave without nostalgia. She is destined to be alone on the road of pursuing the avenue.

  According to her estimation, it would take at least three or five years for Moyan to retreat, so she was not in a hurry, and planned to travel slowly all the way, and travel to the Cangwu Continent by the way. She came to Cangwu for more than 20 years, first in the southeast, then in Yunze, and the rest of the places have never been there.

  The entire Cangwu Central Plains Continent is divided into nine states, sixteen countries, and twenty-five forces. Divided by the nine factions. Except for Tianyun Continent, where the Yuxu Palace in the center is located, the rest are divided up by eight other sects. It's not that the Yuxu Palace is not very powerful. In fact, the Tianyun Continent where they are located occupies nearly one-tenth of the entire Cangwu Continent. Cangwu is a place of victory. Therefore, the rest of the region is divided up by the other eight sects.

  The eight sects are also fair, and they are evenly distributed, and each gets three points. The power of Cangjian Villa is in the south, with Yunze as the dividing line between the Central Plains and the Southeastern Wilderness. To the north of Yunze is Nanpu Prefecture, to the north of Nanpu is Nantang Country, and within Nantang Country is Huqiu Ridge. The Sword Washing Pond is also the gate of the Tibetan Sword Villa.

  Gu Yan this time is going north along Yunze all the way. After traveling in Nanpu for several months, he will set off for Nantang. Dongyang is at the southernmost end of the entire Yunze, and her journey is to take a curve and finally reach Huqiu Ridge.

   Yunze's counties all have Bixia Sect's sub-rudders, but Gu Yan didn't stop there. After all, except for the sects similar to Bixia Sect, most of the other sects avoided her. Like the Yuan and Qin families, although they have begun to interact with the Bixia Sect over the years, the word Gu Yan has never been mentioned in their daily communication. Especially the Yuan family, Gu Yan killed Yuan Xian in the ancient battlefield. It can be said that the two have already forged a deep hatred. The cover of this contradiction is still unknown.

After the Qin family retreated in Qin Zhong, Qin Jing led the family's internal affairs, and all external affairs began to be handled by Qin Feng. He once came to Bixiazong once, when Gu Yan was in retreat, and the two They also tacitly understood that they did not mention Gu Yan's name.

On the contrary, it is quite strange for the good deeds of the Changqing Palace. Since the competition, although the Changqing Palace has been spared the danger of being split, its power has also been greatly weakened. Encroached upon by the forces, Shanfa Zhenren was in a fit of anger, he simply closed the Changqing Palace, scattered the disciples, and only brought a few close disciples to other places, leaving Yunze, and he did not know where to go. This made Gu Yan very strange. Back then, when she killed Duanmuqing and Dugu Yuerong at Duanyun Cliff, it was like breaking his right-hand man. Afterwards, she kept on guard that this person would come to take revenge, but she kept silent. Gu Yan simply put it down and ignored it. After all, she has practiced all the way, and if all the enemies are attached to her heart, then she will not do anything in this life. This kind of thing is nothing more than soldiers coming to block and water coming to earth.

   She was in the territory of Yunze and did not stop, but when she reached the sky above Yunyang City, she hovered for a moment, and saw that the Yuan and Qin families were as quiet as before, but the imperial city was quite lively, and the cultivators were surging and flowing. In recent years, although the momentum of the Yuan and Qin families has become increasingly fierce, the entire Yunyang City has become more lively than before. It is said that the old emperor is now hidden in the inner room, and everything is cooked by the first prince. He is majestic and talented, more powerful than the old emperor of the year. Gu Yan thought about it in her mind, but found that she couldn't remember the appearance of the prince.

   The location where the Changqing Palace was located in the past has now been occupied by a new sect supported by the royal family. Gu Yan only hovered for a moment. Seeing that the monks who were already guarding were coming up to inquire about his whereabouts, she didn't want to say more, she moved Zi Yungui, a purple light like electricity, and she went north.

She seldom came to the north of Yunyang City. She stopped and stopped along the way. She also specially visited a few Lingshan scenic spots. In the minds of those young disciples, they are equivalent to idols. Sometimes I have to stop for a while to point out the practice of those young disciples.

Later, she simply stopped going to the sub-rudder of Bixiazong, and only entered those famous mountains and rivers. Lan Xiang had traveled to Cangwu in the past, and was particularly familiar with the three countries under the jurisdiction of Zangjian Mountain Villa. She wrote a book for her. Recording it as a map, Gu Yan followed the map, and visited the famous mountain Lingsheng, which was also quite wild. Stop and go like this, and after a month, he left the territory of Yunze and entered Nanpu Prefecture.

  Nanpu is one of the nine states of Cangwu, with a vast area, especially above Yunze. Above the river, when the sun rises, the mist is steaming, and there are cultivators coming and going, like walking on clouds and mist, misty and rainy, walking on the river, there is no fun. At that time, someone once said in a poem that "painted buildings fly towards the clouds in Nanpu, and the bead curtain rolls over the mountains in the west", but it is nothing more than that.

The power structure of Nanhai and Yunze are not the same. There is no royal family here, but several local factions are divided and ruled. Every few decades, they make a rotation, which is different from the Luodi that Gu Yan visited in those days. as if. And Nanpu once produced a person who was quite famous. It is Lin Zimei, the peak owner of Hanli Peak.

  As the only two female cultivators of Nascent Soul in Cangwu, she established Hanjiafeng independently, which is unique outside of the nine major sects, and is highly respected by the cultivators in Cangwu. Lin Zitong once cited her as an idol in his heart.

Lin Zimei was born in a small school in Nanpu. When she was young, her family was poor. She had suffered all kinds of hardships. She was tortured by her stepmother. She has spiritual roots, just because she is young and weak, and she is not valued in the sect, but she is persevering, has great wisdom, and slowly cultivated, but she succeeded in building a foundation and became the backbone of the sect. It was only later that the sect she belonged to, because of the competition with other sects, was overwhelmed by a real person in the late stage of the formation of pills at that time, and finally collapsed. She went overseas and gained many opportunities. When she returned to the Central Plains, she had already cultivated into Yuan Ying became one of the dozen or so people in Cangwu. She and Qingniao from Yunshang Valley were the only two female cultivators of Nascent Soul in Cangwu.

  Lin Zimei regarded Nanpu as a sad place and did not want to stay for a long time. She established Hanjia Peak overseas and was called the Peak Master, but recruiting disciples was very strict. At its peak, there were only a dozen people.

  She formed her own faction overseas and did not participate in the affairs of the Central Plains, and the nine major factions did not embarrass her. She was an exception to the monks in Cangwu. However, in Nanpu, all the monks regarded her as an idol. The sect where she once stayed in the past was circled by several major forces in Nanpu and established as "Zi Mei Peak". For hundreds of years, they will come back here for a few days and then return.

These are the legends Lan Xiang once told her. She also told Gu Yan that the customs of Nanpu is quite different from that of Yunze. Although it is divided and managed by major forces, each has its own sphere of influence and achieves a delicate balance. , not as chaotic as Yun Ze. The six major forces occupy an area respectively, and the Nanyue City in the middle is the main city of the entire Nanpu Prefecture. Every few decades, there will be a group of forces that will take over. The Nanpu and Yunze of the city show two different atmospheres.

   Tibetan Sword Villa implemented completely different management strategies in these two places, which also made Gu Yan ponder.

  The Bixia Sect also has a rudder in Nanpu. After Gu Yan crossed the river, he flew northwest without stopping, and stopped after several thousand miles.

   In front of her, there is a green plain. The tributaries of the big river branch out here, like a jade belt, across the plain. This river is called "Jade Belt River". The Jade Belt River is like a half-moon, encircling a large city, backed by mountains, and stretching for thousands of miles. This large city is the largest city from Yunze to Nanpu, Banyue City. Bixiazong's sub-rudder is located here.

Yunze is the passage connecting the Central Plains and the southeast, so monks come and go in an endless stream, but there are not so many monks from Nanpu to Yunze, so Banyue City is not as prosperous as Dongyang, but it is the gathering place of the Lian clan. Land, as one of the six major forces, has a considerable position in Nanpu.

The   Lian family started out by taming beasts in those days. They were very famous for raising spirit beasts. Later, they gradually accumulated power and became one of the six major forces in Nanpu. In the place of prosperity, Banyue City was built. The mountain behind this city is called Mangcang Mountain. There are many monsters and beasts in it, stretching for thousands of miles. One of the famous secret places in Wuzhong.

  Banyue City and Mangcang Mountain are connected by six passages. These six passages are all under the control of the Lian Clan. All monks who want to enter the mountain must donate spirit stones to them, thus establishing their power to divide Nanpu. There are three branches of Bixia Sect in Nanpu, and one of them is in the Moon City.

Gu Yan fell to the ground in front of the city gate. Unlike the other cities he had seen before, outside the city gate here, the main guards were eight huge monsters, and four monks controlled these eight monsters. Guard the gate.

When the monks saw Gu Yan landed, they hurried forward to greet him, and said respectfully, "Fairy has come to this land, I don't know what to do?" With Gu Yan's status as a monk in the late stage of Dan formation, unless it is the controlling force of the Sixteen Kingdoms of Kyushu , otherwise, no matter what sect family, you should be respectful when you see her. Who knows if such a person will form a Nascent Soul, there is always nothing wrong with making friends.

Gu Yan did not hide her cultivation. When she reached such a state, she no longer had to hide her head and reveal her tail. She just said lightly: "I came from Yunze, so I don't need to disturb you to visit friends." After speaking, she entered. At the city gate, the cultivator who guarded the gate hesitated for a moment, and then quickly returned to the city from the other direction.

  Gu Yan knew that he was going to report to the city lord. A cultivator in the late stage of the formation of alchemy came to the big city. The city lord's mansion should always be careful, not to mention that this is the foundation of the Lian clan, and it is not surprising that foreign cultivators pay more attention. She entered the city and found that Moon City was slightly different from the city she had seen before.

  The architectural style here is extraordinarily simple. They are all built of thick blue bricks and large stones. There are no exquisite carved beams and painted buildings. The streets are wide and tidy. On the other hand, at street corners, there are often many traces of spirit beasts. The spirit beasts seen here probably don't add up to that many in Yunze. Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh, and as expected, the predecessors once said that "a hundred miles is different from the sky", Yunze and Nanpu are only separated by a big river, but here, it seems like a different world, and the scenery is completely different.

There are also some monks who are selling petite and cute spirit beasts on the street, and many young monks stop because of this. Gu Yan then understands why this place is not as prosperous as Yunyang, but there are more female monks. There are many, the original reason is this.

Everything here is leisurely and quiet. Few people fly in the air, and most of them are walking on the road. Gu Yan also follows the local customs. She turned three streets and saw a huge building, the Bixia Sect. Yu Banyue City's split rudder.

There was a disciple guarding the gate. It was quiet inside and no one was making a sound. Gu Yanwei was a little surprised. She heard Gan Biwu say that this is the front station of the Bixia Sect entering Nanpu. There are many people, and there are two The old disciple of Bixia Sect is sitting here, why is it so calm today?

   She stepped forward and said cheerfully, "Is this place the branch of the Bixia Sect?"

The gatekeeper was a female disciple, she was startled when she saw Gu Yan coming over, she didn't know why this fairy came here, and when she saw Gu Yan showing her talisman, she was so shocked that she stuttered, "So it turns out that It's Gu... I'll go back and report to Senior Sister Du!"

   She opened the door and rushed inside quickly. Gu Yan frowned, walked in, raised her hand, and closed the door. She couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart. With Gan Biwu's prudent way of doing things, her disciples stationed here must also be prudent people. How could she act like this? frizz?

When she entered the front yard, she was shocked. The place was full of wolves, as if it had just experienced a war and had not been cleaned up. There was even faint blood on the ground. 's sub-rudder something happened. There was a murderous look in her eyes. Although she left Bixia Sect, she wanted to let them go and let them develop on their own, but in her heart, she definitely couldn't just sit idly by.

At this time, in the front hall, more than a dozen people rushed out. There were men and women. Gu Yan glanced at them, but a few were familiar. She still remembered the one in front, who entered before Wei Zhaoyi. Yes, it was a direct disciple of Gan Biwu, who seemed to be surnamed Du. He waved his hand and said, "Is this place up to you, what happened?"

The woman in the light yellow shirt looked rather calm. She stepped forward and bowed to Gu Yan and said, "Disciple Du Wan, I welcome Elder Gu here." After speaking, she instructed her seniors and sisters. They cleaned up the yard, invited Gu Yan to enter the front hall to take a seat, and served tea.

   Gu Yan saw that she was allocating her affairs in an orderly manner, and gave a secret praise in her heart. She only drank a sip of tea without speaking, and waited for her to speak.

  Du Wan didn't beat around the bush, she smiled wryly and said, "The elder came here by accident, indeed, a mess has just happened." Although her temperament was steady, she was articulate and explained the matter.

It turned out that Du Wan and another female cultivator named Xie Junshi were sent here to establish the first branch of the Bixia Sect in Nanpu. It has been several years since Gan Biwu and the city owner of the Lian family lived here , quite a bit of friendship, they have established a separate rudder here, and it has always been smooth sailing, but a few months ago, the city lord lost power in the battle within the Lian family, lost the position of the city lord, and was relegated to the barren mountains, so Bi The days of Xia Zong suddenly turned a little bad.

  Gu Yan said: "We only have a personal friendship with him, and it is also for his face as the city lord, and we have not intervened in the family dispute. Could it be that the new city lord will be inconvenient to us?"

Du Wan smiled bitterly and said, "What the elder said is very true. It's just that Senior Sister Xie got a foreign object a few days ago." After the change of the new city owner, the relationship with the Bixia Sect was always light, but he didn't come to deliberately embarrass him. They, and Du Wan and Xie Yunshi, also restrained their servants, trying not to cause trouble these days. It should have passed like this, but a few months ago, Xie Yunshi was very quiet and thoughtful. She had been trapped in the late stage of foundation building for a long time. , I couldn't reach the state of perfection for a long time, and I was anxious. I wanted to go out to find an opportunity, so I handed over the spirit stone at the City Lord's Mansion and wanted to take a tour in the Mangcang Mountains.

That Mangcang Mountain is a gathering place for monsters. It is very dangerous to say that it is very dangerous, but it is also where many monks are looking for opportunities. Xie Yunshi entered the Mangcang Mountain, and he did not return for two months until Du Wan waited. , She came back in a hurry on one month's night, her face pale, startled Du Wan, thought she was injured, and hurriedly asked for details, but Xie Yunshi refused to tell, or she herself was a little ignorant, I don't know what happened, but she brought back a bead, which is quite strange.

  Gu Yan asked: "Is that bead still there, can you show it to me?"

  Du Wan said with a wry smile, "If it weren't for this pearl, there wouldn't be any later incidents."
