Chapter 351 Five Years Later
Seeing Lord Yixuan, Su Ziyi subconsciously thought of Gu Lincong's uncle.
Outside the venue that day, if he saw it correctly, the friendship between the two was probably quite deep. Thinking of this, Su Ziyi couldn't help but raise his eyelids and look around, but he didn't find Yanzhu's figure.
I don’t know what the relationship between the two is.
Su Ziyi only thought about the personal relationship between these two people for a moment and then put it aside. Most of the people who came to watch the ceremony had their eyes twinkling. Although there was no exchange of words, their eyes revealed their confusion about the members of the royal family joining the Xuan Cang Sect to practice. Su Ziyi was no exception, but he had no sense of belonging to Xuan Cang Sect, so he looked at it as if he were watching a show and looked away after a few glances.
The initiation ceremony continued in full swing.
Because those who won the rankings in the martial arts competition were basically disciples of various sects, there were not many people joining Xuan Cang Sect this time, and only three people, Bian Qing, were selected as the official disciples of the inner sect. The initiation ceremony will not officially end until all the Qi Refining Stage disciples are assigned to their respective peaks.
Bian Qing and Su Yulang went to Qingcang Peak, and as soon as the ceremony was over, disciples who had started early led them to Qingcang Peak, so Su Ziyi had to stand on a high place and watch them leave.
And at the moment when the two figures were about to disappear, Bian Qing suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Su Ziyi, perhaps sensing something. Su Yulang, who was walking beside him, took a few steps forward before he realized that his mother had fallen behind. He curiously looked in the direction where Bian Qing was staring, but saw nothing.
"Emma?" Su Yulang asked doubtfully.
"It's nothing." The distance was too far, and Bian Qing couldn't actually see anything, but he could feel that there was someone there who had been looking at them, just like they had been looking at him. When he thought of this, Bian Qing His eyes couldn't help but become softer. He took a few steps forward, reached out and pushed Su Yulang's shoulder and said, "Let's go." There
is still a long way to go, and they still have a lot of time to do what they want to do together.
The most important thing now is to try to catch up with that person.
He didn't want to be old while that person was still in his prime. Nor do they want the two of them to be separated by life and death because of the gap in their cultivation.
The road to Huangquan is too far, and it would be so lonely walking alone.
The days of living are too long, and how pitiful are the people whose memories are blurred and forgotten.
Life after joining the sect was smoother than Su Ziyi and the others imagined. Although Elder Yao has the absolute right to speak on Duyun Peak, because there are not many people and Elder Yao has been in seclusion for many years, no one embarrasses him. On the contrary, it is the fifth elder who was dismissed from Danbi this time because of The reason why Su Ziyi won the second place was that he had a favorable impression of Su Ziyi, so he took Su Ziyi to discuss the issue of alchemy together when nothing happened.
In this regard, Su Ziyi did not refuse anyone who came.
On the other side, Bian Qing and Su Yulang are also making very smooth progress. They had never been exposed to systematic knowledge of weapon refining before. Now in Qingcang Peak, there is something worth learning in every place. Therefore, their knowledge of weapon refining has improved rapidly, and because the two of them are diligent and willing to endure hardships, even if they practice Although he is not the best among the disciples, he is highly praised by the people above him.
In this way, the days flew by quickly as the three of them were busy.
In a blink of an eye, it's five years.
In the past five years, by sharing his collection of books on Duyun Peak with several other colleagues, Su Ziyi's alchemy book has been promoted from the sixth-level preliminary level to the eighth-level alchemy master. Although the refining efficiency of the eighth-level high-level elixir is Not high, but this is rare in the entire Duyun Peak. What's more, he only took a few years to become an eighth-level alchemist. This is even more unique and makes the entire Xuan Cang Sect Everyone looked at him differently, and many people were talking privately, saying that Su Ziyi was expected to become the second Xuan-level alchemist on Duyun Peak after Elder Yao.
Yes, that's right.
In the entire Duyun Peak, only Elder Yao is a Xuan-level alchemist. The others are all yellow-level alchemists. The best ones are only ninth-level alchemists. Even those who can refine fifth-level alchemy can be used in Duyun Peak. Got an elder position. This is enough to prove how weak the entire Xuan Cang Sect is in alchemy. You must know that even the Qibao Pavilion branch in Xuan Cang City has a requirement of level 5 to become an alchemist, and those at the elder level need to start as level 7 alchemists. .
In comparison, Xuan Cang Sect is really miserable.
However, all the face Xuan Cang Sect lost in refining alchemy was gained back by refining weapons. As the number one weapon refining sect in the entire Dai Kingdom, basically all the sophisticated weapon refining sects come from the Xuan Cang Sect. This alone is enough for Xuan Cang Sect disciples to look down on other forces.
Because Bian Qing and his two brothers had mountains at their backs, their learning speed of weapon refining increased rapidly.
When Su Ziyi walked out of the alchemy room, his whole body was filled with the smell of elixirs and dust. This smell could not be removed even by dust removal techniques. He could only clean it or wait for it to be blown away by the wind. So when he returned to Bian Qing's hut at the foot of Qingcang Peak, he planned to take a bath first.
But before he could take action, Bian Qing and Su Yulang came back.
In the past five years, Bian Qing and Su Yulang have undergone considerable changes, both in their mentality and in their cultivation. Because the two of them performed well at Qingcang Peak, they received a lot of resources. In addition, Su Ziyi was willing to invest in alchemy.
So now, Bian Qing has reached the eleventh level of Qi refining, and the aura around him is perfect. He only needs one. He can break through to the twelfth level if he has the chance. At his age and level of cultivation, it is rare in Xuan Cang Sect. As for Su Yulang, who has grown from a child to a boy as tall as Su Ziyi's shoulders, he has entered the ninth level of Qi Refining early.
Su Ziyi spent a month in alchemy retreat this time, so Bian Qing and Su Yulang were a little surprised when they first saw him.
Since being promoted to the seventh-level alchemy master, Su Ziyi has learned to refine the Bigu Pill. One Bigu Pill can make the practitioner feel full, and there is no need to eat any food for half a month. Although this kind of thing is very convenient, whenever the three people of the Su family get together, they still cook a hot meal and gather around the dinner table to share their recent experiences.
And today is no exception.
"What? Going to Adali City?" Su Ziyi felt refreshed after washing away his travel dust, but this sense of refreshment turned into a sense of restlessness when he heard what Bian Qing said to him: "Why do you suddenly want to Are you going there? It's not peaceful over there." Adali City is located at the southern end of Dai Kingdom, very far away from Xuan Cang Sect. Even using a flying magic weapon would take ten days.
But this is not what gives Su Ziyi a headache. What makes Su Ziyi feel embarrassed is that Adali City is very close to Miao Dian, and the practitioners there mostly use Miao Dian's method, which is very weird. They had been staying in Xuan Cang Sect for the past few years, and their knowledge of Miao Dian was limited to the content in the book. However, just by reading the content in the book, they knew it was dangerous, so Su Ziyi inevitably didn't want them to go.
"The main thing is that Elder Qiao Yun will also go this time." Bian Qing naturally understands Su Ziyi's worries, but this opportunity is so rare that he is really reluctant to give it up.
Qiao Yun?
Su Ziyi fell silent as soon as he heard the name.
This Foundation Establishment elder named Qiao Yun was the elder who initially took a fancy to Bian Qing and Su Yulang. He was a weapon-refining madman. Like Duyunfeng's Yao Elder, he devoted all his life to the things in his hands. The elder who had accepted Bian Qing as his disciple actually had more than twenty disciples who were similar to Bian Qing. Moreover, after Qiao Yun took people in, she would just remember them by name, unless they behaved in a certain way. Those who are particularly good will receive special guidance from her, and others will be just like ordinary inner disciples.
Fortunately, both Bian Qing and Bian Qing are talented in the art of refining weapons. They have now been able to refine middle-grade treasures. Elder Qiao Yun, who has always been blind to what is happening outside the window, also took a second look. Eye, this time I went out to find a kind of ore and took them with me.
Su Ziyi weighed it for a long time, then looked at the two faces of Bian Qing and Su Yulang with silent expressions of prayer, and his original refusal couldn't help but loosen. But in the end, they agreed.
"I just agreed to help Zhu Lian and the others refine several furnaces of elixirs, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you this time." Su Ziyi frowned. At this moment, he just felt that it was not the right time for him to agree to Zhu Lian's request: " It’s just that I will take care of it as soon as possible. When I finish my work here, I will set off to find you.” In the past five years, because of the high rate of elixirs he refined and the full effectiveness of the elixirs, he gained a lot. Thanks to his good popularity, those foundation-building practitioners who were resentful of him because of the tomb incident will now come to him and say good things to him, so it won't be difficult for him to go out.
"There's no rush." Although he knew that Su Ziyi would definitely say this, he was still very happy to hear that the other party was so worried about them: "This time it's not just us from Qingcang Peak who will go, but people from other peaks will also go. When he met Cui Yu two days ago, he said that both he and his master would go this time." "
Xia Zheng..." Hearing this, even though the relationship between Su Ziyi and Xia Zheng was still the same so far, he felt relieved. Quite a bit, because Xia Zheng's strength was enough to make him feel completely safe, so his eyebrows that were originally frowned immediately relaxed.
And Cui Yu is also going this time, so he can ask the other party to take care of Bian Qing and the others. After all, the other party was promoted to the early stage of foundation building at the beginning of last year, and his strength has improved to a higher level. It is worthy of him to put more trust in him. .
But - "Well, after I finish my work here, if you haven't come back yet, I will go look for you. I haven't visited the south yet." He picked up the chopsticks again to pick up the food and said .
"Are you sure?" When he said this, Bian Qing was a little hesitant: "You should be about to break through to the middle stage of foundation building recently."
Chapter 352 Two people are missing
In the past five years, Su Ziyi's body has changed more than just his alchemy skills.
Back then, in the tomb, he received a great gift, and a large amount of spiritual power was sealed into his Dantian spiritual sea by the sword of Yuanxu. Over the past few years, he has been trying to refine it, but he has never been able to get in. He can only absorb some of the escaped spiritual power, but even so, it is enough for him.
Relying on the cultivation resources obtained by his own alchemy, as well as the escaped spiritual power, and with the help of Qing Linggui Yidu, Su Ziyi's cultivation level increased rapidly. After five years, it has reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building, and may break through to the middle stage of foundation building at any time!
Therefore, at this juncture, the most important thing Su Ziyi should do is to retreat and look for opportunities for breakthrough, rather than wandering around.
But it was obvious that Su Ziyi did not take this matter too seriously. He waved his hand and said: "This is not accurate. I have not made a breakthrough in my state of mind at this moment. I am afraid that I will not be promoted in the middle stage of foundation building. . And, maybe I haven’t gone out for a long time, so it’s time to go outside and take a look.”
“Indeed.” Bian Qing sighed.
"Plus... you also know." Su Ziyi smiled bitterly and pinched the root of his nose and said, "Besides refining elixirs and practicing, I can't do anything now, so I might as well go out and look for opportunities." Speaking of this matter, the three members of the family
all Silence fell.
When Su Ziyi got the opportunity in the tomb, he went home directly and didn't notice any other problems at all. When he officially settled in Xuan Cang Sect and went to Qingcang Peak to purchase a magical weapon to sacrifice and refine into a magical weapon, something strange happened.
He had just poured his spiritual power into the magic weapon when he heard a "click" sound from the newly purchased magic weapon and split into two sections, which made his eyes widen in shock. When he went to Qingcang Peak with the broken sword, the weapon refiner from Qingcang Peak told him clearly that the explosion of the magic weapon was not due to the quality of the magic weapon, but because of the difference in the spiritual power in Su Ziyi's body. It is extremely repulsive to foreign magic weapons that are not its own. Not only does it refuse to fuse, it also destroys the opponent directly in a very domineering manner.
This situation is extremely rare, and Qingcang Peak has only seen dozens of cases in thousands of years. In all of these examples, these people have powerful magic weapons or powers, because the controllers themselves cannot control these powers well, causing these powers to be like disobedient children, madly attacking everyone who wants to Someone who wants to invade its territory.
When Su Ziyi heard this, he knew that the problem really lay with him.
He touched the location of Dantian, where the Sword of Yuanxu was located. This broken sword from ancient times is arrogant and domineering. It occupies the place with the most abundant spiritual power, so it is not surprising at all to break other magic weapons like this.
This made Su Ziyi feel happy and sad.
Fortunately, the Sword of Yuanxu is so powerful. Once he finds a way to repair the Sword of Yuanxu, his combat effectiveness will be greatly improved again. The sad thing is that except for a flying sword that he had refined before, he has no other magic weapon that has been refined. The move of Yuanxu Sword has made it impossible for him or his enemies to take advantage of it.
More importantly, he has no idea about repairing the Sword of Yuanxu, so he doesn't know when he will have his own magic weapon.
In the past five years, Su Ziyi has gone to Duyun Peak and the main peak's library to borrow a large number of books, and has become somewhat familiar with them. Therefore, when he went out this time, he also hoped to find some opportunity to repair the Yuanxu Sword.
Bian Qing naturally knew about Su Ziyi's problem and was also very worried about Su Ziyi. So when he heard what Su Ziyi said, he couldn't say no, so he had to tell the other party not to be too impatient. As an experienced alchemist, Su Ziyi naturally understood the importance of a peaceful mind, so he nodded in agreement without taking a breath.
After the family had a few meals together, Bian Qing took Su Yulang and left with the Xuan Cang Sect's team. Before leaving, Su Ziyi went to see them off, but he didn't know what happened that day. When he watched the two of them leave, his eyelids twitched a little.
"You must have a safe journey." Su Ziyi murmured softly, holding on to the tree trunk next to him with one hand.
After five years of getting along, Su Ziyi and Zhu Lian's relationship has improved a lot. And because of the trace of sincerity in his body, the two often competed. Although Su Ziyi always lost, Su Ziyi's skills steadily improved. Now he can fight even if he meets a practitioner in the middle stage of foundation building. Naturally, Su Ziyi would not refuse the alchemy request from his teacher and friend.
"I see Xia Zheng has left, why are you still in the sect?" I didn't know it before, but after a long time, Su Ziyi realized that although the two brothers had completely different personalities, they had a very good relationship. The mission always moves forward together, and no one is left behind. Therefore, when Zhu Lian came to give him spiritual materials, Su Ziyi couldn't help but joke.
"It's not a big deal this time, so I didn't follow him." Zhu Lian didn't feel embarrassed at all about Su Ziyi's joke, but instead agreed with a smile. However, there was a hint of darkness hidden in his smiling eyes: "And now I have more important things to deal with, don't I?"
Hearing this, Su Ziyi couldn't help but fell silent.
The more important thing Zhu Lian said was naturally to break through to the golden elixir. As the most powerful member of the younger generation of Xuan Cang Sect, Zhu Lian had already reached the level of foundation building perfection early on. Yes, among all the disciples of Xuan Cang Sect, he is the one who has the most hope of breaking through to the Golden Core Stage. As a result, not only did Zhu Lian himself become more diligent, but the entire sect also set their sights on him, waiting for Zhu Lian to take over as the leader of the Xuan Cang Sect and officially shoulder the responsibility of this generation of disciples of the Xuan Cang Sect. .
But -
"It's too difficult, it's too difficult to break through the golden elixir." Zhu Lian sighed, and there was a rare gloomy look on his face, which was always smiling.
Su Ziyi understood his pressure, but also knew that anything he said at this time would be in vain, so he patted Zhu Lian's shoulder encouragingly and remained silent, turning to look at the spiritual life Zhu Lian had brought to him. Talented. In the past few years, thanks to Zhu Lian's blessing, he was able to get so many refining opportunities, which made the alchemy skill grow very much.
"They are all eighth-grade elixirs." Su Ziyi raised his eyebrows subtly. It is not easy to refine the eighth-grade elixir, and it is normal for it to take three, four, five days to refine. So as soon as Su Ziyi read Zhu Lian's information, he knew that he would probably stay in Xuan Cang Sect for a while.
"Sorry." Zhu Lian naturally knew Su Ziyi's plan. So he looked apologetic. Su Ziyi didn't care, but when he looked at the other party, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "In your case, the effect of the eighth-grade elixir is probably not great." So he wanted to see if he should ask Elder Yao to take action and refine it. Making Xuan-level elixirs?
Before he said these words, Zhu Lian knew what he meant. He shook his head: "Let's talk about it. After all, eighth-grade elixirs are not easy to get now." The number of spiritual grasses and monster beasts has been decreasing, and there are many Everything I need is getting harder and harder to find.
"That's right." Hearing this, Su Ziyi had nothing else to say.
After these words, both of them fell silent, because the path of cultivation before them was becoming more and more demanding. Even if they were relatively smooth compared to others, they would still be confused sometimes and not know what the future would be like. Where to lead.
But no matter what, they have no other choice but to continue to move forward.
Following the same rules as before, Su Ziyi refined the elixirs with the highest success rate first, and then dealt with the more difficult ones. This time, except for two of the eight-level elixirs, the others were low-level, so for Su Ziyi, the refining process this time was not very difficult.
Among these elixirs, there is one that Su Ziyi often uses - Yiyun Dan.
This meaning pill is an eighth-grade mid-level elixir, made from the meaning grass that has grown around the tomb for more than thirty years. Because these meaning grasses have been nourished by the true meaning in the tomb all year round, they themselves also take away a trace of the true meaning. After being refined into elixirs and taken, although they cannot directly increase the true meaning, they can help practitioners improve their understanding of the art of war. Therefore, this Implication Pill is very popular in Xuan Cang Sect, and the price remains high all year round.
Su Ziyi also relied on his unique skill in refining the Implication Pill to gain a foothold in Duyun Peak and was recognized by other Xuan Cang Sect practitioners.
Therefore, the refining of meaning pills is easier for Su Ziyi than low-level pills. By the time he wasted some time to refine another eighth-grade intermediate elixir and left the alchemy room, only a month and ten days had passed.
However, what he didn't expect was that before he went to notify Zhu Lian to take away the pills he would use this year, the man had already appeared in front of the alchemy room. Look at his appearance, he is very frowning and confused, and he is walking around anxiously.
"What's wrong?" Su Ziyi had never seen Zhu Lian so rude before, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked curiously. When Zhu Lian saw him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and all the tight muscles in his body relaxed a little. He opened his mouth to say something, but found that he didn't know how to express it, so he stared at Su Ziyi with a puzzled expression.
"I..."
"Huh? Speak slowly." Su Ziyi was a little confused.
"Alas." It was really hard to say this, but Zhu Lian pinched his nose, opened his eyes, and said to Su Ziyi in a tone that was like burning a boat, "The people who went to Adali City have returned from the message." He said this As he spoke, his eyes flickered, making Su Ziyi feel a little dizzy and seemed a little unsteady on his feet.
"Then my husband has returned from delivering news to the children?" As soon as he opened his mouth, Su Ziyi suddenly realized how small his voice was, like a candle that could be blown out by the wind at any time.
But Zhu Lian's next words made the candle in his heart suddenly go out.
"There was a riot in Adali City. Taoist friends Bian Qing and Yulang were separated from the others. They don't know where they are."
