Crossing into Immortal Cultivation

  Tang Wenshan also smiled and nodded three times, saying "Good, good, good!" He said with a smile, "You have such great skills, it's not easy. You can go to that side too."

  These ten geniuses all rejoiced and bowed their fists, then stood beside those six people from just now.

  Ten people left, and ten more came. This time, five of them emitted a deep red glow, while the other five were all medium red, with colors that were quite similar.

  Only after dozens of people had passed by did the color of the Lingtong Treasure gradually change to pale red. These people were barely able to pass through the nine layers of Qi Refining, but in reality, their foundation was unstable, or far inferior to others.

  However, it seemed that they had made preparations earlier. These monks who were brushed down did not have any resentment in their hearts. Although they said that they also had some fear, they knew that they were indeed inferior, so they suppressed it and decided to make good use of the spiritual pulse for a few days, which was considered not to be a waste of time.

  Eight people came to the Dispersed Cultivation Alliance, except for Xu Ziqing, Su Xun and Zhuo Hanyan. The remaining five people actually had Rang Xingjian who was close to refining his Qi to the tenth level, while the other four used the Lingyun Tongbao to turn into mid-purple... As a result, they all stayed behind, not a single one failed.

  Su Xun, as the young master of the alliance, was with You Rongyan, and Xu Ziqing exchanged a glance, their eyebrows flying and their faces flushed.

  When everyone had finished their verbal sparring, Tang Wenshan was about to speak again when someone suddenly said: "Although Xu Ziqing is a spiritual root chosen one, he also has a nine-layered Qi refining cultivation. Why doesn't he try the Ling Tong treasure as well?"

  Xu Ziqing did not expect someone to mention his name and was slightly taken aback.

  Su Xun Shun looked at him and frowned, saying: "So you're from the Wu Liang Sect, no wonder you're so detestable!"

  This Wu Liang Sect's Xu Zi Qing had also heard some, before the formation of the San Xiu Alliance, this sect had already taken root in Lu Zhou, as a top-notch sect. Later, the founder of the San Xiu Alliance established the alliance to compete for resources and had some conflicts with this sect. Over the years, the San Xiu Alliance has firmly taken root in Lu Zhou, and the Wu Liang Sect has become increasingly dissatisfied with the San Xiu Alliance, even though there is no deep-seated grudge, but often have small clashes under the surface.

  Xu Ziqing turned his head to look, and indeed saw a young man wearing magnificent clothes with an arrogant expression. He remembered that this person had previously emitted a light red glow, which was definitely not something that could be left behind. At this time, speaking provocatively, he naturally didn't fear that people in the great world would be displeased.

  Su Xuan said beside him, "This guy is the great-grandson of the sect master of Wu Liang Sect. He relied on taking medicine to reach the 9th layer of Qi Refining and is quite arrogant. Now he has come here just to gain some experience. The real genius of Wu Liang Sect is called Zhang Chi, who is already a high-ranking expert at the 10th layer of Qi Refining."

  Wú Liàng Zōng is probably just a young man, no more than twenty years old. I hadn't heard of him before, so he must be a new loose cultivator who has just joined the Loose Cultivators' Alliance. In that case, he definitely doesn't have many resources, and being able to cultivate up to the ninth layer of Qi Refining is probably due to his spiritual roots. It's possible that the Loose Cultivators' Alliance even helped him artificially raise his cultivation level, so his foundation won't be stable at all. Now that two single-spirit-root cultivators have appeared in the Loose Cultivators' Alliance, Wú Liàng Zōng is the most embarrassing one. Sù Xīn has an eighth-layer Qi Refining cultivation level, and they can't even speak up for themselves, but this Xú Zi Qīng can be used to make them lose face.

  That arrogant young man was poorly cultivated and had many evil thoughts. Seeing this opportunity, he very presumptuously began to bully Xu Ziqing, not fearing him in the slightest.

  Tang Wenshan saw it, his eyebrows slightly moved, and he didn't speak, but it was because he also wanted to know how Xu Ziqing's foundation was. Single spirit roots are indeed rare, but the single spirit root in a small world... doesn't know if such a good talent is being "wasted".

  What the people of Wu Liang Zong can think of, the people of San Xiu Alliance will naturally think of. Except for Su Xin, who has no worries and only anger after fighting side by side with Xu Zi Qing, the other six people all know that they are in this together, sharing honor and loss, so they all cast worried glances over here.

  Xu Ziqing smiled and nodded, not looking at the arrogant young man, but instead said with a smile: "I also have this intention, Tang Qianbei, isn't it possible to make an exception?"

  Tang Wenshan smiled and said, "Never mind, the literary contest is over, you can all go and have fun." As soon as he spoke, it was no longer just Xu Ziqing who could go to try the聚灵通宝 (聚 means gathering, 灵 means spirit, 通 means through), but anyone with a spiritual root could go.

  Su Xuan suddenly smiled wantonly: "Since that's the case, Brother Zi Qing, I'm younger than you, why don't you let me have my fun first?"

  Xu Ziqing smiled and said: "Then Ah Xian younger brother should ask first."

  Su Xun suddenly swung his sleeve and strode over. His movements were simple, opening his mouth to spit out a blue flame that shot straight at the Jiling Tongbao! The mirror surface of the Jiling Tongbao flashed with blue light, swallowing up the long column of fire, and then instantly revealed a dazzling brilliance!

  It's golden light!

  The refined energy of the eight layers is cultivated on the聚灵通宝, and its manifestation is yellow in color. When it reaches an extreme concentration, it becomes golden in color. The color that appears below is between gold and yellow, indicating that he has already broken through more than half of the acupoints. With a bit more cultivation, he will be able to break through to the ninth layer of refined energy!

  Moreover, his foundation was solid and didn't seem like someone who had just cleansed their spiritual root.

  Xu Ziqing understood Su Xun's intention and also walked forward. He thought for a moment, raised two fingers, and silently operated his mind.

  Everyone saw that his fingertips suddenly produced a faint blue light, which quickly turned into a blue light ball. With a flick of his finger, it transformed into a blue light beam and shot accurately into the Lingyun Tongbao in front of him with a "whoosh" sound!

  The Zhū Líng Tōng Bǎo was hit right on, and in an instant it turned red, from light red to medium red, the color gradually deepening until it finally stopped at a deep red.

  But this red is indeed just red, not as rich and almost purple as the previous few days' pride, but also 'colorful' and beautiful, like a proud sun!

  It can make the Lingtongbao so apparent, it is clear that he has also accumulated a solid foundation, and there is no sign of instability.

  It is indeed the case that Xu Ziqing has been plagued by hardships since he embarked on his immortal journey, and had even suffered the calamity of having his dantian crippled. Fortunately, after absorbing the essence of the Wood element, he was able to repair his dantian and return to the path of immortality.

  It was also because of this that the wood energy in his body far surpassed those who were equally 'sexual', let alone having the legendary cultivation method "Wàn Mù Zhǒng Xīn Dà Fǎ" to cultivate, and having a single spirit root to purify the spiritual energy he absorbed... After going through many things, his cultivation was uninterrupted, and he finally reached this level of attainment.

  It can be said that Xu Ziqing's current cultivation is all due to bitter practice, although there are some lucky encounters, but after all, the difficulties are many, and with such experiences, how could his foundation not be solid?

  However, the provocation of the boundless sect was a miscalculation.

  Tang Wenshan saw the performance of Su Xun and Xu Ziqing, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. However, the other cultivators were not foolish, and those with discerning eyes could see through their tricks at a glance, so they naturally wouldn't join in on the commotion. Therefore, no one else who had been selected by the spiritual root came to "try their luck" again, but instead laughed and excused themselves.

  Xu Ziqing and Su Xuan's move was a severe blow to the morale of the Wu Liang Sect. The other scattered cultivators in the alliance, who had just shown signs of worry on their faces, also put down their worries and revealed joyful expressions.

  The people of Wu Liang Zong looked at the scattered repair alliance with hatred, and didn't say much. There were many contradictions between this alliance and sect, but since they had already done useless work, they wouldn't continue either.

  Tang Wenshan smiled again: "Now, the fifty-two winners of the literary contest have been decided. Tomorrow, the martial arts competition will begin. As for today...the weather is not early, everyone can choose a cave to rest and cultivate their skills."

  He finished speaking and with a wave of his sleeve, suddenly everything in front of everyone's eyes changed again.

  Only the back was originally a thick cloud and fog, just like the "milk" white "color" of condensed cream, sticky and invisible to any scenery. But after Tang Wenfei's swing, the clouds and fog suddenly dispersed.

  In an instant, a extremely dense spiritual energy rushed forth, as if the entire person was immersed in thick spiritual power, every 'pore' vying to breathe.

  There's no doubt about it, this is definitely a third-order spiritual vein!

  In the small world of Haotian, a third-order spiritual vein has never appeared. Even if the scattered repair alliance had once obtained a spiritual vein through good fortune, it was only a small spiritual vein below the third-order spiritual vein.

  So no one knew that the third-order spiritual vein was actually so amazing, with such a stunning spiritual energy. Upon closer inspection, the energy was so dense it seemed to form illusory dragons that swam freely through the mountains...

  Just as the three-stage spiritual vein shook, the cultivators raised their eyes again and looked clearly at the front, and were shocked once more!

  Just behind the clouds and mist, there is a bare mountain wall, towering into the clouds, straight and steep.

  On the mountain wall, hundreds of 'holes' and 'caves' were dug, sparse and not crowded, but those 'holes' and 'caves' had no special features, their size and entrance width seemed to be precisely measured, all ordinary and identical, yet there was no trace of axe chiseling, apparently made by the magical method of the immortal.

  It's just unknown what kind of profound cultivation and what kind of magical methods can open up these 'caves' and make people yearn for them endlessly!

  Having just arrived at Tenglong Peak for half a day, I have already seen all sorts of wondrous and mysterious places. All the proud sons, no matter how arrogant they were before, cannot muster up even a single spark here.

  Tang Wens flying fingers lightly pointed to the highest place with several 'holes' and said: "Those who enter with spiritual roots live on the top. The rest of you have no such restrictions. All go!"

  After his words fell, the proud sons did not say much either. At this time, there is no need to think again, since the 'Dong' Mansion was opened on that mountain wall, the three-stage spiritual vein must be buried in it.

  Whether it is the defeated warrior or the one preparing for tomorrow's battle, the former does not want to waste another moment, while the latter wants to make meticulous preparations in order to leave behind... All of them are eager to enter a cave as soon as possible and cultivate their skills.

  The next moment, hundreds of rays of light rose from the ground and spontaneously threw themselves into those 'holes' and 'caves'.

  Xu Ziqing and Su Xuan stood still on the spot, not competing with anyone for anything.

  After a while, the proud sons had all chosen their 'caves'. Xu Ziting and several other dual-spirited people also brought their masters with them, rising into the air.

  Su Xun smiled and said: "Zi Qing brother, you can count on us."

  Xu Ziqing also smiled.

  The two of them simultaneously employed their techniques, one stepping on emerald leaves and the other treading on his innate treasure fire, both floating upwards... They grew farther and farther away from the ground, gradually surpassing the 'Dong' mansion below, until they reached the summit.

  Finally, we reached the summit.

  At the very top, there were four or five 'holes' left, Wu Changlao and Peng Changlao lived in the same 'hole', while Xu Ziqing and Su Xun each sat on either side of the two elders, so as to facilitate their protection.

  Having decided on a place to stay, Xu Ziqing smiled slightly and walked into his own "cave" with a gentle swaying motion.

  As soon as I stepped in, it was another feeling altogether.
