Cultivating immortals is a hard job

In the dim secret room, only one magic tool was emitting a faint light.

On the two rows of seven or eight seats, there were only three people sitting.

Two of them were the middle-stage Jindan who were marked by Mo Xun.

The atmosphere was a little dull, and everyone seemed to be waiting for something.

Until half an incense stick later, the stone door opened with a bang, and then a thin middle-aged man walked in.

This man's face was extremely pale, as if he had some strange disease.

But the eyes between his eyebrows were as sharp as an eagle, and at the same time, a powerful mana wave was emitting from the inside out.

Looking closely at his cultivation, he had reached the false infant realm!

It seemed that he was just a little bit away from condensing the elixir and transforming into an infant, and from then on he would achieve the supreme path.

This person was the ancestor with the highest cultivation in the current Zong family, Zong Tai!

Not to mention his own strength, just the name revealed a sense of dominance.

As soon as Zong Tai came in, the other three stood up suddenly.

Behind him, there was a middle-stage Jindan man in gorgeous clothes. His face looked much more normal, and even quite extraordinary.

This man was called Zong Tonghai, and he was the current head of the Zong family.

"I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years. Congratulations, Brother Zong, on your cultivation reaching a new level. I'm afraid it won't be long before I can call you senior."

The one who said this was one of the weird cultivators.

This man had changed his true appearance at this moment. With his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he could be called elegant and peaceful.

If Mo Xun was here, he would probably feel a little familiar.

Because this man was the host of the Situ family ceremony at the Si Nan Conference that year, Situ Zhang!

To be honest, the Situ family had a life-and-death feud with Mo Xun.

When he had not yet established his foundation, the two ancestors of the Situ family used the foundation-building pill to trick many casual cultivators into entering the mountain. In the end, they actually colluded with the demons and used the Heavenly Demon Xuanyin Formation to devour the mana of all cultivators. Fortunately, he had the green gourd and an invisible cloak, so Mo Xun escaped.

Since then, the Situ family has joined the Nine Sects of the Demonic Path.

I never thought that after more than two hundred years, the Situ Zhang who was only at the peak of the foundation-building stage has now condensed into a golden pill.

And he has also cultivated to the middle stage!

Zong Tai looked at Situ Zhang expressionlessly, and his sharp eyes made people tremble.

"You are originally my junior, so what's wrong with calling me a senior?"

Situ Zhang smiled embarrassedly.

This flattery almost hit the horse's hoof.

"It seems that the demons have put a lot of effort into you. You are only about 400 years old now. It is not bad to have achieved what you have now."

Zong Tai had already sat at the top while speaking.

Zong Tonghai followed closely behind him, nodded to the others, and sat down at the end.

"Tell me, what do you want to see me for this time?"

Situ Zhang and another companion next to him looked at each other, as if they had expected Zong Tai to come straight to the point.

This is how conversations between high-level cultivators who don't like to ask about the secular world always go!

Some people regard cultivation time as extremely precious, and even if they say a few more words to others, they think it is a waste of time.

Situ Zhang stood up again.

"Brother Zong is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. I heard that Brother Zong has been preparing for the formation of the infant in recent decades. I wonder if there are any signs of a breakthrough?"

Zong Tai's eyes suddenly condensed, and his cultivation spread out uncontrollably, directly raising a gust of wind in the secret room.

The atmosphere became quiet the next moment.

These words undoubtedly meant to slap someone in the face.

If there were signs of a breakthrough, how could he still chat with others here?

To be honest, Zong Tai was also an extremely arrogant person.

Back then, he was only a little later than the two ancestors of the Situ family in forming the elixir.

As he said, he really deserved to be called "senior" by Situ Zhang in front of him.

But now, not only can the two of them only be friends as peers, but they are also ridiculed by their former juniors. How can he not be angry?

"What do you want to say?"

Facing this moody old guy, Situ Zhang's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Zong, don't misunderstand me. This time, I am sent by the Demon Lord Hall to give you a great opportunity."

The Demon Lord Hall here is similar to the Heavenly Dao League. It is a union established by the nine sects of the Demon Dao.

The people in charge are all Yuanying cultivators from the Demon Dao.

Zong Tai raised his eyebrows, and his pressure also dissipated.

"Oh? Then tell me what kind of opportunity it is that can cause such a big fight that you have to tell me."

These words are obviously a bit sarcastic.

However, Situ Zhang was not annoyed. Although the man in front of him had never made a breakthrough in many years, his strength should not be underestimated.

In addition, he was in someone else's territory at the moment. If he angered the other party, he might have to die here with his 100 pounds.

"Brother Zong, listen to me slowly. You have been in seclusion for a long time. Have you ever heard of the ancient teleportation array?"

Zong Tai nodded gently.

Although he has not shown up in these years, he still has a certain understanding of what happened in the outside world.

Every once in a while, a family member would send a message jade slip, talking about the various major events in the world of cultivation.

"Then what?"

Situ Zhang finally got the initiative to speak, and his heart was slightly settled.

He believed that as soon as his words came out, even if Zongtai was a murderous demon, he would be treated with courtesy.

Because not many people can resist that kind of temptation!

Especially Zongtai, whose life span is coming to an end.

Situ Zhang took a deep breath.

"This opportunity is related to this ancient teleportation array!"

Upon hearing this, even Zong Tonghai and another gray-clothed monk next to him immediately acted as if they were listening carefully.

This man in gray is also an ancestor of the clan.

His name is Zong Yixiao, and his cultivation is already in the late stage of pill formation.

Originally, this person was at the helm of the Zong family many years ago. It was not until Zong Tonghai grew up that Zong Yixiao stepped aside and became a retreating monk with peace of mind.

The achievements in these years are not small. From the middle stage to the late stage, it can be regarded as a step forward.

Zongtai said rather impatiently: "No need to play riddles anymore, just tell the truth!"

Situ Zhang was so disappointed in his heart, thinking that such a great good thing, shouldn't he let me get away with it?

"About this ancient teleportation array, whether it is Southern Border or Lotus Pond, it is no longer a secret. There are many theories circulating during it. Some say it leads to other legendary continents, and some think it is left behind by powerful monks from ancient times. I think my elder brother has also heard about the lost secret place."

The full name of the lotus pond mentioned by Situ Zhang is called the Lotus Pond Mountain Range.
