In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Not long after, some forces in Tiannan suddenly received news that Lu Yuan, who had disappeared for several years, was back. And the first thing he did when he returned was to dig three feet into the entire Tianlan Grassland, find the unexpected saint lurking among the mortals, and kill him in one fell swoop.

This caused a lot of commotion and uneasiness among many people who had had issues with Lu Yuan before. Fortunately, since then, Lu Yuan has returned to Qiling Island to retreat, and these people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Yuanwu Kingdom and Shenmiao Sect.

Ever since Lu Yuan killed the old devil Hehuan in Shengong Mountain more than two hundred years ago. Brother Tiezi took advantage of the situation and integrated the three sects of the former Tianxing Sect to rebuild the Shenmiao Sect. In addition to completely unifying the Yuanwu Kingdom, it also included several surrounding small countries, becoming one of the most powerful superpowers in the south.

Just a few months ago, the Shenmiao Sect suddenly sent out invitations to all the famous masters in Tiannan who were proficient in weapon refining, formations, and talisman making to come to the Yuanwu Kingdom. Many sect ancestors and famous old monsters were notified.

In addition, many casual cultivators who are proficient in weapon refining, formations, and talisman making have also come to Yuanwu Kingdom to try their luck.

So in recent times, Shenmiao Sect has gradually become more and more lively.

First, some disciples built several high platforms outside the mountain gate formation, and were guarded by disciples from Shenmiao Sect's weapon refining, formation, and talisman making. On the largest high platform, there was even a Nascent Soul monk sitting on duty.

Outside the Shenmiao Sect, monks came frequently from time to time and walked towards the three high platforms according to their own strengths.

For a time, there was a long queue in front of every high platform. Most of these people are weapon-refining and foundation-building monks, but there are also alchemy-forming monks.

There were also a few people who ignored the three long dragon-like teams and flew directly to the largest high platform among them. Then they showed a bright red invitation-like thing, and then they were taken into the Shenmiao Sect by special personnel. .

And when those people who were waiting in line saw this, no one dared to say anything. Because everyone holding the invitation is an old Yuanying monster with great status.

At this time, on a mountaintop a few miles away from Shenmiao Sect, an old man with gray hair and a slightly funny appearance appeared strangely out of thin air.

If the three of Lu Yuan were here, they would probably be shocked immediately. Because this old man is none other than one of the few remaining god-transformation monks in the Jin Dynasty, the old ghost Xiang Zhili Xiang who is worthy of their peers.

The old ghost looked at the Shenmiao Sect in the distance, and suddenly his eyes flickered, as if he could see the distance several miles away as nothing, taking in everything in front of the Shenmiao Sect's mountain gate.

After pondering for a long time, his face suddenly distorted and turned into an ordinary-looking young man, whose cultivation level was only at the peak of his Qi refining period. Then he took out an ordinary flying sword weapon and drove it slowly towards Shenmiao Sect.

Slowly, the sky became dark.

At this time, the middle-aged man transformed by Xiang Zhili and more than a hundred other selected low-level monks successfully sneaked into the Shenmiao Sect's weapon refining alt.

After some selection, Xiang Zhili was spotted by a foundation-building monk in yellow clothes, who then took him to a slightly short mountain called Huangyan Peak in the Shenmiao Sect.

In an attic on the mountain filled with miscellaneous materials, there was a dark-faced man in his thirties, who appeared to be in the late stages of foundation building.

"Senior Brother Liu, Junior Brother, I have been ordered to get something. I wonder how many things we have this time?" the monk in yellow said as soon as he entered the door.

"I'm the only one working hard, how much more can I do?" The black-faced man muttered, throwing out a storage bag.

After the monk in yellow took it, his consciousness glanced slightly, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Senior Brother Liu, the difference is a full 20%. I won't be able to explain it when I go back. Moreover, yesterday several masters severely reprimanded all the masters, saying that our weapon refining group is inferior to the other two. To be honest, the progress has been much delayed. If something important is delayed, the Great Elder will blame it, but no one can afford it."

"Hmph! It's not that the masters don't know that among the three things to be refined this time, the two formations and talismans are only responsible for one of them, while our weapon refining one is responsible for all three, and the progress is not as good as the other two. It’s not normal!”

"And I've already mentioned it to the above to send me some helpers, but as a result, there's not even a fly!" the black-faced monk said unhappily, and then looked at Xiang Zhi behind the yellow-robed monk. On the ceremony.

After looking up and down, the dissatisfaction on his face became even stronger.

"Junior Brother Qin, is this person the helper you brought me? His cultivation level is too low. Does he really know how to refine weapons?"

"Senior Brother Liu's guess is good, but you may have made a mistake. Although this person's cultivation level is low, even Senior Uncle Huang is full of praise for his skill in weapon refining. That's why I specially brought him here to you." The man in yellow He said with a smile.

"Oh! Since it was Master Huang who passed the test, it seems that I misunderstood my junior brother." Hearing this, the black-faced man named Liu unexpectedly looked at Xiang Laogui again, with a look of surprise on his face.

Seeing that the black-faced man was no longer repulsive, the yellow-clothed monk said to the old ghost at the right time: "This is your Uncle Liu, you can temporarily help him from now on, and you can improve your weapon refining skills.

During this period, there will be seniors in the sect who will regularly give you some pointers on your cultivation, and if you do well during this period, you will be rewarded with a Foundation Building Pill in advance. "

The middle-aged man transformed into the old ghost was smiling from beginning to end, nodding in agreement.

"Okay, the people Senior Brother Liu wants have been sent over. I have to go to other Senior Brothers to collect materials. I heard that the Luoyun Sect will also recruit a group of weapon refiners to come over. I think they can help a lot when they come. Busy." The monk in yellow muttered to himself before leaving, then stood up and left.

So for a while, only Xiang Laogui and the black-faced man were left in the secret room.

"You heard what I said just now. As long as you can complete my tasks on time every month, you can handle the rest of the time by yourself. If you can't complete the tasks, then get out of here right away." The black-faced man showed no mercy at all. , said unceremoniously.

When Xiang Laogui heard this, he still had a smile on his face, and his behavior became more and more smooth.

Seeing this, the black-faced man couldn't help but feel a little angry, and was about to reprimand him.

At this moment, a bright light flashed in Xiang Laogui's eyes, and the black-faced man's eyes soon became dull.

"Sit down, I have something to ask you."

After about a quarter of an hour, Old Ghost Xiang looked at the black-faced man in front of him and shook his head in disappointment.

"This guy really knows very little. It seems he has to find those Nascent Soul monks."

After saying that, Xiang Gui turned into a blurry shadow and disappeared into the dark night.

A month later, in the attic of Huangyan Peak.

"What they want to refine is quite complicated. It will probably take less than a hundred years to succeed. I won't waste time here anymore." In the attic, the middle-aged man who transformed into an old ghost seemed to be saying to himself road.

"Senior Xiang, are you leaving?" Next to Old Ghost, the black-faced man named Liu asked cautiously.

"Well, I have other important things, so you can keep an eye on this place. Once they succeed, let me know immediately."

"This... I just told you, senior, that it may take them a hundred years to reach the level of disciples in the foundation-building stage..." The black-faced man surnamed Liu looked surprised at the old ghost's instructions, but I didn't dare to refuse, so I had no choice but to say this.

"I know what you mean." Xiang Laogui smiled.

With a wave of his hand, the light flashed. A medicine bottle, a simple jade charm, and a blue gown floated in front of the black-faced man named Liu.

"The elixir in the medicine bottle is enough for you to break through to the elixir formation stage within ten years. This jade talisman is the 'Wanli Talisman' from ancient times. Once there is news, you can use this to notify me.

The last green silk shirt is an ancient defensive treasure, and there is still a piece of my spiritual thought left in it, which can withstand the attack of the monks in the later stage of Nascent Soul, leaving it for you in case of any unexpected events. In this way, even if you are exposed, Lu Yuan and the others will not take your life for my sake. "Xiang Laogui pointed at three items one by one and said calmly to the black-faced man named Liu.

When the black-faced man named Liu heard that he would be able to form an elixir within ten years, his brows immediately lit up with joy. After all, the person in front of him was the rumored god-transformation monk. If he casually offered such valuable benefits, he would definitely not deceive him.
