Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

In Baishan, outside Qingyuan Sect, Lou Yuan said goodbye to his wife and children and then met up with Master Wanzhu.

After so many years, there is no sense of distance between the man and the spider.

The Ten Thousand Spiders still had the same base color of white jade, but unlike in the past, their bodies now had a bit more blood color, and it looked like the snow was stained with a few red marks, making it look a little weird.

The spider moved its gem-like compound eyes and made a strange sound, as if teasing Lou Yuan:

"Humph, after not seeing you for so many years, you have become more sentimental. You were so hesitant to say goodbye to your wife and children. Could it be that you have been trapped in the land of gentleness for so many years and lost your courage?"

Lou Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "How can you, a spider, understand the true feelings of the world?"

The spider didn't take it seriously. It waved its slender legs and made a hissing sound:

"True love? In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only strength is the truth. Don't let these sentimental things delay important things, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes."

Lou Yuan frowned slightly, but he knew in his heart that what Wan Zhu said made sense. He took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, and said:

"Let's go, we have more important things to do."

Ten thousand spiders let out a sharp cry and rushed forward like lightning. Lou Yuan followed closely behind them, and their figures gradually disappeared into the distant sky.

Halfway through the journey, the spiders started to chatter again:

"Look at you, you were full of vigor and ambition back then, how come you have become so indecisive now? In your current state, you still want to go to the desolate desert in the far west to find the holy place for forming a pill? I think you'll back out before you even get there."

Lou Yuan rolled his eyes at Wan Zhu and said, "Can't you just be quiet? I know what I am doing."

Wan Zhu was relentless, "You have a sense of propriety? I think you are blinded by your love affair. Don't forget, there are dangers everywhere along the way. If you don't stay alert at all times, you will lose your life if you are not careful."

Lou Yuan was silent for a moment and said:

"I know this journey is dangerous, but the Jindan Holy Land is extremely important to me, I must give it a try."

Wan Zhu snorted coldly:

"Well, I hope you don't let me down. But having said that, if anything happens to you, I won't care."

Lou Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said:

"Don't worry, I won't die that easily. But you, please don't fail at the critical moment."

Wan Zhu was so angry that he stamped his feet, but he couldn't do anything to Lou Yuan. So the man and the spider continued to move forward while teasing each other, heading towards the unknown far west.

Half a month later, Lou Yuan disguised himself as a first-level casual cultivator and took a large flying shuttle to the far western desert.

According to Wan Zhu's information, the holy place for forming the elixir he mentioned is located in a desolate desert in the far west.

According to legend, more than ten thousand years ago, this place was a vibrant oasis. However, after a great war, the oasis became a dead place, the desert became crystallized, and the land contained the murderous power released when the god fell, so this land was completely deserted.

Lou Yuan was self-aware of the battle that year, this was not something he could understand the inside story, now he just wanted to use the terrain here to perfect his alchemy theory and help himself become a top-grade alchemist.

After getting off the shuttle, Lou Yuan went deeper into the desert alone, but this place was already the sphere of influence controlled by the Black Wind Valley.

However, when he finally approached this area, Lou Yuan was a little troubled. In the desert covering hundreds of miles, he could not find the core area that Wan Zhu mentioned.

"Old ghost, I feel like you are not very familiar with this place. How come you have been searching for such a long time but still can't find the core area?"

The spiders made a sharp sound, as if refuting Lou Yuan:

"Humph, after so many years, the terrain has changed so much, how could it be the same as I remembered? The storms, quicksand, and those fierce forces in this desert are constantly changing the landforms here. Do you think I am omnipotent? Back then, when I was roaming this area, you didn't even know where you were!"

At this time, strong winds were howling across the desolate desert, blowing up clouds of sand and dust, like a yellow dragon rolling between heaven and earth.

Lou Yuan half-squinted his eyes, looking at his own spiritual power shield, which blocked the wind and sand blowing in his face. He said:

"Hey, old ghost, this is unlike you. Don't you think highly of yourself normally? Why do you admit defeat now?"

Lou Yuan's mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

At this time, the wind in the desert was howling, blowing up layers of sand and dust. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the sand and dust, forming hazy beams of light.

Master Wan Zhu catapulted down from above Lou Yuan's head, its eight slender legs swaying slightly in the air. It carefully sensed some traces in the air, its gem-like eyes flashing with mysterious light.

After a moment, Master Wan Zhu said confidently, "I sensed it. Going this way is definitely the right choice."

Lou Yuan looked at Master Wan Zhu's confident look, shook his head helplessly, and said:

"Okay, I'll trust you again, even though I said that the last few times."

Master Wan Zhu seemed to be irritated by Lou Yuan's attitude, and it made a sharp sound:

"It's definitely right this time, let's go, kid!"

After saying that, it took the lead and quickly crawled in one direction, raising a small cloud of dust behind it.

Lou Yuan sighed, tightened the weapon in his hand, and followed Master Wanzhu. Their figures seemed particularly small in the vast desert.

In Baishan, in Qingyuan Sect, in an ancient room, Liu Xun, Jiang Wanqin, and Lu Zhi sat around a carved pear wood table. The atmosphere was a little solemn, as they were discussing an important matter.

Liu Xun was wearing a green robe, his face was calm, his eyes revealed deep thought. After a moment, Liu Xun said:

"Bihumen invited us to participate in this secret treasure exploration. What do you two think about this?"

Liu Xun frowned slightly, and looked back and forth between Jiang Wanqin and Lu Zhi, trying to see something.

After hearing this, Jiang Wanqin and Lu Zhi looked puzzled at first, then Lu Zhi frowned slightly, stroked his chin lightly, and asked carefully:

"Why did the Bihu Sect invite us? Wouldn't it be best if we were the only ones to open this secret treasure? If it were me, I wouldn't want other forces to get involved in the secret treasure found in my territory. I think this is strange."

Lu Zhi was wearing a blue suit, with an upright posture and a look of confusion in his eyes. After becoming a Jindan cultivator, Liu Xun also included him in the core circle of Qingyuan Sect, mainly responsible for the control of Qingyuan Sect's military force. Lu Zhi has done a good job during this period.

At this time, the house was very quiet, with only the occasional breeze gently blowing the curtains, making a slight rustling sound.

Jiang Wanqin also had a face full of doubts. She nodded slightly, frowned, and said:

"Bihumen is a vassal of Lianshui League. What is Lianshui League's attitude towards this matter? Wuxing League is of the same blood and branches. What do the other leagues say?"

Jiang Wanqin was wearing a white dress, she had an elegant temperament and a clear and pleasant voice, but with a hint of worry in her voice. It was not because she was worried about this matter, but because Lou Yuan had just left and there was no news yet. She was worried about this matter. In comparison, she didn't care about the secret treasure of Bihu Gate.

Liu Xun smiled, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, then told him the details of the incident.

It turned out that the Bihu Sect was once an important vassal sect in the Lianshui League, with two Jindan cultivators and dozens of foundation-building cultivators. It was once glorious and prosperous.

However, when the civil war in Baishan broke out, Lianshui League wanted to quietly move to Qiyun Sect, but ignored vassals like Bihu Sect.

In other words, they were cruelly abandoned by Lianshui League.

Later, after Lian Shuimeng fled in a hurry, He Huanzong pressed forward step by step. During that difficult and hard time, Bihumen had no choice but to flee north with their entire family and no longer stay in the same place.

But later the Lian Shui League failed to join the Qiyun Sect and had to turn back to take charge. However, the Bihu Sect had already fled far to the north by then. They saw that the Lian Shui League had returned, but it was extremely difficult for them to come back.

Shui Lingyi, the current leader of Lianshui League, deliberately excluded the Bihu Sect that fled north in order to win over the scattered hearts of the people within the League and replan the power structure. This was undoubtedly a cruel move to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Both parties did something dishonorable in this matter.

Since the master ran away without taking his vassal with him, it is understandable that the vassal chose not to resist and fled north.

However, Lianshui League can abandon Bihu Gate, but Bihu Gate cannot betray Lianshui League. This is the sadness and helplessness of being a vassal.

Originally targeted by Lianshui League as a warning to others, the decline of Bihu Sect seemed inevitable.

However, during this period of time, someone accidentally discovered a mysterious treasure in the Bihu Lake within the influence of the Bihu Sect.

This is going to be very lively.

I don't know how Lianshui League and Bihu Gate negotiated, but in the end they parted ways unhappily and broke up completely.

Therefore, Bihumen sent out invitations widely, turning the private matter of the opening of the secret treasure into a major event in Baishan, attracting the attention of all parties. It was truly a wonderful and bloody plot.

Therefore, after understanding the cause and effect of the matter, the three of them couldn't help but laugh at Lian Shuimeng's behavior.

Liu Xun shook his head slightly, with a meaningful smile on his face, and concluded: "The Lianshui League really shot itself in the foot. They abandoned the Bihu Sect in the beginning, but now they have been defeated by the Bihu Sect."

Jiang Wanqin also chuckled, "Indeed, Lianshui League's move is really unwise. Now it's really lively, with all forces gathered together, I'm afraid they will find it difficult to control the situation."

Lu Zhi crossed his arms, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes. "Humph, Lian Shui League has brought this upon themselves. They will probably have a headache with this secret treasure. But whether we participate or not still needs your decision, Master."

"We should participate in this grand event. No matter what, this is an occasion to demonstrate the influence of our Qingyuan Sect. We cannot turn a blind eye to it and let other sects look down on us. So I decided to participate. But do you two have any recommendations for candidates?"

Liu Xun looked solemn, and his words were full of consideration for the sect.

Liu Xun was considering the sect, and there was nothing wrong with this move.

After hearing this, Lu Zhi's eyes flashed with determination, and he said, "How about letting me lead the team myself?"

As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, Liu Xun immediately objected:

“No, you are the future of our Qingyuan Sect. My cultivation is hopeless, and Wanqin’s potential is also insufficient. Only you are diligent and brave, and have the hope of reaching the late Jindan stage.

You should not take risks in this kind of thing. There are many strange things about the secret treasure. For the sake of safety, it is better to send a late-stage foundation-building cultivator, a mature and steady person to lead the team. I don't expect to gain any benefits from it, just get through it safely. "

Liu Xun's tone was firm and unquestionable, and his tone was full of care for Lu Zhi. He knew very well how important Lu Zhi was to the Qingyuan Sect and could not let him fall into unknown danger easily.

Lu Zhi frowned slightly, seeming somewhat unwilling, but seeing Liu Xun's resolute attitude, he had to temporarily suppress the thoughts in his mind.

Jiang Wanqin listened quietly at the side, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. After a few breaths, she hesitated and said:

"Why not give this opportunity to Jiang Kui? Her time has come, so it's a good thing to give it a try. Even if she fails, she won't have any regrets."

"Jiang Kui?"

Liu Xun had a complicated expression. The existence of this person was already a taboo in Qingyuan Sect. Normally, no one would mention it on their own initiative. After Fang Qingyuan brought Jiang Kui into Qingyuan Sect, he never asked about it again. Over the years, Jiang Kui had been practicing in seclusion and had not come out for many years.

If Jiang Wanqin hadn't mentioned it this time, Liu Xun himself would have ignored her. Looking at the curiosity in Lu Zhi's expression, it was enough to see that Jiang Kui was low-key and had no sense of presence.

Lu Zhi was not familiar with Jiang Kui. After all, this was a matter involving the grudges with Fang Qingyuan, and strictly speaking, Lu Zhi was already the third generation of the Qingyuan Sect.

Hearing this, Lu Zhi just stood there quietly, with a hint of doubt and thought in his eyes.

Regarding that long-ago past, he had only occasionally heard about it from the fragments of words from the elders of the sect, but had never really understood it in depth.

"Well, let's give this opportunity to Jiang Kui, so that we can give him an explanation for what happened back then. Pass on my order that Jiang Kui will lead the team to find the secret treasure of the Bihu Sect this time, and then select some cultivators in the sect who are about to die. Whoever is willing to give it a try can go. Other than that, no one young and strong can participate in this matter."

Liu Xun's words were firm and resolute, as if carrying a heavy sense of historical responsibility. His eyes were deep and solemn, as if he was recalling the past years.

As Liu Xun's order was issued, there was a sudden stir in the Qingyuan Sect.

Those monks whose time is approaching have both fear of the unknown and a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

They understood that this might be their last chance, a gamble between life and death.

Although the young disciples were unwilling, they understood the sect's decision. They knew that it was to protect them and for the future of Qingyuan Sect.

So, under Liu Xun's order, a shuttle loaded with white-haired old monks set out from Qingyuan Sect and sailed to the lakeside of Bihu Gate.

At this time, countless temporary camps have been set up on the shore. Various defensive shields light up the night sky, illuminating the surrounding lake with colorful lights, which is very beautiful.

From time to time, animal ships, monks, etc. flew by, creating a busy scene.

Jiang Kui slowly got off the shuttle and looked into the distance. That was the main city of Lianshui League. When he was young, he purchased his first second-order flying sword here. Thinking about it now, it was still vivid in his mind.
