Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

Qianqiao City, Solitary Plum Peak to the west of the city.

In an old temple, Zhao Xuan sat on a cushion in a Zen room, meditating on the Yuan and the One.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said to himself, "It's about time, three destined people, please bring my treasure out! This Immortal will remember your great contribution."

After he finished speaking, he shouted to the outside of the door: "Xiaoyu, come in for a moment!"

Outside the Zen room, Gongsun Yu straightened her sleeves and deliberately exposed her shoulders before walking into the Zen room.

"Master Immortal, you called me, what do you want me to do?" Gongsun Yu said.

"Pass on my decree to complete the Qi training... Well, how many people do we have in the foundation-building sect now?" Zhao Xuan said.

"Reporting to the Immortal Master, we now have over ten thousand followers. After learning your skills, twenty of them have successfully advanced to the foundation-building stage." Gongsun Yu said.

Zhao Xuan frowned and said, "It's a bit slow. As the left protector, you have to speed up!"

Gongsun Yu pouted and said, "I, the left protector, am only at the initial stage of foundation building. It's hard to convince others! Besides, foundation building pills are also a problem. With so many of us, that would mean a huge amount of spirit stones."

"As for your realm, I will help you improve it in a few days. As for the elixir, I will pass on to you a copy of 'The Great Elixir King Sutra'. You can find some talented followers to pass it on and have them refine elixirs for the sect." Zhao Xuan said.

"Help me improve my realm... is that what you mean?" Gongsun Yu thought, his body softened, and he hooked his arm around Zhao Xuan's neck, saying, "Master Immortal, why do you have to wait a few days? Look at this place with a green lamp and an ancient Buddha, isn't it different..."

Zhao Xuan pushed her away and said, "I want to reach the Golden Core Stage, you should take care of your business first!"

Gongsun Yu put away her coquettish attitude, looked puzzled, and asked, "Business? It seems you haven't given me any instructions yet!"

Zhao Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Well, where was I just now?"

"You asked how many people there were in the Foundation Establishment Sect."

Zhao Xuan coughed and said, "It's like this. You send all the foundation-building monks in the sect to the area where we first met. Anyone who comes out of the fog sea must be persuaded to join our Shengxian Sect. Whoever can do it will be promoted to the Heavenly King who protects the sect."

Gongsun Yu nodded, rubbed against Zhao Xuan again, and said, "Okay, I'll obey the order of the Immortal Master!"

Zhao Xuan's face turned serious, and he waved his hand and said, "You go down first! If it's not important, don't disturb me."

Gongsun Yu bowed and left. As he walked out of the meditation room, his mind became active. He thought to himself, "This Heavenly King who protects religion said so himself. Of course I cannot disobey him, but he cannot be greater than me, the Left Protector."

She twisted her waist like a water snake and walked into the main hall of the temple. She turned her back to the Buddha statue, cleared her throat, and shouted, "Come here, go and call the big shrimp, the little shrimp, and all the foundation-building monks in the sect. I want to read out the Immortal Lord's decree!"

"Left Protector, please wait a moment. I will go and invite him right away!" said a voice outside the hall.

After a while, the big and small shrimps came hurriedly, each with several foundation-building monks behind them.

In a year, the aura of the two changed drastically. Not only did their realm enter the initial stage of foundation building, but their every move also exuded the aura of superiors.

"Sister Yu, your cultivation is improving so fast. I think you can form a golden elixir in less than 20 years." Jiang Daxie took the lead and said with a fist.

Gongsun Yu remained silent and did not turn around.

Jiang Xiaoxia sneered, took a step forward, and said, "Saint Mother, the Left Dharma Protector, Jiang Xiaoxia and all the brothers and sisters are here to welcome the Immortal Master's order!"

Behind him, seven or eight people moved in unison and shouted, "Saint Mother, the Left Dharma Protector, we respectfully welcome the Immortal Master's order!"

"Holy Mother, these words are very appropriate. I didn't realize before that this little shrimp is very smart!" Gongsun Yu still didn't turn around, but finally spoke:

"In compliance with the order of the Immortal Master, you are to go to the edge of the Fog Sea to preach. I will tell you the specific location later. This is a test, and we can only recruit monks from the Fog Sea. Whoever recruits more will become the Heavenly King who protects the religion in the future. Big shrimps, small shrimps, you must seize the opportunity."

She had added this last sentence forcefully, instantly narrowing down the candidates for the king of heaven to the big and small shrimps.

The big and small shrimps stepped forward together, bowed and said: "We are loyal to the teachings, the immortal methods are complete, and we will follow the instructions of the Immortal Master."

After the two of them finished shouting, the people behind them said in unison: "Be loyal to the teachings, follow the complete set of immortal techniques, and obey the orders of the Immortal Master."

"Go! Don't let me down." Gongsun Yu waved his hand and handed a map to Jiang Xiaoxia.

Jiang Xiaoxia was overjoyed. He respectfully put the map away, bowed again, and left the hall.

"I'm the eldest brother, what does Sister Yu mean by this?" Jiang Da Xia felt very upset, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he asked after leaving the hall, "Fourth brother, was that a map Sister Yu gave you just now?"

Jiang Xiaoxia quickly took out the map and said, "I haven't seen it before. Let's take a look together, brothers!"

He brought the map in front of the other person and slowly opened it.

The map depicts the terrain around the sea of ​​fog, with mountains, rivers and streams in great detail.

A red line starts from Baiyao City, passes through several red crosses, and ends at a red dot at the edge of the sea of ​​fog, next to which is written the word "King of Heaven".

The moment Big Shrimp and Little Shrimp saw the map, their thoughts instantly went back to a year ago.

Isn't this the blueprint of the first thing Gongsun Yu asked them to do after they defected to Zhao Xuan?

And that red dot is where the people first met.

"Third brother, Sister Yu gave us this picture, it has a deep meaning!" Jiang Xiaoxia said.

"A year ago, we were just casual cultivators in the Qi training stage. With our talents, it is highly likely that we will not be able to build a foundation in this lifetime. Sister Yu gave us this picture to remind us not to forget our roots and to do this job well!" Jiang Daxie said.

Jiang Xiaoxia nodded repeatedly and said, "Third brother is right. Sister Yu has good intentions for us. Although we are in charge of nearly a thousand people, we don't have a formal position in the church. The Heavenly King of the Church of Protection sounds very powerful. I will definitely do my best to assist Third brother and get this position."

"You've just left the house and you're already testing me!" Jiang Daxie sneered in his heart, but his face was very kind, and he said:

"Sister Yu mentioned our names. Maybe this is the Immortal Lord's intention. Besides, so many people heard it clearly. If you give in, how can I convince them? Just fight for it with all your heart. We are brothers. It doesn't matter who gives in to the Heavenly King of the Religion."

Jiang Xiaoxia's eyes instantly moistened, and he took Jiang Daxia's hand and said, "Third brother, I..."

Jiang Da Xia waved his hand and said, "Let's set off quickly! It's more important to complete the tasks assigned by Sister Yu."

After he finished speaking, he immediately summoned a cloud and jumped up first. Behind him, a group of foundation-building monks saw him and hurriedly followed.

With the breeze, the clouds rushed into the sky and disappeared into the horizon in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Jiang Daxia's team leave, a fat Taoist priest immediately stepped forward from behind Jiang Xiaoxia and said, "Master, aren't we setting off?"

Jiang Xiaoxia looked at the horizon and said coldly, "Why are you in such a hurry? What's the use of being in such a hurry? Go and find five hundred reliable Qigong masters. The men should be handsome and the women should be pretty. They should be good at speaking and well versed in the core principles of our religion. The fog sea is so vast, what can we do with just a few people?"

The fat Taoist nodded repeatedly and praised: "Master is really thoughtful. This Heavenly King who protects the religion will definitely not escape. He must be on our side."

Jiang Xiaoxia smiled, feeling very pleased.

The Shengxian Sect, which was established less than a year ago, is like a big net spread out at the edge of the fog sea. Any cultivator who walks out of the fog sea will be warmly cared for.
