Mortal Mage

The white transparent crystal suddenly showed twelve colors.

"Waste spiritual roots?!"

Qing Ling's expression changed from surprise to curiosity, shock, confusion, doubt, and trance...

How is this possible? Wasted spiritual roots?

She grabbed Zhang Mingxuan's wrist and pressed it hard on the spirit-detecting crystal again.

The twelve colors in the spirit-detecting crystal became increasingly transparent and bright.

If a person with useless spiritual roots wants to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, not only does it require a huge amount of spiritual stones, but it will also take nearly a thousand years. It is simply impossible for a mortal to cultivate with useless spiritual roots.

She blinked her long eyelashes and looked at Zhang Mingxuan alertly. "My dear Xuanlu, I won't force you. Tell me and I will keep your secret. Otherwise, I will spread your affairs."

"I picked up a pill, and after I ate it..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I met an old man with a white beard in the mountains. He..."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will crush the sound transmission jade slip. Then the leaders of the thousands of small sects in Cuiyun Continent will definitely be very interested."

Qing Ling smiled lightly, her words full of threats, and she had a jade slip for transmitting sound in her hand.

"I discovered a secret place..."

"Secret place? Where is it?!"

Qing Ling smiled like a flower and tightly grasped Zhang Mingxuan's wrist; "Let's go to the secret realm."

"Forehead……"

There was no secret realm at all, Zhang Mingxuan was just talking nonsense. But it was obvious that the pill had been taken and the old man with white beard had left, so Qingling would definitely not believe it.

Only the secret realm must still be there, so it is the most credible.

The stone door rumbled open, Qingling grabbed Zhang Mingxuan's wrist, jumped out of the cave, and two flying swords appeared under their feet.

The flying beast followed closely behind.

"Where is the secret realm? Let's go to it."

"Xijun Demon Island, in the sea of ​​the interface wind belt."

Zhang Mingxuan's wrist was gripped so hard that it hurt. Qingling used her power to hold him back, so there was no way he could break free.

"Xijun Demon Continent?"

There was a hint of caution in Qingling's tone.

It would take an ordinary person at least half a year to travel from Chenfeng Continent to Xijun Demon Continent. It's impossible for Xuanlu to be on the road all the time, right?

However, if you ride a flying beast, then more than half a month will be enough.

Therefore, the secret realm should be somewhat credible. Even if it is fake, she has nothing to be afraid of as she is in the Nascent Soul stage.

"Master, I accidentally fell into the bottom of the Demon Sea when Zhoucheng sank into the sea. The secret realm is at the bottom of the sea."

"Okay, if it's as you said, I will definitely help you keep the secret. From now on, only you and I will know about this secret realm."

"Master, you won't kill me, will you?"

"My dear Xuanlu, you still don't know me very well."

As Qing Ling spoke, the flying sword under his feet accelerated increasingly faster, flying rapidly towards the direction of Xijun Demon Continent.

At this time, the starlight of the sound-transmitting jade slips beside Zhang Mingxuan kept flashing.

But he didn't dare to catch it, because he knew that these starlights were most likely the voice transmission between Li Xucheng and Xiyun.

"My friend, someone has sent you a message. What are you worried about?"

Qing Ling asked with a smile, "Why? Are you hiding something else, young man?"

"No."

Zhang Mingxuan swept the starlight with his left hand, and three sound transmission jade slips suddenly appeared in his hand. He did not listen to the contents of the jade slips, but put them into his storage bag.

"Hey, my friend's storage bag is still red, so exquisite, how about we exchange it?"

Qingling grabbed Zhang Mingxuan's wrist and flew quickly in the clouds, speaking in a playful tone.

"Master, please stop teasing me. Now that we are in the secret realm, can you let me go?"

"If the secret realm is true, I will not let you go. You will have to quit Beast Cloud Villa and become a menial disciple in my Sword Sect. From now on, you can only stay by my side."

"what?"

"Well, otherwise if you are caught by others again, the secret of this secret realm will be leaked again."

As they spoke, they had already flown over thousands of mountains.

-

In the boundless ocean, a small boat raised a white sail and sped across the sea.

In the middle of the boat, Bai Zheng's limbs were tied tightly with ropes and he was kneeling on the deck.

He was surrounded by elders and disciples from various major sects.

"How to deal with this person?"

The one who is speaking is Li Chao.

"The elder of the Xianyuan Sect's Formation Pavilion, Xiwei, will be here soon. When she arrives, she will kill Soul Search with one strike. What else can we do?"

Yang Kun's tone was cold.

"Well, how long will it take for Elder Xiwei from your clan to arrive?"

Shi Xian once asked about the two people standing beside him.

"One stick of incense at most."

凩枟 responded softly. He also hoped that 燩瞟 could arrive as soon as possible so that he could go back to the bottom of the sea of ​​​​Yaozhou to look for Shi Manman's soul.

Before, a sect disciple had sent him a message, telling him that Shi Manman’s life and death lamp had been extinguished.

"Well, don't worry, I have sealed this man's cultivation, spiritual power, and divine consciousness at the same time. You just need to keep an eye on him and don't let him commit suicide for the time being."

Shi Xianyan stood in front of a group of disciples from the Demon Subduing Sect and comforted the people around them.

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

"I really just wanted to catch the fox demon. I had no idea that it was the center of the formation. You must believe me, immortals."

Bai Zhengben's face was already pale as he looked at the people around him in horror.

In his soul, there is not only the matter of burning the center of the formation, but also many memories of Canglang.

"Stop yelling. If what you said is true, I will let your soul be reincarnated into another world."

Holding a green sword in his hand, he threatened Bai Zheng in a deep voice.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to be reincarnated, Master, Master, save me!"

Bai Zheng roared in a hoarse voice.

He knew that Bu Dazhen Ye Buwen possessed 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones, so he believed that Ye Buwen would never let him die.

"If you keep yelling, I'll kill you now."

Yan ０ put the green sword in his hand on Bai Zheng's neck, and Bai Zheng was so shocked that he remained silent.

"Someone escaped from the boat!"

Shi Xianyan pinched his fingers together, kicked his legs up into the air, and at the same time a flying sword flew from his waist to his feet.

No one is allowed to leave the boat before the soul search begins.

"It should be a disciple from our Xianyuan Sect. He said he had something important to do and left first."

凩枟 explained loudly.

"No, there is one more person."

The scepter is used to count by pinching the fingers.

As far as the eyes can see, the ocean is endless, the sky is cloudless, and there are no people to be seen.

Obviously, if you have to leave for something important, there is no need to use a travel symbol to hide it.

Besides, no matter what the matter is, we can't leave at this moment.

"The other person should be a disciple of our Daoyin Sect. I can guarantee it."

炑０出生 explained to 瓍显昗 in mid-air.

"There is another person who escaped. He is in the Qi Refining Stage. Who can explain this?"

Shi Xianyan spoke harshly and sternly.

"What direction!"

凩枟 flew up, stepped on the sword and stood up.

"The hexagram number 170 indicates that the three people in the northeast are uneasy, with yang energy hidden inside and gloomy outside. They are in a difficult situation, with twists and turns on the road, and they are afraid to walk." Shi Xianyan closed his eyes, stood on the sword, pinched his fingers, and quickly divined in his mind, explaining with a stern face; "I calculated that these three people used the top-grade magic talisman, and they are uneasy. At this time, they have escaped 2,000 miles away!"

"I'll go after him right away! I'll trouble you deacons to take care of the boat."

"You can't go!"

Meng Yi flew out from the crowd on his sword, interrupting the departure of Meng Yi. "Your chief deacon is gone, and you, the second deacon, cannot leave." He turned his head to look at Qing Qi who was following behind him. "Let's go after them." He then lowered his head to glance at the Sword Sect disciples on the deck and pointed to Le Xin. "Le Xin, you and Xi Yi lead the other disciples to assist the six major sects and maintain order on the boat. Wait for our Sect Master to come, and Qing Qi and I will go after them."

"Well, don't worry, two senior brothers!"

Le Xin and the young man beside her, Xi Yi, raised their hands to the sky and saluted.

-

"These thieves are talking like this. I wish I could stab the birds in their crotches with a hundred swords."

Bu Dazhen held the magic talisman in one hand and Lu Ming in the other, stepped on the flying sword, and flew quickly towards the northeast, close to the sea surface.

"Bai Zheng is a dog who is more trouble than help. He stole a fox demon and melted the center of the formation of Zhoucheng."

Ye Buwen also held the magic talisman in his hand and walked side by side with Bu Dazhen.

"Brother Ye, stop talking nonsense. Bai Zheng caused us a lot of trouble when he was working in the West Factory. It's not a pity that he died, but the six major sects want to search his soul. After searching his soul, they will know that you and I are from the lower world and have a large number of spirit stones. They will definitely investigate the reason. It will be difficult for us to survive in Cuiyun Fairyland in the future."

"Brother Bu, what do you mean?"

"There are no spiritual veins in the East and West Dynasties, the spiritual energy is thin, and immortals are forbidden to set foot in the territory. You and I have a low level of cultivation, and we have spiritual stones. Let's hide in the West Dynasty and make plans after we cultivate to the Golden Core Stage."

"I heard that if the Eastern and Western Dynasties found a cultivator, they would report him to the six major sects and send him back to Cuiyun Continent."

"So you and I must sneak over there, pretending to be mortals, so as not to be caught by the six major sects and have our souls searched." Bu Dazhen glared, his face livid; "That bitch who was ridden by a thousand men, pressed by tens of thousands, and invaded by random people, I will definitely kill that bastard when I have the chance."

"What about the child with earth and wood spiritual roots and Zhang Mingxuan?"

"I can't take care of it anymore, I'll find another opportunity."

After saying that, the two of them grabbed a dozen magical talismans in their hands again.

The magic travel talisman is a top-grade talisman, and the transfer talisman is a mid-grade talisman.

-

Taihe Palace, the sleeping palace.

"Sister Shi, there seems to be spiritual energy flowing out of this bedroom..."

Hua Yu squatted on the roof ridge, supporting her chin with her hands.

"Well, it should be that my husband's spirit gathering formation has taken effect."

Shi Manman sat next to Hua Yu, looking a little sleepy.

It was not because she was sleepy, but because she was forced by the cumbersome regulations of this empire.

"Sister Shi, when you came here, didn't you think about how to prove your identity?"

"I think I am an immortal and I have given my body to him. Can I lie about something like this?"

Shi Manman squinted her eyes. She had been chatting with Hua Yu for a whole day.

The only thing the two of them didn't talk about was the time they ate boogers when they were kids.

"But look at them. They just don't believe us."

Hua Yu pouted and looked up at the starry sky; "It's so difficult."

In the palace courtyard, a large number of soldiers began to change their posts.

-

Taihe Palace, outside Lihe Hall.

"Commander Dang, do the six ministries really want to have two queens at the same time?"

"Well, if you can convince those two rascals on the roof, I will make you a thousand households now."

Dang Nanzhi walked quickly towards the Taihe Palace.

"Two queens in the Celestial Empire, this is unheard of."

Behind him, Lao Shitou, dressed in the clothes of a hundred households and holding a thick stack of documents in his hands, was chasing Dang Nanzhi without stopping.

"This is a fucking harem matter. Let's just get them to sign. What's the point of caring about all that shit?"

-

Bureau of Attendants, Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Godfather, is this what the Six Departments agreed to?"

A young eunuch was kneeling beside Liu Zhong, massaging his legs.

"Then tell us what to do? Those two women are immortals. You saw it too. In the blink of an eye, the Wuying Palace was reduced to ashes."

Liu Zhong stroked his chest as if he was still frightened. "If Yulong hadn't insisted on saving face, there wouldn't have been so many problems."

-

Outside the palace wall.

"Go ahead and say it."

Dang Nanzhi kicked Lao Shitou on the butt.

"Commander, the officials of the previous dynasty all said that such a treaty would be tantamount to losing sovereignty and humiliating the country. I, Old Shitou, cannot afford to lose face."

Old Shitou was holding a stack of documents in his hands, looking embarrassed.

"Old Shitou, considering our long-standing friendship, I will speak frankly."

Dang Nanzhi grasped the sword at his waist and straightened his expression; "I can't afford to lose this person."

After saying this, he kicked Old Stone into the bedroom courtyard again.

"My two immortals, the six ministries of our dynasty, the Bureau of Attendants, the East and West Factories, and Yamato-ji Temple have already drafted the charter."

Old Stone staggered to the back of the soldier in the courtyard and held up a stack of documents in his hand. "If the two immortals agree to the above treaty, we will withdraw our troops immediately. At the same time, my Taicang Empire will recognize the two immortals as the Queen of Taicang."

"Wait a minute, is this embarrassing?"

Hua Yu still heard the whispers of the two people who came in.

"Forget it, Hua Yu, stop causing trouble."

Shi Manman stood up, floated in front of Lao Shitou, picked up a document and began to read it.

-

Xijun Demon Sea, interface wind belt.

"My dear Xuanlu, what do you think of my magic weapon?"

Qing Ling held a sparkling red umbrella in her hand, and flew quickly with Zhang Mingxuan on swords in the wind belt of the interface.

The ice knife in the interface storm fell onto the umbrella, breaking into bursts of water mist and dissipating.

The flying beast was under the feet of the two men.

"Brilliant."

The cold wind made Zhang Mingxuan feel cold all over. It was impossible for an ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivator to pass through the biting cold wind and fierce ice cones alone without a magic weapon.

He was thinking about how to trick this old monster into the underwater boat city, and then trick her into the teleportation array and send her back to the sky above the Dust Wind Sword Sect.

"My dear friend, where were we talking about just now?"

"Situ Wang used a series of tricks, and Grand Tutor Dong caused a commotion at Fengyi Pavilion."

"I didn't expect that after only a thousand years of not being in the mortal world, so many interesting things would happen."

Qing Ling was holding a red umbrella, with a pleasant smile on her face from beginning to end. She had dimples on her face and continued to ask Zhang Mingxuan with a smile, "That Dong Zhuo is really abominable. Keep telling me."

"The man who bumped into Dong Zhuo was Li Ru..."

Zhang Mingxuan's knowledge of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was only at the level of a TV drama, and his stories were half true and half false, but Qingling listened very seriously.

-

Thousands of miles behind the two of them, Ran Yun was also flying quickly on his sword. He took a jade slip in his hand, and the jade slip made a happy sound.

"Brother Ranyun, Hua Yu was chasing a bearded man in order to save a mortal man, and then disappeared in the attic of the Huangzi below Zhoucheng. I heard from the injured Li Xucheng that the bearded man was named Bu Dazhen."

Afterwards, Ranyun grabbed another jade slip in his hand, and the jade slip emitted the voice of Li Xucheng.

"Brother Ranyun, I tried my best, but Bu Dazhen still found a flaw and succeeded in making him escape. There is a trace of the thief's aura in the jade slip. You must avenge Sister Huayu."

Ran Yun tightly grasped the two jade slips in his hands, gnashing his teeth, and took out a sound transmission jade sword and said, "Master, I, the disciple Ran Yun, would like to borrow your fixed interest jade disc to find the villain who killed Sister Hua Yu. I hope Master can help me. There is the breath of that villain in the jade slip."

After saying this, the jade slip was thrown out.
