On the coast of the East Sea in the Donghua Continent, a beam of light came from the east and landed on the land, startling a large flock of birds.
The fireworks-like light flashed for a moment before slowly dissipating. Yuan JIngqing walked out from within.
"So this is the Donghua Continent?"
He looked around. Under the moonlight, the distant seawater glowed with silver light. The sound of the waves crashing could be heard clearly, and the silhouettes of many mountains could be seen in the distance.
When he was in the Donglai Continent, he obtained the Xuan Seed left behind by Zhang Yan in the Qinghe Monastery and used it to cultivate into the Mystic Light Realm. Now, he was already at the third level. However, because he could not find the external elixir recorded in the Daoist book, he had to come to this continent if he wanted to travel further.
He stopped where he was and breathed in and out. He felt that the spiritual opportunity was steaming and extremely strong, much stronger than the weak Qi in Donglai. In just a few breaths, he felt his whole body relaxed and wanted to roar. It made him want to immediately sit down and cultivate.
However, he resisted in the end. Although Zhang Yan only left a few words about the Donghua Continent, he understood that this place was not like Donglai. Not only were the demons more powerful, but there were also Devil Doctrine cultivators with strange and unpredictable methods. His cultivation was actually nothing. Just Now, if someone noticed the commotion when he landed, they would most likely come to check. It was better for him to leave this place first.
He decided not to go deep into the continent. Instead, he went in the opposite direction and headed toward the sea.
Firstly, there were few cultivators on the sea, and there was no Devil Doctrine there. Secondly, even if someone came, they would not expect him to do this.
He immediately leaped up, but he did not create a conveyance light. Instead, he created a breeze and flew away like a bird. After about a thousand miles, he saw an uninhabited island. He landed and rode on the conveyance light. Not long after, he carved out a spacious cave on a rock wall.
He slowly walked in and sat down cross-legged, preparing to cultivate for a period of time. Then, he would go out and find the cultivators here to understand the situation in the continent. Then, he would head north to Qincang to find the way.
After cultivating here for five days, he finally came out of meditation. At this moment, he felt full of energy and Qi. It was also extremely comfortable. It was obvious that this place was filled with spiritual opportunity.
After putting away the technique, he walked out of the cave. However, as soon as he stepped outside, his expression turned serious. About a thousand feet away, there was a flying boat with a man and a woman standing on it.
The man had a refined appearance and was dressed in a dark purple robe. The woman was dressed in a white muslin and had an alluring appearance. However, the astral winds that were swirling around the two seemed to be stirring up the island at any time. However, the two of them didn't seem to have any enmity. The man stepped forward slightly. Smiling kindly at him, he cupped his hands and said, "Are you Junior Brother Yuan JIngqing?"
When Yuan JIngqing heard him calling his name, his expression changed slightly. He raised his hand and saluted: "Yes, I am. May I know who you are?"
The cultivator said with a smile, "I'm your Fifth Martial Brother, Jiang Zheng. My teacher sensed that you used a talisman to come to the Donghua Continent, so he sent a message. He then pointed at the female cultivator beside him. "This is your martial sister-in-law, Dan Huizhen."
Dan Huizhen smiled. She bowed on the cloud.
Yuan JIngqing immediately saluted and said solemnly, "So it's senior brother and martial sister-in-law. Please accept my bow."
His father, Qin Yuan Zhenping, was a military officer of the Royal Court. Although he entered Daoism, he couldn't stay away from the world. The people he befriended were either the children of officials or members of the royal family. He had a noble air about him. Facing his senior brother and martial sister-in-law whose cultivation level was far higher than his, he was neither servile nor overbearing.
Jiang Zheng nodded subconsciously.
Yuan JIngqing asked: "Senior brother, how did you find me?"
Jiang Zheng said: "Pengyuan Sect, where Huizhen is from, is the master of the sea realm here. To guard against the cultivators of the demonic sect, there is a water tribe monitoring the sea area, so it wasn't difficult to find you."
Yuan JIngqing thought for a while and said: "Senior brother knew I was here five days ago?"
Dan Huizhen smiled and said: "Your senior brother found me then. Seeing that you were meditating, I didn't disturb you and stayed here to protect you for five days."
Yuan JIngqing was moved. He bowed and said: "Thank you for waiting for me, senior brother and martial sister-in-law. It's my fault."
Jiang Zheng shook his head and said: "We are all disciples of the teacher, so we should take care of each other. Junior brother, you don't have to be so polite."
He thought about his words and said: "Junior brother Yuan, this is your first time in the East Continent, so you might not know the current situation. Now that the demonic and mystic sects have stopped fighting, the world is temporarily at peace, but there are still many enemies in the sect. If you cultivate outside in the future, you must be careful. It's best to take precautions."
Yuan JIngqing said seriously: "I understand."
Jiang Zheng smiled and said: "This is not a good place to talk. I have already arranged a banquet in the sect to welcome you. Junior brother, are you willing to come?"
Yuan JIngqing happily agreed. He had just arrived in Dong Hua, and there were many things he did not know. It was a good opportunity to find out more.
Jiang Zheng and his wife invited him onto the flying boat, and the three of them returned to the sect. When they arrived at Pengyuan Sect, the two of them arranged a banquet and treated them well. During the banquet, the two of them answered all the questions that Yuan JIngqing asked. After the banquet, Yuan JIngqing already had a general understanding of the situation in the sect and the Donghua Continent.
After the banquet, Jiang Zheng called Yuan JIngqing over and said: "Junior brother Yuan, Master wants you to stay at my place for a period of time. After you form your Elixir, you can go to the sect to cultivate. What do you think, junior brother? "
Yuan JIngqing thought for a while and said: "I heard senior brother say Just Now, if the disciples of the Qincang sect encounter Elixir Formation, they need to go out and search for external medicine to train their Taoist hearts?"
Jiang Zheng looked at him and said: "Junior brother, do you also want to take this path?
Yuan JIngqing nodded.
Jiang Zheng patted his shoulder and said: "Since you have made up your mind, I will stop you. However, the continent is different from the past. Other than the demonic cultivators, Yuxiao and the other sects are not on good terms with me. You cannot be careless."
Yuan JIngqing said: "I am just a Xuan Light Realm cultivator, and no one in the sect knows where I come from. If I am careful, I will be fine."
Jiang Zheng said with a smile, "You're right, but there's no need to be too cautious. If you encounter a person that bullies the weak and you can't resist, you can speak of your origins. There aren't many people in the world that would dare make a move against the disciples of Master."
When Yuan JIngqing heard this Just Now, it was not hard for him to imagine how powerful his master was, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Jiang Zheng said: "Since you are going to travel outside, you must have something to protect yourself. You can tell me what you need."
Yuan JIngqing thought for a while and said: "May I ask senior brother if there is a furnace in Pengyuan Sect?"
Jiang Zheng said: "Of course there is."
He took out a Jade Talisman and placed it in Yuan JIngqing's hand. He said: "If junior brother needs it, just use this talisman and someone will guide you to this place. As for the materials you need, just tell them and someone will prepare them for you."
Yuan JIngqing thanked him and took it. He cultivated the [Primal Day Divine Cave Spirit Scripture] of the five techniques and three scriptures. However, the flying shuttle he was using now was made by him using the essence of metal and stone as recorded in the scripture.
This was not easy. Even the furnace was made by thousands of people. Just Now, there were nine of them, but the day they were completed, the furnace collapsed and only one was left in his hand.
There were many techniques in the scripture that required several spirit shuttles to be used. Since he was already here, he had to make a few more so that he could face his enemies when he went out.
For the next few days, Jiang Zheng hid in the furnace and made the spirit shuttles. It took him six months and Just Now, he made six spirit shuttles. He focused on seeking Dao and when the treasure was completed, he went to Jiang Zheng and his wife to bid farewell.
Jiang Zheng took out a two feet long jade box and said: "Junior brother, since you are going out to travel, as your senior brother, I don't have anything good to give you. There is a set of formation flags here. If it is inconvenient to use it in the wilderness, you can place it around the cave to defend against enemies."
Yuan JIngqing took it and cupped his hands together: "Thank you, senior brother, I am ashamed to accept it."
Dan Huizhen smiled: "Junior brother, you can't travel without treasures. As your senior sister-in-law, I will also give you a treasure."
She took out a pearl the size of a goose egg from her pouch. It shone brightly and one could tell that it was not an ordinary item.
Yuan JIngqing looked at it. Seeing Jiang Zheng nodding at him, he knew that the two of them meant well, so he accepted it. Then, he bowed deeply to the two of them and flew away, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
Dan Huizhen rebuked, "How can you be so disrespectful to Junior Martial Brother Yuan? We've only been here for a few days and haven't even spoken much to each other before you send him away. Has he offended you in any way?"
Jiang Zheng laughed: "How can there be such a thing? I see that this junior brother is a very opinionated person. If I make decisions for him, it will not be good."
He had been in the mortal world for many years. Just by looking at Yuan JIngqing's expression and behavior, he knew that although this junior brother talked and laughed harmoniously with others on the surface, he was actually proud and aloof inside. This kind of person did not like others to make arrangements for him.
However, Dan Huizhen shook her head and secretly made up her mind to take care of him more.
Although Yuan JIngqing's cultivation was not high, he was still Zhang Yan's disciple after all. Who would dare to look down on him? If he went back and said that Pengyuan Sect did not take good care of him, in order to avoid hurting the friendship between them, he naturally would not say anything. In the end, the blame would most likely fall on her.
At this moment, a disciple came to report: "Sect Leader, Spiritual Master Jiang, someone from Taihao School came to report that they have agreed to find Zhang Shan next month to fight."
Dan Huizhen waved her hand and said: "Got it, you can leave now.
Jiang Zheng said in a deep voice: "Taihao School did not reject. If this matter goes smoothly, your Pengyuan Sect's old mountain gate can be taken back."
Pengyuan Sect's mountain gate was originally on land, but under the invasion of Taihao School, they had no choice but to move to the sea. Even so, because they were afraid of the sect's cultivation technique, they still frequently used methods in the dark to suppress them.
Until Pengyuan Sect had the support of Zhao You Sect behind them, both sides were stable.
However, after a while, they had become enemies. The day before yesterday, Jiang Zheng received Zhang Yan's instructions to think of a way to take back Pengyuan Sect's old mountain gate, which was why they issued the challenge letter.
Dan Huizhen said with some worry: "If Taihao School does not follow the rules, the person who will fight will most likely be a third stage realm cultivator. Does husband really have the confidence to win against him?"
Jiang Zheng said: "If I don't do this, how can I lure him to fight? Wife can rest assured, your husband's communication with the Sky Palace has become smoother and smoother. It is no longer comparable to the past. With the treasures bestowed by my benefactor, I am not afraid of the Heaven and Earth Seal."
