The Great Wei Dynasty, Dingzhou, Yongtong Commandery.
Twenty li from the prefectural city was a hunting ground with lush greenery. It was the fief of Marquis Wulong of the Wei Kingdom.
An elk was fleeing in panic within the underbrush. Dozens of cavalrymen in fresh clothes and furious horses were shouting and chasing it away. Among them, a young warrior rode forward, and in the blink of an eye, he was within thirty steps of the elk. With a shout, he suddenly drew his bow and nocked an arrow. The four-picul bow in his hand was easily drawn to a full moon.
With a hum, the bowstring twanged, and a sharp arrow flew out, striking the elk's abdomen. With a mournful cry, the enormous force instantly pierced through the elk's body.
When the surrounding cavalrymen saw this, they all cheered. Someone praised, "Young Marquis, your archery skills have improved considerably."
The young warrior who was addressed as' Young Marquis' had a straight nose, square cheeks, and thick eyebrows. In his hand was a golden lacquered bow, and beneath him was a spirited white horse. He looked extraordinarily valiant. Hearing the praises of the surrounding guards, apart from the slight excitement that had yet to fade from his face, there wasn't any trace of arrogance or haughtiness.
However, after killing this elk, he still felt somewhat unsatisfied. He squeezed the horse's abdomen, as if he wanted to rush deep into the mountains. A person who looked like a general hurriedly came forward to stop him, cupping his fists and saying, "Young Marquis, you cannot go any further." The young warrior frowned, and unhappily asked, "Why?"
The general said in a low voice, "I heard that there was a strange flash on the mountain the day before yesterday. I fear that something unclean has appeared. Young Marquis's body is priceless. How can you take such a risk? …
The young warrior laughed and raised his horsewhip, pointing at a young Daoist behind him who was dressed in an eight-trigram robe. He said, "We have Daoist Wang at our side. What is there to be afraid of? He is Immortal Master Bai Yue's disciple, and he is most proficient in capturing such monsters. "
The young Daoist chuckled upon hearing this. Although he tried his best to appear indifferent after being flattered by the young Marquis, he could not conceal the complacency in his eyes.
The guard still wanted to say something, but the sound of galloping horses came from afar. Another group of knights swept over like a gale, and before long, they had arrived.
However, this group of people were all women wearing bright red cloaks. The beautiful woman in the lead was dressed in a warrior's attire, full of heroic spirit. Riding on a horse, she imitated the men and carried a bow and a sword, showing a valiant posture.
When this beautiful woman appeared, the young Daoist's eyes lit up. His shifty eyes moved back and forth on her waist.
The young warrior said with a smile, "Why is the princess only here now? I've just hunted an elk. Now that the sky is darkening, you're about to lose. That mansion by the Luo River will eventually be mine. "
The woman gritted her teeth and said unwillingly, "Yue Shaoting, I don't believe I can't beat you!"
She turned her head and glared fiercely at the young Daoist. With a clear shout, she pulled the reins and turned the horse around. With a wave of her whip in the air, an explosive sound could be heard. The horse immediately let go of its hooves and galloped towards the forest ahead. The group of people behind her also followed.
After walking for a while, she could no longer see anyone behind her. Behind the princess, a female guard rode a horse and shouted, "Princess, just now the Daoist seemed to have bad intentions towards you. You must be careful of the evil techniques of the Miao people."
The woman said with disdain, "Not to mention that my fourth sister has the backing of the Northstar Immortal Sect, there's also an Immortal Master from the Qincang School. Who would be afraid of?"
She faintly knew that her fourth sister had asked for an Immortal Master a year ago. This person seemed to have some status in the lower house of the Qincang School. Normal cultivators didn't dare to provoke him. Even her brothers had changed their cold and distant attitude and became closer. That Daoist was just an unruly Daoist that Yue Shaoting found from who knows where. Why would she care?
While they were here searching for traces of prey, in another place, the young Marquis Yue Shaoting was a little worried. "Daoist Wang, could the princess have run into some demon? If something happens to her here, I won't be able to escape responsibility. "
The young Daoist patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, young Marquis. I've already cleansed all the living things within ten miles. I guarantee that the princess won't suffer any grievances."
Right at this moment, a bell on his waist suddenly rang. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Picking it up to take a look, he said, "Blood Qi is pure and thin. I'm afraid there are hunters in the mountains in the southeast.
Yue Shaoting sneered and said, "This is the hunting ground of my Marquis Wulong. How can we allow commoners to come here to hunt? To the left and right, I'll go forward and punish them. "
The young Daoist's eyes turned and he stretched out his hand to stop them. He shouted, "Slow down, young Marquis. My master has given us a new magical weapon. These people can be used as food for this magical weapon."
Yue Shaoting waved his hand and said straightforwardly, "Then let Daoist Wang do as you please."
The young Daoist thought, "Master doesn't allow me to use living people to refine this banner. I usually have to bear with it. This time, it's perfectly justifiable. Even if Master knew, he probably wouldn't say anything."
He reached into the bag under the saddle bridge and took out a small flag with a strange talisman drawn on it. He muttered an incantation and with a shake of his hand, the flag turned into a black gas and flew out.
In the blink of an eye, the black gas flew to the top of the hunters' heads. These people were all mortals, and they were chatting and laughing with each other. Before they could sense anything, the black gas shook in the air, and their souls were all taken away. They fell to the ground and died instantly.
The young Daoist said, "Just now, that Princess Qingyuan dared to look down on me. I heard that she has a direct disciple of the Beichen Sect behind her. I can't afford to offend her, but I can scare her a little and let her know my capabilities. The young Daoist didn't take back the banner. Instead, he mumbled something again. The black gas spun in the air and flew higher, as if it was searching for the princess.
At this moment, a streak of sharp light suddenly flew through the sky. It was only grazed by the scattered light, but the black Qi was torn to shreds. The streak of light didn't seem to feel anything, and its momentum didn't change as it disappeared in a flash.
The young Daoist spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from his horse. Everyone was shocked and quickly got off their horses to check. The young Daoist's face was pale as he shouted, "Someone broke my magic weapon, quick, burn the talisman in my waist pouch, let my master come and save me … …"
Zhang Yan was taking out his sword and raised his eyebrows slightly. He seemed to have brushed against something just now, but he didn't care. When he used his sword qi, one or two birds in the way couldn't dodge in time. It was a common thing.
After leaving the mountain gate, he headed northwest. This time, he was going to the Beichen Sect, Dan Yang Mountain.
When he opened his meridians, he had to find another Jade Elixir Essence Pool to hide the source of his meridians. With the help of Cao Ying, Princess Linya, he got the help of a disciple of the Beichen Sect named Yan Zhenhua. Later, this person kept in touch with him and occasionally invited Zhang Yan to be a guest. However, Zhang Yan was too busy cultivating and didn't have time to bother with him. At first, he wrote back himself, but later, he got Luo Xiao to write for him.
This time, he went out to collect the essences of the five qis to cultivate the Taixuan True Light. Secondly, he wanted to find what he needed to form his Golden Elixir.
Forming the Golden Elixir required six external items. The Xuanmen called it the Nine Medicines. This medicine was divided into three internal medicines, three external medicines, and three superior medicines. Other than the three superior medicines, which came naturally when refining the Golden Elixir, the three internal and three external medicines could be found by hand. However, these six medicines had complicated sources and were scattered all over the Donghua Continent.
Zhang Yan had been cultivating in Qincang School and knew very little about the recent happenings in the world of cultivation. It was not easy to find these things on his own.
This Yan Zhenhua was a smooth and slick person. He claimed to have made friends with many of his fellow Daoists. Presumably, he was also a well-informed person. Previously, this person had sent a letter saying that there was a birthday banquet for a relative in his clan. He had asked Zhang Yan to come and take this opportunity to visit and make friends with his fellow Daoists.
Just as he was flying, he saw a multi-colored cloud drifting over from afar. On it stood a tall and skinny old Daoist, who seemed to be anxious. When he saw Zhang Yanxiao's sword aura, he knew that he was a sword cultivator. He was startled and hurriedly stopped the cloud, giving way to Zhang Yanxiao.
Zhang Yan glanced at him and saw that this person was only at the second level of the Clear Qi Realm. He was only relying on the cloud-shaped artifact to fly in the air. Zhang Yan was too lazy to pay attention to him. He used Freedom Light and flew over.
Daoren wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said in shock, "This light is formed by sword qi. It must be a Mystic Light Realm cultivator, but I don't know which sword sect he is from. This kind of people are all arrogant. Daoren, I was just being respectful. If I was too impatient and got killed by him, there would be no way to explain …"
He shook his head. He was worried about his disciple and was about to use the cloud-shaped artifact under his feet. At this moment, he seemed to have sensed something and looked back. He couldn't help but be shocked. It was that Freedom Light flying back. He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Zhang Yan was halfway there when he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and put away the Freedom Light in front of Daoren. He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, I have something to ask."
Daoren hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "I don't dare. What does Senior want to ask? I will tell you everything I know. "
Zhang Yan said, "Does Fellow Daoist know where there is a flying boat celestial market nearby?"
Since he was visiting someone else's cave, he didn't want to leave empty-handed. He also wanted to go to the celestial market to buy some treasures as a gift.
Daoren was about to speak when a red light flew over from the sky and landed in front of the two. It was a graceful girl with ribbons floating around her body and a disc-shaped flying artifact. When this girl saw that Zhang Yan's appearance wasn't ordinary, she first gave him a flirtatious look before turning to Daoren and giggling, "Old geezer Luo, you really are here. Let's see where you can run to now. Why don't you quickly hand over the secret book you stole from my Agarwood Sect?"
Daoren's face twitched and he retorted, "That secret book belongs to the fated person. Why does it belong to your Agarwood Sect?"
The girl lightly waved her hand and the silver bracelet on her wrist rang. She had an indescribable charm about her. She smiled and said, "Wutong Mountain is under the jurisdiction of my Agarwood Sect. Since you obtained the secret book here, it might have been left behind by one of my elders. I won't make things difficult for you. Let me take a look at the secret book. If it really has nothing to do with my Agarwood Sect, I'll turn around and leave."
Zhang Yan wasn't in the mood to watch the two quarrel. He smiled and said, "You two can slowly discuss here. I'll take my leave."
The girl glared at him and shouted, "You're not allowed to leave!"
Zhang Yan ignored her and raised his sword. A sword aura as bright as the stars soared into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The girl's expression couldn't help but change.
At this time, dozens of different colored lights flew over from afar. This group of people were mostly women, dressed like this girl. It was clear that they were from the same sect. When Daoren saw this, his face turned ugly. He rolled his eyes and shouted, "Wife, the secret book has been taken by this Shaoqing Sect senior. Don't make things difficult for me. If you have the ability, go find the owner."
