Baizhen Mountain, inside the main hall at the peak of the mountain. The Mountain Lord, Deng Jing, sat on a futon. In front of him was an ancient alchemy cauldron. Inside the cauldron, the green flames were like condensed ice. However, a clear light was emitted from within.
At this moment, he was trying to refine a certain kind of pill. However, he seemed to have encountered some kind of obstacle here. Every time he thought for a while, he would send a ray of spiritual light into the cauldron. Then, he would grab a handful of external medicine and sprinkle it in.
After a long time, there had always been a burst of vitality in the cauldron. However, after he made this move, the vitality once again fell.
He shook his head, stood up, and paced two steps. He pondered, "What exactly is the difference?"
He thought deeply. Just as he was about to catch that faintly discernible wisp of inspiration, he was suddenly interrupted by an unexpected aura.
"Hmm?"
He looked up in displeasure, only to discover that an oval-shaped artifact had appeared in the sky above Baizhen Mountain. The sky immediately darkened, and the large and small stone pellets that were hovering outside also lost their luster. Then, a ray of light flashed, and a floating figure appeared in front of him.
It was not difficult for him to see that the other party had used some kind of artifact to bypass the restrictions outside and directly illuminate the figure of the Primordial Spirit into this Spiritual Realm.
This was undoubtedly a kind of deterrence.
He stood up from his seat and looked at the person who came. The white clothes on his body scattered, surging like thick clouds.
At this moment, the figure became slightly more solid. Looking at it, it was a graceful female Daoist. She cupped her hands and said, "Mountain Lord Deng, greetings."
Deng Jing frowned, "Qiao Xuan Zun?" His voice was slightly cold, "Do you know what kind of crime it is in Tianxia to barge into the Spiritual Realm for no reason?"
The female Daoist surnamed Qiao said in a gentle voice, "I've been impolite. Previously, I had sent many letters to Baizhen Mountain, but I never received a response. Thus, I came up with this plan. I hope Daoist does not blame me."
Deng Jing frowned, "Letter?"
The woman surnamed Qiao looked at him and asked, "Has Fellow Daoist never received a letter?"
Deng Jingyi changed his mind. Recently, he had been in seclusion refining pills. Everything was left to his disciple, Nie Xinying, to handle. This letter was naturally blocked by Nie Xinying.
He knew that something must be involved in this matter, and he felt helpless in his heart. This disciple of his was really too much. What kind of trouble could she not tell him, her master?
However, he still had to protect his disciple.
At this moment, he reached out with his mind and found the letter. After reading it, he frowned inwardly and raised his head to say, "I've already seen the letter. I've been busy these past few days, so I didn't have time to reply to Qiao Xuan Zun. What's wrong? Can't you wait?"
The woman surnamed Qiao said, "Fellow Daoist Deng, that disciple of yours was originally a disciple of my Yuandu Sect, but since you've accepted him as a direct disciple of Baizhen Mountain, my Yuandu Sect will not pursue this matter on account of the past friendship between our two sects.
However, that disciple of yours is contacting my sect's disciples, attempting to gather them together to resist my Yuandu Sect. I'll have to ask Fellow Daoist to discipline him a little. "
Deng Jingyi looked at her and sneered, "As long as he doesn't disobey Tianxia's laws, my disciple can do whatever he wants. When is it your sect's turn to order him around? Let's not talk about whether or not those disciples are your sect's people. Even if they are, you can't control them. What does that have to do with me? "
Although he spoke extremely impolitely, the woman surnamed Qiao didn't get angry. Instead, she used her usual calm tone and said, "My Yuandu Sect and Tianxia have already made an agreement. If Fellow Daoist Deng doesn't know the details, you might as well ask Xuanting.
I'll wait three days for Fellow Daoist Deng. If you don't reply after three days, I'll send a letter to Xuanting to question him. At that time, Fellow Daoist Deng shouldn't blame me for not taking into account our past friendship. "
When she finished speaking, she cupped her fists. Her figure turned into a flash of golden light and disappeared. That oval-shaped magic tool also disappeared at the same time. The sky brightened up again.
Seeing her leave, Deng Jingyi's impolite demeanor also disappeared. His expression became a little more solemn.
Previously, he had intentionally used words to provoke her. If she couldn't help but make a move against him, then this matter could be turned into a private conflict. There was no need to talk about the agreement.
However, she actually endured it. This undoubtedly showed her determination.
He walked a few steps in the hall and glanced up. His body flashed slightly, and a ray of light suddenly went up.
Not long after, that ray of light landed on his body again. He considered for a while, then said to the disciple on duty outside the hall, "Call Xinying over."
After a while, Nie Xinying came to the hall and bowed to him, "Disciple greets Master."
Deng Jingyi gestured, "Sit down and talk."
Nie Xinying didn't sit, and said, "There's no seat for disciple in front of Master. Is there something troubling Master? Can disciple share Master's worries? "
Deng Jingyi glanced at her, and said in a low voice, "Master has already read your letter."
Nie Xinying's expression was natural, and she said, "Disciple knew I couldn't hide it from Master."
Deng Jingyi was immediately helpless, and said, "Leaving a letter is nothing. Summoning your former fellow disciples is nothing. If Master was in your position, I would do the same. The most important thing in this world is friendship. How can a heartless person remain in this world?"
At this point, his expression became a little more serious, "But this time, I'm afraid I can't let you continue."
Nie Xinying said seriously, "Master must have a reason for saying this. Disciple won't make things difficult for Master." She knew that her Master was never someone who was afraid of trouble. There must be a bigger matter behind this, which was why he said this.
Deng Jingyi said, "The Yuandu Sect had an agreement with Tianxia back then. As a guardian, Master can't give the Yuandu Sect an excuse at this crucial time. However, although Master can't appear this time, if your former fellow disciples who have already arrived stay in Yujing and don't leave, then nothing will happen for the time being. "
Nie Xinying understood the meaning of this. As long as they didn't leave Yujing, then even if they weren't at Baizhen Mountain, they could avoid this matter. However, this way, the other fellow disciples wouldn't be able to protect them.
She said, "Master, what's the agreement about?"
Deng Jing shook his head and said, "I can't reveal it to you. Besides, I'm not a Tingzhi, so I don't know the details. But there is one thing." He slowed down and said, "I can protect you because I'm your teacher. So, it's reasonable and reasonable for me to do so. Do you understand?"
Nie Xinying's eyes lit up. She bowed, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Master."
Deng Jingyi lowered his head, and said, "You still have three days. As long as you don't violate Tianxia's laws, you can do whatever you want. As for the rest, Master will take care of it from behind. "
Nie Xinying bowed again, and left the palace. After coming down from the mountain peak, she returned to the Cultivation Pavilion. She immediately sent someone to find Tao Dingfu and Jiang Xun, and said, "Senior Brothers, the situation has changed." She then told them the situation she heard from Deng Jingyi.
Jiang Xun originally thought that as long as the Yujing region was here, he could make the sect somewhat fearful. Then, he could rely on this to contact the other fellow disciples and gather strength.
However, he didn't expect the sect to be so powerful that even the leader of Baizhen Mountain couldn't interfere in this matter.
His expression was solemn, and he said, "We can't ignore our fellow disciples."
If those fellow disciples were willing to return to the sect, he wouldn't stop them. However, he was sure that none of the fellow disciples he knew were willing to go back to the sect.
Nie Xinying also said with certainty, "Of course we can't. Fortunately, there's still a chance. According to my master's hint, he can protect me because we have a master-disciple relationship. However, he can't protect the other fellow disciples because they have no relationship with my master. It's not good for him to interfere."
She smiled slightly, and said, "So, as long as we find a Xuan Zun who is nominally related to all of the fellow disciples, then we can justifiably protect everyone."
Jiang Xun was surprised, and said, "Junior Sister, are you talking about Master Xun?"
He thought for a moment, and shook his head, and said, "That's not right. Master Xun said that we are no longer his students, and we can't use his name to do things. If we find Master Xun, won't that be admitting that we are disciples of the sect?"
Nie Xinying pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, I'm afraid you don't know that one of our fellow disciples has already become a Xuan Zun, and has a certain reputation in Xuanting."
"Xuan Zun?"
Jiang Xun's heart shook, and at the same time, he was greatly excited. He couldn't help but sit up straight, and hurriedly asked, "May I know which senior brother it is?"
Nie Xinying and Tao Dingfu looked at each other, and both of them smiled. Nie Xinying slowed down and said in a clear voice, "This isn't a senior brother, but a junior brother that Master took in back then. However, Senior Brother Jiang had already left at that time, so you haven't met him."
"Junior brother?"
Jiang Xun was even more shocked. He asked about Zhang Yu again, and couldn't help but be shocked. Becoming a Xuan Zun before the age of thirty? What kind of genius was this?
He couldn't help but ask, "This Zhang, this Xuan Zun is so amazing, why didn't Master Xun take him in as a disciple that day?"
He didn't know Zhang Yu, and there wasn't any camaraderie between them, so it wasn't appropriate for him to follow Tao Dingfu and Nie Xinying to call Zhang Yu junior brother.
Tao Dingfu said, "Master once said that although Junior Brother Zhang had the aptitude, he didn't have the True Method. Therefore, Junior Brother Zhang went to cultivate the Xuan Method, and he finally reached the Upper Realm with the Xuan Method."
Jiang Xun couldn't help but come to a sudden understanding. Only now did he understand why Zhang Yu's cultivation was so fast. It was because the most talented profounders, such as those whose Divine Energy was full, could theoretically enter the upper realm in a single night if all the conditions were met.
Although this Junior Brother Zhang wasn't so exaggerated, he was still very amazing. It was very likely that he was one of those people who was born with full Divine Vitality.
He asked again, "Junior Brother Zhang, are you willing to help us?"
Tao Dingfu said, "Not long ago, Junior Brother Zhang said that if it involves our fellow disciples, we can go to him."
Nie Xinying said, "It's just that Junior Brother Zhang is in Dongting, and we only have three days, so we have to get in touch with our fellow disciples as soon as possible."
Jiang Xun nodded, and his eyes lit up. He said excitedly, "Although the time is a little short, and if it were us, we might not be able to do this, but now there's a powerful Xuanting person who established the Xuntian Dao Zhang. We can try to find him!"
