Chapter 55: Foundation Building Monk
The woman in yellow nodded and said, "The master is outside the camp. We came in a hurry and don't know the direction of Senior Brother Lu and the others. Please ask Senior Brother Chen to go and explain the situation to the master."
After hearing this, Chen Ziyang immediately replied with a happy face: "I really didn't expect you to come so quickly. I hope you will forgive me for my negligence. Senior Sister Gao, let's go quickly and don't let Uncle Master Liu wait for a long time."
After that, Chen Ziyang raised his palms and made a gesture of invitation. The woman in yellow was not polite and walked in front of her with lotus steps. Chen Ziyang followed.
After the two walked out of the camp, they soon came to the woman in palace dress.
"Disciple Chen Ziyang, meet Uncle Master Liu."
Chen Ziyang looked at the woman in front of him who looked much younger than him. He didn't dare to be careless at all. He bowed his head respectfully and bowed.
He was 47 years old. Even if he was not very old among the Qi Refining cultivators, he looked middle-aged. It looked a bit weird to call a woman who looked more than ten years younger than him Uncle Master.
However, this is a very common thing in the world of immortal cultivation. In the world of immortal cultivation, the most accomplished ones come first. As long as there is no clear master-disciple relationship, even an old Qi-refining cultivator will respectfully call a foundation-building cultivator who is several decades younger than him "senior".
This Uncle Liu looks like she is eighteen or nineteen years old, but in fact she is older than Chen Ziyang.
In the world of immortal cultivation, most of the techniques practiced by female cultivators have the effect of keeping their youth. You can't tell the real age of these people just by looking at the surface.
After a Qi-refining cultivator breaks through to the foundation-building stage, he can wash his marrow and blood, and his life span will increase greatly, and he can also restore his appearance when he was young.
The woman in palace dress waved her hand at Chen Ziyang and said, "No need to be polite. Tell me first, where did Master Lu and his nephew go."
Chen Ziyang quickly got up and pointed out the direction where Lu Yunfei and his friends went in the morning.
Lu Yunfei and his companions had been gone for only over an hour. If the foundation-building cultivators were determined to hurry, they would be able to catch up with them in two quarters of an hour at most. The palace-dressed woman thought about it and decided to chase Lu Yunfei and his companions first, so as to avoid any unexpected situations.
"Okay, let's go over and take a look first. You should wait here for news."
After getting the exact location, the palace-dressed woman surnamed Liu raised her hand slightly, released a flying boat magic weapon, and took another woman behind her to jump on the flying boat. She then cast a spell on the yellow-dressed woman not far away. A breeze suddenly blew under the feet of the yellow-dressed woman, and soon she was also swept onto the flying boat.
The three of them stood on the flying boat, and it didn't seem crowded. With a flash of inspiration, the flying boat slowly floated to the sky and flew quickly in the direction pointed by Chen Ziyang.
Looking at the flying boat that slowly disappeared in front of his eyes, Chen Ziyang in the camp shook his head in envy, thinking to himself: "I really don't know when I can successfully build my foundation in this life, like these powerful foundation-building predecessors in the sect, riding a flying boat and soaring into the sky."
Xiaoyao Sect has more than ten thousand Qi Refining disciples like him, but only three hundred foundation-building cultivators. Among these Qi Refining cultivators, only a hundred or so can have the hope of building a foundation. Without outstanding talents or strong backing, Qi Refining disciples like Chen Ziyang, even if they can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining, can't accumulate much merit to exchange for foundation-building pills, and it is difficult to have the hope of building a foundation.
"Uncle Liu has passed, Brother Lu and the others will be safe this time." After sighing softly, Chen Ziyang slowly walked back to the camp.
——
In a cave filled with gusts of cold wind, Yang Wuqi stroked his beloved magic knife in his hand, looked at the trembling disciples below, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"You have been out for so long, have Liangshan and the others come back?"
A young man with several scars on his face hurriedly stepped forward and answered carefully: "Master, Second Senior Brother and the others have returned last night, and are now preparing for the blood sacrifice on the altar. Master, don't worry, Second Senior Brother and the others are lucky this time, and they have captured three more Qi Refining Monks. Your magic knife will surely be successfully refined soon."
"Haha, Liangshan and the others did a good job this time. After I refine the magic knife, I will definitely reward you well." After Yang Wuqi finished speaking, he looked at the magic knife in his hand and showed a strange smile.
He hid in the Floating Cloud Mountains for more than three years just to refine this magic weapon in his hand. Now this magic knife has absorbed the spirits of dozens of Qi Refining Monks, and it is not far from perfection.
As long as he successfully refines this magic weapon, with the help of this magic knife, plus his fifth-level foundation-building cultivation, in the future, as long as he does not encounter masters above the Jindan stage, there should be few foundation-building cultivators who can stop him, and he will no longer have to sneak around like before.
Yang Wuqi was originally from a small sect in Weiguo. After visiting a magic cave in his early years, he was lucky enough to get the inheritance of a complete Jindan magic cultivator. After comprehending this magic technique, he could not resist the temptation and switched to practicing magic techniques and became a magic cultivator.
After decades of hard practice, relying on several sneaky blood sacrifices, he not only successfully built his own foundation, but also spread this magic skill in the vicinity and accepted dozens of disciples.
At the beginning, Yang Wuqi acted very cautiously and did not dare to reveal his magic skills. He hid in Donglin County in the southern part of Weiguo for many years and was never discovered by other cultivators.
However, the skills practiced by magic cultivators are a bit too opportunistic. If they want to quickly improve their magic power, they often need some insidious bloody sacrifices. In order to speed up the practice of their skills, they will choose to sacrifice other low-level cultivators. Some magic cultivators will not even let go of ordinary mortals. For this reason, they are despised by the righteous cultivators in the entire cultivation world.
Five years ago, when one of Yang Wuqi's disciples provided him with the items needed for the blood sacrifice, he did not expect to be tracked down by a cultivator in Donglin County to his hiding place and accidentally discovered that they practiced magic skills.
Although he discovered and killed the cultivator in time, the cultivator happened to come from a foundation-building family in Gulong County, Donglin County. After a trace, they still exposed their whereabouts.
Afterwards, several major foundation-building families in Gulong County joined forces to raid their nest. Fortunately, Yang Wuqi received the news in advance and fled with some of his disciples in advance.
After Yang Wuqi fled Gulong County, they wandered around in various counties of Weiguo in the past few years, but failed to find a stable place to stay. They were almost tracked down by the cultivators sent by Xiaoyao Sect several times, and their lives were quite uncomfortable.
Three years ago, Yang Wuqi brought his disciples to the Floating Cloud Mountains and built a secret cave, and finally settled down.
This time, in order to search for a large number of cultivators' spirits to refine a magic weapon, he has continuously sent his disciples to help him capture lone cultivators in the Floating Cloud Mountains in the past two years, and has captured many unlucky cultivators near Guiyunfang.
Now, as long as this magic knife absorbs some more monks' spirits, it can be completely transformed into a magic weapon. The days of hiding from place to place in the past few years have not been in vain.
In recent years, they have been constantly arresting monks, which has also attracted the attention of Guiyunfang. However, their cave is built in an unexplored place in the Fuyun Mountains. In the past few years, the monks sent by Guiyunfang to track them down did not dare to come to such an unknown place, and they have never found any trace of them.
