Chapter 8 Zhang Tianyuan is dead

After reaching the Qi refining stage, Zhu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. After lighting an incense candle in the cave, he began to read the Sword Control Technique.

But something strange is that whenever Zhu Yun starts practicing swordsmanship, the gold spiritual power in Dantian becomes particularly active.

"It should be because this golden sword is made of metal, right?"

Zhu Yunru thought, but he didn't care too much.

The first move of the Sword Control Technique is called outward release of sword energy.

It is to drive the spiritual power in the body, condense it into sword energy on the tip of the sword, and then release it to attack the enemy.

The higher the realm, the greater the power of this sword energy, and the farther away it can attack.

Zhu Yun practiced repeatedly until all the spiritual power in his body was exhausted, then he sat down and absorbed and refined the spiritual power.

For several days in a row, he took Bigu Pill when he was hungry, and drank some water from the canal when he was thirsty.

When the incense candle burned out, I lit another one.

Until fifty days passed.

Zhu Yun released his sword energy with this move, and he was already very good at it.

But due to Zhu Yun's realm, the sword energy didn't shoot very far. As for the power...

He practiced his sword against the stone wall of the cave for several days without leaving a single sword mark.

Fortunately, Zhu Yun knew what he was doing and knew that participating in the sect competition was a good thing.

As long as I can see my childhood friends.

There are fifty days inside the mirror and ten days outside.

Zhu Yun counted the days. In three days, it will be the first day of the new year.

Thinking that the master was coming back soon, he returned to the valley with the golden sword.

Standing in front of the mist formation, Zhu Yun suddenly felt like a dream.

After practicing for nearly a hundred days, he finally gained something.

Just at this moment, a voice came from outside the fog formation, interrupting Zhu Yun's thoughts.

"Fifth Junior Brother, are you here?"

The voice was a little urgent, and after it came in, it continued to echo in the valley.

Qin Licheng was the only one who called him fifth junior brother. What was he doing here?

Zhu Yun was stunned for a moment, then dodged into the mist formation.

A moment later, he stood in front of Qin Licheng.

"I've met Senior Brother Li Cheng!"

Zhu Yun cupped his hands, bowed slightly, and said, "I wonder why senior brother came here for you?"

Qin Licheng was a little surprised. In just half a month, Zhu Yun looked completely different.

I saw that his eyes were clear and bright, and there was a slight flow of spiritual power all over his body.

Is this... reaching the Qi refining stage?

The more he looked, the more shocked he became, and he suddenly forgot the reason for coming here.

"Senior brother?"

Zhu Yun was secretly amused. Qin Licheng must have seen that he was successful in cultivation, so he reacted like this.

"Ah," Qin Licheng quickly came to his senses, took out a storage bag from his arms and stuffed it into Zhu Yun's hand. At the same time, he said in a serious tone: "Fifth Junior Brother, this is what Senior Brother Zhang left for you."

"Senior Brother Zhang? Zhang Tianyuan?"

Zhu Yun was surprised.

At that time, Zhang Tianyuan took a bottle of wine from his master and then left without paying any attention to him, which made him feel sad for a while.

"That's right," Qin Licheng sighed and said, "Senior Brother Zhang learned that you wanted to participate in the sect competition, but also knew that your five spiritual roots were difficult to cultivate, so he went out to hunt for treasures..."

Zhu Yun was a little confused, "Senior Brother Li Cheng, why didn't Senior Brother Zhang come over in person?"

"Fifth Junior Brother, Senior Brother Zhang...can't make it through!"

Qin Licheng said in a trembling voice: "Senior Brother Zhang has died..."

"What?"

Zhu Yun was shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Qin Licheng then told everything that happened after Zhu Yun asked the Great Harmony Hall.

It turned out that Zhang Tianyuan knew that he felt sorry for Zhu Yun, so he went out to hunt for treasures so that Zhu Yun could have more tricks during the sect competition.

It turned out that the journey was going smoothly, but he also met a few casual cultivators at the foot of the mountain who were also looking for treasures, and they immediately hit it off and stayed with them.

Zhang Tianyuan did not talk about the treasure hunting process.

They had gained something. Today, they returned to the town at the foot of the mountain and planned to go their separate ways.

But Zhang Tianyuan was a generous man, and he found the treasure again, so he said he would have a dinner.

During the dinner, Zhang Tianyuan naturally wanted to drink to cheer up.

However, it was the wine that caused trouble!

This wine is a spiritual wine made by Uncle Seventh Master's secret method. Although it is not a good thing, it is still a rare treasure for casual cultivators!

Immediately, the few casual cultivators asked Zhang Tianyuan for a drink, and Zhang Tianyuan was a little reluctant to give up.

Several casual cultivators just kept doing nothing and had murderous intentions towards Zhang Tianyuan!

Zhang Tianyuan was unable to defeat four hands with his two fists, and he was reluctant to take out the good wine. In the end, the wine was lost and he was seriously injured.

When he returned to the sect, his Dantian was completely destroyed and his energy was like a gossamer.

Qin Licheng saw him anyway, so Zhang Tianyuan handed his storage bag to Qin Licheng and told him to pass it to Zhu Yun no matter what.

Qin Licheng agreed with tears, and Zhang Tianyuan breathed his last.

After hastily burying Zhang Tianyuan, Qin Licheng rushed over immediately.

"Senior Brother Licheng...how could those casual cultivators...kill Senior Brother Zhang for a jug of wine?"

Zhu Yun couldn't believe it, as if he was asking Qin Licheng, or mumbling to himself.

Qin Licheng wiped the corners of his eyes and said in a sad tone: "Fifth Junior Brother, you don't know... The world of immortal cultivation is actually a place where individuals eat people! Ordinary people call us immortal masters, but when we meet powerful people, it is nothing more than Mortals in their eyes... So we always want to become stronger. Those casual cultivators have no sect backing, so they can only take things by force..."

"And Uncle Seventh Master's wine is helpful for cultivation, so it will naturally be regarded as a rare spiritual item by them..."

Zhu Yun was touched.

He has five spiritual roots, and it is impossible for him to cultivate immortality with anyone he meets.

Without Zhang Tianyuan, how could he be where he is now?

And Zhang Tianyuan even lost his life in order to hunt for him treasure!

Although it was just a pot of wine, if Zhang Tianyuan ignored him in Huangshi Mountain...

He will not suffer this disaster!

"Senior Brother Licheng, do you know the origins of those rogue cultivators... Also, will the sect help Senior Brother Zhang take revenge?"

Zhu Yun raised his head, his eyes were red and he was choking.

"I don't know," Qin Licheng shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Zhang died after explaining the matter... In addition, we are just minor Qi practitioners, and the sect does not care whether we live or die..."

Speaking of this, Qin Licheng smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "If we are talented in cultivation, should we do some sect chores in exchange for cultivation resources?"

"But you said... Big Dog and Ergou and the others..."

Zhu Yun didn't understand. He had obviously joined the sect, but why didn't the sect protect him?

Not even caring about death?

"Sigh... One of them has two spiritual roots, and the other has three spiritual roots. They have different talents and different treatment... Why do I say that you can't see them anymore... Because they only need to practice!"

Zhu Yun understands, to put it bluntly, it is profit!

Among the sects, interests are also important!

He thought again of Elder Mu's disdainful eyes and what he said about the self-sufficiency here.

It turns out that cultivating immortals is no different from ordinary people!

No, it should be more cruel than ordinary people.

As long as ordinary people work contentedly, they can naturally make a living.

But in the world of immortality, if a pot of wine can arouse murderous intentions, even the Lingjian Sect will not stand up for the dead Zhang Tianyuan!

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Zhu Yun lost his mood for a while and thanked Qin Licheng.

"It's okay." Qin Licheng didn't say anything, just patted Zhu Yun on the shoulder, turned and left.

Just as he turned around, he ran into Sun Xuanhua, who had a dusty face.

"Licheng, why are you here?"

Sun Xuanhua glanced at him and then saw Zhu Yun. He was surprised when he noticed that the spiritual power was flowing in him!

"Uncle Seventh, disciple, come here and hand over Senior Brother Zhang's relics to Junior Brother Zhu!"

In front of Sun Xuanhua, he did not dare to call him Fifth Junior Brother.

"Zhang Tianyuan is dead?"

Sun Xuanhua's face showed no other expression except curiosity, which made Zhu Yun next to him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Master, Senior Brother Zhang died because of the wine you gave him."

Sun Xuanhua suddenly straightened his face and said coldly to Zhu Yun: "Why, Zhang Tianyuan himself is not very strong, how can you still blame me? Or... do you think that you can give him a gift after you have reached the Qi refining stage? Zhang Tianyuan takes revenge?”
