Chapter 491 Ten Years

The air in the south is humid, with white fog and frost often forming in the morning, and drizzle falling.

The Ding family is a small family in the Nanshan Mountain of Tianchong Mountain. It is said that their ancestors were once registered disciples of a certain sect. After cultivating immortality, they founded the Ding Family Village. From then on, the Ding family became quite famous in the surrounding area. .

However, the years are like this, and the wind and frost are cruel. Hundreds of years have passed, and the talents of the Ding family have withered. Since that ancestor, few disciples have spiritual roots, let alone anyone who can join a large sect to practice immortality. Over time, the talents of the Ding family have been exhausted. , now it has been many years since there has been an immortal cultivator, and the momentum is no longer what it used to be.

However, there is a city of immortal cultivation nearby, called Hanyue City. Every three years, the immortal cultivation sects will jointly hold an immortal meeting here.

As the name of the Immortal Fate Society implies, various immortal cultivating sects select people with spiritual roots among mortals to be their disciples, and teach them the skills and Taoism, allowing them to enter the sect for practice. This is very useful for some small families or low-level casual cultivators. It's all a chance.

In the blink of an eye, the time for the three-year Immortal Fate Meeting has arrived again. At this time, Ding Jin, the head of the Ding family, is leading the tribe to Hanyue City, hoping that the younger members of the clan will be selected by the Immortal Family. From then on, the Ding family will also be able to prosper.

Ding Jin has a rugged face and is nearly fifty years old. He rides a horse, wears a golden-scaled iron armor on his upper body, and carries a three-foot short spear on his back. From a distance, he looks very powerful.

Although this man has no spiritual roots, his martial arts are extraordinary and he is considered a respected figure in the nearby arena. Because of his support, the Ding family will not decline.

Next to Ding Jin are his children, about sixteen or seventeen years old, in their prime.

The girl was born extremely beautiful, wearing a plain skirt with flowing water like blue waves, and three thousand green silk threads dancing in the wind, just like a green lotus emerging from the dust, ethereal and beautiful.

The man is handsome in appearance. Although he is young, he has a bit of Ding Jin's prowess. At first glance, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child.

Behind the three people were a group of servants, carrying some gold and silver items.

It seems that the Ding family and his entourage are all mortals, but the items being escorted are very expensive, and some of them are even items used by immortal cultivators in the past.

"Father, this time Hanyue City holds the Immortal Fate Meeting, will the Qingshan Sect also come to select disciples?"

After walking on the official road for a long time, the handsome young man asked excitedly, and his tone sounded like he was yearning for the immortal sect called "Qingshan Sect".

"It's natural. My father has already inquired about it. In the past, Qingshan did not often participate in the Immortal Fate Association, but this year it has recruited many disciples. Jiyuan and Luqing, you two have just turned sixteen this year, which is exactly in line with the requirements of each sect for selecting disciples. Standard, if you can detect the spiritual root and immortality, you can bring glory to our Ding family and restore the reputation of our ancestors. "

Ding Jin has a short beard at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes reveal his love and expectation for this son and daughter.

"Father, don't worry, my brother and I will work hard to join the Immortal Cultivation Sect and make you proud." The girl named Lu Qing said with a smile.

Jiyuan also nodded heavily, with determination on his face.

Looking at his children, Ding Jin felt a little relieved.

After a moment of silence, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression darkened, and he said: "My Ding family was originally a family of immortal cultivators, but unfortunately it has gradually declined over the past hundreds of years. As a father, I will never let the family be destroyed in my hands."

Jiyuan looked at his father and said: "Father, don't worry. I heard that even if the spiritual root is not detected at the Immortal Fate Meeting, as long as the tributes brought by the family can make the major sects fancy, there will be a chance to be included in the Immortal Sect. Even if I and I Even if Lu Qing doesn’t have spiritual roots, he still has a chance to become a disciple of the sect.”

"Yes, that's why I have been trying my best to collect tributes over the past few years, hoping to be selected by various factions. This time, no matter what, I want you to cultivate immortality." Ding Jin nodded.

At this point, he looked back and told Jiyuan and Lu Qing: "You must be careful. In the past, countless families in the Xianyuan Society were robbed of their tributes on the way. These materials are for our tribute, and they must not be used." Any mistakes."

Lu Qing solemnly said yes, but Ji Yuan seemed to disagree.

He looked at a two-horse chariot in the fleet. This chariot was made of sandalwood, with a layer of brocade on the top, and sandalwood scent inside. It looked like it was prepared for wealthy people to travel.

It stands to reason that for such a luxurious chariot, the person most qualified to ride in the entire convoy is Ding Jin. However, at this time, Ding Jin was riding alone and was clearly leading the way. People couldn't help but wonder who was in this chariot.

Jiyuan took a look at the chariot and chuckled: "I think you are overly worried, father. Our Ding family has an immortal master to protect us during this trip, and ordinary thieves will not dare to make trouble."

"I'm just afraid that the person who comes here is not an ordinary little thief, so it's better to be more cautious." Ding Jin's face darkened and he said: "You are a child who is sharp but not careful. If you walk alone in the future, you need to restrain your temper, otherwise sooner or later It’s going to be a big loss.”

Jiyuan curled his lips, obviously dissatisfied, but his father did not allow him to refute, so he nodded in agreement. This aggrieved look made the girl next to him laugh.

Ding Jin shook his head, sighed softly, and then looked back at the luxurious chariot, with a vague look in his eyes.

At this moment, the girl next to him asked doubtfully: "Father, speaking of this, this immortal master has been keeping quiet since he agreed to be our offering, and he looked very scary when we met him that day. Yes, will this..."

"Shut up!"

Before the girl finished speaking, Ding Jin suddenly shouted angrily, scaring her so much that she hurriedly swallowed the rest of her words.

"The Immortal Master is a master of Taoism. How can I allow you to discuss it in private? If what you said just now reaches the ears of the Immortal Master, we will have violated a big taboo!"

Ding Jin looked frightened and reprimanded his daughter coldly: "People who cultivate immortals have great supernatural powers. Even if they behave a little weird, there is nothing surprising. It is our Ding family's blessing that the immortal master can agree to escort us. We must not be arrogant." Speculations on immortality, do you understand?”

The girl shrank her neck and quickly said yes.

Jiyuan was also frightened by his father's majestic look, and immediately fell silent.

But after Ding Jin reprimanded him, he looked back at the chariot with a nervous face, and after confirming that there was indeed no movement in it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked relaxed on the surface, but he was actually breaking out in a cold sweat.

After giving serious warnings to his two children, Ding Jin couldn't help but recall an adventure a few days ago, feeling secretly sad in his heart.

It was the second day after they packed up their supplies and left Dingjiazhuang. At that time, they were traveling to a wilderness jungle. Ding Jin thought that everyone was tired from walking, so he ordered people to stop in and rest.

But he didn't expect that just as the motorcade stopped, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the forest. Ding Jin went to investigate in surprise, but was really shocked by what he saw in front of him.

In front of him was a ball of red and white alternating fire, which looked extremely strange. What surprised him even more was that a human figure was wrapped in the fire curtain.

This person's breath was sharp, with an astonishing amount of oppression every time he breathed in or out.

Ding Jin was very surprised when he saw this, but he was also a very discerning person. Judging from the aura of the other party, he was obviously a cultivator of immortality. He wanted to be polite and then excused himself to avoid it. After all, the other party's intentions were not yet known, and they and their group were They brought a lot of precious treasures with them. If the other party had the intention of looting, they would suffer for nothing.

But what he didn't expect was that after he bumped into him, this person didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards them, and even asked him about news about the nearby world of immortal cultivation.

Ding Jin didn't dare to go against the rules and hurriedly reported the situation of all the immortal cultivating sects within hundreds of miles.

After hearing this, the other party not only had no intention of staying, but calmly let them go.

When Ding Jin saw that this person seemed to have no ill intentions, he suddenly became a little concerned when he thought that his party was lacking the protection of an immortal master.

So they boldly made a request for sacrifice to this person, and they were rewarded with ten spiritual stones every day, hoping that the other party could safely escort them to Hanyue City.

The figure wrapped in the firelight did not agree immediately, but after hesitating a few times, he asked for twenty spiritual stones before being hired by them.

Ding Jin originally thought that the price of twenty spiritual stones was a little high, but fortunately it was within the range that he could afford. He also felt that the road to Hanyue City was indeed not smooth, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to the other party's request.

However, in the next few days, Ding Jin felt that the daily offering of twenty spiritual stones was well worth it, because he encountered several monster attacks along the way, and the immortal master could do it with just a wave of his hand. Obliterate, the power of the supernatural power shocked them greatly.

After seeing the power of this immortal master, Lu Qing just whispered in private, which naturally made Ding Jin jealous.

With these few days of experience in his mind, Ding Jin took a deep breath and looked at the silent chariot with even more awe.

But what Ding Jin didn't know was that while he was sighing secretly, the people in the carriage were also smiling bitterly.

The person in the car is a young man, wearing black ink clothes. The firelight that filled his body has disappeared, revealing an ordinary face, but his black and white eyes are as deep as the vast sea. , revealing calmness and mystery.

"Young Master Ye, I really don't understand. Since you have come out of the Spiritual Heaven Realm, why don't you just go back to Beimai Tianqi Gate? Why do you have to stay in Nanshan? And now you are still in trouble. If you don't know, you will have to leave me. Life is lost here.”

In the silence, a vicissitudes of voice sounded in the mind of the young man in black. His words were both worried and a bit gloating.

"Junior wants to return to Tianqi Sect as soon as possible, but senior has also seen my current situation. Although I have been in the barrier mezzanine for ten years, I have advanced to the middle stage of mana, but I was hit hard again when I escaped from the void crack. , the mana clashed again, and came to the Nanshan boundary inexplicably. "

After a pause, the young man in black clothes continued: "Although I have stabilized my true energy with the Xuanyin Five Elements Curse at this moment, I have also been forced to restrain my magic power. Now all I can use is the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Period. To If you want to recover, you probably need to find blood lingzhi and make it into a pill. I heard that blood ganoderma will appear at the Immortal Fate Meeting in Hanyue City soon, so I temporarily joined the mortal team and went with them." Mo Yi. The young man smiled bitterly.

This young man in black clothes is naturally Ye Chunyang. At this time, he has left the spiritual world and has been stranded in the southern mountain of Tianchong Mountain for several months. What he never expected was that he would be trapped in the interlayer of the barrier for a full ten years. .
