Jinyuan, the private garden behind Wanfu Building.
This garden was originally owned by the family of a wealthy businessman surnamed Jin. It is simple and elegant, with unique craftsmanship and countless exotic flowers and plants. It can be called the top three gardens in Shiling City.
But seven years ago, on the day of the catastrophe, the Jin family in the city was wiped out, and this place became Lu Qian's secret private property.
A month ago, Lu Qian dismissed all the servants in the garden, and sealed all the hidden doors in the garden, so this place became a restricted area in Shiling City.
On this day, Lu Qian took his adopted son into the golden garden from a secret passage.
Lu Yunfei muttered: "Father, who do you want to take me to meet, why are you sneaking around?"
"Yunfei, do you know who is the master of Shiling City?"
Lu Yunfei smiled flatteringly: "Who doesn't know that Shiling City was rebuilt from the ruins by Yifu. You are not the owner of Shiling City, who dares to claim it?"
"Hehe! Ridiculous, sad... Have you forgotten how that big tomb came about?"
Lu Yunfei straightened his face, recalling the huge stone mausoleum outside the city and the teachings of his adoptive father, he said in a deep voice:
"Don't dare to forget, it was a catastrophe brought down by the monks in Nanyi City. More than [-] people in Wanshi City died in one day."
Lu Qian said bitterly: "People in the world are nothing more than ants in the eyes of cultivators. Even the entire Stone Alliance is just a tool that can be replaced at any time in the eyes of monks in Shoushanfang City."
Lu Yunfei refused to accept, "They are just people with stronger power, so why do they do whatever they want?"
"In this world, power is justice, and of course the strong can do whatever they want..."
"..."
Lu Qian looked into Yizi's eyes and asked:
"If you have that kind of power, maybe you will become like them..."
Lu Yunfei said categorically: "Absolutely not, I have received great kindness from my adoptive father, how could I forget my roots."
Lu Qianwei smiled and said, "Don't forget the original? I hope you can remember what you said today."
"Father, you haven't told me yet, who do you want to take me to see?"
Lu Qian took the lead and walked in front.
"I want to take you to see the leader of the Stone Sect, he is also a cultivator of immortality."
"The leader of the Stone Cult? Isn't that fake..."
"Here, you still dare to talk nonsense?"
Lu Yunfei was stared at by his adoptive father, and quickly covered his mouth.
Ever since Lu Yunfei joined the Stone Sect, he has never met this mysterious leader. He thought that the highest leader of the Stone Sect was the right envoy Lu Qian. It's just the characters who came out.
Unexpectedly, Shijiao really has a leader, and he is also a cultivator of immortality.
Why did foster father bring me to see him?
He just mentioned "...that kind of power", could it be that...
Lu Yunfei's heart was pounding, he was a little excited, he was very smart, he had already guessed that he might have a chance to become a cultivator.
Lu Qian took his adoptive son to the back garden of the Golden Garden, where thousands of exotic flowers and plants were planted. Although no one took care of them for many years, it was a bit messy and disorderly, but they were full of vigor and vitality. , coincides with the beauty of nature.
In the center of the garden is a stone mountain, more than thirty feet long, like a lotus flower.
As soon as the two approached, they saw a stone gate opening in the middle of the stone mountain, leading directly to the ground, which was more than a hundred feet deep.
The stone gate is a new one, but the passageway is an old one.
Lu Yunfei walked through the mottled and simple stone road, suddenly enlightened.
There is actually a huge karst cave underground, a huge underground palace not inferior to the size of Jinyuan, standing in the cave, the whole body of the underground palace is made of white jade, which can shine like a night pearl, illuminating the cave like daytime, simple and magnificent, beautiful...
There is a three-foot-wide dark river flowing around the underground palace, and there are many silver-eyed white fish in the river.
Lu Yunfei looked at all this in amazement, he didn't expect that Shijiao quietly built an underground palace under the golden garden.
As everyone knows, Lu Qian, the right envoy of the Stone Sect, only knew about a month ago that there was an underground palace directly below the Golden Garden.
One month ago, when Lu Qian dismissed the servants of the Golden Garden, Cao Cuo stepped into the Golden Garden, and immediately fell in love with the Lotus Stone Mountain in the garden. This place has the most aura, which is equivalent to the spiritual eye of the Golden Garden.
When the mountain was opened to build the cave, the green locust stumbled into it by mistake and found a collapsed ancient road. It took six or seven days to dig around the ancient road before finding this white jade underground palace.
The shape of this underground palace is simple and simple, not like the style of Jin Kingdom, but like the architectural style of an older era.
Cao Cuo's luck can be considered as Jitai, but it's not too good.
Because, the entire white jade underground palace has been evacuated, except for the extremely delicious silver-eyed white fish in the dark river, and the underground palace itself, there are no other valuable things left.
The vitality of heaven and earth in the Baiyu Underground Palace is more abundant than that in the Golden Garden, so he decided to use this place as a place for meditation.
Lu Qian and the two saw Cao Cuo sitting cross-legged in the main hall of the Baiyu Underground Palace.
Lu Qian respectfully saluted and said, "My lord!"
Lu Yunfei also bowed and said, "Master!"
He peeked at the people in the palace, he wore a black robe decorated with a little gold pattern, he was about 20 years old, handsome and handsome, much younger than his adoptive father, but his figure was just as burly...
"Don't be too polite."
call out!Cao Cuo stretched out his hand to lead, and a green locust flew out of Lu Qian's arms, holding a storage bag in its mouth, which contained the source stones from Lu Qian's four secret vaults.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz..."
First to appease the green locust who had been working hard, he took the storage bag and took a look.
The source stone inside can yield at least 50 square meters of jade, plus the [-] square meters of jade bought from the Meteor Pavilion, he will have [-] jade pieces as raw materials for making talismans, which can push the way of talismans to a new level.
"Lu Qian, I will sneak here for a while and don't let outsiders come in to disturb me. As for this kid, I can stay here for a while."
Cao Cuo looked at Lu Qian, and continued to order: "As for the origin stone, you arrange for the Stone Cult to collect it as soon as possible. I have a lot of elixir for capturing Yunshan here, and I will exchange it with the Jiaozhong at the price of Shoushanfang City."
Lu Qian has outstanding abilities and can be called a hero in the secular world. Anything and everything will only make him alienated, and the long-term solution is to bind interests.
"Yes."
Lu Qian is glad to say that many elixirs produced by Qinyun Mountain are of great benefit to the practice of Shigong. If he wants to break through to the No. 12 layer of Shigong, he also needs a lot of elixir assistance. It seems that he has to find a way to withhold some more The origin stone of Shoushan.
The group of monks in Shoushan searched and searched, and they were not as generous as the Lord.
After a few more instructions to Lu Yunfei, Lu Qian bid farewell and left.
...
"boom!"
At the foot of Lianhua Mountain, Lu Qian looked at the stone door that closed automatically, and it was tightly stitched without any trace.
"Yunfei, see you next time, you will be an immortal teacher."
Lu Qian glanced at Lianhuashan complicatedly, then turned and left.
Inside the White Jade Palace.
"come here."
"Yes... yes, leader." Lu Yunfei was a little nervous.
Cao Cuo asked Lu Yunfei to come forward, probed with his divine sense, then frowned and said:
"Trouble!"
He found that the combination of Shi Gong and Lu Yunfei's body was far beyond imagination, and the entanglement of Shi Gong's strength was so deep that it had become one with the vitality, and it might not be eradicated.
"How long have you practiced this stone skill?"
"Master, I have practiced for less than five years." Lu Yunfei asked nervously, "Is there something wrong?"
Cao Cuo glanced at him with "pity", until Lu Yunfei felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat, he said slowly:
"The strength of stone kung fu is entangled with your vitality. Even if you switch to cultivating immortal kung fu, you can't escape the 40th limit in Qi training. You can only restore your original lifespan if you break through the foundation building before the age of 40."
"Huh, it's okay."
Lu Yunfei heaved a sigh of relief, and said openly: "I have regarded the age of 40 as the end of my life since I practiced stone kung fu. I never imagined that one day I would be able to practice immortal arts and get the chance to prolong my life."
The young man rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Having a chance is already rare and precious. No matter how many people ask for it, I can't ask for it. I dare not expect more."
"Your boy has a bit of heart, and is a seed of cultivation."
This kid is considered young and ambitious in the Stone League, but he is not arrogant. Perhaps it has something to do with his experience as a refugee at a young age, and he matures much earlier than his peers.
Lu Yunfei also expressed himself: "Based on my ability, I may not be able to build a foundation before the age of 40."
Cao Miss smiled, after all, he was still a teenager, and he didn't know the difficulty of cultivating immortality.
"The stone kung fu does not give you all disadvantages. Its strength stimulates your vitality potential, and your cultivation speed in the Qi training environment will far exceed others."
Lu Yunfei was overjoyed when he heard that, the middle-grade Daogu was better than he expected, and it seemed that he could continue to practice the stone kung fu.
After the exchange, Cao Cuo officially began teaching the Dharma.
There are three kinds of qigong methods he has mastered: Blood River Inheritance, Hundred Blades Fist, and Nongyan Kung Fu. The Blood River Inheritance is too involved and he dare not reveal it, so he will demonstrate the Hundred Blades Fist and Nongyan Kung Fu respectively.
"Among the two, you choose a major."
"Yes, Master."
Lu Yunfei tried two kung fu respectively, and within a quarter of an hour he sensed the aura of Nong Yan Kung Fu, which suits him quite well.
"Master, I want to learn Yangong."
He immediately chose Nongyan Kung Fu as his main skill, and he also studied the boxing part of Bai Renquan.
"Time is limited, it depends on how much you can learn."
Cao Cuo patiently guided the other party for a month.
Although he has never majored in the technique of making flames, he has practiced the technique of making flames for many years, and has refined 10,000+ fire crow talismans. Lu Yunfei was more than enough.
Lu Yunfei was originally smart and willing to endure hardships. In the past month, except for eating, he basically practiced kung fu, and used meditation instead of sleeping, so he made progress quickly.
One month later, he has completely consolidated the first level of Qi training, and he has also become proficient in the Hundred Blade Fist.
"You are learning very fast, which is beyond my expectation."
Cao mistakenly saw that he had completed the courses, so he was about to start retreat.
"Yunfei, you have almost learned the knowledge of Qi training, and the rest depends on your own efforts and chance.
I will start retreat in advance. Within half a year, if you encounter difficulties in cultivation, you can communicate with me through the green locust Gu in your body. After half a year, you can leave on your own. "
"Yes, Master."
Lu Yunfei also just knew that the green locust Gu had this function, but he was not afraid of it.
As long as you don't betray the Stone Cult, the Green Locust Gu in your body will do you no harm, and you can use a secret technique with explosive potential to save your life at critical moments. The eleven owners of the Green Locust Gu in the Stone Cult, how many Relying on this secret technique for the first time, he narrowly escaped death.
...
Seeing the Lord enter the secret room inside the underground palace, Lu Yunfei also began to visit the underground palace, more precisely, started a treasure hunt.
"I don't believe in such a big underground palace. There isn't a single treasure. It's said in the books that the weirder the place, the more treasures..."
After all, he is a teenager at heart, and since he was a child, he loves to listen to the legendary stories of immortal cultivators told by storytellers in Shiling City. Although he knows that most of them are made up, it is inevitable that he can imagine that he can be like the protagonist in the book, and have endless adventures.
It's a pity that the fantasy is full and the reality is skinny. Lu Yunfei searched the white jade underground palace for three days, but he couldn't find a piece of broken stones of different colors except for white jade stones.
"Damn! Those ancient monks moved it so fucking clean, they just had to wax the floor..., so clean, maybe they've already been waxed, it's really bad, people's hearts are not old, it's not right. , they seem to be the ancients..."
Lu Yunfei was annoyed that he had gotten nothing, and his adventures and dreams were shattered, so he turned his attention to the dark river around the underground palace, to be precise, it was the silver-eyed white fish in the river.
He has eaten it several times in the past month, all of which were caught by the green locust arranged by the Lord. The taste is extremely delicious and unforgettable for a lifetime.
Lu Yunfei stared straight at the silver-eyed white fish that "seduced" him.
"I can only stay for a few months. It shouldn't matter if I steal a few more fish, right? The leader seems to be quite generous. It's just a few fish. Besides, I'm still growing..."
