Unlike Dragon Continent in the Central Region and Qin Continent in the Eastern Region, the system has already developed maturely, and the power of human immortal cultivators occupies an absolute dominant position.

Although Qingzhou in the Western Region is slightly weaker than these two continents, its demonic path is prosperous and human cultivators are also the main force.

The Yan Continent in the Southern Territory and the Han Continent in the Northern Territory are both large black and yellow continents with relatively low levels of development. In comparison, the Han Continent in the Northern Territory is stronger than the Southern Continent.

Hundreds of sects in the Southern Wilderness, this is not a good description. In fact, there are many sects in the Southern Wilderness, and wars that destroy sects will happen from time to time. The situation is chaotic and it doesn't just include the hundreds of sects.

In the Chifeng area, Hongshan Town is a small town only two hundred miles away from the sea, and there is a small mountain dozens of miles away from the town.

This mountain is only two to three hundred feet high and covers an area of ​​more than ten miles. The spiritual veins in the mountain are so short and inferior that even the larger cultivating families cannot see it.

But in this mountain that can barely be called a spiritual vein, there is a small sect of cultivators called the "Red Cauldron Sect".

Since ancient times, the sects in the world of cultivating immortals have established their sects with the word "ding". They all have special expertise in alchemy. Among them, the strong ones can develop into sects on the continent, while the weak ones, like the Red Cauldron Sect, are almost the strongest among the sects of cultivating immortals.

The existence of the bottom layer.

Even the sect leader plus his disciples are no more than a hundred people, so although this spiritual line is short and inferior, it can barely accommodate all the disciples of this sect.

However, even though the Red Cauldron Sect is in such decline today, it can still be regarded as an orthodox tradition with a long history.

In our ancestors, there were great monks in the Nascent Soul Realm who had tens of thousands of disciples. However, over the course of thousands of years, the fortunes of the younger generations have faded away, and the younger generations cannot innovate and work hard, but just gnaw at their old age. In the end, some of their families will fall into ruin.

when.

Today, tens of thousands of years later, the Red Cauldron Sect can only rely on some corner secrets of the alchemy path of its ancestors to barely continue the inheritance.

With such a declining sect, except for some monks who are also in a difficult situation, few other high-level monks come here to visit.

Therefore, the disciples of the Red Cauldron Sect who are on duty every day are naturally extremely leisurely, usually either meditating or practicing or chatting.

But on this day, two disciples of the Red Cauldron Sect guarding the mountain stood together and sighed.

"Senior Brother Li, is Danzhenfang City really going to close? Although I am still new to the industry, I also know that Danzhenfang City accounts for more than half of our income. Without this income, it will be even more difficult for our sect in the future.

Sustained." Among the two disciples guarding the mountain, a handsome male disciple of sixteen or seventeen years old asked the other in a somewhat muttered voice.

"But what if you don't want to close the door? The earth's veins changed, and a ten-thousand-year fire spirit ran out from the depths of the earth. It was a ten-thousand-year fire spirit, equivalent to the great monk at the ancestor level of Yuanying, although it is still there honestly.

Stay near the volcano, but this land of thousands of miles is no longer suitable for human beings to live. Not only us, Lingfengmen, Mingyang Mountain, and the monks of the nearby sects have to move, otherwise who knows when the fire spirit will come

After detecting it, the volcano will be detonated and the environment will become more suitable for it to live." Another person, a young man in his 24s and 24s, said helplessly.

"Detonate the volcano? Isn't there a big monk to take care of it? There are hundreds of thousands of mortals nearby." The young disciple was surprised when he heard this. He also had family members living nearby.

"What do you care about, how do you care about it? Although the Ten Thousand Years Fire Spirit is not as intelligent as demon cultivators and immortal cultivators, it has lived in the volcanic area for many years, and its magic power is terrifyingly powerful. Without enough benefits, which Nascent Soul Ancestor is willing to take over?

This kind of trouble can cause a volcano to erupt, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of mortals, and adding to the disaster." Senior Brother Li snorted a few times and said with some dissatisfaction.

"However, Senior Brother Li, the market is closed, the mountain gate is lost, and even the mortals who migrate will suffer heavy casualties. I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to maintain our sect in the future." After hearing this, the young disciple thought about it and felt a great sense of despair in his heart.

"Forget it, Junior Brother Xu, these matters are not something that low-level disciples like us can get involved in. Leave everything to the headmaster and the elders. Anyway, no matter how bad our sect is, it is better than becoming a casual cultivator. Those casual cultivators have trouble with their heads.

On the belt, for a piece of spiritual stone or a piece of spiritual grass, you have to fight with monsters and rob cultivators with your life... Hey, what is that?" The obese young man sighed and spoke to comfort his junior brother, but he looked at him casually.

After Tian looked at it, he suddenly became surprised.

Hearing this, the young disciple paused and looked over.

They saw a flash of light in the sky in the distance, and then a golden rainbow several feet long suddenly appeared in the sky and shot towards them.

"Which senior is this? It seems to be coming towards us!" The golden rainbow in front of him escaped very fast, and he was not far away in the blink of an eye. The young disciple screamed in panic.

Although he had just started, such an amazing evasion of light could not be displayed by the several foundation-building masters in the sect, so he was naturally very uneasy.

"I don't know. Maybe I came to see my uncle." The obese young man was also confused and could only comfort himself by saying this.

Jin Hong flew to the vicinity of Red Cauldron Mountain a moment later, and seemed to see the two disciples guarding the mountain from a distance. The light flashed, and Jin Hong fell straight down, his brilliance dimming.

A few feet in front of the Red Cauldron Gate, a young Taoist in yellow robes in his twenties appeared.

"Is this the Red Cauldron Gate of Red Cauldron Mountain?" The young Taoist has an outstanding appearance, like a divine king.

He glanced at the looming mountain gate restrictions behind the two people in front of him, and asked indifferently. It was Zhang Lie who came here specially.

True Lord Xiaoshan has been practicing for thousands of years and has vast connections and experience. He not only thought of the Ten Thousand Years Fire Spirit suitable for Zhang Lie to take action, but also asked Zhang Lie to come to the Red Cauldron Sect to take a look before capturing the Fire Spirit.

I want to take action and see if I can get another reward from the Red Cauldron Sect.

Although the Supreme Elder of the Red Cauldron Sect is an old friend of Master Xiao Shan, we are all old friends. It’s not good for you to watch my apprentice work in vain, isn’t it?

"This is the Red Cauldron Mountain. Is there anything I can do for you, senior?" Although these two disciples were still at a low level and could not tell Zhang Lie's true cultivation level, they also judged in an instant that the monk in front of them was definitely at the foundation building level.

The seniors above looked at each other, and the young man named Xu hurriedly bowed deeply and said.

"A disciple of True Lord Xiaoshan from the Danyang Palace has come to visit Master Hua Zheng, the Supreme Elder of the Red Cauldron Sect. Could you please let me know." Zhang Lie nodded and said this.

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, senior." Upon hearing these words, the two disciples guarding the mountain knew that the person coming was a friend rather than an enemy, and hurriedly took out a transmission note. After whispering a few words

, toss the transmission note high behind you.

The talisman suddenly turned into a ray of light, and disappeared into the restricted area of ​​​​the mountain gate and disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Lie seemed to be motionless on the spot, but without making a move, he used his spiritual consciousness to lightly sweep over the hill. He had cultivated the Haotian Dharma Eyes and his spiritual consciousness was extremely powerful, even though he was separated by a layer.

Although it was restricted, Zhang Lie could still vaguely sense the general idea.

As a result, he frowned slightly.

Although before coming here, I already knew that the Red Cauldron Sect was definitely not big.

However, there are only more than a hundred people in a sect that cultivates immortality, and they only sensed the aura of one monk who was in the early stage of forming pills on the mountain. It seems that this sect is just like what Master Xiao said, it is a low-level sect.

But for a sect like this, Master Xiao specially asked him to come. He must have a deep meaning. There should be some things in this sect that Master Xiao had thought about but had not yet obtained. It was just on the jade slip that Master Xiao did not say clearly.

come out.

After a moment, a burst of yellow light flashed behind the two disciples, and then a mountain gate more than ten feet high appeared.

There were three monks walking out side by side at the mountain gate.

These monks passed by the two disciples guarding the mountain and glanced towards Zhang Lie.

The faces of several people changed drastically at the same time. The old man in the center, wearing a yellow robe, hurriedly took a few steps to salute Zhang Lieshen, held his hands in front of him and said respectfully:

"My junior Cui Yunpeng, the head of the Red Cauldron Sect, didn't know that my senior came to our sect and was unable to welcome him from afar. I hope that my senior will forgive me!"

This Cui Yunpeng cultivated in the foundation-building stage, although it is also impossible to tell Zhang Lie's exact cultivation level.

However, as the master of a sect, his vision and knowledge are naturally far beyond the comparison of his two disciples, so he only observes the etiquette of a junior in a very respectful manner.

As the head of a small sect, eyesight and knowledge are even more important than cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Cui, there is no need to be polite. I am just here to visit Master Huazheng on the orders of my master."

Master Xiao and Master Huazheng are old friends. It is normal for Zhang Lie to call Cui Yunpeng a fellow Taoist, but not to call him nephew, but it is not necessary.

"You should not be called a senior Taoist friend. The Supreme Elder is cultivating in the back mountain. I will lead the way for seniors."

Cui Yunpeng declined the title of fellow Taoist and insisted on taking Zhang Lie to the back mountain of Chiding Mountain with the courtesy of a junior.

The leaders of Lingfeng Sect and Mingyang Mountain who came with him looked at each other, and naturally they paid more attention to the Red Cauldron Sect.

The entire Chiding Mountain is not that big, and the back mountain is just a relatively secluded spot.

Not long after, Zhang Lie saw Master Xiao's old friend Huazheng Zhenren.

She is a middle-aged beauty who can already tell her age, with slightly white temples and a slightly haggard expression.

At such an age, with the initial cultivation of Dan Dan, it can be said that this life has been completed, but Zhang Lie still held the gift of a junior after seeing him.

The vitality of this Huazheng master has declined somewhat. He is at least over 600 years old, and he is an old friend of Master Xiao. He himself holds the ceremony of being a junior disciple, so it is nothing.

"Zhang Yuanlie, a disciple of Zhenjun Xiaoshan under the Danyang Palace, pays homage to Zhenren Huazheng."

In the main hall of the Taoist temple, there were only two people, Master Hua Zheng and Zhang Lie. Master Hua Zheng looked deeply at Zhang Lie. After a while, he shook his head and said:

"Senior Brother Xiaoshan is indeed far superior to me. Not only has he attained the Nascent Soul Dao, but he has also cultivated disciples like you. Hua Zheng is far inferior, and I am convinced. You have left a lot of impressions in the door this time.

Stay for a few days. Although I am not good at it, I still have some experience in alchemy that I can pass on to you."

Zhang Lie's cultivation at the sixth level of the golden elixir and his magical power are so powerful that Master Hua Zheng feels that he cannot see through them at all. Because of his friendship with Xiao Shan, such a monk is still willing to perform discipleship rituals. Master Hua Zheng also feels comfortable in his heart, so

I am willing to impart some of my alchemy experience.

She is a monk who has devoted her whole life to alchemy. Even an old monster in the Nascent Soul Realm may not be superior to her in the field of alchemy.

"Thank you, senior. However, when I come here this time, I am also ordered by Master to kill the Ten Thousand Years Fire Spirit. Therefore, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay here for a long time."

Hearing Zhang Lie's words, Hua Zheng's expression also changed.

"Execute the Ten Thousand Years Fire Spirit? That old ghost from Xiaoshan didn't come in person and only sent you as a disciple. It would be too irresponsible. The Ten Thousand Years Fire Spirit is not inferior to the sixth-level demon king. How can you, a pill-forming monk?"

Deal with it?"

"Uh, I'm the fifth-level formation mage."

"..."

After hearing Zhang Lie's words, Master Huazheng paced around the room, feeling slightly confused for a moment.

Although she has come to the end of her path, Huazheng Zhenren has even given up the sect inheritance over the years, but if possible, she does not want to keep the Red Cauldron Sect inheritance.

Finally, Master Huazheng gritted his teeth and said: "That old ghost from Xiaoshan is worthy of being a teacher, but I can't completely let you Yuan Lie take charge of this matter, so I will go with you to suppress the fire spirit."
