"Brother Xu, I didn't expect that you and I would really see each other again." I don't know whether it was because he had lost his vitality after the all-out attack just now or because he was in a state of excitement when meeting old friends, but Mr. Yuan spoke with a slight tremor.

"Not bad, not bad. The boy in the past is now an innate master and has such a big business, which is great." Xu Jingtian replied with a smile.

"Brother Xu made fun of me. I haven't seen you for decades, and I have grown old, but you are still the same as before. The gap between immortals and mortals is really like a natural chasm."

"Okay, you and I will talk about old times later," Xu Jingtian still smiled lightly, turned to the people still kneeling on the ground and said, "Everyone, get up."

Everyone then stood up, but they all stood with their hands tied and did not dare to raise their heads.

Xu Jingtian first said to the emperor: "Well done, the world still has the surname Li."

The emperor was surprised and thanked him.

"Hokusai, Nanjin."

After hearing this, the two stepped forward half a step, bowed and replied:

"Hokusai is incompetent and achieves nothing."

"Nan Jin has a shallow relationship and no chance."

Xu Jingtian just nodded and the two of them returned to their original positions and stood with hands tied.

"Have you gained anything from waiting for the four factions?"

Wudang, Qingcheng, and Xuanhuo replied in unison: "I will forgive you, but you will gain nothing."

At this time, Master Zhishui pulled a little girl about six or seven years old forward, bowed deeply, and then returned to her original position without saying a word.

Xu Jingtian saw this little girl's handsome body, standing timidly but couldn't help but peek at him curiously, and he immediately felt good about her.

Before she could ask any questions, the little girl bowed first, with thoughtful etiquette, and said, "Zhu Ling'er has seen the Immortal."

Xu Jingtian said warmly: "Okay, get up."

Then he flipped his palm, and a white bead the size of a fist appeared in his hand. The mist inside the bead was churning, which was quite mysterious.

I saw him tossing it gently, and the ball flew up into the air, hanging three inches above Zhu Ling'er's head.

After a while, the mist inside the bead rose, the bead gradually turned into a deep blue color, and bursts of water vapor came out.

Zhu Ling'er was a little scared at first, but gradually she sat cross-legged in the water vapor, with a look of calmness on her face.

Xu Jingtian stretched out his hand and made a move. The water vapor immediately dissipated, and the ball returned to its previous appearance. It fell steadily into his hand and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Then, a white jade porcelain vase appeared in Xu Jingtian's hand. Without any further movement, the porcelain vase flew through the air to Master Zhishui.

Seeing this, Zhi Shui tried her best to calm down her mood, then took it with both hands, put it away tightly and deeply, gave a deep bow, and then led the disciples away without even looking at Zhu Ling'er who had been looking at her.

Seeing this, the other three sects also bowed deeply and left.

Beizhai and Nan Jin looked at each other and were about to leave, but Mr. Yuan said: "You two worthy brothers might as well stay for a few more days. The three of us will have to get drunk before we retire."

Xu Jingtian smiled slightly and did not comment.

When the two heard this, they looked at each other and smiled. Hokusai then said: "Brother, don't feel bad about the wine."

"Hahaha, Fulai, take your two wise brothers and this little girl Zhu Ling'er to the guest room to rest. Don't be slow to do so."

The butler who had been waiting outside the courtyard came in immediately, respectfully answered yes, and led the three of them towards the guest room without raising his head the whole time.

"Okay, let's call the little guy out." Xu Jingtian said with a smile to Mr. Yuan after everyone left.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Brother Xu. Qing'er, come out and see Grandpa Xu." Mr. Yuan smiled bitterly, and then waved gently to the room behind him.

Yuan Qing had been locked in the room by his grandfather all day long since he got up early in the morning. He was already depressed. He had just peeked at the "magic method" and had been fascinated by it for a long time. At this moment, when he heard his grandfather calling, he ran all the way to his grandfather and bowed to Xu Jingtian.

After that, he looked at this immortal generously.

Xu Jingtian looked at Yuan Qing carefully, and then said: "Not bad, not bad. The foundation is extremely strong at a young age. It seems that he has practiced some method of strengthening the foundation and cultivating the body. There is still a lot of medicine in the limbs and bones that has not been transformed. Shouyi, you really use it."

I understand.”

Yuan Shouyi laughed and said nothing.

Xiao Yuanqing looked up and down, as if he was looking for something.

Seemingly seeing through his doubts, Xu Jingtian smiled slightly and took out the previous ball with his backhand.

When Xiao Yuanqing saw the bead appear, his eyes suddenly widened, and he was full of infinite curiosity about this bead that appeared and disappeared and turned blue.

"This is called the Ding Ling Bead. It can determine what kind of heaven and earth energy the person being sensed is related to and the degree of affinity. The little girl just now has a very high affinity to the water attribute weather energy, so the bead is blue. Just relax and stand still.

"

After saying that, Xu Jingtian cast the spell as before, and the Dingling Pearl floated motionless above Yuan Qing's head, and then the beads turned into five colors: white, green, blue, red and yellow, which was really beautiful.

Xu Jingtian frowned slightly when he saw this scene. Yuan Shouyi couldn't help but asked, "Brother Xu, is there something wrong?"

Xu Jingtian did not take back the Soul-fixing Bead, and after looking at Yuan Qing again, he said: "To be close to the vitality of heaven and earth is called a spirit; the one who receives the spirit can develop spiritual roots. However, the vitality of heaven and earth is so complicated, so the more you are close to one of them, the purer the spiritual root will be.

The road becomes smoother and smoother. The five-color spiritual roots and vitality are mixed. If you are not an innate Taoist body, you cannot achieve Taoism due to great opportunities. Do you understand?"

After pondering for a moment, he added: "Instead of letting this child fight for the chance of enlightenment, it is better to stay in the world and use his qualifications to enter the innate realm easily, which is worse than..."

Suddenly there was a sword cry, high-pitched and melodious, and it suddenly turned nine times, as if it were soaring up to the ninth level of the sky. The sound became clearer and clearer. In an instant, the swords resonated, and the sound of the sword clang could be heard in a radius of ten miles.

Xu Jingtian drew the talisman in the air and shouted softly: "Seal."

Immediately the sound of the sword dissipated, and when he looked at Xiao Yuanqing again, he was sitting in the sky, with no sadness, no joy, no thoughts, no thoughts on his face.

Xu Jingtian took back the Ding Ling Pearl, looked at Yuan Qing who woke up and didn't know what happened, and praised: "The sword rings for nine turns, ten thousand swords surrender, the nine spirit sword body, the great road can be expected!"

"Brother Xu, what is the Nine Spirit Sword Body?" Yuan Shouyi touched Yuan Qing's little head and asked.

"The so-called Nine Spirit Sword Body is an excellent spirit body for practicing swordsmanship. It is naturally friendly to swordsmanship and advances very quickly." Xu Jingtian paused and then said, "Yuanqing should follow me back to Xuanyuan. What do you think?

how?"

Yuan Shouyi looked at Xiao Yuanqing lovingly, and then asked, "When will Brother Xu leave?"

"I will come again in two months to take them away." Xu Jingtian replied calmly.

Yuan Shouyi just remained silent after hearing this.

"Dad," Yuan Zhengye hurried to the backyard, "The child seemed to have heard the sound of gold and iron weapons clashing, and then the sword in the room was shaking. But what happened?"

"Nothing happened, no need to panic. Just take Yuan Qing back to rest." Yuan Shouyi waved his hand.

"Yes." Yuan Zhengye immediately waved to Yuan Qing, "Qing'er, come here."

After hearing this, Yuan Qing glanced at his grandfather and saw him nodding slightly, then walking towards his father. He suddenly stopped after taking a few steps, and bowed and saluted Xu Jingtian, his face full of solemnity.

After getting up, he returned to his cheerful childlike appearance and walked towards his father. The father and son went back to their room laughing and talking.

Xu Jingtian accepted the gift calmly, and after Yuan and Qing left, he smiled at Yuan Shouyi and said, "Shouyi, come and tell me your stories over the years."

Yuan Shouyi smiled and didn't answer. He walked to a corner of the courtyard and stretched out his hand to grab it. He saw a jar of wine coming out of the ground. He shook his hand and all the dust on the jar fell off, revealing the sapphire jar body. Then he turned around and faced Xu Jingtian.

He replied: "How can we not have wine?"

Xu Jingtian laughed and drew symbols in the sky, but he saw fog rising from the ground, and the fog formed into clouds. When the clouds lifted up, Yuan Shouyi and Xu Jingtian rose into the sky.

Xu Jingtian waved his sleeves, and the table and chairs appeared. There were also two wine glasses made of clouds on the table.

Yuan Shouyi was shocked in his heart and felt incredible.

But then he calmed down, opened the mud seal, poured wine into the table, and said to Xu Jingtian: "This is the fairy wine that I accidentally found in a cliff cave when I was traveling in the early years. At that time, my skill was still weak, so I only drank a little.

After a small sip, I fell into a dream for three days and three nights. When I woke up, I found that I had gained ten years of skill out of thin air. At that time, I found a secret place to hide the wine. I didn't take out the wine until I settled in Chang'an City.

It has been buried in the backyard for about thirty years now. Brother Xu, please taste it."

When Xu Jingtian heard this, he picked up the wine glass and saw that the color of the wine was as green as green bamboo. The aroma of the grass and trees entered his lungs, and the entrance was delicate and warm. Then a burst of warm air traveled through the meridians, which had the effect of strengthening the foundation and cultivating the vitality. He couldn't help but admire: "Fruit

What a fine wine that ordinary people can brew! I wonder if it has a name?"

Yuan Shouyi also took a sip. His face was now blushing and he replied slightly drunkenly: "I don't know its original name, so I took it without worry."

"Worry-free. For ordinary people, drinking this wine will really make you worry-free. What a good name."

"By the way, Brother Xu, there was also a book, a small rune sword and a small bag found with the wine. The book seems to have recorded some kind of sword art from the immortal family, but it's a pity that I don't have enough talent.

After pondering day and night for decades, I only figured out one way to control a sword; this talisman sword, except when Yuan Qing was one year old and he chose this object when drawing lots, it was like a dead thing at other times."

As he spoke, Yuan Shouyi took out a palm-sized book and the village chief's small sword from his arms and handed them to Xu Jingtian.

Xu Jingtian took the book and the small sword and looked at it carefully. He saw that the booklet seemed to be made of some kind of animal skin, with a smooth and tough surface. The Talisman Sword felt cool to the touch and seemed to be made of black iron. As for the small book, it seemed to be made of some kind of animal skin.

The bag can be recognized at a glance as a storage bag.

Opening the book and browsing for about a stick of incense, Xu Jingtian closed the book and said to Yuan Shouyi: "This book contains an ancient sword scripture. It is really not easy for you to understand it. If I am right, I guess

, this talisman sword is a semi-finished flying sword, a necessity for sword cultivators. As for this bag, it is just a storage bag. The storage bag contains the universe and is used to store rare items. I also carry one with me. Do you want me to open it?

Wearing a storage bag?”

"Thank you, Brother Xu."

Xu Jingtian nodded slightly, took the bag and wiped it casually. There were immediately many minerals on the cloud table, with different sizes and shapes.

"It seems that the owner of this storage bag was a sword cultivator during his lifetime, and most of the mineral materials stored in the bag were used to refine flying swords." He waved his hand, and the minerals on the table disappeared immediately.

"Brother Xu, are these useful to you?"
