Author: At the end of July

Yunlingzhai, in a guest room.

Xu Changyu looked solemn, spoke seriously, and with hope in his eyes, invited Song Zhishu to come to Shushan.

Shushan Sword Sect, one of the three major sword sects in the world today, has a long heritage and is known as the leader of the righteous way. In the three battles between demons and demons, Shushan led the sects in the world and united with the Buddhist and Confucian families to jointly resist the demons and demons and block the worthy immortal sect.

The strength of Shushan does not lie in the large number of disciples of the sect. In fact, Shushan has the fewest disciples among the immortal sects in the world.

But having a small number does not mean that one is weak. The Shushan Sword Sect has strict requirements for recruiting disciples, with character and character being the top priority.

It is precisely because of this that over the years, he has gained a vague reputation as the best sword sect in the world.

Even with the rise of Taihao Sword Sect.

Shushan is still Shushan.

It can be said that if given the opportunity to enter Shushan, few monks would refuse.

Therefore, after Song Zhishu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I have no thoughts of joining any sect for the time being. Please forgive me. It is indeed not bad to be a casual cultivator."

He naturally has a yearning for the Shushan Sword Sect, but during this period of time when he left the Taihao Sword Sect.

Song Zhishu could clearly feel that he had experienced more things and would not be affected by external things.

In other words, casual cultivators can be carefree and free from restraints.

If you join the sect, you can indeed enjoy a lot of benefits and resources, but you may have to bear some things.

Nowadays, Zhishu Song only wants to find his own way and join a certain sect, which is naturally impossible. It is more suitable for him to follow his heart and do whatever he wants.

So when faced with Shushan's invitation, I had no choice but to refuse.

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Changyu seemed to have expected this, smiling: "Everyone has his or her own path, and you can't force it."

Song Zhishu is not an ordinary monk. Regardless of his own realm, he is still a Confucian gentleman scholar. Such a person must have his own ideas and will not change because of certain things. A real scholar is like this, stubborn and tenacious.

"Is this why Fellow Daoist Xu came today?" Song Zhishu continued: "And what did Fellow Daoist mean just now?"

In the words of the other party's invitation to Shushan, it was stated that someone would explain some questions to him.

This made him a little confused, so he asked.

"Of course not."

Xu Changyu pondered for a moment, and then said the real purpose of his trip: "Today, I want to invite fellow Taoist Song to Shushan. My head master wants to talk to fellow Taoist Song about some things. I will tell him face to face. As long as

What fellow Taoists want to know."

"When?" Song Zhishu was a little surprised. First it was Qingcheng, and then Shushan. Did he actually pay such attention to it now?

Is it because of the Battle of Yucheng, or the Confucian talent displayed?

But he feels that although there is a relationship between the two, it is not significant.

After all, although there are not many people like himself in today's world, they are not unique either.

Who are the masters of the two great sword sects of Shushan and Qingcheng? They are truly strong men, high-ranking members of the human race, holding great power and powerful. Even if they pay some attention to a junior, they would not choose to meet them in person and let their disciples pass the message.

alright.

"As soon as possible."

Xu Changyu opened his mouth and said again: "After a few days, after the master has taken care of the matters at hand, I will bring fellow Taoists to the Shushan Sword Sect."

So fast?

Song Zhishu was slightly shocked when he heard this, but he had not agreed yet.

However, he did have many questions in his mind, so he finally nodded: "Okay."

The headmaster of Shushan Sword Sect is one of the most powerful men in the world. If you want to know more, the other party can give you complete answers.

"Okay, then my mission for this trip has been completed."

Seeing the other party's agreement, Xu Changyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up, looked at Song Zhishu, and continued after a moment of silence: "Fellow Daoist Song, although the battle of Yucheng saved the entire Jinzhou and eliminated the evil demons, this

Everything is actually just the beginning. I am afraid that the world will not be peaceful in the future. To be honest, there are some things that whether it is Shushan Sword Sect or other sects, may require your help, fellow Taoist."

In fact, he didn't want to say this, but he also knew that Song Zhishu would know about it sooner or later, so it was better to remind him in advance.

What the headmaster wants to discuss with the other party is also related to this, and he must be somewhat prepared in his mind.

"Need my help?"

Song Zhishu was a little confused and couldn't help but said: "I am just an alchemy monk, and the realm of Confucianism is only the realm of a gentleman. This kind of strength is nothing in this world. How much power can I contribute?"

There may not have been many dual practitioners of Taoism and Confucianism before, but now it is completely different, and all major sects are cultivating them.

In addition, now that Confucianism and Taoism are no longer suppressed, there are definitely not a few people like me.

Therefore, Song Zhishu didn't understand why the other party would say such things.

"Fellow Taoist Song, there is no need to belittle yourself."

Xu Changyu shook his head, but did not choose to explain. He just said: "You are more important than you think."

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, and then he slightly cupped his hands and spoke again: "Now that the matter has been done, I should leave. Fellow Taoist, I will rest for the next few days. When the time is up, I will come to pick you up, Fellow Daoist Song."

.”

After finishing speaking, Xu Changyu turned around and left the room without stopping any longer.

But that attitude caught Song Zhishu's attention.

"It's more important than imagined. Could it be that Gu Yun Da Ru's speculation about me has spread?" Song Zhishu said to himself, thinking that when he met Gu Yun Da Ru and others for the first time, the other party thought that he was the reincarnation of a saint, so he did not hesitate to set up a big picture.

If this is the reason, it seems reasonable for the major sect forces to pay attention.

But he knew very well that once the talk about the reincarnation of saints came out, he would not just pay attention to it, but come directly to his door.

Everyone knows how significant this is, especially now that the chaos is about to come and everyone is in danger. Even the Taihao Sword Sect and other forces dare not take it lightly and respond with all their strength. Once the so-called reincarnation of the saint comes out, Qingcheng is afraid that

The two great sword sects and Shushan will take him away directly.

So that's definitely not the reason.

"That's all. If you continue to think about it, you won't get the answer. Just make peace with it as it comes."

Song Zhishu said to himself, clearing all distracting thoughts and did not choose to think about it because it was meaningless.

When the time comes to meet the headmaster of Shushan, all the questions may be answered, but now I think it’s just a waste of time.

However, Xu Changyu's words also made him more serious.

Everything has just begun.

I'm afraid the demon chaos in Beizhou has changed.

For a moment, Song Zhishu felt a little pressure in his heart. He excluded everything and his own cultivation was nothing in that chaos, so the most important thing next was to improve his strength.

Immediately, he took out several storage bags on his body. There were 100,000 spirit stones left before. With the Jinzhou mission, he now had a total of 170,000 spirit stones. This was for a person.

For an ordinary monk, this is already a huge amount of money.

But in the hands of Song Zhishu, it was not like that.

"If you want to speed up your cultivation in the pill-forming realm, the Lingyuan Pill is no longer effective. You need a better pill called Hunyuan Pill. The price is ten times that of the Lingyuan Pill, which is one thousand spirit stones. I am now

I can only buy one hundred and seventy pieces.”

He did some calculations, and couldn't help but show a look of helplessness in his eyes.

Sure enough, the further you go in practice, the more resources you need, especially in the Dan Formation realm.

The spiritual stones on hand are simply not enough, and more importantly, Song Zhishu also plans to improve the quality of the Sky Thunder Bottle and the Saint Sword Embryo, which will cost at least hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones.

He does have the means to earn spiritual stones, which can be used to engrave higher-grade gems, but it is a drop in the bucket and cannot support his practice at all.

And the current situation does not allow Song Zhishu to practice slowly.

"Let's do it step by step."

With his thoughts at this point, Song Zhishu sighed slightly, understanding that there was no need to rush into this kind of thing.

After all, it would take ordinary monks dozens or even hundreds of years to complete the process from foundation building to elixir formation, but it only took me a few months. This speed is actually very fast.

Immediately, he completely calmed down and continued to practice.

In this way, time passes bit by bit.

The City Lord's Mansion has distributed rewards for the Battle of Yucheng, and everyone who participated will have a share, and they are very generous.

During this period, Lin Cheng and Li Xiansong came here. Due to Wang Chong's death, both of them felt very heavy, and they were not happy about the generous reward. After all, they knew each other well and had experienced life and death.

Friends.

But practice is like this, it's extremely cruel, and no one can guarantee that they can make it to the end.

The road to immortality is full of corpses.

So they chose to accept it and bid farewell to Song Zhishu at the same time.
