Jiang Yan just walked into her master's small villa and saw that he was about to go out, so she stepped forward and asked, "Master, what are you doing here?"

Gu Jizi smiled slightly and responded: "Girl, you've come back just in time. I've been in the city for a long time and want to go back to Yaowang Valley. Why don't you come with me! All your senior brothers say they miss you.

!”

Jiang Yan responded, then motioned to the master to make the car and she would drive.

Then the two masters drove all the way to Yaowang Valley. On weekdays, Yaowang Valley is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth. This is not Jiang Yan’s first time here. She is the youngest apprentice in the master’s sect and the only one.

She is a female apprentice, so the senior brothers in Yaowang Valley are particularly fond of her.

When the car stopped steadily at the entrance of the valley, a group of men wearing green gowns and hairpins came out to greet them.

"Meet the master!"

"Junior sister, you are finally willing to come back to see us!"

"Tsk tsk, little junior sister is beautiful again!"

"Yes, the little junior sister looks pretty and fresh!"

...

Gu Jizi interrupted the group of disciples and pretended to be angry: "You heartless ones, my teacher finally came back, and you didn't serve me well, but you kept flattering me. Next time I won't take Jiang Yan with you."

came back!"

The leader grinned and said: "Master, we heard that you were coming back and we have prepared wine and food for you. Please don't be angry!"

"By the way, junior sister, please invite me too! Senior brother, you have prepared many gifts for you."

The senior brother whispered in Jiang Yan's ear, afraid that the master would hear him.

The eldest brother's name is Qin Guizi. He is over fifty today, but he looks like he is in his twenties. As for the second brother Duan Jinpeng, he is also in his forties. They all seem to have stayed in their twenties in appearance.

Jiang Yan was envious and wanted to ask about their health secrets.

Jiang Yan watched as several other senior brothers led the master into the living room, and then served him tea and water. Gu Jizi enjoyed the special care from his disciples. After having a good meal and wine, he planned to check on the disciples.

level of refining medicine.

"Gui Zi, come first if you want!"

"Yes, master!"

After Qin Guizi accepted the order, he began to refine the elixir. He carefully put various herbs into the alchemy furnace, and then used spiritual fire to slowly melt the herbs.

In the alchemy furnace, because of the existence of the talisman array, even if the plant essence is extracted, it will not flow out of the alchemy furnace. Of course, the talisman array in the alchemy furnace cannot prevent the fragrance of the elixir from escaping, so the entire valley is soon filled with

Has a strong medicinal aroma.

Three hours passed, and Qin Guizi finally successfully refined a batch of first-order low-grade elixir.

"Master, please review!" Qin Guizi handed the elixir to Gu Jizi.

Gu Jizi was distracted by the investigation, nodded with satisfaction, and then continued the assessment: "Gui Zi, your alchemy level is considered to be passing, but if you want to improve, you still need to work hard. Now try your spiritual cultivation technique and leave as a teacher.

I’ve been in the valley for so long, and I don’t know how your spiritual cultivation skills have become!”

Qin Guizi responded, then fetched a basin of soil and sowed seeds in the basin.

He started the spirit-nurturing technique in an orderly manner, and saw the seeds in the pot sprouting slowly. It took a full hour to fully bloom before the seeds fully bloomed.

At this time, Qin Guizi was sweating profusely, and it seemed that he had tried his best.

Gu Jizi signaled that he could stop, so Qin Guizicai had no choice but to stop.

"Gui Zi, your spiritual cultivation skills are still not much improved compared to the last time. I think you should not just practice blindly. If you go to the mortal world and practice some, you may be able to improve a lot."

"I will obey my master's orders!"

Qin Guizi felt a little uncomfortable at this time. It was not that he had not tried hard, but that no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't improve his spiritual cultivation skills quickly.

Next, Gu Jizi assessed several other disciples, and their performance was mediocre. However, he was not angry, but sighed helplessly: "You don't have to blame yourself. This is the end of the Dharma era, and spiritual power has been exhausted. If the saint

Unless the king comes out, none of us can escape the fate of reincarnation."

Qin Guizi asked in confusion: "Master, you have been looking for the Holy King for a day or two, but where is the news about the Holy King? If there is no Holy King, wouldn't it be possible for us to move forward in our lives? Besides, Holy King

Since Wang also lives in this era and faces the same problem of spiritual exhaustion as we do, how can he get out of the predicament?"

His question is also the doubt of several other brothers. Yes, the depletion of spiritual power caused by the Dharma Ending Age cannot only target one person or a group of people, but all cultivation sects on the earth. They do not believe in the Holy Spirit.

The appearance of the king can lead everyone out of the predicament, let alone the existence of the holy king.

It’s just that Gu Jizi has never doubted his own inference. He has also lived for hundreds of years, and the inferences left by his predecessors are highly consistent with his own. In this case, the Holy King has not yet appeared. There is only one possibility, then

It was the Holy King who was affected by the fate of the country that eventually led to the Holy King having to hide temporarily.

The national destiny cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Today, China seems to be economically prosperous and nationally powerful, but the actual situation is that the entire country is still in the development stage of a middle-to-lower country.

You must know that the population base of China is so large that after even distribution, many things are actually much less than other countries. Regarding the current situation in China, Gujizi does not have much to do. After all, as a cultivator, he cannot interfere with mortals.

In affairs, only the continuous efforts of ordinary people can make the entire country's economy more prosperous and prosperous.

It stands to reason that when China's economy recovers and the country prospers, saints should appear soon, but this is not the case. With the development of mechanical civilization, spiritual power collapses, which makes it difficult for saints to grow up. So the development of mechanical civilization

This is not a good thing. This rapidly developing civilization will not only lead to changes in the entire social environment, but also changes in the entire natural environment of the earth. This change is not positive, but regressive and even harmful.

For example, in the West, where mechanical civilization is developed, many people use a large amount of ripening agents for fruits and vegetables for their own selfish purposes. In addition, various poultry and animals also use a large amount of hormones and antibiotics, which makes people eat these vegetables.

After eating poultry, their mental functions have undergone serious changes, such as premature puberty, brittle bones, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc.

In Eastern China, due to the invasion of Western culture, Chinese civilization was severely damaged, so that many people's thoughts and food culture also changed, so the emergence of saints was also hindered.

Back to business!

Gu Jizi looked at these disciples helplessly and responded: "I can understand your suspicion, but my teacher can tell you in a very serious and responsible manner that if you want to further your cultivation, you must find the Holy King. My teacher made this decision many years ago

I have told you that when heaven and earth are married, the Holy King comes out; when heaven and earth are bright, the Holy King hides; when the Holy King goes out, the gate of heaven opens. Only the saint king appears in this world can the gate of heaven be opened. If the gate of heaven is not opened, none of us can break the relationship between heaven and earth.

Seal the shackles. You can continue to improve your cultivation now. After the spiritual power is recovered, everyone can be prepared. This may be our last chance. If you feel that Feixian is not worth the effort, don't force it as a teacher."

After listening, all the disciples lowered their heads and said that they were wrong. They did not expect that the master had worked hard for so many years just to ascend to the immortal world, but could this really be achieved?

Gu Jizi did not want to continue to explain too much. After all, everyone has his own way and destiny. If you want to be a master, you must work hard, and if you want to ascend to the immortal world, you need to put in more efforts.

This time Gu Jizi returned to Yaowang Valley not only to test the alchemy level of his disciples, but also to repair the entire Spirit Gathering Formation in Yaowang Valley. This formation previously needed to be repaired every ten years.

, but now earthquakes are common, and this needs to be repaired every five years.

He took Jiang Yan to the needle eye of the spirit gathering formation, and then began to form seals to repair the formation.

As the formation seals were punched into the formation eyes one by one, the originally somewhat damaged spirit gathering formation began to be repaired, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed towards the valley at a faster speed. At this time, Jiang Yan could clearly feel the surge of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and she felt that the spiritual power in her body followed.

Accelerate the flow and feel indescribable joy in my heart.

"Master, the spiritual power of this world is magical. I suddenly feel that I can successfully build the foundation at any time."

"You girl have been with me for several years, but you still haven't been able to successfully build the foundation. It's my teacher's fault, and it's also because the earth's spiritual power is too thin, otherwise you wouldn't be like this."

"Master, is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before really much richer than now?"

"Haha, I don't know how to tell you, but when I was practicing, my spiritual power was stronger than it is now. If not for this, I wouldn't be able to become a Nascent Soul monk. It is said that the spiritual power in ancient times is what it is today.

Hundreds of times, some people are golden elixir monks when they are born. In the more distant ancient world, the spiritual power of heaven and earth is 10,000 times what it is now, and many people are Mahayana monks when they are born."

...

Jiang Yan looked at her master suspiciously. She couldn't believe that she was born as a Mahayana monk, because as far as he knew, there was probably no one with this level of cultivation in the entire earth.

Just as Gu Jizi's cultivation level can be regarded as a land immortal, then how powerful are the Mahayana masters with stronger cultivation levels?

Seeing her disbelief, Gu Jizi took her into a secret realm in Yaowang Valley. No one had been here for a long time, and they saw a sealed stone gate deep in the secret realm. On the stone gate were engraved three words "Youlan Cave"

With a large ancient character, when you open the stone door, a scent of fragrance will hit your face.

"It smells so good!" Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh.

Gu Jizi did not explain, but took her into Youlan Cave. This cave is frozen all year round, so the fifty meters around the cave are cool.

"Master, what is that?" Suddenly Jiang Yan saw a huge strange beast appearing on the stone wall not far away.

Gu Jizi explained: "That is your master's mount, the four-winged golden roc!"

Jiang Yan walked over to check, and sure enough she found that this strange beast had two pairs of wings. The golden wings were still clear in the thick ice.

"Is it dead?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.

"No! It's just sleeping! It will wake up when the Holy King appears." Gu Jizi explained helplessly.

He had seen this strange beast before, when he was still very young, only ten years old. Now, more than a hundred years later, it is still the same as before.

Then Gu Jizi led Jiang Yan to a spiritual platform, which was also frozen. Through the ice, a figure could be vaguely seen. This person was wearing white plain clothes, with black hair and a long beard.

He looked like he was in his fifties. Before Jiang Yan could ask, Gu Jizi motioned Jiang Yan to kneel down and bow.

After prostrating, Gu Jizi explained: "Girl, this is your master Ziyun Taoist! When he was ten years old, he froze himself, and then left a spiritual consciousness to help me practice. Now that a hundred years have passed, his

This divine consciousness has long since dissipated, so you must find the Holy King as soon as possible, otherwise in another hundred years, your master will completely dissipate and disappear."

"Master, this disciple will definitely try his best to find the Holy King!" Jiang Yan responded seriously.

After Gu Jizi also bowed to his master, he continued to take Jiang Yan deep into the Orchid Cave. Soon they saw the second strange beast. This strange beast was called a two-headed golden crystal lion. There was also a spiritual platform not far from it.

It's just that there is no ice on this spiritual platform, and there is only a withered skeleton on the spiritual platform.

"Girl, this is your great master, Taoist Yunmeng. Kowtow to him quickly!"

Jiang Yan nodded, then came to the withered bones and kowtowed three times to Grand Master.

Seeing Jiang Yan finish kowtowing, Gu Jizi explained: "Your great master has been away for five hundred years. He did not catch up with the last saint king's ascension, so he can only regretfully wait for the birth of the next saint king.

.It’s just that he waited hard for three hundred years, but in the end he still couldn’t wait for the Holy King to come to the world.”
