The Beggar King also said with a mouth full of sourness: "Looking at the cultivation level of fellow Taoist Qingyang, I'm afraid he started practicing ten years ago, right? How old was he at that time? This immortal luck is really enviable.
"
Qingyang has only been exposed to cultivating immortals for more than a month, but if he adds up the time he spent practicing martial arts with his master, it would be ten years. This Beggar King's vision is still very poisonous.
Among the casual cultivators present, except for Liang Zhongtian, who is relatively young, the others are all in their thirties to forties. Some of them came into contact with the immortal way relatively late, and some of them left because there was no one to guide them.
There are many detours, but most of them are due to limited qualifications, insufficient cultivation resources, and difficulty in improving cultivation. Only at such an old age can one cultivate to the sixth or seventh level of the Pulse Opening Realm.
For monks, age is very important. Once it passes a certain limit, their qualifications will become worse, it will be more difficult to practice, and the chance of breakthrough will be smaller when they encounter bottlenecks. At their age, in the future,
His achievements are limited. Unless he encounters some incredible opportunity, he will never be able to break through to the Qi refining stage in this life.
He started practicing ten years ago, which means that Qingyang had his immortal luck when he was five or six years old. He didn't waste any time and didn't go through any detours. This is much better than them. Don't look at Qingyang's cultivation.
Because he is the lowest here, but he is young, has more time than others, has more opportunities in the future, and has a bright future. How can he not be envious?
However, this was not a place for conversation. The few casual cultivators did not exchange too many greetings with him, and directly asked Qingyang if he wanted to go to Hong Mantian's residence with everyone.
It was also the first time for Qingyang to come into contact with immortal cultivators who were similar to himself. He wanted to see how other cultivators interacted with each other, and at the same time, he also wanted to share his cultivation experience with everyone and gain some perspective and knowledge, so he directly agreed to talk to everyone.
go together.
Qingyang has already made a calculation in his mind. This is the first time for everyone to meet, and they are very wary of each other. It is unlikely that anyone will have any evil intentions, and it is even less likely that they will join forces to target him alone. Safety can also be guaranteed.
.
Seeing that Qingyang had no objection, Hong Mantian directly led the way, and several others followed him out of the Tiger Gang's station, leaving the mess at the scene to the Tiger Gang and Hu Xiaozhong.
Four of the five masters of the Tiger Gang were killed and one was injured, and nearly half of the middle-level strength was lost. It can be said to be a heavy loss. The world is always very cruel, and it is difficult to guarantee that some force will take advantage of it. Fortunately, Hu Xiaozhong also has the support of Baimatang.
, and Hu Xiaodong attended the Immortal Knocking Conference as a deterrent. As long as other gangs do not unite, there should be no danger of the gang being wiped out.
But these have nothing to do with Qingyang. How Hu Xiaozhong succeeded as the leader of the Tiger Gang, how the Tiger Gang dealt with the current situation, and how to deal with the threats from other gangs after the Tiger Gang's strength was greatly reduced, I won't go into detail here.
The group of people followed Hong Mantian out of Kaiyuanfu City, and then walked north along the road for more than two hours. It was not until the sun turned west that Hong Mantian turned around and led everyone back to the Jinsha River.
In a bend of the Jinsha River, there was a small boat parked, and a white-haired old servant was waiting on it. When he saw Hong Mantian coming, the old servant quickly came over to say hello. This old servant was Hong Mantian's servant.
Hong Man went to Kaiyuan Mansion to do some work, and he and Xiaozhou were waiting here.
Hong Mantian didn't say much, he just waved to the old servant, and then asked everyone to get on the boat. Then the old servant punted the boat and headed towards the river. A quarter of an hour later, the boat stopped at the edge of an island in the middle of the river.
On the boat, the old servant stopped the boat, and Hong Mantian called everyone to board the island in the middle of the river.
The area of the island in the center of the river is not large, with a length and width of only 40 to 50 feet, and a total area of less than 30 acres. Most of the island is covered by trees, and only in the center of the island is an inconspicuous building.
The courtyard has only two entrances, front and back, and only a dozen rooms.
The surrounding trees are lush and lush, completely blocking the small courtyard. If you don't come to the island, you won't find anyone living here at all. It is a private courtyard with an elegant environment and no one to disturb it. It is a good place for monks to live in seclusion.
Hong Mantian introduced as he walked: "There are only three people living on this island: me, my son and the old servant. The old servant has opened a small piece of fertile land outside the yard. He can be self-sufficient in food and other things, except for sometimes going to Kaiyuanfu City.
Buy some necessities, we rarely go to the island."
The Beggar King looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder even I, the Beggar King, have never heard of Fellow Daoist Hong. It turns out that you live in seclusion on this island. This is indeed a good place for meditation and cultivation, which is better than what I have in Kaiyuanfu City."
That Huaziwo is much better."
Ding Gong also said: "Yes, our husband and wife have no fixed place and have been wandering around all year round, which has delayed our cultivation. We should find a place like this later to improve our cultivation."
"The environment here is good, but it is isolated from the world, with little communication with others, and the cultivation resources cannot be replenished. We can only work behind closed doors, and the improvement of cultivation is very slow." Hong Mantian shook his head and said.
After talking for a while, the door of the courtyard suddenly opened, and a child of about ten years old walked out of the courtyard. This child was Hong Mantian's son, Hong Shenghe. He heard his father's voice and came out to greet him. Hong Shenghe had seen him.
The seniors present were dismissed by his father, and then Hong Mantian led everyone into the main hall.
After everyone sat down, the Beggar King sighed and said: "This time I really suffered a big loss. Not only did I not grab the Immortal Kowling Token, but I also wasted a Diamond Defense Talisman. It's really unlucky."
When Ding Gong heard what he said, he also curled his lips and said: "You are already good enough. My wife was shot by a crossbow arrow. If she hadn't happened to have an antidote pill in her hand, maybe our husband and wife would have died this time."
Heaven and man are separated."
At this time, the lame Taoist also said: "Who didn't suffer any loss? My Taoist robe is a low-grade magic weapon, and it is defensive. It was shot by nearly ten crossbow arrows at the same time. The defensive ability was reduced by at least 10 to 20%. I don't know when.
It can be repaired."
Qingyang didn't show his head at that time, so there was no loss. However, the people here are all seniors in the casual cultivating world. Qingyang's cultivation level is not high and he doesn't know much, so he can only keep silent, listen more and speak less.
Hong Mantian also nodded and said: "I didn't expect that Hu Zhentai was so decisive in his work and actually deceived everyone. This time we can be regarded as stealing the chicken but losing the rice. I don't know what Hu Xiaodong will be able to do in the future.
If we can't cultivate anything famous, if Hu Xiaodong comes back one day after completing his studies, I'm afraid we will all be forced to flee."
