"I have known this news for a long time. There is actually a Phoenix secret realm in Fengcheng. I have been here once before and could not find the entrance. I went back and checked the ancient books. The requirements for entering the secret realm are very strict. A man and a woman are required to enter the secret realm at the same time. , and they must all be perfect, so I gave up." Tang Qingshan said.
"Uh, master, are you married?" Shen Li asked.
"Yes, but my wife is no longer alive." Tang Qingshan said melancholy, as if falling into memories.
"I'm sorry, Master, I shouldn't have mentioned your sad past." Shen Li apologized hastily.
"It's okay, it's just some old things, it's okay to mention them." Tang Qingshan said with a relieved smile.
"Master, I ate the golden dragon crucian carp at the Xiao family and obtained the acquired spiritual root." Shen Li quickly changed the subject.
"You are so lucky. In this case, you can use your identity as an immortal cultivator to disguise yourself to prevent your identity as a martial arts cultivator from being exposed." Tang Qingshan said.
"Master, when you go to the Alchemist Guild to save me this time, aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?" Shen Li asked in confusion.
"Low-level immortal cultivators cannot see through the cultivation of high-level practitioners. Although I have not released my true energy, they can understand that I don't bother to use my own true energy to deal with them. I only need to induce the true energy between heaven and earth." Well, in addition, the number of martial cultivators is rare and they rarely move around in the world, so ordinary immortal cultivators do not think about this." Tang Qingshan explained.
"Then do I need to practice some of the methods of an immortal cultivator now?" Shen Li asked.
"Yes, with this layer of identity cover, it can better protect you from being wiped out when you are weak. It will also be helpful for you to join a sect of immortal cultivators and auxiliary cultivators, such as the steel mountain sect of control class, cure diseases and alchemy. The Alchemist Guild, the Beast Control Sect, these are all very good." Tang Qingshan said.
"My impression of alchemists is not very good. Let's go to the Beast Control Sect and get a mount, Dorawind." Shen Li said.
"The Beast Control Sect is in Zhongzhou. If you go from here, you have to cross the Soraya Mountains, pass through the Saha Desert, and pass through the 200,000-mile-long forest. This is the boundary of Zhongzhou. If you go to the far north, it will be a little closer. A little, but the risk factor is higher." Tang Qingshan said.
"This is too far, so let's go to Gangshan Sect. It's relatively close. Looking at the map, it's in the north of Chuyun Empire." Shen Li added.
"The Gangshan sect in Zhongzhou is a time-honored one. The one in Chuyun Empire was actually founded by a disciple who came back from Zhongzhou hundreds of years ago." Tang Qingshan touched the bridge of his nose and said.
"Then I will go to the Qingyun Sect first, and then when I have the strength, I will go to Zhongzhou to become a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect or the Steel Mountain Sect," Shen Li said.
"Okay, you say goodbye to your father and your friends. I'll take you to the Soraya Mountains first. I'm close to a breakthrough and I need to retreat for some time recently." Tang Qingshan said.
"Congratulations, Master. Thank you, Master. Master, please wait a moment. I will go and say goodbye."
Shen Li first went to the Xiao family to meet the third elder. After all, the third elder and the fourth elder took good care of him. They also ate the Xiao family's golden dragon crucian carp and awakened the acquired spiritual roots.
"Boy Shen, how is your friend Liu Lin doing?" the third elder asked.
"I thanked Third Grandpa and Fourth Grandpa on behalf of Liu Lin. After taking the healing elixir given by Fourth Grandpa, his injuries healed quickly," Shen Li said.
The two of them were chatting in the pavilion in the lake when the fourth elder suddenly strode over.
"Shen Li, I have something to ask you." The fourth elder said.
"Why is Fourth Grandpa so anxious to find me?" Shen Li asked doubtfully.
The fourth elder first set up a soundproof barrier and said: "I received a tip saying that you and Liu Lin were put under house arrest by Zhang Boli, the president of the Alchemist Guild last night. I just went to him to argue, and he said that you and Liu Lin were under house arrest. You are a distinguished guest at their place and have gone back a long time ago. This guy is insidious and cunning. He didn't do anything to you, right?"
"We just went to see Liu Lin for his injuries. He was fine. He also gave us wine and medicine. I think he is quite a nice person," Shen Li said.
"As long as you're all right. Others don't understand him, so how can I understand him? Humph, this man is full of tricks, and he is an out-and-out smiling tiger! People have to be on guard against him." said the fourth elder.
"This man caused great harm to your fourth grandfather back then. He took advantage of the Alchemist's Guild's power, and we didn't get any concrete evidence, so the Xiao family has no choice but to endure this debt." The third elder said angrily.
"Well, I didn't expect Fourth Grandpa and President Zhang of the Alchemist Guild to have such a festive time." Shen Li said.
"Back then, I was still in the Tiangang Sect and was a golden elixir-level disciple. Zhang Boli was the elder in charge of elixir sales at the Fengcheng Branch of the Alchemist Guild. I was in charge of the Tiangang Sect's drug procurement. Because I didn't give him any kickbacks, he would Together with one of my disciples, he slipped a batch of defective elixirs into the medicines I bought, and framed me for passing off inferior medicines and embezzling the money for the medicines. As a result, I lost my position, and I left Tiangang in anger. Zong, under Zhang Boli's operation, the disciple who collaborated with him to frame me also successfully obtained the medicine purchasing position of Tiangang Zong." The fourth elder said angrily as if he was lost in memories.
"When I have the ability in the future, I will definitely avenge Fourth Grandpa!" Shen Liyi said angrily.
"Good boy, if you have such a heart, I will be very happy for your fourth grandfather." said the fourth elder.
"Boy Shen, you can continue to live in the Xiao family. The head of the family should be back soon. He will be very happy to see you." The third elder said.
"Third Grandpa, Fourth Grandpa, thank you for taking care of me. I have something very important and I have to leave immediately. I can't even wait for my father to leave with me. I will come back to visit your two grandfathers soon. You two Grandpa, take care." Shen Li said.
Seeing that Shen Li had decided to leave, the two elders no longer tried to persuade him to stay.
Returning to the inn, Shen Li said goodbye to his father Shen Wande and Liu Lin. Shen Wande warned Shen Li: "Be sure to listen to Master when you go out and pay attention to safety."
"I will, father." Shen Li said.
"You just need to rest assured and go practice with your master. Tomorrow I will set off with your father's motorcade and I will protect your father." Liu Lin said.
"Then please, Master Liu." Shen Li said.
"Don't call me sir, I can't afford it. Just call me Brother Liu." Liu Lin said with a bitter smile.
After Tang Qingshan led Shen Li out of Fengcheng, he walked westward.
"Master, don't you have a mobile magic weapon? Let's use it quickly while no one is around." Shen Li shook the bag on his back and said.
"This magic weapon of mine consumes a lot of money. If I take the two of us to the Soraya Mountains, it will cost at least several tons of low-grade spiritual stones. Can you produce the spiritual stones?" Tang Qingshan said.
"I don't have anything like a spiritual stone. Aren't they afraid that you will rush into seclusion to break through?" Shen Li said.
"It's okay, I can suppress my cultivation. The main reason is that I don't have many spirit stones now." Tang Qingshan said.
"Master, if you hadn't told me earlier, I would have asked my father to buy us two horses!" Shen Li was extremely disappointed.
