Chapter 212: Our Master and Disciple Have a Hard Life

Murong Ji looked up and saw his master Tian Buyi walking into the room. He quickly stood up and said, "Master, you are here."

Tian Buyi sat directly on the chair, picked up the tea poured by Murong Ji, took a sip, put it aside, and then said: "Don't you want to learn a magic?"

Murong Ji's eyes lit up, and before he could say anything, Tian Buyi said, "From the way I see you fight, your sword energy is sharp, but it's disorganized. Although the sword energy you stimulate can be used at will, it also gives the opponent a chance to breathe."

"I have picked out a magic trick for you, take a look at it." As he said this, he took out a book from his arms.

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, took it and looked at it. It was still a sword formation, but it was different from the one Qi Hao had.

The sword energy is endless, and the formation against the enemy is full of power and method.

"Most of the Qingyun Sect's sword formations are derived from the Zhuxian Sword Formation. They are based on the Seven Peaks and gather spiritual energy to transform into sword energy, making them invincible in the world. You must practice well. This formation is not much weaker than the Four Great Sword Techniques."

Murong Jiliang nodded quickly and made assurances repeatedly.

After seeing Tian Buyi off, Murong Ji immediately opened the book and started looking for the details.

After a few more days, the eldest brother's health improved a lot and he was able to walk around, but Zhang Xiaofan still hadn't woken up.

Murong Ji checked his pulse and found out that there was nothing wrong, just some injured meridians, and he would be fine after sleeping for a few days.

When Murong Ji had nothing to do on Tongtian Peak, he began to practice sword formation. He already had the foundation of formation, and he had been studying it every day for more than ten years, so he got the hang of it quickly.

But if you want to reach the same power as Qi Hao, you still need to practice harder.

"Brother Murong, the headmaster wants you to come over."

"coming."

After going out, he followed the disciple into a courtyard. This was not the Yuqing Palace, but the elders' villa.

In front of you is Daoxuan’s residence.

After entering the house, he immediately bowed to Daoxuan when he saw him, "Master, how are you?"

Daoxuan nodded with a smile, put on his dark Taoist robe and said, "Although the Pufang Mirror has been refined by you, it still retains some of its original abilities. I asked you to come here today to pass on the formula to you."

"Please come over here."

Murong Ji bowed and leaned forward.

After getting the formula, he bowed to Daoxuan again, "Thank you, Master."

Daoxuan waved his hand and said, "Come with me to the warehouse later to get some spiritual materials and see what kind of magic weapons you can refine."

Murong Ji was stunned. Does this mean he has to do the work himself, just like his master, who is an old hand at refining pills?
Daoxuan said: "From now on, you can go and get spiritual material veins at will, but there is a prerequisite. Please listen to it."

Murong Ji bowed his head and listened quietly.

"How about you take as many spiritual materials as possible and return 30% of the magic weapons to me in the future?"

Murong Ji was startled, thinking in his mind that this deal was a good deal, and he could make a lot of money from it. "Disciple will follow the orders of the head master."

Daoxuan smiled, said nothing more, and walked out of the yard with Murong Ji.

The warehouse of Qingyun Sect was very rich, and Murong Ji was almost dazzled by the choices. There were materials from all over the world, even a lot of rare materials for refining the Nine Heavens Divine Weapons.

After thinking about it, I decided to find the materials to refine the Dao Banner first.

Daoxuan looked at Murong Ji who was constantly searching, and said with some emotion: "Magic weapons are hard to find, and elixirs are hard to make. Both of them can reduce the pressure on people like us who practice Taoism."

At this point, Daoxuan suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Murong, tell me, why are magic weapons so important to cultivators like us?"

Murong Ji popped his head out from among the spiritual material veins and said, "To assist in cultivation."

Daoxuan was stunned by these four words, and then he laughed, "Hahaha, that's right, it is indeed an auxiliary practice."

Lu Xueqi's cultivation progress was extremely fast and her foundation was solid. She was able to trigger such powerful sword techniques as the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder Technique at the eighth level of Jade Purity, which showed her ability.

Among them, her own aptitude is one aspect, and the other aspect is the effect brought by the Tianya Sword. The nurturing of each generation of masters makes this sword spiritual, and then assists the master in cultivation.

Suddenly, Daoxuan sighed, "But magic weapons are hard to come by. In my Qingyun Sect, there are 3,000 people who have broken into the fourth level of Yuqing, but not everyone has a magic weapon that suits them."

"It's not that spiritual materials are hard to find, but it's hard to refine instruments. Once you get the spiritual materials, you don't know where to start. Not to mention refining some magic weapon to assist in cultivation."

"The Demon Cult's blood refining method is to deepen the connection between oneself and the magic weapon, so as to achieve the purpose of assisting cultivation."

"But the means are violent. Often, after a magic weapon has been passed down through one generation of masters, the next generation of masters will have to work very hard to achieve the same effect. What's worse, some will be harmed by the magic weapon."

Murong Ji was annoyed to death listening to Daoxuan's chattering, but the key was that he couldn't argue with him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Finally found the material I wanted.

This is a kind of cloud brocade, made from the same material as the poisonous blood flag. It is enough to use this thing to refine one's own Tao flag.

Murong Ji was very excited and tried to take as much as he could, but Daoxuan was watching him, so he didn't dare to take too much.

Then I selected some auxiliary materials and was about to stop.

Suddenly, Daoxuan asked, "Can't you see the problem with that Soul Devouring Stick?" Murong Ji's hand froze while he was selecting materials. After a long silence, he stood up and said, "My disciple is arrogant. Since the master asked, I will tell you. If I say something inappropriate, please forgive me."

Seeing Daoxuan nod, Murong Ji then said: "That stick looks like a demon from the Demon Sect, but in my opinion, it is a rare treasure that helps in cultivation."

Daoxuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked, "How do you say it?"

"The evil spirit of the stick itself, or to be more precise, the evil spirit at the beginning, did not have any evil and bloodthirsty attributes. Uh, I wonder if you, uncle-master..."

"go on."

"Yes, I have investigated the place where the Soul Devouring Stick appeared. It was placed there intentionally. In other words, after the founder of the sect died in a battle with the demon, someone went to look for it."

"And arrange a method to use the evil energy of the world in Qingyun Mountain to restore the original evil energy of the Soul Devouring Stick. If it succeeds, then draw out the evil energy in the body..."

Having said this, Murong Ji did not say any more. He just wanted Daoxuan to understand that there was no problem with the origin of the Soul-Devouring Stick.

“In that case, this magic weapon is rare, but it is the fortune of our Qingyun Sect.” Daoxuan felt relieved. If this kind of rare treasure has a clean origin and is not evil, it can be a good thing that can be passed down in the sect.

“It’s just that…” Murong Ji bowed again and said, “Master, I am lucky enough to be able to see that there are many learned people in the Demon Sect. I am afraid… there is also the person who arranged the sticks…”

Daoxuan did not speak for a long time. Murong Ji bowed and continued to dance with the materials.

"There are still two months until your mission, so you might as well get more materials. I actually hope you get more."

Murong Ji nodded, took some materials for refining the magic sword, and then left the warehouse.

When I returned to the disciple courtyard, Zhang Xiaofan had already woken up and was moving his body slowly.

Second Brother and his companions were packing up, as they were going back to Dazhu Peak today.

"Seventh Junior Brother, are you back? Master is looking for you."

Murong Ji put the things down and said, "I'll go find the master now."

Arriving in front of the master's door, he bowed and said, "Master, the disciple is back."

"come in."

Murong Ji pushed the door open and walked in. Tian Buyi happened to be sitting on a chair. He asked, "Is the head brother looking for you?"

"Well, they want me to refine a magic weapon and hand it over to the sect."

Tian Buyi sighed, "Our lives as master and disciple are very hard."

Murong Ji opened his mouth, but couldn't respond. What should he say? He simply shut up.

"Sit down, let's talk as master and disciple."

"It's master."

Sit next to Tian Buyi and listen quietly.

"Two months later, when Xiaofan and the others have recovered from their injuries, you will go down the mountain to carry out the mission. You know about this, right?"

"Disciple knows."

"Well, I want to warn you a few things. This time when you go down the mountain, everything is subject to Qi Hao. You are not allowed to conflict with him."

Murong Ji was startled, and when he was about to ask why, Tian Buyi said it himself, "Qi Hao is seventy-six years old this year. When he had achieved a small level of cultivation, he followed Xiao Yicai of Changmen down the mountain several times."

"After that, he also led a team down the mountain alone, and his experience is much richer than yours. Your cultivation level is similar to his, but some things cannot be solved by having a high cultivation level, you understand."

Murong understood very well and nodded, saying, "Disciple understands the principle here."

"Well, the training location this time is the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats, which was the seat of the Blood Refining Hall eight hundred years ago. The periphery has long been cleared by fellow righteous disciples, and there have been explorations since then, so it's not a big deal."

"Some of them are just small fish and shrimps, giving you some practice. Those Demon Sect masters have already been dealt with by Xiao Yicai and others."

At this point, Tian Buyi's expression changed, and he instantly became serious: "What I want to tell you is the Dead Soul Abyss below the Blood Refining Hall."

"Don't go down there, it's not a good place."

Murong Ji was stunned. In his memory, apart from the Black Water Serpent, there was no other danger?

"The danger here is that it is so vast and open that if you are not careful you will get lost in it. Even I may not be able to get out."

"The second is the ancient alien species and wandering spirits. If you see them, leave as soon as possible and do not provoke them."

Murong Ji wrote them down one by one. Now his strength was still weak, and his life was at stake. Then he thought about it and sighed secretly. He had to go down to the Dead Spirit Abyss because of the black-hearted old man's cultivation method.

After Tian Buyi finished explaining, he seemed to have thought of something and sighed, "What do you think about Xiaofan's matter?"

Murong Ji suddenly thought of the scene in Yuqing Palace not long ago, "Master, what do you want to ask?"

Tian Buyi did not give a direct answer, but said: "I will take Xiaofan to Tongtian Peak later."

Murong Ji was startled, and instantly understood what Tian Buyi meant. After thinking for a while, he said, "Master, are you worried about the Demon Cult's blood refining method?"
