Sun Xiaolan was accepted as a closed disciple by Li Lingfeng, so naturally she had to stay in Shushan.
Zhao Rui also temporarily stayed in Shushan, one reason is that it will take several months for Sun Xiaolan's physical condition to improve, which is a dangerous period, and he has to be on the sidelines to take good care of her.
Besides, since he has nothing to do anyway, why not stay with Sun Xiaolan in Shushan to prevent her from being squeezed out and bullied.
Zhao Rui stayed, and Dunche naturally followed suit.
Dunche still likes the place of Mount Shu. Apart from the beautiful scenery, it is also full of aura, and it is a blessed place very suitable for cultivation.
During this period of time, Zhao Rui was not in a hurry to cultivate.
Because, his "Eight Desolation Killing Immortal Art" has just stepped into the middle stage of split body. If he wants to enter the late stage of split body, it will take a long time to practice, so there is no rush.
What he is most urgent now is to enter the Immortal and Demon Cemetery and open the eleventh level of the Immortal Tomb.
Due to his breakthrough in cultivation, he already has the ability to open a higher level of immortal tombs!
He eagerly wants to know what kind of miraculous treasures are hidden in the eleventh-level ancient fairy tomb! How powerful it can make him improve!
More than twenty days passed in a flash, and it was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the night of the full moon.
In the dead of night, Zhao Rui avoided the disciples of Shushan Mountain, came to the most remote mountain peak, took out the Tomb Entry Immortal Card, and let it absorb the moonlight.
According to past experience, if the Tomb Immortal Card absorbed enough moonlight, the ancient stone gate would be opened, allowing him to enter the Immortal and Demon Cemetery.
However, today's moonlight seems to be particularly dim, and the moonlight is also very thin. The immortal tablet of the tomb has been bathed in the moonlight all night, until the golden rooster crowed and the sky was twilight, but it still did not gain enough energy to open the ancient stone gate. .
Zhao Rui couldn't help being very surprised, he had never encountered such a situation before.
In the past few times, it didn't take long for the Tomb Immortal Card to absorb enough moonlight, but this time, it didn't absorb enough in one night!
How is this going
How did the moonlight get so dim? How could the concentration of moonlight become so thin
While Zhao Rui was surprised, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It was with great difficulty that he cultivated the "Eight Desolation Killing Immortal Art" to the middle stage of splitting, hoping to enter the fairy and demon cemetery and obtain even more powerful ancient treasures.
Who would have thought that today would fail because of insufficient moonlight!
Fortunately, on the night of the full moon, there is no need to wait too long. It will appear again in the middle of the lunar calendar next month.
Therefore, Zhao Rui didn't feel depressed, and the most he could do was wait another month. For a cultivator, a month flies by in a flash, and it is nothing.
However, what he didn't expect was that the moonlight was still dim for several months, and the moonlight was still thin, making it impossible to open the ancient stone gate.
Zhao Rui couldn't help feeling that this situation seemed a little abnormal, but he didn't know why such a strange situation occurred.
So, he started to ask around, but found that this kind of situation had never happened before, and even Li Lingfeng, who was a peak powerhouse, couldn't explain it.
Zhao Rui was full of doubts. He didn't know whether this strange situation was a natural phenomenon or man-made.
If it doesn't last long, it doesn't matter, if it lasts a long time, it's very troublesome.
Because, without enough moonlight, he will not be able to enter the fairy and demon cemetery!
Zhao Rui felt that it was necessary for him to fully understand why this phenomenon occurred and when it would end.
Zhao Rui sat on the top of the peak at night, looking up at the dim full moon in the sky, and was planning how to start the investigation.
He suddenly heard a burst of piercing sound in his ear, he turned his head to look, and saw Master Xuanling hurriedly flying over by the wind.
"Master Xuanling, what happened that made you so anxious?" Zhao Rui asked in surprise.
Master Xuan Ling flew in front of Zhao Rui, without landing, he hovered in mid-air, and replied: "Fellow Daoist Zhao Rui, I'm here to say goodbye to you, I have to return to the Artifact Sect immediately."
"Did something happen to the Artifact Refining Sect?" Zhao Rui was even more surprised. Master Xuanling was indifferent to fame and wealth, with a weird personality, and never cared much about the internal affairs of the Artifact Sect.
But now, they are in a hurry to go back. It is obvious that something major has happened inside the sect.
Master Xuanling said with a sullen face: "Yes! Recently, many disciples of the Artifact Refining Sect have been attacked. Some even sneaked into the Artifact Refining Sect and stole a large number of precious spiritual weapons and treasures of heaven and earth, including me. My nephew, the master of the Artifact Refining Sect, was seriously injured in the fight with the bandits, so I have to go back quickly and preside over the overall situation."
Zhao Rui frowned. Although members of the Artifact Refining Sect are not very strong in personal cultivation, the magic weapons they forge are extremely powerful, which is enough to make up for their lack of cultivation.
In addition, the Artifact Refining Sect often sells spiritual weapons to other cultivators and various monsters. They have good interpersonal relationships and are deeply respected by all parties.
Now someone actually attacked the disciples of the Artifact Refining School and stole the spirit weapon of the Artifact Refining School!
Who would have such courage, wouldn't they be afraid of causing public wrath
He asked: "Master Xuanling, do you know who did it?"
Master Xuanling shook his head and said: "I haven't found out yet, but according to the rumors in the cultivation world, it may be the work of the Demon Sect. Since the people of the Demon Sect have been active in the cultivation world since the Dragon Palace seized the treasure, it seems that there are already many sects. There was a conflict with members of the Demon Sect, and he was attacked by the Demon Sect, causing heavy casualties. Hmph, could it be that this Demon Emperor is ambitious and wants to stir up another bloodbath in the realm of comprehension
Alright, Fellow Daoist Zhao Rui, I am in a hurry to return to the Artifact Sect, so I will stop talking and leave. "
After finishing speaking, Master Xuanling clasped his fists to Zhao Rui, then turned around and left Yufeng.
Zhao Rui looked at Master Xuanling's receding figure and fell into deep thought.
The Demon Sect can be called the most mysterious sect in the cultivation world. Not only is the cultivation method weird and terrifying, but the power is also enormous.
Under the strong leadership of the previous Demon Emperor, the Demon Sect once became the strongest force in the cultivation world, almost dominating the entire cultivation world, making all the sects of cultivators change their colors.
Later, all sects in the comprehension world were "forced" by the Demon Sect to have nowhere to go, and they couldn't bear it.
Therefore, under the leadership of the three famous sects of Shushan Sword Sect, Longhushan Tianshidao and Longyin Temple, they launched a counterattack.
The two sides went through a series of battles, and finally defeated Mozong.
However, all sects also paid a huge price.
Not only the cultivators of various factions and sects suffered heavy losses, but even the heads of the three famous sects perished together with the Devil Emperor.
And the battle for hegemony that year established the current situation in the cultivation world.
Zhang Songli of Tianshi Dao, Li Lingfeng of the Shushan Sword Sect, and Master Tianyin of Longyin Temple, after the death of the head teacher, took over the position and supported the crisis. Finally, their respective sects turned the crisis into safety, developed again, and became a new generation. the peak powerhouse.
Mozong retreated to Yunzhong Mountain after his vitality was seriously injured, and has been dormant until now, rarely walking around in the cultivation world.
Perhaps it was the lessons learned from the past, or it might be the loss of the Demon Sect. The current Demon Emperor is extremely low-key and easily forbids the members of the Demon Sect to go out.
So far, the vast majority of practitioners in the cultivation world don't know whether the current devil emperor is a man or a woman, and what level of cultivation he has reached.
However, the previous Demon Emperor was so tyrannical, and the current Demon Emperor's strength will never be too weak. Otherwise, those strong people in the Demon Sect will never be convinced.
Now, the Demon Sect, which has been dormant for a long time, is about to move again.
Does this mean that after nearly a thousand years of cultivation, the Demon Sect has regained its vitality and is ready to compete for supremacy in the cultivation world again
If this is the case, then there will be another bloodbath in the cultivation world.
Zhao Rui had dealt with the Demon Sect in the ruins of the Dragon Palace, and met two Six Path Mages of the Demon Sect.
His image of Mozong can't be called bad, but since Zha Zhongxing is also one of the six magicians, his impression of Mozong can't be called very good.
It's just that Mozong doesn't seem to be as bloody as the rumors say. Like that Li Moshi, he is more rational and looks more gentle.
Of course, Zha Zhongxing was an exception, that guy was like a mad dog, he would bite anyone he saw.
Zhao Rui recalled the situation of the Mozong, and suddenly thought, this moonlight is dim, could it have any connection with the Mozong
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence
When the moonlight is dim, it happens to be the time when the disciples of the Demon Sect are active
Of course, there may be other reasons for the dim moonlight, but this "possibility" is not completely non-existent.
Zhao Rui has been in the realm of comprehension for so long, and he has already understood a truth.
In the world of comprehension, even the most incredible things can happen.
He began to think about whether he needed to investigate carefully to see if there was any connection between Mozong and Yuehuaqiu.
Even if the Mozong is in the world of comprehension, he can turn a blind eye to the ups and downs, but when it comes to his own interests, he can't just keep silent like this.
Zhao Rui thought about it for a long time, until dawn, and then returned to his residence with the wind.
When passing by the Golden Lotus Hall, he found that on the huge bluestone square outside the Golden Lotus Hall, Sun Xiaolan was dancing swords there, practicing Shushan Sword School, the most basic entry-level sword art.
The sword light flickered, and the sword shadow was heavy, Sun Xiaolan was shrouded in the sword light, looking from a distance, it looked like a dark blue light ball.
Li Lingfeng, the head teacher of Shushan Sword Sect, stood aside, urging and guiding.
At this time, three months had passed, and Sun Xiaolan had undergone the Yijing marrow washing, her meridians were dredged, and her physique changed successfully.
Although it is not as good as those cultivators who are born with extremely high talents, there is no problem in practicing Shushan Sword School's skills, it's just a matter of progress.
After Sun Xiaolan's physique improved, Li Lingfeng began to teach her Shushan Sword Art personally, and personally guided her to practice every morning.
Today is no exception.
Seeing that Sun Xiaolan was practicing diligently, Zhao Rui didn't want to disturb her, so he just greeted Li Lingfeng from afar and went back to his residence.
Li Lingfeng gave Zhao Rui a slight nod in return, but he didn't tell Sun Xiaolan so as not to distract Sun Xiaolan.
