It was the first time Xie Zhou saw Shen Tingjun. Although he didn't know that this was a more senior and more essential demon cultivator than him, he keenly felt that this was a cultivator who was more difficult to get along with than Baitang.
Bai Tang took his soul, and Xie Zhou will be responsible for many things in the future, so she did not hide her relationship with Shen Tingjun from him. After Xie Zhou knew about it, he felt it was a matter of course.
"Did you give him the breath-holding formula?" Sitting in the car, Shen Tingjun asked in a voice that Xie Zhou could hear in front of him.
"His self-cultivation mentality is too poor, and his realm is low. If you don't give him the breath-holding formula, I'm afraid even a young monk who is full of breath can't hide it."
Shen Tingjun's eyes met Xie Zhou's eyes from the rearview mirror. The latter saw a pair of dark eyes from above, without any emotional fluctuations. It looked like a deep pool with no bottom to be seen, surrounded by only black.
Xie Zhou suddenly withdrew his gaze, holding the steering wheel with cold sweat. He restrained the palpitations rising from the bottom of his heart, and looked intently at the road ahead.
Only then did Shen Tingjun casually leave the rearview mirror and look sideways at Baitang, who curled his lips with a clear expression. He couldn't help but softened his expression and laughed, "You don't have to worry about that. I think the monks of the two sects probably don't have such a thing as Hope Qi Jue. As long as he doesn't do it, they won't know."
Xie Zhou's heart tightened when he heard this, he was afraid that Baitang would take back the breath-holding formula. When you don’t have the secret method of Concentrating Breath Jue, you don’t feel it. Only after you learn it will you realize how convenient it is to have a secret method of Concentrating Breath. As long as he didn't do anything, he could search for information anywhere in the Cloud Sect as if he had entered no man's land.
As for how to take back the secret technique that he had memorized in his mind, Xie Zhou had no doubts about Baitang's methods.
Xie Zhou's careful thinking was clear at a glance under the powerful perception of the two souls. Baitang knew that this was Shen Tingjun's deliberate intention, and the purpose was not to beat or intimidate, but because she didn't like her putting too much thought on an insignificant person. She smiled and didn't answer his words, instead she asked Xie Zhou: "How long will it take to arrive at the station?"
Xie Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "There are mountain roads over there, and you can only drive to the foot of the mountain. It will take about an hour and a half."
Bai Tang glanced out of the window, and Shen Tingjun asked softly beside him, "Tired?"
Baitang turned around and glanced at him. This journey was all about transportation, and she was a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so why would she feel tired after a two- to three-hour journey. Just seeing Shen Tingjun adjusting his posture, letting her take a nap on his shoulder, he couldn't help laughing, "Where did you learn this?"
"If it wasn't for the inconvenient time, I would also like to try shopping and watching movies on TV with you." Shen Tingjun sat closer to her seat, "I think the word dating is not bad."
Baitang laughed, and finally leaned on his shoulder. As soon as his body got close, Shen Tingjun smoothed her long hair, and along with it, there was a trace of regret in his tone: "I left in a hurry this time, and I forgot to bring you some jade hairpins." She and the other Female monks have always been different, they don't like to wear more expensive or exquisite headdresses, and their hair is always tied with a hosta. In those years, if he hadn't insisted, the hosta on his head would have been extremely elegant and simple.
As soon as he said that, Bai Tang thought of the hairpins that the other party gave her, which were simple but elegant at first glance, but extremely delicate at closer inspection, and his eyes became a little more gentle. Even if he cut off the master-student relationship with her, after a year or two, someone would always send him a new hairpin. "People here don't use these, even if you give me a dozen, I won't be able to wear them."
"Go back, it will come in handy."
"Then wait until you go back, and you send me off."
"it is good."
The two spoke casually, and Xie Zhou couldn't calm down when he heard it in front. He was originally an extremely intelligent person, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to learn how to enter Qi by himself with only the exercises left by a casual practitioner and a few pieces of spiritual stones. The conversation between the two of them seemed to be a casual chat at first glance, but after careful consideration, the news revealed in it was simply astonishing.
Xie Zhou couldn't believe it. However, he was taught differently from the decent monks. The inheritance he got was not only a book of heart methods, some spiritual tools and spirit stones, but also a small introduction to magic cultivators, all of which were heard by Qianmo Patriarch. Whether it's true or not, Xie Zhou doesn't know. However, a rather special method mentioned in it is very tempting to him-rebirth by taking the house.
If he knew this method, it would mean that he would have an extra life.
But now, Xie Zhou heard two pieces of information from their words. One, Shen Tingjun did not use this body before; In terms of resources, it is quite different from here.
But is this possible? Xie Zhou recalled Baitang's means at such a young age, and fell silent.
At the foot of the mountain at the destination, Baitang opened his closed eyes. After getting out of the car, she felt the difference here, not only the fluctuation of spiritual energy, but also the fluctuation of formation.
What Baitang could feel, of course Shen Tingjun would not be unable to feel it. He stepped forward to stand side by side with her, moved his fingers slightly, and after a while, he said, "It's five hundred meters to the southeast."
Xie Zhou paused just as he stepped out of the car, the position the other party said was exactly the correct position he got last time. "My lord is right, that place is the residence of Danmen."
"Lead the way."
"Yes."
The three of them are not ordinary people, and the distance of 500 meters has been covered in the blink of an eye.
When he arrived at the place, Xie Zhou took out a jade flute and explained: "I was in a hurry to communicate with the master last time. There is one thing I haven't told the master. Two months ago, it was Danmen and Jianmen who recruited disciples this time. On the day when Gu Chen and Yuan Xun were admitted to Jianmen, and to Danmen, the subordinates happened to be recruited in. The subordinates will now use the means of communication between me and him to call him out as the master Provide some information about Danmen."
"Only with your jade flute?" The declarative sentence Shen Tingjun asked, without the slightest bit of disdain, let Xie Zhou clearly understand the natural disdain. "I'm afraid that the sound of the flute can't even pass through this mountain guard formation that only has the functions of concealment and vigilance turned on."
Xie Zhou lowered his head in shame. Bai Tang took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and groped in the void a few times, then retreated to Shen Tingjun's side, and nodded to him.
The next moment, something flew out of Shen Tingjun's hand and flew away through the air. The speed was so fast that Xie Zhou only had time to see the phantom passing by, and then saw a hole in front of him, and through the exposed gap, several palaces could be seen faintly. However, soon this slit disappeared.
Xie Zhou stood behind the two of them more quietly. After a while, it seemed as if the bells from the distant horizon gradually sounded clearly one by one. Afterwards, the hidden Danmen fully revealed itself in front of the three of them. The appearance of the mountain gate. At the same time, three monks came out.
The head monk was dressed in Taoist robes and was about fifty years old, but he looked like he was in his early forties. He had an ordinary face and a smile on his face. He was a tactful person. Standing around him were two young men in their thirties, standing neatly, without much expression on their faces.
"There are friends coming from afar, so I don't welcome you." The old Taoist walked out of the formation with his hands folded, and when he saw two young people and a third person who was also young, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he was very happy. Cover up the past. "The elder in charge of the lower alchemy gate, surnamed Lin, I don't know where the three fellow daoists came from, and why did they come to my alchemy gate?"
"I heard that the Pill Sect is best at refining alchemy, so the two of us wanted to come to visit and ask for a few just in case." It was Baitang who spoke, which made Elder Lin surprised again. When he met the three of them for the first time, he could feel that Xie Zhou's cultivation was lower than his, but not too much lower. As for Bai Tang and Shen Tingjun, he couldn't feel the difference, and vaguely felt that they were similar to Zhang Tingjun. The door is quite.
However, the age of the two people is on top. In today's monastic world, even in their alchemy sect, there is no Zhuyan Dan. With the young looks of these two people, it is most likely that this is their real age. Elder Lin has never heard of a cultivator who maintained his original appearance after the foundation was established and became a monk who established the foundation at such a young age. Even the half-step Jindan senior from Jianmen, he only stepped into Foundation Establishment in his forties.
Therefore, regarding the cultivations of Bai Tang and Shen Tingjun, Elder Lin thought that there was some special means to conceal the aura of their cultivation. As for the invitation card that could be handed out by breaking the formation, Elder Lin still attributed it to the special secret method.
In this monastic world where the secret arts are barren, the monks who can possess the secret arts either have a lot of background, or have some chance to get the inheritance. If it's the former, it's natural to make friends, and if it's the latter, it depends on the person's cultivation. Therefore, Elder Lin personally brought two disciples down the mountain to welcome the guests.
"I see. I don't dare to say anything else. For alchemy, my alchemy school can still let the two of you choose one or two." Elder Lin said modestly, but the expression on his face was somewhat smug. "I don't know how to call the three friends?"
After exchanging surnames, Elder Lin led the three of them to the sect of Danmen.
Along the way, Elder Lin's heart changed again and again. Although he still couldn't find out the specific cultivation bases of Bai Tang and Shen Tingjun, he had confirmed that their cultivation bases were not weak. This made him increase his speculation about the origins of the two, and his attitude became kinder.
"Elder Lin, would it be convenient for us to introduce the head of your sect?" Sitting in the hall where guests were welcomed, Baitang picked up the tea on the table, put it to his mouth and smelled the tea fragrance, then put it back, lifted began to ask.
"It's not a coincidence that the three fellow daoists have come here. The sect master is retreating, but there is an important matter that requires the sect master to come in person?" Elder Lin noticed her small movements, and frowned thoughtfully, "You don't like tea, fellow daoist Bai?"
At this time, Shen Tingjun opened his mouth calmly: "The tea from your school is good tea, but Ah Tang is spoiled by us, and only drinks Habitual Tea."
"Spiritual tea." Elder Lin repeated in a low voice, and the hand holding the teacup trembled undetectably. Up to now, he has only seen a small jar of treasured spiritual tea at the master's place. Let alone him, even the head of the house will not easily open it for a drink. And now, what did he hear? I'm only used to drinking spirit tea. Where did this monk come from? He can drink spirit tea as a daily drink.
"So I'm being rude."
"It's just a little bit of appetite," Bai Tang said indifferently, "Since the master is in retreat, what about seeking alchemy?"
Elder Lin suddenly came to his senses when he heard the words. No matter what their backgrounds were, if they could come to their alchemy gate to ask for alchemy, it was because they didn't have any elixir in their hands. In this way, the value of these pills from their Pill Sect... "What kind of pills do you two want?"
Bai Tang and Shen Tingjun exchanged glances, and it was Shen Tingjun who spoke, "Zhu Ji Dan."
The teacup in Elder Lin's hand was almost unsteady at this moment, he restrained his voice and asked for confirmation once: "Zhu Jidan?"
Shen Tingjun raised his eyebrows, and continued: "We don't ask for much, a bottle of ten pills."
Elder Lin took out his hand and secretly wiped his damp palm. If their alchemy sect could refine the foundation pill, the sect's strength would not be limited to this. It's a pity that the formula of the Foundation Establishment Pill has long been incomplete.
"Elder Lin is worried that my master won't be able to pay the price?" Seeing his silence, Xie Zhou spoke out in a timely manner, "This elder can just rest assured, as long as the elixir sent by you meets the quality my master seeks, the price is easy to negotiate."
Elder Lin couldn't help smiling wryly in his heart, he originally wanted to get some good things from them, but who knew that these two people were even more open-minded than him. The foundation building pill is still ten pills, so where can he get it.
"Master." A young man who was waiting beside him bent down and whispered in his ear, "A few days ago, senior brother..."
The following words were stopped by Elder Lin in time, he turned his head and gave his little disciple an appreciative look, and turned back to Shen Tingjun: "If it's only ten pills, I still have the Danmen in stock, but at this price... The preciousness of Kedan must be clear to both of you."
Baitang smiled lightly, "How much does the elder want?"
"Do you two want to exchange spirit stones, or something else?"
"What about exchanging spirit stones, and what about others?"
"In terms of spirit stones, the two of you and I hit it off at first sight, and I wouldn't give you a high price, one piece, five hundred spirit stones." After telling the price, Elder Lin was ready to bargain with each other. You know, their Dan family relied on their ancestors to accumulate, and now he knows that the stock of spirit stones is only 10,000 yuan. If this deal is really successful, it will be 5,000 spirit stones.
Bai Tang was taken aback when she heard that, she didn't know that the family of the entire Dan Sect would be so thin, but she was a bit surprised to hear that a Foundation Establishment Pill was only offered for five hundred. In the realm of comprehension, although Foundation Establishment Pills are not uncommon, the starting price is also calculated in thousands. At this moment, she had a preliminary understanding of Danmen's resources and financial resources.
"If it is changed to something else, at least it must be an alchemy medicinal material or a spiritual weapon that is equivalent to the foundation pill." After finishing speaking, Elder Lin looked eagerly at the two who could make the decision.
Shen Tingjun made him wait for a while before replying: "Elder Lin always wants us to see the quality of the Foundation Establishment Pill refined by your sect first."
Elder Lin was overjoyed. He thought that the two of them would hesitate to discuss the price for a long time, but it turned out that it directly depended on the quality of the Foundation Establishment Pill, which meant that the two of them carried at least five thousand spirit stones or something of the same value. "You two wait here for a while, I will go for a walk in person and bring Zhu Ji Dan to you to have a look."
Walking out of the main hall, Elder Lin told the little disciple who came out with him through the sound transmission: "Go and inform the head, if the head has something to say, come to the alchemy room and tell me quickly."
"Yes, Master."
