It makes sense for the Xiao family to hide their treasure in the ginkgo forest. Because at first glance, this gold and silver treasure tree looks exactly like an ordinary ginkgo. However, this is not a naturally growing tree, but an ingenious man-made magic weapon.

Li Fan walked around the tree three times and could see that the veins on each golden leaf were lifelike. There were dense inscriptions and seals under the thick trunk of the two people's arms. He could feel that the roots of this precious tree were the same as the ginkgo trees in the entire forest.

The trees are all connected together, not only dispersing their own treasure light and preventing their true identity from being easily detected, but it is also equivalent to refining all the ginkgo trees into clones of the treasure. As long as you control this treasure tree, you can control the entire tree.

The Dunjia formation diagram in the woods is really quite remarkable.

Fa Jue mentioned before that the Huanyue Treasure Mirror is a magical weapon that opens the door to the Mysterious Gate made from the remains of the fallen objects and spirits. This gold and silver treasure tree is definitely a top-grade treasure, but Li Fan did not perceive the 'object' or

The existence of weapon spirits must be similar to the situation of Huanyue Baojian.

"Zhenren Li, I have reached an agreement with Master Jingning. You can store the Taoist body in the woods."

"Thank you, Taoist friend Lao Cihui."

Ci Hui, who had received eight thousand gu in intermediary fees, acted as guarantee, and Li Fan himself gave out another thousand gu gold cakes, and also took some Nine-turn Donghua Eternal Spring Pill and Nine-turn Xuanfei Purple Gold Pill as souvenirs.

I just stopped by Yuntai Peak to have a look. Master Jingning, the host of Tiexing Temple, naturally had no objections. As long as Li Yaoshi, a wanted criminal from the Sunda Kingdom, did not cause trouble on her land, she did not want to offend these evil people.

He agreed to lend him a magic weapon to give him a ride.

According to Cihui, Master Jingning is also a member of the Xiao family. Although she is only at the Nascent Soul realm, her seniority is quite high. She may have been a princess or a princess or something. Although she has become a monk and has no interest in worldly affairs,

She still has many old friends and connections with Xuanmen, and she is also taking care of the gold and silver treasure trees. In this way, the words of the ancestors of the family count, at least the generals of the Zhen Kingdom should not dare to mess around in Tiexing Temple.

Li Fan has also been in contact with the Xiao family and knows the family tradition of this family. If he doesn't look down on you, he won't be able to get in, but if he is afraid of you, he will be really flattering. Of course, it may be the Xiao family who hears this.

He claims to be a disciple of Beichen Sword Sect and has PTSD...

So Li Fan watched Cihui demonstrate. She took a sachet tied with a red rope, took out two talismans, blew on the talismans, put one talisman in the sachet, and tossed it with her hand.

The red rope flew up automatically and was tied to the branch of the gold and silver tree, under a gold leaf. Then she folded another charm into a triangle and held it under her tongue. She went to the forest to find an apricot tree and sat cross-legged under it, closing her eyes in trance.

. Then the breeze came slowly, covering Cihui's body with yellow leaves all over the sky. A bunch of tree roots also wrapped around her, wrapping her into a cocoon. She was pulled and buried under the roots of the ginkgo tree.

Li Fan took a quick look and could feel the aura of Cihui emanating from the ginkgo tree, communicating with heaven and earth, so he knew that probably the other golden elixir monks who came to the meeting also hid their Tao bodies when their souls left the body.

It is preserved in the forest. It is indeed safe. There are gold and silver treasure trees and the soldiers and horses of the Xiao family guarding it outside. At least it is much safer than setting up a formation by yourself.

So Li Fan also followed the instructions taught by Ci Hui and imitated her practice. He found a ginkgo tree, held the talisman in his mouth and entered meditation. He hid the Taoist body under the tree to preserve it, and the soul flew out of the body.

I remember that when worshiping the Thousand-faced Immortal, Li Fan closed his eyes and opened them, and he went directly to the moon. This treasure tree was a little slower, or maybe there were too many people pulling it at the same time, so the speed was a little slower.

Well, anyway, the way Li Fan feels now is as if he is traveling in a golden rapids, speeding with the waves. He even has time to change the appearance of his soul from Li Fan to Li Yaoshi, and then he is sent to a path.

In the bright light door, he arrived at his destination.

"This is the main mountain of Beichen Sword Sect, Yuntai Peak of Jiuyin Mountain..."

Li Fan raised his head and looked at the fairy mountain in front of him. How should I put it, he was actually a little disappointed. Because there seemed to be no big difference between this place and the Mozhu Mountain Cave Heaven and the Luofeng Mountain Cave Heaven. It was also a flying fairy mountain with countless fairy pavilions and immortal birds and rare animals.

, Feilong Xiangyun, by the way, did you all use the same set of templates when decorating Dongtian Paradise?

He used his spiritual sense to scan around and made some calculations with his fingers. Li Fan also saw a little bit of heel.

If his calculations were correct, the fairy mountain he saw now should not be the entity of Yuntai Peak. Of course, most of the rocks and buildings were real, but many formations and illusions were used on top of this entity.

Outside Yuntai Peak, a fantasy world of cave heaven and paradise is constructed.

The real Yuntai Peak should still be inside the blessed land of the Fairy Mountain. It is probably a treasure house specially used to store treasures. The spirits of the outside monks just stay in the illusion outside. If they want to enter the treasure house inside the Fairy Mountain, they probably won't be able to complete it.

It is impossible to ask someone to guide you with ten thousand guan.

Li Fan turned around and looked around, and found that he was also on a fairy island in the sky. There was a ginkgo forest behind him. The branches and leaves in the forest were shining brightly, like an open door of light. This should be a towing passage leading directly to Tiexing Temple.

Already.

After waiting for a while, another figure walked out from the light and shadow in the forest, and a bald monk in white clothes appeared, but his face was completely missing, and a big hole was exposed on his head, just like a cracked eggshell.

"Fahui?"

"The real person has been waiting for a long time. The soul of this poor monk is on the verge of disintegration. Please don't be offended. Huh? Have you always been using your true body? It's better for the soul to change and cover up a little bit." Fahui suggested.

road.

"Oh, as a man, I can change my name or my surname. I, Pharmacist Li, have nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn't matter." Li Fan said frankly.

Fa Hui shrugged, "Okay then, Master, come with me, Yuntai Peak is just ahead."

Li Fan followed Fa Hui and jumped down from the fairy island. He flew with the strong wind, flew through layers of cumulus clouds, and shuttled among the fairy roads of flying mountains. He saw it from a distance. There was a fairy mountain with flying peaks, a myriad of treasures, and colorful clouds.

Surrounded by countless fairy boats and fairy pavilions, it is the most prosperous.

Fa Hui pointed to a Qingyun with many green Luan and Phoenix flags on it, like a giant dragon boat road like a palace, "The Xiao family's Dharma conference will be held there. The poor monk may be delayed for a few days, but the real person can look around.

Look.

If you see a fairy island with three Taoist towers and a peach blossom forest, it is probably the manor where the group of female fairies live on the other side of Huanyue Baojian. The poor monk remembers that the leading female fairy is named

The person named Zi Chai may be recognized by some Taoist masters, but the poor monk has a shallow Taoism and doesn't have much spare money. He comes here often and has never met them.

When the ceremony ends, the passage to the gold and silver treasure tree will be closed. Please remember to turn back in time, otherwise you may have to fly all the way back to Gangneung."

"Okay, I understand. Fellow Taoist, please excuse me."

It's good to know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book. Sooner or later, we will track it down. This time, we spent so much money to open a map to the main city of Xuanmen. Li Fan planned to walk around first to see the awesomeness of the nine Xuanmen.

What level is it?

So Li Fan walked around leisurely.

It has been more than five hundred years since the Beichen Sword Sect was exterminated. Now Yuntai Peak has become the Xuanmen office and trading center. All the famous sects in the Central Plains have set up liaison offices here, one after another on the fairy island.

Embassy. In addition to real people like Li Fan who have left the body of the Nascent Soul, you can occasionally see golden elixirs, and even the souls of monks who build the foundation and refine the Qi. They are probably drawn by the Xuanmen magic weapon. It seems that the Xuanmen gate is still there.

Quite a few...

Xuantian Jianyi did tell Li Fan a little bit about Xuanmen, but those were all from the old almanac at least five hundred years ago. It's hard to say how many of them are still relevant now, at least the matter about Yuntai Peak is just that.

I haven't mentioned it. But generally speaking, some basic parts will not become too much.

From the source, Xuanmen was originally a rebel army of loose cultivators who followed Xuannv and rebelled against the tyranny of the Immortal Palace. In fact, there have always been such rebel armies, which are essentially the same as Moshan, Lou Guandao, and even Luo Jiao Heilian.

The religion is of the same nature and is an illegal heretic rebel organization defined by the Immortal Palace. However, the vast majority of the rebels were defeated or exterminated overseas.

The Xuanmen batch was the first batch, or the only batch, to win against the Immortal Palace. And it was a direct stud. Under the leadership of Xuannv, they broke into Sanyuan and screwed the head of the Immortal Emperor at that time. Immortal

The Sutra of Respecting the Direct Lineage of Clan

In this battle, the inheritance was cut off, and the four sects suffered the greatest blow, and they became the puppets of noble families. The eight vassal kingdoms also refused to accept the king's rule and began to fight for their own civil strife. There was no great emperor who could revive the Immortal Palace.

However, Xuannv had no interest in changing dynasties, so she ascended to the throne after leaving the Nine Heavenly Books. The remaining followers of Xuannv passed on the Nine Heavenly Books as Xuannv's disciples and began the serious inheritance of immortality.

Until Xuannv's Heavenly Book was seized by the God Lord, Xuanmen had always been some kind of existence, similar to the Traditional Culture and Academic Committee. All these people wanted was to ascend like Xuannv and had no interest in ruling the world. Therefore, Xuanmen also

It's not a compulsory organization, it's more like a reading club that meets every few years to study Xuannv's Heavenly Book together.

Because the Heavenly Book is so mysterious, nine reading groups were divided into nine reading groups based on the nine Xuannv Heavenly Books. In addition, when recruiting disciples, we specially selected those geniuses who have excellent understanding and qualifications and are likely to understand the Heavenly Book. Usually, there are also Xuanmen elders who regularly read the books.

The Five Arts Assessment was organized to teach and teach the younger generation to interpret and master the Heavenly Book, and this was the beginning of the Nine Mysterious Gates.

Later, naturally there would be differences in the interpretation of the Heavenly Book, so many side sects were derived. However, everyone worshiped Xuannv and practiced the authentic immortal way of Xuannv. Naturally, it became its own Xuanmen sect, with more people and higher seniority.

Now that the rules have become stronger, and these elites are indeed strong enough, Xuanmen has gradually become a powerful force that cannot be ignored in the world.

Later, there was an uproar between the divine master and the divine sect snatching Xuannv's heavenly book. The Taoist sect joined forces with the divine sect several times to seize the book, and gradually formed the leadership framework of the nine major Taoist sects.

Theoretically speaking, all Taoist sects have equal status. Anyone who joins Taoism can speak at the Heavenly Book Conference to win the support of other sects. However, now giants like Emei and some have been exterminated to the point where only a few or two remain.

Compared to sects that are only mentioned in memory from time to time when they take the blame, the gap in strength does exist objectively, so there is no absolute equality.

Therefore, those who are generally in the leadership position of Taoism are the nine strongest sects elected at the Heavenly Book Conference. These nine major sects form an institution such as a standing council.

It is up to the heads of these nine major sects, as well as the core elders and disciples of the nine major sects, to discuss and decide on various policies and strategies of Xuanmen, organize disciples to respond to tribulations, conduct assessments and evaluations of the five arts, allocate resources in various cave heavens and blessed lands, and coordinate the suppression and crusade against demons.

Monsters, dealing with the competition between the fairy palace and the religious group, etc.

Today's nine major sects are Emei Mountain, Hengshan Mountain, Songshan Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, Huotong Mountain, Wangwu Mountain, Danxia Mountain, Magu Mountain and Penglai Mountain.

Of course, there are ancient sects under Xuanmen with unfathomable strength such as Qingcheng Mountain, Taiyi Mountain, and Daiyue Mountain. They are also famous in the Central Plains, and are not necessarily inferior to the current nine major sects. However, these sects may be because of

The leader is practicing in seclusion, or the key disciples

If you are involved in important matters, or are unable to get away from things like forging swords and refining elixirs, you will not appear on the list of the nine major sects every time. Or small and medium-sized sects, occasionally one or two wonderful people will appear.

There are also situations where the head of the Ancient Immortal Sect is replaced by an old man.

Of course, you must choose the strongest one. Nowadays, in almost every session, there are giants in the nine major Xuanmen. Their comprehensive strength is worthy of being the strongest Xuanmen sect today, and that is Emei, bar none.

This can be seen just by looking at the Immortal Island on Yuntai Peak. The largest and highest Immortal Mountain is the Emei Sect's office, and the largest number of monks gather around the Immortal Mountain to pay a visit. The real person of Nascent Soul also has to wait at the door.

Li Fan could see from his aura that the other eight monks stationed at Yuntai Peak were all at the realm of spiritual transformation, but their aura was still a bit inferior to that of Emei. I am afraid that the monks sent by Emei to guard Yuntai Peak were all at the realm of enlightenment.

Is he the boss?

In short, Li Fan walked around twice, just to get a glimpse of the strength of the three major sects. He calculated the number of Nascent Souls and Spirit Transformation monks perceived by each fairy mountain, and finally came to a rough and obvious conclusion. Mozhu Mountain is really a rural place...

…

Yeah, I thought it was a copy, but it turned out to be Dragon's Lair.

Li Fan couldn't find any fairy island with three Taoist towers and a peach forest for a while. Some fairy islands were also shrouded in a forbidden fog. It was probably because there was no one inside at the moment. He simply changed his mind and looked for someone.

Although Yuntai Peak is vast and there are many monks, compared to the mortal world, it is actually at the level of a village, with at most a thousand people. There are probably not that many monks who can stay at Yuntai Peak for a long time.
To be continued...
