The woman in yellow nodded and said, "Master is just outside the camp. We came in a hurry and don't know where Senior Brother Lu and the others are going. Please ask Senior Brother Chen to go and explain the situation to Master."
After hearing this, Chen Ziyang immediately replied with a delighted look on his face, "I really didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. I apologize for my delay. Junior Sister Gao, let's hurry over and don't keep Senior Uncle Liu waiting."
After saying that, Chen Ziyang turned his palms upwards and made a gesture of invitation. The woman in yellow was not polite and walked ahead with lotus steps, and Chen Ziyang followed.
After the two men walked out of the camp, they soon came to the woman in palace dress.
"Disciple Chen Ziyang pays homage to Uncle Liu."
Chen Ziyang looked at the woman in front of him who looked much younger than him. He did not dare to be careless at all and bowed respectfully.
He was forty-seven years old. Even though he was not considered old among Qi-refining cultivators, he looked middle-aged. It seemed a bit strange that he called a female master uncle who looked more than ten years younger than him.
However, this is a very common thing in the world of immortal cultivation. In the world of immortal cultivation, the most accomplished ones come first. As long as there is no clear master-disciple relationship, even an old Qi-refining cultivator will have to respectfully call a foundation-building cultivator who is dozens of years younger than him "senior" when he comes to him.
This Master Liu looks like she is eighteen or nineteen years old, but in fact she is older than Chen Ziyang.
In the world of cultivating immortals, most of the skills practiced by female cultivators have the effect of preserving youth. If you only look at the surface, you can't tell the real age of these people.
After a Qi Refining cultivator breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he can cleanse his marrow and blood, greatly increase his lifespan, and restore himself to his youthful appearance.
The woman in palace dress waved her hand at Chen Ziyang and said, "No need to be so polite. First, tell me where Junior Brother Lu and the others went."
Chen Ziyang quickly stood up and pointed out the direction that Lu Yunfei and the others had gone that morning to the three of them.
Lu Yunfei and his group had been gone for only over an hour. If the Foundation Establishment cultivator was determined to hurry, he would be able to catch up with them in no more than two quarters of an hour. The woman in palace dress thought about it and decided to chase Lu Yunfei and his group first to prevent them from encountering any unexpected situations.
"Okay, let's go over there and take a look. You should wait here for news."
After getting the exact location, the woman in palace dress named Liu raised her hand slightly and released a flying boat magic weapon. After jumping onto the flying boat with another woman behind her, she cast a spell at the woman in yellow not far away. A breeze suddenly blew up under the feet of the woman in yellow, and soon she was also swept onto the flying boat.
The three of them stood on the flying boat, and it didn't seem crowded. With a flash of inspiration, the flying boat slowly floated high into the sky and flew quickly in the direction Chen Ziyang pointed.
Watching the flying boat slowly disappearing from view, Chen Ziyang in the camp shook his head in envy, thinking to himself, "I really don't know when I will be able to successfully build my foundation in this lifetime, like these powerful foundation-building predecessors in the sect, soaring into the sky on a flying boat."
There are more than ten thousand Qi Refining disciples like him in Xiaoyao Sect, but only three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators. Among these Qi Refining cultivators, only a hundred or so can hope to establish a foundation. Without outstanding talents or powerful backing, Qi Refining disciples like Chen Ziyang, even if they can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining, cannot accumulate much merit to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, and have little hope of establishing a foundation.
"Uncle Liu has already gone. I hope Senior Brother Lu and the others will be safe this time." After sighing softly, Chen Ziyang slowly walked back to the camp.
——
In a cave filled with gusts of cold wind, Yang Wuqi stroked his beloved magic knife in his hand, looked at the trembling disciples below, and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice:
"You've been out for so long, are Liangshan and the others back?"
A young man with several scars on his face quickly stepped forward and replied cautiously, "Master, Second Brother and the others returned last night and are now preparing for the blood sacrifice at the altar. Master, don't worry, Second Brother and the others are lucky this time. They've captured three more Qi Refining cultivators. Your magic sword will surely be refined quickly and successfully."
"Haha, Liangshan and the others did a good job this time. After I refine the magic sword, I will definitely reward you well." After Yang Wuqi said this, he looked at the magic sword in his hand and revealed a weird smile.
He has been hiding in the Floating Cloud Mountains for more than three years just to refine the magic weapon in his hand. Now this magic sword has absorbed the spirits of dozens of Qi-refining monks and is not far from perfection.
As long as he successfully refines this magic weapon, with the help of this magic sword, and his cultivation level of the fifth level of foundation building, in the future, as long as he does not encounter masters above the Jindan stage, there should be few foundation building cultivators who can stop him, and he will no longer have to sneak around like before.
Yang Wuqi was originally from a small sect in the Wei State. After visiting a magic cave in his early years, he was lucky enough to obtain the complete inheritance of a golden elixir magic cultivator. After comprehending this magic technique, he could not resist the temptation and turned to practice the magic technique, becoming a magic cultivator.
After decades of hard training, relying on several secret blood sacrifices, he not only successfully established his own foundation, but also spread this magic power in the surrounding area and accepted dozens of disciples.
At the beginning, Yang Wuqi acted very cautiously and did not dare to reveal his magic skills. He hid in Donglin County in the southern part of Wei State for many years and was never discovered by other cultivators.
However, the techniques used by the demon cultivators are a bit too opportunistic. If they want to quickly improve their magical powers, they often need some vicious and bloody sacrificial methods. In order to speed up their cultivation, they will choose to sacrifice other low-level cultivators. Some demon cultivators will not even let ordinary mortals go. For this reason, they are despised by the righteous cultivators in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
Five years ago, when one of Yang Wuqi's disciples was providing him with the items needed for a blood sacrifice, he was unexpectedly tracked down to his hiding place by a cultivator from Donglin County, who accidentally discovered that they were practicing magic techniques.
Although he discovered and killed the cultivator in time, the cultivator happened to be from a foundation-building family in Gulon County, Donglin County. After some investigation, their whereabouts were exposed.
Afterwards, several major foundation-building families in Gulong County joined forces and raided their lair. Fortunately, Yang Wuqi received the news in advance and escaped with some of his disciples.
After Yang Wuqi escaped from Gulon County, they wandered around various counties in Wei State in the past few years and were unable to find a safe place to settle down. They were almost tracked down by the monks sent by Xiaoyao Sect several times, and their lives were quite difficult.
Three years ago, Yang Wuqi brought his disciples to the Floating Cloud Mountains and built a secret cave, and finally settled down.
This time, in order to search for a large number of cultivators' spirits to refine a magic weapon, he has been continuously sending his disciples to help him capture lone cultivators in the Floating Cloud Mountains in the past two years. He has already captured many unlucky cultivators near Guiyunfang.
Now, as long as this magic sword absorbs some more monks' spirits, it will be able to completely transform into a magic weapon. The days of hiding from place to place in the past few years have not been in vain.
In recent years, they have been constantly capturing monks, which has also attracted the attention of Guiyunfang. However, their cave residence happened to be built in an unexplored area in the Fuyun Mountains. Over the past few years, the monks sent by Guiyunfang to track them down did not dare to come to such an unknown place, and they have never found any trace of them.
