As the sun sets and the moon rises, the brilliance falls on the turbulent sea, shimmering with golden light.

Zhang Shiping, who had been meditating for more than three hours, slowly opened his eyes. He stretched out his hand, and several streams of light flew from the formation outside the room and fell into his hands. After the light faded away, seven or eight pieces of different colors appeared.

Jade slips and talismans.

Zhang Shiping's consciousness checked, and after a while he threw away the things in his hands, with a look of boredom on his face. He took out several jade slips from his storage bag, left a note and tossed them away, turning them into various colors of light.

, dispersed and disappeared in a flash.

It is one of the most prosperous and romantic places in the city, with many lofts. From a distance, there is faint play and laughter, and the sound of silk, bamboo, drums and harp can be heard.

On one of the singing platforms that was tens of feet high, under the moonlight, amidst the playing of the performers, there were six pairs of men and women, humming and dancing to the music. These twelve boys and girls were no more than small.

Fourteen or fifteen, the older ones are eighteen or nineteen, the women are like peaches and plums, and the men are like jade carvings with teeth, dancing sleeves fluttering, and charming eyes.

There are banquet tables on both sides, with twelve people sitting lazily among them, leaning on the red and green trees, drinking and drinking among each other. Some of these people look extremely young, and some have wrinkled faces and white hair and beards, but from these people there are unintentional clues.

From the auras revealed between them, one can tell that these people are all Golden Elixir monks. However, most of them are in the early stage, and only two old men with a bit of old and decadent aura are in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.

While they were having a feast, several streams of light flew over and fell in front of everyone, landing on the wine table. The people, who were originally drunk and confused, were shocked and looked at each other with smiles.

"Mingtong, you lost, why don't you take out your Baihua wine and have fun with everyone." After seeing the jade slips, Master Huo Ming smiled at the person sitting opposite and said, "You know that Fellow Daoist Zhang is the most powerful person."

How dare you bet with me if you don't like to join in the fun?"

"Everyone, drink and win!" The old man whose long beard was slightly wet with wine also looked at the jade slip. This man's face was a little red. He put down the wine glass, but he didn't feel the slightest regret after losing. Instead, he pointed at Huo Ming and smiled,

Then he took out a dozen glasses of wine very freely and placed them on each case.

Then he raised his glass and said loudly to Huo Ming: "You old guy, you are so competitive even when you are about to die, don't think I didn't notice, just drink it!"

The two of them must have a good relationship. Huo Ming immediately raised his glass and drank it all with a smile on his face.

Master Mingtong gently shook his hand. The young man waiting on the side had a handsome appearance, red lips and white teeth. Upon closer inspection, his brows and eyes were somewhat similar to that of Mingtong. He walked a few steps closer and bowed down.

Beside my ancestors.

"Qi'er, please send this cup of Baihua wine." Master Mingtong touched his right hand on the storage bag at his waist, and a wine cup appeared in his hand.

"Yes." The young man took the wine cup with both hands and responded with a low eyebrow.

"Come, take this token with you, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get in and out." Master Huo Ming raised his hand and sent out a red token.

The place where Zhang Shiping lives is a gathering place for Xuanyuan Sect's Jindan monks. It is protected by a magic circle and patrolled by disciples day and night, making it difficult for outsiders to enter. However, with the token of Master Huo Ming, this young man can let

The disciple guarding the entrance to the formation was sent to lead him in to find the person.

"Old guy, what do you think of my previous proposal? Do you want to hunt down the big monster with me? The twelve of us join forces. Although it is a little slower, it is safer and better. Now that the Sea Clan is becoming more and more unwilling to give up, then

There are more and more big monsters, and we monks in the early and middle stages still need to join forces." Master Mingtong waved his hand to the younger members of the clan to leave faster, and then said to Master Huo Ming.

But after hearing this, Master Huo Ming shook his head, looked at him pointedly and said, "No, no, I don't have a few more years to live, and now I just want to live in peace for a few more years. Ming Tong, you don't

You have to understand that once no one in your Zhu family can take up the burden, the more you stay now, the more dangerous their juniors will be. You have to make arrangements properly. How about coming to my Xuanyuan Sect?"

"Let's see, let's not talk about this for now, it will only increase our worries. I would like to offer you a drink, drink it!" Master Tongming's eyes showed a bit of tiredness, he sighed lightly, then raised his glass high and said loudly.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became more and more intense.

…

…

After Zhang Shiping drank the Baihua wine sent by Master Mingtong, he did not continue to meditate and refine his Qi. Instead, he sat alone in the courtyard leaning on the railing and looking at the moon for a long time. After all, he was still thinking about Cao Qi, and he was a little worried. This kind of thing

It's really scary to have people appear out of nowhere who know everything about you, but you know nothing about them.

Of course, as an elder, he was not greedy for such an advantage. Zhang Shiping casually gave the junior from the Zhu family a talisman of similar value as a gift in return.

The talismans sold in many shops in the world of immortality range from a few hundred spirit stones to several thousand spirit stones. However, in fact, these so-called talismans are usually made of damaged magic weapons that have been refined through the Dan Fire Sacrifice of the Golden Pill Monk for ten and a half days.

months, and then make them into talismans of varying powers.

Talismans with low power are only as powerful as a full-strength strike from a monk at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while those with powerful power are only comparable to a full-strength strike from a monk at the completion of Foundation Establishment. These talismans are nothing more than a joke to the Golden Core monks.

However, if it is a talisman made from the natal magic weapon that Master Huo Ming has sacrificed for hundreds of years, then even monks like Zhang Shiping, who are only one step away from the late stage of Jindan, will be extremely wary! It’s just a talisman like Master Huo Ming.

With neither bloodline descendants nor disciples to inherit the mantle, after his death, he will most likely leave all his belongings in the Xuanyuan Sect's treasury.

Zhang Shiping chuckled lightly. Among the many jade slips just now, Brother Huo Ming actually sent two jade slips. One invited him to join the banquet like everyone else, and the other told him not to come, otherwise he would bet.

About to lose.

Otherwise, even if he doesn't like the excitement, if Master Huo Ming is present, he will go and sit down, and they won't see each other a few times.

As the sky in the east gradually gets brighter, the bright moon on the horizon becomes more and more ethereal until it disappears.

Zhang Shiping straightened his clothes, stood up and walked out, heading towards the courtyard of Patriarch Qingyu. However, when he arrived, he was politely stopped by the two disciples in front of him and asked to wait.

Then one of them immediately went into the small courtyard to report. After a short while, the disciple walked out slowly.

"Elder Zhang, the ancestor is practicing." He whispered to Zhang Shiping who was waiting.

As soon as the disciple on duty finished speaking, Zhang Shiping heard the voice of Patriarch Qingyu, "Shiping, there is no need to be so polite. Regarding the refining of the elixir, don't delay if you want to get some snacks. Come back early."

That’s Xiaofeng Island.”

Zhang Shiping nodded. With the Qingyu Patriarch speaking, he felt a little more at ease in his heart. He had not forgotten the Jade Ji Sanren. Although he took out the Phantom Ghost Locust that this person wanted, he still couldn't hold it in his hands.

There is only one left. If this person has other plans, how can I backhand him?

Therefore, whether it was out of etiquette or for his own safety, it would never be wrong for him to visit the Qingyu Patriarch before leaving. This was Zhang Shiping's plan.
