After reporting to the Supreme Elder Laozi, Xuandu continued his trials!
Now that the calamity of the Wu and Yao tribes had passed, the world was still clear and bright!
At this moment, Xuandu was in a human tribe, treating illnesses. After all, Xuandu was also human. Passing by a human tribe, he used some collected herbs to refine some elixirs and treat the people of this tribe!
"Eh? Is that Senior Brother Xuandu?" At this moment, a Taoist passing by in the sky saw Xuandu below and immediately descended!
Xuandu glanced and smiled, "Is it Junior Brother Guangchengzi, a disciple of Second Uncle? Long time no see!"
The last time they met was at Zhenyuanzi's ginseng fruit gathering. They hadn't seen each other since then!
Guangchengzi immediately smiled, "Yes, long time no see, Senior Brother. What are you doing here?" After speaking, he looked around. This was a human tribe, why was Xuandu mixed in here?
Xuandu had nothing to hide, so he said he was traveling and seeing many sick people here, so he refined some elixirs to help!
Guangchengzi immediately understood, tied his hair into a bun, and said, "Senior Brother is truly compassionate!"
After all, Guangchengzi was also human, and he cared about human affairs.
"Is Junior Brother out for trials?" Xuandu asked curiously, not knowing if Guangchengzi had a mission or was simply out for experience!
"Yes, Master ordered us to go out for trials to temper our state of mind. After all, we are responsible for the Emperor's enlightenment. Without strength, it is difficult to accomplish anything!" Guangchengzi sighed. Some of his junior brothers were also out practicing.
Xuandu immediately said, "Since Junior Brother is also on a trial, why don't we go to the swamp ahead and deal with that swamp beast. It harms the humans here. My strength was not enough, and I was thinking of waiting until I broke through. Now that Junior Brother is here, with our combined strength, we can defeat this beast!"
Guangchengzi nodded. In fact, he had no particular purpose before. Now that Senior Brother needed help, he would naturally not be stingy!
"Alright, Junior Brother, follow me!" Xuandu said with a smile!
Guangchengzi's current cultivation was also Xuanxian, practically the same as Xuandu!
In the Great Desolation, the cultivation of the immortal path was divided into: Renxian, Dixian, Tianxian, Zhenxian, Xuanxian, Jinxian, Taiyi Zhenxian, Taiyi Xuanxian, Taiyi Jinxian! After that was the legendary Da Luo Jinxian, followed by Quasi-Saint, and then the supreme Saint!
And Jinxian was a milestone on the path of cultivation and a divergence point. Only by reaching Jinxian could one be immortal. If one could not reach Jinxian, all was in vain! There would always be the tribulation of the five decays of heaven and man!
At this moment, both Xuandu and Guangchengzi were in the late stage of Xuanxian, striving to advance to Jinxian!
The swamp beast they were going to deal with was at the Jinxian level!
When the two arrived at a swamp, it reeked of foul odor. The smell of the swamp was too strong, and Guangchengzi frowned. Looking into the swamp, they saw a strange beast lying there, looking somewhat like a lion but not quite!
Sensing the aura of Xuandu and Guangchengzi, the swamp beast raised its head, and its pair of cold eyes looked at the two!
One could even see disdain in its eyes towards Xuandu and Guangchengzi!
It was obvious that Xuandu had fought this swamp beast before and clearly could not defeat it!
"Junior Brother, this swamp beast is at the Jinxian cultivation level. I can only use my spiritual treasures to contain it, but I cannot kill it!" Xuandu said!
Guangchengzi touched the Fantian Seal in his arms and smiled, "Senior Brother, just do your best. Leave the rest to me!"
Xuandu nodded, then threw out his spiritual treasure, the Li Di Yan Guang Qi, an ultimate innate spiritual treasure. As soon as it appeared, it unleashed boundless flames. However, at this moment, the swamp beast spat out a bead from its mouth, and the water spirit energy around it surged, blocking the flames from outside!
The swamp beast roared and lunged at Xuandu, biting the bead!
However, in front of Xuandu, lotus flowers of fire rose, blocking the swamp beast's advance!
"Good beast, behold the seal!" Guangchengzi immediately took out the Fantian Seal from his arms and threw it at the swamp beast!
The Fantian Seal grew in size as it flew through the air, instantly transforming into a colossal seal that was placed upon the swamp beast's head!
With a roar, the swamp beast felt dizzy and disoriented. Guangchengzi waved his hand, and the great seal pressed down again. The swamp beast let out a tragic cry, its physical body was shattered, and only its primordial spirit escaped!
Xuandu pointed a finger at the Li Di Yan Guang Qi, and boundless fire lotuses surrounded the escaping primordial spirit. The flames burned intensely, and finally, the swamp beast shrieked as its divine soul was annihilated!
Only a bead floated in place!
Xuandu gave the bead to Guangchengzi and smiled, "Thank you for your help this time, Junior Brother. This beast had a good spiritual treasure, so I'll give it to you!"
Guangchengzi quickly declined, "Senior Brother, I only helped a little. Without Senior Brother's containment, it would have been difficult for me to achieve anything. This Water Spirit Bead is also a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, too valuable. Please keep it, Senior Brother!"
Xuandu was indifferent. After all, he still had ultimate innate spiritual treasures that he hadn't fully refined. He knew the principle of not biting off more than one could chew. Moreover, Guangchengzi had helped him, so he naturally had to show his appreciation!
"Junior Brother, this is what you deserve, so don't be polite with Senior Brother!" Xuandu insisted on stuffing the Water Spirit Bead into Guangchengzi's hand. Then, a small amount of merit descended from the sky, indicating that this swamp beast had done many wicked deeds in this area!
The merit was divided into two and entered their bodies. Both of them smiled slightly. This was the benefit of practicing in the Great Desolation!
"Senior Brother, then I will not be polite. If Senior Brother needs anything in the future, I will surely come!" Guangchengzi also said immediately!
The two smiled and returned to the human tribe. Xuandu told the tribal chief about defeating the swamp beast. The chief thanked them repeatedly, as this swamp beast had greatly harmed their tribe!
"Senior Brother, then I will take my leave!" Guangchengzi saw that the matter was resolved and prepared to leave!
Xuandu quickly escorted Guangchengzi out of the tribe and then returned!
He stayed in this tribe for a few more months, and coincidentally taught them some alchemy techniques, before leaving!
At this moment, Guangchengzi was very satisfied. He had not only gained merit but also a spiritual treasure, which was a huge profit!
However, at this moment, a bloody figure appeared and blocked Guangchengzi's path, looking at him with a cold smile!
Guangchengzi also looked at the newcomer cautiously because he could not sense the person's cultivation!
"Disciple of Yuanshi, you are unlucky to meet me!" the bloody figure sneered and charged at Guangchengzi!
Facing the sudden charge of the bloody figure, Guangchengzi immediately threw out his spiritual treasure, the Fantian Seal, and aimed it at the figure!
The figure frowned, blocked the Fantian Seal with a wave of his hand, but at this moment, Guangchengzi took out a small bell and shook it. The figure stumbled and almost fell!
