Xu Ying looked at him, and saw the flames in his eyes, burning with an unyielding will!
Xu Fu Dao: "Tribulation Crossing and Ascension are just my personal aspirations. My true goal is to return to the source and set things right! It's a restoration!" His expression was impassioned as he declared, "The revival of the Qi Refiners!"
Xu Ying, Da Zhong, and Yuan Qi looked at him in astonishment.
"Three hundred years ago, the Dong family Qi Refiners suppressed the various schools and monopolized the art, proposing the connection between heaven and man, ultimately dooming the Qi Refiners!"
Xu Fu's eyes blazed with fervor, and he placed his hands on Xu Ying's shoulders, speaking with utmost sincerity, "For three hundred years, the law has prevailed, and the Qi Refiners have declined. But what is the use of the law? A lifespan of three hundred years is nothing more than that of a Qi Gathering period monster, not even as long as the dog I keep at home! Even dogs live longer than the law masters!"
He exclaimed, "The law is a mistake! For three hundred years, we have been in the dark, but today marks the dawn of the revival of the Qi Refiners! Xu Jun, you are the Eternal Immortal!"
Xu Ying's mind was reeling, "Am I the Eternal Immortal?" In the south of Xiangxian, in the depths of Cangwu, beneath the Nine Mountains, lies the Eternal Immortal. Could it be that the phrase "the girl in the coffin" is not about someone else, but about myself?
Xu Fu's gaze was intense, "Exactly! You are the Eternal Immortal, the eternal legend! I found traces of you in ancient texts and the roots of you in myths. I know your past, and you can definitely help us restore the glory of the Qi Refiners!"
Xu Ying frowned, looked at the hands placed on his shoulders, and said, "I don't think the Qi Refiner's technique is that perfect." Xu Fu laughed heartily, "That's why we need the help of the Eternal Immortal to complete the imperfect Qi Refiner's technique!"
Standing on the peak of the Immortal Mountain, he embraced Xu Ying's shoulders and looked out over this paradise, proclaiming, "Xu Jun, as long as you agree to help, this Immortal Mountain will be shared between us! Fellow disciples, come and pay your respects to the Eternal Immortal! He will be your immortal master!"
The white-clad disciples who followed him here were filled with excitement, bowing and saying, "Disciples pay their respects to the Eternal Immortal! Pay their respects to Ancestor Xu Ying!"
Qi and Da Zhong were also shaken by this scene, and Qi was so excited that his blood boiled, murmuring, "Could it be that the era of the Qi Refiners is really going to be revived in this world?"
Xu Fu laughed heartily, activated the Immortal Mountain, and carried Xu Ying out of the paradise, saying, "We Qi Refiners have been silent for three hundred years, in the dark for three hundred years, and today we finally see the light!"
Xu Ying regained his composure and asked, "Brother Xu, how did you manage to revive the Qi Refiners? The inheritance of the Qi Refiners has clearly been broken. Wanting to rise again is no different from creating a new cultivation system!"
"The inheritance of the Qi Refiners has never been broken!"
Xu Fu's eyes sparkled with fervor, and he smiled, "To be honest, when the Dong family suppressed the various schools and monopolized the Nuo technique, a group of young Qi Refiners escaped the disaster. When the world was sealed and cleansed, they survived and preserved the fire! Not long after I returned from overseas, they found me. I will take you to meet them!"
The Immortal Mountain passed through the cracks in the mountains and flew outside, shuttling between the mountains.
Soon, the Immortal Mountain arrived at a grand hall by the sea, and as it descended, beams of light fell from the sky, transforming into men and women dressed in ancient Qin and Han clothing.
They wore simple robes from the Qin and Han dynasties, and one of the women wore a simple Daoist robe, with only a peach wood hairpin inserted on top of her head and no extra decorations on her body. She bowed to Xu Ying and said, "I am Hua Xianchen, paying my respects to the Eternal Immortal."
Her gaze was eager, looking at Xu Ying as if he were a treasure, and her excitement was evident.
A man approached Xu Ying, dressed in coarse cloth, with a burly figure and a desire to get close to Xu Ying, but he dared not approach, standing several meters away, excitedly saying, "I am Dong Meiqing, a Qi Refiner from the time of the Martial Emperor, and today I finally meet the Eternal Immortal!"
Xu Ying nodded gently, feeling somewhat bewildered.
He always felt that they were calling out to someone else, not himself.
Another person approached, and from a distance, he respectfully said to Xu Ying, "As a junior disciple who has not yet advanced, Qi Qingzhou, a Qi Refiner, pays his respects to the Eternal Immortal!"
There were also people dressed in splendid clothes, with handsome appearances and cultivated primordial spirits, who also bowed to Xu Ying, deeply moved and choked with emotion, saying, "The reappearance of the Eternal Immortal in the world has finally brought our Qi Refiner lineage into the light!"
There were also elderly men and women, who, upon seeing Xu Ying, burst into tears and could not speak, nodding incessantly and saying, "Good! Good!" "The heavens have eyes, and the Eternal Immortal has finally descended, leading us out of the dark world and making the Qi Refiners a prominent school!"
Someone laughed heartily, with a tone of indignation in their voice, shouting loudly, "The Nuo technique is heretical, stealing our position, stealing our land, causing chaos in the world, and leaving a legacy of poison for several hundred years! The heretical teachings have stolen our rightful place, and today is finally the time to set things right and settle old scores!"
"Use our Samadhi True Fire to burn the heretics to death!"
A familiar voice rang out, and Xu Ying looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Little Phoenix Fairy flying in from somewhere. This little girl was excitedly shouting, her face flushed with excitement, "Use the Samadhi True Fire to burn them to death-"
"That's right, burn those heretics who practice the Nuo technique to death!" More Qi Refiners responded to her.Xu Fu laughed heartily, put his arm around Xu Ying's shoulder, and eagerly said, "Xu Jun, did you see that? The Qi Refiners are still here, they have always been here, and they have not been extinguished!" Xu Ying's gaze swept across the excited faces and met with fiery eyes.
"For three hundred years, darkness has shrouded the world, but the light has never left, it has only been concealed by darkness. We have been waiting for an opportunity, and you are the opportunity we have been waiting for! You have brought back the light!"
Xu Fu laughed heartily, "We are the orthodox Qi Refiners, and those with heretical views are not worthy of living in this world! The first thing we must do when you return is to resurrect the Dragon Emperor!" Xu Ying's mind was shaken, and he turned to look at him, "Resurrect the Dragon Emperor?"
Xu Fu was inexplicably excited and laughed, "Yes, resurrect the Dragon Emperor! The Dong family's tyranny has brought a miasma to the world, only by resurrecting the Dragon Emperor can we set things right with an iron fist!" There was an excited gleam in his eyes, "The Dragon Emperor will once again burn books and bury the heretics, and this time it will be even more intense than before! This land, with the emergence of new places,
will be cleansed with the blood of the heretics!"
Xu Ying's mind was set, although he had not even recovered the memories of this life, he vaguely felt that what Xu Fu wanted to do might not be a good thing. Although the Tantric method had various drawbacks, it was a supplement to the Qi Refiners' techniques.
"I should tell them that longevity cannot be achieved with only the Qi Refiners' techniques," Xu Ying thought. At that moment, he saw two familiar figures and suddenly froze.
Xu Fu also noticed that his body had become stiff, and followed his gaze to see a handsome young man and a charming woman. Xu Fu asked in confusion, "Xu Jun, do you recognize Xiang Gongzi and Thirteen Niang?"
Xu Ying nodded lightly and said indifferently, "Naturally, I recognize them."
Xu Fu waved to Xiang Gongzi and Thirteen Niang, and they hurried forward. Xiang Gongzi took the lead in bowing and said with a smile, "I am Xiang Haikong, paying my respects to the Eternal Immortal! Ancestor Xu, I was ignorant and offended you on the Nai River, please forgive me!"
Thirteen Niang also hurried forward, bowed gracefully, and said pitifully, "Thirteen Niang offended the senior on the Nai River, and will never dare to do so again. If the senior wants to punish or penalize, Thirteen Niang will comply."
After speaking, she secretly raised her eyebrows to peek at Xu Ying's expression. Xu Ying's face was calm as a still pond.
Xu Fu laughed, "So that's the matter. I was wondering why Xu Jun would know the two of you. You have made a big mistake and offended Xu Jun, I cannot easily forgive you, but now is the time to use people, so I will record your mistakes and deal with them in the future."
Xiang Haikong and Thirteen Niang were both surprised and delighted, and looked up at Xu Ying.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Xu Fu smiled and said, "Xu Jun, you can let them go." He waved his hand to let the two of them leave. "Wait."
Xu Ying said lightly, "Farts can be let loose, but people cannot."
Xu Fu turned around, surprised, "Could it be that Xu Jun is still upset? Xiang Gongzi, Thirteen Niang, Xu Jun is still upset, you two figure it out."
Xiang Haikong hesitated for a moment, took out a sword, gritted his teeth, and inserted it into his thigh. Thirteen Niang, seeing this, also took out a flying knife and inserted it into her abdomen. Xu Fu shook his head and sighed, "Why do you two need to torment yourselves? Xu Jun, what do you think?"
Xu Ying's gaze fell on the two of them and said softly, "They tried to kill me, and I retaliated on the spot, breaking their bones and tendons. That's why I spared them." Xiang Haikong and Thirteen Niang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and smiled apologetically, "Ancestor, you are magnanimous." After speaking, they helped each other and were about to leave.
Xu Ying said, "You can't leave." The two of them stopped and looked at Xu Ying.
Xu Ying's gaze was cold as he said, "I want to know, did you summon the Plague God?"
He remembered that night when he rode the girl's boat in the coffin and saw the tragic scene on the Nai River, with countless bodies piled up into mountains, burning in the fire. He also remembered the diversion of the river, how many families were destroyed, and how many died in the invasion of ghosts and gods!
He sought the truth, not for anything else, but to avenge those who died unjustly! Xiang Haikong and Thirteen Niang's faces changed suddenly, and they looked at Xu Fu.
Qi He and Da Zhong had never understood Xu Ying's intentions, but they suddenly realized. When the Nai River was diverted, the girl in the coffin asked Xu Ying to take action, whip the Plague God, and set the sky on fire for thousands of miles. Why did the Plague God descend, and was the diversion of the river related to them?
"How many people did you sacrifice by summoning the Plague God?" Xu Ying's gaze fell on the two of them, his face calm, showing no hint of anger, and said, "How many people did the Plague God kill? Hundreds of thousands? Or tens of thousands? Was the diversion of the Nai River also your doing? The invasion of the underworld? Are you involved in all of this?"
Xiang Haikong's forehead broke out in a cold sweat and kept looking at Xu Fu.
Xu Fu said softly, "This is not a big deal. Xiang Gongzi, Thirteen Niang, if it was really you, just admit it."
Thirteen Niang giggled, "The sacrifice to the Plague God is indeed related to us, and the diversion of the Nai River is indeed our doing. If we didn't sacrifice people to the Plague God, how could the Plague God descend? If the Plague God didn't go on a killing spree, how could the Nai River be diverted?"
Xiang Gongzi quickly said, "After the Nai River was diverted, it flooded the Little Stone Mountain, impacted the desolate temple, and rescued the Qi Refiner who was suppressed in the stone well!"Da Zhong was furious when he heard this, and said with sorrow and anger, "So it was you who attacked Little Stone Mountain on the night when the Nai River changed its course! It was you who destroyed my three decades of hard work! In my well, I have been suppressing the rebellious celestial being from three decades ago!"
Chu Shisan Niang spoke quickly and sharply, "It was just that the woman didn't appreciate our help. We saved her, and she didn't show any gratitude. She injured the bell and left!" Xiang Hai Kong said, "She is still in the country of Zhu Du, burning the plague god. She is acting recklessly." Xu Fu coughed, and Xiang Hai Kong felt a chill in his heart and dared not say anything more.
Xu Fu smiled and said, "This matter was originally a small one. For the great cause of the revival of the Qi Refiner, there are always some things that need to be sacrificed. Sacrificing these lives in exchange for the rise of the Qi Refiner, I think it's worth it."
"Brother Xu, have you asked those sacrificed people if their deaths were worth it?" Xu Ying asked, "Have you asked if their deaths were worth it?"
Xu Fu frowned and sighed, "Xu Jun, four decades have passed, and you are still so stubborn. You have been crawling and struggling in the mortal world for four decades, enduring countless hardships of life. Have you not been smoothed out by life's hardships?"
Xu Ying was filled with raging anger, his eyes cold, and said, "Brother Xu, do not make an enemy of me." He walked towards Xiang Gongzi and said, "Today, I will kill two people!"
Suddenly, Xu Fu burst into laughter, reached out from behind, and pressed his shoulder, laughing, "The previous matter was just a misunderstanding." Xu Ying couldn't move, turned his head to meet his gaze, and said softly, "What if it wasn't a misunderstanding?"
The wound at the corner of Xu Fu's eye gradually turned red, his gaze gradually turning cold. He let go of Xu Ying's shoulder and said with a smile, "Four decades have passed, and you still haven't changed. When we were at sea back then, you had the same look in your eyes. The scar you left me back then still hasn't healed today."
