The Way of the Immortal Master

In the endless desert, two monks, a man and a woman, were riding a red-feathered eagle each, moving forward under the scorching sun.

These two monks are Meng Zhang's second disciple An Xiaoran and third disciple An Muran.

It has been almost ten years since Meng Zhang left Taiyi Gate to travel abroad.

With the lifespan of a monk in the Foundation Establishment period, ten years is actually not a long time. And before leaving, Meng Zhang also made arrangements for the door.

For ten years, Niu Dawei, the head disciple of the Taiyi Sect, has been in charge of the daily affairs of the Taiyi Sect. He has been orderly in all aspects, and everyone from top to bottom is very satisfied.

In the past ten years, the Taiyi Sect has been thriving, and its strength has become stronger and stronger, and several foundation-building stage monks have emerged from the door.

Especially Dan Tangtang advocated that after Yingying took the Xiaozhuji Pill and successfully established her foundation, she advanced smoothly to a second-level alchemist.

In this way, in addition to the vassal Shi Changqing, Taiyimen itself also has the ability to refine second-order pills.

Although the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill cannot be collected for the time being, the materials for refining the Small Foundation Establishment Pill can still be obtained with difficulty.

The current Taiyi Sect can not only provide small foundation building pills for disciples in the sect, but also sell a small amount of small foundation building pills to closely related vassal families.

As for the defect of not being able to advance to the Jindan stage after taking Xiaozhuji Pill, few monks would care.

In the entire endless sand sea, there are thousands of monks, how many of them have the opportunity to advance to the golden core stage. For the vast majority of monks, being able to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage is a lifetime dream.

Meng Zhang has long made public the flaws of Xiaozhu Jidan, but there is still an endless stream of monks seeking Xiaozhu Jidan.

Within the Taiyi Gate, according to the rules established by Meng Zhang at the beginning, only monks with low-level spiritual root aptitude are allowed to exchange for Xiaozhu Jidan. Cultivators with mid-level and above spiritual root qualifications are absolutely not allowed to take the small foundation building pill.

The seemingly inhumane rules are actually for the sake of the long-term development of the sect. Moreover, there are many disciples in the Taiyi Sect, but there are only a few monks with middle-grade spiritual root qualifications, and the influence is actually not great.

An Xiaoran and his younger brother An Moran went out this time for the purpose of a cave left by a senior monk.

These senior monks have a lot to do with the ancestors of the An family. Before sitting down, he told the Patriarch of the An family the location of his cave.

After that, almost every generation of the An family had outstanding monks who went to this cave to try to obtain the opportunities left by their predecessors.

This senior has a high vision, and he doesn't want his family's inheritance to fall into the hands of mediocre people. Therefore, many tests were set in the cave, and only the monks who passed the test could obtain the inheritance he left behind.

Many monks from the An family went to that cave before, but basically they gained very little and their income was limited.

An Lei, the patriarch of the An family back then, secretly sent away some promising An family monks after the great changes in the An family and realizing that he could not control the situation.

Before An Xiaoran and his younger brother An Moran were sent away, An Lei personally told An Xiaoran the secret of this cave.

From then on, An Xiaoran kept this secret in her heart and never revealed it.

After entering the Taiyi Gate, Meng Zhang did not covet his apprentice's secrets, and never took the initiative to inquire about them. Because this was a family secret, An Xiaoran didn't tell the door.

Some time ago, An Xiaoran's Qi refining period was completed, and he began to prepare for the foundation building period.

With her aptitude, even if she doesn't take the Foundation Establishment Pill, she is very confident that she can succeed in Foundation Establishment. But just to be on the safe side, she still wants to make more preparations.

Now the scale of Taiyi Gate is getting bigger and bigger, and the various rules are getting stricter. Even if she is the master's direct disciple, she still needs to spend enough good deeds of the sect to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

An Xiaoran's martial arts accumulation is far from enough, and she is proud and arrogant, but she is unwilling to accept funding from senior brother Niu Dawei.

In desperation, she thought of the cave left by the senior monks.

If you can get a big harvest from the cave, maybe you can get enough good deeds from the sect.

So, An Xiaoran called his younger brother An Moran, and they went to this cave together.

This cave is located to the west of the Endless Sand Sea, within the territory of Feihongzong.

The two siblings rode the Red Feather Eagle and flew for thousands of miles all the way. It took a lot of effort to find the cave left by the predecessors.

After the two siblings entered the cave, relying on their extraordinary aptitude and good understanding, after a lot of tempering, they passed five levels and killed six generals, finally passed the test left by their predecessors, and obtained the inheritance left by their predecessors.

After this experience, both siblings have become much more mature. Especially An Xiaoran, his cultivation has become more perfect, and he is closer to the foundation establishment period.

After a month of delay in the cave, the siblings finally came out with a full load.

When they had just left the cave, before they had time to summon the Red Feather Eagle, a flying boat descended from the sky and landed in front of the two of them.

A middle-aged monk with a refined appearance and a gentle temperament flew out of the flying boat, flew over the heads of the two, and looked down at them.

"Zeng Jiexiong." Three words popped out of An Xiaoran's mouth, with indescribable hatred in his tone.

"Good niece, we haven't seen each other for some years. In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big." Zeng Jiexiong said with a smile.

There were great changes in the An family back then, and Zeng Jiexiong took control of the An family, forcing An Xiaoran's siblings to flee.

Later, Zeng Jiexiong even instructed the bandits to chase and kill them. If it didn't happen that Meng Zhang appeared, the consequences would probably be disastrous.

An Xiaoran has never forgotten this big enemy for many years.

In her plan, when she succeeds in cultivation, she will return to An's family, defeat this big enemy openly, and take back everything in An's family.

However, she never thought that she and her younger brother would be stopped by Zeng Jiexiong at this time and this place.

This place is the big secret of the An family, and only the direct descendants of the An family will know it.

Could it be that, among the direct descendants of the An family, someone betrayed the family and took refuge in this guy.

Zeng Jiexiong seemed to know what An Xiaoran was thinking, and he gestured towards the flying boat.

Several monks that An Xiaoran was very familiar with jumped out of the flying boat.

They looked at An Xiaoran and his brother, their eyes averted a little, and they didn't dare to look directly at them.

"Good niece, those who know the current affairs are brilliant. Your uncles and uncles have all served the old man honestly. As long as you hand over the things you got from that cave, the old man will never treat you badly."

"Don't even think about it." An Xiaoran refused without thinking.

The senior who set up this cave at the beginning was very capable, not only is it difficult for outsiders to enter this cave by force, but also the clansmen of the An family, if they cannot pass his test, they will also not be able to gain anything from the cave.

If a powerful monk wanted to forcibly break this cave by relying on his cultivation, he would burn everything and destroy all the relics completely.
