Chapter 123 The Fourth Disciple (Part 1)

"For myself." Xu Changqing knew that things had reached a critical moment and could ask the old man to help him, so he said: "If Xuangang Heavenly Demon succeeds, the first thing that is unlucky is the Nine-Rule Idle Man who has repeatedly opposed him! The reason why Xuangang Heavenly Demon is to use the opportunity to go against the sky to steal the power of the starry sky and the earth energy of the dragon vein, form the Nine-Turn Demon Pill, and achieve the body of the demon god. If he succeeds, let alone my lineage, even the entire cultivation world will fall into his hands. At that time, his power will inevitably affect the secular world, I am afraid..."

Speaking of this, Xu Changqing didn't say anything anymore. He asked the old man's mind to think according to the way he said. Soon, the old man's face changed slightly, his breathing became much heavier, and then closed his eyes, the expression on his face gradually became solemn, and then said in a calm tone: "What do you want me to do?"

Xu Changqing knew that things had been successful, and showed a smile, and soon disappeared on his serious face again, saying, "I want to see the Regent Zaifeng."

The old man frowned, turned to look at Xu Changqing, and said, "See Zaifeng? What do you do when you see Zaifeng? He is just a puppet, and do you need to arrange what person you want to meet in advance?"

"Although he is a puppet controlled by the Xuangang Heavenly Demon, the puppet can sometimes play an extraordinary role." Xu Changqing smiled confidently and continued: "I can't go to see him directly. He has many suspicious lines by the Xuangang Heavenly Demon. If I go to see him rashly like this, can I convince him second? If the Xuangang Heavenly Demon knows, I'm afraid that not only Zaifeng will be in danger, but even the son emperor in the Forbidden City will be in danger."

"Isn't this just right to take advantage of your wishes?" The old man snorted coldly and said, "Don't think that my eyes are dizzy. I have seen and kept it in my heart when I have done things in the past few years. If it weren't for your instructions, how could he have so blatantly colluded with the revolutionary party?"

"The prosperity and decline of a dynasty are both destined and human-made. No one is the eternal master of the world." Xu Changqing did not deny it and said slowly: "But if the fortune of a dynasty has not yet been completed, someone forces to change its fortune, or causes it to fade prematurely, or allows its fortune to extend, then it will be an unimaginable disaster for the whole world, and even the world of cultivation will be affected." Then he said in a deep voice: "You should be clear that I will not directly interfere in such secular disputes. At most, I will only point out a general direction from the side. As for how the Chen family does it, it is the Chen family's business, and didn't the Chen family also make friends with the Beiyang New Army? As long as the Qing court can control the Beiyang New Army, what are the revolutionaries who are afraid of?"

"Hmph! The army of jackals. The new Beiyang army is not much better than those revolutionary rebels, and it is more dangerous." The old man glanced at Xu Changqing with great disdain, then closed his eyes slightly, as if he was listening to the opera, and seemed to be thinking about things, and his fingers kept tapping the table. Xu Changqing did not disturb him, picked up the tea cup and drank the tea quietly. He had said everything he should say and had done everything he should do. If the old man still did not agree to introduce Zaifeng, he could only think of other ways to pick up Zaifeng.

After a long time, when the opera on the stage was singing Huang Zhong and killing Xiahou, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Xu Changqing, and said with a solemn expression: "It's okay to ask me to help you, but I have a condition."

"Please say, Mr. Zhang." Xu Changqing did not hesitate and said, "As long as I can do it..."

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to do it." The old man showed a scheming smile, nodded slightly, and shouted to the door: "Sanbao, come in."

With the old man's scream, the young man standing at the door immediately pushed the door in, with a slightly excited expression on his face. He had obviously heard a lot of content, and seemed to be no stranger to Xu Changqing's identity, looking at Xu Changqing with a respectful look. After he came in, he stepped forward, bowed to Xu Changqing first, and then bowed to the old man: "Old man, is there anything you want to call me?"

"You stand now!" The old man ordered, then turned to look at Xu Changqing and asked, "Changqing, what do you think of this kid?"

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, looked at the old man with a little confusion, and asked, "Old Zhang, why did you ask like this?"

The old man said with a slightly impatient look: "Tell me directly how good his potential in practicing Taoism is!"

Xu Changqing seemed to have grasped the old man's mind, and did not ask any more questions. He looked at the young man in front of him carefully and said truthfully: "The bones and meridians are all excellent, and he has practiced some Taoist qi cultivation skills and has some skills. However, he is over the age of entering the Taoist practice, and is also contaminated with cause and effect. Unless he has great magic power or peerless elixirs to help him open his meridians and gather qi again, he will never be able to touch the edge of the great way in his life."

Although Xu Changqing's words were true, they sounded particularly harsh. The young man's originally straight body couldn't help but hunched over.

The old man showed a mysterious smile on his wrinkled face and said, "Then can the Shangqing Dragon and Tiger Pill at the inner gate of Longhu Mountain be considered a peerless spiritual medicine?"

"What?" Xu Changqing was startled, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The Shangqing Dragon and Tiger Pill of the Dragon and Tiger Sect is called the world's number one foundation-building elixir. It has the effect of transformation. Even if people who have passed the threshold for cultivation have taken it, they can return their bodies to the age of eight or nine that is most suitable for cultivation. In terms of efficacy, they are similar to Xu Changqing's complete method of initiation and transmission, and it has no harm to the human body, and there is no limit to forty. Unfortunately, this kind of elixir has rarely been circulated in the world. Even the inner mountain gate of Longhu Mountain is only a few, which can be said to be extremely precious. Therefore, Xu Changqing naturally felt extremely puzzled about the elderly having this elixir.

When the old man saw Xu Changqing's expression, he understood what he was thinking, explained, and said, "A few years ago, Zhenren Zhang from Longhu Mountain asked me to do something. This Shangqing Dragon and Tiger Pill and a small golden elixir of Longhu Mountain are thankful gifts."
