Chapter 256: Changchun Fountain of Youth, Black Level Buddha Qi

Outside a village in Moutong Prefecture, Shanju County, Dali Kingdom, a group of five people rode slowly on horseback.

This team of four women and one man was Xu Xin and four princesses of Dali Kingdom who had just married and came out of Dali City for their honeymoon.

They came here for a legend that was circulated in Dali.

It is said that in the mountains north of Shanju County and south of Tubo, there is a place called "Eternal Spring Valley", where everyone lives to be over a hundred years old, and the centenarians all have black hair and red faces, like teenagers.

"Xu Lang, can we really find that Eternal Spring Valley!"

A Zi's voice sounded on a horse next to Xu Xin.

"A Zi, are you doubting the strength of this son-in-law? This son-in-law has been dispatched personally, and everything he does is easy to do."

Xu Xin said very confidently. Although he was not sure, how could he show that he couldn't do it in front of his woman!

"Boast! Big talker"

Azi has always been unconvinced by Xu Xin, and she continued to provoke him.

"Azi, you know best whether I can do it or not! I don't know who was crying and shouting last night, brother, I was wrong."

Xu Xin glanced at Azi. He was sometimes more cunning than a needle. Azi dared to provoke him on the wedding night, saying that he couldn't do it and should slow down. Isn't this something he should remember?

Along the way, Azi was "favored" by someone every night, and every time she was defeated by someone, the only thing left on her body was her mouth.

"Pah!"

A blush appeared on little Azi's face, and then she rode her horse to the front and stopped talking to a shameless guy.

"Hahahaha..."

Xu Xin laughed complacently, and Azi whipped him again when she heard it.

Mu Wanqing, Wang Yuyan and Zhong Ling were also laughing, and it was unclear whether they were laughing at Xu Xin or Azi. Anyway, since they followed Xu Xin, they found that he was... quite interesting.

To the west and north of Moutong Prefecture in Shanju County are Gaoligong Mountain and Daxue Mountain. There are high mountains and steep ridges everywhere, and the terrain is quite dangerous.

Xu Xin and his team found the locals in this mountain village to ask for directions, and then explored the vast snow-capped mountains north of Shanju County.

From the locals, they learned that the Immortal Changchun Valley was hundreds of miles ahead, but the ravines were deep and dense, and the high peaks blocked the way, making it difficult for outsiders to enter the valley. The group followed the mountain road, getting higher and higher, and the road became more and more steep and rugged, and later the horses could no longer walk.

Fortunately, Xu Xin and his team's martial arts were not weak. A Zi had been following Xu Xin all the time, and her skills were rare in the world, and she had already opened up the Ren and Du meridians.

Although Wang Yuyan had not been learning martial arts for a long time, she had the Xiao Wuxiang Gong taught by Li Qiushui, and with Xu Xin's personal guidance these days, her skills improved rapidly.

Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling were the weakest, but they had some martial arts skills before, and with Xu Xin by their side, they were not slow on the road.

The road they continued to move forward was steep and dangerous, and they had to climb vines and ropes to go up. When it was getting dark, they came to a deep ravine, and the terrain was cut off, and there was no way forward. If they went forward, they could only go down into the deep valley, but they might not be able to cross the valley bottom and climb to the other side.

"Let's rest tonight and continue on the road tomorrow!"

Xu Xin made a decision immediately. Little A Zi escaped the disaster when they camped in the mountains that night. It was not that Xu was worried about the big crowd, but he had always wanted to find an opportunity to sleep with the big quilt.

But they still had to travel tomorrow, so they had to rest tonight. When they found the Immortal Changchun Valley, he could already imagine some beautiful scenes of taking a mandarin duck bath with the four sisters using the Changchun Immortal Spring.

Xu Xin decided to rest and camp, and everyone took action on their own, picking up firewood, cooking, and Xu Xin, the head of the family, naturally did the most.

Mu Wanqing has been traveling around the world with her mother Qin Hongmian for many years, and her cooking skills are quite good. She cooked, boiled water and cooked porridge. She picked some tree mushrooms and put them in the porridge, which immediately smelled fragrant.

It is said that the locals in Dali have the habit of eating mushrooms and also like to pick mushrooms. After Xu Xin came to Dali, he also went there several times with the Princess of Zhennan.

It tastes very good, white, big and delicious... uh, I'm talking about mushrooms.

That night, by the fire under the tree, everyone spread out the felt they brought, which made Xu Xin fulfill his wish to sleep with a big blanket. But nothing was done, which was a little less interesting.

Early the next morning, Xu Xin and his team continued on the road and met the local Nu people who were collecting swiftlet nests among the high mountains and cliffs. From them, they learned that the Immortal Changchun Valley was just ahead. They continued on the road, and after reaching the approximate location, they each dispersed and searched for a while.

"The divine book has gone with Xiaoyao, and only the Changchun Spring remains in this valley? So, what is the divine book that Xiaoyaozi took away? Is the Changchun Spring really that magical?"

In front of a big tree in the deep mountains, Xu Xin looked at some characters engraved with hieroglyphs. This is the hieroglyphs of the local Naxi people. He learned it because he was bored. He used it to identify the approximate location of the Immortal Changchun Valley, which is just ahead.

"Swish!"

Xu Xin suddenly punched upwards, and a purple light shot straight into the sky. He was sending a signal to A Zi and the others who were searching separately, and then he jumped up first and crossed a cliff.

"Plop!"

Xu Xin suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes. He seemed to fall into the water. A large amount of spiritual energy rushed into his body, and his body was numb, as if he was about to pass out.

He just felt very comfortable, with a trace of black and purple true qi flowing, and his mind was also sublimated, as if he had returned to the mother body, and he unconsciously closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

He had an illusion that he was evolving, immersed in a special kind of "sitting and forgetting", without self or others, without heaven or earth, and in a daze, his body became more perfect and strong, and the Yijinjing became more refined, as if he was only a little away from breaking through the black level pagoda.

His body was constantly "evolving", his mind was a chaos, as if he had returned to the most primitive state of human beings, his body and mind were fully close to nature, and even became a part of nature.

Sometimes he was a mountain, sometimes water, sometimes a morning dew, sometimes a small grass, an ant, and an eagle.

In the end, Xu Xin felt as if he had turned into a tree, with countless tree roots entangled in his body. His body and mind had become one with the tree. The tree was him, and he was the tree.

His mind seemed to have transformed into a sapling, breaking out from the depths of the earth, growing vigorously, facing the wind and drinking dew, facing the morning sun every day, and growing into a towering tree day after day with the moon dew, year after year, day after day.

"Xu Lang, are you okay?"

Suddenly a voice woke Xu Xin up from this state. He was struck by lightning, and his eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened. His dark eyes were like two black holes, and all the vitality around him rushed to his body, and a wisp of ethereal and faint black air was surging.
