Chapter 236: Repaying the favor to Master Chu
My life is at risk!
Palace Master Chu watched helplessly as the sea of blood rushed towards his face, and the endless smell of blood filled his senses.
But at this moment, he didn't have much fear.
It was probably because he had rehearsed it many times in his mind during the days of being imprisoned. When this moment actually came, he felt a sense of relief.
Hundreds of years of practice are gone in the blink of an eye.
He recalled the time when he became a disciple of True Lord Sanyang. At that time, he was very high-spirited and was still the most outstanding successor of the Chu family today.
He thought that the position of true successor was within reach, but he was defeated by his arrogance.
His magical power was broken, and his inner pride was shattered.
Perhaps it was because he had been on the road for so long since he was young and had never tasted the taste of failure. In that battle, he failed to recover.
He rejected his master's good intentions, obeyed the family's wishes, and released his sect.
In recent years, he seems to be carefree and romantic, focusing on the mountains and rivers, but this is not an escape.
If there wasn't still a trace of unwillingness left in his heart, how could he be so easily aroused by President Bai's desires and reach this desperate situation today.
Between life and death, the knot that had always existed in Palace Master Chu's heart suddenly disappeared.
There's really no point in competing against your old self.
It's just...it's too late.
Palace Master Chu glanced at this world with nostalgia for the last time, and then his body and mind were frozen. A cold wind blew through his body like a knife, and finally exploded behind him.
The bald devil in front of him turned to one side in dissatisfaction.
"Why not kill him?"
"Palace Master Chu and I have always had a happy relationship. He just made a mistake in his trip, and I no longer care about him."
I saw a person walking outside the hall, it was Yu Xian.
He nodded slightly towards the frightened Lord Chu, and said jokingly:
"Master Chu, you owe me your life today."
Palace Master Chu said expressionlessly:
"You are the one who kills me, and you are the one who doesn't kill me. It doesn't matter whether you owe me or not, you can just take this life."
Yu Xian laughed loudly: "Master Chu, you are really powerful, you can see through my little thoughts at a glance.
That's right, killing you will provoke the hostility of the respected master and Xuanyang Sect. Although respecting the master is not important in my opinion, I came to the Xuanyang realm to make friends, not to use weapons.
Besides, I have other reasons for leaving you alive. "
Although Palace Master Chu said this, he was somewhat grateful in his heart, but he was still being stubborn at this moment.
"My life is already in your hands, what else can I do for you?"
Yu Xian shook his head and said, "Not for me, but for the customers of Datonghui."
"My dear master, True Lord Sanyang, will be here soon. It will be dangerous for me to stay here any longer. However, those monks who trusted Bai and the master of the palace to deposit the spirit stones in Datonghui are innocent.
After I leave, I will leave another amount of spiritual stones to Datong Hui to barely maintain the Great Love Project.
I spare your life just to ask you to advise others not to act rashly with this spiritual stone, leaving others with a glimmer of hope.
Of course, the advice has been left, it’s up to you whether you listen or not, but...you bear the consequences. "
Killing Palace Master Chu is just the worst option.
From the beginning to the end, Yu Xian had no intention of taking Palace Master Chu's life. He only valued Palace Master Chu's net worth.
After all, it was a personal grudge between the two of them that they had touched Palace Master Chu's spirit stone.
If Master Chu's life was to be taken away, it would be due to his grudge against the Xuanyang Sect. Not only would he not be able to gain more benefits, but he would be in vain to provoke the Xuanyang Sect's pursuit.
Of course, if Palace Master Chu doesn't know how to commend himself and thinks that Xuanyang Sect's background makes him confident, he wouldn't mind testing the effect of the Heaven-Deceiving Technique.
Fortunately, Palace Master Chu has the consciousness of being a prisoner.
There is another most important reason.
He ran away, and someone had to take the blame for the huge debt left by Datonghui. This also paved the way for him to take control of Datonghui again in the future.
The successful experience of Datong Society in Wangshu Mansion is enough to prove that his idea is feasible.
It's just that it lacks the power of Dingding, so it seems passive.
When he breaks through to the realm of Nascent Soul and his combat power increases greatly, then the Great Harmony will be the perfect path for him to break through to become a god.
Therefore, the reputation of Datonghui cannot be completely ruined.
Palace Master Chu had just walked through the realm of life and death. He would not have thought that Yu Xian had sinister intentions. Instead, he was surprised that Yu Xian was still thinking about the monks who had been tricked by him.
"Could it be that the Great Union is real?"
After the Demon Lord appeared, in his eyes, Datonghui was already a completely demonic organization. It was good to benefit oneself without harming others, but at this time, he was still thinking about those who had been tricked by them.
Yu Xian smiled: "Master Chu, I have long said that all living beings in Datong are equal. Whether they are immortals or demons, as long as they abide by the rules and have a heart to help others, they are like me."
"I also sincerely want to come here to establish the Great Harmony, but unfortunately the worldly perspective does not allow me to wait.
There are even those like Palace Master Chu who want to get a share of the meeting.
This is how Datong Hui has come step by step to where it is today. "
As he spoke, he said to the bald man:
"Senior Jiang, I know you want to kill him, but for my sake, please unlock the restrictions on Palace Master Chu."
The bald man frowned, and then impatiently withdrew the power from Palace Master Chu.
"Master Chu, see you again when we are destined."
Yu Xian nodded towards Palace Master Chu, and then disappeared with the bald man.
Palace Master Chu felt the long-lost power in his body and tried to summon the magic weapon as a reflex, but failed.
"damn it!"
Palace Master Chu cursed secretly, remembering that all his wealth had been squeezed out.
He lifted up the unconscious boy on the ground and injected his magic power.
"Junior Brother Fu."
"Senior Brother Chu, it was you who saved me? Who was that person just now? So strong. It seemed like the power of Zhenjun's domain just now, but I didn't have the slightest ability to resist."
When the boy woke up in a daze, he was faced with a series of questions.
Palace Master Chu sighed and said slowly:
"Junior brother, it's a long story..."
…
"Ms. sir, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
On a small spaceship, Yulan stood on the front deck, facing the high-altitude wind, and asked Yu Xian.
Behind her were a group of people with their ears raised.
Luo Han, Zhao Shiwen, Wu Laozu, Qiu En, Qiu Yourong...
There is also Ah Miao who is held in Luo Han's arms.
As for Ah Meow, she has long been accustomed to the darkness of the spirit beast bag, mainly because she is too big and doesn't have the means to make it big or small.
This small airship can fill the cabin with just one of them.
Yu Xian said: "I have to choose a day to run away, and I wasted a whole batch of elixirs. I also want to finish refining the elixirs before leaving. It's a pity that I can't do this."
Yulan looked worried: "Then where are we going now?"
"You have to ask Shiwen about this, she has already arranged it."
Yu Xian rubbed Yulan's head, and seeing her worried look on her face, he couldn't help but said with a smile:
"Don't worry, no one is chasing you. I just left for a while. If you want to come back in a few years, we can come back."
Yulan's face showed a rare hint of confusion.
"It's a pity that I have been planting the flowers in the yard for many years, and I don't know how many will be alive when I come back next time.
Sir, when will we stop running around? "
Starting from the small Prince Fu's Mansion, Kyoto, Shangyang City, Zhao family land, Shangyang Mountain, Qiufeng City, Wangshu Mansion...
Along the way, if she hadn't been accompanied by her husband, she would have been lost.
In her heart, she still longs for a stable life.
I just want to have a small home of my own, plant flowers, raise fish, harvest in autumn and store in winter, then my life will feel very happy.
Yu Xian was stunned for a moment, then gently pinched Yu Lan's cheek.
"Don't worry, you won't have to run away soon."
"What's the matter? We agreed to marry a chicken and a dog, but now we don't like being a husband?"
Yulan blushed with embarrassment and threw herself into Yu Xian's arms.
"No, I will go wherever my husband goes."
The people who were being forced to eat dog food behind them said: "..."
Luo Han and Zhao Shiwen's eyes were full of envy.
They know that Magnolia's status in the heart of her husband (master) is different, and it is a position that both of them will never reach.
Patriarch Wu looked numb and said he was used to it.
As a person who makes alchemy tools, he just wants to know when the option mentioned by the young master will be paid. He is a little homesick.
Qiu En, who was under house arrest while refining elixirs, looked at his daughter with a genuine expression, as if to say, I was wrong, that is a scumbag.
Then I saw a pair of sparkling eyes full of yearning.
Qiu Yourong held his heart with both hands and murmured:
"It turns out that this is the true face of the president. He is really gentle."
Qiu En: "..."
He really wanted to jump off the flying boat and be done with it.
I just thought that although Yu Xian had restricted his freedom over the years, he had also cultivated him regardless of the cost, making his cultivation improve by leaps and bounds at the age of a hundred.
Maybe he also has a chance to get a glimpse of the golden elixir realm, and it's a very good chance.
After all, he himself refined thirty or forty furnaces of heretic golden elixir.
This favor is really hard to repay.
So I had no choice but to be out of sight and out of mind, tilt my head to one side, close my eyes and meditate.
Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
If President Bai wanted to attack his daughter, he would have eaten her so many years ago that not even the bones and dregs were left, so there was no need for him to worry.
…
Datonghui, Fucheng headquarters.
Bang!
Three copper coins fell from a simple turtle shell, fell on the table, and were twisted one by one by two white and slender fingers.
"how is it going?"
Qi Chunshen asked nervously.
He never imagined that the great and bright Datong Society, which in his eyes had a promising future just a few days ago, would suddenly come to an end.
First, the property in the meeting was auctioned, and then the president ran away within a few days of his downfall!
Is there anyone behind the promise?
Where is the Ten Thousand Years Organization and the Venerable Transformation God?
If his life wasn't still in someone's hands, he would have run away no matter what.
In fact, he can also run.
Long before the property was auctioned, Yu Xian had arranged for the preliminary members of the Datong Association to hibernate.
But he thought that his identity had been exposed and hiding would be in vain. He might as well follow fellow Taoist Lao Gui and become a left-behind person with honor.
As for those fake elixir monks who simply owed debts, they were not so lucky. They were still pressured by contracts in Fucheng and were still working hard to repay their debts.
It's just that the city is so big, even if the nearly one hundred fake alchemy monks were reduced by one or twenty after the battle of the Demon Slayer Army.
But now there is no demon to get rid of, and the remaining people are also severely affected.
They have no sense of belonging to the Datong Association. They only want to pay off their debts and regain their freedom as soon as possible, and they are not that sensitive to the situation.
Gui Shou put away the turtle shell magic weapon, shook his head and said:
"The hexagram of great misfortune, but there is a glimmer of hope in the great misfortune. It must be the way to survive that the president has left for us."
Qi Chunshen's face fell.
"Old Turtle, why do you think it's like this all of a sudden? I'm about to gather enough merit and be free soon."
Gui Shou said: "You have really collected enough, are you willing to leave? You have made a lot of extra money these years, right? I heard that the next golden elixir seeds of your Qi family have been selected.
Where do the resources come from? Datong will not give them to you. "
Gui Shou's eyes were bright and he was more confident than Qi Chunshen.
"And I believe in the president, he will come back."
Just based on the ten heretic golden elixirs and hundreds of foundation-building elixirs in his storage ring, he believed that the president would definitely come back again.
The premise is that he can survive these ten years.
That's right, the task given to him by the president is to maintain the mess of Datonghui for another ten years. After ten years, he will truly become the president's confidant.
Until then...
Gui Shou lowered his eyes.
He does not have the physique of those geniuses and monsters, and is not even as good as an ordinary genius. The reason why he has been able to reach this day step by step, in addition to the opportunity of the turtle shell magic weapon he obtained in his early years, is also due to his indomitable heart and his indifferent attitude towards life and death.
Now he is a fake elixir, but fake elixir is by no means his end.
Qi Chunshen sighed.
"hope so."
…
One day later.
True Lord Sanyang, who had traveled thirty thousand miles, met his disciples and children in the palace of the city lord.
"The disciple has met the master."
Chu Tian went to pay homage.
True Lord Sanyang said with a nonchalant expression: "Get up."
Then he looked at the boy beside him.
"Qingzhu, you used the Wanli Blood Talisman to warn you, what happened?"
The boy's common name was Fu Yan and his Taoist name was Qingzhu. When the elder asked, he quickly told him everything that happened when he arrived at the city lord's mansion.
"That day, I came under the command of the great master, traveling under the stars and at night..."
In front of the true king, he did not dare to hide anything, and there was no need to hide it.
However, when Yu Xian arrived, he had already been subdued and unconscious and did not hear the conversation between the two, so he knew very little.
"The strange Nascent Soul Master knocked you unconscious, is it gone?"
Sanyang Zhenjun was still waiting for the next step. He had never thought that the boy had talked a lot before, but only one sentence came to the main matter.
The boy said awkwardly: "As for the old master, it's gone."
"Tian Xing, tell me."
Sanyang Zhenjun finally looked at his once most beloved disciple, and this time he saw something different.
"Eh? Tianxing, your spirit?"
The Master of the Chu Mansion looked peaceful on his face, with a feeling of being unfazed by favor or humiliation.
"Master, my disciple was lucky enough to see through the mystery of life and death, and the sea of consciousness has entered the state of transformation."
Sanyang Zhenjun was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, okay, okay!"
"This trip as a teacher seems to be a worthwhile trip. You can get such good news. You are mostly sure about the transformation of the sea of consciousness and the third calamity of the Nascent Soul."
Among the three catastrophes of the Nascent Soul, the first catastrophe is the transformation of the three phases of essence, energy and spirit. It is also called Shattering Pill and Transforming into an Infant. Only those who have completed the transformation of essence, energy and spirit are qualified to undertake the thunder tribulation.
But the calamity of transformation is like changing from a cocoon to a butterfly. Once you cannot break free from the shackles of the cocoon, you will be suffocated in it.
What the Infant Transformation Pill helps is the calamity of transformation.
The second calamity is the thunder calamity, which tests the hard power of the monks and relies solely on the monks' own methods.
The third tribulation is the tribulation of the mind and spirit, also called the tribulation of the inner demon, which is invisible and formless and usually occurs during the thunder tribulation.
Once they are unable to survive, they will be disturbed by inner demons and die directly from the thunder disaster.
Palace Master Chu was imprisoned for more than a year, lost all his strength, and was always under pressure of life and death. In the end, he was almost killed by the Bald Demon Lord.
After truly experiencing life and death, he had a profound enlightenment, reconciled with his younger self, and allowed his sea of consciousness to transform, his spiritual strength greatly increased, and he had the confidence to overcome the evil tribulation in his heart.
Palace Master Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that the price is a bit heavy."
As he spoke, he talked about what happened in recent years.
But as he spoke, he concealed the fact that Yu Xian was a demon cultivator.
The main reason is that Yu Xian is very good at life. Although he took his spiritual stone, his natal magic weapon Liuhe Shuttle, which he had been tempering for hundreds of years, was left in Duan Hong's hands and was not taken away.
So he spared Duan Hong's life.
In this way, Yu Xian became a disciple of a certain large family with mysterious origins in the words of the Master of Chu Palace. With the protection of Yuanying True Monarch, he organized a great association and tricked him into losing all his money.
Sure enough, without the influence of demon cultivators, Sanyang Zhenjun just thought it was an interesting story.
Instead of being very angry, he was made to laugh and was in a very good mood.
"Tian Xing, you are the master of a house after all. You have been practicing for hundreds of years, but how come you are fooled by a fledgling boy?
This is because you are too greedy and should be punished.
Fortunately, blessings and misfortunes depend on it. Without this disaster, you would not have gained today, otherwise I would have vented my anger on you.
But that boy underestimated me too much. Could it be that I would be tempted by his mere hundreds of millions of spiritual stones? He also deliberately avoided seeing me.
Otherwise, I really want to see what such an interesting person is like. "
Anyway, the spirit stone has been taken away, so he can naturally brag about his innocence. If he really had to put hundreds of millions of spiritual stones in front of him, he couldn't guarantee whether he would be tempted.
Palace Master Chu said with a bitter look on his face: "It's just that the spiritual stones accumulated by my disciple over the years are gone, and the Infant Transformation Pill is nowhere in sight."
His natal magic weapon is still there, and his strength has not been reduced much. The sea of consciousness is in the process of transformation. He is sure of the inner demon tribulation and is 20% more sure of breaking through the Nascent Soul.
Only without the Infant Transformation Pill, one might fall directly in front of the first calamity.
True Lord Sanyang lightly glared at his disciple.
"Could Master be so unkind that he wouldn't even part with an Infant Transformation Pill? It's just that this Infant Transformation Pill is not just given to you, you have to return it.
When you break through Nascent Soul, you will be stationed at Sanyang Peak as your master for three hundred years. "
Palace Master Chu immediately thought of something and looked shocked: "Master?"
Sanyang Zhenjun looked calm: "I have been sitting in the mountain gate for eight hundred years, and I have to go out to find my own opportunities.
But everything has to wait until you succeed in breaking through. If you fail, then all talk is over. "
"As for that kid, we must not go unpunished, otherwise no one will dare to bully my Xuanyang Sect disciples."
True Lord Sanyang said to the boy: "I have decreed that anyone who can provide clues to Bai Gu will be rewarded with the qualifications of an outer sect disciple.
If you can capture Bai Gu, you will be granted the position of direct disciple of Sanyang Peak. "
The boy who lost half of his fortune after delivering a letter loudly replied:
"Follow the Lord's orders!" (End of this chapter)
