Chapter 247 100 years old, breakthrough
Time passes.
Yu Xian gradually adapted to the identity of senior brother.
Because he is a sick person, he does not need to be responsible for some of the matters that the demon-slaying team needs to deal with, and he does not need to go out to fight with others.
This was one of the reasons why he had to get hurt in front of Ruan Linlin.
After all, he didn't know anything about Zhan Hong's cultivation techniques. If he wanted to talk about some unique secret arts and spiritual techniques, he could also use Tiandao spiritual energy to cheat and quickly understand them.
But cultivating skills is the foundation of a monk, and his deception skills are not so powerful that he can imitate other people's skills at a glance.
Once he needs to take action, unless all witnesses can be silenced, his identity will be easily discovered.
Ruan Linlin felt sorry for her senior brother's injury, took the initiative to take over the daily affairs, and asked him to take good care of his injuries.
I naturally follow the good in my spare time, but I have no choice but to move.
While Ruan Linlin was away handling the work of the demon-slaying team, Yu Xian would return to the Blood Demon Secret Realm and arrange for his disciples to line up to break through.
According to the frequency of one to two breakthroughs a month, step by step, you can advance your cultivation towards the realm of perfecting the golden elixir.
in a blink.
Another half year has passed.
This day.
Yu Xian stood on the terrace of the cave and looked into the distance. He saw that the top of the mountain turned yellow at some point, indicating that it was autumn.
He counted it with his fingers and then smiled.
"Looking back at the old age, it turns out that I have been alive for a hundred years."
Before he knew it, he had reached his 100th birthday.
If most mortals and Qi-training monks don't have the opportunity, living to this age is already the limit, and any longer will be a blessing.
But at the age of 100, he was in his prime and vigorous.
He gently knocked on the handrail, his face showed a bright light, like a young man sailing, high-spirited and about to travel far.
Ruan Linlin, who had walked into the cave at some point, raised her head and saw Yu Xian's posture, and was stunned for a moment.
The only thing she was dissatisfied with was her senior brother.
It's just that the senior brother is sometimes too conservative, to the point of being a little pedantic, like an old man in his twilight years, with a sullen air and no vitality at all.
But at this moment, she realized that she was far from fully understanding her senior brother.
"Brother!"
With a bright smile on her face, she waved to Yu Xian.
"Is your injury healed?"
Before she finished speaking, her people had already flown up.
Yu Xian's face immediately darkened, his lips turned slightly white, he held his chest and exhaled a breath.
"The blood demon ancestor's spiritual consciousness and secret skills are really powerful. I thought I would be able to fully recover within half a year of practice.
But now it seems that it still needs some time to rest, but it is no longer a problem to think about it a little bit.
Junior sister, what trouble have you encountered? "
"I'm not in trouble, but senior brother, you haven't recovered from your injuries, so you can't take action rashly. I can still handle the Demon-Slaying Team."
Ruan Linlin looked worried and helped Yu Xian sit down beside him. She also carefully felt Yu Xian's pulse with a very intimate gesture.
After confirming her feelings, Ruan Linlin already regarded herself as her senior brother's woman, and she no longer paid attention to some of her previous precautions.
Yu Xian patted Ruan Linlin's palm and said warmly:
"I'm not even incapable of doing anything. If you run into trouble, you must discuss it with me. You can't make the same mistakes again."
Ruan Linlin turned around and sat on Yu Xian's lap, put her hands around his neck, and said in a coquettish tone:
"Brother, I'm not a fool. How can I fall down twice in the same pit?"
Yu Xian smiled fondly with his eyes: "In my heart, I wish you could always be my little fool."
"Senior brother, you have never said these words before."
Ruan Linlin pouted, but she couldn't stop the smile in her eyes.
"Because you were not like you are now, so naturally you can't hear these words of mine. In fact, I have practiced them countless times in my mind."
Yu Xian hugged Ruan Linlin's soft waist with a somewhat casual attitude.
Anyway, I have touched everything that needs to be touched, and I don’t care if I touch it for a while longer.
He has never been a polite gentleman.
Of course, he still kept the bottom line and didn't really do anything to Ruan Linlin. At most, he held her hand and hugged her, and even gave her first kiss to her real senior brother.
A very pure and platonic spiritual love.
God knows how hard it will be for someone like him who is used to women to endure this.
For example, they were just hugging and chatting, drinking and admiring the moon, but for no reason, their hands almost reached where they shouldn't be.
That kind of suffering was literally killing him.
"Then I still like you the way you are."
Ruan Linlin didn't know the struggle in Yu Xian's heart, and said with a smile.
Since the senior brother was injured, this little half a year can be said to be their most intimate moment.
It was precisely like this that Ruan Linlin realized that she didn't understand her senior brother as well as she thought.
She didn't doubt that her senior brother had changed.
It just felt like her previous stereotypes had been broken, giving her a magical feeling of discovering a new world.
But I have to say that this new feeling made her feel like she couldn't stop.
She lay on Yu Xian's chest and listened quietly to his strong heartbeat. After a while, she asked:
"Senior brother, have you really decided to stay?"
Yu Xian nodded slightly: "With my qualifications and age, I no longer have the chance to compete for the spot of the true successor, so it is better to stay and continue to be in charge of the demon-slaying team.
With enough merit here, it may be a way forward. "
Ruan Linlin was not prepared for him, so a lot of information was accidentally leaked by her.
He didn't give too deliberate guidance, he just silently pieced together the few words Ruan Linlin said, and slowly formed a relatively complete logical chain.
For example, Zhan Hong.
He and Ruan Linlin were actually quite different in age. Ruan Linlin was only in her early 120s and was already in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
And he was four out of two hundred, almost twice as much as Ruan Linlin.
But the two are indeed of the same generation and have reached the stage of discussing marriage.
Zhan Hong also competed for the position of true successor a hundred years ago, but unfortunately failed, and has been working abroad since then.
It was not until this time that the beast tide was approaching that he defeated many of his fellow disciples and won the opportunity to travel with Ruan Linlin and join the demon-slaying team in Mingyue Tiancheng.
In fact, there are only five people in the entire demon-slaying team, all of whom are Jindan monks. They do not belong to each other and work on their own.
However, the five of them also have disciples, disciples, and servants, which is actually equivalent to the combined power of five golden elixir levels, and the power is more powerful and powerful, without too much encumbrance.
Of course, Ruan Linlin was just starting out and didn't have that many connections. She usually assisted Zhan Hong as his deputy.
Ruan Linlin's purpose in the Demon-Slaying Team is very simple, which is to accumulate merit, compete for true inheritance, and go on a blind date.
Zhan Hong was born in the Kuimufeng lineage of the Xuanyang Sect and was a disciple of True Lord Kuimu. However, since he failed in the election for the true successor, he had fallen out of favor in the heart of True Lord Kuimu.
It was not until later that he returned to the sect in the later stages of breaking through the Golden Core and was expected to reach the Nascent Soul realm, then True Lord Kuimu paid attention to this disciple again and gave him the opportunity to marry Ruan Linlin from Qunxing Peak.
The Star Peaks are passed down from generation to generation, but a Nascent Soul Lord will appear every five hundred years or so.
Although the number of people is sparse, it is the inheritance line with the deepest foundation of Xuanyang Sect. When the strength is at its weakest, there are two true kings, one old and one young, sitting in charge.
After Yu Xian learned about Ruan Linlin's background, he was even more grateful that he did not attack her rashly.
Otherwise, it might really cause him a big trouble.
Now that the demonic disaster is gradually easing, Ruan Linlin has completed the gold plating, and it is time to return to the sect to participate in the true election.
Some time after every beast tide, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will hold an auction, which is also one of the major sources of opportunities for Xuanyang Sect's Yuanying.
About every two auctions, Xuanyang Sect will hold a true election to select the next generation of true disciples.
This is the most important event of Xuanyang Sect.
Because this election not only represents the inheritance of the past and the future, the sect also wants to give the qualified true disciples of the previous generation a chance of Nascent Soul.
This is the foundation and strength of the sect.
How many Jindan masters dream of the Yuanying opportunity, but in the hands of Xuanyang Sect, each of the true disciples can get a share.
The previous generation of true disciples will lose their status as true disciples, regardless of whether they can succeed in breaking through.
What Ruan Linlin is fighting for is the identity of the true disciple and the chance to become a Yuanying.
Logically speaking, Zhan Hong, played by Yu Xian, should go back with Ruan Linlin at this time.
But how could he really dare to go back? Everything would be exposed as soon as he started to do it, so he came up with a reason that can be called a panacea - he was saving merits outside and planning for Yuan Ying opportunities.
The Xuanyang Sect has an extraordinary foundation. It is said that there are eight if not ten Yuan Ying opportunities accumulated in the sect's treasury.
And these opportunities are prepared for those disciples who contribute to the sect.
However, according to reliable research, there are only two or three disciples who can gather enough merits to exchange for the opportunity of Nascent Soul in the sect's treasure house within a hundred years.
But these have nothing to do with leisure money.
He is not really Zhan Hong, and he has no intention of continuing to act like it.
He just wants to send Ruan Linlin away now, otherwise if the current plot continues, he will sooner or later become a beast.
Moreover, it seems that Ruan Linlin doesn't seem to be in love, and it is unlikely that she will be devoted to him, a demon cultivator who takes on other people's identities.
By then he will probably have a lot of enemies.
Especially after understanding Ruan Linlin's background, this premonition is particularly strong.
Ruan Linlin also knew that senior brother was worried.
Although the relationship between the two was getting warmer day by day and they were in the period of passionate love, and she really wanted her senior brother to stay with her all the time, she was not a willful person, so she still nodded reluctantly and said:
"Then senior brother, you have to take care of yourself. I have secretly released the news to the demon-slaying team. Senior brother, you can rest here to recover.
They all thought that Senior Brother was practicing secret arts in seclusion, and they hoped that Senior Brother you could stay in seclusion for as long as possible, so that they would not disturb you casually. "
The five members of the demon-slaying team each have their own factions and are in an internal competitive relationship.
The two of them rested, and the others shared more of their achievements.
Yu Xian smiled: "I'm not a child. Besides, I'm just mentally injured now. If I really take action, they may not be my opponents."
After a pause, he continued:
"After you return to the clan, don't worry about me. You should know the importance of the true election.
So during this period, you must get rid of all distracting thoughts. Even I am not enough to arouse your thoughts.
And before the real election is over, I will refrain from disturbing you. "
Ruan Linlin said unhappily:
"But I think my condition will be better if you write to me often, senior brother."
Yu Xian gently stroked Ruan Linlin's head, with a little sadness in her eyes.
"Be good, I don't want to see you as sorry as I am."
Ruan Linlin saw the way her senior brother was filled with all sorts of melancholy, and she knew that it was his lifelong regret that he was not selected as a true legend.
She hesitated for a while, nodded heavily and said:
"Senior brother, I will definitely become a true disciple!"
"Um."
Yu Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not really Zhan Hong, and he has no interest in continuing to flirt with girls for him.
And if he says something wrong when writing a letter and causes unknown consequences, then he will regret it.
This is the saying that if you don't do something, you won't do anything wrong.
…
One month later.
Ruan Linlin said goodbye to Yu Xian and returned to her clan.
At this time, according to rumors, Zhan Hong should be practicing in seclusion, so Yu Xian was completely liberated and this sudden crisis came to an end.
Regardless of whether Ruan Linlin can become a true disciple, she will never come back.
As a single disciple of Qunxing Peak, even if Ruan Linlin fails to become a true disciple, her teacher will still find a way to prepare the opportunity for her to have the Nascent Soul.
Taking on a disciple is like giving birth to a child. Giving birth to one is a blessing of countless favors. After all, there is no second choice.
But just give birth to a group of people as long as they can survive and grow up. Unless they are particularly outstanding, they will receive preferential treatment.
the other side.
The business of the Blood Demon Order is on the right track, not only earning him a lot of spiritual stones, but also sending a steady stream of demon leeks.
Yu Xian silently waited for the moment of breakthrough.
The 300 million spiritual stones in his hand were gradually decreasing.
But according to the current progress of making money and spending money at the same time, he will definitely be able to break through the Nascent Soul realm before the 300 million spirit stones are consumed.
But before he broke through, someone broke through earlier than him.
This day.
Mingyue Tiancheng, Nancheng District.
A thundercloud suddenly gathered over a certain house, and the monks nearby felt it.
"Golden Pill Thunder Tribulation!"
Some monks who were still busy with their practice and life paused and looked up at the natural thunder clouds with envy on their faces.
I don’t know when they will be qualified to survive the tribulation.
But more people were in a hurry, driving their spirit beasts to their destinations.
Mingyue Tiancheng is built on the fourth-level middle-grade spiritual veins and has abundant spiritual energy. The chances of monks here breaking through the golden elixir are much higher than those in the outside world.
Even in the Nancheng District, you will see thunder tribulation phenomena that break through the golden elixir every once in a while.
Therefore, many people are not surprised and do not stop because of it.
In the house.
Lei Jie identified the target of the tribulation and struck randomly.
However, these calamity thunders were first weakened by a five-color umbrella like a luogai, and then the remaining thunder power was calmly absorbed by a bright yellow pill furnace.
In the alchemy furnace, the khaki heaven and earth spiritual fire and the calamity thunder consumed each other.
After all, the tribulation thunder was powerless and was wrapped in spiritual fire. After a moment, it turned into purple thunder pills the size of dragon's eyes.
The thunder pill flew out of the alchemy furnace and fell into the hands of the alchemist.
Luo Han swallowed these thunder pills one by one as if he were eating dates.
There was a burst of lightning on her body, face, and even eyes, but it was the power of thunder and calamity that had been weakened twice and refined by secret techniques.
With her current strength, she can completely bear it.
The last tribulation thunder fell, and she exhaled a fiery breath, her brows filled with energy, as if her whole body was glowing.
"Haner, congratulations. From today on, I will call you Master Luo."
Yu Xian stood aside, feeling a kind of cultivated happiness.
Luo Han is very self-aware.
"Thanks to my husband for preparing the Golden Elixir for me. He also found the five-color Tianluo Umbrella as my natal magic weapon to weaken the thunder calamity. He also gave me yellow mud fire as my natal spiritual fire. He also supplemented my One Heart and One Pill Skill. He was promoted to a high-level skill, so that he could successfully experiment with the thunder pill method that the ancestor had guessed.
Otherwise, I would have been struck to death by lightning just by myself. "
While Yu Xian was working hard for his Nascent Soul realm, his woman did not stand still.
Of course, the main thing is that Luo Han has to refine the heretic golden elixir for him, and he can't stop even if he wants to.
Although her One Heart and One Pill Skill is only a mid-level skill, it is very consistent with the way of fellow alchemy practitioners, and after Yu Xian's derivation and completion with the spiritual energy of heaven, it has already been promoted to a high-level skill.
Therefore, every time she refines a furnace of pills, it is equivalent to a training session.
Just by repeatedly refining an elixir, the effect of practice will become worse and worse.
But fortunately, the grade of the outer Taoist golden elixir is not low, and the materials are precious, allowing her to sense the formation methods of different golden elixirs again and again, so that she can succeed in one fell swoop.
Yu Xian glanced at Yu Lan, who was standing beside him with a silly look, and felt a little resentful that iron could not make steel:
"Some people understand your husband's hard work, but some people don't take your husband's help seriously."
Yu Lan, who was still lingering in the late stage of foundation building and couldn't see the shadow of breakthrough at all, had a stagnant smile on her face and shrank back with a guilty conscience.
"It's not me, I didn't."
Yu Xian waved his hand and said angrily:
"come over."
Yu Lan reluctantly stepped forward and said softly:
"Ms. sir."
Yu Xian pinched Yulan's face with both hands, pulled it a little harder, and then rubbed it hard.
“If it weren’t for the fact that you are so pretty and cute, I would have spanked your ass.
After taking so many elixirs from me, and being reborn by your little sister Yi, I still see some hope of a breakthrough. "
Ever since he indulged Yulan in her cultivation and ruined her practice, Yulan seemed to have returned to her original dull self.
What can he do about this, he can only continue to pamper her.
Yulan's face was deformed, and she pouted and said vaguely:
"Mr., let's meet Luni."
"Okay, for the sake of today's happy day, I won't argue with you. Practice hard and strive to make a breakthrough before you are a hundred years old. Otherwise, you will have to take the path of fake elixirs."
Yu Xian hugged Magnolia and took a peck.
"Silly girl, please be more careful."
Yu Lan hugged Yu Xian tightly and said nothing, just laughing stupidly.
She knew that her husband was doing it for her own good, but she preferred her current life. Cultivation had always been a very strange thing to her.
Even if she really can't break through, being able to accompany her husband through this period of time is already the happiest and luckiest thing for her.
Zhao Shiwen on the side was full of envy, but she didn't make any move. She just did her duty silently until Yu Xian waved to her.
She then smiled and carefully hugged Yu Xian with Yu Lan in Yu Xian's arms. (End of chapter)
