Chapter 402 The road is always the most ruthless

Watching Dou Tianfeng leave, Shi Xuan thought of his own disciples. Wan'er was basically being trained by Granny Yu. Being able to achieve high-grade golden elixirs had little to do with him. Two disciples, Liu Xi and Chen Ran, had been teaching him for a long time. It was too short, only seventeen or eight years, and he was far from being a good master.

Returning to the second floor of Tianya Haijiao Tower, Liu Xi was waiting for Shi Xuan. He returned to the sect yesterday and did not know that the master was guarding the Tianya Haijiao Tower. It was when he went to the master's cave to pay his usual visit today that he found out that the master had returned. So after attending During the ceremony for Dou Tianfeng to become a true disciple, after some sighs, he hurried to the Tianya Haijiao Tower to pay his respects. However, before he could even talk to Shi Xuan for a few words, the head of Lingxing and Dou Tianfeng came to see the true disciple, so he had to go down below first. Waiting.

"You said you were going to exchange for the Nine-turn Nine-Returning Jade Liquid Divine Pill?" Shi Xuan walked slowly to the futon and sat down. His tone contained neither praise nor condemnation, which made Liu Xi feel confused for some reason. Quietly relieved.

Liu Xi looked at his master who was still as young as before, and then thought of his gray hair, and sighed: "Reporting to master, my disciple's lifespan is less than fifty years, and the hope of a high-grade golden elixir is slim. If it lasts another twenty or thirty years, , The body and soul are exhausted, and I am afraid that even the middle-grade golden elixir will be difficult to achieve. "

After finishing speaking, he saw that Shi Xuan's face did not change at all, and continued: "Originally, the disciple must have a high-grade golden elixir, but more than forty years ago, Junior Sister Chen Ran died while looking for the golden elixir, and the disciple suddenly woke up. , If you cannot achieve a high-grade golden elixir within sixty or seventy years, then the following years will be in vain, and there is no need to waste your life."

"Like Master Uncle Zhou, Master Yu, and Master Ming, one chose the middle-grade golden elixir after searching for more than a hundred years, one persisted for nearly two hundred years but eventually fell into pursuit of the high-grade golden elixir, and one although he is still continuing, but There seemed to be no hope, so the disciple decided to redeem the Nine-turn Nine-Returning Jade Liquid Divine Pill."

In fact, what he didn't say in his heart was that a person like you, master, who is so amazing and talented, and who can achieve spirituality and immortality within three hundred years of practicing Taoism, is not the same as monks like us who can only be regarded as relatively qualified. Can be used as an example.

Looking at the gray-haired middle-aged monk in front of him, he could vaguely see the stubborn zombie-faced child from the past. Shi Xuan sighed in his heart. He thought that among the two disciples, Liu Xi was the more competitive one and was burdened with deep hatred. A child who puts his whole heart and soul into the cultivation of Taoism is more likely to achieve a high-grade golden elixir. After all, he has a firm will. As long as he takes revenge, he will find the direction and path again with his stubbornness and determination.

Unexpectedly, after taking revenge, he would focus most of his thoughts on his family, and his firm will to practice Taoism was gradually worn away by the life he enjoyed.

On the contrary, Chen Ran, who Shi Xuan was not very optimistic about at first, has been determined to pursue the road of high-grade golden elixir. Although he has gone through hardships and dangers, he never gave up. Unfortunately, God was not merciful, and he missed it by just a little, and finally fell into a cave somewhere. Under the inner core formation, Shi Xuan felt regretful for a while, just like he felt for Yu Ruoshui's death.

There is no way back when the sword comes out, leaving no way out, either life or death. This is the path Yu Ruoshui has chosen, and it is also the path that is most consistent with "The Secret Immortal-Slaying Sword Box".

When she went out to look for opportunities for high-grade golden elixirs for the last time, she only brought her natal sword box with her. The other talismans, secret treasures, and life-saving trump cards were all left in the sect. Far away in the void universe, I want to find an opportunity in the dangerous killing of the demon.

At that time, Shi Xuan was in the Great World of Yuan Mang. After returning to guard the Tianya Haijiao Tower, according to other disciples who were also collecting materials on the stars in the void universe, they could see from a distance that Yu Ruoshui's last sword was powerful and bright. It was incomparable, as if all life was burned into that sword.

If she hadn't been facing several golden elixir stage demons, I'm afraid she had already taken that step and achieved a high-grade golden elixir. Even so, after the sword passed, only one seriously injured Golden Core Demon remained in the void.

It's a pity that there is no if under the great road.

"Master, I'm asking you for the last time, have you really decided to take the Nine-turn Nine-Returning Jade Liquid Divine Pill?" Shi Xuan took back his thoughts and asked Liu Xi calmly.

Liu Xi took a deep breath, recalling in his mind the glory of rebuilding the family over the years, and the joy he felt when his descendants respectfully and admiringly called their ancestors. Moreover, even if the master is a true soul, it is important for his disciples to achieve high-grade golden elixirs. It was also unable to provide much help, so he spoke firmly: "Disciple has made up his mind to live up to your expectations, Master."

Shi Xuan waved his hand and said: "Choose your own path. You can go to the Great Sun Puzhao Building to redeem it yourself." Even if Liu Xi chooses to continue to search for high-grade golden elixirs, he can only use the innate Bagua and Tai Chi diagrams to deduce his opportunities. Where, and combined with his character and path, to give a reminder, there is no way to directly let him achieve a high-grade golden elixir.

Speaking of which, neither Master Yuan Shen, Master Yang Shen, nor Master Tianxian can directly provide help to the disciples in the two steps of breakthroughs in the high-grade golden elixir and Yuan Shen, unlike when Master Yuan Shen and Master Yang Shen cross the heavenly tribulation. On the other hand, the Heavenly Immortal True Monarch who can open up a small world will be of great help.

Therefore, once a celestial true king emerges from the sect and survives the second catastrophe of the decline of heaven and humanity, the number of true gods in the sect will increase rapidly, increasing several times. It is not that the number of people who have achieved Yuan Shen has increased, but that There are more real people surviving after Yuanshen, and based on the accumulation of time, the number will naturally increase.

Liu Xi respectfully resigned. Over the past forty years, he had adjusted his body and mind. He just waited for the magical elixir to be obtained and then retreated to break through.

…………

Five days later.

Shi Xuan stood at the Tianya Haijiao Tower with his hands behind his back, watching the wind and clouds surging above the Penglai Sect, and the dragons and tigers intersecting. The center was the retreat place in the back mountain of Tianji Peak.

The entire Penglai sect disciples were talking about it.

"Is this the change in the sky when the golden elixir is achieved?" A new disciple asked the senior disciples.

High-grade golden elixirs are basically achieved outside, and there are only a few middle-grade golden elixirs in the past few hundred years, so the so-called senior disciples who were asked were almost speechless, but fortunately the situation was the same as recorded in the Taoist books. , so everyone vowed: "Of course it's a golden elixir phenomenon, I've seen it more than once..."

Dou Tianfeng was about to go into seclusion in the Lei Mansion World. Seeing this change, he stopped to watch and felt a little excited. After all, this meant that the sect had another golden elixir master, but considering that he had achieved success within the sect, he was probably The middle-grade golden elixir has just become a divine soul, and the smug Dou Tianfeng slightly looks down on this fellow disciple.

…………

After several days of consolidation, Liu Xi came out of seclusion and prepared to go to Tianya Haijiao Tower to thank his master and then watch Taoism.

Divine elixir can only increase the possibility by 30%, which makes Liu Xi quite proud that he has successfully achieved the middle-grade golden elixir. Along the way, he has not concealed his golden elixir aura, so that his disciples, peers and those who are still in the spirit can see him. The elders who were wandering around during the period were all envious and envious, especially those elders in the Soul Stage who were not pursuing high-grade golden elixirs in the first place. When they thought that even if they relied on the Nine Turns Nine Returning Jade Liquid Divine Pill, they would not be sure to achieve the golden elixir. I was so sad and dejected.

"Disciple, thank you Master for your teaching and cultivation over the years." Liu Xi came to Tianya Haijiao Tower and bowed to the ground happily.

Looking at Liu Xi, who was high-spirited and even looked a bit younger, Shi Xuan half-opened and half-closed his eyes, and said calmly: "Get up, as long as you have this intention. The twenty-five jade slips on the shelf behind are the sect's You can watch it yourself."

Liu Xi knew that his master had always had this attitude, so he didn't think much about it and went to look at the jade slips with great joy. But suddenly he saw his master open his eyes, a smile on his face, and asked strangely: "Master, what happy event happened?"

Shi Xuan nodded: "Qingyue is back." Ming Qingyue is still pursuing the high-grade golden elixir these years. Even if she only needs to retreat for a few years, she can condense the demon elixir and enjoy ten thousand years of life.

"Haha, I may not have seen Uncle Ming for a long time, so I just want to pay my respects." Due to Shi Xuan's relationship, Liu Xi was also familiar with Ming Qingyue, so he responded with a smile. After all, he had just achieved the golden elixir. How can Jinyi walk at night? He always has a bit of a show-off mentality.

Shi Xuan didn't speak, and continued to close his eyes, his expression calm again.

When Liu Xi memorized all the Taoist techniques he could practice, Ming Qingyue's figure appeared at the door of the second floor.

He hurriedly greeted him, saluted and said, "Master Nephew has met Master Ming."

"Haha, Liu Xi, have you achieved the golden elixir?" Ming Qingyue was dressed in purple, her style remained the same. While replying to Liu Xi's words, she looked at Shi Xuan with a smile and saluted: "Qingyue pays homage to Master Shi."

Just as Liu Xi was about to answer, he heard his master say with a smile: "Why do you and I need so many gifts? Haha, I haven't congratulated you for achieving the top-grade golden elixir. Your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled." Shi Xuan stood up from the futon and said to Ming Qingyue congratulated.

Liu Xi was immediately speechless. He thought that Uncle Mingshi, who had been wandering in the perfection of the soul for more than two hundred years, had no hope of achieving a high-grade golden elixir. In the end, he would definitely turn to the middle-grade golden elixir. Who knew that she would actually Who can endure that kind of torture and get through this hurdle! For a moment, he thought about himself and couldn't help but feel disappointed. Maybe if he persisted a little longer, there would be hope for a high-grade golden elixir?

…………

In the Nanman Continent, deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

In the sky above a valley, a dark black centipede that was a hundred feet in size was spitting out black, smelly venom. It had thousands of pairs of huge feet, and its body was covered with a layer of warm light.

After a moment, it stopped and made a buzzing human voice: "You actually dare to preach and absorb the power of wishes in the tribe under the care of my God Gu Sect. You really don't take me in the eyes of Bai Centipede! Fortunately, you can run fast. I'm facing another calamity, otherwise I'll definitely capture you for cultivation. How dare a mere Yin-level Shinto monk be so bold!"
