Cultivation of Immortality

Su Wan didn't know that he had misunderstood. Seeing him crying, she was very moved and said softly, "I don't want to leave you when you are at the critical stage of your cultivation, but there is really no way. Don't cry, call me Master. When you encounter danger in the future, you can report that you are the seventh-generation disciple of Xuanfang Sect. Although Xuanfang Sect is not a big sect, its disciples are still feared by some people compared to casual cultivators. I know that you are kind-hearted and will not cause trouble for Xuanfang Sect. But if you really cause a big disaster that we can't afford, you can only bear it yourself, understand?" Xun Yi lowered his head and said, "Your kindness is appreciated by your disciples. The teacher's kindness is like a mountain. The disciples have never repaid a little bit. How dare I add trouble to you after leaving? The disciples will still walk as casual cultivators. If Xuanfang Sect is in danger, the disciples will come back as disciples to protect the gate. The disciples remember the teacher's kindness, but do not want to perform the ceremony of worshipping the master. I hope the master can understand." After speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. It takes nine kowtows to worship the master, but he only kowtowed eight times. Su Wan looked at him sadly, and after a long time, she took out a jade slip and handed it to him, saying, "I have sorted out the herbs I know and the insights I have gained from alchemy, and also recorded the form-escape technique I have practiced. You should study it carefully these days, and just put it in the stone chamber before leaving. If you recognize me as your master in your heart, then I will recognize you as my disciple, but unfortunately, this is all I can do for you." Xun Yi took the jade slip and held it tightly in his hand. Su Wan looked at him quietly and said softly, "Master really hopes that you can tell us all the secrets, so that maybe you don't have to leave Xuanfang Sect."

Xun Yi's chest rose and fell. Thinking of how Zheng Tianjun killed so many great cultivators, this should have been a major event that shocked the cultivation world at that time. He slowly raised his head and said, "Master, have you heard about a thousand years ago when a great cultivator from Pu Yunzhou came here to make trouble?"

Su Wan frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I rarely travel and don't like to inquire about these things, but I can ask your second uncle now, he should know."

Xun Yi was a little disappointed and shook his head quickly, saying, "Master, it's fine if you don't know, Don't ask me. Anyway, I have to go out to find the herbs for refining Guling Dan. I am destined to go out and make a living. "Su Wan sighed and said, "What is needed to refine Guling Dan is Hongyangjue. The pattern and origin can be found in the jade slip. Because I will be away for too long, I will tell you the second thing as well. It is Soul Devouring Grass that is more than 800 years old. Don't be anxious to find herbs. It's better to focus on cultivation. If you can make a pill and explain the matter of the great supernatural cultivator, your master may give you a Guling Dan for your cultivation. "Hearing her say this, Xun Yi realized that his previous guess might be wrong. Naturally, he couldn't ask such questions. He forced a smile and nodded. Su Wan patiently told him some things about collecting herbs and traveling outside. She wanted to persuade him again and tell him the secret of the great cultivator, but she finally held back. The disciple is loyal to the oath, and it is not good for her master to force him too much. After giving him a few jade boxes for storing herbs and a medicine furnace, Su Wan said softly, "I will leave early tomorrow morning. You don't have to see me off. Go."

After Xun Yi bowed, he looked deeply at his master and left sadly.

He did not sleep that night. He sat at the entrance of the cave in the cold wind, looking at his master's courtyard. The road ahead is long. He didn't know if he would be able to come back to see his master after this separation. He felt the fear of facing thousands of miles of road after leaving Zheng Tianjun. The more he practiced, the more he felt weak. It was much more dangerous for a Kairong period cultivator to go out alone than for a child to walk thousands of miles alone. This fear made the parting even more sad.

The next morning, he watched his master and his two sisters fly away on the sword, and he felt infinitely desolate in his heart.

Not long after the master left, the fifth senior sister Hou Juan opened a small cave on the opposite cliff, saying that the master had asked her to look after Xun Yi. The fifth senior sister looked about 40 years old and had a very kind temperament.

Xun Yi thanked the fifth senior sister and returned to the stone room to sit for a day. He couldn't raise his spirits in the following days. After the lesson of the last time he was possessed by the devil, he didn't dare to take risks again. This also became his excuse to avoid cultivation. He really felt bad, so he took out the jade slip given by the master to study for a while. The strange and wonderful alchemy materials recorded in it could still arouse his interest. As for the recipes and alchemy methods, he didn't want to read them after reading them for a while. It was only because they were taught by the master that he had to use his spiritual consciousness to imprint them into his mind. With his current cultivation, it was still very tiring to do such things.

He wanted to practice the Form-Escape Technique, but it was very difficult to learn. Although the master explained the method in detail and he could understand it, he just couldn't use it well. There were seven levels of skills, and he didn't even master the first level after six months. The fifth sister said that she only took three months to practice the second level. She thought that Xunyi didn't have the understanding in this area. Xunyi, who was already lazy, accepted her point of view. Although he didn't give up, he practiced even less. The days passed like this, and it was the end of the year again. Xunyi's cultivation barely reached the middle stage of the fifteenth level. He knew his condition. Every day when he woke up, he would remind himself to cheer up, but the next moment he would find an excuse to rest for another day. The fifth sister didn't urge him, and I think the master had given instructions.

As spring passed and autumn came, more than half a year passed. Xunyi looked down on himself more and more and began to force himself to practice. From the inside, he is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. This delay cannot be entirely attributed to laziness and timidity. When he was holding a fire of depression in his heart, he wanted to leave when he was at the eleventh level of Qi Gathering, but Now that he thought about it calmly, he became timid. It was true that other disciples went out to practice during the Kailuo period, but most of those people had been practicing for decades and had heard countless stories about the world of cultivation before he entered the world of cultivation. For three or four years, he has been practicing hard and has very little understanding of the world of cultivation. It would be fine if he was a fool, but he is not. Even when he behaves willfully due to emotional fluctuations, he still has a brain. , that is being cruel, not being stupid.

In the midst of procrastination and the rising contempt for himself, the courage inspired by resentment accumulated little by little. After escaping for more than a year, he finally couldn't stand his behavior under the pressure of his inner sense of responsibility and began to concentrate on his work. Practice.

The fifteenth level of Qi Gathering is a hurdle for most monks. Xunyi, who has reached the middle stage of his training, did not open the last bottle of elixir given by Lord Zhengtian. This was not just to keep it for Xiyang, he was a pointer. For those who are sensible, the elixirs given by Lord Zhengtian must be used according to their intentions. If it were the fourteenth level of Qi Gathering now, he would open the bottle of elixirs without hesitation, but now he still wants to keep it longer. Spend some time practicing the Escape Technique.

When the north wind roared, Fifth Senior Sister changed her previous judgment and felt that Xun Yi did not lack the understanding to practice the Escape Art. She might have gone astray before, otherwise she would not have been able to practice to the second level in the next few months. , although this speed cannot be said to be outstanding, it is reasonable, and Xunyi once again accepted her point of view.

After practicing, Xun Yi and Mu Hui got closer and closer. Among the seven generations of disciples of Yu Hua Peak,

, Mu Hui's cultivation level is not high, but in terms of experience, she can be ranked in the top three. When Xun Yi wants to find someone to learn the knowledge of cultivation world, she is naturally the first choice. Mu Hui is good to Xun Yi It couldn't be better, she taught everything that should be taught and what should not be taught at the same time. Her patience and kindness made her only disciple Sun Yan's eyes turn red and blue with envy.

Xunyi went to Hongshi Valley for dinner that day and overheard Lu Yan scolding his eldest disciple Zu Jue. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Lu Yan rarely loses his temper. Looking at the other disciples in the valley, they all looked sarcastic. He Secretly pulled Lang Ming aside and asked what happened.

Lang Ming sighed and said, "Have you ever heard of the great competition held once every ten years in the sect? It will start next month. Many disciples from other branches have sent letters of challenge these days. I heard from several master uncles that they every They would do this even in a big competition. It’s so bullying. What’s even more annoying is that they’re asking the disciples from Red Stone Valley to hook up with the female disciple from Yu Hua Peak. See what they’re doing to us!”

Xunyi asked in confusion, "How do you say this?"

Lang Ming got angry and pushed him, saying, "You are said to be smart, but why can't you understand this? If they bully us like this, Yunyuya's senior sisters and uncles will definitely stand up for us, and compete with each other." , wouldn’t there be opportunities for contact with these people?”

Xunyi laughed dumbly and said, "It's a shame these people can figure it out."

Lang Ming said displeased, "Are you a disciple of Red Stone Valley? How can you still laugh when people bully us like this? If I have your cultivation, I will definitely challenge you. Are you going?"

Xunyi grinned and said, "I've only reached the twelfth level. It would be embarrassing to go there, so let's forget it."

Lang Ming stared and said, "The ten-year competition is for Qi-gathering disciples. Counting me, there are only four Qi-gathering disciples in the valley. You can compete if you are above the tenth level. My senior brother is only at the eleventh level. Your cultivation level is The highest one, I didn’t let you go to cross-level challenges. You only need to defeat one or two disciples of the same level to get out of this bad mood. If you don’t go, you will be really sorry for the many pills that Master and uncles have given you. The medicine is over, Master is not that kind to you, our three direct disciples."

There are words of hardship when looking for Yi, but there is only a bitter smile.

Lang Ming said angrily, "If you don't accept the challenge, I'll really look down on you. Unfortunately, we all regard you as the hope of Red Stone Valley and point our fingers at you to be proud." After he finished speaking, he turned away angrily.
