I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 125 Mental Test

"You, you, you, are you a human or a ghost?!" Wang Cheng on the side was stunned and couldn't help but tightly grasped the Spirit Weapon in his hand. If Lin Chen answered something wrong, he would attack without hesitation.

Zhang Mengyao, Zhang Zhiming and Zhang Hao also looked at Lin Chen solemnly, ready to take action at any time.

Because the way Lin Chen appeared just now was too weird.

In the intertwining of light and shadow, an illusion appeared out of thin air, and finally turned into a real human figure, and in their perception, Lin Chen seemed to appear out of thin air!

Fantasy world? Conversion between virtual and real? Teleport?

Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the four people, but were quickly rejected, because these methods were simply not something that the Qi Refining Stage monks could do!

In response, Lin Chen just smiled softly, raised his white but strong hand, and put it under the sun.

Suddenly, a clear shadow was reflected on the ground, and at the same time, he exuded an aura full of vitality.

It's people. The four people present relaxed subconsciously.

"It turns out he's a human being." Wang Changcheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked with curiosity on his face, "Let me go, what method are you using, and why do you appear in such a scary way?"

Zhang Mengyao and the other two also cast inquiring glances.

To be honest, Lin Chen's appearance did not scare them, but before he made a sound, none of them noticed his existence. This kind of concealment method was very scary.

Because this means that as long as Lin Chen is willing, he can transform into the top assassin at any time and carry out a terrifying assassination that follows him everywhere!

"It's just some little tricks I got from my predecessor's Cave Mansion, but it makes you laugh." Lin Chen said casually.

What he just performed was naturally an improved invisibility technique.

Use the changes in light and shadow to interfere with visual perception, and then use the power of the soul to reduce the sense of presence. In this way, even if your own shadow is reflected in the other person's pupils, you will ignore it as if you haven't seen it.

Is this considered a small trick? So who are we if we don’t see through these little tricks?

This thought flashed through the minds of the three of them.

Zhang Zhiming was silent for a moment, and then said: "Junior brother is really humble."

He was originally wondering why the ancestor of the sect would appoint a true disciple, and what's the trick in this?

Now it seems that he was overthinking it. This stealth technique alone is enough to make the opponent a top assassin, not to mention other unknown methods.

And what puts even more pressure on him is that he can't see through the depth of the opponent at all, which shows that the opponent's strength is not weaker than his own. If this is the case, then how can he still occupy a dominant position among the true disciples?

Zhang Mengyao on the side didn't think too much, but stared at Lin Chen and said softly: "You are very strong. I hope I can fight with you one day."

"Then please give me some advice, senior sister." Lin Chen smiled slightly.

He was not arrogant or arrogant. After all, that was not only meaningless, but would also cause more trouble.

Because Lin Chen didn't know if it was just because of his attitude that he endured the second generation of immortals, beating the young and the old, and endured endless troubles.

Then Lin Chen turned his eyes and looked at Zhang Hao who was meditating beside him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, long time no see."

Zhang Hao, who was just reminiscing, felt that Lin Chen's method just now was a bit familiar. He felt the other party's probing gaze and couldn't help but take a step back subconsciously.

He was no stranger to Lin Chen. He had always been used to Spirit Weapon and Spirit Talisman suppressing people, but in the outer sect competition, Lin Chen's dodge method was unexpectedly demonstrated to him.

The fireballs, wind knives, and frost blades that covered the entire arena could not hit the corners of his clothes at all.

On the contrary, the opponent sauntered out from the sky full of attacks, and used his superb spiritual bullet technique to forcefully break through several of his defenses, almost seriously injuring him.

Even Lin Tianhang, who won the first place in the outer sect competition, was not so afraid.

Because the opponent relies on the magical and unpredictable spiritual fire and the Spirit Weapon that is stronger than him, instead of just relying on his own means to defeat him like Lin Chen did.

Not to mention the weird and unpredictable methods just now, Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel that if he could not provoke this type of guy, he should try not to provoke him!

"Now that everyone is here, let's go. Don't keep the ancestors waiting." Lin Chen said calmly.

"Junior brother said it is true." Zhang Zhiming nodded, and then walked directly in front of everyone, "Then let's go."

Soon, five people walked towards him one after another.

Whether it was the tree man responsible for guarding the Foundation Building Stage or the huge formation covering Azure Cloud Mountain, they all began to automatically give way to a path as they walked past. It was obvious that they had already made arrangements.

"Senior Brother Lin, when did you come?" Along the way, the other people were silent. Instead, Wang Cheng came up and called Senior Brother Lin very affectionately.

Lin Chen smiled softly and said: "Before you say that I am the personal son of a certain ancestor..."

"Ahem, senior brother must have heard wrong." Wang Cheng interrupted quickly, and then changed the subject, "Senior brother, what you did just now is amazing, can you teach me? I'm willing to trade with you!"

"Sorry, this is my way of keeping the bottom of the box. I can't redeem it easily." Lin Chen smiled slightly and refused directly.

Even if this method needs to be changed, you have to wait for it to be updated a few versions and leave some backup before changing it. Otherwise, what if the enemy gets it one day and turns it against you?

"Senior Brother, don't worry, I can definitely offer you the starting price. My Senior Wife is the elder of Danxia Peak, and she has countless precious Spirit Pills. Senior Brother, I can get whatever you want. If it doesn't work, the worst I can do is take advantage of my Senior Wife to take a shower. It's time to steal..." Wang Cheng didn't seem to give up and kept trying to persuade him.

"Oh?" Lin Chen glanced at him with a half-smile, and asked a very crucial question, "Then how do you know when your wife will take a bath?"

"I, I..." Wang Cheng stuttered suddenly, his face turned red for a moment, he was speechless, and he quickly covered his mouth.

Hearing that Wang Cheng finally calmed down, Zhang Zhiming, who was leading the front, couldn't help but snorted coldly and said:

"Junior brother, don't pay attention to him. This guy is like this. I heard that something went wrong while practicing a divine soul method. There is something wrong with his brain. He is stupid all day long."

Wang Cheng's eyes bulged, but he didn't dare to refute. Instead, Lin Chen smiled and said:

"Sometimes it's better to be naive. Not having so much thoughts makes it easier to make friends and concentrate on cultivation. Isn't this a kind of innocence?"

But then he changed the topic and asked: "But senior brother, I heard that before taking over as a true disciple, there is a so-called mental state test. What is this about?"

"Don't worry, this state of mind test is not to screen people, but to improve your state of mind so that you can move forward better on the road of cultivating Immortal Dao." Zhang Zhiming explained.

"What's the use of perfecting your state of mind?" Zhang Hao on the side heard this and couldn't help but frowned.

"For Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Building Stage monks, it is of little use, but for us true disciples who are committed to the Gold Core, it is very important. I wonder if you have heard of that purple scene one thousand two hundred years ago. Cloud chaos?" Zhang Mengyao said from the side.

"Huh?" Lin Chen frowned slightly and cast an inquiring gaze.

Lin Chen knew very well what he recorded in the training notes of Qing Yunzhong's predecessors, but when it came to history, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

The same goes for Zhang Hao next to him. After all, his daily life consists of getting up early, practicing, refining elixirs, practicing, going to bed, getting up early... In this cycle, except for the obvious benefits, he will not pay attention to other things at all.

"One thousand two hundred years ago, the founder of our sect, Gold Core, Ziyun Perfect Being, cut his favorite disciples into human pigeons, imprisoned their bodies and souls in trees, and then planted them all over his Cave Mansion. "Zhang Mengyao hesitated for a moment, and then said a little seriously.

"What?!" Zhang Hao couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he heard this, and even Lin Chen couldn't help but look solemn.

Peeling skin and cramps, cutting into human beings, imprisoning souls, and enduring eternal torture. What kind of reason can allow a righteous Gold Core Perfected Being to do this?

"Why did he do this?" Lin Chen asked this key question.

"Company." Zhang Mengyao lowered her eyes, then fell silent for a moment before spitting out these two words.

"Company?" The two of them were stunned when they heard this. The answer exceeded their expectations.

Zhang Mengyao was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said:

"Ziyun Perfected Being lost her parents when she was young and was adopted by the sect. She has had a deep relationship with the sect since she was a child and has many close friends.

"But since he achieved the Gold Core Perfected Being and enjoyed eight hundred years of immortality, the Fellow Daoists and Taoists who accompanied him have fallen one after another. The disciples he accepted failed to attack the Gold Core, and others with white hair were given away to black. Send people.”

"Under such a series of blows, Ziyun Perfect Being came up with an idea. Instead of watching the people he loves the most grow old, it would be better to extract their souls and refine their souls, and use the body of the spirit tree to cast the secret of longevity. In this way, , they will not grow old, but... will be together forever."

"This..." Hearing these words, Zhang Hao and Wang Cheng, who shut up, couldn't help but feel horrified.

In order for the one you love to be with you forever, a Gold Core Perfected Being would be so crazy?

When Lin Chen heard this reason, he frowned and became thoughtful.

Because he remembered the three Gold Core Perfected Beings he had seen.

Jianxuan and Qingyang Perfected Being are always full of energy because they are young and have the opportunity to charge to higher levels.

The evergreen Perfected Being, who has no hope of a future, likes to read books and play role-playing. He doesn't seem to be practicing hard at all, and he doesn't have any airs of being a master.

Are they doing this out of pure character, or is it a way to anchor their humanity over the long years?

After all, you must know that the longer you live, the harder it is to have heart-to-heart conversations with others. In fact, only a few people can be moved by true feelings.

But if one day, they all leave you, what can people use to give themselves the motivation to go on, even to face the long lonely and lonely years in the future?

"So the immortal must not only have an immortal body, but also an eternal soul..." Lin Chen whispered softly.

Zhang Mengyao looked at him and nodded: "Yes, if you will only stop at Qi Refining and Foundation Building Stage in this life, then this test is unnecessary. But if you want to become Gold Core, you must hone yourself. state of mind."

"After all, eight hundred years is not a short time for us who were originally short-lived. Although it cannot be said to be a vicissitudes of life, it is enough to be said to be a change in the human world."

"Then how should we test it? How can we pass it?" After a moment of shock, Zhang Hao quickly recovered and asked directly.

He doesn't have as many thoughts as Lin Chen. He thinks that as long as he keeps taking pills and practicing, he will be fine. Why think so much about other unnecessary things?

However, at this moment, Zhang Zhiming, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

"Passed? There is no strict answer to this. The key lies in how you face it." He turned around and said to Lin Chen and the others, "As for the test, it has begun now."

Um?

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, and he was about to say something when he suddenly felt a thick layer of white mist appear in front of his eyes. Then his feet were empty and he fell straight down!

Lin Chen reached out and grabbed it. Just when he was about to use his means to fly up, he felt that his consciousness began to gradually become blurred, and he fell into a state that seemed to be half asleep and half awake.

What's happening here?

Just as he was about to resist, he felt a heavy sense of sleepiness, his eyes darkened, and he soon lost consciousness.

"Achen, Achen..."

I don't know how long it took, but in this dazed state, Lin Chen seemed to hear a voice calling him.

The sound seemed to come from afar, very thin and light, like a wisp, and then amplified little by little, becoming clearer and clearer. It was like the wind blowing through the forest tops and the spring water hitting the rocks. It had an indescribable sound.

‘Who, who is calling me? ’

Lin Chen felt a sudden warmth on his face, the darkness in front of his eyes became tinged with a touch of orange, and he felt that one after another... the chirping of cicadas came from his ears?

"Ah Chen, Ah Chen..." The voice came again, causing Lin Chen's consciousness to condense little by little, and finally he woke up and opened his eyes.

What came into view was the dazzling sunlight, which made Lin Chen unable to open his eyes.

He slowly stood up from the table and saw the scorching sun in front of him. The sycamore branches outside the window were lush and leafy. The wind was blowing through the forest at this moment. At that time, he was... young? !

Lin Chen seemed to have thought of something and turned his head in a daze.

The formulas written on the blackboard, the stacks of books, the teacher who was giving lectures seriously on the stage, the classmates who were distracted in the audience, and the one who just poked her shoulder with a pen to remind herself not to fall asleep... the one she .

This is Lin Chen’s eighteenth year, the eighteenth year of struggling for the college entrance examination, and the eighteenth year of most of us.

During this unforgettable time, we will encounter the Spring and Autumn Period, encounter unstoppable rains in April, struggle in the summer of May, and finally say goodbye at the intersection in June when phoenix flowers bloom.

In these past years, we had pure friendship, the first heartbeat, and the longing for a better future, and then in this pure period of common struggle, we moved from youth to adulthood.

Since then, how many of us have never found a period like that, when we worked hard and struggled for a dream, and had sincere and passionate feelings.

Of course, maybe not everyone can sympathize with this period of time.

But if you were given a chance to go back to the best years of your life, even if you knew it was an illusory dream, would you choose to wake up?

Go back to the best past of your life, learn how to face it, and then give yourself the courage to stick to your original intention and keep going over the long years.

This is the mental test for true disciples of Azure Cloud Sect.

Sorry, I have an exam tomorrow and I'm busy reviewing tonight. I can only do one chapter. I'll make up for it during the summer vacation. I'm really sorry.
