Longevity starts with learning

"Changqing wants to refine a treasure..."

"But... Changqing doesn't have a recipe, and this treasure has a strange effect..."

Xu Changqing's voice was intermittent, and he was obviously hesitant.

"That's all?"

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows: "If that's all... It's okay, I can conceive a recipe according to your requirements."

"But if the requirements are too high, the corresponding spiritual materials may be difficult to find..."

Seeing Chu Mu's confident response, Xu Changqing seemed to be relieved.

At this time, Chu Mu suddenly changed the subject: "Junior brother, when you went to the southwest before, did you find the spiritual objects needed by the pulse master to heal his injuries?"

Hearing this, Xu Changqing's expression changed slightly, but in a flash, he returned to normal: "The spiritual objects have been brought back, but there are still some problems to deal with my father's injuries..."

Chu Mu nodded, raised his hand to lead, and the stone door in front of him opened. Stepping into the stone house, he seemed to think of something, suddenly stopped, looked at Xu Changqing and asked: "Junior brother, you should have reached the limit of breaking the pill, why don't you retreat and start to form an infant?"

Xu Changqing showed bitterness and shook his head: "There is a problem with cultivation, and it will take time to solve it."

Chu Mu looked at Xu Changqing in surprise, and finally suppressed the thought of asking.

After sitting down in the room, a glass of spiritual wine was pushed in front of Xu Changqing, and he asked: "What kind of treasure do you want to refine? What are the requirements?"

Xu Changqing pondered for a while, and then said uncertainly: "Brother, if there is an external demon that erodes the soul, how to avoid it, or even counter it?"

Hearing this, Chu Mu frowned slightly, and looked at Xu Changqing again, and couldn't help but look at him more. He wanted to ask, but in the end, he suppressed the idea of ​​asking again.

He pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "If so, it depends on the nature of the external demon that erodes the soul."

"Depending on the nature, different countermeasures will be taken..."

Halfway through his words, Chu Mu stopped talking, but picked up the wine glass and drank by himself.

Seeing Chu Mu's expression, Xu Changqing was silent for a while before he slowly said, "Brother, you can regard this external demon as a spiritual energy."

"But this spiritual energy is extremely pure, and even the fourth-level sword intent is difficult to suppress. You can only barely keep your mind clear..."

While speaking, Xu Changqing's fingertips moved slightly, outlining an effect on the table, vividly conjuring the situation of confrontation.

Looking at this scene, Chu Mu frowned, and he hesitated a little: "What do you mean by the fourth-level sword intent that Junior Brother is referring to?"

Xu Changqing was silent again for a long time, and then he looked up at Chu Mu, with a few bloodshot eyes, and said hoarsely: "Changqing, can you trust Senior Brother?"

Hearing this, Chu Mu's expression changed slightly, and he was silent for a while, and then he slowly said: "Junior Brother, just speak frankly, today's conversation will definitely not be known to a third person."

As soon as the voice fell, the sword intent in the sea of ​​consciousness flowed, and in an instant it swept through the body. At the same time, a touch of spiritual light blessing also descended.

Xu Changqing took a deep look at Chu Mu, and then said in a deep voice: "Father...is ill!"

Chu Mu suddenly looked up at Xu Changqing, his eyes sharp, as if to confirm the truth of his words.

Xu Changqing seemed not to notice the scrutiny, and said to himself: "After the battle that year, the wound of father spread to his soul. Father thought it was just an ordinary wound of the soul, but it was not until Changqing fetched the spiritual object and father's wound healed recently that he realized that although the wound of the soul was healed on the surface, it had actually corroded the mind and affected the mind..."

"Under no choice, father could only seal his mind and imprison himself in the cave."

"Before father sealed himself, he sent two voice transmissions, one to Changqing and one to the master uncle."

"But the master uncle has been in seclusion for many years since the last war. Changqing went to pay a visit just now, but he didn't come out of seclusion, so he had to find you, senior brother..."

Chu Mu was silent, and the arm holding the wine glass trembled slightly without leaving a trace.

At this moment, his breathing became a little faster.

Since... that battle that year!

That year...

That is, the battle that year caused by the ruins of the Heavenly Palace, because of that... Tianyan Holy Beast?

Back then, it was just speculation.

But now, the Human Alliance has been established for many years, and the Black Snake Clan, the so-called Demon Alliance, is related to the Tianyan Holy Beast, which is already a solid evidence!

It is precisely because of this solid evidence that the rare joint force has been formed in countless years!

A sword-wielding Yuanying that is strong enough to fight against a Yuanying master has been quietly eroded. After so many years, some clues have been detected...

Does that mean that ordinary Yuanying masters can detect it if they are eroded?

Or, can they resist?

The two Yuanying masters of the Tianji lineage...

The dozens of Yuanying masters of the Human Alliance...

The countless masters gathered in the outer sea...

His terrifying guess...

Even with the blessing of Linghui, Chu Mu could hardly suppress the countless thoughts that surged in this moment.

Seeing Chu Mu's uncertain expression, Xu Changqing asked anxiously: "Brother?"

At this time, Chu Mu woke up from his dream. He took a deep breath, suppressed the trembling in his heart, looked up at Xu Changqing, and asked in a deep voice: "The nine branches of the sect each have a Yuanying Master in charge, and there are many Yuanying Masters who are on good terms with this branch and have a close relationship with us. Why did you only find me, Chu?"

After the words fell, Chu Mu stared at Xu Changqing, wanting to confirm the truth of every sentence and even every word he said next.

"In terms of immortal skills, who in the sect can compare with you, brother? Moreover, you are also a true cultivator of the realm of mind, so you should be able to understand your father's predicament better."

At this point, Xu Changqing paused for a while, looked up at Chu Mu, and the two looked at each other. He slowly said: "When I returned from the southwest, because Lie Yan joined our lineage, I went to the Soul Hall of our lineage and happened to encounter some strange phenomena..."

Chu Mu's pupils shrank slightly, and after a moment of doubt, he quickly returned to calmness.

At this time, Xu Changqing said again: "Brother, don't worry. This is from Changqing's mouth, and no one else will know it."

Chu Mu asked in a deep voice: "Will the vein master not do it? Will the sect master not do it?"

Xu Changqing said solemnly: "Changqing can swear a Taoist heart oath!"

Seeing this, Chu Mu's expression eased a little. He was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Chu needs to see the vein master's situation before making a judgment."

Xu Changqing nodded: "There is no time to lose, let's set off now."

"Okay."

Chu Mu stood up, and just as he took a step, he suddenly looked up at the roof of the stone house.

The next moment, a sharp edge broke through the stone house formation and landed accurately on the roof of the stone house. It was just a simple smelting of low-level stone, and it could not block it at all.

With only a crisp sword sound, the roof disappeared, the broken stones fell, and a magnificent sound transmission fell.

"All of you, follow me back to the sect!"

At this moment, in the sky, a white robe fluttered in the wind, and the Changsheng Sect Master stood with a sword on his back, his sharp eyes like the sword's edge locked on the two people who were talking.

Hearing this, Xu Changqing showed joy: "Brother, the Sect Master has come out of retreat!"

Then, Xu Changqing jumped up, and his body turned into a sword light and soared into the sky. At this moment, this piece of heaven and earth was under the control of the Changsheng Sect Master, and the forbidden air formation that was enough to imprison the Yuanying power did not stop it at all.

The sword light passed by, and Xu Changqing was already in front of the Changsheng Sect Master.

Chu Mu followed closely behind, flashing in an instant, and bowed: "Disciple greets the Sect Master."

"Okay, let's skip the formalities."

"What's the situation, Junior Brother Xu?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now, you all follow me back to the mountain gate first!"

After a few words fell, Chu Mu and the others didn't even have a chance to react. They only felt a surge of energy, and then they followed the Changsheng Sect Master uncontrollably, with sword light sweeping and clouds shattering.

It was like teleportation. In a blink of an eye, they had arrived at the teleportation hall in the center of the city. The world spun around, and they didn't know how far they had crossed. Before they could come to their senses, sword light swept around again, and in just a moment, the world spun around again.

This cycle repeated itself, and in just a few days, they actually crossed a long distance that would take months for ordinary Jindan cultivators to transfer even if they took the teleportation array.

When the last feeling of spinning around emerged, the towering fairy mountain was already under their feet.

Another flash of sword light swept across the immortal mountain, and fell straight down. In just a moment, when they stepped on the ground again, a lush bamboo forest appeared in front of everyone.

The bamboo forest was peculiar. In ordinary bamboo forests, most bamboo poles were straight like round cylinders, but in this bamboo forest, each straight and thin column was flat like a bamboo leaf, with both sides like a blade.

Each green bamboo was like a sharp sword rising into the sky, and the forked bamboo branches and the upside-down bamboo leaves were completely in the form of swords.

Just by looking at it with the naked eye, one could fully feel the terrifying sword sharpness sweeping through the bamboo forest. If the spiritual consciousness touched it slightly, it would be like stirring up a hornet's nest. In an instant, the bamboo forest was rippling, and each bamboo leaf moved with it. The sword intent soared into the sky, and it came towards everyone unstoppably.

Seeing this, the leader of the Changsheng Sect frowned, rolled up his sleeves, and the overwhelming terror disappeared.

Chu Mu's pupils shrank slightly, and his already restrained aura was even more restrained at this moment. A great cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage... So terrifying!

"Do you have the token for this formation?"

At this time, the Changsheng Sect Master turned his head and looked at Xu Changqing beside him.

"Yes."

Xu Changqing nodded, but then hesitated and said, "But the sword formation has been completely opened. I don't know if it will be effective now."

"Don't worry, give me the token."

Xu Changqing hurriedly took out the token, and the next moment, the token appeared in the hands of the Changsheng Sect Master. Several sword lights were crisscrossed, like a meteor falling, sinking into the token. The next moment, the Changsheng Sect Master took the token and took a step forward, and then sank into the bamboo forest sword formation.

The bamboo forest rippled again, and the terrifying sword path seemed to condense again, but in just a few breaths, the condensed sword path disappeared without a trace.

The bamboo forest was silent, and a stone road winding through the bamboo forest also appeared...
