Mortal Seeking Immortal

After saying that, Mr. Shu turned and took the lead and walked away. Ye Zhou put away the elixir and followed Mr. Shu's footsteps.

Mr. Shu said in an unprecedented brisk tone: "I remember, the first time I met that old friend, well, she was my fiancée, when I was seven years old."

“That day was the first time I went out to sea with my father to hunt monsters. When the ship docked, all the tribesmen rushed to the shore to greet us.

"We hunted a lot of monsters that time, and my father was very happy. He lifted me high and let me sit on his shoulders, sharing the love and worship of the tribe with him."

When Shu Lao recalled this, his eyes burst out with an excited light belonging to a young man, as if he had returned to his youth.

"In the vast sea of ​​people, I saw her at a glance. She stood in the crowd and smiled at me. Her face was very delicate, her eyes were like crescent moons rising from the sea, her skin was fair, and her black hair was like a waterfall. From then on, The pair of crescent moons live in my heart."

"It was on that day that I learned her identity. She was the orphan of a good friend of her father's. Because her parents died, her father entrusted her to my father before he died."

"My father treated her as his own. From then on, we practiced together, played together, and spent the happiest eight years of my life."

"As we got older, my father saw the affection between her and me and got us engaged. We were very happy and thought that we would live happily for the rest of our lives. We would hold the wedding as soon as we reached adulthood, but it was a pity. , I don’t have the destiny to marry her in this life.”

When Shu Lao said this, his head hung down slightly, like a reed bent by the wind, but soon, he raised his head as if nothing had happened, opened his slightly moist eyes, and forced himself to show his relief. smile.

"I think back then, her wish was to find a secluded place to spend the rest of her life with me when she was old. Now I have fulfilled her original wish."

Gradually, the red light on Mr. Shu's face slowly faded and became extremely pale. His breathing began to become rapid. He looked at Ye Zhou and said: "I am old and can't walk anymore. Little kid, help me to the lake. Sit down, I want to catch some wind."

Ye Zhou's eyes were red, and he carefully helped Mr. Shu to sit down on the big rock by the lake. Mr. Shu coughed twice, and a sickly and abnormal blush appeared on his originally pale face again.

After resting for a while, Shu Lao took out the storage bag from his waist with some difficulty and threw it to Ye Zhou: "Help me take out the carved jade box inside."

Ye Zhou hurriedly put his consciousness into it, and after a short search, he successfully found a warm carved sapphire box. He quickly took it out and handed it to Shu Lao with respectful hands.

Mr. Shu took the jade box and carefully touched it over and over again with his fingers. His eyes showed infinite tenderness, as if he was touching his lover's beautiful face.

"The snow orchid carved on this jade box is her favorite flower in her life. Unfortunately, the delicate snow orchid never grows on the hot and humid seaside, but only grows inland with a suitable climate."

"I promised her that I would earn a lot of spiritual stones in the future and buy a sea of ​​snow orchids for her. This silly girl, she actually cried."

At the end of the sentence, Shu Lao's voice actually had a tremor.

After a while, Mr. Shu seemed to have calmed down a bit, and then he raised his head and said to Ye Zhou: "I have been hiding in the Blood Spirit Sect since I came to this continent. I can't give you much help."

"This storage bag will be yours from now on. It contains a lot of spiritual plants, elixirs, and prescriptions that I have collected over the years. I hope it can be of help to you."

Ye Zhou held the storage bag tightly and choked: "Shu Lao..."

Mr. Shu smiled and waved his hand: "Little boy, you have a long way to go in cultivation. I have only reached the foundation building stage in my whole life. I don't know where you can go in the future. If you can, please watch it for me. Looking at the endless scenery on the road to eternal life, I forget my regret."

Ye Zhou nodded and said: "Shu Lao, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to reach the other side of immortality and stand on the immortal dome!"

Shu Lao nodded with a smile, lowered his head and opened the jade box held tightly in his hand. Inside was two strands of hair that were tightly tied together. Shu Lao took out the two strands of hair with trembling hands and held them tightly in his hands. A line of tears was shed.

At this time, a wisp of breeze blew from the lake. Shu Lao seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked towards the lake in front, and a boyish smile appeared on his face: "Little kid, I saw it. She is here. She is coming to pick her up." Me."

"Alan, why did you come here? I miss you so much..."

Shu Lao stretched out his hand forward as if he wanted to hold his lover's hand. Suddenly, Shu Lao's outstretched hand suddenly fell down, and then his head also dropped.

Ye Zhou felt that the vitality in Shu Lao's body was quickly dissipating, and a ball of light flew out of Shu Lao's body and flew to the lake.

A light blue butterfly flew from nowhere and flew up and down around the light group. After a while, the light group gradually dissipated into nothingness in the air.

The blue butterfly flapped its beautiful wings and flew towards the place where the light group finally disappeared. Then its body fell lightly to the lake, losing its breath.

Ye Zhou took the blue butterfly that fell into the lake and placed it in Shu Laoxu's hand. He respectfully arranged Shu Lao's clothes, knelt in front of Shu Lao and kowtowed heavily to Shu: "Mr. Shu, have a good trip."

A drop of unseen tears fell quietly on the grass, soaking a small grass under Ye Zhou.

Shu Lao left, walking on this bright sunny morning, walking in this picturesque small valley.

Ye Zhou buried Shu Lao by the lake he loved the most, hoping that he could feel the breeze from the lake filled with warm sunshine while he slept quietly underground.

Shu Lao's death made Ye Zhou more determined to practice. Only by practicing can one transcend life and death, take life into one's own hands, and not be shackled by others.

Ye Zhou buried Shu Lao by the lake, where he died.

After sending Shu Lao away, Ye Zhou did not leave the small valley immediately, but began to refine the foundation-building pills needed for the human way.

According to the description of the jade slip, whether it is the foundation-building of the earth or the foundation-building of the heaven, the foundation-building pills of the human way are needed as the pre-pills to be swallowed, and the foundation-building pills of the earth or the heaven are swallowed when the foundation-building is about to succeed.

Refining the foundation-building pills of the human way is much more complicated than refining other pills. It took Ye Zhou half a month to refine the spiritual plants for refining the foundation-building pills.

After refining all the spiritual plants, Ye Zhou quickly took the Qi Gathering Pill to quickly restore the spiritual power consumed in his body. After the spiritual power was fully restored, he began to refine the Foundation Building Pill.

At first, Ye Zhou did not dare to refine a large amount of pills, but only invested a small amount of medicinal materials to try his hand. After several failed attempts, Ye Zhou summed up the experience of many failures and combined with Shu Lao's many years of experience in alchemy, and finally successfully refined the precious Foundation Building Pill.

With the successful experience, Ye Zhou began to refine a large amount of Foundation Building Pills.
