"What are you doing here? Get out, get out! Don't get in the way of me here!" Although Chu Lian was seriously injured, her temper remained undiminished. As soon as he got close to his cave, he could hear him yelling so loudly inside.
Not long after, those sect elders who originally wanted to show their favor came out from the inside one after another, disheartened. Only one Jindan elder, Fairy Ling, stayed behind to say a few more words because of the fate of the brothers and sisters at the same time as Chu Lian, "Senior Brother Chu, you are injured now, so it's better not to be too arrogant."
These words were gentle words, but Chu Lian was not someone who knew how to pity Xiangxiyu at all, so he hurled her out with her unceremoniously.
When everyone was gone, Chu Lian looked at the empty room again, but her brows were still wrinkled.
He shouted angrily at a corner, "What are you doing hiding there?"
Wen Xuan turned out from behind the door and looked at him with a complicated expression. Wen Xuan was naturally shocked and horrified when he heard that Chu Lian was seriously injured, and ran over without thinking. As a result, before entering the room, I heard Chu Lian's anger, where does it look like he was seriously injured? After a long while, he called out, "Master."
"I'm no longer your master." Chu Lian snorted coldly, thinking of this again for some reason, "There are no outsiders now, so there's no need to act like this."
Wen Xuan sighed and had no choice but to say, "Mr. Chu."
Chu Lian frowned and seemed not to be used to it, but she finally said nothing and seemed satisfied.
And Wenxuan took a few steps forward and looked at Chu Lian in front of him. At first glance, Chu Lian seemed to be full of energy as before, but when he looked closely, his face was pale, and there was a faint trace of blackness between his eyebrows.
When he wanted to take a step closer, Chu Lian waved two fingers together, and a spirit whip swiped directly across Wen Xuan's cheek.
"What are you looking at?" Chu Lian was very unhappy.
"Chu Renren," Wen Xuan reluctantly stopped, "What's going on?"
Chu Lian frowned a little deeper and didn't answer.
Wen Xuan asked again, "The devil is so powerful?"
"But a rat who hides his head and shows his tail." Chu Lian sneered and said this with disdain. But when he said this, his fist was clenched tightly, obviously that was not the real evaluation in his heart.
After a while, Chu Lian waved his hand again, "This time, we underestimated the enemy. I knew that its original cultivation might be higher than ours, but I just thought that it must be no longer my opponent after being trapped for so many years. I didn't expect him to hide so well and recover so quickly."
"Its original cultivation base," Wen Xuan was slightly surprised, "is it higher than Nascent Soul?"
"Hmph, look at your vision." Chu Lian said, "You really should leave Beining and go to Zhongsheng to have a look. Just a mere Yuan Ying, a sect can count several for you. Yuan Ying goes up, and also There is the Mahayana. The Mahayana and upwards are areas that no one has ever touched.”
The place where Wen Xuan was surprised was not here, "You...you and those Nascent Soul seniors from other sects have long known that it is so powerful?"
After being pointed out by the younger generation, Chu Lian suddenly felt that his face was dull.
In fact, the bait that the devil cast was originally intended to lure the monks of the Condensing Origin period. Just because it has been buried deep in the ground for a long time, its body has long since melted away, and someone must be found to take it away, and only those cultivators who are only one step away from the golden core in the late stage of Ningyuan can not only accommodate all its power, but also treat its power. Occupation has no resistance. And the reason why the teleportation array can only be seen by monks with excellent water spirit roots is because only such a physical body can be seen.
As a result, Wen Xuan and Qin Shiyu both informed the sect of the matter, which led to the fact that the real Yuan Ying went there. At a glance at the real Yuan Ying, its arrangements are naturally invisible. There is a powerful monster hidden under those seemingly beautiful treasures that may have been cultivated to the Mahayana back then, there is no doubt. Although the devil has been trapped for many years, now it must be not as good as before, but I don't know how much strength is left.
However, the bait cast by the devil is really tempting. Magical treasures, exercises, and pill recipes left over from the ancient times were all there, and even the rulers of the two major sects were jealous. So they couldn't abandon those bait, and they didn't dare to break the last prohibition to release the devil.
Chu Lian stubbornly said, "We've been careful enough, who would have known such a thing would happen?"
The accident was that an elder of the Ning Yuan period couldn't stand the temptation and sneaked in, only to be robbed of his body by the devil.
Wen Xuan couldn't help sighing when he heard this.
The so-called death of a bird for food is an accident, but it is actually a necessity.
"It's all because of that idiot." Chu Lian bit his teeth and was about to curse the culprit, but suddenly his throat was sweet, and he quickly covered his mouth with the back of his hand, coughing violently. When he finally stopped the coughing, he moved the back of his hand away, only to see blood sprayed all over it.
Wen Xuan looked at the blood foam, and his heart sank suddenly.
"There's another one who doesn't have long eyes." Chu Lian didn't care, she just wiped the back of her hand and ordered, "Go and drive people away."
Wen Xuan nodded and had to do as he was told.
Less than a moment later, the person who came was still in Daiyun Peak, but Wenxuan rushed back and said in a hurry, "Master, it is Elder Qi who is here."
"Who cares who he is? Hurry up..." Chu Lian paused for a while before asking, "Which Elder Qi?"
"Elder Qi of Dan Dingyuan, Qi Jibai." Wen Xuan replied.
If it were an ordinary elder, Chu Lian would naturally not take it seriously. But Qi Jibai was the best alchemist in the Shuiyun Sect.
Chu Lian paused for a moment, and finally said those two words, "Drive away."
"Real man!" Wen Xuan was anxious, "At least let him take a look!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Chu Lian said angrily, "If I went there myself, I wouldn't be as polite as you!"
Wen Xuan's words were stagnant, and there was nothing he could do. Waiting for him to persuade more, Chu Lian has already waved his sleeves and blasted him directly out of the house.
Then Wenxuan found Qi Jibai and told Chu Lian's attitude bitterly, but Qi Jibai's expression did not show any surprise.
"I have also heard about Chu Renren's temper." Qi Jibai said with a light smile, "He is an arrogant and stubborn person, so he will naturally behave arrogantly and stubbornly. Since this is the case, I will go to the head to see it first."
The head Ji Ziang was also seriously injured now, so Qi Jibai naturally had to see it.
Wenxuan sent Qi Jibai all the way. On the way, he recounted what he had just seen, and asked carefully, "Really... how is my master's situation now?"
"According to your description, it doesn't seem good." Qi Jibai said.
Wen Xuan's expression changed.
"But since I'm stubborn, others can't do anything about it." Qi Jibai smiled again, "And to be honest, I'm not a genius doctor. Maybe Chu Zhenren just can't believe me, but does he actually have his own plans?"
Hearing this, Wen Xuan finally felt a little comfort. Then he asked about the situation of simple practice, and learned that since the last retreat of simple, it has been several months.
Wenxuan's retreat had to be temporarily interrupted.
Then about two months passed. In the past two months, the outside is still unstoppable, the devil still broke through several small sects, and even the medium-sized sects began to suffer. It seems that only the seven major sects with the mountain protection formation are safe. Many small and medium-sized sects have proposed that they want to be merged into these seven families. After sharpening their heads, they want to squeeze into the mountain protection formation.
Because of the failure of the last trapping plan, many people criticized Chu Lian. But because of Chu Lian's injury, no one brought these criticisms to the table.
During this period of time, Wenxuan ran to Chu Lian's cave house every three or five minutes, but Chu Lian didn't appreciate it, and in the end he always wanted to blast him out. As for the so-called "own method", Wen Xuan couldn't see the slightest clue, but felt that Chu Lian's expression was getting worse day by day.
Until this day two months later, when Wenxuan walked into Chu Lian's cave again, he saw Chu Lian sitting by the bed, one hand hanging by his side, clenched into a fist, as if thinking about something, surprisingly quiet. Generally speaking, as long as Wenxuan comes, it won't take long for Chu Lian to show helplessness. This time, Chu Lian sat quietly for a long time.
After a long time, Chu Lian sighed, "The elder Qi you said the other day... go and call him again."
While speaking, Chu Lian opened the fist that had been clenched, revealing a crumpled talisman inside. Wen Xuan could see at a glance that it was an unused communication talisman. Such talismans usually have their destination already marked. Once they are used, they will spontaneously fly to the person who is marked as the destination.
This unused messenger is now splattered with blood.
Wenxuan was startled, just because Chu Lian finally wanted to see Qi Jibai's joy completely disappeared, he turned around in a hurry, and flew towards the Dan Dingyuan.
Before leaving, Wen Xuan heard a self-deprecating sneer from Chu Lian.
Chu Lian laughed to herself, "I don't want to accompany him until now."
Qi Jibai came here quickly and helped Chu Lian take a good look. When he left, Qi Jibai frowned and said that he would do his best.
After that day, Wenxuan would always send Qi Jibai a pot of elixir for Chu Lian to take. He could clearly feel that as time passed, the number of medicinal pills in the furnace increased and the smell became heavier, but Chu Lian's condition did not improve much.
Every few days, Qi Jibai would come in person to see Chu Lian's injury with his own eyes.
Once Wenxuan happened to bump into it. Qi Jibai untied Chu Lian's clothes and checked the wound on his chest. The horror of the wound was far beyond Wen Xuan's imagination. The flesh and blood were turned outwards, as if being poured over by hot boiling water, and there were strands of black gas coiling around it.
Wenxuan had seen Murong Feng being attacked by the poison of extreme fire for many years. Chu Lian's wound was more terrifying than that. No wonder Qi Jibai could only say that he would try his best.
"Actually, the most troublesome thing is not the wound, but the demonic energy that invaded the body of the real person of Chu." Qi Jibai told him, "Those demonic energy can't be solved by my cultivation, and I don't know who can solve it in Beining. Open. But as long as there are those devilish qi, Chu Zhenren's injury will not be healed."
The situation was very clear, and Wen Xuan understood it as soon as he heard it. However, Wen Xuan naturally had nothing to do when the whole sect could do nothing. He just prayed that Chu Lian could resolve the demonic energy by himself.
In contrast, although Ji Ziang was also seriously injured, it was much easier to treat than Chu Lian.
This situation continued for several months.
Now almost all the small and medium sects have found the big sect to take refuge in, the Shuiyun Sect's power has grown more than several times, and Ji Ziang has also shown signs of recovery. The whole sect was filled with joy because of this, and almost no one noticed the gloomy clouds in the corner of Daiyun Peak.
The real Yuan Ying was supposed to be the protector of the entire sect, and it was the only one who could get into Chu Lian's current state. Occasionally, Wen Xuan thought of his current treatment as a senior brother, and felt pity for each other.
He still went to Chu Lian's cave to look after him every day, and saw with his own eyes that white hair grew a little on top of Chu Lian's head.
Sometimes, except for the white hair on the top of his head, Chu Lian still looks the same as before. But more often, Chu Lian would fall asleep in bed.
When in a drowsiness, Chu Lian would babble in his sleep, and read Ye Shengge's name in his mouth. When he was awake, Chu Lian would pull out many old things and put them in front of him, watching intently, his face full of nostalgia.
Occasionally, when he looked at Wen Xuan, there was no longer that disgust on his face, but the same nostalgic look on his face.
"You should have found something like that, right?" Chu Lian asked him, "in your body."
Wenxuan suddenly remembered the piece of ice he saw when Ning Yuan, and nodded.
"Then you should have seen him already." Chu Lian sighed again.
This should be referring to the spiritual sense that remained in Wenxuan's body. After seeing Ye Shengge's appearance in the illusion, Wen Xuan can already confirm that the figure reflected by that spiritual sense is Ye Shengge himself.
"It's good." Chu Lian said, with traces of grievance in her tone, "I want to see him too."
Wenxuan didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Are you still going to continue?" Chu Lian asked him.
"Can you stop?" Wen Xuan asked back.
"Yeah, it's too late to stop now. I stopped you before, and it was you who chose to do so." Chu Lian smiled mockingly.
But because of this long-term pain, Chu Lian's temperament was much less sharp, and he quickly took back the ridicule and sighed, "From now on, you can only continue to walk, more urgent. Just keep going faster. Then you just pray, pray that when that day comes, you will have more of the human part. Pray that the human part will be strong enough by then."
Come on, Chu Lian waved his hand.
This is chasing guests. Today, Chu Lian actually talked so much with Wen Xuan calmly, which was unprecedented.
When Wen Xuan left, thinking of what Chu Lian had just said made his heart a little heavy.
Suddenly, he saw a messenger flying across the sky.
It was a somewhat familiar communication talisman, and it looked very old, I don't know if it was an old item that was decades old. It has traces of being crumpled on its body, and a lot of blood has been splattered on it.
Wen Xuan stood there for a moment, then suddenly turned around and ran towards Chu Lian's cave.
The building in the cave was empty, leaving only the open windows swaying in the wind.
After this day, no one saw Chu Lian in Shuiyunzong again.
Some people say that it is Chu Lian's conceit that makes him reluctant to die in front of others, and some people say that he just wants to find his own way of life outside. Wen Xuan felt that it was probably the latter, because he was willing to believe it, and because Chu Lian once said that he still wanted to live until now.
This incident seems to be an episode of Shuiyunzong. After Chu Lian left, everything was as usual.
Wenxuan also restarted his retreat.
He closed his eyes, his mind sank into his body, and soon found the ice surface again. His cultivation base is stronger than before, and he has reached the middle stage of Condensation Yuan. And every time he saw the ice surface again, he could find a slight crack on it.
Because the aura is surging in his meridians, no matter how careful he is, it will always hit this ice surface. As the cultivation base becomes stronger and stronger, this impact will get bigger and bigger. But he couldn't stop there. The moment he chose to continue walking, everything was doomed. The moment he returned to Ningyuan, he lost the room for regret. Because even if it does not continue to grow, the impact of the spiritual energy will not stop. That day will always come, and stopping will only make him lose the room to struggle at that time.
Wenxuan looked at the floating figure beside the ice and called softly, "Zhenzhen Ye."
Ye Shengge's spiritual sense never spoke, but just looked at Wen Xuan and smiled. But Wenxuan knew that he had been silently protecting this place. Therefore, whenever Wenxuan comes again, the cracks seen last time will always be healed.
Wen Xuan bowed respectfully to this spiritual sense, and then moved his mind to another place to start today's practice.
Up to now, he can only go faster, faster.
At the same time, in a cave in the back mountain of Dandingyuan, he opened his eyes easily. In front of him, there are many broken spiritual stones, and the broken pieces almost piled up a hill.
For two years, he retreated this time, which lasted for two full years.
There was a smile on the corner of the simple mouth. The exercise he finally deduced was extremely busy and unreasonable, but the progress was extremely fast. Everyone else needs to draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth, but he can draw it directly from the spiritual stone, how can he be unhappy? Even if doing so will bring all kinds of disadvantages, it is easy to accept it with a smile.
Today, he is only one step away from Ning Yuan.
This step is often the hardest one, and many people spend their entire lives unable to get past it. Simple but must be crossed, and must be crossed as soon as possible.
In order to deal with the next event, the condensate element is the lowest threshold.
