After the Ascension Pagoda, the Yu family was completely defeated.
When the tower was destroyed that day, the yin qi that kept overflowing inside shocked everyone. No one could have imagined that the immortal pagoda, which is said to lead directly to the immortal world, hides such a terrifying Yin Qi inside. As a result, the entire Huayuan City was affected. The yin qi persisted for several months, and the spiritual energy was extinguished. The monks moved out one after another and dared not approach at will. Today's Huayuan City is no longer the same as the fairy city of the past, and it has become a dead city. .
In addition, after the three major families escaped from the tower, they announced their break with the Yu family and revealed the truth in the tower. That is not a tower of immortality at all, but a magic tower that specializes in sucking human flesh, cultivation, and even primordial spirits. If it wasn't for Invincible to send Venerable Yi Qing, desperately rescued him and broke out of the tower, forcibly awakening everyone in the tower. All the cultivators of the Shangqing Realm are afraid that they will collapse in this tower.
As soon as the news came out, the entire Shangqing Realm was shocked. The degree of yin damage of this tower is more prosperous than that of magic cultivators. You must know that for monks, the body can be regenerated, and the cultivation base can be practiced again, but once the primordial spirit disappears, it will disappear forever, and there is no chance of reincarnation.
For a time, all the sects aimed at the Yu family, how much they were sought after before, and how much they spurned them now. The Yu family, which was originally located in one of the four great aristocratic families, is on the verge of falling apart. The disciples of the disciples either left or changed their names. In less than half a month, their strength was not as good as that of the third-rate sects.
It was the name of the Invincible faction that once again became famous in the Upper Green Realm, and Yi Qing, who saved the entire Upper Qing Realm, became the recognized number one sword cultivator.
"From tomorrow, I may need to retreat for a while."
"Ah?" Shen Ying, who finally had a full meal, turned to look at the determined cook next to her, "Are you injured?"
"Master, don't worry, my injury is indeed healed." Yi Qing frowned and put down the newly fried dish, "It's just that after the battle in the tower, I feel that my previously consolidated cultivation has been loosened. Retreat for details, and impact your cultivation."
"Fuck, you won't have an epiphany again!" Gu Yue stood up with wide eyes, this is going to heaven!
"It's just that I have a new understanding of Sword Intent." Yi Qing shook his head and said, "It's not an epiphany."
Gu Yue glanced at him, as if she wanted to say something, but didn't say anything. After a while, she sat back and continued to cook.
"Oh, then how long will you be locked up?" Shen Ying asked.
"The fastest is a month or two, and the slow is a year and a half." Yi Qing replied.
"It's been so long..."
"But don't worry, Master, I will leave as soon as possible."
"Um."
"And my sword intent has already taken shape. The retreat is only to stabilize the cultivation base, and nothing will happen."
"Oh, I just had a little problem."
"Master, please speak."
"When you're in retreat... can you come out and cook?"
"… "
Half time.
"It's the disciple who didn't think carefully. Should I prepare more food and store it with magic?"
"Good cook, let's start now!"
"Okay Master, no problem Master."
Lonely Moon: "..." MDZZ.
Looking at the two figures in front of him who started to be stupid again, he was upset for no reason, and suddenly lost his appetite, "I'm full!"
After speaking, he put down his chopsticks, turned around and left the apse without saying a word.
"Venerable Niu... looks different from the past." Yi Qing frowned.
"Well." Shen Ying also looked at the direction he left, "He didn't fry today!"
"… "
After Dad Niu left, he didn't see anyone all day, and he didn't even come back for dinner. Without personal complaints, it was a bit too quiet. Shen Ying glanced at the pastries on the table, sighed, and took a plate and walked out.
After four or five laps on the top of the mountain, under the guidance of the girls, she found Dad Niu who was sitting on the hillside, staring at the radishes all over the place in a daze.
"Do you want to eat?" She handed over the pastry directly.
Gu Yue glanced back at her, rolled her eyes, and turned her head again.
"You're in a bad mood, and you have to eat." She put down the pastry and patted him on the shoulder. "Tell me, Daddy Niu, which one do you want to go bankrupt?"
Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, "Why should I make people bankrupt?"
"Isn't Tianliang Wangpo a standard for you to be the president?" She laughed.
"Go away!" He glared at her. "What are you thinking about all day long? Don't bother me."
"Oh." She picked up the cake and planned to withdraw.
"Come back!" The corners of his mouth twitched, "Why didn't I see you being so obedient before, and you really took it away." Are you so comforting
"Don't you want it?"
"Shut up! The pastry is left." He snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored him completely.
Shen Ying sighed and had no choice but to walk back and sat down directly beside him, followed him to look at the radishes all over the floor, and began to destroy the cakes on the plate piece by piece.
The two of them didn't speak, and the surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the sound of someone chomping on pastries in the whole vegetable field.
Ten minutes have passed...
Twenty minutes have passed...
thirty minutes…
One hour…
Until the duck-egg-yellow sun in the sky went down and replaced it with a crescent moon.
The blue veins on Guyue's forehead snapped, "You will die if you say something?" What the hell is she doing here
"Uh..." Didn't you tell me to shut up
"Aren't you here to comfort me? Do you have the comfort of just eating and not talking? Anyway, ask me why I'm unhappy?"
"Oh, then why are you upset?" Satisfying you.
Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, her brows twitched again, she opened her mouth and closed it again, and after hesitating for a long time, she turned around and continued to look in front of her and said, "Your apprentice... If you come out of this retreat this time, your cultivation will at least reach the middle stage of Spirit Transformation."
"Maybe?" She didn't understand this.
Gu Yue sighed deeply, "How long have we known each other?"
Shen Ying thought for a while, "Four... five years?"
"Yeah, four or five years..." His eyes became more and more floating, "In just four or five years, he went from a Jindan cultivator to a goddess directly. Two great epiphanies in a row. If you say it, in the entire Sanqing world, no one will believe it."
"..." Is it that powerful
"Anyone who transforms into a god can achieve this achievement after four or five hundred years of ascetic cultivation. I have spent three hundred years, and I am considered a highly savvy person." He frowned deeper, "but in front of him, I'm afraid I'm going to be laughed at."
Shen Ying's hand holding the cake paused.
"Shen Ying, you said... We are fellow villagers after all. You can make him realize again and again with just a few words, why don't you help me?" He glanced at him with some anger.
"Don't you know what I said?"
"I just don't understand it when I know it?" He looked constipated. "Honestly speaking, those are just fooling people."
"Uh… "
"But he can even improve his cultivation by cheating." His expression became more and more decadent, "I can't compare to being cheated once after practicing hard for hundreds of years."
"Either Yiqing or others. My cultivation is improving, but I'm the only one... I can't make any progress by myself. If it's you, you can figure it out!"
"Is my understanding really that bad? I can't understand it at all."
"Then what am I doing in this world? What's the point!"
"I went back to the present day when I fell into a demon that day. It's been more than 300 years. I thought I had forgotten everything over there. I didn't expect that I remember it so clearly. Maybe I don't belong at all... ummm."
Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly stuffed with a mouthful of cakes. Just as he was about to stare at the person next to him, he was knocked on the forehead.
"idiot."
"you… "
"Do you know what your current appearance is called?" Shen Ying said solemnly.
"What?" he asked subconsciously.
She leaned forward suddenly, looked into his eyes, and said word by word, "Hypocritical!"
"… "
