Chapter 88 Rumors(1/2)
After Xu Zhen returned to Zhurong Peak, she reported to Xu Xiao in detail everything that happened when she met Zhuge Mingzhu. As long as she remembered it, she reported it truthfully without any concealment.
She didn't dare to keep the bottle of elixir given to her by Zhuge Mingzhu, so she gave it to Xu Xiao.
"She said this is the elixir that her grandfather refined after entering the realm of returning to the void, and she also said she hopes you will marry her apprentice?"
Xu Xiao played with the jade bottle and asked Xu Zhen with a frown.
Xu Zhen nodded and said with a blush:
"Don't worry, ancestor, I didn't agree."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you agree." Xu Xiao said.
Xu Zhen was stunned, looked up at her ancestor, and didn't understand why she said that.
"Her apprentice also has some future." Xu Xiao said.
"But, he is just a casual cultivator." Xu Zhen said.
She said the word "casual cultivator" very clearly.
Xu Xiao smiled: "This has nothing to do with whether he is a casual cultivator. Casual cultivators can still have a good future."
"What future can casual cultivators have?" Xu Zhen said, "At most, it can only stop at Nascent Soul Dzogchen. That's not a very good future, right?"
Xu Xiao glanced at her: "Who told you that? That disciple of Zhuge Mingzhu, if nothing happens, must be at least in the realm of god transformation, right?"
"But, doesn't it mean that the sect does not allow casual cultivators to enter the realm of divine transformation?" Xu Zhen asked.
She was a little anxious.
According to the ancestor's wishes, it seems possible for her to marry Ning Shaoyang, a casual cultivator.
It's not that she has a problem with Ning Shaoyang, she just looks down on rogue cultivators and doesn't want to spend her whole life with a rogue cultivator.
"Have you seen any rules in the sect that say this?" Xu Xiao asked.
Xu Zhen choked suddenly.
Of course the sect doesn't have such rules.
It's like casual cultivators can't have a spirit gathering array, and there are no explicit regulations from the sect.
Those things can only be done in private and cannot be spoken out, as it would look too ugly if spoken out.
"That rule is valid for the vast majority of casual cultivators. However, if Zhuge Mingzhu's apprentice breaks through to the realm of becoming a god, who would run over and kill him? Who would dare to kill him? What kind of excuse will they use?
Go kill him?"
Xu Xiao asked.
Xu Zhen couldn't help but nodded: "I can't seem to find any reasonable excuse."
"Even if a reasonable excuse is found, as long as Zhuge Mingzhu is still alive, no one will dare to go." Xu Xiao said, "Gu Zhenshan has only been dead for a hundred years."
Xu Zhen's mind couldn't help but have some activities.
I finally have some understanding as to why Ning Shaoyang is not so eager to join the sect.
I think Zhuge Mingzhu also gave him some guarantees when he was expelled from the sect.
Xu Xiao sighed, and then said: "What's more, at this time, at that time, those rules for casual cultivators will be greatly changed in a few hundred years."
"Why?" Xu Zhen was stunned.
"Now is not the time for you to know this. When you should know it, you will know it naturally." Xu Xiao said.
Xu Zhen asked: "Is it some kind of dividing line..."
"Where did you hear these things?" Xu Xiao's face darkened.
"I heard from a senior sister," Xu Zhen said, "She said that a few decades ago, some Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance spread such rumors, saying that there is another continent in the west of our continent, and there are many powerful monsters there.
, just because there is a dividing line between the two worlds, their strength will be greatly reduced when they come over, but the dividing line will soon disappear, and then they will face a war between humans and monsters..."
She felt that if this was true, the catastrophe would come in an instant, and the sect would definitely lift many restrictions on casual cultivators.
At that time, of course, if the human race's power can be increased, then increase it as much as possible, and if they can kill two more monster beasts, then kill two more monster beasts.
Xu Xiao interrupted before she could finish: "Since you know it's a rumor, don't take it seriously."
Xu Zhen stuck out her tongue and did not dare to say any more.
Xu Xiao opened the jade bottle, and the fragrance was refreshing.
With a quick sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he knew that it was indeed a good thing. It was impossible to refine such an elixir until he reached the realm of returning to the void.
This elixir cannot directly improve a person's cultivation level, but it can nourish the mind and solidify the energy, which can make the monk's foundation more solid, which is better than those elixirs that can directly improve a person's cultivation level.
That value is no less than the seven million spiritual stones he gave away.
There are exactly seven pills in the jade bottle.
Something moved in my heart.
Is this Zhuge Mingzhu’s response?
However, he still didn't quite understand what the response was.
It would be hard for him to ask Zhuge Mingzhu himself about this kind of thing.
The two people not only belong to two different camps, but also have very important positions in their respective camps.
If the two of them met in private, you can imagine how much shock it would cause in the sect.
He didn't dare to take such a risk.
His current idea is indeed to enter the realm of returning to the virtual world. As long as he can successfully enter this realm, there is nothing wrong with changing the family.
The matter of entering the realm of returning to the virtual world is far greater than the interests of the camp.
However, if he changes his family before he has obtained the quota, he will never get the quota.
——It's useless for people from Qiu Yong's group to support him. Xu Changkong and others will definitely oppose it, and they will oppose it extremely fiercely.
No force will allow a traitor to live a better life, which will allow more people to follow suit.
Before entering the realm of returning to virtual reality, he did not want to have any contact with Zhuge Mingzhu.
Even if you want to gain their support, you can only do it in the most obscure way, without leaving anything that can be used as evidence.
He wasn't sure whether this would win people's trust.
It's just that he knew that such an opportunity existed but didn't go for it, so he couldn't pass his level.
Now it seems that Zhuge Mingzhu has a response, but he is not very sure what this response means. He can only be sure that this is Zhuge Mingzhu's response.
In the same way, it is impossible for Zhuge Mingzhu to give him any response that can be used as evidence.
Thinking of what Xu Zhen mentioned about Zhuge Mingzhu's hope that Xu Zhen would marry Ning Shaoyang, she thought: "Does she mean that she wants me, her granddaughter, to marry her apprentice, so that she can support me in getting the place to enter the realm of returning to the virtual world?
"
Thinking about it, I think it's unlikely.
What an important opportunity it is to be a Void Returning monk. It is more important than the position of an elder. How can Xu Zhen be exchanged for it?
Then I thought: "Maybe this is just a premise that can be negotiated. Only after I achieve this step will she offer her price."
He glanced at Xu Zhen, gave her the jade bottle, and said:
"This elixir is quite good and will be of great benefit to you. You can take one pill a year, which will help you go further on the path of cultivation."
Xu Zhen took the jade bottle and was very happy.
Xu Xiao threw her another jade token:
"Take this and go to Fuxiantan Xinhao Courtyard to practice. You only have five years, don't waste it."
Fuxiantan is a relatively large spiritual energy pool, and it is also the location of an important formation base for the Tahao Gate protective formation.
Beside the pool, there are ten large courtyards that are shielded by spiritual consciousness and named after the heavenly stems. There are spiritual liquid wells in them, leading to the spiritual energy pool. They are good places for cultivation.
If you want to go in and practice, you need to have such a jade token.
Xu Zhen has always wanted to go to that place to practice, but she doesn't have the qualifications, so she can only dream about it.
Now I finally have this opportunity.
After accepting the jade token, Xu Zhen said: "Don't worry, ancestor, I will definitely practice well. I won't go anywhere in the past five years, I will just stay there and practice."
Xu Xiao waved his hand: "Go ahead."
Xu Zhen walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back and asked: "Ancestor, is it a rumor that the dividing line is going to disappear?"
"At least, it is a rumor now." Xu Xiao said, "Don't ask about this matter again, and don't think about it. You will know it when you should know it. When you shouldn't know it, knowing it won't mean anything to you.
Good thing."
"Yes, ancestor."
Xu Zhen answered respectfully.
On the way to Fuxiantan, she felt a storm in her heart.
