Xiang An fell into endless contemplation. Qu Jiping did not interrupt him, but silently breathed in the true energy, absorbing the true energy plundered from Xiang An's dantian.

Xiang An didn't care at all about his own cultivation being abolished, and he couldn't extricate himself from the past time.

He suddenly felt that it was good to be locked up here. He felt that he had been too tired in the past few years. Cultivating Taoism for the sake of cultivating Taoism made him lose his happiness. In other words, he did not benefit from the improvement of his cultivation and status.

Get the happiness you deserve from the achievement of honors.

Instead, these things became a burden on him.

After much thought, he actually felt that the path of cultivating Taoism was not in line with his own vision of the future. He even thought that if Qu Jiping abolished his cultivation, he could return to Bacao Village and become an ordinary young farmer.

Farming, cutting firewood, and hunting every day lead an ordinary life.

He felt that his future was not to be an indomitable hero, to be a supreme Taoist master, or to be the leader of a sect with supreme power. He just wanted to live an ordinary, ordinary life, without the need to be like a sect.

Now it's so exciting and exciting.

However, if his thoughts were known to Qu Jiping next to him, he would definitely scold him on behalf of his master Yan Boping. He has no ambitions and cannot be carved from rotten wood.

After a whole day passed like this, Xiang An was awakened by the hunger in his belly. After all, without the support of his true energy, he was no different from a mortal. If Qu Jiping hadn't deliberately avoided his source, he would have

If his source point is preserved, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in this water prison.

But despite this, Xiang An still felt a bone-chilling cold at this moment. For the first time, he discovered that the water in this water prison was so unbearable for him.

Fortunately, Xiang An has found his own joy in fishing, a necessary "entertainment" activity for rural teenagers, since he was a child. I am afraid that the moment he woke up and fluttered, he was going to drown.

"Wake up." Qu Jiping, who had been quiet on the side, just asked aloud at this time, as if he had been waiting for Xiang An to wake up from meditation.

"Wake up..." Xiang An said through chattering teeth.

"Have you figured it out?"

"I figured it out."

"Then I will now teach you the Chaos Technique that I have studied all my life, word for word. You must listen carefully." Qu Jiping said impatiently.

"Uncle...I..." Xiang An hesitated for a moment, obviously he also knew that if he could learn this skill from Qu Jiping, his cultivation would definitely be able to reach a higher level.

Seeing Xiang An hesitating, Qu Jiping was furious, "Speak out if you have anything to say! Don't be like your master, hesitating and delaying many important things!

"

"Uncle Master, I...I don't want to practice Taoism anymore." Xiang An mustered up the courage to tell what he had been thinking about that day.

"I don't want to practice Taoism anymore?!" Qu Jiping, who has been raised in Taiyimen, a holy land of Taoism since he was a child, naturally cannot listen to Xiang An's words. In his thinking, people should be born to practice Taoism, and practicing Taoism is like

It is a common thing to eat and drink. You can even refuse to eat and drink for the sake of cultivating Taoism.

Therefore, when Qu Jiping listens

After hearing Xiang An's words, he was stunned for a moment. He had almost planned how to make Xiang An improve quickly, how to make him avoid the detours he had taken step by step, and finally realize his dream.

But Xiang An's decision was to go in the opposite direction to him, which caught him off guard.

"What are you going to do if you don't practice Taoism anymore?" Qu Jiping asked.

"I'm going back to the village. I have saved a lot of monthly salary from Taiyi Sect in the past few years. I will go back to cultivate a few acres of land, buy a few cows, and repair my house. I think it will be more than enough, and then I will go back to the village.

I can’t go out in the village anymore, this life is so beautiful!” Xiang An said excitedly.

However, the excited Xiang An did not see Qu Jiping's increasingly green face, perhaps because he could not see Qu Jiping's face clearly in the dark.

"Uncle, do you know? There is a piece of land in the mountains behind our village that is particularly good. What you plant on that land grows whatever you plant. It is such a pity that the land is barren!" Xiang An became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen it.

The harvest scene he described, "When the time comes, I will..."

But Xiang An's words stopped abruptly when he heard only "bang".

Qu Jiping, who was quite angry, directly used his true energy to sink Xiang An under the cold water, intending to make Xiang An calm down.

After all, he didn't want his successor to be so unambitious. Qu Jiping looked at Xiang An rising and falling on the water, and couldn't help but sigh. He only chose Xiang An because he had his own plans.

.

After all, he has experienced so much darkness in the world, and his grasp of human nature is very accurate. The reason why he chose Xiang An was not because of his understanding, cultivation, appearance, etc., but because he felt a kind of innocence in Xiang An.

heart of.

This innocent heart is not only reflected in Xiang An's character, but also in Xiang An's conduct as a person.

In other words, Xiang An passed the test set by Qu Jiping himself through his own performance.

And Qu Jiping also knew that if he wanted to realize what he wanted, a reliable person like Xiang An would be a reliable successor and spokesperson.

Among the juniors Qu Jiping had met, many were more savvy and capable than Xiang An, but the only one who could make him feel at ease was Xiang An.

Qu Jiping looked at Xiang An with a look that made him hate the iron. He suddenly understood Xiang An. Perhaps it was Xiang An's non-dispute and non-robbing that gave him a feeling of peace of mind. If it were another person,

If so, facing the temptation provided by Qu Jiping, he may just be unable to control himself. In his fanatical pursuit of power, the tragedy that happened to his master may very well occur.

For Qu Jiping, the tragedy that happened to his master was also the tragedy of his life. It was an eternal pain in his heart, and that pain was also a permanent regret in his life.

Under this kind of regret, Qu Jiping has been hiding in this water prison for so many years, living a life of neither humans nor ghosts. The big reason is the regret in his heart and the anger this regret brings to him.

.

Although Qu Jiping's cultivation level was high, this cultivation level also cost him a huge price. It was this price that forced him to choose Xiang An as his successor.

Xiang An's arrival was as timely as sending a pillow to a sleepy person. Qu Jiping himself was not sure if

If I procrastinate any longer, will I still be able to be myself? I will still not be Qu Jiping.

After figuring this out, Qu Jiping waved his hand and let go of Xiang An who had drank a lot of water.

After being released, Xiang An quickly began to breathe in the stale air.

He didn't expect that just because he didn't want to practice Taoism, his fourth uncle would be so angry.

"Huh, once you enter the Taoist sect, it's not up to you! You have to learn if you want to, and you have to learn from me if you don't want to!" Qu Jiping shouted loudly, "I will teach you well for your master today!"

Before Xiang An could reply, Qu Jiping directly used his true energy to lift Xiang An up in the air.

I didn't see how Qu Jiping did it. A water column directly wrapped Xiang An.

Under Xiang An's gaze, Qu Jiping blew a breath at him, and a blast of cold air came out, causing the already low temperature of the entire water prison to suddenly drop a lot.

Before Xiang An had time to feel the coldness, he was hit by the water splash in mid-air, and was directly frozen in mid-air by the cold air.

Biting cold, this was Xiang An's first feeling. Wearing an armor made of ice, Xiang An did not feel any sense of security. Instead, he felt that he was about to turn into an ice sculpture.

"Uncle Master, what are you doing!" Xiang An shouted in horror.

"What are you doing? I want you to wake up and strengthen your body. Your little body is too weak."

"Uncle Master, I really don't want to practice Taoism anymore. Please let me go. It's better to pass on your cultivation to others. I'm stupid. I'm extremely stupid. I definitely won't be able to learn it!"

"Humph! I need you to teach me how to do things?" Qu Jiping seemed to have found his own pleasure in "abusing" Xiang An.

"Master...Uncle, I really just want to go back to the village and live a stable life. The world of cultivation...is not...easy." In just a few words, Xiang An's whole body was frozen.

The hairs stand on end and are clearly defined. It is obvious that the cold air coming from Qu Jiping is not just a simple cold air.

"Boy, I advise you to save it." Qu Jiping stood up on the water, "Shut up, if you don't want to become a popsicle."

After Qu Jiping said this, he blew out another mouthful of cold air. The moment the cold air appeared, Xiang An really felt that he could not say a word, and the entire "ice armor" instantly dropped several degrees.

.

The ice armor that was about to be frozen just now is actually like "Shennian Ice", covered with frost.

Xiang An felt as if his whole body had lost contact. Except for his head, which could still obey his command, other parts had lost contact with his spirit.

Xiang An also didn't expect that Qu Jiping could be so cruel. But he was used to tenacity, so he allowed himself to completely immerse himself in it, feel and endure this kind of freezing.

After all, he knew that Qu Jiping would not really freeze him for some reason. After all, Qu Jiping still wanted to train his cultivation.

Seeing that Xiang An was resigned to his fate and obeyed his own arrangements, a smile appeared on Qu Jiping's lips again, as if some plot had succeeded again.
