Located in the south of Nanlu Kingdom and north of the Monster Forest, the Luoxia Sect, as the first sect within tens of thousands of miles, has been passed down for countless years. It is divided into two sects, the inner and outer sects, and has an extremely systematic and strict cultivation system.
It is a place that the people of the neighboring empires yearn for.
There are five peaks in the outer gate of Luoxia Gate. In addition to the main peak Zixia Peak, there are four peaks: Fuyun Peak, Liuyun Peak, Lingyun Peak and Qingyun Peak, respectively standing on the four sides of Zixia Peak.
Zixia Peak is the training place for the Luoxia Sect's outer sect leader's lineage, ranking first among the five outer sect peaks. The other four peaks are managed by the outer sect leader's four junior disciples. The outer sect leader's lineage has many members.
There are many, but all of them are extremely talented people, and their overall strength far exceeds any of the other four peaks. However, there are also disciples with good bones among the other four peaks, and the strength of each of the other four peaks is
There are a lot of disciples, and occasionally there will be geniuses who surprise even the outer sect leaders.
A few years ago, Fuyun Peak's junior disciple Zheng Chen reached the late stage of acupuncture at the age of eleven. The outer sect was shocked for a while, and even the inner sect felt that this boy's future was limitless and they were very concerned about it.
But things are unpredictable. After a few years, Zheng Chen, who is now sixteen years old, was rejected by the Soul Gathering Stage three times, making his name of "once a genius now a waste" even more worthy of his name.
Many of his seniors who had high hopes for him were filled with regret, which naturally also made the young disciples who had been suppressed by his halo of genius utter mockery.
However, what is even more shocking is that Xiao Yun'er, an outer disciple from the same lineage as Zheng Chen and taught by the same master, advanced to the spirit gathering stage at the age of ten. Her outstanding cultivation talent directly
The heads of the inner sect woke up from seclusion and wanted to take him directly into the inner sect and take him as a disciple.
The geniuses of the past have completely lost their halo and fallen into waste; the geniuses of today are full of brilliance. As the master of two geniuses, a deacon elder of the outer sect Fuyun Peak has been in the late stage of gathering spirits for a long time but has been unable to break through.
Ge Shan, who was in the golden elixir stage, had a lot of emotions in his heart. He didn't know whether to be happy that his female disciple had become an immortal genius, or to be sad for the genius he once was.
****
It was already winter, and the cold wind was biting among the peaks.
On the back mountain of Fuyun Peak, facing the vast forest sea, you can faintly hear the roars of beasts coming from the monster forest.
At this time, a young man in green shirt was lying on the trunk of a big tree with his head on his hands, holding a dry grass stem in his mouth, chewing it slowly, letting the bitterness spread in his mouth.
"Senior Brother Zheng Chen, it turns out you are here."
Suddenly, a sound as clear as a bell came to the young man's ears.
The young man in green shirt tilted his head and saw a little girl in a white dress running towards him, her expression full of innocence and childishness. But who would have thought that,
This little girl who is only ten years old is now a monk in the Soul Gathering Stage, and her strength is comparable to that of the fifty or sixty year old men from the outer sect.
"Junior sister Yun'er, why are you so happy today?" Zheng Chen jumped down from the tree, touched the little girl's smooth and jade-like forehead, gently scratched her small and delicate nose, and asked with a warm smile.
"Hehe, I have good news for you. Don't envy me after hearing this." Yun'er rubbed her itchy nose and said with a smile, seemingly full of joy and a bit of expectation.
"Is the head of the inner sect going to accept you as his disciple?" Zheng Chen asked with a natural expression. At the same time, he sat down on a piece of bluestone and took Yun'er into his arms, as if to block the cold wind for her.
"Senior brother is so smart. He guessed right. The old man asked me to pour him a cup of tea, kowtowed a few times, and then gave me a lot of greeting gifts." Yun'er said proudly.
She is still young, with a bit of childishness, and likes to show off very much. As she speaks, she has already pulled out a bunch of jade bottles, a small silver dagger and a red ribbon from her storage bag.
.
Although Zheng Chen's cultivation level plummeted due to his failure to attack the Soul Gathering Stage this time, his eyesight was still there. Naturally, he could see that the jade bottle contained many pills that made the inner disciples jealous, and the small short
The sword is probably a high-grade flying sword, and the red ribbon must be a good magic weapon.
It has to be said that the head of the inner sect does have an extraordinary status. Even if it is a apprenticeship gift given to disciples who are only in the spirit gathering stage, any of them will make the golden elixir stage monks jealous. If Yun'er's cultivation becomes stronger in the future, how can he
Aren’t there more treasures to give away?
Of course, the master's disciples cannot be compared with ordinary disciples.
"Yun'er, these are all treasures. You have to keep them. Maybe your strength cannot make these treasures play a very powerful role now, but you will definitely be able to in the future. Within the sect, it is good that you have so many treasures.
, considering that you are the direct disciple of the sect leader, no one will covet you, but if you go outside in the future, you must not let others see your treasure, so as not to cause trouble." Zheng Chen and Yun'er have a relationship.
Because of the relationship between brother and sister, Zheng Chen, who is much older, often teaches Yun'er on behalf of his master. After all, in this world, the person Yun'er is closest to is Zheng Chen, even closer than her master Ge Shan.
"Come, come, come, everyone has a share. You can pick whatever you want. Don't say that I'm stingy, junior sister. I won't share the benefits with you." Yun'er didn't put the treasures away immediately, but spread them out, as if letting them go.
Zheng Chen’s posture of making choices.
However, Yun'er was biting her red lips with silver teeth and staring at the small silver dagger and the red ribbon. She was obviously more interested in these two treasures and was a little worried that Zheng Chen would want one of them.
How could Zheng Chen not see Yun'er's thoughts? He smiled slightly and said: "Senior brother has basically lost hope in cultivation. These treasures are useless to me. If senior brother takes one of them, he might cause trouble. You will
Put it away, senior brother knows your thoughts, thank you Yun'er."
Hearing this, Yun'er was overjoyed at first, then stunned, then waved her hands and said: "No, no, you used to often say that I am stingy, saying that I won't share the benefits with you, this time you will get the same score no matter what you say, otherwise
I won’t rely on you. Besides, without the spirit-gathering pill sent by my senior brother, I wouldn’t have been able to break through to the spirit-gathering stage this time.”
After saying this, Yun'er took a look at the treasure spread out, took out a jade bottle with three golden pills, stuffed it into Zheng Chen's hand, and said: "That's it, don't refuse, hum!"
Yun'er wrinkled her nose, snorted, and then jumped out of Zheng Chen's arms. As if she was afraid that Zheng Chen would bring the jade bottle back again, she ran away like a fly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Chen wanted to catch up, but his body had just recovered, and his strength had dropped to the early stage of collecting spirits. It was extremely difficult to catch up with Yun'er, who was now in the spirit gathering stage.
Furthermore, Zheng Chen knows better than anyone else that once Yun'er decides on something, it will be difficult to change it no matter what. However, if Yun'er, who is famous for being stingy, can take the initiative to give away the treasure he has, I'm afraid that looking at the whole world, it will also
Only Zheng Chen can do it.
When Zheng Chen walked slowly to the door of his master Ge Shan, he saw an old man with Taoist immortality whom he had never met before, taking Yun'er away with a flying sword filled with golden light.
.
"That old man must be the head of the inner sect in the later period of the Immortal Master." Zheng Chen murmured as he watched the golden light disappear from the sky, but there was some sadness in his eyes.
Now that Yun'er is gone, I'm afraid Zheng Chen will never see her again in his life. How can he feel comfortable thinking about the little guy who has been following him around like a follower disappearing from the rest of his life?
Yun'er is still young and cannot yet understand the feeling of separation. For her, she has no idea what it means to be taken away this time. She may still be thinking that she can come back after having enough fun today.
Looking up at the sky blankly, Zheng Chen suddenly felt his shoulders sink. When he came to his senses, he found a pair of old palms resting on his shoulders.
"Master." Zheng Chen turned around and saluted his master Ge Shan.
"Hey, Chen'er, don't be nervous and practice hard. You still have two years." Ge Shan looked at the somewhat decadent disciples, feeling helpless and depressed in his heart. He knew very well that even with Zheng Chen's cultivation speed, if he wanted to
Within two years, from the early stage of receiving semen to the late stage of acupuncture, there is little hope, so I can only offer words of comfort.
Zheng Chen gave a bitter smile, but when he looked up, he suddenly realized that his master seemed to be much older. Although Zheng Chen was not very old, his mind was definitely not low. He could feel a little bit of his master's mood. After all, he had been with him for more than ten years.
In 2007, a disciple failed to enter the Soul Gathering Stage and almost missed the opportunity to practice. Although another disciple advanced to the Soul Gathering Stage, he was taken away as a disciple by others. Under such a double blow, Master Ge Shan did feel a little bitter in his heart. After all, Zheng
Chen and Yun'er are his last two disciples.
"Disciple will definitely work hard." Although Zheng Chen knew that there was no hope, he couldn't bear to show his lack of fighting spirit in front of the master, so he steeled himself and said.
"Well, face difficulties and don't be afraid of dangers. Although you may not succeed, at least you have fought hard. Your father and mother were so strong back then. It's a pity..." When Ge Shan said this, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly
He silenced his voice.
Zheng Chen has also heard some stories about his parents, but he doesn’t know much. He only knows that his parents were once geniuses and achieved very high levels of cultivation, but later died due to mistakes in cultivation. As for the specific situation, those rumors
Whether the story was true or not, he didn't know.
Since the master didn't say anything further, Zheng Chen didn't ask further questions. He was still very clear about his master's temper. If the master didn't want to talk about it, there was no way he could ask.
Zheng Chen suddenly remembered the three pills that Yun'er left for him, so he took out the jade bottle and said to his master Ge Shan: "Master, what are these three pills?"
Ge Shan glanced at the elixir in the jade bottle, but his face didn't look very good. After all, the head of the inner sect almost coaxed Yun'er away with these treasures. After a while, he said: "This is the Huimai Dan.
, has the effect of nourishing the tendons and recuperating internal injuries. After taking it, it can not only cultivate the tendons and heal internal injuries, but also mobilize the power of the medicine to open those dead and dead arteries that are difficult to penetrate. It can be regarded as the best among the third-grade elixirs."
"Is it useful to you?" Zheng Chen asked expectantly.
"I am already old, my muscles and veins have been established, and I have no internal injuries. What effect will it have on me? Now that your old injury has not healed yet, you can take one pill. You may not be able to recover as before in a few days."
