Zheng Chen woke up quickly. Because he was not in a cultivation state, he was wearing very thin clothes. Naturally, he could not lie on the cold ground for too long in such a cold winter.
After waking up from the cold, Zheng Chen rubbed his head, as if he had a nightmare.
Before he had time to recall the information that had entered his memory, Zheng Chen saw the master's body lying next to him again, and tears could not help but fall down again.
Just when Zheng Chen was heartbroken, two people walked in from the outside. One was an old man wrapped in a blue robe, and the other was a middle-aged monk wearing a blue robe. Both of them had bright eyes and restrained auras. They were obviously both
A person with advanced cultivation.
At this time, the middle-aged monk frowned slightly and said in an indifferent tone: "Zheng Chen, how did your master die?"
Zheng Chen turned around, was startled at first, then stood up and saluted, and said: "Back to the Peak Master, Master, he went into the forest to collect medicinal materials and accidentally encountered a golden elixir stage monster and was seriously injured. Not long after he came back..."
"oh?"
The middle-aged man who was called the Peak Master was the Peak Master of Fuyun Peak and a Yuanying Stage monk. He didn't seem to believe Zheng Chen's words. He scanned Ge Shan's body several times with his spiritual mind, and then
Said: "With your master's level of cultivation, it is indeed very dangerous to fight against the golden elixir stage monsters, but your master is not an ordinary spirit-gathering stage monk. Even though he does not have the ability to face the golden elixir stage monsters directly, he can still escape.
It can be done. I see that your master has completely consumed all his skills, and there is not even a trace of life essence left in his body. This is not like a normal death from serious injuries. It is clearly that his skills and life essence have been drained away by external forces. What about you?
How to explain?”
Although Zheng Chen was sad, he was by no means confused. Hearing what the Peak Master said, he couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that the Peak Master suspected that Zheng Chen would disobey and kill his master? With Zheng Chen's current situation, even if the master is seriously injured, how can I stand a chance?"
,Moreover, the peak master can check my cultivation status, is there anything wrong with it?"
When Zheng Chen asked him this question, the peak master's already frowned brows became obviously tense. The old man in blue robe on the side nodded and said: "Zheng Chen only has the early stage cultivation of Najing at this time, and
I have always respected my master, and the Peak Master filtered it out. However, Senior Brother Ge did die strangely."
"Hmph! If this kid has no evil intentions, why has he never reported the death of his master? I believe Elder Li can tell. Senior Brother Ge has been dead for no less than two hours. According to the rules of the sect, Zheng Chen should be the first to report the death of his master.
You should report the death of your master, why did you and I have to be dragged here?" The peak master still seemed to think that Zheng Chen was suspected in Ge Shan's death, after all, Ge Shan's death was a bit strange.
However, Zheng Chen knew that some things should never be told to outsiders, but if this matter was not given a reasonable explanation, it was obvious that the peak master would not let it go.
Zheng Chen gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Zheng Chen can swear on his soul. If Zheng Chen has ever thought of murdering his master, I wish that both body and soul will be destroyed and he will never be reincarnated!"
Hearing Zheng Chen's oath, the Peak Master and Elder Li looked at each other. Elder Li nodded, but the Peak Master said to Zheng Chen: "In any case, there are still many doubts about this matter. Before the matter is clarified, let's just
Master nephew, please stay in Yanfa Pavilion for a few days."
Everyone in the Luoxia Sect knows that the Yanfa Pavilion is not a place to study magic, but a place for disciples who have violated the sect rules to think about their mistakes behind closed doors. The peak master asked Zheng Chen to go to the Yanfa Pavilion, which actually imprisoned him.
Zheng Chen was very angry in his heart. He had clearly made an oath, but the peak master still made things difficult for him. But he was still angry. In front of the Nascent Soul master, he had no ability to resist, so he had no choice but to be taken to Fuyun by the peak master.
Yanfa Pavilion on the top of the mountain.
Fuyun Peak is more than a thousand feet high. At its peak, there are several secret rooms opened by masters from the outer sect. These secret rooms form the so-called Dharma Research Pavilion, which is a place for disciples who have made mistakes to think about their mistakes.
The secret rooms are all in the caves on the top of the mountain, but the entire Fuyun Peak has many restrictions. The disciples locked in the secret room of Yanfa Pavilion have absolutely no chance of escaping. Of course, for countless years, no one would think of joining Yanfa Pavilion.
Escape from the Dharma Pavilion. After all, if you do that, you will not only lose your cultivation and be expelled from the master, but you may also be directly wiped out.
At this time, Zheng Chen was in a secret room, his eyes were a little wandering, and his mood was like a mess.
Zheng Chen, who had raised and taught him for more than ten years, passed away like this. It was hard for Zheng Chen, who was only sixteen years old, to accept it. Although after so many years of training, he was also a determined person, but now he couldn't help but feel sad.
, especially when the attack on the Soul Gathering Stage failed, and Junior Sister Yun'er, whom he watched grow up, was also taken away by the head of the inner sect, a series of blows fell on the young man, how embarrassing it was!
Even in such a bad situation, the peak master still had doubts about himself, which really made Zheng Chen angry.
Zheng Chen was also puzzled. In the past, the peak master took good care of him and always looked kind and cheerful when he saw him. Why did the peak master seem to be a different person just after his master died? Is it because the master died and he was no longer there?
Rely? But after all, the master is only at the Spirit Gathering Stage. Even if he is alive, he can't deter the Peak Master at the Nascent Soul Stage, right?
By the way, the master said before he died that his parents had offended many of his fellow disciples. The peak master was obviously of the same age as his parents, so it was impossible to say that they had ever had trouble before. Of course, this was only a possibility, not necessarily
Is the truth.
After thinking quietly for two days, Zheng Chen gradually came out of his depressed mood. After eating some cold food, he quietly closed his eyes.
Zheng Chen did not plot to kill his master, so he naturally did not feel guilty. After sitting quietly for a few more days, he searched in his memory for the Emperor-level Wood Technique passed down to him by Duan Mujun.
In Zheng Chen's heart, he wants to become stronger more and more urgently. In this world, the strong are respected and the weak eat the strong. Without enough strength, everything is like a dream.
Zheng Chen is not a daydreaming person. Under the guidance of his master Ge Shan for more than ten years, he has gradually matured and understood very well that everything is achieved through hard work and daydreams will not increase his strength by half.
Duanmu Jun passed on to Zheng Chen the wood-type emperor-level technique, called the Wood Refining Divine Seal. Although Zheng Chen didn't have much experience, he could feel that this technique was indeed unimaginable.
To practice the Wood Refining Divine Chapter, you need to continuously plant various high-quality woods into the body, and the cultivation of each type of wood that enters the body will mostly go through the four stages of melting wood, growing wood, spiritual wood, and sacred wood. Once the body is in the body
When the number of sacred trees reaches a certain level, they have the power to move mountains and seas, which is extremely terrifying.
However, there are not many wood species that meet the requirements. Even if you get it by luck, it is extremely difficult to refine it to the sacred wood stage. Even if you want to refine a wood species to the spiritual wood stage, you need at least
To reach the golden elixir stage, and to refine a wood species to the divine wood stage, you need to at least reach the Nascent Soul stage. This is only the cultivation of one wood species. If there are two or more types, the requirements
The conditions were even more stringent, almost making Zheng Chen feel powerless.
Zheng Chen only read the beginning and stopped reading, because the cultivation of the Wood Refining Divine Seal, even in the initial stage, requires the cultivation of the Soul Gathering Stage, and the wood species that meet the Wood Refining Divine Seal,
It is not that easy to obtain. When he successfully advances to the spirit gathering stage, he can only find low-grade wood species to implant into his body. High-grade wood species cannot be cultivated in his body because it requires too much energy.
Huge energy to support.
Even low-grade wood species, as long as they have spirituality, can grow into sacred trees after years of cultivation and refining.
For Zheng Chen, breaking through to the Soul Gathering Stage as soon as possible is the top priority. He had almost despaired of breaking through to the Soul Gathering Stage before, not knowing the secret of the reverse vein before, but with Na Duanmujun's guidance, everything suddenly became clear.
.
First, completely open the forward and reverse meridians again to restore the acupoint-charging stage, and then use the fire spiritual power of the forward and reverse meridians to open up the reverse meridians. After both the forward and reverse meridians are completely unblocked, then enter the spirit-gathering stage.
In the secret room of Yanfa Pavilion, the spiritual power is thin, and the effect of practicing here is not obvious. But Zheng Chen knows that the journey of cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. There is no room for slacking off.
Sit cross-legged and meditate, close your eyes and calm your mind. Under the operation of the Red Flame Art, the spiritual power between heaven and earth seems to have been summoned, slowly flowing into the body. After being refined by the Red Flame Art, it becomes pure fire spiritual power, which continues to gather.
In the vein of Zheng Chen...
After practicing hard for nearly two months, winter has quietly passed and spring has arrived.
In this spring when all things revived, Zheng Chen finally left the Yanfa Pavilion under the leadership of Elder Li.
As soon as he stepped out of the Yanfa Pavilion, Elder Li, who was wearing a blue robe, whispered: "The cause of your master's death has not been found out yet, but we can't keep you locked up. After all, you are just a little suspicious, and there are many people in the peak."
Most of the elders believe that you are not that rebellious person. However, the peak master seems to have a deep grudge against you and has not chosen a new master for you. He said that he would send you away after you turn eighteen. Some things should not be done right.
You talk too much, but I still remind you to keep a low profile in the future, move around less in the peak, and especially don’t provoke the peak master and his disciples. The peak master suffered a lot at the hands of your father back then...
"
When Zheng Chen heard this, he secretly thought that it was true, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He just cupped his fists and bowed to Elder Li, saying, "Thank you, Elder Li, for reminding me."
At this time, Elder Li had already brought Zheng Chen back to his residence, sighed and left.
In Zheng Chen's heart, he was quite grateful to Elder Li. Others wanted to add insult to injury at this time, and at least they would not risk offending the Peak Master by supporting Zheng Chen. However, Elder Li told him frankly that it was not easy.
Of course, Zheng Chen had known for a long time that Elder Li, who had a good relationship with his master Ge Shan, had always been upright. Even the peak master was quite wary of him, even though his cultivation level was not high.
"Low-key? Haha..." Looking at the back of Elder Li as he left, Zheng Chen murmured to himself.
