No one spoke, they just looked at each other. They could only hear each other's breathing.
One person's breathing was slow, and the other one was a little hurried. The one who was breathing slowly was Chu Cheng, and the one who was breathing fast was the man in red robe.
Chu Cheng felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, and the thought of leaving arose in his heart, but when he thought that the person in front of him was the liquid condensation monk, no matter how uneasy he felt, he could not leave.
The door slowly closed, which didn't help.
When people become more uneasy, they will look calm and pretend to be calm to cover up the panic in their hearts.
Chu Cheng looked at the person in front of him calmly, and suddenly felt that his master was a little strange.
Although he has only met Changsun Hall a few times and is not familiar with it, he feels even more unfamiliar today.
Changsuntang smiled softly and said nothing, but the joy in his eyes became even more intense.
After a moment, Chu Cheng thought for a while and finally moved. He bent down and stood up, bowing as a junior.
"Disciple Chu Cheng, pay homage to Master."
Chang Suntang did not reply, but focused his gaze on the door, penetrated the barrier, and finally landed on two rows of dead plum trees.
He looked very young at this time, like a young man in his early twenties. But who knows his real age?
If it were a tree, there would be more than 400 annual rings under its annual rings.
He is over 400 years old, and the fire of his life is gradually fading, and perhaps it will not be long before he goes out and becomes silent.
The foundation-building monks are only two hundred years old. The liquid condensation monks are only two hundred years older.
It takes a hundred years for a mortal to return to the void and two hundred years to build a foundation. A liquid condensation monk can only live for five hundred years at most.
Hundreds of years... It takes a mortal to turn into earth in a hundred years, but a monk only takes the same number of hundreds of years.
Changsuntang has entered his twilight years, and there will never be another hundred years in his life.
If you don't enter the golden elixir, it will only last a hundred years and will not last forever with heaven.
Although there is a lifespan after entering the golden elixir avenue, it will last for thousands of years after all.
Over the course of thousands of years, a dynasty prospered, declined, and changed.
However, Chang Sun Hall may never be seen again, unable to step onto the golden elixir avenue, and his soul will return to the starry sky and his body will turn into loess in a few decades.
The ebb and flow of the world are changing every year. The ups and downs of the world will never be seen again.
But how could Changsun Tang be willing to leave the world just like that? He still wants to live for another five hundred years, a thousand years...
But now, there is finally hope for continuation.
Changsuntang put on new clothes and even transformed into his youthful appearance to welcome this grand ceremony. When he enters the Golden Elixir Avenue, he will regain his youth again.
There was silence, so depressing that Chu Cheng could hardly breathe, but he remained calm on the surface, secretly thinking about how to deal with it. His left hand was clasped behind his back, and his thumb fell on the storage ring.
He was prepared to immediately take out those Xuan-level defensive talismans and the attack talisman if something went wrong.
This is what Chu Cheng relies on now, and it is also a means to save his life.
As long as he breaks out of this cave and is under the sect's forbidden formation, as long as he crushes this mysterious attack talisman and unleashes the condensation late-stage monk with all his strength, the elders of the sect will surely be alarmed.
"Are you afraid of me?" Changsuntang looked away and finally focused on Chu Cheng.
Chu Cheng was startled, but he still looked at Chang Sun Tang.
He smiled and said: "Master is joking. As a disciple, how can I be afraid of Master?"
Hearing this, Changsuntang looked at Chu Cheng with a half-smile but said, "I've noticed your nervousness since you first entered here."
The cave fell into silence. After a while, Chu Cheng slowly spoke, showing a joyful smile and said: "Master has cultivated to the heavens and reached the state of returning to nature. It really surprises the disciples!"
When he said this, he looked into Changsuntang's eyes as if he were staring at a poisonous snake.
Chu Cheng had a smile on his face and was happy. He seemed to be really happy that Changsuntang suddenly became young. But in his heart, he became more defensive.
In Changsuntang's eyes, Chu Cheng felt a hint of greed, just like looking at a delicious and tender fruit.
Chang Suntang laughed and said: "That's very good. I am very happy to see you. Today, I brought you a pot of tea."
The tea is hot, the water is clear and green in color, the white mist is curling up, and the fragrance is overflowing.
This tea is still the original tea, the tea that Chu Cheng drank last time. But after all, the taste has changed.
The sweetness turned into bitterness, the fragrance turned into tasteless...
"What? Don't you think it tastes good? How about a different pot?" Changsuntang and Chu Cheng had already sat down at this time.
Chu Cheng looked at the tea in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The tea that Master poured for me personally, how can it not taste good?"
He took a sip. The tea was fragrant and had a long aftertaste. It tasted much better than the last time.
Changsuntang smiled, took a sip and said, "This tea is also the favorite tea of your previous senior brothers."
When Chu Cheng heard this, his hand shook and the tea splashed...
Chang Suntang seemed not to have seen this scene, and said to himself: "When I drink tea for my teacher, I like to drink it all in one gulp, but I like to taste precious tea slowly. The more I sip it, the more I can enjoy it.
That pleasure.”
Chu Cheng regained his composure, wiped away the water stains calmly, and said with a smile: "This tea is good, but it's too hot."
He couldn't let Chang Sun Tang know his fears. Although he had discovered something, the thing he was worried about had not happened yet.
Before taking action, he still had an excuse to leave. If he knew what he had discovered, it would be a disaster.
Changsuntang took another sip of tea and said with a smile: "From the first time I saw you, I saw that you are extremely talented and your achievements in the future will definitely be no less than mine. But I didn't expect that I was still looking the wrong way.
.Your qualifications are rare in a thousand years, so it is not a problem to step into the golden elixir avenue."
Chu Cheng has been a disciple for only a year, and the first time he was only at the sixth level of Qi gathering, in just one year, he reached the perfection of Qi gathering, and it was also the great perfection of the 12th level of Qi gathering.
Throughout the ages, there have been many twelfth-level Qi-gathering monks in Qingzhou. Most of those golden elixir powers were at the twelfth-level during the Qi-gathering period, but which one could rise to the sixth level in a short period of time?
A small step?
Chu Cheng achieved the twelfth level of Qi Gathering in such a short period of time, which is a rare talent in the ages. Not only that, as long as Chu Cheng successfully refines the ultimate pill, he will definitely be able to enter the foundation building realm. This kind of advancement
The speed is simply terrifying!
Changsuntang narrowed his eyes and said again: "You are extremely talented, even the great masters of Jindan will rush to accept you as their disciple. Do you feel wronged by your worshiping under my disciple?"
Although Chu Cheng agreed in his heart, he did not dare to say these words. He could only say: "If it weren't for Master, I wouldn't have entered the path of alchemy. If it weren't for the Qi-breaking Pill given by Master, the disciple said
Maybe it's still stuck on the sixth level of Qi Gathering."
He acted very sincerely, without any flaws. It was as if... he was really extremely grateful to Changsun Hall.
Chang Suntang chuckled and said, "Interesting, none of my former disciples have ever said that."
Chu Cheng smiled slightly and said: "Because the disciple is the one who respects the master the most among these brothers!"
As he spoke, his eyes never left Changsun Hall, and the feeling of depression became stronger and stronger.
Chang Suntang chuckled and said: "If I met you a hundred years ago, you would have achieved such achievements. I am really happy to be my teacher. But I don't have much time to be my teacher."
He only has twenty or thirty years before his end, or even less. Time is indeed running out.
Changsun Tang sighed and continued: "I was one hundred and fifty-three years old to build the foundation, and three hundred and twenty-nine years to condense the liquid. Unfortunately, my qualifications are limited. Now two hundred years have passed again, but I am still stuck in the middle stage of the liquid condensation."
"It's a pity that the deadline is approaching and there is not much time left."
With a sigh, he felt helpless. Although Chang Sun Tang was only in the middle stage of cultivation and ranked low in strength among the Luo Yun Sect, his qualifications could be said to be among the top three among the elders.
The golden elixir avenue is really too difficult to enter. For thousands of years, even in the entire Green Continent, not many people can step into it with their hands. It has stumped tens of thousands of liquid condensation perfection monks.
Chu Cheng shook his head and said: "Master Hongfu Qitian will definitely be able to embark on the golden elixir road."
Chang Suntang chuckled and said: "I have been stuck in the middle stage of condensation for a hundred years. Even if you give me another two hundred years, it will be useless. But there is a shortcut."
Chu Cheng raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but be curious, and asked: "What method is it?"
He has never heard of any way to directly enter the golden elixir realm from the middle stage of liquid condensation. Although he must have truly established the foundation and directly enter the golden elixir realm in the future, he is still a little curious.
"Eighty years ago, my teacher got a secret book of alchemy by chance. This was the key to entering the golden elixir avenue!"
"By the way, this secret book of alchemy is exactly the one my master gave you a year ago." Chang Suntang continued: "This secret book of alchemy records a kind of elixir. As long as sixteen people can practice it,
A cultivator who has perfected the Qi Gathering of the Dan Dao and refined it into the Huang Quan Dao Breaking Dan will have a 90% chance of successfully entering the realm of the Golden Dan."
Suddenly, an evil spirit swept through the cave, so oppressive that even the soul trembled.
This is the liquid monk! The liquid monk who made Chu Cheng not even have the heart to resist.
Chu Cheng trembled in his heart, but remained calm on the surface...
Sure enough, Chu Cheng's guess was indeed correct. The disappearance of those disciples was related to Changsun Hall, but what no one expected was that those people were actually refined into elixirs!
Sixteen pills, sixteen people. Except for Chu Cheng, fifteen disciples had already been refined into pills.
Now, there is only one missing. In other words, as long as Chu Cheng is refined into elixir, it will be the time when Chang Sun Tang enters the golden elixir.
This is the Immortal Sect, the leader of the righteous path in Qingzhou, but there is such a vicious person in the Immortal Sect, who uses people to practice elixirs. This kind of unscrupulous thing can only be done by people from the Evil Sect.
At this moment, Chu Cheng felt deeply cold, as if he was in an ice cellar.
At this moment, outside the cave, the remaining sun sets, the dusk is gone, and the last light disappears.
Only, the darkness is full, there is no moon and no stars tonight.
