"This road is very tortuous, but the more difficult part is your choice. Whether to retreat or advance. Whether to yearn for the peak or stop moving forward."&1t;/p>
The hunchbacked old man's eyes have been falling on Chu Cheng, and he looked into his eyes, as if he wanted to see all his details.&1t;/p>
Being stared at by this gaze, Chu Cheng suddenly felt a little warm, as if being illuminated by the warm sun.&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng thought for a while and said: "We monks naturally want to move towards a higher realm. As big as the sky is, mine will be bigger than him. No matter how high the mountain is, I will be taller than it."&1t;/p
>
"Bigger than the sky, higher than the mountains?" The hunchbacked old man laughed. The wrinkles on the corners of his face were crowded together, looking like an old sycamore tree, weathered.&1t;/p>
"That's a good sentence." The hunchbacked old man nodded, turned around, picked up the teapot, and poured it into the cup.&1t;/p>
"Sit."&1t;/p>
The old man turned around again, looked at Chu Cheng, and pointed to the stool opposite the wooden table.&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng nodded, and could only obey orders in front of the peerless powerful man, and sat down opposite the old man.&1t;/p>
Although the old man looks like an ordinary old man without any fluctuation in his cultivation level, saints worship him as their teacher, so how can he be an ordinary old man?&1t;/p>
The old man pushed the tea in front of Chu Cheng and spoke again.&1t;/p>
"Drink tea."&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng nodded, picked up the tea cup, and drank it in one gulp. The next moment, he frowned slightly.&1t;/p>
The old man chuckled and continued to pour tea. Chu Cheng took the tea cup and drank it again.&1t;/p>
The old man poured tea again, and Chu Cheng continued to drink tea.&1t;/p>
Pour the tea, drink the tea, and then start again. But every time he drinks it, Chu Cheng’s brows frown more tightly.&1t;/p>
The old man put the teapot down until the teapot bottomed out and no more tea could be poured out.&1t;/p>
"How about this tea?"&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng was about to take the last sip of tea. He frowned and then relaxed.&1t;/p>
"Senior, do you want me to tell the truth?" Chu Cheng thought for a while and said.&1t;/p>
The old man nodded and motioned for Chu Cheng to continue.&1t;/p>
"It tastes bad. I thought senior would come up with the best spiritual tea in the world."&1t;/p>
This is an unparalleled powerhouse who was once just one step away from reaching the emperor level. He must have the best spiritual tea in the world.&1t;/p>
But the tea Chu Cheng drank was bland and tasteless. To be precise, it was a pot of water.&1t;/p>
In fact, this is indeed just a pot of water. Chu Cheng drank water, not tea.&1t;/p>
The old man chuckled and said, "Do you know why I brought out a pot of water for you to drink?"&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng smiled and said: "The water is clear. Senior, you want to tell me that during the journey of cultivating Taoism, you must not forget your original intention. You must be as clear as water?"&1t;/p>
The old man shook his head and sighed softly. He said: "It is indeed a good thing to not forget your true heart. But what I want to say is..."&1t;/p>
The sound suddenly stopped. The old man raised his head, glanced at the blue sky, and whispered again, with a little loneliness.&1t;/p>
"Although this water is tasteless, it can brew countless spiritual teas. It can brew ordinary tea, and it can also brew the best spiritual tea in the world."&1t;/p>
"Water is plain, but it contains countless possibilities. Just like this world... This world is like this cup of water. It can make a plain tea, but it can also make a memorable tea."&1t;/
p>
"There are countless living beings in heaven and earth. These living beings are like this tea, birds, beasts and insects, and even human beings, and even our monks."&1t;/p>
"This water can brew countless kinds of tea flavors, and countless creatures can be born in this world. Among these creatures, some are ordinary, with mediocre qualifications, and some are ordinary people." The old man said softly, but there was helplessness in his eyes.
The meaning is getting stronger and stronger.&1t;/p>
"What I want to tell you is that without this water, no matter how good the spiritual tea is, it is useless. Without this heaven and earth, those so-called geniuses and powerful men are just empty talk. If there is no heaven and earth, how can living beings be born?
How do you drink the strongest wine and the best tea in the world?"&1t;/p>
The world is destroyed, everything turns into nothingness. Except for the broken void, there is nothing else.&1t;/p>
The old man looked at Chu Cheng with focused eyes, showing a hint of excitement. This made Ouyang Zi stunned.&1t;/p>
Ouyangzi has never seen the old man with such an expression. In his impression, nothing can move the old man.&1t;/p>
However, the old man's mood changed at this moment.&1t;/p>
"Using the sky and the earth as a furnace, using the stars as medicine guides, turning the vicissitudes of the sun and moon into vitality, this kind of elixir has never been seen even by me." The old man looked at Chu Cheng, paused in his words, and showed some appreciation in his eyes.&1t
;/p>
"I am afraid that this kind of alchemy will be able to surpass me in the future... Even I am looking forward to where you can go in the future..."&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng smiled softly and said: "When it comes to alchemy, I am not as good as Master Ouyang."&1t;/p>
Hearing this, Ouyang Zi shook his head and said: "What Senior Brother said is wrong. From now on, with the guidance of Master, you will definitely make rapid progress in the path of alchemy. Even if you don't borrow his power, you will be able to touch the way of a saint."&1t;/p
>
Even Ouyang Zi didn't know how high the old man's alchemy attainments were. He only knew that it was very, very high, so high that he would never be able to touch it in his lifetime.&1t;/p>
Ouyangzi had very poor qualifications in his early years, but he never forgot his true intention and persisted. Like Venerable Xiao Yi, he was a late bloomer. After becoming the Alchemy King, he fell into the old man's eyes, gave him advice on the way of alchemy, and advanced to the holy position.&1t;/p>
"I have a total of five disciples in this life, and they are all registered. They have all reached the realm of human saints."&1t;/p>
"Five?" Chu Cheng's pupils shrank, a little surprised.&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng sighed softly. What a great thing it is to have five saints under one person.&1t;/p>
"Of these five, one is Ouyang Zi and the other is Zhuge Ming. These two are both the top alchemy masters in the seven realms of the world. The other three are from the Ziyun Sect's cultivation line and the Fu Zhen lineage.
A strong person in charge!" Lord Ding took a step forward and looked at Chu Cheng.&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng frowned and knew that there was more than one saint in Ziyun Sect, but he did not expect that there would be as many as four.&1t;/p>
"Boy, you're lucky! The old man is the best in alchemy, talisman formation, and training. If you get his guidance, won't you be able to walk sideways in the world in the future?"&1t;/p>
The old man's current strength may not be the best in the world, but he has traveled a path that is difficult for ordinary people to reach in this life. These experiences are still there.&1t;/p>
"I want to accept you as my disciple, but not by name or in person, but as a successor disciple."&1t;/p>
As soon as these words came out, even Mr. Ding became moved.&1t;/p>
Named disciples only give occasional advice. Personal transmission is nothing more than passing on one path, but inherited disciples teach them all.&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng suddenly became short of breath. An unparalleled powerful man passed down everything about himself. This was a great blessing.&1t;/p>
He has practiced Taoism for nearly 20 years and received some inheritance from Emperor Luo Yun. However, he has not understood the true magical effect of Huang Quan Jue.&1t;/p>
The inheritance of a dead person is far less effective than the inheritance of a living strong person.&1t;/p>
Personal guidance will reduce a lot of detours and take shortcuts.&1t;/p>
This was an unparalleled powerhouse, a distant saint. He must have countless resources and supreme skills. Chu Cheng was moved.&1t;/p>
The old man smiled and said: "But you must agree to my condition."&1t;/p>
"What conditions?" Chu Cheng was stunned and frowned.&1t;/p>
The red-nosed old man had asked him to take over the three god-transforming monks as his servants, and he had made conditions to do three things for them. Now, there are conditions again.&1t;/p>
"In the future, if you walk on the same path that I walked on back then, if someone wants to disturb this pot of water and disturb this world, I need you to stand up and support all sentient beings in this world."&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng's eyes flashed again. He didn't expect that the old man's condition would be this, and he was silent for a while.&1t;/p>
Supporting all living beings in the world? Chu Cheng is not a perfect person, nor is he a saint. He cannot be so great.&1t;/p>
All living beings in the world have no relatives or connections with him, so what do they have to do with him?&1t;/p>
Seeing Chu Cheng's silence, the old man spoke again and said: "I know that behind you, there is a strong man who is not weaker than me. The road is at your feet. How you choose depends on yourself."&1t
;/p>
Chu Cheng hesitated, but finally spoke, saying: "There is no one behind me. If Guting is coming, I will take action."&1t;/p>
Xue Yao is sleeping, and there is indeed no one behind Chu Cheng to support him, but Gu Ting has a causal relationship with him, and there is Luo Yun's aura in him. When Gu Ting comes one day, there will be a battle.&1t;/p>
This is for himself and his friends, not for the common people.&1t;/p>
"There is no one behind you?" The old man was a little surprised. There is no one behind you, but you can think of the vicissitudes of the sun and the moon. How outrageous is this.&1t;/p>
The old man suddenly laughed and said: "I see, it seems that I have underestimated you. The world has nurtured countless creatures, and has also surprised the emergence of one after another. You can do this on your own."
, it is indeed possible.”&1t;/p>
"It is precisely because of this generation of creatures that the world is filled with infinite unknowns and possibilities. At that time, Emperor Luo Yun would not hesitate to give up life and death and fight to the death against the immortals in the ancient court."&1t;/p>
"It is precisely because he knows that after his death, a new emperor will appear to hold up the sky for him and protect the people of the world."&1t;/p>
"Because of the expectations in Emperor Luo Yun's heart, countless strong men will rush to heaven and ignite the fire of the world..."&1t;/p>
The old man was a little excited. It was the first time in hundreds of thousands of years that he had such emotions.&1t;/p>
"I have underestimated your talent, but you have no one behind you, and you want to be my disciple. Do you know how many people have tried to kill you before?"&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng shook his head, he only knew one. How could he know if he was not present?&1t;/p>
The old man said: "There are six people in total who have taken action, and two of them are Tianjizi..."&1t;/p>
Tianjizi, Tianji Sect. Chu Cheng’s heart was shocked!&1t;/p>
He is the Thirteenth Son of Tianji, and it is certain that there are twelve more Tianjizi above him. But he did not expect those few to be so powerful.&1t;/p>
Chu Cheng suddenly remembered what the red-nosed old man said that day. If he didn't follow him for three days, he would definitely die in the future battle for the secret sequence.&1t;/p>
"There are currently thirteen disciples in the Tianji Sect. I think you are thirteen in number. You are the weakest among the many Tianji disciples. Even if you are now the ultimate golden elixir, if you meet the twelve disciples of Tianji, you will still die without a doubt!"&1t;/p>
"Worship me as your master and bow three times as a master. I will create karma between you and me. I really want to see the future and be able to surpass me and embark on the true imperial path. With your qualifications, you can be among the top five in this world. You should inherit my path.
.”&1t;/p>
The old man spoke and then kept silent. He kept looking at Chu Cheng, waiting for a reply.&1t;/p>
Ding Ye and Ouyang Zi were also waiting for his answer at this moment. They believed that Chu Cheng would definitely agree to become his disciple.&1t;/p>
However, Chu Cheng's reply stunned the two of them.&1t;/p>
