Du Ruo has been in seclusion for a long time this time. It has taken seven and a half years since the Yulong Sect Master Yuxuan held the Yuan Condensation Ceremony until now.
When she started to retreat, it was the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month when Wu Jie was seventy-nine years old. Now, Wu Jie is eighty-seven, and it is already the end of summer.
In these seven and a half years, a lot of things happened: Patriarch Zhang ascended to the throne, the Three Religions performed a great battle, and the Sky Patrol Divine Boat was repaired... Although Wu Jie was always busy, when he was not busy, he often visited Du Ruo.
Look at her condition and be concerned about whether her retreat is going well or not.
Du Ruo is a very lively person who likes to talk, laugh and make trouble. When she is around, Wu Jie doesn't feel it, but when she is not around, Wu Jie clearly feels a lack.
Especially when he was busy, sitting quietly by the window of the bamboo building in the middle of the night and looking at the sky, his heart was full of loneliness and sorrow, but there was no one to talk to.
If Du Ruo is not here, he is very lonely.
Of course Jasmine was very willing to chat with him, but he and Jasmine had too big differences in ideas and they often got into arguments while chatting. Du Xin didn't mind chatting with him, but chatting with this plain lady really required a lot of effort.
Although Wu Jie has little eloquence, he is clumsy in speaking. He ran out of things to say while chatting.
As for Yin Shuang... he forced himself not to think, not to recall, not to think about anything related to her. Because as long as he thought about it, he would feel like a big stone was pressing on his heart, so heavy that it was difficult to even breathe.
, let alone chatting or something.
Jasmine said that this had become his inner demon. If he could not ensure her safety, he would not be able to achieve the goal of repaying the elixir.
Perhaps... Old Man Tianyan is using this method to delay the time for him to become an elixir. It is best to delay it until the old ghost dies, then he can sit back and relax.
Wu Jie does not exclude this possibility, but he will not break into the outer world just because of concerns in his heart.
Only in Qingyang Temple can he truly protect Yin Shuang. If he breaks into Tianwaitian, whether he is trapped or killed, it will only bring greater trouble to her who is already in a bad situation.
The more difficult the situation, the more calm you have to be, because calm people are more likely to seize opportunities.
Whenever his heart was as hot and boiling as if on fire, Wu Jie would warn himself like this and force himself to calm down.
But it was getting harder and harder for him to calm down.
It has been seven and a half years since Yin Shuang broke off contact with him.
When he saw Du Ruo coming out of seclusion, he was first happy, and then he couldn't help but think of Yin Shuang.
At first, Yin Shuang was imprisoned by Old Man Tianyan and lost contact with him, and then he went to Yulong Sect. Du Ruo met Taoist Sanshan again, opened his heart and started to retreat, which happened in just two or three days.
In the blink of an eye, more than seven years have passed, and Du Ruo has been released from seclusion and has achieved great success. But there is still no news about Yin Shuang...
It can't be said that there is no news, at least he can basically confirm that Yin Shuang has not been turned into a god or demon.
This is good news, at least it's better than Yin Shuang actually being turned into a god and demon.
"Now...she should still be imprisoned..." Wu Jie often guessed like this, "My battle back then had fully shocked the old thief with the Sky Eye. At least for a long time, he would not dare to cause trouble to her.
of."
Tianyan is indeed a madman, but madmen are still rational. Wu Jie's methods are beyond imagination, so he has to be wary of one or two.
He is not afraid of death, but when faced with an angry banished immortal, he must consider the possibility of "not being able to die" or "being completely dead".
For example, after being sealed, a small red lotus karmic fire slowly burned on his body for a thousand or eight hundred years.
Another example is that someone was burned to the point of death by the thunder and fire of the Heavenly Tribulation, and there was no chance of reincarnation.
There are various possibilities that mortals cannot do, but banishing immortals may not be impossible.
Wu Jie has proven his ability with practical actions. Now he and Tianyan are in a state of fear. Neither of them is willing to completely fall out now, even though they have already fallen out.
Wu Jie has to wait until he has the ability to go to the outer world to welcome Yin Shuang back; Tianyan also has to wait until he is so old that he is about to die and has no other fun to pursue.
This is a terrible gamble, not only related to Yin Shuang's safety, but also related to the success or failure of Wu Jie and the life and death of Tianyan, but also related to the growth and decline of the good and evil religions. No one can lose, and no one can afford to lose.
Jasmine repeatedly promised Wu Jie that as long as he could achieve the Huan Dan, he would have the ability to go to the outer world alone and bring Yin Shuang back. Although she refused to say the reason, Wu Jie believed in her.
He didn't know how many times the Heavenly Eye had performed divination. According to the calculation of fate, as long as no accident happened and the demon sect was about to rise, he would definitely be able to die peacefully. But he knew that Wu Jie was an accident.
Countless times, Wu Jie looked up at the sky, melancholy and thoughtful, his brows furrowed.
But after all, there is no need to rush this matter of cultivation...
"Third Sister, how far have you reached in your cultivation after you have successfully emerged from seclusion this time?" Wu Jie put aside the worries in his heart and asked with a smile.
Du Ruo saw the sad look on his face just now and didn't understand what he was thinking. He sighed: "In front of me, why do you have to keep smiling? You are just unhappy. Sister, I have achieved a great success this time. In two days,
Let’s go to the outer world and bring our brothers and sisters back.”
Wu Jie was immediately shocked and his eyes widened: "Are you so powerful now?"
"Yes, I feel that my whole body is full of strength. Even if a big tiger comes, I can kill it with one fist." Du Ruo clenched his fist excitedly and waved it twice to show his strength.
Wu Jie suddenly became speechless, Jasmine burst into laughter, and Du Xin calmly pointed out Du Ruo's speech problem: "Killing a tiger with one punch is very weak."
"It's just an adjective. It's just an adjective."
"Understand, too little reading, not enough adjectives."
"Is it my fault that I don't study enough? I'm the daughter of a martial arts family. I don't need to take the top exam. Being able to write my own name is enough."
"I can only write my own name..."
"No, it's just an adjective."
Seeing their noisy appearance, Wu Jie couldn't help but laugh.
What is a good friend? A true good friend will first try to make you laugh when you are depressed. After laughing, it is not too late to think about other things.
In fact, Du Ruo herself doesn't know what state she is entering now. She only knows that she has broken through the bottleneck she has always had and has taken a big step forward. But at what height are she standing now? How to take the road ahead? But there are some
Confused.
Fortunately, there is an authority on cultivation in the World of Heavenly Book, Jasmine. She used several spells one after another to conduct an appraisal on Du Ruo, and finally came to a conclusion.
"Your current state is more like a spirit than a ghost..."
Seeing that everyone didn't understand, she explained: "Lings are special beings that naturally breed the essence of all things. Their origins are similar to demons, but they are much purer than demons, and their cultivation and growth are easier. If you introduce this in detail
, it would be a very thick book to write, so forget it. In short, you only need to know that she integrated the three paths of ghost cultivation and finally cultivated herself into a spirit."
Jasmine paused, thought for a while, and then said to Du Ruo: "You should be considered a ghost spirit now, and you can barely reach the golden elixir level; the next step should be to cultivate into a spirit god, which is equivalent to the heavenly and human level; and the next step is
True spirit, equivalent to the level of Yangshen
.To go from a ghost to a spiritual god, you need to continuously accumulate strength, condense your body, and finally pass the baptism of the Pure Yang Thunder Tribulation; from a spiritual god to a true spirit, you need to understand the principles of heaven and earth, achieve your own perfection, and finally achieve transcendence.
Immortality beyond time."
"Eh? You mean... I'm already a master of the golden elixir? And I can also cultivate to become an immortal immortal?" Du Ruo was overjoyed and couldn't believe his ears.
So Jasmine poured a basin of cold water on her: "The golden elixir is just the beginning of the road to the great road, it doesn't count. Besides, this is the worst golden elixir of yours. It's far worse than the wooden-faced one next to you. If we really fight, I'm afraid...
Not as good as now
Master, as for immortality, it is theoretically possible, but it does not mean that you can actually achieve it. Theoretically, I can break through the Yang Shen realm and step into the level of Dongxu Zhenjun, but it has been hundreds of millions of years, and the master has returned from the catastrophe.
Well, I haven’t made a breakthrough yet.”
Du Ruo shrank his head, but still smiled happily.
Based on her familiarity with Jasmine, it was obvious that Jasmine actually had a very high opinion of her. Jasmine, who was so arrogant, affirmed that she had not taken the wrong path after so many years of hard training.
"Let's talk about it first. I want to do some calculations and compare it with her experience to figure out how to effectively cultivate ghosts into ghosts... If it can be successful, it will be a lot more convenient in the future..."
As she spoke, Jasmine turned into a streak of black energy, flew into the newly built hut next to the spirit tree, and immersed herself in research. Wu Jie could see that she had gotten a pair of glasses from somewhere and was wearing them, sitting on a table filled with papers and pens.
In front of the table, sometimes I write and draw, sometimes I think hard, I am very focused.
Seeing that Jasmine was so busy, of course he wouldn't bother her, but there was another thing to do.
"Master Master, this is my sister Du Ruo." Wu Jie brought Du Ruo to Master Shaoguang. "She finally came out of seclusion recently. As agreed, I brought her to see you."
Master Shaoguang smiled and nodded, subconsciously scanning Du Ruo with his spiritual thoughts, and then the smile on his face froze.
"This..." He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to call him, so he simply ignored his last name and asked, "What is your current cultivation level?"
Before Wu Jie had time to answer, Du Ruo had already said with a smile: "Probably equivalent to the lowest level of Jin Dan Zhenren."
Master Shaoguang blinked blankly for a long time, and then couldn't help but tell Wu Jie: "She is really your sister in the world? Didn't she come down from above with you?"
"It's really not that my sister has always been diligent and practiced hard for decades before she was able to achieve something." Wu Jie answered sincerely.
After they left the Patriarch Hall to register Du Ruo as a guest, Master Shaoguang sighed and muttered: "I think I am quite diligent, why can't I achieve the Golden Elixir?"
Behind the main hall, the man in charge of guarding Chen Changbin also sighed: "I am also very diligent, and I have been diligent for hundreds of years..."
