One year later, Tianzhu Mountain, the secret mansion of the Zhao family.
Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged under the peach tree, looking at the clouds and mist flowing around the illusory array with scattered eyes, his thoughts racing in his heart.
After solving the trouble in Jinfu Pavilion, it has been four months since he returned to the Secret Mansion, and three months have passed since Zhao Xuanjing went into seclusion to build the foundation.
It has been such a long time, but Zhao Xuanjing still hasn't passed the test, which makes Zhao Sheng feel a little anxious.
However, the troubles in his heart were not limited to this matter.
After watching the changing clouds and mist for a while, Zhao Sheng sighed, and with a thought, he called up the personal data panel:
Name: Zhao Chonghe (Zhao Sheng)
longevity:83/196
Realm: 3rd floor of foundation building
Occupation: Second-level Talisman Master
Physique: Four spiritual roots (yellow level), primary self-healing (ordinary level)
Talents: Smell (yellow level), Bullet Time (yellow level), Rock Hand (ordinary level),
【Skill】
Skills: Xuanyuan Heavy Water Technique (small success), Blood Refining Body Training Technique (Dacheng), Blood Melting God Refining Technique (proficient), Talisman Stacking Technique (proficient, twenty-six stacks)
Spells: God-killing Sword (small success), Thousand Silk Sword Rain (high success), Water Dragon Song (high success), Water and Thunder Technique (high success), Ice Waterfall (high success)...
Zhao Sheng did not pay attention to the fact that he had broken through the third level of foundation building, but focused on the number 196.
Just half a year ago, this number was still 197, but now it has quietly become 196.
Two days ago, when Zhao Sheng suddenly discovered that his life span had suddenly been reduced by one year, he was horrified.
At first, he couldn't figure out what caused it.
But on the same day, when he was habitually running the exercises to condense his essence and blood, Zhao Sheng suddenly realized what he was doing.
There is a problem with "Blood Refining and Body Building Technique"!
To be precise, the "Blood Soul Sutra" has great hidden dangers.
All immortal cultivators who practice this technique will advance rapidly, but at the cost of consuming their own lifespan.
Exchange longevity for improvement in cultivation!
"Blood Soul Sutra" is simply a typical magic method.
The key is that the consequences of losing life span are too hidden.
If Zhao Sheng hadn't been carrying the most precious book of all ages, he might not have been able to detect this hidden danger until his death.
Even though he was like this, the others were completely kept in the dark.
Patriarch Guiyuan’s move is too insidious and vicious!
Thinking of the 60,000 to 70,000 disciples of the Guiyuan Sect, I thought that the "Blood Refining and Body Training Technique" was not only spread in Dongtian City, but also spread widely in the world of immortal cultivation in Central Continent.
Zhao Sheng was horrified!
"The immortality of soul blood is called mysterious blood, the source of mysterious blood, it is called essence and spirit, it lasts forever and is inexhaustible."
Under the peach tree, Zhao Sheng recited the general outline of the "Blood Soul Sutra" repeatedly, and waves of turmoil arose in his heart.
He still hasn't figured it out yet, what is the ultimate purpose of Patriarch Guiyuan in spreading the "Blood Soul Sutra"?
Patriarch Guiyuan could not do this in order to quickly increase the overall strength of Guiyuan Sect.
If it was just for this reason, he would not be able to let the "Blood Refining and Body Training Technique" spread everywhere.
"The bustle in the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit." Zhao Sheng murmured to himself:
"Then...what's the 'profit' for which Patriarch Guiyuan did this?
Where are the ‘interests’ of the ten major sects?”
Zhao Sheng would not underestimate anyone. He did not believe that the ten major sects knew nothing about the weirdness of Gui Yuan Ancestor, nor did he believe that those Yuan Ying Ancestors could not discover the strangeness of the "Blood Soul Sutra".
However, the strange thing is that they remained indifferent and stood by.
Zhao Sheng couldn't figure it out. Maybe in this life, he wouldn't be able to know the hidden truth.
Because his status is too low and he is too far away from the top circle of the immortal world in Central Continent.
…
Three days later, under the peach tree, Zhao Sheng crossed his legs and closed his eyes. His face was as red as blood, the blood in his body was rushing like waves, and there was a faint whistling in his body.
Bang bang bang!
The heart contracted and expanded violently, and the blood in the atrium gathered into a whirlpool. A drop of blood essence gradually formed under the whirlpool, and quickly condensed out.
Zhao Sheng watched the birth of this drop of essence and blood in his inner vision state, feeling neither sad nor happy.
In a flash of thought, this drop of blood essence suddenly exploded into a ball of blood mist, and instantly turned into a streak of blood light.
The bloody light ignored the obstacles of the physical body and rushed into Zhao Shengzi's mansion in an instant, shot into the sea of souls and disappeared.
The next moment, Zhao Sheng felt that his spiritual consciousness had naturally increased a little, and the range of his spiritual consciousness had also expanded by an inch.
After a while, the blush on Zhao Sheng's face dissipated, and he opened his eyes, a look of satisfaction flashed across his eyes.
So what if practicing the "Blood Soul Sutra" will deplete one's lifespan?
At this time, Zhao Sheng had already figured it out. As long as his cultivation level could be improved quickly, he didn't need to pay attention to this hidden danger at all.
Zhao Sheng stood up from the ground,
At this moment, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he appeared at the entrance of the cave in a flash.
boom!
As the stone walls in the cave suddenly fell back to the ground, Zhao Xuanjing strode out of it.
"Uncle Qi, I succeeded!"
Looking at Zhao Xuanjing who had regained his youthful appearance, Zhao Sheng was very happy, "Okay! Xuanjing, you are worthy of being my Qilin son of the Zhao family, and you really did not disappoint me!"
This time, Zhao Xuanjing was not as humble as before, but accepted Zhao Sheng's praise with great confidence.
Being promoted to Foundation Establishment at the age of less than fifty, Zhao Xuanjing knew that he had a chance to attack the golden elixir.
He is well-deserved to be called the Qilin son of the Zhao family.
…
Two months later, Zhao Xuanjing said goodbye to Zhao Sheng and left the Zhao family's secret mansion.
According to the plan, he would first go back to Taiwu Mountain and then start traveling around.
This is a journey of experience, the time is unknown, maybe a few years, maybe a few decades.
When he feels that he has had enough experience, he will return to the Zhao Family Secret Mansion.
When Zhao Xuanjing traveled around the world to sharpen his Taoist mind, Zhao Sheng did not return to Guiyuan Sect, but chose to "live in seclusion" in Dongtian City.
Time flies, time flies
As time goes by, Zhao Sheng's cultivation level is also steadily improving.
Build four floors of foundation,
Five levels of foundation building,
…
When Zhao Sheng successfully broke through to the sixth level of foundation building, a full thirty years had passed.
In the past thirty years, while Zhao Sheng was practicing hard, he had been watching the development of Guiyuan Sect with cold eyes.
But unlike what he expected, the hidden dangers of the "Blood Soul Sutra" were not noticed by anyone. Maybe someone had already discovered it, but was suppressed by the Guiyuan ancestor or unknown forces.
In the past thirty years, the Guiyuan Sect has developed at a rapid pace, with more than 100,000 Qi-refining disciples in the sect, foundation-building monks have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and there are even three more Jindan Masters.
Because Zhao Sheng was too low-key, his status in Guiyuan Sect dropped again and again.
When there were more than a hundred foundation-building monks in the Guiyuan Sect, he had become so low-key that he was almost ignored.
Of course, this situation is something Zhao Sheng is very willing to see.
