"Oh, young man, you don't have martial ethics." Xiao Chen climbed up from the mud with his mouth full of mud, complaining endlessly.
Lu Chen fell from the sky and couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. After thinking for a long time, Brother Xiao turned out to be an old kid.
"Do you still want to fight?" Lu Chen said with a smile.
Old Man Xiao shook his head like a rattle: "No more beating, no more beating. If you continue to beat me, your bones will fall apart."
"Hey, you're getting older, and now it's your young people's world."
Lu Chen smiled calmly and said: "Then let's stop here."
"You win. The old man is old, otherwise I will have to fight you for three hundred rounds." Old Xiao said a little unconvinced.
Lu Chen laughed softly and said, "Brother Xiao, you are letting your guard down, otherwise, Lu will have to accept the defeat."
"Hmph, that's it." Old Xiao patted the dust on his body and hummed twice.
Lu Chen continued: "Brother Xiao, he has been at the level of Sword Immortal for hundreds of years, so he must have practiced the art of water walking."
"Well, that's of course. I have understood the way of soft water for many years and have understood many laws. If it weren't for my age, you young people would still have to bow your heads obediently." Xiao Chen raised his head and said with a pair of eyes.
Full of pride.
Lu Chen said in a flattering tone: "Awesome, awesome."
"I have been studying the Way of Soft Water for hundreds of years, and my cultivation is astonishingly deep. I already understood it when I was fighting with you just now. I am worthy of being a famous swordsman in Canglan Land."
Xiao Chen was a little curious and said: "By the way, you suddenly appeared in Canglan Land without knowing your origin. Who are you?"
"I come from overseas, seeking the elixir of life." Lu Chen said gently.
Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this sentence: "Overseas place, elixir of life?"
"Yes, have you ever heard of it?" Lu Chen said excitedly.
Xiao Chen stroked his beard and said: "Overseas, when I was young, I actually visited the Langye Islands in the far north."
"I'm not from there." Lu Chen shook his head.
Xiao Chen said with great interest: "Then where are you from?"
"I have been traveling around the islands for so many years and have been to many places. Among the many powerful sword immortals, I have never heard of your name."
Lu Chen pretended to be mysterious and said: "This is a secret, you will know it when you have the chance."
"You kid, you're still mysterious. What's there to hide?" Xiao Chen said with some displeasure.
Lu Chen did not discuss this topic, but asked: "Brother Xiao, have you ever heard of the elixir of life?"
"Elixir of life?" When Xiao Chen heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a long time before saying, "I have heard about this before."
"It is said that hundreds of years ago, a guy named Xu Fu came to the land of Canglan with five hundred boys and girls from overseas."
"Hunting immortal fire phoenixes in Qishan to obtain essence and blood, then recruiting troops, surrounding the mountain and building a city, establishing a transcendent force, and then disappeared without a trace, attracting the attention of the world's powers."
"I heard that what they did was to seek immortality and spend countless efforts to refine an elixir that can make people immortal."
"After Xu Fu passed away, the elixir of life was buried with Xu Fu in the mausoleum without a trace."
"If you want to get this elixir of life, you can go to Siyun Cliff in Qishan Mountain to explore."
When Lu Chen heard what Xiao Chen said, he sighed in his heart. What he said was no different from what Dugu Sword Immortal Ji Changge said.
It seems that Xu Fu refined the elixir of life in Qishan, and the elixir of life was in the mausoleum in Qishan.
And the guardian of the forbidden area has been stationed at the tomb for thousands of years, and the thing he protects must be the elixir of life.
"Hey, brother Lu, let me ask you something." Xiao Chen stared at Lu Chen's tall and handsome figure and said with great interest.
Lu Chen smiled calmly and said, "Brother Xiao, please tell me."
"You are young, you can be called a dragon or a phoenix among men, and you are a genius. Have you ever been married?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked very stunned. He smiled bitterly and said: "I have never been married, Brother Xiao, what do you have to say?"
"I don't dare to move after being taught. It's just that I have a great-granddaughter under my knees. That girl is as beautiful as a flower, and she is as graceful as a flower." Xiao Chen said with a smile, looking very wretched.
"If you marry her, it will be a perfect match. What do you think? Do you want to think about it?"
Lu Chen burst out laughing when he heard this: "Brother Xiao, let's forget about this."
"Although I have never been married, it is better to let nature take its course when it comes to love between men and women."
"For peak warriors like you and me, pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts is a lifelong pursuit."
"Unless, one day, there is someone you really fall in love with, you can consider it."
Xiao Chen said anxiously: "Look at what you said, you are so old and you still haven't asked for a wife. If your parents find her, they will definitely scold you for being an unworthy descendant."
"My parents have passed away a long time ago, and now I am alone. I can't force matters of love." Lu Chen said helplessly.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but grinned and said, "So your parents are gone, so that's just the right time. I'll take care of this for you."
"Brother, stop it, let's go to where I'm staying and rest for a while." Lu Chen couldn't stand Brother Xiao's matchmaking style, so he laughed quickly.
Xiao Chen asked: "Oh, where do you live?"
"It's not far away, I'll take you there." Lu Chen didn't say much, and directly floated into the sky, drifting towards the southwest.
"Hey, what are you doing so fast? Wait for me, brother." Seeing Lu Chen move so fast, Xiao Chen quickly rose into the air and turned into an afterimage that flew past.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the unknown mountain near Red Tiger City.
The two of them floated down from the sky, like immortals on earth.
Cheng Qingshan, who was practicing hard in the courtyard, was stunned when he saw this scene. His mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg in. His whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he was completely blinded.
God, what did he see?
In the sky, there were actually two people flying in the air and falling down in front of him.
Cheng Qingshan wiped his eyes carefully, his face full of disbelief.
Flying in the sky, what kind of method is this?
It is said that in order to achieve this step in the world, only the legendary swordsman has such powerful means. Could it be...
"They are... Sword Immortals?" Cheng Qingshan stammered, swallowing hard, looking at this scene in disbelief, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
As far as he knew, there were four sword immortals in the entire Canglan land, who were the four top experts in the world who were at the pinnacle of martial arts.
These people either hide in the mountains and forests, dominate one area, or disappear without a trace.
They are all legendary peak figures, each one more famous than the other and far-reaching. Ordinary people may not be able to meet them until they die of old age.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly saw two sword immortals appearing in front of him today.
Moreover, one of them had a long conversation with him yesterday, which made him wake up.
At this moment, Cheng Qingshan suddenly felt like he had been struck by great luck, and his heart jumped with excitement.
Xiao Chen and Lu Chen fell down at the same time and entered the ruined temple.
When he saw that Lu Chen's place of rest turned out to be a ruined temple, Xiao Chen immediately smacked his lips and said, "Oh my, brother Lu, your place is really shabby."
"The world is so big that there is no place where we are not at home. When we reach this level, we have no regard for worldly things." Lu Chen said with a smile.
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes fiercely: "Tsk, my brother's home is much more luxurious than this."
"It's just that there were too many descendants, chattering and making trouble, which was annoying. The old man couldn't stand the environment, so he ran out secretly."
Lu Chen smiled calmly and said: "If the mountain is not high, there will be immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons."
"What you and I pursue throughout our lives is the pinnacle of martial arts, why should we care about worldly opinions."
"Using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed, only by walking into the heaven and earth can we see through this world, right?"
Xiao Chen gave a thumbs up: "Well, you still have insight."
Then, he pointed at Cheng Qingshan in the courtyard and asked, "Hey, who is this little guy?"
"He is an ordinary warrior who was saved by chance." Lu Chen explained with a smile.
Xiao Chen suddenly said: "Oh, that's it."
When Cheng Qingshan saw the two sword immortals looking towards him, he immediately became excited, walked over quickly, and immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Junior Cheng Qingshan has met two senior sword immortals."
Lu Chen and Xiao Chen both flew in the air, so they were clearly seen by Cheng Qingshan. Seeing him be so respectful, they were not surprised at all.
"This little guy is quite sensible. When he saw us coming, he paid homage to us. It's a pity that I didn't bring any greeting gifts." Xiao Chen said with his hands behind his back in a very popular manner.
Seeing him like this, Lu Chen shook his head and laughed. This old man is really an old naughty boy.
"Okay, he is practicing here. If you are fine, you can give him a few tips. It will be of great use." Lu Chen said.
Xiao Chen snorted: "Huh, old man, I don't accept disciples casually, but there's no problem in giving him some tips."
"Haha, Brother Xiao, sometimes I really can't see through you." Lu Chen shook his head and laughed.
Xiao Chen said: "You know nothing."
"Please come in and have a cup of hot tea. Please forgive me for the humble accommodation." Lu Chen made an invitation gesture, and then the two of them walked into the ruined temple.
The teacup is made of wood, and the teapot was left behind by a previous hunter.
A pot of hot water will be boiled quickly.
Old Man Xiao held the tea cup and drank it, smiling brightly: "I'm living a good life in my childhood. I have a pure heart and few desires. No wonder my understanding of the laws of heaven and earth is so high."
"Brother Xiao, thank you for your praise. When I fought with you just now, I found that your understanding of the water movement is extremely profound. I'm afraid you have reached the state of perfection." Lu Chen said with a smile.
Brother Xiao sighed softly and said: "Brother, you don't know something. When I traveled around the world, what I realized was the way of water."
"But the way of water is the lowest level of the laws of heaven and earth."
"The further you go in cultivation, the slower your level of improvement becomes."
"By the time I found out, it was already too late."
Lu Chen frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Don't you even know this?" Xiao Chen explained slowly.
"The laws of heaven and earth are as vast as the sea, and there are high and low levels in them."
"Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, etc., are all part of the laws of heaven and earth."
"Each path contains various laws and mysteries, which are broad and profound."
"Of course this is just a low level."
"It will take a very long time to truly understand one of the laws, unless you have a very high talent for understanding the power of heaven and earth."
"The higher levels are not so careful and can be roughly divided into two types."
"A way of destruction, a way of immortality."
"The path of destruction includes many laws and paths such as wind, thunder, fire, and metal."
"The path to immortality includes many laws and paths such as earth, wood, water, etc."
"No matter what kind of path you practice, you need to fully understand several different laws and paths, and then integrate them perfectly, so that your realm will be qualitatively improved."
Lu Chen suddenly understood, nodded and said: "I see." He also asked Dugu Sword Immortal Ji Changge about his question about the understanding of the law. Although there were some differences between what Xiao Chen said, they were roughly the same.
Xiao Chen continued: "When I fought with you just now, I found that you understood the mysteries of many different laws."
"However, being complex is not as good as being specialized. You can only fully understand the secrets of one law first, and then understand the secrets of another law."
"Then integrating each other, that's the right way."
Lu Chen frowned: "Is that so? It seems that we have taken many detours before."
"I think I was just like you back then. I was too greedy and practiced many secrets of laws at the same time. In the end, I wasted a lot of time." Xiao Chen patted his thigh and said with regret on his face.
"Until now the deadline is approaching, I haven't broken through the last layer of membrane."
"As we get older, we have to admit defeat."
"Boy, you still have a lot of time, but don't follow the example of my elder brother and take the wrong detour." Xiao Chen said earnestly.
Lu Chen smiled calmly and said: "Everyone has a unique view on the power of heaven and earth."
"But Lu will bear in mind what I said."
Xiao Chen sighed: "That's it for now, everything is up to you."
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Brother Xiao has been in the realm of sword immortals for hundreds of years and has unique insights into the power of heaven and earth."
"If there's nothing important, you might as well stay here and we can discuss it."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he grinned and said, "That's natural. We are both sword immortals, so naturally we have many things in common."
"I have been traveling around the world for many years. I have been to countless places and thousands of mountains and rivers, and I have seen the prosperity of the world."
"A master is lonely and hard to find in a single battle."
"But you are not like Dugu Jianxian, who is indifferent to fame and wealth, is sophisticated and simple, and is very boring."
"The guardian of the forbidden area is too perverted to be defeated and not suitable for friendship."
"Helian Sword Immortal, this guy is ambitious and murderous. He is a madman and is not easy to communicate with."
"This friend of yours is free and generous, I'm determined to do it."
Lu Chen said with a helpless smile: "Brother, don't say that. Everyone has their own ambitions, so why force yourself?"
At this moment, Cheng Qingshan caught two roast chickens from outside and came back. He looked at the two great swordsmen with an embarrassed look and said with a reserved look: "You two, I caught two pheasants from outside and brought them back together. Let's cook them together."
How about quenching your thirst?"
"Hey, there are delicacies and game here. You are smart enough to know that I like this." Xiao Chen saw Cheng Qingshan catch two pheasants and brought them back, his eyes narrowed with laughter.
When Cheng Qingshan saw this, he felt excited and said: "You two, wait a moment, I will take care of it now, and there will be roast chicken soon."
After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the ruined temple to deal with the pheasants.
Lu Chen didn't say anything, just looked at this scene indifferently.
He knew very well what Cheng Qingshan meant by being so diligent, so he accepted it readily.
After all, Cheng Qingshan was just an ordinary warrior. He had just been expelled from his family and had his arm chopped off by a gangster. He was completely disheartened.
Now that I have no one to rely on, seeing the two sword immortals here, I am naturally very excited and eager to get some advice.
Night falls and the stars are shining.
The wind and snow outside stopped, and the mountains and forests were covered with white snow.
After Cheng Qingshan handled the two pheasants diligently, he quickly placed them on the fire to roast.
The two big shots Lu Chen and Xiao Chen had a great time eating roast chicken and cooking over a bonfire, talking about scriptures and Taoism, and the scene was very harmonious.
Cheng Qingshan couldn't say anything, he could only hold the heavy sword, practice hard in the courtyard of the ruined temple, and use the heavy sword sword skills over and over again.
However, for strong swordsmen like Lu Chen, his swordsmanship is subpar. It is not only full of flaws, but also has no power at all, and cannot catch their eyes at all.
Just like this, day by day passed.
More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Chen and Xiao Chen had been exchanging their thoughts on the power of heaven and earth in the ruined temple.
During these days of communication, Lu Chen learned that Xiao Chen was now over 400 years old and his end was approaching.
Fortunately, Brother Xiao has a free and easy nature and is used to seeing life and death, so he doesn't look gloomy and gloomy.
He laughs and laughs all day long, just like an old child. He seems to be a free and easy person by nature.
However, with in-depth communication with Brother Xiao, Lu Chen gradually became clear about understanding the laws of heaven and earth.
No longer blindly comprehend the power of heaven and earth as before. It should be noted that the power of heaven and earth is as vast as the sea, and not every path is feasible.
This feeling is like finding a pattern in a maze.
Constantly combine and verify the power of heaven and earth that I have perceived before, and constantly try to integrate it.
At this time, Lu Chen realized that the direction he had been walking was not wrong, but he had taken many detours.
All he needs now is to find the shortest and smoothest road to his destination among the many forks.
Of course, all this is thanks to the fact that senior Xiao Chen is here.
After all, ginger is still spicy.
You must know that he has been in the realm of sword immortals for hundreds of years. Although his overall strength is not as good as Lu Chen, his understanding and use of the power of heaven and earth are far superior to Lu Chen.
The reason why he did not make another breakthrough before the deadline was approaching was all due to his being too greedy and too messy when it came to understanding the power of heaven and earth.
Resulting in wasting a lot of time.
It can be said that Xiao Chen is now Lu Chen's leader.
Constantly correct his cultivation direction and patiently teach him how to use the power of heaven and earth.
Because of this, Lu Chen's use of the power of heaven and earth became more sophisticated.
