Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 87: Crying Tragically

He ran all the way into the Andingfang market and headed towards the sect's entrance along the Anding Bridge.

The two disciples who were guarding the entrance were already familiar with him. Seeing him rushing over in such a sorry state, they quickly came forward to support him.

"Senior Brother Chu, what happened? Why are you in such a sorry state?" the disciple on the left asked.

They all knew that Chu Ming was now a favored disciple of the outer sect elder, someone they used to be able to ignore, but now they had to show him the respect he deserved.

Chu Ming gasped for breath and waved his hand, saying, "Damn it... I almost died just now."

"Hurry, I need to see Senior Uncle Wu."

The disciple on the right quickly took out a small white bottle from his waist and took out a Low Grade Essence Restoring Pill.

"Senior Brother, you're injured. I don't have any good pills here, so please make do with this for now."

Chu Ming reluctantly smiled and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother. Take these spirit stones."

He put his hand into his storage bag and took out more than ten spirit stones, handing them over to the other disciple.

The disciple tried to refuse, but in the end, he accepted them, feeling quite pleased.

The disciple on the left looked a bit envious. He realized he had reacted too slowly, otherwise he could have earned those spirit stones for himself.

He considerately asked, "Senior Brother, is it serious? Should I accompany you to see Senior Uncle Wu?"

Chu Ming shook his head and said, "No need. After taking the pill, my injuries have improved a lot."

"You two continue to guard here. I'll go alone."

Without even returning home, he ran all the way to the council hall.

At this moment, Wu Changqing and the others were chatting. Chu Ming rushed in, shouting, "Senior Uncle, Senior Uncle!"

Wu Changqing and the others were surprised to see Chu Ming come back.

Especially Wu Changqing, he hadn't expected Chu Ming to return.

"Chu Ming, you're back?"

"Did an inner sect disciple save you?"

A young disciple stepped forward to support Chu Ming. Chu Ming waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, then walked forward and said, "Senior Uncle, do you know what happened just now?"

"I wasn't saved by a disciple from the Punishment Hall. I escaped on my own."

At this moment, there were also disciples from the inner sect's Punishment Hall present, including Sun Hai from that day.

He quickly asked, "How did you escape? Tell me in detail."

Chu Ming sighed and said, "When I woke up after being knocked out, I found myself in a cave and didn't see anyone else."

"One of Zhou Junyi's subordinates was guarding the entrance of the cave."

"Fortunately, he only had a cultivation base of the eighth level of Qi Refining. I took advantage of his carelessness and killed him with a sneak attack."

"I took his storage bag, which contained a teleportation talisman. Without thinking, I used it immediately."

"After teleporting to an unfamiliar place, I determined the direction and ran all the way back to the sect."

Sun Hai pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is the location of the cave?"

Chu Ming shook his head and said, "At that time, I didn't carefully observe the surroundings. After grabbing the storage bag, I immediately used the teleportation talisman to escape."

"It's probably near the Yanyu Valley. The location I teleported to wasn't far from there."

Sun Hai nodded and then asked for a detailed account of what happened.

Chu Ming had already fabricated a story and detailed everything he had seen before he "lost consciousness."

He also described some of Zhou Junyi's moves and the appearances of his subordinates.

Sun Hai nodded and then went out to prepare to report to his superiors.

Wu Changqing walked over and asked with concern, "Chu Ming nephew, are you seriously injured?"

Chu Ming waved his hand and said, "Although I suffered some humiliation, fortunately, I didn't sustain any serious injuries."

"If it weren't for my good luck, I'm afraid I would have already died."

"I really didn't expect this trial to be so dangerous."

In the last sentence, there is a hint of complaint.

Wu Changqing patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine. This time it's all Senior Brother's fault. If I had known it was so dangerous, I wouldn't have arranged for you to go together."

"Have you taken any elixirs for your injuries? Although it doesn't seem to be healing quickly, take this bottle of High Grade Essence Restoring Pill and consume it."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of elixir and handed it to Chu Ming.

Chu Ming declined at first, but eventually accepted the elixir.

Wu Changqing looked at his waist and asked, "Was your storage bag taken away before?"

Chu Ming nodded, "It was gone when I woke up. I'm sure Zhou Junyi and his gang took it."

"My snake-skin bag may not be worth much spiritual stones, but there were over four thousand spiritual stones inside, as well as many elixirs and talismans. Now it's all gone."

"They only took the storage bag of that bald knife cultivator, which was full of junk and worth only two or three hundred spiritual stones."

As he spoke, he wore a bitter expression, a look of complaint.

Wu Changqing lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Chu Ming didn't know whether to consider himself lucky or unlucky.

On his first trial outside, he encountered such a great danger, which was quite unfortunate.

But he managed to escape from the jaws of death and make it back safely.

Even Wang Ming lost a hand, but he only suffered minor injuries.

Looking at it this way, his luck couldn't be considered bad. It could even be said that he was destined to survive.

After some thought, Wu Changqing still believed that Chu Ming was a person with great luck, and this escape from danger was the best proof.

However, he decided that Chu Ming was not suitable for venturing out and should focus on cultivating in a safe place.

He decided to befriend Chu Ming and took out a storage ring, handing it to Chu Ming.

"Well, it's all Senior Brother's fault for forcing you to participate in the trial. I didn't expect such a big mess to happen."

"As long as you're safe, Senior Uncle can compensate you for the lost spiritual stones and elixirs."

"Here, take this storage ring. It's a Law Weapon worth two thousand spiritual stones, much better than your snake-skin bag."

"There are also five thousand spiritual stones inside. You can use them to buy more elixirs and talismans for yourself."

"If you ever run out of spiritual stones, just come to Senior Brother for help, no need to hold back."

Chu Ming declined for a while, as this was a considerable amount of spiritual stones even for an outer sect elder.

But Wu Changqing insisted, and in the end, Chu Ming stopped refusing.

He felt secretly happy, crying a bit, and ended up earning seven thousand spiritual stones.

Chu Ming sighed, "Senior Brother, from now on, I'd rather focus on cultivating at home. Please don't arrange any more trials for me."

"After this dangerous experience, I don't want to go through it again."

Wu Changqing smiled and patted his shoulder, "Well, focus on your cultivation. This experience has also helped you grow."

"To be able to survive in such a crisis and kill a Qi Refining eighth level cultivator across the border."

"It's not just luck, your strength is undeniable."

"You haven't eaten yet, I'll have someone prepare a meal for you to calm your nerves."

"After eating, some disciples from the Punishment Hall may come to inquire again, but then everything should be fine."

Chu Ming nodded and agreed.

After dinner, Sun Hai brought two disciples from the Punishment Hall to question him again.

Upon learning about his grudge with Zhou Junyi, Sun Hai and the others didn't suspect any collusion between Chu Ming and Zhou Junyi.

After a brief inquiry about the details, they let him go.

They just reminded him not to say that Wang Ming fled in the face of danger.

Instead, he should say that Wang Ming remained fearless in the face of danger, made a decisive choice, and chose to return to the sect for reinforcements.

Chu Ming felt disdainful in his heart, but he still smiled and agreed.

It's the fourth update today, and my mind is a bit fuzzy due to recent exhaustion. Let's stick to four updates for now.
