I rely on length to cultivate immortality
Chapter 174: Don’t exert too much strength, don’t talk too much
The spring eye of Yueluo Spring is on a stone slightly higher than the ground. The stone is hollowed out to accommodate the gushing spring water, forming a small pond.
The spring water in the pond only has a slight amount of spiritual energy, which also results in a higher concentration of spiritual energy around it than in the outside world, attracting many casual cultivators to practice here.
The houses built on Yueluo Oasis were basically built by rogue cultivators, and many rogue cultivators maintained the order here.
At this time, those surrounding Yueluo Spring are only a small part of the entire Yueluo Oasis.
If you keep waiting in line to get the new spring water, people will continue to come and jump in the queue, and you may have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
There are even many people around who are not queuing. They are practicing on the surface, but in fact they are waiting for the opportunity to challenge and jump in line.
Li Xiuchang and the others didn't plan to spend too much time here, so they could only challenge jumping in line.
Chen Changsheng had discussed with Li Xiuchang in advance that he would take part in the fights, so Li Xiuchang didn't say anything and just stared at Chen Changsheng with clear and stupid eyes to see what Chen Changsheng planned to do.
Chen Changsheng glanced at the crowd queuing up. The first two people in the queue were all Golden Core Stage monks.
Starting from the third one, there are monks in the foundation building stage, and several of them are in the late stage of foundation building.
The fourth one among them was the bald monk who had just greeted Li Xiuchang and the others.
Chen Changsheng did not immediately challenge him, but instead took Li Xiuchang to wander aside.
"The day after tomorrow, when the two golden elixir monks have finished collecting the spring water, we will challenge again." Chen Changsheng said his plan.
Li Xiuchang thought to himself, why go to such trouble? It's only two golden elixir stages. Let him go up and overturn it directly, and he can get the spring water and leave tomorrow.
Why waste two more days?
Chen Changsheng seemed to know what Li Xiuchang was thinking, and said with a faint smile: "Sometimes if you forbear properly, you may get unexpected rewards. Just now I noticed that a group of people were secretly observing us, and several late-stage foundation-building monks were within their observation range. Guess what they’re going to do?”
"Could it be murder to seize the treasure?" Li Xiuchang guessed.
"This possibility is not ruled out, but they neither pay attention to the two Golden Core monks nor the monks in the middle and early stages of foundation establishment. They only observe the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment. Therefore, it is unlikely that they will kill people and seize the treasure. It is more like It’s about finding someone to cooperate with.”
Li Xiuchang nodded, admiring Senior Brother Chen Changsheng's experience.
In fact, he had just noticed someone observing him, but he didn't pay much attention to it. It was normal for them to come in a flying boat with a high profile and attract attention.
He did not distinguish between "normal attention" and "extra attention" and screen out those groups that paid special attention to them.
In the next two days, Li Xiuchang followed Chen Changsheng to kill monsters in the desert near Yueluo Oasis, and did not return to Yueluo Spring until the evening the day after tomorrow.
At this time, the two golden elixir monks at the front had disappeared. They had obviously taken the spring water and left.
The person ranked first is not the original third person, but a new face that he has never seen before, who is at the peak of foundation building.
The bald man in fourth place only advanced to third place.
Obviously the current number one got in by jumping in line.
At this time, the person ranked first at the peak of Foundation Establishment was a short but very lean man. He exuded a fierce aura and was not someone to be trifled with at first glance.
With Chen Changsheng's previous reminder, Li Xiuchang began to observe carefully, and sure enough he found that with their arrival, many people were paying attention to senior brother Chen Changsheng.
Li Xiuchang himself didn't receive much attention. Maybe it was his cultivation in the early stages of foundation building, coupled with his overly immature face and eyes, that made people ignore him.
Li Xiuchang observed carefully and made new discoveries.
There are about five or six people who continue to pay attention to Senior Brother Chen Changsheng, and their cultivation levels are generally in the middle to late stages of Foundation Establishment. They are not only paying attention to Senior Brother Chen Changsheng, but also several other people around him who are in the later stages of Foundation Establishment.
However, the little monk who was ranked first was not within their observation range.
The same goes for the third bald monk.
This further confirmed Brother Chen Changsheng's judgment. Li Xiuchang asked himself that if he wanted to find someone to cooperate, he would not find a small monk who did not look like a good person at first sight.
But what happened to the bald monk?
Is it because it has a bad reputation here?
Li Xiuchang silently stepped aside, while Chen Changsheng stepped forward and challenged the little man in first place.
This move immediately attracted everyone's attention, and many people whispered, as if the little monk was very powerful.
It can be seen that among a group of monks who are in the late stage of foundation building or even at the peak of foundation building, the little man is firmly ranked first, with no one challenging him, which shows his strength.
The little monk sneered: "You want to challenge me?"
Chen Changsheng nodded calmly, cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist."
Seeing how polite Chen Changsheng was, the little man originally wanted to say something sarcastic but couldn't.
This made Li Xiuchang, who was watching, secretly remember it in his heart. These small details showed that Senior Brother Chen Changsheng was very knowledgeable.
Be polite at all times and don't hit the smiling person. This will silence some foul-mouthed people while also making you look classy.
"Then let me see what you have!" The little man snorted coldly, walked out of the team, and came to the open space aside.
Chen Changsheng immediately followed, and the two began to fight.
This fight was brilliant in the eyes of the people around them. The two were equally matched, and they were inseparable.
But in Li Xiuchang's eyes, it was too fake.
It made him yawn.
Chen Changsheng and the little monk fought back and forth, fighting fiercely for a long time, and finally won the victory with difficulty.
The little man didn't look bad when he lost, he just snorted: "You're awesome!"
Then he silently walked back to the front row of the team, but left an empty seat for Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng smiled and cupped his hands: "I accept."
Then he walked to the front of the team and stood in the first place.
Time passed, the moon rose and set, and a new sun appeared on the horizon, eclipsing the moon that had not completely set.
The rising of the sun seemed to urge the setting of the moon, and soon the last moon shadow disappeared from the horizon.
At this moment, clear spring water began to gush out of the Yueluo Spring.
Chen Changsheng flew forward, holding the jade bottle in his hand, and collected all the spring water into the bottle until there was no movement from the spring.
After a brief pause, the spring water began to gush out again. This time more spring water gushed out, but it was just ordinary spiritual spring water and did not have the effect of improving the soil.
Chen Changsheng collected the spring water, flew back to Li Xiuchang, and handed a bottle of spring water to Li Xiuchang.
"It's useless for me to ask for it, you can take it and hand in the task."
"Thank you, senior brother."
This scene was also seen by those who were observing secretly.
Li Xiuchang planned to stay there for a while, but Chen Changsheng pulled him and turned around to leave.
After leaving the Yueluo Spring, Chen Changsheng slowed down and said to Li Xiuchang: "You saw me fighting with that little monk just now. You must be wondering why I have to fight with him when I can win easily. So long.
"This is because if I show too much strength, the group of people who are secretly observing us may not dare to cooperate with us.
"The second is a matter of my own principles. When you go out to fight with others, you must not go all out and let others know your full strength. I always only use half of my strength, leaving 95% of my strength. This way, if something unexpected happens, there is still room to deal with it.”
No, do you want to leave so much extra energy?
Li Xiuchang blinked, but he still asked in disbelief: "Senior brother, have you really done half the job?"
Chen Changsheng coughed and said, "Don't talk too much when you are out. I always keep my words simple and only say half-truths, leaving 95% of the truth."
Li Xiuchang:......
Chen Changsheng deliberately slowed down his pace, and soon they heard a voice coming from behind: "Fellow Taoists, please stay."
Chen Changsheng turned around with a puzzled look on his face, and Li Xiuchang also turned around with a confused and innocent face, his eyes were clear as if he could see into his heart at a glance.
Chen Changsheng asked politely: "Do you have any advice, fellow Taoist?"
The person who stopped Li Xiuchang and the others was an old man in the late stage of foundation building.
"My name is Pu Hua. I have been observing fellow Taoist for several days. I have something to ask fellow Taoist for help."
Chen Changsheng looked wary: "Fellow Taoist Pu and I don't know each other. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Pu Hua looked around, then used his magic power to shield the left and right, and whispered: "I have been practicing in this Yueluo Oasis for half my life. I am very familiar with Yueluo Oasis and the surrounding desert sand sea. I accidentally happened upon it more than ten years ago. Found a ruin in the desert..."
As Pu Hua explained the cause of the matter, Li Xiuchang showed a longing expression on his face, as if he was a novice cultivator who was very excited when he heard about the ruins of the cave.
The thing is very simple. Pu Hua discovered the ruins of a cave in the desert more than ten years ago. He quietly explored it for many years and overcame the difficulties little by little, which was quite rewarding.
But when he explored the core area of the cave, he couldn't deal with the formations and traps inside, so he could only find a few helpers to explore together.
"In the core area of the cave, there is a broken fourth-level formation. I suspect that it was a cave left by a Nascent Soul Lord. However, although the fourth-level formation is broken, it is not something that I can crack. It requires six people. Only by joining forces with the above-mentioned late-stage foundation-building monks can we be confident of forcibly breaking the formation!"
When Chen Changsheng heard the words "Nascent Soul True Lord", he actually had no interest in this matter.
However, when he thought about this trip, he mainly wanted to teach Li Xiuchang some principles by words and deeds, so as to prevent him from being led astray by Zhang Wanzhi.
Then this trip to the ruins cave is very necessary and it is a good teaching opportunity.
Going out to practice means that you have to experience more things to get exercise.
But he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he frowned and said, "Your Excellency and I are strangers to each other. Even if you can trust me, I can't trust you. So let's forget about it."
Pu Hua opened his mouth to persuade, but Li Xiuchang on the side said eagerly: "Senior Brother Chen, how about we go and have a look?"
Chen Changsheng looked embarrassed, shook his head and said: "Holy Son, the risk of this matter is too great. For your safety, I can't take the risk. Otherwise, how can I explain to the sect master after I return?"
