Mortal's journey to immortality

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Wang Lu stood by the stream next to the pine forest, looking at the slowly flowing stream, and a young and energetic figure was reflected in it.

It had been five years, but the master still hadn't come back, and there was no news. He couldn't help but feel worried.

Over the past five years, Wang Lu has been practicing day and night, and his cultivation has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is the late stage of Qi Refining.

After practicing, I used the talisman-making materials left by my master to draw a large number of talisman seals. Now the storage bag is empty except for the spiritual talismans.

I don't know if he has genuine talent for talismans or because of a large number of continuous drawings, but his success rate of making talismans has reached 70%. This is quite rare in the world of immortality, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a genius.

With so many drawings, his spiritual consciousness is far superior to that of ordinary immortal cultivators of the same level. As for this situation, Wang Lu can only attribute it to the use of spiritual consciousness when drawing talismans.

These days, Wang Lu saw a blood escape talisman from the "Six Talisman Book".

Unfortunately, there is no relevant material for this talisman in the storage bag, so I can only suppress my thoughts that are about to take action.

There are relatively few such talismans in the "Six Talisman Book", and they are the sixth type of talisman.

During the period of Qi training, there were several kinds of talismans that also attracted his attention, including the beauty talisman, the body-extending talisman, the powerful diamond talisman, and the spirit-gathering talisman.

It was not that Wang Lu didn't want to go to Liubi Mountain to hunt for treasure. On the one hand, he thought that after he left, the master might return and miss him. On the other hand, Qiu Huaren repeatedly warned that at least in the later stages of Qi refining, he had some chance of saving his life, so he had to continue practicing while waiting for the return of his master.

Watching the sunset over the distant mountains, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire Liupi Mountain into a golden color.

The various flowers, plants and trees near the concave mountain shone brightly and vigorously under the influence of the autumn wind. He could not help but admire the magic and mystery of nature.

Return to the hall along the road, open the mechanism, and come to the cave.

Over the past five years, he visited the entire Aoshan courtyard and other stone chambers.

The room on the right side of the hall also has a wooden bed, a wooden table and several stone benches.

In addition to the stone chambers in the cave where I practice, where I put the ancestor's memorial tablet, and the small spiritual spring, the other three stone chambers are used by the master for practice, painting talismans, and planting a rare earth-wind apricot, which can barely be regarded as a medicine garden.

When he first saw this small tree, there were a dozen small green apricots hanging on the branches. He didn't know the name of the small tree.

By drawing the talisman, he saw the detailed description of the blood escape talisman. The talisman required for this talisman was indispensable because it contained a spiritual material called Fengxing. He looked at it for a long time and quickly ran to the stone room where Xiaoshu was. After passing a After some comparison, I suddenly realized that this small tree was the famous Difeng Apricot.

Wang Lu returned to the stone room, put aside all distracting thoughts, and started practicing diligently.

Since entering the late stage of Qi training, mana has slowly begun to penetrate into some unknown meridians and acupuncture points in the body, allowing him to accommodate more mana, but also making the cultivation speed slower than that of ordinary immortal cultivators with two spiritual roots. Thirty percent.

In fact, when the Six Talisman Sect was at its peak, only the leader of the "Six Talisman Secrets" and the "Six Talisman Book" were qualified to practice. The rest of the disciples, including the elders, were modified by the Six Talisman Patriarch on the basis of the "Six Talisman Secrets" Come.

Because when the Six Talisman Patriarch was practicing the "Six Talisman Techniques", he found that his cultivation speed was 30% slower than that of monks at the same level.

However, it is still far more than that, 40% in the foundation building stage, half in the golden elixir stage, and 60% in the Nascent Soul stage.

For the development of the sect, he secretly made a rule that only the leader is qualified to practice the "Six Talismans", otherwise it will affect the development and growth of the entire sect.

Since the Six Talisman Sect specializes in talismans and seal scripts, when the revised "Six Talisman Techniques" are handed down, it will have basically no impact on the entire sect.

Wang Lu didn't know that his cultivation speed was slower than that of other immortal cultivators. He still followed the cultivation arrows on the "Six Talismans" to perform the Great Zhou Tian step by step. However, as his cultivation level improved, he would cycle through the Great Zhou Tian. The time was much slower than before. He didn't care about it at all and didn't realize it. He just thought it was a normal phenomenon.

Soon, a month has passed.

One day, when he was thinking about a purely defensive thick earth talisman, Qiu Huaren came back.

"Disciple, come quickly and follow me as your master."

Qiu Huaren hurriedly interrupted Wang Lu who was deep in thought.

Wang Lu was overjoyed and happily followed his master out of the cave, passed through the hall of the wooden house, and came to the room on the right side of the hall.

Surprised, he never knew there was a layout on the right side of the hall.

I saw Qiu Huaren using the opposite technique to scratch back and forth on the stone wall. Soon, a stone door appeared. He pushed the stone door open and led Wang Lu in.

Behind the stone door, there is just a stone room that is three feet square and about ten feet high. There is a stone table inside. There is a storage bag on the stone table, a piece of material that is neither gold nor jade, and a monster bone.

"Master, what is this?"

Wang Lu asked.

"Disciple, don't talk. Don't ask anything now. Listen to my master. I don't have much time."

Qiu Huaren seemed to take a breath and said.

"My master told you that more than a hundred years ago, your master uncle was my junior brother. He had better qualifications than me. At that time, the master wanted to appoint me as the next head of the Six Talisman Sect. At that time, your master was already An expert in the Nascent Soul stage, our Six Talisman Sect has nearly a thousand disciples, and we can be considered the best among small sects."

"Our sect specializes in the development of talismans. We don't have many enemies, and we have many sects that we have good relations with. However, your uncle is so angry that he secretly opened the mountain protection formation and joined forces with our sect's archenemy, the Chenxue Sect, to lure the wolf into the house and attack from both inside and outside. , your master was besieged and died, and he died for the sect, and the entire Liufu Sect was washed away with blood."

"It wasn't until three years later that I successfully built the foundation for my master and returned to the ruined mountain gate. After inquiring from many sources, I found out that it was your uncle who had committed this heinous crime of deceiving my master and destroying our ancestors."

Then he continued: "Since then, your uncle rebelled into the Chenxue Sect and issued the Chenxue Order to arrest you as a master. As a master, you could only endure the humiliation and live in hiding. In the end, you had no choice but to spend a lot of money to take the Immortal Cultivation Grand. I sent the Four Beasts Sect’s Great Ship of the Sea of ​​Clouds to cross over thirty-five years and arrive at your Western Desert from Northern Xinjiang.”

"When your uncle destroyed our Six Talisman Sect, he never expected that the master had handed me the "Six Talisman Techniques" and the "Six Talisman Album". He only found the "Six Talismans" on your master's body. "In the Book". In the seventh year after our sect was destroyed, I sneaked back, followed the secret path my master told me, and obtained the sect's treasures."

Qiu Huaren said this, picked up the blue gourd on his waist, "Gulu, Gulu" took two sips of the spirit wine and continued: "Five years ago, I met you as my teacher, and I let go of this huge responsibility."

"Actually, I should watch you grow up, but there is always such a blood feud that I have to avenge. It tortures my heart while I am practicing. It almost makes me go crazy many times."

"My master didn't want to leave with hatred, so I took out the only two remaining Sky Breaking Talismans passed down from the Six Talisman Patriarch, and returned to Northern Xinjiang, only to find out that your uncle is already a master at the Golden Core stage."

"I inquired around and made complete preparations. I succeeded in a surprise attack. However, he escaped in the end, and I was seriously injured. Haha, but your uncle was not much better. I used the last Sky Breaking Talisman, I returned to Yucheng again, but I know the end has come."

When Qiu Huaren said this, his face turned red, he kept coughing, and he was out of breath.

Wang Lu supported his master and choked with sobs: "Master, please stop talking and take good care of yourself. You will definitely get better..."

"Disciple, listen to my master, there are one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones in the storage bag on the table for you to use for foundation building, and there are 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones for normal cultivation. That piece is neither gold nor gold. I don’t know the wooden thing and the animal bone. They were obtained from the Treasure Pavilion of our sect. These two things should be extraordinary. You must keep them well. Watching you grow into a handsome young man, watching You have reached the late stage of Qi refining. I am very happy to be my teacher. There is also the earth... earth... earth wind, wind... apricot... you... should... too... ...Know......"

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Huaren suddenly grabbed Wang Lu's hand tightly and never spoke again...

With a "wow" sound, Wang Lu hugged his master tightly and cried uncontrollably. He cried until he died and it hurt his heart.

Slowly, as if a long time had passed, the crying became smaller and smaller until it became silent...

After a long time, "Master, apprentice... son... knows... knows..."
