Pagoda Immortality

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

That day, Yang Xu took ten Awakening Pills, but there was still no reaction.

At night, Lu Li asked Yang Xu to rest in his cave. He himself was outside to comprehend the water forbidden technique in the Five Elements Forbidden Judgment, trying to condense the water element Tao Seed.

Because among the five elements, there is a saying that gold produces water.

And he had already comprehended the gold forbidden technique before, so he must be able to save some time this time.

However, it is obviously impossible to gain something overnight. Until the early morning of the next day, Lu Li did not make any progress.

But at this time, the stone door of the cave opened.

Yesterday's failure did not dispel Yang Xu's idea of ​​continuing to swallow. He came out and talked with Lu Li for a few words, then sat at the table and continued to eat the Awakening Pill.

Lu Li's requirement was to eat at least one pill every half an hour, and at most ten pills in a full day. During the waiting process, Yang Xu either quietly looked at Lu Li who was sitting cross-legged in the distance, or lay on the table to take a rest.

In this way, seven days passed quickly.

She had taken more than eighty Awakening Pills intermittently, but the miracle still did not happen. Yang Xu's original expectation gradually extinguished.

On this day, after she came out, she looked at the only three medicine bottles left on the table, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not choose to continue swallowing.

Looking at Lu Li who was still sitting cross-legged in the distance, she opened her mouth, but did not make any sound, and then sat quietly at the table without saying a word.

After a long time, Lu Li slowly opened his eyes: "Why, have you given up?"

Yang Xu nodded bitterly: "It's because I am too stubborn. I don't have spiritual roots. Even if I eat more, it's impossible to produce spiritual roots out of thin air. Can the senior give me the remaining two bottles of Awakening Pills? I want to take them back to the village and give them to other children in the village in the future..."

"Of course, this thing is useless to me, just take it." Lu Li did not refuse.

"Thank you for your generous gift. Although I left a letter when I left, I am afraid my parents are very anxious after not returning for a long time. I will not disturb you anymore. I will take my leave." Yang Xu carefully held the two jade bottles in his hands and bowed respectfully.

"Okay, go." Lu Li did not stand up.

Yang Xu said nothing more, bowed and walked towards the jungle. However, after walking a few steps, she turned back and asked, "Senior, I want to ask, without spiritual roots, can you really not cultivate immortality?"

Lu Li frowned and wanted to say yes, but seeing the other party's hopeful expression, Lu Li finally changed his words: "The road is made by people. We are all walking on the road that our predecessors have walked, but there may not be a small road covered with weeds that no one cares about."

"So, when you find the small road that does not require spiritual roots to cultivate immortality, or when you walk out of such a small road yourself, you may not have no chance to see the dawn."

Yang Xu suddenly smiled: "I understand, thank you for your guidance."

Then, without looking back, he walked into the bushy jungle.

Lu Li sighed secretly and continued to close his eyes to comprehend. He has been here for a long time. At present, the gold-type Dao seeds have reached the initial bottleneck and cannot be broken through for the time being.

He is going to condense the water-type Dao seeds, and then leave here to find another opportunity.

This trip to the island was unintentional, but I never expected to meet such two interesting people, and I also got a water-attributed innate treasure, which was worth the trip.

The people of Miaojia Village started looking for Yang Xu half a month after he left home, and it has been four or five months so far.

Everyone thought that Yang Xu had been killed by wild beasts, so now except for some hunting teams who would pay attention to Yang Xu's news, others no longer searched for Yang Xu all over the mountains.

Yang Xu's parents are just ordinary mortals. They haven't slept well for several months. Due to excessive grief, they look as haggard as those in their sixties and seventies at the age of forty or fifty.

And Miao Daren, because of his guilt and uneasiness, followed the large group to Dongshan to look for him. Now everyone else has returned, but he is looking further and further away, and has not returned yet, which makes the village chief Miao Fu very worried.

Yang Xu's parents originally had some complaints about Miao Daren, but seeing that Miao Daren has not returned for so long, they are a little worried about Miao Daren.

"Hey! Girl, you..."

On this day, Miao Fu finally couldn't help it and prepared to go to Yunhe Peak, a hundred miles away in the north, to ask Lu Li to help find Miao Daren. Unexpectedly, he met Yang Xu not long after entering the mountain.

"Grandpa Village Chief."

When Yang Xu saw Miao Fu, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Girl, you are okay, that's great..." Miao Fu saw Yang Xu coming back intact, and couldn't help but look happy, and asked again: "Girl, where have you been these days, I really worried everyone to death."

"Yes, I'm sorry."

Yang Xu lowered her head: "I, I went out to chase a cheetah that day, and I didn't expect to fall into a sinkhole with it, so..."

She didn't want to blame Miao Daren for this, so she lied to prevent others from thinking that she left because of Miao Daren.

Although Miao Fu was skeptical, he didn't continue to investigate the matter. Then he took Yang Xu back to the village, gathered everyone together, and informed the whole village about Yang Xu's return to the village.

Of course, the happiest people were Yang Xu's parents. However, Yang Xu came back but lost Miao Daren, which made everyone speechless.

Fortunately, Miao Daren is a cultivator, and his abilities far exceed those of them, so the problem should not be too big. So they discussed to wait a few days and see, and if he still doesn't come back, they will go out to look for him again.

After hearing the news, Yang Xu's heart, which had originally calmed down, was immediately suspended again.

Fortunately, there was no accident this time.

Under the constant worry of Miao Fu and Miao Daren's mother, on the tenth day, Miao Daren, who had been searching in vain, finally came back by himself, and he was also ready to go to Yunhe Peak to ask Lu Li for help.

However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was noticed by "Goudan" who was waiting there, and he shouted and dragged Miao Daren to the village field.

On this day, the two people who were "lost" in the village finally came back, and everyone was greatly relieved. At night, a bonfire was lit on the field, and everyone celebrated together.

Amid the noise, Yang Xu took the initiative to pull Miao Daren, who looked unnatural, aside, explained his feelings, and said that he had thought it through, and would not bother Miao Daren again in the future, and let him practice with peace of mind.

Miao Daren finally felt relieved after hearing this, but it seemed that something was missing. He himself was not very clear what it was, perhaps it was regret.

But in the end, this ending was not bad. Yang Xu could get married after letting go of her worries, and he would also embark on the immortal road of no return.

Watching Miao Daren talking and laughing with everyone, Yang Xu sat on a dead tree with a woman of about the same age, silently.

"You really figured it out."

The woman next to him tilted her head and looked at Yang Xu, whispering.
