There are no years of practice, and there are no armors in the mountains.
Time is so long, it only takes a blink of an eye, and two years pass by.
In the longevity sect, spring flowers are blooming, and the east wind blows rain and wets the moss.
Chen Dengming listened to the patter of rain outside the cave, and watched with kindness as Xu Wei's spirit body floated out of the paper man, and flew into the soul room tiredly, his heart filled with sadness and helplessness.
Two years have passed, and he has become stronger and stronger as he practices, but Xu Wei's soul power has become weaker and weaker, and it seems that he is close to the edge of exhaustion.
As the saying goes, death is like a lamp going out. Xu Wei once committed suicide, but his soul was rescued by him in time, and the ghost lingered on. Even if the oil in the lamp was not exhausted, the light was still not extinguished.
However, life span also has its limit, and now Xu Wei has gradually reached the limit, and the lights will be extinguished.
Chen Dengming could only make mental preparations to see Xu Wei off.
Life and death have always been huge issues facing those who seek immortality.
Living people who want to prolong their lives are faced with many difficulties, even impossible, and ultimately they cannot escape the dirt.
For example, during the Immortality Conference in the past, those old antiques who were still alive, such as Shi Yiyin of the Miaoyin Sect, were trying their best to survive but could not achieve immortality.
A dead person turns into a soul. If you want to live a long time, it is even more difficult than reaching the sky.
"Immortal. Immortal. I alone am immortal, so it is hard to say that I am immortal.
It is difficult for the people around you to live forever, but it is also difficult for them to die."
Chen Dengming was quite emotional. He walked out of the cave with his hands behind his hands and looked at the sky, suddenly experiencing infinite vicissitudes of life.
Now he is ninety-five years old, almost an advanced age. Taking into account his past life experiences, he can actually look past many things and accept some consequences calmly.
At this time, a small black dot flew from the distant sky, gradually grew in size, and burst into the longevity sect with full of evil aura.
However, when some of the Changshou Sect's patrolling disciples saw it, not only would they not stop him, but they would stop and respectfully call out "Uncle Leopard Master", teaching the flying black leopard to be even more arrogant, with its head held high and its chest high, arrogant and proud.
Seeing the black leopard flying towards him with a proud look on his face, Chen Dengming had a smile on his face.
A gust of wind!
The sunlight was half covered, and the huge figure of the black clouded leopard appeared in front of Chen Dengming. It lowered its big head and crawled on the ground like a coquettish girl, making a melodious whine.
Probably only Chen Dengming understood this Black Panther quotation, and shook his head after hearing it.
"Heizi, if you want to stay with the longevity sect and enjoy the blessings, that's not impossible, but you have to make another trip and send me something over there."
"Ugh!?"
The black clouded leopard straightened up, raised its ears, and stared attentively with its two black jewel-like pupils, showing a look of attentive listening.
Become rich and powerful for a while and become a golden leopard.
It's just a round trip.
If you work hard, you can stay here in the Changshou Sect, where you can enjoy the beautiful mountains and water and feel at ease. You can drink the spiritual spring every day and spit it out, inhale the spiritual energy and then fart. You can also enjoy the large number of disciples calling Uncle Bao.
This day is not a hundred times better than that of the foundation-building monster hiding outside all day long for fear of being killed.
"take."
Chen Dengming made a secret, took out two bottles from the storage bag, and flew towards the Black Clouded Leopard.
The black clouded leopard opened its mouth, exhaled a breath of cloud breath, and put the two bottles into the cloud.
Chen Dengming said slowly, "There is a foundation-building pill in each of the medicine bottles. If you give these two medicine bottles to Heifeng and Jiang Qiang respectively, this mission will be considered completed."
"Woo!"
The black clouded leopard immediately agreed happily, stretched out the leopard's head, took a few sips of the spiritual spring water in front of the door, and immediately roared before setting off.
Chen Dengming raised his hand to stop him.
"There's no rush! Now that you're back, let's have a good meal before leaving. Your mistress went out to buy Lingzhi melons and fruits, so it's time to come back."
The black clouded leopard immediately stopped castrating and looked back happily. The leopard's eyes wandered to a melon field planted in the garden not far away.
Chen Dengming smiled and said, "The season has not come yet, it is not yet ripe, and it is very bitter. You have always been unwilling to endure hardship, so you can't get used to it."
The Black Clouded Leopard suddenly lost interest after hearing this.
Now two years have passed, Heifeng and Jiang Qiang have managed the southern border area in an orderly manner.
Whether it is Luojiashan, the gathering place, or Jinxiu Square in the past, they have all returned to the peaceful and prosperous state of more than ten years ago.
Even because a large number of monsters kept in captivity by the Lin family have been removed, the border environment has improved. In the past two years, fewer casual cultivators have died, the population has naturally become more prosperous, and the market has become more prosperous.
However, it was time to start testing Heifeng and Jiang Qiang.
After all, both of them are only in their Qi training period.
It is still very difficult to completely own two first-level spiritual vessels and manage such a large jurisdiction.
Fortunately, in the past two years, the black clouded leopard, a foundation-building monster, has been in charge, and the reputation of 'Nanshan Zong Zhuxun' has not been completely diluted. The two have been running smoothly, and this year they even paid a tribute of 200 yuan. When Pin Lingjing was in Chen Dengming's hands, he was already quite capable of making money.
However, the Black Clouded Leopard did not want to stay in that remote area.
This leopard is also enterprising and wants to stay in a place with good spiritual veins such as the longevity sect. In the future, he may form a pill and become a great demon.
Chen Dengming never thought that he would always rely on the Black Clouded Leopard to support the stage.
Things at the Wanli border will eventually fall on the shoulders of Jiang Qiang and Heifeng.
Heifeng is already a monk at the tenth level of qi training. After a little accumulation, he can take a foundation building pill to try to break through the foundation building.
With his qualifications as a high-grade spiritual root, and with good luck, maybe a Foundation Establishment Pill will succeed.
Jiang Qiang's qualifications are far behind. Now he has only broken through to the sixth level of Qi training, and is still far from foundation building.
But Chen Dengming will not ignore this old brother.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is not a strange thing to him now, even if it is eaten as a jelly bean, it will taste delicious.
I got four of them after redeeming them.
It's nothing to give two old brothers who have worked hard for themselves.
If Heifeng can break through and build the foundation, then Wanli Border's family business will be able to develop steadily in the next ten years.
More than ten years later, he had his own means to hold on to the family business, and he did it with little effort.
The black clouded leopard flew away after being full of wine and food.
Chen Dengming also began to change into robes in the cave under the service of He Yingyu.
Two years of cultivation life were spent comfortably.
Now it's time for him to fulfill his duties.
He Yingyu's arrangement for performing her duties was to be in a nearby cultivating family, so the two of them acted separately.
"I have inquired, and there is not much news about you on the battlefield now. Although your name is still on the must-kill list of the demon cultivator camp, it is already very low. You should be careful when you go out to perform a mission this time. You should I can handle it.”
He Yingyu explained carefully while tying Chen Dengming's buttons one by one.
Chen Dengming smiled and grabbed a letter from He Yingyu and said, "You have asked about this news several times, and I am tired of hearing it.
Don't worry, if there is real danger, I must put safety first. Our longevity sect's mission has always been to keep safety first. "
He Yingyu rolled her eyes, patted Chen Dengming's dishonest hand, and said, "Isn't it just because I'm worried that I keep asking.
You also know that half a year ago, Qiao Zhaoxian was sniped by the late-stage Jindan monks of the Mocha Kingdom. If he had not been a candidate for Taoism and the Tiandao Sect had given him the Tiandao brand, I am afraid that the legend of Qiao Zhaoxian being able to escape would have come to an end. .
I'm worried about you."
At the end of the story, He Yingyu's eyes turned slightly red, she was really worried.
"Hey, don't cry. I'm telling you, sometimes we practice together. I'm so strong, but you don't cry and just endure it.
This hasn't even happened yet and you can't help but cry? "
"Hate!"
He Yingyu laughed through tears and scolded, "You are becoming more and more dishonest! I thought you were quite honest at first."
"I wasn't honest back then. If I were honest, just like Senior Brother Guan, you probably wouldn't even look at me."
The two were tender for a moment, but Chen Dengming stopped staying.
Putting on a dark blue third-level low-level magic robe and a wooden robe, Yu Heyingyu saw each other off with her eyes at the door and left.
This time he got the news and went to the Longevity Hall to understand the mission first, then chose to perform the mission, and then executed it.
This can not only ensure the freedom of the task, but also ensure the confidentiality. The sect's protection and attention to him is still very high.
Chen Dengming suspected that maybe it was the attack on Qiao Zhaoxian half a year ago that shocked the sects in the Eastern Region and made the sects pay more attention to his safety. It was only after two years that they were ready to send him out to perform his duties.
Otherwise, according to common sense, he should have gone out to perform duties a year or six months ago.
Two years have passed now.
His Changchun Kung Fu has broken through to the tenth level, and his elixir power has increased by 50% compared to before.
He has also mastered the art of gold control and puppetry, and his lifespan has been increased to 874 years.
The lifespan that was lost in the previous battle with the Blazing Blood Demon has now been almost recovered.
His strength is now stronger than two years ago.
As long as you don't waste time after going out, you can still safely complete the task and return.
…
soon.
He flew to the longevity hall of longevity peak.
Only then did he realize that there were two familiar figures standing at the entrance of the palace.
Seeing one of the figures, Chen Dengming couldn't help but shout out happily.
"Master Qiu!"
"Um?"
The figure turned around, with a thin face, a short chin and beard, a tall and thin body like a steel bar, and piercing eyes. He smiled after seeing Chen Denming.
"Master Nephew Chen! Long time no see!"
"Haha, Master Qiu, it has indeed been a long time since I last saw you. I have been practicing hard in seclusion for the past two years. I have never left the sect, nor have I gone back to the Changchun sect to visit. Don't be offended!"
"how come?"
Qiu Feng smiled and said, "You caused such a big disturbance two years ago, and the entire demon cultivator camp was in a rage because of you.
We, the Changchun Sect of the Longevity Sect, are all proud of you. It is also a good thing that you have chosen to lie low and dormant for the past two years. If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it. "
When the two of them said this, they thought of Qiao Zhaoxian at the same time.
"Haha, you two uncles and nephews meet again. There is so much to talk about, but let's focus on the sect's mission first! Brother Qiu Dao, what do you think?"
At this time, hearty laughter came from the side.
Realizing the neglect, Chen Dengming immediately turned around, bowed and saluted, "Uncle Zhu!"
The person who spoke was none other than Zhu Guangbiao. He waved his hand and said generously, "Okay, you don't need to be so polite to me, an old acquaintance. Come on, let's all go in."
Chen Dengming nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, Qiu Feng chuckled and shook his head, then walked into the Longevity Hall with his hands behind his back.
He was once the more senior member of the longevity sect, and he was considered the same senior as the sect leader Xing Huiguang. Zhu Guangbiao was only his junior brother. His strength in the late Jindan period was naturally respected wherever he went.
However, Zhu Guangbiao was so bold and polite to Chen Dengming. This was obviously because of Chen Dengming's ability to kill the golden elixir. Otherwise, he would not be like this. This made Qiu Feng feel quite embarrassed.
After the two groups entered the hall, Xing Huiguang, the leader of the longevity sect, and Guan Chao, another Jindan Daxiu who was in charge of the matter, also appeared.
In the end, Xing Huiguang, Qiu Feng and others discussed in the main hall.
Chen Dengming followed Guan Chao to the side hall and chose to perform his duties.
"Master Nephew Chen, you also know that you are now on the must-kill list in the demon cultivator camp.
However, it is impossible for the sect to open a green channel to you alone to perform your duties, you still have to carry out it. "
As soon as Guan Chao sat down, he looked kind and straight to the point.
Chen Dengming bowed humbly, "This disciple naturally saves money. I never dare to be so proud that I only enjoy the rights of the sect and enjoy my own privileges. After all, I don't have that privilege either."
Guan Chao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Everyone says that you are sensible, know how to advance and retreat, and are open-minded. You seem to be good. I am very optimistic about you becoming the next longevity seed."
"Ouch."
Chen Dengming was flattered, and he bowed politely and said, "Thank you, Master Guan, for your respect. I don't dare to accept it as a disciple. I don't dare to accept it."
He had heard many similar words in the past two years when he occasionally visited Master Yuding and Gongsun Zai.
Now, almost as a conditioned reflex, I immediately express my disapproval.
This is really a situation where we must not become complacent immediately and show ourselves as someone else.
Although we can compete in the future, it doesn't matter if we compete.
But on the surface, he doesn't want to stand out too much, lest he be ostracized and disliked by other fake alchemist brothers and cause a lot of nonsense.
In his opinion, choosing a long-lived person is not much different from choosing a person to talk about when watching Hong Kong movies in his previous life.
Be nice, if you vote for me this year, I won’t vote for you next year.
There's no need to act like I'm determined to bite you in public, but privately we have to meet up to go fishing and play with rocks. That would hurt the peace.
The senior officials of the longevity sect are not fools. In terms of strength, they have a crushing attitude. In terms of intelligence and methods, he has already understood that it is better to be humble and pretend to be Xiao Chen.
Guan Chao tried a few words and was very satisfied with Chen Dengming's consistent performance of knowing how to advance and retreat.
Such people are talents.
He is obviously very powerful, but he is not showy.
Making a fortune in silence appealed to his appetite.
He took out a dozen jade slips from his storage bag, placed them on the table, and said.
"Come on, let's choose. If it's really hard to choose, just draw lots."
"Ah?" Chen Dengming was stunned and looked at the jade slips on the table, "Is this all a mission?"
"good."
Guan Chao's expression became serious and he said, "But there are some things I can reveal to you privately. The sect originally wanted to give you some protection within the rules and arrange some tasks that are not dangerous for you so that you can cope with it.
However, some people hold different opinions and believe that there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days and must be proactively resolved.
Therefore, among these tasks, there are actually two different task routes. The key depends on how you choose. "
Guan Chao paused and added, "You don't have to worry. Even if you choose to take the initiative to solve the trouble, the sect will not let you bear the trouble alone. You should know the reason why Qiu Feng came here this time." .”
Chen Denming was startled, and then he realized something.
This may be the difference between the militant faction and the conservative faction within the sect.
Guan Chao is a neutral faction.
But no matter what kind, it is not to harm him, but to help him solve the problem.
Now, the choice is given to him.
But this
Could this guy be between two factions and choose sides?
Is it okay to remain neutral?
Chen Dengming complained in his heart and looked at Guan Chao a few more times.
I found that the old fox had already started drinking tea seriously, as if he would not give any more prompts.
Immediately, I had to separate my consciousness, browse the mission content, analyze the information, and make a choice.
Trouble, too much trouble.
In a large sect, when there are more people, there will be more differences, which means trouble.
This is still the longevity sect that is relatively healthy and salty. If it is replaced by the more competitive Tiandao sect, I am afraid there will be more troubles.
…
After a cup of tea.
Chen Dengming frowned and took out a mission jade slip that looked relatively good, not dangerous, and not particularly salty, and handed it to Guan Chao.
"Uncle Guanshi, I have chosen this mission. Can you help me check it? Why don't you go to the junior cave to have tea and chat. I still have a few cans of Yanyutai Lingcha in my collection."
"Yanyutai Lingcha?"
Guan Chao's eyes lit up, and then he hummed softly, took the jade slip, shook his head with a smile, "You kid, I won't drink the spirit tea, but I can remind you."
He blinked, glanced secretly at the main hall, and sent out his spiritual consciousness.
Chen Dengming's eyes brightened, a smile appeared on his face, and he made up his mind. When Heizi came back, he would ask Heizi to send the spiritual tea to Uncle Guanshi's cave without leaving a trace.
