Five days later.
Inside the Changqing Gate, the owner Cheng Zhenwei carefully put away the gift box containing two snow ginseng tendrils, and enthusiastically raised his hands to bow to a monk sitting opposite.
"I also ask Fellow Daoist Hong to thank Elder Li for the gift of snow ginseng on Cheng's behalf after he returns. Cheng and his nephew Hua Zhenyu will never break their promise."
The Taoist sitting opposite, with a rather delicate look between his eyebrows, nodded and smiled after hearing this.
"Master Cheng is too polite. In fact, my master also said this time that he was deeply sorry for not being able to get the longevity elixir for his nephew.
I only hope that these two snow ginseng tendrils can help become the sect leader, and I wish your nephew to successfully ascend to the position of longevity species. "
"No, no, Elder Li has been a huge help. Afterwards, Mr. Cheng even wanted to come to the door to express his gratitude."
After the two were polite, Cheng Zhenwei saw the guest off to the door with a smile on his face. Then the smile gradually disappeared, and his expression showed a bit of regret.
"uncle!"
At this time, in the rear side hall, Hua Zhenyu's figure floated out, and the injury to his broken leg had not yet fully recovered.
But for a fake elixir overhaul, it does not affect the action at all.
"Zhenyu."
Cheng Zhenwei looked back at his nephew, raised the gift box in his hand, and sighed.
"Two snow ginseng tendrils can extend your life for ten years. Although it is not as good as the longevity pill, it is still a rare treasure in the world. Maybe this will be your treasure that surpasses Chen Dengming."
"Um."
After Hua Zhenyu responded, he said, "In fact, with Chen Dengming's longevity potential, I don't think there is any need to waste such rare things as snow ginseng and ginseng, nor do I need to ask Senior Li from the Dan Sect to make such a promise. "
"childish!"
Cheng Zhenwei gave a low drink and said coldly, "How many times have I told you, don't underestimate your opponent, even if you already have the advantage, you have to go all out, let alone not yet have the advantage!"
How do you know that the other person is not a longevity person? How much longevity do you have?
Be prepared and be careful and you won’t make a huge mistake. "
Hua Zhenyu immediately showed a respectful look and said, "Uncle taught you right, my nephew is just thinking about the promise we made."
Cheng Zhenwei's eyes flashed, he put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters.
Making a promise does not mean that it must be fully fulfilled in the future. In short, I will push you to the position of longevity species first. If you can't get there, everything will be over.
It’s not like Old Ghost Li doesn’t know this, so why doesn’t he have a longevity pill in his hand? I just don't want to take it out. "
He paused for a moment, looked out the window, and said leisurely.
"Fortunately, I have heard from Elder Wen that Chen Dengming only entered the world of immortality when he was very old. It can be said that he cultivated immortality in his later years.
Now even if it is a fake elixir, it will definitely not be as good as you in terms of longevity potential in the future."
When Hua Zhenyu heard this, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
Cheng Zhenwei suddenly said, "Zhenyu, as the saying goes, retreat before advancing, if this competition for longevity species fails, have you thought about how you will get along with Chen Dengming?"
Hua Zhenyu was startled, his eyes met with Cheng Zhenwei's, and he understood what his uncle meant.
He looked at his broken leg, shook his head and laughed at himself.
"Uncle, I understand. A man must be able to take things up and let them go. Don't be stubborn.
If the competition still fails in the end, it means that my nephew is not as good as others. Even if he is unwilling to give in, the situation is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. Don't do stupid things to avoid getting deeper into the situation. "
A relieved smile appeared on Cheng Zhenwei's old face with obvious wrinkles, and he said.
"The fact that you have this enlightenment proves that your practice has not been in vain these years.
Yes, we are competing for this long-lived species at this time. No matter how we play, it is still a game within the rules. The elders of the sect are turning a blind eye to avoid becoming mortal enemies with blood feud.
Once you fail, you must withdraw from the battlefield immediately. You must not drag your feet, let alone deliberately retaliate, otherwise your good future may be ruined. "
Cheng Zhenwei looked sad, "In the past disputes over longevity species, some of your uncles have learned from the past.
Back then, my uncle, Senior Brother Xing and Qiu Feng, I competed for the longevity sect, but in the end our skills were inferior to others. Qiu Feng and I were smart enough to resign and leave the longevity sect to establish another sect.
Now that so many years have passed, we are getting better and better, and we have no grudge against Senior Brother Xing. The future of Yuanying is not without hope."
"My nephew knows."
Hua Zhenyu bowed his hands and took a breath in his heart, slowly settling down. He felt that his impetuous and violent mind had also calmed down a lot.
What he is playing now are all the leftover tricks of his uncle and ancestors. The experiences and lessons his uncle has summed up have been verified by history. Listen to the words of an old man and you will not suffer.
The longevity sect is in a valley.
The yellow leaves of the sycamore tree float down piece by piece, like beautiful butterflies flying in the air.
"Condensation!"
Chen Dengming's eyes flashed with golden light.
A powerful golden spiritual energy suddenly condensed in the air across the way. In an instant, several yellow leaves condensed into golden leaves and fell to the ground at a faster speed, making a 'ding-dong' sound.
Not far away, He Yingyu watched this scene with brilliant eyes and smiled.
"Junior brother, you have mastered your alchemy to such an extent that it is rare in the world. You can cast spells without pinching. The spells take effect very quickly. You are really unpredictable in battle."
The golden light in Chen Dengming's eyes disappeared, he shook his head and said with a smile, "This kind of low-level qi training technique is nothing if you have only practiced it to this level now."
After saying this, he suddenly took a step forward, and the leaves on the ground flew up.
A spiritual power, accompanied by a thick golden aura, suddenly emerged from outside the body, spinning slowly, full of ancient and majestic domineering.
He Yingyu's eyes lit up, she raised her hand and punched out a comb, hitting Chen Dengming's thick and clumsy golden aura outside her body, making a loud "clang" sound.
However, the golden air mask shook violently, but actually withstood the blow without any damage.
"Such a strong defense?"
He Yingyu opened her mouth in surprise, and suddenly increased the power of the elixir again, injecting nearly 80% of the power into the comb and punching it out.
"clang!!"
The golden air shield outside Chen Dengming's body shook violently, making an astonishing loud noise, splitting into cracks, and finally collapsed completely.
He Yingyu clicked her tongue, "Junior brother, your mere first- and third-level diamond shield technique can actually withstand the power of a blow from my magic weapon."
Chen Dengming laughed and said with satisfaction.
"Senior sister, if this small technique in the Qi training period is practiced to a high level, it can turn decay into magic."
Since the end of the selection of the longevity species, Chen Dengming has taken the time to practice in the sect, and will also take time to practice hard on some of the old techniques.
To him, these techniques are treasures waiting to be developed.
As long as he continues to make breakthroughs, his lifespan will increase again.
However, many of these techniques have already been practiced to the master level, and it is very difficult to continue to advance to the master level.
But if it is just a first-level technique during qi training, with Chen Dengming's current cultivation level and qualifications, it will not be that difficult to improve it.
Therefore, in these five days, he practiced the Diamond Shield Technique and the Golden Touch Technique to the master level, and his life span was also increased by ten years, reaching 884 years.
Excluding the lifespan that has been lost, he still has 320 years of life left to live.
Such a huge longevity potential is absolutely unrivaled in the foundation building period, which lays a solid foundation for the next potential competition.
"Junior brother, since you defeated Hua Zhenyu, your reputation within the sect has become even greater, and your number of votes has continued to rise. It is estimated that the disciples who have just returned to the sect have all voted for you."
The elegant figure of He Yingyu came over, took out the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the sawdust from Chen Dengming's forehead, and said with a smile.
"I see, you should also win this voting round."
Chen Dengming shook his head and said, "Don't be so optimistic. In addition to Uncle Guan and others, there are also five golden elixir elders in the sect who have not voted. Everything is unknown."
He Yingyu, "Master Qiu and Master Ye, Master Yuding, will definitely vote for you.
Even if Hua Zhenyu can get the support of Elder Wen and his uncle, the number of votes will still be more than a thousand short, unless in the end the head of punishment also votes for him. "
"So, now it's up to the head of punishment."
Chen Dengming smiled calmly and said, "It doesn't matter, just try your best, at least in a few days, you will be able to contact the immortal Taoism.
I am quite interested in this Taoism. The Immortal Taoism has allowed me to gain Tao power and my combat power has improved a lot, but I don’t know what I can get from the Heavenly Immortal Taoism. "
He Yingyu thought about it and said, "The Heavenly Immortal Dao Lineage of Tiandao Sect is to enhance combat power.
I heard that after they come into contact with the Celestial Taoism, they can receive orders from heaven and transform into sons of destiny. Their strength will be greatly increased. With some spells, they can borrow the power of heaven and punishment to attack the enemy.
It is even rumored that once one has reached the stage of overcoming tribulations through cultivation, one will have no fear of tribulations and will be extremely powerful."
Chen Dengming nodded slightly, remembering the scene where Qiao Zhaoxian summoned a thunderbolt, severely injuring a mighty general and splitting an ox's horns.
He couldn't help but wonder whether Qiao Zhaoxian, the candidate for Taoism, had already been exposed to the Taoism of Tiandao Sect.
It's very possible.
After all, in this generation of Tiandaozong, there is only one candidate, Qiao Zhaoxian, and almost none of the others are very competitive.
The sky thunder that Qiao Zhaoxian summoned back then was not an ordinary thunder method combined with elixir power and spiritual energy. It was more powerful. It was a sky thunder that was truly borrowed from the sky and clouds. It also posed a great threat to Jin Dan Overhaul.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the Thunder of Heavenly Tribulation, it is still a very powerful method at the level of the golden elixir. It may be deployed with the help of the power of the Celestial Taoism.
"The Heavenly Immortal Tradition of the Tiandao Sect enhances combat power by leveraging the power of Heaven's Power and Punishment. So, in what aspect does the Heavenly Immortal Tradition of our Longevity Sect enhance?
Longevity Sect. Is it simply about longevity? Live as long as heaven? "
Chen Dengming thought in his heart and left the valley hand in hand with the handsome He Yingyu.
If the longevity sect's Celestial Tradition only extended his life, its value to him would not be as great as imagined.
Because he can extend his life by practicing Qigong.
Of course, the more Shou Yuan, the better, and he would not be dissatisfied with it.
But in terms of value, it is not as good as other people who lack longevity.
Chen Dengming's thoughts are not known to the outside world, otherwise no matter who it is, he will probably be speechless.
Extending life and becoming immortal have always been opportunities that countless monks in the world of immortality dream of.
Countless people practice immortality in order to achieve immortality.
As a result, Chen Baimao became picky and disliked him, and he was simply not a son of a man.
A few days passed quickly.
It is late autumn, and the pines and cypresses at the foot of Changshou Peak are as green as flowing water. The red leaves on the mountain are as red as fire. The golden wild mulberry trees are hidden among the pines and cypresses and the red leaves, making the entire hillside gorgeous.
The final stage of competition between longevity species finally arrived on this day.
This process will not be shown to the outside world, and will be completely confidential in the Longevity Hall of the Longevity Sect to ensure that the potential of the five candidates and the status of the Celestial Immortal Tradition will not be leaked. This is the privacy of individuals and the sect.
When Chen Dengming flew to the longevity palace alone, all other candidates except Huyan Shunbin had arrived.
Hua Zhenyu, the senior brother who had his leg broken by him just a few days ago and had lost face severely, actually showed a friendly smile again when he saw him.
Because no matter how he offended him, he always looked friendly and polite on the surface, so Chen Dengming had to secretly give this person a thumbs up and be on high alert in his heart.
Not long after, the eight golden elixirs from the sect also arrived one after another, and Huyan Shunbin also arrived in a hurry.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and dull.
After Chen Dengming and others greeted the uncles of the Golden Alchemy Master, they suddenly felt a faint but extremely depressing pressure coming on them.
The eight golden alchemist uncles all saluted in the direction of the door.
"See Uncle Su!"
Chen Dengming's heart skipped a beat, and almost at the same time he felt the little spirit in the soul room shout in surprise. The little thing hid in a hurry, showing fear.
The next moment.
A beautiful figure of a woman in white appeared at the door of the longevity hall.
The moment she appeared, it seemed that the sunlight behind her was blocked instantly, and her whole body seemed to be plated with a layer of gold.
The light in the entire longevity hall dimmed, and the depressing atmosphere became even stronger.
I saw her gauze mask, which covered her pretty face above the lips. She was tall and tall, with an aura that stood out from the crowd. Her figure was slender and well-fitted, and her body was beautiful and convex.
But what's even more impressive is the small mole on the corner of her lip that looks like a dot of paint, adding a different kind of charm.
Even if her face is covered by a veil, everyone can conclude that she is definitely a rare beauty.
In fact, the higher your cultivation level, the more beautiful you will naturally be. Changing and optimizing your appearance are just tricks, unless you are someone who doesn't want to change and doesn't care about beauty or ugliness.
"Disciple Hua Zhenyu, meet the Third Master!"
Hua Zhenyu's respectful salute caused other people present to react.
Chen Dengming immediately followed her to the ceremony, only to find out that this woman was actually the third ancestor, one of the three Yuan Ying ancestors of the Changshou Sect.
He knew that the third ancestor was a woman, but he did not know her name.
Hua Zhenyu, who has been a senior brother for decades, has indeed not been in vain, and he has learned everything.
Su Sanzu nodded slightly, saying hello to Chen Dengming and other disciples, and then stepped into the hall.
Xing Huiguang was such a serious person, but he was quite attentive at this time. He hurriedly welcomed him to the table, and then went straight to the point and announced that the test of potential had officially begun, and he respectfully invited Su Sanzu.
"Please also ask Master Uncle Su to test their longevity potential and spiritual root potential."
Chen Dengming's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
This test of longevity and spiritual root potential requires the majestic Yuanying Master to do it himself?
He thought it was some kind of magical instrument being used for testing, but the result was unexpected, and he felt a little nervous for no reason.
Although the sect has already figured out his details, Shouyuan has always been his biggest secret.
It is always disturbing to have such a secret being explored by the Nascent Soul monster.
However, now that things have developed to this point, no matter how nervous and apprehensive it is, it will not help. He cannot give up now and turn around and run away. That would be even weirder.
This is the thought.
Chen Dengming felt calm again, and the mysterious Tao power stirred in his sea of consciousness, which made people feel inexplicably peaceful.
His whole body felt comfortable, and his mind was as quiet as the deep sea. The slight gap in his mind that had just been born due to tension was instantly closed, and he reached the unity of all things and the universe, returning to the natural state of unity between man and nature.
There is no limit to human power, but there is no limit to the mind!
His spiritual power and spiritual realm have become more stable than ever before.
"Um?"
Su Yanyan glanced at Chen Dengming in the corner and was keenly aware of the change in this man's mood.
Chen Dengming noticed the gaze, but was not surprised at all. When he calmly turned around to look, he met Su Yanyan's bright eyes behind the veil.
Eyes crossed.
Su Yanyan's gaze moved away without leaving any trace, as if he glanced at all the disciples.
Chen Dengming suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if the third ancestor had just told him some message through his soul.
But if I try to catch it carefully, I can't catch it.
This may not be what the Third Ancestor wanted to tell him.
Rather, he inadvertently captured some message deep in the other person's heart from the other person's eyes.
Naturally, this is not something he can do. It may be the help of the inheritance of the human-immortal Tao to unify the heart.
However, he could not understand this kind of secretly stolen information for the time being. He felt a little incomprehensible, perhaps because the level involved was too high.
While Chen Dengming was deep in thought, Su Sanzu had already begun to test the longevity potential.
Hua Zhenyu's name was read out first and he went to the audience where Zhuo Li was sitting at the head of the table to salute.
Su Yanyan raised her slender hands and pointed out the secret formula.
A halo of light suddenly enveloped Hua Zhenyu.
The originally transparent halo kept changing in an instant, gradually transitioning from white to blue, and finally stayed at dark blue.
The colors of many golden elixirs present here have changed slightly.
Ye Yong, the master of Jade Cauldron, sighed, "Shou Yuan's potential is Deep Blue...? This potential is really good. I remember that Senior Brother Xing was also Deep Blue back then, right?"
"Not bad!" Xing Huiguang nodded with a smile.
The technique performed by Su Sanzu is the Seven Color Mingjian Numerology Technique.
With an astonishing cultivation level, he can detect his life span qualification and spiritual root qualification, and judge them by the colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. The color ranges from red to purple, and the darker it is, the more extraordinary his qualifications are.
Hua Zhenyu's longevity potential has reached a dark blue color, which has exceeded the inclusion standard of blue longevity species.
"Zhenyu is indeed very qualified. Those two snow ginseng whiskers were not in vain. This time it is safe."
Cheng Zhenwei watched this scene with a pleased smile on his old face.
No matter how much he tried to persuade his nephew to be wary of arrogance and impatience, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw such results.
You must know that back then, his longevity potential was only dark green, which had not reached the blue standard and was worse than Qiu Feng.
At this time, Su Sanzu turned his hand again, and another circle of light enveloped Hua Zhenyu, testing his spiritual root aptitude. The color of the circle gradually transitioned to indigo.
This scene is not surprising.
The color indigo represents Hua Zhenyu’s spiritual roots, which are top-grade spiritual roots. This is something everyone knows.
In fact, all the other candidates have high-grade spiritual root qualifications, and there is no one with poor qualifications.
"Not bad!" After the test, Su Yanyan made a rare comment.
Hua Zhenyu had a look of sincerity and fear on his face and hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Third Master, for the praise!"
After saying that, he slowly stepped back and let others step forward to check.
As a result, after continuous testing of Huyan Shunbin and Tan Siyan, the longevity potential of these two people was actually only light green and dark green, and had not yet reached the blue standard line.
"How could this be? I am fifteen years younger than Hua Zhenyu, and my longevity potential is only dark green?"
After Tan Siyan stepped back, he was extremely stunned and fell into self-doubt.
This longevity potential is unknown to anyone unless it is tested.
And this detection technique is also very difficult for humans to perform. It is a fourth-level Nascent Soul technique.
And even if it is tested, it can only roughly judge the potential, but cannot determine the specific number of years left to live.
Therefore, Tan Siyan is deeply suspicious. He is more than ten years younger than Hua Zhenyu, and his longevity potential is not as good as Hua Zhenyu's. Does this mean that his lifespan is not as long as Hua Zhenyu's?
Xing Huiguang saw that the two of them were in low spirits and scolded, "Idiot, don't make a mistake. In the future, you will break through the golden elixir and live eight hundred years. What does this mere temporary gain and loss mean?"
Both Tan Siyan and Huyan Shunbin were shocked, woke up, and immediately bowed and thanked them.
When several other Jindan elders saw this, they all smiled and shook their heads.
This method of detecting the potential of longevity may affect the confidence and emotions of the disciples. In addition, only Yuanying Zhenjun can perform it, so the longevity sect will not detect it easily.
Xing Huiguang then turned his attention to Chen Dengming and sighed inwardly.
The reason why he kept Chen Dengming until now to prepare for roll call was to let him see the state of others and gain some comfort, so as to avoid psychological imbalance later.
After all, he also knew that Chen Dengming was cultivating immortality in his later years.
Even though his longevity has increased a lot now, in terms of potential, he is still at the bottom among the five.
"Chen Dengming!"
"The disciple is here!"
Chen Dengming felt extremely calm and immediately stepped out of the queue and walked towards Su Sanzu.
Before, he was worried that the secret of his longevity would be discovered, but now, he is calm.
Because Xing Huiguang just introduced the Qicai Mingjian numerology technique, we already know that this technique cannot detect the specific age.
Therefore, even if his longevity potential is very strong and reaches purple, it is shocking at best.
As for how to explain that he still had such a long life after cultivating immortality in his later years, he already wanted a reasonable reason to explain it.
Then the only way to resolve it is to throw out a more shocking thing that a few people know but most people don't know.
"Disciple goes to the Third Master and asks the Third Master to cast a spell!"
Chen Dengming stood still under the high platform under Su Yanyan's seat, raised his hands and bowed.
Su Yanyan's indifferent bright eyes fell on Chen Denming, and her beautiful eyes circled between the white hair on his temples. She had already heard of Chen Baimao's "famous name".
She nodded slightly, formed a seal with her delicate hands, and cast a spell.
A halo of light suddenly enveloped Chen Dengming.
