In the dim underground cave, a bitingly cold underground pool sparkled.
On the edge of the pond, there are all kinds of rare and exotic grasses growing, and it is impossible to tell what species they are.
But if an expert in biology accidentally breaks in, he will definitely be surprised, because these plants are all brand-new species that have never been discovered.
No, some of them are not even plants, but bizarre creatures somewhere between plants and animals.
One of the beautiful giant flowers twisted its stems and wound around an irregular stone platform in the center of the small pool.
There is a man in his fifties sitting cross-legged on the stone platform. Although the years have left traces on his face, these wrinkles are like carvings with a knife, which highlights the resoluteness of his face. The muscles all over his body are strong and full, and inside He seemed to possess immense power, and he didn't look like a middle-aged man approaching senility at all.
The giant flower attached itself to the man, and a fleshy tongue protruded from the calyx, constantly licking his skin.
A ray of light shone in from the crack the size of a copper coin on the roof of the cave, and it just reflected on the man, spreading a layer of light gold on the surface of his body.
Looking from a distance, this person has a coquettish feeling that is somewhere between sacred and weird.
There was a sound of footsteps in the dark corridor of the cave, and after a while, a tall and tall young man with long hair hanging casually on his shoulders appeared.
The man walked on thin ice to the pond, knelt on the ground with a plop, cupped his hands and said, "Master, my disciple is back!"
This person is none other than Chang Chunsheng!
The middle-aged man on the stone platform slowly opened his eyes, giving people a sense of calm and self-respect.
He just glanced at Chang Chunsheng's strands of white hair and asked lightly: "Did you call the Immortal Family?"
Chang Chunsheng's face was livid, his head lowered unconsciously, and he replied stiffly: "Yes."
His master snorted coldly, "Who is it?"
Chang Chunsheng hesitated for a moment, then replied bravely: "Di Zhu Xian."
"Asshole!"
The middle-aged man was furious and shouted, causing a wave of air to spread out, causing Chang Chunsheng's eardrums on the ground to hurt.
"How can the Earth Pillar Immortal be summoned by a monk in your own realm! Did you know that just by summoning it once, how much energy will you need to feed? How much life will it cost you! And the scroll for summoning the great demon is precious. The master lent you a life-saving talisman, and you used it so easily!?"
Chang Chunsheng had thick beads of sweat on his forehead and did not dare to say anything.
The man spit out thick phlegm on Chang Chunsheng's forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it away.
"Mud that can't hold up the wall!"
At this time, the man who had been standing silently in another corner of the cave came forward, bowed and said carefully: "Master, I can't blame my junior brother entirely for this. Who didn't expect that the monk from Huangkou Village ate the blood toad?" Not only did the viscera pill not turn into a monster, but it was also refined into magical powers according to the pill recipe. According to my junior brother's cultivation, it is indeed a bit reluctant to deal with this matter."
The person who spoke had a calm voice, but it was Hua Yinfeng who sent Chen Si to Huangkou Village.
Hearing Hua Yinfeng's plea, the man finally lost some of his anger, "You dare to take on such a task even if you are not good at academics. If you can make me worry less than your senior brother, why should I be angry all day long!"
Looking at the frightened second disciple who was kneeling on the ground, the man resisted the urge to continue teaching him a lesson and asked: "Did the little monk sent in by your senior brother come out alive this time?"
Chang Chunsheng was doubtful for a moment. He didn't know why Master mentioned that kid, but he quickly replied truthfully: "Master, he was in Huangkou Village after I left, but when I left, I saw that his physical condition was not serious. He should be fine. thing."
The master thought for a moment and then asked: "What do you think of that person's talent?"
Chang Chunsheng was startled, thinking that the master had the idea of recruiting a new disciple, so he expressed his opinion: "Although that boy does not have strong magical powers, he has a ruthless heart, vicious and deadly moves. He is a good candidate for cultivating immortals.
Moreover, he can take the half-finished Blood Toad Zangfu Pill and still maintain his human form, which is enough to show that his physical talent is not bad, and he is considered a piece of raw material. "
When the master heard this, an unknown smile appeared on his face, "Yes, Feng'er, what about the other person? Where is he now?"
Hua Yinfeng replied respectfully: "I have obeyed your order, master, and deliberately let Gao Liyao go, but..."
There was a look of worry in his eyes, "That Gao Liyao is very smart, and he is not a good person. This time he has formed a conflict with the Department of Spirituality. I am afraid that he will secretly seek revenge in the future. Since the alien who came out of the ghost cave is against You are of use, we might as well capture Gao Liyao and Chen Si together to avoid long nights and dreams."
The master smiled and shook his head, stroking his beard and said: "Don't be impatient. Let the two of them continue fighting. This matter is like raising worms. Who of them will survive in the end? Who is the one I want?" It was too hasty.”
Hua Yinfeng's heart trembled as he understood what the master meant.
Seeing the master closing his eyes and starting to practice again, the two of them retreated in silence.
After walking far out of the cave, Chang Chunsheng dared to wipe away the thick phlegm on his head. He couldn't help complaining: "Master is too partial. Brother, tell me, you are also his disciple, why does he always favor you?" Jia, you never gave me a good look?"
Hua Yinfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Junior brother, you are too aggressive, and Master loves you deeply. If he didn't have expectations for you, why would he teach you every time he sees you? I Sometimes it’s not too late to be envious.”
Chang Chunsheng curled his lips, but didn't take it seriously.
Master's preference for his senior brother and junior sister can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Only he was like a picked bastard when he was a child. His grandma did not love him and his uncle did not love him.
After he finished complaining, he stopped worrying and turned to ask about another thing.
"I just heard what you said, that boy came out of a ghost cave. Could it be that Master is planning to..."
Chang Chunsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Hua Yinfeng nodded calmly and said, "You guessed it right. Since the incident decades ago, the ghost cave has never appeared again. After this appearance, two people came back, which is really rare.
This is a rare opportunity, and Master doesn't want to miss it. The news has been suppressed and is only stranded at the first level of Huayin City in the Department of Spirit. This matter must not be made public. Do you understand? "
Chang Chunsheng nodded cautiously, feeling glad that he didn't have any evil thoughts towards Chen Si, otherwise wouldn't it have ruined the master's path?
But he still had doubts and couldn't help but ask: "Master plans to let these two people fight and ultimately decide life and death. But according to my observation, the boy named Chen Si is very cunning and may not end up as we want." .”
Hua Yinfeng said: "Don't worry, the people coming out of the ghost cave will definitely be incompatible with each other. Even if we don't intervene, they will fight to the death. This is fate and the "way of heaven"."
