No one spoke, just looked at each other. Only each other's breathing could be heard.
One person's breathing was slow, and the other person's breathing was a little rapid. The one who was gentle was Chu Cheng, but the one who was quick was the man in red robe.
Chu Cheng felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, and the thought of leaving arose in his heart, but when he thought that the person in front of him was the liquid condensation monk, no matter how uneasy he felt, he could not leave with him.
It didn't help that the door slowly closed.
When people become more uneasy, they put on a calm look and pretend to be calm to cover up the panic in their hearts.
Chu Cheng looked at the person in front of him calmly, and suddenly felt that his master was a little strange.
Although he had not met Chang Sun Hall many times, he was not familiar with it. But today it feels even stranger.
Changsuntang laughed softly, smiling without saying a word, but the joy in his eyes became even more intense.
After a moment, Chu Cheng thought about it and finally moved. He bent down and stood up, performing the courtesy of a junior.
"Disciple Chu Cheng, pay homage to Master."
Chang Suntang did not reply, but focused his gaze on the door, penetrated the barrier, and finally landed on two rows of dead plum trees.
He looked very young at this time, like a young man in his early twenties. But who knows his real age?
If it were a tree, there would be more than 400 growth rings under its growth rings.
He is over 400 years old, and the fire of his life is gradually fading, and perhaps it will not be long before he goes out and becomes silent.
The foundation-building monks are only two hundred years old. And the liquid condensation monks only lasted another two hundred years.
It takes a hundred years for a mortal to return to the void and two hundred years to build a foundation. A liquid condensation monk can only live for five hundred years at most.
Hundreds of years... It takes a mortal to turn into earth in a hundred years, but a monk only takes the same number of hundreds of years.
Changsuntang has entered his twilight years, and there will never be another hundred years in his life.
If you don't enter the golden elixir, it will only last a hundred years and will not last forever with heaven.
Although there is a lifespan after entering the golden elixir avenue, it will last for a thousand years after all.
Over the millennia, it was the prosperity, decline, and change of a dynasty.
However, Changsun Hall may never be seen again, unable to step onto the Golden Elixir Avenue. Decades later, his soul will return to the starry sky and his body will turn into loess.
The world has ebb and flow, and it changes every year. The ups and downs of the world will never be seen again.
But how could Chang Sun Tang be willing to leave this world just like that? He still wants to live for another five hundred years, a thousand years...
But now, there is finally hope of continuation.
Changsuntang put on new clothes and even transformed into his youthful appearance to welcome this grand ceremony. After he enters the golden elixir avenue, he will regain his youth again.
There was silence, so oppressive that Chu Cheng could hardly breathe, but he remained calm on the surface, secretly thinking about how to deal with it. His left hand was clasped behind his back, and his thumb fell on the storage ring.
He was prepared to immediately take out the Xuan-level defensive talismans and the attack talisman if something went wrong.
This is what Chu Cheng relies on now, and it is also a means to save his life.
As long as he breaks out of this cave and is under the sect's forbidden formation, as long as he crushes this mysterious attack talisman and unleashes a full blow from the condensation-stage monks, he will surely alarm the elders of the sect.
"Are you afraid of me?" Changsuntang looked away and finally focused on Chu Cheng.
Chu Cheng was startled, but he still looked at Chang Sun Tang.
He smiled and said: "Master is joking. As a disciple, how can I be afraid of Master?"
Upon hearing this, Changsuntang looked at Chu Cheng with a half-smile, and said, "I have noticed your nervousness since you first entered here."
The cave fell into silence. After a while, Chu Cheng slowly spoke, showing a joyful smile and said: "Master has cultivated to the heavens and reached the state of returning to nature. It really surprises the disciples!"
When he said this, he looked into Chang Sun Tang's eyes as if staring at a poisonous snake.
Chu Cheng had a smile and joy on his face, and seemed to be really happy that Changsuntang suddenly became young. But in my heart, I became more defensive.
In Changsuntang's eyes, Chu Cheng felt a hint of greed, just like looking at a delicious and tender fruit.
Chang Suntang laughed and said: "That's very good. I am very happy to see you. Today, I brought you a pot of tea."
The tea is hot, the water is clear and green in color, the white mist is curling up, and the fragrance is overflowing.
This tea is still the same tea, the tea that Chu Cheng drank last time. But after all, the taste has changed.
The sweetness turned into bitterness, the fragrance turned into tasteless...
"What? Don't you think it tastes good? How about a different pot?" Changsuntang and Chu Cheng had already sat down at this time.
Chu Cheng looked at the tea in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The tea that Master poured for me personally, how can it not taste good?"
He took a sip. The tea was fragrant in his mouth and had a long aftertaste. It tasted much better than the last time.
Changsuntang smiled, took a sip and said, "This tea is also the favorite tea of your previous senior brothers."
When Chu Cheng heard this, he shook his hand and the tea splashed...
Chang Suntang seemed not to have seen this scene, and said to himself: "Drinking tea for my teacher, I like to drink it all in one gulp, but I like to taste precious tea slowly. The more I sip it, the more I can enjoy it. That pleasure.”
Chu Cheng regained his composure, wiped away the water stains calmly, and said with a smile: "This tea is good, but it is too hot."
He couldn't let Chang Sun Tang know his fears. Although he had discovered something, the thing he was worried about had not happened yet.
Before taking action, he still had an excuse to leave. If he knew what he had discovered, it would be a disaster.
Changsuntang took another sip of tea and said with a smile: "From the first time I saw you, I saw that you are extremely talented, and your achievements in the future will definitely not be lower than mine. But I didn't expect that I was still looking the wrong way. . Your qualifications are rare in a thousand years, and it is not a problem to step into the golden elixir avenue."
Chu Cheng has only been a disciple for a year, and the first time he was only at the sixth level of Qi Gathering, in just one year, he reached the perfection of Qi Gathering, and it was also the Great Perfection of the 12th level of Qi Gathering.
Throughout the ages, many twelfth-level Qi-gathering monks have appeared in Qingzhou. Most of those golden elixir powers were at the twelfth level during their Qi gathering period, but which one could rise to six small steps in a row in just one year?
Chu Cheng achieved the twelfth level of Qi gathering in such a short period of time, which is a rare talent in the ages. Not only that, as long as Chu Cheng successfully refines the ultimate pill, he will definitely be able to enter the foundation building realm. This kind of advancement speed is simply terrifying!
Changsuntang narrowed his eyes and said again: "You are an incredible talent, even the great masters of Jindan will rush to accept you as their disciple. Do you feel wronged by your worshiping under my disciple?"
Although Chu Cheng agreed in his heart, he did not dare to say these words. He could only say: "If it were not for Master, I would not have entered the path of alchemy. If it were not for the Qi-breaking Pill given by Master, the disciple said Maybe it’s still stuck on the sixth level of Qi Gathering.”
He acted very sincerely without any flaws. It's like... I really feel extremely grateful to Chang Sun Hall.
Chang Suntang chuckled and said, "Interesting, none of my former disciples have ever said that."
Chu Cheng smiled slightly and said: "Because the disciple is the one who respects the master the most among these brothers!"
As he spoke, his eyes never left Changsun Hall, and the feeling of depression became stronger and stronger.
Changsuntang chuckled and said: "If I met you a hundred years ago, you would have achieved such achievements. I am really happy to be my teacher. But I don't have much time to be my teacher."
He only has twenty or thirty years before his end, or even less. Time is indeed running out.
Changsuntang sighed and continued: "I was one hundred and fifty-three years old to build the foundation, and three hundred and twenty-nine years to condense the liquid. Unfortunately, my qualifications are limited. Now two hundred years have passed again, but I am still stuck in the middle stage of the liquid condensation."
"It's a pity that the deadline is approaching and there is not much time left."
With a sigh, he felt helpless. Although Chang Sun Tang was only in the middle stage of cultivation and ranked low in strength among the Luo Yun Sect, his qualifications could be said to be among the top three among the elders.
The Golden Elixir Avenue is really too difficult to enter. For thousands of years, even the entire Green Continent may not be able to step into it with both hands. It stumped tens of thousands of liquid condensation perfection monks.
Chu Cheng shook his head. Said: "Master, with great blessings in the sky, he will definitely be able to embark on the golden elixir road."
Changsun Tang chuckled: "I have been stuck in the middle stage of condensation for a hundred years. Even if you give me another two hundred years, it will be useless. But there is a shortcut."
Chu Cheng raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but be curious, and asked: "What method is it?"
He had never heard of any way to directly enter the golden elixir realm from the middle stage of liquid condensation. Although he must have truly established the foundation and directly entered the Golden Core in the future, he is still a little curious.
"Eighty years ago, by chance, my master got a secret book on the way of elixir. This is the key to entering the path of golden elixir!"
"By the way, this alchemy secret book is exactly the one my master gave you a year ago." Chang Suntang continued: "This alchemy secret book records a kind of elixir. As long as sixteen people can practice this elixir, A cultivator who has perfected the Qi Gathering of the Dan Dao and refined it into the Huang Quan Dao Breaking Dan will have a 90% chance of successfully entering the realm of the Golden Dan."
Suddenly, an evil spirit swept through the cave, so oppressive that even the soul trembled.
This is the liquid monk! The liquid condensation monk who made Chu Cheng not even have the heart to resist.
Chu Cheng trembled in his heart, but remained calm on the surface...
Sure enough, Chu Cheng's guess was indeed correct. The disappearance of those disciples was related to Changsun Hall, but what no one expected was that those people were actually refined into elixirs!
Sixteen pills, sixteen people. Except for Chu Cheng, fifteen disciples have been refined into elixirs before.
Now, there is only one left. In other words, as long as Chu Cheng is refined into elixir, it will be the time when Changsuntang enters the golden elixir.
This is the Immortal Sect, the leader of the righteous path in Qingzhou, but there is such a vicious person in the Immortal Sect, who uses people to practice elixirs. This kind of unscrupulous thing can only be done by people from the Evil Sect.
At this moment, Chu Cheng felt deeply cold, as if he was in an ice cellar.
At this moment, outside the cave, the remaining sun was setting, the dusk was no longer there, and the last light disappeared.
Only, the darkness is full, there is no moon and no stars tonight.
