how?
Xie Changan's heart felt like a knife. He and Shen Hong were from the same school. They once fought side by side and depended on each other for life and death. Unexpectedly, they would become like this now.
Or is it that this junior brother is also afraid of his own strength?
Xie Changan smiled bitterly and shook his head, his face full of disappointment, "That's all, whatever the headmaster says, let it be."
After saying that, he walked out of the hall with a lonely face.
"Headmaster, what about that boy Lu Li?"
Seeing Xie Changan leave, Wen Zhang couldn't help but feel happy. He worked so hard to squeeze out Xie Changan, not only because he wanted to be the elder, but also because he wanted to please Shen Hong.
Because he knew that although the two of them came from the same sect, the overall situation was now decided, and a sect only needed one voice.
Shen Hong's eyes flickered slightly, "Senior brother, he is in a bad mood. Let's put this matter aside for the time being. We will wait until the trial of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower is over before it is too late..."
Wen Sheng understood and said yes respectfully.
In the main hall, the scene of laughter and laughter once again resumed. Shen Hong chatted with everyone for a few words and then left the main hall.
"Brother, wait!"
In the corner of the square outside the hall, Shen Hong came to Xie Changan's side in a flash, "Senior brother."
Xie Changan turned his head and glanced at Shen Hong, "Master Headmaster, what are your orders?"
Shen Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you should understand that this is not my original intention."
Xie Changan nodded, "It's hard to quell public anger, I understand."
"Senior brother, it's good that you understand. For the sake of the master's legacy, I have wronged my senior brother."
"Haha, it's okay." Xie Changan shook his head, "If Master Headmaster has nothing else to do, I will leave first."
After saying that, he cupped his hands, stretched out his figure, and headed directly towards Taiheng Peak.
During the flight, the look of loneliness on Xie Changan's face became a little more intense, "You've learned nothing but power, and you are quite proficient in power. However, in this world, power is not as good as fists." , I hope Spirit Beast Mountain will not be destroyed in your hands."
In the corner of the square, Shen Hong clenched his fist with one hand and put it behind his back. He looked at the retreating figure and murmured, "They are right. Only one voice can explode the power to a point. For the sake of Spirit Beast Mountain, Junior Brother hopes that you will not Do something stupid or else..."
...
At the end of October, the Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts opened, the day before.
"Senior Brother Lu!"
"Senior Brother Lu, are you there?"
"..."
Ning Fan, who was wearing green clothes, stood outside the fence outside Chenxiang Valley and shouted loudly inside, but there was no response from inside, making him look a little anxious.
"Senior brother said last time that he was going to seclusion. Could it be that he hasn't come out of seclusion yet?"
Ning Fan frowned and paced back and forth outside. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he jumped up, waving his hands and shouting, "Brother, this way, this way!"
Lu Li had just come out of the room. When he saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He waved from a distance and shouted, "Junior Brother Ning, you can just come in."
With that said, he walked down the courtyard.
After more than three months of continuous retreat and consuming more than 90,000 small spiritual stones, he finally achieved his wish and solidified the third ring of the second level of the dark attribute. At this time, there were ten Taoist platforms in Dantian, and the third ring of all Taoist platforms All have solidified.
It can be regarded as a real achievement of perfect cultivation in the mid-term.
As long as the fourth ring is completely solidified, the third layer can be manifested and enter the later stage of foundation building.
Moreover, he believes that this day will not be too far away, because in March next year, the nine spiritual fruits will be ready for picking.
"Senior Brother Lu, you are so amazing. You have been in seclusion for more than three months. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stay that long. After ten days of seclusion, I feel uncomfortable all over." Ning Fan trotted in with admiration on his face.
Lu Li smiled and said, "Just get used to it. Although cultivation talent is important, determination and perseverance are also indispensable. Before doing anything, set a small goal for yourself and never quit until you reach a certain point. If things go on like this, you will be slow. If you slow down, you will find that...cultivation is really boring!"
Ning Fan was listening attentively, but when he heard the end, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Senior brother, you are really interesting."
Lu Li chuckled, "In practice, you have to laugh when you should, but you have to be serious when you should be serious. No matter how boring you are, you have to persevere.
The initial purpose of every practitioner is the same. They embark on this path purely out of envy of those 'immortals' flying around in the sky and calling for wind and rain.
However, as our cultivation level gets higher and we discover more things, our original dream has also changed. It is no longer simply about learning those cool spells, but more about wanting to live longer and also I want to see what is going on above this blue sky..."
It was rare for someone to listen to his chat, so Lu Li did not hesitate to tell Ning Fan his understanding of cultivation. What he said was not the truth, but he hoped to plant a firm determination in cultivation in the other person's heart.
Ning Fan was fascinated by what he heard. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and respectfully said, "Thank you, senior brother, for your teaching."
Lu Li shook his head and said, "It's not about teachings, it's just some superficial understanding. By the way, why are you looking for me?"
"ah!"
Ning Fan screamed and then realized, "I forgot about business. It was the Great Elder who asked me to call you over. Let's go quickly, otherwise, he may be unhappy."
Great Elder is looking for me?
Lu Li pondered for a moment, looked around and found that there was no sign of the little one, so he said, "Let's go."
Following Ning Fan out of Chenxiang Valley, the two of them went straight to the main hall of Taiheng Peak.
When he arrived outside the hall, Ning Fan stopped and pointed to a trail going backwards on the right side of the inner courtyard, "Brother, I won't go in. You can follow that path to the backyard. The great elder is in the backyard." middle."
"good."
Lu Li nodded, straightened his clothes, and then walked in unhurriedly. When he reached the end, he found a beautiful courtyard.
At this time, Xie Changan was sitting cross-legged in a pavilion on the edge of the yard, facing a three-foot-high rockery waterfall, motionless.
Lu Li paused for a moment, then walked over quickly, saluted respectfully, "Senior, are you looking for me?"
Xie Changan exhaled heavily through his nostrils. His expression looked quite depressed. He even shook involuntarily when he stood up. It was not until he sat on the gooseneck chair that he felt better.
Pointing to the side, he said slowly, "Little friend, sit down and talk."
Seeing Xie Changan's demeanor, Lu Li suddenly felt that the other party seemed much older, not in terms of his face, but in his heart. He felt that the other party's heart was much older than three months ago, and he felt as if his heart was as gray as death. .
After sitting down, Lu Li glanced at the falling waterfall, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I encountered something, and I just couldn't calm down for a while."
Xie Changan rubbed his brows, forced a smile and said, "I came here to ask you if you want to participate in this trial of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower..."
