The grass and trees are wet, and the stream is flowing and the music is playing in the pool.
In the gap between the clouds and mountains, Su Mo in white came quietly, and the surrounding vegetation seemed like old friends who had never recognized this connection.
A cave stands on the cliff. A stone platform outside the cave is covered with moss. It seems that no one has set foot on it for a long time, making it look a little deserted but full of vitality.
This is the cave where the old madman lives. Su Mo came here for a six-month appointment.
I had agreed with the old madman before that he would come and donate his blood every six months. The old madman would also take a look at Su Mo's problems while studying what was on his mind.
After attending the appointment, Su Mo and Bai Zhi will go to find the elixir with Granny Suzhan.
Su Mo arrived outside the cave. Before he could speak, the vicissitudes of the old madman's voice came from the cave.
"Just come in."
Su Mo nodded and walked directly into the cliff cave.
The scene in the cave is still the same, but the old madman looks much older. His white hair is messy and his eyes are tired.
"Senior..." Su Mo bowed slightly and saluted the old madman.
The old madman put down what he was doing and threw a bottle in front of Su Mo.
Su Mo took the bottle and immediately understood what he was going to do. He stretched out his fingers and reached into the mouth of the bottle. He used his own cultivation to force a few drops of his heart's blood into the bottle, and then capped the bottle.
Su Mo stood up respectfully and put the porcelain bottle aside.
When he turned around to look, he found that the old madman was studying a few seeds, and seemed to be thinking about how to create a plant elixir that he could place his feelings on.
Su Mo didn't bother him, he just watched the old madman's actions silently.
The old madman ignored Su Mo and just continued his research.
Finally, the two plants in front of him merged and withered, once again announcing the failure of the old madman's research...
Seeing the failed fusion of vegetation again, the old madman took a deep breath and seemed a little depressed.
"Perhaps... if you want plants to express your feelings, you need to find a plant with feelings first." Su Mo looked at the old madman and couldn't help but speak.
The old madman turned around and glanced at Su Mo, "There are no sentient plants and trees."
"There aren't many plants and trees with spirits in this world, let alone ones with emotions?"
Su Mo opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Apart from the flower of the other shore, he really didn't know what plants and trees had feelings, and the feelings of the flower of the other shore seemed to be the emotions given by it itself.
The old madman looked at Su Mo's body, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he asked doubtfully: "Has your Five-Xun Pill Technique broken through to the state of seeking meaning?"
Su Mo nodded, not surprised that the old lunatic knew that Wuxun Immortal Lord taught him the Wuxun Pill Technique.
The old madman is also the predecessor of Xianlu, so it is not surprising to guess that Wuxun will teach him the Wuxun alchemy technique.
The old madman nodded thoughtfully, turned to look at the porcelain bottle that Su Mo had just put aside to store his blood, and suddenly said: "I've been looking at your problems."
"I have some clues..."
It's just that the old madman seems to be frowning, as if he doesn't know how to speak.
Su Mo immediately looked at the old madman excitedly, "Senior, please speak clearly."
The old madman sighed, looked at Su Mo again and shook his head, "I just had some clues, but I didn't fully see the problem."
"You might want to be prepared, though."
"The problem...maybe bigger than you think!"
Su Mo felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He heard something in the old madman's words that made even the old madman feel uneasy.
"What preparations should be made?" Su Mo asked.
The old madman looked directly at Su Mo, "Be prepared to face this problem, be prepared to face yourself."
The old madman's voice was very calm, but Su Mo could hear a chill.
This chill did not come from the old madman, but from himself.
It seems that this question will soon be answered, and he must not be able to face it...
Su Mo looked at the old madman blankly, his mouth open and he didn't speak for a long time.
The old madman sighed, "There has never been a perfect person in this world. Perfection itself is the biggest problem."
"You have a perfect body and soul, as if you were made in heaven."
"But how has anything created by heaven ever been perfect in this world?"
"Have you ever doubted yourself?"
Su Mo nodded, he had doubted it!
He knew at all times that he was not from this world.
He is Su Mo, from another world.
He was a spiritual consciousness that floated in the endless sea of stars for countless years, and then descended on the Jiangnan scholar who died in the examination room.
He became Su Jingyan, a god, and Pei Minan.
However, he knew that he was just Su Mo.
He didn't know whether his perfect body came from Su Mo or Su Jingyan.
The old madman nodded, stood with his hands behind his hands, turned to look at the cloud-disturbed scenery outside the cave, and spoke quietly.
"How does this world exist?"
"What are you and me but you and me?"
"Is the real scenery in this world what we see in our eyes?"
The old madman raised his hand and grabbed a piece of immortal power directly from the void. The immortal power continued to change into various shapes in the old madman's hand.
Like flowers, like grass...
"Everything in the world is a mystery, and you and I have never seen its true face."
"Just like you, maybe you have never seen your true self..."
"What you see is what it is in your eyes. Why go overboard and seek the truth?"
The old madman turned to look at Su Mo, his expression indescribably complicated, "Are you going to find the meaning of elixir?"
Su Mo nodded.
It was time for him and Bai Zhi to go with Granny Suzhan to find the elixir, but before going to find the elixir, he first came to the old madman to fulfill his agreement.
The old madman sighed softly, "That's fine."
"If you have a reason to pursue your own problems, maybe you can also find your own problems when you seek the meaning of elixir."
"When you find your own doubts, maybe I can also find a plant to express my feelings for."
"You can come find me then."
The old madman waved his hand, "Go ahead."
Su Mo nodded and exited the cliff cave. The vast scenery of the fairy furnace was still in front of him.
However, Su Mo felt a sense of illusion in his heart for some reason.
Raising his hand to look at it, Su Mo gave a bitter smile, took a step forward and disappeared...
When Su Mo left, the old madman also walked out of the cliff cave. The gentle breeze blew the old madman's messy white hair.
The old madman looked up at the sky and sighed deeply, "What has been done must be done again, and what has been done must be done again..."
"How can there be a strange flower in this world that you have seen but never seen in this world?"
"Perhaps the answer to your own problem has always been in the question."
"It's just you and me, we've never met..."
The swaying clouds surged with confusion that Bai Yi could not solve himself, seeming to make the scenery among the floating clouds even more mysterious.
