Chapter 55 Tuogu

Zhao Zhen was lying on a red sandalwood bed. His gray hair and beard were now as dry as grass, and the aura of the setting sun filled the whole room.

Hearing someone entering the room, he turned his head with difficulty and saw Zhou Yiqiao, who had reached the level of foundation building. Zhao Zhen took the first step to speak.

"Brother Zhou has achieved great success in cultivating Taoism. At such a young age, he has already established a foundation. In the future, it may be possible to become a real person with golden elixir. I would like to congratulate him in advance."

After saying this, he coughed violently.

You must know that people who cultivate immortality are immune to all diseases, so Zhao Zhen would react like this. It seems that the vitality in his body is weak, and he barely used his spiritual power to maintain his last breath.

Zhou Yiqiao hurriedly stepped forward and introduced his strong spiritual power from the foundation-building stage into Zhao Zhen's body. With the support of such spiritual power, Zhao Zhen's withered face barely regained a little life.

Thinking about the scene when the other party was radiant the last time they met, Zhou Yiqiao, who was still frightened, could not help but frown and said.

"Brother Zhao can cultivate with peace of mind. There are many spiritual objects in the world of immortality that can prolong life. When I find the spiritual objects for my elder brother, you still have a lot of time to enjoy the life of leisurely clouds and wild cranes."

Zhao Zhen chuckled lightly, no longer caring about life or death.

"Brother Zhou, there is no need to be comforted. The vitality in the old man's body was cut off ten years ago. This is already the result of the old man taking the secret medicine left by my father and adding ten years to his life."

"Old man is not the ancestor of the Liu family. He is greedy for life and afraid of death. Things that extend life are so rare. If you use them on Lao Chen, a Qi Refining monk, it will be a waste of natural resources."

"If I hadn't been worried about Le Xin's failure, I would have used the life-extending spiritual object to exchange for resources for him."

"Now that Le Xin has successfully entered the outer gate, it is better for me, an old man, to take it easy and leave more cultivation resources for him."

Zhao Lexin has been standing aside in silence. His biological parents went hunting and were killed by monsters shortly after he was born. From the time he can remember, he was brought up by his great uncle Zhao Zhen.

Seeing Zhao Zhen dying, Zhao Lexin was filled with tears and cried silently.

"Le Xin, you go out and watch the wind first. Uncle, I still have something to say to you, Senior Brother Zhou, alone."

Zhao Zhen ordered in a warm voice. If he hadn't looked haggard at this moment, he would still look like an amiable ancestor.

Zhao Lexin naturally did not dare to refuse Zhao Zhen's request, wiped her tears and quickly left the room.

"Brother Zhou."

Seeing Zhao Lexin leaving the house, Zhao Zhen struggled to get up and called Zhou Yiqiao softly.

Zhou Yiqiao understood what the other party meant. After lifting him up, he used a magic technique to create a soundproof ban, completely blocking the possibility of Zhao Lexin eavesdropping.

"Brother Zhao, it doesn't matter."

Understanding that Zhao Zhen wanted to explain the funeral arrangements, Zhou Yiqiao said with a serious face.

Zhao Zhen sighed and looked at Zhou Yiqiao Road with cloudy eyes.

"Brother Zhou has outstanding talent and great luck. His achievements in the future will be limitless. I hope you can take care of Le Xin after I go to the west."

"Brother Zhao, what are you talking about? I have already made an oath of heaven, how could I go back on my word?"

"What's more, Brother Zhao has been helping me so much over the years. Without Brother Zhao's help, I don't know how many detours I would have taken and how many lives I would have lost!"

"This is both emotional and reasonable. Even if Brother Zhao doesn't say anything, I will definitely protect Junior Brother Zhao from the disputes within the sect."

Zhou Yiqiao vowed, stood up and stood aside, his words were extremely sincere.

Although he puts profit first and is unkind and ungrateful, he also knows how to reciprocate kindness to those who are kind to him.

With a smile on his face, Zhao Zhen took out the storage bag on the side and handed it to Zhou Yiqiao.

"Of course I know that Brother Zhou is not the kind of person who breaks his word."

"These things will be useless after I leave. It's better to leave them to me and find a wise master."

Zhou Yiqiao took the storage bag, penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, felt the rich resources in the storage bag, and quickly refused.

"It can't be like this. Brother Zhao has helped me a lot over the years. I already deserve it. It's better to leave these resources to Junior Brother Zhao."

Seeing that Zhao Zhen wanted to warn him to accept it, Zhou Yiqiao spoke again.

"Brother Zhao, there is no need to say more. I will make my own decision for my eldest brother."

"The items in this storage bag are indeed too precious for the current Junior Brother Zhao. I will keep some of them for him and bring them to the later stage of Qi Refining for Junior Brother Zhao before delivering them to him."

Zhao Zhen had been with Zhou Yiqiao for many years and knew that he could no longer persuade him. After thinking for a moment, a jade slip appeared in his hand that was shaped like a dead tree.

"In this case, I will no longer force my brother."

"I heard from Lexin that Brother Zhou had just built the foundation and left the seclusion. From my understanding, it would be impossible for me to practice the foundation-building technique that was restricted by the sect in the Scripture Collection Pavilion because of my great ambitions. The fragments left by my father must be very suitable. Brother."

With that said, Zhao Zhen handed the jade slip into Zhou Yiqiao's hands.

"My father only told me that this is a fragment containing excellent foundation-building techniques. Unfortunately, I have never been able to advance to foundation-building techniques, and I have never been able to view the contents."

"Brother, please don't refuse this thing again. Even if this technique is not suitable for my spiritual roots, you can still exchange it with others."

Zhou Yiqiao put the jade slip between his eyebrows, and in an instant, the magic spell called "Seven Killings of Breaking the Cocoon" came into his mind.

After he browsed through the entire technique, he smiled and said to Zhao Zhen.

"This technique is very suitable for me. I really lack a suitable technique now, so I won't refuse."

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao finally accept something, Zhao Zhen smiled. He and Zhou Yiqiao were equally cautious. If Zhou Yiqiao had no desires and desires, he would not be at ease.

The two talked again, and Zhao Zhen called Zhao Lexin into the house again.

Zhao Zhen swallowed a red pill in front of the two of them, and his haggard body became energetic at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This is a blood-squeezing pill, which maintains normal activities for ten days at the expense of the last vitality in the old body."

"I will use my last moment to take a walk and take a look, and then I will find a pure place to rest on my own. You don't have to worry about it."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen ignored the two of them, humming a little tune in his mouth, and left Zhulufang City leisurely with the eyes of Zhou Yiqiao and the two.

Zhou Yiqiao knew that this was the last image Zhao Zhen wanted to leave in front of Zhao Lexin, so he did not stop him and returned to Jinlian Mountain with Zhao Lexin's sword.

At this time, Zhao Lexin no longer had the simplicity and cleverness that Zhou Yiqiao had seen before, but instead showed caution and alienation everywhere.

He let out a long sigh and said aloud.

"Brother Zhao said that he has prepared magical weapons for you during the Qi refining period, so I will no longer take it upon myself to buy spiritual weapons for you to protect yourself."

"From now on, you will come to me every month to receive a bottle of elixir. If there is hope for foundation-building in the future, senior brother will also prepare a foundation-building elixir for you."

"Junior Brother Zhao must not let down Brother Zhao's good intentions for more than ten years."
