Chapter 334 Inquiry about Internal and External Affairs

"Our Luan Bird lineage is the closest to the Phoenix. The power and variability of our two characteristics are not inferior to those of the Phoenix. We have always been the largest group, so we have some advantages in internal competition. In addition, the leader of our lineage has broken through to the Illusion Realm, so he became the Palace Master."

"However, because we do not have an absolute advantage and do not have the suppressive effect of the Phoenix Map on other branches, the major branches have always been at odds with each other. The most important thing is that the strength of the Illusion Realm cultivated by the Luan Bird branch is average, and cannot compete with the other three major sects, which further damages the prestige of the new Palace Master."

"To the point that the Palace Master can no longer suppress other branches. If this continues, our palace will completely collapse within 30 years. Only by getting the Phoenix Map can this problem be solved."

Hong Luan said everything that should and should not be said.

"Within 30 years? Why?" Chen Nuo asked.

"Because the Palace Master has a maximum lifespan of 30 years."

At this point, Hong Luan was shocked, covered her mouth tightly, looked at Chen Nuo in horror, and even tears came out of her eyes.

Abbot Jingxin, who was standing next to him, looked at the scene that seemed like bullying a child, his mouth twitched, then he lowered his eyebrows and recited Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

Chen Nuo touched his chin.

"What is the life span of a martial artist of the True Qi Martial Arts? Is there a conclusion?"

Chen Nuo asked. When he broke through the Abnormal Vision Realm, he could feel the growth of his vitality, but he had no idea how long he could live and what the average value was.

Hongluan stammered, "The True Qi Realm is usually comparable to the life span of the Zang Fu Realm, and can live to 120 years old, two Jiazi years old. The Mind Realm is like the Explosion Blood Realm, and can live to 150 years old. As for the Abnormal Vision Realm, according to the Palace Master, it can live to 180 years old, but hidden injuries and the like will affect the life span. That's why the Palace Master..."

Chen Nuo was thoughtful.

It seems that the True Qi Martial Arts has more advantages than the Qi and Blood Martial Arts in prolonging life.

When in the True Qi Realm, it can already be comparable to the Zang Fu Realm in prolonging life.

The Vision Realm can live thirty years longer than the Explosion Blood Realm, half a century!

But... hidden injuries?

What nonsense?

Chen Nuo felt his body, the source blood level of Qi and blood flushing, the characteristic of true Qi nourishment, where is the hidden injury?

Hidden injuries generally refer to minor injuries that are difficult to heal inside the body, but Qi and blood or true Qi are extremely able to nourish the body after reaching a high level. For example, the Explosion Blood can even barely restore the limbs. Such a body will not have hidden injuries in the ordinary sense.

Unless the so-called hidden injuries refer to some special breakthrough secrets that permanently damage the body, special toxins or heart diseases, etc.

Otherwise, those hidden injuries in the ordinary sense will not affect the life span of people in this realm.

In other words, if there are hidden injuries that can affect life span, it is impossible to break through to the Explosion Blood or Vision.

Chen Nuo's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he was distracted and finished reading the letter in his hand.

After reading it, Chen Nuo looked at the baby fist-sized gold mixed with red in his hand and was somewhat silent.

This thing is called Phoenix Blood Gold. According to legend, it is the blood of a phoenix that fell into a mine and was nurtured by the earth for a long time. It can greatly speed up the progress of people who practice the Phoenix Diagram, and even make it easier for practitioners to comprehend the characteristics of the Phoenix Diagram.

Of course, it can also be used for forging. Even if it is made by ordinary craftsmen, it can have a scorching flame effect. If it is made into a blood weapon...

This thing is one of the items that the Phoenix Palace Master wants to exchange with him. He can give ten pieces first, and then ten pieces every year in the future, and it will be paid in ten years.

That is one hundred and ten pieces of Phoenix Blood Gold.

In addition, there are other conditions: send five masters of the mind realm to serve Chen Nuo for ten years; agree to a reasonable request from Chen, even if it is a request for Phoenix Palace to send troops; and be willing to assist Chen to expand its strength to the Southern Wilderness, if Chen Nuo has this intention...

To be fair, the conditions given by the Phoenix Palace Master are quite generous.

But it is precisely because of this that Chen Nuo has other ideas in his mind, especially when someone in the Phoenix Palace dares to do such a thing as holding his mother and a woman hostage!

This made Chen Nuo even more upset.

Chen Nuo probably understood what the Phoenix Palace Master meant. She probably felt that she was in the Vision Realm. She had the strength to be an ally and talk to him on an equal footing, but she did not have the power to suppress him. Therefore, by showing such sincerity, Chen Nuo could stop when he saw the good, and there would be no need for other involvement.

But is Chen Nuo in the normal Vision Realm?

Chen Nuo blinked, combined with what Hong Luan said, and the vague sense of urgency in the letter...

He guessed that the situation in the Phoenix Palace might be worse than he thought!

If he took advantage of this opportunity to enter the Phoenix Palace...

Chen Nuo closed his eyes and tapped the back of the chair gently.

It made a crisp sound.

Jingxin Abbot recited Buddhist scriptures, and Hong Luan calmed down.

At this time.

Outside, the sound of bells rang.

It was the little monk who saw that it was noon and started to ring the bell again.

Chen Nuo opened his eyes and looked at the two of them, "Abbot, Miss Hongluan, it's time, why don't we eat first?"

He was obviously a guest, but he felt like the host, and Abbot Jingxin and Hongluan didn't feel strange.

...

The food was divided into two categories.

Vegetarian food such as radish, green vegetables and tofu, and meat food such as pork, chicken and medicinal herbs.

That's right.

There was meat here.

According to Abbot Jingxin, how can you practice the way of martial monks without eating meat? If you can practice it without eating meat, then what kind of martial arts is that?

Moreover, the meaning of meat is not just meat, but stimulating ingredients such as green onions and star anise.

Meat that is not killed by them can be eaten.

Of course, normal chanting monks are still not allowed to eat meat, and eating meat is limited to martial monks.

And Abbot Jingxin happened to be practicing the way of martial monks, the Eight Vajra Kungfu, and even the realm of tendons and bones.

Although Chen Nuo was not interested in this, he listened to it. Moreover, as they chatted, Chen Nuo found that Abbot Jingxin seemed to have some chance.

Ordinary people in the realm of tendons and bones cannot withstand the attack of masters in the realm of mind, let alone knock out a master in the realm of mind.

There must be a secret in him!

Chen Nuo did not hide anything. He took advantage of the break after dinner to ask directly, "How did the abbot stop the two thieves?"

"I see that the abbot's Qi and Blood Martial Arts is only at the Muscle and Bones Realm?"

In response, Abbot Jingxin chanted a Buddhist name and said very frankly, "Donor, I am indeed only at the Muscle and Bones Realm, but this is only the external appearance of my cultivation."

"In addition to the external appearance, I also have the internal appearance."

"External appearance? Internal appearance?"
