Chapter 6: Hard work and regaining confidence
Night falls.
Xu Yang walked out of the hall feeling refreshed, with a look of joy on his face.
"The Immortality Sutra is indeed powerful. I have only just begun to understand its essence, and my realm has been greatly improved."
Now, he has reached the seventh level of foundation building. Although he is still far from the level of his predecessor, Xu Yang believes that with his extraordinary talent and hard work, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the level of a god.
Xu Yang glanced at the sky.
Now it's night, and it's time to work hard.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar.
Xu Yang felt that even with his eyes closed, he could now find the attic where Qing'er was.
…
…
Desolate mountains and wilderness.
No, now there are only barren mountains, no wild ridges.
The entire mountain range seemed to have been flattened, leaving only bare ground, and looked extremely desolate.
Also, the remaining sword energy here is extremely terrifying and anyone who touches it will be injured, so even the snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding underground have chosen to move away.
Now, this place has become a desolate place.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
In a deep pit.
A miserable figure crawled out from it. In the moonlight, it was vaguely visible that there were a few strips of cloth hanging on its body. Its body was covered in blood, and even some bones were exposed. It looked extremely pitiful.
“Ahem.”
The figure coughed violently twice, and several pieces of debris were coughed out. They were fragments of his internal organs.
"I...I actually survived!"
Xiao Ye lay weakly on the ground, tears streaming down his face, looking like he had survived a disaster.
After resting for a while, Xiao Ye recovered a little. He suddenly remembered his pet, covered his chest, and shouted around: "Xiao Diao, where are you?!"
He picked up the little mink in an abandoned cave when he was a child. After years of living together, the man and the beast had already become like brothers, sharing honor and disgrace. If the little mink died at the hands of that woman's sword, he would be heartbroken!
“Woo woo—”
A wailing sound came from the deep pit.
Xiao Ye looked happy, and without caring about his own injuries, he fell into the deep pit again. Seeing the seriously injured purple beast, he walked over and held it in his arms with a sad face:
"Little Marten, I'm so happy that you're not dead!"
The little mink was also very touched. It didn't expect that its owner would still think of it at this time. Immediately, the man and the beast hugged each other and cried bitterly.
a long time.
The man and the beast finally calmed down.
Xiao Ye stroked Xiao Diao's head and said to himself, "The most urgent thing is to find a place to heal the wounds and see if we can collect some spiritual objects that nourish the soul to wake up Master!"
In his opinion, his master must have exhausted all his soul power in order to protect him, and must be unconscious at this moment.
Unexpectedly, a weak voice came from the jade pendant: "Ahem, disciple, I am very pleased that you still think of me in your heart!"
"Master, you are not asleep!"
Xiao Ye was very excited.
After all, without his master, he would just be an ordinary person and would never be able to escape the pursuit of his enemies!
"Almost. That little girl's talent in swordsmanship is amazing. Even in Zhongzhou, where there are so many geniuses, she probably has a place. If it weren't for this ring that offset some of the sword energy for me, I'm afraid I would have really fallen asleep!"
Li Lao said with lingering fear.
The beautiful figure also appeared in Xiao Ye's mind, and a strange thought came to his heart.
Although the woman attacked him without any reason, he had no intention of revenge. He even thought that a woman as unruly as a wild horse was worth conquering...
"Master, didn't you say that she was my destined one? Why did you suddenly draw your sword and cut me? Did she see through our plan?"
Xiao Ye suppressed his inner restlessness and asked three questions in a row.
You ask me, who should I ask?
Li Lao was also confused. Everything had been calculated well and Tianji had instructed him accordingly. How could something unexpected happen? It couldn't be that Tianji was deceiving him... Li Lao couldn't figure it out, but faced with his disciple's doubts, he had to explain:
"Master, I guess that the woman might be in a bad mood?"
"guess?"
Xiao Ye raised his voice.
"Ahem, disciple, don't worry about these details."
Li Lao's face turned red. He was well versed in the mysteries of heaven. To use the word "guess" was indeed a bit of a tarnish to his identity. In order to regain his disciple's trust, he quickly said, "My soul power has recovered a little, enough to tell you another fortune!"
“Master!”
Xiao Ye was deeply moved.
He once resented his master for secretly absorbing his skills without his permission, but after spending such a long time together, he discovered that his master treated him sincerely and never kept anything from him.
Although he was seriously injured this time because his master miscalculated the destiny, he was still willing to believe in his master!
Xiao Ye waited patiently for a while.
Finally, Li Lao's voice came from the jade pendant: "Disciple, I have calculated that your opportunity is in Qianyuan City!"
Li Lao's voice became increasingly weak, sounding vague, as if it had been sucked dry.
"Where is Qianyuan City?"
Xiao Ye cheered up and decided to get back the lost ground.
"Near Qingming Sect."
Away from the old way.
"..." Xiao Ye was stunned and touched his nose awkwardly, "Master, why is it Qingming Sect again?"
"Where is Qingming Sect? Isn't the area near Qingming Sect what Master is talking about?"
Li Lao replied.
"But Qianyuan City sounds like a city under the jurisdiction of Qingming Sect."
Xiao Ye said with lingering fear after being bitten by a snake.
"Disciple, are you afraid?"
Li Lao asked.
"Master, I didn't..." Xiao Ye was a little stubborn.
“My dear disciple, as a practitioner, you will encounter countless life and death dilemmas in your life!
Indeed, there is great terror between life and death, but there are also great opportunities between life and death!
As long as you take this step, you will benefit greatly!
Just like this time, although you were seriously injured, did you feel that your meridians were widened a lot, and even the speed of absorbing spiritual energy was faster! "
Li Lao's voice resounded through Xiao Ye's heart like a huge bell.
Xiao Ye immediately checked himself and found that just as Li Lao said, his meridians had been widened. As long as his injuries recovered, his combat power would make a qualitative leap.
It seems that the gorgeous woman is really his destined one, and the master’s prediction was correct!
"Master, I'm teaching you a lesson."
Xiao Ye regained his confidence and accepted the teachings with sincerity.
Seeing Xiao Ye's change of mindset, Li Lao finally breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly: "Disciple, remember that only those who have experienced life and death can become strong. Otherwise, you will always be a flower that is carefully cared for and protected, and will be scattered by the wind!"
He knew very well the character of his disciple, who was afraid of difficulties and dangers. Only by giving him some benefits from time to time could he make him continue to practice hard!
The so-called widening of the meridians was nothing more than being injured by the woman's sword energy!
"Master, I have learned your lesson. I will set off now to Qianyuan City!"
Xiao Ye was encouraged by Li Laoyi, and he clenched his fists tightly as if he had taken stimulants.
"Disciple, there is no need to..."
Before Li Lao finished speaking, Xiao Ye interrupted him:
"Master, there is no need to say more. We cultivators are fighting for our lives, how can we waste our time here!"
After saying that, Xiao Ye lowered his head and looked at Xiao Diao, the meaning was self-evident.
Little Marten: “…”
Sensing the resentful emotion coming from the little beast, Li Lao felt a little embarrassed. This excitement... seemed a bit too much!
