Chapter 52: The Past
Since worshiping Elder Mo as his teacher, Gu Chen has been cultivating alone with Elder Mo in the back mountain every day, during this period, Gu Chen's cultivation has been improving, and a year later, Gu Chen is completely stuck in the late stage of the Huadan Realm, no matter how he cultivates, he can't break this hurdle.

On this day, Gu Chen asked Elder Mo for a day off under the persuasion of Lei Shi, and it was still the back mountain of the academy, but this time there was one more Yuexi, and the two of them were lying on Lei Shi's back, and in just an instant, Lei Shi appeared a hundred miles away.
"Wow, I haven't come out for a long time, I'm about to suffocate to death, why did you just come out now, little brother? I'm almost suffocated" Yuexi said.
Gu Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I've been cultivating recently, so I don't have time."
"Cultivation, you don't look at what realm you are in now, if you didn't worship Elder Namo as a teacher at that time, maybe you should have crossed the tribulation now," Lei Shi said disdainfully.
"I know, but Elder Mo also said that when cultivating, you can't be too fast, otherwise it will cause the Dao foundation to be unstable, if the Dao foundation is not stable, compared with people of the same realm, you will be much better than the other party, the old man also said before" Gu Chen said in a low voice.
"Alas, in fact, your cultivation speed is already very fast, maybe I'm too demanding," Lei Shi said sadly.
Lei Shi has always had an obsession in his heart, when he saw the black-robed man slaughtering the entire person at the top of Tianlan, the master also died tragically in that massacre, the black-robed man has a very high realm, and Lei Shi has always had to gain strong strength and do something for the top of Tianlan.
"Is there anything you asked me to come out for?" Gu Chen asked.
"Your current realm is already difficult to improve by cultivation alone, and if you want to break through, you must rely on fighting," Lei Shi said.
"I know, when I go back, I will ask Elder Mo for a lot of tasks, but I also asked before, Elder Mo has never let me take the task, this time after I go back, I will start to take the task" Gu Chen said.
The time of the day passed quickly, this day Gu Chen did not cultivate, playing with Yuexi, but Lei Shi just quietly lay on the side and watched the two.
In the early morning of the second day, Gu Chen found Elder Mo and said, "I want to take on the task, my current realm has been stagnant and I can't break through, I want to break through in battle." ”
"No," Elder Mo rejected Gu Chen.
"Why, since I worshipped you as a teacher, I have been cultivating almost all of my time, and I don't have time to accept any tasks at all, even the students whose realm is even lower than me have already begun to carry out tasks," Gu Chen said dissatisfied.
"If I say no, I won't do it, I'll naturally tell you when I need you to take over the task, and now you can cultivate with peace of mind," Elder Mo left after finishing speaking.
This time, Gu Chen did not compromise, and directly found the dean to explain the situation, and after listening to it, the dean said to Gu Chen, "Do you really want to accept the task?"
"Yes," Gu Chen replied without hesitation.
"Okay, you listen to me tell me a story first, thirty years ago, I went to the Jiuchuan Domain with Elder Mo to experience outside the realm of Jiuchuan, at that time we were full of enthusiasm, and vowed to break out of the world, and after three years of training outside, we killed the demonic beasts all the way, and when we passed through a small village, we found that this small village was besieged by demonic beasts. ”
"Elder Mo and I fought with the Warcraft to save the village, but the Warcraft group is too large, after a day of fighting, most of the Warcraft were killed by us, but because the two of us are weak, after blocking and killing most of the Warcraft, the people in the village were also slaughtered by the Warcraft, in the ruins, Elder Mo found a baby boy, which was the only surviving child in the village. “
"Elder Mo doted on this baby boy and his doting, and adopted him as his adopted son, named Mo Ran, this Mo Ran is really a good seedling of cultivation, cultivated at the age of three, reached the peak of the Blood Spirit Realm at the age of six, and had already reached the late stage of the Dan Fetal Realm at the age of ten, only one step away from the Yuan Shen Realm. ”
"Mo Ran's reputation spread throughout the Jiuchuan Domain, at that time, the Jiuchuan Domain was even more chaotic than now, there were many forces that rose up to unify the Jiuchuan Domain, and the first step to unify the Jiuchuan Domain was to devour various forces, and my Jiuchuan Academy was also attacked by many forces at that time. ”
"My academy is also struggling to fight, Mo Ran led the five hundred disciples of the academy to block the forces that inspired the war, Mo Ran at that time was called the god of war, he had never been defeated, and led the five hundred disciples to sweep all the way. ”
"Mo Ran's existence made many forces feel threatened, and in a blockade, the team led by Mo Ran was blocked and killed by the combined forces, including five people in the Yuan Shen Realm period, dozens of people in the Dan Fetal Realm stage, and hundreds of people in the Hua Dan Realm stage jointly blocked and killed Mo Ran. ”
The team of five hundred people was wiped out overnight, Mo Ran fought back, bombarding and killing two people in the Yuan Shen Realm, dozens of people in the Dan Fetal Realm, and hundreds of people below the Dan Fetal Realm, Mo Ran fought back all the way and fled all the way, and finally hit the united forces hard, Mo Ran also returned to the academy, but because he was surrounded and suppressed by hundreds of people, Mo Ran's foundation and soul consciousness were severely damaged in the battle, and he died shortly after returning to the academy. ”
After Mo Ran passed away, Elder Mo left the academy for a year, looking for the people who had stopped Mo Ran, within a year, Elder Mo killed hundreds of people, completely defeating the existence of the united forces, after returning to the academy, Elder Mo's temperament changed greatly, and he began to retreat, and he never accepted any disciples in the past twenty years, you are the first of Mo Then, maybe Elder Mo just doesn't want you to take risks" The dean said solemnly.
"Mo Ran" Gu Chen read in a low voice, after listening to the dean's story, Gu Chen said goodbye to the dean and slowly walked to the back mountain.
Back in the mountain, Elder Mo stood there quietly, looking into the distance, Gu Chen didn't bother Elder Mo, just sat quietly in the distance and watched Elder Mo, at this time Gu Chen had a trace of sourness in his heart, Elder Mo didn't let himself take the task in fact, he just didn't want to have an accident.
"Master" Gu Chen approached Elder Mo and called, this is the first time Gu Chen has opened his mouth to call Master, in the past, Gu Chen only called Elder Mo, sometimes it was an old man, but this time Gu Chen called Master from the heart.
Gu Chen once thought that only Fu Chixing was his real master, but from the moment he heard about Elder Mo's past, Gu Chen decided to worship Elder Mo as his teacher.
Hearing the word master, Elder Mo turned to look at Gu Chen in surprise and said, "Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" Didn't you say that you have a master?"
"Yes, then you are my second master" Gu Chen said with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he knelt down to Elder Mo and bowed to him.
Elder Mo smiled and said, "Suddenly, is there something wrong?" Say, don't do these useless things. ”
"I want to take on the task," Gu Chen said seriously.
"No way, you can do anything but take on tasks. Boss Mo Chang said with a face.
"Master, if Mo Ran is still here, will you stop him?" Gu Chen said.
Hearing Mo Ran's words, the expression on Elder Mo's face suddenly disappeared, and he stood in place in a daze, and all the past events came to an eye in an instant, and Elder Mo read stupidly, "Mo Ran, master is sorry for you." ”
"You didn't feel sorry for Mo Ran, that was his decision, although Mo Ran died in battle, but he was brilliant, he fought for the academy and for you, I believe that if Mo Ran was given a chance, he would still choose to fight" Gu Chen said.
"You're not Mo Ran, why do you say that?" Elder Mo scolded.
"Yes, I'm not Mo Ran, I can never be Mo Ran, so why do you restrict me, you just see Mo Ran's shadow in me, you don't really want to take me as an apprentice at all, you just treat me as Mo Ran. Gu Chen roared hysterically.
The first time, this was the first time Gu Chen had been so angry, he didn't expect that Elder Mo was willing to accept himself as an apprentice, just treating himself as another person.
After saying all this to Elder Mo, Gu Chen walked away without looking back, and after walking a short distance, Gu Chen turned his head and said, "Since you have never wanted to really accept me, then you don't have to worry about me in the future, and I am not your apprentice, thank you for teaching me over the past year" Gu Chen bowed to Elder Mo and walked towards his dormitory.
Gu Chen thought in his heart, since he had made it clear to Elder Mo, he would go to the academy tomorrow to receive the task, he was already too far behind the other students, even An Yi had already performed no less than five missions, but he had not even completed the original task once.
Early the next morning, Gu Chen and An Yi came to the task collection office of the college, "I want to take the task," Gu Chen said.
"Take out the Phantom Stone," said the man at the task distribution office.
"What is the Phantom Spirit Stone?" Gu Chen said as he looked at An Yi with a blank expression.
An Yi smiled awkwardly and said to the people at the task distribution office, "It's the first time he's coming to get the task, and he doesn't have a phantom spirit stone yet." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a new silly boy," the person at the task distribution office said with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he handed Gu Chen a square stone and said, "Drop a drop of essence blood on the phantom spirit stone, if you don't accept a task in the future, there will be a record on the phantom spirit stone."
Gu Chen dripped a drop of essence blood on the phantom spirit stone, and the method of using the phantom spirit stone came to his mind.
"Can I take the task now?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes, but you can only take on tasks below the third level, see for yourself, the tasks are all here" After speaking, he handed over a book.
"Below the third level" Gu Chen silently read and turned to the back, when Gu Chen saw the task after the third level, he almost vomited blood, driving away the demonic beasts next to the village, and some of the demonic beasts didn't even reach the first order.
"Are there any other tasks?, there are some tasks that even people who haven't cultivated can do," Gu Chen asked helplessly.
"Yes, you can take on level 3 quests, but you need to pay the magic core as collateral for each mission, and if you can't complete it, the magic core can't be returned," said the person from the mission distribution office.
Hearing this, Gu Chen began to flip through the tasks above level three, and finally Gu Chen selected five tasks at the third level, and one at the second level and said, "Okay, I'll choose these tasks." ”
The man took one look and said, "Pay three hundred cores, and you can get these tasks."
"Poof" Gu Chen almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and only then did he start to take on the task and have to pay so many magic cores.
Gu Chen looked at An Yi helplessly.
An Yi had no choice but to take out thirty magic crystals and said, "These tasks are not only available to you, but also to others, if they are completed, then this magic crystal will not be able to retreat." ”
"I know, wait for my good news," Gu Chen finished speaking, and then took the magic crystal and handed it to the task distribution office. After receiving the task, Gu Chen planned to set off early the next morning, so he took An Yi and walked towards the dormitory.
