Chapter 19: The Old Man and His Healing (Part II)
But it was said that Zhao Lingzhu had found his benefactor, and he was chatting with the old man Zhenghuan, one was grateful and had a pure heart, and the other was charitable and peaceful. The two of them talked about some old things in reality, and they all lamented that the cause and effect of the past were destiny. Later, the old man learned that Zhao Lingzhu had also practiced alchemy, and he was even more happy to see the hunt, so he opened the conversation.
The old man has been obsessed with alchemy all his life, of course, it is not comparable to a fledgling guy like Zhao Lingzhu, the old man also has a wealth of experience in his life, Zhao Lingzhu heard him narrate some anecdotes, and he was also fascinated, and before he knew it, half a day had passed. Zhao Lingzhu counted the time for a while, and unconsciously had been wandering away from the stack for a long time, and it seemed that he didn't have much time to go to connect with the "Baimu" Taoist.
At this time, in the face of Zhao Lingzhu, a well-behaved and very good little guy, he was already treated as his own junior, and began to tell his understanding of alchemy.
"Spirit Sword, you can already identify the alchemy monk by observing the pill, this is already an extremely good skill, you are also extremely talented, the old decay does not have your eleventh at this time, but it is the cultivation that is not important to me and other alchemists that restricts your development, but you are not a simple alchemist, so there is no need to rush, every step is stable and solid is what you should do." …… However, it's a pity, the old man can't open the furnace anymore, otherwise he really wants to study the Danli with the Spirit Sword, so that there will be no regrets, but in the end, it still won't work......" The old man said, his voice was low, as a monk who has been obsessed with alchemy all his life, but he can't refine the pill again, the old man's heart is very painful.
Zhao Lingzhu only remembered at this time that he had already discovered that the old man had an injury, but he had not confirmed it, and it was also because the relationship between the old man and Zhao Lingzhu was not so close, even if Zhao Lingzhu did not talk much, but gradually in-depth conversation, Zhao Lingzhu found that this kind old man may really treat himself as a junior, not to mention that the old man had saved himself and Uncle Ji, Zhao Lingzhu no longer suppressed his curiosity, and chose to ask the old man the reason for his injury.
"How did the seniors get hurt? I don't think the senior's injury was caused by an external force, so what is the reason? ”
"Is this ......" The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth.
Old Man Wei was originally an alchemist in Beichen Prefecture, and he was able to refine the elixir of the peak of the Earth Immortals, and he was also well-known in the huge Beichen Prefecture, if it weren't for the fact that he was a casual cultivator, there was no teacher behind him, and he didn't devote himself to some forces, his ability might have been further improved. It is precisely because of this that the old man who stayed at the path of the immortal-level alchemist decided to go out to seek an opportunity, in order to find a way to break through, that is, in this outing, the old man passed by the Yanshan area, and met Ji Haiyi by chance, laying the cause and effect for the acquaintance with Zhao Lingzhu.
Finally three years ago, the old man seized some insights, the opportunity was fleeting, although the old man's preparation was not very sufficient, but he still decided to forcibly open the furnace, in order to refine a furnace of heavenly elixir, break through himself, but the bottleneck is not so easy to break through, the old man's lack of preparation paid the price, refining soon showed a decline, but the opportunity is hard to find, the old man is not so easy to give up people, the old man decided to forcibly refine, at the cost of overdrawing his own vitality, temporarily gain stronger strength, When it becomes natural, it will break through the current level, and it will soon be able to cultivate further, and at that time, the little vitality at any time can be quickly restored, as for failure, countless monks who have broken through failure have taken their own endings as a lesson and warned those who come after, but the monks are still eager to do this, and the battle of the avenue is endless.
However, the result is obvious, the old man has failed, and the vitality is overdrawn, and the aging body is like a leaky crockpot, and the vitality slips out of the body little by little, and it is difficult to stop it no matter what. In the past three years, the old man has made countless struggles, with the wealth of his earth immortal peak, it is not impossible to ask the heavenly immortal to take action, but his injury is not even a heavenly immortal, and for the higher level of the monk, the old man is not worth mentioning, there is no way, the old man can only rely on himself, and the result is just to be able to die and struggle, and today it is already the end of the strong crossbow.
The old man said, although helpless and unwilling, but there is no remorse, the boat against the current does not advance or retreat, the monk and the sky for their lives, no success is just their own lack of effort, bad luck, there is nothing to complain about, the old man only holds deep regret. Zhao Lingzhu listened thoughtfully, to be honest, Zhao Lingzhu actually has the means to treat the old man, this method is shocking, imagine that after all, a problem that is difficult for ordinary immortals to solve is solved by his little Purple Mansion monk is enough to be amazing, if it is known by someone with a heart, Zhao Lingzhu will not recover after all.
But the old man is not an ordinary person, it seems that he meets in the water, but in fact, Zhao Lingzhu feels that he owes the old man a life, and Zhao Lingzhu thinks that he is unforgettable, so if Zhao Lingzhu can be the old man, even if he risks exposing some secrets, it is not unavoidable, such as the two biggest secrets on Zhao Lingzhu's body, one is the Mangya Star Rune, and the other is the mysterious space. If the means obtained from the Mangya Star Rune can help the old man of Decay Wei, even if the Mangya Star Rune involves some Three Realms Secrets, Zhao Lingzhu is not impossible to try, but no, Zhao Lingzhu's means come from the mysterious space, to be precise, one of his own clones has the ability to save the old man of Decay Wei.
Zhao Lingzhu has always been tight-lipped about the mysterious space, and has not been exposed at all, because he also realized that this thing is no longer shocking and can be described, and it will simply fall apart as soon as it appears. With the improvement of cultivation knowledge, Zhao Lingzhu also set out to investigate the source of the mysterious space, but the more he knew, the more jealous Zhao Lingzhu became, because Zhao Lingzhu realized that this might really involve some taboos. Outside the Heavens, even those truly immortal and immortal peerless powerhouses in the Three Realms are very taboo about this, Zhao Lingzhu clearly knows that if the news of his mysterious space is leaked, then he will have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Zhao Lingzhu hesitated precisely because of these.
Zhao Lingzhu's silence was a little abrupt, which made it easy for the old man to find out Zhao Lingzhu's distraction, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that this kind-hearted and sensitive little guy was sad for himself, and he was very relieved, but instead he opened his mouth to comfort Zhao Lingzhu: "Good boy, don't be sad for me, aren't all monks like this?" It's just a body death, the true spirit has indeed not dissipated, and after walking through the Santu River, it can be reincarnated again. ”
Zhao Lingzhu was even more sad when he heard this, the monk knew that the place of reincarnation was in the Netherworld, and after drinking Meng Po soup, it was indeed possible to return to the Yang World after washing away the previous dust, but it was difficult to say whether he was himself or not, what was there to be thankful for? Listening to the old man's words, Zhao Lingzhu felt even more guilty, the old man said that he had saved his life, but for his own sake, Zhao Lingzhu was still hesitant to save the old man, it was really ......
"Hahaha, don't say it, don't say it" The old man saw Zhao Lingzhu's small mouth deflated, his eyes were red, and he looked like a child who was about to cry, and he didn't feel it in his heart, he liked this child he just met from the bottom of his heart, but his time was short, there was no need to make Zhao Lingzhu sad for himself, so he hurriedly spoke: "Lingjian, didn't you say that you still want to go to Beichenzhou County?" I'm afraid it's hard for Qingchou Jian to catch up with the gang, I'm afraid the time is coming, go quickly, go ......"
Saying that, the old man no longer looked at Zhao Lingzhu, drank the last tea, waved his sleeves, and wanted to go out.
Zhao Lingzhu saw that he was already sad here, but he didn't hesitate anymore, as for everything else, he would leave it for later consideration, at this time, Zhao Lingzhu just blurted out: "Seniors stay, I have a way to treat the seniors' injuries!" ”
The old man turned his head suddenly, and his momentum was inadvertently released, but the peak cultivation of the earth immortal was fully revealed, thinking about it day and night, isn't this what the immortal Wei is looking for?
