"After you all ascend to the Purple Rank, there will be a special cultivation center and cultivation academy. At that time, you will have to leave the Linlan Pavilion and go to the outside world to continue your cultivation career. ”

Without answering Liuyun's question, Mr. Guo threw down the sentence and walked out of the enchantment.

On a cold winter night, from time to time, there are a few winds mixed with a hint of cold air, coming towards you.

Mr. Guo walked on the bare forest path, slowly raised his hand, and covered his chest.

The dull pain in his chest gradually spread throughout his chest, and Mr. Guo stretched out a big hand to hold the tree trunk on the side, gently slowing down his breathing, which had become slightly rapid due to the sudden dull pain.

Mr. Guo slowly sat down against the edge of the tree and looked up at the moon, which seemed very lonely in the vast night sky.

Looking at it, it was as if I vaguely saw that the moon was printed on my own face.

Originally, there were many stars around the moon.

Only later......

Mr. Guo's dark eyes flashed the shadows of many people.

The companions who had established the Qingyan Gate with him...... and the hard-tempered girl who is stubborn and never admits defeat...... Afterward......

In the silent winter night, a soft sigh gradually rose with the exhaled white haze until it gradually disappeared and melted into this cold night.

Conspiracy...... Dark waves surge...... Hatred...... The revenge of the heart...... Hesitation struggling on the edge of reason...... A decision in a thought...... And, that last bitterness......

It seems that in the end, those who are the most energetic, the most energetic, and full of infinite hope for life and reality have dissipated with the wind.

And now, only the last few people are left.

and, endless remorse accompanied each and every one of the last days of their lives.

Is it a punishment?

He didn't know if it was a punishment or not. All he knew was that the feeling of powerlessness and helplessness drove him mad when he couldn't sleep every autumn night, when bitterness and sourness filled his entire heart.

He also knew that every time he repeated the same nightmare, he still hesitated, trembled, and was full of pain as he held the hand that had stabbed the clear wood arrow into the man's chest.

If you could do it all over again......

Bitter laughter gradually resounded in the silent and panicked night.

It's just that he knows that when he starts to regret the same thing and looks forward to the opportunity to do it again, it means that the incident has been drawn to an end forever.

It's just that he was reluctant to draw that full stop, but he was helpless.

There's no going back.

......

Since there was a breakthrough in his cultivation last night, Liuyun obviously felt that today's cultivation was very different from yesterday's when there was no rank promotion.

First of all, now that he has brought out the energy from the life stone to use it for cultivation and the initiation of magic techniques, the control and transformation of energy has become more handy.

Not only that, but after the promotion was successful, he seemed to be able to feel that his spiritual power had also improved a little. Although the increase is so small that you won't notice it if you don't even pay attention to it, it's enough to satisfy Liuyun.

A small fireball that kept making some popping sounds slowly condensed in Liuyun's hand. It's just that it still hasn't had time to be completely compressed and formed, and with a crisp sound of "pop", it dissipates in the center of the small palm.

Still can't be compressed to the end......

Liuyun stood still, maintaining the same position as before, frowning as if he was thinking about something.

Then he entered into the repeated failed attempts.

......

As the days passed, Liuyun's Flame Explosion Technique and Silent Technique both made slight progress, but the growth was not large.

Mr. Guo stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the boy in the distance with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. I saw that the boy's eyes were slightly closed, and a crackling fireball quickly condensed in his hand, and the boy's dark eyes opened suddenly, looking directly at the big tree in the distance in front of him. It's just that as soon as the fireball came out of his hand, it exploded.

A scorching smell wafted through the air, and Liuyun glanced at Mr. Guo, a trace of embarrassment crossed his eyes.

"I'll take a look at the solitude technique. ”

Mr. Guo's deep voice came from a distance.

Liuyun answered, and then folded his hands, constantly changing his handprints.

In the moment when the handprint changed, the space around the boy's body gradually underwent some subtle distortions. Faintly, some strange currents of water can be seen sliding out slowly and strangely like the writhing body of a snake. It's just that the water serpent, like the fireball, turned into a cloud of mist as it advanced around the flowing clouds.

"It's already good. ”

Mr. Guo gently comforted the boy in front of him.

In fact, the congenital life stone is broken...... Without relying on any external force, he was able to reach the final step of compressing the energy mass of the entity by his own continuous practice...... It's already very unusual.

Looking at the boy in front of him, Mr. Guo remembered countless nights in Linkun Water Cave, where the boy had been silently trying countless failures alone.

It was as if I had never seen discouragement in his eyes.

I saw him raise his head, and his eyes were still dotted with stars.

"Well, I'll keep trying. ”

Then he closed his eyes again and entered the Zhou Tian of the energy cycle, and after the energy was fully restored, the magic formula that continued to fail was released.

Watching the two boys on the training ground practice separately, the various sounds that kept sounding gradually made this empty training ground a little lively.

Mr. Guo raised his eyes and glanced at the big sun hanging in the sky.

It's almost New Year......

He took a deep look at the young man in the pale green robe in the distance.

Mr. Guo's eyes revealed a hint of mixed emotions.

The child's big eyes flashed with earnestness, and a small tear mole in the right corner of his eye was faintly visible as the little face kept turning.

He is different from Liuyun, Liuyun's skin is a wheat complexion, while Chu Nanhe, who has also been training together in the sun for a long time, has always maintained a fair complexion.

The height is relatively half a head shorter than the flowing cloud on the side, and the body is much thinner than the flowing cloud not far away. The slender wrist is constantly swinging and changing, and the small body is full of energy hidden between the movements.

Mr. Guo looked at Chu Nanhe, who was training seriously under the sun.

I remembered when the child was more than a year old......

The big family, which was originally very prominent, was slaughtered overnight.

If it weren't for the child's mother who secretly hid him in the secret compartment at the bottom of the well before she died, and then used her life to attract the attention of those ruthless killers, I am afraid that Chu Nanhe would have died in that deep mansion compound at that time.

At that time, Mr. Guo was not as committed to living in this small Linlan Pavilion as he is now, and he has been a shopkeeper for many years after opening Linlan Pavilion.
