Wu Xie was in the invisible sword light, roaring across the night sky.

Looking down, I saw the mountains, rivers and fields under my feet quickly retreating, and the blurred scenery in the darkness in front of me continued to become clear, and then quickly disappeared behind me.

Occasionally, he would see some villages and hear dogs barking; Occasionally I could see the shadow of the town in the distance, and maybe a spark or two, which was the lantern in the hand of the groomer.

Towns and villages appear and disappear quickly. All you can see is the sky overhead.

At this time, the bright moon hangs high, the sparse stars flicker in the faint clouds, he flies in the air, the faint clear light falls on his body, it feels like a person walking under the moon, full of seclusion.

The moonlight gradually moved towards the west, slowly sinking towards the horizon, and when the eastern sky was covered with white fish belly, he could already see the peak shaped like a bull's head in the distance.

That is the gateway of Qingyang Temple, Niutou Mountain.

Three years ago, he set off from here to Sichen Town, walking, taking a boat, and going to sea...... It took about half a month before and after. And now, it only took him half the night to return.

In these short three years, it has been a earth-shaking change for him.

In order to show respect for the sect, Wu Xie dropped his sword light in advance, walked to the bottom of Niutou Mountain Niujiao Peak with his legs, and then walked all the way up the stone steps covered by spells.

The stone steps that made it extremely difficult for the immortal seekers to walk at the beginning were now not hindered to him at all, and he walked up easily.

Walking through the invisible archway, stepping on the cloud bridge leading to the fairy gate, that is, a few steps away, he came to the foot of the fairy mountain.

At this time, the sky has already brightened, and the mountains and forests under the morning light reveal a tranquility that makes people feel peaceful from the depths of the soul, while the huge white jade on the top of the mountain shines in the morning sun.

The ancestral hall suspended in the air was still shining, like a small sun. But when I looked closely, I felt that the light was warm and soft, not dazzling at all.

He walked from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and after walking a short distance, he met the youkai disciple who was patrolling the mountain.

"Huh? Are you a Dharma Protector disciple who has returned from a homeless practice? Why haven't I seen you? A tall and thin monster wearing an overly wide robe, and could even see the ribs through the cuffs, asked in wonder, "Looking at your Taoism, the Hundred Refining Realm has been small, is this planning to go back to the mountain to cultivate?" ”

Wu Xie shook his head with a smile and replied: "I am a beginner disciple Wu Jie, I have been stationed in Sichen Town for the past three years, and now that the situation over there has stabilized, I will come back." ”

"Introductory disciple?!" The monster was startled, its eyes, which had been narrowed like two lines, suddenly widened to almost the size of a pigeon's egg, and the short ears on the top of its head, which I didn't know whether it was a sheep's ear or a deer's ear, shook rapidly, and the tail behind it wagged loudly, "You've only been in the business for less than four years, right?" Four years to achieve success...... You're a monster better than me! ”

Wu Xie was suddenly a little speechless - no matter how fast he progressed, could he still be more like a monster than a monster?

He knew that these monster disciples had always been open-mouthed, and their hearts were outrageously fast, and it was completely boring to deal with them, because it was likely that you were going to die of anger, and they were still ignorant and didn't know what the problem was.

But obviously, the one he met this time, even among the monster disciples, is definitely the best!

"I'm going to meet Master Shaoguang, and we'll talk next time." He hurried away with a polite remark, so as not to be angry for a while.

After walking a few steps, the guy's voice came from behind him: "Okay, let's go!" By the way, you should also work harder in your cultivation, and while Teacher Shaoguang is not old and dead, surpass him as soon as possible! ”

Wu Xie almost fell on his head, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he didn't answer.

Shaoguang Zhenren is a little more serious and old-fashioned, is this guy damning him for the early death of the old man?

He is only less than five hundred years old, and he is simply young and promising as far as a monk is concerned, and he is very early to die of old age!

Shaoguang Zhenren is not always serious and old-fashioned, at least in front of people he looks like, he will try to be kind and kind.

Although, it seems, perhaps...... It's a little weird to look at that, maybe it's because he has been stiff all year round, and the muscles on his face have stiffened, right?

"Sichen Town's affairs, you did a good job." Shaoguang Zhenren nodded and praised, "But compared to the foreign affairs over there, your courage and diligence in cultivation are even more gratifying!" As a division commander, I am so proud of you! ”

Wu Xie hurriedly humbled himself, he was usually hit enough by Jasmine, what "one year to enter the Tao", "a hundred years to become a Dan", "within a thousand years must achieve immortality" and a series of other requirements that seemed to him to be simply ridiculous, but Jasmine said naturally, as if taking this as the standard.

According to her standards, about more than 99% of the disciples in the entire Qingyang Concept will be directly dragged out of the ashes, and the remaining less than one percent is only the level of "unsatisfactory, leave a dog's life for the time being to see the after-effects".

In the past three years, Jasmine and Du Ruo have often talked about these things when they chat, Wu Jie's ears are not deaf, and he doesn't know how much he has listened to the Tao in bits and pieces, so naturally he will not feel that his progress rate is anything to be happy or proud of.

It wasn't until Shaoguang Zhenren said this at this moment that he suddenly woke up - he had crossed the innate realm in the three years of entry, and even the key bottleneck of the Hundred Refining Realm had been passed, as long as he cultivated and accumulated well, he could hit the last level of the three realms of the Dao Entry...... This kind of speed is indeed extremely rare in today's immortal gates!

As the youkai disciple who patrols the mountains said, it's even more like a youkai than a youkai!

Wu Xie didn't hide his mood, what he thought in his heart was completely expressed on his face, Shaoguang Zhenren looked at his puzzled, abrupt, and surprised expression, and couldn't help but be secretly amused.

"Didn't you realize how good you were until now? You're so special! He couldn't help but say, "Maybe it's because you've been practicing alone for the past three years and rarely communicate with your fellow practitioners." ”

"Probably...... Wu Xie replied casually, and then asked, "The disciple is going back to the mountain this time, and he plans to concentrate on cultivating for a period of time to stabilize the realm. I don't know if there is a task to be assigned in the Dao Gate? If so, can the disciple finish it in advance? Or put it back for a while? ”

"It's a good thing that you have to concentrate on cultivation, so why should we bother you? Our Qingyang view has five generations, more than 300 people, even if the sky falls, there are our division commanders on top, we can't stand the ancestors, you can rest assured that you can cultivate! ”

Shaoguang Zhenren was very satisfied with Wu Jie's positive and motivated attitude, and his attitude became more and more kind, and he asked him if he had anything he wanted.

"Something you want? There is nothing missing for disciples now. Wu Xie thought about it and shook his head in confusion, but then a flash of inspiration and remembered an important matter, "The disciple has been away from home to seek immortals for four years, and I don't know how the health of his parents in the Lu Dao family is, and the second elder is nearly half a hundred years old...... Can you please give a few elixirs for fitness and longevity, so that the disciples can show their filial piety? ”

Shaoguang Zhenren was even more appreciative, couldn't help but laugh, took out an emerald green bamboo card, wrote and painted on it, and handed it to him.

"With this as a proof, you can go to the Danfang to find Senior Brother Ruiling to get the medicine."

Wu Xie thanked Shaoguang Zhenren and hurriedly went to the Danfang. The Ruiling Zhenren who had given him the Taixu Pill saw the bamboo card, nodded, and led him to the secret vault located in the side room of the Danfang.

"The elixirs that give mortals fitness and prolong their lives have always been refined, because many disciples want to ask for a few pills to go home and fulfill their filial piety. Ha Luha, I was the same back then. He smiled and took out a thumb-sized jade bottle from a cabinet, unplugged it and checked it, nodded, and handed it to Wu Jie, "I won't tell you the truth, the reason why I will focus on alchemy later is that I originally had a very arrogant idea, wanting to refine the elixir and take my parents and family to ......live forever together."

"Uncle Shi is really a filial son!"

"Hey, I was young and ignorant. Later, when my cultivation gradually increased and my horizons gradually broadened, I realized how ridiculous Lu Dao's original idea was - the medicinal power that mortals' bodies can withstand is limited, not to mention that I still can't refine the elixir that can eat immortality, even if I refine it, mortals can't live forever if they eat it, they will only explode. ”

Wu Xie couldn't help but laugh, but he was embarrassed to laugh.

"In the blink of an eye, almost 400 years have passed, not to mention the parents and relatives at home, and even many of the brothers and sisters who cultivated together at the beginning are gone...... Birth, old age, sickness and death, prosperity and decay are the way of heaven that cannot be violated. If we cultivators want to live forever, we must go beyond the Heavenly Dao and break through the Immortal Barrier and ascend to the Heavenly Barrier...... If you stay in the world, even if there is any supreme magic method that can live longer, you will still die with the grass and trees after all. ”

Ruiling Zhenren was not in a hurry to let Wu Xie leave, but while searching for something in the secret vault, he casually talked to him about his life insights: "You have filial piety, this is a good thing." But you must also understand that birth, old age, sickness and death are helpless things, even if you have the power to reach the heavens, you can only let yourself live forever, and you can't even take your parents with you to soar together. ”

Wu Xie sighed lightly and nodded yes.

Ruiling Zhenren nodded again, and then suddenly his face was happy, and he opened a small cabinet.

"Found it! Sure enough, it's here! As he spoke, he took out a blue-green bamboo tube, shook it gently, heard the sound of water coming from inside, smiled with satisfaction, and handed it to Wu Jie.

"I look at your situation, you should specialize in fire-based spells, and then ignite the true fire with the heart fire, and then use the real fire to burn through the acupuncture points, right?" After receiving Wu Jie's affirmative reply, he introduced, "Inside this bamboo tube is the ancient wood spirit milk that I got by chance when I was traveling outside, although it is not much, it can warm the body and reconcile the vitality." If you use this method to speed up your cultivation, you will inevitably leave some dark wounds in your body, and you will need to recuperate for a long time to avoid leaving hidden dangers in the future. ”

Wu Xie couldn't help but be surprised, and admired his vision so much that he threw himself to the ground.

"The remaining spiritual milk here may not be enough to completely heal your dark wounds, but at least it will save you a few years of recuperation. And its biggest advantage is that it starts with the most subtle and imperceptible places, which can greatly reduce the risk of hidden dangers in the future. ”

Wu Xie thanked him repeatedly, and immediately took the spiritual milk at the suggestion of Ruiling Zhenren.

The spiritual milk in the bamboo tube was really very small, only two or three drops left. But when these few drops of spiritual milk entered, he suddenly felt a cold air flow in his body flowing everywhere, hovering in many places that he usually didn't notice at all, accompanied by a slight tingling, repairing those damage that was so subtle that he couldn't even notice it one by one.

After the elixir was exhausted, he took the elixir and took the elixir to say goodbye and flew out of the mountain to his hometown again.

Although he wanted to cultivate, only by sending the elixir home first and settling his family well, could he return to the Immortal Mountain with confidence and concentrate on cultivation.
