129 The vicissitudes of life

The young man galloped on his horse, and the imperial capital tower behind him was getting farther and farther away.

When he went out this time, Su Chen did not cast a spell to fly, nor did he rush to the cave of Tianmai Mountain.

Instead, he rode a horse and traveled around.

Speaking of which, he has been in the state of Chu for decades, and most of the time, he has been practicing in the palace and in the mountains.

In his heart, he once had the dream of going to the end of the world with a sword.

But due to strength or various tie-ins, there has been no time to implement.

This time, Su Chen let go of his hands and feet, planning to have a good time outside and experience a different life.

He first went all the way south and walked the rivers and lakes as a young knight.

During this period, he killed some notorious bandits, and made a lot of fame, and even got the hearts of several chivalrous women from the martial arts sect, chasing him if he was not a gentleman or marry.

Su Chen didn't want to cause some unnecessary causal entanglements, so he refused righteously.

But the women were too persistent, and in the end, Su Chen half-pushed and half-obeyed them.

It's just that the next day, when the heroines woke up, they found that there was no trace of Su Chen, and only some pill exercises were left for them, and it was as if the world had evaporated from then on.

For a time, there was a legend called "Chu Liuxiang" in the whole rivers and lakes.

Three years later.

Su Chen has changed his identity, he has become a rich man in the coastal area, with countless family properties and countless concubines in the house, and after a period of time, he has spent a leisurely life of drinking and drinking.

But soon, he got bored.

He donated a huge amount of family property, built a number of schools in the local area, and changed his identity, coinciding with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the plague rampant, he took the name of Hua Tuo to help the world and save the people, leaving countless legends and prescriptions for curing diseases and saving people......

Su Chen's first ten years away from the imperial capital passed like this.

In this process, he let go of the shackles of his identity and experienced many different lives, being a chivalrous man who came and went high and wantonly, and also experienced the life of being drunk and drunk, walking in the mountains, and experiencing human suffering like an ascetic.

If in the past, he was just looking down on the world, then now he can be regarded as having gone through all kinds of training in the red dust.

He has tried and experienced all kinds of temptations in the world.

It is not only to meet some expectations in one's heart, but also a kind of spiritual experience.

The red dust disturbance did not sink his Dao heart, but made him more and more determined.

Most of this mundane thing he has tried and experienced.

Without those delusional thoughts and distractions from before, all that was left was his dedication to cultivation, and he wanted to go to a higher world and see more eclectic landscapes.

Of course.

In this process, Su Chen did not relax his cultivation.

The remaining medicinal power of the Candle Dragon Yang Pill had been completely digested and absorbed by him, and it had been transformed into his own mana, and his cultivation had broken through to the fifth layer of qi refining early, and his strength had gone further.

The few magic weapons left behind by the green robe, except for the blood-colored flying sword, were also refined by him one after another and completely controlled.

Now his overall strength has improved a lot, if he encounters an opponent like the green robe again, even if the opponent is in his heyday, Su Chen is confident that he can easily defeat and kill.

Besides.

Those exercises and spells inherited by the Sifang Sect, Su Chen also practiced them together, and every time he changed his identity, he majored in performing one of them, and now he can be regarded as having learned seven, seven, eight, eight.

Of course, in just ten years, it is impossible to practice all the exercises and spells to perfection, and most of them are only limited to mastery.

It will take a lot of time to slowly become familiar with and study before we can achieve perfection.

Other than that.

Su Chen would practice the Great Dream Heart Sutra almost every night, and the strength of his divine thoughts now had increased a lot compared to before.

And in the dream world, you can also use some supernatural methods.

For example, he used his divine thoughts to build a void cave mansion in the dark dream space, although there was no actual bonus effect, but living in it would undoubtedly be much more comfortable, and it would also be more convenient for him to practice the Great Dream Heart Sutra.

Su Chen called this cave mansion the Dream Tower.

Begonias also live here.

Because the dream space does not seem to have the concept of time passing in the ordinary, Begonia does not feel that ten years is too long, and for her, it is just as if she just closes her eyes and rests for a while.

Su Chen would occasionally come in to chat with her, share interesting stories about what he had seen outside, and ask some questions about the cultivation of the exercises.

Although Begonia does not have an incomplete memory, it is like instinct about the things in cultivation, and I remember it very clearly.

This made Su Chen take a lot of detours, which can be regarded as a great benefit.

It's a pity.

The divine aura on her body is recovering very slowly, and she doesn't know how long it will take to recover to her peak.

However, Su Chen was not in a hurry.

Anyway, the existence of begonias will not affect themselves, there is a dream person to chat and talk, and you can also ask questions about cultivation, which is very good.

It's just that in this process, Su Chen must also be careful to maintain his identity as a cultivator, otherwise after a long time, the other party will definitely be surprised why his lifespan is so long and cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, every time he asked those low-level cultivation questions, Su Chen used the excuse to teach his apprentices, because his cultivation methods were different from ordinary people, so he didn't understand these basic attempts.

This kind of excuse will definitely not be deceived by ordinary people.

Fortunately, Begonia's mind is damaged, his memory is incomplete, and his heart is also very simple, basically he believes whatever he says, and he doesn't study it deeply.

After the first ten years.

Su Chen was also a little tired.

With his current strength and cultivation, wandering in the mundane is actually like playing a game in a private server in his previous life, and it is cool, but everything is too easy, so he soon lost interest.

It's no wonder that those immortal cultivators who have achieved cultivation rarely move around in the mundane, and no one runs to this kind of place to pretend to be forced.

Because it's completely unnecessary, and there's no sense of coolness.

Over time, it may even affect your state of mind.

Of course, this is only part of the reason, what really makes them dare not run around is that there is not enough longevity, and they want to pursue eternal life.

Although Su Chen did not have the pressure in this regard.

But he didn't want to continue to wander in the red dust, calculate the time, and the next batch of Southern Candle Fruits in the Tianmai Cave Mansion was about to ripen.

It's time to go back to the mountains for a while.

Calm down, and only in this safe and quiet environment can he refine the flying sword and the wind and thunder seal.

"Kunluo, I'm back!"

Su Chen flew to the cave mansion in Tianmai Mountain, and as he did more than ten years ago, there were not many changes outside the cave.

There was no trace of anyone touching the formation.

However, when he came, he found a lot of birds and beasts in the surrounding area, all of which were psychic beasts, and some of them had a tendency to turn into demons.

When they found Su Chen approaching, these beasts and birds were very panicked and scattered in all directions, but they also kept howling, as if to warn.

Followed by.

A large, golden bird flew out from beneath the abyss, and a surprise cry came out of its mouth.

After ten years, Kunluo's body was larger, his wings were ten zhang wide, and all his feathers had transformed into golden yellow, only the part of his head was still as white as snow.

Now it is majestic and huge, its feathers are as bright as metal, and its body is surrounded by billowing demonic energy, and it looks extremely fierce.

The birds and beasts around them, when they saw it flying out, whimpered and bowed their heads, as if they were visiting their king.

"Haha, it looks like you've really become the tyrant of this Tianmai Mountain!"

Su Chen laughed, stepped on the momentum, and turned into a cloud and mist.

When he reappeared, the man was already sitting on Kunluo's back, and the latter let out a long roar, vibrating his wings excitedly, and whistling over Tianmai Mountain.

The demonic qi swept the clouds and clouds, and the beasts in the mountains were all bowed their heads and wailed, and occasionally there were one or two scattered cultivators who had just entered the mountain to cultivate, and they were all greatly surprised when they felt this power, and looked up.

It turned out that Su Chen, who was riding on the back of a bird, was taken by the breath on his body, and hurriedly shrank back into the cave, not daring to show his head.

"Okay, okay, don't be too high-profile. Although it is difficult to say that there will be enough people in this world to match us, don't be too arrogant. ”

Su Chen hurriedly stopped Kunluo's move to continue to "inspect the territory" and flew back to the place where the cave was located.

At this time, those spirit beasts that were closer to Kunluo also understood that the person who came was not an enemy, so they gathered over one after another, looking flattering.

These beasts are all psychic, and in their early years, they knew that they would go to the Tianmai Mountain Festival to ask for opportunities, but today's Mai Mountain Festival has long been canceled, and it is difficult for them to meet immortal cultivators again, at this time, seeing that Su Chen's strength is strong, even the demon king Kunluo is willing to surrender, of course they also want to come and get some immortal energy.

Su Chen was in a good mood, and immediately smiled: "Since you are Kunluo's subordinates, you can be regarded as helping me guard the cave mansion over the years." I won't be stingy either......"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and spilled out dozens of Qi and Blood Pills.

Those beasts and birds all hurriedly scrambled, and then kowtowed to Su Chen in thanks.

"Not to mention, these mountain spirits and wild monsters who have already channeled are equivalent to people with spiritual roots in the human world, and they have the opportunity to step into cultivation. If you have a chance another day, you can try that beast control technique, maybe you can cultivate a few more demon monks? ”

Su Chen thought about it, and his figure had already flown back into the cave.

I checked the South Candle Fruit Tree next to the stream for the first time, and there were three more South Candle Fruits, which were about to ripen.

The two plants that were harvested before have now grown new green shoots, but it will be too long before they grow.

"Yes, Kunluo, you have been meritorious in guarding the cave over the years. When these southern candle fruits are ripe, I will refine them into pills, and I will reward you with one when the time comes. ”

Su Chen said with a smile.

When Kunluo heard this, he cried excitedly, flapping his wings and boiling, rolling up waves of waves.

Su Chen let it make a fuss for a while, and then took out some sunflower seeds brought out from the imperial capital.

"Rest assured, you won't forget your favorite food."

After speaking, he put the sunflower seeds in the open space next to him and let Kunluo peck at them, while he went to the cave next to him and took out the Great Rihong Furnace.

Immediately, two sword lights fell into his palm.

One of them was shining with golden light, covered with golden black flame lines, and the sword was long and wide, with a feeling of great ingenuity, but there was no spirituality in it.

This is the embryo of the flying sword that he had cast by asking Emperor Jin to collect the world's famous swords.

Strictly speaking, this is not a magic weapon, just a sharper magic weapon.

The other was the blood-colored flying sword in the green robe.

The sword was no more than two feet long, small and slender, more like a large needle, which was conducive to piercing flight.

The material of the sword is not known to be metal, sharp and sharp, but not as brittle as steel, malleable, and vaguely gold-like luster.

But Su Chen knew that this was definitely not ordinary gold, but a bit like the legendary Gengjin.

Inside the sword body, there are some exquisite formation inscriptions, which form the core of the flying sword, so that it can absorb the killing blood qi and store it as the power of flight.

Su Chen planned to refine this flying sword as a whole first, erasing the residual mana imprints that might exist on it, and at the same time trying to reproduce the formation into a set and add it to the big sword.

At that time, you may be able to make a set of flying swords.

The mother sword fought head-on, and the sub-sword was taken by surprise, and the absolute effect was extraordinary.

……

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the grass and trees wither.

Time passed quickly as the flames churned.

It took Su Chen three years to completely refine and refine the blood-colored flying sword, and it took another four years to successfully reproduce the formation on the flying sword he refined.

Since then, this set of flying swords has finally been completed.

After the molding, the mother sword is red gold in color and is covered with flame inscriptions, which are also engraved with twelve sun talismans and a golden black talisman.

Under the cast, it can burst out with a strong pure yang fire, and the frontal combat is powerful.

This sword, Su Chen named it "Yang Jun".

After the sub-sword is re-refined, it is even smaller, and the whole body is in a translucent state, and you can even see the blood and qi flowing in it, which can be hidden in the body of the Yangjun sword on weekdays, and can also be hidden in any part of the body.

Perform at any time and be surprised.

But this sword also has a drawback.

That is, it is necessary to absorb the essence and blood killing qi to conceive, otherwise the power will gradually weaken.

To put it simply, this thing is to drink blood, and if you eat more, the power will be strong, and if you can't eat enough, you will naturally pull across when you fight.

However, this is completely harmless for Su Chen.

Since breaking through the Innate Realm, the Immortal Dao Seed in his body has begun to show signs of germination and growth, which has brought about a more powerful recovery ability.

This bit of essence blood consumption can be replenished at any time through the Dao Species, and it will not damage itself at all.

After refining the flying sword, the three southern candle fruits were also ripe at this time.

Su Chen still planned to refine two candle dragon pills, one yin and one yang, to improve his cultivation strength, and as for the remaining one, he planned to leave it to Kunluo.

For this reason, Su Chen specially found Kun Luo and told it the benefits and effects of these two pills, and let it choose for himself.

I thought that Kunluo would choose Yang Dan, which directly increased his cultivation, to help him break through the second layer of qi refining.

As a result, it didn't expect that it chose Yin Dan.

For a spirit bird like it with the bloodline of the Great Peng, its lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary birds, and its mana cultivation is simpler.

But the divine mind is extremely difficult to improve, and for demons, this is almost equivalent to wisdom.

The stronger the divine mind, the higher the wisdom, and the higher the understanding, which will definitely be more beneficial in the long run.

"Okay, then I'll refine a Yin Pill for you."

Saying that, Su Chen began to do it, and it took a year to refine the two Yin Pills, and the remaining Yang Pills needed to be conceived for three years.

After he and Kunluo each ate one pill, they went to retreat and digest the medicinal power one after another.

I thought that if I took this Yin Pill, I could make my divine thoughts increase again.

As a result, the effect after taking it is much weaker than before, about one-third.

This made Su Chen a little disappointed.

It seems that this candle dragon pill only has the greatest effect when it is the first one, and it is because I took the fruit first and then took the pill, so I have no resistance.

"In this way, it is estimated that the Yang Pill is only one-third of the medicinal effect. It's a pity that the remaining Southern Candle Fruit can only be eaten by Kunluo in the future, and if there is any surplus, it will be left for emergencies. ”

Su Chen shook his head, originally thinking about relying on these Southern Candle Fruit Pills to upgrade, but now it seems that it is not as easy as he imagined.

The remaining Yang Pill, absorbing them all, helped him to ascend to the sixth level of Qi refining at most, and then he had to find another way.

"There are still more than ten years before the opening of the East China Sea Immortal Island, next, let's go all out to conquer the wind and thunder seal of refining!"

After thinking about it, Su Chen took out the inscriptions of the runes that had been rubbed before, he had studied a lot over the years, and thus obtained a lot of new runes.

But if you want to crack the wind and thunder seal, it is far from enough.

At the very least, you have to eat all these rune inscriptions before you have a chance.

Now that I think about it, the old man who was trapped in the underground of the Sifang Sect, although he was full of nonsense, he didn't lie about the wind and thunder seal.

This thing is too profound, it is definitely not a treasure that can be controlled by the Qi Refining Realm, unless there is a special secret method, it does take a lot of effort to refine it.

Fortunately, Su Chen has time.

As long as time can do it, it is not difficult for him.

"Counting it, that old man has been trapped underground for almost twenty years, right? When I control the Wind and Thunder Seal, I can go and see it, maybe there will be an unexpected gain. ”

While thinking, Su Chen lowered his head and began to study the runes in front of him.

In the following days, Su Chen basically dealt with Fu Seal every day, and occasionally when he got something, he would draw and try, and conduct some experiments.

often fights in the cave and shakes the sky.

The animals and birds in the mountains were frightened, panicked, and those retreating cultivators were also terrified all day long, and they did not dare to approach this mountain forest at all.

Occasionally, when he had free time, Su Chen would also ask Kunluo to summon those spiritual beasts and birds over and give them lectures on the Fa to enlighten them.

At the same time, try to cultivate the Beast Guarding Technique.

This beast control trick is actually very simple, mainly relying on the spiritual power of the gods to establish communication with the spirit beasts, so as to reach some kind of tacit contract.

Even if you don't have exercises, you can do it, just like Su Chen and Kunluo before, of course, it will be difficult and it will take a lot of time and energy to cultivate feelings.

The Beast Trick is relatively simple and rude, relying on the exercises to quickly communicate with the spirit beast and make it understand its own instructions.

In the process of experimenting, Su Chen unconsciously had almost contracted all the spiritual birds and beasts around him.

At the sound of an order, half the birds and beasts on the mountain will obey his orders.
