"You..."

Dean Xia's raised palm involuntarily put it down, and he was also stunned in place.

The young man's palm made contact with the Seven Stars Ancient Tree, and then he broke the tree with his hands and burned it...... When did you catch Shou Wen?

The essential... Can you really grab this thing with your bare hands? I've heard some pill pharmacists say that you must use tattooed jade!

Could it be that the ancient wood longevity pattern is special?

"Give!"

Doubting in his heart, the young man gently threw the longevity pattern in his hand.

Startled, Dean Xia subconsciously reached out to pick it up, just like the other party, and then felt a chill in his palm, and the cyan longevity pattern had already drilled through his palm and rushed to the ground.

"Oh no........"

His pupils shrank, and Dean Xia realized that the news he knew before was true, and it was only this young man who was special...... Hurriedly took out the jade, and then wanted to collect it, only to find that the ground was empty, and there was no trace of the other party.

Disappeared into thin air.

Dean Xia's eyes were dizzy.

The longevity pattern melts into the soil, and if you want to find it again, it is obviously impossible!

was secretly sad, thinking that he was careless, when he heard the young man's displeased scolding, "Get out, be careful that I whip you!"

Looking up suspiciously, he immediately saw that the longevity pattern that had just been drilled from his palm appeared on Xu Hong's trouser legs, lying on it, rubbing around, like a pug begging for food.

「……」

Xia Yuan was stunned, and the other elders were also stunned.

In the eyes of others, the arrogant and unruly Gumu Shouwen, at this time, when he saw his father, he couldn't get rid of it...

"I'm afraid of you..."

Seeing that he couldn't shake it off, Xu Hong helplessly stretched out his fingers, pinched them gently, pinched them on his fingertips again, took the jade box in Xia Yuan's hand, and put it in.

"Xu Hong, this ...... What the hell is going on?"

When the longevity pattern was in his hand, Xia Yuan's nervous mood relaxed, and at the same time asked loudly. When did you find the longevity pattern, why did you cut off the trunk and burn the stump?

"Wait a minute..."

Xu Hong didn't explain, but looked at the trunk of the tree in front of him, which was still burning.

The flame formed by the Fire Xuan True Qi was extremely hot, and in just over ten breaths, the exposed tree trunk had been burned all over the place, turning into a pile of pitch-black charcoal, and the exposed tree roots were also sprinkled all over the ground and turned into ashes.

Seeing that the ashes were concentrated on top of the black charcoal, Xu Hong took out a bucket and poured it away.

The clear water flowed slowly, dousing the remaining sparks and seeping into the shriveled ground.

"Nutrient solution? It's all burned, is this thing still useful?"

Everyone looked at each other, and they were all a little confused.

Burn it like this before watering...... Are you sure it will be useful?

It is not denied that the effect of the nutrient solution is great, but it is not possible to bring back the dead to life!

The other elders didn't know about the nutrient solution, and they were even more confused.

Xu Hong kept watering, and after a while, he poured all the buckets of water into it.

A bucket of water is inconspicuous for the ground that has dried up a little, and even the cracked surface has not changed much.

Just when everyone wondered if the boy would continue to prepare the nutrient solution, an exclamation came from the crowd.

"Look" Everyone hurriedly looked, and immediately saw that the ground was a little blackened, and at some point a young shoot had emerged, showing a faint yellow color, which was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

"It's... The resurrection of an ancient tree?"

Dean Xia was stunned.

It's all burned to ashes, how did it grow?

Puzzled, the buds seemed to be installed with an accelerator button, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just over ten breaths, they became more than a foot tall, and after a while, they reached about one person.

At this time, the pale yellow turned into a tender green, and although the leaves were immature, seven spots could be seen on them, like seven stars.

Not Seven Stars

What will an ancient tree be?

"Really alive......"

Everyone was a little crazy.

It was cut off, burned to ashes, and the key longevity pattern was also caught... How did you survive?

After a while, I don't know if the effect of the nutrient solution stopped, or for other reasons, the growth rate stopped, at this time, this new ancient tree, has been more than five meters high, the thickness of the bowl mouth, although compared with the previous trunk, a large difference, but the surface is all green bark, the appearance is intact, there are no dry wounds, there is no erosion of the tree holes.

Exudes exuberance and is full of exuberance.

Elder Xuanye seemed to remember something, and his lips trembled, "Could it be...... Break and then stand, and live to die!"

Dean Xia frowned, and the others also looked at him with puzzlement.

Seeing their expressions, Elder Xuanye hurriedly explained, "This is something I heard about when I was traveling in other places before! The normal way of producing longevity patterns is that trees and the like suffer from life and death crises, such as lightning strikes, droughts, floods, etc., and finally overcome the past, and the dead wood is rejuvenated in spring.

"This kind, no matter how strong the longevity pattern born later is, it will have a certain aging atmosphere, because ...... The resurrected tree, even if it comes back to life and survives for the rest of its life, is only a continuation of life!"

Everyone nodded at the same time.

Elder Hong Yuan even spoke in agreement, "Not bad!"

He is not only a pharmacist, but also responsible for the cultivation of medicinal materials in the Heart Academy, so he naturally understands what the other party means.

The dead tree is alive again in spring, but ...... The roots and trunks of the tree are the same and have not changed, that is, they have only completed their unfinished lifespan, not given birth to new life.

It's like an ordinary tree, with a lifespan of 100 years, and when it was struck by lightning at 50 years, it just continues to live after the birth of Shouwen, and its lifespan is still 50, and it will not become younger.

"And this—"

The voice trembled, and Xuanye's fist couldn't help but tremble, "Not only did he take away the Shouwen, but he also cut down the tree, burned the stump, and burned more than half of the roots, under normal circumstances, resurrection is almost impossible, but ...... The medicinal liquid prepared by Xu Hong is really amazing, with infinite vitality, so that the ancient tree that has lost its vitality will be resurrected again!

"This seedling was born on the basis of an old tree, absorbing all the life and nutrients of the ancient tree, but it does not have the longevity of the other party's old age, but it is full of vitality, that is to say, not only is the longevity pattern born, but once it grows, the vitality is also stronger, and if you don't get it right, the level can be one step better!"

"This ......," Dean Xia was shocked.

The longevity pattern of the seven-star ancient tree, once it reaches the level of an ancient tree, if it can go further, wouldn't it be ...... Holy Wood Shouwen?

This level of longevity pattern is extremely rare, even if he has lived for more than a hundred years, he has never seen it, is it possible that he wants to appear in the misty forest?

However, the tree in front of him was still very immature, and when it was fully mature, he would definitely not need it for many years.

But to be able to make a saint-level longevity pattern for future generations is enough to go down in history!

After explaining, Xuanye looked at the young man curiously, "I don't know...... Am I right?"

"Hmm!" In response, Xu Hong explained: "The longevity pattern of the seven-star ancient tree has spirituality, normal picking, just like killing a chicken and taking eggs, both want, naturally have to prepare in advance, the moment you collect the longevity pattern, cut off the tree, burn the rhizome, at this time, the vitality of the ancient tree is not completely gone, it will be burned by the flame, quickly reflow, take the opportunity to water a special nutrient solution, you can quickly give birth to new life, absorb the nutrition of the ancient tree, so as to achieve rebirth."

This method of picking longevity patterns was seen in the library, and for others, it was a theory, because there was not so much vitality to resurrect the burnt ancient tree, and he was different.

Immortal True Qi is instilled into it, and it is full of vitality, as long as it is not completely dead, it is extremely easy......

Of course, these words must not be spoken.

After listening to the explanation, although there were still doubts in my heart, they all showed strong admiration.

In just one or two breaths, the longevity pattern will be found and broken

The tree burned, in one go, without the slightest hesitation... This courage and determination are heartbreaking.

Elder Hong Yuan and the others admired, and when they saw the elder who broke the tree and scolded him, their faces were full of shame. The other party saved the tree, they didn't understand it, and they scolded it, it was a shame to throw it to grandma's house, and they brushed the soles of their feet to buckle the ground, eager to find a crack in the ground to get in......

"Xu Hong, you found Shouwen so quickly, and found the best of both worlds, did you also learn the cultivation of medicinal herbs?"

After being silent for a while, Dean Xia couldn't help but say.

If you don't cultivate medicinal herbs, it is impossible for an ancient tree that has died to be born and resurrected.

"When I was in Jiyuan City, I was fortunate to study with Teacher Tianya for a few years..."

Xu Hong hugged his fists with a respectful face.

Let's continue to pull the tiger skin......

Anyway, with Yang Mo and Dean Xia's evidence, I don't worry about others not believing it.

"This senior of the end of the world is really a god!"

Xia Yuan sighed.

can alchemy, prepare nutrient solution, cultivate medicinal materials, and the key is to see other people's dark injuries at a glance and treat the symptoms...... Although I haven't seen this one, I also know that it is definitely the existence he looks up to, the real invincible master.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I still hope that everyone will keep their mouths shut about today......

After sighing, Xia Yuan turned his head to look at everyone, "Once I know that someone leaked the news, even if I am not in good health, I don't mind going all out to kill him!"

"Don't worry, Dean!"

All the people had solemn faces.

The young man in front of him, if it was just a simple nine veins, the news would be leaked, the pill talent was invincible, and the second contact would refine the perfect level... Now he is good at cultivating medicinal materials, no matter which one he is, he can make countless people crazy.

"Let's all go back!"

After explaining, Xia Yuan looked at the young man, "Xu Hong, you come with me, Shouwen got it, I want to try to resolve the dark injury!"

"Good!"

Xu Hong nodded.

Leaving the Misty Forest, he soon came to Dean Xia Yuan's residence, which was next door to Xu Hong, and there was only one wall between the two.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw several old men, sitting quietly in it, as if waiting for them.

"Old Summer ......"

Seeing the two of them coming in, several people got up at the same time.

There was a hint of doubt in Xu Hong's eyes.

The few people in front of him were not the elders of the academy, at least he had never seen them.

Judging from their appearance alone, all of them have goosebumps, they are very old, and there are even two of them, who are on crutches, and it seems that their movements are not so convenient.

However, he is not young, but his strength should not be underestimated, his breath is not triggered, his spirit is strong, and the weakest is probably far superior to Elder Xuanye.

"My little things, I still bother you to come from afar, it's hard!" A few steps came to him, and Dean Xia hugged his fists.

"You're welcome, I've known you for more than a hundred years, and these false gifts are exempt! We're here to protect you, and we're here to see if you can really solve the wounds."

An old man on crutches stroked his beard and said lightly.

"Hmm! Then you're welcome......

With a chuckle, Dean Xia beckoned everyone to sit down again, and then looked at Xu Hong, "These are friends who have performed tasks together when I was young, and they can entrust life and death. Avoid unpredictable dangers."

Xu Hong nodded.

Dean Xia is 162 years old...... When I was young, my friends were at least over 100 years old, so it's no wonder that they are so old.

It's just that there are so many elders in the academy, he didn't say anything about healing, but let his young friend protect the Dao, is this distrustful, or is he jealous?

I'm afraid it's both!

Although Hongwu Academy is not like Dan Yuan Sect and Yingyue Sect, the elders are in a group, and there are many interests in the game, but when it comes to cultivation resources, there must be great competition.

He is strong, and no one dares to speak when he can be crushed in his heyday, and once he treats his dark wounds, something happens...... It may not be that there will be people who have crooked minds.

In this case, there is a great danger.

These people were brought in, apparently to prevent this kind of thing.

I have done tasks together, and I have given my back to each other with confidence, so I am naturally convinced of my character.

"This is ......"

Seeing that Dean Xia actually explained to a young man, several old men looked at it curiously at the same time.

I saw that it was a student before, but I didn't care much about it, and I thought it was just an apprentice or something, a favored junior, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"This Xu Hong is a newly recruited genius from the academy and the future successor of Hongwu Academy......

Dean Xia explained casually and did not elaborate.

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't care.

Although the genius is eye-catching, the strength is not reached, and it is still not enough for them to pay attention to.

"Lao Xia, you are ready to start, we will stay here, and if there is a problem, we can also take care of it!"

The old man on crutches spoke lightly.

"Good!"

Dean Xia prepared a little, sat cross-legged on a futon, flipped his wrist, took out the jade box, and slowly opened it, and the longevity pattern of the seven-star ancient tree was lying quietly in it, swimming happily.

"Furugi Shouwen?"

Seeing this thing, several old men showed surprise at the same time, but some were only envious, not jealous.

Xu Hong nodded secretly.

No wonder you can be invited, and the character is at least guaranteed.

Dean Xia took out a jade bottle again and poured it towards Shouwen, and then, drops of viscous liquid slowly flowed out, and as soon as the two touched, the cyan Shouwen was immediately wrapped, like a mayfly frozen in ice, and he couldn't break free even if he wanted to struggle.

After doing this, Dean Xia breathed a sigh of relief, reached over, and with a gentle pinch, he grabbed the Shou Wen that he couldn't move before in his palm.

"It's... Liquid?" Xu Hong's face was full of doubts.

"It is refined from five hundred years of [Void Yellow Grass], and the medicinal properties are neutralized, and it will not affect the original efficacy of Shouwen!" Xia Yuan explained with a smile.

"Oh!" Xu Hong suddenly.

Shouwen can refine elixir, which can naturally be dissolved in the liquid medicine, which is also another way for the elixir master who does not have a tattoo jade to preserve the other party.

Of course, the premise is that this medicinal liquid has no properties, otherwise, once the longevity pattern is combined with it and changes its form and structure, even if it is used, it will not be able to exert its previous effect.

Void yellow grass is one of the best medicines, first of all, the refined liquid is transparent, and you can always observe the condition of longevity lines; Secondly, the higher the vintage, the weaker the medicinal properties, taking the 500-year-old in Xia Yuan's hands as an example, it may not even have the curative effect of an ordinary dog's tail grass, and it will not affect the inherent strength of Shouwen at all......

Picking up Shouwen and taking a deep breath, Xia Yuan swallowed it directly.

Subsequently, the true yuan in the body operated, and the surging and strong power, wrapped in medicinal power, surged towards the damaged Huimen and Tianren acupoints.

The advice given by Tianya's predecessors is to let the Seven Star Shou Pattern merge with the damaged place, which is the simplest and most direct way.

"Why don't you refine it into an elixir......

Seeing his actions, Xu Hong frowned slightly.

Obviously, he didn't expect that the dean of the hall would swallow it directly.

"Refining the Ancient Wood Shou Pattern and letting it exert its best medicinal effect, at least it will take a Peak Life Pill Pharmacist to succeed, do you think Yang Mo will spend a lot of effort to help him refine it?" And if you can't reach this realm, forcibly refining, it will only damage the medicinal properties, which will lead to damage to the longevity lines......

The old man on crutches showed a hint of displeasure and couldn't help but hum.

At this time, it is most taboo to ask, which will undoubtedly be distracting.

Xu Hong was speechless.

Where Senior Brother Yang Mo is now, I don't know where to find him to refine medicine, it is indeed inconvenient.

It's just that if you don't refine it into a pill and take it directly, the power of Shou Wen will become very violent, and it will inevitably increase a lot of unknown variables.

No wonder Dean Xia wants to find so many friends to come over to protect the road, this is the determination to become a benevolent if he does not succeed.

Come to think of this

, Xu Hong's eyes became solemn.

It seems that when it's time to make a move, you still have to help, otherwise, if something happens to this Dean Xia, he will become very dangerous and embarrassed.

Zizizizi!

As he was thinking about it, he saw a painful expression on Dean Xia's face, and the power in his body seemed to be a little uncontrollable, spreading in all directions.

Shouwen has not been refined by the Dan furnace, which will wear out the spirituality and cause rejection, this kind of pain is from the inside out, and will not be alleviated because of the high cultivation, therefore, it is very easy for people to go crazy.

When he treated Wei Ziyang's injuries at the beginning, he encountered this situation, and instead of monitoring with the help of the longevity diagram all the time, it may not be a life-saving, but a direct death.

Therefore, after the Pill Pill Master obtains the Shou Pattern, the most important thing to do is to refine the spirituality in it, so that it becomes unconscious.

Dean Xia didn't take this step, and under Shouwen's resistance, the power in his body kept shaking, and he was already a little uncontrollable.

"Formation!"

It seems that he had already guessed that this would happen, and the old man on crutches raised his eyebrows and let out a low voice.

The remaining few, hearing the order, stood up and immediately surrounded Dean Xia in the center, and in an instant, one after another majestic True Yuan rushed over, enveloping the latter like a silkworm cocoon.

Xu Hong frowned.

Shouwen rejection, which happens in the body, is like the civil strife of a dynasty, forcibly sealed with force, like suppressing resistance by force, will only make the confrontation more intense, thus counterproductive.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a good idea!

As soon as the spirit moved, the immortal diagram emerged.

"1 year: 101 days: 12 hours: 15 minutes: 23 seconds!"

"1 year: 70 days: 12 hours: 15 minutes: 22 seconds!"

Xu Hong's pupils shrank.

A second drops 31 days of life.

If you are someone else, it will be fine to drop half a year at a time, or a year, but Dean Xia only has a total lifespan of more than a year, and if he continues to fall, it is very likely that he will die directly before he completely suppresses the longevity pattern!

Seeing that it was a green font, not a dark gray font like "Brother Feng", Xu Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This countdown is not the time when the other party will die, but can be saved.

Thinking of this, he took a step forward and said his thoughts, "I don't think it's a good way to forcibly suppress it like this......

"Not suitable?"

The old man on crutches looked at him coldly, "What strength do you have?"

Xu Hong replied truthfully, "Grandmaster!"

The martial artist is tenfold, it must not be said, anyway, as long as he does not break through and increase his life, in the eyes of the other party, he is the peak of the grandmaster.

The old man continued, "How old?"

Xu Hong: "16 years old!"

The crutches were on the ground, and the old man on crutches looked as cold as ice, "I, Yu Yuan, am 137 years old this year, the peak of the martial artist's five-fold fetal breathing realm, and I have a deep understanding of cultivation, the ancient wood longevity pattern that Xia Yuan took has not been refined, and there is a rejection phenomenon in the body, this situation needs to be suppressed with all my strength to alleviate it and buy him more time... You are a 16-year-old teenager, what qualifications do you have to say that it is not suitable? I don't know if you are Yang Mo or Wu Yue?"

Xu Hong's face froze.

It was a good intention to save people, but I didn't expect to be despised......

Another old man, who also looked over, said, "Although I don't know why Xia Yuan attaches so much importance to you, ...... This is not the time for you to speak, so stand back and wait!"

"Elders do things, you don't need to interject here, otherwise, I don't mind teaching you a lesson for Dean Xia!"

Someone shouted again.

Unexpectedly, he said something that caused such a big reaction, Xu Hong frowned, but still said his thoughts, "Forcibly blocking Dean Xia's power can suppress Shouwen's backlash, but it will hurt his body too much, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it for long!"

With Dean Xia's cultivation of the sixfold peak of longevity, it is finally possible to tame the longevity pattern, but... His lifespan would not have allowed that.

「

Shut up!"

With a stroke of one hand by the old man Yu Yuan, Xu Hong was shrouded in a majestic true yuan, and he couldn't move forward a bit.

Compared to a teenager who is only 16 years old, they choose to trust their own experience. Unexpectedly, instead of listening to them, they also moved forward to control, Xu Hong frowned, and looked at Dean Xia in front again.

"24 days: 12 o'clock: 15 minutes: 10 seconds!"

The pupils constricted.

There is still more than a year of life, and in just over ten seconds, it has become 24 days, and it seems that if it continues, it will die completely in a few seconds.

Burst!

Sure enough, as soon as this idea came out, Dean Xia Yuan couldn't hold on anymore because his lifespan was lost too quickly, and a mouthful of blood spurted wildly.

At this time, the life span has also dropped to less than a day, like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished at any time.

Seeing him like this, everyone stopped, and their faces were gloomy.

There is no need for Xu Hong to say, and he can see that the person in front of him should have failed, and it is already difficult to resist.

Holding back the pain in his body, Xia Yuan opened his eyes and smiled slightly, "I thought that the Seven Star Ancient Wood Shouwen would have a great backlash, but I still didn't expect it to be so big... You don't have to be frustrated, if you don't shock, I only have less than two years to live, and I don't have much to live, and now that I'm done, even if I don't succeed, at least I won't regret it......."

"When the life expectancy is up, no one can live against the sky......

Yu Yuan nodded and looked over, "Lao Xia, don't worry, after you leave, we will take care of Hongwu Academy for you, and wait for this young man to grow up!"

As a strong man who has lived for more than a hundred years, he naturally understands the true intention of the other party to let them protect the Tao at this time.

If the continuation of life is successful, everyone is happy, and if it is not successful, bringing this young man obviously wants them to take care of them until the other party is not weaker than them.

"With your words, I'm relieved......

Relieved, Xia Yuan just wanted to continue to explain some aftermath, when he saw the young man who was driven out of the crowd, frowned, and slowly walked towards him.

The power that suppressed himself was removed, and the seal on him naturally stopped.

"Xu Hong, the academy will be handed over to you in the future, work hard and strive for an early breakthrough, by the way, you must be careful Cheng Yu, this guy, I'm afraid it's not so peaceful, leaving the Yuan royal family, it's not as simple as imagined......

Knowing that his life was short, Xia Yuan looked at the young man, his eyes were full of kindness, and he also explained seriously.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the young man come to him, raise his right foot, and kick straight at his chest.

Boom!

Seriously injured, with all his strength, and suppressing the backlash of Shouwen, he didn't have time to dodge at all, and in just one moment, he was kicked more than two meters away.

"Stop!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Looking for ...... Death"

Yu Yuan and the others were all stunned, and they exploded in an instant.

The other party is dying, as a junior, he doesn't want to save people, but directly on the foot is a person?

It's in vain that Xia Yuan is so good to you, and he plans to hand over the academy to you personally......

Damn it!

With a blue face, Yu Yuan's five fingers opened, and he grabbed Xu Hong again, and the majestic power shrouded him again, blocking his way at once.

"What are you doing?" Xu Hong raised his eyebrows.

"I'd like to ask what you're doing!" Yu Yuan shouted angrily.

If you were someone else, you would have been heavy on it a long time ago, and the other party was obviously a junior that Xia Yuan valued, thinking, "I'm saving people!" Xu Hong explained.

"Saving people?"

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Yu Yuan and the others almost laughed angrily...... Can you get a face?

Kicking a seriously injured person...... What is this special to save people?

I don't think he died fast enough!

"I can't bear it anymore, Lao Yu, don't pull me, let me smoke him to death......" An old man with leopard eyes, his eyes were round, he couldn't hold back anymore, and he was about to do it when he came to Xu Hong.

Yu Yuan was still thinking about whether to stop it

, I heard a weak voice coming over, "Stop, don't stop Xu Hong..."

Everyone was stunned at the same time, and hurriedly turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and then saw Xia Yuan, who had just been kicked away, struggling to stand up at some point, his face was pale at the same time, and there was excitement in his voice.

"Don't stand in the way?"

Yu Yuan and the others are afraid that they have heard it wrong.

"Yes!"

Xia Yuan walked forward excitedly, looked at the young man in front of him, full of anticipation, "Kick me hard, ravage me hard!" I...... It's worth it!"

「……」

Looking at the dean of Hongwu Academy, looking at him enjoying and looking forward to it, for fear that the other party would not do it, Yu Yuan and the others were all stupid.

I've seen people begging for money, power, debts, and food, and it's the first time I've seen someone begging for money......

Is it so cheap?
