Green bricks and green tiles, pavilions and pavilions, flower pavilions are dotted with lush spiritual grass, and there is a bright sense of poetry and painting everywhere.

In the courtyard, an old figure with no waves in his eyes, a dead silence, without a trace of being affected by the environment.

Zhou Lie knew the teacher's intentions and wanted to use the sympathy between man and nature to let him get out of his sadness, but after learning that Zhou Huang's grudge was over, he became more and more thoughtless.

"Empty and empty, living is a moving shell."

When Chen Sheng saw this scene, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, Zhou Lie's aging was not only physical, but also spiritual, there was no hope, it was gray, and he naturally lost his life.

This state, one day in the future, he may also step into it, and when everything is gone, immortality will become a kind of disease.

"Teacher, I've tired you."

Chen Sheng's arrival made Zhou Lie's empty eyes have an extra touch of color, and looking at this figure, he felt a kind of guilt in his heart.

After having Zhou Huang, he thought he could share it for the teacher, but he broke it again.

As a disciple, he really failed.

"I never ask you for anything, nor do I ask you to be amazing in the world, as long as you spend your life safely, you will be very satisfied."

Chen Sheng is an immortal person, he has already satisfied his greatest desire, and he takes many things that ordinary people can't forget.

He didn't ask Zhou Lie to be invincible and spread his prestige, nor did he ask Zhou Lie to collect cultivation resources for him and be a cow and a horse.

This apprentice who has been raised since childhood, he plays the role of a teacher and a father, and hopes that this child will be healthy all his life.

Even in today's situation, he still thinks about it, as long as Zhou Lie is healthy and happy, it will be fine.

"Disciple, I will work hard."

Zhou Lie nodded, even if he felt that this request was difficult and difficult, but since the teacher wanted him to be happy, then he had to work hard to be happy.

"I feel bored, ask your sister to cook a good meal for you, when you were a child, didn't you always like the food she cooked."

Chen Sheng knew the situation of Zhou Lie, and there were many respected descendants in the family, but none of them told the sorrow.

There is only Yaolu, and he and Luzhu are the only ones Zhou Lie can rely on.

"When I was a child, I remembered, always remembered."

A look of nostalgia appeared in Zhou Lie's eyes, it was really an extremely happy time, and there was no need to worry about anything.

Now he has a lot of things, and the authority in the medicine house is the envy of countless people, but he can't be happy.

"Regain this joy and don't be pessimistic."

Chen Sheng patted Zhou Lie's shoulder and used a bit of force, as if he wanted to pass on this firmness to this disciple who had been bumpy in the second half of his life.

He can give Zhou Lie authority, cultivation resources, and attacking magic weapons, but he really has no means to make the other party come out.

This life, after all, is your own, others can't interfere, only when you feel comfortable, can you really have your thoughts.

Coming out of Zhou Lie, Chen Sheng thought about it, walked into the place where the medicine house was in the library, looked through the Dan Dao classics, and chose a recipe for the "Little Holy Grass Pill", and asked the people under him to prepare the spirit grass.

Then, he entered the secret room, intending to break through the early stage of the foundation building realm.

Over the years, he has devoted himself to the Dan Dao, and he has a responsibility, and he is also dedicated to studying, delaying his cultivation.

Now that the progress on the Dan Dao has been stagnant, the mana naturally overflows completely, and it is time to break through.

"What's right for you is the best."

Chen Sheng's practice so far is still the Health Sutra, this Qi refining method, the foundation is very positive, and the mana that has been cultivated is peaceful, condensed and pure, and it is extremely good.

Of course, it is not without shortcomings, but for more than 100 years, he has been trying with his body, and he has modified this health sutra countless times, and it has been tampered with beyond recognition.

It cannot be said that the health sutra practiced now is the supreme exercise, but it is definitely the most suitable and suitable for him.

As soon as he exerted a little, the exercise route of the health sutra was instantly activated, absorbing a steady stream of heaven and earth aura towards the outside world.

"Boom ......"

In the secret room, Chen Sheng's body was blooming with brilliance, and the aura gathered around him was like smoke, making him look like a divine and ethereal majesty.

The surging aura of heaven and earth penetrated from his mouth, nose and ears, walked a circle of exercise routes, turned into condensed mana, and fell into the dantian.

In his dantian, the mist was thick, and there was a small lake accumulating underneath, and there was constantly dripping mana, like rain dripping.

With the endless mana, the edge of the small lake gradually expanded.

This situation lasted for a day and a half, and finally reached a limit.

The mana in the dantian suddenly became active, as if an extinct volcano had revived, giving birth to changes.

"Boom"

The qi on Chen Sheng's body was also rising, rushing to a boundary, but it was stopped.

That was the pass in the middle of the foundation building realm.

He was calm, and he was bent on running the health sutra, allowing the accumulated mana to be consumed in the impact pass.

I don't know how long it took, there was a roar, but the barrier in the middle of the foundation building realm was broken, and his heart and mind jumped into a new world.

"It's hard to cultivate, it's hard to build a foundation, it's hard to pass the pass."

After Chen Sheng broke through to the middle stage of the Foundation Building Realm, he was a little happy in his heart, and he returned to normal.

He could feel the limitations of his qualifications, and immortal cultivators who had no talent were too difficult on this path to immortality.

Fortunately, when he came to this place, the heaven and earth were thick, and the divine supernatural body was added, so he avoided turning into a pile of white bones when he was in the Qi Refining Realm.

He stood up and walked out of the secret room, although he had restrained his breath, but he had just broken through, and he could still see a trace.

"In the middle of the foundation realm, it's the same as me."

Luzhu had nothing to do, waiting boredly outside the secret room, and when he saw Chen Sheng break through the realm, his eyebrows and eyes suddenly bent, and he was the kind of smiling look, like a willow in the spring wind, giving people a soft and harmonious feeling.

"Your talent is a little better than mine, you can spend more time cultivating."

On Chen Sheng's face, a smile unconsciously appeared, just because of the things in Zhou, the feeling of life and death deepened, and he couldn't help but say a word.

"I don't have a firm desire to seek the Tao, my qualifications are only middle and upper, and I am already very content to be able to build a foundation, and it is not good to ask too much."

Luzhu is self-aware, she can cultivate the foundation building realm, she still has a bit of luck and mercy from the heavens, and she doesn't have too much obsession with the path.

In this life, she feels very good to be able to stay by Chen Sheng's side and be safe.

"It's up to you......"

Chen Sheng didn't know whether to be relieved or smile bitterly, Lu Zhu's mentality was very good, but the obsession of cultivating immortals was not strong.

I think it's because I know the matter of immortality, it's too ethereal, it's better to live in the moment and be free and easy.

He didn't say more, this kind of life is actually quite good.

……

"Elder, the spirit grass you prepared has already been collected."

Before Chen Sheng's retreat, no one dared to slack off on what he had instructed, and he had already found it.

The attitude of the person who came was extremely respectful, and he was holding a storage bag in his hand, but it was the spiritual grass needed to refine the Little Holy Grass Pill.

"Okay."

Chen Sheng put away the things and walked to the alchemy room, intending to refine a furnace of Little Sacred Grass Pill.

He has rarely refined first-order pills, but this time it was prepared for Zhou Lie, and he was not sloppy, and he was very concerned.

This little holy grass pill is a life-sustaining pill, a first-order high-grade pill, which is cumbersome to refine and uses a variety of materials, but it has a very good effect, and it can prolong the life of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator for ten years.

"Buzz ......"

In the alchemy room, the furnace fire was blazing, and the lid of the rainbow trout furnace set off the fire of the upward rush, and the mouth of the furnace was red, like a world in fire.

Chen Sheng opened the storage bag, and one after another the spirit grass was thrown into the alchemy furnace, licked against the flames, burning away the excess impurities.

The heaven and earth in the furnace are like a nine-story pagoda, with layers of flames, and a kind of spiritual grass has been burned off its body and turned into a clear appearance.

Roughly counting, there are hundreds of kinds, flowing with a glittering brilliance, like amber glass, not stained with dust.

Under the light of the fire, Chen Sheng's cheeks were like red jade, and he was like a god, and his every move revealed a calm and unhurried charm.

His Eight Fire Control Methods have already reached an extremely advanced level, and there is no pressure to refine the second-order pill, and there is no problem with the first-order Little Sacred Grass Pill.

Each spirit grass allowed him to be refined to the most extreme and pure state, and from the perspective of a second-order alchemist, it could be called perfect.

"It's okay, I can do pharmacological blending."

Chen Sheng's refining of this furnace of Little Holy Grass Pill was definitely done with his heart, and he tried to ensure that there was no trace of impurities in the refining of the Spirit Grass, and he was sure again and again before proceeding to the next step.

"Buzz ......"

As soon as his mind moved, all kinds of spiritual grasses began to blend, and wisps of mysterious qi came out, with thousands of possibilities.

What the alchemist has to do is not to let the pharmacology roll indiscriminately, and move in the optimal direction.

Little by little, time passed.

In the fire, hundreds of pharmacology are intertwined into a prototype of the elixir, some of which are heavy, like gold and stone utensils, flowing with precious light.

Chen Sheng observed the world inside the furnace with a calm expression, and slowly, controlled the furnace fire to burn the prototype of the elixir, so that the many mysteries inside condensed into one.

What can be seen is that the prototype of the elixir is becoming more and more rounded, and at a glance, the word "perfect" can immediately come to mind.

At this point, the Little Holy Grass Pill had already been refined.

"Hoo ......"

The rich Dan Qi rushed into the sky, accompanied by the rich vitality, gushing out from the mouth of the furnace, the flame inside had been extinguished, but the furnace wall was still burned red, with the brilliance of red golden glow.

At the bottom, there are nine emerald elixirs quietly placed, which are introverted and full of vitality, which are treasures among the first-order elixirs.

Such a life-prolonging elixir appearing at the auction will definitely make the old Qi Refining Realm throw away all his net worth.

……

Five years have passed.

This is not a long period of time, but for people who are old and dead in their hearts, it is enough to wear off the last bit of hard work.

Compared with the lush greenery of the courtyard flowers, Zhou Lie looks like a decaying old tree, and its roots have been cut clean by time.

His body is very thin and thin, his eyes are empty and lonely, and he doesn't care about the limit of life and death.

Click.

Footsteps were heard.

Zhou Lie looked over, it was the teacher, the other party was exactly the same as in his memory, there was no change, he was still a teenager, his body was straight, his eyes were warm, and he was wearing luxurious robes, like a celestial.

He looked at himself again, rotten like dead wood, his face was aging, and he couldn't help but lower his head, shameless.

Cultivation resources.

Exercises and secret techniques.

Elixir magic weapon.

He didn't lack any of these, and the conditions were much better than when the teacher was cultivating as a teenager, but he ended up in such a situation, and he could only say that he had wasted his life.

"This is the Little Holy Grass Pill, which can prolong your life for ten years."

Chen Sheng came to Zhou Lie and took out the Little Holy Grass Pill, now Zhou Lie is in this situation, and he must use the pill to continue his life in order to survive.

"Teacher, when was it refined?"

Zhou Lie was a first-order top alchemist, and he could see the quality of the little holy grass pill at a glance, which was terrifyingly high, and it was definitely not the handiwork of a first-order alchemist.

Then, it could only be the teacher, a second-order alchemist, who made a move and specially refined it for him.

"Five years ago."

Chen Sheng said calmly.

Five years ago, he thought about today.

Zhou Lie was sad and sad, originally as an alchemist, he would be the most able to transfer out of his body, and it would be easy to live to be one hundred and twenty years old.

Now one hundred and five years old, he is about to die, and he can only use pills to prolong his life.

"Disciple, I have always been a worry-free person, and I have been worrying about the teacher."

Zhou Lie looked at the little holy grass pill and didn't take it, but he was very grateful for Chen Sheng's intentions and thought of a lot.

When he was very young, he was under the teacher's door.

Got ...... Too much care.

At the age of seven, he was raised by his teacher and had a carefree childhood.

When he was a teenager, he was confused, and when he was in the outer gate, he was woken up by the teacher, threw away his burden, and traveled to the world of cultivating immortals.

When he was young, he willfully married a wife and had children, ignoring the teacher's arrangement and missing the age of building the foundation.

Middle-aged widow, went to the teacher to seek comfort, lost a son in his later years, it was the teacher who led the crowd to destroy the rich water generals and revenge.

Throughout his life, he has been living under the wing of his teacher, but he has not been able to give back a little, which is really ...... Fail.

"You are very good, I have no regrets about accepting you as a disciple."

Chen Sheng doesn't think so, Zhou Lie has been a very well-behaved person since he was a child.

Respect the teacher, and never do anything that would damage his prestige.

If you don't fight for power and profit, you are afraid that it will be difficult for him to do it.

In the face of the fairness and personal authority of the medicine house, Zhou Lie made many concessions and allowed many people to ascend to high positions.

Therefore, when that rainy night was raging, many people chose to believe and support Zhou Lie, so that he could do his best to do what he wanted.

That's the credit he has accumulated over the years of upholding the rules.

"Great......"

Hearing Chen Sheng say this, there was a light in Zhou Lie's eyes, and then he snorted and said, "The disciple wants to be willful again, don't take it...... Little Holy Herb Pill. ”

He said it with great difficulty, not because he was afraid of death, but because he rejected Chen Sheng's wishes.

This is very guilty for him.

"It's decided?"

Chen Sheng said silently.

"Yes...... ......"

Zhou Lie knew that he was willful again, and it was an extremely excessive and cruel thing to let the teacher watch him die.

But he ...... Really tired.

"Okay."

Chen Sheng and Zhou Lie's eyes met, and when he saw emotions such as shame, relief, pleading, and sadness, his heart softened, he closed his eyes, and nodded.
