15 The hope of returning

"I don't know where Your Excellency Lu Dao came from?" In the alchemy room of the Little Dan Pavilion, Chen Qigu asked casually while looking at the humble alchemy room, as if he was talking about a common thing.

That's right, the guest who surprised Nalan Fenghua and the others was Chen Qigu, one of the elders of the Alchemist Alliance, the alchemy master known as the phantom hand.

Chen Qigu personally came to the door, making Xiao Dange shine, but it was not unexpected by Chu Duan.

The small Dan Pavilion was not big, and Chen Qigu didn't want anyone else to be there when he saw Chu Duan, so the two of them were directly in the alchemy room, and Qin Yang left very interestingly.

The environment of the alchemy room shocked Chen Qigu, if you compare this alchemy room with his alchemy room, it is like a simple latrine compared to a mansion.

It was unimaginable that an alchemist who could refine the Nine Rank Pill would actually do alchemy in such a humble environment.

In Chen Qigu's heart, there is an indescribable feeling.

"There are some things that vague is better than clear. Chu Duan replied lightly, which was equivalent to answering Chen Qigu's question, could it be that he told him that he was from the primeval realm?

That's obviously not the right thing to do.

Without getting a satisfactory answer, Chen Qigu turned around and stared at Chu Duan, as if he wanted to see Chu Duan through, he was a Yuan Ji Realm swordsman, and an alchemy master, his spiritual thoughts were stronger than those of the same level of Yuan Ji Realm swordsmen, although he did not deliberately exude it, but a force oppressed him.

It's just that Chu Duan didn't notice it, and the clouds were light and light.

I couldn't see why, but the more I looked at it, the more mysterious it became, Chen Qigu simply retracted his gaze, looked at the bronze Dan furnace, and spoke again: "Okay, since you don't say where you come from, you can always say who you are taught from." ”

"There is no mentorship. Chu Duan said, this answer made Chen Qigu's face change, and then he was happy.

"Could it be that you are self-taught in alchemy?" Chen Qigu said happily.

"Sort of. Chu Duan replied ambiguously. Naturally, he would not say that he had obtained the inheritance of the Great Grandmaster, and with such a result, maybe this Chen Qigu would also be tempted, which would be absolutely unfavorable to himself.

Chen Qigu became more and more happy in his heart, and he had the urge to immediately propose to accept Chu Duan as an apprentice, but he still resisted this impulse, he didn't know enough, and he needed more before he could decide.

"Huiyang Dan, although I haven't made an in-depth identification. But my gut tells me that what you say is true. Chen Qigu said, looking at Chu Duan again: "It seems that in addition to studying by yourself, you should have also gotten some adventures." ”

"Sort of. Chu Duan replied the same thing, some adventures, nothing strange.

"Your foundation is very solid, and I have only seen it in my life. Chen Qigu said: "Have you ever thought about it. Learn more advanced alchemy techniques, because alchemy, it is not enough to have a solid foundation, the higher the level of the elixir. The higher the requirements, the higher the basic technique, at that time could not meet the needs of alchemy. ”

Chu Duan also understands this, in fact. Without the assistance of spiritual thoughts, Huiyang Dan may not be able to be refined, even if it is refined. It could just be a rough quality.

"Elder Chen is right, but I still have to practice the basic techniques more proficiently. Chu Duan said.

Chen Qigu couldn't help but be a little speechless in his heart, his words unconsciously revealed some information, hoping that Chu Duan could grasp it wisely and take the initiative to propose, but he didn't expect Chu Duan to mention it at all.

Do you want him to be a grandmaster and take the initiative to ask Chu Duan to worship him as a teacher?

Well, more needs to be learned, determine the character.

Next, Chen Qigu talked about other topics, knocking on the side to understand Chu Duan's character.

Chen Qigu is not young, he looks seventy or eighty on the outside, but he is actually eighty or ninety, he has rich experience, he has his own set of people, and he also has some means of speaking and doing things.

The temptation of words, inadvertently, will always reveal people's true nature, even if they are good at disguise.

It's just that under some casual temptation, Chen Qigu was even more speechless, this Chu Duan, the feeling given to Chen Qigu, is definitely not a sophisticated person, he knows the Tao through conversation, but he doesn't get into it.

Chu Duan's answers are often simple and direct, it sounds like he does answer every question, but it is not the point, it seems to be clear, and if you think about it carefully, it is not clear.

It's like tickling through a layer of cotton clothing.

Chen Qigu was not convinced, he was also a person who had lived for almost a hundred years, but he couldn't help a young man, how embarrassing it was to say it, the conversation continued, and he immediately found that Chu Duan didn't seem to know enough about the outside world, that is, the Heavenly Desolate Realm.

Slowly, an image took shape in Chen Qigu's heart.

The temperament is a little cold, not much deep in the city, there have been some adventures, diligent and hardworking, rarely go out, almost all the time is spent on alchemy, very obsessed with the way of alchemy, and stubborn in the heart, with their own persistence.

As soon as this image came out, Chen Qigu seemed to be hypnotized, and he suddenly became more and more satisfied with Chu Duan.

He has a solid foundation, he is not a treacherous person, he is diligent and hardworking, he has his own persistence, and he is an excellent apprentice candidate.

Chu Duan turned his mind, his expression was very calm, but in his heart, he was very excited, surging like a tide.

Heaven and Earth Palace, he heard the word.

Yes, this word was said by Chen Qigu, it was said by Chen Qigu at random when he was tempting Chu Duan, and before that, when Chu Duan was talking to Nalan Fenghua Qin Yang and others, he also inadvertently mentioned the Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace, but they didn't react, and they also said that they didn't hear about this place.

At that time, Chu Duan felt that maybe their level was not high enough, so he didn't know the Dao, because he instinctively felt that there must be a connection between the Heavenly Desolate Realm and the Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace.

Now, hearing from Chen Qigu's mouth and listening to his tone made Chu Duan feel sincerely excited.

It is impossible for him to stay in the Heavenly Desolate Realm all the time, the Ancient World Realm, with his concern, he must go back, and the clue to go back is obviously in the Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace.

"I seem to have heard of the Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace before, I don't know where the Dao is?" Chu Duan suddenly spoke.

"Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace, that is the most mysterious place in the Heavenly Desolate Realm, and it is also the most powerful place, even I can't go there, so I don't know where the Dao is. Chen Qigu was thinking about how to get Chu Duan to take the initiative to apprentice, and when he heard Chu Duan's words, he replied casually: "However, the Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace will be open once every hundred years to recruit talented disciples from the outside world, as far as I know, that is the way to enter the Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace, and there may be other methods, but I don't know the way." ”

Chu Duan nodded slightly.

"Elder Chen, can you know how long it will be until the next Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace opens?" Chu Duan asked again.

"Next time...... Three years to go...... No, I do the math...... About two years, I don't know the exact date. Chen Qigu said casually, and immediately reacted: "Are you planning to participate in the centennial election of the Heavenly Desolate Earth Palace?"

"There is a plan for this. Chu Duan said.

"How old are you this year?" Chen Qigu looked at Chu Duan and suddenly asked.

"It's over thirty. "Chu Duan was stunned, how old is it? Since he came to this world, he really hasn't thought about this, but if he calculates vaguely, he can be sure that his age is over thirty years old, and as for his thirties, he has to calculate it clearly.

"Over thirty. Chen Qigu looked at Chu Duan and shook his head: "Then you have no hope, the first requirement for the 100-year election of the Heavenly Desolate Palace is that the age must not exceed thirty." ”

Chu Duan was stunned, the age must not exceed thirty, so there is no hope for himself?

No, the time has not yet come, everything is unknown, no matter what, he is also the one who has obtained a piece of the Heavenly Desolate Sword Order, maybe, not limited by age.

However, it is not yet possible to be sure, and everything will only be opened again when the old heaven and earth will be turned on again.

"On the road of the Heavenly Desolate Palace, I advise you not to have any hope, because that is unrealistic. Chen Qigu sighed slightly, shook his head and said to Chu Duan, and immediately, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Your alchemy foundation is very solid, even I can't compare, and your alchemy talent is not bad, have you ever thought about going further in the way of alchemy and becoming an admirable grandmaster?"

"Let's take one step at a time. Chu Duan said, he didn't plan to go far in the path of alchemy, and he wouldn't put too much energy into it, at present, it was just an expedient measure.

Chu Duan's answer made Chen Qigu, who was full of anticipation, almost vomit blood.

There is no ambition, there is no ambition!

Resisting the urge to scold his head and face, Chen Qigu patiently continued: "You must know that alchemists are very precious and have a very high status, not to mention that I can see that you love alchemy very much. Chen Qigu said: "You must know that the alchemy is broad and profound, relying on your own exploration alone, you may gain something at the beginning, but in the future, if you want to reach a higher and deeper realm, it is very difficult, if someone guides, everything will be different." ”

"I suggest that you should find a good master and become a grandmaster in the future, it is not impossible. Chen Qigu said: "I am an elder of the Alchemist Alliance, and there are many grandmasters in our Alchemist Alliance, I can introduce one for you." ”

Saying this, Chen Qigu was thinking in his heart, is it normal for Chu Duan to take the initiative to ask him to apprentice.

"Thank you Elder for your kindness, but I'm not here. Chu Duan also understood the meaning of the other party's words, if he was really a person who was bent on going to the end on the path of alchemy, perhaps, he would consider Chen Qigu's words.

But then again, even if Chu Duan wants to go all the way to the end on the path of alchemy, he will not worship Chen Qigu as a teacher, just an alchemy master, and he who has the inheritance of the great alchemy master really doesn't look down on him.

If the other party is an alchemy grand master, it will be about the same.

Chu Duan's answer made Chen Qigu's face change suddenly, and a wave of anger suddenly rushed out from the depths of his heart, rushing straight to his head, his face turned red from anger. (To be continued......)
