Chapter 139: Changing Hearts
When he arrived at Chaotic Cloud Mountain, Su Aotian instructed Fan Ling'er to hide aside first to see how he fought with the Void Refining Demon Beast. Fan Ling'er suddenly realized why Su Aotian always came back scarred, and at the same time was dumbfounded at Su Aotian's perverted body. This time Su Aotian and this demon beast fought a defeat, after the demon beast escaped, Su Aotian asked Fan Ling'er to pick a thousand-year-old acacia vine, and then found a place to rest for a while, and said to Fan Ling'er: "Miss Ling'er, speaking of which, my qualifications are far inferior to you, and I have not been able to break through the Yuanying so far." You and I are both at the bottom of the immortal cultivators, with no background, no talent, no resources, if you want to go further, there is only one way, and that is to endure hardship. The hardships I am talking about are not ordinary suffering, but nine deaths and a lifetime, just when my life is gone, just because I don't break through to a higher realm, I will fall sooner or later. So my cultivation method is extremely dangerous, and it is possible to face death at any time, if you really have to figure it out, from here to the south, there is a tiger demon beast that has been cultivated in the infancy stage, you can use it as a cultivation object first, and don't retreat until you are exhausted. Every time you overdraw, there is bound to be something new. That's all I can tell you, and the rest is up to you. ”
Fan Ling'er's face showed hesitation and worry, she thought for a while, a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes, she took out her sword and walked south. Su Aotian breathed a sigh of relief, after this period of understanding, he had some understanding of Murong Qiubai and Fan Ling'er, their qualifications were neither good nor bad, if they applied for the sect, they belonged to that kind of dispensable and the like, if they were lucky, they might also be able to enter a small sect, and if they developed smoothly in the future, they would also be able to go further on the road of cultivation. But more of these people, like their current situation, have been classified as first-class waste, basically have no future, no sect is willing to waste resources on them, they can only cultivate wherever they want, and fend for themselves.
Murong Qiubai and Fan Ling'er, compared to most casual cultivators, still have a good background, and the family may have had glory before, although it is now in decline, but it can still give them limited support, so that they are quite smooth in the early stage of cultivation, and therefore have a lot less experience. They have not experienced much of the hardships that ordinary casual cultivators have endured, let alone experienced any life and death tests, and they can't even imagine the hardships and hardships like Su Aotian. Because of this, their hearts are still relatively simple, and the ruthless selfishness and ruthless indifference of ordinary monks cannot be shown in them, and they are only suitable for living in a mild environment like Jingxiang City, and if they are put in the wild, their survivability is basically zero.
It was precisely when he saw that the essence of these two people was not bad, and Su Ao Tiancai took the opportunity to mention them. He stayed in Murong Qiubai's house, at first he wanted to see what Murong Qiubai's purpose was, but later found out that Murong Qiubai was really decadent, and he had no special purpose for himself, so he originally wanted to leave, but Fan Ling'er's kindness made him feel commendable, so he decided to stay for a while longer, and by the way, improve his cultivation, accumulate resources, and make some preparations. I was already clueless in Chengtian Prefecture, and after the matter was over, I was ready to go to North Xuanwu City to inquire about the news of Fengyin Valley. It's a long journey, and it can be very dangerous, and things like talismans need to be prepared to reduce the risk.
As for Fan Ling'er and Murong Qiubai, Su Aotian thought that this would be enough, and he would not provide more help. In the matter of cultivation, the influence left by Master on him has long been ingrained, and he must rely on himself, a principle that he believes should be followed not only by himself, but also by any monk.
Not long after, Fan Ling'er ran back in embarrassment, leaving many wounds of different depths on her body. Su Aotian didn't speak, it seemed that her spare strength was still very abundant, and she was not overdrawn at all. Fan Ling'er saw that Su Aotian didn't say a word, only looked at her with her eyes, took care of her own healing, and after taking a breath for a while, she gritted her teeth, and turned back with her sword.
In the following days, Fan Ling'er still came back from time to time, but the interval between each time became longer and longer. Every time she came back, Su Aotian didn't give her a good face, and this girl was angry, but she also held her breath in her heart, and tossed herself more and more fiercely. Later, she almost crawled back, and Su Aotian felt that she had been pushed too hard at once, and it might backfire, so he took Fan Ling'er back.
When he returned home, Murong Qiubai was no longer standing in the courtyard, Fan Ling'er was not relieved, and hurriedly went to the house to look for him, and heard Murong Qiubai exclaim: "Ling'er, what's wrong with you, why are you so injured?" Then I heard Fan Ling'er muttering a lot to him.
After about a meal, Murong Qiubai came to Su Aotian's chamber and asked, "You said that I don't need to enter the Tiannan Sword Sect to surpass Yang Tianxiong, is this true?" Su Aotian looked at him with blazing eyes, his eyes flashed with hope, and he smiled softly: "What is Yang Tianxiong? As long as you work hard, sooner or later, you will completely forget this person, and feel ridiculous that you once wanted to compare with him." ”
Murong Qiubai said: "Okay, I believe in you, you teach me!" Su Aotian shook his head: "I can't teach you, in fact, I won't teach you at all." The only thing you can rely on is yourself. Presumably Miss Ling'er has already told you, as long as you are not afraid of hardship, what can't you do?" Murong Qiubai stomped his feet heavily: "Tomorrow, let's go to Chaoyun Mountain together!" Su Aotian pouted: "If you want to go yourself, even if I don't heal, Miss Ling'er will heal." Fan Ling'er had already followed in at this time, and when she heard this, the three of them laughed together.
In the days that followed, the three of them spent their days cultivating hard. Whenever Murong Qiubai and Fan Ling'er came back with open skin and scars, Su Aotian would tell them some of his experiences, and let them let the aura swim in the broken body tissues as much as possible when they were trying to repair their injuries, so that they could speed up the repair of their injuries and develop some small meridians to speed up the absorption of vitality. At the beginning, Su Aotian relied on his powerful soul to grope by himself, practiced his body to the point of incompleteness, and suffered all kinds of pain, only to gain bit by bit, these two people's soul cultivation could not do this step at all, but fortunately, with Su Aotian's previous experience, he bypassed many detours and suffered a lot less. But of course, other people's feelings are completely different from their own personal experiences, so their effect on developing meridians is much worse than Su Aotian's, but compared to their previous speed, their speed has increased a lot, which is equivalent to raising their own qualifications a lot. If a sect like the Tiannan Sword Sect came to recruit disciples again at this time, he would be able to pass smoothly without much effort.
Murong Qiubai and Fan Ling'er were both cultivators in the Yuan Infant Stage, and Murong Qiubai was even more in the late Yuan Infant Stage, dealing with the demon beasts in the Yuan Infant Stage, and after spending the first few days of discomfort, he became more and more handy. Su Aotian then asked them not to use supernatural powers, but only to fight with their bodies. He himself is also going deeper and deeper in Troubled Cloud Mountain. Half a year later, Murong Qiubai made rapid progress, his body was several times stronger than before, and his whole body was like steel and iron bones, but it was still very different from Su Aotian. Su Aotian threw him a few shield talismans and stand-in talismans and asked him to fight against the Void Demon Beast.
Murong Qiubai went hard, and at first he almost lost his life, and he relied on the stand-in charm to pick it up. Later, seeing that Su Aotian's talisman was extraordinary, his confidence increased greatly, and he also had the confidence to fight for his life with the Refining Void Demon Beast, and he was gradually able to maneuver one or two. A year later, Fan Ling'er also came to practice with the Void Demon Beast, and Su Aotian saw that the cultivation of the two was also on the right track, so he thought it was time to leave.
After returning home that day and resting for a while, Su Aotian told the two of them the idea of going to Xuanwu City. As soon as Murong Qiubai and Fan Ling'er heard this, they tried their best to stop it, saying that this is a long way to go, and it is too dangerous to say that you are a monk who is a cultivator of the Void Spirit, and it is too dangerous, so it is better to wait until your cultivation is improved. How could Su Aotian be moved by what they said, and at their insistence, the two of them were helpless, although they were reluctant in their hearts, they could only rely on Su Aotian. At the time of parting, Murong Qiubai was sad, Fan Ling'er was even more tearful, Su Aotian didn't care, and said with a smile: "When I come back from Xuanwu City, I will be a Yuanying monk, if you are still this cultivator, you won't have the face to see me at that time!"
Murong Qiubai said: "Don't die on the road, otherwise I, Senior Monk Murong, will go to avenge you." But to get down to business, I already have a feeling in my heart, I will definitely break through to refining the void within a hundred years, if you can't come back within a hundred years, don't come to Jingxiang City to find us at that time. After I broke through the refining void, I planned to take Ling'er to Purgatory City, which was the place where the monks could improve rapidly compared to Chaotic Cloud Mountain. Su Aotian was curious and asked, "Hearing you say this, this Purgatory City is still a bit famous, why didn't you tell me earlier, so I can go and have a look?"
Murong Qiubai said: "Tell you? You stupidly rushed in and sent you to death? This Purgatory City is the sin city of the Eastern Region, and the extremely vicious people in the entire Eastern Region, as well as those who are chased and killed by the enemy and have no way out, are all there. This kind of place exists in every district of the Chengtian Continent, there are no city guards, no taxes, and no rules, it is really the law of the jungle, as long as you cultivate high enough, you can kill whoever you want, of course, it is easy to be killed. The reason why these places are tacitly allowed to exist is that, apart from the fact that there are some extremely powerful cultivators in the city, they are more used by some big sects as a place of trial for elite disciples. There, no one will care about your identity and background, as long as you provoke someone you can't afford to provoke, you can only deserve to lose your life, and the sect must not use this as an excuse to retaliate. ”
