In the early morning, the sky dawned, and the morning sun rose from the East China Sea, revealing a thousand zhang of glow, illuminating the mountains of Penglai Xianzong.

Among the mountains, there is an ordinary spiritual mountain peak and an annex.

Su Chen came out of the retreat room of the other courtyard after practicing for a month, and when he saw the blue sea and blue sky, the clear sky, his calm face couldn't help but show a light smile, feeling refreshed and comfortable.

"Finally build the third floor of the foundation period!"

Su Chen wanted to rush to the third floor of the foundation building period before leaving the mountain gate, so he retreated for a whole month, taking Bigu Pill and Juling Pill to cultivate.

Until last night, he recognized a green lotus primordial god in Hailing Mountain, and the third petal slowly opened, and finally stepped into the third-layer realm of the foundation building period, and stepped into the peak realm of the early stage of foundation building.

While Su Chen was overjoyed, he also obviously felt that his promotion to the third layer of the foundation building period this time was much more difficult than the cultivation of the first and second layers of the foundation building before.

It only took more than a year to cultivate from the first layer to the second layer, but this time it took nearly three or four years to cultivate to the third layer, which was more than three times.

Even if he was taking a second-order Gathering Spirit Pill, which was very conducive to the absorption and cultivation of the spirit essence, his cultivation speed inevitably slowed down.

"Perhaps, this is because the spiritual essence potential is relatively ordinary, which leads to slow cultivation. In the middle and late stages of foundation building, the more difficult it is to improve one's cultivation. ”

Su Chen took a deep breath.

In Penglai Immortal Sect, it is not uncommon for a monk with a mid-grade spiritual essence qualification like him. Most of the foundation building monks are struggling in the early and middle stages, and they are struggling to survive until the later stages.

Like Master Wang Qiu's alchemy, he has a lot of elixirs in his hands to cultivate, but the spiritual essence is very ordinary, and he is only in the middle stage of foundation building when he is more than a hundred years old, and he is afraid that he will barely be able to step into the late stage of foundation building when he is over two hundred years old.

Su Chen thought about his remaining life span of less than seventy years, and was a little worried. It only takes five years to build three floors of the foundation, which seems to be quite fast. However, the progress of cultivation will slow down year by year, and it is hard to say whether these longevity yuan will be enough to cultivate to the ninth layer of the foundation building stage by themselves.

...

Bang!

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, but saw a golden light passing from afar, flying to the other courtyard, and passing through the light shield of the courtyard. A golden transmission note appeared, suspended in the courtyard.

Su Chen couldn't help but be surprised, and as soon as he grabbed it, this hundred-mile transmission note fell into his hand.

This kind of low-level transmission note can be sent over a distance of no more than hundreds of miles, and is usually used to transmit messages within the Immortal Sect.

When he heard it, it was a transmission note sent by Master Sun Zhen, a Jindan monk, who asked him to go to Sun's mansion in the past few days, and he had something to order.

Su Chen was a little surprised, he had gone to Sun's Mansion to ask for peace in the past few years, and the master had never taken the initiative to find him. I don't know what the master suddenly asked him to do.

...

Su Chen threw out the Shadow Flying Sword, turned into a rainbow light, and shuttled through the thousands of mountains of Penglai Immortal Sect. After a while, he came to the gate of Sunfu Mountain and flew down, asking to see the master.

Soon, a member of the Sun clan came to meet him and came to the Sun Mansion Treasure Hall on the top of the mountain.

Su Chen walked into the main hall of the Sun Mansion and saw Sun Zhen and Mrs. Sun talking in a low voice, the eldest grandson Sun Hong, the eldest grandson Sun Qingning and others were there.

Sun Ruoxiang, who was wearing a red shirt, was also there, she stood aside with her eyebrows lowered, and when she saw Su Chen coming, she couldn't help but pout, with a very sullen look.

"The disciple has seen the master and the master. I don't know what the master is recruiting disciples?"

Su Chen stood still in the hall and bowed to Sun Zhen and Mrs. Sun.

When Sun Zhen saw him coming, he glanced at it and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "You have three layers of foundation building?"

He and Mrs. Sun looked at each other, both surprised.

Since Su Chen entered the immortal gate and stepped into the realm of foundation building, it has only been five years. Stepping into the pinnacle of the early stage of foundation building in such a short period of time may require a day and night of hard work to achieve it. If you slack off, you will slow down.

Moreover, Su Chen also cultivated as an alchemy master and a spirit farmer, and he also cultivated very well in these two aspects. It can be seen that this son has spent a lot of energy on cultivation, and this perseverance is also amazing.

"Yes, the disciple was in retreat last month, and he just stepped into the third layer of foundation building!"

Su Chen replied respectfully.

"Well, that's good!"

Sun Zhen nodded, showing a look of approval, and said, "Qing Ning should have told you before that the disciples of Zhuji need to go out of the mountain once in five years. Come to think of it, you're pretty much ready, right?!"

In the past few years, perhaps because of Master Sun's harmony, the indifferent relationship between Sun Zhen and Su Chen, the master and apprentice, has obviously improved.

Although it is not a real master and apprentice who has passed on the mantle, it is also much kinder.

"Yes, the disciple has been ready for the past two years, and is preparing to inform the master and the master before leaving the mountain. ”

Su Chen hurriedly said.

Sun Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Your first time going down the mountain to practice, it is best to go together, so that you can take care of it." My granddaughter Ruoxiang, she has been building the foundation for almost five years, and she should also go out of the mountain. It's just that the cultivation is still low, and the second floor has just been built.

And she has never been out of the mountain gate before, your master is not very relieved, and she is thinking about helping her find a few people to go together, so that they can take care of each other.

You are from the secular world to worship my Penglai Xianmen and learn more about the outside world. I thought about it, and asked you to take her to various places to experience and see for a long time. ”

"Uh, I... Take her through the experience?"

Su Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

He originally planned to go down the mountain alone to practice, and took this opportunity to go back to his hometown in Zhouzhuang, Gusu County to visit.

How did Shizun come up with the idea of letting Sun Ruoxiang go with him?

He thought about it, I am afraid that this is the idea of the master to create a chance for him and Sun Ruoxiang to be alone.

Su Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He had no intention in his heart, and Sun Ruoxiang, the granddaughter of the Sun Mansion, obviously didn't like it either. Isn't this a hard way to get together? I'm afraid there will be no good results from this downhill experience.

But Sun Zhen obviously didn't care about this, he only cared about the result.

Mrs. Sun once mentioned to him that she wanted to match Su Chen, a personal disciple, with her granddaughter Ruoxiang, to see if she could kiss each other. Su Chen's potential is still good, in case this apprentice is expected to set foot on Jindan Avenue in the future. The Sun family can be co-opted with only one granddaughter, which is always a great benefit.

Of course, this needs to create suitable opportunities for the two of them, such as this one to go down the mountain together and support each other, which is the most suitable opportunity.

"When you go down the mountain to practice, you can't play casually. As the official foundation disciples of Penglai Immortal Sect, the two of you have enjoyed the generous treatment of the Immortal Sect, and you must also contribute to the Immortal Sect.

The two of you go to the disciple hall, receive a dispatch from the Immortal Sect, and then go down the mountain to practice. In addition, although it is an adventure experience of going down the mountain, there can be no delay in cultivation. Su Chen is at ease as a teacher, and he will definitely not slack off. But Ruoxiang, you are too playful, when you come back, your grandfather will test your cultivation progress!"

Sun Zhen instructed Su Chen and Sun Ruoxiang.

"Yes, my granddaughter obeys the order, and she will definitely cultivate hard after going down the mountain!"

Sun Ruoxiang said with a well-behaved look on her face.

Su Chen couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the order.

Su Chen and Sun Ruoxiang left the Sun Mansion together, and the imperial sword flew to the disciple hall, preparing to receive a dispatch from the Immortal Sect, and then go down the mountain to practice.

Su Chen has been apprenticed to Sun Zhen for several years, but he has almost never intersected with Sun Ruoxiang, so naturally he has nothing to say all the way.

Soon, they arrived at the disciple's hall, found Deacon Zhou, and received a dispatch down the mountain.

That week, the deacon was overjoyed to see the two of them come to receive the mission.

"The two junior brothers and sisters came just in time.

A few days ago, in the north of Penglai Immortal Sect, there was a Qingwu Immortal City in the bitter cold land, and there were many scattered monks living there! This Immortal City has always accepted the protection of my Penglai Immortal Sect, but recently there was news that there was a big mess over there. It is urgent for our sect to send a few foundation building monks to help.

There are already three people on my side, Ji Zhengyuan, Zhuang Bufan, and Ge Yun, but there are still some people, and I am worried about the lack of manpower. The two of you came just in time, the five of you went down the mountain together and went to Qingwu Immortal City to take a look at the situation!"
