Half an hour later, the chalcedony turned to dust.

Zhao Yan looked at the trace of aura that had emerged from his body, withdrew his inner look, swept away the dust with one hand, and muttered: "It's still a little slow, the aura content of 10,000 chalcedony hasn't even been replenished to one-thirtieth of the node." ”

After saying that, he smiled again, laughing at himself for being too dissatisfied. With his current cultivation efficiency to the outside world, he was afraid that more than ninety percent of the immortal cultivators in the world would be crazy with jealousy, because even if those immortal cultivators could achieve the same speed of entering the realm, they would not be able to have the ability to consume ten thousand chalcedony in half an hour.

This is the characteristic of the grass and wood demons, they can transform the external aura essence and the qi of heaven and earth that surpass their own within a time limit.

Zhao Yan has long since lost the idea of despising his grass demon background in the past, on the contrary, he has become very happy. If it weren't for the outstanding ability of the grass and wood demons, so that he had the ability to absorb, it was unknown whether he could get to where he is today.

After sitting in place for a while, he got up from the ground, very satisfied with his current state of spirit.

He had just survived the calamity and had overdrawn his aura, and the whole person was actually very tired, but he didn't want to make the old man who taught him wait and held on, but now with a large amount of aura replenishment entering the node, the situation is much better.

Zhao Yan waved his fist, feeling the power of the new level, smiled slightly, and planned to push the door and go out to find the old master and Bai Bao.

As soon as he walked to the door, the old master and Bai Bao pushed the door in first.

The old master saw that Zhao Yan was in excellent spirits, and said: "Yes, the grass and wood demons are really talented, at first I guessed that it would take you a year and a half to recover your best condition, but the result was that the door was closed and opened, and this speed is probably comparable to few people in the world." ”

Zhao Yan got out of the way and bowed, and said, "It's a pity, I can only expand my range when I absorb the qi of natural heaven and earth, otherwise my cultivation speed will be raised by another level, and I should be able to compete with the real elites of the world." ”

He hadn't intersected with the real famous immortal cultivators of the same realm in the world, and he didn't know what his cultivation efficiency was, he just weighed the situation of Gao Ming and a group of Cangzhou masters in his heart, and came up with a vague answer.

The old master crossed Zhao Yan's side, sat on the ground, and said with a smile: "Elite? You are an elite now, you don't know the world thoroughly enough, and you always like to look down on yourself, which is sometimes a good thing, it can make you work hard, but it may also be a bad thing, but fortunately, you are optimistic and positive and will not go to extremes." ”

Zhao Yan waved his hand and swept away his long hair, agreeing with the old master's opinion in his heart.

The reason why he needed to be free and desperately strive for cultivation was because the old master said this, because he had no sense of security in the cultivation world, and he was not as sound as the legal system of the earth's homeland.

Although he is a thug on the earth, he is often beaten and even seriously injured, but his life safety can be guaranteed, but the cultivation world is different, here people fight, people fight with demons, demons fight with demons, except for ordinary people, as long as they can speak, they are fighting endlessly.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this.

The old master noticed that Zhao Yan's mood had become a little depressed, and said, "What's the matter?

Zhao Yan sat down by the door and said, "I cultivate to be able to live well in this world, you say, what are you cultivating for?"

In the past, he always fantasized about the world of swords and nomadic rivers and lakes, and when he went deep into it, he realized one thing, the reality in fantasy is a beautiful dream compared to the reality in reality, and there are deaths and injuries as far as the eye can see.

He didn't know when he was a little disgusted, and at the same time he felt that it was really not a good thing to have too much personal force.

The old master was stunned for a moment when asked, was silent for a while, and said, "It's not that you asked, I myself almost forgot what I embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the sky outside the door with slightly cloudy eyes, as if he was trying to think about a story from a long, long time ago.

Zhao Yan sat quietly on the side with Bai Bao in his arms, without disturbing the old master's reminiscence.

After a long time, the old master's eyes glowed, and he was so excited that he slapped the case, and said to Zhao Yan: "Hey, I remember, I first cultivated to defeat the demons, and then to overthrow the Yu Kingdom...... It didn't matter, I almost forgot about it. ”

Zhao Yan was startled by the old master's startle, and thought that he remembered some old grudge and couldn't stand it, but when he was about to speak, he heard the old master's voice first.

"I just forgot!", tears slipped from the corners of the old master's eyes, and there was regret and abruptness in his eyes.

The old master paused when he said this, raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and smiled at Zhao Yanlang: "I finally understand why I was able to succeed back then, why I am stuck on the edge of the breakthrough now, and why you can soar in strength in a short period of time!"

Zhao Yan glanced at Bai Bao in his arms, and when he saw Bai Bao's stunned look, he was also a little confused.

After thinking about what he said before, he felt that there was no profound truth, and he couldn't figure out what the old master thought, in order to avoid unpleasant nonsense, he simply didn't speak, waiting for the old master to reveal the answer.

The old master stood up from the ground mat and bowed down to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan was even more stunned, and hurriedly stood up to stop him: "Don't don't, don't! What are you going to do?"

The old master said with emotion: "It's not all about respecting you, half of it is for the Tao." ”

"To be honest, I don't even know the meaning of my words now?", Zhao Yan first laughed, and then said in surprise.

Hahaha....... The old master couldn't stop laughing, and patted Zhao Yan on the shoulder: "The Tao is simple in the world, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise." ”

Zhao Yan pouted: "Then you mean I'm stupid." ”

"It's not that it's stupid, it's just that the book is still a little less read", the old master pointed to Zhao Yan's head: "To put it bluntly, it is inspiration, which anyone can capture, but there is a sequence and a difference in income." ”

"So what did you just capture?", Zhao Yan said.

The old master stroked his beard and said proudly: "I have found the original starting point, and I have also understood that cultivation is self-cultivation, and I have forgotten myself, how do you think I can continue to practice?"

Zhao Yan asked tentatively, "Do you mean the goal and motivation of your cultivation?"

"Yes, it's the goal, the motivation," the old master nodded and said.

Zhao Yan held back a smile, squinted his eyes and looked at the old master for a while, and didn't say some impolite words.

In his mind, the old master is simply confused, this truth even the people in the market know, there is no motivation without a goal, not to mention the timeline is often a cultivation process of millions or tens of thousands, how can you persist without a goal?
