Chapter Forty-Nine: A Traveler
Purple Jade Toad, an intermediate-level spirit monster, has a strength of five to six levels in the Guyuan Realm. Its whole body is full of treasures, its spit can cure all diseases, its eyes are excellent tonic, its fangs and bones can be used to forge weapons, its toad skin can be used to make armor, and most of all, its blood. Toad blood can quench the cultivator's body, expel the impurities in the cultivator's body, make the cultivator's body ethereal and pure, and greatly increase the cultivation speed.
It's just that its number is extremely rare, and it usually lives in dim and damp netherworlds, where most of these places are places where poisonous insects and beasts gather, and once cultivators with poor strength set foot on it, few of them come out alive.
"I don't know if there will be a purple jade toad in the Necromantic Abyss......" Qianyu muttered to himself in a low voice.
Zhao Yangtian said: "Of course there is, I found one a few days ago." ”
Qianyu looked happy and said, "Where is it?"
Zhao Yangtian replied, "Follow me." After speaking, he stepped forward, and the person had already appeared a hundred zhang away, Qianyu used the divine step to the extreme, but he still couldn't catch up, so he could only follow far behind and said: "Master, wait for me......"
Qian Yuying also followed, and Qian Yu dissuaded: "Yuying, this matter is too dangerous, you stay in the mansion and wait for my good news." The master's strength is profound, and if I follow him, I will definitely be able to come back safe and sound. ”
"Hmm. Qian Yuying nodded obediently and gave up her plans to go with her.
"Whew!"
Zhao Yangtian's body seemed to be integrated with the space, and with a few steps, he could shuttle hundreds of zhang, and Qianyu was out of breath behind him, still out of reach.
Soon, Zhao Yangtian came to the periphery of the Necromantic Abyss, stopped temporarily, and after a while, Qian Yu ran over sweating profusely, gasping for breath.
"Apprentice, why are you so slow?" Zhao Yangtian said with a smile.
Qianyu was a little speechless, obviously you are too fast, right?
"Our destination is a swampy area within the Necronomicon, and we should be able to reach it within ten minutes. ”
"Ten...... Minutes?" Qianyu was surprised by Zhao Yangtian's way of calculating time.
Looking at Qianyu's surprised appearance, Zhao Yangtian was stunned for a moment and said, "I forgot that you don't understand this." Let me explain to you, one minute equals sixty seconds, and ten minutes is six hundred seconds. ”
"Master, seconds...... What is it?" Qianyu felt very unfamiliar, and looked at Zhao Yangtian blankly.
Zhao Yangtian patiently explained, "Listen, like me, count from the beginning, every time you count, it's one second." Sixty counts are one minute. As he spoke, he began to count at a frequency of once per second, and Qian Yu suddenly nodded his head again and again, gradually understanding what the concept of seconds and minutes was that Zhao Yangtian was talking about.
Zhao Yangtian continued: "Apprentice, can you guess how old I am this year?"
"Master's age...... It should be around Lent. Qianyu said seriously.
"Wrong. Zhao Yangtian smiled and said, "Guess again." ”
"Pentecost?"
"Still wrong. ”
"Could it be...... Shizun has already entered the age of the sixtieth year?" Qianyu looked at Zhao Yangtian with some disbelief, Zhao Yangtian had a handsome face, and there was a glint in his eyes, he didn't look like a person in the sixtieth armor at all.
"Haha, you're still wrong. Zhao Yangtian's smile was even brighter, and he said, "Actually, I am already one hundred and two years old. ”
"What?" Qianyu looked surprised.
"You can't see it, do you?" asked Zhao Yangtian.
Qianyu nodded immediately.
"On the way to cultivation, many people think that breaking the "immortal aperture" is the starting point, but they don't know that only when they enter the Yuanyin realm can they truly embark on the road of seeking immortals. Only by advancing to the Yuan Yin Realm will the life span of a cultivator be extended, and the higher the strength, the longer the lifespan. ”
Qianyu listened carefully, what Zhao Yangtian said was something he had never heard of. He was very curious about how long a cultivator of the Transformation Realm like Zhao Yangtian could have.
"Master, with your current cultivation, how long can you increase your lifespan?"
"About two or three hundred years. Zhao Yang Tianyun said lightly.
"Master is amazing. Qianyu showed a look of praise and said: "I will also reach the realm of Shizun in the future, live for two or three hundred years, ignore birth, old age, sickness and death, and live forever in heaven and earth." ”
"It's a pity," Zhao Yangtian changed his words and said with a wry smile: "Sometimes a long life is not a good thing, especially when you have lost your beloved, you live alone in the world, leaving only endless loneliness and loneliness, the longer you live, the deeper the torture ......"
"The master said that he loved ...... Is it the princess's senior?" Qian Yu guessed.
Zhao Yangtian nodded melancholy, sighed, and said: "She and I have been in love for a long time, from acquaintance to acquaintance to love, we have experienced countless ups and downs along the way, and finally combined, at that time, I felt that we were happier partners than immortals." Her smile, her every movement, her every angry or coquettish expression were engraved in my heart like a brand. It's just that in the end, she couldn't beat God after all......"
"Disciple, do you know what the biggest difference between immortals and mortals is?" Zhao Yangtian suddenly asked.
Qianyu looked stunned, Zhao Yangtian spoke without a theme at all, he was free and casual, he said whatever he wanted, and the questions he suddenly asked made him unable to give an answer immediately.
Zhao Yangtian was waiting for his answer.
After pondering for a moment, Qianyu replied: "Mortals can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death, but immortals can live with heaven and earth and live forever. ”
"You're half right. Zhao Yangtian's face was dark, and he said slowly: "In addition to what you said, there is a significant difference between immortals and mortals. ”
"What's the difference?"
"Love. Zhao Yangtian replied, "Mortals have seven emotions and six desires, but immortals have six pure roots, they must cut off the earth, cut off feelings, and concentrate only on cultivation, so that they can go further on the road of seeking immortals." The reason why she fell is because of the word "love" ......"
Qianyu listened with relish, but Zhao Yangtian had no desire to continue, and said: "You are still young and your strength is insufficient, it is too far away to tell you now, when your strength is enough, you will naturally understand these things." ”
"Apprentice, after telling you so much, do you think that being a teacher is different from others?" Zhao Yangtian asked.
Qianyu nodded slightly and said, "It's really a little different." Some of the concepts that Master said have never been mentioned by anyone since I was a child. ”
"This is normal, because you are not from the same world. Zhao Yangtian said lightly.
Qianyu was stunned again, Zhao Yangtian's words always surprised him.
"It's not a secret, the teacher traveled from another planet. ”
"Crossing?"
"Hmm. Zhao Yangtian nodded lightly and said, "This is a way that you can't understand, you just need to know that the teacher is not from this world." ”
Qianyu nodded blankly, Zhao Yangtian said a lot of information that he couldn't understand at once, his head was full of questions, and he felt very confused.
"I've been talking for so long, and I'm a little dry. Zhao Yangtian looked at Qianyu and said, "Apprentice, do you have any wine?"
"Yes. Qianyu happened to have his own "happy" wine, so he took it out and handed it to Zhao Yangtian.
Zhao Yangtian took the wine jug and took a small sip, the wine entered his throat, and the spicy feeling extended from the root of his tongue all the way to his heart, making him sigh: "What a strong wine!
"I brewed it myself. ”
"Do you know how to make wine?" Zhao Yangtian looked at Qianyu in surprise, and Qianyu suddenly had a feeling of impending disaster.
"Hmm. Qianyu nodded in acknowledgement.
"Haha, I don't have to buy wine anymore for the teacher. Zhao Yangtian raised his head and drank half of the pot in one go, screaming with pleasure.
Qianyu could only smile bitterly, and then reminded: "Master, you said that you would take me to find the Purple Jade Toad, and we stayed here...... It's been about twenty minutes. ”
Qianyu learned and used it lively, and soon used the unit that Zhao Yangtian used to measure time.
"Yes, yes," Zhao Yangtian smiled wryly, put away the flask, and said, "I almost forgot about this, hehe." ”
"Let's go, let's go to the swamp to find the purple jade toad!"
