Chapter 32 Homecoming
Shen Cheng didn't notice the change in Master's face, he just thought about the fact that he would be able to go home after rushing to the fifth layer immediately!
But there's one more thing to do before that, and that's to practice the art of Edgeworth first. Master said that his Golden Snake Sword could also be reluctantly used as a flying magic weapon!
In fact, he had just entered the fourth layer, and Shen Chengcheng should have practiced this technique, but he had been busy cultivating the main technique and auxiliary spells recently, and by the way, he had to find the two escaped corpse wolves, so he had no time to practice!
This time I went back, this is much faster than the light body technique, and I must practice it as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Shen Cheng is no stranger to Edgeworth's flight and knows the essentials. Silently reciting the mantra that the master obtained, it took less than half a day to be able to control the golden snake sword to fly freely in the sky.
It seems that this sword technique is not particularly difficult to learn! It's just that no matter how much spiritual power is injected, the speed of the golden snake is still much slower than the little old man's peachwood sword!
Shen Cheng felt that he had completely mastered the sword technique, so he collected the Golden Snake Sword and returned to the stone chamber of the cave to meditate and prepare for the fifth layer of the pass at night.
The little old man knew that the apprentice was about to rush through the level, and even the Dan furnace, which kept refining pills every day, was temporarily extinguished at this time! He also specially sent Shen Cheng a medium-grade spirit stone in case Shen Cheng rushed to the critical moment to replenish the loss of spiritual power in his body!
At this time, Shen Cheng, who was sitting on the stone bed, felt the thick spiritual power emanating from the cyan wood attribute spirit stone beside him, and kept thanking this master in his heart.
After a while, he put two pills of different colors into his mouth, then slowly closed his eyes and began to exercise.
This night, Shen Cheng has maintained the same posture. I didn't move for half a minute, but the expression on my face was always changing. Sometimes anxious, sometimes painful, sometimes calm and soothing, sometimes fearful and struggling. At this time, if someone else is standing beside him, he will definitely be stunned by his wonderful expression!
The little old man on the other side was also meditating cross-legged on the stone bed in his stone room at the moment. His expression was the same as Shen Cheng's.
Shen Cheng's face was bitter, and he was also nervous here, and when Shen Cheng's side quieted down, he also returned to normal.
Obviously, the little old man should be using Ling Xiang's girl to probe Shen Chengchong's situation with the so-called "divine sense" mentioned!
Until the early morning of the next day, the little old man, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly raised his eyebrows, then opened his eyes, and breathed a long sigh of relief with a smile on his face.
You don't need to ask to know that Shen Cheng on the other side has broken through the bottleneck and successfully advanced to the fifth layer.
The little old man got down from the stone bed and walked into the stone hall, but he was not busy entering the Dan room to continue alchemy.
Because Shen Cheng had just advanced, he still needed to consolidate his realm at this time a little. The little old man sat on the stone bench, as if he was in deep thought, and I don't know what he was thinking!
An hour later, Shen Cheng walked out of the stone room with an excited face, holding the wood attribute spirit stone in his hand! Seeing that the little old man was busy in the Dan room, he ran over with a roar and reported to the master the news of his breakthrough to the advanced level.
This time, Shen Cheng felt that it was easier than the previous two times, and the spirit stone that the master gave him was useless.
The little old man naturally encouraged and said some things that need to be paid attention to after just advancing. Then he told him that this medium-grade spirit stone was also given to him, which was regarded as an encouragement for him to advance to the fifth layer this time.
You must know that this is a medium-grade spirit stone, and its value is far more than a hundred lower-grade spirit stones, such a medium-grade spirit stone is simply a windfall for immortal cultivators in the Qi Melting Period!
In the past, he heard from his master that the low-level deacon disciples of those major sects in the immortal cultivation world were responsible for all kinds of miscellaneous work in the sect, endlessly completing various tasks arranged by the sect and earning spirit stones for the sect. But every year, each person can only get more than ten low-grade spirit stones issued by the sect for cultivation, and the middle-grade spirit stones don't even think about it! Only when they cultivate to the foundation building period can they no longer do those miscellaneous labors, and receive a certain number of middle-grade spirit stones from the sect every year as a supply for peace of mind to cultivate.
"What the hell is going on? Master, who has always been shy in his pocket, how did he become so generous and generous today, and gave himself such a big fortune! Is it really just to encourage himself to advance to the fifth layer? And every time he advances, Master has to be excited for a while, why is today different from usual, it seems that he has a very heavy heart!" Shen Cheng looked at the medium-grade spirit stone in his hand while pondering that something seemed to be wrong!
After a while, the little old man saw that Shen Cheng was still standing dumbfounded, so he said: "Stinky boy, are you stupid if you have made a fortune? Hurry up and clean up, and don't forget to bring all the exercise books and pills with you when you leave, and you can't stop your cultivation every day after you go back! Also, there are two bottles of pills here for the teacher, which can help you break through the bottleneck and heal your wounds." ”
The little old man's words stunned Shen Cheng again! Why did you bring all the pills? It's not that you won't come back! Besides, the pills for treating injuries are fine, but he has just broken through the bottleneck, and at this time, he has broken through the bottleneck pills? Shen Cheng is even more puzzled!
After that, the little old man remembered something, and took out a white jade plate the size of half a palm in the storage bag, and the jade plate was engraved with the word "Ling". This is not the end, the little old man's fingers on the jade plate again, and in the jade plate, he pulled out another slightly smaller brand, which also has the word "order" engraved on the surface.
He handed the slightly smaller jade plate to Shen Cheng, then put the outer jade sleeve back into the storage bag and said, "I will give you another token for the teacher, if you encounter something extremely difficult to deal with, inject spiritual power to activate this token, and the teacher will be able to know and rush over as soon as possible." This card must be put away, not to show people at will, and not to be lost!"
"The disciple kept it in mind. Shen Cheng bowed.
The next day, Shen Cheng bid farewell to the people of Tongshi and embarked on the road back to his hometown. Recalling the worry and reluctance on Master's face when he was leaving, he couldn't help but feel a little emotion and melancholy in his heart!
Shen Cheng drove the Golden Snake Sword and flew away in the southwest direction for several hours, returned to Nanhe Town, which had been absent for a long time, and fell on Qingyun Mountain not far from the town. He planned to go to his parents' grave to pay respects first, and then go back to Chenjiazhuang to visit his little sister and aunt.
On the mountain, Shen Cheng took off his shabby-looking caftan brown and put on a gray-white vermilion deep coat. This is no longer an ordinary poor boy in a mountain village, as if he has become a reader who knows how to read and etiquette.
Shen Cheng specially went to the city to buy this dress when he passed by Yuanzhou City on the way, so that he could avoid acquaintances from recognizing him and causing unnecessary trouble! He also bought some incense, candles, and paper money for worship by the way.
Walking in the mountains, Shen Cheng looked at Nanhe Town in the distance, and mixed tastes couldn't help but come to his heart. When he came to the cemetery at the foot of the mountain, he soon found the grave of his father, and he ran to the grave of his father and mother in a few steps, and groped for the tattered wooden plaque with his father's name written on it, which was already blurred.
Daddy's voice and smile, scene by scene skipped in front of Shen Cheng's eyes!
"Father, mother, the unfilial son Shen Cheng has come to worship your second elder, your second elder is still fine over there, ......!" said Shen Cheng and fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed heavily.
After a long time, Shen Cheng, who was holding back a little grief, took out the paper incense he bought, and prepared to burn incense and burn paper to worship.
"Huh?" Shen Cheng, who was preparing to worship something, inadvertently raised his eyes and glanced at the side of the grave, only to find that his father's grave seemed to have been tampered with!
