Chapter 10: Like a Dream
Cui Ting is dead?
When a familiar classmate told him the news, he was still a little at a loss as to what to do—because he couldn't tell if he was joking or serious. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but when he saw Feng Zhenyi appear in front of him with that familiar figure in his arms, the whole person was stunned!
Feng Zhenyi didn't stop when he walked in front of Nu Tian, as if he hadn't seen him at all. However, at this time, Nu Tian didn't have the heart to pay attention to Feng Zhenyi's attitude, he just stared at Cui Ting's pale face, hoping to see a trace of vitality from it. However, this wish did not come true, and what Nu Tian saw was always the last thing he wanted to see - Cui Ting was indeed dead!
"This academy - someone dares to kill people in the academy!" I don't know who whispered behind his back. There was confusion, confusion, and sadness in the tone, but more often than that, anger and fear.
"Someone dares to kill people in the academy...... Someone can actually kill people in the academy!" The man said softly, but everyone heard two meanings in their hearts, and clearly understood the bad consequences of this matter, so a trace of anger involuntarily rose in everyone's hearts.
Nu Tian ignored the discussions of everyone behind him, and just silently followed Feng Zhenyi's back and accompanied his friends to complete this last part of the road. The mountain road that used to be easy and freehand has become bitter and difficult to walk, and every plant and tree has inadvertently burrowed into my mind, as if to declare that my location is here in the first place......
Unconsciously, this team finally came to the front of the Haoran Righteous Qi Palace. And when Nu Tian was about to follow Feng Zhenyi into the palace gate, the teacher Zhang Fu walked out of there, blocked in front of him, and shook his head gently: "Go back, the next thing is not for you to interfere in!"
A gentle word was like a thunderbolt, and Nu Tian stood like a log outside the gate of the Haoran Righteous Qi Palace.
"I can only watch my friend's death, and I can't even know what happened.
For the next few days, Nu Tian was like a walking corpse, completely dejected. Except for the morning reading, he seemed to have forgotten about his practice, and just stayed in a daze every day, as if he was looking at something, as if he was waiting for something. It wasn't until one day that the teacher Zhang Fu called him to him and taught him a good lesson, that the situation changed.
"Teacher ......"
"Don't ask anything, what happened this time is completely beyond your ability, and it won't do you any good to know it. It's better to calm down and practice hard, this is the right way!" Zhang Fu shook his head lightly, interrupting Nu Tian's question.
"Don't ask anything, don't care about anything, teacher, how do you let me deal with myself, she's my friend!" said Nu Tian sadly.
"Alas!" Zhang Fu sighed softly, and said in a deep voice: "Cultivation is like this, fighting with the heavens, fighting with the earth, seeking that faint trace of vitality. I can only tell you that this time the matter is not simple, even if it was not Cui Ting who was present at the time, but me, I am afraid that the end will be average!"
"......" Nu Tian looked at his mentor in shock, unable to say a word.
"I have entrusted you to be a small official in the Jin Kingdom, and I will have a good time. Studying behind closed doors doesn't do you much good right now. You can't lose face in the academy if you go out this time, otherwise I won't let you go!" Zhang Fu calmly said a piece of news that surprised Nu Tian.
"Everything is subject to the teacher's arrangement!" Originally, Nu Tian wanted to argue, but when he saw the teacher's stern face, he knew that this matter could not be changed, so he agreed.
"Be careful when you're out and about, and don't be lazy just because you're out – you know?" Zhang Fu commanded earnestly.
"Disciple knows!" replied Nu Tian bowed his head respectfully.
"Let's go down!"
After bowing respectfully, Nu Tian slowly withdrew from the room.
From beginning to end, Nu Tian did not get a trace of Cui Ting's tragic death, which made him very unwilling. But from the teacher's words, Nu Tian learned that the enemy was very powerful, and even a master of the Void Period like Zhang Fu was deeply jealous! Everything lies in strength, as long as there is enough strength, maybe everything will change. Nu Tian's eyes unconsciously flashed with a cold light, and he had secretly made a decision in his heart.
Three days later, in a secret room, a golden page lying quietly on the ground suddenly floated up without wind and softly. The pages shook in the air, and a figure spat out, then curled up briskly and landed in the man's hand.
"Alas!" the figure sighed softly, a hint of melancholy faintly visible between his brows.
This person is naturally Nutian, who began to retreat after returning to his residence three days ago, and inspired the "Dream Returning Stone" given by Ping Shiyu, and spent more than 100 years in the dream world. But it's a pity that a hundred years of penance couldn't allow him to cross that threshold and become a monk of the God Transformation Realm in one fell swoop!
"I haven't been able to set foot in the realm of transforming gods for more than a hundred years, what is wrong with this?" The discrepancies between his own cultivation and the cultivation experience records in the academy are getting bigger and bigger, and Nu Tian can't help but start to lose patience, and he becomes more and more unconfident in whether he can enter the realm of transforming gods.
The only consolation is that after investing a lot of precious top-quality materials again, Yushu has grown stronger and stronger. And the gourds on the immortal vine have also matured three, which can be regarded as the biggest harvest of this penance! Originally, according to the conjecture of one ripening in ten years, he should have harvested ten gourds. But what I never imagined was that under the cultivation of different elixir spiritual liquids, the growth rate of the gourd was also different.
It only takes ten years for the "Baizhen Jade Liquid" to blossom and bear fruit, while the "Living Divine Drunkenness" made by a new Dan recipe found by Nu Tian took him thirty years, and the "Longhua Dan" mentioned by Zhang Fu took a long time to barely mature, which made Nu Tian speechless.
The gourds grow at different times, and the colors are also very different, which can't help but make Nu Tian suspect that there may be another mystery hidden in the inside of the three gourds. So I deliberately spent a little effort to study it carefully, and finally found that although the green gourd containing the "Hundred Treasures Jade Liquid" is larger, the inner space is about hundreds of meters square, and the aura contained in it is also the weakest of the three gourds; The purple gourd is the smallest in shape, but the aura concentration it contains is a hundred times that of the golden gourd, but what is unexpected is that the space inside is the smallest of the three gourds (about the size of a house on the right and left). What's even more shocking is that there is only one "Longhua Dan" in the purple gourd, and this strong contrast almost makes Nu Tian vomit blood. However, the most terrible thing is that the medicinal effect of this Longhua Pill is too strong, and it is not at all something that the current Nutian can take - at least it must have the strength to return to the Void Realm to withstand this powerful medicinal power. In desperation, I had no choice but to give it to the teacher Zhang Fu as a courtesy, which can be regarded as a filial piety!
In fact, these are not important, the most important thing is that Nu Tian found that the gourd he picked did not grow again. So does this mean that this immortal vine will only bear thirty gourds, which means that he only has thirty opportunities for alchemy. After realizing this, Nu Tian no longer dared to use the immortal vine to refine the pill easily, because the remaining twenty-six opportunities were really very, very rare! And the only thing that comforted him was that the "Living God Drunk" and "Hundred Treasures Jade Liquid" in the gourd could be regenerated, and as long as a large amount of spiritual wine or elixir was invested, the gourd could refine it into the original elixir.
A few days later, on the "sacrificial peak" on Tianbu Mountain, the lonely figure of Nutian was ushered in. He walked to Cui Ting's tomb and stood quietly for a while before taking out a turquoise gourd and using the elixir inside to drench the smooth tombstone transparently.
"I promised you to give you a gourd, and I'll let you drink it today!" Nu Tian himself took a big sip and continued: "You have taken advantage of all the advantages in your life, and I will not leave this gourd to you—it is a supplement that you owe me." If you really want it, take it yourself, so as not to cheapen that greedy ghost...... I'm gone, take care!"
Cui Qing Peak, in Cuihua Palace.
"Why did you rush out so quickly?" Jin Shenfeng said puzzled as he looked at Zhang Fu in front of him.
"His cultivation is slow, and I'm afraid that the transformation of the gods is far away, so it's good to go out and practice early!" Zhang Fu explained with a smile as he filled the two jade cups in front of him.
"Oh, what kind of wine is this?" A burst of rich fragrance came to his face, and Jin Shenfeng couldn't help but feel refreshed. Picked up the jade cup in front of him and sniffed it gently, and suddenly looked at Zhang Fu with a great change in his face, Xiao is a person like him who is so profound that he was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while.
"I'm all old! Let a mere glass of wine mess up, what are you talking about?" Zhang Fu couldn't help but lecture proudly when he saw his friend's ugliness.
"Just a glass of wine...... I've always known that you are extravagant, but I don't know how extravagant you are to this extent? The 'Living Spirit' in this cup has a smell of 'Longhua Dan', don't tell me that you mix these two things......"
"Hmm...... Good wine!" Zhang Fu ignored his friend's nonsense, raised the jade cup in his hand and slowly drank the elixir inside, and then obsessively closed his eyes and enjoyed the intoxicating aftertaste.
"......" Seeing his friend enjoying it so much, Jin Shenfeng was a little speechless.
But when he took another look at the wine in front of him, he couldn't help but have a hint of frenzy in his eyes. So without saying a word, he picked up the jade cup and drank the wine in the cup! Although he knew that this wine was rare, as soon as the jade liquid entered his stomach, he suddenly felt comfortable and fluttering, and he realized that he had underestimated the effect of this elixir. Therefore, immediately concentrate on guarding the spirit, and slowly absorb the medicinal power of the wine.
"You old ghost!" After refining the medicinal power, Jin Shenfeng opened his eyes and saw Zhang Fuzheng looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but feel a flash of brainfire, and pointed at his friend and scolded: "Okay 'Long Hua Dan', you are really so bad, you are so ignorant!"
"Do you know how rare it is?" Zhang Fu chuckled and threw a small purple gourd to Jin Shenfeng.
"This ...... This ......" Jin Shenfeng took the gourd suspiciously, opened it and took a look, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he looked at Zhang Fu in shock.
"Help me spread the word!" Zhang Fu said calmly.
"Not yours?" Hearing Zhang Fu's words, Jin Shenfeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed the reason why Zhang Fu did this.
"It's mine now!" Zhang Fu smiled and filled the two jade cups in front of him again.
"This 'Longhua Dan' ...... 'Innate Spiritual Root'...... What a big chance!" Jin Shenfeng sighed.
The next day, Mr. Zhang Fu Zhang of the academy obtained the inheritance of "Xuantianzi" and an innate spiritual root, and successfully refined the news of "Longhua Dan" spread all over the world......
