Chapter 161: The Love of Master and Apprentice (Text)
Wu Yan also had a short period of contact with Master Jin and the three senior brothers, and he admired the personality of Master Jin and several senior brothers. What particularly touched him was the rare true affection between the five masters and apprentices. Therefore, except for the secret of the small stove, Wu Yan will not hide anything in ordinary times. As he grew older and his knowledge grew, Wu Yan knew that confidential matters like Xiao Luzi were not only related to his own net worth, but if he told his master and a few senior brothers about it, he was afraid that it would implicate the lives of more people.
The world of cultivating immortals is not as good as the ordinary, in the world of cultivating immortals, there are many powerful monks, once he tells the secret of the small furnace to Master Jin and a few senior brothers, in case one day which senior brother is captured, even if the senior brothers are affectionate, they will never reveal the secret, but the enemy can know the secret through the means of searching for souls. At that point, it's not just one person who dies.
It is because Wu Yan has always deliberately concealed this matter, and he has also considered it. However, since he has a small furnace, he can use the supernatural function of the small furnace in the future to cultivate more elixirs and spiritual grasses, and ask Master Jin and Senior Brother to refine more elixirs that can improve the skills of the five masters and apprentices.
As for the other secrets, Wu Yan felt that it was nothing compared to the small stove, so there was nothing to hide. Mo Ao asked, Wu Yan didn't hide it, and told him about the secret book of the Imperial Spirit True Martial Arts.
"I see! Senior brother, I didn't expect you to be so blessed that you could get the mantle of an ancient monk, haha! Okay, great! But, junior brother, is your divine sense really okay? You had better check it carefully, Master often told us that the most dangerous way to cultivate is extremely dangerous, and the slightest mistake will lead to death. With your current cultivation in the foundation building period, it will be very dangerous to forcibly cultivate this kind of god-splitting technique!" Hearing Wu Yan's explanation, Mo Ao first laughed happily, looking very happy, and then seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, and he asked worriedly.
"Senior brother, rest assured, the younger brother has his own sense of proportion. By the way, senior brother, this exercise of the Imperial Spirit Real Man is quite peculiar, I will burn this exercise out when I go back, so that you can also refer to it. Wu Yan said with a smile.
"Hey, you go back to Red Leaf Peak and ask the two of them. Brother, in my life, I have only been obsessed with two things in cultivation, one is the way of the sword, and the other is the formation. These two exercises are miscellaneous, broad and profound, my brother has been taught by Master Jin, and he has been practicing for a hundred years, but he has only only cultivated the surface, where do you still have the heart and energy to learn other things? Mo Ao's face was stunned, but he waved his hand and refused, and between his words, he was quite solemn.
It seems that Mo Ao is indeed not very interested in the exercises of this Imperial Spirit True Man. Wu Yan was also stunned for a moment, but then nodded in agreement, and said, "Senior brother taught us." We are only cultivating in the foundation period now, and our longevity is limited, so if we put too much energy on inconsequential things, delay our cultivation, and end up with a mirror and a moon, it is really not worth it. My little brother has been taught, thank you brother!"
"Well, if only you could understand that. Actually, although you are the latest to get started, it can be seen that Master has the deepest hopes for you. I'm ashamed to say that a few of us old guys have cultivated for more than a hundred years to reach your more than ten years of work. Now, your qualifications are the highest among our senior brothers. Do you know why Master wants to pass on to you all the most essential exercises and miscellaneous studies that this sect has accumulated over thousands of years?" Mo Ao sighed and said in a rather helpless tone.
"Why?" Hearing Mo Ao say this, Wu Yan suddenly had a shocking feeling that something had hit him in his heart, and it was difficult to express it in words. He looked at Mo Ao blankly, and asked as if he were muttering to himself.
"Senior brother, you must not be presumptuous. Do you know what is the reason why Master now only has more than 100 years of life left?" Mo Ao, who has always been arrogant in front of outsiders, can't help but turn red in his eyes when he talks about Jin Renfeng at this moment.
Wu Yan seemed to know, and said in a strange tone: "Could it be because of ...... Is it because of the three senior brothers?"
"Hmm. Mo Ao didn't notice Wu Yan's abnormality, he closed his eyes, sat on the stone bench, supported his hands with his hand, and sighed: "The first line of the Baoxiao Sect, the exercises are special, before the five elements of heaven and earth have not changed, the speed of cultivation can still keep up with the consumption of Shouyuan, and because the power is also very great, it is very popular among the cultivators of the immortal realm." However, after the abnormal changes in the vitality of heaven and earth, the five elements were scattered, and the "Five Elements Sword Codex" of this sect became more and more difficult to practice, causing the inheritance of this sect to plummet, the disciples withered, and even the mountain gate was occupied. Master has had a strong personality since he was a child, and he has always believed that one day he can carry forward the "Five Elements Sword Codex" and revive the prestige of the Baoxiao Sect in the world of cultivating immortals. It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes. Back then, among the disciples of our generation, only Senior Brother, I, as well as your Third Senior Brother and the dead Senior Brother Mo Lin, had achieved a small success in cultivation and reached the realm of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. In order to allow us to build the foundation successfully, the master did not hesitate to sell a lot of things, bought materials to refine the Zhuji Dan of various attributes of the Five Elements, and lost his own longevity, and after we swallowed the Zhuji Dan, he forcibly used his own mana to help us succeed in building the foundation. ”
Wu Yan had heard a little about this matter in the sect before, but he didn't know it very clearly. For a long time, Master Jin would never talk about this matter, and of course the three senior brothers would never talk about these things for no reason, although Wu Yan felt that the master and apprentice of the Baoxiao Sect were like father and son, he did not expect that there would be these twists and turns.
Wu Yan listened attentively, Mo Ao's heart fluctuated when he talked about it, and his voice couldn't help choking: "It's all a few of us who are useless, the success of building the foundation is almost a hundred years, but the cultivation realm has always grown slowly, so Master's hard work has been in vain, alas, ......"
"Senior brother, I ......"
"Senior brother, don't interrupt my brother's words. My brother has been holding back in his heart for decades, and it's uncomfortable. I confide in you today, and I feel relieved. And, do you know, you are now the only sustenance and hope for the four of us. Therefore, when Master passed on all the exercises of the Baoxiao School to you, Senior Brother, Master Jin had actually discussed them with us in advance. The three of us old guys, it's useless to count me, and now we are still trapped in the realm of the early stage of foundation building, the senior brother and the third junior brother, the situation is not much better. The three of us, and the decades of longevity, if we want to succeed in marrying Dan, I'm afraid there is no hope in this life. To put it mildly, Master, his old man, the situation is also very bad. His old man is only in the early stage of marrying Dan, but Shouyuan is only less than a hundred years old, and he is afraid that it is also slim to marry a baby in this life. Fortunately, Senior Brother Mo Lin introduced you to my Dawn Reporting Sect, haha, providence, really providence!" Speaking of which, Mo Ao's excited feelings gradually calmed down, with a look of joy on his face, looking at Wu Yan as if he was looking at his nephew, his eyes were soft and kind.
"Senior brother, I'm ...... I really don't know what to say! In this life, I can enter the disciple of the gold master and get to know the three senior brothers, which is really the greatest luck for the younger brother. Senior brother, don't worry, as long as the junior brother still has a breath, he will never fall into the prestige of my Xiaoxiao faction. I will definitely find a way to solve these problems!" Wu Yan's mood has never been so agitated as it is now, it is said that since he set foot in the immortal cultivation realm, he has encountered a lot of conspiracies and tricks, murder and murder plots, and rarely has any relationship with the monk. It's just that since he came into contact with the four masters and apprentices of the Baoxiao faction, it can be said that the four of them have always tried their best to protect him and help him, and they have never asked him for anything.
That's it, in his heart, Wu Yan is more or less guarded. Thinking about it now, Wu Yan felt that he seemed to be too selfish, and he didn't even want to trust people in his bones. Perhaps this is due to a cautious character. However, today, Mo Ao revealed his heart, and Wu Yan also secretly made a decision in his heart.
He didn't dare to guarantee anything else, at least he used that small furnace to cultivate some thousand-year-old Five Elements Elixir to help Master Jin and the three senior brothers improve their cultivation and solve the crisis that puzzled the four of them, and he was still somewhat sure that he could do it.
"Well, my brother believes in you. Stinky boy, my brother is restless today, I won't tell you, I'll go back and adjust my mentality first. This state is not conducive to going down to explore the secrets. Mo Ao turned his head away and slapped Wu Yan twice on the shoulder, afraid that Wu Yan would see the shiny thing on his face, so he got up and turned his head to leave.
"Oh, brother, it's too hard, isn't it?I'm injured!" Wu Yan deliberately pretended to be injured and lay on the ground to play tricks.
"Stinky boy, no big or small. See you later!" Mo Ao didn't believe him, he didn't look back, shook his head and paused, and left Wu Yan's stone room with a smile.
Looking at the back of Mo Ao's departure, Wu Yan felt that his tall and arrogant figure seemed to be a little rickety, but his steps seemed to be much easier than before. Wu Yan smiled slightly, closed the stone door, and sat cross-legged on the bed in the quiet room, meditating on his thoughts.
Since he had a long talk with Wu Yan that day, Mo Ao has not shown up, and it seems that he is really in retreat to adjust his state.
Wu Yan was busy memorizing the map jade slip that Mo Ao gave him, and he didn't see his senior brother come to look for him, so he went to greet him, and after getting a few words from Mo Ao, he didn't take this matter to heart.
After memorizing the map, Wu Yan destroyed the jade slip, and then spent the whole day in retreat in the quiet room, sometimes meditating and refining qi, sometimes sorting out his own things, and thinking about what exercises to use and what magic weapons to sacrifice if he encountered any danger or sneak attack. A few more days passed unconsciously.
Early in the morning, everyone who was meditating and resting in the ashram suddenly felt a rumbling sound from the depths of the ground below the ashram, and they all looked happy, and said secretly: "Is the door of the underground cave finally about to open?"
