nine coffins

Chapter 71 Peerless Immortal Root

In the small courtyard at the back of Tongtian Peak, sitting alone away from the water.During the day, Amu went to Sunset Peak, and when he came back, he insisted on letting Lishui live in the back mountain courtyard.

The self is in the light, and the enemy is in the dark.During the day, the opponents of the Northern Cold School would never dare to make a move, and the most dangerous thing is at night.If he failed to assassinate Amu, he would attack Li Shui.Because everyone in the Northern Chill Sect knew about the relationship between Amu and Li Shui, many people were moved when Li Shui wished to die on behalf of Amu at the sunset.

This back mountain courtyard is much safer.Li Shui recited another Beihan spell to Amu, and Amu was meditating in the house.In the past few days, Amu felt that he was about to break through the eighth level of elementary cultivation and enter the ninth level at any time.

Li Shui was the only person left in the courtyard. He looked up at the sky, the stars were shining brightly, but Li Shui felt extremely sad in his heart.

"I'm a waste material, I can't do anything!" Li Shui thought in his heart.

When Amu was forced to go to the stage of life and death, the only thing he could do was to kneel down and beg to die for Amu.Now that the suzerain is retreating, Amu is in danger, and he is still unable to help him to assassinate Amu at the middle level of fixed cultivation.Even at this moment, Li Shui felt that he had become Amu's burden!
"Let those who look down on us submit to you and me forever!" Thinking of what Amu said, Li Shui couldn't help but sigh a long time, it seems that only Amu can do it alone.

Li Shui once again felt his uselessness and helplessness.The waste in the fairy gate is even more useless than the mundane waste.

Last time it was Li Ruo, this time it was Amu, this feeling of powerlessness made Li Shui feel more painful, although no one asked Li Shui to do anything, but Li Shui couldn't let go.

In the bottom of his heart, Li Shui and Amu are the same people, always longing to live proudly.Emphasis on love and kindness, when people close to them are in danger, they can fight, fight, and even sacrifice their lives for it without hesitation.

Sitting cross-legged away from the water, I instinctively ran the Root Cultivation Jue, which I have practiced for 13 years away from the water.When it comes to the cultivation of Root Cultivation Jue, no one in the entire Northern Cold Sect can match it.

But at this moment, Li Shui still felt that his alchemy was empty and his aura was thin, as if his alchemy was a funnel that could never retain aura, or it could be said to be a dead sea that would never have life.

In 13, he failed nine times in root cultivation, and Lishui almost didn't have the courage to attack the tenth time.Failure again and again is like cutting the wound again and again, then sprinkle a handful of salt, cut again, and sprinkle salt again!

"Waste! I'm a waste!" Li Shui slammed his fist on the bluestone under the seat, making a dull thumping sound.

"If the sky had eyes, I should cultivate immortality! If the sky had eyes, I should cultivate immortality—"

With tears in the corners of Li Shui's eyes, he bit his lower lip fiercely, soaking in blood.I hate the injustice, and my heart is unwilling!

"Alas—" At this moment, a long sigh came into Li Shui's ears.

"En!" Li Shui listened intently, only then thought he had heard wrong.

"If you are a waste, then there is no one in the entire Northern Cold Sect who is not a waste!" A somewhat hoarse voice came faintly.

"Ah!" Li Shui heard these words clearly, couldn't help being startled, stood up and asked, "Who?"

Could it be that someone assassinated Amu again tonight?

But when he turned his head, Li Shui was even more surprised that a skinny old man in black appeared in the middle of the dark courtyard at some point.

Li Shui was the only person in the small courtyard just now, how could this black-clothed old man appear out of nowhere.

This skinny old man is wearing a black robe, and there is a black gourd hanging from his waist. The most special thing is that this old man is actually floating more than a foot above the ground. Unreal, like a ghost.

"Who are you, human or ghost?" The old man in black didn't look like an assassin, but at this time a ghost-like old man in black appeared silently in the middle of the night, and Li Shui was also frightened.

"Of course I'm human!" Although the voice of the old man in black was harsh, his tone was still kind. He took a gourd from his waist and drank a sip of wine, seeming to see what Li Shui was thinking, "Don't be afraid, I am not killing people, but crossing people!"

"How did you get in?" Li Shui asked because he felt that this old man was by no means an ordinary person, and definitely not a cultivator.But isn't it said that monks above the spiritual realm cannot enter this small courtyard?And levitating more than a foot above the ground, it will definitely not be a mortal.

"Oh, hehe!" The old man in black smiled, "If I can't enter this small courtyard, no one in the world will be able to enter this small courtyard?"

"Huh?" Li Shui was rather puzzled, the old man said in a loud tone.

The old man in black looked at the small courtyard and its surroundings with great interest, then nodded slightly and said: "My place, why don't you let me come back and take a look? Not bad! It's rare to keep it like this!"

"What? My place, why don't you let me come back and have a look?"

Li Shui is not a piece of wood, upon hearing this, he said in shock, "Are you the senior Beihan who used to live here?"

"Hey!" The old man in black was noncommittal, then turned to Amu and said, "Did you clean this place all these years?"

Although the old man in black didn't admit it directly, but with Li Shui's wisdom, he naturally knew it well, and couldn't help but jump wildly in his heart.

It is said that this small courtyard has existed for thousands of years, so we can know who the old man in black is.Leaving the water, I felt my head was dizzy and my tongue was dry.This old man in black is probably an old fairy!Have you met a fairy?Leaving the water feels like a dream.

"Greetings, senior!" Li Shui collected himself, first gave a deep salute, and then said, "This junior has been cleaning this place for almost ten years!"

At the same time, Li Shui took a sneak peek inside the room, and said to himself, "Amu, why didn't you hear me? Don't come out to take a look!"

"Don't worry about that little guy in the house who can't see through, I put him to sleep! Help him by the way!" The old man in black smiled and said.

"Huh?" Li Shui was stunned for a moment, his expression a little embarrassed, what is a guy who can't see through, please help him by the way.

"Senior, what advice do you have for coming here?" At this moment, Li Shui was completely calm.

The old man in black looked at Li Shui carefully, and said, "Your name is Li Shui, right? Do you consider yourself a waste?"

"Yeah!" Li Shui nodded helplessly, "In 13 years, he failed to grow roots nine times, what is it if it's not waste material?"

"Haha!" The old man in black suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, but the laughter seemed to only echo in this small courtyard, and did not disperse at all.

Li Shui felt his eardrums swell, but the birds on the ancient trees outside the courtyard did not startle.

Li Shui knew that he might have met an unworldly expert, so he couldn't help but blushed, and said, "Senior, don't make fun of this junior!"

"Joke? Hehe! Did you and that kid in the room go to an unnamed mountain in the north of Beihan together?" The old man in black ignored Li Shui's words, but suddenly asked this question.

"An unnamed mountain in the north?" Li Shui was a little puzzled, not knowing why the old man in black asked this, "The junior did go to pick wood with Amu once! How did the senior know?"

"Hey! The old man saw that you were extraordinary that day, but he just didn't care about you." The old man in black took another sip of wine, looking like he was playing in the world.
