Immortal in my old age, I will live forever

Chapter 50 051: The Luo Family Retreats
Bai Yunshu on the ridge rewinds, and the bright moon in the sky returns.

In a blink of an eye, another month passed.

A lot has happened this month.

First of all, after many battles among the original dozens of forces in the gathering place, there are only three remaining forces that are close to the Zhu family, namely Tielintang, Huayumen, and Jinzifang, which followed Xu Ning's rebellion.

Even the two larger forces, the Shangmeng and Habayashitang, which maintained neutrality, were expelled, and the gathering place, including many surrounding resource points, was completely reduced to the territory of the Zhu family.

The fall of the gathering place also seemed to symbolize the first stage of the war between Zhu and Luo's two great cultivating families, which ended with the failure of the Luo family.

Many casual cultivators who were close to the Luo family were hunted down and liquidated. Only by switching to the Zhu family can they have a way out.

And just when the Zhu family wanted to go further and force the Luo family to hand over the secret copper mining area, a piece of news came that temporarily halted the regional monk battle.

The news came from the Miaoyin Sect, which mentioned that Luo Bing had successfully broken through the tenth level of Qi training, and had officially started to participate in the Zongmen Trial and compete for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This news undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Luo family, and made the Zhu family dare not act rashly for the time being.

The main reason why the Luo family retreated uncharacteristically these days was because they did not want to lose the power of the family due to temporary disputes. The sacrifices were basically casual cultivators outside the family, and none of their own cultivators died.

But now the seemingly arrogant Zhu family and the Luo family who are pressing every step of the way, the Luo family only needs to ignore it and wait for Luo Bing to break through the foundation-building period, and all troubles and conflicts will be easily resolved.

On the contrary, at this time, the Ling family is involved in the battle with the Zhu family. Not to mention the loss of family power, the Luo family may also get involved and beat the dog in the water, which is unwise.

The Zhu family naturally expected the Luo family's calculations, so they pressed on step by step and quickly regained many resource points lost in the past, and even more.

At present, the three cultivating families are all waiting for a result—whether Luo Bing can successfully obtain the result of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Even with this result, the Luo family has already begun to interfere.

The only cruel thing is that none of the monks in the Sanfang Cultivation Clan has shed blood yet, and a large number of mortals and casual cultivators have been reduced to dry bones and rations for winter monsters.

at this time.

among the houses in the valley
"Ling'er, quickly help me practice!"

"I, I will come here three or three more times at most, and I will be resting."

"You've learned badly now, you've gotten close to me, and you've started haggling?"

Chen Dengming put on an exaggerated posture of a cross-legged horse, and the Dama Golden Sword is practicing at both ends of the two beams and columns in the two rooms.

under the beam.

The aura flashed, and the small aura was like a fairy, bathed in the light and rain, dancing gracefully, dancing hard, and gathered a large amount of white gold aura, rushing towards Chen Dengming, muttering in his mouth.

"Friend Daoist, your cultivation speed is already very fast."

"Not enough, not fast enough"

Chen Dengming's energy was highly concentrated, white smoke was steaming from the top of his head, and sweat like bird's claws flowed from his forehead and face.

After the gold-type aura is completely absorbed.

The dancing posture of the small formation spirit changed, and the wonderful appearances appeared, and the wood spirit energy outside the formation was completely absorbed to help Chen Dengming practice.

The spirit stones inlaid in the six corners were all worn out violently, and suddenly cracked and shattered.

"It's exhausted again. This is the tenth round, right? The 60 yuan low-grade spirit stones are exhausted just like that."

Chen Dengming woke up from his practice, looked down at the shattered spirit stone below, shook his head, turned over and jumped off the beam, the faint and oppressive spirit emanating from his body was much stronger than a month ago.

As early as eleven days ago, he had broken through to the fourth level of Qi training, and finally entered the middle stage of Qi training.

Now it has been consolidated for more than ten days, and the cultivation base has become more and more profound.

With a large number of spirit stones smashed down wildly, coupled with the help of a small formation of spirits, even if he practiced outside the gathering place, his cultivation speed was only [-]% slower than that in Luojia Mountain.

At this moment, he calmed down and took a look at the current state of "Three Elements Gathering Spirit Art".

"Fourth stage Qi training monk [Chen Dengming]

Shou: 163/277
Spirit root: gold, wood (medium grade 50/100)

Martial arts: "Chen's General Compendium of Martial Arts" (Dzogchen)
道法：《炼蛊篇》（大师27/100）、《三元聚灵功》（四层44/400）、《陈氏道法篇》（精通31/100）《损命拔苗术》（一层37/100）、《驭器诀》（大师9/100）”

Since his strength broke through to the fourth level of Qi training, his lifespan limit has also increased by another 15 years.

In addition, the first-level and third-level "Vajra Shield Technique" has also been cultivated to a proficient level during this period of time, and the life limit has continued to increase for five years. His current life limit is as high as 277 years.

If he spends all his lifespan now to practice the "Destroying Life and Pulling Seedlings", his spiritual root aptitude can also be raised to the top level.

"After I learn the first-level and fourth-level alchemy techniques that I got at the Ascension to Immortals Conference, I can continue to practice the life-destroying and pulling out seedlings."

Chen Dengming secretly planned in his heart.

Temporarily finishing his practice of "Three Elements Gathering Spirit Art", he prepared to take a bath in the fragrant soup, and then began to practice alchemy.

At this time, the little array spirit was already tired, and had already shrunk into the array plate, rubbing his little arms and legs in self-pity, moaning and chirping to express his dissatisfaction.

Through these days of getting along, she is no longer so timid.

Knowing that Chen Dengming looks like a big villain who often exploits and oppresses her, his heart is not bad.

Moreover, what touched her the most was that Chen Dengming seemed to be very concerned about her previous life, and often asked about it, mentioning that if it wasn't for the chaotic world and the many monsters, she would have to visit the cave where she was discovered.

In Xiao Zhenling's mind, it was already a rare favor to make this cultivator willing to waste part of his time on her, and she was quite flattered.

"By the way, Ling'er, fellow Daoist Jiang outside hasn't come back yet?"

Chen Dengming asked while putting on the padded jacket Xu Wei sewed, his brows gradually raised.

Jiang Qiang just broke through the third level of Qi training a week ago, and after a few days of consolidation, he left the valley yesterday.

According to what he said, he wanted to go to another residence to fetch some empty array disks, and also inquired about the situation outside.

Chen Dengming considered his strength in the third level of Qi training, plus he was alert and good at escaping, and he often went out to inquire about news before, so he let him go out.

However, one day has passed, and Jiang Qiang has not returned yet.
"Jiang Daoyou has not returned"

The spirits responded.

Chen Dengming frowned and pushed open the door.

The new wind outside rushed towards him like a frozen devil roaring, curling up his two temples of white hair, raising sand, and scraping his face like a knife cut.

"This damn weather, obviously winter is almost over in one month, but it's getting colder and colder."

Chen Dengming cursed in a low voice, feeling the cold wind rushing into his hair and neck, he immediately pulled up his collar.

But there is still a lot of snow in the valley outside.

Chen Dengming looked at Jiang Qiang's house, shook his head, first picked up a shovel and shoveled a large basin of snow, quickly heated it up with fireball skills and firewood, then sat in the iron pot to stew himself, and took a comfortable hot bath .

Then he fed the dried spirit fish meat that was caught from the valley and dried to the two Gus, while he sat by the side and shaved off his beard with the ice spirit knife.

After a lot of busy work, the sky above my head dimmed again, as if it was going to be dark.

Chen Dengming frowned.

"Why hasn't Qiangzi returned? Could something have happened?"

He pondered for a moment, picked up the Ice Spirit Saber, and decided to go out and have a look.

He was expecting Jiang Qiang to come back after inquiring good information, but Jiang Qiang has not returned now, and Chen Dengming is also a little confused.

The resources in his hands are almost exhausted now.

With the strength of the fourth level of qi training, he can already apply to live in the Luo family mountain city and become a guest minister, which is more calm than the situation of hanging out in the gathering place in the past.

However, considering the trouble of the Luo family offending the Luo family, Chen Dengming still kept a respectful distance.

If he has the choice and ability, he would rather go to Jingxiufang, which is a little further away, to find opportunities.

Wear a hat.

Chen Dengming summoned two spirit Gus who disliked the meat of the spirit fish, and quickly flew out of the valley with the light of the sword.

After a cup of tea.

Chen Dengming stayed in the mountain path not far outside the valley with a dignified expression, frowning and looking at the traces of suspected fighting skills on the mountain path and the many holes that pierced the mountain rock, feeling quite suspicious.

"From the traces, it seems that there are traces of monks fighting monsters here, and it seems to be the spider monster. Could it be Qiangzi?"
