Immortal, my aptitude is mediocre

Chapter 130 Five years, life extension

Green bricks and green tiles, pavilions, pavilions, and flower pavilions are dotted with lush spiritual grass on the left and right, and there is a bright poetic and picturesque feeling everywhere.

In the courtyard, there was an old figure with no waves in the eyes of the ancient well, a dead silence, without the slightest sign of being affected by the environment.

Zhou Lie knew the teacher's intentions, and wanted to use the sympathy between man and nature to help him get out of his grief, but after learning that Zhou Huang's grudge was over, he didn't think about it any more.

"Empty and empty, living is a moving body."

When Chen Sheng saw this scene, he felt very uncomfortable. Zhou Lie's aging was not only physically, but also mentally, hopeless, gray, and naturally lifeless.

This state, one day in the future, he may also step into it. When everything is gone, longevity will become a disease.

"Teacher, you are tired."

Chen Sheng's arrival added color to Zhou Lie's empty eyes. Looking at this figure, he felt guilty.

In his whole life, he was incapable of writing or martial arts. After having Zhou Huang, he thought he could share the burden for the teacher, but it was broken again.

As a disciple, he really failed.

"I never expect anything from you, and I don't ask you to be amazing in the world. As long as you spend your life safely, you will be satisfied."

Chen Sheng is an immortal, he has already fulfilled his greatest desire, and he takes lightly on many things that ordinary people never forget.

He didn't ask Zhou Lie to be invincible and spread his reputation, nor did he ask Zhou Lie to collect cultivation resources for him and act like a horse.

This apprentice who has been raised since he was a child, he acts like a master and a father, and he hopes that this child will live a healthy life.

Even in the current situation, he still has this thought, as long as Zhou Lie is healthy and happy, it will be fine.

"Disciple, I will work hard."

Zhou Lie nodded, even though he thought this request was very difficult, but since the teacher wanted him to be happy, he had to work hard to be happy.

"I feel bored, so I asked your wife to cook for you. When you were young, didn't you always like the meals she made?"

Chen Sheng knew about Zhou Lie's situation. The family respected him as the ancestor, and there were many descendants who admired him, but none of them had anything to say about their sorrows.

Only Yaolu was left, and he and Luzhu were the only ones Zhou Lie could rely on.

"I remember it when I was a child, and I always remember it."

There was a look of nostalgia in Zhou Lie's eyes, it was really a very happy time, and there was no need to worry about anything.

Now he has a lot of things, the power in the medicine hut is envied by countless people, but he can't be happy no matter what.

"Regain this happiness, don't be pessimistic."

Chen Sheng patted Zhou Lie's shoulder with a little force, as if he wanted to pass on this firmness to this disciple who had a rough life in the latter half of his life.

He can give Zhou Lie authority, cultivation resources, and attack magic tools, but he really has no means to make the other party come out.

After all, this life is your own, and no one else can interfere. Only when you feel comfortable, can you really understand your thoughts.

After coming out of Zhou Lie, Chen Sheng thought about it, walked into the book collection in Yaolu, looked through the alchemy classics, chose a "Little Sacred Grass Pill" recipe, and asked his subordinates to prepare the spirit. Grass.

Afterwards, he entered the secret room, intending to break through the initial stage of foundation establishment.

Over the years, he has devoted all his attention to the way of alchemy. He has a duty, but he also concentrates on studying it, which delays his practice.

Now that the progress on the alchemy path has stagnated, the mana will naturally overflow, and it is time to break through.

"What suits you is the best."

What Chen Sheng has practiced so far is still the Sutra of Nourishment. This method of refining Qi has a very upright foundation. The mana he cultivates is neutral, peaceful, solid and pure, which is very good.

Of course, it is not without shortcomings, but for more than a hundred years, he has been trying with his body, and has made countless revisions to this health-preserving sutra, which has been tampered with beyond recognition.

It cannot be said that the health-preserving scriptures he is currently practicing are the highest exercises, but they are definitely the most suitable and suitable for him.

When he performed it briefly, the exercise route run by the health-preserving scriptures was activated instantly, absorbing a steady stream of spiritual energy from heaven and earth toward the outside world.

"Rumble..."

In the secret room, Chen Sheng's body was shining with brilliance, and the aura gathered around him was scattered like smoke, making him look sacred and majestic.

The surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth penetrated through his mouth, nose and ear holes, walked a circle of exercises, turned into solid mana, and fell into the dantian.

In his dantian, mist was dense, and a small lake was accumulated at the bottom, dripping mana constantly, like raindrops.

As the endless mana was added, the edge of the small lake gradually expanded.

This situation lasted for a day and a half, and finally reached a limit.

The mana in the dantian became active all of a sudden, like an extinct volcano revived, giving birth to changes.

"boom"

Chen Sheng's energy was also rising, and he rushed to a limit, but was stopped.

That is the pass in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

With a peaceful mind, he focused on running the health-preserving scriptures, allowing the accumulated mana to be wasted in the impact of the pass.

I don't know how long it took before there was a roar, but the barrier in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm was broken, and he leaped into a new world with a high spirit.

"Cultivation is difficult, foundation building is difficult, and customs are difficult."

After Chen Sheng broke through to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he felt a little happy in his heart, and then he returned to normal.

He could feel the limitations of aptitude, and it was too difficult for a cultivator without talent to live on this road to longevity.

Fortunately, when he came here, he came here with a rich world and supernatural powers, which prevented him from turning into a pile of white bones when he was in the Qi Refining Realm.

He stood up and walked out of the secret room. Although he restrained his breath, he could still see traces just after breaking through.

"In the middle stage of foundation establishment, it's the same as me."

Lu Zhu was fine, waiting boredly outside the secret room, when she saw Chen Sheng break through the border and leave the customs, her brows and eyes suddenly frowned, she was smiling like a willow in the spring breeze, giving people a kind of softness Harmony.

"Your talent is slightly better than mine, you can spend more time practicing."

A smile appeared on Chen Sheng's face unconsciously, but because of Zhou Lie's incident, the feeling of parting from life and death deepened, and he couldn't help but say something.

"I don't have a firm heart to seek the Tao. My aptitude is only above average. I am very content to be able to build a foundation. It is not good to force too much."

Luzhu has self-knowledge, she is able to cultivate into the Foundation Establishment Stage, she is still a bit lucky and God has mercy, and she doesn't have too much obsession with the way.

In this life, being able to stay by Chen Sheng's side, safe and sound, she felt that it was already very good.

"It's up to you..."

Chen Sheng didn't know whether to be relieved or to smile bitterly. Lu Zhu's attitude was very good, but her obsession with cultivating Taoism and longevity was not strong.

Presumably knowing the matter of longevity is too ethereal, it is better to live in the present, free and easy.

He didn't say much anymore, this kind of life is actually quite good.

……

"Elder, the spiritual herbs you asked to prepare have already been gathered."

Before Chen Sheng retreated, no one dared to slack off what he was told, and he had already found it.

The visitor's attitude was extremely respectful, and he was holding a storage bag in his hand, which was the spirit grass needed for refining the small holy grass pill.

"it is good."

Chen Sheng took the things away and went to the alchemy room, intending to refine a batch of small holy grass pills.

He seldom refines first-level elixir, but this time he prepared it for Zhou Lie, so he couldn't be sloppy, and he was very careful.

This little Holy Grass Pill is a life-extending elixir, a first-grade top-grade elixir. It is cumbersome to refine and uses a lot of ingredients, but it is very effective. It can extend the life of a monk in the Qi Refining Realm by ten years.

"Om..."

In the alchemy room, the fire was blazing, and the lid of the rainbow trout furnace was lit up by the flames, and the mouth of the furnace was bright red, like a world in flames.

Chen Sheng opened the storage bag, and put various types of spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace one after another, and were licked by the flames to burn off the excess impurities.

The world inside the furnace is like a nine-story pagoda, with layers of flames and various kinds of spiritual grass, which have been burned away and turned into a clear appearance.

Roughly counting, there are hundreds of kinds, flowing with radiant brilliance, like amber glass, not stained with dust.

Under the light of the fire, Chen Sheng's cheeks were like scarlet jade, he was as bright as a god, and his every move exuded a charm of calmness and ease.

His eight methods of fire control have already been practiced to an extremely high level, and there is no pressure in refining the second-level elixir, and there is no problem with the first-level small holy grass pill.

Every spiritual herb has been smelted to the most pure state by him, and from the perspective of a second-level alchemist, they are all perfect.

"Okay, we can carry out the fusion of medicine."

Chen Sheng absolutely put his heart into refining this batch of small holy grass pills. He tried to ensure that there was no trace of impurities in the refining of the spirit grass. He made sure again and again before proceeding to the next step.

"Om..."

With a thought in his mind, various kinds of spiritual herbs began to blend together, and strands of mysterious energy emerged, with thousands of possibilities.

What the alchemist has to do is not to let the pharmacology mess around, and move towards the optimal direction.

Time passed by little by little.

In the furnace fire, hundreds of medicinal properties interweave into a rudimentary elixir, which is a bit heavy, like gold and stone utensils, flowing with precious light.

Chen Sheng observed the world in the furnace calmly, and slowly controlled the fire to burn the prototype of the elixir, so that the many mysteries inside were condensed into one.

What can be seen is that the prototype of the elixir is more and more rounded, and the word "perfect" can immediately emerge in the mind at a glance.

At this point, the little holy grass pill has been refined.

"call……"

The rich alchemy rushed up into the sky, and accompanied by the rich vitality, gushed out from the mouth of the furnace. The flame inside had been extinguished, but the wall of the furnace was still burning red, with the brilliance of scarlet gold.

At the bottom, there are nine emerald green elixirs quietly placed. The medicinal properties are restrained and full of vitality. They are the treasures of the first-order elixirs.

Such a life-extending elixir, appearing at the auction, will definitely make the old Qi Refining Realm throw away all his wealth.

……

Five years passed by at once.

This is not a long period of time, but for a person with an old body and a dead soul, it is enough to kill the last bit of effort.

Compared with the luxuriant and withered flowers in the courtyard, Zhou Lie looks like a piece of rotten old wood, the foundation of which has been cut clean by time.

His body was very emaciated, his eyes were empty, and he didn't care about the limit of life and death.

Hey.

Footsteps came.

Zhou Lie looked over and saw that it was the teacher. The other party was exactly the same as in memory, unchanged, still a young man, with a tall and straight body, warm eyes, wearing luxurious robes, like a heavenly being.

He looked at himself again, rotten like dead wood, his face was old, he couldn't help but lower his head, faceless.

Practice resources.

Gongfa secret technique.

Elixir magic weapon.

He doesn't lack all of these, and the conditions are much better than the teacher's conditions when he was a young man, but he ended up in such a situation, it can only be said that he has wasted his life.

"This is the little Holy Grass Pill, which can prolong your life by ten years."

Chen Sheng came in front of Zhou Lie and took out the small holy grass pill. Now that Zhou Lie is in this situation, he must use the pill to continue his life in order to survive.

"Teacher, when did you refine it?"

Zhou Lie is a first-tier top alchemist, and he can see the quality of the little holy grass pill at a glance.

Then, it can only be made by the teacher, a second-level alchemist, who made it specially for him.

"five years ago."

Chen Sheng said calmly.

He thought of today five years ago.

Zhou Lie was very sad. Originally, as an alchemist, he was the best at transferring from his body. It would be very easy to live to 120 years old.

Now at the age of one hundred and five, he is on the verge of death, and can only use pills to prolong his life.

"Disciple, I have always been a worry-free person, and I have always made the teacher worry about it."

Zhou Lie looked at the little holy grass pill and didn't take it, but he was very grateful for Chen Sheng's kindness and thought of a lot.

When he was very young, he became a teacher.

Got... so much care.

At the age of seven, he was fed by the teacher and grew up, and spent a carefree childhood.

When I was a teenager, I was confused. During the Great Competition in the outer sect, I was awakened by the teacher. I put aside my burdens and traveled to the world of cultivating immortals.

When he was young, he married a wife and had children willfully, ignoring the teacher's arrangement, and missed the age of foundation establishment.

When he lost his wife in middle age, he went to the teacher to seek comfort, and when he lost his son in his later years, it was the teacher who led the crowd to destroy the demons of Fushuijiang and avenge their hatred.

Throughout his life, he has been living under the wing of a teacher, but he has not been able to give any feedback. It is really... a failure.

"You are very good. I have not regretted accepting you as a disciple."

Chen Sheng didn't think so, Zhou Lie was a very well-behaved person since he was a child.

He respects his teacher and never does anything that would damage his dignity.

If you don't fight for power and profit, you are afraid that it will be difficult for him to do so.

In the face of Yaolu's fairness and personal rights, Zhou Lie made concessions many times, allowing many people to ascend to high positions.

Therefore, when the rainy night was raging, many people chose to believe and support Zhou Lie, so that he could do his best to do what he wanted.

That is the credit he has accumulated over the years to maintain the rules.

"Great……"

Hearing what Chen Sheng said, Zhou Lie's eyes lit up, and he said in a murmur, "I want to be willful again, so I won't take... the little holy grass pill."

He spoke with great difficulty, not because he was afraid of death, but because he rejected Chen Sheng's wishes.

To him, this is very guilty.

"Decided?"

Chen Sheng said silently.

"Yes……"

Zhou Lie knew that he was headstrong again, and it was extremely excessive and cruel for the teacher to watch him die.

But he... was really tired.

"it is good."

Chen Sheng and Zhou Lie looked at each other, seeing emotions such as shame, relief, pleading, and sadness, his heart softened, he closed his eyes, and nodded.
