Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 677 The cost of exceeding predictions

It was not until the eighth year that this isolated place finally saw some changes.

The ancient pagoda of silence showed its luster, and a red light flowed from bottom to top. The door of the ancient pagoda that had been sealed for several years slowly opened at this time.

In the ancient pagoda, a sea of ​​fire spread, and the raging true fire filled every part of the ancient pagoda.

As Chu Mu slowly walked out, the surging true fires were visible to the naked eye and converged towards him. His thin body was like a bottomless pit. As he moved, all the blazing true fires filled in the tower were absorbed into his body.

When Chu Mu stepped out of the ancient pagoda, the last ray of true fire in the pagoda penetrated Chu Mu's body at the right time, and the pagoda door slowly closed.

For him, the eight years of spring and autumn were just a blink of an eye.

In other words, eight years could only allow him to regain some mobility.

He was wearing a thin green shirt, his face was pale, and his hair was full of white, which moved with his steps, making him look even more aged.

A touch of spiritual consciousness flows, and the inside and outside of the body are also included in the perception.

As for him, he cultivates both Dharma and Body. Although his lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary immortal cultivators, the fire attribute is not a way to maintain health, let alone the destructive nature of the Great Sun True Fire. 's existence.

And this time...one hundred and forty years of life, plus hundreds of years on his path to immortality...

And this is only the most superficial damage.

In the past eight years, the injuries limited to the body have naturally healed long ago.

According to his prediction, if he takes a copy of the source of life this time, he should lose about a hundred years of life. This error should not exceed ten years.

When the rippling formation light dispersed, the outside world and the sky were finally revealed above the Zhenzhuan Palace.

If you want to make up for this shortcoming, you must either spend a long time sorting it out and filling it, or it depends on his An Gong Creation Pill and the final nirvana and rebirth.

More than half of his life span has passed!

As for the damage to the true fire source, if he hadn't made all the preparations in advance and used the resources of the Changsheng Sect to refine several types of elixir medicines with grades up to the third-level high-grade to protect his own cultivation, he would have just entered the late stage of the Golden elixir. The cultivation level will probably fall directly back to the middle stage of Jindan.

What this means is naturally self-evident.

One hundred and forty years of life, even for the powerful Nascent Soul, is obviously not a time that can be ignored.

And this time, the price he paid seemed to far exceed his prediction.

But the fact is that this time, his life span will be reduced by a full two decades and there will be another twenty years.

He has also been cultivating the sword's will, keeping his sharpness as sharp as a day for hundreds of years, tempering his energy and spirit, and possessing a strong killing nature. The combination of these factors cannot be said to shorten his life, but it is obviously impossible for him to do anything to him. Life expectancy has increased.

Chu Mu raised his head and looked up at the sky. With a roll of his sleeves, the large chain formation that had isolated the True Palace from the world for many years slowly dissipated like ice and snow.

According to his expectation, the majestic cultivation of Jin Dan in the later stage is like a tall building. If he cuts a piece of the true fire source, he should cut a piece on the top of the tall building. It should not be difficult for him to fill in the missing piece later.

The solid foundation he had always pursued was undoubtedly gone after this damage.

"I hope..."

But the fact is that this cut is at the bottom of the high-rise building, in the foundation!

In the depth of winter, the cold wind is like a knife, rolling up the snow all over the sky. Every time the snowflakes fall, they still cannot break through the rich fire in this fiery red world. The collision of snow and fire creates large swaths of mist in the blink of an eye. Diffused, covering the sky.

Rather, it lies in the origin of his own life and the foundation of immortality cultivation related to the Great Sun True Fire!

But for him, the real injury was obviously not an injury limited to his body and soul.

Chu Mu stared blankly for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. He took a step forward, and an indescribable feeling of weakness stemming from the lack of origin surged into his heart.

When he paused for a moment, Chu Mu seemed to notice something. He turned his eyes and saw a wisp of red clouds flying across the sky outside Zhenzhuan Palace. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of him.

When the red clouds dissipated, a graceful figure also came into Chu Mu's field of vision.

"Brother Chu...are you injured?"

The girl's smile disappeared and she asked eagerly.

"A few minor injuries, nothing bad."

Chu Mu waved his hand and immediately changed the subject: "The girl in red...how are you doing recently?"

"After receiving the message from you, Brother Chu, Hong'er arranged for the transfer of Zhenjie Pavilion to Dachu. Now most of the properties of Zhenjie Pavilion have been moved to Dachu..."

"Brother Xu Yuan and his family also followed to Beidou City. Earlier, Brother Xu Yuan also came with Hong'er to meet Brother Chu, but Brother Chu had not come out of seclusion, so Brother Xu went back to Tianshu City to make arrangements... "

"Hong'er has been quite free in the past few months, and she happened to take this opportunity to visit the sect. Hong'er has never been to the main peak of the Immortal Immortal Mountain..."

Chu Mu was surprised: "Are you still a disciple of the Changsheng Sect?"

"It's long gone."

Chang Hongyi shook his head: "There was civil strife in the Changsheng Sect before, and a major restructuring was carried out, which eliminated a large number of non-core disciples. Hong'er took the opportunity to leave the Changsheng Sect..." As she said that, Chang Hongyi looked around at the surrounding mountains. There was also obvious emotion: "If it weren't for you, Brother Chu, Hong'er would never be able to enter the Immortal Mountain Gate again in this life..."

Chu Mu smiled and said, "If you want to join the Changsheng Sect again, Miss Hong'er, Chu will not be able to make arrangements."

"Brother Chu, as long as you think about it, even if you are the first maid of the True Legend Palace, Hong'er can't do it..."

Chang Hongyi blinked her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and looked at Chu Mu with a pair of watery eyes, which seemed to mean something else.

Chu Mu was silent for a while, then changed the subject: "Have you encountered any trouble in the past few years?"

Seeing this, Chang Hongyi curled her lips, and while swinging her sleeves, she said carelessly: "With the reputation of Big Brother Chu, and now he is regarded as the True Successor of Immortality, everyone in the Immortality Sect greets him respectfully, so why not?" Will anyone dare to cause trouble for Zhenjie Pavilion..."

Chu Mu asked: "In the Righteous Alliance, there is no change in the Chen family...?"

"They are probably also powerless."

"Over the years, the Chen family has almost been in decline. It is barely supported by the Jiaolong clan. The temptation of the Blood Spirit Fruit is really too great... and the Northeast Righteous Alliance, there was a big fuss because of you, Brother Chu. After the turmoil, it slowly calmed down again, and now it’s the same as before, both sides are exhausted and don’t know when it will end..."

As she spoke, Chang Hongyi handed a storage talisman to Chu Mu: "The situation of Zhenjie Pavilion over the years, as well as some spiritual materials collected, are all in here. Brother Chu, please take inventory."

"Also, a few years ago, a female foundation-building cultivator named Zhao Shuang came to Zhenjie Pavilion and said that she was acquainted with you, Brother Chu. She wanted to see you if she had something important to do..."

"But at that time, Brother Chu, you had already returned to the Changsheng Sect and it was difficult to contact you..."

Chu Mu frowned slightly, raised his hand, and the sound transmission token floated in the palm of his hand. Although the sound transmission brand belonging to Zhao Shuang on the token had several sound transmission lines left, this sound transmission brand was completely dim.

In this case, either it is beyond the range of sound transmission contact, or it is...death?

Chu Mu asked: "Is this woman dying soon?"

"can not tell."

Chang Hongyi shook his head: "This woman is extremely vigilant and takes good precautions. Hong'er did not forcefully spy on her."

"Later, Hong'er inquired about it and found out that this woman had been wanted by the Vast Sea Alliance many years ago. Several foundation-building elders from the Righteous Path Alliance also died in the hands of this woman..."

Hearing this, Chu Mu was thoughtful, a touch of spiritual consciousness circulated, and several transmissions were included in his perception. They were all just transmissions asking for an audience. The specific reasons why he seemed to be worried about something were not stated in the transmissions.

"If this girl comes to Zhenjie Pavilion again, Miss Hong'er, please keep her..."

"This woman is very involved and has a lot of uses."

Chu Mu spoke slowly.

"Hong'er understands."

Chu Mu pondered for a moment and then said: "In addition, there is one more thing that Hong'er needs you to arrange."

"Here, there is a level 3 fire attribute spiritual vein, but its formation is deficient and the spiritual energy is leaking out. Miss Hong'er, take this formation plate and repair the gap in it to ensure that this spiritual vein will not be used by others. aware……"

Chang Hongyi was surprised: "Third level fire attribute spiritual vein?"

Chu Mu nodded: "It should be close to the fourth level!"

Chang Hongyi lowered her voice subconsciously: "With such a high-level spiritual vein, the Changsheng Sect... didn't they notice?"

"This spiritual vein is hidden in the sea of ​​​​fire in the earth. It is far away from the ground and is blocked by the ancient formation. It is only slightly damaged. I also repaired it back then..."

Chu Mu spoke slowly, but in his mind he also subconsciously recalled the scene he encountered at the altar. His peek at the spiritual roots still started with the Fire Spirit Root Replenishing Pill.

To this day, that Fire Spirit Root Replenishing Pill has always been one of his biggest regrets.

After all, the effect of the Fire Spirit Root Replenishing Pill is to strengthen the original spiritual root grade to the limit of the current grade.

These magical effects are undoubtedly a perfect fit with his Nirvana and rebirth plan.

However, even if it is his biggest regret, even if he only has an uncertain guess about the elixir recipe, his plan for nirvana and rebirth now also draws heavily on the original Fire Spirit Root Replenishing elixir.

According to his expectation, the key to the plan of nirvana and rebirth is to seize the good fortune of man and the good fortune of heaven and earth.

The creation of spiritual veins is also a part of the creation of heaven and earth. The third-level fire attribute spiritual vein is naturally also a key part of the plan.

Just like the Fire Spirit Root Replenishing Pill that has been cultivated for countless years, what is plundered is the creation of the spiritual veins.

Chang Hongyi said with some worry: "This spiritual vein is located in the territory of Dachu. Brother Chu, you are hiding it privately now. If the Changsheng Sect discovers it, will they treat you, Brother Chu..."

"It doesn't matter."

Chu Mu waved his hand, and he raised his head to look at the main peak of the Immortal Mountain. His eyes moved slightly, obviously thoughtful.

Seeing this, Chang Hongyi hesitated to speak, but in the end, she didn't say much. She put away the array plate handed over by Chu Mu. After a few words of conversation, it turned into a wisp of red clouds and flew away again...
