Chapter 297

Watching Dou Tianfeng leave, Shi Xuan thought of his own disciple. Wan'er was basically taught by Lady Yu, and the fact that she could achieve a high-grade Jindan had little to do with him. Liu Xi and Chen Ran, the two disciples, had only been taught by him for seventeen or eighteen years, far from being a good Master.

Returning to the second floor of the Tianya Tower, Liu Xi was waiting for Shi Xuan. He returned to the sect yesterday and did not know that his Master was guarding the Tianya Tower. It was only today when he went to his Master's cave residence to pay his respects as usual that he knew that his Master had returned. Therefore, after attending the ceremony of Dou Tianfeng becoming a Successor Disciple, he hurried to the Tianya Tower to pay his respects. But before he could talk to Shi Xuan, the Head of Spirit Star Sect and Dou Tianfeng came to pay their respects, so he had to wait below.

"You said you are going to exchange for the Nine Revolutions Jade Liquid Divine Pill?" Shi Shuan slowly walked to the side of the cattail hassock and sat down. His tone was neither praising nor condemning, which made Liu Xi secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Liu Xi looked at his Master who was still as young as before, and then thought of his white hair, sighed and said, "Reporting to Master, disciple's lifespan is less than fifty years, and the hope of achieving a high-grade Jindan is slim. If I drag on for another twenty or thirty years, my body and soul will be exhausted, and I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve even a middle-grade Jindan."

After that, he saw that Shi Xuan's face did not change, and continued, "Disciple originally wanted to achieve a high-grade Jindan, but more than forty years ago, Junior Sister Chen Ran fell while searching for the opportunity to achieve a Jindan, which made disciple realize that if I can't achieve a high-grade Jindan within sixty or seventy years, then the following years will be in vain, and there is no need to waste my life."

"Like Martial Uncle Zhou, Martial Uncle Yu, and Martial Uncle Ming, one chose a middle-grade Jindan after searching for more than a hundred years, one persisted for nearly two hundred years, but finally fell on the road to pursue a high-grade Jindan, and one is still continuing, but seems to have no hope, so disciple decided to exchange for the Nine Revolutions Jade Liquid Divine Pill."

Actually, what he didn't say was, "Master, you're so talented that you can achieve Primordial Spirit within three hundred years of cultivation and attain immortality. How can you be a role model for cultivators like us who can only be considered to have better aptitudes?"

Looking at the gray-haired middle-aged cultivator in front of him, Shi Shuan could still vaguely see the stubborn zombie face of the past on his face. Shi Shuan sighed in his heart. He had thought that between the two disciples, Liu Xi, who was competitive and carried a deep hatred on his back, would be more likely to achieve the Upper Grade Gold Core. After all, he had a firm will. As long as he finished his revenge, he would be able to find a new direction and path for his stubbornness and determination.

However, he did not expect that after he had his revenge, he would place most of his thoughts on his family. His firm will to practice Dao techniques was gradually worn down by the enjoyment of life.

On the other hand, Chen Ran, whom Shi Shuan did not think highly of in the beginning, had always been determined to pursue the path of Superior Grade Gold Core. Although he had experienced hardships and dangers, he did not give up. Unfortunately, Heaven was merciless. He was just a little bit away from it and finally died under the core formation of a cave residence, which made Shi Shuan feel sorry for him, just like the death of Yu Ruoshui.

Once the sword was out, there was no turning back, only death. This was the path chosen by Yu Ruoshui, and it was also the path most compatible with the Immortal-Slaying Sword Box.

When she went out for the last time to search for the opportunity of the Upper-Grade Gold Core, she only took her Natal Sword Box with her. The other talismans, secret treasures, and life-saving trump cards were all left in the sect. Alone and with her sword, she went to the Void Universe not far from the Yu Yu Great World, hoping to find an opportunity in the dangerous killing of the Skyscraping Devil.

At that time, Shi Xuan was in the Yuanmang Great World, and after he returned to guard the Ends of the Earth Tower, he saw from afar that Yu Ruoshui's last sword strike was vigorous and dazzling, as if all her life was burned in that sword strike.

If she had not been facing several Skyscraping Demons at the Golden Core stage, she would have taken that step and achieved a high-grade Jindan. Even so, after that sword strike, there was only one seriously injured Skyscraping Demon at the Golden Core stage left in the Void.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs under the Great Way.

"I'll ask you one last time, have you really decided to take the Nine Revolutions Jade Liquid Pill?" Shi Xuan collected his thoughts and asked Liu Xi lightly.

Liu Xi took a deep breath, recalling the glory of rebuilding his family these years, and the joy he felt when his juniors called him ancestor with respect and admiration. Even if his master was a Primordial Spirit Venerable, he could not provide much help to his disciple in attaining the Upper Grade Gold Core. Therefore, he said firmly, "I have made up my mind. I will not live up to your expectations."

Shi Xuan waved his hand and said, "Choose your own path. Go to the Sun Shining Tower and exchange for it." Even if Liu Xi chose to continue to search for a high-grade Jindan, he could only use the Eight Trigrams and the Tai Chi Diagram to infer where the opportunity was, and combine it with his temperament and path to give a hint, but there was no way to directly help him achieve a high-grade Jindan.

Speaking of which, whether it was a Primordial Spirit Perfected Being, a Yang Spirit Perfected Being, or a Heaven Immortal Perfected Being, they could not directly help their disciples break through the Upper Grade Gold Core and the Primordial Spirit. Unlike the Heaven Immortal Perfected Being who could open up a Spirit Space, the Heaven Immortal Perfected Being who could help a Primordial Spirit or a Yang Spirit Perfected Being go through the Heavenly Tribulation.

So once there was a Sky Immortal Venerable who had gone through the second Deva's Blight, the number of Venerable in the sect would increase rapidly, multiplying several times. It was not that the number of people who reached the Primordial Spirit Stage had increased, but that there were more Venerable Beings who survived after reaching the Primordial Spirit Stage. Based on the accumulation of time, the number would naturally increase.

Liu Xi took his leave respectfully. In the past 40 years, he had adjusted his body and mind, and was only waiting for the Divine Pill to be in his hands.

...

Five days later.

Shi Xuan stood in the Earth's Ends Tower with his hands behind his back, looking at the wind and clouds in the sky above Penglai. The center of it was the place of seclusion at the back mountain of the Phecda Peak.

All the disciples of Penglai were talking about it.

"Is this the change in the sky when a Jindan is achieved?" a new disciple asked the senior disciples.

The high-grade Jindan was basically achieved outside, and there were only a few middle-grade Jindan in the past few hundred years, so the so-called senior disciples who were asked were almost speechless. But fortunately, the situation was the same as what was recorded in the Taoist books, so they all said confidently, "Of course it is a Jindan phenomenon, I have seen it more than once..."

Dou Tianfeng was preparing to go into seclusion in the Thunder Mansion World. Seeing this change, he also stopped to watch, feeling a little excited. After all, it meant that there was another Jindan Grandmaster in the sect. But seeing that it was achieved within the sect, it was most likely a middle-grade Jindan. Dou Tianfeng, who was full of ambition, looked down on this fellow disciple.

...

After several days of consolidation, Liu Xi left seclusion and prepared to go to the Ends of the Earth Tower to thank his master and then look at the Taoist techniques.

The Divine Pill could only increase the chances of success by 30%. This made Liu Xi quite proud of himself for smoothly achieving a middle-grade Jindan. Along the way, he did not conceal his Jindan aura at all, causing the disciples, peers, and elders who were still lingering in the Divine Soul Realm to feel envy and admiration. Especially those Divine Soul Elders who were not pursuing a high-grade Jindan, they thought that even if they relied on the Nine Revolutions Nine Return Jade Liquid Divine Pill, it would still be difficult for them to achieve a Jindan.

"Disciple thanks Master for all these years of teaching and cultivation." Liu Xi came to the Ends of the Earth Tower and happily bowed to his master.

Looking at the high-spirited Liu Xi, who even looked a bit younger, Shi Xuan's eyes were half closed. He lightly said, "Get up, it's good that you have this heart. The 25 jade slips on the shelf behind you are the Taoist techniques of the sect. You can look at them yourself. "

Liu Xi knew that his master had always had this attitude, so he didn't think too much about it. He happily went to look at the jade slips. But when he saw his master suddenly open his eyes with a smile on his face, he suddenly asked curiously, "Master, did something good happen?"

Shi Xuan nodded, "Qingyue is back." All these years, Ming Qingyue was still struggling to find a Superior Grade Jindan, even if she could condense a Monster Core and enjoy a lifespan of ten thousand years after a few years of seclusion.

"Hehe, disciple hasn't seen Uncle-Master Ming for a long time, so it's a good time to pay my respects." Because of his relationship with Shi Xuan, Liu Xi was also familiar with Ming Qingyue, so he responded with a smile. After all, he had just achieved Jindan. How could he wear silk clothes at night? He always had the mentality of showing off.

Shi Xuan didn't say anything. He continued to close his eyes, and his expression became indifferent again.

When Liu Xi had memorized all the Taoist techniques that he could practice, Ming Qingyue's figure appeared at the door of the second floor.

He hurriedly went up and saluted, "Greetings to Uncle-Master Ming."

"Hehe, Liu Xi, you have achieved Jindan?" Ming Qingyue, dressed in purple, was still elegant. While replying to Liu Xi, she looked at Shi Xuan with a smile and saluted, "Qingyue greets Immortal Shi."

Liu Xi was about to answer when he heard his master say with a smile, "You and I don't need to be so polite. Hehe, I haven't congratulated you on achieving a Superior Grade Jindan, and your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. "Shi Xuan stood up from the futon and congratulated Ming Qingyue.

Liu Xi was suddenly speechless. He thought that Uncle-Master Ming, who had been wandering in the Divine Soul Perfection for more than two hundred years, had no hope of achieving a Superior Grade Jindan, and would eventually turn to seek the way of a Middle Grade Jindan. Who knew that she could really endure that kind of torture and break through this hurdle! For a moment, he thought of himself and couldn't help but feel lost. Maybe if he had persisted a little longer, he would also have a chance of achieving a Superior Grade Jindan?

...

Southern Barbarian Continent, deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

In the sky above a valley, a dark black centipede about a thousand feet in size was spewing black foul-smelling venom. It had thousands of pairs of giant legs, and its body was covered with a layer of warm light.

After a while, it stopped and let out a buzzing voice, "How dare you preach in the tribe under the watch of the Gu God Sect and absorb the Power of Will. You really don't put me, Bai Wuzi, in your eyes! Fortunately, you ran fast, and I was under the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation. Otherwise, I would have caught you and raised you. How dare a Divine Path cultivator at the level of Yin Spirit be so bold?! "
