"Ah!!!"
Chu Chen screamed and woke up from the endless darkness. Everything he saw in the darkness was too real.
That withered figure sitting in the darkness gave him too much of a shock. That was Hongjun Taoist! According to legend, he was the supreme figure who created the world and transformed into the Heavenly Dao! But he fell on that ancient immortal mountain!
"Brother Chu, you're awake!"
A surprised shout accompanied by the faint fragrance of a young girl rushed into his nose. When he regained his consciousness, he saw a pretty face full of childishness in front of him.
The young girl choked with sobs and said, "I thought … I thought I would never see you again!"
"It's … it's okay. It was just a long dream." Chu Chen patted his head and used his sleeve to wipe the tears on the young girl's face. "Meng 'er, you saved my life again. I don't know how many times you have saved me over the years. Brother is useless …"
The young girl threw herself into Chu Chen's arms and hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that Chu Chen would disappear if she let go.
Chu Chen suddenly felt a lump in his throat. This silly girl had done too much for him. He knew everything that she had done for him.
She was obviously a cultivation genius that only appeared once in a hundred years. In order to avoid being separated from him after entering the inner sect, not only did she hide her cultivation level, but she also deliberately slowed down her cultivation speed.
She thought that he didn't know. In fact, whenever he thought of these things, he felt guilty that he had dragged her down.
When she first entered the inner sect, she was like a little beggar because of her unkempt appearance. When she was sick, no one cared about her. He was the only one who didn't mind that she was dirty and carefully took care of her.
He didn't expect that this simple little girl would decide to follow him for a lifetime. But he was a useless person. What qualifications did he have to make her follow him for a lifetime?
Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel sad.
"I already knew that Brother Chu would turn misfortune into blessing. You have just recovered from a serious illness and your body is still weak. Lie on the bed and don't move."
Chu Chen found that after his junior sister left his arms, she had been blocking in front of him, as if she wanted to hide something from him. She was unwilling to move her body.
"Meng 'er, get out of the way."
Under Chu Chen's repeated requests, the girl reluctantly moved her body away, allowing Chu Chen to see the mess in the room. Clothes and books were strewn all over the floor.
"Where's my hoe?"
"It … it was borrowed by Senior Brother Zhang …" The young girl's face was flushed red. She was clearly panicking.
"The brass box I brought from my hometown?"
"I … I lent it out." The girl's eyes were already filled with tears as she shook her head.
"Then what about my Cyan Destiny Sword? Where is the Natal Sword that the sect gives to every disciple when they enter the sect? " Chu Chen's eyes were filled with grief. He gripped the edge of the bed so tightly that his fingers seemed to sink into it.
The young girl couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears. Her beautiful face was shaking uncontrollably. "Brother Chu, don't worry. We'll find everything."
"Meng Er, tell me the truth. Was it Eldest Senior Brother Yao Jinghai who ordered people to do it?"
Tong Meng hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head.
Chu Chen suddenly felt a lump in his chest. He couldn't even breathe smoothly. He knew that the outer sect eldest senior brother Yao Jinghai had always seen him as a thorn in his side. He had asked to become dao companions with the extremely talented Tong Meng many times, but Tong Meng had rejected him without hesitation.
After asking around and finding out that Tong Meng liked him, Yao Jinghai had been looking for all kinds of opportunities to kick him out of the sect.
"Senior Brother Yao received news that Brother Chu had turned the misfortune into a blessing and your body was no longer in danger. So …" Tong Meng stammered, "So when I wasn't around, he sent people to throw out Brother Chu's things and sword. He said … he said that since Brother Chu couldn't pay the medicine this time, he would definitely leave … he could clear out Brother Chu's courtyard first …"
"Bang!"
Chu Chen forcefully punched the wall. Blood immediately seeped out from the back of his hand. He couldn't feel the pain in his hand at all. He only felt that his chest was so tight that he couldn't breathe.
"Brother Chu, don't worry. I've already asked people to look for the things in the garbage dump behind the mountain. I'll go look for them myself." The young girl wiped her tears. She didn't know how to comfort Chu Chen.
"No need. You've been taking care of me these past few days. You must be tired. Go and have a good rest." Chu Chen let out a long sigh and leaned against the bed.
"I'm not tired." The young girl gently shook her head. Her eyes revealed a trace of stubbornness. Then, she sat beside Chu Chen and took his pulse. After confirming that his body was fine, she slowly stood up.
"Brother Chu has just recovered from a serious illness. Your body is still a bit weak. Don't move around on the bed. Have a good rest. I want to go out for two days and buy some of your favorite game to nourish your body. Be good and wait for me at home. "
After repeatedly checking that Chu Chen was really fine, the young girl's expression relaxed a lot. She stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute."
"Brother Chu, what's wrong?" The young girl turned her head and asked softly.
"Meng 'er … You're not going to hunt some game. You're going to pick herbs for me, right? You haven't collected enough medicine for this month … You don't have to pick herbs for me. I'll find a way myself. "
Chu Chen looked at the young girl's petite figure. His eyes were full of bitterness. He didn't want to be a parasite, nor did he want to be a burden to her.
The young girl was stunned for a moment. A trace of haze flashed across her face, but it quickly disappeared. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Chu. You don't have to care about the medicine. The most important thing right now is to take care of your body. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, the young girl ran out as if she was escaping. It was as if she was afraid of being caught by Chu Chen. Her beautiful figure quickly disappeared from his line of sight.
"Meng 'er, you silly girl …"
Chu Chen sighed and felt extremely depressed. There were only five days left until the deadline to hand in the medicine. Although Little Junior Sister had already given him all the herbs she had collected, he was still short of half a kilogram of the spiritual herbs he needed to hand in.
This month, their luck was exceptionally bad. If nothing unexpected happened, they wouldn't even be able to gather enough for one person.
Last month, receiving Junior Sister's help had already attracted the attention of the outer sect elders. This month, Junior Sister directly refused to hand over her portion of spirit herbs for his sake. He really couldn't implicate her anymore.
After this life and death experience, although Chu Chen was still obsessed with cultivation, he didn't seem to be so obsessed with the matter of staying in the Biquan Xianzong.
But how could he leave? If he was driven out of the sect, the outer sect's Eldest Senior Brother Yao Jinghai, the legendary genius who only took a year to cultivate to the Spirit Water Realm, would definitely make a move against Junior Sister.
No matter what, he couldn't be driven out of the sect. Otherwise, what would Junior Sister do?
Others condensed spirit water in a year, but he was still stuck at the initial second level of the Spirit Water Realm after three years. The difference was like heaven and earth!
However, when he was stained by the black mist, he should've died without a doubt. He even experienced an out-of-body experience, but now, he miraculously survived.
The strange thing was that his body didn't feel any discomfort. Apart from being a little weak.
Chu Chen felt that since he had survived a great disaster, he should grit his teeth and persevere no matter how difficult the situation was.
After lying in bed for a long time, Chu Chen decided to continue doing the first thing he did every day when he woke up, which was to cultivate.
Although cultivation was basically useless to him, and no matter how he cultivated, he would stagnate at the second level of the Spirit Water Realm.
However, Chu Chen was very clear that if he persisted in cultivating, there might be a one in ten thousand chance of advancing. If he gave up on cultivating, then there would be no possibility of advancing forever.
Chu Chen sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes. He began to use the "Spirit Convergence Art" and quickly entered a meditative state.
The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. Something was wrong? It was too wrong. In the past, when he entered a meditative state, countless streams of air would rush over like a tsunami and quickly drown him.
But now, those violent streams of air were all gone. He could sense that in the space around him, there were countless specks of light. They were like spirit qi that filled the sky.
What exactly happened? Did my perception change after I fell?
Chu Chen used the "Spirit Convergence Art" again, and his sea of qi became like a powerful black hole. All the "spirit light" in the sky was sucked into his sea of qi.
Chu Chen felt an indescribable comfort. A portion of the "spirit qi" that was constantly being sucked into his body rapidly cleansed his skin, flesh, blood, and bones. Most of it transformed into the natal true spirit in his sea of qi.
In less than six hours, a dazzling white light of breakthrough rushed out of his body.
Chu Chen almost went crazy. He broke through so easily?
