Of course, Lu Chen, who was walking on the bluestone path, didn't know that in that instant, without any warning, without doing anything, he had already been removed from the mind of a certain woman who could "possibly become an immortal in the future" as a possibility of grooming him. But if he knew, he would probably smile wryly.
He walked calmly on the bluestone path. He walked past the large locust tree, glanced at Old Yu, who was fishing, and left the bustling crowd behind him. Then, he walked toward the lonely thatched hut at the foot of the mountain that was gradually deserted.
He opened the door, walked in, and closed it again. The inside and outside of the door seemed to be separated from the outside.
An unremarkable stalk of grass floated down from the sky, slid in front of him, and slowly fell to the ground. Lu Chen looked at the stalk of grass. A trace of fatigue slowly appeared in his eyes. Then, he walked over to the bed and lay down.
He lay there quietly. After a while, he closed his eyes.
His vision darkened, but then light shone again. He seemed to see lofty mountains, thousands of rivers, and a vast expanse in the distance, like an ocean. These illusions were what he saw when he immersed his divine sense into his body. To most mortals, this was a very strange and miraculous ability. Only cultivators who had cultivated the Immortal Dao could possess this ability. With this divine sense that could peer into one's meridians and Qi Sea, one could observe the condition of one's body, including the Five Elements Divine Disk in one's Qi Sea, which most mortals yearned for. In other words, one didn't need magic treasures like the Immortal Mirror to see if one had the aptitude to cultivate.
However, this seemed to be a paradox. This kind of divine sense could only be possessed by cultivators who had cultivated the Immortal Dao, but those who hadn't cultivated before wouldn't have this kind of divine sense and thus wouldn't be able to see one's aptitude. Thus, mortals toiled their entire lives and paid countless spirit stones just for this pitiful opportunity.
It was a pair of eyes in the unseen world. They crossed the mountains and rivers, flying forward and soon arrived at the ocean. On the path of cultivation, this was the manifestation of the Qi Sea, the foundation of cultivation. Every cultivator had a Five Elements Divine Disc in their Qi Sea, and on it were divine pillars that occupied the positions of the five elements. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were all different, but no matter who it was, if they wanted to cultivate, they had to have at least one pillar.
With the Fire Pillar, one could practice the Fire Cultivation Method. With the Water Pillar, one could practice the Water Cultivation Method. With more Five Elements Divine Pillars, the range of Cultivation Method could be expanded accordingly. This was the fundamental principle of the human Cultivation World for thousands of years.
As for the strength of one's innate talent, it depended on the luster of the Five Elements Divine Pillars. They were all different, so he would talk about them in the future.
At this moment, Lu Chen looked out and saw the clouds moving away and the wind blowing. Suddenly, everything was gone, leaving only an object rising up from the depths of the energy sea. It was the Five Elements Godly Disc.
However, it was different from the dazzling Godly Disc of ordinary people. The Godly Disc in his body was charred black, withered and cracked in many places, and there was not a single divine pillar on the Godly Disc. Between those terrifying cracks and cracks, between the collapsed remains of the divine pillars, he could still see clusters and clusters of flames silently burning, burning, and tearing. They were like demons in hell, glaring at him with incomparable fierceness, using the most vicious curse to burn his soul, never to stop!
His eyes were indifferent and expressionless. He just looked at the Godly Disc that was covered with cuts and bruises, and on the Godly Disc that symbolized the foundation of all cultivation, there was a continuous burning flame.
That was a black flame that used his soul as fuel. It looked like it was entangled with him forever, and it would not stop until he died!
…
Day after day passed. The affairs of the world were like the surface of the dragon lake, always calm and unperturbed. Everything went according to plan, and everything seemed to be peaceful.
The only change was the newcomer, Li Ji. He was getting more and more liked by the girls in the village. His paintings were really beautiful, especially the court ladies, they were vivid and lifelike, so much so that people felt that they were even more beautiful than real people.
Moreover, he was really very handsome!
So the girls in the village flocked to him, pestering him all day, begging him to paint for them. Dingdang was no exception. These days, she squeezed until her head was broken, and she was thick-skinned, waking up early and returning late. She was not afraid of other people laughing at her or gossiping, and she actually made Li Ji paint for her twice.
Adding the first time, it was three paintings.
Three paintings, all of them were of her. One painting was "Summer Night Leaning on the Window and Gazing at the Moon", another was "Spring Wind Peach Forest Admiring Flowers", and the last was "Palace Dress Girl Chasing Fireflies". Three paintings, each of them were exquisite, each of them were beauties, as if condensed into the most beautiful moments of a girl's life, each beautiful figure reflected on the paper.
Dingdang loved these paintings, she carefully framed them and hung them in her room, on the same white wall. She would often stare at them in a daze, occasionally blushing, and often smiling.
On this day, she was once again looking at the paintings of beauties on the wall, her eyes were slightly intoxicated. Suddenly she heard someone knocking on the door, causing Ding Dang to wake up. She walked out and shouted "Who is it?" before opening the door.
There was a figure standing outside the door, laughing at her, revealing his white and neat teeth.
Dingdang was startled, and said: "Why is it you?"
Lu Chen smiled as he walked past her, walked into the courtyard, looked around, and then said with a smile: "You speak like you are treating me as an outsider. In the entire Qingshuitang Village, I am probably the one who comes to your house the most. "
Dingdang's face slightly reddened, and she smacked him, then closed the door, walked over, and said: "Glib tongue, why can't you change?"
Lu Chen laughed, stood beside her, and then reached out to her shoulder, pulling Dingdang into his embrace, and said: "Everyone is so familiar with each other, there is no need to put on an act."
Dingdang spat out a sentence, pushed him away, and took two steps to the side, but she did not seem to be angry, only pouting and sighing, and said: "I don't like it anymore."
Lu Chen was startled, and the smile on his face disappeared. He frowned and thought for a moment, and said with some doubt: "Did I say something wrong, or did I offend you?"
Dingdang shook her head.
Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders, since he did not do anything wrong, then there was nothing to worry about. His smile once again returned to his face, and then he walked over and stuffed two things into Dingdang's hands, and said: "Let's go, let's enter the house."
