At this moment, Duanmu Sheng walked in.
When he saw the others kneeling, he sighed.
"Third Senior Brother, do you have any ideas?" Mingshi Yin asked.
"Actually, Master is right. The Evil Sky Pavilion has stood for so long. If master had been merciful, this would not have happened. When the ten great sects laid siege on Golden Court Mountain, didn't master single-handedly turn the tide? "Duanmu Sheng said.
Mingshi Yin sighed and nodded. "However, we can't just stand by and watch him die."
Zhao Yue said, "Fourth Senior Brother, think of something."
"There's a way … but it'll be difficult." Mingshi Yin looked to his left and right.
Everyone's eyes were trained on Mingshi Yin's hand.
Mingshi Yin said, "The Empress Dowager gave you a longevity pill. This pill is in master's hand. The only thing that can save Second Senior Brother now is this pill. However …
"However, master is old. He must treasure this pill … If we do this, we'll be forcing master's hand. It's already surprising that master isn't angry at us! Get up and leave … "
The others nodded in agreement when they heard Mingshi Yin's words.
The pavilion master's great limit was near, and he was looking for a way to extend his life. In that case, the longevity pill would not be of much use. This was not a reason for him to give it away.
They walked out of the pavilion.
Mingshi Yin said, "If there's nothing else, you're dismissed. Little Junior Sister, come with me to the Cave of Reflection."
"Oh."
The others cooperated and left as well.
Mingshi Yin and Little Yuan 'er walked along the corridor outside the north pavilion toward the back of the mountain.
They arrived at the Cave of Reflection.
Mingshi Yin bowed and said, "Greetings, Second Senior Brother."
Little Junior Sister said, "Greetings, Second Senior Brother."
This time, Yu Shangrong did not walk out. Instead, he said, "Come in."
His voice was gentle and soft.
As cultivators, how could Mingshi Yin and Little Yuan 'er not hear the weakness in his voice?
The two of them walked into the Cave of Reflection.
When they saw their Second Senior Brother sitting cross-legged, they bowed again.
"Fourth Junior Brother, Little Junior Sister, please have a seat." Yu Shangrong smiled.
Mingshi Yin did not sit down. Instead, he said, "Second Senior Brother, why bother?"
Yu Shangrong looked at Mingshi Yin and said, "We're fellow disciples. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Mingshi Yin took a deep breath. He mustered up his courage and said, "Second Senior Brother, listen to me. Ask master for help. I can tell that Master still cares about the past. Otherwise, how could he let you live so well? "
He looked around the Cave of Reflection.
Cold, simple.
But compared to the previous punishments, this was already a very light punishment.
"What else do you have to say?"
"Master has a longevity pill that can solve your problem. No matter what happened in the past, is it more important than your life? "
Yu Shangrong fell silent.
Mingshi Yin suddenly felt that his Second Senior Brother was not someone who could not listen to anything he said.
Thus, he said earnestly, "Master is very different from before. Not only did he give me the Separation Hook, but he also gave Little Junior Sister the Nirvana Sash. Even Old Eighth has a pair of boxing gloves."
"That's right." Little Yuan 'er produced her Nirvana Sash.
The red Nirvana Sash danced in front of him.
This was a high-grade heaven-grade weapon. Although the compatibility was not perfect, he could sense the uniqueness of this weapon.
Yu Shangrong looked up at the two of them and said,
"If Master wanted to kill you, how would you feel?"
"The problem is, you're alive and well!" Mingshi Yin said.
Yu Shangrong was at a loss for words.
Mingshi Yin said, "Second Senior Brother, forgive me for being disrespectful, but with Master's cultivation base, if he really wanted to kill you, you would be long dead! How could they let you live until now? "
He knew his words might anger Yu Shangrong.
But he had to say it … The more he said it, the clearer it would become.
His words hit the nail on the head.
Yu Shangrong's heart jolted.
He was originally calm and composed, but his brows furrowed immediately.
"You don't believe me, Second Senior Brother?"
"I believe you."
Yu Shangrong did not argue. Instead, he said, "Fourth Junior Brother, Little Junior Sister, please return."
"Alright."
Mingshi Yin no longer tried to dissuade her.
He gave Little Yuan 'er a meaningful look.
The two left the Cave of Reflection.
They arrived outside the southern pavilion.
Little Yuan 'er asked, "Fourth Senior Brother, will Second Senior Brother die?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Second Senior Brother isn't that petty … I've already pointed it out. Now, it all depends on Master, "Mingshi Yin said.
"Mhm."
…
Night fell in just a blink of an eye.
Lu Zhou felt that his cultivation base had reached a bottleneck. This bottleneck did not mean that it was difficult for him to improve his cultivation base, but it was difficult for him to obtain clues.
Whether it was his memories or the secrets of the Nine-leaf stage, he had to rearrange them.
He glanced at his remaining life on the dashboard.
Remaining life: 6,864 days.
Based on what he knew, he was certain that breaking through to the Nine-leaf stage would shorten his life.
In that case, 6,000 days was far from enough.
Merit points: 24250.
Once he cleared the Ten Worlds, he would be able to officially enter the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm and attempt to sprout leaves.
After giving it some thought, Lu Zhou tried ten consecutive lucky draws.
His luck was now at 20 points.
Sometimes, human emotions were strange and peculiar. When he heard 'Thank You', he had a feeling that he would succeed the next time.
"Lucky draw."
"Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Spent 20 luck points. Obtained Reversal Card x10."
'Good stuff.
I'm not an unlucky person! '
Lu Zhou felt that as long as the lucky draw was not a 'Thank You', he could accept anything else.
Moreover, it was a good thing to have more Reversal Cards to prepare for the Nine-leaf stage in the future.
'I should quit while I'm ahead. I won't draw anymore.'
After the lucky draw, Lu Zhou looked at his items column. He now had 31 Reversal Cards.
"Greetings, master."
Yu Shangrong's voice rang from outside.
He seemed to be kneeling on the floor.
Lu Zhou's expression was calm. He did not go out. He sat cross-legged on the floor and stroked his beard. "Have you thought it through?"
"I still want to live," Yu Shangrong replied. His voice seemed to be clearer than before.
"Come in."
Lu Zhou received his master's permission.
Yu Shangrong walked up to the door and pushed it open.
Creak!
Under the light, Lu Zhou appeared stern and dignified.
"Sit." Lu Zhou pointed at the rush cushion across from him.
When he thought about it, he had never spoken to his master like this before.
Perhaps, his Fourth Junior Brother was right.
Yu Shangrong sat down across Lu Zhou. He placed his Longevity Sword beside him.
Lu Zhou's gaze was deep as he looked at Yu Shangrong and asked, "Did I really want to kill you back then?"
This question directly caused the atmosphere in the pavilion to become stagnant and oppressive.
However, Yu Shangrong seemed unaffected. He nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"Why?"
"You wanted to reach the Nine-leaf stage …"
Yu Shangrong felt as though his fingers were cramping. He could not control them as he continued to say, "Eldest Senior Brother and I had no choice but to leave."
Lu Zhou's expression was calm, but he was inwardly puzzled. 'What kind of logic is this?
Clearly, there are many complicated procedures involved in this. '
Yu Shangrong met Lu Zhou's gaze and said honestly, "The people of Nobleman live in the morning and die in the evening.
However, the people of Nobleman Nation have one ability … "He paused for a moment before he continued to say," They can absorb life force to obtain longevity. "
"Perhaps, master, you're trying to obtain the same ability."
Lu Zhou was not surprised to hear this.
He had already guessed it before this. He was merely confirming it now.
If that was the case, what about Yu Zhenghai?
"Is it the same for Yu Zhenghai?"
"All I know is that Eldest Senior Brother can take a beating … I'll have to ask him about the rest."
The master and disciple knew what the other was thinking. After a moment of silence, Yu Shangrong said,
After a moment of silence, Yu Shangrong said, "Seventh Junior Brother said that you've sealed your memories in a crystal … Perhaps, the crystal holds all the answers you're looking for."
The room was quiet.
It was so quiet that there seemed to be ringing in their ears.
So, this was the reason for the loss of their memories.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard instinctively and asked, "Where's the crystal?"
"I don't know." Yu Shangrong replied, "However, before that, you seemed to have been to many places, from Rongbei to Rongxi …"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you after I regain my memories?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Fourth Junior Brother said that with your cultivation base, it'd be a piece of cake for you to kill me and Eldest Senior Brother," Yu Shangrong said, "There are many other things …"
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Speak."
"You like to beat up Eldest Senior Brother, you like to let him steer the helm … You only like to spar with me on the sword path. You often let Seventh Junior Brother massage your feet, and you often …" Before Yu Shangrong could finish, he saw his master raise his arm.
"There's no need to talk about things that have nothing to do with the Nine-leaf stage."
"Understood."
Yu Shangrong said no more.
Judging by his master's attitude, was he done talking about the Nine-leaf stage?
Lu Zhou looked at Yu Shangrong and waited for him to continue.
Yu Shangrong lowered his head and looked at his clothes and hair. He felt uncomfortable.
It made sense … If Yu Shangrong had discovered the secret of the Nine-leaf stage, how could he still be an Eight-leaf cultivator and have white hair?
The room fell silent again.
After what seemed like hours.
Yu Shangrong bowed and broke the silence. He said, "I want to live …"
This was strange.
Lu Zhou was not angry when he saw Yu Shangrong's reaction. Instead, he felt gratified.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death were normal. Everyone would die eventually. However, the only thing that drove one to live was hope.
"It's good that you've thought it through."
Lu Zhou waved his hand. The brocade box on the table flew to Yu Shangrong's side. "I'll give you a longevity pill. I hope that you'll live well."
He emphasized the word 'live'.
Yu Shangrong trembled slightly.
When he heard the words' master 'and the words' live ', something stirred in his heart. He immediately kowtowed again.
There were no flowery words.
There were no exaggerated movements.
There were no unnecessary explanations or expressions. There was only one sentence.
"Greetings, master."
