Even though these elders were very amiable and easy-going, Xiao Chen didn't dare to neglect them. He had to show his respect to each and every one of them with a smile.
Did that mean that he had to endure and escape?
The doors of many wooden houses in the village were pushed open. As soon as they heard that someone wanted to treat them, many of the elders came uninvited with a smile.
Very few people came to the Pure Land to disturb these elders. Apart from special permission, this place was a true paradise for the Forest Tribe and the Barbarian Tribe.
Xiao Chen hastily expressed his gratitude. He awkwardly lay in the air and attentively listened to the old turtle man's careful guidance. After carefully experiencing it, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. This was a miraculous technique, it was too wonderful for words.
Of course, this was only a part of the secret that everyone knew. It was rumored that there were even more ancient secrets that no one knew about. Even the priests and prophets of the Barbarian Tribe didn't know about it.
However, he knew that he was far from having the strength to kill his way back. After thinking about it calmly, his restless heart gradually calmed down.
"Plop!"
If he could fly, one day would be enough to enter the Middle Earth.
Pure did not mean simple. Qingqing could be said to be incomparably intelligent. She had an exquisite crystal heart. This kind of intelligent girl made all the elders in the village adore and pamper her.
Qingqing was very intelligent. She giggled at Xiao Chen and said, "Uncle, why are you still not buying the wine? Treat everyone to a few cups of immortal brew. When the time comes, they will teach you something that will benefit you for the rest of your life."
In fact, these elders didn't even bother to hide anything. The fixed profound knowledge was already nothing to them. Whenever there were Barbarian Tribe and Forest Tribe youths coming to the village, they would do their best to give them pointers.
Xiao Chen sincerely respected this amiable and happy-go-lucky elder. The elder was very easy-going, but his cultivation could only be described as unfathomable. It was impossible to estimate his depth.
Xiao Chen guessed that the elders in the Pure Land might have had an incomparably glorious past. It was just that their temperament had become indifferent, that's why they collectively lived in seclusion here.
Outside the Pure Land were the numerous Barbarian Tribe and Forest Tribe tribes. It was very difficult to figure out how many ancient tribes there were in the ten thousand miles of territory.
Xiao Chen knew that she was helping him out of goodwill. Of course, he wouldn't be like a blockhead who didn't understand.
Xiao Chen sank into a kind of ethereal state. He could feel the might and terror of the Aquarius Seal. He had a feeling that once he reached the pinnacle, the Aquarius Seal would be able to swallow the sun and moon.
In the following month, Xiao Chen learned a few profound mysteries that were difficult to understand from the elders. Every time he truly comprehended them, he would exclaim in admiration and make a connection. Could these elders be gods? How could he create such a wondrous magic art? It didn't seem to be any weaker than the Ancient Heavenly Stele Technique!
Six hundred thousand gold notes. That was the prize money Keke got for winning the title of Southern Wasteland Beast King. Every time Xiao Chen saw these banknotes, he would think of the little thing and feel a heart-wrenching pain.
Xiao Chen smiled, saying that he had benefited from the lesson.
Qing Qing's grandfather, Old Man Ye, strolled leisurely on the stone arch bridge. The old man was always smiling, looking very kind and benevolent. "Are you thinking about something?"
"I'm just reflecting on myself."
The old man chuckled and said, "Experiencing failure isn't scary. The key is how you view failure. Those with outstanding ability. If you don't experience failure, you might only be outstanding for your entire life. Humans need to continuously temper themselves. Only after going through trials and tribulations would they understand the true meaning. When I was young, I was also frivolous. You have to know that standing alone in the forest will provoke the wind. I have experienced many painful lessons. Having ability is one thing, but the key is how you use your ability. You disdain to sway left and right like a grass on the wall. But you also need to have a brilliant method to deal with the wind and lightning. "
Two hundred years of lost time was equivalent to two lifetimes, but it wasn't engraved into the immortal course of life. It was nothing more than an empty symbol, an incomparably pale number. It only recorded the crushing defeat of that night.
"Hehe … Young uncle, what are you doing?"
Xiao Chen's body moved according to his heart's desire. He listened to Wang Xianpo's voice transmission and began to experience that wondrous state.
Xiao Chen stood quietly on the stone arch bridge as his thoughts wandered.
"Alright. I almost forgot, my family's Qing Qing is a millionaire. She carries several hundred thousand gold notes with her. Even if she goes to buy Wang Xianpo's best quality immortal brew, it would be enough to drink for a few years. "
The Sacred Mountain of the Barbarian Race was the most mysterious place. According to legend, it was a "Cypreus Cauldron" refined by the ancestor god Suirenshi. That place could smelt everything in the world.
"Old man, let me treat you to a drink."
Old man Ye said to Xiao Chen, "Quick, quickly memorize it. This is the most profound of all the seal techniques in the legends, the Seal of Aquarius!"
Young swallows chirping under the eaves, snowy maples on the riverbank, catkins fluttering in the air, the fragrance of flowers and plants drifted along with the wind. The spiritual energy in the small village was dense, but at the same time, it was also filled with the smell of the countryside. Everything was so vivid, it was like that small mountain village at the bank of the Yellow River. Xiao Chen suspected that he was in a dream.
Come to think of it, he was really a rich man. He still hadn't spent the eight hundred thousand gold coins from selling the ancient spear Pasteur. However, it was still in Zhuge fatty's hands.
Time flew by, Xiao Chen had already been in the Pure Land for four months. His body's functions had more or less recovered. He was now in a delicate state of balance. He decided to make his move. He was going to the Sacred Mountain of the barbarians with little fatty Oxman to summon Keke's soul.
The current Wang Xianpo appeared incomparably sacred and dignified. She flew into the sky and made all kinds of complicated and profound movements. Both of her hands were forming seals unceasingly. An aquarius floated above her head out of nowhere. It blossomed with millions upon millions of rays of light, making people unable to look straight at it!
No! There was no need for him to suppress his nature. He was a free and easy person. If he allowed himself to be shackled, it would only strangle his spirituality and life.
Standing on the stone bridge, Xiao Chen was speechless as he looked at his snow-white hair in the water. This time, he was really thoroughly defeated … He had lost too much in the Celestial City. His heart was empty.
After Wang Xianpo saw Xiao Chen memorized the essentials, she gave such an evaluation.
"I really want to go … I want to try and see if I can summon Keke's soul there."
The life in the Pure Land was simple and unadorned. It was very full of life. There was no scheming and no power struggle here. Compared to the Celestial City, this place was really a paradise on earth. It made Xiao Chen feel as if he was in another world.
She smiled brilliantly, "That's right. In the future, Qingqing will look for Grandpa Turtle to learn. "
The old man laughed heartily.
Speaking until here. She turned around to look at Xiao Chen and said, "Uncle. Do you really want to go to the Sacred Mountain with little fatty? That place is very dangerous. You shouldn't take the risk when you are so weak. " Hearing these words, all the elders in the tavern looked at Xiao Chen. Grandpa Ye said, "Those who go there will most likely die. Very few people dare to take the risk. It's too dangerous."
What was lost was their friendship. Friendship was as vast as the sea and the clouds. They would stab each other with indifference. Kinship was like Keke. What was dead was the beast body, but what would wither was the divine heart.
Thinking of his current position, Xiao Chen was so shocked that he fell to the ground.
"Xiao Chen, your body is too weak. Your life essence is pitifully little. Today, I will teach you something. By training your body like this, I can guarantee that your life essence will slowly condense back. "
What was lost was their understanding of human nature. What were fame, profit, power, affection, love, hatred, and enmity?
Wang Xianpo came out from the small wooden house. Although she had a head full of white hair, her complexion was as beautiful as jade. It would be wrong to say that she was old, but it was also inappropriate to say that she was young. She said to Xiao Chen with a smile, "Yesterday, the Nine-leafed Dragon Grass you brought is very effective. It's enough to brew fifty jars of immortal wine."
"Hula!"
Wang Xianpo was a member of the jungle. She was very proficient in the natural seal. She could use her body technique to seize the power of the world. The Precious Vase Seal was the highest seal she created by combining the Buddhist treasure Vase Seal.
In the blink of an eye, two months had already passed. Xiao Chen's body was slowly recovering. Even though his lifespan had been severely depleted, there was still a vigorous life essence hidden within his nine major acupoints. Even though it did not gush out, there would still be traces of life essence flowing out every day. It nourished those already aged organs, allowing Xiao Chen's body to maintain a very delicate balance.
"Haha … … good, it's enough for us to drink."
Xiao Chen didn't hide his origin. These old people all knew why he intruded into the Pure Land.
What he needed to do was to reflect on himself. He needed to become more seasoned, so much so that he could be said to be shrewd and ruthless. He needed to mature the immaturity of the past and smooth the edges of the past.
One must know that Xiao Chen's talent in the path of cultivation was extremely high. However, in the eyes of these old people, he seemed to have barely passed. It was enough to show how powerful and unfathomable they were. These old people all had an unknown "past". It was unknown how many talented practitioners they had seen, and they themselves were definitely the cream of the crop.
It was not a compromise, nor was it discouraged. It was a transformation to make life more exciting.
Grandpa Ye reminded, "Xiao Chen, quickly learn it. This is a mystical technique that seizes the power of the world to preserve one's life. It could be said to be a rare technique for longevity."
However, no one knew what happened later on. The Cypreus Furnace turned into a sacred mountain and became the place where the sacred souls resided. The soul power of many powerful practitioners would return to that place after they died.
What shocked Xiao Chen the most was that there were at least a few dozen old people like this in the entire village.
Grandpa Gui also said, "It's very dangerous. If I wasn't forced into a desperate situation back then, I definitely wouldn't have gone there to try my luck."
Speaking until here, Grandma Wang became incomparably solemn. She recited, "The universe is empty, the heaven and earth are hidden in the heart, the appearance is born from the heart, the seal is formed from the body … …"
Xiao Chen had lost a lot. He felt a heart-wrenching pain. He didn't want to make a childish vow, he didn't want to say heroic words. Only he knew the pain in his heart. He silently reflected, he calmly reflected.
The only thing that changed was the method, the heart would never change!
"It's not that I'm stingy. I really don't want to touch these several hundred thousand gold coins. It would make me feel ashamed. But don't worry, I went to the forest yesterday to pick a Nine-Leafed Dragon Grass. I've already sent it to Grandma Wang. It should be no problem to exchange for a dozen jars of the best quality immortal brew. "
Even though Xiao Chen had mastered the profound Heavenly Monument Ancient Method, when he saw the spells these old people occasionally used, he still felt that they were definitely top-notch profoundness. If he could learn a few of them and compare them with each other, it would be of great benefit to his cultivation.
Grandpa Gui was a barbarian. Because his natal beast soul was a turtle, Xiao Chen usually called him Grandpa Gui like everyone else. However, at their level of cultivation, there was no longer any sign of beastification. They were no different from ordinary humans. * * * Grandpa Gui's posture was rather … … awkward. He was lying in the void like a big turtle, but his mouth kept opening and closing, and wisps of spiritual energy kept flowing into his mouth like water.
"His aptitude is not bad."
On the other side, Qing Qing was also dancing like a butterfly. Her slender jade-like fingers kept forming hand seals. A crystal vase appeared above her head. She looked as pure and holy as a goddess. She said to herself, "Every time I see Grandma Wang forming hand seals, it gives me a different feeling. I wonder when I can also create my own hand seals."
Grandma Wang's tavern was open-air. There were only a few tables and chairs outside the small wooden house. There would be a lot of old people patronizing the tavern every day. Even from far away, one could already smell the intoxicating fragrance of the wine. This was not any ordinary fine wine, Xiao Chen had experienced it himself. It could even be said that every single cup was of immortal quality. It was intoxicating to the bones.
Grandpa Gui stroked his snow-white beard and said with a smile, "Little girl, don't make fun of me. Although the posture isn't that good, it is indeed a life-saving secret art. I wanted to teach you, but you always ran away. "
Celestial City was defeated!
This place was the northwest for the Celestial City, but it was the southwest for the entire immortal's mainland. It was already next to the boundless Middle Earth.
After that, she said with concern, "Since you want to take the risk, no one here will stop you. However, we have to remind you again, that place is really dangerous. I'll teach you some self-defense techniques. "
He needed to gain experience from a crushing defeat. Being seasoned didn't mean that he had lost his drive. He was in the prime of his life, his passion wouldn't be extinguished. With a passionate mood, the confidence to strive forward would be even firmer.
The fire of life was still throbbing, and his combat power was still there. Xiao Chen's heart was filled with a powerful battle intent. He wished he could kill his way back to the Celestial City immediately.
Qing Qing was bright and intelligent, her eyebrows were full of charm. She was like a fairy as she walked over from outside the village with a smile on her face.
He was young and frivolous, his personality was flamboyant. His previous understanding of human nature was too superficial. Fame, profit, power, affection, love, hatred, and enmity … … they interweaved into a huge net. No one could escape from it in this world. He needed to temper himself.
"Hehe, uncle, don't get too excited. Actually, your posture just now was pretty standard, I could never learn it."
