Chapter 195: Shocking News
In the back hall of Zaide Hall, Dan Qiusheng and the scholar sat opposite each other, tasting the fine spiritual tea. There were only two Nascent Soul Ancestors in the hall, and even Leng Ningyu was not qualified to be present.
After a long time, the scholar put down the tea cup in his hand.
"Huh..., this is the best Snow Mist Tea! I think back to the time when your ghost master left the orphan on his deathbed. I once asked him if he still had this Snow Mist Tea, but he insisted that he didn't have it anymore. I can't believe it. He was about to die, and his words were good, so he must have really died, but unexpectedly, he was deceived again! "
The scholar was indignant, but Dan Qiusheng only smiled but did not defend himself.
"When my master passed away, he had already distributed all the sundries on his body to us. Naturally, there was no Xue Wu Ling Tea. However, I still have some stocks here, and I will give them to my seniors later!"
"Yeah! Danqiu, you are still honest!"
Hearing that Dan Qiusheng was going to give him Xuewu Lingcha, even the scholar who had never paid much attention to foreign objects couldn't help but be very excited. On the one hand, this was because the Xuewu Lingcha itself was a top-grade seventh-grade Lingcha. The tea produced The snow mist is somewhat beneficial to the cultivation of Yuanying monks, and it can be called one of the top spiritual teas in the cultivation world; more importantly, the scholar has nothing else to seek in his life, but only one good thing, which is this cup. Fragrant tea.
"You just wanted to take that boy into your sect, but do you have any plans to let him take over as the next headmaster?" After talking about the trivial matters, the scholar looked at Dan Qiusheng rather strangely and asked, "If I remember correctly, what will you do this year?" He shouldn’t be a hundred years old, right?”
"According to the calculation of the main time and space, Danqiu happens to be the year of sixty years!"
Hearing this, the scholar couldn't help but be stunned.
Not only because of the second half of Dan Qiusheng's sentence, but also because of the first half of Dan Qiusheng's sentence - what is "according to the algorithm of the main time and space"?
"Senior, perhaps you don't know: my Five Elements Sect has a cave-heaven magic weapon!"
"Dongtian magic weapon!? No wonder..." His expression changed, and the scholar raised his eyebrows and asked: "If calculated based on bone age, how long will you live now?"
"..., six hundred!"
"What!?"
Even the ancestors of Yuanying, such as the scholar, changed their expressions when they heard this.
Dan Qiusheng, who was originally only sixty years old, has actually reached six hundred years old. Even if he has become the ancestor of Nascent Soul, he may only have one or two hundred years left to live...
No wonder!
No wonder Dan Qiusheng is anxious to find a successor...
"Senior and my Five Elements Sect have a deep connection. The Five Elements Sect was able to persist until I advanced to Nascent Soul, thanks to senior's overt and covert support, so I won't hide it from senior. Forgive me as a junior for criticizing my master's fault. The root cause of our sect's troubles is that our master was not cautious enough when he first selected his disciples, which caused the Lu family's power to grow and endanger the sect. Later, although our master tried to use Ningyu and me to check the Lu family brothers, in the end. It was a little late, so he passed away as soon as I finished the elixir, and he died in depression. "
"Is that why you want to determine the heir as soon as possible?"
"This is one of them!" Looking at the scholar intently, Dan Qiusheng suddenly asked: "May I ask, senior, how many years have passed since the last 'spiritual war'?"
"Spiritual war? You think... that's right! Five hundred years have passed since the last spiritual war. If you calculate the time, it is indeed almost the age of great conflict!"
"In the age of great strife, only Golden Core cultivators and above are qualified to know the inside story. At that time, Nascent Soul is everywhere, and Golden Core is no better than a dog. If I am the only newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator in our Five Elements Sect, I will be unable to survive alone. If that kid is If he can successfully form the elixir before the great war comes, he has the qualifications to enter that place. With his plan, as long as his strength is not too bad, he can always make it out alive. When the time comes, he will be able to condense the baby! "
"So this is what you were planning? If you can come out of that place alive, you are indeed 80% sure that you can successfully coagulate the baby, but..." As he saw Dan Qiusheng looking at him in confusion, the scholar shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I I’m afraid he won’t agree!”
"Why did senior say this?"
"Danqiu, you have never left Nanyue Prefecture, have you?"
After Dan Qiusheng nodded, the scholar showed a nostalgic look.
"Back then, your master and I both traveled to Zhongzhou. It was there that I was saved by your master. It was there that we discovered how narrow our vision was, how low our strength was, and how small our ambition was. . We are also Jindan monks, no matter in terms of magical weapons, skills, secret techniques, qualifications or even final combat power, we are no match for the Zhongzhou monks of the same level. Only then did we know that there is no one who can control the wind and rain in Nanyue State. He must be a real strong man!”
The scholar's profound words made the high-spirited Dan Qiusheng a little surprised. However, the scholar did not pay attention to Dan Qiusheng's face and was content with himself.
"The sky in Nanyue is still too small after all!"
"Senior, what you mean is: That boy plans to travel to Zhongzhou?"
"Maybe you have this idea! But it's still early. Aren't you going to hold a sword fighting meeting for new monks in a year? If he gets the first place by then, and the younger generation of Nanyue Prefecture is invincible, then let him go. It’s time for Zhongzhou!”
The scholar's words made Dan Qiusheng's expression change.
"The achievement of a monk lies not only in the strong support of the sect, but also in the vision and belief of the monk himself. A frog at the bottom of a well cannot jump out of a three-foot well no matter how hard it jumps; only when it is sent out of the well can it know How high the sky is and how thick the earth is!”
"..., this junior has learned a lesson!"
After that, the two stopped talking about Xiao Mian and focused on exchanging new experiences between Yuanying cultivators. After all, Dan Qiusheng had just advanced and was not proficient in the various uses of Yuanying. During this period, the scholar told him everything he knew, which was considered to be the duty of a senior.
As for Xiao Mian, after returning to his own courtyard, Xiao Mian was still thinking about what Dan Qiusheng had just said.
"Hmph! Your fox uncle saw your strong potential and planned to take you over so that you can take over his protection of the Five Elements Gate in the future!"
The old man Guitou was very experienced. Although his memory was not complete, he saw through Dan Qiusheng's plan at a glance. Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this. Before he could say anything, Guitou's slightly sarcastic voice sounded again.
"Don't think that being a headmaster is a good job. It wastes time and delays cultivation. Only mediocre people who have no hope of the Great Dao will be keen on fighting for power and profit. A true cultivator will ask his heart and point directly to the Great Dao. Other than that, everything else is external!"
Xiao Mian was shocked when he heard this, and he had made up his mind.
"Thank you, Old Ghost, for your wake-up call. I've learned a lot!"
"Your headmaster is quite extraordinary!" After a long while, Guitou said slowly, "In the past three years, no one in the Five Elements Sect has seen anyone going through the tribulation. I'm afraid this is why the Demon Shadow Sect dared to openly attack the Five Elements Sect. But at the last moment, he suddenly appeared as the Nascent Soul Patriarch, which ruined the Demon Shadow Sect's plan. Aren't you curious about how he went through the tribulation so quietly?"
"Did Old Ghost make any discovery?"
"It's not a discovery, it's just a suspicion! When a cultivator practices, he goes against the will of heaven. Building the foundation is just the first hurdle, and there will be no tribulation. When forming the pill, there will be a tribulation, but it will not be large in scale. Only when the Nascent Soul is formed, there will be a tribulation, but it will not be large in scale. The heavenly tribulation is a great tribulation encountered by cultivators. No cultivator can condense the infant without experiencing the heavenly tribulation! However, if you want to prevent outsiders from noticing the occurrence of the thunder tribulation, there are ways, such as - the cave heaven! "
"Cave heaven?"
"Cave heaven magic weapon, a kind of top-grade magic weapon with its own space attribute. With the heritage of the Five Elements Sect for ten thousand years, it is not uncommon to have one or two cave heaven magic weapons. If Dan Qiusheng passes the tribulation in the cave heaven magic weapon, although it will not reduce the intensity of the heavenly tribulation, it can make it imperceptible to outsiders. Moreover, cave heaven magic weapons generally have their own unique time and space flow rate, which can explain why Dan Qiusheng condensed the infant in just three years. "
Speaking of this, seeing Xiao Mian's expression change slightly, Guitou sneered.
"Now, you know why I said he is an old fox, right?"
Yes!
If Guitou's suspicion is true, then Dan Qiusheng is really an old fox!
If he was going through the tribulation openly, not to mention whether someone would come to disrupt it, if the Demon Shadow Sect knew about it, it would never send only four Jindan cultivators to attack the Five Elements Sect; it was because they did not receive the news that Dan Qiusheng was going through the tribulation that the Demon Shadow Sect sent Wan Tianyun and others.
What was the result?
Wan Tianyun lost one arm, Duan Yuntao lost one arm, Gu Yuanba lost one palm, and Hu Da, who had the highest cultivation, was taken care of by Dan Qiusheng and was severely injured by the Lihe Divine Light.
Before leaving, Wan Tianyun and others had to hand over the flying boat and a large amount of spiritual stones.
From beginning to end, the Five Elements Sect did not suffer any substantial damage. If there was damage, it was only a bit bad in terms of reputation. However, after Dan Qiusheng returned strongly as the Yuanying ancestor and defeated the four Jindan in one battle, it was the Demon Shadow Sect that was embarrassed.
If we really want to talk about losses, I am afraid that the head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Yuantu, died!
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian was suddenly shocked: If Dan Qiusheng had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage without anyone noticing, does that mean he watched Wan Tianyun kill Huangfu Yuantu?
If Dan Qiusheng came out of retreat just after Wan Tianyun killed Huangfu Yuantu, then it was too coincidental. Even if others believed it, Xiao Mian at least didn't believe it. Thinking deeper, Xiao Mian was almost certain that Dan Qiusheng killed Huangfu Yuantu by Wan Tianyun's hand, and then came out to rescue Huangfu Ying and take charge of the overall situation. I'm afraid he would compensate the Huangfu family in private, right?
Huangfu Yuantu was shrewd and difficult to control, so naturally he was not as suitable as the young and energetic Huangfu Ying to be the head of the affiliated family. Dan Qiusheng only appeared a little later, firstly, he killed someone invisibly with a borrowed knife, and secondly, he blackmailed Wan Tianyun. This kind of scheming and scheming made Xiao Mian feel cold sweat and frightened when he thought about it afterwards.
But, poor Senior Sister...
