Chapter 39 Friends, we are friends!
Chu Sheng made the excuse that she seemed to have suddenly lost some of her memory due to some secret method. Ling Fengzhi did not doubt her and explained the current situation to her in detail.
Ling Fengzhi said that this is his fifth year in the supervisory team.
A year ago, Chu Sheng broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm and went to the Sword Palace to retrieve the heavy iron sword and letter he left behind.
Afterwards, she joined the supervisory team without hesitation and chose to stand with Ling Fengzhi.
"I'm sorry for leaving you without saying goodbye. Even now, when I think about it, I feel very embarrassed."
The silent swordsman spoke a little more at this moment.
"The inspection team is hard and dangerous. You could lose your life at any time. There were many times when I felt like I couldn't survive..."
But fortunately, it’s all over, and I see you again.”
He did not look into Chu Sheng's eyes, but lowered his head and stroked the hilt of the Frost Sword, speaking softly.
"Even though it's been a year, days like this still feel like a dream to me... Thank you so much."
Chu Sheng's expression changed from doubting his life to gradually becoming silent.
She suddenly realized something:
Although Ling Fengzhi did not live in the villa in Canglang Mountains for a very long time, if one uses the meticulousness of a cultivator to judge, it is indeed possible to restore it to such a one-to-one restored appearance.
Chu Sheng did not think that this was an illusion directed at her, because the center and master of this illusion were not her, but Ling Fengzhi.
She woke up in Ling Fengzhi's illusion.
Chu Sheng looked at Ling Fengzhi with his eyes lowered, and was silent for a moment.
She couldn't figure out why this happened.
After parting from Liangyi Valley, Chu Sheng naturally thought that Ling Fengzhi would handle matters in the Sword Palace and take over the sect's internal resources and the items left by his master.
This is also the reason why she was not too surprised when she found out that Ling Fengzhi was already in the late Jindan stage.
Yun Mengzi had always been so kind to her that she felt dependent on him. So when faced with the cruel reality of the world of cultivation, Chu Sheng had always been artificially separated by tenderness and care.
Now it seems... in this situation, Ling Fengzhi may have many unspeakable pasts.
Chu Sheng calmed down.
No matter what Ling Fengzhi had experienced, at least this illusion proved that he was still alive.
As long as you are alive, there is a way to solve every problem.
"You said you lost your memory, but do you still remember what you wanted to find?" Ling Fengzhi asked with concern.
Chu Sheng still remembered that her goal was to find the treasure that could save her master, but this was an illusion...
"My master is seriously injured. Only the Golden Lotus of Fortune, ranked among the Heavenly Prodigies, can save him."
Chu Sheng said, "I want to find the Golden Lotus of Creation."
Ling Fengzhi nodded. "Okay, then let's go find the Golden Lotus of Fortune."
"No, only I can go. You can't come with me."
Chu Sheng looked at him with a hint of apology in her eyes.
"Because... at this moment, it seems to me that you are in an illusion, Ling Fengzhi."
"I don't know what kind of situation you're facing right now. I'm sorry, but my master is still waiting for me to return. I want to save him."
Ling Fengzhi looked at Chu Sheng quietly.
In the eyes of others, Chu Sheng's remarks seemed to be a sign of madness, but Ling Fengzhi did not think so.
He just nodded calmly and replied.
"I see.
Although I don't have any information about the Golden Lotus of Fortune, as far as I know, the Tianjiao Ranking can detect what people desire most..."
"Is that so?" Chu Sheng did not doubt the authenticity of the information Ling Fengzhi said at all, but trusted him completely.
"This information is very useful, thank you, Ling Fengzhi!"
Don't thank me.
"Don't always call me fellow Taoist, Ling Fengzhi, you can just call me by my name."
Don't call my name.
"——Because we are friends!"
I……
"sorry!"
Ling Fengzhi's mind went blank.
Chu Sheng reached out and hugged him politely and gently.
"I left you to face so many things alone, and I knew nothing about it. Now I know you're having a hard time, but I can't help you..."
——Don’t apologize.
"Don't apologize."
Ling Fengzhi said this to Chu Sheng in the illusion.
"You've helped me a lot... Chu Sheng, please allow me to help you."
He got the girl's permission and took one of the girl's original pair of hairpins.
"If what you say is true, then your journey will not end here."
Ling Fengzhi explained to Chu Sheng in a low voice.
"I had a unique experience and gained a technique that allows me to attach my spiritual consciousness to other people's magical instruments through some kind of connected objects...
If you are in danger, this trace of my spiritual consciousness can help you."
The cultivation level of the participants on the Tianjiao List cannot exceed the late Jindan stage. As a sword cultivator whose cultivation level is almost capped within the area, Ling Fengzhi's suggestion is very practical.
"I understand, this is the medium?" Chu Sheng understood it quickly and accepted it very well.
She immediately put on another hairpin. Ling Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, and his expression became more relaxed.
"Please take care of yourself." Chu Sheng said seriously.
"I can't say anything big to you right now, but if this thing succeeds, I will definitely look for your whereabouts afterwards!"
"...I wish you success." Ling Fengzhi gave an unfamiliar smile.
He watched Chu Sheng's back disappear like foam before his eyes, and then he groaned, a trickle of blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"The Tianjiao Ranking?" Ling Fengzhi sneered. "So that's what you're planning..."
If Chu Sheng were still here, and saw the expression on the young swordsman's face, he would probably wonder if a new person had been replaced inside this body.
"Please don't misunderstand."
Ling Fengzhi's hand, which had been holding the Frost Sword, now loosened the hilt, and a strange dark green eye lay across the palm of his hand.
The green eyes turned for a moment and a chuckle came out.
"We just want you to see the reality clearly. A rigid tool like the Tianjiao Ranking can't give us what we want..."
"As long as you stand with us, cultivation, magical instruments, resources, a high status, a vast power, and even the people you want... in the end, they will all return to you.
Don’t you like this kind of future?”
Ling Fengzhi lowered his head, and his eyelashes trembled for a moment.
"——My Master, how did he die?"
"I'm not obligated to answer your question, but perhaps someone can."
The green eyes rolled around in the palm of his hand, and finally met Ling Fengzhi's eyes.
"The premise is that if you can survive from here——"
In the silent cave, a team of supervisors were making the final arrangements.
"It's been so long. If there was still something there, it would have turned to ashes after so many battles!"
Some people grumbled, dissatisfied with this seemingly ridiculous arrangement.
"You're the one who talks the most every day... Wait, I think I heard something?"
A cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage suddenly stopped, listened for a moment, and suddenly turned his gaze to the side, to a deep cave that all the monitoring teams tacitly avoided.
"What is that?"
Click, click, click.
"despair."
A hand suddenly stretched out from the bottom and firmly grasped the ground outside the cave, which was covered with sand, dust and gravel.
There was almost no human face visible, and it slowly crawled out under the gaze of the monitoring team members who were watching with bated breath.
"ah……"
He tried to make a sound, but because his throat had been dry for a long time, he could only make broken and unclear sounds.
The Nascent Soul cultivator recognized that this suspected human had the cultivation base of the late Golden Core stage, so he boldly stepped forward and saw the incomplete jade token slowly raised in the other party's hand:
"Jian Gong, Ling Feng...?"
"So it's a human?" The members of the monitoring team on the side breathed a sigh of relief.
After eliminating the risk of the demon reappearing, everyone skillfully began to practice battlefield first aid and post-repair.
In the list of geniuses.
Chu Sheng left Ling Fengzhi's illusion, thinking that he should be able to see the entire picture of the Tianjiao List, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a strange scene.
"...Guixuan, what are you doing?" She pushed open the half-closed coffin lid with an expressionless face and sat up from the cold jade ice coffin.
"I'm researching how to save you if you're about to die." Gui Xuan said casually while busy writing the prescription.
Before he finished speaking, he paused and turned around in surprise.
"Hmm? Wait, Chu Sheng?
Is it the real one? What are you doing here?
"I am who I am. How could I be fake?"
Chu Sheng stood up from the coffin and, unable to bear it any longer, punched the venomous servant who deserved a beating.
"You know this is an illusion, don't you?! You're still squatting here, waiting for treasures to fall from the sky!"
"Hiss!" Gui Xuan cried out in pain after being beaten.
"I shouldn't have made so many body-building medicines for you! If you keep going like this, you, a female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect, will turn into a gorilla!"
"This is not your concern!" Chu Sheng grabbed the coffin lid and began to overturn the table.
"I'm alive and well, what are you doing here?"
"Because of you."
Gui Xuan stayed far away to avoid being hurt by the coffin lid that Chu Sheng was holding.
The Young Master of Liangyi Valley looked at her speechlessly and repeated it.
"Because of you, aren't you ruthless?"
Chu Sheng frowned. "What's this about Guan Wuqing Dao?"
"Those without ruthlessness cannot ascend. Venerable Yunmeng told you that, didn't he?"
Gui Xuan took the opportunity to lower her head and pick up the prescriptions she had collected, and said calmly.
“You’ve already reached the Golden Elixir stage!
If I don't start thinking about it now, do I have to wait until you reach the Nascent Soul stage, the Spiritual Transformation stage, the Mahayana stage, and the Tribulation Transcendence stage, and then watch you get struck to death by a bolt of lightning, or end up like Venerable Yunmeng? "
"I..." Chu Sheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gui Xuan.
"Don't tell me that it's hard to get promoted. I just seem a little sharp-tongued, but I'm not stupid."
After seeing Chu Sheng's expression when he learned the bad news about Yun Mengzi, Gui Xuan suddenly realized something.
The heaven and earth are ruthless. As a Mahayana master, Yun Mengzi is like this when facing the way of heaven, let alone the future Chu Sheng?
The Golden Lotus of Fortune is a natural treasure that has only appeared once in the past. Yun Mengzi may have a chance to wait for his disciple Chu Sheng to fight for him, but what about Chu Sheng's own turn?
By then, where can she find a new Golden Lotus of Creation to extend her life, forge her soul, and protect her?
Guixuan couldn't accept this possibility, perhaps because of this...
Because of this, when Gui Xuan woke up, what he saw in front of him was the coffin of the person whose death he was most afraid of.
