Boom! The Forty-Nine City shook, and a terrifying aura, like a real dragon entering the sky, stirred up a huge force.

The cultivators from the Zhu, Cheng and Wang families looked on in shock, and saw Chen Sheng carrying a mysterious coffin and heading towards the Xilong River.

"Who is lying in the coffin?"

Many people felt a pang in their hearts when they saw this scene, and they had some guesses. Only the death of that Taoist partner could explain Chen Sheng’s misconduct.

The limit of lifespan is a pain that cultivators cannot endure forever.

"Senior, you must be extremely sad."

In the Red Line Building, Quan Qi saw that Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu were a perfect couple, and he also learned from the family tree that they had a deep relationship.

If one person suddenly leaves, those left behind will be in great pain.

"well……"

Yuncai sighed quietly, then he realized that his neighbor was an immortal who could fly into the sky and escape into the earth. However, even immortals have their own misfortunes.

As he looked at the whole family, young and old, he began to cherish their lives even more. Time is fleeting, and every brief moment should not be wasted.

"open!"

The river is surging, just like the sadness in Chen Sheng's heart, but he has not lost his composure and is determined to fight for a glimmer of hope.

Before Luzhu's life was completely extinguished, he placed her in a phoenix coffin, and with the help of the magical power of this object, he preserved her spirit.

“Clatter…”

The authority of the Xilong River Secret Realm moved upwards, and a silhouette emerged above the river. Chen Sheng, carrying the Phoenix Coffin on his back, gradually disappeared as if he was walking from reality to illusion.

The Xilong River Secret Realm has not changed, it is still the same, extremely quiet, without any trace of any living creature.

The only difference is the rushing of the Youhe River, which never stops. Its end is the depths of the void, spreading to an unknown place.

No one knows where the source of the You River is?

Mysterious! "The place of reincarnation? Or what?"

Chen Sheng stood by the You River, looking at this mysterious river. No one knew where it went. Countless immortals and powerful people had tried to trace its destination, but none of them came back. Only a few words were left in the ancient books of the world.

It’s hard to be sure whether it’s true or not.

But now, he has no choice but to hope that the Phoenix Coffin has the power to reach the sky, and that the Youhe River is the place of reincarnation, and can allow a dead person to come back.

"boom"

after all.

Chen Sheng pushed the Phoenix Coffin into the You River. It was made of stone and was extremely heavy, but it floated above the river.

The black water splashed and wet the black coffin surface. The light golden phoenix really came to life, creating a large splash of water in the Youhe River. It wanted to fly, but was held tightly by the Youhe River.

The constant confrontation between the two caused an accident to occur in the depths of the You River. A whirlpool appeared and sucked the Phoenix Coffin in, leaving no trace.

“No more…”

Chen Sheng stood by the You River for a long time, feeling sad and depressed. He wanted to take out his suona to vent his feelings, but he felt it was not appropriate.

This kind of pressure actually aroused the thoughts in my mind, and pieces of memories burst out like a broken defense.

There were some misunderstandings when I first met Luzhu, but they were later resolved and our relationship became better and better.

I had no intention of becoming a Taoist couple, but after Fu Yunzi pointed it out, I realized it too late and could not escape, so I was immediately caught up in it.

The most unforgettable thing is the companionship of more than 200 years. There have not been too many sensations, but the years have been peaceful and full of tenderness. It is the accumulation of every little bit that is the most indelible.

"If the blood of immortals is an anchor that keeps us in the world of the living, then as long as I am here the anchor will not be lost. Then I will live on, until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble."

His voice was full of determination. The immortals are the most enduring and are not afraid of the erosion of time.

It was already a day later after leaving the secret realm.

"senior……"

The Zhu, Cheng and Wang families, as well as some people familiar to Chen, were standing on the river bank, waiting for him to come out.

They were somewhat at a loss. Such a big incident had definitely had a far-reaching impact on the city.

"Now that this matter is over, I should go back."

Mr. Chen calmed down and became calm, but he had no reason to stay in the city any longer.

The people who came to enjoy the Linglong Niangniang Festival have left, and it is time for him to return to his own immortal world.

The people in Sijiu City did not dare to stop him. As soon as Luzhu left, they didn't know if it was their illusion, but they always felt that his eyes had become colder. He stared at them, as sharp as a sword, revealing the original majesty of an elder of the Immortal Sect.

"What should we do next?"

They inquired about the arrangements after Chen Sheng left. If the other party ignored it, then Sijiu City would return to its old path and continue to be divided. The order built in the past five years would be broken.

"Send 40% of the money and goods earned to Yaolu to seek protection. The remaining 60% will be divided equally between Zhu Chengwang's three families, Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce, and Guan Mingtang, and each will perform their duties."

Mr. Chen was the elder of the medicine house, so it was not difficult for him to handle these matters. He finalized the plan in no time.

“I agree.”

Zhu Rizheng was the first to express his opinion and gave Yaolu 40% of the money and goods. Although it was a lot, he could not give it up for the sake of the Guangxiu Xianzong.

Unless they are willing to go back to the previous situation.

“We have no objection.”

No one refused. They saw the situation and realized that a city of four nines was not worth Yaolu's painstaking planning. If they really didn't accept it, Chen Sheng wouldn't say anything, but they would be the ones who would regret it later.

Without a sense of belonging and everyone acting independently, the camp model will definitely not work.

"Red Line Building is where I stayed twice. Please don't make things difficult for me."

"My neighbor, please don't let anyone disturb him."

Mr. Chen did not ask too much about matters of interest, but he did mention the other two companies. He believed that the people present would not ignore it.

After saying this, he rode the white crane into the void and disappeared.

We come in pairs and leave alone.

In the Qingming sky, Chen Sheng cleared his mind and let the white crane go to the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, not thinking about it regardless of how fast or slow it went.

I don’t know if the thieves remembered the white crane and knew that there was a master sitting on it who should not be provoked, so there were few twists and turns along the way.

Even if he really encountered difficulties, Chen Sheng would just swipe his sword and immediately solve the problem.

It floated for more than half a month. I don't know if the spiritual crane got lost in the middle, but it returned safely to the Guangxiu Immortal Sect.

"Hmm? The atmosphere isn't right."

When Mr. Chen returned, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. There was a gloomy feeling everywhere and people were in a state of anxiety, as if something big had happened.

He went towards the medicine house. The Thirty-Six Palaces were still quiet, with the fragrance of elixir strong and not much changed.

"Elder, you are back."

When Youye saw Chen Sheng, he was delighted, as if he had found a backbone. He looked around and said, "Why can't I see Elder Luzhu?"

The relationship between these two is extremely deep. If they go out together, it would be unreasonable for either of them to come back alone.

"She died of old age."

Mr. Chen was silent.

"Elder...my condolences."

Youye felt that he really deserved to die. He brought up something that was not worth mentioning and directly touched upon Chen Sheng's sore spot. He also felt a little sad that such a good person ended up like this.

"What happened has made people panic."

This is by no means accidental.

"The sect master returned from a serious injury and is now in seclusion. There has been no movement."

Youye explained the reason, their headmaster had suffered a serious blow, and no news had been received so far, and he seemed to be in a state of confusion.

Although the Immortal Sect has a deep foundation and will not collapse directly, it still makes people's hearts uneasy and unable to stabilize.

"He is in the late Jindan stage. Who can seriously injure him?"

Upon learning this suddenly, Chen Sheng's mind almost became unstable, and he hurriedly asked for more details.

Chen Ergou's cultivation is unfathomable. He has cultivated to the late Golden Core Realm in nearly three hundred years. He is stunning and has outstanding combat power. If he wants to injure the opponent and force him to go into seclusion, it would be impossible unless all the Golden Cores of the four great immortal sects are killed.

"It was the work of the four great immortal sects. Four Jindan True Immortals and a puppet of a half-step Yuanying launched a killing move at the same time. They were too cruel."

You Ye gritted his teeth, this battle was too unequal. The people from the four major immortal sects had reached some kind of agreement in secret and were targeting the leader of their Guangxiu Immortal Sect.

Being able to fight his way out of such a situation is already extremely incredible.

“Damn it…”

Mr. Chen knew that Chen Ergou was targeted not because of the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, but because his personal cultivation speed was too fast and it was almost certain that he would break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

They were afraid, so they joined forces and attacked together, trying to kill Chen Ergou.

Later, Mr. Chen learned that Chen Ergou won the battle through great effort. The details were not very clear, but he only knew that the opponent also had a difficult time.

No one could tell what happened unless they knew the person involved. Even within the four great sects, no news leaked out.

Each family seemed to be silent.

…

There is no news coming from Yiyuan Peak, and it is always closed.

Chen Sheng looked around and found that there was no one around him to talk to. The huge Longxing Hall was empty without a single person in sight. He felt a sense of loneliness.

Without Luzhu, I always feel a little uncomfortable, especially in a place like this where we left so many traces of each other. Whenever I see her, I can always recall some memories.

He sighed and walked towards the Discussion Hall, which was the most lively place in Yaolu. There were many young men with wonderful ideas, chatting with each other or fighting when they got angry. It kept people from feeling lonely.

This time, he did not hide his figure, but walked in openly. Fortunately, the boys loved him, so there was no joke of him being a stranger to them.

"You...are strangely familiar..."

A young man looked at the young man next to him and felt that he seemed to have seen him somewhere, but the impression was not deep. He just felt a sense of familiarity. Unfortunately, they had never had any intersection with each other.

"You're talking nonsense."

His companion thought this was nonsense, turned around, glanced at Chen Sheng, looked at him several times, and whispered: "Elder..., you are the elder."

The sound was very small at first, but it grew louder and louder, and by the end, it was so enthusiastic that it felt like the roof was blowing off the floor.

The living ones standing before his eyes, the spiritual beliefs of their medicine house, are now standing beside him. How can he not be excited?

"What? The elder is here."

"It's not a dream, the elder is really here."

"He is the person I respect the most. He developed Yaolu to a scale that rivals the Medicine Refining Hall."

"The upper limit of the medicine house has been raised. Only then will Zhou Yi and Shang Qu have a chance to break through to the second-level alchemist."

The young men in the Discussion Hall rushed up all at once and surrounded Chen Sheng in three layers, their eyes wide open, as if they wanted to imprint the man's facial features and charm in their hearts.

The looks were extremely fiery, and were followed by chattering voices, which came one after another without stopping.

"Don't think highly of me. I am the same as you."

Mr. Chen was calm and not frightened by a group of teenagers. He had a smile on his face and tried his best to give them a sense of peace.

When he came here today, he liked the young men more and treated him as a fellow alchemist. They didn't need to be restrained and could chat with him freely.

"I heard from others that the elder is very kind, and it's true."

There were exclamations of admiration all around, and the young men blinked their eyes, all of them having a very good impression of Mr. Chen.

They had previously admired Mr. Chen very much, but it was a kind of hearsay, with a layer of separation. Now, when comparing what they saw with their own eyes with what they heard, they were exactly the same, or even better.

As a result, their eyes became more and more passionate, and they were very grateful to be able to talk to Mr. Chen face to face.

"We can discuss the Dao of Alchemy and share some interesting pharmacological knowledge."

Mr. Chen had warm eyes and a gentle voice, trying to make everyone forget his identity, but obviously failed.

"The elders are here to instruct us."

Hearing this, the boys understood the words as instructions.

Yes, can a second-level alchemist and a group of alchemy apprentices communicate and share?

All these are just the elder’s humble words.

"Let me do it. I want to be the first one."

There was a sudden mess in the Discussion Hall.

The young men all knew that time was limited. If they were ranked at the back and the elders left, and they lost the chance to have a conversation, it would be too late to cry.

"Get lost."

Finally, a burly young man won people over with his virtue and muscular body and took the first place.

"There is a barrier between them and me. We can never communicate on an equal footing. They put me above them, like a god, a belief, an elder, but definitely not a friend."

Mr. Chen looked at this scene and sighed in his heart. He realized that his idea was wrong from the beginning to the end.

The young men respected him and obeyed him, but the equality he wanted would never appear.

The position of Yaolu Elder is too high! "Elder, I have never been able to get the temperature right when smelting Quhuanghua."

The burly young man got what he wanted. He stood in front of Mr. Chen, feeling a little reserved and excited. He told him all his recent confusions in detail.

The whole process was extremely well-behaved, without any trace of the arrogance that had just been shown to win people over with virtue.

"It is impossible to smelt the Quhuang flower without roasting it over a high fire."

Mr. Chen gave the answer immediately. This was caused by the burly young man's lack of understanding of the habits of spiritual herbs.

"I see."

The burly young man nodded, somewhat happy. After resolving his doubts, he did not leave and continued, "When refining the Baiya Dan related to Quhuanghua, what should I pay attention to?"

This was the topic he had prepared to join the ranks of first-level alchemists. He had no idea what to do. When he met Chen Sheng about this matter, he would not let it go no matter what, as if he had seen the truth.

"Don't use too much heat."

Chen Sheng is very familiar with Baiya Dan. It is relatively easy to refine among the first-level elixirs. It is used to warm and nourish the internal organs. Most of the spiritual herbs used are delicate and will be burned to ashes immediately if the fire is too high.

The burly young man wanted to ask more questions, but was pulled down by the young man behind him.

He aroused some public anger.

It's been delayed for so long, you should be content.

Afterwards, Mr. Chen answered the confusion of the teenagers and gave them some comfort.

"After all, it's still a question of the basics of alchemy. You can't be impatient. You have to calm down and go further. Otherwise, you won't be able to reach the realm of a second-level alchemist."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind a group of young men, but without a single one to go with him, he was all alone.
