According to Xi Fu, after he received the Immortal Ascension Order, he joined the Immortal Sect and learned the knowledge of alchemy, but he also encountered many setbacks. Fortunately, he was diligent and finally gained something.

This time the old man went out, it was as if he had cut off all his past, with no worries in his heart. His face looked very rosy and he was in high spirits, like a teenager. He did not feel tired at all and was in excellent condition.

However, Mr. Chen felt that something was wrong. This change was abnormal.

"No more worries..."

Sure enough, the next day after he came back, Xi Fu leaned on half of the screen, his body seemed to blend into the misty picture behind him, and his aura became scattered and ethereal.

He said something to Mr. Chen as a farewell and left with a smile.

The three old men who helped him learn the art of alchemy are all gone.

Mr. Chen's head buzzed. Although he had a premonition, he was still a little confused when Xi Fu left.

It was as if a period of time had frozen, and the sealed files had ended forever.

The scene changes, and he is seen handling Xifu's funeral arrangements.

The Zhou family still used manpower. Chen Sheng personally carried the coffin and the group arrived at the mountain.

On the left and right are the tombs of Master Fei Dan and Master Ding Dan.

In a way, those who leave first feel more comfortable, while the later they go, the lonelier they feel.

"Teacher, is life so short?"

When Master Fei Dan passed away, Zhou Lie didn't feel deeply. After Master Ding Dan passed away, he felt that something was missing in his heart. When Xi Fu passed away, he truly felt that death was not very far away.

Suddenly, it seemed as if a new group of people had arrived at the pharmacy, and the three familiar old men disappeared in an instant.

“Life is short, so we must cherish it, and we must not go against our own heart, but keep our mind stable.”

Chen Sheng didn't talk to Zhou Lie about immortality. The highest fighting power in the border area is the golden elixir, which has a lifespan of 800 years. The fruit of immortality is too illusory.

It is better to live a carefree life and do something worth remembering in the limited time.

This was his accomplishment to Zhou Lie as a teacher.

"Hmm? I will focus on studying the Dao of Alchemy."

Zhou Lie liked the art of alchemy very much and also wanted to avoid embarrassing his teacher.

As the disciple of Elder Yaolu, if my alchemy skills were mediocre, my teacher would be ridiculed.

This was something he couldn't tolerate.

"Don't slack off in your practice."

Chen Sheng warned.

Then he went about his business.

Xifu's coffin was buried, the grave was erected, and the tombstone fell. A real person became an object of sustenance.

He was silent for a moment, thinking of many things.

The scene of him instructing Zhou Lie just now was almost the same as when Xi Fu instructed him.

The same friendly and relaxed attitude, without imposing personal wishes.

"Light some incense."

Luzhu also came.

She had come into contact with Xi Fu, a very nice old man. She and Chen Sheng were called "Daoist companions", and she felt that he was treated kindly, like a gentle elder.

There are always too many people like this, but we can never see them anymore.

She wanted to light a stick of incense, but Chen Shenglai was the most suitable person to light the first stick.

"Um."

Mr. Chen took the fragrance from Luzhu's hand, bowed to Xi Fu, and inserted it on the grave.

Afterwards, one by one, people came forward to express their feelings.

As the incense smoke drifted, Chen Sheng thought of many things.

When he first came to the medicine house, Xi Fu agreed to his request and taught him the art of alchemy, even the basic method of controlling fire.

Master Ding Dan and Master Fei Dan also gave him a convenient way because of Xi Fu.

This is how the famous Chen Danshi came into being.

Eleven years passed in a flash, and he actually hadn't given Xifu anything in return, except for some companionship and care in daily life.

Alas! I won't see you again.

at last.

A song of mourning to heaven brought this story of alchemy to a close.

…

Time can heal all emotions.

Four months after the death of the three elders of Dandao, Mr. Chen was able to face it calmly.

He remembers this time very clearly.

Because the Chenguang Palace, Changyue Palace and Luxing Palace of the Twelve Palaces of Yaolu had lost their alchemists, people's hearts were in turmoil, but he suppressed them all.

Only after he had sorted out his thoughts did he set about solving this problem.

The old ones left, and new ones wanted to take over.

That's right.

But some people are too impatient.

Just like Lu Ziheng from Ma Ming Hall before, he stretched out his hand as soon as Master Fei Dan left. He was really not a human being.

He dismissed and punished these people.

He severely rectified the atmosphere in the pharmacy and let his subordinates know his management style.

By beating up a group of people, you will naturally win over a group of people as well.

Qi Luo, Cheng Yushu.

These are the best of this generation in the medicine house. After taking a look at them, he found that their personalities are acceptable, so he plans to focus on promoting them.

The vacant position was filled by Zhou Lie and five or six other younger guys.

Some people who wanted to fish in troubled waters, such as Wang Baobao who was recommended by Lu Ziheng before, were actually fakes. With a stroke of his pen, he made it their lifetime wish to enter the medicine house.

Now that the order of the stairs to the medicine house has been arranged, Chen Sheng, the elder of the medicine house, can stand firm.

Thus, twenty-three years passed.

These were extremely peaceful times.

Mr. Chen felt a kind of tranquility from the bottom of his heart. No one died and no bad news was heard.

He and Lu Zhu got along very well and never had any conflicts between them. They could be described as a perfect couple from the outer sect.

Zhou Lie also respected his teacher very much and was determined to achieve something in the way of alchemy so as not to bring disgrace to his master's name.

That is, he has been somewhat negligent in his cultivation, and his level is not outstanding among his peers.

"Among the people of the same generation, except for the four from the inner sect, the rest are either dead or scattered, leaving no trace behind."

Mr. Chen calculated that he was barely 100 years old and had been practicing Taoism in the Immortal Sect for 85 years.

A hundred years, in the human dynasty, is already a great achievement.

Considering the Qi Refining Realm, it is not very short.

After all, one hundred and thirty years is the limit for those in the Qi Refining Realm. This includes early death due to fighting, hidden injuries that kill one's vitality, and the depression caused by the death of relatives and friends. On average, the lifespan is lower than that.

Those who are still alive mostly leave sadly and go to a mortal dynasty to seek wealth and glory.

As expected, the inner and outer gates were determined from the very beginning, and there was only one in a million who was as prominent as him.

The situations of the four inner sect members are now very different.

Chen Ergou is the undisputed number one, invincible among his peers, firmly sitting on the throne of the Lord of Law Enforcement Hall, looking down on all living beings.

Wu Taisheng obtained the position of elder of Yuegui Peak, and gradually gained composure. He also passed down the Taoist tradition and had the aura of a role model.

Zhao Tianyang retained a bit of his knight-errant nature, and although he did not obtain the position of elder, he made friends with people from all over the country, and he was unrestrained and free and easy.

As for Liu Shao, after experiencing a failed foundation-building attempt, he changed a lot. He became more law-abiding and found a cave to meditate and practice Qi in order to find some peace and quiet.
