The human heart is a profound knowledge.
Xue Kong doesn't dare to say that he can see through everyone's heart, nor does he dare to say that he can manipulate people's hearts, but he can be ruthless.
Completely heartless, detached from all worldly desires, free from this bondage.
Treat all beings as equal.
Not bound by any emotions.
Look at other people's hearts from an outsider's perspective.
In this way, you can naturally see more clearly than others.
He had no grudge against Xiao Wu and acted this way only to control the alchemist. He did not care about Xiao Wu's young age and innocence. This was the coldness and ruthlessness in Xue Kong's heart.
For this.
Honglian saw it very clearly. After some time, she found that after the incident at Qixia Pass, Xue Kong had a special temperament.
Xue Kong became different again.
After getting Xue Kong's promise, no matter what the alchemist planned in his heart, he knew that he had no way out. If he wanted to save Xiao Wu's life and prevent him from suffering, he had to refine the elixir for Xue Kong.
Refine a hundred pills as soon as possible and beg Xue Kong for mercy.
So, for the next period of time, the alchemist almost neglected sleep and food, spending every minute and every second on refining the elixir.
In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed.
Time flies like water, and eight years have passed in a flash.
There are countless resources in the wild land. With the assistance of the two powerful forces, Xue Kong and Honglian, the alchemist's process of obtaining materials is very smooth, and even rare spiritual medicines can be found.
However, the alchemist's own cultivation level is not high after all. Although his attainments in alchemy are better than Xue Kong and Honglian, it is indeed difficult for him to refine pills that can improve his cultivation level in the late Nascent Soul stage.
In the first one or two years, the success rate of alchemy was not high and failures occurred frequently.
Fortunately, there are many spiritual medicines in the wild land, and there is enough room for failure. With successive failures, the alchemist's alchemy attainments are increasing day by day.
One day in the fourth year, he finally refined a bottle of elixir that could improve the Nascent Soul stage to the late stage.
It's called Tongshen Pills.
In the remaining four years, the alchemist, with his increasingly proficient alchemy skills, was able to refine more and more pills.
During the eight years, Honglian was very quiet. If Xue Kong had not called her, she would have been comprehending her own way. These ordinary days did not improve her way.
As for Xue Kong, he stabilized his own cultivation and completely stopped at the late Nascent Soul stage.
And after testing the pill made by the alchemist, he swallowed the pill and tried to improve his cultivation and practice slowly.
Wood attribute spiritual root aptitude.
There were no more advanced wood-attributed techniques for Xue Kong to practice. His speed of practice depended entirely on the speed at which his spiritual roots absorbed elixirs and the speed at which his strong physique expelled impurities.
Eight years.
Although Xue Kong swallowed a lot of pills, his cultivation never made a breakthrough and remained in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Until noon of this day eight years later.
A huge roar echoed from the mountainside, and a loud laugh rang out from the cave atop the mountain: "Hahaha! It's done! I've finally refined this last set of elixirs!"
"I did it, hahahaha!"
There was a hint of madness in the laughter, as well as an indescribable excitement.
Next second.
The mountain exploded with a loud bang, cutting the entire mountain in half from the waist. Then, a long rainbow rushed out from the smoke and dust, fell in the air, and turned into a figure with disheveled hair.
The man had white hair and looked like a madman, with three white porcelain bottles floating in front of him.
There were bloodshot eyes, full of excitement.
"Master, I have successfully refined a hundred pills for you!" the alchemist shouted excitedly, "Please return Xiao Wu to me."
Where the alchemist's eyes are looking.
It was a small mountain. On the top of the mountain, Xue Kong, wearing a loose black robe, was sitting cross-legged there. When the alchemist came out of retreat, Xue Kong's eyes also opened.
"Okay." Xue Kong opened his mouth and spoke lightly.
Hearing this, excitement appeared on the alchemist's face. He pushed the three bottles of pills in front of him to Xue Kong with both hands, and then stood there, waiting for Xue Kong's charity.
Xue Kong took the three bottles of pills without even looking at them. With a wave of his sleeves, Xiao Wu's slender body, which had grown into a young man, was thrown towards the alchemist.
The alchemist excitedly supported Xiao Wu, his trembling hands fell on Xiao Wu's face, and his spiritual sense spread out, covering Xiao Wu's body and examining him.
"Fortunately, he is just unconscious and safe... Child, you have suffered. It is your grandfather who has made you suffer." There were turbid tears in the alchemist's eyes, dripping onto Xiao Wu's face.
Xiao Wu's thin face was slightly touched, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Grandpa..."
"Good boy, grandpa will take you home." The alchemist wiped away his tears and held Xiao Wu's hand tightly.
Then he raised his head, looked at Xue Kong with fear in his eyes, and said in a loud voice: "Fellow Daoist, our grudges have been settled. I am grateful for your keeping your promise, but I hope we will never meet again in the future."
The alchemist looked at Xue Kong deeply.
He never wanted to see Xue Kong again. This devil taught him a profound lesson.
After leaving, he would never return to Qixia Pass. He decided to take Xiao Wu away from disputes, retire to the mountains, and live a peaceful life in this wild land.
Xue Kong calmly watched the alchemist who turned into a long rainbow and left.
Slowly, he stood up from his cross-legged position, raised his right hand, and was about to cast a spell. Suddenly, his right hand paused, and he looked at the white sky in a daze.
A moment later, Honglian, with an indifferent expression, stepped down from the sky, holding two heads, one old and one young, in her hands.
"I didn't give you such an order." Xue Kong spoke to Honglian lightly with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
Honglian casually tossed the two heads into the forest and said, "This is their destined end."
"For the past eight years, I haven't made any progress in my Tao, but just now..."
"I'll kill Xiao Wu first."
"I felt the sadness from his great-grandfather, and it loosened my stagnant path."
"Heaven is cruel." Xue Kong shook his head and said nothing more.
Xue Kong's body flew up lightly.
He did not blame Honglian for taking the initiative to kill the two generations of grandfather and grandson. It was just an accident. Why would Honglian, who still had some kindness in the past, take the initiative to kill people?
Perhaps, Honglian saw that he also wanted to wipe out the roots.
Perhaps Honglian saw through his own path.
By experimenting in this way, one can eventually come up with a method that can improve one's own path, which is to feel the sorrow of the world.
"I have found the path I should take. The path to becoming a god is right before my eyes." Xue Kong murmured, his feet walking in the void, striding towards the white sky.
The way of heaven is ruthless.
Xue Kong's ruthlessness compared to the ruthlessness of heaven is like a firefly compared to the bright moon, or a drop of water compared to the ocean.
But after the incident with Honglian, he also understood how to become a god.
"This time, I will become a god..."
“…”
