Chapter 160 A Stubborn One (Two-in-One Extra)

In front of the podium, Feng Yi crossed his arms and sneered, "I can tell you, the disciples of our sect are smart to be able to come out. Don't tell me that they are fine. You need to give me an explanation for this matter."

Before the sound of the Supreme Sect could be turned off, a cry of surprise was heard.

"Uncle Junior Master!"

Feng Yi suddenly turned around and looked, feeling a chill in his heart.

Ni Jinxuan had been looking at Lin Du. When she stood up, she discovered scattered spots of blood on the ground, like trembling flowers floating on the loess.

Lin Du waved his hands lazily, indicating that she was fine.

It's just that I broke too many formations today, so it's normal to have a cerebral hemorrhage.

She was particularly accustomed to the process of swallowing the pill with her own blood. She swallowed the pill that filled the deficiency of her consciousness by herself. "It's okay. Let's go."

They spent quite a bit of time on this level.

There were sighs from the stands. This Lin Du... although he was extremely talented, with this kind of job, it seemed like he would be considered a member of the Supreme Sect if he could live one more day.

The fourth level is usually about questioning your conscience.

Before the team battle in the fifth level, it is necessary to ask your conscience.

Perhaps this level is nothing in the eyes of others, but Feng Yi knows that perhaps this fourth level is the fatal level for Lin Du.

Lin Du is a smart student, but definitely not a good one.

She has too strong a sense of independence and is too opinionated. She learns everything her teachers taught her, but takes almost no advice from them. If you want to shake her formed ideas, you have to let her experience them herself, so that she will reflect on herself and change.

In Yan Ye's words, if there is one stubborn bull, even eight hundred cows in the zoo in the back mountain can't pull it back.

As soon as the five people entered the fourth level, they were already in a fantasy world. They just stood there with their eyes closed, like five exquisite sculptures. Just standing there was a delight to the eyes.

If you ignore the jerky that you just held in your mouth and the candy cake in your hands because you breathed a sigh of relief.

A formation mark gradually appeared under the feet of the five people. Once there was any situation in the formation, it could be reflected through the formation mark.

For example, the formation under the feet of the child Ni Jinxuan is colorful and very gorgeous, but it can be seen that the illusion is very beautiful and runs very smoothly.

Sure enough, after a while, Ni Jinxuan opened her eyes, raised the cake in her hand blankly and took a bite, and found that the four people around her were still stiff and had not come out.

She had no choice but to find a place to sit by herself, nibbling the cake like a hamster, staring at the four people in front of her with her big eyes.

In summer, the lines under my feet are extremely red, as if they will burst into flames in the next moment.

She was the second one to wake up. After waking up, she took a deep breath and showed some expression for once.

Although she was devoted to alchemy, ever since she had obtained the purest original exotic fire between heaven and earth by chance, she had to overcome many things in her cultivation. It was not easy to completely merge with a exotic fire.

A medical practitioner who always produces bad pills and blows up the pill furnace is not considered a good alchemist.

After the illusion reached the point where she refined the alien fire, there were explosions of failure.

Until Lin Du appeared.

The first time, she said with a smile, "Isn't that the legendary pregnancy pill?"

The second time, she said, "What useless pill? That's our Supreme Sect's specialty, the super-invincible, thunder-like, cool, and biochemically intimidating Heavenly Thunder Seed."

The third time was when she finished practicing and followed Jiang Liang to the alchemy room lazily. Xia Tian Wucai had fried a pot in the afternoon, and Mo Lin was repairing the roof at that moment. Lin Du was hit on the head by his senior brother because of the explosion and was screaming.

He went to help Jiang Liang repair the roof under the excuse of being covered in dust, but when he arrived he only sat side by side with his second nephew who was holding the remains of the alchemy furnace. One of them reflected on himself silently, while the other was daydreaming in space.

Lin Du gave a casual instruction, "In fact, your pill refining is hindered by the fact that the source of the alien fire is too intense, and you have to ensure that the medicine is refined for a long time, so you have been practicing the control of the alien fire. Just now I saw that you were able to control the alien fire into such a stable and small ball, so your control should be good enough."

"Have you ever thought that the reason why the furnace exploded is not because of you, but because of the furnace? The foreign fire was so intense that the furnace was not heated evenly, which caused the furnace to explode. There was also a temperature difference between the inside and the outside. How about you let me add another formation to this furnace for you?"

After Lin Du came back from Phoenix City, he became keen on carving patterns on the pots, pans, and bowls in the kitchen. He also successfully researched how to cook rice on a scheduled time, saving a lot of time.

Because the stove explodes too often, the stove that is useless in summer is not a very precious alchemy stove, but it is mainly characterized by high temperature resistance and strong toughness, so theoretically there is no problem.

In order not to hurt Lin Du's enthusiasm, Xia Tianwu still gave it to Lin Du to try.

Lin Du, Yan Qing, Yuanye and Cang Li worked hard for several months before they managed to build a pill furnace that could better withstand the strange fire. Although the furnace is a bit strange and ugly now, it has never exploded, and the success rate of refining pills has increased by 20%.

Until then, Xia Tianwu had finally come to terms with his conscience.

She was used to being quiet and introverted by nature, and her master was also a taciturn person who didn't talk much, so it was not until Lin Du came that she realized that maybe some things could be done by many people together, and it would be much better even if they just talked about it, looked at it, or referred to it.

It is useless to keep looking for reasons in yourself and deny your own value. People always have to move on.

Most of the time, what Lin Du said was unorthodox, but it always worked wonders on the people of the Supreme Sect.

For example, "Don't blame yourself. When something happens, look for the cause in others first. If there are no others, look for the cause in the environment."

"After all, you are also a genius in alchemy. Do you know what a genius is? It means to find a new way and let the environment adapt to the talent, instead of letting the talent adapt to the environment."

Summer has come out.

Next came Yan Qing, who was mumbling something and finally let out a loud shout, with the dried meat in his mouth falling out.

Yan Qing quickly caught it.

"It was such a close call. It was really scary. I dreamed that my junior master came out of the bookstore and said, "You have never read this book before." I was so scared that I secretly read the book for three nights at night."

Jin Xuan pondered for a while, "But Yan Qing, haven't you read enough books? Junior Master has never said anything about you, right?"

Yan Qing chewed the dried meat with a lingering fear and swallowed it with effort. "So I said that this is all in the past. Everything is in the past. Now I have a complete range of hunting skills! Invincible!"

He glanced at Lin Du who was still in the formation, and added guiltily, "Only second to Junior Master."

This time, three people sat in a row and ate the crispy and sweet spiritual fruit.

Yuan Ye was the second to last to wake up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard the crunching sound of fruit being bitten. He heaved a sigh of relief, "It's really hard to endure. The world of cultivation is still better."

Life in the palace is not a good one.

Lin Du has always been the one who least worries her, but now she is the only one left in the illusion.

This year's soul-searching illusion uses the reincarnation technique.

After entering the secret realm, you will look back on your previous life, from the day you were born, moving forward all the way, looking back at the past, and tempering your state of mind.

Only the key points that you care about most in your heart will stay for a long time if you have a deep memory. Otherwise, the time without any grudges will pass away very quickly like falling petals.

But Lin Du undoubtedly had many difficulties in his previous life.

Lin Du felt very uncomfortable.

On the day of the birth, the grandparents who were waiting outside the delivery room immediately turned unhappy and went home when they heard that it was a girl.

That was clearly what her mother told her later, but now she saw that scene clearly in the illusion.

Another father asked for leave, and his colleagues laughed and joked, "If it was a son, he would be happy not to bother asking for leave."

The faces of those people, some unhappy, some lonely, and some laughing, appeared in Lin Du's sight.

When I grew up a little, I had to stand on a bench in the big yard, without any adults to look after me, and struggled to cook glutinous rice balls or frozen dumplings for myself. When my parents came home, there were endless quarrels and resentment.

"Lin Du, you have to remember that you are a girl. Your grandparents don't like you, so our family can't get any property. You have to work hard to be successful!"

"Your father is incompetent. I'm leaving."

"If you don't want this burden, how could I want it?"

Her parents separated, and her grandmother, who raised her, died of a heart attack before her tenth birthday.

At the funeral, her mother cried her heart out. She went forward to comfort her, but was pushed away. She missed a step and fell down the stairs.

When he grew up a little, the teacher sighed and seemed to be hesitant to talk about the complicated tuition fees. Lin Du could only put aside his self-esteem, and prepare himself mentally again and again in embarrassment. Then he asked for living expenses from his parents who had already started their own families like a beggar.

Then every phone call is a delay.

The humble pleas and the hesitant reasons, even the legitimate tuition fees, sound like pale and unnecessary excuses.

Lin Du thought he had forgotten that feeling, but now it seems that the huge waves of memories still wash over him, and his skin is all sore. Eventually he becomes numb.

She went through these difficulties numbly, and her heart no longer had the former embarrassment and self-esteem. In order to survive, there was nothing she couldn't do.

I studied very hard, got into a good university, received a student loan, and before I even entered school, I started working as a mobile company agent selling SIM cards, tutoring, and working part-time.

Until she graduated successfully, found a good job, and paid off her loan, she became a conventional elite in everyone's eyes. She was like a discarded stone, polishing herself desperately, grinding off the original gray and fluffy outer skin, and turning it into a moist jade. Polishing the shape only added some gold and silver to make it a pendant. There was no other room for improvement, so she lost the meaning of living.

There is actually no point in trying desperately to prove your ability and to prove that you are living a good life alone.

Because it was just an insignificant little stone that the two people had abandoned in their failed past.

No one cares whether the stone is a piece of jade, what exquisite shape it is carved into, or in which exhibition cabinet it shines.

People came and went around her, the crowd was surging, but she was the only one who remained where she was, like a stubborn stone.

She was swallowed by the huge waves and swept into the endless deep sea.

Whether it is jade or not, it is just a piece of stone.

Until Lin Du opened his eyes again, a hand held her firmly.

"Are you okay?" It was Du Shao.

Then it was Yan Ye who said, "Now, I have your back."

She was unwilling to accept Yan Ye, so she set a goal for herself: to defeat him and let him feel the feeling of being crushed.

At least...she should be able to see Yan Ye's reaction after being surpassed by her apprentice.

The modern Lin Du cannot see his parents’ reactions when they learn that he has been admitted to a prestigious school, but the Lin Du in the world of cultivation can see his master’s angry and frustrated look.

"Master Junior, are you okay?"

The voice was mixed with worry, and it sounded like Jinxuan, but when I listened carefully it was Tianwu again.

"Junior Master, I'm fine." It was Mo Lin.

"It has to be you, Junior Master." Is it Yuan Ye or Yan Qing?

"Just do what you want to do, little sister."

"Lin Du, we are holding you back, not to ask you to die."

"It's okay. I'll teach you."

…

Are there any relationships in the world that are permanent? Is it difficult to maintain them even for decades?

It seems like... more than nine years have passed.

What is the meaning of life?

Lin Du felt the call.

What is it?

Perhaps, even though we know that the world is ever-changing, we still cannot let go of the light of the world. With the rising and setting of the moon, we are still moved by every bit of warmth.

Starting from scratch, a strong and fearless life.

Lin Du's eyelashes trembled slightly and he opened his eyes.

What he heard was a chaotic and overlapping sound of "Junior Master!", so noisy that Lin Du wanted to continue closing his eyes.

But she soon realized something was wrong.

Lin Du looked at the hand on his wrist thoughtfully. It was Jinxuan, and behind Jinxuan was Tianwu. The one putting his arm around Jinxuan's shoulder was Yuanye, and behind Yuanye was Yan Qing.

But they didn't move yet because they were covered with a thin layer of frost.

Frozen.

Lin Du: ...

"I did it?"

Four pairs of eyes looked at her innocently and blinked at the same time.
