There was a long period of silence in the small cave.
Faint light shone through the small opening on the cave's ceiling, illuminating the slightly damp ground and reflecting faint patterns of light. Luo Jianqing tightly grasped Xuan Lingzi's hand, awaiting his answer. His eyes were wide, flashing with seriousness, unwilling to miss any important details.
Because, this may be the key to the seventh victory in "Nine Lotuses Conquering the Heavens".
There was no fluctuation on Xuan Lingzi's fair and cold face. He lowered his eyes and looked at Luo Jianqing calmly, as if nothing had happened. The only strange thing was that he had never spoken a word.
The two stared at each other. The situation was so strange that Luo Jianqing couldn't help but ask again. Only then did Xuan Lingzi calmly say, "Many years ago, when you were away, your master...went to a secret realm for training, and then had a wonderful encounter. This encounter was so fantastical that your master has never told anyone about it. I only know that during that encounter, your...path of reincarnation seemed to have changed."
Luo Jianqing's pupils trembled slightly. Seeing Xuan Lingzi paused at this point, he couldn't help but ask, "The Way of Reincarnation? Master, what does the Way of Reincarnation mean? Can you explain it more clearly?"
Xuan Lingzi's hands, hanging below the bamboo couch, first tightened, then loosened slightly. He lowered his voice and said, "Master cannot explain it clearly. Perhaps it is because during the reincarnation, Master is different from others, and can... enter the reincarnation better."
Luo Jianqing listened to these words in bewilderment, as if he didn't understand. He naturally didn't notice that Xuan Lingzi's back was already damp. His back was straight, as if it would break at the slightest touch.
After confirming that Luo Jianqing had no sequelae, Xuan Lingzi turned around and continued to refine the elixir, while Luo Jianqing continued to carefully ponder the seventh realm of "Nine Lotuses Conquering the Heavens".
Xuan Lingzi, dressed in white, cast a calm gaze upon the alchemy furnace, constantly scorched by the flames of his primordial spirit. Causal lines densely clustered around his body, so numerous that even Luo Jianqing couldn't distinguish them. The thickest, brightest line stretched from his heart all the way to Luo Jianqing's body. Aside from the missing bright red line, his causal lines were identical to those of others, even more numerous and denser.
Eleven days later, with a huge explosion, this batch of pills failed again.
Luo Jianqing was just outside the cave using Mengsha to train his will. When he heard the explosion, he hurried back to the cave and saw that there was a tear on the corner of Xuan Lingzi's clothes, but at first glance there was no scar.
Luo Jianqing immediately went up and asked, "Are you not injured?"
Xuan Lingzi nodded and said, "Nothing."
Luo Jianqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "Master, why were you so careless when refining the elixir this time? An alchemy furnace explosion is a serious matter. If it's not properly controlled, it could even cause the alchemist to die."
This was Xuan Lingzi's third failure. Failure was common, but the commotion it caused was unusual. The first two failures hadn't even made a sound, let alone an explosion in the furnace. If Xuan Lingzi hadn't told Luo Jianqing that the pill refining had failed, Luo Jianqing wouldn't have known about it.
Luo Jianqing said casually: "When refining the elixir, you must concentrate fully and not be distracted."
Xuan Lingzi's body stiffened and he responded softly.
Next came the fourth attempt.
One by one, the dream demons were captured and brought to the cave, thrown into the alchemy furnace, becoming ingredients for alchemy. Luo Jianqing sat on a bamboo couch, practicing the Nine Lotus Heaven-Seizing Record, sensing the laws of heaven and earth while cautiously reaching for the unknown seventh realm.
It was like walking through a thick fog, with the first six realms already clear behind him, but before him lay the seventh realm, whose location was unknown. Today, Luo Jianqing finally understood why Senior Qingjun had waited until the very end to help him in the Wind God Sea in the far north, and why he felt so deeply regretful.
Before Qingjun turned into a wick, he left a trace of thought to Luo Jianqing. When they were on the Fengshen Sea, in order to help Luo Jianqing and Mo Qiu escape, Qingjun's thought helped Luo Jianqing learn the fifth "Seize Life and Death" of "Nine Lotuses Seizing the Sky Record", but it also disappeared at the same time.
At that time, Qing Jun had said, "I wanted to lend you a hand with my master's experience when you encountered the Seventh Robbery."
The world has changed, and the past is over. Luo Jianqing doesn't regret what he did. Although he knew that even if he learned the fifth skill "Seize Life and Death", he would not be able to save Mo Qiu, but he had no choice at the time. In order to survive, he could only let Qingjun help him at that time.
Luo Jianqing closed his eyes tightly and used his soul to look at the lines between heaven and earth.
The Path of Reincarnation...
That is the path of reincarnation.
Why does the path of reincarnation not connect to the sky but only to the earth?
Could it be that this path of reincarnation is not bound by the laws of nature?
But how can a stone have the path of reincarnation? How can a grain of sand have the path of reincarnation?
They were lifeless. They weren't human, demonic, or even some strange creature like the Dream Demon. So why was that bright red thread even connected to them? If stones and sand have reincarnation, then could a drop of water also have it?
Luo Jianqing clapped his hands, and a drop of water condensed in the air.
The water droplet was suspended in his palm, crystal clear, like a pearl, gleaming with dazzling light. There was actually a thread on this droplet of water! And there was more than one thread!
There are two lines on this drop of water. The first line is connected to Luo Jianqing, and the second line is connected to the earth!
This is also a slightly dull bright red line!
