Chapter 96 Undercurrent
Not long after Deng Bin broke through, a disciple in Qingyang Sect responsible for guarding the strange fire also broke through to the foundation building stage.
This man’s name is Quanshan.
Although his qualifications are not as good as Deng Bin's, he only broke through after swallowing a foundation-building pill.
But no matter what he said, he was also the fourth monk on earth to break through to the foundation building stage, so he was in and out of the limelight for a while.
The appearance of two rising stars in a row made the leader Bu Tianran feel a little anxious.
It’s not that I’m jealous of those two people.
It’s true that as a senior, he can’t hold on to his face.
In addition, Bu Tianran himself was extremely obsessed with cultivation, so after he could not make any progress in his cultivation for a long time, he became anxious.
…
City of Hope.
The Qingyang Zongshan Gate is the place where Xie Shenqing cultivated it.
With a trace of panic and entanglement, Bu Tianran came to Xie Shen's residence.
Outside the door.
Bu Tianran pressed the doorbell and shouted inside: "Master, my disciple Bu Tianran wants to see you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xie Shen respond: "Come in, I'm not in retreat, just feel free to do it."
"Hey!"
Bu Tianran heard the sound and entered.
But in the room:
Xie Shen and Deng Bin were lying on the sofa together, playing the latest game console.
Not far away.
Yang Sizheng was patiently cutting the fruit, and then poured some milk on the fruit. It seemed that he was making a simple milkshake.
This scene made Bu Tianran feel that he had traveled back to the 21st and 22nd centuries.
He stood there stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and saluted: "Master, Junior Brother Deng Bin, you are polite!"
"You really don't have to do this!"
< br>
Seeing Bu Tianran salute, Xie Shen said speechlessly: "We are all modern people."
"If it was in a public place, or when I was preaching, it would be okay for you to do this."
“But in private.”
“You can just treat me as a peer.”
“After all, we are all familiar with each other now, unlike when we first met. Son.”
Xie Shen said so.
But obviously, Bu Tianran did not listen to these words.
He still had that stern look, and he cupped his hands at Xie Shen and said, "Disciple, please remember, try to be more casual in private in the future."
See you here.
Bu Tianran bowed his hands to himself again, leaving Xie Shen completely speechless.
He knew in his heart that people are easy to change and their nature is hard to change, so he no longer forced it, but took the initiative to say: "You came to me because you encountered problems in practice?"
"Yes." Tian Ran said distressedly: "10 years."
"It has been more than ten years since I broke through to the foundation building stage."
"There are two people in the sect who have come from behind. , caught up with me."
"Then Master also broke through to the Golden Core stage early."
"I am the only one who has not changed much in my cultivation as it was ten years ago."
As he said that, Bu Tianran suddenly went to Xie Shen and bowed again: "Master, I dare to ask you if you have anything. The secret method can help monks break through."
"It doesn't matter if you have to pay some price to practice this secret method."
"As long as you can break through, no matter how hard you endure, the disciple can do it. Accepted.”
The room.
After hearing what Bu Tianran said, Xie Shen suddenly put down the game controller.
He looked at the other party, and said with both annoyance and amusement: "Bu Tianran, do you know why I don't go to retreat to practice, but waste my time playing games here?"
? ?
Bu Tianran said nothing, but looked at Xie Shen with a puzzled look on his face.
But Xie Shen asked and answered: "That's because: I am also stuck in the golden elixir stage bottleneck, and I can't break through no matter how hard I try."
"I also said before: if the golden elixir stage monks want to break through, they must first gather the power of the four images."
"That is, the Qinglong in the East Palace, the Xuanwu in the South Palace, the White Tiger in the West Palace, and the Suzaku in the North Palace."
“But the problem is, these four divine beasts do not exist on earth at all.”
“So as far as I am concerned, the path of spiritual practice in front of me has been cut off.”
"Do you understand?"
Xie Shen finally asked Bu Tianran: "But I am not anxious at all. Do you know why?"
Bu Tianran subconsciously said: "Why?"
" Because it’s useless to be anxious.”
Xie Shen said: “As the saying goes, there are many ways.”
“There are so many opportunities for monks in this world.”
"Perhaps one day in the future, when the opportunity comes, you and I will seize the opportunity and make a breakthrough."
"So practice cannot be rushed."
"You must Seize the opportunity, understand?”
“If you are so eager for success, you will easily get carried away and it will not help your practice at all.”
Opportunity?
Opportunity
Opportunity
Hearing what Xie Shen said, Bu Tianran seemed to have caught something suddenly.
He repeated the word 'chance' several times, and then bowed to Xie Shen and said, "Disciple, I understand. Thank you Master for your guidance!"
"No." Xie Shen was divined. Tian Ran's reaction was confusing: "What did you understand? I just told you not to be in a hurry for success. Don't understand what I said!"
"Disciple understands." Bu Tianran said respectfully: "Practice is not only about talent and hard work, but also requires opportunities."
"When the opportunity comes, you will naturally be able to make a breakthrough."
Say that. , Bu Tianran no longer stayed at Xie Shen's residence.
He said goodbye and left in a hurry.
“Senior Brother Bu.”
On the sofa.
Looking at Bu Tianran's leaving back, Deng Bin worriedly asked: "Is he okay? Why do I suddenly have a bad premonition?" distressed.
He had no time to think about himself. At this moment, he was in no mood to speculate on Bu Tianran’s thoughts, so he said: “Let him alone!”
“The ship has arrived. The bridge head is naturally straight.”
"The roads are all made by people."
"Maybe he can also find his own way."
…
Cultivation has no time.
Although Xie Shen deliberately slowed down his cultivation progress, after years of accumulation, he naturally broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
——When monks practice, they will encounter bottlenecks only at great levels.
For example, the late stage of Qi training breaks through to the foundation building stage.
Another example is the breakthrough to the golden elixir stage in the later stage of foundation building.
As for the same realm, from the early stage of cultivation to the later stage, it is just a lot of hard work.
Unless the qualifications are really dull.
Otherwise, as long as you are willing to spend time, you can always break through the small realm in the end.
…
In this way, time came to the spring of 6167 in a blink of an eye.
This day.
Xie Shen was practicing hard in seclusion in a secret room, and was about to break through from the middle stage of the Golden Elixir to the late stage of the Golden Elixir in one fell swoop.
But the voice of elder Ran Zhuyu suddenly sounded from outside the secret room: "Master, Bu Tianran has disappeared!"
"Ah?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard the words: "What's going on? This is so good, Can monks in the Foundation Establishment Period disappear? "
"Well, it's not actually missing."
Ran Zhuyu quickly changed his words: "Just 6 days ago, someone saw Senior Brother Bu. Yujian flew out of Hope City."
"And since then, Senior Brother Bu has never come back."
Ran Zhuyu continued: "Now that Senior Brother Bu has left, no one will be able to deal with the various things that he was supposed to be responsible for in the sect, so I thought of coming to ask for your instructions, Master. Please take a look at this matter."< br>
Xie Shen knew very well: Bu Tianran ran away this time, most likely to look for the so-called 'opportunity'.
Thinking of this, Xie Shen had a headache and said: "Since Bu Tianran is thinking about a breakthrough, don't let him take care of all the affairs of the sect anymore."
"This palm I’ll let you take over the position for the time being!”
“From today on, you can receive one more Foundation Establishment Pill than others every year.”
"How is it?"
"Are you willing?"
Ran Zhuyu was very willing to receive one more Foundation Building Pill.
He agreed to Xie Shen's arrangement without thinking, and then said: "By the way, there have been more and more fake people gathering outside Hope City recently."< br>
“About half a month ago, they organized a small-scale attack and even sent out two Octopus Mechas.”
Is the dummy finally taking action?
Xie Shen asked curiously: "How strong is the puppet army? Can it stop it?"
"That's very possible." Ran Zhuyu replied: "The puppet army is The strength is far inferior to that of us humans."
"The one who led the team to fight was Elder Quanshan who had just broken through the foundation building stage."
"He only used one. With a flying sword, the whole team of dummies was wiped out without even a single soldier."
Ran Zhuyu continued: "That is to say, Li Xiu wants to stabilize and develop for a while."
"Otherwise, maybe the entire Yangtze River Basin has been taken over by us humans."< br>
"To be honest." Ran Zhuyu finally concluded: "I feel that in no more than 10 years at most, we humans will be able to regain the earth."
Outside the secret room.
After Ran Zhuyu chatted with Xie Shen for a few more words, he took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
Xie Shen continued to retreat in the secret room.
Puppets are weak.
The human side is developing at a rapid pace.
Whether it is technology or cultivation, there are earth-shaking changes almost every day.
Everything is stable and improving.
…
One month later.
On the southern tower of Hope City.
Deng Bin’s sword hangs high in the sky.
With his good vision from the air, he looked at the small group of dummies approaching in the distance, with a flash of contempt in his eyes.
He said to the acting head Ran Zhuyu who was standing on the city tower: "Junior brother, there is just such a small group of puppets, how could you call me over? Any group of modified people can kill them all, right?" br>
"No, the dummy who came this time is different." Ran Zhuyu looked ahead and pointedly said: "You continue to look."
On the wilderness outside the city.
While Deng Bin was talking with Ran Zhuyu.
But seeing the small group of dummies in the distance, they all suddenly pulled out a dagger from their waists and began to harm themselves crazily.
Maybe I think this is not enough.
Not long after.
The dummies took out various torture instruments such as tweezers, scissors, steel needles, and fire tongs from the backpacks behind them.
They helped each other and began to torture each other crazily.
The brutality of its methods is even worse than the strength of Tower Prison.
About a quarter of an hour passed like this.
Before Deng Bin and others could take action, the small group of dummies continued to torture themselves and died tragically on the spot one after another.
Deng Bin was completely dumbfounded by this scene.
He froze in place and said: "What are these fake people doing??"
