The sect competition has reached a white-hot stage, with swords flying everywhere and the fighting is fierce.

After Liu Ruochen used her most powerful blood sacrifice method, the expected one-sided scene did not occur. On the contrary, she was at a disadvantage, and her beautiful face suddenly became ugly.

The feeling of frustration is really uncomfortable.

Liu Ruochen said politely with a fake smile, “Senior Sister, your cultivation has improved again.”

Senior Sister Yuning immediately responded, “You’re not bad either.”

After hearing this, Liu Ruochen suddenly became angry, “Looks like they are going to get serious.”

“I’m waiting.”

She gritted her teeth and chose to sacrifice again. Li Yuning did not give in, and they each used their unique skills. Everyone only saw a green sword light and a golden sword light fiercely collided with each other, dazzling and eye-catching.

As a result, after the sword lights disappeared, everyone saw a bloody figure on the ground.

Liu Ruochen was defeated.

At this moment, her body was covered with wounds. Although her injuries were not fatal, she almost looked like a bloody person, which was really frightening.

Seeing Liu Ruochen’s miserable state, everyone present couldn’t help but be shocked. Even the sect leader Li Yunshang changed his expression and frowned. He almost concluded at a glance that there was something wrong with her cultivation method.

The sect does not encourage disciples to use life-threatening methods such as burning blood to transform qi in the arena. This does not count as a violation of the rules, but it is not recommended either, because this is a technique derived from the Blood Demon Sect. Now that something has unfortunately gone wrong, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

“The winner is Li Yuning!”

Chapter 150 Visiting the Sick

The news that Liu Ruochen went insane during the sect competition and ended up covered in blood spread like wildfire and reached almost everyone’s ears, naturally also reaching Ye Hong. For this reason, Ye Wanqing specially sent her some healing pills, and Ye Hong also planned to take some time to visit Senior Sister Liu.

After hearing his thoughts, Qingyi raised her eyebrows, her eyes showed a little surprise, her lips moved, but she said nothing.

Ye Hong felt a little strange, and looked up at her, “Master, why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something strange…”

Qingyi glanced at him and said calmly, “What else can you think of?”

She had gradually figured out her apprentice’s personality and felt that he was simply interested in women’s bodies.

Ye Hong was silent for a long time after hearing this, and said self-deprecatingly: “It makes so much sense, it’s hard to refute.”

“Go.” Qingyi had long been annoyed by his sickly appearance. Now his internal organs were damaged to a certain extent, so it would be good for him to rest for a few days.

……

Ye Hong went down the mountain by himself and strolled along the way. The people he met were all senior sisters from the inner sect, most of whom he didn’t know. Occasionally, there were one or two senior sisters he was familiar with, so he greeted them and chatted with them.

“Senior Sister Liufang, it’s been a long time since we parted ways at Xuanhuo Sect.”

The female disciple had a pretty face, like a lotus emerging from water, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her lips, “Hmph, Junior Brother, I heard that you came early, but you didn’t want to come to me, Senior Sister, to reminisce about the past.”

Ye Hong chuckled and said politely, “Isn’t this because I’m afraid of bothering Senior Sister?”

Our relationship cannot be said to be very close, but after all, we know each other and can talk to each other.

“I heard that you have formed a pill so quickly, that’s really good. It’s a pity that Senior Sister thought you could still develop for a few more years, but you are already fixed, tsk tsk.”

The senior sister was a little emotional, and the expression on her pretty face seemed like she wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.

“I will grow older.” Ye Hong was helpless. In fact, he was also a little depressed. After forming the golden elixir, the indestructible golden nature also included the effect of maintaining youth. Although he would still continue to age, the speed would be greatly slowed down.

Or in other words, appearance is still based on vitality. People with long lifespans age slowly, that’s all.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule of experience in the world of cultivating immortals that among the senior masters, the younger the appearance, the better the aptitude.

Speaking of which, the Changshou Sect, which is located in the southern part of Huazhou and is one of the subordinate sects of the Hua Sect, can be said to be the sect with the highest average age in the world. For example, the white-bearded Jindan immortal that Ye Hong had seen at the Ascension Conference in the past was the standard image of the Changshou Sect.

When Senior Sister Liufang heard that Ye Hong was coming to visit the former chief, she showed him the way. In fact, Ye Hong knew how to get there, but there was a kind of getting lost called “Senior Sister thinks you will get lost”

As for Ye Hong personally, he has never wanted his senior sisters to treat him like a child, as he always felt a little ashamed.

But no matter what, his age and qualifications are there, and the senior sisters have been practicing for many years, and most of them are “young girls” in their fifties or sixties. In comparison, he is really like a little brother. With a height of only 1.4 meters, it will be difficult to change the senior sisters’ views of him in a short time, so he is simply too lazy to struggle.

After that, the two parted ways.

Ye Hong came to Liu Ruochen’s residence and looked at the small courtyard. Although it was not as big as his, the flowers and plants placed there made him feel comfortable for some reason.

It’s not that the place is deserted, but most of the people who should have come have already come, so it’s inevitable that it seems a little quiet.

Ye Hong suddenly remembered a line from the Dream of the Red Chamber: If I had known he was coming, I would not have come. If they wanted to come, I would have come in droves, otherwise I would have come alone. If he came today, I would have come tomorrow. If we staggered our comings, wouldn’t there be someone coming every day? It wouldn’t be too lonely, nor would it be too lively.

This is Lin Daiyu’s amazing wisdom.

Ye Hong knocked on the door and said loudly: “Senior sister, Junior Brother Ye Hong came to visit…”

“come in.”

He pushed the door gently and it opened. When he walked into the room, he saw Senior Sister Liu lying quietly on the bed. Her face was slightly pale, just like Sister Lin.

After Liu Ruochen saw who was coming, his expression softened.

Ye Hong sighed slightly, a trace of concern in his eyes, came to the bedside, and asked softly: “Senior Sister, how do you feel? Are you okay?”

Liu Ruochen bit her lip and shook her head gently: “I still feel a little uncomfortable, but thank you for coming to visit me, Junior Brother.”

“It’s okay. After all, we have known each other for a while.” Ye Hong thought for a moment, took out two bottles of healing pills and a basket of spiritual fruits from his Qiankun bag, and then comforted her: “Senior sister, just rest assured and recuperate. Your health is the most important thing. Everything else can be taken care of.”

“…Is it really that easy to say?” Liu Ruochen felt uncomfortable listening to him talking without any pain in his waist. He couldn’t help but refute, then paused, turned his head away, and remained silent for a long time. He sobbed a little, lowered his voice, and apologized for his loss of composure again, “I’m sorry, Junior Brother, I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you.”

“It’s okay.” Ye Hong shook his head and didn’t care. To say how much he liked her, that was out of the question, because Senior Sister Liu was actually quite good, not the best woman; but to say how much he hated her, that was not the case either, after all, she had cooked for him before, so he wouldn’t get angry over a few words.

Besides, it is normal for people to be in a bad mood.

These past few days, Liu Ruochen has been feeling miserable and unable to express his pain.

Ever since she obtained the blood-burning fragment of magic skill, she has always regarded it as her trump card, and has been invincible in killing enemies and demons. However, as her cultivation level increased, it became more and more difficult for her to use it, and its disadvantages and consequences have gradually been exposed. She is also trying hard to save the current situation. Now, whenever she thinks of that day, she regrets that she did not fight Li Yuning head-on. If she had fought with real swordsmanship, she might not have lost to her. However, she subconsciously turned to that magic skill for help. However, the magic skill is not reliable. Even if she regrets it now, it is too late to go back.

After losing her position as the chief, her reputation, status, and most importantly, her monthly salary and training resources would be visibly reduced. As a result, it would be even more difficult for her to break through to the Golden Core stage.

In this situation, facing Ye Hong, who was once just an ordinary person and whom she had even secretly humiliated and teased, she felt extremely complicated. She felt that he should not be here. It was because of him that she destroyed everything she could have. If it weren’t for him, Qingyi might have accepted her as her disciple… But, but, there was some rational voice in her heart telling her that this was nothing but anger out of impotence, and that her powerlessness was just a form of self-consolation.

So she couldn’t help but curse in her heart, “Waste, Liu Ruochen you are becoming more and more useless, are you going to never recover from this?”

No wonder Qingyi looked down on you and refused to accept you…

There is a way for you to cultivate yourself to become strong, so that no one dares to let you suffer.

Chapter 151 Casual Talk

How do people become stronger?

One day, I suddenly thought, is this really how my life will be?

This change is usually called awakening or enlightenment.

Sometimes people are so strange. They may think hard but still not understand something, but suddenly they will understand it in a moment of depression, pain, or loss. Although it may be very short-lived, it can change a person’s life forever. Of course, even if you suddenly realize it, you will not become stronger immediately. Enlightenment is just the beginning of becoming stronger.

To reach this state, one cannot escape from hardships and pain.

Because suffering is the catalyst for mental growth.

After Liu Ruochen lost some precious things, he suddenly became indifferent to many things and began to feel that many things that were very important before were no longer important.

For example, her obsession with resources. In the past, she thought that it was impossible to survive without immortal stones on hand. She felt inferior to others because she had no money. She felt insecure. Sometimes she even wanted to break a piece of immortal stone into two pieces to spend. Every resource must be used wisely. But now she feels that the greatest sorrow of being a cultivator is that the person is gone, the immortal stones have not been spent, and all the cards have not been played, and she is making wedding clothes for others!

After realizing this, she felt an indescribable sense of liberation, as if her restricted mind had finally been freed again.

My mood gradually became calm. After all, things had come to this point and worrying any more would not help. Things couldn’t get any worse.

Liu Ruochen said softly: “Junior brother, thank you for coming to see me. I will treat you to a meal when I feel better.”

Ye Hong readily agreed, and then peeled fruit for her while chatting with her. After a while, he said goodbye and left.

After he left, the courtyard became empty again.

Perhaps, life is lonely.

……

After going out, Ye Hong thought for a moment and turned to go to Senior Sister Yu Ning. She lived with her master Xie Chunlin and two elders Xie Fanghua. If he wanted to see her, he had to climb the mountain.

At the inner gate of Hua Sect, there are two peaks rising from the ground, dozens of feet high, long, round and pointed, like two bamboo shoots standing side by side. These are the Shuangsun Peaks, which are also called Shuangshu Peaks because when viewed from the side, they look like a pair of sisters turning their heads to face outwards.

Ye Hong looked at it carefully at this moment, but felt that it was not similar. After all, it was just a far-fetched statement. A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals living there; a river is not famous for its depth, but for the dragons living there. It was named because Xie Chunlin and Xie Fanghua, the “twin sisters” elders, lived here to practice meditation, so they were given this name.

On the way up the mountain, his thoughts drifted far away. He recalled that when he was training in the south not long ago, at the junction of the ancient Chu State and the ancient Yue State, in a place with green mountains and clear waters, there were two very peculiar stone peaks, shaped like a woman’s plump breasts, and were called “Double Breast Peaks” by the local barbarians.

To put it bluntly, now he has seen the “Shuangdiao Peak” again. It is true that when you live long enough, you can see all kinds of strange things.

It is commonly said that a Jiazi period is sixty years, which is considered a small cycle of the solar terms in heaven and earth.

At sixty, one is free from doubts. Having lived over sixty, one has basically seen everything. If one were still in the mundane world, this could be considered a “treasure”. But for a cultivator, life has just begun and there are still many fairies to behold.

Ye Hong thought about it and felt that it was because of the influence of hormones on psychology. Then he thought that his puberty might become unusually long. Normally, boys begin to grow rapidly after the age of ten, and the growth rate slows down around the age of fourteen or fifteen. Around the age of twenty, the epiphyseal line is completely closed. If it were him, after building the foundation, his lifespan increased from one hundred to two hundred years, and after forming the elixir, it added another five hundred years on this basis. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be a full seven hundred years, which corresponds to a much longer puberty.

Why do monks have such a long childhood? Probably because they are fearless.

He climbed up the steep stone steps until he reached the highest palace pavilion.

The Changchun Mountains have their own microclimate, which is completely different from the outside. Not only are the four seasons like spring, but there is also much rain and fog in the mountains. The drizzle washes the air between heaven and earth, and the blooming flowers bring vitality.

Ye Hong paid a visit to Elder Xie Chunlin on this peak. After all, he was a senior who had taken care of him before, so he couldn’t just pass by without paying a visit. He then walked along the shaky suspension bridge between the two peaks to pay a visit to Elder Xie Fanghua on the other peak, and explained his purpose again. The two men looked almost exactly the same, and their words of encouragement were roughly the same, so much so that he had the illusion that he had experienced these things before.

Who will marry them in the future? Twins.

He made some irresponsible assumptions in his mind, and then thought, it’s not me anyway, I am the good crotch.

……

There was a gentle knock on the door. Senior Sister Yuning responded and looked up to see Ye Hong walking in. He closed the door and approached step by step.

He looked at her and she looked at him, and they smiled at each other.

Although they haven’t seen each other for several months, they don’t feel strange. The senior sister takes good care of her and the junior brother tries to get close to her, so naturally their relationship is very harmonious.

Ye Hong bowed and said with a smile, “Senior Sister, are you well?”

“I’m fine.” She also smiled and pulled out a chair, letting him sit next to her, just like treating a friend, and asked him, “Junior brother, why are you here?”

Is there anything you need from your sister?

There was something comforting about smelling the gentle fragrance that came naturally from her body.

He said, congratulations to senior sister for winning the championship.
