ninety thousand miles

Chapter 438 Rest
For the next three days, Li Chuan stayed in the house.

Wen Guying would come once a day and chat with him for a while.

On the second day, Wen Guying met Gong Er Pang San. The two little demons saw Wen Guying and felt like they had seen a savior. They poured out all their questions. However, Wen Guying did not tell the two little demons what he said to Li Chuan. He just said that practicing "Chu Yang Pu" requires perseverance and patience.

Li Chuan understood Wen Guying's intention, so he took advantage of Wen Guying's absence to say to Gong Er and Pang San: "Second brother and third brother, we three brothers, in terms of talent and understanding, can't become immortals. Since this "Chu Yang Pu" does not require a strong foundation, it must have requirements in other areas, such as spending more time and suffering more. What others can achieve in ten years will take you a hundred or a thousand years."

Seeing that Gong Er looked hesitant, he added, "Your goal is to become an immortal. It's not about beating this person today and suppressing that person tomorrow. When you look back thousands or tens of thousands of years later, the past few years and decades will be nothing more than a moment."

Gong Er said: "Yes... After I become the Great Emperor of the Pleiades, who cares how many years it took me to become an immortal?"

Li Chuan was silent. He didn't expect Gong Er still remembered to become Emperor Pleiades.

He added, "Moreover, if you rely on accumulating contribution points to learn a mid-level technique, it would take you at least several decades or even hundreds of years. Now that Master Wen has passed it on to you directly, how much time will this save?"

Pang San immediately said, "Second brother, I'm going to continue my retreat. Are you coming?"

"Go!" Gong Er made up his mind and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I won't come out of seclusion until I have mastered something this time!"

After Gong Er Pang San went into seclusion, Li Chuan also took advantage of his good spirits to find a pen and paper and wrote down his thoughts of the past few days. After writing, he remembered the information revealed in the conversation between the three masters of the Four Heavenly Mysteries.

I can’t contact the immortals from the same sect anymore.

San Gu Qi Zhen did not respond either.

He couldn't help but take out the jade talisman given by Immortal Yun Yi, held it in his hand, and after exerting a little force, he let go and put it back into the Zuihong Ring.

The three masters all seem to be quite calm, so let's wait a little longer.

On the third day, Mu Ling also came. Mu Ling was very happy to see Wen Guying there. After the two chatted for a while, Wen Guying took out the wine. Seeing this, Mu Ling found a few dishes. The two looked at each other and found each other very pleasing to the eye.

Li Chuan kept the old palace master's teachings in mind. He watched them drink, held a cup of hot tea on the side, and listened to them talk about everything from Ganyu Gorge to sword formations and swordsmanship, and to many interesting things in Xuanmen.

He listened with great interest, occasionally interrupting to ask questions, and felt that he had learned a lot. But gradually he became sleepy and finally fell asleep while sitting.

Wen Guying glanced in the direction of Li Chuan, and the teacup that slipped from his hand returned to the table without spilling a drop of water.

Mu Ling listened to Li Chuan's snoring and said in confusion: "Isn't he drinking tea?"

"Too tired." Wen Guying replied: "The tattoo scripture and sword formation are not something that ordinary people can read. He did it reluctantly. He himself did not realize that he was actually in a state of overdraft. So his body has never been well maintained."

He looked at Li Chuan again and said, "Let him sleep, and we will continue."

"Brother Wen, do you also think that the early appearance of the magic sword was caused by someone's manipulation?" Mu Ling asked.

"That's right," Wen Guying replied, "and I think it's directed at me."

"Do you know who it is?" Mu Ling asked.

"I have a rough idea of ​​what's going on." Wen Guying asked, "Do you think the incident in Cangwu Wilderness is also related to that group of people?"

"That's right," Mu Ling admitted. He said, "Although there is no evidence yet, I feel that there must be a connection between these two things. Also, when I came out this time, my master told me to concentrate on learning the sword formation and ignore other things. Maybe the master also noticed something... I actually really want to see the disciples of your three sects compete with each other."

"Let's go and see what's going on," Wen Guying said as he untied the Tianqi Sword and handed it to Mu Ling, saying, "You've seen the Divine Sword. How do you think this sword compares to the Divine Sword?"

Mu Ling took the sword and after a careful inspection, he pulled it out of the scabbard. After seeing the cracks, he exclaimed "Ah", then looked at Wen Guying and said: "No wonder, no wonder, it's incredible..."...

After Li Chuan woke up, he found it was pitch black around him. He found himself sleeping in bed. He couldn't tell whether this was a dream or the previous chat with Wen Mu.

He closed his eyes, thinking that he might as well take another nap, so that he could go to Jinyang Peak when he woke up. But he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.

The imperial court should have already been encircling Lanshan Pavilion. King Baoxing is dead, so the demon extermination should be smooth this time. Then I started to worry whether a demon would escape. I thought Zhuo Erniang might have given birth. Then I thought of Wukong. I wondered where he was...

The more chaotic thoughts came to him, the clearer he became. Li Chuan reluctantly stood up and wanted to go out for a walk. As soon as he stepped out of the house, he turned back.

He didn't want to continue looking at the night and falling into illusion again, or any more complications.

So he sat down at the desk, lit the lamp, and wrote down several ideas for refining the "full moon". Finally, his heart calmed down again. Unconsciously, the sky began to lighten slightly. He yawned, put down his pen, went to bed and fell asleep again.

He slept until noon, and Wen Guying came to call him.

On the way to Jinyang Peak, Wen Guying told Li Chuan: "We have also made some arrangements over at Guiyin Cave. If the demon spirit doesn't come here but goes over there to meet the half-demon woman, there is no need to worry."

"What if the evil spirits don't show up on either side?" Li Chuan asked.

"That's normal," Wen Guying said, "As long as you put enough bait and are patient, she will eventually take the bait."

They took the teleportation array to the foot of Jinyang Peak.

Li Chuan asked Wen Guying: "Do you still have the wood chip we had when we first came here?"

"What? Haven't you been here many times?" Wen Guying asked as he took out the wood chip and handed it to Li Chuan.

Li Chuan held it in his mouth, his mouth full of bitterness, but at the same time he became more sober. He said, "One more preparation, one more insurance."

"Indeed." Wen Guying said, "Let's go up and take a look at the scenery. Perhaps you will gain more insights."

"Okay." Li Chuan said.

When the two reached the top of the mountain, the old palace master was already there. He was sitting calmly as before, with Li Chuan's iron pot in front of him.

"You're here." The old palace master opened his eyes.

Hearing the old palace master's words, Li Chuan's heart suddenly calmed down. He walked to the other side of the iron pot and sat down. He took out the Tianyin pot, put the butterfly spirit aside, and went to look at the "full moon" in the pot.

The moonlight ripples on the water.

The old palace master saw the butterfly spirit and asked, "Are you going to melt the 'full moon' into it?"

Li Chuan replied: "Well, I think maybe it's possible."

He said: "Elder Mi told me that the sword formation is driven by the heart. I still don't quite understand how to use the heart, but this butterfly spirit was dug out from the heart, maybe it can match."

The old palace master said: "Very interesting."
