Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 121 Crisis Coexistence
Shen Mo looked at Su Yi and asked, "Have you ever heard of a sect like the 'Netherworld Palace'?"

"Netherworld Palace?" It seems that this is the name of the so-called mysterious sect. Su Yi shook his head and replied: "Sir, Su Yi has never heard of this sect."

Shen Mo nodded after hearing this and said: "This 'Netherworld Palace' is very mysterious. Not many people in the world of cultivation know about this sect. It's normal that you don't know."

"Sir, what kind of sect is this 'Netherworld Palace', and why can they refine this half-finished scapegoat?" Su Yi asked the master, pointing to the scapegoat puppet on the table.

After Shen Mo pondered for a moment, he continued: "My knowledge about this 'Netherworld Palace' is very limited, because not only does this sect have no territory, it even appears intermittently, often for hundreds of years. The shadow trace only appeared, and disappeared mysteriously after a while, but..."

Shen Mo paused for a moment, "But every time it appears, it means something big is going to happen in this world, usually a bloodshed. This time the 'Netherworld Palace' reappears. It seems that this disaster in the north is... It’s inevitable.”

When Su Yi heard his master say that the "Netherworld Palace" was somehow related to the "Great Tribulation" mentioned by Shui Qiuyue, his interest greatly increased, and he asked the master tentatively: "Sir, this 'Netherworld Palace' and the 'Great Tribulation' 'Does it have anything to do with a small repairman like me?"

Shen Mo didn't know what Su Yi was thinking. He wanted to find out the truth and decide whether to stay or go.

Of course, with his status, he would not deceive Su Yi. Although he wanted to let him participate, he still respected Su Yi's opinion, so he told the truth and said: "When the disaster occurs, the entire Northland will be covered. , all the Northerners will be included, and you and I will naturally be no exception."

Su Yi's eyes moved slightly when he heard this. He had something in his mind but couldn't say it directly. If he followed his wishes, since the whole of the Northland would be covered by the catastrophe, we should escape south as soon as possible. If that doesn't work, we could go to Zhongzhou. Mr. Bian should be safe now.

Although Su Yi didn't say it, Shen Mo could guess what he meant, but he still wanted to try to fight for it.

"Su Yi, I can guess a thing or two about what you are thinking. To be honest, what you are thinking about is also human nature. As the saying goes, 'A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.' When the northern border is about to be robbed, far away Escaping from here is also a good strategy."

"But have you ever heard that there is a 'crisis' in this world? When danger comes, it will be accompanied by huge opportunities. For example, this disaster in the north, although it is very likely to cause loss of life, But if there is an opportunity, it may not be incapable of benefiting the individual."

Su Yi understood the meaning of the master's words. It seemed that the old man intended to bring this opportunity to his head. Even the master thought it was a big opportunity, so it must be very great.

But what Su Yi considers is that this opportunity comes with a great calamity. If you want to get this opportunity, it is like dancing on the tip of a knife and catching millet from fire, and you may die.

He has a golden finger, so there is no need to take such risks, but he can't say this clearly, because he has now seen that the master is manipulating some big things, and it is obvious that he is also likely to become the master. As part of the plan, if he chooses to leave at this time, will it leave the impression of betrayal on Master?

Seeing Su Yi's silence, Shen Mo said with a smile: "You don't have to take things too seriously. I don't have to keep you here. I just feel that this opportunity is suitable for you, so I said this. And Now that you have the 'glazed robe' with you, Shui Qiuyue can no longer stop you. If you want to leave, you can leave here at any time, and I will not stop you."

"But since you are going to stay in Ruyi at this time, why don't you choose to stay here and see the situation before making a decision? You must know that our practice is to compete with heaven for results. It is impossible to practice to a high level safely and peacefully. , If you don’t fight for this opportunity, and if you don’t fight for another opportunity next time, then when will you be able to achieve great success?”

Shen Mo's words really speak to Su Yi's heart. To be honest, Su Yi is not willing to be ordinary. It is worth fighting for a great opportunity. Besides, the master also asked him to stay Ruyi, so why not be here? Wait and see.

What's more, he is now just a chess piece in front of a group of powerful people. To put it bluntly, he is no different from Hu Biao in front of Bai Xiu. It is obvious that a chess piece cannot control its own destiny. If you want to control your destiny, , only by becoming stronger and becoming a chess player, otherwise it will be difficult to escape from the hands of the powerful.Thinking of this, Su Yi became determined, looked at the master and asked: "Sir, Su Yi knows that his cultivation level is low, but if you can be of use to me, sir, please just give me my instructions. Su Yi will do his best to complete it."

Seeing this, Shen Mo smiled and said: "You don't have to be so serious about what you said. That opportunity is just the beginning. Whether you want the opportunity or you really want to do something for me, there is no need to rush now. At present, you Just practice as usual."

Su Yi's face turned red after hearing this. He thought that his cultivation level was too low. Even if Mr. Shen wanted to use him, it would be difficult for him to contribute at the moment.

Shen Mo continued: "As for the Netherworld Palace, you don't have to worry about it. As long as I am here, Yama will not dare to attack you. But in the future, when you are fighting against the enemy, if you find something on the other side, If you use magic weapons such as 'soul flags', you must be more careful and don't let the ghost harm your magic body and soul. It's best to do your best when you take action."

Su Yi didn't know who the "Yam Luo" the master mentioned was, but he thought he was not an easy person to get along with. As for the "soul flag" magic weapon, Su Yi knew that it was usually refined with "souls" and extracted souls. The soul is the most sinister, and the more advanced the soul is, the more effective the soul flags made from it will be.

However, he is proficient in the use of fire, and "fire", "thunder" and other powerful spells are the nemesis of "ghosts and ghosts". From this aspect, he is born with an advantage, so he does not need to be too Too worried.

Su Yi was about to ask his master who "Yan Luo" was, when his master said again: "Su Yi, I think you should go to the Luoxia Sect as soon as possible, and use its power to gather the materials as soon as possible to refine the 'Lihuo Jiufang' Flag', so that you can protect yourself more."

Su Yi naturally wanted this. With the support of the master, he was not timid even if he went to the Luoxia Sect, so he decided to go to the Luoxia Sect tomorrow.

After hearing this, Shen Mo nodded in agreement. The master and apprentice chatted some more, and then Su Yi resigned and left the Shenji Pavilion.

After returning home, Su Yi went through everything he had experienced today in his mind.

This is also a rule he has set for himself, so that he is afraid of any omissions in what he has done, and if there are any omissions, he can make up for them as soon as possible.

There is nothing to say about killing Boss Hu and a group of people named Zhu today. Those people were seeking their own death. Besides, they were just trash, so they were killed.

When he met Bai Xiu later, there should be no mistakes or omissions. However, the last words he said when leaving, "I would like to thank him again", made Su Yi a little confused as to what he meant.

Su Yi thought for a long time and finally figured out some clues. Could it be that Bai Xiu was thanking him for accepting Bai Lan as his disciple?
It's just that this conclusion is completely based on Su Yi's speculation, and it is still a speculation. The premise is based on the fact that Bai Xiu and Bai Lan are related to the insect demon, so this conclusion is not accurate.

Of course, this matter itself had little to do with Su Yi, so he was not troubled by it and just gave it a brief thought.

After that, Su Yi recalled what happened when he met with the master, and found that there were basically no omissions, so he felt relieved and didn't think too much about it.

Then he opened a furnace and refined several furnaces of elixirs. After feeding the fire-eating flying ants, he devoted himself to practicing the techniques.
