Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 743 The Long Road
(The matter of Han Jing has been resolved. If you don’t like it, you can avoid it.)

After talking with everyone for a while, Chen Mu asked, "Why haven't I seen Senior Sister Han Jing?"

Taoist Zhang stroked his beard and smiled, half sighing and half admiringly saying, "Han Jing has a much stronger desire to seek the Tao than the rest of us. Although he has no spiritual objects to help him, he still resolutely went into seclusion two years ago, preparing to break through the realm and form a pill with his own strength..."

Chen Mu frowned and asked hurriedly, "What's the result?"

Using one's own strength to forcefully form a pill, the success rate is less than 30%. If that's all, it's fine. But the worry is that without the protection of a spiritual object, the breakthrough will fail and one will not be able to withstand the backlash of the Tao foundation, thus...

Zhang Laodao shook his head and said with a smile, "Han Jing is not a fool. He wouldn't try anything rashly before he has fully mastered his skills. He may still be refining his realm. If you want to meet him, you can go now."

Chen Mu nodded when he heard that, then stood up and said, "Then I'll go over and take a look."

After leaving the main hall, he took off into the distance and flew straight to the Red Leaf Valley where Han Jing was in seclusion.

In fact, the relationship between him and Han Jing is very delicate.

In the early years, the two of them sought the truth together and helped each other, so Han Jing secretly fell in love with him, but never told him directly.

But Chen Mu is not a blockhead, how could he not feel the girl's deep affection?
He asked himself and found that he also had a good impression of her, but because the truth was in front of him, he also chose not to say it out loud.

This continued until after the Eternal Life Palace disaster, when he went to Fushan Changhe to cultivate, and the matter was left unresolved, never taking that crucial step...

Infatuation is the hardest to repay. After so many decades, if you ask Chen Mu how he plans to deal with this matter, he might only answer: "I will never let you down."

No matter what Han Jing chooses, he will respect her choice...

Chen Mu's escape speed was so fast that before long he saw maple leaves all over the sky in front of him, like burning clouds.

When he flew closer, the true appearance of Red Leaf Valley was revealed.

The decoration and appearance of this valley are completely different from those decades ago.

Decades ago, this was where the female disciples of the mountain sect lived together. However, with the expansion of the mountain sect in recent years, many disciples were moved to the outer mountains, and this place became Han Jing's place alone.

Without the many silver bells and laughter, Chen Mu walked slowly, seeming quite cold and quiet.

Walking along the gravel path, you can vaguely see an exquisite and elegant attic among the red leaves of the trees.

"That hasn't changed..."

Chen Mu's mind was filled with memories. Just as he was about to release his magic power to attract the attention of the people inside, he heard a faint zither sound from somewhere. He listened carefully and felt that the sound was far-reaching and his mind was quiet and clear.

At first, Chen Mu thought that this was the work of an old friend, but after he used his spiritual power to investigate, he discovered that it was a beautiful little girl.

In the outer room, a woman in a long white dress leaned alone on a bench. Surrounded by the sound of the zither, her beautiful silhouette was revealed. She was holding an incense scroll and flipping through a Taoist manual, her brows furrowed slightly from time to time, clearly immersed in it...

Chen Mu took a few glances and released a burst of magic power with a snap of his fingers.

The woman in white finally turned her gaze away from the Daoist book and whispered to the outside, "Is Junior Sister He coming?"

Chen Mu's heart moved slightly, and he smiled unconsciously: "Senior Sister Han, it's an old friend who came to visit."

"An old friend came to visit..."

The voice deep in her heart resurfaced, and Han Jing was startled.

However, he did not show the expected extreme joy or sorrow. Instead, he seemed to suppress his trembling calmly, slowly placed the Taoist book in his hand on the edge of the table, stood up and released the restriction.

The series of movements were extremely smooth, as if they had been rehearsed thousands of times in his mind...

"Chen...Junior Brother Chen..."

But all of this disappeared when he saw Chen Mu's figure clearly.

Han Jing fought back tears, her lips trembling as she smiled and whispered softly, "Junior Brother Chen is back?"

Chen Mu nodded and said, "Senior Sister, it's been a long time."

"It's been a long time since we last met, it's been a long time since we last met..."

Han Jing repeated it, then came to his senses and quickly turned sideways and said, "Junior brother, please come in. You're not polite to me." Chen Mu smiled and followed Han Jing to the inner room and sat down next to the tea table.

Han Jing chuckled and said, "I still remember when Junior Brother first came to my place, he also sat in this seat..."

As she spoke, she picked up the jade pot beside her and poured a cup for Chen Mu, saying, "Junior brother, you came at the right time. I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to finish the spiritual tea I just brewed."

At this time, she had put away her previous attitude, and every word she spoke was accompanied by a smile, making it look like the two of them did not seem like they had not seen each other for decades.

Chen Mu was also pleased with this. After taking the teacup and taking a sip, he praised: "Compared to all the spiritual teas I've tried, this one from Senior Sister is the most to my liking."

Han Jing was delighted when he heard this and said in a clear voice, "If that's the case, then I'll prepare some more for you, so you can drink it from time to time."

However, he could guess that Chen Mu's purpose was that he had no intention of staying in Zhao for long.

Chen Mu's heart moved slightly, and he stood up suddenly without warning.

Han Jing was startled, thinking that he had said something wrong. He stood up and asked, "Junior brother?"

Chen Mu smiled without saying a word. He took a step forward, boldly stretched out his hand, and took the pair of soft hands as white as cream.

Han Jing's whole body suddenly tensed up and she stood there in a daze.

"Since you have such a heart, Senior Sister, why don't you always stay by my side?"

Chen Mu's eyes were as clear as lake water, and he spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Han Jing could no longer hold back. Her body softened and she buried her head in Chen Mu's arms.

Chen Mu embraced her, the woman's fragrance lingering in his arms. He said with a hint of apology: "It's my fault that I made you wait for decades..."

Han Jing's mind was lost for a moment, and she couldn't say anything for a moment. She just hid in Chen Mu's arms, craving care and hugging him tightly, afraid that she would wake up in the next moment.

After a long while, she finally spoke softly, "How could this be Junior Brother's fault? I realized that the gap between us was too big, and I didn't want to drag you down, so I didn't express my feelings..."

The voice was like a warm current, which made Chen Mu feel more tender and caring.

"Let's not talk about the past anymore. From now on, Senior Sister, you can practice with me and we can seek the great path together."

Han Jing was silent for a long time after hearing this, but finally shook his head and said, "Junior brother, if you help me pursue the great Dao, it will delay my own cultivation. This is not my wish."

Chen Mu frowned and was about to say something when he saw the little girl from the inner room running out, cheering, "Master, Master, I've learned it!"

Han Jing's cheeks flushed, and she quickly let go of his hand and stood up straight, pretending to frown and scolding, "How can you be so unbecoming when our master is here? Come and greet Uncle Chen quickly."

The little girl widened her round eyes, looked at Chen Mu curiously, and bowed like an adult, saying, "Lian Xin greets Uncle Master."

Chen Mu smiled and nodded, then turned to Han Jing, wanting to continue persuading her.

However, Han Jing covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Junior brother, please stop trying to persuade me. The road ahead is long. Why are you so insistent on staying with me?"

Chen Mu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. The long road that he often used to preach to others now fell on him.

Han Jing continued, "When my Golden Core is fully developed and I have the opportunity to advance further, even if you don't tell me, I will go to Zhongzhou to find you."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Chen Mu thought for a long time, and finally could only nod in agreement.

The two of them sent the girl Lianxin away and talked for a long time. Chen Mu even took the opportunity to leave many resources to ensure that Han Jing could achieve the golden elixir after he left.

After sorting out the matters, Chen Mufang and Han Jing said goodbye temporarily and strode out of the Red Leaf Valley.

After he left, Red Leaf Valley returned to its former tranquility. The only change was that inspiration began to flow here.

That is a sign of the impending formation of the elixir...
