Chapter 397 Can't Join

The battle between Zhou Shu and Yue Hongyan shocked Ling Yucheng.

Previously, Zhou Shu showed a level far beyond that of the pulse condensing realm cultivators, but many Lingyucheng cultivators believed that the ultimate reason was the ultimate magic weapon. But when facing a comprehensive Jindan cultivator, the superiority of the ultimate magic weapon is no longer obvious, and the strength of the cultivator himself is the decisive factor. At that time, Zhou Shuxiu's weakness will be exposed, and the chance of winning the golden elixir is very small, not to mention that he is facing a golden elixir master like Yue Hongyan.

However, the reality let them know that they were wrong. In this battle, they saw clearly that Zhou Shu himself had the strength not to be inferior to the Golden Core Realm, at least in a short period of time, and he could only reach the Golden Core Realm level. Only in this way can we really make good use of the best magic weapon, give full play to our advantages, and defeat the same Jindan practitioners.

From now on, Zhou Shu will no longer be the same in the eyes of the cultivators of Lingyu City. Even if Zhou Shu is only in the Pulse Condensation Realm, they will take Zhou Shu seriously as the Golden Core Realm.

The last cultivator like this was Zhao Yige, a son of a family, a real genius who built the building in the sea.

For a while, Lingyu City was full of discussions about Zhou Shu, rumors continued, and many forces moved on hearing the news, trying to win over a talent like Zhou Shu.

The building in the sea, the top floor.

Zhao Yige pointed to a pile of things in front of him, and said to Zhou Shu, "Fellow Shu, these are gifts from others to Haizhonglou, and they were all given to you by name. They were going to Liuxiazong to find you, but they were all sent to you by Liuxiazong. The cultivator blocked it back and couldn't get in."

Zhou Shu nodded, "Thank you, landlord."

He could feel that Liuxia Sect's defense had been strengthened a lot, especially near Yanyun Valley, only the disciples of Liuxia Sect could come to him, other cultivators couldn't get in at all, not even Keqing.

It seems that it has become a key protected animal.

He opened a jade box that was sealed extremely tightly by the spirit-locking array, and a refreshing aura immediately radiated out. Inside was a snow-white lotus flower, clean and clear. The most peculiar thing was that there was a heart-shaped emerald green lotus seed in the center of the lotus flower. Fluorescent, you can tell it's not a mortal thing at a glance.

"This is the Jade Lotus Seed of Spiritual Heart, a spiritual item that many Jindan cultivators dream of. After taking it, it can nourish the cultivator's soul and is of great benefit to the alchemy. Even I have never seen it before. A few."

Zhao Yige had a trace of envy on his face, "This is sent by the Hongye Sect. They want to invite fellow Taoists to be the elders of Keqing. The condition is that the fellow daoists can open it, and the treatment is guaranteed to be several times better than that of the Liuxia Sect."

Zhou Shu put it down calmly, noncommittal, and picked up another jade box.

"This item is also unusual. It's called the Iron Bone Pill, and it was sent by the Gushan Gate. I also invited fellow Taoists to be the guest of Elder Qing. The Iron Bone Pill is the unique medicine of the Gushan Gate. It uses iron bone spines and a variety of rare spirits. It is refined from natural materials, and less than a hundred pills are produced each year. It can greatly enhance the physique of the cultivator, and the benefits to the practitioners of body refining are self-evident. Able to be as solid as a rock, unafraid of low-level swords."

Zhao Yige was well-informed and immediately introduced.

Zhou Shuduo took a few glances, but still put it down, looking away, most of the gifts from other forces were also extraordinary, but not as good as those from the Red Leaf Sect and the Backer Sect.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Shu?"

Zhou Shu shook his head slightly, "I'm not interested, please ask the landlord to return it for me."

Although the elder Keqing doesn't have to control anything in the sect, there are no restrictions. For example, many Jindan cultivators are Keqing who are members of several sects. Basically, as long as they don't harm the sect they join, it is estimated that Hongye Zong thought so too.

However, Zhou Shu didn't think so. The more sects he joined, there would always be more things to do. If he became the elder of the Hongye Sect, and some cultivators of the Hongye Sect hindered him, no matter what Zhou Shu did, there would always be some troubles. It is better to be unrestrained than to be hindered.

The current state is very good, and he doesn't want to change anything.

What's more, these things are just good, and they are not enough to impress him.

"not interested."

Zhao Yige clapped his palms and smiled, "What Fellow Daoist Shu said is exactly what I thought. I told the cultivators who gave gifts before that Fellow Daoist Shu would not accept them, and they wanted to stay. After asking, I will talk about it. Now look at it, it is just as it should be." .”

Zhou Shu smiled, "The landlord really understands me."

Zhao Yige's expression changed slightly, he sighed, and looked at Zhou Shudao solemnly, "Friend Shu, there are some things I want to say again, this is the seventeenth time I've said it this month, I don't know if you are still willing to listen?"

Zhou Shu also became more solemn, "Please tell me, the landlord."

Zhao Yige looked directly at Zhou Shu, and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist, are you interested in joining Haizhonglou? The conditions I give may not be as good as these sects, but I can give fellow Daoists a guarantee that when Haizhonglou is truly independent from the Zhao family At that time, you and I were both landlords, no difference."

Zhou Shu was startled when he heard the sound, and then began to think seriously.

Such a promise, coming from Zhao Yige's mouth, is really rare, and he never thought of it.

After a while, he still shook his head, "Sorry, landlord, I still can't agree."

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work..."

Zhao Yige smiled slightly, only with a bit of bitterness in his smile, "It's not surprising, fellow Daoist Shu is so talented, but in just one month, he earns as much spiritual stones as Shanghai Zhonglou has worked hard for five years, so how can he see Shanghai Zhonglou?"

Zhou Shu shook his head seriously, "It has nothing to do with these, sir."

"What does that have to do with it? I have asked fellow daoists more than a dozen times, but you are always evasive, and I really don't understand."

Zhao Yige's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if stabbing with a sharp knife.

Zhou Shu remained calm, "The landlord would like to hear the truth or lies."

Zhao Yige pressed on step by step, "The truth."

"Then let me explain the reason seriously."

Zhou Shu smiled lightly and said slowly, "Cultivators should put their heart first and stick to their heart at all times, but the process of cultivation is extremely difficult, and they will experience countless obstacles and fetters. The heart is tested all the time. How many practitioners Can you really stick to your original heart in practice?"

"I have seen too many cultivators who have to violate their original intentions because of obstacles and fetters. For example, the elders of the sect masters of small sects, in order to protect the sect's thousand-year heritage and the fetters of disciples, he had to give up when powerful enemies invaded. To protect them with his life, does his heart want him to explode his golden core, of course not, but he still did it, and he had to do it.”

"It's also like a cultivator in the family. When obstacles come, she can even give up herself for the sake of the family's existence. Then where is her original heart? Is it possible to stick to her original heart?"

"... There are many more examples like this, too many to describe. They may not be true cultivators who stick to their original intentions, but they are still very good cultivators."

"Yes, they are."

Zhao Yige pondered slightly, "Every cultivator has to face fetters and obstacles, many of them are even born with it, which cannot be avoided, and cultivator practice is actually a process of gradually cutting off fetters and breaking obstacles. In the process, the cultivator's original heart will become more and more firm. Their abilities are not up to the mark, and they want to have both, but the result is a dilemma, so it seems tragic. However, what does this have to do with fellow Taoists joining Haizhonglou .”

He was a little puzzled, why Zhou Shu would say this.

"The landlord sees it very clearly, but it has a lot to do with it."

Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "Joining Haizhonglou, I don't know what kind of obstacles and fetters I will encounter, but no matter how I look at it, those are not something I can afford now, so I can't join now."

Zhou Shu is a cultivator who has always insisted on his original heart.

He came here through time travel, but in the process of cultivation, there are also such and other fetters and obstacles. Facing the fetters, he will try his best to protect them, and he will defeat the obstacles without hesitation. These cannot be escaped, they are all necessary What you want to do is for the sake of your heart, and you can't change it.

But what he can change is to make a good choice before the fetters and obstacles appear, try not to get involved in too many fetters and obstacles, and try not to let himself fall into a dilemma.

The so-called dilemma is to follow the original intention and have to go against the original intention.

To Zhou Shu, joining Haizhonglou was obviously a situation that might put him in a dilemma.
