Chapter 784: Luo Tian’s Past, and Understanding the Rise and Fall Of

The Gu worm was spread from the southern border.

In the world of immortal cultivation, people are terrified when they hear about it and shudder when they see it.

But this is only for the casual cultivators who have little knowledge.

For people like Luo Chen who have a high realm and broad knowledge, they naturally understand that the world has never distinguished between good and evil, but only between useful and useless.

At least, as far as he knows, many Gu worms can play a good auxiliary role in cultivation for normal cultivators.

For example, there is a first-level Gu worm called Moonlight Gu.

Although the grade is not high, the effect is extremely magical, which can guide the Qi and open the meridians.

Some people who have spiritual roots but are born with blocked meridians can break the shackles and practice normal Qi refining by refining this Gu.

Even those who are born with unobstructed meridians are not reluctant to refine a Moonlight Gu to assist their own Qi refining under the conditions.

In Zhongzhou, Tianyuan Dao Sect once bought Moonlight Gu from the southern border on a large scale, until the southern border became more and more closed, and the transaction in this regard gradually stopped.

It can be said that the Moonlight Gu, which was once widely circulated, also played a big role in the fact that there were so many cultivators in Zhongzhou.

And the Moonlight Gu is just one of the many strange Gu.

The Lingxi Gu planted on Luo Chen and Sima Hui Niang is also one of them, and it has a bigger origin.

According to rumors, it is a simplified version of a fifth-level Gu worm that lives and dies together long ago!

It is an extreme Gu worm that can bind the God-transforming Great Power and the Qi-refining cultivator together and live and die together.

However, with the changes in the world, the name of the Life and Death Gu has gradually become less known, and another transformation route of the Lingxi Gu has once set off a great storm in the Southern Xinjiang Immortal Cultivation World.

The third-level Demon Gu, the Demon Heart Gu!

There are crazy people who refine a large number of Demon Heart Gu and plant them on low-level cultivators, and then when they mature, they use the magic of the Gu worm to devour their cultivation realm!

It was because of this incident that the Devil Heart Gu was completely suppressed, and Lingxi Gu gradually became less common.

At that time, Luo Chen was going on a "long journey". In order to avoid losing contact, he carefully checked the Lingxi Gu and confirmed that there was no problem before planting it in Sima Hui Niang.

Facts have proved that the "heart-to-heart" effect of Lingxi Gu has indeed brought many benefits.

Whether it was the two years when Luo Chen was trapped in the Baiye Cave Mansion on the battlefield of Jilei Mountain, or the three years of imprisonment in Cangwu Mountain, or the hundred years of wandering in the North Sea, the existence of Lingxi Gu allowed Sima Hui Niang to maintain enough confidence.

Waiting for his return!

If there was no such confidence, Luo Tianzong might have collapsed long ago. A few cultivators without the blessing of the sect might be favored and absorbed by the big sect because of their outstanding talents, but most mediocre people are more likely to gradually disappear in the vast world of immortal cultivation.

Not everyone can be like Luo Chen, wandering and practicing, and still get better and better.

Later, as Luo Chen went to the Land of Demons, his body was reborn, and the Lingxi Gu and his magic power disappeared. Luo Chen was worried about Sima Hui Niang's situation.

So he bought a bunch of low-level Gu worms in the Wanxiang Building in Shenyuan City, Beihai, for research.

After he went to Zhongzhou and the Cave Heaven Competition was over, Tianshan Zhenren from Southern Xinjiang also chatted with him, and he took the opportunity to ask about the Lingxi Gu.

Whether it was the results of his own research or the evaluation of the Gu Dao masters, there was no big problem with the Lingxi Gu.

This is why Luo Chen thought that it would not be too troublesome to solve Sima Hui Niang's injuries.

But at this moment!

There was a change!

Under Luo Chen's observation, the golden elixir condensed by the Lingxi Gu in Hui Niang's body was like a living thing, involving the heart and even the sea of ​​consciousness!

This is why Luo Chen said that "Lingxi connects the heart and the gods".

Because of these two connections, Luo Chen did not dare to forcibly erase it.

Once it is wiped out, not only will the heart break, but the soul will also be annihilated at the same time.

"No wonder Caiyi said before that Hui Niang's body has changed. This is caused by the absorption of the heart blood by the Lingxi Gu. And the pain that even Jindan cultivators can't suppress has been reduced a lot after practicing "Ming Shen Po Sha". Obviously, it has also enhanced the endurance of the soul, so it can barely withstand the devouring of the soul."

"But how did this happen?"

Luo Chen wanted to ask Chu Kui if there were any other hidden dangers when he gave the pair of Gu worms?

But this idea was dispelled as soon as it came up.

Chu Kui is a person. If there were any hidden dangers, he would have said it long ago.

And whether it was the previous two hundred years, or his own research, the views of Tianshan Zhenren all said that Lingxi Gu was fine.

"Then the problem can only be Hui Niang and... me."

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a drop of blood appeared on his fingertips for no reason.

Lingxi Gu uses blood essence to refine, and takes the daily circulating blood energy as food. Except for the time of refining, it will not affect the daily practice of the cultivator.

And his blood of Luo Chen...

On the fingertips, the blood is crystal clear, exuding an extremely vigorous vitality.

Even if he has not understood the changes of blood and energy, this drop of blood of Luo Chen is no less than the blood that Wang Yuan has refined thousands of times.

Lingxi Gu absorbs such things, and grows from the first level to the third level little by little.

"My blood..."

"Blood Nightmare Demon Luo once said that Yuan Tu Sword likes my blood very much."

"The Black King also said that he likes to rely on me because the vigorous blood and energy I exude will make him feel very comfortable."

"The Spiritual Rhinoceros Gu was soaked in my blood day and night, so that I got used to it, ignored it, and forgot how much it had grown. When I reached nirvana, the Spiritual Rhinoceros Gu was broken, but it also carried My magic power revived in Huiniang’s body and condensed into golden elixir.”

"But the host at this moment is no longer me, who is physically strong, but replaced by the weak Hui Niang. That's why it will devour the heart and soul in order to continue to grow!"

Somehow, Luo Chen figured everything out.

As he murmured in his heart, his fingers fell on the lips of the sleeping woman next to him.

The drop of blood that was squeezed out immediately stained the pale thin lips.

Under the surveillance of his spiritual consciousness, within the Qi Sea, the Golden Core trembled slightly, but was restrained by the restrictions laid down by Luo Chen.

Luo Chen released the restraint at the right time, and then saw a force of magic that swept away the drop of blood.

Golden elixir, the blood color is darker!

The woman's beautiful eyebrows were completely stretched out!

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen opened his mouth and finally sighed.

"It was my negligence after all."

…

"Zhou Yuanli fell in Xiaoyue Mountains when the demon tide broke out."

"Bai Meiling's soul disappeared on the way to escape."

"Xing Zonghan forced himself to practice the "Miscellaneous Elements Technique" and became obsessed with it. His moral conduct was greatly damaged. During the retreat of the whole sect, he took the initiative to choose to cut off his family. He did not know whether he would live or die."

"The rice grains and their koji wine have been in the sect for ten years, and they eventually hated Jiuquan."

"Duan Feng and his wife, because they were good at identifying ores, were ordered to go there by Jin Ling, the Divine Sect of the Five Elements, during the support battle at Liangyi Xilin in the Wuji Domain. They fell there and left no heirs."

"Xu Huanzhen died on the Santuchuan battlefield."

"The supreme elder of the Luoyun Sect disappeared, the Xiaoyue Mountain Range was destroyed, and a large number of disciples died. In addition, in order to break through the Nascent Soul realm in the early years, Han Zhan occupied too many interests of the Luoyun Sect. Once the opening war failed, the Luoyun Sect internally changed. In order to seize power, the Luoyun Sect was divided into three factions. The leader's line, Han Zhan's grandson Han Zheng's line, and the great elder Cheng Yan's line who had been left behind in Tianguyuan fought against each other, resulting in casualties. Countless. Qin Yuanjiang, who belonged to the lineage of the leader, his Taoist companion Ruan Huan'er died in an internal fight, and his mother Murong Qinglian was seriously injured. Qin Yuanjiang was disheartened and took his mother to Luo Tianzong. "

"Murong Qinglian died in Luotian Sect."

…

The fallen leaves are flying and the wind is whining.

Luo Chen sat on the small stone platform outside Huiniang's cave, looking at the "Luo Tian Minutes" written by Luo Tianzong over the years.

This material was written when Luo Tianzong was still Luo Tianhui.

It has always been divided into three parts. One part is kept in the Sutra Pavilion, one part is carried by the contemporary sect leader, and one part is held by Luo Chen.

Luo Chen's share had stopped a hundred years ago.

What we are looking at now was sent by someone from Yao Mingyue.

On it, there are not many records about what happened outside the sect, and most of them are major changes within the Luotian Sect.

What Luo Chen focused on were the names that were both familiar and unfamiliar.

Since arriving at Baili Qingchuan, his consciousness has swept through the area and found the auras of many old acquaintances, but there are also more auras that are not there.

At this time, Luo Chen had actually been mentally prepared for what it would mean to not stay in the sect.

But when I really saw the contents of "Luo Tian Ji", I still tightened my mouth, gritted my teeth, and my eyebrows couldn't help beating.

He didn't know what he was feeling.

Pity? sad? Or painful?

Or is there still anger?

Angry at the invasion of monsters, angry at the conflict between various forces, angry at the Five Elements Divine Sect for not treating Luo Tian's disciples as human beings, angry at the Luoyun Sect's infighting that resulted in the death of a respected friend.

Even angry at his own inaction!

A coercion, like the pressure before the birth of thunder, loomed over him.

Plop!

Xu Xiaoliu, who was responsible for delivering the books, was too close and couldn't bear the pressure and fell to his knees.

"well……"

The white-haired Xu Xiaoliu heard a sigh in his ears, and then he felt the pressure that was like the power of heaven dissipate.

He raised his head cautiously.

"Xiao Liuzi, you are still so naughty. They are all dead, but you are still alive."

Xu Xiaoliu was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Then I saw the young man laughing at himself and saying to himself: "That's right, only slick people like you and me can be as resilient as loaches and worms everywhere."

Xu Xiaoliu felt relieved and said in an old voice: "How can the Supreme Elder be the same as Xiao Liuzi? I am just a mayfly hanging on in the sea, but you are like the bright moon in the blue sky. No matter how rain or wind blows, you will not lose half of your color." ”

"You, at your age, are still as good at flattering as you were back then."

Luo Chen smiled and fired a burst of magic power.

He held the white-haired Xu Xiaoliu and sat on the stone chair opposite him.

Xu Xiaoliu put his hands on his knees and sat upright. The man opposite him was as young as before, and his attitude towards others was as fresh as spring breeze.

It seems like nothing has changed, and it seems like everything has changed.

However, no one has called him Xiaoliuzi for many years, and he actually feels particularly cordial.

"Xiao Liuzi, tell me about the current situation in the sect!"

"Um."

Perhaps because of Luo Chen's peaceful attitude, Xu Xiaoliu relaxed a lot and explained the current situation of Luo Tianzong.

"Our sect now has three hundred members, including more than two hundred Qi Refining monks and mortals, and about thirty foundation-building people. However, the number of Golden elixir monks is exceptionally large, with nine Golden elixir masters!"

"The nine great golden elixirs are the old sect master Sima, Elder Fu Jiusheng, Elder Chu Kui, Elder Gu Caiyi, Elder Min Longyu, Elder Li Yingzhang, Elder Yang Pingdu, and Elder Qin Yuanjiang."

Although Wang Yuan and Sha Longzi have the combat power of golden elixir, they are not golden elixir cultivators strictly speaking.

They are body cultivators.

But!

Luo Chen was curious, "Aren't there only eight?"

Xu Xiaoliu said somewhat unnaturally: "If Sima Wenjie is counted, it will be nine."

Luo Chen said, "Oh," and motioned him to continue.

In his heart, he was sighing that he had deliberately left behind the "Micro Dust Yuanshu" and asked Wang Yuan to research a simplified version. He was right.

If there was no all-encompassing "Micro Dust Yuanshu", how could the small Luotian Sect have produced so many golden elixir cultivators.

Among the nine people, Sima Hui Niang is needless to say.

Fu Jiusheng and Chu Kui formed the elixir first, Gu Caiyi used the Mingyuan elixir he left behind to successfully break through, and Li Yingzhang made great progress after years of accumulation.

Qin Yuanjiang inherited the legacy of Luoyun Sect and successfully formed the elixir, and Min Longyu got the help of Qu Lingjun and relied on the formation to form the elixir by chance.

The only stranger was Yang Pingdu!

This person was the son of Yang Wenchang, the leader of Wanxiang Sect, who was assassinated by the Fifth Wonder during the opening war.

In order to leave a handle to clamp the Fifth Wonder, Luo Chen forced the disciples of Wanxiang Sect to stay.

Later, Zong Jiulang, the eldest brother of Wanxiang Sect, died on the battlefield of Tianguyuan.

Yang Pingdu became the leader of Wanxiang Sect.

After the monster tide broke out, in order to preserve the sect, Yang Pingdu led a group of disciples to join Luotian Sect completely, and worked hard in many subsequent battles.

In order to reward him and to unite people, Sima Huiniang gave Yang Pingdu the Mingyuan elixir she saved after she successfully formed the elixir.

He succeeded!

Sima Wenjie also rebelled because of this incident!

He joined others, got help from Yuanying Zhenren, successfully formed a pill, and then took outsiders to try to seize Luotian Sect.

It was a messy account, which was not clear and could not be understood. Xu Xiaoliu's nagging voice was in his ears.

"Among the younger generation, Qin Yuanjiang and Zeng Yilong are naturally the most competitive, but the others are not bad either."

"Mei Ruoqi, Yuan Yijun, Qu Jiu and others are gradually showing their talents. Su E is dead, but her disciple Su Wen inherited the medical heritage. After Qu Lingjun left, Qi Yi took up the banner of alchemy in Luotian Sect. It was because of the many foundation-building spiritual medicines he refined that the foundation-building true cultivators of our sect emerged one after another..."

When Luo Chen heard the name Qi Yi, he showed a thoughtful expression.

This was an alchemist he personally recruited in his early years, and he was also a disciple of the enemy!

Remember at that time, was he recruited together with his senior brother or junior brother?

His talent for alchemy is beyond doubt.

But refining many foundation-building spiritual medicines?

Could it be Emperor Liujiang?

But he only passed this recipe to Qu Lingjun.

Could it be that Qu Lingjun secretly taught it before he left?

If so, it makes sense.

In the war between humans and monsters, the most abundant thing is the corpses of various monsters. Refining a large amount of Emperor Liujiang with this can indeed keep the foundation-building true cultivation of Luotian Sect continuous.

In this way, his only disciple is indeed loyal to the sect and has considered all aspects.

"There is no need to say much about Sect Master Yao. After succeeding the sect master, although he is not as powerful as the old sect master, he is also stable and conscientious in maintaining the foundation of Luotian Sect."

"The daughter born to me and Shi Lan is now studying with Sect Master Yao."

At the end, Xu Xiaoliu suddenly mentioned his daughter.

This thought...

Luo Chen glanced at him, and the other party was quite embarrassed, but his face was calm.

Luo Chen didn't take it seriously, but asked curiously: "Shi Lan? Could it be the girl from Bingbao back then?"

"Yes, that's right! At that time, Yuding Domain was in chaos, and Bingbao also had an accident. I saved Shi Lan's life, and later she and I became Taoist partners."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiaoliu was quite proud, as if being able to be with that woman was the proudest thing in his life.

But then, his tone dropped again.

"It's a pity that Shi Lan left her daughter and left without saying goodbye, and went to find fellow disciples from Bingbao."

"Did anything happen in Bingbao?"

"It's a long story. The Supreme Elder of Bingbao failed to break through the Nascent Soul, and many powerful people in the sect fell..."

Luo Chen listened to Xu Xiaoliu talking about the past, but he didn't take it to heart.

Now, the affairs of Luotian Sect alone are enough for him to consider.

The old stories of the old people in Yuding Domain are really not a top priority, so just take it as an understanding.

Xu Xiaoliu may have noticed Luo Chen's absent-mindedness, and gradually put away the topic.

"Except for my Luotian Sect, the seven Yuding Sects have long since dispersed or died. If it weren't for your timely return, I'm afraid the name of Luotian would have faded away."

Luo Chen comforted him for a while, and then calmly asked a new question.

"How old are you?"

Xu Xiaoliu was startled, and subconsciously stroked his beard and said, "Xiao Liuzi's life span is 247, and the end is coming."

Then, he habitually flattered him.

"I have become indifferent to life and death. Shi Lan and I were in love, and my bloodline remains in the world. I can even see your return before I die. Let Xiao Liuzi die the next moment willingly."

"You can't die now, I still have a mission for you."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said a few words while the other party was confused.

After listening, Xu Xiaoliu's eyes sparkled.

He clapped his hands and said excitedly: "I'll take this task, and I won't let you down!"

After Xu Xiaoliu left, Luo Chen closed the "Luo Tian Chronicle".

Standing on the small stone platform, looking at the mountains and rivers of Baili Qingchuan, what he thought about was the Luo Tian Sect.

Thinking deeply, he couldn't help but murmured:

"Generation after generation grows old, dies, and those who stay in the end, either continue to climb to the top or thrive."

"Just like that little tree, it meets winter and welcomes summer, keeps simple, retains branches and trunks, and finally becomes a towering giant tree."

"The way of withering and flourishing is just like this!"

The wind stops and leaves fall, and the forest rustles, as if the mountains and rivers here are responding to him.
