Chapter 243: Refining the Elixir in One Day, Unprecedented in History

Hearing Lu Chen's explanation of Gu Xiu, Yi Hanqing couldn't help but sigh: "Gu Xiu, Gu Xiu, first Gu and then cultivation, this method of the True Immortal is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Because if Lu Chen's inference is correct, then the entire Daying Dynasty is a huge gathering place for Gu worms.

Being able to gather so many Gu worms together and let these Gu worms regard themselves as human beings.

This is definitely not a simple matter.

And if these people have been maintaining their human bodies, it would be fine.

Once something unexpected happens, causing these people to reveal their original Gu worm bodies.

Then they will be trapped in a vast sea of ​​Gu worms.

Even if they want to leave at that time, it will not be so easy to leave.

As soon as this idea came out, Yi Hanqing and others were instantly nervous.

Because once you are trapped in that sea of ​​tens of thousands of Gu worms, unless you are a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, you will definitely not be able to escape unscathed.

In addition, Yi Hanqing and others also thought of other situations.

That is the inheritance of Gu Yue Zhenxian. If it is also based on these Gu worms, it means that they have to give up their human bodies and turn to practicing Gu.

This is really meaningless to most people present.

Yi Hanqing looked at Lu Chen and said, "Junior Brother Lu, the reason why you told us this, besides the fact that the inheritance is useless to us, there must be other reasons, right?"

Lu Chen nodded, and then said another reason for gathering everyone.

"The inheritance is not suitable for one reason. The real important reason is that I think this inheritance may not be prepared for us from the beginning, but for real Gu worms."

"Once you accept this inheritance, the result... may be much worse than what you said."

"Of course, all this is just my guess, and you can use it as a reference. You can decide what to do specifically. I am just telling you some of my guesses."

After hearing this, Yi Hanqing and others were silent for a long time.

Some of them were even tangled.

After all, the inheritance of the True Immortal is a rare opportunity that only comes once in a hundred years or even a thousand years.

Seeing the opportunity to obtain inheritance and become an immortal is right in front of them, even if they know that it is full of dangers.

It is difficult for anyone to give up personally.

However, after listening to Lu Chen's advice, some people made a decision at the first time.

"Since you said so, fellow Daoist Lu, I'd better go back early. After all, if my master hadn't forced me to come, I wouldn't have come to wade into this muddy water."

After saying that, Shangguan Yunmeng expressed her attitude.

In fact, she didn't understand what Lu Chen just said.

But this didn't prevent her from understanding what Lu Chen wanted to express.

To sum it up, it's nothing more than one sentence.

The trial is meaningless to them, so they can go if they can.

For Shangguan Yunmeng, who thinks she is a "smart person", the main thing is to listen to advice, especially to listen to smart advice.

In her eyes, Lu Chen is well-deserved smart.

After Shangguan Yunmeng expressed his attitude, Yi Hanqing also said: "I specialize in swordsmanship, and this true immortal inheritance is really not very useful to me."

"As the saying goes, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer from the chaos. Now is indeed a good time to leave."

"Besides, the trip to the mountain of books and the sea of ​​learning some time ago has already made me gain a lot. This time, it is worthwhile to leave."

The Meow King licked his paws and said nonchalantly: "Brother, I don't have much pursuit. The immortal inheritance will fall on anyone, and it will never fall on my head. I don't care whether I leave or not. Since everyone says to leave, then let's go."

After hearing the analysis of these people, some people also chose to follow Lu Chen's advice and prepared to leave in the near future.

But some people still couldn't give up.

"Junior Brother Lu, although you said so, I still want to give it a try."

"Me too, I know you are doing this for our good, but the True Immortal inheritance is right in front of me. If I do nothing, I will always feel a little unwilling."

"But don't worry, Junior Brother. If it is really impossible, I will not force it."

Lu Chen was not surprised to hear these words.

But out of friendship, Lu Chen still said kindly: "It is human nature for the senior brothers and sisters to make this decision."

"If the senior brothers and sisters believe in me, then the senior brothers and sisters should not go out casually during this period. Just wait in the academy for half a year. Within half a year, everything should have a result."

The senior brothers and sisters who wanted to stay finally nodded and listened to Lu Chen's opinion.

After saying this, everyone left Lu Chen's cave.

Lu Chen looked at the backs of everyone leaving, and finally looked in the direction outside the academy.

At this time, outside the academy, a dark cloud quietly covered the distance.

It was as if a storm was about to come.

"I have almost mastered the Creation Pill Art now. The only thing I lack is the right materials for refining the pill."

"If I am right, this time I should be able to gather at least some medicinal materials for refining the fourth-level elixir."

"In this way, I should have the hope of reaching 50 million spiritual power before returning and meeting the conditions for breaking through the Golden Core Stage."

"Everything... is almost over."

After saying that, Lu Chen began to meditate again.

But unlike the previous concentration and luck, Lu Chen at this time did not seem to be practicing, but more like preparing for the next battle.

Three months later, in September, golden autumn, late at night.

The walls of the imperial city tower into the clouds, majestic and majestic.

Under the autumn moonlight, a faint paleness is reflected on the city wall, giving people an inexplicable sense of chill and depression.

On the city wall, Daying soldiers were holding spears and looking serious.

Although they seemed to be guarding the imperial city normally, their eyes did not look outside the city. Instead, they kept looking in a certain direction inside the city, as if they were on guard for something.

The Daying Palace on the other side was also eerily quiet at this time.

Many courtiers walked toward the main hall, and each of them walked very slowly.

In the spacious palace, there was no other sound except for footsteps and breathing.

And these people did not leave for a long time after entering the palace hall.

In the corridor, the palace guards patrolled back and forth. Their words and deeds were very rigorous and serious, and they did not dare to make any deviation.

After an unknown amount of time, the originally closed door of the main palace slowly opened.

Daying Emperor Zhao Zhongming wore a golden armor and walked out with a steady pace.

The armor was completely golden, and there were many complex patterns engraved on it. It looked like it was not ordinary at first glance.

Behind him, a group of Da Ying Gu cultivators followed him out.

The first few who followed him were all monks of the Third Realm, including the heads of the four major monk families of the Daying Dynasty.

At a rough glance, there were actually seven Third Realm Gu cultivators gathered around Zhao Zhongming at this time.

Counting Zhao Zhongming himself, there are now eight third-level Gu cultivators in the palace.

Such a force was almost unstoppable until the monks at the level of the Fourth Realm Nascent Soul Stage monks appeared.

And what allowed Zhao Zhongming to gather so many three-level Gu cultivators to accomplish was naturally not an easy task.

Zhao Zhongming looked at Cui Shouye and others and said with a smile: "My dear friends, are you ready?"

Cui Shouye and others half-knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I am willing to listen to your Majesty's orders!"

"Then let's go."

"yes!"

Following Zhao Zhongming's order, the originally quiet palace suddenly became noisy.

In addition, the Daying army outside the palace was also mobilized at this time.

After entering the city, these armies immediately approached the direction of White Deer Academy.

Many people immediately closed their doors and windows when they saw the soldiers and horses passing by outside.

Although they didn't know what happened, they instinctively knew that the Imperial City would not be peaceful tonight.

"come yet……"

In the cave, Lu Chen, who was still in seclusion, slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction outside the academy.

Although it was very quiet outside the academy at this time, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

But he could feel a strong murderous intention from it.

These murderous intentions are not directed at a specific person, but a special momentum that has been condensed.

Lu Chen had known about this scene three months ago, so it was not surprising.

Although he didn't know what happened to Zhao Zhongming.

But Lu Chen treated them from the Daying Dynasty's attitude towards these testers.

As well as the special 'Long Zi' who was suppressing the Demon Division in Huaiyang Prefecture at that time, they probably deduced Zhao Zhongming's general plan.

First of all, Lu Chen obtained a special skill book called "The Immortal Thief" after killing Long Zi, who was in the Demon Division of Huaiyang Prefecture at that time.

The biggest feature of this technique is that it can steal the sky and change the sun, making the thief invisible.

The specific manifestation is that this technique can forcibly steal other people's 'talent', 'bloodline' and other things that cannot be stolen in the way of immortal magic, and transform them into one's own power.

As for Long Zi of Huaiyang Mansion, Zhao Zhongming used the 'immortal thief' to steal the destiny that originally belonged to Long Zi, thus giving Zhao Zhongming the longevity and cultivation talent that he did not have originally.

If that was just the case, Lu Chen might not think much about it and just thought that Zhao Zhongming was an emperor seeking immortality.

But after a conversation with Yunzhonglu, his suspicions were verified.

Lu Chen's view of Zhao Zhongming was no longer that of the dynasty emperor who was bent on pursuing immortality.

Rather, he is an ambitious man who is dissatisfied with being a frog in a well and wants to seek a broader world.

Because in terms of longevity, Zhao Zhongming could theoretically obtain unlimited longevity by relying on the Immortal Thief.

There is no need to continue to arrange the formation in the Demon Suppression Division that can intercept the dynasty's luck.

This can only show that Zhao Zhongming's ambition is far greater than he imagined.

Lu Chen put himself in his shoes and thought about it.

If he were in Zhao Zhongming's position, what exactly would he have to achieve so that he would not be satisfied after reaching the third level of cultivation and mastering the Immortal's method, so he would need to intercept the dynasty's luck and further improve his strength.

There is no doubt that the only way to break out of this world is to break the shackles.

And if Zhao Zhongming really wants to achieve this result, then he has only two choices.

One is to go further and reach a place above Daying, such as Wentian Palace.

Another is to find a way out of the Daying Dynasty, such as the White Deer Academy.

If Zhao Zhongming chooses the former, he will not have any impact on trialists like Lu Chen.

But if it's the latter, then the problem is very serious.

Because the three questions Lu Chen asked Yun Zhonglu included this part.

Although Yunzhonglu did not answer carefully, Lu Chen also got the answer he wanted.

He concluded that if Zhao Zhongming wanted to leave the Daying Dynasty, there was only one way, that is, to leave this place as a ‘True Immortal Trialist’, or to use the boundary gate of the trialist.

As for why he did not choose to break through the four realms and enter the Heavenly Questioning Palace before seeking a way to leave this world.

Lu Chen inferred that this should be related to the special system of the Gu cultivators themselves.

Although he had not seen a four-realm Gu cultivator, after understanding the nature of the Gu cultivators, he naturally compared them with the Yuanying stage cultivators.

The Yuanying of the Yuanying stage cultivators is essentially the ‘true spirit’ after clarifying the true self.

And the true self of the Gu cultivators is obviously the Gu worm in their bodies.

But if the Gu worm awakens the true self, then it is hard to say whether it is the Gu worm or the Gu cultivator himself who controls the body at that time.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Chen asked Yi Hanqing and others to leave the True Immortal Trial.

In fact, Lu Chen did not think about Zhao Zhongming taking over a trialist and then using the other party’s body to leave this place.

But Lu Chen felt that if things were really that simple, Zhao Zhongming would not have planned so many things.

Immortal immortality, dynasty luck formation, seizing the fate of his offspring...

Everything Zhao Zhongming did undoubtedly showed that he had great ambitions.

Therefore, Lu Chen felt that if the other party really wanted to get rid of the shackles of this world, the biggest possibility was to kill his way into the academy and force other trialists to let Yun Zhonglu open a channel to leave the trial.

Then Zhao Zhongming took this opportunity to leave the Daying Dynasty together.

Of course, Lu Chen did not dare to say that his inference was necessarily accurate.

But there is nothing wrong with making the worst plan for everything.

Half a year, this is also a reasonable time inferred by Lu Chen based on the situation of the True Immortal Trial.

And the development of things is almost the same as he thought.

The army gathered outside the White Deer Academy at this time illustrates this point.

Lu Chen stood up, and four flying swords flew out of his soul and surrounded him.

After these flying swords appeared, they slowly hid around the academy and quietly spread out the sword domains contained in them.

After doing all this, Lu Chen looked up at the sky palace of the academy.

Under the night sky, heavy dark clouds covered the originally bright moon, shrouding the entire academy in gloom.

Facing such a scene, Lu Chen whispered: "It is unprecedented to refine the elixir in one day."

"I hope the final result will not disappoint me, otherwise my arrangement this time will be a bit superfluous..."

After that, Lu Chen pushed open the door of the cave and walked towards a certain direction in the academy...
