Chapter 723 You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It Too.

The past events flowed through his mind, and the corners of the boy's mouth slightly raised, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Compared with those people who wasted their time day after day in the past ten years, he was obviously lucky.

His spiritual roots were the favorites of heaven that ordinary people could hardly desire, and he was also smooth sailing on the road of cultivation. Since he entered the immortal path, he has hardly encountered any obstacles for more than ten years.

He was like the protagonists of the stories he heard in the county tavern when he was a child, smooth sailing, and blessed with great fortune...

After a long time, the boy slowly suppressed his heavy thoughts and fixed his eyes on the jade slip in his hand again.

The jade slip was not the common white-gray color, but the white-gray color was accompanied by a few light blue halos.

This undoubtedly also meant that this jade slip must have melted the Tianhen crystal stone, so that the jade slip could record deeper mysteries.

The sword cloud he had been thinking about, ordinary photo stones, ordinary jade slips, and spiritual paper, could not fully imprint its charm.

The boy could not hide his expectations, mobilized a trace of his consciousness, and carefully explored the jade slip. When his consciousness touched the jade slip, it was like a turn of time and space for the boy, and he went back to that year and that scene.

There was a palace standing in the clouds, and in the sky, there was a cloud like a sun floating, and on the ground, countless immortals looked up.

The boy looked up, and the existence standing on the palace in the clouds seemed to be looking down at him. The four eyes looked at each other, which should have been a difficult scene to see, but at this moment, the pair of eyes as deep as the starry sky and the universe were clearly included in the boy's vision.

The boy was slightly startled, and at this moment, an inexplicable throbbing suddenly emerged in his heart. The boy turned his head and looked at the sword cloud hanging in the sky.

With that throbbing, it was as if he suddenly realized something. In his eyes, this cloud of swordsmanship seemed to have no secrets.

All the mysteries were clearly revealed in front of him. Countless swordsmanship insights were like a river pouring down from the sky. It was not that he took the initiative to comprehend, but that they were pouring down towards him.

This feeling was almost exactly the same as when he was practicing the immortal way.

In the practice of the immortal way, he was a natural spiritual root. Even if he did not practice deliberately, a huge amount of spiritual energy would spontaneously gather towards him almost every moment. He was the darling of heaven.

And now, these countless swordsmanship insights were also rushing towards him, and they were even more turbulent than the spiritual energy that gathered towards him.

The young man almost greedily absorbed this magnificent swordsmanship insight, and there was no abnormality of disharmony. Just like a young swallow returning to the nest, everything should be like this.

In the sword way, is he also the darling of the sword?

The thought flashed through his mind, and the young man was filled with joy, immersed in the seemingly endless mystery of the sword, and could not extricate himself.

At this moment, in that Zhenchuan Palace, Chu Mu, who was still sorting out his injuries, seemed to sense something, and the surging mana and consciousness converged, and his eyes slowly opened.

He looked around the quiet room, and the slight trance in his eyes slowly turned into clarity, and then he subconsciously sensed himself.

A life-extending pill, it took nearly ten years of healing.

Just as he expected, no matter how powerful the vitality is, you can never have both fish and bear's paw.

And the fact is exactly so.

At the beginning, he wanted to take a two-pronged approach, focusing on the broken golden elixir and the soul, and directly eradicate the hidden dangers.

But in the end, it was counterproductive. As a last resort, he could only make a choice and put all the vitality on his broken golden elixir.

Although the magnificent vitality did not last too long, the dry essence that was replenished by its nourishment was undoubtedly filled up a lot.

After nearly ten years of healing, the broken golden elixir has been completely healed, no different from before.

And as the golden elixir heals, under the influence of the golden elixir, the many hidden injuries of the dantian and meridians have also been healed one after another during the nearly ten years of healing.

Until now, under the nourishing effect of the life-extending pill, his erosion injuries have only left the soul injury, which is still deeply rooted.

As for the restoring injuries of the essence, if the root problem has been solved, some injuries will only be a matter of course.

Of course, the most important thing about the life-extending pill is its life-extending effect.

A life-extending pill with elixir pattern has extended his life for nearly sixty years.

This body, which was almost dry and even decayed, has undoubtedly added a full vitality.

Although the life span is still short, at least it is not as short and urgent as before, which is almost desperate.

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly. Although the darkness in his eyes still exists, it seems to have dissipated a lot.

He rolled up his sleeves and dispelled the forbidden formation of the pavilion. Then he raised his finger and lightly tapped. The void in front of him suddenly rippled and turned into a light curtain image.

The picture flickered, and the scene in it was also the growth process of the similar flower in his nearly ten years of seclusion.

From his initial entry into the immortal path, to adapting to the world of immortal cultivation, and then to growing up in the world of immortal cultivation...

It is obvious that there are no waves in the boy's growth. Even if there are waves, it must be a blessing in disguise. There must be a big hand behind the scenes manipulating and guiding the boy's growth.

Every person the boy knows also has some detailed background investigation, or it is directly arranged by the big hand behind the scenes.

There are very few people who know about this big drama.

But there are also many people who take part in it.

Chu Mu looked calm, watching the drama unfold indifferently. Everything went smoothly, which clearly showed that the drama was still being performed according to the established script and did not go beyond the slightest.

This also meant that everything was still under control.

When the picture was frozen, it was in a cave. The young man was holding a jade slip, sitting cross-legged, with strands of cold light surging around him, showing the sharpness of the sword intent.

The chess piece that fell that year has now borne specific fruits.

At this time, looking at the young man in the picture again, Chu Mu seemed to have some fluctuations.

The Great Sun Sutra, the true cultivation of the sword intent, the fire attribute spiritual root...

This young man sitting cross-legged is no different from him.

And this is when he deliberately concealed it.

If all his concealments were untied, then except for the difference in memory and the lack of a touch of spiritual light, he... is him, there is no difference.

Even if he were to give up his physical body and take over another body, he and the body in the picture would be in perfect harmony.

But...

Taking over another body is against the will of heaven and will cause endless troubles.

If he was not at a dead end, he would not have resorted to such a desperate measure.

Similar flowers must produce extremely compatible fruits...
