Chapter 51 The Heart of Immortality

"I wonder what else Uncle Master has to do?"

Lin Chen bowed and turned to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng smiled kindly and handed Lin Chen an address.

"This is……"

"This cave is rich in spiritual energy and has a spiritual spring inside. It is a good place for cultivation. It is also located in a remote location and is not easily disturbed." Yang Cheng explained.

"Disciple, I would like to thank my uncle." Lin Chen thanked him respectfully.

"You have reached this level of cultivation at such a young age. You must have a bright future. Don't be complacent because of your temporary progress..."

"Polish your true energy well. Pure true energy is the key to promotion to foundation building..." Yang Cheng kept admonishing and teaching.

Although Lin Chen already knew the key, he could only stand aside and listen respectfully.

There was no other way. The other party was an elder and a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage. He was stronger than me. Could he still refuse to listen and just leave on the spot with a stern look on his face?

I'm afraid I won't be slapped on the wall!

"...As long as you practice hard, you will definitely achieve something in the future." As if he was tired of talking, Yang Cheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Then, he looked a little tangled, hesitated for a while, and then said: "If possible, you must fight for the position of a true disciple. This position is not only as simple as the supply of resources, but also can help you in your future path. ”

Um?

Lin Chen was slightly startled.

According to his information, the position of true disciple is supported by the entire sect, and the probability of being promoted to the golden elixir is greatly increased. Is this the path of help he calls?

"It's not that simple." Yang Cheng seemed to have guessed Lin Chen's thoughts and said, "The most outstanding thing about our Qingyun Sect is our achievements in spiritual planting."

"Things like [Message Flower] and [Door Guard Grass] are just ordinary spiritual plants. The truly precious things are still in the hands of true disciples and even Golden Core Elders..."

"For example, if you hold it, you can walk in dreams. After eating it, you can cut the hair and cleanse the marrow, and strengthen the muscles and bones. In this way, it is invulnerable to water and fire, and has a golden body and jade bones. Another example is that eating it can make you wise. Stay awake and keep your consciousness unaffected by [Holy Mumandui]..."

"If you can get their seeds and refine them with secret methods, you can live with them. Not only can you use their abilities to practice, you can even reach high levels, and there are all kinds of magic..."

A strange spiritual plant?

Lin Chen's eyes moved. The improved spiritual plants created by the Qingyun Sect did not seem to be the kind that only haunted enemies and increased their cultivation. They seemed to have various wonderful effects.

But how did you get these strange spiritual plants?

He suddenly remembered the roots of Qingyun Sect. Could it be that these spiritual plants originated from the transformation of gods?

"...Alas, I am getting old after all, and I like to gossip more and more, which makes you young people unhappy." Yang Cheng on the side smiled at himself at the end.

"Uncle Master, what did you say? Your words were thought-provoking and helpful to me." Lin Chen quickly reacted and said seriously.

When Yang Cheng heard this, he showed a look of relief on his face and continued:

"Practice well. The future of Qingyun Sect is yours, and it will definitely fall into the hands of young people like you. I don't ask you to fight for the sect life and death, but I also ask you to help it when it is in danger. ”

"Uncle Master, what are you talking about? This disciple will dedicate himself to the sect even if he dies." Lin Chen responded quickly.

Yang Cheng smiled and said nothing, but waved his hand to signal Lin Chen to step back.

"Then disciple, please leave first." Lin Chen cupped his hands, turned and left the place.

The setting light after dusk, through the dense green shade, cast a little golden light on Lin Chen's retreating figure.

Yang Chengcheng stared blankly at the young man's retreating back, feeling a little lost.

For some reason, he vaguely seemed to see himself when he was younger.

It seems that many years ago, I was just like the other person, energetic, confident, determined, and full of vitality.

And whether the uncle who was in charge of him back then was like himself now, facing that energetic young man, he also felt relief, envy, and that unspeakable melancholy.

"I didn't expect that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye. It seems that I am really old." Yang Cheng leaned on the wooden chair, rocking gently, and sighed quietly.

He knew very well that he still had thirty or forty years to live, which might be longer than some of his disciples, but it was not his body that aged, but his heart facing the world.

After all, after people have experienced too much, they will always get used to it and get bored. So gradually, they will lose their original intention to stay active in the face of the world, and gradually become numb and slow.

In addition, humans are never solitary creatures. They always need an anchor to determine their own value and find their own position, so as to obtain that ethereal but real sense of existence.

But whether it is curiosity about the world or a sense of presence among people, they will slowly disappear with the passage of time.

When a long enough period of time passes and both of these disappear, what can people rely on to give themselves the motivation to continue on?

So, human beings are really a contradictory species. They will feel tired when faced with hundreds of years, but they also long for the endless years of thousands, tens of thousands, or even billions of years.

Have they ever thought about whether they have a heart that is strong enough to carry eternal life?

You must know that for true immortals, the long time of thousands of years is only a moment to them.

They sit on the other side of the long river of time and have witnessed the vicissitudes of the world. To them, everything in the world is just the scenery they have seen for millions of years.

All things related to people, such as interpersonal relationships, relationships, and interactions, are not important to them.

Because all the people he cares about and care about him are destined to leave him, and in the end only one person is left drifting alone in the long years.

When you are tired of seeing everything, when you are tired of seeing everything, but you still have to spend endless years with loneliness, how many people can withstand this kind of test caused by time?

Many people say this is freedom, but in other words, this world has no secrets for you, and no one will care about you. You seem to be awake, but you are always alone. Isn't this a kind of loneliness?

Therefore, a true immortal must not only have a long lifespan, but also have a heart of immortality that remains unchanged for millions of years. Only in this way can he experience the vicissitudes of life.

"My heart is getting old. I have to do something and find someone to talk to so that I won't be so lonely. I have lost the courage to pursue immortality, so..." The old man looked at Lin Chen's retreating back. , his eyes were mixed with relief, expectation and an indescribable look.

After a long, long time, in the empty hall, a long sigh came from the twilight old man: "My child, I hope you can go farther than me, and I hope you can have that immortal heart."
