Chapter 26 Love Is the only Thing that Hurts the Most

"Junior sister Jiang has also begun to retreat to the foundation building period. Time flies so fast..."

In the box, Su Ming said with some emotion.

In the blink of an eye, nine years have passed since the three of them returned to the clan from the border. Even Jiang Caiyun, who had the lowest level of cultivation at that time, had reached the perfection of Qi refining and went to Xuansu Peak to attack the foundation building stage.

The two chatted for a while, and Su Ming also informed Chang Yun about his residence in Yuchi Mountain.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked my junior brother which Jindan elder did he join after he heard about the foundation?"

Having said this, Chang Yun asked with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

As a foundation-building monk of the sect, Chang Yun naturally knew what it meant for Su Ming to be in the VIP box.

Su Ming heard that the matter of foundation building was not a secret to the foundation building monks in the sect, and he could find out with a little inquiry.

However, most of the monks in the sect were not particularly clear about which Jindan Master Su Ming was accepted as his direct disciple.

Hearing this, the smile on Su Ming's face froze slightly. Recalling Fang Yuechan's words back then, he looked at Chang Yun with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"Compared to that boy Chang Yun, I like you more!"

In just an instant, Su Ming's expression returned to normal, and Chang Yun did not notice the fleeting change in his expression.

"Junior brother was lucky enough to be favored by Elder Fang and was accepted as his disciple."

After a second thought, Su Ming still told the truth.

This is not a secret. If Chang Yun really wanted to inquire about it, he would not be able to hide it from the other party.

In addition, Chang Yun had also successfully passed the foundation building stage at this time, so Su Ming did not have to worry that this news would make the other party unstable and affect the probability of breakthrough.

As expected, Chang Yun was obviously stunned when he heard that Su Ming had been accepted as a direct disciple by Fang Yuechan.

"It's a great thing for junior brother to be accepted by Elder Fang as his direct successor. Senior brother is here to congratulate junior brother for becoming the true successor of Jindan!"

Chang Yun's tone was sincere and he congratulated from the bottom of his heart.

Although Chang Yun was smiling, Su Ming still saw loneliness and a hint of envy in the depths of this senior brother's eyes.

As the saying goes, Chang Yun pursues He Ru and knows Fang Yuechan's temperament very well.

With Fang Yuechan's temperament, she didn't even bother to accept a named disciple. Now that she has Su Ming as a direct disciple, she probably won't accept a disciple for a long time.

With a lifespan of five hundred years starting from Jindan Zhenren, this time is likely to exceed a hundred years. It is basically impossible for Chang Yun to become a disciple of Fang Yuechan.

Sensing Chang Yun's disappointment, Su Ming couldn't help but shook his head in his heart.

There are 80,000 words in the world, but the word love is the most hurtful!

Chang Yun didn't hesitate at all when he cut off his fellow disciples at the Wutong Mine and went to die resolutely, but he never had the courage to express his feelings to He Ru.

"Senior brother, have you ever heard a poem?" Su Ming suddenly asked.

"What poem?"

Chang Yun was slightly startled and looked at Su Ming.

"If love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night!"

"This poem was accidentally heard by my junior fellow apprentice in the secular world. I thought it was good and wrote it down..."

Su Ming's eyes were calm and he spoke calmly.

"Why are you in the morning and evening..." Chang Yun heard this and whispered to himself in a daze, then his eyes fluctuated and he asked in a somewhat excited voice:

"What do you mean, junior brother!?"

Seeing this, Su Ming nodded and continued.

"We monks are competing with God to live longer. A hundred years can only last in a blink of an eye. It's too early for senior brother to get nervous now..."

"With Senior Sister He's qualifications and Master's help, the possibility of forming a golden elixir in the future is not small. Once a golden elixir is formed, a monk's lifespan will be at least five hundred years..."

"Senior Brother Chang, if you are still in the foundation-building stage by then, even if you and Senior Sister He Ru are in love, what's the point of becoming a Taoist couple?"

"Is it possible that Senior Sister He should be left a widow for more than three hundred years? The phrase "growing old together" only applies to ordinary people, and it has no meaning to monks like us..."

"Instead of being dejected, it's better to pursue it bravely and plot the golden elixir road!"

"With sincerity, gold and stone are opened, and with long years of companionship, junior brother believes that senior sister will one day be able to understand senior brother Chang's thoughts..."

Su Ming spoke in a deep voice to console him, and at the same time instilled in Chang Yun the "skills for picking up girls" he had brought from his previous life. The senior brother was stunned for a moment.

As the saying goes, "a good girl is afraid of pestering a man", it is obviously impossible for a female monk like He Ru, who has a cold temper and pursues the great road, to win it overnight.

But this is the world of immortality. If you can't win in ten years, it will be one hundred years; if you can't win in one hundred years, it will be three hundred years!

Even if he still can't win over He Ru by then, maybe Chang Yun has taken a dim view of relationships, and it would be a good choice to pursue the high road in the future.

In the eyes of Su Ming, a "cultivation madman", most of the troubles in the world come from insufficient cultivation!

As long as your cultivation level is high enough, there are few things you can't do in this world of immortality where great power belongs to yourself.

"Dang~dang"

Just when Chang Yun's eyes were still in a trance, two distant and loud bells rang in the auction venue, instantly overwhelming all the sounds and shocking people's hearts.

After the bell rang, the entire venue fell silent, the chatter instantly became quieter, and everyone knew that the auction had officially begun.

In front of the platform in the middle of the venue, a female monk wearing a light pink dress, with fair skin, a headband, a proud figure, and exquisite facial features appeared at some point.

When Su Ming saw this person, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The woman in front of him was Lu Yueting, the manager of Duobao Pavilion back then, but her aura was no longer in the late stage of Qi Refining, but had also reached the early stage of Foundation Building.

"I didn't expect this woman to be from the sect. It seems that the Duobao Pavilion is very likely to be backed by the sect's Jindan family..."

Looking at Lu Yueting, who was in charge of hosting the auction, Su Ming thought to himself.

At this time, the light in the entire venue dimmed, and only the platform was still bright. Lu Yueting stood on the platform and bowed to the surrounding cultivators.

"Welcome all Taoists to participate in this auction!"

"I am Lu Yueting of the Lu family. This auction will be hosted by me."

"This auction has prepared various rare magic tools, spiritual materials, elixirs, exercises, etc., totaling more than 200 kinds. I will never let you Taoists down."

The voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted throughout the venue under the blessing of magic power.

After the voice fell, no one dared to speak impatiently like in the underground auction, but listened to Lu Yueting quietly.

With Lu Yueting's cultivation, she naturally couldn't shock many foundation-building cultivators, but as Lu Yueting spoke, a terrifying spiritual pressure silently enveloped the entire venue.

Although it didn't directly oppress many cultivators, with the cultivator's keen spiritual sense, he felt a chill on his back and a creepy feeling.

Jindan Zhenren!

"Is this auction led by Lu's Jindan Zhenren?"

Su Ming thought to himself after noticing the pressure.

"This auction prohibits all kinds of suppression and price collusion, which will affect the normal bidding. Violators will be severely punished!"

"This auction will be presided over by a Jindan Zhenren from Guiyuan Sect. I hope that all Taoists will not make mistakes."

"The price is based on low-grade spirit stones, and other items can be used as collateral..."

"Finally, in order to ensure the safety of all Taoists, no one is allowed to leave before the auction ends."

"If any Taoist does not want to participate in the auction, you can leave now."

Lu Yueting's voice was crisp. She finished the rules in one breath. After waiting for three or four breaths to see that no one left, she spoke again:

"Since no Taoist has left, I declare that this auction is officially open!"
