Seeing that Li Jian was about to scream, Shen Xisheng smiled and put his index finger to his lips, signaling to be silent.

Li Jian subconsciously covered his mouth and nodded.

"Xiao Li, I'm back."

Shen Xisheng's words reached Li Jian's ears lightly, and he saw agility reappearing in the other person's eyes.

The child from back then is still there, just hidden deep inside.

Li Jian vividly remembered that on the day he learned about Shen Xi's life and death, dark clouds were gathering in Tianjian Valley, and the rain poured down mercilessly, chilling him to the bone.

At that moment, he truly realized the difference between immortality and mortal life. Mortal life is too fragile.

But he always kept in mind the agreement he made with Shen Xisheng, worked hard in practice, and is now the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation.

Today is the day for the sect to recruit disciples. He returned here with the mentality of revisiting his old place, but he did not expect to see Shen Xisheng again.

"Brother Shen..."

Li Jian whispered awkwardly and awkwardly.

It’s really embarrassing for him to use this title after so many years.

Shen Xisheng waved his hand jokingly:

"Hey, you are older than me now."

Li Jian was stunned for a moment, and the next moment they both laughed at the same time.

"As expected of two brothers."

Shen Ergou watched the reunion between the two and couldn't help but said.

"This is...Senior Wang?"

Li Jian looked at Shen Ergou's face and asked tentatively.

"Hey, how can I bear the word "senior"? Don't let the immortal shorten my life."

More than fifty years have passed, and their identities are completely different. Certain default rules have invisibly built a high wall.

Shen Xisheng patted the dumb Li Jian and briefly mentioned his situation.

Naturally, he couldn't talk about Goldfinger. He only told him that he was reincarnated with memories and used this to inspire the other party:

"As long as you don't forget the promise, I won't break it, and you have to stick to it in the future."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Shen Xisheng said nothing more and stood up to leave with Shen Ergou.

When Li Jian saw this, he quickly stopped the two of them. He bit the bullet and began to search for topics:

"Brother Shen, why don't you test your qualifications?

Maybe you can enter Tianjian Valley, our environment in Tianjian Valley is very good."

He really couldn't find any topic to talk about, so he could only use the recruitment of people in Sword Valley today to talk about it.

In response, Shen Xisheng just shook his head and said calmly:

"Xiao Li, I know what you mean.

But it’s not the time yet, at least not in this life.”

After that, he grabbed the root bone stone on the table in front of Li Jian.

A five-color seed emerged from the dark root bone stone.

Although he has the most basic Five Spiritual Roots, he has no swordsmanship talent, which obviously does not meet the requirements of Tianjian Valley.

Li Jian lowered his head with regret. After embarking on the path to immortality, he also understood that Shen Xi could not be by his side in this life.

Shen Xisheng sighed, walked to him, stood on tiptoes with a young man's body, and touched the other person's head:

"Don't be discouraged. You are a newbie in foundation building now. How can you lose your concentration because of such a trivial matter?

Keep practicing and don’t slack off."

Li Jian was speechless, just nodded silently, and then watched the two of them leave.

Still have to become stronger!

This thought kept swirling in Li Jian's mind, and the fighting spirit in his heart became even stronger.

On the way back.

Shen Ergou stroked his beard and joked:

"I thought you two brothers would have a good heart-to-heart talk, but you didn't say a few words."

Shen Xisheng rested his hands on his head and walked briskly. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

"What can I say? I just know that he is doing well.

Decades have passed and he has his own way of dealing with people, so don’t bother him."

Although Shen Xisheng did not reminisce about the past with Li Jian for a long time, he already knew through the ability of "seeing the subtle things" that the other party had prospered over the years.

Not only is he highly valued by senior officials within the sect, but he has also made some true friends.

In short, the prospects are so good that it is no longer his turn to worry about it. Instead, he has to catch up with the other party.

For now, I should just be a fortune teller.

......

Twelve years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Lingshui City.

Shen family.

Shen Xisheng sat cross-legged in his room, checking the panel:

Name: Shen Xisheng

Realm: Third level of Qi training (30/100)

Shouyuan:24/95

[Five Spiritual Roots]: Can carry out the most basic cultivation.

[Jianweizhizhu]: You can check the character's status and life story.

[Changchun Gong]: The most basic practice method.

[Blood Escape Technique] (non-permanent): You can teleport a certain distance by consuming blood essence.

Obtained causal points: 2164

Currently available causal points: 4

"Tsk, tsk, it took twelve years to reach the third level of Qi training. The future is worrying."

Shen Xisheng rubbed his temples and felt a little dizzy.

As he had expected before, he could only collect about two thousand causal points in Lingshui City.

His cultivation progress is very slow. In the past twelve years, he has been able to reach the third level of Qi training by relying on more than 1,600 causal points to fill most of his cultivation.

Such low efficiency forced Shen Xisheng to spend 500 points to redeem the escape skill.

The main thing is to keep the green hills, so you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood.

"It's time to leave Lingshui City and go to other places to gather wool."

Shen Xisheng jumped off the bed and looked at himself in the mirror:

He has a slender and straight figure, a resolute face like a knife and an axe, the heroic eyebrows flying into the temples, and the clear electric eyes without a trace of impurities.

Now a young man, he has completely shed his immature appearance as a teenager and has become a handsome young man.

When walking on the street, I will attract the attention of some little girls from time to time.

The parents in this life also wanted Shen Xisheng to start a family, but they were quickly rejected by Shen Xisheng himself and Shen Ergou.

Shen Ergou also knows that the world of mortals is a kind of constraint for Shen Xisheng, and it is best not to impose it on him.

As for the two of them secretly going to Goulan to listen to music, that is another story.

Do you understand that listening to girls singing and dancing makes you feel spiritually rich?

Just when Shen Xisheng was about to go out and find Shen Ergou to start listening to music on Goulan today, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Shen Xisheng frowned. In order to maintain a quiet cultivation environment, he asked the servants not to knock on his door unless they had nothing to do.

Today is so unusual, something big must have happened.

He quickly stepped forward and opened the door, only to see a servant looking panicked and saying to him:

"Master, it's not good! The rebels are going to Lingshui City!

The master wants everyone to go to the main hall to discuss matters now."

"I understand. You go back to the main hall first. I'll be here right away."

After waving his hand for the servant to leave, Shen Xisheng narrowed his eyes and began to think deeply.

Are Daqian's rebels actually going to attack Lingshui City so soon?

It seems that the next days will not be peaceful.

Although there is no country established by immortal cultivators in this world, the countries of mortals are constantly changing.

There was peace for many years before, but now there are ambitious people who want to start a war.

Naturally, the Immortal Cultivation Sect will not care about the struggles of mortals.

To them, it doesn't matter as long as the mass killings don't affect their sect's recruitment.

They don't even bother to intervene in this kind of war, which is like playing house.

The mortal army sometimes invites some casual cultivators to help. If they take action, it will naturally be a disaster for the mortals.
