Warmth turns cold again

Warmth turns cold again

In the past three years, Chen Sheng's management of Yaolu has been very peaceful. He basically continued the orders left by Mr. Shen without any major changes.

It's not that there is no room for improvement, but he wants to make a natural transition, moisturize things quietly, and wait a few more years.

"Yangxin Peak's five hundred Qi Condensing Pills, along with ten diamond pills for monsters to swallow."

"Bai Yufeng has one thousand Qi-condensing pills and three hundred Qi-enhancing pills and longevity pills."

"The Law Enforcement Hall has three hundred Bloodthirsty Pills, one thousand eight hundred Qi Condensation Pills, and sixty Divine Energy Pills."

"Ask alchemist Qi Luo to refine a batch of Gu Yuan Dan for me in Yuwu Palace."

"Ask alchemist Cheng Yushu to refine a batch of Kaiyuan Pills for me at Xingshou Peak."

…

It is very rare for the elders of Yaolu to make elixirs. Except for the clear instructions from the superiors, most of them are between two choices.

What Chen Sheng has to deal with is to dispatch the alchemists of the Twelve Halls to make alchemy according to the needs of the various forces in the outer sect.

There are also some people in charge of the Taoist line who designate an alchemist to refine it and send the documents to him.

Just like when he was still an alchemist, the deacon of Yuwu Palace came to his door and asked him to refine Qi-enhancing pills.

However, such designated alchemists are very rare.

"Qi Luo, Cheng Yushu."

These two people are designated alchemists in the documents of each lineage.

He looked at the files of the two of them and found that they were indeed highly skilled in alchemy and the quality of the elixirs they produced was excellent.

In terms of age, he is not too old, but he is in the prime of life.

He kept these two names in mind for a while. With the departure of the older generation, these backbones could slowly be raised to maintain the vigorous development of Yaolu.

Swish, swish, swish...

Chen Sheng skillfully distributed the alchemy distribution according to the requirements of each major lineage.

Soon, instructions were issued from his hand one after another, and were taken away by the slaves waiting outside the door and sent to the Twelve Halls.

"It's done."

When the slaves left and the Longxing Palace fell into silence, Lu Zhu's figure appeared, with a faint smile on her face and curved eyebrows, containing infinite charm.

His eyes kept falling on Chen Sheng, and it was him who filled his eyes and heart.

"The next whole month will be very free."

Chen Sheng smiled. His actual situation was that he was not busy, he just controlled a general direction, and then he became the boss.

Leisure.

This is what Luzhu wants.

"The operation of Yaolu should be simpler. There are many chores at Bai Yufeng, and I don't want to take care of them anymore."

She doesn't like dealing with things very much, not because she can't cope with it, but because she wants to spend more time on Chen Sheng.

Nothing is more important than two people getting along.

"When Elder Fuyunzi heard this, he should have a headache."

Chen Sheng held Lv Zhu's little hand very delicately, and squeezed it, as if to comfort the girl.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Bai Yufeng's generation, I would have succeeded in building the foundation, so I wouldn't have bothered."

Lu Zhu took advantage of the situation and leaned on Chen Sheng's body, rubbing against it, feeling that the chores outside were becoming more and more boring.

However, Bai Yufeng is the fruit of the teacher's life, and she really can't let it go.

More than a hundred years ago, it was rare to develop from an ordinary outer sect to its current prominence.

In fact, this kind of change is generally impossible to maintain, because the foundation is too shallow, and once the rising Foundation Establishment monks leave, they will fall again.

But her appearance suppressed the decline and lifted Bai Yufeng's power upwards.

I'm afraid that after her generation's consolidation and the next generation's stability, Bai Yufeng will really become a prominent lineage in the outer sect.

"Your qualifications can't be called outstanding. How come you suddenly achieved Qi Refining and Successful Foundation Building in the past few years?"

Speaking of this, Chen Sheng was a little curious. Even if he looked at the inner sect, those true inheritances could not guarantee the success of foundation building.

Back then, Lvzhu was not an amazing talent, but within a few years, he made great progress, breaking through several bottlenecks and reaching the foundation-building realm.

There must be some reason for this.

"That's the secret."

Luzhu Pojing's belief is that Chen Sheng has protection and companionship, but how can such a shy daughter express her inner thoughts, even to her sweetheart, she is shy, so she turns to: "It's you, why?"

Can’t you build a foundation yet?”

The ultimate lifespan in the Qi Refining Realm is one hundred and thirty years, and the longest lifespan in the Foundation Building Realm is three hundred. She still wants to stay with Chen Sheng for another two hundred years.

"It's still a bit worse."

Chen Sheng shook his head. The year before last, he had reached the state of Qi Refining Perfection, but he felt there was still a long way to go before he could reach the foundation-building state.

He also tried to pass the test, but failed. After calming down his mind, he continued to maintain a calm state of mind and slowly grinded away.

"No matter what, even if you are a lifelong Qi refining monk, I will still be with you."

In this life, Lu Zhu identified Chen Sheng.

She asked about Chen Sheng's cultivation progress, not because she felt that their realms were incompatible, but simply because monks at the Foundation Establishment realm could live longer.

If it was true that Chen Sheng went first because of the difference in realm, she would also admit that getting along with him overnight would be better than a hundred years of useless waiting.

"Where's Zhou Lie?"

Life span is what Chen Sheng is worried about.

He didn't want to continue this topic and asked about Zhou Lie, this apprentice who hadn't been seen for a while.

"He is addicted to alchemy and cannot extricate himself. I have told him several times that he has stopped refining Qi for two or three years."

Luzhu sighed slightly, neither master nor disciple allowed her to worry, and their state of mind was motionless.

Chen Sheng was limited by his qualifications, but Zhou Lie put all his thoughts on the alchemy path, to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

"I'll talk about him another day."

Chen Sheng said carefully.

Cultivation is about competing with God for destiny, and Zhou Lie's current state is indeed not quite right.

The two chatted for a while, talking appropriately and in harmony.

"Elder, there is an urgent message from Luxing Palace."

The warmth and peace were broken by the sudden announcement.

Luxing Hall is the residence of Master Fei Alchemy.

"What's up."

A trace of bad emotion arose in Chen Sheng's heart and he asked the servants from Luxing Palace to come in.

He was an honest middle-aged man. At this time, his face was full of panic and confusion, and he was completely confused.

"Master Fei Dan passed away at the end of his life."

When he saw Chen Sheng, he seemed to have found spiritual support from his panic. He knelt down and started sobbing softly.

"Husband."

This news made Luzhu's heart skip a beat. She was extremely nervous and looked at Chen Sheng worriedly.

Alchemist Fei played the role of a mentor and friend in Chen Sheng's path to alchemy. His sudden departure must be a big blow.

"It's still here..."

Chen Changchang let out a very long sigh. Although he knew that this day would come, but when it actually came, ripples would still appear in his heart.

When he raised his head, he saw Lu Zhu's worried eyes and patted her hand to indicate that nothing was wrong.

Immediately afterwards...

Chen Sheng rushed to Luxing Palace. Master Fei had left, but the funeral and other matters could not be ignored.

In the Luxing Hall, when Chen Sheng arrived, the first thing he saw was the hall full of white cloth and a coffin in the hall.

He followed step by step, seeming to stagger under his feet, when he came to the coffin and saw the old man lying inside.

The complexion is pale and the blood is exhausted, as if the oil has run out and the lamp has dried up.

"There's no need to be too sad. It's time to go away naturally."

Xi Fu and Alchemist Ding arrived early.

This coffin and white cloth were placed by two people.

Seeing the sadness on Chen Sheng's face, the two of them offered words of comfort. The matter of life and death was the cycle of heaven. Even if they were cultivators, they could not escape this law.

"Lao Fei is alone and has no heirs. It is up to us to take care of his funeral."

Alchemist Ding was very melancholy. He and Alchemist Fei were of the same generation. They practiced together when they were young and learned the art of alchemy.

The two have similar achievements, but he is better than Master Fei, and he has left a bloodline heir.

Master Fei Dan was alone. Once he left, he could only let old friends like them handle the funeral arrangements.

"This is what I should do."

Funeral.

This is not the first time Chen Sheng has faced this, and this time will not be the last.

Although he was sad in his heart, he could still maintain his composure. Master Fei taught him the art of spiritual grass cultivation, and he had the grace to teach him. No matter what, he had to send him away in glory.

After placing the coffin for three days, it was time for burial.

During this period, several people sat around the hall in silence for a while.

"These two are getting older day by day."

Chen Sheng saw that Master Xi Fu and Alchemist Ding were aging and gray-haired, and because Master Fei was gone, he was heartbroken and depressed, looking extremely old.

He glanced at the coffin again, where lay the cold body of Master Fei Dan. The three of them were of the same generation and had the same level. Once this one left, it was like the beginning of a reincarnation, and the other two would not be too far away.

Thinking of this, he sighed slightly, feeling helpless.

"Why, you're still sad."

Luzhu came closer, half-snuggling against Chen Sheng's body, and asked in a low voice.

"Better."

Chen Sheng grabbed Lv Zhu's hand, and the real touch gave him a little peace of mind. He no longer felt like he was hanging in the sky and his feet were not touching the ground.

Later.

Regarding the funeral, Chen Sheng felt that it was only him, Xi Fu, and Alchemist Ding, and at most they added Lvzhu and Zhou Lie, which was considered weak and lacked any sense of grandeur.

He sent a letter asking the Zhou family to bring someone over to do whatever they could.

They have experience.

Three days passed by in a blink of an eye, when the coffin came out of the Luxing Hall, the white flags were waving, and the momentum was huge.

Chen Sheng, Xi Fu and Master Ding carried the coffin while walking.

Behind them were Lv Zhu and Zhou Lie, as well as all the Zhou family members, all of whom were awe-inspiring and treated them with great solemnity.

The weather today is not good, there are wisps of drizzle, and the air is sticky, as if a heart is sinking in the mud.

After leaving the confines of Yaolu, it turned into a wilderness and mountainous area. The hiding place Xi Fu chose for Master Fei was a place with beautiful scenery.

The peak is not lofty at all, but through the mountain barrier, you can see the spiritual grass in the East Nine District at a glance.

For this reason alone, if there are ghosts left behind after death, Master Fei Alchemy will not be too lonely.

Wow…

When the wind picked up, the Zhou family took advantage of the situation and threw away the yellow paper in their hands. The white flags fluttered and played a desolate sound.

The journey was not long, but when Chen Sheng, who was holding the coffin, came to Tibet, he felt as if he had walked a path between yin and yang.

"This is it."

Xifu took a breath and came to a square hole that he and Master Ding worked together to dig.

He stood in the direction of the tombstone, looked around, and nodded slightly. It was a good place. It was good that Master Fei Dan was buried here.

"What's the time?"

Chen Sheng respects these customs very much. Perhaps he really hopes that there will be a place of reincarnation so that Master Fei can live a better life in his next life.

"It only takes half an hour to get on board."

The head of the Zhou family looked at the sky before answering.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Sheng nodded and saw the Zhou family's body and clothes stained with mud. He felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was troublesome.

"This is a matter of accumulating evil deeds. There will be no trouble."

The head of the Zhou family is very nice to talk to. Besides, Chen Sheng’s promotion of the Zhou family is really nothing. Through this incident, he feels that Chen Sheng is really a good supporter. He pays great attention to human touch and follows the lead.

People's efforts will never be in vain.

"It's ready for burial."

After a while, an old man from the Zhou family reminded him.

Later, under the command of Chen Sheng, Fei Danshi's coffin was put into the hole, and the descendants of the Zhou family got busy filling the soil and burying it.

As shovels were piled up, a small bag of earth appeared on the top of the hill.

"Everyone comes and offers a stick of incense."

Xi Fu said hello and took the lead in lighting a stick of incense. He stood in front of Master Fei Alchemy's tombstone, looking inexplicable and a little sad. He was speechless but seemed to have confided a lot. He said it all with a stick of incense.

Each person has one stick of incense. Because of the Zhou family, half of the land is smoky and the smell of incense is extremely strong.

Chen Sheng similarly burned a stick of incense.

Then, silently, he took out a suona.

It is indispensable when a stranger is buried.

It's still the same song "Crying the Emperor", but compared with the rawness at the beginning, it is now very proficient. Moreover, because of the emotion contained in it, it is like weeping and complaining, and it has a sad charm that touches people's hearts.

In the song, Chen Sheng thought a lot. When he first went to Luxing Palace, he asked Alchemist Fei to dig up the soil, plant spiritual grass, and build the East Nine District from scratch.

The three volumes of Lingcao Diary (upper, middle and lower) contain the Tao of Alchemy and also record Master Fei’s life insights.

It can be said that Alchemist Fei's spiritual grass diary showed him an alchemist's perspective on the world of immortality.

He benefited a lot from this.

In the auxiliary competition of the Golden Liquid Great Pill, it was Alchemist Fei who persuaded Alchemist Qi, and both of them quit, helping him. Only then did he have Yang Wang for twenty-eight years, and became famous in Yaolu. When he was promoted to the elder of Yaolu

A situation where there is no obstruction and no one is dissatisfied.

This is a respectable elder, but he will never be seen again.

"This is a sad song, you have to play less."

The sound of the suona aroused not only Chen Sheng's mood, but in terms of friendship, the friendship between Xi Fu, Alchemist Ding and Alchemist Fei was even deeper than Chen Sheng's.

Under the tragic song, the two people's emotions were extremely low, with a little sparkle in their eyes.

However, the two of them were concerned about Chen Sheng's condition.

This piece of sad music is so sad that the listeners feel so sad. The person who plays it naturally feels even more sad.

Young people whose hearts have been too polished by foreign affairs will appear to be old.

"nothing."

Lu Zhu grabbed the corner of his clothes. Chen Sheng turned his head and smiled, but he didn't have much emotion.
