When Bai Qingzhou happily returned to the store with "Miao Miao Sword Technique", he found an unexpected visitor standing in the store talking to Meng Li.
Stepping into the store, Bai Qingzhou looked a little stunned when he saw the young man in front of him, "Xiao Shi! Why are you here?"
The person who came was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a childish face, firm features, and a hint of shrewdness in his eyes. He was Shi Zhichen, a disciple of the Xuanyang Sect.
He is a young man who became immortal in the same group as Meng Li, but he is much younger than Meng Li.
The last time there was an attack on the gate, it was because of his cleverness that he discovered something was wrong with Qin Feng and the others and warned them in advance. This prevented the three men from breaking into the gate and made great contributions to the Xuanyang Gate.
I just don’t know why Huoyingfang suddenly came here at this moment.
"Hello, senior brother!" Shi Zhichen first saluted seriously, and then replied: "Deacon Dai asked me to come here this time."
"Okay, please sit down first and let's talk." Seeing his fellow disciple, Bai Qingzhou felt quite happy and greeted him with a smile.
Shi Zhichen sat on the chair, Meng Li also sat next to him, and the three of them sat around the table.
"Haha", Bai Qingzhou smiled, and then said straight to the point: "Tell me, what does Deacon Dai want to give you this time."
Shi Zhichen pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Brother and sister, I have come here this time to tell you two things. The first is that our ascension conference is about to begin. The leader said that when new disciples will come in, he plans to hold a grand ceremony.
A banquet is held to welcome the new junior brother, and at the same time, it also allows the disciples in our sect to gather together. Special instructions, I need you to go back, senior brother Bai."
After hearing this, Bai Qingzhou's face lit up and he smiled and said: "This is a good thing! After a year of recuperation, this is how it should be."
Meng Li sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect time to fly by so fast. Before I knew it, five years had already passed..."
"Yeah..." Bai Qingzhou also fell into memories. During the last immortality conference, he saw with his own eyes that Meng Li, Shi Zhichen and Tang Si successfully ascended to immortality together, and later three more named disciples from the sect successfully ascended to immortality.
That year, they actually produced six cultivators in this period, which was an explosive growth.
"But why do you need me to go back?" Bai Qingzhou asked curiously.
Shi Zhichen shook his head and said: "Deacon Dai said it was the request of the head, but Deacon Dai doesn't know the details."
After saying this, Bai Qingzhou fell into thinking. He didn't know why the leader asked him to go back at this time.
While Bai Qingzhou was still thinking, Shi Zhichen continued: "Brother, there is a second thing..."
The voice interrupted Bai Qingzhou's meditation. He immediately turned back to look at Shi Zhichen, but he couldn't help being shocked because he saw a trace of sadness on Shi Zhichen's face.
Seeing Shi Zhichen's expression, Bai Qingzhou stopped his smile and said slowly: "Junior brother, if you have anything to say, say it directly..."
Meng Li also felt something was wrong and turned to look at Shi Zhichen seriously.
Shi Zhichen paused and said in a deep voice: "The second thing is to attend the funeral of Senior Brother Chen Li..."
"Snapped!"
Bai Qingzhou slapped the table and stood up.
"What?!"
The voice shouted angrily involuntarily.
"How could this happen..." Meng Li murmured for a while, covering her mouth in disbelief.
"Senior Brother Chen's funeral?" Bai Qingzhou shouted angrily, "Xiao Shi, who killed Senior Brother Chen?!"
Hearing this, Shi Zhichen shook his head slowly, with sorrow in his eyes, and said: "That's not true...it was Senior Brother Chen Li who failed to attack the foundation building stage some time ago, causing his body to explode and die..."
Bai Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, his anger immediately disappeared, and he sat back in his chair blankly.
Senior Brother Chen...Failed to build the foundation?
I couldn't help but think of the last time I saw Li Chen...
A flash of inspiration.
Yes, the last time we met, he was here to take over Senior Brother Chen's shop affairs so that he could go back and prepare for foundation building...
Now that one year has passed, this...
Bai Qingzhou was heartbroken and kept thinking of the past...
Chen Li was the deacon who taught the practice, explaining various common sense in the world of cultivation to all the disciples who were starting to learn, and he could also be regarded as Bai Qingzhou's guiding teacher.
It was him who introduced Bai Qingzhou to what the continent beneath his feet was like.
It was him who allowed Bai Qingzhou to establish the proper worldview in his mind.
He is the one who has been silently giving his all to Xuanyang Sect and has always treated every disciple seriously.
Chen Li's face kept appearing in Bai Qingzhou's mind. At this moment, he still couldn't believe it. He shook his head and murmured, "Senior Brother Chen... shouldn't have. How could he explode and die?"
"It's the reason why Senior Brother Chen forced the attack on the foundation. He refused to give up..." Shi Zhichen said slowly.
Bai Qingzhou was silent.
Although there is danger in attacking the foundation building stage, at most it will cause your cultivation level to retreat, and you can't say that you will die at all. You only need to give up when the foundation building is about to fail.
Generally speaking, there will be three opportunities during the foundation building period. After three opportunities, there will be no more opportunities for promotion.
"Senior Brother Chen...did he fail in three attacks?" Bai Qingzhou asked slowly.
"Yes, Senior Brother Chen has been preparing to attack the Foundation Establishment Stage since he returned to the sect. He even prepared two Foundation Establishment Pills, but they failed three times. The last time Senior Brother Chen forced the Foundation Establishment, that's when an accident happened."
Shi Zhichen explained.
Bai Qingzhou and Meng Li looked at each other, their eyes full of regret.
Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Chen Li would leave in this way.
The three of them were silent in the store for a long time.
Finally, Bai Qingzhou broke the silence and asked, "When will Senior Brother Chen's funeral be?"
"The time is set in one month."
"Okay, I understand..." Bai Qingzhou sighed heavily and said, "I will rush back then."
Judging by the time, the Descent Conference is also close to that time period.
"Well, the notification of the matter has arrived, senior brother, I will go back first." Shi Zhichen stood up and said goodbye.
"I'll take you to eat something first. Don't be in such a hurry..." Bai Qingzhou took Shi Zhichen's arm.
"But... I still have to go to Shuiyingfang to inform Junior Brother Fan." Shi Zhichen said with great difficulty.
"It's okay." Bai Qingzhou stood up and said to Meng Li: "Junior Sister Meng, let's take a day off today. Let's take Junior Brother Shi out for a walk."
Meng Li also stood up, nodded slightly, and said softly: "I listen to senior brother..."
"Okay then. Thank you, senior brother and sister." Shi Zhichen agreed.
After that, the three of them closed the shop door and started walking out of the market...
...
In the end, the three of them had a simple meal in the market. Bai Qingzhou bought some gifts for Shi Zhichen. Finally, after giving him a few spirit stones, he sent Shi Zhichen to the spirit boat... This chapter has been completed!
