Xiuxian: Start with the medicine boy

Chapter 1312: Passing away and returning!
Hidden Immortal Island, main hall.

Cheng Buzheng looked at the emaciated Cheng Liu and sighed softly:

"Liu'er, why do you still cling to what happened back then?"

"What's more!
I have never blamed you!"

"On the contrary, you were able to cut off your own path to immortality, refine the essence of the Nascent Soul, and support the family."

"this point.

I am not as good as you."

"How can I have the face to blame you!"

Hear this.

Cheng Liu seemed to have let go of the obsession in his heart, and the guilt he had felt for many years was finally relieved. A blush appeared on his face.

Even his energy and spirit suddenly became much more abundant.

"Thank you, ancestor!"

"Liu'er's life is worth it."

Then, he said with emotion:

"My worries are over. Now I can leave with peace of mind!"

"Old Patriarch..."

"grandfather!"

"···"

After these words were spoken, everyone looked sad, not knowing what to do.
See this.

Cheng Buzheng looked at Cheng Liu, who looked relieved, with a complicated expression. He said nothing, only let out a sigh.

The voice contained a complex array of emotions.

There is reluctance, sadness, and even more helpless sadness...
Looking at her husband's appearance, Murong Wanwan couldn't help but hold his hand tightly, as if to say: I am still here!
the other side.

Seeing everyone like this, Cheng Liu said calmly:
“Human power is limited, life is finite, this is the law of nature!
Even those of us who attempt to defy the mortal world and become immortals will eventually die.

So, there is no need to be sad!"

"Old Patriarch..."

Having said that, the sadness revealed in everyone's eyes could not be concealed, and some of the descendants who came to pay their respects could not help but sob quietly.

In this regard.

Cheng Liu ignored him and looked at Cheng Changyuan and said:
"The family tradition was established by our ancestors, and I have been protecting it for many years. From now on, this responsibility will be handed over to you, so take care of yourself!"

Say it.

Cheng Liu closed his eyes without caring about everyone's reactions.

next interest.

A ray of light rose from the flow and floated out.

this moment.

Cheng Liu's last bit of life quickly disappeared.

call!
Everyone was stunned, and before they could come to their senses, they saw a breeze blowing in from the temple entrance.

With that, everything drifted away and was blown away by the wind.

"Old patriarch!"

"grandfather!"

"···"

Saw this scene.

Cheng Buzheng slowly closed his eyes which were filled with dim light.

Afterwards, he ignored the people who were crying, whether sincerely or not, and stood up and walked out of the hall.

When Murong Wanwan saw her husband walking out with a lonely look, she couldn't help but follow him.

outside the temple.

A gentle breeze is blowing!

The long hair in front of Cheng Buzheng's forehead was scattered to one side. At this moment, his eyes were unfocused as he stared at the distant horizon.

at this time···
A soft sigh sounded in Cheng Buzheng's ears.

"Time is merciless, and no one is without regrets on the road to immortality!"

Murong Wanwan couldn't help but comfort her.

Hear the words.

Cheng Buzheng sighed and said:

"Yes!"

"Time is merciless. You and I are just ants struggling on the path of cultivating immortality, hoping to achieve immortality, to ascend to the immortal world."

"However, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up."

Also at this moment.

Cheng Buzheng became more determined to live his life again and embark on the path to immortality.

Therefore, he wanted to become stronger. He didn't want to have regrets forever, nor did he want to feel helpless like he is today.

He wants to practice step by step to reach the highest level and take control of his destiny.

····
A few days later!
Cheng Liu's body turned into a handful of ashes in the fierce spiritual fire and was finally put into a jade box.

The reason for doing so is naturally because they are afraid that the family will decline in the future and attract powerful demons to dig up the tombs of their ancestors.

after all.

The physical body of a pseudo-dan realm cultivator is no different from that of a real golden elixir realm cultivator.

It still has the characteristics of an incorruptible corpse and being as hard as treasure.

Even hundreds of years later, it still possesses terrifying power.

Once it is obtained by a corpse-refining monk of the demonic sect, he can definitely use it to refine a demonic corpse with considerable power.

If it was the remains of a powerful Yuanying realm master, it would be even more terrifying.

A hundred years of immortality is just a common occurrence.

Even thousands of years later, the remains of Nascent Soul masters still possess extremely terrifying defensive power.

It’s almost the same as a magic weapon.

of course.

Under the erosion of time, even magic weapons will eventually turn into dust.

The remains of the natural monks are no exception.

However, this will take a long time.

Therefore.

Cremation of the body.

It is not only a custom in the world of immortal cultivation.

Similarly, many monks who are nearing the end of their lives will cremate themselves before they take their last breath to prevent their bodies from being defiled by villains.

However, there are exceptions...

Before some monks die, they are worried about their descendants, so they will refine their own bodies into zombies before their life ends.

After his death, he was directly refined into a powerful corpse as the final trump card left for future generations.

Most of those who would do so are immortal cultivators.

Ordinary independent cultivators, or even cultivators from a sect, would never do this.

the other side.

When Cheng Buzheng, Murong Wanwan, and a group of descendants of Yinxian Island looked at the jade box containing Cheng Liu's ashes and placed it in the tomb that had been built long ago...

When the descendants of the Cheng family in front saw this, they immediately knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

"Ancestor..."

"Old Patriarch..."

Cheng Buzheng said nothing and just watched quietly, while Murong Wanwan also held his hand tightly.

After a long time.

He took Murong Wanwan and slowly left the cemetery filled with a heavy atmosphere of sadness and walked outside.

·······
The next day.

Hidden Immortal Island, main hall.

Cheng Buzheng looked at Cheng Changyuan in front of him and said slowly:

“From now on, you three Jindan cultivators only need to know of my existence!
Don’t disclose this to your clan members, lest the younger generations become arrogant.”

Hear the words.

Cheng Changyuan, Cheng Changsong, and Cheng Changming, who were standing with their heads bowed, immediately responded:

"Yes! We will obey the orders of our ancestor!"

"..."

Obviously.

The three Jindan cultivators knew clearly that although the Yuanying cultivator in front of them was the ancestor of the Cheng family, their blood relationship with the ancestor was separated by many generations.
Naturally, there is no family affection anymore.

In addition, now that Patriarch Liu has passed away, the relationship has become even more distant.

Moreover, not only is the family unable to help the ancestor with cultivation resources, but the ancestor needs to pay for it. Without close transfer of benefits, they don’t know how long this relationship can last?

The key point is that the ancestor has no descendants.

otherwise.

The interaction between the two veins may even lead to some kind of friendship.

It is a pity that the ancestor has no offspring so far.

Because of this, they naturally did not dare to ask for more.

I also understand the meaning of the ancestor's words.

Although it has the meaning of hiding one's identity, it also has a potential alienation connotation.

See this scene.

Cheng Buzheng nodded and said:

"certainly!
If it comes to a critical moment, I will not stand idly by."

Followed by.

Cheng Buzheng said again:
"However, in the next hundred years or so, I will be in seclusion to practice. If there is a crisis in the clan, you can ask for help from my Taoist partner."

"Yes! I understand!
Trivial matters in leisure time will never disturb the ancestor's meditation.

I won't bother my grandmother!"

Then, they bowed to Murong Wanwan again.

Seeing this, Murong Wanwan stretched out her hand and lifted the three of them up with an invisible force, saying softly:

"No need to be so polite, I am also your grandmother!
Don't listen to your ancestors, if you have any problem, just come to me."

at this time···
A familiar voice sounded in Cheng Changyuan's heart.

Hear this.

Cheng Changyuan nodded slightly, then took out a storage bag and handed it to Cheng Buzheng.

the other side.

After Cheng Buzheng took the storage bag, he glanced at the three Jindan realm juniors and said:

"We have been staying here for quite a while!"

"It's time for me to leave!"

"I entrust the family to you."

"Yes! We will never let the ancestor down!"

"..."

The three of them said in unison.

Seeing this, Cheng Buzheng nodded slightly, then looked at Murong Wanwan's soul puppet incarnation on the side and said:

"Wanwan, let's go!"

"Ok!"

Immediately.

Cheng Buzheng took his wife's hand and walked out of the hall with the three Jindan monks seeing them off.

Then he stretched out his hand and flipped...

A golden boat was suspended in the air.

next moment.

Cheng Buzheng and Murong Wanwan have appeared in the boat.

Then, the light boat emitted a golden light, and the void was shaken.

A moment later, a golden rainbow light passed through the island protection formation that had been opened long ago and disappeared at the end of the sky.

Looking at the light disappearing at the end of the sky, Cheng Changsong retracted his gaze, sighed and said:

"It would be great if the ancestor could be as easy to talk to as the grandmother!"

Hear the words.

Cheng Changming shook his head and said:

"How can it be!"

"The ancestor is extremely talented, how could he just sit there and not walk the path of immortality?"

"And you also got to know the old ancestor's temperament before he passed away!"

"So, don't think about these impossible things."

At this time.

Cheng Changsong seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Cheng Changyuan with a hint of curiosity and asked:
"By the way, what's in the storage bag that you handed to me just now, Brother Chang Yuan?"

"Yes!" Cheng Changming echoed:
"I'm a little curious too!"

"A nod again, and a storage bag?"

"What kind of riddle are you playing?"

Hear the words.

Cheng Changyuan chuckled and said:

"You want to know?"

"Ok!"

"I'm a little curious!"

Cheng Changyuan said mysteriously:

“I want to know!

Then I will wait until you break through the Nascent Soul stage and become the clan's great elder, and I will tell you the truth."

Seeing their disappointed expressions, Cheng Changyuan added another sentence for the sake of past friendship and the stability of the clan:

"But not now."

"It's not that I'm worried about you, but it's the clan rule!"

"Before the old patriarch passed away, he personally set a limit for my brother's soul seed."

"And this is the only secret. Apart from the clan leader, I can only tell the Grand Elder."

"certainly.

Even if it is the Grand Elder, if he wants to know this secret, he must engrave this secret into the Soul Seed Restriction Regulations. "

"So if you want to know, then practice hard and strive to break through the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible!"

"Remember, this secret, apart from the clan leader, is only known by the Great Elder. The Second Great Elder is not an exception!"

"so.

Only one of you can know."

"Practice harder!"

The words fell.

Cheng Changyuan disappeared outside the hall in a flash.

Looking at Cheng Changyuan who disappeared on the spot, Cheng Changming couldn't help but frowned and said:

"What a secret, it's so mysterious!"

"Is there any secret in the clan that we don't know?"

"It is limited to the clan leader and the future great elder."

Hear the words.

Cheng Changsong pondered for a while, and then said:
“Maybe there is!”

"Haven't you always been curious about where Grandfather got the [Broken Golden Pill], as well as the elixir and magic weapon for improving cultivation?"

"Maybe it has something to do with this secret."

"And it may be related to the ancestor."

"That being said, it's really possible!"

"..."

Just as Cheng Changsong and Cheng Changming were discussing...

Cheng Buzheng and Murong Wanwan have arrived at the underground square of the deserted island.

The light flashes.

Then two figures appeared.

Murong Wanwan glanced around, her eyes fell on the black stone bars surrounding the area, and exclaimed:

"My husband, you are so generous!"

"They actually used the [Soul Forbidden Stone] to wrap up this underground square."

"If you hadn't brought me here in person, even if I had just passed by this island, I would never have noticed that there was such a scene underground."

Cheng Buzheng shook his head and said:

"You guessed wrong!"

"Your husband doesn't have such a big heart."

Followed by.

Cheng Buzheng told his wife how he obtained the secret realm teleportation array when he was in the Qi Refining Stage.

After hearing her husband's story, Murong Wanwan finally understood what had happened.

Although she had heard her husband talk about the secret realm before, she didn't know how she got this opportunity.

same.

She hasn't been here either.

Therefore, Murong Wanwan was a little curious for a moment.

soon.

Her eyes fell on the ancient formation located in the center of the square and she asked:
"Is this the ancient teleportation array?"

Murong Wanwan walked forward and looked at him carefully.

Cheng Buzheng just responded with a smile.

Followed by.

He spoke again:

"Wanwan, take out that jade bottle."

Hearing this, Murong Wanwan seemed to have thought of something and shook her head:
"I don't need the teleportation array."

"So there is no need to specially adjust the restrictions of the teleportation array."

this moment.

Murong Wanwan also knew why she had to force out her spiritual blood before setting off.

Obviously.

This was a plan that had been prepared long ago!
Seeing this, Cheng Buzheng shook his head and said:
“Maybe it will come in handy!”

"Have you forgotten that you promised Liu'er that you would take care of the younger generation of the Endless Sea lineage?"

"If the Hidden Immortal Island clan urgently needs your support during my transformation into a mortal, and you cannot use this teleportation array, what will you do?"

This statement came out.

Murong Wanwan did not hesitate and took out the jade bottle immediately.

Immediately.

Cheng Buzheng waved his hand...

A drop of blood containing extremely rich spiritual energy emerged from the mouth of the bottle!
Under Cheng Buzheng's control...

It instantly turned into strands of blood and sank into the ancient teleportation array.

Then, the teleportation array seemed to be activated, emitting a faint white light.

Countless runes wandered in the fluorescent light.

But if you look closely, each rune is glowing with a hint of blood.

As the magic spells in Cheng Buzheng's hands continued to change, the blood threads and the teleportation runes gradually merged together.

Not long after.

The streaks of blood completely merged with the runes.

Then, the teleportation array emitted a bright white light, and then retracted, returning to its original ordinary appearance.

Simultaneously.

Also at this moment.

Cheng Buzheng also stopped what he was doing.
