Devil reborn

The third floor of Liao's residence is a forbidden place in the hearts of the servants of the Liao family. You must never set foot in it privately on weekdays!

At this moment, there is nothing in the mysterious room in the hearts of the servants, all the furniture and furnishings have disappeared, and there are only two spirit gathering arrays of the same size in the wide open space, where the nearby spirit energy is continuously gathering here , Remove the dross and extract the essence, leaving only the purest aura for practitioners to absorb after passing through the spirit gathering array.

Liao Jiandong finished his practice for nearly a night first, and the mental methods running in the sea of ​​consciousness gradually stopped.He took a deep breath, and felt that his whole body was full of energy, his ears were clear and his eyes were clear, and his meridians were filled with sufficient aura. His whole body was like a container filled with clear water after being replaced by submerged water. He looked fresh and comfortable. feel.

At this moment, he has cultivated to the state of Dzogchen in the Qi refining period, and he can attack the foundation at any time!

"Come here." A low voice called from a little behind.

Luo Chen slowly woke up from the meditation, first checked the small restrictions around his spirit gathering array, and after making sure that the puppet did not act rashly while he was in the meditation, he beckoned and called the person.

Liao Jiandong turned his back to him, put away the gleam in his eyes, and when he turned his head, he was still the puppet who was obedient to his master without any resistance.

He walked over, stepped into the spirit-gathering array as usual, sat opposite the boy, and waited for the boy's movements, showing no trace of resistance or dissatisfaction in his emotions.

Luo Chen was still satisfied with the obedient puppet in front of him. He first tested his cultivation, and then ordered the other party to use the exercises at the same time, absorbing [-]% of Liao Jiandong's spiritual energy infused into the meridians, then stopped, and said :

"Okay, now that you have reached the state of Dzogchen in your qi training period, you are ready to realize the foundation building at any time, and the spiritual energy in the meridians should not be too little." After thinking about it, he added: "You don't need to double practice with me before building the foundation."

"Yes! Thank you, Master!"

Luo Chen hummed, glanced at him indifferently, threw a bottle of elixir to the other party, and then closed his eyes and meditated again. The aura in it.

Behind him, a pair of eyes that had been closed just now suddenly opened, Luo Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he coldly looked at the person diagonally ahead - this position was the most convenient for him to quickly deal with the opponent in case something happened to the puppet.

Even if it was a contract that everyone in the comprehension world knew that there would be no problems, he still couldn't rest assured, he had to observe and test it from time to time.

In the realm of self-cultivation, there are two types of cauldrons, one is low-level, low-talented, and the cultivation level will not increase much, but because of the special spiritual root that can improve the cultivation level of monks, it is reduced to a cauldron.The monks will only blindly absorb the aura in the cauldron meridian as much as possible to supplement themselves.But it won't take long before the cauldron will be unable to practice due to the exhaustion of aura and damage to the meridians.

There is another kind of high level, just like Liao Jiandong at this time, the talents of spiritual roots are all high-level, and there are good skills passed down from family, so it is not difficult to improve one's cultivation base.As a cauldron, it can also supply him with the improvement of the cultivator's cultivation level, which can be said to be rare in the world of comprehension.

Opportunities come with risks. Because the cultivation level of the high-level cauldron is constantly improving, once its own cultivation level surpasses that of the person who controls him, the situation will immediately turn upside down.After the cultivator lost control of the cauldron, it was natural that he would immediately be retaliated wildly by the opponent.Therefore, very few people keep this kind of cauldron. They are afraid that if one day the cultivation of the cauldron is accidentally improved, they will be wiped out instead.

Luo Chen is now relying on the Illusory True Soul Art to detect Liao Jiandong's cultivation and control him at any time. He was at ease, but now he is observing more, thinking that Liao Jiandong's every move can't be hidden from him!

Early this morning, Liao Jiandong vaguely felt that the time for foundation building was approaching, and he cared about his own interests. Luo Chen also attached great importance to this foundation building. Then go to the place that has been arranged and take Zhuji Dan to start retreat.As for Luo Xianjun—naturally, he wanted to keep an eye on his cauldron at all times, in case something happened out of his control.

Unexpectedly, just as the two were about to leave, a servant handed over a letter of greeting from Mount Qingcheng.

Qingsong Layman, the acting head of Qingcheng Mountain, requested a visit the next day, and bluntly said that he followed his brother Qingbai Layman's instructions before retreating, and came to visit specially.

Luo Chen is still very afraid of the Qingbai Layman in the Golden Core Stage in Qingcheng Mountain, and he doesn't know how well this Qingsong Layman is, so he frowned and signaled Liao Jiandong to come down first.

There are many disputes among the monks, maybe they will meet each other at any time, and he has long wanted to explore this Taoist sect.

After the time was agreed upon by post exchanges, Layman Qingsong arrived as scheduled, and was led to the living room by Liao Si steward himself. After entering, he saw a tall, handsome, mature man and a handsome young man with a slightly gloomy and indifferent demeanor waiting for him. got there.

Now in front of the guests, Liao Jiandong is the well-behaved and majestic head of the Liao family again.

He first greeted this cultivator who didn't know how old he was with the junior ceremony, and after inviting him to sit down and enjoy tea, he introduced his beloved son to him with a smile——

"This is the dog Luo Chen."

Although Luo Chen's current cultivation base is only at the middle level of foundation building, his spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful. He can tell at a glance that the Qingsong layman in front of him is at the level of Dzogchen in the foundation building period, so he can't help but brace himself to deal with it carefully.

Among the monks, even if their cultivation bases are only one realm away, their strength is still like a moat.In the foundation-building period, even if his cultivation was not as good as Luo Xianjun's in his previous life, at this moment, this person could seriously injure him with a wave of his hand!

"I've seen Layman Qingsong." The fourth young master of the Liao family, who has always had a bad temper and would poison himself to death with a single mouthful, stood beside his father like an unsociable boy, asked a little hello coldly, and then lowered his voice. The head no longer squeaks.

Liao Jiandong patted the young man's head dotingly when he saw it, and greeted Layman Qingsong by himself: "This kid is spoiled by me, and he has a shy temper. He has always been unwilling to talk to strangers. I hope Layman will forgive him."

"Where, where," layman Qingsong said with a very good-natured smile: "We cultivators practice against the sky, and we have to face all kinds of difficulties on our own. After a long time, we naturally have a personality different from ordinary people."

Liao Jiandong smiled, and followed the other party's meaning: "Although this child is not good at socializing, he is talented in cultivation. Now he is two levels higher than my father. I am really ashamed."

Layman Qingsong's heart moved, and he said casually: "I see that Liao Xiaoyou has only practiced for less than ten years now, and he has already reached the state of Dzogchen Qi training period. It is really amazing." He paused, his brows trembled slightly, The tone was like chatting and continued to sigh: "It seems that just like what the senior brother said, the dual cultivation skills passed down by the Liao family's ancestors are really extraordinary, and they are matched with the spiritual roots bestowed by the two friends. Naturally, the speed of practice is much faster than mine. I am envious. come."

Mentioning the Liao family's secret double cultivation method, Liao Jiandong's heart rang an alarm, and he tried quietly: "It's all thanks to the afterglow of the ancestors, it's nothing, but a monk like a layman who is about to win the alchemy by virtue of his own power, is really called People admire!"

"Haha, Patriarch Liao praised you absurdly. If you say that, then I, Qingcheng Mountain, should be the most admirable senior brother!"

"That's right. Lay Qingbai is also a benefactor of my Liao family. If he hadn't recognized that my father and son can practice in time, I am afraid that the current situation would not be like this."

Layman Qingsong's eyes darkened, anger flashed in his heart, but he nodded and smiled on his face: "Exactly, senior brother has the most accurate vision. Now it seems that Luo Xiaoyou's talent is even better. He has already practiced for less than ten years. Intermediate foundation building, let me, who has practiced for nearly 50 years to see the consummation, really feel ashamed."

These words seem to be a compliment, but in fact, after thinking about it, they are somewhat provocative—the father and son are practicing at the same time, and they are also a pair of monks. One has not yet established a foundation, and the other has already established a middle-level foundation, and they are placed on ordinary people. , the one who has not yet established the foundation may feel angry in his heart after hearing this!

If the situation is more serious, there will be suspicions against the Taoist couple, so sooner or later there will be problems between the two of them.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly majestic and extremely controlling Patriarch of the Liao family laughed, and held his youngest son's hand tenderly and dotingly said: "Si'er has been smart since he was a child, and he is much better than my father. Nowadays, the world is difficult and dangerous. The path of cultivation is extremely difficult, and I will be relieved if he is stronger." There was not even the slightest trace of provocation in his speech.

Luo Chen also raised his head to look at him at the right time, and complained as if he was extremely dependent: "What did Dad say? Don't tell me you won't protect me if I'm not strong?"

The young man who was indifferent to outsiders acted coquettishly in front of his father, which showed how good the relationship between the two was.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, dad will naturally do his best to protect my fourth son." The Patriarch of the Liao family smiled comfortably, looking very satisfied.

On the other hand, Layman Qingsong, after Luo Chen opened his mouth to show his trust and dependence on his father, his complexion has not been very good. The warm and affectionate conversation between father and son is like a thorn in his heart, making him very uncomfortable.

He still had an honest and kind look on his face, smiled and took out a lot of elixir made by the Qingcheng Mountain Alchemy and gave them to the two, exchanged a few words, politely declined the other party's polite request on the grounds that affairs in the mountain cannot be separated from people Leave the meal and leave on your own.

After this person left, the young man who was still smiling shyly at his father just now turned his face coldly, and looked at the direction in which Layman Qingsong left, with a trace of cruelty in his eyes.

"There is something wrong with this person, and troubles will inevitably arise in time, so we can't keep him."
