The Path to Becoming Immortal

In the dormitory, Ning Ping woke up with a pale face, feeling exhausted and had to support his body with his hands, panting like a stranded fish.

After witnessing the unknown scene of his master, Ning Ping was extremely frightened and looked around at a loss, fearing that the terrifying black shadow would follow him.

He panted for a long time before he came to his senses. A gust of morning wind blew in from the window, and he felt a chill on his body. He looked down and found that his whole body was wet with sweat. He could only smile helplessly and calmed down completely.

At this point, he also became deeply wary of Yang Qizhen.

It's better not to know some things. If you know them, it's like planting a thorn in your heart. And you can't tell anyone yet, it can only be a secret buried deep in your heart.

At this moment of calming down, Ning Ping even wondered whether he should be glad that he had this strange ability of the soul.

Without this ability, maybe I can still live in Chunhui Valley without any heart or lungs, but the problem is that after witnessing this scene, can I still pretend that I didn't see it? That's obviously impossible.

Leave here~ A voice emerged in my heart and quickly occupied my entire mind, and my mind was instantly full of this thought.

At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted Ning Ping's thinking and pulled Ning Ping back to reality.

"Why did you wake up so early~ Oh..." Guozi propped himself up in a daze, but he suddenly woke up when he saw Ning Ping's expression.

"You~ What's wrong with you?" Guozi woke up instantly, and saw Ning Ping on the opposite side sweating, pale, and haggard.

"Oh, it's okay, I just had a nightmare and woke up." At this moment, Ning Ping also hoped that what he saw just now was a nightmare, but unfortunately... it was not.

"That's good, I thought you were sick. Well, then get up, this sleep is really comfortable." Guozi stretched heartlessly, getting up early on a rare day.

Ning Ping was in a daze the whole morning, his mind was still full of the scene last night, but fortunately, the task assigned to him today was to sort out the medicinal field, which was the Qianling herb field that had been picked yesterday.

It took a whole day to deal with this small piece of land, which was quite relaxing. This was also because Hua Wenyao was praised by his master yesterday, and he liked Ning Ping and Guozi, so he generously handed this light work to the two of them, which he considered as a reward.

Who would have thought that at lunch time, the news of last night's incident would also be spread.

When eating in the cafeteria at noon, Yi Qingsheng was sitting next to him. Now Ning Ping also knew that this was the big mouth in the whole dormitory. He didn't know how this kid knew about all the big and small things in the whole Chunhui Valley. But he was not a bad person, he just liked to play tricks, just like the last time due to the task transfer, he and Guozi almost got into trouble when they went to take care of the Qianling grass.

"Hey, do you know that Master's furnace exploded again when he was refining the elixir last night. This time it's terrible~" Yi Qingsheng said in a low voice.

Everyone around the long table pricked up their ears. Ning Ping in particular even stopped eating and listened carefully.

"What's wrong? Isn't it common for furnaces to explode?" Guozi said curiously, not thinking there was anything wrong.

"Hehe, you don't know this, do you?" Yi Qingsheng smiled mysteriously and continued, "I heard that the furnace explosion killed the senior brother this time."

"What? Senior brother? Which senior brother?" The people on the side were extremely surprised.

"Hush, keep your voice down, you are looking for death, we still have a few senior brothers, that is, Senior Brother Lu Xuan. I heard that he was watching and learning when the master was refining the elixir, but he was too close to the furnace explosion and was directly blown to death. It was tragic that all his internal organs were blown into powder, his whole body was charred, and his body was blown into several pieces." Yi Qingsheng boasted vividly, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

"Master is very sad today. He was going to start the furnace again in the morning, but he stopped. I heard that the senior brother will be buried today..."

"So alchemy is very dangerous. Didn't I hear that several people were killed by explosions before..."

Ning Ping, who saw the whole process at the scene, knew that he was talking nonsense, so he couldn't listen to the bragging afterwards. But after hearing him say that people were killed by explosions before, he thought of another aspect.

That is why Yang Qizhen wanted to harm senior brother Lu Xuan in the name of alchemy. Now he has a general idea in his mind.

That is, alchemy is just an excuse. Killing or disappearing for no reason is never a good thing for a sect. And killing without reason will definitely cause panic among everyone. Judging from the situation, the old thief must have killed more than one person.

When he thought of this, an idea suddenly came to his mind. Ning Ping suddenly felt his scalp tingling and his face changed instantly. But then he realized that he was in the cafeteria at the moment. He hurriedly looked around like a thief. Fortunately, everyone was attracted by Yi Qingsheng's words and no one noticed him.

What Ning Ping thought of just now made him feel horrified. There were basically few old people in the entire Chunhui Valley. They were all young people in their teens and twenties. After thinking about it, he was afraid that except for Yang Qizheng, the oldest one was probably Uncle An who was in charge of logistics and chores.

But Chunhui Valley has always been there, and people will always grow up. What about those people? The more Ning Ping thought about it, the more shocked he was.

Continuing to think along this line of thinking, weren't the two uncles Wen Tiangong and Yan Chengzhou who brought him into the sect given to Yang Qizheng as gifts? We need to understand all of this and find a way to escape from here as soon as possible.

This meal was like chewing wax, but fortunately, the small medicinal field was almost finished in one morning. Within an hour, Ningping and Guozi sat in the hut to rest.

"I didn't expect that senior brother would die like this." Ning Ping started talking casually.

"Hey, who says it's not the case? Senior brother is quite a nice person and has never beaten or scolded us fellow disciples." Guozi looked regretful.

"Did people often die while refining alchemy in the past?" Ning Ping sat up straight and got to the point.

"Yes, I heard that several senior brothers also died in furnace explosions. Hey, I didn't expect that alchemy can be so dangerous. It seems that it is best to stop thinking about it."

"Well, that's true, who would have expected it." Ning Ping sighed as he said it, and suddenly asked as if he thought of something again: "By the way, I want to go outside to play, how can I get out. "

Unexpectedly, when Guoduo heard this, he immediately sat up and looked around in panic. Only when he saw that there was no one around did he say nervously.
