Taoist Luo turned slightly sideways, glanced at the wooden box on the table, and then sighed and said:
"Alas, when I was at your home, I already told you how to extend your life. Hongxue San and Xiao Huayang Gong have been given to you as an exception, but you have no cultivation qualifications. Even the most basic skills can cause problems. I don't know if I was saving you or harming you by accepting you as a teacher. "Master Luo's words are serious. If it weren't for Master Luo, I would have become a pile of dirt. I will always remember the kindness of my master." Shen Luo shook his head repeatedly.
After hearing this, Taoist Luo looked relieved, showing that he was quite pleased with it.
"Master Luo, I don't know if there is another way. No matter how much the price is, I am willing to pay." Shen Luo said again, and the last two sentences were very emphatic.
"That's all, for your sake, I'm willing to make an exception again. As long as you can perfect the practice of Xiao Huayang Gong within three years, I can help you to beg the master again and let him agree. I will teach you the first level of Chunyang Sword Technique, and we will discuss the price later, but the chance is also slim." Luo Daoren was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said.
Within three years? Didn’t Master Fengyang conclude that I wouldn’t live more than two years?
Shen Luo was confused in his heart, but still thanked him repeatedly.
"You don't have to thank me too much. I can tell you clearly that I am not optimistic about this method. After all, with your qualifications, if you want to perfect the practice of Xiao Huayang Gong within three years, it will be almost impossible. It's impossible. So I advise you, it's better to rest quietly and spend some time looking for the elixir that can extend your life. This is the right way." Master Luo waved his hand and said in a wakeful voice.
"Where can such a living thing be found? Is it possible to see it?" Shen Luo couldn't help but ask.
"If there is one in the temple, why should I ask you to look for it elsewhere? The elixir that can truly prolong life is elusive even for ordinary cultivators. Once it appears, it is basically impossible to find it. It will be snatched by practitioners from all walks of life, and ordinary people will never even see it. Even if they are lucky enough to see it, they may not be able to buy it if they spend all their money." Taoist Luo stood up. He put his hands behind his back and said slowly.
"Gold and silver cannot be purchased, why?" Shen Luo was a little confused.
For these days, he said that he relied on Xiao Huayang Gong and Hongxue Powder to extend his life, but which of these was not bought with a lot of money? The two hundred gold when he entered the temple, and the two thousand taels of silver that his family sent him every year, which one was not his life-sustaining gift?
"You have not yet set foot on this path, so naturally you don't know that these real gold and silver are no different from those stubborn rocks and dead trees in the eyes of those who are truly advanced in practice. Even if there is a need for bartering between them, what they use is The legendary fairy jade." Luo Daoren said.
When Shen Luo heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He actually knew the name of Xianyu. Bai Xiaotian mentioned it to him, and he himself had seen it in some miscellaneous books. It was real fairy money, let aloneIt is the Shen family, a merchant in the county town, and even those business tycoons in the state city may not have seen it before.
"To buy the life-extending elixir, of course you need fairy money..."
Shen Luo felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He seemed to have lost even the last bit of financial resources to rely on. .
Seeing his eyes gradually dimming, a look of intolerance flashed across Taoist Luo's brows.
While Shen Luo was in a state of excitement, something suddenly occurred to him.
The culprit that caused his great loss of energy was that strange jade pillow. Perhaps a solution can be found from this object and a way to save himself. And he can't do anything with this jade pillow, but that doesn't mean others can't?
This thing has greatly reduced his lifespan now. Even if it is a treasure, it is important to save his life first. If that doesn't work, you can use this thing to gain some benefits from contemplation first.
"Master Luo..."
After some hesitation, Shen Luo finally made up his mind and wanted to tentatively mention something about the jade pillow.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a sudden buzzing in his head. A sharp sound that he had never heard before but that almost pierced his eardrums came like a tide, making his eyes suddenly open. Suddenly, he fell to the side.
Daoren Luo was stunned for a moment, but immediately grabbed his shoulder and carried him to a chair to sit down.
When Shen Luo was feeling dizzy, Luo Daoren frowned slightly and held his wrist. He held the three meridians of Cun Guan Chi with three fingers and held his breath to check.
After a moment, he shook his head and let go of his hand.
"A weak and weak pulse is indeed a sign of the backlash of the cultivation technique, and the loss of vitality is considerable. How did you cultivate, and why is this happening?"
Cold sweat dripped from Shen Luo's forehead. , reluctantly talked about some of his daily practice.
"Ah..."
Just when he changed his mind and wanted to mention the jade pillow again, the violent roaring sound in his head suddenly sounded again, making him unable to bear it. He couldn't help but let out a scream.
Taoren Luo looked solemn, and held his back. A red light lit up in his palm, and then a warm current passed into his body from the back of his heart, making Shen Luo feel a warmth. The remaining buzzing sound gradually disappeared.
"What's going on? Could it be..." Shen Luo's body was soaked in cold sweat, and he was terrified.
However, when he once again had the idea of telling the story about the Jade Pillow, the sharp roar sounded in his head again, even more powerful than the previous two times, making him unable to speak at all.
"What's wrong with you?" Luo Daoren also noticed something strange about him and asked.
"My body... my body is a little weak. I think it's... the backlash of my skills..." Shen Luo said breathlessly. He didn't dare to direct his thoughts towards the jade pillow at this moment.
"Stop practicing these days. Take this Hongxue Powder back. Don't take it all at once, but divide it into three times. Otherwise, your body bones may not be able to hold on." Taoist Luo touched it from his arms. He took out a paper bag and stuffed it into Shen Luo's hand, and at the same time, anotherThe palm of his hand glowed red again, and he patted several large acupoints on Shen Hou's back.
"Thank you, Master Luo." Shen Luo took a long time to regain his composure and hurriedly thanked him.
He did not dare to stay any longer. After saying goodbye to Taoist Luo, he said goodbye and left.
Taoren Luo watched Shen Luo's staggering back disappear outside the door, rubbed the gold ingot in his sleeve, and frowned.
"Speaking of which, this guy is quite good. It's a pity... It seems that in two years, we will have to find another registered disciple from a wealthy family..." He muttered to himself. , with a wave of his sleeve, all the four doors inside and outside the house clicked and closed on their own.
......
The night is deep, and the quiet room on the first floor of Qingshiping near the cliff is still lit by candlelight.
Shen Luo was sitting at the table, with the strange jade pillow in front of him. His eyes fell on it, but his eyes were a little wandering.
The things he encountered at Master Luo’s place before were so unbelievable that Shen Luo couldn’t figure out what kind of power was preventing him from telling the secret about the Jade Pillow?
