I can't live forever, so I have to reincarnate infinitely

Chapter 45 The strongest enemy

"Uncle, how are you?" Xia Shouzheng's thin face turned into a bitter gourd, and he tightened his red cloak, looking pitiful.

Sitting across a small tea table and talking hand in hand with him was a handsome old man with a few strands of beard on his chin, who seemed to be carefree.

With a cup of hot tea in his left hand and a jade-like chess piece in his right hand, he frowned and thought.

Hearing this, the old man said casually, "What's wrong?"

"It's not good for you to compete for resources with your disciples and grandchildren."

"Very good. The old man has carefully looked at the rules. There is no rule that does not allow the old man to challenge him. Besides, the old man is not going to compete with him for resources. He is just happy to see Lie Xin. Seeing such good talents and qualities, I can't help but want to compete with him." The old man finally made up his mind and settled down steadily.

Xia Shouzheng's mind wasn't on winning or losing this game of chess at all, he made a casual move, and tried to persuade him: "Uncle, can we have a private discussion."

The old man smiled faintly, "Speaking in private, what good will it do me if I win?"

"Master, you just said that you just want to learn from Lie Xin, why do you want to benefit?"

The old man pondered for a while, then stroked the wide sleeve of his right hand with his left hand, picked up a chess piece with his right hand, and put it down gracefully, "Old man, I am a half-buried person myself, but I can't help it, and my descendants, as well as old friends, are all counting on me. I want to be a free and easy person, but who in the world can be completely satisfied."

"Uncle, can't you give in a step?"

The old man was not angry, but just smiled and said, "I always have to give up this, and I have to give up that. Who gave me back then? Could it be that I really don't have the right to take that Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"Uncle, it's meaningless to talk about these old things."

"I'm old, old people always like nostalgia, you can bear it."

At the end of a game of chess, the old man still refused to give in.

Xia Shouzheng could only leave in disappointment.

When he was about to leave, the old man stopped him, "Tell you, kid, I know that his alchemy is actually only a second-level high-grade, it is best not to compete with the old man in alchemy; if you can't refine a middle-grade spirit tool, then don't compete with the old man."

Xia Shouzheng shook his cloak, feeling listless, shook his head and said, "Master, it's really not good for you to do this. We didn't think about it before, and the old people of your generation will come to fight for this."

The old man said lightly, "It's your lack of consideration, and it's not my fault."

~
The next day, Mingfa Hall.

Du Youqian looked at the old man carefully.

He had heard a little about the old man's reputation.

Pei Guangming, a very impressive name.

After getting started, his reputation has never been obvious, and he is in the middle and upper echelons, obviously not in the ranks of "geniuses".

Unexpectedly, this person has accumulated a lot of money, and before the age of 120, he can use Qi training to complete his cultivation, and improve his weapon refining technique to the second-level mid-level, and alchemy to the second-level top level, which is simply a miracle.

It shows that this person is a genius at all.

However, this genius was buried.

Possessing second-tier middle-grade weapon refining skills and second-tier top-grade alchemy skills, even if Pei Guangming went to third-tier or even second-tier sects, he could still receive courtesy.

Du Youqian chatted with Xia Shouzheng for a long time last night, and learned about Pei Guangming's past.

When he was young, he had a firm heart of Dao, devoted himself to cultivation, and only sought the Dao, and he was dismissive of those cultivation skills that waste time.

But Pei Guangming was unlucky, and happened to encounter the downturn period of the sect.

The ancestor of the Chongxuan sect used to be rich, and was once ranked as a second-class sect, and there were two great supernatural beings in the Jindan realm sitting in the sect.

However, due to some accidents, the two golden elixirs fell one after another, and a large number of foundations were completed, and in the later period, they were either broken or left the sect, and the successors were not cultivated.

When Pei Guangming was young, Chongxuanzong almost couldn't maintain the minimum size of 10 foundation-building monks, and fell from the fourth-class sect to the fifth-class.

At that time, the sect's resources were scarce, and the only way to train disciples was to select the best.

Disciples like Pei Guangming, who were not so amazing when they were young, can only be wasted step by step.

He had reached the perfection of qi training in his early 50s, which is actually very good, but he was never assigned a foundation building pill.

It was also bad luck to go out and bump into opportunities, and missed the 60-year-old deadline.

With no hope for his path, he could only put his feelings on his cultivation skills, which opened a door for him.

Only then did the senior sect realize that they had made a wrong decision.

A genius who could have led the sect to rise could only stop here.

If Pei Guangming was given a Foundation Establishment Pill back then, would he be able to successfully establish the foundation?

Can you practice to the peak of foundation building?
Can his alchemy and weapon refining skills break through to the third level, or even the fourth level?

These are all too intriguing.

It was also because the senior sect leaders owed Pei Guangming a little.

This time Pei Guangming understood that he wanted to use the big to bully the small, and the senior officials did not stop him.

And Pei Guangming is undoubtedly the strongest in the "enemy pool" that Du Youqian faces.

If he can successfully defeat Pei Guangming, Du Youqian will not encounter any resistance in the future.

The pressure is on Du Youqian's side... no wonder.

Du Youqian's state of mind is very peaceful.

He has already enjoyed seven years of true inheritance treatment, and he has obviously earned it.

In the past seven years, he has accumulated a lot of cultivation resources, not only exercises and secret techniques, but also all kinds of precious private notes, knowledge, and history, which have enriched his background.

He believed that in his next reincarnation, he would be able to go further.

As for this life, even if the true identity is lost, it is not a big deal.

Maybe even a good thing.

Although no one has come to remind him yet.

But Du Youqian wanted to come, he enjoyed so many high-quality resources of the school, how can he repay in the future?

Especially, if you can't break through to Foundation Establishment.

At that time, I was afraid that I would be deeply tied up, and I would be locked up in a small black room every day to refine alchemy for the sect, and I would not be given food if I did not refine a certain amount, so as to repay the high-quality resources I enjoy now.

Therefore, Du Youqian didn't care about winning or losing at all.

He was the one who really wanted to compete with Pei Guangming and enjoy the process.

Of course, you can't take the initiative to seek abuse.

When choosing a challenge method, he didn't choose alchemy, let alone weapon refining.

Although in fact, no matter whether it is a competition for alchemy or weapon refining, he is more than [-]% sure, because the challenge rules are determined by himself.

But listen to people's advice and have a full meal.

So he chose...

"Array?" The vice-master of Mingfa Palace was full of suspicion. He wondered if he had heard hallucinations. "Are you sure you want to compete with Uncle Pei?"

"I'm sure," Du Youqian nodded and observed Pei Guangming with a smile, "Uncle Pei, please give me your advice."

Judging from Xia Shouzheng's lineage, he is Pei Guangming's disciple and grandson.

But Du Youqian also enjoys the treatment of a true disciple, which is equivalent to the elder of the sect, and is automatically promoted by a generation.

So after thinking about it, it would be more appropriate for him to call Uncle Pei Guangming.
