Seeking Immortality

Looking at the two green slips and a blue bead that Zhang Hualing handed to him, Xu Qingfan took it and looked at Zhang Hualing in confusion, but he didn't know what these were.

Subconsciously, Xu Qingfan used his spiritual consciousness to search for the blue bead in the green slip in his hand. Unsurprisingly, the green slip did indeed record some information. One of the green slips clearly recorded the "No-Phase Jue" that Liu Huaxiang had taught him back then. , but the content recorded in it was slightly different, and after "No Phase Jue", there was also a lot of information recorded, but Xu Qingfan was unable to extract too much at the same time.

The other piece of green slips is protected by an external barrier that prevents Xu Qingfan's consciousness from penetrating. Moreover, according to Xu Qingfan's detection, the confining barrier outside this piece of green slips is very powerful. If he wants to forcibly destroy it, I'm afraid it will be destroyed. The Qing Jian Hui couldn't stand the struggle between Xu Qingfan's consciousness and the confining barrier. The moment the barrier was broken, the Qing Jian would turn into powder.

What frightened Xu Qingfan the most was the blue bead. It was unknown what kind of material it was made of. The whole bead glowed with a blue psychedelic light, which made people look at it and become addicted. Most importantly, In this bead, Xu Qingfan clearly sensed a wave of spiritual consciousness, and this wave of spiritual consciousness was very familiar, and it turned out to be Zhang Hualing's! !

Seeing Xu Qingfan looking at him in surprise and confusion, Zhang Hualing smiled slightly, his expression still calm, but what he said shocked Xu Qingfan.

"The first piece of green slip contains a record of two of Jiuhua's two highest skills, "The Wuxiang Jue" and "The Daitian Jue". After practicing the "Wuxian Jue", the spiritual energy is separated from the five elements. When it is used, It is silent but extremely powerful, and the "Dai Tian Jue" is based on the "Wuxian Jue" and can activate the power of heaven and earth. It is the only supreme skill in the world of immortality. Sect Master Hua can practice. Originally, when I decided to make you the next Sect Master of Jiuhua, these two exercises should have been given to you, but I thought that you were not yet mature enough to give these advanced skills to you too early. There was something wrong with you, so I didn’t give it to you for a long time, but now that you have reached the late stage of Shidan, it’s time to hand over these two techniques to you.”

As he said this, Zhang Hualing was worried. He warned again: "Be careful. Although the "Dai Tian Jue" is extremely powerful, it is not something you can practice now. Forcibly practicing it will only do harm to you but not help at all. You must perfect the "Wuxian Jue" Only by practicing, do you understand?”

After hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Xu Qingfan looked solemn and bowed in response.

Although Xu Qingfan did not want to become a leader who would be subject to endless restrictions, this was a joint arrangement between Liu Huaxiang and Zhang Hualing, and Xu Qingfan did not want Jiuhua to be left alone. Over the years, I have figured out that the worst case scenario is that after Jiuhua is out of trouble, the position of leader will be handed over to someone else. For example, Li Yuhan has a good principle, so when he heard Zhang Hualing's words, he had no intention of resisting.

But what surprised Xu Qingfan was that Zhang Hualing was speechless after introducing the first green slip. Xu Qingfan looked up and found that Zhang Hualing was looking at the other green slip and blue beads in Xu Qingfan's hand, with a frozen expression. It seems that he is wandering far away from home. Beyond the indifferent look, there was a hint of sadness and determination.

"Uncle Master..."

Xu Qingfan called softly, bringing Zhang Hualing back to reality from his fugue.

After waking up. Zhang Hualing smiled faintly, but there was no hint of embarrassment. He did not mention the other piece of green slip and the blue beads. Instead, he changed the subject and said softly: "I failed in the end."

Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Xu Qingfan's body trembled, and there was a look of shock in his eyes. Zhang Hualing's words had no beginning or end. He just said that he failed, but he did not say where he failed at all. But Xu Qingfan knew, When Zhang Hualing was using the evil spells left by Zhang Xusheng to extend his life, his mind was unknowingly invaded by the evil energy contained in the evil spells. For the past thirteen years, Zhang Hualing has been studying the method of expelling these evil spirits from the mind, and Xu Qingfan had often studied with Zhang Hualing in the past few years. At this time, Zhang Hualing suddenly said that he had failed. In all likelihood, he said that he had failed to expel the evil spirits. .

"Master Master, are you saying that you have failed in exorcising evil spirits?" Although he had already guessed this in his heart, Xu Qingfan was unwilling to believe it and asked cautiously.

Zhang Hualing sighed softly and said slowly: "I originally thought of relying on magic to get rid of these evil spirits. In fact, I was wrong. Over the years, the evil spirits in my mind and spirit have not only not been driven out, but have become stronger."

Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Xu Qingfan was speechless. There was a burst of sadness in his heart at first. Although Zhang Hualing was not as good as Li Xuhan in terms of means, vision and cultivation, he did try his best for Jiuhua, but in the end he ended up like this. It was really the ruthless fate of heaven that played a role in people. But after a moment of sadness, Xu Qingfan More importantly, he was thinking about how he and Jiuhua should deal with this situation.

The evil spirit in Zhang Hualing's mind is getting stronger and stronger. Although he still has clear eyes and clear mind now, he may be controlled by the evil spirit at some point. As the head of Jiuhua, he will suffer from the consequences after being controlled by the evil spirit. Loss and harm are not that simple at all. In this case, the safest way is to let Zhang Hualing abdicate and observe carefully.

This is the best method, but this method is not suitable in Jiuhua.

First, Jiuhua is about to be born. Although Zhang Hualing is not as good as Li Xuhan in terms of means, mind and vision, he is still the number one person in Jiuhua in all aspects. Only he can lead Jiuhua through this catastrophe. Although Xu Qingfan has been A lot more mature, but still far from being able to do this.

Secondly, and most importantly, Jiuhua's most famous Sansheng Sixiao, Xu Qingfan's master Lu Huayan died of depletion of longevity, Elder Hou, the elder of the formation guard, was also seriously injured and still needs others to take care of him, and the rest are He died in the last catastrophe, leaving Zhang Hualing alone. After Zhang Hualing abdicated, no one could succeed to the position of leader. The most likely ones were Xu Qingfan and Gongsun Huasuo. However, Gongsun Huasuo lacked temperament and means, and Xu Qingfan did not have enough qualifications and skills. If he was forced to choose between the two, it would still be impossible. It will deepen the conflict between the two generations of elders.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan couldn't help feeling helpless. Although there are other ways to prevent it, the results are not very good.

Seeing that Xu Qingfan's expression was slightly sad, but more solemn and thoughtful, Zhang Hualing nodded with satisfaction. If Xu Qingfan only cared about being sad for his experience at this time, Zhang Hualing would not trust Jiuhua. Give it to Xu Qingfan.

It can be said to be calm, it can be said to be mature, it can also be said to be indifferent, things in the world are like this, if you gain something, you will lose something at the same time. What is gained is mature and at the same time what is lost or more.

After a long time, Xu Qingfan let out a long sigh and asked slowly: "Uncle Master, what should we do now?"

After Zhang Hualing was silent for a moment, he pointed to the other side of the green slip and the blue beads in Xu Qingfan's hand and said, "That's why I will give these two things to you. Remember what I said to you last time when you stopped me from continuing to study those secret techniques. words?"

Xu Qingfan knew that what Zhang Hualing said was the sentence "When that time comes, just kill me." Looking at the green slips and blue beads in his hands, he thought of Zhang Hualing's method for a moment, and his heart became even more sad. He said slowly: "Remember."

Zhang Hualing's expression has returned to normal. He pointed at the blue bead and said: "This bead is my soul bead. Some time ago, I forcibly extracted a part of my soul bead to condense it. Because this bead is My spiritual consciousness is transformed by the soul, so it can be imprisoned in me for a period of time after being used, and my condition can be judged from it. If one day this bead turns red, it means that I am controlled by evil energy. , find me, and then act according to our original agreement."

As he spoke, Zhang Hualing pointed to another imprisoned green slip, with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "As for this imprisoned green slip, it contains my last words. When I die, the outer confinement will disappear. After I crush it, my last words will appear. It contains the reason why you killed me and my decision to make you the leader. It must be in front of most of the elders. Crush it, do you understand?”

Xu Qingfan remained silent for half a minute and killed the head of Jiuhua with his own hands. It was an extremely cruel thing for him, but in the end he said softly: "I understand."

Zhang Hualing, at this time, was already determined to die.

Seeing that Xu Qingfan looked a little disappointed, Zhang Hualing smiled slightly, but rarely patted Xu Qingfan on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I can still suppress the evil thoughts in my heart, maybe I can persist until the catastrophe is over."

Xu Qingfan nodded slightly, knowing that the reason why Zhang Hualing did this was, in addition to the concerns that Xu Qingfan had thought of before, he also wanted to personally lead Jiuhua out of this catastrophe, and he also had the idea of ​​luck in his heart that he could suppress it all the time. I had evil thoughts, so I did this.

Seeing Xu Qingfan silently put the two pieces of green slips and soul beads into his sleeves, Zhang Hualing nodded slightly, but his expression returned to his usual solemn and solemn expression, and said to Xu Qingfan: "Let's go back to the front hall, people are probably already here. All ready.”

With that said, Zhang Hualing walked towards the front hall first, while Xu Qingfan followed silently.
