The Name of Eternity

Chapter 428 Three Years

Wang Lao was amused by Li Hao's statement and said: "You are interesting, then do whatever you want. It is rare to be able to have such a peaceful mind in front of the Immortal Emperor Taoism, neither anxious nor impatient. No wonder you have the eternal Taoist heart." ”

The previous Nine Rings of Heaven and Earth and Eternal Dao Heart made him admire Li Hao extremely.

After all, having such a character at the Saint level was a rare talent even in the heyday before the Battle of Emperor Luo.

"Then senior agrees?"

Li Hao's eyes brightened slightly.

"If you really want to learn, I can also teach you. What I grow here are not rice and wheat ears, but elixirs and herbs."

Wang Lao smiled and said: "If you can really learn it, it can be regarded as a craft. If the real world still has the three-point prosperity of the past, it will be enough for you to be regarded as a distinguished guest and the ultimate immortal king in many immortal sects. "

Li Hao was surprised. He didn't expect that the other party's immortal medicine cultivation technology was so strong. With this cultivation technique alone, he could be comparable to the status of the Immortal Lord. How powerful is that?

"Then thank you senior for teaching me."

Li Hao bowed his hands and wanted to salute.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Wang waved his hand and said: "If you can pass the three tests, you will be the registered disciple of the Immortal Emperor. There is no need to give this gift to me. If you cannot pass, I will accept this gift from you again."

After Li Hao heard this, he no longer adhered to this false courtesy, but in his heart he had a lot of respect for this old senior.

"Then I will teach you how to recognize the elixir first..."

Wang Lao chuckled, cultivating elixirs was his pleasure, and when he talked about this, the smile on his face was a little stronger than usual.

Li Hao was led by him to the fields, acres and acres of fertile land, in which the fairy medicine and divine grass exuded a hazy vision. Li Hao saw the avenue in the void like floating catkins, falling around the fairy medicine, like a Only gentle bare hands gently caress and hold these magical herbs in the fields.

"This is the Immortal Grass of Eternal Life. It can absorb the energy of heaven and earth. It can grow well without watering and cultivation. But if it can be cultivated, it will be nourished by the source of the golden path, which will transform it into the Immortal Leaf of Eternity. It is the perfect elixir for refining eternity. core material…”

Wang Lao took Li Hao to the edge of the field, pointed at a fairy grass, and introduced it to Li Hao.

When Li Hao saw him, he had a kind look on his face. He looked at these fairy medicines and herbs in the fields as if he were his own children.

He was very interested and felt that cultivating the elixir was also an interesting thing.

However, it seems that it cannot be included in his panel, and it does not fall under the category of artistry.

But Li Hao didn't care about this. He sat on the edge of the field with Wang Lao and listened to him talk about the cultivation process of these fairy herbs and the interesting things that happened in the past.

The sun rises and sets, and the sun, moon, and stars alternate here. Li Hao asked curiously, and Wang Lao said that the stars in the sky evolved by themselves from the temple spirits of Tianshang Palace.

The stars are by no means a beautiful display, nor do they allow the sun and moon to alternate and the stars to shine in the world, but a large array of stars that can make the power of Tianshang Palace last forever.

Time flies.

Li Hao no longer sat on the futon to learn Taoism. Instead, he sat on the ridge of the field, chatting and laughing, and learning about various elixirs from Wang Lao.

The two of them were like two farmers, with no image at all. Li Hao rolled up the sleeves of his clothes and tied his trouser legs on his thighs. His feet were covered in mud and they were swinging in the field. From time to time, small black ants-like insects were seen walking along the mud. Climbing onto his lap, this was no ordinary insect, but a special spiritual insect carefully cultivated by Wang Lao.

This insect can stimulate the growth of the elixir, and can also eat up the moist and dark places in the elixir, improving the quality of the elixir.

In his spare time while studying farming, Li Hao casually asked Wang Lao if he could play chess. Wang Lao smiled and asked, is it possible that you can?

As soon as Li Hao heard this posture, he took out the chessboard from the space of heaven and earth and wanted to compete with Wang Lao.

Wang Lao was surprised to see that Li Hao really had a chessboard with him. Then he laughed, opened his sleeves, and sat in front of the house with Li Hao. He placed the chessboard on a wooden pile that was used to cut firewood, and the old man and the young man played against each other. stand up.

Li Hao was full of confidence and wanted to give this extremely advanced senior a little bit of a shock with his chess skills. As a result, Taeko fell and was killed, leaving nothing behind. It was as if he had sent the chess piece to the opponent's hand on his own initiative. It was a favorable situation, but it changed in an instant according to the opponent's moves.

Going to the back, Li Hao became a little suspicious of life. He couldn't understand the advantages and disadvantages of the chessboard, and he hesitated in making moves.

After losing three games in a row, Li Hao was a little confused. This was the first time that he had been defeated so miserably on the chess circuit.

Wang Lao smiled and Nadeko closed his eyes and said: "Your chess skills are extremely rare, but if you want to beat me, you'd better live another hundred thousand years."

He said, laughing loudly, his expression showing satisfaction.

Li Hao, on the other hand, had a dark face. He could lose in a martial arts contest, but he could never lose in chess.

He touched his chin and put his hand on his chin, reviewing the chess game just now in his mind.

If his chess technique lies in the exquisite layout, then the opponent's chess technique is like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace to be found.

After a night's rest, Li Hao continued to pester Wang Lao to compete the next day.

After losing four or five games in a row, Li Hao finally got a glimpse of Wang Lao's chess strategy. As a piece blocked it, it landed in a very inconspicuous place. Wang Lao let out a light sigh when he saw it, took a closer look, and then After looking at Li Hao, I couldn't help but sigh, this kid's understanding is really high!

But on the chess track, he would not give in.

As the pieces fell one after another, the game was quickly killed.

Li Hao felt as if he had been punched twice. He held his breath and almost vomited blood.

Seeing Li Hao's aggrieved look, Mr. Wang smiled even more heartily and said, "Do you want to come again?"

"Come!"

Li Hao was more serious and considered his decisions more carefully.

Then, the loss was even worse.

An old man and a young man were having a fierce game in front of the house. On the futon, a figure suddenly opened his eyes. His reserved aura escaped slightly. A ray of light burst out in his eyes, and he looked up at the black tower in front of him.

Then, he seemed to think of something and turned around to look. He couldn't find the figure on the futon, and his eyes immediately shifted to the front of the house.

On the wooden piles in front of the house, an old man and a young man were sitting there with their backs in an imageless manner, staring at the chessboard with all their concentration.

The old man was calm and smiling, but the young man was scratching his head and scratching his head with an extremely solemn expression. He looked unfocused and seemed to be putting all his attention into it.

Seeing this scene, Ming Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly. In the middle of his previous enlightenment, he thought of that young man, whom he had seen several times. Every time he saw him, he was either sitting on the field ridge talking and laughing with Mr. Wang, or in front of the house, the two of them When we play chess, we never see each other sitting on the futon.

Not practicing?

Or do you want to use this to please Mr. Wang, and want to learn from him and gain experience?

The corner of Ming Sheng's mouth curled up slightly with a sneer. When he first came here, he was always around Wang Lao, busying around, serving tea and pouring water, beating his legs and rubbing his shoulders, showing all his hospitality. However, although Wang Lao enjoyed it, he also treated him He was very friendly, but told him clearly that he would not impart any tips related to the test.

This is the Dao constraint left by the Immortal Emperor to the other party. At the same time, even if there is no Dao Dao constraint, Wang Lao does not intend to reveal that the respect he has for the Immortal Emperor from the bottom of his heart transcends everything and everything and will never be blasphemed.

After becoming enlightened, he also saw other saints retracing his path, but still getting the same results.

Now, this new evildoer also wants to take this shortcut, but it is obvious that he has made a mistake.

With the talent of the other party, if he practices honestly, he still has a chance to catch up with them, but now he wants to take a wrong path and waste time, then he can only feel embarrassed.

Ming Sheng stood up and headed towards the Black Tower.

A saint noticed his aura leaving, opened his eyes and looked around, and immediately said: "The Ming Sage is going to challenge the 'True Lord Tower'."

After hearing his words, other saints who were not deeply enlightened also restrained their minds, opened their eyes and looked solemn. If the other party passes, it will go to the third step, and the gap will become very large.

Among them, the shepherd with snowy hair sitting in front also opened a slit of his eyes slightly and looked at the back coldly.

Among the many saints, only he and Ming Sheng regarded each other as their strong rivals in the second step of the test. After all, there is only one copy of the Immortal Emperor's orthodoxy. Once obtained, they will skyrocket and have a foothold as a living being in the true world. The foundation of the above.

And once you fail, you will only become one of the many true immortals, and even pursuing the immortal king will become distant and difficult. The gap is too big.

"Huh? Why is that guy still playing chess with Mr. Wang?"

At this time, someone noticed Li Hao, but saw that he was not on the futon, but still hanging out with Mr. Wang.

Although Wang Lao is extremely powerful and a being that they cannot look up to, Wang Lao cannot help them in the test, nor can he provide guidance or relevant hints, so they have no time to talk to this strong man.

"I guess I want Mr. Wang to give me some advice, but it's useless."

Someone shook his head and said, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Luo Sheng, Dong Dao, Chen Baoyu and other saints who had talked to Li Hao before could not help but sigh inwardly but did not say anything. Although they had a good impression of Li Hao, Li Hao was also a competitor to them. , to remind the other party now is to help this most potential competitor get on the right track.

Flower Saint and You Sheng looked at each other, and You Sheng suddenly sent a message to Li Hao, saying:

"Mingsheng is going to challenge the True Lord Tower. If he passes, he may take the lead in the third test. Then Wang Lao will teach him the way to become an immortal."

Li Hao, who was playing chess and thinking intently, had no awareness of external things. His mind seemed to be immersed in the chessboard in front of him. In an absolute mental space, there was only the chessboard in front of him, lined up in the starry sky, and he Sitting in front of him was a giant on the chess track, looking down at him.

This kind of suppression of chess power forced Li Hao to deal with it wholeheartedly, so that he could lose less quickly.

"Mingsheng is going to challenge Zhenzun Tower, aren't you anxious?"

At this time, Wang Lao also noticed the movement on the other side of the futon, looked up, and smiled at Li Hao eagerly.

Li Hao felt a roar from the giant above his head. He was slightly startled and suddenly came back from his thoughts.

When he saw Wang Lao's expression, he followed his gesture and turned to look at the black tower in the distance, just in time to see a saint walking into the tower.

"oh."

Li Hao glanced at it, then turned his head and continued to focus on the chessboard.

At this moment, he just wanted to unblock this chess game.

"Haotian, did you hear what I said? Although Mr. Wang is a very nice person, he won't help you in terms of cultivation."

At this time, You Sheng’s voice transmission sounded again.

Li Hao heard this this time and turned around to look. He saw You Sheng and Hua Sheng both looking at him with worried faces. He was stunned for a moment before he understood what they were thinking. He immediately smiled and said:

"Don't worry, when I can win Wanglao, I will come to practice."

If he can beat Wang Lao, he feels that his chess skills may break through to the eleventh level.

"this…"

You Sheng was slightly stunned, a little dumbfounded. Is playing chess really so charming that it can eclipse even the Immortal Emperor?

Li Hao withdrew his gaze and stared at the chessboard. His mind was immersed in it again, and he was completely unaware of the perception of external objects.

He pondered deeply, but Wang Lao was waiting for Li Hao's move. He looked at the young man in front of him with interest. He was not pretending, but he really didn't have any urgency. Wang Lao smiled slightly. Although it was a bit delayed to ask Li Hao to accompany him, he also saw that the qualifications of those saints were difficult to make big progress in a short time. When Li Hao's interest faded, he would choose a suitable one. Time, let Li Hao practice honestly.

Among so many testers, the one he valued the most was the young man in front of him. Although he could not give him hints or make suggestions, he could at least urge him to practice.

At the futon, many people were silently calculating the time for Ming Sheng's challenge.

Not long after, Mingsheng came out of the Zhenzun Tower.

"It's been longer than last time. It seems that Ming Sheng has not been affected at all and has made a breakthrough!"

"Indeed, that person took the wrong path. He wanted to please Wang Lao and wasted his own time. My mood has also recovered."

"Tingwang Lao said that if he can pass, his combat sense will reach an extremely exaggerated level. This is not a combat skill. Skill is the accumulation of experience, but sense of smell is an extraordinary combat ability that changes rapidly and requires special methods. can be cultivated.”

"We have to work hard. Don't wait for Mingsheng to really take the third step and practice the way to become an immortal. We are still thinking about the method of becoming an immortal."

Many saints looked solemnly and looked away from the returning Ming Sage. Then they closed their eyes and began to practice. Some smiled and congratulated the Ming Sage.

Ming Sheng's face showed no joy and anger, and was rather cold. Although he lasted longer this time, he felt that he was still far away from defeat. He had already saved the day several times out of desperation, but it was not enough.

He turned around and glanced at the figure in front of the house. When he saw that the other person was staring at the chessboard with no trace of anything else in his eyes, he couldn't help but frown slightly and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly put it away and turned back to himself. On the futon, continue to meditate.

Time passes slowly.

It is very quiet here, and occasionally the laughter of an old man and a young man can be heard, which is slightly louder.

But everyone's practice is covered by the Dao realm. Unless there are changes in certain breaths or just sounds, it will not interfere or affect them.

In the past, when everyone was practicing, there was only the occasional sound of Mr. Wang digging the ground with his hoe, and the sound of running water from the creek outside the field. But now, this paradise-like place has a more populated feel.

One year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Hao's chess skills improved to the ninth level, but he still suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Wang Lao and never won once.

Li Hao had never lost so miserably. He thought about painting in his free time, but his mind was completely occupied by the losing chess game. He couldn't think of it normally, and he tried to understand the painting with little success.

The more I lose, the more I want to fight again, like an addiction. On the contrary, I look forward to my old age. I won too much. When I usually play chess with Li Hao, I still have the thought to water the fields and gather the avenues to nourish the elixir. When he comes back after finishing the matter, I see Before Li Hao could make a move, he made himself some tea and rubbed the mud between his toes.

After Li Hao spent a long time to drop a piece, he quickly threw another piece. The young man's smile suddenly stiffened, and then he fell into deep thought again.

Seeing such a change in the opponent's expression, Wang Lao also felt a little amused. He had never seen a guy who cared so much about chess skills. If it were someone else, he would have won the pot and lost the boredom, but the young man in front of him had that unsatisfactory feeling. The feeling of giving in and holding back a lot of energy always made him want to continue to win against the opponent.

Well, even though it was cruel, he didn't like the feeling of losing either.

Two more years passed.

In front of the house, next to the chess game, the young man was concentrating on his moves.

Suddenly, at the futon in the distance, a powerful spear intent condensed and suddenly erupted, as if it was about to pierce the sky.

This powerful spear intention affected the mind of the young man who was thinking in front of the chessboard and turned his head to look.

"Finally, there is the third person who has perfected the Wan Zhan Immortal Technique." Mr. Wang glanced at him, with a smile on his lips.
