Chapter 20: The Crane Grows

Lie Teng shook his head, Tsing Yi stared at him wide-eyed, and listened carefully.

"Because the six layers are a cycle, only the six layers can be completed before the next layer can be entered. The old man said slowly. It seems that he is too old, making it a little difficult for the old man to speak, and after a pause, the old man said: "You compress the spiritual power in your body, until you can't compress it, condense the spiritual power, and compress it until the Danhai is filled, so that you have a chance to impact the second layer, remember, there is only a chance, some things can't be explained, you need to understand it yourself." ”

"Compress spiritual power?" Lie Teng's eyes flashed, and he secretly said in his heart, looking at the old man's old appearance, Lie Teng was a little suspicious, and said, "Uncle Shi, your body... How are you getting more and more..."

"Hehe, it's not long before my limit is reached. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been arranged here. The old man said vicissitudes, and there was a lot of helplessness and bitterness in his voice.

The old man's words made Lie Teng like a lightning strike, his face was extremely pale, and he exclaimed: "Senior Uncle, aren't our cultivators living with the sky?

Unless you reach the Great Enlightenment Period, you will have a life limit. The old man sighed.

"Years?" Lie Teng was shocked in his heart, after Lie Teng came to the cultivation world, he always thought that he had a lot of time, and he was no longer like before he only turned into a pile of loess after only a few decades, at this time, what the old man said made Lie Teng's heart full of horror, thinking that his revenge had not yet been avenged, Lie Teng's heart twitched, suppressing the emotions in his heart, Lie Teng said: "Uncle Shi, can you tell Qingyun, what is the age limit?"

"If you reach enlightenment, you can live for a hundred years, the life span of the spirit gathering period is two hundred years, the Dan period is five hundred years, the life span of the Dan infant is two thousand years, and the broken sky is five thousand years, and reaching enlightenment is the same life as the sky!" The old man sighed, he had been cultivating for nearly two hundred years, and in the end he still had to end up with a pile of loess.

"Can the Spirit Gathering Period live for two hundred years?" Lie Teng said in surprise, his face softening slightly.

"Do you think two hundred years is a lot? The old man has been cultivating for one hundred and eighty-eight years since he was ten years old, but his cultivation is still at the peak of the sixth layer of the Gathering Spirit, and he has never been able to break through. Qingyun, cultivation is difficult and abnormal, and you can't break through by hard work, you have to understand. The old man said solemnly.

Lie Teng's heart was full of shock, he hadn't broken through the Gathering Spirit in one hundred and eighty-eight years of cultivation? Seeing Lie Teng's face, the old man smiled indifferently and said: "The first three layers of cultivation are a small hurdle, and the last three layers are a big hurdle, many cultivators are trapped in these two hurdles, there are nearly a thousand masters of the sixth layer of my puppet sect Gathering Spirit, but there are less than twenty masters in the Gathering Dan Period, Qingyun, cultivate well, maybe one day, you will be able to break through the Gathering Spirits and reach the realm of Gathering Spirits." ”

Lie Teng didn't listen to the old man's words, his mind kept buzzing, the old man's words peaked Lie Teng's cognition, and it made Lie Teng even more worried, if... If he doesn't reach the knot in two hundred years, then he will inevitably die of old age, and he will not be able to avenge his father and eldest brother. Lie Teng's forehead was already secreting sweat the size of beans, his face was extremely pale, and his body trembled slightly.

"Brother Qingyun, what's wrong with you?" Tsing Yi said anxiously when he saw Lie Teng like this.

The old man sighed, thinking about how bold he was when his blood and qi were strong, but now he has to accept the fate of facing death, looking at Lie Teng's appearance, the old man is a little unbearable, and sighed: "You are still young, and there are still more than 100 years to impact the Dan period, so cultivate well." You still have a chance. The old man shook his head decadently.

Lie Teng nodded, looked at the old man with bloodshot eyes, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you uncle, Qingyun will work hard to cultivate." The voice was firm, but it showed the determination in Lieteng's heart.

Immediately, Lie Teng slowly left with Tsing Yi, and when Lie Teng stepped out of the door, the old man looked at Lie Teng's back, as if he had made some kind of decision, and said, "Qingyun, are you willing to be my disciple?"

Lie Teng's body, which was still half a moment after raising his feet, was like a lightning strike, and he stayed there, and after reacting, Lie Teng turned to look at the old man and knelt on his knees: "Qingyun is willing." ”

From now on, you will be my only apprentice. The old man saw Lie Teng agree, his face showed a look of joy, slowly stood up, strode towards Lie Teng, the old man wanted to accept Lie Teng as an apprentice is just a whim, he only has two years of time, as the saying goes, life does not bring, death does not bring, and the surname of Lie Teng is very appreciative, although he used to be an elite disciple, but now he said, arranged here, but is not respected by other disciples, Lie Teng is still the first person to call him a master, since then, the old man can't help but remember Lie Teng, now said Lie Teng came, looking at Lie Teng's face after hearing about life, sighed in his heart, I don't want Lie Teng to follow in his footsteps, so the idea of accepting apprentices aroseOriginally, the old man didn't have any hope that Lie Teng would agree, after all, he was about to die of old age, and besides, the disciples of the puppet sect could only apprentice to one person, once his limit had arrived, then Lie Teng could not apprentice and could only rely on himself to grope for himself.

At the moment when Lie Teng knelt down, Changhezi seemed to have regained his vitality, his body was not tall and a little rickety, the complexion on his face was slightly improved, his cloudy eyes bloomed, and he strode in front of Lie Teng and said, "Qingyun, from now on, you are the only apprentice of my Changhezi." ”

"Qingyun greets the master!" Lie Teng knelt down and bowed, knocking nine times in a row. The ground thumped violently.

"Good, good, good! I didn't expect that before I died, God would give me a disciple. Changhezi seemed to be very excited, and his body trembled slightly.

Tsing Yi stood aside with joy and said, "Congratulations to my brother, congratulations to my grandfather." ”

Lie Teng glanced at Tsing Yi, looked at Changhezi, and said, "Master, you still have two years to live, why don't you try to break through in these two years?"

"Apprentice, if you haven't broken through in the last ten years of your life, it can be said that it has become a foregone conclusion, and it is difficult to make a difference, the old man only has two years left, and there is no hope of a breakthrough, but let the old man die and accept you today. Disciple, go and pack up and take you to my former place of residence for the teacher. Changhezi said.

"Hmm" Lie Teng nodded in agreement, and hurriedly left with Tsing Yi and went to the small courtyard to clean up.

Watching Lie Teng and Tsing Yi leave, Changhezi thought for a moment and said, "You two come in and tell your master that from now on, the old man will not be here, and ask him to let the rest of the people come and guard here." ”

"Yes. There was a sound of harmony outside, and then the long crane walked into the room and cleaned up.

In less than half an hour, Lie Teng came to the front of the Tibetan Ware Pavilion with Tsing Yi, and Changhezi was already waiting for them, seeing Lieteng coming, Changhezi smiled gently, pinched his right hand, and a spirit sword about five feet long floated under his feet, and said, "Follow the teacher." ”

Lie Teng nodded, controlled the spirit sword to fly upward, Qingyi grabbed Lie Teng's right hand, her face was full of joy, she vaguely sensed that from now on, Brother Qingyun would not be bullied.

Under the leadership of Changhezi, Lie Teng and Tsing Yi flew towards the peak for the first time, about half an hour later, Chang Hezi stopped, landed on the avenue, in front of nearly 100 buildings, and two middle-aged men in black guarded the gate of this place, they are the ones who prevent ordinary disciples from entering this place, seeing Chang Hezi, the two men looked at Lie Teng and Tsing Yi, one of the men in black said: "Uncle, who are they?"

"Old man, apprentice!" Changhezi said in a flat tone.

"Oh, so it's a junior brother?" The two men in black glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths showed a mockery, but it was only a flash, and then, another man in black frowned slightly: "When did Uncle Shi accept the apprentice?" ”
