Chapter 2 First Breakthrough in Three Years
"Ah!!!"
Chu Chen shouted, waking up from the endless darkness, what he saw in the darkness was just too real.
The shock brought to him by that withered figure sitting in the darkness was just too drastic. That was Daoist Hongjun! The legendary supreme figure who had opened up the heavens and transformed the Heavenly Dao in his body! Yet, he had fallen on top of that ancient immortal mountain!
"Brother Chu, you're awake!"
A cry of surprise accompanied by the faint scent of a young girl's body poured into her nostrils, and when her consciousness returned, she saw a pretty face full of childishness appear in front of her.
The young girl choked and said, "I thought ... thought I would never see you again!"
"No ... it's fine, only had a rather long dream." Chu Chen patted his head, some heartache reached out his sleeve and wiped the teardrops on the young girl's face, "Meng'er, you saved my life again, all these years, I don't know how many times I've been saved by you, my brother is very useless ah ..."
The young girl pounced into Chu Chen's arms with force, her hands tightly hugging him, lest a loose hand Chu Chen would disappear like.
Chu Chen's nose was suddenly a little sour, this silly girl, did too much for herself, all of it, in fact, he knew.
She was obviously a once-in-a-century cultivation genius, for fear of entering the inner sect and separating from herself, not only did she conceal her realm, but she also deliberately slowed down her cultivation speed.
She still thought she didn't know, in fact, whenever she thought of these things, her heart felt guilty that she had dragged her down.
Back then, when she first entered the door, because of the unkempt face, she was like a little beggar, and no one cared about her when she was sick, and she was the only one who didn't mind that she was dirty, and took good care of her.
Unexpectedly, this simple little girl decided to follow her for the rest of her life, but what qualifications does a useless person like himself have to make her follow him for the rest of his life?
Thinking of this Chu Chen could not help but be gloomy again.
"I have long known that brother Chu's good fortune will turn into good fortune, you have just recovered from a serious illness, your body is still a bit weak, lie on the bed and don't move around."
Chu Chen realized that after Junior Sister Tong Meng left his arms, she had been blocking in front of herself, as if she was trying to cover something from her eyes, never willing to move her body.
"Meng'er, get out of the way."
Under Chu Chen's repeated requests, the young girl reluctantly moved her body away, allowing Chu Chen to see a room full of wolves, clothes and books thrown all over the place.
"Where is my medicine hoe?"
"It was ... borrowed by Senior Brother Zhang ...," the young girl's face swelled red, obviously panicked.
"The brass case I brought from my old home?"
"Borrowed ... borrowed out." The young girl's eyes double already filled with tears, couldn't stop shaking her head.
"Then where is my Green Destiny Sword? Where did the sect's native sword that was issued to every disciple upon entry go?" Chu Chen's eyes were already filled with grief and indignation, and his five fingers gripping the edge of the bed looked like they were going to sink deep into it.
The young girl could no longer hold back and cried out with a wow, a pearly pretty face shaking uncontrollably, "Brother Chu, don't be anxious, the things will all be retrieved."
"Meng'er, be honest with me, is it that Eldest Senior Brother Yao Jinghai had someone do it?"
Tong Meng hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Chu Chen instantly felt a surge of air clogging in his chest, he couldn't even breathe smoothly, he knew that Outer Sect Eldest Senior Brother Yao Jinghai had always regarded himself as a thorn in his side, as he had asked several times to become a daoist couple with the extremely gifted Tong Meng, all of which had been rejected by Tong Meng without any hesitation.
After inquiring from multiple sources and knowing that Tong Meng liked him, he had been looking for various opportunities to oust himself from the sect.
"Senior brother Yao received news and heard that brother Chu's fortunes had turned for the better and his body had turned for the better, so ..." Tong Meng stammered, "so he took advantage of my absence and sent someone to throw brother Chu's things and sword out, saying that ... said that anyway, brother Chu's things and sword had been thrown out. Said ... that anyway, brother Chu can't pay all the example medicine this time, and will definitely roll away ... can first clear out the small courtyard where brother Chu lives ..."
"Ping!"
Chu Chen hammered his fist on the wall with force, blood immediately seeped out from the back of his hand, he couldn't feel the pain in his hand at all, he only felt his chest was so tight that he couldn't breathe.
"Brother Chu, don't be in a hurry, the things I've already asked someone to look for them in the back mountain dump, and I'll go look for them again myself." The young girl who wiped her tears, simply did not know how to comfort Chu Chen.
"No need, you've been taking care of me all these days, you're already tired, go and have a good rest." Chu Chen let out a long sigh and leaned disheveledly against the bed.
"I'm not tired." The young girl gently shook her head, a hint of stubbornness appearing in her eyes, then sat down beside Chu Chen to take his pulse, and after confirming that his physical condition was fine, she slowly stood up.
"Brother Chu has just recovered from a serious illness, his body is still a bit weak, lie on the bed and don't move around, rest well. I want to go out for two days, and then fight some of your favorite wild food to make up for your body, be good and wait for me at home oh."
Repeatedly checking to confirm that Chu Chen was really fine, the look on the young girl's face relaxed quite a bit, and she got up and prepared to go outside.
"Wait a moment."
"Brother Chu, what's wrong?" The young girl turned her head and gently asked.
"Meng'er ... You're not going to hunt some wild game, you're going to collect medicine for me, right? This month's routine medicine, you yourself haven't even gotten enough ... you don't pick it for me, I'll think of a way myself."
Chu Chen looked at the young girl's petite figure, his eyes were filled with bitterness, he didn't want to be a parasite, and he didn't want to drag her down anymore.
The young girl froze for a moment, face slightly a touch of haze, but quickly disappeared, smiled, "Don't worry, brother Chu, routine medicine and what not you don't have to care, the most important thing now is to get well, I'm going to go and come."
The young girl said and ran out as if fleeing, as if she was afraid of being caught by Chu Chen, her beautiful figure quickly disappearing from sight.
"Meng'er, you silly girl ..."
Chu Chen sighed, his heart was extremely bitter, there were only five days left before the deadline for handing over the example medicine, although the youngest senior sister had already given herself all the medicine that she had collected, the spirit medicine that was to be handed over was still short by one pound.
Both of them had surprisingly bad luck this month, and without any surprises, no matter what, they couldn't even make up a single person's share.
Last month getting help from the junior sister had already attracted the attention of the outer sect elders. This month, the youngest sister also for his own directly refused to hand over her share of the spirit medicine, really can not even drag her down again.
After this experience between life and death, although Chu Chen was still obsessed with cultivation, it seemed that he should not be so obsessed with staying in the Bi Quan Immortal Sect.
But how could he leave, if he was kicked out of the sect, the outer sect's eldest senior brother Yao Jinghai, this legendary genius who had cultivated to the Spirit Water Realm in only one year after entering the sect that year, would surely make a move against his youngest sister.
No matter what he himself could not be driven out of the sect, otherwise what would the little senior sister do?
Other people had already condensed Spiritual Water in a year, and he himself was still stuck at the initial second level of the Spiritual Qi Realm after three years, a complete difference in the world!
However, the self that was dipped into the black mist, clearly should have died for sure, and experienced an out-of-body experience, and now miraculously came back to life.
What was strange was that the body didn't have any discomfort? Other than being somewhat weak.
Chu Chen felt that if he had survived a great disaster, he should have gritted his teeth and persevered regardless of how difficult the situation was.
After lying all uncomfortable in bed for a long time, Chu Chen decided that he should continue to do the first thing that he would do every day when he woke up, which was to cultivate.
Although cultivation was basically doing nothing for himself, how he refined was stagnant at the second level of the Aura Realm.
However, Chu Chen's heart was very clear, insisting on cultivation might still have a one in a million chance of improvement, but if he gave up cultivation, there would never be a possibility of improvement.
Chu Chen sat on his knees, slowly closed his eyes, began to harness the "Spirit Drawing Skill", and quickly settled down.
The surroundings were terribly quiet. Too wrong, in the past, as soon as he settled down, the countless air currents in the void around his body came roaring in like a tsunami, quickly drowning himself.
But now, that violent air current all disappeared, he sensed the space around his body, countless points of light, like the aura of the sky like starlight.
What exactly had happened? After a fall, his perception had changed?
Chu Chen once again drove his "Spirit Drawing Skill", and his qi sea became like a powerful black hole, and the "spiritual light" in the sky was all sucked into his qi sea.
Chu Chen had an indescribable comfort, as the "Spiritual Qi" that was constantly being sucked into his body, part of it was washing and refining his skin, flesh, blood, sinews and bones at a rapid speed, while most of it was transformed into the True Spirit of Life in the sea of qi.
In about less than three hours, a dazzling white boundary-breaking aura rushed out from his body.
Chu Chen almost went crazy, breaking through so simply?
This was too unreal! Was he dreaming? Where on earth did it go wrong!
