"So, how should I address my senior?" Chen Qingyuan was tactful and didn't pursue further."You can call me the cripple." The old man glanced down, pointed at his broken right leg and the crutch in his hand, and said calmly."How can I do that?" Chen Qingyuan didn't dare to address such a mysterious senior as the cripple. It would be easy to offend people.
"It doesn't matter." The old man didn't care about this title and had a indifferent expression.Next, the old man arranged a place for Chen Qingyuan to stay. First, he would wait for a while. He had to go out for a trip to prepare some things for Chen Qingyuan to reshape his foundation."Thank you, senior."
Chen Qingyuan cupped his fists and said."This is what I should do."The old man bowed in return and then turned and left.In the messy courtyard, Chen Qingyuan looked around and saw spider webs in the corner, yellowed dead leaves in the flowerpot, and stone slabs on the yellow mud ground.
Following the stone path under his feet, Chen Qingyuan saw a woodshed, which was filled with a lot of dry firewood."Strange." Chen Qingyuan murmured in confusion, "Why is the senior's lifestyle no different from ordinary people?"After Chen Qingyuan's observation, the furnishings in this courtyard were all ordinary things, wooden tables and chairs, covered with dust.
After taking a look at the woodshed, Chen Qingyuan walked to the other side.Compared to the simple woodshed, Chen Qingyuan would rather walk in the garden and enjoy the scenery.Chen Qingyuan is now an ordinary person and needs to go out to buy some food every day. After living here for ten days, he is quite familiar with the nearby streets.
The autumn wind is rustling and the cold is coming. Chen Qingyuan decides to cook porridge to warm his body.Coming to the woodshed, Chen Qingyuan was about to light a fire when he found a broken sword for chopping firewood in the pile of firewood. Instantly, he became interested.
"This is..." The broken sword is about two feet long. It is rusty and has a dark black color. There are traces of years everywhere. Chen Qingyuan carefully observed it for a while and found that this broken sword is not an ordinary thing, but he can't tell what's specific about it.
Chen Qingyuan squatted down and reached for the black broken sword on the ground.As his fingertip touched it, Chen Qingyuan suddenly felt his body sink. It was as if an infinite mountain was pressing on his chest. A feeling of suffocation came over him.
This feeling became stronger and stronger. Sweat broke out densely on Chen Qingyuan's forehead.Just when Chen Qingyuan decided to use his trump card from the Tianyuan Forbidden Area, a breeze blew into the woodshed.Instantly, the pressure from the black broken sword disappeared without a trace. Chen Qingyuan withdrew his hand, his expression tense.
"Sir, I'm back."At the same time, the old man walked into the courtyard with a crutch in his hand, his hands empty.Chen Qingyuan walked out of the woodshed and faced the old man. Without hiding anything, he said directly, "Just now, thanks to senior's help. Otherwise, I would be in trouble.""A broken sword can't hurt sir."
The old man's face was full of wrinkles and he smiled slightly."If this is a broken sword, then there may be no real swords in the world."Although Chen Qingyuan has lost his cultivation now, he can still see the horror of the black broken sword."Sir is joking."
A sword is already like this. Then how powerful is the old man who owns this sword?"Did senior have any gains on this trip?"
Chen Qingyuan didn't continue to delve into it and changed the topic."Don't worry, sir. Everything is fine."
The old man nodded slowly.In that year, in the Tianyuan Forbidden Area, Chen Qingyuan met a girl in red. Her origin is mysterious and her strength is unfathomable.
The girl in red cut off Chen Qingyuan's spiritual root and scattered his cultivation.Later, the girl in red gave Chen Qingyuan a wooden plaque and asked him to find this old man after leaving the forbidden area. He could reshape his foundation and improve his talent.
The old man opened a dusty secret room. Inside, there was a bathtub made of ice stones. Cold air filled every corner of the secret room.
Taking out various medicinal herbs and things needed, the old man asked Chen Qingyuan to take off his upper clothes and sit in the ice bucket.
Chen Qingyuan did as the old man said and sat in the ice bucket waiting calmly.
"Recently, I heard about something. The Xiaoyi Palace and the Tianyu Sect are about to marry. Does sir know about this?"
The old man was fiddling with the medicinal herbs while speaking in a hoarse voice.
"I know." Chen Qingyuan nodded slightly."Do I need to do anything?"
This trip out, the old man found out everything about Chen Qingyuan. In addition to this, the old man also went to the edge of the Tianyuan Forbidden Area.
"No need." Chen Qingyuan shook his head. "Since it's over, senior doesn't need to worry.""Good."
The old man put various precious medicinal herbs into the ice bucket. His 浑浊 eyes seemed to see through everything in the world.Chen Qingyuan looked at these medicinal herbs and was extremely surprised."A little red cloud, octagonal black leaf, blue vine..."
At a glance, these are all extremely precious treasures in the world. They are hard to find. There are also very rare treasures. Although Chen Qingyuan can't name them, their value must be higher."Sir, reshaping the foundation may be painful."
The old man kindly reminded."Senior, just do it. I can bear it."Chen Qingyuan nodded firmly and was ready.So, the old man's body began to surge with majestic spiritual energy. The floor of the secret room flashed with light, and an ancient array pattern appeared.
Then, the old man slapped his right palm on the ice bucket and activated the big array with his left palm downwards.Buzz—
It seemed that thousands of stars appeared above the secret room, rippling with a vast starry sky. For a moment, Chen Qingyuan felt the sky and earth spin. His body was imprisoned and he couldn't move.
As time passed, Chen Qingyuan even felt his soul leave his body and be cut by countless small knives. The pain was extremely intense. He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
Chen Qingyuan clenched his teeth and was sweating profusely. The pain was still intensifying, gradually making Chen Qingyuan unable to hold on to his original intention.
The old man didn't stop and coldly watched Chen Qingyuan suffering.
After a full hour, Chen Qingyuan's face was distorted in pain. His skin split open and his flesh was bloody. If you look carefully, you can see his internal organs through the split flesh, which is shocking.A wisp of pure light appeared at Chen Qingyuan's chest, as if it was a seed."The time has come."
The old man's expression changed and he quickly took a step forward.
Thick cold air wrapped Chen Qingyuan. The blood and medicinal herbs merged together, thick and scarlet, making people shudder when they saw it."Appear!"
The old man formed seals with both hands, and a black box appeared in front of him.Carefully opening the box, there was a section of bone inside.The black bone about one foot long was like charcoal."Can he bear it?"
The old man looked at Chen Qingyuan who had fainted in pain and slowly moved his gaze to the black bone in the box, murmuring.According to the old man, this black bone is the dao bone of an ancient existence. It fell because of a shocking battle. In the end, only this broken bone was left.
Not long ago, when he went to the Tianyuan Forbidden Area, the old man followed the instructions of the girl in red and brought the black bone back.
Reshaping the foundation is not difficult. The difficult thing is to connect the black bone to Chen Qingyuan's body."Really possible?"
At the beginning, the old man was a little hesitant and didn't know what to do.Later, the girl in red sent a message, asking the old man to just operate the array. When a wisp of pure light appeared at Chen Qingyuan's chest, he could take out the black bone. Everything was predestined.After a while, the black bone floated up."Rustle."
The layer of material on the surface of the black bone fell off, revealing a pure color. There were many ancient dao rules carved on it, having undergone the baptism of years.
The old man's pupils contracted and his whole body tensed up as he watched the black bone fall on Chen Qingyuan.Slowly, the black bone directly merged into Chen Qingyuan's body and disappeared. No matter how the old man probed, he couldn't find it.
"Really a strange person."At first, Chen Qingyuan had some rejection to the black bone. But this phenomenon disappeared quickly. The fit was perfect and truly became one.A few days later, Chen Qingyuan woke up.
The old man had been guarding by his side all the time, fearing that something might go wrong.
Seeing Chen Qingyuan wake up, the big stone in the old man's heart finally fell.
"My body..." Chen Qingyuan had no pain and felt very light. There were no scars.
The next moment, Chen Qingyuan immediately sensed the spiritual energy in the world. His expression changed and he quickly checked his body condition.
"The pure dao bone?"Chen Qingyuan was very surprised and happy at the same time. He looked up and glanced at the old man.
