Chapter 21 Senior Brother
After explaining some things to Han Li, Lin Changqing went to visit Senior Brother Liu.
But when he looked at Liu Feng from afar, seeing his one-armed body, which appeared somewhat frail and weathered, Lin Changqing found it even more unbearable. This was his senior brother, with whom he had once shared similar interests and grown up together!
After a long period of silence, Lin Changqing suppressed the urge to meet him. In the end, he left behind only a letter and a healing pill infused with his own magic power before flying away. This healing pill was enough to allow Senior Brother Liu to regenerate his severed limbs.
Under the pine trees on the cliff, Liu Feng gazed into the distance, lost in thought. Suddenly, he saw a streak of light flying towards him from afar. He glanced at it briefly, then it flew away. He could tell that it was Lin Changqing.
"Junior brother...is he an immortal?" Liu Feng murmured.
Just as Liu Feng was still staring blankly in Lin Changqing's direction, two streaks of light flew over and gently landed on the ground.
"A letter?" Liu Feng grabbed the letter that flew over, looked at the familiar handwriting, and slowly opened it.
"I hope you are well, Senior Brother!!!"
"It's been many years. How have you been, Senior Brother? Please don't blame me for leaving without saying goodbye. It's just that mortals have their own sorrows, and immortals have their own troubles. In addition, as a cultivator, I've accumulated a lot of karma, and I don't want to involve you. So I can't say goodbye to you in person. I'm sorry!!"
"The box contains the pills I left behind. They can help you regenerate your severed arm and prolong your life. I hope you will take them after you leave the Seven Mysteries Sect."
"Given your personality, Senior Brother, after suffering this calamity, I imagine that once you leave the Seven Mysteries Sect, you can return to your hometown and live a peaceful and tranquil life, marry and have children, and enjoy the joys of family life... Senior Brother, I will never forget your kindness in the past. However, I do not know if we will ever meet again in this life. But I will pray for you in the cultivation world and wish you a lifetime of peace and health."
Junior Brother: Lin Changqing.
Looking at the general contents of the letter, Liu Feng knew that his junior brother Lin was thinking of him, and he also understood why Lin Changqing was unwilling to meet him—it was all due to karma!
He didn't understand the world of cultivation, nor did he want to understand the secular world. He spent the first half of his life practicing martial arts and being a kind-hearted person in the secular world, believing that if he treated others sincerely, they would do the same. However, he never expected to end up being betrayed by his fellow disciple and losing his arm.
Fortunately, I was able to meet someone like Junior Brother Lin, who understood the ways of the world and the principles of life, and never crossed the line once. He was much better than me.
Recalling the quiet, even somewhat honest, junior brother he had received when Lin Changqing entered the Seven Mysteries Sect, now a legendary immortal, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Junior brother! Take care!!" Liu Feng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly shouted into the distance, not caring whether Lin Changqing heard him or not, only knowing that this was his final farewell to Lin Changqing.
Lin Changqing didn't leave. He heard everything, but he was worried about Liu Feng, so he stayed nearby, wanting to see Liu Feng take the pill and grow an arm before he could leave in peace.
Three days later.
He secretly followed Liu Feng, leaving the Seven Mysteries Sect and Caixia Mountain. In the end, he watched with his own eyes as Liu Feng took the elixir, cleansed his marrow, grew arms, and returned to his hometown before he left with peace of mind.
......
In Divine Hand Valley, Han Li was cultivating medicinal herbs and packing his belongings, preparing to enter the world of cultivation with Lin Changqing.
Lin Changqing walked slowly into Shenshou Valley with an indifferent expression and a desolate and lonely figure. Without disturbing Han Li, he stayed alone in the courtyard and picked up a book on alchemy, arrays, artifacts, and talismans to review.
Han Li saw Lin Changqing reading a book, but did not disturb him. He then began to cultivate on his own.
The spiritual energy in the Seven Mysteries Sect's territory is too low, so even if one takes pills to cultivate, the effect won't be very good. Therefore, under these circumstances, Lin Changqing will not cultivate.
That night, Lin Changqing took out spirit rice, spirit fruit, and spirit tea and ate them together, and also invited Han Li, who had been cultivating, to join him.
Since he failed to abstain from grains during the Qi Refining stage, Lin Changqing now eats only foods containing spiritual energy and rarely consumes mortal food to avoid generating impure energy. Although this impure energy is minimal and will gradually dissipate once he returns to the cultivation world, it will inevitably affect his cultivation.
Even ordinary people in the cultivation world know these things. Some capable ordinary people even consume spiritual rice and spiritual tea in an attempt to prolong their lives. Similarly, ordinary people in the cultivation world have a longer lifespan than ordinary people in the secular world.
Han Li watched as he took out a bunch of spiritual items and began to eat them without any hesitation.
"It tastes really good, much better than ordinary food," Han Li commented after eating a serving of spirit rice.
"Of course, spiritual rice contains spiritual energy and is completely free of impurities, while ordinary rice contains impurities and lacks spiritual energy, so the taste is naturally on a completely different level."
"Worldly food may seem rich and varied, but it actually contains impure energy. If someone knows this, they will mix it with some high-quality herbs. If ordinary people consume it for a long time, pure energy will naturally arise and impure energy will dissipate, and the person will live much longer."
"Junior brother, you have already consumed a large amount of pills, and you also eat worldly food, so your cultivation in the Seven Mysteries Sect will only be more difficult than others in the future."
"From now on, you should consume more spiritual tea, spiritual rice, and spiritual brew. After a long time, the turbidity in your body will dissipate, and your cultivation speed will be much faster. However, your body has taken too many pills, accumulating a lot of pill toxins and drug resistance. You need to find some rare and precious materials to cleanse your body and purify some of the pill toxins. This way, you will have a greater chance of success in Foundation Establishment and even Core Formation later on."
While Lin Changqing was speaking eloquently, he also reminded Han Li to eat less worldly food and more spiritual materials.
"Ah! Where can I find a treasure to wash away the poison from pills?" Han Li knew that the effects of pills were getting worse and worse. He originally wanted to ask about some pill formulas, but after Lin Changqing reminded him, the spiritual fruit in his hand no longer smelled good. He directly asked what kind of rare and precious materials could wash away the poison from pills.
When asked where these rare and precious materials could be found, Lin Changqing shook his head and said he didn't know either. He didn't need these things; he could just use the annual rings to purify his body. There was no need to inquire about these rare materials. However, since he had reminded Han Li, he wouldn't spoil his fun.
"Junior brother, come here." Lin Changqing called out to Han Li, asking him to stay quietly to the side.
Han Li did as he was told, but he didn't know what Lin Changqing was going to do.
Seeing Han Li in front of him, Lin Changqing didn't say much. He directly used his magic power to create a magical energy containing life force around Han Li. This magical energy was just ordinary magic power and did not consume his own lifespan.
"By circulating your Qi and absorbing it, the erysipelas in your body should be alleviated somewhat."
Upon hearing that the pills could reduce poison, Han Li immediately began absorbing them as if they were spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
A moment later, a trace of blackness began to seep from Han Li's body, emitting a strange odor, but Lin Changqing had already left by then.
Han Li noticed the changes in his body and felt that he was in a good condition, and his cultivation speed had indeed increased a bit.
"I never expected that Senior Brother Lin's magical power would be so amazing. It feels several times stronger than his Everlasting Spring Skill, and his realm is so profound that it is much higher than his."
"But this is good too. Once we go to the cultivation world, with Senior Brother Lin as our guide, we can familiarize ourselves with the place for a while and then cultivate on our own."
