Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

Jingcheng.

The dense autumn rain fell, adding a bit of coolness.

The pedestrians on the road changed into heavy cotton clothes. Occasionally, there would be a few mavericks wearing short shirts. They were all martial artists with great martial arts skills and vigorous blood.

Chu Chen sat alone in the private room of the restaurant, tasting the secular wine that he had not tasted for a long time.

"All kinds of grains and the charm of the world are in a pot of wine."

Chu Chen tasted it carefully and laughed dumbly.

For him now, the secular wine is not delicious in essence.

Compared with spiritual wine, the wine brewed by the secular world has too many impurities and too many different flavors, which is not liked by cultivators.

Like a bowl of water, there are 84,000 insects.

Although Chu Chen could not taste 84,000 flavors when he drank a cup of secular wine, he could taste 300 to 400 different flavors, which seriously affected the taste.

But he enjoyed it.

Just like the worldly life cleanses the mind, the fine wine of the world is stained with the atmosphere of the world. If you taste it carefully, it will also have a certain cleansing effect.

Of course.

It is more about reminiscing about the past years.

"The opening time of the alien insect secret realm is getting closer."

Chu Chen looked at the moat outside Jingcheng with a faint gaze.

A row of pleasure boats occupied most of the moat.

The exquisite carvings were looming in the hazy drizzle, like a painting.

On the shore, strong men with strong backs and waists patrolled back and forth, and no strangers were allowed to approach.

The residents of Jingcheng were not surprised by this. A few years ago, they might have been surprised, but now, they all knew that this was the business of the Qian family, a big family in the city.

The biggest place for seeking flowers and asking for willows in Jingcheng and other surrounding cities is the Happy Boat.

The most true portrayal of the Happy Boat is the life of luxury and revelry every night.

However, Chu Chen knew that the Qian family was a cover-up, and the Happy Boat was built by Huo Wenhao.

Huo Wenhao built the Happy Boat to monitor the entrance to the Alien Insect Secret Realm.

Once there was any movement in the Alien Insect Secret Realm, Huo Wenhao would be able to get the news in the first place.

Chu Chen didn't care about the Happy Boat, and his eyes fell on the central area of ​​the moat.

Through the layers of void, he saw a huge secret world slowly approaching.

If there is no external influence, the Alien Insect Secret Realm will be connected with the Tianhuang Continent in two years. At that time, the cultivators of the Tianhuang Continent will be able to enter the Alien Insect Secret Realm through the space channel.

But the Tianming Wangqi Technique feedback information shows that the Alien Insect Secret Realm will be opened in forty-five days.

In other words, there will be external forces that affect the Alien Insect Secret Realm and make it open in advance.

"Since Huo Wenhao joined the Hunyuan Sect, he has been working hard to exchange for the Hunyuan Qianji Yin, and has exchanged two so far."

Chu Chen can roughly guess the reason.

In another ten or twenty days, Huo Wenhao will be able to exchange for the third Hunyuan Qianji Yin, which can be used to attract the alien insect secret realm in advance.

Speaking of Huo Wenhao, we have to mention his grievances with Zhang Xundao.

Zhang Xundao changed his name to Meng Jie, and worshipped in Hunyuan Sect, and entered the sect of Honglian Zhenjun.

Honglian Zhenjun's real name is Meng Honglian, and "Meng Jie" is nominally a descendant of Honglian Zhenjun's mortal family.

Zhang Xundao used some secret method to deceive Honglian Zhenjun and other Hunyuan Sect monks, and regarded him as Meng Jie, becoming Honglian Zhenjun's second disciple, below Gongsun Yue.

Because of Huo Wenhao's hatred for Gongsun Yue, Zhang Xundao confronted Huo Wenhao.

On the surface, Zhang Xundao only showed the cultivation qualifications of the dual spiritual roots of fire and earth, and the cultivation of the initial stage of foundation building. Facing Huo Wenhao, he was inevitably in a "weak" position, but with Gongsun Yue's help, the situation was still good.

"Huo Wenhao has been courting death."

When Chu Chen got the relevant news, he mourned for Huo Wenhao's future fate.

Zhang Xundao's true cultivation level was not visible to Honglian Zhenjun and others, but he knew it clearly.

The peak of the Dao body is only one step away from condensing the Dharma body, or even half a step away.

According to the nature of the son of destiny, the actual combat power is higher than his own realm. In addition, Zhang Xundao is a strong man who has been reborn, so he may be able to compete with the cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

In other words, Huo Wenhao in the foundation-building period is actually jumping around wildly in front of a Nascent Soul old monster.

Chu Chen is not surprised when he is slapped to death.

To be precise, if it were not for the protection of the power of destiny, Huo Wenhao would have died long ago.

Also because of the burning of the power of destiny, Huo Wenhao's cultivation level has rapidly improved, reaching the late stage of foundation building, and is about to break through the peak of foundation building. He is hailed as one of the contemporary golden elixir seeds of Hunyuan Sect, and is in the limelight for a while.

Whether Huo Wenhao will have a miserable future or not has little to do with Chu Chen.

As long as Huo Wenhao successfully opens the alien insect secret realm and leads the child of destiny to the alien insect secret realm, Chu Chen will not pay too much attention to whether he is dead or alive.

After drinking a pot of ordinary wine, it was night, and Chu Chen went to the Happy Boat for a stroll.

Don't think too much, he is making some arrangements in advance for the opening of the alien insect secret realm.

As his cultivation level improves, Chu Chen's interest in listening to music in the brothel is getting lower and lower.

At least he is not very interested in ordinary women.

Just as Chu Chen can taste hundreds of impurities when tasting ordinary wine, he looks at ordinary women in the same way.

In this case, how can he be interested?

At most, he can relive the atmosphere of the world in the Happy Boat.

What a pity.

He was excited and returned in disappointment.

In order to compete for the opportunity to be alone with the courtesan, the two playboys of the aristocratic families made a big fuss in the Happy Boat, causing the Happy Boat to close early.

After leaving the Happy Boat, Chu Chen returned to Jingcheng and strolled around the city.

On the one hand, he wanted to experience the mundane world, and on the other hand, he wanted to engrave the mark of Hutian's magical power and evolve the pseudo-cave heaven.

In order to seek the swordsmanship opportunity in the secret realm of alien insects, he still needs to make some more preparations.

After a busy night, the sun rose, and Chu Chen returned to the courtyard he bought in Jingcheng.

The gate of the courtyard next door was wide open, a carriage stopped in front of the door, and a group of people walked out of the courtyard.

The leader was a middle-aged man in a long gown, with a tall and straight figure like a pine tree, named Chen Bai.

He was the chief clerk of the Jingcheng City Lord's Mansion. The Jingcheng City Lord relied on him a lot, and his status in Jingcheng was not low.

"Master Zhao, you are back from traveling in the mountains."

Seeing Chu Chen, Chen Bai's eyes lit up, and he led a group of people and walked forward quickly.

Chu Chen traveled in Jingcheng as a wandering Taoist priest, and claimed to be surnamed Zhao, so people in Jingcheng called him Master Zhao.

"The scenery around Jingcheng is picturesque, and I lingered for a while and just returned now."

Chu Chen talked nonsense casually.

"The Taoist priest has a noble temperament and is devoted to mountains and rivers. I admire him."

Chen Bai deliberately flattered Chu Chen, making the atmosphere between the two quite harmonious.

A quirky boy behind Chen Bai seemed to be uncomfortable with Chu Chen's behavior and whispered: "Looking for flowers and asking willows is looking for flowers and asking willows, what about traveling and playing in the mountains and rivers."

"My son is young and ignorant, and I offended the Taoist priest. Please forgive me."

Chen Bai happened to hear this sentence, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly apologized to Chu Chen.

Being in a high position, he knew that there were strange people in the world. If he angered the other party, he might cause disaster.

"No problem."

Chu Chen waved his hand and looked at the boy with a smile: "Little guy, do you know that mountains and rivers are scenery, flowers and plants are scenery, and men and women are also scenery?"

Without waiting for the boy to answer, he turned and walked towards the courtyard.

Before entering the door

He left a hearty sentence: "I think this little fellow will have many hardships in the future because of his erratic character. It is better to arrange more homework for him to temper his temper."

"Master, you are right."

"Ah?"

The boy stared at Chu Chen's departing back with wide eyes, his face full of grief and indignation.
