The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 232 The Flaw in the Dao Heart
"Junior sister, can you still hold on?"

As soon as Chen Jinshu stepped off the stage, several of his fellow disciples rushed over to check on his injuries.

Although she had no obvious injuries, her breathing was disordered and her face was pale.

"It's nothing, I just realized that my Dao heart still has flaws. I'm a little discouraged."

As Chen Jinshu spoke, he involuntarily met his master's all-seeing gaze.

There was no blame, only a touch of comfort.

"Alright. Your junior sister has just gone through a battle, let her rest. Prepare well for your own battles."

After Shui Menghuan finished speaking, the senior brothers and sisters around her stopped surrounding her, but their eyes remained fixed on her, full of concern.

Chen Jinshu was still thinking about watching the competition between his senior brothers and sisters, but it was no longer appropriate for him to stay there any longer.

Although she had won the battle by chance, she didn't gain much advantage.

Her opponent was, after all, a cultivator who had been in the Core Formation stage for many years, and he directly exhausted all the spiritual energy in her body.

……

The battle in the arena had been going on for three quarters of an hour.

Chen Jinshu sat cross-legged in the secluded room of the Holy Sword Sect's courtyard, the lotus birthmark on his forehead glowing with a blue light.

She made a hand seal with her fingertips, and the pale golden Buddhist power surrounding her was gradually forced out of her body, condensing into fine gold dust around the futon.

"The silent chanting of Buddhist scriptures is indeed difficult to deal with."

She wiped the blood from her lips and looked inward at the slightly darkened golden core in her dantian.

Although Zen Master Wunian's spell of words was broken, the remaining Buddhist power is still eroding the meridians.

Suddenly, a flapping sound came from outside the window.

The yinshan tit pecked lightly through the window frame, its blue and red tail feathers sweeping across the window paper and casting dappled light and shadow.

"Come in." Chen Jinshu raised his hand and released the restriction.

The Azure Phoenix transformed into a stream of light and darted in, shrinking to the size of a palm by the time it landed, affectionately nuzzling her fingertips.

The Yinshan Sparrow was missing three tail feathers, clearly indicating significant damage in breaking the Sanskrit Sound Barrier.

She took out a crimson pill and fed it to Qingluan, gently stroking its back as she said:

"Thanks to you today."

Upon consuming the elixir, the Yinshan Sparrow was immediately engulfed in blue flames, and its damaged feathers regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the Buddhist power within his body was completely eliminated, Chen Jinshu's consciousness sank into the sea of ​​consciousness.

The surface of the Mysterious Female Treasure Furnace shimmered with thunder patterns, and the newly developed Purple-Gold Thunder Field within the spiritual plant space was faintly visible.

A flash of blue light, and her figure appeared in the spiritual plant space.

Twenty acres of spiritual herbs exhaled spiritual energy, and tiny electric snakes darted above the three acres of purple-gold thunder field in the center.

The most eye-catching thing was the Thunder Pattern Celestial Evolution Grass that she had taken in, which was suspended in the air.

The leaves are sword-shaped, with purple-gold thunder patterns all over the body, and the stem is transparent like crystal, with liquid thunder flowing inside.

"Fairy Cold Smoke is indeed a woman of her word."

Chen Jinshu recalled the undecided battle in the illusion.

The female cultivator from the Holy Sword Sect only took seven leaves of the Heavenly Evolution Grass, giving the main plant to her, and agreed to fight again at the Nascent Soul stage.

She pointed her fingers like a sword and drew planting array patterns in the air.

As soon as the Thunder Pattern Heavenly Evolution Grass came into contact with the Purple Gold Thunder Field, the entire spiritual field suddenly erupted with lightning that was ten feet high.

The grass stems merrily swam into the soil following the formation.

The leaves with the variegated pattern fell off automatically, and new roots sprouted as soon as they hit the ground.

"It takes root as soon as it's planted. It seems that this Purple-Gold Thunder Field is really suitable for planting thunder-attribute spiritual plants."

Chen Jinshu looked at the Thunder Pattern Heavenly Evolution Grass with delight, which had already taken root in the ground.

Ancient texts record that this herb ripens once every thousand years, but now, with the blessing of the Purple Gold Thunder Field and three times the flow rate, it may be harvested in less than a hundred years.

Just as he was about to examine it closely, the token at his waist suddenly became hot.

The message from Master Shui Huanmeng was transmitted:
"Come and find me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu knew why her master had summoned her.

Seeing that her master seemed hesitant to speak today, she knew that her master would summon her alone.

She quickly sprinkled the growth-inducing liquid onto the spirit field and then left the space. ...

A moment later, at the Jade Jade Courtyard of the Holy Sword Sect.

This courtyard was several times larger than the one she currently lived in, and it was surrounded by fragrant fruit trees and flying birds.

When Chen Jinshu arrived, his master, Shui Huanmeng, was brewing tea.

On the Four Symbols Furnace, the Snow Bud Silver Needle tea floats and sinks with the boiling water, its aroma condensing into the shape of a white crane that lingers and never dissipates.

"Master!" Chen Jinshu slightly raised his hand in greeting.

"Please sit down! Try the spiritual tea that the elder of the Holy Sword Sect gave me."

Shui Huanmeng's gaze remained fixed on the teacup in her hand, and she casually poured a cup of tea in front of Chen Jinshu.

"Thank you, Master."

Chen Jinshu took the teacup, took a small sip, and the moment the spiritual tea entered his mouth, his previously restless mind instantly became clear.

"His performance in the arena was acceptable. But his hesitation at the last moment almost allowed that Buddhist cultivator to turn the tables."

Shui Huanmeng spoke gently, without the slightest hint of blame, and directly pointed out the key to this battle.

Chen Jinshu's face was slightly flushed, and his fingertips rubbed the rim of the cup, showing a hint of nervousness.

The tea reflected her slightly flushed face, a stark contrast to her fierce demeanor on the fighting stage during the day.

"This disciple did not expect that Wu Nian could evoke the old stories of the Chen family, which resonated more deeply than the illusionary trials. I was too attached to appearances."

Chen Jinshu lowered his head slightly, and for some reason, the memories of that past event in his mind became clearer and clearer.

"Back then, you appeared tough on the surface, but deep down you were still afraid."

"This fear was seized upon by Buddhist practitioners, which became the weakness of their inner demons."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu thought to himself that it was indeed true.

She was terrified at that time. Although her mother protected her, if the clan leader were to become enraged and kill her, no one could save her.

"Master is wise. This disciple's mind is still lacking."

"Although you severed your worldly ties before forming your core, you did not truly sever them."

She recalled how, in the daytime illusion, she had momentarily hesitated in front of the fictional elder of the Chen family.

If not for the Yinshan Sparrow's awakening, his Dao heart would probably have collapsed by now.

Although her fear was amplified by her Buddhist practice, looking back, she still felt lingering fear.

"Master, please give me some guidance."

"After the Five Continents Alliance ended, you traveled alone for ten years."

Shui Huanmeng casually took out an ancient scroll, which unfolded to reveal a map.

"There is an ancient battlefield in Tianxuan Prefecture, where the ancient music cultivation tradition is buried. It can perfectly complete the Heart Refining chapter of your 'Breaking the Formation Music'."

Chen Jinshu stared at the red dot marked on the map, which was a million miles away from the Xuanming Sect.

There was neither sect protection nor senior brothers and sisters to look after them; they truly had to bear their own lives.

However, looking at Tianxuan Prefecture, for some reason, her heart became even more determined.

When shall this disciple depart?

"After the final showdown tomorrow, collect your alliance rewards and then go. I will inform your senior brothers and sisters so that they won't worry."

As Shui Huanmeng spoke, she seemed to remember something and suddenly chuckled softly.

"That girl Leng Yan also took on a similar mission. You two are quite destined."

"However, the place she went to was far more dangerous than yours; it was a place where almost everyone was doomed."

"I understand, Master." Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu did not offer any objection.

"In recent years, the demonic path has become increasingly rampant. You must be extremely careful when you travel alone."

Shui Huanmeng scanned her face for a moment, trying to find the slightest hint of retreat, but only found a calm expression.

Sometimes, she wished her apprentice wasn't so calm and collected. Then many things would be much easier for her to handle.

After drinking a cup of tea, Chen Jinshu did not linger and left with the scroll.

When they returned to the villa, several senior brothers and sisters happened to arrive. Looking at Chen Jinshu's calm expression, the words they were about to say remained unspoken.

"Junior sister, are you really sure?"
