At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

As one of the major sects in the southwest, the Emei Sect naturally holds a pivotal position in Chengdu. Its businesses are spread all over Chengdu, involving all walks of life, from restaurants and teahouses to silk shops and banks, all of which make a fortune every day, providing a steady stream of wealth for the Emei Sect.

In comparison, the industries of Qingcheng Sect in Rongcheng seemed a bit dwarfed. Although there were some industries, their scale and influence were far less than those of Emei Sect. Moreover, as a new disciple, Su Rui knew very little about the industries of Qingcheng Sect in Rongcheng, and he couldn't even tell which industries belonged to Qingcheng Sect.

If it was a veteran core disciple like Yuan Ning, this kind of problem would certainly not exist.

Monk Zhiliao was able to practice the Taiqing Xuanmen Invisible Sword Art, so he was naturally one of the top disciples of the Emei Sect. When he used the resources of the Emei Sect in Rongcheng, there was no obstacle at all, as if he was taking something out of his sack.

Under his leadership, those women who were imprisoned in the dungeon and suffered persecution were quickly settled. However, most of the women were unwilling to return to the human world because their innocence was at risk, and chose to stay in the various nunneries under the name of Emei Sect to serve Buddha. From then on, they were no longer connected to the human world!

Their hearts are filled with silent pain and grief, as if they were orphans abandoned by the world, drifting alone in the vast sea of ​​people. Their innocence has been ruthlessly stripped away, which is an unspeakable humiliation and pain, like a tumor deeply imprinted in the depths of their souls. They can no longer face the hustle and bustle of the world, because that will only make them feel more clearly their loneliness and helplessness.

Therefore, they chose a different path, a path away from the hustle and bustle and pursuing inner peace. They stayed in various nunneries under the name of Emei Sect, serving Buddha as their companion, and using green lamps and ancient Buddhas to seek spiritual comfort and salvation. Here, they can forget the troubles and pains of the world and find inner peace and balance.

After Su Rui sighed, "Life is unpredictable and the sea of ​​suffering is endless," he flew back to Liu'an Temple with Chi Jiao and Monk Zhi Liao on his sword.

As soon as he entered the temple, he saw Yuan Ning sitting in front of the hall waiting for him. When Yuan Ning saw Su Rui, he criticized him in a serious tone: "Brother Su, you sneaked into the enemy camp without consulting me this time. It's too risky! There are only a few true disciples of Qingcheng Sect. If you make a mistake, how can I explain to Uncle Yu'e and the headmaster?!"

Su Rui also knew that his previous behavior was a bit risky, but his steady and cautious style did not match his sultry and somewhat free and easy (crazy) personality. However, what Yuan Ning said made sense, so Su Rui sincerely apologized to him and repeatedly promised that he would discuss with everyone before taking action next time.

After finally escaping from Yuan Ning's scrutiny, Su Rui and Chi Jiao returned to the temple's guest house together.

When he reached the door of the guesthouse, he suddenly remembered the seeds of the unknown vine planted in the center of the stele forest. Feeling a little worried, he and Chi Jiao turned a corner and walked to the place where the vine seeds were planted.

Digging up the shallow soil, the seed was lying there quietly, like a precious gem, embedded in the embrace of the earth, without a single change.

Yes, there is no sign of taking root or sprouting.

Su Rui picked up the seeds and observed them carefully, wondering: Is there something wrong with the planting method? So he decided to try to activate the seeds with true qi. He mobilized a wisp of the upper pure true qi and poured it into the seeds.

It happened so fast that the vine seed actually reacted. An extremely sharp thorn suddenly appeared and pierced Su Rui's finger at lightning speed. Su Rui cried out in pain and threw the vine seed out as a conditioned reflex.

When he found that the wound was not serious, he focused on the vine seed that he had just thrown away and was picked up by the red dragon. However, strangely, the vine seed returned to its previous state of no movement, as if nothing had happened. The red dragon also injected a wisp of demonic power to try it out, but found that the demonic power it injected was like a drop in the ocean, and the vine seed did not react at all.

Su Rui took the seed from Chi Jiao, looked at it carefully for a while, and found a tiny crack on the seed shell.

He secretly sighed in his heart, the power of this mysterious seed is indeed extraordinary. He has been so careful, but he was still injured by it. However, he was not discouraged, but became more excited. He knew that this mysterious seed was a rare treasure. If he could master its secrets, perhaps he could take his cultivation to a higher level.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and then poured the pure energy into the mysterious seed again. This time, he felt that the mysterious seed seemed to have changed a little and began to emit a faint light.

He was delighted, knowing that his efforts were not in vain. He continued to pour the pure Qi into the mysterious seed, and the light of the mysterious seed became brighter and brighter. A sharp thorn poked out from the crack, and it became longer and sharper as the Qi was poured in.

Su Rui did not dare to be careless, he immediately used his true qi to form a thick protective shield on his hands. However, when the spikes on the mysterious seeds pierced his protective shield, he found that the spikes ignored the true qi protection and directly penetrated the protective shield and pierced into his flesh.

Su Rui was shocked, but after the previous operation, he was mentally prepared for the strangeness of this seed, so he was not panicked.

His eyes never left the seeds in his hand, and because of this, he discovered that the thorns on the mysterious seeds seemed to have a strange power, and it was actually actively absorbing his blood.

Su Rui felt that this seed was a bit strange. Its shell looked ordinary, but there seemed to be some mysterious power hidden inside. Su Rui gently touched the seed with his fingers and felt a strange pulsation. He was going to pull out the thorn that pierced his finger, but then he thought to himself, "What kind of changes will happen if I let it drink my blood?"

The idea made Suri feel excited and curious.

However, Suri also realized that this decision might be dangerous. He didn't know what the seed was, nor what effect it would have on his body. But it wouldn't suck him dry, would it?

Suri's curiosity and adventurous spirit overcame his fear, and he decided to take the risk.

Su Rui took out a knife and gently cut a small wound on his finger, letting the blood flow out slowly. He placed the seed on the wound and let it drink her blood. The seed immediately began to emit a red mist.

After a while, the seed finally stopped absorbing blood. Su Rui saw that its blood-red shell began to crack, and a tiny sprout grew out of it. Su Rui could clearly feel that the sprout was full of inspiration, and the sprout seemed to have consciousness. He even felt that it seemed to send him a thought similar to "Mom, I'm hungry and want to drink blood."

Su Rui panicked and threw the seeds directly to the ground.

Su Rui was able to strangely sense once again the aggrieved thoughts it was sending to him.

"What the hell is this thing?" Su Rui was completely confused by this seed.
