Chapter 446: The Stubborn Xu Hu and the Ice Fire Duality Spring
Upon seeing Chen Changsheng, the Drunken Scholar turned to Xu Hu and spoke.
“Xu Hu, I have a fate entanglement, so I can’t send you off this time.”
“This is something I prepared for you. Be extremely cautious on this trip.”
Taking the package from the Drunken Scholar’s hand, Xu Hu cupped his hands and said, “Disciple will remember!”
After instructing Xu Hu, the Drunken Scholar turned to Su Wan’er.
“Wan’er, among everyone, your strength is the weakest, but you are the one I worry about the least.”
“The path you traverse is destined to have little conflict.”
“Furthermore, your talent surpasses mine. With him to guide you, your future will be even broader.”
“With this parting, I don’t know when we will meet again. Take this zither with you.”
As he spoke, the Drunken Scholar presented an ancient zither to Su Wan’er.
“Thank you, Teacher!”
Receiving the zither, Su Wan’er bent slightly in gratitude.
After dealing with Su Wan’er, the Drunken Scholar looked at Tu Jiao Jiao and Jiang Ling.
“You’ve been in the sect for quite a while now, and I have nothing left to say to you.”
“This trip will be filled with difficulties and dangers, so you must be careful.”
“Thank you for your concern, Master!”
After the farewell, Chen Changsheng left with a large group of people.
Watching their departing figures, the Drunken Scholar remained speechless for a long time.
Although he had spent little time with this legendary “teacher,” the Drunken Scholar felt deeply moved.
Once upon a time, he thought he would continue on forever.
But after meeting the teacher, he realized he had already reached the end of his path.
Thinking of this, the Drunken Scholar sighed and said, “Teacher, meeting such a person must be tiring for you.”
“He walks at a slow pace but is always chasing after you.”
“If you stop, you will soon be surpassed by him.”
“Now I understand why you can go so far; it’s because someone has always spurred you on from behind.”
……
In the wilderness.
Hu Tudou and Hu Yan were busy cooking dinner.
The others were busy chopping wood and carrying water, enjoying themselves.
With such a large group gathered, those who didn’t know would have thought it was a young master’s entourage.
Soon, steaming hot dishes were served.
However, faced with these delicious meals, Tu Jiao Jiao showed no interest in eating.
“The way of cultivation emphasizes teaching by example. Can you really teach all these people at once?”
At this, Chen Changsheng, who was enthusiastically showcasing his food, looked up and replied, “Herding one sheep is herding; herding a group of sheep is still herding. There isn’t much difference to me.”
“Besides, your master has nine disciples, and I’ve brought nine people as well.”
“If your master can teach, then why can’t I?”
Hearing this, Jiang Ling said coolly, “But the master has never taught all nine of us at the same time.”
“If Changsheng can teach nine people all at once, he must have some unique skills.”
“Omit this if it doesn’t concern me; just tell me directly where we are going.”
“I won’t hide it from you.”
Seeing that Chen Changsheng had no intention of concealing their destination, Feiyun immediately spoke up.
“Changsheng, where do you plan to take us?”
“There are quite a few places to go. I’ll casually mention two.”
“The Sword Qi Great Wall and the Ice Fire Duality Spring are a must.”
“Ice Fire Duality Spring!”
Friendly reminder: The page has features like “Switch between Simplified and Traditional,” “Adjust font size,” and “Reading background color” at the top right corner.
Listening to these names, Tu Jiao Jiao exclaimed excitedly, standing up.
“The Ice Fire Duality Spring is an unparalleled danger zone, where the extreme heat and extreme cold blend together.”
“Even a Divine Realm strong person would be injured if they came in contact with its aura; you wouldn’t want us to cultivate using the aura of the Ice Fire Duality Spring, would you?”
Looking at Tu Jiao Jiao’s excited demeanor, Chen Changsheng casually waved his hand.
“Don’t be so agitated. How could I let you cultivate using the aura of the Ice Fire Duality Spring?”
“I just want to toss you in for a soak, don’t be too tense.”
“If you’re scared, you can go back right now.”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s attitude, Tu Jiao Jiao wanted to argue, but was pulled back by Jiang Ling.
Following Jiang Ling’s meaningful glance, Tu Jiao Jiao found that everyone present was calm, and she was the only one agitated.
Realizing this, Tu Jiao Jiao suppressed her inner fury and sat back down.
After all, she was a true disciple of the academy; since no one else was afraid, she couldn’t lose face for her master.
Once Tu Jiao Jiao regained her composure, Huafeng looked at Chen Changsheng and asked, “Teacher, the Ice Fire Duality Spring is extremely perilous. How should I practice there?”
“There’s no method; just jump directly in and it’ll be fine.”
“The Ice Fire Duality Spring can melt everything; your physical bodies will be fine.”
“If you want to quickly refine your bloodlines, the only method is this crude approach.”
“Besides, in order to mend your foundations, you have to first get rid of some of the attached things on the outside.”
“The Ice Fire Duality Spring is the most suitable place for you.”
After hearing Chen Changsheng’s reply, Huafeng pursed her lips and asked, “Teacher, how long do we need to endure in the Ice Fire Duality Spring?”
“I don’t know.”
“You can come out when your bloodlines have been successfully refined.”
“Moreover, you have one more task than Tu Jiao Jiao, and that is to mend your foundation.”
“Those who can endure will live, and those who can’t will d*e; it couldn’t be simpler.”
Just then, Xu Hu interjected, “Young Master, can I go too?”
“No.”
“Tu Jiao Jiao and Huafeng are from the ancient Beast Clan, their bodies are exceptionally tough; even they risk near-d*ath if they go in.”
“You go in, and you’ll probably be dead in an instant.”
“But I want to go. Perhaps the young master has arranged another path for me, but if others can do it, I can too.”
Faced with Xu Hu’s words, Chen Changsheng stared at him intently.
After a long while, Chen Changsheng nodded, “Fine, then you can go.”
“The Ice Fire Duality Spring is in the Spirit Domain, controlled by the World’s No. 1 Spring. Meeting your parents before you d*e would count as closure.”
“Others don’t need to join this commotion; if they all d*e, the next place won’t have anyone left to go to.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng tossed the chopsticks he was holding aside and got up to leave.
Seeing this, Huafeng looked at Xu Hu and said, “Cultivation is not something to act rashly about. You and I are different; why bother like this?”
“The young master sees potential in you; he believes you will go further, but I do not think so.”
“I will definitely surpass you.”
“In addition, the Vajra Glazed Pill is something I must obtain!”
Faced with Xu Hu’s determined gaze, Huafeng smiled slightly, “You are brave, but the Vajra Glazed Pill is already in my pocket; you won’t succeed.”
“If you surpass me, then I will try to surpass the path the young master has arranged for you.”
“Then we’ll see who dies first.”
“Deal.”
The eyes of Xu Hu and Huafeng clashed, the dazzling “light” making it hard for some to look directly.
Watching the two in a standoff, Tu Jiao Jiao felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
For some reason, she always felt that they would surpass her.
