C3 Cannot return empty-handed

The old man smiled, nodded, and said, "Young man, if you want to go out, acknowledge me as your master!"

"Acknowledged a master?" Chen Yufan subconsciously retreated two steps, and said: "You, an old man, cannot even go out on your own, much less me! Even if I were to learn from you, I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave. Even if I were to go out, I'm afraid that things are already different. "Sigh!"

The old man smiled but didn't say anything. He shook his head and said, "Kid, I don't know how many people in the martial arts world wanted to become my disciple, but today you are unwilling. The reason why I am not going out is because time and space are still here. Once I am out, my old bones will probably turn into ashes.

"Space and time?" Chen Yufan was stunned, her tone sounded like it came from a science fiction film.

However, the old man nodded his head seriously.

The two of them sat on the ground and chatted for an unknown amount of time before Chen Yufan finally started to make sense of the situation. The old man's name was indeed Li Xiaoyao, and naturally, he was not that big brother Xiao Yao, but a prince of the Li family from the Tang Dynasty.

It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or a coincidence of several days, but in his later years, he actually found the cave left behind by the previous Immortal. According to the old man's analysis, this was only the Spring and Autumn Battle Empire's home, the place where the Ghost Valley Branch resided.

The old man was also curious and went into closed-door training here. However, this closed door training was already very impressive, and it actually took hundreds of years of time like a fleeting flash of light, because in this cave, many academies were learned by the old man one by one, including formations. As a result, the old man believed in the existence of longevity more and more, and with a formless formation that condensed time, he sealed the cave.

"There is a breakthrough in this formation. Time can't stop at any time, quantitative changes can trigger qualitative changes." Every time Haoyue turned the sky upside down and the seven stars gathered, time would move forward a step. This step would take the time of seven stars, which would be several hundred years! "

The old man continued, "Take a simple example. If you did not fall into this cave on this night, but the day before yesterday, or the day before that, then after you left this place, time would stop at the last day of the Seven Stars Orb, which was several hundred years ago, as you said. However, this kind of thing cannot happen. Unless one has seven stars in a row, it is impossible to open this cave. "

"Then how do I get out?" Chen Yufan finally asked the main point.

With this old man's strength, I can forcefully break through this barrier and send you out. But little friend, once you enter the treasure mountain, you can't return empty-handed.

Chen Yufan thought for a while, then said: "Then why didn't you go out?"

The old man laughed, "If this old man were to go out, he would be a pile of bones. Unless I become a cultivator in the Golden Core realm, how could I not go out?" But you are still young, and I have already said that time is still. Even if you have stayed here for a hundred years, as long as you have not failed the next Seven Stars Linked Pearl, no matter what time you go out, it will be the time when you fall off the cliff. There won't be a problem! "

"Really?" Chen Yufan said in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?" The elder began to blow his beard and stare at him, but he soon said, "Just treat it as staying with this old man to accompany me. This old man will not let you suffer any disadvantages!"

Thus, Chen Yufan decided to stay in the cave. Although he did not believe the old man's words, he was still extremely curious, and under the helplessness of not being able to leave, he decided to stay. The old man looked at Chen Yufan who was like a sponge collecting knowledge. It was as if he could see himself back then, and he liked him more and more. The books here were passed down from Ghost Valley's knowledge in various fields. There were six types of books: Martial Arts, Formations, Soldiers, Medicine, and the Arts.

Chen Yufan learnt these things and forgot about going out. Looking at his understanding of martial arts, he finally started to understand why the old man had turned into a pile of bones the moment he said it. On the path of martial arts, there was a threshold in ancient times for those who had reached the Innate Grand Master.

He did not know how many days had passed in here, but when Chen Yufan was thirsty he drank the water in the well. When he was hungry, he would eat some of the best herbs here to replenish his life force.

One day, when the old man was playing chess with Chen Yufan, he said with a smile: "Yufan, you don't want to go out anymore?"

Chen Yufan suddenly thought of something and awkwardly scratched his head: "I do, but I don't know how to get out? Please advise me, Master? "

"Manpower is endless, so as long as you make up your mind, there is naturally nothing that you can't accomplish. This old man can send you out, but this old man would rather you break the barrier on your own. "It's been a long day, and I don't know how long it has been. According to the time spent outside, it should have been several years!"

"Three years and five months!" Chen Yufan said clearly.

Li Xiaoyao nodded, and said: "You should remember this very clearly, but it's useless. Even after you go out, it's still time for you to fall off the cliff! You have learned very well here. In these three years, you have read through almost all of the books here. There are some things you can practice, such as pill refining, chess, tea, or array formations.

But to get out, this alone wasn't enough. The most important thing to the human body was still martial power. That was the power to surpass nature, to surpass the limits of the human body. As long as martial power followed, one could go wherever one wanted to go. Do you know why this old man didn't teach you martial arts in these three years? "

Chen Yufan shook his head. He had once tried to learn martial arts, but those words were too profound, so modern people like him were unable to understand them. One must be a guide, a guide. Otherwise, even if something shocking was placed in front of you, you wouldn't be able to understand it, nor would you be able to recognize it, let alone practice it.
