Chapter 109 Questioning the Heart
After listening to what Ling Yu said, Chang Qing was not surprised.
This goal is very common, but isn't it what people expect? Chang Qing has no right to laugh at it, after all, although his goal is not quite the same, it is roughly the same.
"Then Brother Ling, what qualities should a cultivator possess?" Chang Qing asked again.
"Tenacity, perseverance, kindness, mercy, bravery, integrity, etc." Ling Yu described what the world of immortal cultivation looks like in his mind.
Chang Qing smiled and said, "I won't comment for now. Please follow me, Brother Ling," and then walked into the room.
Ling Yu didn't understand why, but followed him anyway.
Inside the house, Chang Qing stopped and said to Ling Yu behind him: "Brother Ling, please observe this room carefully."
Ling Yu looked around, and finally his eyes stopped at the couplet. There was only anger in his eyes. He turned around and glared at Chang Qing, saying, "Is this what Brother Ji is pursuing? This fame and fortune?"
Looking at the angry Ling Yu, Chang Qing smiled and said, "You think that cultivation is too pure and too simple. This is your weakness, your soft spot, and the inner demon that prevents you from achieving the great way of cultivation."
"Since Brother Ji is willing to be a layman, then I, Ling, will not accompany you any longer!" Ling Yu flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave.
"Wait...Brother Ling, please listen to me."
Chang Qing stopped him
"Brother Ling thinks I am a vulgar person, no different from ordinary people. Brother Ling, do you think I have fallen? Giving up my identity as a mountain dweller to become a street dweller?"
"Of course!" Ling Yu's mouth flashed with sarcasm.
"Brother Ling, do you know the darkness of this cultivation world? I guess Brother Ling comes from a big family and has always been a cultivator. He has never seen what the real world is like, and has never experienced the hardships of ordinary people's lives."
"Maybe even worse, Brother Ling has always felt that the status of those people is much different from your own, and that you are born different from these people?" Ling Yu said.
"......"
Ling Yu's face flushed a little and he wanted to refute, but Chang Qing's words accurately hit every sore spot of his and he was unable to refute for a while.
That's right. Ling Yu's family is the largest family within thousands of miles. It has countless wealth and there are many practitioners in the family. As the eldest son of the family head, Ling Yu's spiritual roots mutated and turned into thunder spiritual roots when he was born. Since then, he has been treated as the apple of his eye.
With countless cultivation resources and rapid progress, Ling Yu was soon hailed as the number one among his peers in the family. With many halos added to him, although Ling Yu was not a playboy, he had been highly praised for a long time and subconsciously believed that he was superior to others.
It was not until he sensed threat and even fear from Chang Qing that he felt pressure for the first time. After that, he went on stage to invite Chang Qing to participate in the ring battle. As a result, Chang Qing defeated him with just props. The pride in Ling Yu's heart was completely shattered, and only confusion was left in his heart.
That's why I came to Changqing today to look for the powerful secret.
"Brother Ling, have you ever seen it? There was a severe drought that year. People on every continent ate each other. Trees for thousands of miles were without bark. White bones covered the plains." Changqing's voice was very soft.
But in Ling Yu's ears, it was like thunderclaps, his pupils shrank and he remained silent, the truth of the world appeared before his eyes for the first time. Not only his mind was shocked, but also his worldview.
"Eating human beings?" He asked with difficulty after a long time.
"Just to survive." Chang Qing's voice remained calm.
"How could this be?"
Ling Yu didn't believe it and stared into Chang Qing's eyes, trying to tell from his eyes whether he was lying, but the facts disappointed him. In those clear eyes, Ling Yu only saw the facts.
"Survival is the first priority for all living things. Only after survival can we talk about what to do next."
Changqing paused and continued:
"Compared to the mortal world, cultivators are indeed much more dull, but just because there are not many of them does not mean that there are none. As cultivators' strength grows, their desires will be infinitely magnified. Compared to mortals, what can they do for survival and immortality? Do I need to tell you? I think history has too many outcomes."
Ling Yu was silent.
"In Ji's opinion, calculations, conspiracies, and tricks for survival are not surprising. Even ants try to survive, so how can living beings know what satisfaction is?" Chang Qing said.
Ling Yu remained silent for a long time, and did not say another word. When he left, he suddenly turned to Chang Qing and asked, "I want to verify what Brother Ji said. I still... don't believe it!"
Chang Qing shrugged indifferently and said, "If what I said is confirmed, Brother Ling can come to me again when he feels he is in trouble."
The two bowed and said goodbye, and Ling Yu left on the wind.
"Hehe~"
Chang Qing looked at Ling Yu's back and laughed, thinking:
“No one knows more about toxic chicken soup than me.”
Chang Qing could even foresee Ling Yu's expression when he came to see him.
It was very simple for Changqing to do this. Although he didn't want to have anything to do with Ling Yu directly, he didn't say that he couldn't give advice. Changqing just experimented on Ling Yu based on the influence of his vaguely felt state of mind on cultivation. If successful, it would mean that his guess was correct. If something abnormal happened, he would stop immediately and it wouldn't affect Ling Yu too much.
Now just wait for a few days. If Changqing's guess is correct, Ling Yu will consult Changqing immediately once he is sure of what he said. It probably won't take too long.
In a good mood, Chang Qing looked up at the rising sun and shouted to the house, "Jiao Cang, don't stay at home all day, go out for a walk, wanna go?"
In the house, Jiaocang swept his tail, changed his posture and continued to sleep. No bird is ever green.
Chang Qing was not annoyed. He straightened his clothes and walked out to the medicine pavilion. It was the last chance to buy at a low price while the sect had not yet mass-produced Green Bull.
When they arrived at the medicine pavilion, there were a lot of people. Green Bull had become famous, and disciples came in an endless stream. Changqing's mouth was grinning wider and wider, unable to conceal it at all.
Many disciples were also regular customers, and they chatted with Changqing from time to time. When they talked about the heroic deeds of "Brother Gengtian" who plowed a mountain in three days, Changqing's first feeling was that the world is full of wonders, and it was possible that the mysterious Brother Gengtian was really a disciple with the blood of the demon bull.
Wait... No! Chang Qing suddenly realized something. Chiyun Peak!!! Isn't that the mountain where the sect master is? And the time is just right.
"No way!!"
Chang Qing didn't dare to think further. He felt that the more he thought about it, the more likely it became. Even if there was only a slight possibility, Chang Qing didn't dare to think about it anymore.
But his mind couldn't help but think: "Awesome! He resisted the effects of the drug for three days and was able to plow an entire mountain. He is worthy of being the sect leader. His physical strength and resilience are enough~"
Changqing was still daydreaming, but the evil smile on his lips could no longer be suppressed.
When everyone saw Changqing's smile, they thought he was up to something bad again and kept away from him. After all, Changqing's nickname "The Shame of the Imperial Spirit" had spread, and his popularity was no less than that of this farm brother. Some people even gave him a more vicious nickname "Little Sinner".
