No hope for eternal life

Chapter 305 Feng Rui's Comfort

Lin Yu did not open her eyes because she knew that the voice came from her master Feng Rui.

Before Lin Yu could answer, another voice rang out from the cave: "That's what you should say. You're so young, why are you looking for a Taoist partner if you don't practice well?"

This voice came from Lin Yu's master Shangguan Qiong, which shows how much they care about Lin Yu and how much they have been paying attention to her silently.

"You are still too young. There are many kinds of flavors in the world. You have to experience them yourself to know what is good and what is bad." Feng Rui sighed again.

……

On the other side, Mu Changsheng came to Lingzang Peak of Tianling Sect. He planned to sell the extra set of black beads to the sect as Lin Yu said.

The one in charge of Lingzang Peak of Tianling Sect is Liang Kuan, who is ranked second in the inner sect of Tianling Sect.

When Liang Kuan saw Mu Changsheng, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, Junior Brother Mu is a rare guest, what do you need?"

"Hello, Senior Brother Liang." Mu Changsheng saluted with a fist, then went straight to the point, took out three black beads and explained their uses.

Liang Kuan was also slightly surprised after hearing this. He personally took the black bead and studied it for a long time before making an offer: "Junior Brother Mu, this treasure is indeed exquisite, but the only drawback is that it can only be used by cultivators below the Divine Sea Realm. Otherwise, its value would be doubled. Now I can only offer a price of 30,000 contribution points. If Junior Brother thinks this price is too low, it would be great if you could auction it off or keep it for your own use."

"This price is enough." Mu Changsheng nodded slightly. Taoist Master Nan once said that this item could be sold for at least 20,000 contribution points. Liang Kuan gave 30,000 contribution points, which was already very generous.

Soon, the two sides completed the deal, and Mu Changsheng received 30,000 contribution points. Just as he was about to leave, Liang Kuan stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, Junior Brother Mu. I see you are distracted. Have you encountered any troubles? I may be able to help you with some advice."

Mu Changsheng smiled bitterly upon hearing this. Lin Yu's words were so decisive that any idea would be in vain. He could only clasp his fists to Liang Kuan and thank him: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother. It's just a matter of feelings, so I can't say more."

"Heroes are often tempted by beauties." Liang Kuan smacked his lips and said, "However, there is no shortage of heroic women in this world. Junior brother should think more positively."

Mu Changsheng clasped his fists again to express his gratitude, then turned around and left without saying a word.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng was still a little dazed and walked aimlessly. He should go to Ferry Peak and take the ferry to the next destination, but he didn't want to leave Tianling Sect so soon, so he walked aimlessly in the mountains within the sect.

On the way, Mu Changsheng suddenly encountered a white-haired woman blocking the way. When he saw who it was, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Sect Master."

The visitor was none other than the leader of the Tianling Sect, Feng Rui, who was the spiritual leader of countless cultivators from the Nine Realms. Mu Changsheng had always admired him.

Feng Rui smiled and asked gently, "After being rejected by Lin Yu, do you feel unwilling and resentful?"

"No." Mu Changsheng replied respectfully: "On the contrary, I am very grateful to Senior Sister Lin for speaking so clearly, but I can't help feeling a little disappointed."

Mu Changsheng once thought that even if Lin Yu didn't like him now, he might like him in the future, but Lin Yu's words completely cut off his thoughts, and all he felt was loss.

Feng Rui's smile grew stronger as she soothed him, "You are already very good now, and your future should be even better. When you are good enough, you will meet more outstanding women. Maybe Lin Yu will change her mind, or you will meet a better woman. Both will be very beautiful things."

"Disciple understands. I will definitely keep the sect leader's teachings in mind in the future." Mu Changsheng said respectfully. It was a very comforting thing in itself that Sect Leader Feng personally came out to enlighten him, a little Nascent Soul cultivator.

Feng Rui smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and took out a yellowish earth spirit bead, and said: "Please accept this earth spirit bead. This may be a little against the rules and a little unfair to other disciples, but you must admit that everyone has different divisions of labor when they come to this world. This earth spirit bead represents the sect's expectations and hopes for you."

Mu Changsheng was flattered when he saw this. He was not a pedantic person. With this Earth Spirit Dzi Bead, he could save a lot of effort.

Mu Changsheng accepted the Earth Spirit Bead, but also took out a bag of contribution value gold coins and said respectfully: "Disciple is willing to pay 6,000 contribution points to buy this item."

"Very good." Feng Rui nodded with a smile and accepted Mu Changsheng's 6,000 contribution points.

After getting the Earth Spirit Dzi Bead, Mu Changsheng's disappointment was swept away and he was full of fighting spirit again.

But at the same time, a question popped up in Mu Changsheng's mind, and he couldn't help but express it.

"Master, I have a question. I don't know whether I should ask it or not?" Mu Changsheng asked respectfully.

"Are you trying to ask me if I'm really dying as the outside world is saying?" Feng Rui said with a smile, guessing what Mu Changsheng wanted to ask.

Mu Changsheng bowed and apologized: "Please forgive me, Master. This is exactly what I wanted to ask."

It was Yi Qianhuan who told Mu Changsheng that Feng Rui was about to die. Logically, Yi Qianhuan had no need to lie to him, but Mu Changsheng still wanted to confirm it, because Feng Rui's life and death could affect the overall situation of the Nine Realms.

Why did the demon clan stop after conquering half of the Tianshuang Realm? I'm afraid a big part of the reason is that they wanted to wait until Feng Rui died before carrying out the next plan.

Including the question of who will inherit the position of sect leader after Feng Rui's death, which is also a huge problem, because the sect leader of Tianling Sect is not only the common leader of the two major sects, but also holds the most abundant resources in the Nine Realms, which no one can ignore.

Feng Rui did not blame Mu Changsheng for asking the question. She even gave Mu Changsheng an accurate answer: "At my level, I can easily sense my remaining life span. I am indeed going to die, and I will die within ten years. No means of prolonging life will be of any use to me."

You will die within ten years! Mu Changsheng felt heavy-hearted. This time was probably the deadline for world peace, but this time was too short. It was still a question whether he could break through to the Tribulation Realm within ten years.

Feng Rui was very calm. She was not afraid of death. Compared to those friends who had passed away in the past, she had lived nearly ten thousand years longer.

Looking at the young Mu Changsheng in front of her, Feng Rui suddenly asked Mu Changsheng a question: "Who do you think will inherit the position of the sect leader after I die?"

Mu Changsheng was stunned by this sudden question. The ones who were qualified to be the leader of Tianling Sect were naturally Feng Rui's two ninth-level disciples - Xiao Niansheng and Shangguan Qiong.

Yi Qianhuan once asked Mu Changsheng who is more suitable to be the sect leader between Xiao Niansheng and him, and it is not difficult to see from Yi Qianhuan's attitude that Yi Qianhuan obviously prefers Shangguan Qiong to succeed him as the sect leader.

Mu Changsheng pondered for a long time before slowly answering: "Since I joined the sect, I have been practicing in Lingshan Sect for several years. I have seen harmony and order in the sect, which shows that Sect Master Xiao manages well. But I have never met Elder Shangguan, so I naturally don't know whether she is more qualified for the position of Sect Master than Sect Master Xiao. Therefore, I don't know who would be a better Sect Master, so it is difficult to answer the Sect Master's question."

"It's a good answer with good evidence." Feng Rui praised, but did not ask Mu Changsheng any more questions.

Then, Feng Rui said to Mu Changsheng with a pleasant expression: "Go, the future of the Nine Realms still depends on you young people."

"Disciple, I'll take my leave." Mu Changsheng bowed respectfully and took his leave. If nothing unexpected happened, the next time he saw Feng Rui, they would most likely be separated forever. When he thought of this, Mu Changsheng felt very sad.

Feng Rui looked at Mu Changsheng's departing back, and in a trance she seemed to see the shadow of an old friend.

For Feng Rui, whose life is about to come to an end, this is also a kind of comfort that there will be successors.
