Five Elements Sacred Secret

Chapter 188 Nie Jie

"I just heard your understanding of the Dao of Alchemy outside. You won't blame me for eavesdropping, right?" Nie Jiewei didn't dwell on the previous topic anymore and asked instead.

Mu Xiaofeng thought to himself that he had really guessed it right, and thought to himself, dare I blame him? If he slapped me later, I'm afraid I would be wiped out.

"I dare not, I dare not, Senior Nie, please give me some advice." Mu Xiaofeng said sincerely.

"I definitely don't deserve it, but your argument is very similar to that of an old friend of mine." Nie Jiewei said to Mu Xiaofeng.

Mu Xiaofeng could only say: "I think Senior Nie's old friend must also be a master. I guess I'll have to ask for his advice. I'd like to thank Senior Nie for introducing me."

"I'm afraid that introduction won't work, because there was a shocking battle back then and there is still no news until today." Nie Jie said calmly.

"Oh, so that's the case. That's a bit of a pity." Mu Xiaofeng said with some regret.

Nie Jie asked again: "Your understanding of the Dao of Alchemy should not be from the Qingfeng Sect, right?"

Mu Xiaofeng was a little confused and didn't know what Nie Jie meant.

Perhaps sensing Mu Xiaofeng's puzzled look, Nie Jie explained, "Your understanding is unique, but you are not the only one who came up with this idea in Tianhuang Continent from ancient times to the present. There were many predecessors who had similar ideas to yours."

Mu Xiaofeng said honestly: "I don't know these, but I don't know which seniors there are?"

"The most recent era to the present is Ye Huantian tens of thousands of years ago. I have discussed Taoism with him before and heard some of his understandings on the Dao of Alchemy, which are similar to what you mean. It's a pity that he didn't specifically follow this path, so I don't know what the subsequent results will be." Nie Jie added.

When Mu Xiaofeng heard Ye Huantian, his emotions obviously fluctuated.

Mu Xiaofeng raised his head and looked at Nie Jie, wanting to see if Nie Jie noticed anything unusual. He found that Nie Jie was still as calm as ever.

"Is that so? Didn't he leave behind any insights into the way of alchemy?" Mu Xiaofeng asked.

This is a question that I really want to ask, because although Mu Xiaofeng has inherited Ye Huantian's martial arts, he did not find anything left in terms of alchemy.

"I've never heard of this. The reason I came here is that this road may really be a different road, and perhaps you can improve it." When Nie Jie said these words, his tone was very sincere.

Mu Xiaofeng understood what Nie Jiexuan meant, which was actually to take the path of alchemy.

Although Mu Xiaofeng thought this path was possible, there had never been any alchemy practitioner in the past and present, just like Nie Jiezhe and Shi Qingfeng, who all took the path of alchemy and martial arts dual cultivation. Nie Jiezhe wanted Mu Xiaofeng to completely follow the path of alchemy cultivation.

"I understand what Senior Nie means, but my path may not be the same." Even though Nie Jie's cultivation level is here, Mu Xiaofeng still cannot follow Nie Jie's meaning. His path is definitely not the path of alchemy. This feeling is not groundless, but is based on Mu Xiaofeng's feeling in the dark after practicing for so long.

"You don't have to make a decision so hastily. Generally, a cultivator's path will not be felt until he breaks through the Void Realm and advances to the Cauldron Realm. It is not until he reaches the True Transformation Realm that he can understand his own path." Nie Jiezhe advised.

Mu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "It's really too early to say that now."

"But it's not too early for my disciple. I discovered very early on that she has pure wood spiritual roots and was born to follow the path of alchemy. But I feel more and more that the path I arranged for her at that time may have some problems." When Nie Jiewei said these words, Mu Xiaofeng could clearly feel that Nie Jiewei did have some regrets.

Mu Xiaofeng comforted him, "It's not like you can't go on this road yet, so I don't think there will be any problems with this road."

Mu Xiaofeng couldn't make a judgment on this matter. It was not easy to tell whether Nie Jie was right or wrong. Many people would envy him for having a ninth-rank alchemist paving the way for him. But the path of alchemy was indeed narrow for Misong, and there was something arranged in it.

"At that time, I thought that with myself as a ninth-level alchemist, there shouldn't be any problems in the future. But after all these years, I feel that the ninth-level alchemist may be just the beginning. In the past twenty years, I can say that I have made almost no progress in the way of alchemy. So over the years, I have been traveling around with Yusong and letting her communicate with various alchemists, hoping that she can rely on her own abilities to make her own way." Nie Jieyu was a little helpless, as if expressing his dissatisfaction with himself over the years.

It seems that the road to Misong is indeed a bit difficult to walk on.

"It's not clear what path I will take. But I will tell Yusong what I understand about the way of alchemy." Mu Xiaofeng didn't know how to comment on this matter, so he could only say this.

Nie Jie let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's the only way now."

After a pause, Nie Jie said, "This is the first time I've said these words in all these years, and I feel much better. Little brother, if you have anything to do in Dan City, you can come to me. I won't bother you young people anymore."

After Nie Jie finished speaking, he turned around and walked out without waiting for Mu Xiaofeng to speak.

After Nie Jieyu left, Misong and Qingfeng came in right away. They were not far away, but they didn't hear anything that was being talked about in the room.

"What did you say? It looks like my master is in a bad mood?" Misong asked hurriedly after coming in.

Qingfeng confirmed that Mu Xiaofeng was fine and seemed relieved.

Thinking of what Nie Jiewei said, Mu Xiaofeng guessed that Misong might not know his current situation.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaofeng naturally couldn't put pressure on Yusong, so he made a joke: "Nothing, Senior Nie said he wanted to propose marriage. He asked me some basic information."

"Ah?" Misong's face turned red instantly.

Qingfeng on the side also became nervous instantly.

"I was just kidding, but you took it seriously." Mu Xiaofeng said quickly.

Mu Xiaofeng quickly changed the subject and started talking about alchemy.
