No hope for eternal life

Chapter 143 Don’t Look Outside for Help

Yang Wuque stuffed the storage bag into Mu Changsheng's hand, shook his head slightly and said: "After I was injured, I asked for help from the Lord of the Divine Protection Nation. The Lord of the Divine Protection Nation told me directly that with my injury, there is no cure in the Nine Realms, so the spirit stones are of no use to me."

After hearing this, Mu Changsheng was willing to accept the spirit stone, but he couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart: "A man like you really shouldn't be seriously injured like this."

Yang Wuque suddenly asked, "Mu Changsheng, are you willing to become my disciple?"

Mu Changsheng was startled at first, then he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying respectfully: "Disciple is willing."

"Very good." Yang Wuque helped Mu Changsheng up and said with a smile: "From now on, you are my disciple, and it is very likely that you will be my only disciple in this life. I admit that I underestimated you before. From now on, I will definitely do my best to teach you."

"Also, from now on, we will still address each other as teacher and student. There is no need to let others know about this."

Mu Changsheng said respectfully: "I will follow your orders, sir."

Mu Changsheng also understood Yang Wuque's good intentions. Before, Yang Wuque had not agreed to accept Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun as his disciples. Now Yang Wuque accepted only Mu Changsheng as his disciple. If Mu Xun knew about this, he would inevitably feel resentful.

Then, Yang Wuque took out a brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and while writing, he said: "When other people become disciples, the master will give them some treasures, but I am now penniless and have nothing to give away. But I still have to give you something, so I will give you four words."

As soon as Yang Wuque finished speaking, the four characters were complete, and Mu Changsheng read them out word by word: "Don't - seek - outside."

Don't seek outside! When Mu Changsheng saw these four words, he was shocked.

Yang Wuque on the side explained: "The ancient sage once said: Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. This is regarded as a lifelong truth. Later, I vaguely saw these four words 'Do not seek outside' on a broken ancient book. For many years, I have deeply believed in them. In my humble opinion, these four words can also be practiced throughout life, so I share them with you."

After being shocked, Mu Changsheng bowed to Yang Wuque and said, "Thank you for the gift of words, sir. I have understood the meaning of it and will remember these four words and practice them for the rest of my life."

Mu Changsheng was distracted tonight, actually it was because of the sudden appearance of Mo Lianyue. Her strength made Mu Changsheng's heart waver, but Mo Lianyue was Mu Qunxian's Taoist partner and Mu Xun's mother, and had nothing to do with him. This made him feel a little jealous that he was unwilling to admit.

The four words that Yang Wuque gave Mu Changsheng struck Mu Changsheng's heart directly, making Mu Changsheng's mind suddenly enlightened and he understood everything. No matter how powerful Mo Lianyue and Mu Qunxian were, it had nothing to do with him. Being able to live next to Mu Xun's family and having Mo Lianyue willing to give him some guidance was already a blessing that he could not ask for. He should not and could not ask for more.

Seeing this, Yang Wuque knew that Mu Changsheng had understood what he meant, and said with satisfaction: "Very good, since ancient times, mice have their own ways, and cats have their own ways. The key is to see who can go further on the road."

Then, Yang Wuque asked again: "I heard you talking with the golden-armored guard during the day. You said you would return to the capital of the Kamikaze Kingdom in half a month. Why is that?"

Mu Changsheng did not hide this and immediately told him everything about the large spirit stone mine and the Six Nations Trial.

Yang Wuque frowned upon hearing this, and finally could not help but blame Mu Changsheng: "You are too reckless and careless in this matter. This is about the ownership of a large spiritual stone mine. The fight among the six nations will be extremely fierce. The so-called Jindan Realm Trial is just something on the surface. Someone may overturn the table at any time. If you, a small Jindan Realm, are involved in it, you may be wiped out if you are not careful."

As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the more severe the blame. Mu Changsheng felt warm in his heart after hearing the blame, and explained: "Everything has risks. I may be hit by a meteorite when I walk on the road. The teacher once said that I like to worry about things that may happen. Now I no longer worry about things that may happen. I just want to seek immortality. This Six Nations Trial is both a crisis and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. In addition, the daughter of the king is also participating in this trial. The king can't just abandon his daughter casually."

Yang Wuque listened to Mu Changsheng's explanation, which was reasonable and well-founded. His expression eased, and he sighed and said, "Well, you have already made the inner demon oath, and it is too late to regret. What you need to do now is to seize the time to improve your strength. Follow me."

Afterwards, Yang Wuque brought Mu Changsheng to the courtyard, stretched out his hand and said, "Attack me with all your strength, don't worry about hurting me."

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly. He knew that Yang Wuque had also practiced the secret art of nine transformations of his physical body, and must have reached a relatively high level. His physical body was many times stronger than his own. With his own strength, it might only be enough to tickle Yang Wuque.

So, Mu Changsheng mobilized the muscles of his whole body, and his fist intention became more condensed after Mo Lianyue's guidance. At this time, all the fist intention and strength were concentrated on his right fist. Then, Mu Changsheng punched out with all his strength, straight to Yang Wuque's chest.

"Bang!" With a dull sound, Yang Wuque's left hand easily grasped Mu Changsheng's attacking right fist. Then Yang Wuque quickly pointed out with his right finger and hit Mu Changsheng's waist. Mu Changsheng had no time to dodge.

"Hiss." Mu Changsheng sucked in a breath of cold air. He didn't know how much force Yang Wuque used in this finger, but it made Mu Changsheng feel as if all the bones in his body were broken, and he collapsed to the ground.

“Get up!” Yang Wuque shouted coldly, completely different from his usual gentle appearance. He then explained: “I only used the strength of the middle stage of the Golden Core. When you can last fifty moves without falling under my hands, you will be considered qualified.”

"Fifty moves!" Mu Changsheng screamed in shock, his heart trembling. He was defeated by just one move.

"If you don't get hurt and bleed now, you may lose your life when the trial comes. Of course, you can also refuse and turn around and leave me, and our relationship as master and disciple will end here." Yang Wuque said lightly.

Mu Changsheng climbed up, stopped complaining, and raised his fist to attack Yang Wuque again.

"Bang!" "Ah." Mu Changsheng screamed and fell to the ground again.

In order to prevent Mu Changsheng's screams from disturbing others, Yang Wuque also specially arranged some means in the yard to isolate the sound.

While Yang Wuque was brutally torturing Mu Changsheng, he also did not forget to stimulate Mu Changsheng with words to shake his will: "Bang! Is it amazing to be third in the palace examination?"

"Bang! You are just a poor man from the bottom of society, do you think you can rise to the top?"

Mu Changsheng was dizzy after being hit twice, but he was not moved at all. He tried his best to grab the corner of Yang Wuque's clothes. It was impossible for him to last fifty moves at the beginning, so Mu Changsheng set a small goal for himself first: to grab the corner of Yang Wuque's clothes.

……

Some are happy while others are sad. Qin Xuan of the Qin family was full of worry at this time because he had just learned that Mu Changsheng had returned and was afraid that Mu Changsheng would come to trouble him.

The uneasy Qin Xuan could only find his father Qin Mingyuan for comfort. Qin Xuan broke into the courtyard and saw Qin Mingyuan in the yard. He hurriedly shouted: "Dad, have you heard? Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun are back."

Qin Mingyuan turned around when he heard this and saw Qin Xuan. A hint of impatience flashed across his face and he said lightly: "What are you afraid of? Can Mu Changsheng come to kill you?"

"Dad, he was the third place in the palace examination. He can't kill me now, but in the future, our entire Qin family may be targeted by him." Qin Xuan said uneasily.

Qin Mingyuan held his forehead slightly. He really couldn't like such an unlucky son. Then, Qin Mingyuan suddenly said something inexplicable: "If I give you a chance to kill Mu Changsheng, do you want it?"
