The mysterious old man's words immediately made Nie Tianxing excited, as if he was in a dream.

"call out!"

At this time, a sound broke through the air, and an old man with white beard and hair, wearing a white robe, appeared in a flash, looking at Nie Tianxing in shock.

"I've met Elder Yuan!" Gu Qiuxue and the disciples of Tiandao Sect immediately said respectfully. They were all secretly shocked that Elder Yuan was even alarmed.

"Little brother, what's your name?" Elder Yuan looked at Nie Tianxing and asked.

"Nie Tianxing!"

"Nie Tianxing?" Elder Yuan's face changed slightly. He was obviously aware of this person's existence, and his face became even more confused.

After looking at Nie Tianxing for a moment, Elder Yuan couldn't help but frown and said, "Why did that true energy disappear just now? I can't even see the slightest fluctuation of true energy in your body! What on earth is going on?"

The terrifying true energy alarmed the elder, and Nie Tianxing couldn't help but feel extremely excited. Maybe this elder Yuan could really help him erase his reputation as a waste.

"Little brother, can you completely hide your true power?" Elder Yuan asked in confusion as he could not see the fluctuation of true power in Nie Tianxing's body.

"Elder Yuan, he...is he really at the Yuanying stage?" The senior brother couldn't help but ask. This is simply unbelievable. A fifteen-year-old boy has Yuanying stage.

In such a state, no one would believe it if I told it.

Seeing Nie Tianxing hesitate to speak, Elder Yuan also saw Nie Tianxing's dilemma and immediately said: "Qiu Xue, Iron King, I only accept two disciples, Nie Tianxing and this little brother, you can let the sect master arrange the rest."

"Elder Yuan, this junior is called Kuang Mie." Elder Yuan was talking about the big boy.

"Kuan Mie? What an arrogant name, but I like it! Come with me." Elder Yuan was slightly surprised, then nodded and smiled, motioning for the two of them to leave with him.

"Xingyun, go check Nie Tianxing's origins right away. This guy is a little weird." Situ Nan said to himself, his voice was not loud, and he spoke to the air.

"Yes! Master! I will go and check immediately." A respectful voice sounded in Situ Nan's mind.

"Tiandao Sect's recruitment of disciples once every five years is over. Please go back. If you have a long journey, you can rest at Tiandao Sect for one night." King Tie said loudly to the people in the square, and then left.

Tiandao Sect covers a huge area. In addition to the main palace and surrounding palaces, the peaks around Tiandao Sect are the beautiful places for elders. There are six peaks in total, and each peak has a sky bridge leading to the main peak.

There is a magnificent palace built on each mountain peak, and each palace has a palace master. The affairs of the mountain peak are usually managed by the palace master, and the elders generally rarely appear.

The mountain peak where Elder Yuan is located is called Qingyun Peak, and the palace is called Qingyun Palace. Qingyun Palace is an exception. The huge palace does not have a single disciple, not even the master of the palace. There is only Elder Yuan, and now Nie Tianxing and Kuang Mie are included.

Just three people.

When they came to the Qingyun Palace Square, they saw that there was no one in the huge square. Nie Tianxing and Kuang Mie were stunned. Kuang Mie couldn't help but asked: "Elder Yuan, why is there no one here? Are all the disciples of Qingyun Palace?

Have you been in retreat?"

"I never accept disciples, and Qingyun Palace does not have the position of palace master. There is only me. I like to practice in a quiet place." Elder Yuan smiled slightly, and then introduced each other: "The place where you live is in the back mountain. In the future,

The practice is also in the back mountain. There is a bamboo forest on the left. There is plenty of spiritual energy in the bamboo forest. You can also go to the bamboo forest to practice. Don't touch the flowers and grass on the right. They are herbs used for alchemy."

"Yes!" Nie Tianxing and Kuang Mie nodded respectfully.

"Your task is to familiarize yourself with everything here. You can practice with ease in the future. Kuang Mie, you should familiarize yourself with the surroundings first. I have some things to ask Tianxing." Elder Yuan said with a smile. He knew Nie Tianxing's difficulties, so he took Kuang Mie first.

Opened.

"Okay!" Kuang Mie nodded and glanced at Nie Tianxing before turning and leaving.

A month passed, but the mysterious old man did not appear again, which made Nie Tianxing disappointed again.

Nie Tianxing walked aimlessly. Helpless and desperate, he couldn't help but think of what happened in the bamboo forest of Xianyun Sect, and he came to the bamboo forest without knowing it.

In his mind, he thought of the happy conversation with Ling Yue in the bamboo forest, of Yang Yuntian and others beating him up, of Ye Feng rushing towards Ling Yue angrily, of the words Ling Yue said before she died, and of being with Ling Yue constantly playing in his mind.

Over time, tears rolled down his face, and he felt extremely heartbroken, as if there were countless heart-eating worms devouring his heart.

Nie Tianxing stood quietly in the bamboo forest alone. As Nie Tianxing's sad aura filled the air, the bamboo forest seemed to be colored, with large bamboo leaves falling, filling the air with sadness.

"Brother Tianxing, Yue'er will always be with you."

"Brother Tianxing, I will marry Brother Tianxing when Yue'er grows up. I will not marry anyone except Brother Tianxing."

"Brother Tianxing, you must work hard to practice. Yue'er will always be with you. You will definitely become a super genius in our empire!"

"Brother Tianxing, you are the best. You are definitely not useless. Yue'er believes in you! You must cheer up and don't give up."

Ling Yue's laughter resounded in Nie Tianxing's mind again. Every memory made Nie Tianxing happy, but at the same time, it also made him feel a deep sense of self-blame.

"What's going on with that sound? Is it my imagination?" Nie Tianxing smiled sourly, his helpless face full of sadness.

"Tian Xing! Tian Xing!" Not long after, Kuang Mie came to the bamboo forest and called twice, only to see Nie Tianxing standing in the bamboo forest, motionless.

He trotted up and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Tian Xing, I finally found you. Just hope you're okay. I've already prepared the food for you. Having something to eat will help your cultivation."

In the past month, Kuang Mie took great care of Nie Tianxing. Even though Nie Tianxing rarely spoke, Kuang Mie still cared about him.

From that day on, Nie Tianxing never left the bamboo forest. He stayed there for half a year. Only in the bamboo forest, thinking of Ling Yue, Nie Tianxing reluctantly persisted. If he didn't miss Ling Yue, Nie Tianxing would

I'm afraid it's long gone.

In the past six months, in addition to practicing every day, Kuang Mie also delivered meals to Nie Tianxing on time and never stopped. For this, Nie Tianxing was extremely grateful. Unfortunately, he did not cheer up at all, and instead became more decadent and desperate.

The reputation of a waste and the death of the person he loved were two heavy blows. If he hadn't been a strong-willed person, he would have lost the courage to live long ago.

For half a year, Nie Tianxing was immersed in sadness and despair. At the age of sixteen, his hair had grown white, and he looked extremely haggard and frail.

Wearing a white robe, his white hair fluttered in the breeze. Viewed from the side, it added a bit of handsomeness, but viewed from the front, his face looked decadent and colorless.

The quiet bamboo forest was suddenly broken by a burst of noisy footsteps, and several Tiandao Sect disciples appeared in the bamboo forest.

"Brother, why are we here asking for bamboo?" a disciple asked.

"The jade slips of the sect are all made of fairy bamboo from Qingyun Palace. Fairy bamboo has spiritual energy, and the bamboo forest is also a good place for cultivation. The elder asked us to get bamboo, so naturally it is used for making jade slips, and it is also a good place for cultivation.

Only Qingyun Palace has fairy bamboo." A senior brother explained.

"Hey! Senior brother, look, there's an old man there!" A disciple suddenly saw Nie Tianxing with white hair, and thought he was an old man.

"It's him? What...what's going on?" Situ Nan looked at Nie Tianxing in surprise. He couldn't believe his eyes. In just half a year, Nie Tianxing had become like this.

"Junior brother, do you know him?" a senior brother asked.

Situ Nan nodded: "Senior Brother Changfeng, he is the useless Nie Tianxing from the Shenzhou Empire who I told you was unable to cultivate true energy. I sent people to check it out half a year ago, but in just half a year, he

My hair is white."

Yang Changfeng said in shock: "So he is Nie Tianxing. What's so strange about having white hair? Isn't it because he can't cultivate his true power, which leads to despair in his heart?" A disciple said disdainfully. For a waste, they would naturally laugh at them.

Already.

Situ Nan slowly walked to the decadent Nie Tianxing, looked at Nie Tianxing coldly, and said contemptuously with a flash of eyes: "Nie Tianxing, I never thought that you, a waste of the Shenzhou Empire, would come to worship Tiandao Sect. It seems that Yuan

Even the elders can't help you get rid of the reputation of a waste. In half a year, you have become like a human being and a ghost."

"You don't have to worry about my affairs, get out of here!" Nie Tianxing glanced at Situ Nan with a decadent gaze and said coldly, with a hint of anger in his words.

"Yo? You're so arrogant. You dare to look down on the young master of the Situ family! Isn't he just a loser? What's so great about him?" a disciple said scornfully.

"Nie Tianxing, I have to admire the fact that you came to Tiandao Sect from the Shenzhou Empire alone, but if you want to avenge your Ling Yue, let alone this life, even if I give you the next life, I can't avenge you. Although I am not

You are a member of the Shenzhou Empire, but I have checked your case. You have been unable to practice true energy since you were a child. You were kicked out by the Nie family and sent to the Xianyun Sect as a coolie. This has been the case for fifteen years." Situ Nan laughed, his eyes

Full of disdain.

Situ Nan's words deeply tore open the scars in Nie Tianxing's heart. A surge of anger surged into his heart. His heart was like a knife, and his brain was so painful that it almost exploded. All kinds of ridicules and insults in the past were constantly playing in his mind.

Especially the scene where Ling Yue was killed was even more unforgettable for him, and the more he thought about it, the more painful it became.

"Ah!" The painful Nie Tianxing suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, and the birds in the bamboo forest were so frightened that they fled away.
