At the table, the master and the disciple were chatting more happily. Guo Zhi Liuyun, who had always given the impression of being extremely cruel, opened up his heart to Chu Feng. It was clear that he truly regarded Chu Feng not as an outsider but as his trusted disciple.
Chu Feng learned that Guo Zhi Liuyun had a decent family background when he was young, but due to his parents offending a big figure in Ling Yun Sect, he had to flee.
However, unexpectedly, on the way of escape, someone betrayed them. The people from the major sect came to hunt them down, killing all of his family except for Guo Zhi Liuyun himself. The price he paid for escaping was that his parents were brutally killed.
From then on, Guo Zhi Liuyun rarely trusted others. It could be said that deep down in his heart, he had a coldness towards outsiders and there was a wall between them.
When he was young, it was still okay to talk like this, but as people grew older, they always wanted to find a support, to pass on their skills. Guo Zhi Liuyun was no exception.
Originally, he had a favorable opinion of Leng Wenshi, but later he found out that Leng Wenshi was too selfish and acted too drastically. Leng Wenshi had no friends, only tools he used, and was not worthy of Guo Zhi Liuyun's trust.
However, in terms of talent, it was very difficult to find such a young person like Leng Wenshi in Qingzhou, especially in the Qinglong Sect.
So at that time, Guo Zhi Liuyun was very troubled and hesitated whether to pass on his mantle to Leng Wenshi.
And just at this moment, Chu Feng entered Guo Zhi Liuyun's sight. In fact, Guo Zhi Liuyun had already discovered Chu Feng's identity.
And he found that although Chu Feng sometimes acted impulsively, his motives were not to harm others, but rather to cause great disasters for those around him. Chu Feng's actions, from the perspective of outsiders, might seem foolish, but Guo Zhi Liuyun was extremely fond of it.
As for the matter of Leng Wenshi, it was truly a test by Guo Zhi Liuyun for him. Unfortunately, Leng Wenshi ultimately disappointed Guo Zhi Liuyun.
"Master, after the boundary spirit cultivator makes a contract with the boundary spirit, will there be such a situation?"
"Due to certain reasons, the boundary spirit is severely injured and disappears in the boundary spirit space. The boundary spirit cultivator cannot sense a trace of its presence, but the boundary spirit contract is still valid. "
Taking advantage of Guo Zhi Liuyun's enthusiasm, Chu Feng inquired about the matter of the egg.
"Yes, there is such a situation. After the boundary spirit and the boundary spirit cultivator make a contract, most of them will have difficulty returning to the spirit realm. Unless the contract is terminated or the boundary spirit's power is extraordinary, they will remain in the spiritual world of the boundary spirit cultivator, that is, in the boundary spirit space."
"And as you said, this kind of situation also occurs from time to time. After all, the boundary spirit fights for the boundary spirit cultivator, and battles often result in casualties. As long as the boundary spirit contract is not destroyed, it means the boundary spirit is still alive, only its soul is severely injured and needs to recover for a while."
"A while? How long does this recovery take?" Chu Feng was ecstatic in his heart. As long as the egg was okay, he would be at ease.
"This is hard to say. It could be ten or eight years, or it could take hundreds of years." Guo Zhi Liuyun said indifferently.
"What? So long?"
When he heard this, Chu Feng seemed to have been hit by a huge blow. Ten or eight years, or hundreds of years? That doesn't mean he and the egg, at least, couldn't see each other for ten years? Or even for a lifetime?
"Hey, why are you so nervous? You haven't made a contract with the boundary spirit, have you?" Guo Zhi Liuyun asked mischievously.
"No, of course not. I'm just curious..." Chu Feng hurriedly shook his head. The egg was his secret, and he couldn't let anyone know.
"I think you can't be so extraordinary either. The boundary spirit is a proud creature and very intelligent, its wisdom is not inferior to that of humans, and even higher."
"Frankly speaking, the spiritual world of your master, me, now has such a boundary spirit. However, even though I have been offering worship to him for a long time, he still refuses to enter into a contract with me."
"Although entering into a contract with a boundary spirit can greatly assist in controlling the barrier power and one's own cultivation, it is something that countless boundary spirit masters dream of. But actually, it is very difficult to obtain the recognition of a boundary spirit."
Zuo Fengyun's words contained a touch of pride as well as a sense of loss.
The pride was that as a boundary spirit master, he successfully communicated with a boundary spirit, and this boundary spirit now has the intention to enter into a contract with him.
The loss was that although this boundary spirit had the intention to enter into a contract with him, it had not yet done so. That is to say, he had not yet received the recognition of the boundary spirit. Moreover, he was getting older, and I really don't know if this boundary spirit will enter into a contract with him in his lifetime.
After hearing Zuo Fengyun's words, Chu Feng secretly felt grateful. Grateful that he had a good family. In his boundary spirit space, he had sealed two boundary spirits, and now one has already entered into a contract with him.
Otherwise, if he relied solely on his own exploration, I really don't know when he could enter into a contract with a boundary spirit. Maybe he would never be able to do so like Zuo Fengyun. It might even be like him, unable to enter into a contract with a boundary spirit for his entire life.
However, while expressing gratitude for his family, Chu Feng couldn't help but think of his own family. The various clues at present can all indicate that his family, at least his parents, are very powerful and have very extraordinary means.
And such a powerful person, at least in the past few hundred years of the Jiuzhou Continent, has never appeared. So you can imagine that his parents are people outside of the Jiuzhou Continent.
The universe is vast, and the Jiuzhou Continent is just a tiny part of this universe. Chu Feng doesn't know what the outside world is like, but he can imagine that the outside world is very dangerous. Dangerous enough that even the parents with extraordinary means have to entrust him to be adopted by others.
"Master, if a boundary spirit really suffers a serious injury, can we do nothing but let it recover by itself? We boundary spirit masters have no other way to do this?" After a chat, Chu Feng cleverly shifted the topic to this.
"Yes, of course. The reason why boundary spirits are willing to enter into a contract with boundary spirit masters and give up their own living environment and be imprisoned in that narrow spiritual world is because the living world has great benefits for them."
"Boundary spirits have a long lifespan. Unlike us humans, whose cultivation is very strong but have a lifespan of only a hundred years, boundary spirits can live for at least three hundred years. It is said that some powerful boundary spirits can live for several thousand years."
So this is why the boundary spirits are willing to enter into a contract with the boundary spirit masters, to survive in that narrow spiritual realm. Because when the boundary spirit master dies, the contract will be terminated, and the boundary spirits will be able to return to the boundary spirit world. And at that time, the things he obtained from the boundary spirit master will become the capital for him to establish himself in the boundary spirit world.
