48. Box
After the box was opened, a quaint key lay quietly in the box, and there were complicated patterns on the key, but the patterns made Yang Qingyun extremely familiar.
"This key" Yang Qingyun frowned suspiciously, pinched the key with his fingers, rubbed it gently, and thought quietly for a long time.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Qingyun remembered why he felt that the pattern on this key was familiar.
A few years ago, Yang Qingyun took a box from the treasure house of Biya Sect, and the pattern on the box was very similar to the pattern on the key.
Yang Qingyun found the box in the corner of the game backpack, placed it on the stone table with the key, and studied it carefully.
"How do you open this?" Jiang Mingyuan curiously looked at the boxes and keys that were placed side by side on the stone table, and raised his hand to dial it.
Yang Qingyun raised his hand to pick up the box, looked around, the box was like a whole, and even the patterns on the box were exceptionally smooth and coherent.
The fair-skinned and slender fingers groped around on the box, Yang Qingyun carefully felt the direction of the patterns on the box, and for a while, the look on his face changed from doubt to surprise. Finally, his subordinates pressed slightly, as if something had been pressed on the box.
The quaint box made a subtle "click" sound, as if some delicate mechanism had been opened, and the intricate patterns on the box slowly flowed, and finally a key mouth appeared.
"How did you do it!!" Jiang Mingyuan's eyes widened in surprise and looked at Yang Qingyun with adoring eyes.
Yang Qingyun ignored him, only raised his hand and pinched the key on the side, tentatively inserted the key into the keyhole on the box, and gently rotated it to the right with a slight force in his hand.
The key was opened to the right, and the pattern on the box flowed again, revealing a slight gap, Yang Qingyun took out the key, raised his hand to hold the top of the box, and gently opened the box.
The box was covered with black flannel, and a warm yellow pill was lying quietly, and even a faint light was emitted.
"What is this?" Jiang Mingyuan asked as he looked at the pill in the box suspiciously.
Yang Qingyun raised his hand and pinched the pill, and as soon as he put it in front of him, the name attribute of the pill automatically appeared in his mind.
Pei Yuan Dan, a special drug, can greatly increase the cultivation of the immortal family.
Doesn't that mean that you can improve your level Yang Qingyun was stunned, looked up at Jiang Mingyuan, and then remembered that he hadn't noticed how many levels Jiang Mingyuan had been promoted to.
Before Jiang Mingyuan went down the mountain, the level was level 91 at the peak of Yuanying, but now after he came back, the level had become level 93 in the middle stage of the gods.
In this world of cultivating immortals, where it is more difficult to upgrade in the future, Jiang Mingyuan has been promoted by two levels in two years, which is already quite fast.
The Pei Yuan Dan was turning between his fingers, Yang Qingyun glanced at Jiang Mingyuan, hesitated for a long time before saying: "This is the Pei Yuan Dan, taking it can increase cultivation is just this medicine, the time is too long, I don't know if there is any medicinal effect." ”
Jiang Mingyuan blinked suspiciously, and after a while, he looked at the pill in Yang Qingyun's hand and said, "The effect of the medicine?
"Huh?" Yang Qingyun looked at him suspiciously, and before he could react, he saw Jiang Mingyuan reach out and take the Peiyuan Pill from his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.
Lying ?!! Yang Qingyun was still holding the pill in his hand, looking at Jiang Mingyuan in shock.
If it weren't for his understanding of Jiang Mingyuan's simple and rude nature, he would have wondered if this person deliberately wanted to improve his cultivation before taking his pills.
"Eh, how do you feel?" Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, after eating Pei Yuandan, he sat in place in a daze, and Yang Qingyun couldn't help but poke him worriedly.
As soon as he poked it twice, he saw a faint golden light around Jiang Mingyuan's body, and the whole person seemed to be settled, and his eyes were closed.
Yang Qingyun was stunned, and looked at the blood bar at the top of Jiang Mingyuan's source, the level before the blood bar jumped from level 93 to level 94, and then from level 94 to level 95.
It turns out that this drastically increased cultivation is real, this is directly upgraded by two levels! Yang Qingyun's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't expect this Pei Yuan Pill to be so powerful, just like the Jiuyang Cultivation Pill in Sword Three, which can directly raise a person's level from level 1 to level 90. It's just that this Pei Yuan Dan is not as powerful as the Jiuyang Cultivation Pill, and it only raised Jiang Mingyuan's level by two levels.
Although it is only two levels, in the eyes of immortal cultivators, it is also a treasure-like existence. After all, the path of cultivating immortals is not all smooth, some people can quickly improve their cultivation, and some people will not be able to move forward for years or even decades. As a result, this Pei Yuan Dan could almost be said to be something that all immortal cultivators dreamed of, and then it was eaten casually by Jiang Mingyuan
"I was wrong! I won't dare next time!!" Jiang Mingyuan followed behind Yang Qingyun bitterly, watching the man walk around the hall, not knowing what he was looking for, but he just ignored him.
Jiang Mingyuan was so anxious that Yang Qingyun ignored him, so he had to follow Yang Qingyun pitifully and turn around, pinching Yang Qingyun's sleeve with one hand.
Listening to the man's incessant chatter behind him, Yang Qingyun couldn't help but rub his brows helplessly, turned his head to look at the sleeve pinched by him, raised his hand and tugged at it, and said expressionlessly: "Let go!"
"I don't!" Jiang Mingyuan immediately glared, as if he would fly away as soon as he let Yang Qingyun go.
Yang Qingyun turned to look at him, sighed a little helplessly, and said, "I don't blame you, why do you make it look like I'm bullying you?"
"But" Jiang Mingyuan frowned in distress and said, "That Pei Yuan Dan is so precious, I ate it casually without your consent."
"I was going to give it to you, but I was afraid that it would take too long and there would be any side effects after the medicine took effect. Yang Qingyun snatched back his sleeve with force in his hand, frowned and smoothed the folds on his sleeve that had been pinched out with excessive force, and then said: "Didn't you say that you want to protect me? Now that your cultivation has caught up with me, how good, you won't need me to protect you in the future." ”
"That makes sense!" Jiang Mingyuan nodded, and when he saw Yang Qingyun turning his head to look for something again, he couldn't help but follow curiously, and asked, "What are you looking for?" ”
Yang Qingyun put down the book in his hand, turned to the other side of the shelf, flipped through the ancient books on the shelf, and then said: "Master said that there are many exercises and cheats left by him in this Yuqing Palace, and your cultivation has increased greatly, I am looking for you to find out if there are any exercises suitable for you to use now." ”
After all, Jiang Mingyuan is the aboriginal of this world, unlike Yang Qingyun, who came through with a game character, even if it is normal to directly increase the level, Yang Qingyun doesn't know if Jiang Mingyuan has any side effects of directly forcibly raising the level like this, after Jiang Mingyuan ate the Pei Yuan Pill, Yang Qingyun asked him carefully how he felt, and only knew that there was nothing unusual, thinking of the fact that Uncle Nanhe had been promoted too fast before, and only thought about whether he should let Jiang Mingyuan go down the mountain to practice by himself.
Recently, there is no major event in Jiuhua Mountain, but Uncle Nanhe went to retreat and cultivate, and Uncle Zisu was busy bringing newcomers and the like, and he couldn't see a figure all day long, Yang Qingyun couldn't find anyone to consult and discuss for a while, so he simply sent a message to Yuchijun, and then received a reply saying that he asked him to find the secret book of the exercises he left before in the Yuqing Palace, so that Jiang Mingyuan could retreat and practice well to consolidate his cultivation.
Yang Qingyun almost flipped through the Yuqing Palace, and only then did he find the secret book of exercises in Yuchi Jun's mouth.
"This is for you, you take it back and study it carefully, and it's best to practice in retreat. Yang Qingyun handed the secret book to Jiang Mingyuan, and when he saw that he had accepted it, he said: "Your cultivation is already in the Mahayana period now, and this secret book records the wonderful mental method of Jiuhua Mountain, and even has the master's own annotation, which will definitely be of great benefit to you." ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to retreat, Jiang Mingyuan frowned very dissatisfied, and said, "I just came back, and I haven't stayed with you enough, so you're going to drive me to retreat and cultivate!"
"Hmm. Yang Qingyun nodded, looked at Jiang Mingyuan, who was almost full of sad faces, and said warmly: "You retreat and cultivate, if you comprehend quickly, maybe you will be able to come out soon." ”
Jiang Mingyuan was about to speak, when an inner disciple came straight in from outside the Yuqing Palace, and he saluted Yang Qingyun with a panicked expression, and said hurriedly: "Head of Qiqi, Senior Brother Xu Ling went to the Ethereal Peak alone, and he didn't come out for half a day, the disciple is very worried."
"Ethereal Peak?!!" Yang Qingyun's eyes widened in shock, and then his expression became angry, and he said coldly: "Which of you sued him about Ethereal Peak?"
Ethereal Peak has always been a place where people are detained in Jiuhua Mountain, and there are disciples in the door who have committed a major mistake and have been thrown into Ethereal Peak.
Ethereal Peak has not had a new member for a long time, and the most recent time he threw people in was two years ago, when the monster who came to seek revenge against Yang Qingyun was caught by Yang Qingyun and Yuchi Jun and imprisoned in Ethereal Peak.
Later, Yang Qingyun really turned his head and forgot about such a person, and he didn't know if Yuchijun went to interrogate him later, but he only knew that that person had been locked up in the Ethereal Peak and could not come out, and he was quite angry all day.
Now Xu Ling actually broke into the Ethereal Peak alone, and he was not accompanied by a special disciple, if he met the monster who had been locked up for two years and was resentful, not to mention that he was still a thirteen-year-old child who had only been apprenticed for two years, even if Yang Qingyun went in by himself, he was not sure that he would be able to get out of the way.
Therefore, when he heard that Xu Ling had entered the Ethereal Peak and had not come out for half a day, Yang Qingyun's face changed immediately.
After all, this is the first apprentice in his life, and he has been teaching seriously for two years, and now he has entered the Ethereal Peak alone, with his cultivation, it must be more auspicious, Yang Qingyun can't care about instructing Jiang Mingyuan anymore, and let that disciple lead the way to the Ethereal Peak at the moment
Ethereal Peak is located in the corner of Jiuhua Mountain, there are special disciples guarding it on weekdays, and there are also special formations around, and the disciples in the general door are forbidden to enter, just like the forbidden forest of Jiuhua Mountain.
Yang Qingyun didn't know how Xu Ling avoided the guards of the Ethereal Peak, and how he broke through the mountain protection formation, so he only carefully inquired about the inner disciple who came to report the news.
The inner disciple only said that when he handed over with the last group of mountain guarding disciples, he saw that the two disciples looked sluggish, as if they had been hit by some ** method, and immediately used the Qingxin technique to wake them up, only to know that these two people had seen Xu Ling before, and only talked to him once, but for some reason they lost consciousness in a daze, and when they woke up, it was already time to change shifts, and the mountain protection formation behind them had also been destroyed.
The matter is serious, and the Ethereal Peak formation was broken, and the people imprisoned in it did not know where to go, so these disciples had to leave one person to continue to guard in front of the mountain gate, and the others went to inform Yang Qing and Yunnan He.
When Yang Qingyun and Jiang Mingyuan arrived at the Ethereal Peak, Nanhe and Zisu, the two uncles, had arrived, and it seemed that they had just arrived, and they were gathering together to discuss something in a low voice, and when they saw Yang Qingyun coming, they all looked at him.
Nan He beckoned to Yang Qingyun, and only after he walked in front of him did he ask, "That apprentice of yours, the one he accepted at the apprenticeship conference two years ago?"
"Yes. Yang Qingyun nodded, looked at Nan He suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"At present, they don't know that this mountain protection formation has been broken, and there is a strong demonic aura left in the mountain gate, and before that, they have only seen Xu Ling alone. Nan He looked at the Ethereal Peak with a complicated expression, his tone paused, and suddenly his expression changed, and he exclaimed: "No, this mountain protection formation has been changed, and this has clearly become a demon gathering array!!"
"What is the Demon Gathering Array?" Jiang Mingyuan followed and looked at the Ethereal Peak, frowning in confusion.
Zi Su, who had stood quietly for a long time and had not spoken, opened his mouth to explain: "The Demon Gathering Array is the evil sect formation of the Demon Dao, which is specially used to forcibly gather strong demonic qi to summon one's own kind, even more powerful demons than oneself. ”
It's not a good thing when you hear it!" Yang Qingyun frowned, but he still couldn't understand why Xu Ling would come to this ethereal peak. If no one informs them, the disciples who have just entered Jiuhua Mountain will not know about the existence of the Ethereal Peak, and besides, the formation of the Ethereal Peak has been stored for a long time, and it is not something that Xu Ling's cultivation can break through at all.
The demonic qi near this Ethereal Peak Formation was a thick black mist in Yang Qingyun's eyes, slowly drifting in the air, sometimes intense, sometimes shallow, although it was far away, it made Yang Qingyun very uncomfortable when he arrived, and it reminded him of the days when he was thrown into the body by demonic qi and then thrown into the Jingqi Mountain to soak in the cold spring.
Nan He frowned and looked at the few disciples guarding the mountain, and ordered a bunch of things to them, then looked at Yang Qingyun and the others, and said, "Okay, the top priority is to repair the mountain protection formation first, and then go into the mountain to check the situation." ”
