Quiet night.

In a remote and quiet cave, a few rays of cold moonlight shone into the cave through the cracks in the stone overhead, shining on the young man's resolute and stoic cheeks.

Xia Gui carefully opened the wooden box, looked at the loot that he had finally obtained, the Qi Condensing Pill, and then swallowed it into his throat without blinking his eyes. As the pill entered the abdomen, a warm current slowly surged from the dantian and rose towards the eight veins of the Qi Sutra.

This familiar feeling of being nourished by the elixir was finally relived again. In the past month or so, the body that has lost its cultivation is too thirsty, and when the energy of the Qi Condensing Pill continues to spread out from the dantian, the body is like a dry and scorched soil that has encountered spring rain, and it begins to absorb and plunder frantically.

Xia Gui hurriedly crossed his knees upright, and the trace of transparent breath rolled over the limbs and bones that flowed through Xia Gui, flowing smoothly in the veins.

The breath circulated for three small weeks, constantly warming his somewhat weak qi and blood. Finally, under Xia Gui's pranayama over and over again, his complexion gradually began to become rosy, and the excess energy in the Qi Condensing Pill also spread towards his injured flesh.

"Hiss", if you listen carefully, you can also hear the sound of breath stirring in your body.

Xia Gui's body was like a hungry ghost who had just been released from prison, greedily absorbing the abundant true qi.

Xia Gui's skin began to feel a slight tingling sensation, which made him shake all over, and the expression on his face became happy.

This is the feeling of breaking through the second order of the Dripping Water Realm.

Slowly, the tingling sensation on the skin began to penetrate into the flesh and bones. The true qi passes through the dantian, the tendons, the skin, and finally ends at the root bone. When the true qi was deposited in the bones, the tingling sensation became more and more intense, and his root bones were slowly changing when they were invisible to the naked eye, and his physique and strength were also growing rapidly.

A wisp of Budan's remnant soul hiding in the dogtooth necklace felt the rich true qi in Xia Gui's body, but at this time, he let out a shocked sound, "Qi Condensing Pill?

Boudan's remnant soul woke up because of the influence of this Qi Condensing Pill, and he was stunned to feel the surging and pure aura in Xia Gui's body, and he was a little surprised for a while.

Of course, he knew that the Qi Condensing Pill could help Xia Gui break through as soon as possible, but he also expected that there would be no such condition in this mountain villa to provide Qi Condensing Pill for Xia Gui to digest, so he didn't expect Xia Gui to get a Qi Condensing Pill. Seeing that the young man was sitting precariously, the meridians in his body were continuously absorbing the true qi of the Qi Condensing Pill, and a look of surprise passed over Budan's face.

"In such a desperate situation, it is really not easy for this kid to be able to get the Qi Condensing Pill. ”

......

Xia Gui slowly opened his eyes, his right hand was propped up on the stone, and Xia Gui jumped up.

Before you know it, the silver moon outside the cave is like a hook, and it has hung directly above the treetops.

Exhaling lightly, Xia Gui's mental state became more and more trembling. He stood still, feeling the internal energy in his body shuttling in and out of his muscles, following the direction of the flow of breath, and even the hem of his clothes swayed slightly.

Xia Gui gently moved the bones in his neck, only to hear a crisp sound in the cave, and vaguely, the strength contained in the movement of that bone was stronger than before.

"Breaking through the ......"

Xia Gui stood firm and concentrated his breath. There is a faint layer of warm luster in the eyes, which is the sign of the breakthrough just after the breakthrough.

Unexpectedly, relying on this Qi Condensing Pill, he finally broke through to the second order of the Dripping Water Realm within a month. This kind of breakthrough speed is not much better than the previous use of heaven and earth treasures and elixirs in the palace.

Xia Gui stretched his waist, feeling that the true qi in his body had become more and more vigorous, and he knew that he had recovered a lot of progress.

Just as he was thinking about the progress, a voice sounded from the depths of his soul, "Yo, you are the second order of the Dripping Water Realm." ”

Xia Guiyi was stunned, isn't this the voice of the teacher Boudin?

Xia Gui was surprised and delighted, and said in a low voice, "Teacher, are you awake?"

"Well, when you absorbed the Qi Condensing Pill, I also secretly absorbed a little, and the weak remnant soul became a lot stronger, and then I woke up. Boudin replied.

Xia Guiyi was stunned, and secretly absorbed a little? Wouldn't that mean that the amount of his own absorption would be reduced? Dare to love the Qi Condensing Pill that he had so hard to obtain also nourished two people?

"This ......," his face suddenly became a little painful.

Budan seemed to see through Xia Gui's thoughts, and said angrily: "Absorbing the power of your Qi Condensing Pill is less than one-tenth, look at your distressed appearance." If the old man's soul can become strong, it will also be a good thing for you. ”

Xia Gui pouted helplessly, the teacher said so, and he could only admit it.

"Where did you get the Qi Condensation Pill from?" Boudin asked.

Xia Gui told Budan about the experience of completing the three-star task, as well as the details of how he used the task reward to exchange for the Qi Condensing Pill to catch up with the progress of cultivation.

Boudin was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and probably felt that this apprentice was not easy.

In the past 20 days, this little apprentice has not eaten enough and has not been warmly dressed, and he has lost a lot of weight than before. And Xia Gui used the comfortable reward in exchange for the Qi Condensation Pill, which was even more unexpected for Budan. Now there are fewer high-spirited expressions on his face, and more of the forbearance and strength that have been precipitated.

Boudin was silent for a long time, and suddenly let out a strange laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Xia Gui asked angrily.

Boudin said in a strange voice: "I'm laughing, Your Highness finally understands the suffering of the world." ”

"Knowing that you are suffering, you still steal my Qi Condensing Pill?" Xia Gui said angrily.

Budan couldn't cry or laugh, "What's the matter? Lao Tzu eats one-tenth of your true qi in a condensing pill, and you are still angry, I haven't entered the Dan pharmacy in the Southern Wilderness Country, and the old man can eat as much as he wants......" Speaking of this, Boudan suddenly hesitated, he felt that the air was obviously condensed, and he seemed to have said something that should not be said.

Xia Gui seemed to remember something, and was stunned, with a heavy look in his eyes.

I remember when I was a child, he went to his father's pill pharmacy and secretly ate ten Qi Condensing Pills, and after eating, he didn't hurry up to absorb and digest them, but slept lazily, and as a result, it took ten Qi Condensing Pills to rise to the next level. In this matter, the angry father punished himself for three months and was not allowed to use any auxiliary materials for cultivation.

Xia Gui smiled bitterly, his voice was a little low, "I didn't know how to cherish it before, and eating the Qi Condensing Pill like a bean is simply a tyrannical thing." ”

Budan said: "Now you can achieve the same effect with fewer resources, you should be happy." Ahem, and you entered the second order of the Dripping Water Realm again, didn't you feel anything different?"

"Theoretically speaking, the second breakthrough will be much stronger than the first, far exceeding the strength of cultivators of the same level. You have a good feeling. Boudin said.

Xia Gui raised his hand slightly, feeling the true qi swaying on his arm.

When he was a child, he couldn't remember the feeling of breaking through to the second order of the Dripping Water Realm, but now the true qi on his arm was flowing slowly, and he could clearly feel the direction of the veins in his body, and there was indeed a sense of richness beyond the rank. Such feelings should not appear in the second order.

Boudin smiled slightly, and there was a little more expectation in his voice, "The old man has never seen anyone, and you can break away from your own vein twice, you are the first person." It is said that the second time you open up the vein, it will bring surprising results. Therefore, the old man is very curious, if you continue to practice, what kind of miracles will happen to you. ”

"What does the teacher mean that I will be more powerful than before?" Xia Gui asked.

Boudin nodded, "Yes." But it will be interesting to see how much more powerful it will be......"
