Chapter 179: Slow Growth
At this time, the ninth layer of Qi refining spoke:
"The seventh layer of Qi refining is at its peak, and it should be broken through soon. β
As soon as these words came out, many monks were shocked.
A thirteen-year-old girl has already reached the peak of the seventh layer of Qi refining!
It's hard to imagine how good this qualification is.
They didn't dare to despise Su Zimu at this moment, even if she was not a young lady from a great cultivation family, but just because she had only reached the seventh level of qi refining at the age of thirteen, this kind of talent would sooner or later leave all of them far behind!
Su Wenze seemed to have received a great blow, and his face was extremely pale.
Seeing that everyone else was defending Su Zimu, he couldn't say anything, he just ignored the other party, and kept repeatedly denying it in his heart, he definitely didn't believe that the other party had already cultivated the seventh layer of qi refining, there must be something wrong!
He is a person with dual spirit roots, and he has worked hard to cultivate for six years before he is at the third layer of qi refining, and Su Zimu is only thirteen years old, so it is impossible to have a cultivation of the seventh layer of qi refining!
Naturally, everyone didn't care about each other, but went on the road together, and continued to find other sect disciples according to the instructions.
At this point, after walking for almost two days, a few decades-old herbs were found, which is considered good.
Su Zimu stayed here for several days, but he didn't find a single herb that could be seen.
When they met with a group of monks from Shangqing Gate again, several monks who had been rescued by Su Zimu before excitedly pointed to a young man in his thirties with a cold face and said:
"Miss Su, this is the senior brother Gu Zhong we talked about earlier, why don't you ask him about the news of the heart-washing grass?"
Su Zimu naturally thanked her and said:
"I heard that you have news of the Heart Cleansing Grass, if you can tell me, I am willing to provide the Qi Benefiting Pill and the Pure Heart Pill!"
Hearing this, Gu Zhong frowned and looked at her and said:
"What I want is not an ordinary Qi Benefiting Pill and Pure Heart Pill......
As soon as he finished speaking, the same young man in his thirties, but looking at some naΓ―ve, looked at Su Zimu and said excitedly:
"You are the second Miss Su that my brother said, right? I am Bai Ye, Bai Lin's younger brother!"
When Su Zimu saw the other party, he quickly saw the similarity with the white shopkeeper from the other party's face.
The white shopkeeper and the louver are both elegant looks, and they look tender.
Gu Zhong saw that Bai Ye knew Su Zimu, and immediately asked:
"Senior Brother Bai, your pill is the same as the pill she said?"
Bai Ye immediately nodded and said:
"Don't hide it from all senior brothers and sisters, this Second Miss Su is the person behind the pill that provided me with the pill!"
"Ahhh
Seeing this, Su Wenze couldn't believe it, how could this be, when did Su Zimu actually have a master who could draw talismans and make pills, so this is why Su Zimu's cultivation grew faster than him?
Then Su Zimu don't want to break through, all the cultivation that has been desperately piled up with pills at the beginning, if you want to break through, it is almost impossible!
He felt that Su Zimu dug her own grave, even if she cultivated high now, when the time came, she would cry!
But Su Wenze didn't plan to remind the other party, after all, Su Zimu's attitude towards him was so bad before, he would only remind the other party if he was stupid!
Gu Zhong was very excited at this moment, and said:
"Okay, I'll tell you the whereabouts of the Heart Cleansing Grass, it's very dangerous over there, I can also go with you to pick it, but you have to give me five Qi Benefiting Pills and five Clear Heart Pills!"
Gu Zhong is a child from an ordinary peasant family, because he has the talent of double spirit roots, so he has been cultivating on his own since he was taken to the Shangqing Sect, and there are not many spirit stones on his body, if it weren't for the sect choosing them to come to the secret realm this time, it would be impossible for them to make up the entry quota of two thousand spirit stones on their own.
Seeing his eager appearance, Su Zimu nodded and said:
"Just tell me the whereabouts of the Heart Washing Grass, if there really is, ten pills, I will give it to you immediately. β
Gu Zhong couldn't be more excited at the moment, he couldn't afford to buy a Zhuji Pill with 10,000 spirit stones, and when he heard that someone had successfully broken through with the Qi Benefiting Pill and the Qingxin Pill, he naturally wanted to break through as well.
However, he was afraid that he would not be able to break through, so he had to prepare more of this kind of good-quality Qi Benefiting Pill and Pure Heart Pill!
Now that I can get the pill right away, I naturally can't calm down so quickly.
Gu Zhong took Su Zimu to the place where the Heartwashing Grass grew, and when they arrived at the place, everyone was almost shocked, around this Heartwashing Grass, there were three demon beasts visible to the naked eye!
Moreover, these three demon beasts are second-order demon beasts, and they are basically demon beasts equivalent to the ninth-level cultivation of qi refining, and they can't beat them at all!
Gu Zhong said to Su Zimu:
"Do you see the purple herb surrounded by the three demon beasts? That's the heart washing grass, but this heart washing grass seems to have some special effect on the demon beasts, so they are all surrounded by demon beasts! On my own, I can't successfully get it at all, unless someone lures the demon beast away! Now that you're here, I can help you lure away the demon beast, you take the opportunity to get it quickly."
That's a second-order demon beast, who dares to provoke ordinary people, and the monks of the ninth level of qi refining don't dare to do it.
Gu Zhong was already very sincere in being able to say such a thing.
Seeing this, Su Zimu suddenly said:
"This heart-washing herb can cleanse the impurities in the body of the demon beast, and it can also relieve a lot of erysipelas and various poisons in the body of our monks, so it is naturally popular. I'll teach you a way to get them out of the way safely. β
When Gu Zhong heard this, he hurriedly said:
"How?"
Su Zimu suddenly took out a large stack of freezing talismans and said:
"These freezing talismans can make the demon beasts freeze instantly, you take them, and then go and lure away the demon beasts, and when you can't support them, you can freeze them, these talismans are enough to freeze them for a few hours, and there will be absolutely no danger. If you still have more sigils, you can keep them yourself. Also, this is the elixir you want. β
Gu Zhong looked at at at least thirty frozen talismans, how many spirit stones do you have to spend here, at least fifty or sixty thousand low-grade spirit stones, Su Zimu took it out casually, and he actually took out so many!
He almost forgot that what he needed most was the Pure Heart Pill and the Beneficial Qi Pill!
The other monks of the Shangqing Sect also looked at Su Zimu in shock at this moment, they knew that they had volunteered to come out, so many talismans, they were almost going to send them!
When Su Wenze saw this scene, his face was extremely different.
Su Zimu had so many talismans and pills, but he never thought of giving him some......
If Su Zimu knew Su Wenze's thoughts, she just sneered.
Of course, the most important thing for Su Zimu at this moment is to wash her heart and lead away such a good errand as a demon beast, which is naturally Gu Zhong.
Gu Zhong went up and hit the three demon beasts.
The three demon beasts were completely enraged and chased after Gu Zhong all the time.
Seeing this, Su Zimu rushed over quickly to pick the heart washing grass.
However, at the moment when Su Zimu was about to pick the heart washing grass, the other disciples of the Shangqing Sect suddenly gasped and shouted:
"Miss Su, be careful!"
Su Zimu also felt something, and her figure flashed quickly, and she found a snake head biting at the place where she was standing just now.
Su Zimu hurriedly retreated, and finally saw that there was a snake as thick as her waist staring at it with cold vertical pupils.
The snake had been lying motionless in the low pit until no one noticed it.
If she hadn't been fast, she would have been eaten.
Seeing that Su Zimu was fine, the others first breathed a sigh of relief, and then after seeing the snake clearly, they said in horror:
"That, that's a third-order cultivation snake! It's equivalent to the foundation building period!Miss Su, we can't mess with this snake, it's best to leave right now!"
Su Zimu looked at the snake and said expressionlessly:
"Let's go, it's already eyeing me, I can't go! Please take my brother away, I'll come to you after I finish dealing with this snake!"
Everyone didn't expect Su Zimu to be so calm at such a time.
She was targeted by the snake? Didn't she even want to leave alive.
But Su Zimu actually said lightly that he wanted to solve this third-order demon beast snake?
Xiao Bo Zhixing, who was standing in the crowd, immediately stood up when he saw this:
"I'm not leaving!"
Su Zimu couldn't turn around and reprimand Xiao Bo Zhixing, she kept looking at this snake tightly, this snake was fast, and she couldn't be distracted in the slightest.
The monks of Shangqing Gate, all Xiao Bo Zhixing walked together, but the other party didn't leave, and the others couldn't, so they had to leave first, but Bai Ye, and a few monks who had been saved by Su Zimu, chose to stay, at this time, they couldn't stand by.
As soon as the other monks of Shangqing Gate left, the snake moved, and suddenly rushed towards Su Zimu.
Bai Ye's hearts were completely raised, but Su Zimu avoided it very skillfully, and directly threw a few talismans on the snake, and with the sound of explosion, the snake dodged slightly painfully.
But Su Zimu took advantage of the victory to chase and kept wrestling with the snake.
Obviously, Su Zimu only had the cultivation of the seventh layer of qi refining, and at this time, he faced a snake equivalent to the foundation building period, and he didn't fall behind at all, which really surprised them.
It's just that when I saw Su Zimu's talisman thrown out without money, I felt distressed.
How much does it cost to throw out so many talismans, they bought a life-saving talisman, but they were reluctant to use it, but she threw it away like garbage.
However, the effect of burning money is also obvious, under the bombardment of these multi-rune seals and hidden weapons-like thousand spirit needles, even the snake in the foundation building period, after Su Zimu finally stuffed several thunder breaking talismans and arrow rain talismans into his mouth, the snake's head exploded, and he fell to the ground unwillingly, and the snake body was still struggling.
Su Zimu's face was tired at this time, but he still used the fastest way to pick all the several heartwashing herbs that grew together, and packed them in a jade box to save him from losing his medicinal properties.
As for the corpse of the third-order snake, Su Zimu naturally threw it into the storage bag together.
The meat of these demon beasts carries a lot of spiritual energy, and for the monk, eating it is only beneficial, so she naturally can't let it go, even if she sells it, it is estimated that she can sell a lot of spirit stones.
Bai Ye and a few monks, watching the process of Su Zimu's fighting of the third-order demon beast snake, were still a little unable to come back to their senses.
A seventh-level Qi refining monk killed the snake in the foundation building period!
Even if no less than a hundred rune seals are used, but they are too powerful, and sure enough, the rune seals and spiritual weapons assist the monks, and they can achieve unimaginable results, and they can kill demon beasts beyond the level!
It's no wonder that auxiliary tools such as spiritual weapons and talismans have always been so popular with monks!
When Su Zimu got the Heart Cleansing Grass, she had no interest in continuing to keep it, and planned to take Xiao Bo Zhixing out of the secret realm.
But Xiao Bo Zhixing suddenly pointed in one direction and said:
"I want to go there......"
Su Zimu glanced at it, it was a mountain, Xiao Bo Zhixing basically didn't ask for it, and suddenly said this, he always felt unusual.
Su Zimu asked:
"Is there anything over there?"
Xiao Bo Zhixing just shook his head:
"I don't know, there's something there that seems to be attracting me......"
This kind of thing is very strange, for her, it is obviously just an ordinary mountain over there, but Xiao Bo Zhixing's little face clearly says that she wants to go.
The other monks were also strange and persuaded Xiao Bo Zhixing not to go, maybe Xiao Bo Zhixing had some strange illusion because he did not cultivate.
Su Zimu saw that Xiao Bo Zhixing's eyes were clear, and she didn't have any illusions, so she simply said:
"We're going out, do you still want to find herbs in the secret realm?"
These monks naturally nodded one after another, it is not easy to come to a secret realm, a total of a month, who knows if there is a chance to encounter a spirit grass that is more than a thousand years old, naturally they will not waste this opportunity to leave.
So Su Zimu gave them five talismans and five pills for each person, which was regarded as a thank you for taking care of Xiao Bo Zhixing before and not leaving by herself.
These monks looked at the pills and talismans in their hands stupidly, this, this is for them, how many spirit stones do you need!
They really didn't expect that Su Zimu would give them these, watching Su Zimu and Xiao Bo Zhixing leave, their mood was not to mention how complicated it was.
I was very grateful to Su Zimu for the talisman seal and pill, they couldn't act alone, seeing that Su Zimu and Xiao Bo Zhixing were about to leave the secret realm, they hurriedly joined the rest of the sect.
And Su Zimu walked for a while, and after the people from Shangqingmen left, he said to Xiao Bo Zhixing:
"Let's go, go to the mountain you talked about. β
Although I don't know what attracts Xiao Bo Zhixing, maybe it's a rare opportunity.
After all, in addition to talent, in fact, luck is also very important, and both are indispensable.
Xiao Bo Zhixing was very surprised when he saw her say this, but in that place, it seemed that there was really something important waiting for him.
So even though Xiao Bo Zhixing knew that it might be dangerous, he still wanted to go.
He and Su Zimu kept walking forward, the mountain looked close, but they walked all day, after reaching the foot of the mountain, Su Zimu looked at the steep stone wall, and had a headache, she had no problem climbing the stone wall, but Xiao Bo Zhixing was so small, how could she climb it.
She is only thirteen years old, and she is carrying Xiao Bo Zhixing on her back, which is a little dangerous.
Just when she was entangled, Xiao Bo Zhixing pulled Su Zimu and walked straight to the stone wall.
Su Zimu saw that he was about to hit the stone wall, so he kept walking forward, and hurriedly grabbed the other party and said:
"Don't worry, I want to think about how to carry you up......"
But before he finished speaking, Su Zimu saw that Xiao Bo Zhixing's body had sunk into the stone wall!
Su Zimu was startled, and hurriedly followed, only to find that the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and it turned out to be a stone cave with sufficient spiritual energy.
The stone wall before turned out to be a trick!
Su Zimu looked at this stone cave, the light was very good, the simple furnishings inside were clear, in addition to the stone bench and stone table, there were also a lot of spiritual grasses planted next to it, and Su Zimu was strange that these spiritual grasses had never been seen before, and the year was actually thousands of years old!
There are forty or fifty of these spirit grasses, all of which are thousands of years old, and if they are taken out, any one of them will be robbed!
Su Zimu was very surprised, but she didn't move directly, because Xiao Bo Zhixing had been leading Su Zimu to continue walking inside.
When he saw the spring water leaking from the stone wall of a small pool, Su Zimu was attracted by the purple swaying lotus flower in the spring water, this is the purple spirit lotus, which is used to refine the purple spirit pill, and it is the most effective for damaged divine consciousness.
Su Zimu was completely attracted by the Purple Spirit Lotus, and she felt that the aura in it was even stronger.
Even if you don't cultivate, the aura will burrow into the dantian by itself.
Su Zimu's face suddenly changed slightly, and said:
"I may have to break through here, you have to worry about yourself, the talisman is very simple, you can use it yourself, right!"
Xiao Bo Zhixing nodded, came to the corner, squatted and began to dig something.
But Su Zimu didn't have the energy to look at it anymore, so he quickly sat down and began to break through.
Xiao Bo Zhixing glanced at Su Zimu, and when he saw that she was fine, he focused on digging something, and what attracted it all the time was this underground thing.
Su Zimu naturally didn't know what Xiao Bo Zhixing was doing.
As soon as she sat down, she felt the swarming aura rushing into her body, and it didn't take long for her to break through directly, and she began to consolidate her cultivation, but the aura still kept rushing into the dantian, and when her cultivation had just been consolidated, she was about to break through again.
The aura in this actually became more and more intense as the meditation time became longer, and it rushed into the dantian as if it didn't want money.
Su Zimu felt that there was still enough time, so he simply continued to break through, and reached the ninth layer of qi refining at once, which is not counting, when Su Zimu completely absorbed the aura, he had already reached the peak of the ninth layer, and he would be able to break through immediately.
As soon as Su Zimu opened his eyes, what he saw was that Xiao Bo Zhixing was holding a black stone in his hand, which looked so black that it was uncomfortable, but Xiao Bo Zhixing seemed to be a treasure and kept holding it.
Su Zimu wanted to ask something, but the next moment, she was suddenly surprised:
"I can sense my space, as long as I break through to the foundation building period, the space can be opened!"
This is the space shared by the previous life and Bo Zhixing, there are a lot of spiritual grasses and the like in it, as long as you reach the foundation building period, you can open the space, and in this way, this purple spirit lotus can also be transplanted into the space!
And those thousand-year-old spirit grasses outside can also be put away.
When Su Zimu thought of this, she was very motivated, and hurriedly said to Xiao Bo Zhixing:
"How long did I practice before?"
Xiao Bo Zhixing compared to five, Su Zimu raised his eyebrows, five days, that is ten days before leaving the secret realm, and there is still time.
Su Zimu thought about it and said:
"Let's get out of here first, find a place with a stronger aura, I want to break through!"
Su Zimu is reluctant to give up these good things, especially the Purple Spirit Lotus, which has a significant effect on repairing or increasing her divine consciousness, that is, her spiritual power, her current spiritual power has been in a damaged state, if it can be repaired well, and it can also increase her spiritual power, then the task of this life is not a loss at all.
You must know that the growth of spiritual power is the slowest, and it is possible that it will not increase a little bit in your life!
Su Zimu left this place with Xiao Bo Zhixing.
After searching in the secret realm for two days, she found a dense forest, and after arranging a simple defensive circle around her, she swallowed a Qi Benefiting Pill and a Clear Heart Pill, and immediately began to break through.
Su Zimu felt that this breakthrough was particularly difficult, it should be the prohibition of the secret realm itself, and the cultivation of forbidden demon beasts or people exceeded that of foundation building, so the big snake she killed before, although its cultivation had reached the foundation building period, its strength was actually weaker than that of the foundation building period.
Su Zimu was desperately absorbing the aura around him at this moment, even though he knew that it was very difficult to break through, he did not hesitate.
Three days later, Su Zimu finally broke through successfully, and sure enough, he reached the foundation building period, not only did he have a different vision, but he also felt more keenly that the prohibition of this secret realm was really suppressing the monks in the foundation building period.
She can only exert the strength of the ninth layer of Qi refining now.
Su Zimu didn't care too much, she felt the space, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, but she didn't go in directly.
Because she suddenly thought that there was still her own Bo Zhixing from the previous life buried in it.
She didn't know why, but she didn't dare to take a look at the body buried before.
Su Zimu took Xiao Bo Zhixing back to the previous cave, however, before he got close this time, he heard several monks talking under the stone wall:
"What's the matter, didn't the map my grandfather give me show that it was here? Why is there nothing?"
"Could it be that the cave of the master of the secret realm is on the top of the mountain?
When Su Zimu saw these people, she felt speechless, they were Wu Xuelan's group.
Listening to the words of these people, she also guessed that the previous cave mansion should be the cave mansion of the master of the secret realm, so the aura in it is still so strong after more than a thousand years, so the spirit grass is a thousand years old, and the purple spirit lotus has to be obtained for everything.
Su Zimu watched them start to climb the cliff, and was very worried that the trick would be discovered.
But the strange thing is that after they touched the stone wall, they didn't feel that it was a trick at all, and they began to climb all the way up.
Su Zimu and Xiao Bo Zhixing hid in the shadows, watching them climb up until the clouds covered their figures.
At this time, Su Zimu took Xiao Bo Zhixing into the cave quickly.
After Su Zimu entered the cave, he found that the aura in it had hardly increased since the last time it was absorbed.
She didn't think much about it, and carefully transplanted the immature purple spirit lotus into the spiritual pool of the space, leaving the roots, and dripped the spiritual milk in the space a lot, and the spiritual energy of the cave was abundant again.
After tens of hundreds of years, there will be purple spirit lotus regrowth here, and those who have a natural fate will find this side.
After Su Zimu finished doing this, she came to the medicine field at the entrance of the cave, she had found that there was a ban here, and it was not easy to get it.
At this time, in order to reach the foundation building period, I will look at the ban again, and if I want to break it, it is not too difficult, but it is time-consuming!
However, Su Zimu thought that there was still more time, and began to slowly break the ban on each herb.
It takes a lot of time for each plant, and at the end of the day, there are only a dozen thousand-year-old spirit grasses.
Su Zimu is not greedy, only one of each spirit grass is taken, and he will also re-select a spirit grass from the space for several years to plant, and then learn the previous prohibition and rearrange it.
