Chapter 256: Beginning the Return Journey
After Qin Xuan came to the ground, he separated from Chen Hao and the others, walked to a wooden house, brought a basin of water, cleaned the dirty body, and then changed into a very clean set of clothes.
In the underground grotto, fighting with the Buddha, the clothes on his body were all broken, and finally fell into the mud at the bottom of the lake, Qin Xuan's body had an unpleasant smell of mud, and after washing, Qin Xuan suddenly felt refreshed and very comfortable.
After cleaning, Qin Xuan walked out of the wooden house with a good mood and came to the bluestone square, and when he met the members of the dragon group on the road, he greeted him warmly, and everyone was very enthusiastic when they saw Qin Xuan, and there was a sense of awe in the enthusiasm.
Qin Xuan's performance in the underground grotto had spread all over the world in a short period of time, and when he heard the highlights of the final battle between Qin Xuan and the Buddha, every member of the dragon group was full of enthusiasm, and they all admired Qin Xuan's combat power.
Seeing Qin Xuan appear at this time, everyone stepped forward to chat with him for a few words, all of which were compliments, which made Qin Xuan feel very embarrassed.
"Xiao Xuan, you have become our hero, and now many people are worshipping you!"
Seeing Qin Xuan coming, Chen Hao immediately said with a smile, in his eyes, appreciation and admiration were pervasive, and his face was also very happy.
"Yes, Xiao Xuan, your performance in this mission is obvious to all, and now everyone is talking about you, which one is not a thumbs up!"
Liu Qingyun also continued to smile, although he had entered the early stage of the innate realm, he also knew that he was not Qin Xuan's opponent at all, but he was not jealous of Qin Xuan, but appreciated, and he was the kind of careful care for his brother.
"Brother Chen, Brother Liu, in fact, I didn't do anything, I just did my duty!" Qin Xuan couldn't say anything, so he had to say so.
"Okay, Xiao Xuan, don't be modest, come, Xiao Xuan, you drink some soup first and fill your stomach!" Chen Hao took a bowl of soup from the cauldron in the fire and handed it to Qin Xuan's hand.
Qin Xuan thanked him, took it with a smile, and saw the large piece of meat in the bowl, as well as some wild vegetables, Qin Xuan took a pair of chopsticks and tasted them slowly.
After taking a sip of the soup slowly, Qin Xuan felt that the taste was unusually delicious, a hot breath permeated his whole body, Qin Xuan felt very comfortable, and then picked up the piece of meat and chewed it slowly, the meat was very smooth and tender, after swallowing it, Qin Xuan immediately noticed the abnormality.
A stream of air permeated the whole body, it seemed to be aura, and after running around according to the exercises, it was slowly transformed into Hongmeng Yuanqi, Qin Xuan immediately looked at Chen Hao, and at this time, Chen Hao also looked over.
"Xiao Xuan, you have also noticed it, this is the python meat, presumably this python has taken stone milk for a hundred years, and its body has changed, with aura, we can eat its meat, it can be transformed into aura, which is also very beneficial to cultivation. ”
Qin Xuan nodded, presumably the silver python had already become a spirit beast, and being eaten at this time would be very beneficial to cultivation, Qin Xuan was not polite, and began to eat it happily, not to mention that he had already lost some blood in the underground grotto, and eating snake meat at this time could be regarded as replenishing.
Qin Xuan directly ate six bowls, and finally he was full, and everyone regarded Qin Xuan's performance as normal, you must know that as an ancient martial artist, in terms of food and drink, it is different from ordinary people.
Ordinary people, one or two bowls of rice, have already eaten, but the ancient martial artists are far more than that, this is because the ancient martial artists need to consume a lot of energy due to continuous cultivation, and only by constantly eating and drinking can they recover and keep up with the pace of progress.
After eating, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Xuan felt a little tired, so he said goodbye to Chen Hao and the others, came to the bottom of the cliff, followed the rattan, and came to the cave of Shashi, Qin Xuan lay directly on the bed and rested.
Since the beginning of the mission, Qin Xuan has not rested well at night, although with his strong cultivation, there is no need to rest, but Qin Xuan feels tired from the heart, and now that everything has settled, Qin Xuan can be regarded as completely relaxed.
Qin Xuan rested, Chen Hao and the others didn't come up to disturb, it wasn't until seven o'clock in the evening that Qin Xuan finally woke up, as soon as he woke up, Qin Xuan felt a sense of relief coming out of his bones, as if he was a different person.
After moving his body in the grotto, Qin Xuan went down to the bottom of the cliff along the rattan and came to the bluestone square, at this time, there were not many people in the square, but Chen Hao was there, and Qin Xuan walked over quickly.
"Xiao Xuan, how are you resting?"
"Brother Chen, I feel much more comfortable now, by the way, Brother Liu, haven't they come down yet?"
"They, they've already come down, but after eating something, they took some stone emulsion, and then went back to the grotto, they must be cultivating!"
Qin Xuan smiled, after three hours of rest, he felt a little hungry at this time, so he picked up a bowl, filled some soup, and sat aside to drink it.
"By the way, Xiao Xuan, do you want stone emulsion, it's really fast to cultivate with this thing, I still have six and a half bags here, now I can only use the remaining half of these bags, the other six bags, I will hand it in when I go back, but with your performance, I think you may get one!"
Chen Hao thought about it, and then said to Qin Xuan, although these things were harvested by them, but this is also something that they got during the mission, according to the regulations, he needs to hand it in, and then distribute it according to the merit.
"Okay, I'll pick up some later!"
Qin Xuan was not polite, in fact, he also wanted to see how much aura this hundred-year-old stone milk contained, this time against the Buddha, he directly burst a lot of Hongmeng sand, this Hongmeng sand was condensed by his great difficulty, he naturally cherished it very much.
Therefore, he also wanted to drink some century-old stone milk to recover some.
"Okay, I'll get some for you!"
After Qin Xuan had eaten a few bowls of snake broth, he took some hundred-year-old stone milk that Chen Hao had prepared for him, came to the grotto on the cliff again, and began to cultivate.
Taking a small cup of hundred-year-old stone milk, Qin Xuan immediately felt bursts of pure aura, bursting in his body, and Qin Xuan immediately ran the exercises, transforming these pure auras into Hongmeng Yuan Qi.
Immediately afterwards, as soon as the mind moved, the rich Hongmeng vitality in the dantian immediately began to combine and condense, and a grain of Hongmeng sand was formed.
After more than ten minutes, there were twelve more Hongmeng sand grains in the dantian, and the small cup of hundred-year-old stone milk was also transformed.
Qin Xuan saw that the stone emulsion had been transformed, and he began to condense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and cultivate, but the condensation of this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was very slow, and it could not be compared to directly taking the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials.
However, Qin Xuan didn't care, he knew that cultivation had to rely on persistence, as long as he had time, he would cultivate, only in this way could he continue to make progress, although this progress was very weak, and sometimes it was not visible at all, but Qin Xuan knew that this was the basis for accumulation.
Nothing can be achieved overnight, and cultivation is even more so, only through continuous accumulation and perseverance can we finally achieve positive results.
In this way, inside this grotto, Qin Xuan cultivated quietly.
In the second half of the night, when he was cultivating, suddenly a lightning bolt crossed the night sky, and then the sound of thunder roared loudly, and the torrential rain fell on the earth, and the rain curtain in the outside world was continuous, everything was blurred, and Qin Xuan woke up from the sound of thunder.
Lighting the oil lamp, Qin Xuan came to the entrance of the cave, opened the stone door, a cold wind blew, and some rain also followed the wind, and came to the grotto, wetting Qin Xuan's clothes, but Qin Xuan didn't care about this, just looked at the entrance of the cave, and looked at the outside world in the dark.
The lightning flashed, the thunder roared, Qin Xuan stood quietly, and after looking at it for a while, he closed the stone door again, and suddenly the sound of the outside world was much quieter, and the cave was silent, and Qin Xuan sighed.
Just now, he was homesick, this time he came out, it was almost a week, thinking that his family might be worried about him, Qin Xuan sighed again, he knew that since he joined the Dragon Group, his family's worries may be endless.
Even so, he has no regrets, joining the Dragon Group is his soul's choice, and in the Dragon Group, he has met so many lovely and respectable comrades-in-arms, Qin Xuan is also very happy, he has no regrets about joining the Dragon Group.
Qin Xuan was helpless about his family's worries, but Qin Xuan believed that with the passage of time, it would be good to wait for his parents and others to get used to it, and at that time, presumably his family would not be very concerned about him.
Thinking that he would start his return journey tomorrow and would be able to return home soon, Qin Xuan's somewhat irritable heart gradually calmed down, and he returned to the bed, sitting cross-legged, Qin Xuan cultivated again.
At six o'clock the next day, Qin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, got up from the bed, came to the entrance of the cave and opened the stone door, it was still raining lightly outside, the sky was bright at this time, and the fresh air was sandwiched with a cold wind, which also made Qin Xuan much more comfortable.
Qin Xuan didn't go down, he knew that at this time, the others wouldn't go down either, so he went back to the bed, closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
After waiting for an hour, Qin Xuan opened his eyes again, packed his clothes, and Qin Xuan opened the stone door and followed the rattan to the bottom of the cliff.
At this time, the rain had stopped, it was bright outside, the air was very fresh, Qin Xuan went straight to the bluestone square, where there were already many dragon group members at this time, washing up, or preparing breakfast.
"Xiao Xuan, come down, breakfast will be ready soon, and after breakfast, we will start our return journey!"
Chen Hao saw Qin Xuan coming over and said with a smile on his face.
"Brother Chen, I know, I'll go clean it first, and I'll come back later!"
"Okay, you go first!"
Qin Xuan greeted the other members of the Dragon Group, then walked to the cleaning place, rinsed his mouth, washed his face, and then returned to Bluestone Square.
"Brother Zhong, Brother Liu, good morning!" Qin Xuan greeted Zhong Limo and Liu Qingyun with a smile.
"Hehe, Xiao Xuan, did you get up early!" Zhong Li smiled silently, Liu Qingyun also said a few words, and then the two of them also cleaned up.
