Chapter 82: Failure
Back at the hotel, Xiao Nan's heart was pounding, but he knew that now was not the time to take Vermilion Fruit. Taking vermilion fruit or life essence, you must find a quiet place that is not disturbed, and the whole person's mind is completely relaxed, so that you can better absorb the effects of the medicine and achieve the purpose of promotion. Ye Qingqian was like that at the beginning, it took a full week to break through.
That night, Xiao Nan didn't go anywhere, stayed quietly in the hotel, and didn't walk out of the hotel until the morning of the next day to take a plane back to Chang'an Base City.
"Hey, Qingsi!" Xiao Nan, who returned to the base city in the afternoon, called Chu Qingsi as soon as possible.
"Xiao Nan, are you back?Is the road going well?" Chu Qingsi received Xiao Nan's call and asked one after another.
"It's okay, it's going well. Xiao Nan touched his nose and said.
"Then, did you buy what you wanted?" asked Chu Qingsi.
"I bought a similar one," Xiao Nan said ambiguously: "Qingsi, starting tomorrow, I will retreat for a few days to try to break through the realm." ”
"Huh?" Chu Qingsi was taken aback and asked, "Break through the realm?Xiao Nan, have you already cultivated to the peak of the third order?Do you have the essence of life?" Suddenly hearing Xiao Nan say that she wanted to break through the realm, Chu Qingsi was a little incredulous, after all, Xiao Nan's time to break through to the third order was too short, and she never thought that Xiao Nan could cultivate so quickly.
"Well, there is no life essence, but I found a replacement, so I tried to see if I could break through. Xiao Nan said.
"Oh well. Chu Qingsi felt the firmness in Xiao Nan's tone and asked, "How long will it take you to retreat?"
"It can be as short as two or three days, or as long as seven or eight days. Xiao Nan said uncertainly: "I'll call you as soon as I leave the customs." ”
"Okay!" Chu Qingsi agreed, "You can rest assured that you can retreat, Yingying's side, I will tell her." ”
"Hmm. Xiao Nan agreed, and then hung up the phone.
First, he went to the supermarket to buy some food, Xiao Nan returned home, teased Xiao Meow for a while, locked the doors and windows, and began to wash.
"Little Meow, we won't go out tonight, we have to go to bed early!" At night, Xiao Nan stroked Xiao Meow and said softly. During this time, Xiao Meow followed Xiao Nan to "run at night" every night, as if he had developed a habit, and it was precisely because of this that Xiao Nan had to "appease" Xiao Meow's emotions, after all, he had to ensure adequate rest.
The next day, Xiao Nan slept until eleven o'clock, and after getting up, Xiao Nan, who was refreshed, ate something and began to meditate.
At six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Nan felt that he had finally gotten rid of that trace of excitement, and his whole heart had reached a state of "heart like water".
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Nan took out the vermilion fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.
In an instant, the rich energy exploded in Xiao Nan's body, Xiao Nan pursed his lips tightly, not letting the energy leak in the slightest, and at the same time, constantly running exercises, trying to absorb this violent energy.
At this moment, Xiao Nan's whole face is flushed, his expression is painful, and even his ears are blood-red, not only that, but his lower abdomen is also much larger than usual, giving people a feeling of "belly", only Xiao Nan himself feels it, there is all violent energy, and he is oppressed by himself, and at the same time tries to guide the "diversion" as much as possible.
Xiao Nan's expression was hideous, the green tendons on his neck burst out, and his two fists were clenched tightly. Seeing Xiao Nan's painful appearance, Xiao Meow on the side kept making "meow" and "meow" cries around Xiao Nan, but unfortunately it couldn't help Xiao Nan at all.
In fact, Xiao Nan at this moment couldn't hear Xiao Meow's cry at all, he seemed to be in a huge, extremely hot oven, and the flames around him were burning his body like magma, although Xiao Nan had already estimated the pain he might encounter, but at this moment he couldn't help but scold angrily in his heart.
Using vermilion fruit to make life essence, in addition to improving the efficacy of the medicine, must also have the effect of reducing pain, otherwise, Xiao Nan did not believe that everyone could endure this kind of pain at all.
In just five minutes, Xiao Nan's clothes were all wet, and the sweat droplets on his forehead were still dripping. But as time passed, Xiao Nan's face slowly calmed down, although the clenched fists and the green tendons on his neck exposed the pain Xiao Nan was suffering at the moment, but at least on the surface, Xiao Nan had endured it.
Finally, Xiao Nan's fist slowly loosened, and the muscles in his body were no longer tense, although he was still sweating like pulp, Xiao Nan no longer felt pain. What he didn't know was that this was a sublimation of his willpower, a breakthrough in willpower and endurance that exceeded the limits of his body's endurance.
Seeing that Xiao Nan slowly regained his composure, Xiao Meow ended his anxious steps and lay down on the sofa in front of Xiao Nan, but his eyes were still staring at Xiao Nan without blinking.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Nan's consciousness took over his body again, his eyes slowly opened, and a long breath of turbid breath came out of his mouth.
Looking down at his lower abdomen, which had returned to normal, Xiao Nan felt more relaxed than ever. But the next moment, Xiao Nan couldn't help frowning, it turned out that his clothes had been completely stuck to his body, and his whole body was filled with the smell of sweat after fermentation, which made him a little unbearable.
Xiao Nan didn't even have time to say hello to Xiao Meow, so he "swished" into the bathroom. The sound of rushing water sounded for more than an hour, and Xiao Nan walked out in a bathrobe with a calm face.
"Meow!" Meow let out a soft cry.
Xiao Nan came to the sofa, picked up Xiao Meow, and said with a little regret: "Alas, the medicinal effect of the vermilion fruit is still a little worse. ”
"Meow!" Xiao Meow seemed to be comforting Xiao Nan.
"Haha, don't worry, although I haven't been promoted to the fourth order, I am much stronger than the third order now, this time, I won't lose!" Xiao Nan touched Xiao Meow's head and laughed softly.
In fact, Xiao Nan's current state is very strange, at least he knows very well that he has not succeeded in breaking through, but he is much stronger than his previous third-order peak self, so Xiao Nan accepted this result so calmly.
In any case, the fifteen million spent always has some effect. If Xiao Nan's strength didn't increase in the slightest, he wouldn't accept it so calmly.
However, it is also false to say that there is no regret at all, but Xiao Nan's heart is already good, and he is indeed prepared for a breakthrough before the retreat, and the current situation can only be said to be more than insufficient than the bottom.
Re-open the window to allow the air in the room to circulate, Xiao Nan looked at the sky, it was morning outside, it seemed that he had only been in retreat for more than ten hours, not even a day, no wonder he would fail to break through.
Xiao Nan smiled bitterly, picked up his mobile phone and prepared to call Chu Qingsi.
"Hey, Qingsi!"
"Xiao Nan, have you finished your retreat?" Chu Qingsi's surprised voice came from the microphone.
"yes, I'm just done. Xiao Nan said calmly.
"Okay, you wait for me at home, I'll go over to find you right away!" Chu Qingsi said crisply, and hung up the phone without waiting for Xiao Nan to reply.
