74. Retreat
The atmosphere among the disciples of Luoxia Peak has always been very good, so Xia Ming has already been a little happy in his days here, although he understands that there will always be a day to leave, but he doesn't want to think about these annoying questions for the time being. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He clearly understood that he was just a passer-by in this world, but it did not prevent him from temporarily integrating himself into it, and in addition to cultivation, he enjoyed his days in the Liyang Sect to the fullest.
With the assistance of the elixir, Xia Ming had already reached the peak of the Qi Refining Period, and he could completely enter the Qi Condensation Stage by compressing the spiritual power in his body from a gas into a liquid state. And now that his spiritual power has a tendency to atomize, I believe that it won't be long before he can naturally enter the next level of realm.
In terms of strength, now he has completely destroyed the monkeys, and as for the captains of the giant bears, if they fight, I believe they will not fall behind.
After all, those supernatural people in Huaxia only have the power they have by relying on their talent awakening, but there is no systematic process of becoming stronger. The primitive relied on squandering the ability to evolve naturally. This way is simply too low for Xia Ming.
Everything is on track, the weather this morning is extremely cold, the cold wind is blowing from the north, and at the top of Luoxia Peak, Xia Ming feels the chill of autumn.
He still didn't go to the Yuan Chu Daoist, because he felt that his current self was not strong enough, and after entering the foundation building period, he would be able to fly with the sword, which would be regarded as a small achievement. After all, the Yuan Chu Dao was an elder of the refining vein, how could his request be so easy to achieve? Xia Ming didn't want to be like before, just teleported to other places, and when he encountered danger, he could only resign himself to fate.
Coming to the Luoxia Peak Hall, through the doorman's report, Xia Ming met his master. Recently, he has been cultivating, and he hasn't seen this master for a long time. After all, the other party is an elder of the alchemy lineage, where does he have so much spare time to be his nanny.
"Master." Xia Ming saluted respectfully to Tianxinzi.
Tian Xinzi looked at his apprentice, and felt a little emotion in his heart, he wanted to use cultivation to sharpen Xia Ming's sharpness, but he didn't expect to be inserted by Ning Xue'er, so that his hard work was all in vain, and after Xia Ming encountered a cultivation problem, he would also look for his senior brother or Ning Xue'er to help, and he, the master, had almost become an ornament.
What is the face of Tianxinzi, who has always been arrogant and likes to toss his disciples? Therefore, after seeing Xia Ming, he just snorted lightly, and his face was very unhappy.
Xia Ming saw his master's expression, and he could roughly guess the other party's thoughts, so without waiting for the other party to speak, he straightened up directly, and came to Tianxinzi's side with a smile, rubbing his shoulders and pinching his arms, and when he said it, he was still such a bastard: "Master, who made your old man angry?" Go and smoke his big mouth! ”
Tianxinzi also glanced at him, and snorted: "You provoked me, smoke quickly." ”
Xia Ming was speechless in his heart, thinking to himself how this old guy is like a child, why are you still serious about what I said? So he rolled his eyes and continued to say with a hippie smile: "How can it! It's too late for the apprentice to honor you, how can you make the master angry. ”
"Slap the sycophants!" Anyway, after Xia Ming's deliberate stuttering, Tianxinzi's face finally looked better, but his tone was still stiff: "What's the matter with coming to me?" ”
"The most famous thing in our Yang Sect is alchemy, and the most powerful alchemy is your old man. As your disciple, I don't know anything about alchemy until now, so I'm really ......."
"Okay, if you want to learn alchemy, just say it, don't beat around the bush." Tianxinzi directly interrupted his words, although the tone of his words was very unkind, but the expression on his face was full of pride, after all, his alchemy level was second to none in the entire cultivation realm!
Xia Ming didn't care about this, anyway, he had a vague idea in his heart about what kind of temperament Tianxinzi was, since the other party had already said so, it meant that there was no intention of refusing, so he just listened with a smile and waited for the other party's next words. It's just that this kind of waiting, but the result directly made him dumbfounded.
Tianxinzi took out a full ten jade slips from the storage bag, handed them to Xia Ming's hand, and said: "These are the basis of alchemy, which contains the pills of various pills, as well as the improved effects, and there are countless rare herbs that can be used in medicine, you go back and memorize these all first." Don't ask you to recite it backwards, as long as you don't stumble when you recite it, it will be so-so. Wait until you have this in mind, and then come back to me. ”
Xia Ming swallowed his saliva, looked at the jade slip in his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "Master, is there a quick way......
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Tianxinzi's face sank, and he scolded: "What nonsense! Is there a quick way to achieve the road of alchemy? If you can't even distinguish the basic medicinal materials, how dare you learn alchemy? You must know that if you are not careful in alchemy, it will become poison! ”
After Xia Ming heard this, his heart sank, thinking that he had been too smooth sailing during this time, and he was already a little carried away, so he quickly nodded yes.
It's not that he can't memorize these things, but he just doesn't want to spend more of his mind. You must know that as long as he steps into the threshold of cultivating immortals, even if he is only in the early stage of qi refining now, the expansion of the brain domain is no longer comparable to when he first came. Reading a book at a glance and ten lines is just a trivial matter, and his memory has also undergone earth-shaking changes, although the amount of information in each jade slip is extremely large, but as long as he is willing to put in the effort to read, it is not a difficult task.
I have to say that the current Xia Ming is no longer the first silk on the earth where he got rich overnight, but he couldn't find his own positioning, and his cultivation is becoming more and more sophisticated, although the time is still very short, but it also makes him reborn, and the aura that exudes from his body from time to time is enough to show that he is extraordinary now. And as long as he is given enough time, I believe that his changes will be more obvious.
"Master, can I choose to retreat?"
After Xia Ming put away the jade slip, he asked respectfully. Recently, he has been entangled by Ning Xue'er, and almost every few days, he has to come to Luoxia Mountain to find him. The other party is kind to him, Xia Ming can't always show people with a cold face, so he has to accompany Ning Xue'er to play in the mountains and rivers, although he is very happy, but he can't go on like this, right? And recently, he found that Ning Xue'er's eyes looking at him were different from the past. He's not a place where he hasn't experienced anything, and that's a deep understanding of that. But the more this is the case, the more Xia Ming doesn't dare to see the other party, because he is not a saint, he hasn't opened meat for a long time, Ning Xue'er is good, but he can't eat it, when the time comes, he will eat it and run back to the earth, but Ning Xue'er will not have to live and be widowed for a lifetime?
Although he is lustful, if there is no lower limit to what he can do, then he will really become an orc.
It was for this reason that Xia Ming decided to retreat and cultivate. At the very least, you have to master all these jade slips before you can come out.
And retreat does not mean that it can be closed, and he is not an old monster in his infancy, who will not starve to death without eating for hundreds of years. The mountain behind Luoxia Peak has set up a retreat place for disciples, and every day there will be a special person to deliver food to the retreat people, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Such conditions are what Xia Ming wants.
"In this case, then go to your senior brother, and he will arrange it for you." Tianxinzi actually heard about Ning Xue'er often coming to Luoxia Peak recently. Sometimes I was worried that Xia Ming would abandon his cultivation because of this, but now that he saw Xia Ming so motivated, he was naturally pleased, so he agreed very happily, and then said to him with concern: "There is nothing wrong with cultivating hard, but you should also pay attention to being loose and relaxed, too rigid and easy to break, too soft and easy to bend, you must grasp this balance yourself." ”
Xia Ming nodded and said with a smile: "The apprentice only wants to concentrate on cultivation now, and he doesn't have time to think about other things at all. ”
After speaking, he saluted Tianxinzi, and then prepared to leave. At the moment of leaving, Tianxinzi's words made Xia Ming almost stumble: "Xue'er is a good girl, don't treat her badly." ”
"Master, I really don't have anything to do with my senior sister, don't slander me......" I was really afraid of something, Xia Ming turned his head with a sad face, and looked at Tianxinzi's eyes, he was really resentful to the extreme.
Senior sister and I haven't had anything happen yet, if anything really happens, you can't force us to marry immediately!
This matter really made Xia Ming very entangled, Ning Xue'er was good anywhere, but they were originally two worlds, and he really didn't know what the other party liked about him. He likes to scold people, like to beat people, and like yin people, so he can't be considered a good person! Sometimes he wonders, is Ning Xue'er a little misplaced in the tendon of love?
It's just that no matter what, you can't do that kind of lack of morality in the crematorium for the sake of being cool for a while!
His gossipy brothers laughed at him every time they saw him, but he didn't expect his master to be a matchmaker. Seeing that Tianxinzi was going to say something, Xia Ming was like a frightened rabbit, said goodbye, and hurriedly slipped away! If you stay any longer, it will be a real death!
finally ran out, and after finding his senior brother Zhou Bai, Xia Ming explained his willingness to retreat.
Zhou Baizai looked at him carefully, and said with a little meaning: "You won't be hiding from Xue'er, right?" ”
“……”
"I just want to grasp the jade slip given by the master as soon as possible." The corners of Xia Ming's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, are you all okay with this group of people? Every time you see me, there's nothing else to do, it's just these boring things.
"Senior sister is actually very good."
"......" The corners of Xia Ming's forehead twitched, and his face became unsightly.
"Actually, sometimes, those of us who are senior brothers think that if you marry a junior sister, it is also a good thing."
“……”
"After all, Xue'er married my little junior brother of the alchemy line, and this incident alone is enough to make those disciples of the main vein whose hearts are higher than the sky uncomfortable for a lifetime......"
"Senior brother, why don't you marry Senior Sister Xue'er." Xia Ming looked at him expressionlessly, and blocked Zhou Bai's mouth with a word. The whole world has finally cleared up.
