Chapter 22: Jacob's Past
Gu Yue trained hard, endured the huge pressure of the waterfall, the water seemed to be about to wash away the boredom in his heart, everything he had experienced in the past few days brought too much pressure to Gu Yue, a teenager suddenly experienced these changes, so that his inner fragility was pushed to this point before he had time to react, at this moment Gu Yue was like using the huge flow of the waterfall to wash away his troubles, stubbornly climbed up, fell, climbed again, and fell again. This action is repeated mechanically.
I don't know how many times I failed, the sky had cleared and then gradually entered the dusk, Gu Yue had been trying to climb the waterfall, but had been failing. This means that Gu Yue's physical fitness surpasses ordinary people, and he has been laid a good foundation since he was a child to persist until now, and he may have been tired and paralyzed as an ordinary person.
"Alright, that's all for today, let's go back. Xu Qing stood on the stone on the side and said to Gu Yue.
"No, Uncle Xu, I feel like I'm about to succeed, and I want to continue training. Gu Yue had just fallen from above, his body surfaced, and he turned his head to Xu Qing and said.
"Alright, enough training for today. Cultivation is not something that happens overnight, but must be done gradually. We've got to go back to something else, let's go first. Xu Qing said.
"Okay. When Gu Yue heard Xu Qing say this, he stopped training, climbed to the shore and put on the dry clothes that Xu Qing had prepared for him, and went back together.
In the evening, the four of them sat around the dinner table again, Yaxuan could do a lot more today, just to let Gu Yue be full, Gu Yue looked at the food in front of him, and scratched his head a little embarrassed, yesterday it was because he was so hungry, and he didn't control it for a while as if he scared them. In fact, although I am usually growing my body, I eat a lot of food, but it is not so exaggerated.
When the few people were eating, Xu Qing opened his mouth and said to Gu Yue: "You will listen to Jacob in a while, and he will condition your body so that you will be more energetic in your training tomorrow and will not be tired." ”
Gu Yue looked at Jacob and said, "Then I'm going to trouble you, Grandpa Jacob." ”
"Haha! Where, no trouble, no trouble. Xu Qing, this kid finally begged me this time, of course I'm happy, haha!" said Yada with a smile, looking very happy.
"Grandpa, how did you two meet?" said Yaxuan on the side, "I've never heard you say you have friends outside." ”
"Hehe, of course your grandfather doesn't want to mention it, he was driven away, how embarrassed he was to mention it, how embarrassing. Xu Qing interjected at this time and joked with a smile.
"you! Whoever let people drive away, I don't care to be in the company of that group of people, I call it a retreat. Jacob glared at Xu Qing in defense.
"Uncle Xu, I'm also curious, how did Grandpa Jacob and you meet? I haven't heard you talk about it before. Gu Yue also asked curiously.
"It's a long story to talk about..."Xu Qing sorted out his thoughts and slowly said the matter between him and Jacob.
It turned out that Xu Qing was originally born in the Huangshi Continent, and at that time he was still a loose cultivator who was groping for cultivation by himself. At that time, there was a very large force in the Yellowstone Continent, a sect composed of cultivators "Xihai Mo". It was a holy place that all cultivators in the entire Yellowstone Continent dreamed of, and if they could enter there to apprentice and cultivate, they would be able to make rapid progress and avoid many detours.
After many years of hard work, Xu Qing finally passed the assessment and entered Xihai Mo's disciple to cultivate, and received special guidance from his master. Among the few people who entered with Xu Qing at that time was Jacob, and Jacob's strength was on par with Xu Qing at that time. The two of them worshiped Xihai Mo together, although they were not studying under the same teacher, but their cultivation places were not far from each other.
That was because Xu Qing was obsessed with cultivation and had no time to take care of anything else, so he didn't care about Jacob as a person. It wasn't until later that Xu Qing's cultivation encountered a bottleneck. There was no way for anyone, and the teacher's help showed no sign of Xu Qing breaking through. Xu Qing, who had been worrying about cultivation all day, wandered around when he was bored, and found a cave during a wandering, in the valley between his master and Jacob's master.
At that time, there was a peculiar smell coming from the cave, and Xu Qing walked in out of curiosity. When he walked in, he found that this place was a natural cave, but it had been transformed into a room, and there was a large barrel of liquid boiling in it, and there was a person sitting in the liquid in the bucket, looking very painful. Xu Qing saw this and thought that someone was being abused, so he immediately stepped forward and broke the wooden barrel to rescue the people inside.
The person Xu Qing saved was Jacob, but who knew that after being rescued, not only did he not thank Xu Qing, but fought with Xu Qing. Later, after a fight, the two were tied. When both of them were tired, they gave up and lay on the ground with a rough breath.
"You really don't know what to do, I didn't make you like this. I saved you, why do you beat people indiscriminately. Xu Qing said.
"You birdman, what saved me. Lao Tzu finally collected all the things, and this time you are all destroyed. Do you know how hard it is for me to find these things? It may take many years to collect them, and if you affect my cultivation, I will kill you and me. Jacob gasped as well.
"What? You made this yourself? Why did you cook yourself? You call this cultivation?" Xu Qing said inexplicably after hearing this.
"You don't understand this, I have a unique secret skill. This method is known only to me, and has never been known by others, and if you see it today, you don't want to get out of here alive. Jacob said to Xu Qing as if threatening.
"Don't brag, you couldn't beat me for so long just now, what can you do to keep me. Xu Qing glanced at him and said.
"I didn't know the truth and the truth, and I didn't use all my strength. Now that I know your situation, I'll kill you with all my might. Stinky boy, if you hadn't interrupted me, I'd be advanced by now, and cleaning you up wouldn't be like playing. Jacob became annoyed as he spoke.
"What? You can make people advanced?" Xu Qing was plagued by the bottleneck of cultivation during this time, he had been looking for a way to advance, and now when he heard Jacob say this sensitive word, Xu Qing's eyes lit up and continued to ask.
"Of course—" Jacob was about to brag when he suddenly remembered something and shut up.
"Well, tell me what you are, what can I do to help? I'll break you and I'll get you another one." Xu Qing said Jacob's words.
Seeing that Xu Qing didn't look like a bad person, Jacob hesitated for a while and told Xu Qing the ins and outs. It turns out that Jacob grew up in a family of doctors, his ancestors have always been doctors who treat others, and when he was a child, Jacob was very familiar with various pharmacology and medicine ingredients. Later, the family wanted him to inherit the family business and practice medicine, but Jacob did not like doctors, and Jacob became obsessed with the path of cultivation.
When he was a child, Jacob's family also hired a teacher to teach him cultivation, but Jacob's qualifications were very average, and his cultivation progress was slow. Later, the teachers felt that this child was too ordinary and did not make any big achievements, so they were all reluctant to teach him. Jacob struggled for a long time, but then he had no choice but to accept the family's arrangement to become a doctor.
Again, by chance, Jacob discovered that the ingredients of some medicines seemed to have a special effect on the body, so he extracted those ingredients and developed a new medicine, and Jacob tried the medicine himself. I found that this medicine actually had a miraculous effect on cultivation. Jacob then rekindled his hope of cultivation. After inheriting the family business, he scattered his family wealth to develop new medicines. Various medicines have been developed that are very good for cultivation, but these medicines are expensive and rare. Therefore, there was no energy to sell, only enough for Jacob alone.
Later, although his fortune was lost by Jacob, Jacob's strength grew rapidly, allowing him to worship Xihaimo and learn more advanced skills. This strength of Jacob made up for his lack of cultivation qualifications. After coming to Xihaimo, he discovered a lot of knowledge of the treasures of heaven and earth that he had never seen before, so he further refined his research results. He has been collecting all kinds of medicines, until today he has developed a magical method that can help people advance, and when he was using it, he was interrupted by Xu Qing, how could this make him not angry.
Xu Qing was greatly surprised after listening to Jacob's explanation, cultivators in this world sometimes find some elixir treasures to help them improve their cultivation, but all of them found the elixir and took it directly. No one has ever dared to undermine the elixirs to study their inner workings. This Jacob was a genius who was able to discover this method. Xu Qing thought of this, and thought that his breakthrough might be expected. So he consulted with Jacob.
"Eh, I said, this time I was reckless and interrupted you, it's not good for me, you say you need anything, I'll try my best to get you another one. Xu Qing said.
"It's not that easy, I've been collecting these things for a long time. Jacob said in frustration.
"Don't be discouraged, my master has a lot of elixirs there, and if you say it, I might be able to get it for you. Xu Qing seduced Jacob.
"Really, then you have to count!" Jacob said with a surprised look at Xu Qing.
"Of course, but I have one request. Xu Qing said.
"What do you ask? As long as it's not too much, I can say yes. Jacob said.
"That is, when you use it, you also have to help me advance, and I want to use this method with you. Xu Qing put forward the conditions.
“... All right. Jacob hesitated for a while and agreed, after all, Xu Qing still had to help find the things. It doesn't hurt to find enough for two people.
