After returning to Qingquan Peak, glutinous rice finally re-entered the second layer of the opening period. This is the second time she has stepped into this threshold, and this promotion is not as turbulent as before, but seems to be a natural thing. When her cultivation reached that point, she lifted her feet, and the threshold was crossed.

Glutinous rice has reached such a level, has a corresponding state of mind, and now nourishes her cultivation with pills every day, and this spiritual power has accumulated enough, and she will directly return to this level.

Nuomi herself doesn't think it's such a great thing, no matter what level she is, she still practices diligently. The only thing that has an impact on her is that after the level has gone up, the whole person's skills have also been raised. In the past, she had to use Yunlu Jue to water the entire hall medicine garden alone, and it would be a little difficult, but now that she has reached the level of cultivation, she has also become more relaxed.

She is an inconspicuous little person, as long as Qingming Zhenren doesn't stare at her, a little guy like Nuomi really can't get any attention. Naturally, no one noticed that her cultivation had gone to another level.

She has always participated in the transmission of gong in the mountain gate, but now that she needs to pass the gong transmission master and uncle to speed up her cultivation, she just listens to the uncles explain the precautions every day, and there is no change in the slightest.

The atmosphere on Qingquan Peak has always been bad, very depressing, although it has reached summer, but it has not been a little hot of the sun, but it is gloomy and cold. Glutinous rice sometimes even wonders if this qiē is because of the layer of fairy mist that pervades the fairy peak all day long, which blocks the sunlight from the outside, as if it also blocks something else.

Nuomi is still thinking about Ye Fan in her heart, and occasionally thinks of Tian Tianlai.

After that ring fight, he returned to the mountain gate, and Nuomi didn't see Tian Tian much again. This senior sister didn't like to go outside very much, but she would still show her face occasionally. Even when she was busy trying to improve her strength to participate in the competition, she didn't hide it so closely.

Some of the disciples of the Mountain Sect saw Tian Tian when they saw the real person of Qingming, and when they came back, they privately said the silence of Senior Sister Qingquanfeng to ten points. Especially the group of monks led by Zhao Liheng, the words they said behind their backs were so sour that they could fry a plate of vinegared cabbage.

Tian Tian has indeed restrained a lot, but she doesn't know if it's her own thoughts, or if it's Qingming Zhenren's requirements for her. Tian Tian now wears plain clothes whenever he leaves the cave, the spiritual hairpin is still worn, and other decorations are missing. On weekdays, I mostly save for sword practice or practice, and I don't have much time to go out to play.

Nuomi once heard Zhao Liheng and a group of monks complaining, saying that Tian Tian was becoming less and less a female cultivator now, and even her hands became a little rough. But no one knows how many times these two will meet in private. Maybe Zhao Liheng just wanted to save face, so he said outside that he was still good with Tian Tian.

After the Ten Thousand Swords Sect lost the ring competition, the number of months of the disciples below was indeed much less. As a medicine refining boy, Nuomi should have been able to get some shares of immortal medicine, but in the next two months, not to mention the immortal medicine, even the spirit stones were less. Not to mention miscellaneous disciples.

On the day of the assignment, Sun Min didn't go back to the room at all, and he didn't know where to mix outside all night, and when he came back, his face was still ugly. Nuomi hid timidly to the side, a little afraid to talk to Sun Min.

Sun Min became even more angry when he saw Nuomi's timid appearance, turned his head and glared at Nuomi, and asked in a stiff tone, "What did you get?" ”

"Just, just a few spirit stones......" Nuomi looked at Sun Min's appearance as a bandit, and replied cautiously, all of them had the urge to take out the spirit stones and hand them over.

Sun Min didn't take care of the glutinous rice, nor did he ask her how many spirit stones she had received. Sun Min has been mixing in the mountain gate for all these years, and he always knows how many things can be divided by the identity of Nuomi, a medicine refining boy, if it is just some spirit stones, it must have been deducted. After this understanding, Sun Min's face became a little better.

But even if he knew that everyone was being compressed for a month, it couldn't make Sun Min happy.

These miscellaneous servants were not able to participate in the competition at all, and now they suddenly said that they would be responsible for the victory or loss of the competition, and they would be compressed for months, and no one would be happy. But if they are not happy, they can't do anything.

No matter how powerful he is, no matter how powerful he is, no matter how many disciples he says about it, no matter how many disciples he tries to do it, he can't get around it at all. Even if everyone's spiritual roots are the same, the inner and outer disciples who have received more resources will naturally practice faster, not to mention that the spiritual roots of most orthodox disciples are much better than those of miscellaneous disciples and body cultivation.

Even a small number of regular disciples are named in it because of certain relationships, and this name is not easy to ask for. It's not that there is a huge backer behind him, where can there be any name. No matter how rich the landlord of the mortal world is at the foot of the mountain, gold and silver are nothing in the eyes of cultivators.

There are not many legendary disciples like Nuomi after all.

What's more, glutinous rice's own qualifications are also excellent, but they have not been discovered.

The atmosphere inside the mountain gate could not affect the cultivation of glutinous rice. Even in such a depressing atmosphere, even Qingming Zhenren didn't have the heart to pay attention to glutinous rice anymore, and glutinous rice cultivated more diligently.

In the past, Qingming Zhenren would always inadvertently show a little concern for her, and that kind of care was not like ordinary elder affection, which made the glutinous rice hair stand on end every time. Now that no one was staring at her anymore, she relaxed.

Moreover, as the relationship above the mountain gate became more and more tense, many of the senior brothers on the other side of the main hall were no longer so focused on cultivation. When Nuomi went to the medicine garden every day to meditate, she often didn't meet anyone, so she had to be alone and occupied a large area. She was still a little nervous in front of people, but now that no one was there, she was able to concentrate on her cultivation.

Glutinous rice still followed its own pace, found a good position, sat down, took the pill, and began to meditate.

The little black ball in her body is now black and shiny, reflecting the emerald green and tender red seedlings growing on it, which are becoming more and more delicate and lovely. These seedlings stretched out a few more leaves, and one of the soil spirit seedlings had a small huā on it, half-open, and shy.

Every time I meditate and look inward, the meridians in my body will light up.

Nuomi controlled the true yuan force in the body, trying to find the gap of the little black ball and pulling out the connection with the dantian, but unfortunately it still failed today. She controlled the true yuan force to impact the little black ball every day, but all of them were pulled and swallowed by the small tentacles extending from the little black ball.

The little black ball is no longer the ethereal and small appearance it was at the beginning, just from the appearance, it looks like a black iron ball, slippery. If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few small seedlings growing on it, how would the glutinous rice dare to think of it with the original black ball.

Even the cold vine that was originally hidden in the glutinous rice meridians and blood vessels was attracted by the little black ball.

The cold vine stretched out from the meridians and circled around the edge of the little black ball, as if it wanted to find a place on the little black ball to take root and sprout. After the cold vine poked out of the meridians, the glutinous rice could see clearly what the branch was looking like now.

At the beginning, in order to pierce the branches of the small section of the cold vine into the glutinous rice "body", the small section of the earthy yellow color was not very long after the cold vine was forged by the heavenly fire in the "body".

But now the cold vines wrapped around the edge of the small black ball have grown into a long one, and even the color has become blue and faint, faintly exuding a cold atmosphere, which is diametrically opposite to the wilted appearance that Nuomi saw at the beginning. If it weren't for the identical leaves growing on the branch, the glutinous rice would not have recognized this thing by now.

When it pierced into Nuomi's wrist, the branches of the cold vine were extremely hard, but now they were as flexible as a hair, and even the slightest fluctuation of the spiritual power flowing into the body could push the long cold vine swing.

Nuomi had deliberately searched for information related to the cold vine in the scripture pavilion, but he couldn't find any jade slips with a record of the cold vine. The only one that is more similar is in a jade slip called "Strange Things", which records a kind of earthy yellow shade vine.

The vine is called Spirit Sucking Grass, and the description of its appearance is somewhat similar to that of the Cold Vine, but Spirit Sucking Grass is a very evil thing, which grows specifically in places where spiritual energy is strong, and is born by absorbing spiritual power. If the surrounding environment does not have spiritual power, it will slowly wither. This plant is generally made into whip-like magic weapons by evil cultivators, and it is said that it can directly disperse and absorb the monk's protective aura. Whips that absorb spiritual power will gradually grow on their own, becoming more and more tyrannical.

There are even evil cultivators with wood-based spiritual roots who specialize in cultivating the art of absorbing spirits, using the grass seed of the spiritual sucking grass as a medium, planting the spiritual sucking grass on other monks, so that the spiritual sucking grass can absorb the other party's spiritual energy, grow into huā, and finally bear fruit. This fruit contains a large amount of spiritual energy, and as long as the evil cultivator eats one, his skill can improve by leaps and bounds.

Nuomi was a little suspicious that the cold vine in her body was actually a spiritual absorbing grass, but Nuomi didn't see the symptoms of absorbing spiritual energy described in the jade slip. Although the cold vine has been drilling in her meridians, it is only now that it has taken root in the little black ball, and it has not absorbed the aura in her body at all before. In this way, there are some differences from the Spirit Sucking Grass.

However, the author of "Strange Things" has not seen the Spirit Absorbing Grass with his own eyes, but he only discovered the Jade Jian Technique describing the Spirit Absorbing Grass from an evil cultivator who was defeated by him, and it is still unclear what kind of plant is planted in the body of glutinous rice.
