Chapter Twenty-Three: Cultivation in the Mountains
In this way, Xu Qing and Jacob reached an alliance, and they searched for elixirs together, studied methods, and used this method to cultivate together. Both of them have also broken through their respective bottlenecks, and their cultivation has improved rapidly. It didn't take long for the two of them to have a high status in Xihaimo.
But later, the cultivation of the two became higher and higher, and the elixir they needed became better and better. It's getting harder and harder to find. Just when the two of them couldn't break through the trouble, they found that there was one thing they needed, and there was only one in the entire Yellowstone Continent, and that was the Xuantian Fire Phoenix Grass hidden in the treasure room of the leader of Xihai Mo, the "King Kong Tiger" Lei Zhantian. This time it can stump the two of them, I don't know what to do, this magic medicine is left by Lei Zhantian for himself to use when he breaks through, and the two of them will definitely not be able to get it.
Just when the two of them were in a state of distress, a person suddenly came into their sight. That is Lei Zhantian's daughter Lei Xiaowan. Jacob also had some impure purpose to pursue Lei Xiaowan at that time, and the two hit it off and soon became glue-like and greasy together.
Later, the relationship between the two became better and better, and Jacob coaxed Lei Xiaowan to steal her father's Xuantian Fire Phoenix Grass. Only then did he and Xu Qing use this herb together to break through the last boundary.
But the paper never caught the fire, and later the East Window incident, Lei Zhantian was extremely angry. If Jacob is arrested, he will be executed, Lei Xiaowan pleaded hard, and in the end, he even forced Lei Zhantian to kill Jacob. At that time, Jacob did not confess to Xu Qing and stopped everything on himself, which is why Xu Qing was always grateful to him later.
Although Jacob was not killed by Lei Zhantian, he was still punished. Lei Zhantian abolished all of Jacob's cultivation, turned him into an ordinary person, and drove him out of Xihaimo. Since then, Jacob has been a wasted person who can't cultivate, which has hit him hard, and later Lei Xiaowan and Jacob came to settle in this small mountain village in the north and have been living here ever since. Xu Qing always felt that he was responsible for this matter, but Jacob did not admit it, saying that it was his fault.
"Then what about Lei Xiaowan later, why haven't you seen her now?" Gu Yue asked curiously when she heard this.
"Alas," Jacob sighed, "she died when she gave birth to Yaxuan's father. Later, Yaxuan's parents also died in an accident, and the poor child can only rely on me as an old man for his life. ”
"Grandpa..."Yaxuan looked at her grandfather with tears in her eyes, she also knew her grandfather's past for the first time, and felt sad for what happened to her grandfather.
"Okay! It's all over, now although I can't cultivate, but those methods are still in my mind, now let Xu Qing go out to find materials, and I will use these drugs to transform your body at night." You kid will suffer in the future, let me tell you that my method is more painful than Xu Qing's, haha. Jacob interrupted the sad atmosphere with a smile, and everyone began to eat happily again.
After the meal, Gu Yue helped Yaxuan clean up, and Xu Qing and Jacob's brother came to the courtyard together.
"Why don't you tell them that it really looks like Lei Zhantian coveted your method at that time, wanted to take it for himself, sent people to hunt you down, and wanted to seize your results. Later, Xiao Wan was injured in the escape again and again, so that she died of a great injury during childbirth?" Xu Qing said as he looked at the sky.
"Alas... What's the use? It's been so many years. Later, didn't you help me avenge and kill Lei Zhantian, don't mention those past events. Jacob said slowly.
"Old man, my life is coming to an end, and I'm just worried about Xiaoyue's future now. You must help me this time. Xu Qing said.
"Don't worry, I know how to do it. Although I can't help your injury, Xiao Yue's physical innate condition is very good, and I am sure that his cultivation will be smooth, and there will be no obstacles ahead. Jacob said.
"Okay, I believe you, I can only do it now to let him have no obstacles in the Yellowstone Continent, and the rest is up to him. Xu Qing said with a sad face.
After tidying up the supper, Gu Yue followed Jacob to a wooden hut, which was built separately next to the main house, and there were two rooms in it, one of which was a stove and used to make a fire. The other room was attached to a large wooden barrel, filled with various medicines, materials, and unknown liquids. The liquid is gurgling and tumbling at the moment. Gu Yue looked at it and swallowed his saliva in disgust.
"Now strip naked and sit inside. Jacob said to Gu Yue.
"I... This, do you really want to go in?" Gu Yue said hesitantly.
"Of course, only by suffering hardship can you become a superior person. This will be of great help to your cultivation, hurry up and don't rub it off, the medicinal effect will be dissipated in a while. Jacob changed his state and said sternly.
Gu Yue saw that there was nothing she could do, so she obediently took off her clothes and sat in the barrel, and Gu Yue, who had just gone in, grinned. Then Jacob came and took the lid on the barrel and put it on.
The lid of this wooden barrel is two semicircles, put together to form a lid, and there is a circular hole in the middle, which just stuck Gu Yue's neck inside. When Jacob had fastened the lid, he fastened it around it with a large iron chain. This time, Gu Yue couldn't come out even if he wanted to. Then Jacob took a small piece of wood from the top of the barrel, and a small opening leaked out. Jacob took a covered bucket from the ground. I opened the lid and poured the contents down.
Gu Yue saw that Jacob had poured into it a bunch of living creatures, some of them looked like snakes with long bodies, but not like because they had limbs, and their heads were also somewhat fish-like, and there were no scales on their bodies but a layer of small yellowish fluff.
"Ahh
"It's nothing, don't panic, it's not a poisonous snake. It's called the 'Swamp Rolling Dragon', and when heated, they will desperately swallow the liquid around them, and they will also stab their mouths into the skin of people and clutch them. These things will be of great help to you in absorbing the effects of the medicine, just be patient for a while, and your cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds in the future. Jacob explained.
"Ahh
Jacob ignored him and turned out and closed the door of the hut, leaving Gu Yue alone to howl in pain.
The next morning, Xu Qing and Jacob woke up early to practice in the morning. At this time, Yaxuan walked out of the room, with heavy dark circles on his face, and looked at the two listlessly.
"Yaxuan, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well yesterday?" Xu Qing couldn't help but ask when he saw her like this.
"Oh, don't mention it, Gu Yue has been howling all night, where can people sleep! I'm so angry, what about the kid?" Yaxuan said angrily.
"Oh, he was bombed to the mountains to cultivate by me just now, and he will come back in the evening, and I will help you talk about him when the time comes, don't always yell when you rest at night. Xu Qing took over and said to Yaxuan.
