Chapter 19: The Fourth Layer of Qi Refining

Exercise: Nameless recipe.

Stage: Treasure Chapter 3 (83.5/500)

System: 423.9 units of aura detected, is it refining?

After drinking a whole nest of Huo Geng crucian carp soup, he actually obtained hundreds of units of spiritual energy in one go, which was the largest amount of spiritual energy that Lao Tan had obtained at one time since he came to this world.

"How long does it take to digest that amount of aura?" Seeing this system prompt, Lao Tan couldn't help frowning while being happy, it took one night to digest the 50 units he got from Xiao Yi last time, but this time it was more than 400 units, I'm afraid it would take several times as long, right?

Worried that something would happen if the time was too long, Lao Tan immediately dispelled the idea of returning to his residence, and turned around and ran directly to the back mountain.

By moonlight, I went back to the waterfall where I had meditated last time and found a place to sit cross-legged.

"Let's get started......"

Taking a deep breath, Lao Tan easily entered a meditative state with the help of the system. As the aura was absorbed, an astonishing heat emanated from his abdomen, and his abdomen swelled slightly, followed by a patch of red on the surface of his body's skin.

In this state, the inhaled aura reaches the limbs through the blood vessels in the stomach, and finally stores it in Lao Tan's subcutaneous fat.

As time passed, several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and more and more aura accumulated in Lao Tan's body, and his body began to gradually become rounded, and he felt that his whole person was fatter.

Not only that, the increase in aura made Lao Tan's body temperature higher and higher, and now Lao Tan's skin is like a cooked prawn, exuding an astonishing high temperature.

The aura began to transform Lao Tan's body, especially the fat layer under the skin, and the space continued to expand under the impact of the aura, like a sponge falling into the water, frantically absorbing water.

Meanwhile.

A certain attic in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family.

A little maid in green clothes walked in front with small steps, and behind her, a stunning purple shadow followed.

When the two came to the attic, the little maid turned around and said to the purple-clothed woman behind her, "Second Miss, the eldest lady is inside, do you want the little one to pass it on to you?" ”

Xiao Qingyan glanced at the attic with beautiful eyes, was stunned, shook his head half-loudly and said, "No need, you can step down." ”

The little maid saluted respectfully, and then left Xiao Qingyan alone.

Xiao Qingyan stood in front of the attic and stopped for a moment, and was about to push the door in, when at this time, a beautiful piano sound came from the attic.

The hand pressed on the carved wooden door paused slightly, a trace of regret flashed on Xiao Qingyan's face, and she gently pushed the door open.

There is a woman in white sitting in the attic, her face is somewhat similar to Xiao Qingyan, but she is more mature, but this woman's face is very pale, as if she has not been exposed to the sun for a long time, her delicate body is like a willow, and the sound of the piano comes from the piano under the fingertips of this woman, and the sound of the piano surrounds the beam for three days, which makes people unbearable.

Xiao Qingyan's movements were very light, she stood behind a screen and quietly looked at the woman who was playing the qin, her eyes getting darker.

I don't know how long it took for the sound of the piano to go out, but the woman who stroked the piano found Xiao Qingyan behind the screen, she let go of the strings and stood up and said excitedly: "Little sister, when did you come back?" ”

Xiao Qingyan stepped forward to support the Fuqin woman, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry sister, I actually came back two days ago, but my father and second uncle have been pestering me to ask about the master, and I have time to see you today." ”

"It's okay, it's good if you can come back." The woman swayed her head lightly.

"Sister, how are you doing?" After pulling the other party to sit down, Xiao Qingyan asked.

"It's not the same as before, and my body is good and bad." The woman stroking the qin smiled.

"Dad, really, why would you want to live in a place like this?" Xiao Qingyan glanced at the simple environment of this attic, and Liu Mei couldn't help frowning.

The Fuqin woman in front of her is Xiao Qingyan's own sister, her name is Ziyuan, it is hard to imagine that she is also the daughter of the sect leader of the Xiao family, and her treatment is so different.

"Qingyan, don't blame your father, he is also under the pressure of the family, if I wasn't his daughter, with a body like mine, I would probably have been driven to live in the outer courtyard a long time ago, how could I still stay here to play the piano and have fun." Xiao Ziyuan smiled indifferently.

Xiao Qingyan glanced at her sister deeply, and said half-loudly, "Sister, in fact, you want to go to the outer courtyard to live more than staying in the inner courtyard, right?" Or, you want to leave the Xiao family......"

Xiao Ziyuan was slightly stunned, and smiled half-loudly, "Sure enough, my sister can't hide anything from my sister." As she spoke, she paused again and continued: "Don't talk about mine, let's talk about yours, how has your life been in the Imperial Sword Sect all these years?" Interesting? ”

Xiao Qingyan's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyelids drooped, and she said, "I don't want to say it." ”

Xiao Ziyuan knew what her sister was thinking, took her hand and said, "Say it, I want to hear it, you didn't say it just now, I have been looking forward to the outside world, you can talk about it." ”

Hearing her sister's coquettish voice with herself, Xiao Qingyan finally agreed to speak, and she spoke at a speed that did not slow down, telling her life in the Imperial Sword Sect over the years.

Xiao Ziyuan held her chin with her hands and listened carefully, her eyes gradually revealing a look of yearning.

……

Time passed two days unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye, the Xiao family's foundation building ceremony was approaching, and at this time, the mountain gates of the inner and outer courtyards were lit up, and the Xiao family was making the final arrangements for the ceremony.

Xiao's family was busy inside and out, even the little overlord Xiao Ao was no exception, today he finally came to the kitchen of the outer courtyard, and planned to bring the qualification token to Lao Tan to participate in the Shanmen Xiaobi, but he didn't expect to see no one after looking for a long time.

Xiao Ao caught Yang Dequan who was coming towards him at this time and asked, "What about Old Tan?" ”

Yang Dequan was rushing to the welcome desk at the mountain gate to set up, when he was suddenly stopped by Xiao Ao, and could only answer stubbornly, "Young Master Ao, do you have something to do with Lao Tan?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me where he is?" Xiao Ao said impatiently.

"This, the villain doesn't know, Lao Tan hasn't seen anyone since he asked for leave the day before yesterday, and I don't know if he has come back." Speaking of Lao Tan, Yang Dequan could only smile bitterly, and said in his heart that this kid had only been in the outer courtyard for a few days, but most of them had not seen anyone, if it weren't for Xiao Ao's relationship, he would have been angry.

At this time, the back mountain of the outer courtyard.

Lao Tan, who Xiao Ao couldn't find, was still sitting cross-legged under the waterfall, but at this time, Lao Tan had already changed greatly, and he was no longer the young man with clear eyebrows.

After meditating and refining for two days and two nights, Lao Tan's whole body fat was filled with aura, the whole person swelled into a sphere, his clothes were torn, and his red fat was exposed to the air, like a big fat boy.

I don't know how long it took, but Lao Tan, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes in vain, suddenly opened his mouth, and shouted.

"Ho!"

Lao Tan's mouth spewed out a stream of hot steam, and then the pores of his whole body opened, and streams of white air erupted, forming a circle of white mist.

In the blink of an eye, Lao Tan's whole person was surrounded by mist, and in the mist, he slowly stood up.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound on the ground, Lao Tan in the fog flew out with his feet like a white crane spreading his wings, and gently fell to the ground after moving ten feet in the air.

"It's a feeling...... Is it the realm of the fourth layer of qi refining? Lao Tan raised his white hands, at this moment, where did he still look as fat as a pig just now? On the contrary, he regained his previous delicate figure, except for the micro-infrared skin, it was completely impossible to see that he was the same person as the fat man just now.
