Chapter 9: Retreat
Above the clouds, the father and son stood between the clouds, tears welling up in their eyes, but above their faces, there were irrepressible smiles and pleasures.
After Zhao Shenbi let out a long roar, eight years of depression in his heart was suddenly swept away!
Thinking back then, he was full of spirit and attracted the attention of the sect, and he was regarded as the first proud son of the Donglin Sect in the past thousand years.
But if you ascend to the heights, you will fall heavily.
In the past eight years, the pain, sorrow, resentment, unwillingness and powerlessness have been difficult for others to know, nor can they imagine, only the people concerned can understand how tragic and tormented it is.
Today, after eight years, Zhao Shenbi has finally solved the difficulties of the dantian and once again embarked on the road of cultivation!
At this moment, the father and son looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
Above the canopy, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, revealing infinite bright stars, and the surging spiritual power gradually subsided.
Zhao Xiuyun's heart moved, he immediately put away his sword in front of him, and looked down, Donglin Sect was shrouded in a faint golden light at this moment, obviously he was helpless by Sun Bihua, and covered it with blindfolded eyes, so as not to let the disciples and elders in the sect notice that the two of them were acting and cause a bad impact.
Zhao Xiuyun smiled slightly, "Sun Bihua, this time you are interested, the old man owes you a favor today." ”
The Blood Demon Pill was extremely dim at this moment, suspended in front of the two of them, motionless.
Only a blood-red essence in the center was extremely tenacious and could not be broken, and at this moment, it was actually absorbing the aura of heaven and earth in the extreme.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiuyun frowned, and a touch of anger appeared, and he immediately pinched his fingers, and the ancient sword roared, slashing down with the momentum of thunder, and between heaven and earth, a violent roar suddenly sounded.
A violent wave of qi rushed out, and it gradually calmed down after a while, but under the blow, the blood-colored pill was unmoved, and there was not the slightest scar on it!
The father and son were shocked, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
With the full force of Zhao Xiuyun Jindan's late cultivation, coupled with the sword cultivation method, Rao is great monk who has just entered the Yuanying realm does not dare to support it.
However, this blood-colored pill not only resisted a sword, but also did not damage the whole body in the slightest, which was really shocking.
Just without waiting for the father and son to react, the ice blue jade pendant in Zhao Shenbi's hand came out of his hand and floated to the blood pill.
As soon as the light flashed up and down the jade pendant, thousands of dazzling rays of light like a galaxy immediately emerged, and after a few entanglements, the blood pill was wrapped up, and then directly inhaled into the jade pendant.
At the same time, Zhao Shenbi's mind was sensitive, and he immediately sensed that the blood-colored pill was very honestly cowering in the jade pendant at this moment, motionless in the dim starry sky where he had stayed for a short time.
After noticing that there was nothing wrong with the jade pendant, Zhao Shenbi relieved himself and hurriedly informed his father.
After listening to Zhao Shenbi's words, Zhao Xiuyun frowned, pondered for a while, and gradually let go after a while, took a deep breath and said: "I didn't expect that this jade pendant has such great magical powers, and a small world has been formed inside, which is really appalling!"
"Xiaoqian World, what is it?" Zhao Shenbi was confused.
"As a father, I actually don't know much, but I once overheard that the legend of the Heavenly Rank Dao Weapon can be a vast world inside, which is really incredible. Zhao Xiuyun paused before answering in disbelief.
"Heavenly ...... Ladder ...... Daoqi ......" When Zhao Shenbi heard this, he was even more stunned on the spot as if he was instantly petrified.
Even Zhao Xiuyun was no better, his heart was like smashing into a boulder, and he suddenly set off a stormy wave. At this moment, he swallowed his saliva, and then forcibly calmed down and said: "No matter what, for you, it is a great opportunity after all, you must take advantage of it! Remember what my father said before, this jade pendant, no matter what the circumstances, should not let others know!"
Zhao Shenbi also knew the stakes, and after suppressing the shock in his heart, he quickly nodded yes.
After the shock, a wave of joy arose, and it couldn't help but come to the hearts of the father and son.
It seems that due to the untying of the knot in his heart, Zhao Xiuyun's cultivation, which has been stagnant for many years, is slightly loosened at this moment, and it seems to be one step closer to the realm of the Great Perfection of the Jie Dan, and the sword intent in his body is more round.
The great thing has been accomplished, the father and son looked at each other, understood in their hearts, and no longer lingered in the sky, and with a flash of sword light, they returned to the huge cave on the top of the tree.
This night, the Sect Master's Mansion was brightly lit, and it was not until dawn that Zhao Xiuyun walked out of the cave, looking tired, but he couldn't hide his joy, and he even sealed the cave with seven giant cyan sword qi before he broke through the sky and left.
On this day, Zhao Shenbi began his retreat.
On the day of breaking the pass, it will be nine days!
Adjacent to the lotus leaf dojo in the east, the sun is shining, and more than 1,000 disciples are sitting cross-legged and orderly.
Milky white aura cyclones poured out from the lotus leaf pool, like clouds and mist, slowly enveloping more than a thousand disciples.
As everyone continued to breathe in, the white cloud began to gradually thin, and wisps of spiritual energy immediately gushed out from the pool, replenishing the clouds.
After going back and forth several times, the clouds and mist in the dojo completely dissipated, revealing the figures of the disciples.
In the middle of the dojo, Li Yujue was wearing a white flowing cloud robe, his red hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and his horizontal sword was sitting on top of the lotus leaves, and the red aura was swirling around him.
After a while, Li Yujue's seductive red lips opened lightly, and all the aura around his body was incorporated into his body, and his cultivation breath was faintly stronger.
I saw that his slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and his beautiful eyes slowly opened, rippling like spring water, which was breathtaking. This is in these beautiful eyes, but there is no joy at the moment, but a little irritability and resentment, as well as a trace of amazement and loss, which makes people lose their minds.
Girl's feelings are the most moving.
"Shi Kun, you said that this Shen Bi brother has been missing for three months, sneaky, what the hell are you doing!" Li Yujue stood up, slapped a sword on the head of Shi Kun, who was meditating cross-legged beside him, and said with some indignation.
Shi Kun suffered this "unwarranted disaster", but he didn't dare to be angry or speak, and touched his head a little aggrievedly, compared with the tall and burly figure, it looked very honest and down-to-earth.
"Senior Sister Yujue, you have asked this sentence more than a hundred times in these months!"
When Li Yujue heard this, he was even more angry, and as soon as his lotus-like slender jade hand was raised, he was about to hit Shi Kun's head again.
Shi Kun hurriedly shrank his head and said: "Some time ago, I went to ask Shizun, and Shizun said that although Senior Brother Shen Bi is now broken, he still needs to regulate his body meridians, and he must concentrate on cultivation in order to step into the realm of Kaifu as soon as possible and participate in the next sect assessment and trial." ”
When Li Yujue heard this, he stopped putting his hand away, lowered his head a little dejectedly, and sighed.
Seeing this, Shi Kun quipped even more "bluntly": "Hehe, Senior Sister Yujue, the ancients had a saying, 'If you don't see it, it's like every other three autumns', and now you haven't seen Senior Brother Zhao for three months, no wonder you can't sit still." ”
"Stone, you stinky boy! Talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will smash your mouth with a sword!" Li Yujue's face suddenly appeared a touching crimson, her beautiful eyes glared, and she pretended to be angry.
Shi Kun continued to smile, "Don't say it, don't say it, if you don't say it, if you don't say it, it's okay." It's just that this sect assessment will be held in less than ten days, and I don't know how Senior Brother Shen Bi is practicing now. ”
Li Yujue raised his eyebrows, "Then you still need to ask, now that the dantian is unharmed, with Brother Shen Bi's talent, cultivation is like drinking water." ”
Under the prosperous sun, the girl's slender legs swayed, as if she remembered something interesting, pursed her lips and smiled sweetly.
The big sun hangs high.
Thousands of rays of sunlight are like thousands of golden threads, shining warmly through the mottled gaps in the leaves above the huge cave at the top of the tree.
In the cave, Zhao Shenbi was naked, soaked in a huge flower bud.
This bud opens slightly, like a huge turquoise barrel, taking root from the ground, entrenched in the center of the cave, and does not look like a dead thing, exuding a rich vitality from the top and bottom of the body, strange and extraordinary.
The buds are filled with a gelatinous thick dark green liquid, which exudes a faint fragrance at this moment, and faintly has a green fluorescent flicker, rising a pure and compelling aura.
As he breathed, a stream of cyan gas visible to the naked eye rose out of the spiritual fluid and poured into Zhao Shenbi's skin, causing a jade-like luster to emerge from his body.
At this moment, the meridians of Zhao Shenbi's whole body are already very tough and full, full of extremely abundant spiritual power, and they are extremely pure.
The place of the dantian is even more full of spiritual power, and faintly, there seems to be an invisible phantom, like a whirlpool, slowly rotating and exuding bursts of suction, compressing the spiritual power of the dantian into drops of liquid.
And the dark green pure spiritual liquid also became thin and clear at a speed visible to the naked eye at every moment, and in less than half a day, there was no trace of spiritual energy.
If it weren't for the faint fragrance of plants and trees remaining on it, even if he was said to be a bucket of water, I am afraid that some people would believe it.
"I didn't expect that now that I have tried my best to cultivate, the consumption is so huge. Zhao Shenbi opened his eyes, looked at the crystal clear spiritual liquid, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Since the dantian blood was pulled out, Zhao Shenbi has been in retreat for three months.
In the past three months, Zhao Shenbi can be said to have reorganized the veins of his whole body, dispersed qi and rebuilt, which cost a lot of money.
In order to break through to the realm of Kaifu as soon as possible, he did not leave home at all, meditating cross-legged in his father's cave mansion all day long, absorbing incomparably pure and huge spiritual energy to practice the opening of the pulse.
In addition, for the sake of this precious son, Zhao Xiuyun did not hesitate to spend a lot of time and used the fire of Jindan to refine dozens of barrels of pure spiritual liquid with secret methods to refine Zhao Shenbi's physique and strengthen his meridians.
What's even more extravagant is that Zhao Xiuyun even took out countless elixirs and asked Elder Wang, the chief Dan Master of the sect, to refine more than 100 first-grade elixirs "Heavenly Spirit Pill" for Zhao Shenbi's cultivation.
At this moment, Zhao Shenbi jumped out of the wooden barrel, casually picked up a red pill from the stone table, threw it into his mouth and chewed it.
If the Dan masters and disciples in the sect saw this scene, they would inevitably beat their chests, feel deeply distressed, and be extravagant and wasteful.
It's not that the people in the sect are narrow-minded, but this elixir that can help with cultivation is really too precious and a strange commodity to live in.
This Heavenly Spirit Pill, although it is only a first-grade pill suitable for Kaifu Realm monks to take, is still an in-class pill, and it is also refined by the chief Dan master, far from being compared to those miscellaneous pills or even pills that do not enter the stream.
Ordinary Kaifu realm disciples get this elixir, and they are very difficult to treasure, and it is used as a help when breaking through the bottleneck, and they are usually willing to take it.
On the other hand, Zhao Shenbi has not yet completely condensed the Qi Mansion, but he chews several pieces a day, like eating jelly beans, how can he not make people frightened.
After the pill was entered, it turned into an extremely hot air flow in an instant, surging towards the meridians and the dantian, causing Zhao Shenbi's body surface to start to heat and turn slightly red.
In the dantian, I saw that the invisible cyclone, in the center, had gathered a fist-sized mass of liquid spiritual power, almost trying to break through the vortex and turn it into a majestic qi, but it was tightly contained, constantly compressed and condensed.
At this moment, the fiery medicinal power rushed in, and the invisible cyclone suddenly showed signs that it could not be suppressed, and it trembled violently, as if it was about to unfold completely, forming a vast ocean.
Zhao Shenbi had already expected it, and there was not the slightest panicked look on his face, so he immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, and suppressed the cyclone that was about to move in the dantian.
After a while, the dantian returned to calm, and the fiery gases had to retreat out and pour into the limbs of the body, making the whole body full of a warm feeling.
In fact, as early as half a month ago, Zhao Shenbi had already cultivated to the peak of the condensation period, all the meridians around his body were opened and condensed, and the spiritual power of the dantian was gathered enough, so he could already open up the Qi Mansion, step into the realm of the Kaifu Mansion, and officially become a monk.
However, vaguely, Zhao Shenbi felt that invisibly, there were countless distant pictures flashing in his mind, these pictures were blurry, and he didn't know where they came from, but they were extremely familiar and cordial, as if he was everything he had experienced, and he felt the same way.
In the picture, the fog is thick and the sun covers the sky, and an old man who seems to have melted into the fog, even his face and body are blurred, is meditating and listening to a child in a white shirt.
The voice was ethereal, as if it came from the end of time, and it was not even clear what it was, but it made people feel simple and mysterious, like an immortal preaching, which made him feel enlightened.
A wonderful sense of cultivation continued to emerge from Zhao Shenbi's sea of knowledge, although it could not be turned into concrete words, but there was an indescribable charm in it.
Since then, Zhao Shenbi didn't even know for what reason, and faintly felt that he should not open the mansion like this, but constantly compress and refine the spiritual power of the dantian, suppressing the invisible vortex that was about to turn into a qi mansion, and making the spiritual power gradually feed back the flesh and blood of the whole body.
Maybe there is a providence in the dark, and even Zhao Shenbi doesn't know that by chance, he still embarked on the road of double rest without the slightest body refining method.
As the fiery air flow through his body, his muscles were even more crystal full, full of a sense of majestic power.
Zhao Shenbi twisted and looked around his body, and screamed violently, and the strength of his body instantly transferred to his right hand, and he immediately struck out, causing the air to fluctuate slightly.
Only then did he put away his hand satisfied, and replaced the new spiritual liquid into the bud again, and soaked it again.
"It's less than ten days away...... Sect trial, this time, I will definitely make a splash!"
