Chapter 34: Practice Makes Perfect
The two returned to Mermaid Island, which was naturally a welcome scene for everyone.
Qi Zhiming exchanged pleasantries with the mermaids, and then went back to his room to rest.
After many days of getting along day and night, the princess was reluctant. Although the names of the two have been decided, they are not married after all, so they have to say goodbye for the time being.
When I woke up in the morning, the princess came to look for her.
Qi Zhiming knew that the princess had come on the order of the elder, and he also had something to ask, so he came to the elder's residence together.
The clansmen are all there, so naturally there is another greeting.
"Zhiming, this time I went out with the princess, but did I gain something?" The elder began to call him Zhiming, maybe to be more cordial, right?
Qi Zhiming didn't think about it, it didn't matter.
"Thank you for the elder's advice, I have gained a lot. I got some top-grade spirit stones, and a red ball. Nightshade, show it to the elders to see what it is. Qi Zhiming said with a smile.
The princess took out a bag of top-grade spirit stones and fire dragon balls and put them on the stone table in front of the elder together.
The elder only glanced at the spirit stone, and his gaze fell on the red ball.
The curious eyes of the clansmen were also staring at the red ball, and there was a lot of discussion in their mouths.
The elder picked up the red ball, looked and touched, checked and smelled, and did not speak for a long time.
Qi Zhiming explained in detail the process of getting the red ball and Xiao Bu Rang, and then drove Xiao Bu Rang to show it in public.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by Xiao Burang, and they were amazed in their mouths, and when they looked at Qi Zhiming's gaze, they were even more admirable.
The elder looked at Xiao Bu for a while in surprise, then looked at the red ball in his hand again, and laughed: "Zhiming is really a person with a great opportunity!" The old man can't be mistaken! Haha······" This time I smiled sincerely.
The elder complimented. Xiao Bu Rang is a gift from a senior, it is really Zhiming's life-saving thing, ashamed! Qi Zhiming smiled bitterly.
······
After a small episode, everyone was expecting the elder to unveil the mystery of the red ball again.
"Zhiming, this red ball you got should be a Dan Stone, it may be some kind of animal's Inner Dan. When he was dying, he spit out of his mouth. At that time, it was not powerful, and it automatically absorbed the aura of the island when it fell to the ground, and after at least a thousand years of changes, the climate gradually formed, and it hid in the belly of the mountain to continue to absorb the aura. ”
"If it takes a while, it will definitely go deep underground, and it will not reappear until it has cultivated into the form of the original creature. It's just that I don't know what kind of creature left it, but in the end it was used by you, what a big chance! The elder said slowly, infinitely envious.
"Elder, I named this red ball 'Fire Dragon Ball', I wonder if it's appropriate? Ask the elders to give it a name. Qi Zhiming diverted the topic.
"It doesn't matter what the name is, maybe it may not be a dragon pill, the name 'Fire Dragon Ball' is very good!" The elder laughed.
"The princess and I have found many places to live, so why did the elder decide to buy an island and move elsewhere? Zhiming was puzzled in his heart, the elder is not strange! Qi Zhiming had doubts in his heart for a long time, so he took this opportunity to ask directly.
"Stinky boy, if you are only allowed to fall in love with the princess, you are not allowed to have love among the clansmen? This matter will have to wait for Gou Hong to come back before making a decision. The elder scolded with a smile.
Qi Zhiming scratched his head embarrassedly, and generally understood the elder's intentions. The doubts in my heart disappeared for a while, and it was inconvenient to ask in detail, so I said again: "The younger generation wants to find a place with the princess to practice the exercises." Although it won't take too long, in order to prevent trouble, these spirit stones are asked to be accepted by the elders for the replacement of the formation. As he spoke, he pushed the pocket containing the spirit stone.
"Zhiming has a heart, and now he is a family, and the old man will laugh at it. I hope you two will succeed in your cultivation and return soon!" The elder smiled more and more kindly.
······
There was nothing else to do on the island, so Qi Zhiming and the princess left Mermaid Island again.
"Brother Ming, where are we going to practice the exercises?" At the elder's residence, the princess was shy in front of her clansmen. After all, if you are not married, it is not always a matter to stick together all day, so you can't wipe your face. At this time, there were only the two of them, and they had no scruples.
"Go to Liu Wu's predecessor's residence, and then become proficient in the exercises. I always feel that now I am watching cats and tigers, and I can't get the essence. ”
"Okay, those formations you said are also specious, and I haven't memorized them all."
"Then are you still taking the fawn?"
"Bring it, Duoduo is with me every day, how can you not bring it?" The princess wondered why he asked.
"There's nothing to feed it there, you have to bring food for it, or don't blame me for starving!" Qi Zhiming reminded.
"Just bring food and feed it, why are you so fierce? Duoduo come here, let's ignore him. The princess glared at Qi Zhiming and stroked the fawn.
······
Qi Zhiming drove Xiao Bu and came directly to Liu Wu's cave.
I first went to the cemetery to worship Liu Wu.
The oath should not be made lightly, and when it is made, it must be fulfilled.
Now he still has no clue about those humanoid creatures, and standing in front of Liu Wu's grave, his mood has become heavy again.
The princess asked curiously.
Qi Zhiming told the princess what he knew about Liu Wu's past.
Hearing this, the princess burst into tears, gritted her teeth, and swore a heavy oath. He must take the descendants of Liu Wu's enemies and avenge him.
······
Seeing the treasures full of holes again, although Qi Zhiming had already prepared, he was still shaken.
The princess is even more looking around, eager to have three heads and six arms, and play to her heart's content.
The fawn is curious about jewelry, sniffing around.
"These are all me and Gou Hong, one and a half. My half is a dowry for you, so play as you please! Qi Zhiming joked.
I like the princess's surprise very much, this bad habit makes his self-esteem unprecedentedly satisfied.
Although no matter how many treasures there are, they can't touch their hearts, and they are far less real than a few spirit stones. But everyone has his own preferences, and he cannot be criticized.
Let the princess admire the treasure there, come to the stone table where the exercises are kept, and look at it carefully.
Sit down cross-legged, experience it with your heart, and immediately cultivate, and it only takes a while to settle down.
······
When I practiced the same exercises again, my experience deepened even more.
Now his skills have increased greatly, far better than his previous ignorance.
At this time, the internal breath runs through the meridians in the body, unimpeded, not just a little more brute force in the past. With joy in my heart, I have cultivated more diligently.
After completing a weekly cycle of internal breathing, I felt like Zhu Bajie had eaten ginseng fruit, and I was refreshed. Along with the bones, it was also a few lighter, and the whole person felt light and lost weight.
Looking at the princess who was still lingering in the treasure, she couldn't help but shake her head helplessly. After taking a lotus seed, I re-entered the cultivation and immersed myself in that wonderful realm again.
When I opened my eyes, I felt like I was better than last time. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, I had often cultivated before, but there was no such obvious effect.
Without much thought, he stood up and brought the princess, who was still nostalgic for the treasure, like a baby, and ignored her struggles and protests.
"I've told you half of it, what else is there to see? Are you here to practice or play with jewelry? If you want a baby, take it away! If you want to cultivate, start now! Qi Zhiming scolded with a dark face.
"Then I'll cultivate first, and then take it with me when I leave!" The princess was very aggrieved, and tears flowed down her eyes.
Hearing what the princess said was funny, Qi Zhiming's stiff face couldn't pretend anymore, turned his head, and forced a smile: "Then let's practice first, this exercise is very wonderful." The reason why I didn't dare to let you practice before was because I was afraid that this exercise was not suitable for women, after all, Liu Wu's predecessor was a man. You should take a closer look at it, stop immediately when you encounter something unusual, and tell me immediately! ”
The princess nodded aggrievedly and looked at it carefully on the stone table engraved with the exercises.
······
The fawn, perhaps tired, fell asleep in the pile of jewels, and the cave fell silent.
Qi Zhiming didn't dare to continue cultivating anymore, and watched the princess study the exercises intently, lest he lose it.
The princess sat down thoughtfully on her knees, closed her eyes, and was immediately settled, her eyelashes still wet.
Qi Zhiming looked at it, his heart twitched violently, and then he calmed down again.
Although the sea is rich in resources, there are also many dangers. I don't want the princess to be powerful, I just hope that she can protect herself and not be hurt.
In Qi Zhiming's nervous and anxious gaze, the princess completed a cycle of weeks and opened her eyes.
"Brother Ming, it's really good! The whole body is comfortable, it's amazing! The princess's smile bloomed, brilliant as a hundred flowers, and Qi Zhiming couldn't open his eyes for a while.
"It's good that there is no discomfort. This is a lotus seed, a real treasure of heaven and earth. If you refine it after taking it, you will definitely increase your power greatly! Qi Zhiming's tense heart relaxed, took out a lotus seed and handed it to the princess, smiling happily.
The princess took the lotus seed and said gratefully, "Brother Ming is so good! ”
"It's right to be good to your wife, take it and try it, I'll protect you!" Qi Zhiming urged.
The princess let out an 'um' sound, took the lotus seed, and began the cultivation of the second Sunday.
Qi Zhiming put the grass brought by the princess in front of the fawn Duoduo, completely ignoring the fact that the grass was full of rare treasures, and he didn't care whether the fawn could eat enough.
If it weren't for the fear that the princess would be sad, the delicacy of venison would have been tasted long ago.
The princess woke up on the second Sunday, and after Qi Zhiming noticed that she was fine, both of them were out of the realm and cultivated with their hearts.
The lotus seeds had already been consumed by the two of them, and He Shou Wu was taken separately, and the food they brought was exhausted.
The fawn Duoduo was so hungry that she ran over and licked the princess's face, and then the two suddenly realized that they didn't know how much time had passed.
"Brother Ming, I feel that my whole body is full of strength, much more powerful than before, I want to go to sea to try!" The princess is full of confidence.
Most of those who have gained strength will be like this. I don't know how thick the sky is, and I look like Lao Tzu's best style in the world.
Qi Zhiming is a rural child and knows a common saying that "the poor get rich". There is a saying in the book called "Yoro is arrogant".
"Okay, where do you want to go? I'm with you! Do you want to take these treasures with you before you go? Qi Zhiming quipped.
"You hate it! Besides, I'll ignore you. The princess said coquettishly.
But in his heart, he thought: "These treasures will not run away with their feet, sooner or later they will be mine." Hum! ”
"Okay, I also want to find some cultivation resources. Let's go back to the island to report safety, and I'll have to let your deer eat something. Qi Zhiming said.
The princess hugged the fawn and kissed and apologized: "Duoduo, sister is sorry for you, are you hungry?" I'm sorry! I'll give you something to eat, good! ”
The fawn just kept licking the princess's hand, which was the most cute.
Qi Zhiming drove Xiao Bu and the princess out of Liu Wu's cave.
Both were excited.
The princess's cultivation has just begun, but Qi Zhiming has already practiced makes perfect.
