Chapter 12 Gathering for a Barbecue

In the following days, Chishui began to frequently enter and exit the Qianyunmen Business Alliance. She sold the condensed array flags to the Shang Alliance, except for a few sets she kept, some of them were exchanged for more blank array flags, and the other part was exchanged for high-grade Qi Condensation Pills.

Because she now spends most of her time refining the array, her cultivation speed is already slow, and the reduction of her cultivation time is even more unable to keep up with the past, so she has to take pills to assist her cultivation. In this way, the technique of refining the formation was exercised, and the cultivation was not left behind, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

In this way, three months passed, time flies, and autumn arrives again.

Chishui stood idly and comfortably on the mountainside, with a leisurely attitude, and the autumn breeze gently stroked her face, driving her hair to fly slightly, sending a trace of coolness. Occasionally, a golden leaf breaks free from the shackles of the branches, flutters in the wind, and falls into the embrace of the earth.

Chishui looked into the distance, taking in the endless autumn colors, and after a long time, he set off and walked to the place agreed with Qin Xiang and them.

It was a quiet, deep valley, shrouded in a faint mist, and a small stream bent along it, and the water flowed slowly, washing most of the pebbles along the stream clean and round.

When Chishui came to the stream, he saw that Qin Xiang had already chosen a place, sat aside, and when he saw Chishui coming, he hurriedly beckoned him to pass.

Chishui took a closer look, it was indeed a good place for barbecue, there was a vacant piece of land, surrounded by several pebbles that were not big or small, and on one pebble there were several freshly washed and disemboweled fish, it seemed that these were the fruits of Qin Xiang's labor.

Chi Shui sat down next to a pebble at random, looking at the opposite side, Qin Xiang was dressed in green clothes inside the door, with a Lingyun bun on his head, only a carved jasper hairpin was inserted obliquely, and the rest of his hair was scattered behind, looking clear and noble. I saw her hands behind her back, but her eyes were looking around.

"What are you looking at?" Chishui was curious.

"Senior Brother Qi has opened a cave here! It's in the valley next door. Qin Xiang explained.

"Oh?" When Chi Shui heard this, he was really a little curious, and began to look around. "It's really a good place to cultivate. How did Brother Qi find here? ”

"Well, you're going to ask him. Yes! My brother is back. ”

Chi Shui turned his head and saw that it was Qin Yu who was back, also dressed in green clothes, holding a lot of things in his hands, and when he got closer, Chi Shui saw that the mushrooms and wild vegetables in his arms were all mountain specialties.

He first nodded towards Chishui, then chose a pebble near the stream, put down all the things in his arms, squatted down, and began to wash them one by one.

Chi Shui wanted to step forward to help, but was pulled by Qin Xiang, "Don't, we've already divided the work, you, just wait to help us bake." ”

"Isn't it?" Chishui couldn't laugh or cry, he really convinced them. "Where did Brother Qi go?"

Qin Xiang looked in one direction, "I'm going to collect firewood." ”

"Yours are yours!" Chishui served.

After a while, I saw Qi Jun coming back, holding a large pile of firewood in his hand, putting it aside, sitting down on the pebbles on the side of Chishui, and said with a smile: "I have long heard Qin Xiang say, you bake the most delicious, I have never had a chance, I can't miss it today." ”

"No problem, you'll see me later." Chi Shui nodded and asked casually, "By the way, Brother Qi, this is a good place, how did you find it?" Looking at Qi Jun, who had just come back from a mission, it was dark, but his figure was more upright, heroic, and he was dressed in a navy blue dark pattern brocade robe, which made him even more handsome. With a clear facial contour, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his deep eyes revealing a hint of fortitude, this cheerful big boy with a bright smile that Chishui saw for the first time has begun to mature.

Qi Jun smiled, pointed his finger at the center of his eyebrows, Chi Shui looked over, only to find that there was a sickle-like pale cyan pattern in the center of his eyebrows, about the size of a little finger, the outline of the pattern was clear, and there was a little blue light on the edge, as if there was a strong aura to erupt.

Chi Shui was suddenly taken aback, "Contract Beast? "And it's a blood pact!

You must know that an immortal cultivator can only conclude a blood contract with one demon beast in his life, that is, the blood contract can only be concluded once.

Hearing Chi Shui's call, Qin Yu and Qin Xiang also looked over, although they had already seen that pattern, but they hadn't seen what Qi Jun's contract beast was like? It's all curious.

Blood Pact? What kind of demon beast can actually make Qi Jun use up the only blood contract in his life.

Qi Jun met everyone's gaze, smiled slightly, raised the index finger of his right hand to the center of his eyebrows, and exclaimed, "Gujia Beast." ”

Suddenly, the pattern on his forehead was full of blue light, and a strong aura shot out from it, stopping in mid-air, the aura blue light was shining, dazzling and dazzling, but it was only for a moment, and after the dazzling, the blue light began to gradually disappear, and the figure of the demon beast began to appear until it was completely clear.

Chi Shui saw that the demon beast resembled a human, quite short, only less than half of her height, the skin of the whole body was dark blue, wrapped in a short-sleeved dress of the same color, the aura on the clothes fluctuated, and the cumbersome and mysterious lines like thorn vines appeared and disappeared from time to time, and the agility was abnormal, and the feet stepped on cloth shoes of the same color, and there was also a trace of aura entanglement. Its head moved slightly, and it wore a ring on its pointed ear on its right side, which shook slightly. There is no hair on his head, and his face looks like a human, but his eyes are like copper bells, and there is a slight hideous expression on his face.

The most striking thing is that it holds a scythe in its hand, which is also dark cyan, exactly the same pattern as the pattern on Qi Jun's forehead, but the handle of this scythe is longer, about one person high, and it looks like a three-year-old child holding a big flag that only adults can carry, strange and abrupt.

The scythe hung high above its head because of its handle, and the surface of the knife was engraved with the same mysterious lines as on the clothes, and the blade was as thin as a filament, and a cold light flashed by, refreshing the heart.

Its appearance completely shocked Chishui and others. It was the first time they had seen a demon beast, but even so, they all knew that this demon beast was definitely not an ordinary demon beast, that aura, that demeanor, although they didn't know what its magical powers were, but it was so human-like, it could be seen that it was extraordinary.

I saw it stop in the air, looking up and down, left and right, slightly puzzled, but immediately became expressionless again, holding the sickle in its hand and stomping down as if it was on the ground, turning into a stream of blue light, and instantly submerged into Qi Jun's eyebrows.

Qi Jun smiled at everyone helplessly and explained, "It saw that there was no fight, so it went back." ”

Chishui and the others were stunned, and after a long time, they reacted.

Everyone was envious, and Chi Shui was even more curious, and asked, "Brother Qi, how did you accept it?" ”

Qi Jun raised his head and pointed in one direction, "It's not far ahead, when I met it, it was advancing, and most of its ability was sealed, I fought with it and finally surrendered it." ”

Although Qi Jun said it lightly, Chi Shui and the others knew that Qi Jun must have gone through a life-threatening and arduous fight.

"This is where it found, too." Qi Jun touched his forehead with his hand again, "It will take a month for this pattern to disappear after it is completely in line with me, isn't it weird now?" ”

"No, it's special." Qin Xiang was the first to react, shook his head and said, Chi Shui and Qin Yu also nodded in agreement.

"That's good." He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, took the firewood placed next to him, piled it in the center, lit it with a fireball technique, and then shouted: "Start and start, I'll wait to eat." ”

Hearing this, Chi Shui began to take out various seasoning jars from the storage bag, then took out a wire rack and put it on top of Chai He, and took out some animal meat suitable for barbecue that she had bought at the market before she came, and began to put it on the shelf and roast it intently.

Qin Yu and Qin Xiang listened to Qi Jun talk about his experience on the mission and some interesting things he encountered. The autumn breeze blew gently, taking away their hearty laughter and a scene of harmony.

Chi Shui was busy listening to them, and after a while, she saw the slightest fragrance coming, which made their eyes draw on the shelf again and again, and she was even more happy to see it.

After it was baked, Chi Shui distributed it to everyone, took a skewer and sat down to enjoy the food.

Then, she grilled the fish again, and finally, put some of the wild vegetables that Qin Yu found back on the shelf, and her work today was over.

"By the way, you know what? The once every ten years Qi refining period disciple sect competition is about to start, before that, there will be a small competition in our Qianyun Sect, and you can sign up immediately. Qi Jun first gobbled it up, and only after his stomach was a little bottom did he remember this matter and said to them.

"Xiaobi? Is it an in-door competition that will be held every autumn in the door? Qin Yu turned his head, looked at Qi Jun, and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's all the same competition, but if the disciples of the Qi refining period can win the top ten in the door in the competition, in addition to the door will be rewarded with an upper-level magic weapon, they will also participate in the sect competition of the three sects and three sects in three months." Speaking of this, Qi Jun paused, then looked at Qin Yu and the others, and asked, "Do you know why the sect competition is held?" ”

"Why?" Chishui was the most curious, and asked first, could it be that there was any inside information?

"Because of this big competition, it will determine the number of places for the three sects and three sects to enter the Yellow Order Secret Realm in two years." After Qi Jun finished speaking, he stuffed a piece of roasted mushroom into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Yellow Order Secret Realm?" Qin Yu frowned and thought for a while, he had never heard of it, and he was not impressed. Qin Xiang also looked at Qi Jun with a curious expression. And Chi Shui remembered that when she went to Tiancai Pavilion, the old man of Tianji mentioned by her seniors, the piece of bamboo she got was found by him in the ground-level secret realm, a ground-level secret realm, a yellow-level secret realm, could it be that there is something to do between the two?

"The Yellow Order Secret Realm is located in the southernmost Grand Canyon between the Exorcism Sect and the Blue Soul Sect. In the future, you will also hear about the Xuan-level Secret Realm, the Earth-level Secret Realm, and the Heaven Rank Secret Realm, a total of four secret realms. Qi Jun disposed of the mushrooms in his hand and began to explain to them, "These four secret realms are all at the end of the ancient period, and the ancient monks saw that the spiritual energy in this realm was getting thinner and thinner, and many spiritual grasses were growing slowly. They were worried that it would be more and more difficult for future monks to find the spirit grass that met the age to make advanced elixirs, and they were afraid that it would be more and more difficult to advance, so they gathered the four secret realms established by many monks together, and moved the spirit herbs needed for the advanced elixir of the monks into each of them. These four secret realms will absorb a part of the spiritual energy from the outside, so that the spiritual grass in the secret realm can grow rapidly. And there are powerful prohibitions outside the secret realm, which can not be opened in normal times, only when it reaches a certain number of years, its prohibition will have a period of weakness, at that time, if you want to enter the secret realm of the yellow order, you must be in the weakest place of its prohibition, ten Yuanying monks join forces, you can break through the prohibition and send people into the secret realm, but once it is opened, you can only send sixty people in. And the Heavenly Rank Secret Realm, the Earth Rank Secret Realm, and the Xuan Rank Secret Realm, you must get a special jade talisman to enter, and you will slowly understand it in the future. ”

Qi Jun paused, took out the water hyacinth and took a big sip before continuing: "This Yellow Order Secret Realm is only accessible to disciples in the Qi Refining Period, and there are all kinds of spirit grasses that are needed to refine the Zhuji Dan growing in it, of course, there are also some other spirit grasses that are relatively rare, if you are lucky, you may be able to get the ancient treasures, law decisions and other items left by the ancient monks." ”

He smiled when he said this, "Of course, with such benefits, it must also be accompanied by high risks, the rarer those spirit grasses, the more powerful the demon beasts will guard, but it is not so easy to get." And those ancient treasures, law decisions and other items, for tens of thousands of years, there have been many monks who have entered, and there are very few who can gain, there are not only traps and fierce formations set by ancient monks, but also have to face the robbery of other sect disciples who enter at the same time. ”

He stared at Qin Yu and Qin Xiang, and said: "If you can get the top ten in the small competition in the door this time, you will get a high-level magic weapon, if you get the top ten in the big competition of the sect in three months, then the door will reward a foundation building pill, then it will be much easier for you to build the foundation in the future." After speaking, he turned his gaze to Chishui again, and said jokingly: "Little sister, you are only at the seventh level of the Qi refining period, don't think about it." ”

When Chishui heard this, he was immediately depressed.

After listening to it for a long time, it turned out that it was none of her business! Without such discrimination against the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period, he had no choice but to grab a string of mountain treasures similar to fungus, take a bite hard, and take the opportunity to vent his anger.

Everyone was silent for a while, concentrating on solving the remaining mountain treasures.

When everyone is full of food and drink, leisurely spread on the pebbles, the golden sun shines on the earth, sprinkled on them, and the warm autumn breeze gently blows, bringing a trace of coolness, how to live comfortable and comfortable.

It wasn't until the sun set and dyed the clouds red that Qin Yu and the other three reluctantly bid farewell to Qi Jun and returned to Qianyunmen together.

On the way back to the door, Chishui asked Qin Yu and Qin Xiang, "Have you decided to participate in the small competition in the door?" ”

They both nodded at the same time, but their faces were a little solemn.

Chi Shui thought about it, too, they had all reached the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and the temptation of Zhuji Dan to them was definitely very strong. It's just that the stronger the temptation, the more fierce the competition will be, and even if you compete with each other, you may be injured or even killed.

Although there doesn't seem to be anything to do with her now, Qin Yu and Qin Xiang are her best friends now, and she also wants to be able to help them, maybe, she can go back and see if there is any magic circle she can refine?
