At the beginning, Xi Xiao practiced the method of holding his breath and washing his pulse, and the poisons he took were all low-grade poisons that could be obtained at will by the dragon bloodline, while the middle-grade and upper-grade poisons needed to be exchanged for merit points regardless of birth.

The low-grade poison that he had carried before the expedition was exhausted in less than three years in the border area, and his cultivation was terminated for nearly twenty years.

Returning to the Dragon Palace this time, Xi Xiao planned to switch to the major cultivation of the Qi Closing Pulse Washing Technique, and complete a never-before-completed twelve cycles around the body.

"I want to exchange it for some medium-grade highly poisonous elixir. Xi Xiao directly explained the intention.

"Wait a minute.." The deacon sea dog glanced at the Xixiao waist card, and from a foot of space, he offered a piece of white marble half an inch thick, in the shape of two palm-sized squares. The front is smooth as a mirror, and a blue memory bead is engraved in the center of the back, which is used as a guide to carve a series of complicated runes.

I saw that the sea dog held the white marble with his left hand, and his middle finger was against the back of the ball, and his heart moved, and a trace of the essence of the sea passed into the bead through the tip of the middle finger, and then the blue light on the front of the white marble was masterful.

The sea dog stretched out his right index finger and crossed out the name of Xi Xiao on the front of the white marble, and a line of text appeared.

"Xixiao, the cumulative merit points are one hundred and ninety-four, the cumulative exchange points are zero, and the remaining merit points are one hundred and ninety-four. ”

The sea dog shook the white marble in front of Xi Xiao, and after Xi Xiao's jaw was confirmed, he took out a green book fold, turned to the page of poisons, and handed it over.

Xi Xiao took a look, and each medium-grade highly toxic elixir was introduced in detail, and the amount of each bottle and the merit points required for redemption were also specially indicated.

"Leaving the meteoric pill, break the dantian within an hour, turn away all the other party's cultivation, and at the same time erode the opponent's spirit, and the serious person loses the ability to think, one bottle and one piece, twenty merit points. ”

"Devouring blood and burning pulse water, burning the essence and blood in the opponent's body within half an hour, and then the tendons and veins were broken, and he died violently, one bottle of money, thirty merit points. ”

Xi Xiao looked at the introduction of the medium-grade poison, and his scalp was a little numb.

"Will it be self-defeating?" Xi Xiao felt a little drumming in his heart.

"But those who have achieved fame have the courage to fight for their lives, I can easily deal with the poison of the next grade, why be afraid of this middle grade?!" After a snap of his fingers, Xi Xiao felt ashamed of his hesitation.

"This... And this .." Xi Xiao picks the most lethal medium-grade poison.

"Good. A different color flashed in the eyes of the sea dog, but he didn't ask, and wrote the things that Xi Xiao said into the white marble one by one.

Then he turned around and entered the cabinet, and after a stick of incense, he put the poison and the corresponding antidote that Xi Xiao said in a dark red tray and presented it.

After Xi Xiao confirmed that it was correct one by one, his mind moved, and he included it all in the space bag.

The deacon handed over the white marble, "Please press your handprint to confirm." ”

Xi Xiao glanced at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he stretched out his right thumb and pressed it lightly on the white marble.

A white light flashed in the dark place of Xi Xiao, and then a line of font flickered.

"Xixiao, the cumulative merit points are one hundred and ninety-four, the cumulative exchange points are one hundred and eighty-eight points, and the remaining merit points are six points. ”

Back in the courtyard, Xi Xiao took the antidote to the old butler, instructed him to wait aside, and then took out the blood-devouring vein water, took out a drop of head and swallowed it, transported the essence of the sea in the dantian, compressed it into the size of a walnut and began a large circulation around the body.

After a stick of incense, the blood in Xi Xiao's body began to boil, and a feeling of dryness spread throughout his body, and inexplicable irritability began to spread.

"Not good!" The essence of the ball nucleus went from the dantian to the Tiantu acupoint, and the circulation around the body was only one-tenth, and Xi Xiao clearly felt the silk essence blood atomized, oozing out from the blood vessels, and leaking through the meridians.

"Get up!" In a hurry, Xi Xiao let out a low sigh, the five-colored pupils in his eyes lit up, and he kept scanning back and forth in his body frantically, and wherever he passed, the essence and blood seemed to be extremely jealous, and they retracted back into the blood vessels.

"Sure enough, I guessed correctly, the five-colored pupil can suck the blood of the ancient essence, and it can have a deterrent effect. Xi Xiao was relieved, and while using his divine consciousness to suppress the essence and blood in his body, he also carried his mind to continue to practice the method of closing his breath and washing his pulse.

Half a day later, after completing the four cycles of the body, the toxicity of the blood-devouring pulse water was completely decomposed and dissipated, the sweat soaked the clothes, there was not too much pain, and Xi Xiao only felt weak all over his body.

"I can't achieve the effect I want at all!" Xi Xiao ignited a fighting spirit in his heart, reached out and picked up the porcelain bottle containing the blood-devouring vein water, and raised his head to drink ten drops at a time!

The poisonous water entered the body, and as soon as it touched the throat, it directly drilled into the carotid artery, like a red-hot soldering iron falling into the bucket, and with a bang, the blood at the carotid artery boiled completely.

"Ahh Xi Xiao couldn't help but snort, his head buzzed, as if he had been hit by a hammer, and his heart couldn't help but stop for a moment.

His face was extremely distorted, his teeth were clenched, his fists were clenched, his green muscles were bursting up, his whole body was trembling, he tried his best to stabilize his mind, and mobilized his five-colored pupils to shoot out a colorful glow, forcibly suppressing the essence and blood mist that gushed out of the carotid artery crazily.

The poisonous water did not stop for a moment, surging into the heart along the blood vessels, and then flowing out of the heart, swimming towards the five organs and six lungs, the speed was not fast, but everywhere it passed, there were bursts of blood mist.

Xi Xiao didn't dare to slack off, mobilized the colorful glow to follow the poisonous water closely, and at the same time forcibly urged the essence ball core to launch the fifth circumferential circulation.

The severe pain caused by the poisonous water entering the body to Xi Xiao was reflected to the body through the brain nerves, making his whole person's muscles and veins in an extremely tight state.

At this time, it is an excellent time to wash the marrow and cut the veins, and forcibly break through the narrow passage of the tendons and veins through the essence ball nucleus, so as to continuously temper its toughness and cultivate a tenacious and unhurried physique.

After a stick of incense, Xi Xiao's sweat rained down, his face was pale, and his body began to tremble from side to side while sitting cross-legged.

After another cup of tea, the poisonous water has been decomposed by more than half, and the fifth great cycle of Xixiao has reached Yongquan Cave, and the three-color glow has begun to dim.

"It's a shame!" Xi Xiao hurriedly urged his divine sense, but the effect was very small, and the tricolor glow regained a flick of his fingers, and then quickly dimmed again.

Half a minute later, Xi Xiao's divine sense was exhausted, the three-color glow dissipated, the three-color pupils also became completely gray, and there was still a quarter of the poisonous water left, and the burning silk essence and blood mist began to drift away from the body.

Pressing the churning qi and blood in his chest, Xi Xiao continued to grit his teeth and insist, using the last trace of his mind to urge the Jingyuan Ball Core to break through the pass and move forward.

It's a pity that he only lasted for a few breaths, only to hear a muffled snort, his mind was exhausted, a red blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and then he fell backwards and fell into a dream.

"The prince .. Prince.." A hurried call rang out, and then gradually subsided.

Xi Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and vaguely saw the butler standing in front of him, looking at him indifferently.

"The prince .. Prince.." Xi Xiao listened to it very clearly, his consciousness and mind resumed at the same time, and the picture in front of him gradually became clearer.

I saw the butler kneeling beside him, with a look of worry and horror.

"It's a dereliction of duty to fail to deliver the antidote in time when the prince is unconscious. Seeing the prince wake up slowly, the old butler said with a dejected face.

"I have been in a shallow sea in a heavy realm, life span is only a thousand years, now more than 800 years old, in recent years, my body has deteriorated, often listless, when the prince is cultivating, I will be tired, accidentally took a nap, and actually fell asleep for more than a day.." The old butler hurriedly explained.

Xi Xiao looked at the old housekeeper's eyes red, his whole body trembled, his consciousness moved, and he found that there was indeed a cool and warm qi in his body, and he thought that it must be the antidote to the poisonous water.

However, as the old housekeeper said, this antidote came too late, there is no difference between having it and not, the poisonous water has already been forcibly decomposed by the body, but the price paid is that the essence and blood in Xi Xiao's body have been burned away at least three times out of ten.

"No hindrance, no hindrance.." The pale Xi Xiao barely managed to squeeze out a smile and slowly sat up.

"Old housekeeper, I'm tired of going to the pill hall on my behalf, asking for the first holy hand, and asking for some pills to restore qi and blood. Xi Xiao felt that it was difficult to speak.

"Good. The old butler got up and disappeared from Xixiao's field of vision in a blink of an eye.

"Too much rush for quick success will outweigh the gains. Xi Xiao felt a pain all over his body, and his head was still groggy and aching.

Half an hour later, the old butler hurried back with a happy face.

"Prince, I was still beating a drum in my heart on the way there, and the First Holy Hand may not be willing to see me. As he spoke, the old butler took out three small blue porcelain vases from his bosom.

Who knew that he heard that it was you who asked for medicine, and without saying a word, he took out this high-grade healing elixir, and instructed him to take it in the morning, noon and evening, one in each bottle, three bottles mixed, and it could be recovered in half a month. ”

Xi Xiao took it, poured out one from each bottle, swallowed three at the same time, after a stick of incense, the pill dissolved, and the slightest medicinal qi escaped towards the five organs, six lungs, limbs and hundreds of remains, warming Xi Xiao's entire body.

Then Xixiao's blood began to flow faster, and the temperature of his body also rose, and sweat came out of his body.

"Comfortable..."Xi Xiao closed his eyes and enjoyed it quietly.

"Huh?" Just as Xi Xiao was immersed, the tricolor suddenly opened his eyes and shot out a black beam of light, locking onto the maroon pill in his abdomen, and sucking out wisps of crimson thin threads like a cocoon, absorbing them all.

"This maroon pill must contain ancient essence blood. ”

"I don't know if the three-colored pupils will drink enough essence and blood, and will give birth to other changes. Xi Xiao had some expectations.

The pill given by the Holy Hand was really extraordinary, and in twenty days, Xi Xiao's body would have recovered as before, if it weren't for the fact that nearly half of the maroon pill was absorbed by the three-color pupil, it would have been cured in fifteen days.

During the healing period, Xi Xiao turned to practice the Nayuan technique, and with the blessing of the three-color pupil that absorbed the medicinal properties, the cultivation speed can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, and in more than 20 days, the essence of the sea absorbed by the dantian increased from more than 54,000 to more than 59,000, and he was about to enter the sixfold realm.

During the period, someone from the Dan Medicine Pavilion came and sent the Douzhuan Life Continuation Pill personally refined by the owner of the hall, as for a sealed light gray jade bottle, Xi Xiao was worried that the medicinal properties would disappear after unsealing, so he suppressed his curiosity to see it and included it in the space bag.

On the day of the competition agreed with the honorable award, Xi Xiao came to the Dragon Palace martial arts training ground early, and when noon was approaching, a black-clothed honorable man appeared.
