On this day, Li Shouyi was teaching Chu Xuan's swordsmanship in the courtyard, when he suddenly saw a black shadow appear in front of the door, it was the old madman who had returned.

"Old thief, how is it? Did you find Yushuang Qingzhu?" After seeing the person who came, Li Shouyi immediately asked excitedly.

The old madman looked a little embarrassed, limped towards the two, suddenly spat blood, and said in a dry voice: "I brought things back, but the old man needs to recuperate a little before he can open the pulse of this kid." ”

"What's the matter? You were beaten?" Li Shouyi was secretly shocked, the old madman was only afraid that he was not lightly injured, and there were many blood stains on his body, which seemed to be caused by fighting with people.

"I'll tell you more about this later, and you should find a place to hide this treasure. This thing is extraordinary, don't let others feel its aura, or you will invite trouble. ”

The old madman said, took out a silk bag from his arms and handed it to Li Shouyi.

Li Shouyi took the silk bag, did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately took out a stone jar from the hut, opened the mouth of the altar, and carefully put the contents of the bag in it and sealed it. This jar is made of a special spirit stone, and anything with aura is put into it, and the aura will be blocked.

After doing this, Li Shouyi was still not at ease, so he asked Chu Xuan to dig a pit by the side of the medicine field, put the jar into the pit and bury it.

The old madman on the side breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them hiding their things, and then fainted.

The old madman was in a coma for three days, during which Chu Xuan was taking care of him. In order to heal him, Li Shouyi reluctantly took out a few high-grade elixirs in the medicine field that he was reluctant to use, and let Chu Xuan fry them into soup and feed him to take them.

Although Li Shouyi is addicted to medicine, he will never be stingy when he should be generous. With the help of these elixirs, the old madman finally woke up.

"Quick, quickly take out that jade frost green bamboo and take it to the dojo in the mountain behind the old man!

The first thing the old madman said when he woke up was to ask Li Shouyi and Chu Xuan to take Yushuang Qingzhu to his cave, and he wanted to give Chu Xuan a pulse immediately.

It turns out that the elixir of Jade Frost Green Bamboo is very strange, and as long as this thing is out of the place where it grows, it will gradually decay until it disappears completely. Eight or nine days have passed since the old madman got this thing, and if this thing is corrupted, then he will suffer in vain this trip.

The three of them dug out the jar and immediately came to the cave in the back mountain.

The old madman couldn't wait to open the jar, and fortunately, although most of the jade frost green bamboo had rotted, there was still a section of about three inches of medicinal root left.

"Seventh Senior Brother, I'll give Chu Kid a pulse, and you go outside to protect the Dharma for me!" the old madman commanded.

Li Shouyi knew that his cultivation was not as deep as that of the old madman, and he was not as sure as the old madman about the matter of starting the pulse, so he didn't plan to start the pulse for Chu Xuan from the beginning. However, he still reminded: "Old thief, you are just recovering from your injuries, if your spiritual power is weak, let me know, and the old man is outside the cave." ”

"Don't worry, I know what I know!" said the old madman confidently.

According to the record of the "Illustrated Guide to Spiritual Objects", the jade frost green bamboo must be added to the high-grade spirit stone, put it in the Ding furnace to refine into a pulp, and then apply the slurry to the body of the hidden vein. After that, the person who opened the vein had to keep transmitting his spiritual power to the body of the person with the hidden vein until the other party's vein was activated. This process must not be interrupted, otherwise the Hidden Vein will forever lose the opportunity to initiate the Vein.

...

Li Shouyi vigilantly stood outside the dojo, patrolling around from time to time, for fear that something would happen.

After a while, there was a sudden strong wind around the ashram, and many trees were blown away.

Li Shouyi looked up, only to see that the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, faintly accompanied by the sound of dragons and tigers, and the sky was extremely dark, as if the whole world had come to an end.

Li Shouyi was secretly shocked, this must be caused by the old madman opening Chu Xuan's pulse, this Chu kid is really not an ordinary person, just opening the pulse, and he actually attracted such a vision.

The vision lasted for five hours before it disappeared. Li Shouyi guessed that the matter of Qi Mai should be almost over, so he immediately returned to the cave.

Chu Xuan's hidden vein has indeed been opened by the old madman, but only one has been opened. But just like that, the old madman was so tired that he collapsed to the ground and fainted again.

Looking at the old madman who was tired and fell to the ground, Li Shouyi's mood was a little complicated, it seemed that the treasures in his medicine field could not be saved.

Chu Xuan was full of energy at this time, and after the spiritual veins were opened, he felt that his whole person had changed, and his previous inferiority complex was swept away.

"Master, I feel my hidden veins!" Chu Xuan excitedly greeted Li Shou.

Li Shouyi was also happy for him, and said: "Apprentice, don't look at the fact that you only have one hidden vein now, but you are already worth five or six real veins of ordinary people, and in time, your achievements will never be lower than anyone in this Southern Sword Sect." ”

Chu Xuan asked a little puzzled: "Master, then ordinary people open the real pulse, do they open all thirty-six veins at once, or do they open up one by one?"

Li Shouyi: "I don't know about others, the first time I opened the spiritual vein, I only opened six paths in total, but the remaining thirty-six paths were slowly opened in my cultivation later. ”

The two talked for a while, and Li Shouyi suddenly said, "The old thief is still on the ground, apprentice, you carry him to my yard." ”

Chu Xuan obeyed the order and bent down to lift the old madman up, but his strength was too small, and he couldn't lift it after several attempts. He is now at the beginning of the spiritual vein, and he has no cultivation.

"Forget it, then put him here first, you go back to the courtyard with the master to get a few elixirs, fry them into medicinal soup and feed him. Li Shou saw that Chu Xuan couldn't lift it, so he said.

The two carried the old madman to the couch in his cave, and then went to Li Shouyi's small courtyard to get the medicine, and tossed for a long time before they got the old madman's decoction.

The old madman was so tired, from finding the Jade Frost Qingzhu for Chu Xuan to opening the spiritual veins for Chu Xuan, the spiritual power on his body was almost used. He was in a coma for nearly half a month this time, and Li Shouyi didn't know how much work it took and how much talent and earth treasures it took him to finally wake up.

During the period when the old madman was in a coma, Li Shouyi instructed Chu Xuan to carry out preliminary cultivation, and at the same time, he did not forget to supervise him to practice boxing and swordsmanship.

But when the old madman woke up, the first thing he did was complaining that Li Shouyi had robbed him of his job.

"Seventh Senior Brother, didn't we say okay? This apprentice is half of us, I am responsible for teaching him to practice, you raise resources for him, why are you doing my business now?"

Although the old madman has just recovered from his injuries, the whole person seems to be in great spirits.

When Li Shouyi heard this, he said angrily: "The old man hasn't settled accounts with you yet, but you are complaining about the old man." Let me ask you, from the time you decided to take Chu Boy as an apprentice until now, how many elixirs have you wasted on me, huh? Also, you said that you would compensate me for the spirit stones, where are the spirit stones? Why haven't I seen any of them?"

The old madman was speechless for a moment, and after a while, he said again: "Then I will compensate you for the spirit stone, and you will hand over the Chu boy to me for training." That's all right?"

Li Shouyi shook his head: "The old man has already thought about it carefully, the old thief, your previous proposal is really unfair, why do you teach the Fa but ask the old man to provide resources?

"Then what are you going to do? Could it be that we both teach him at the same time? Didn't I say, Seventh Senior Brother, the two of us don't use the same set of mental methods for cultivation. I haven't heard of it being practiced with two sets of mental methods at the same time. The old madman wondered.

Li Shouyi smiled and said: "It's very simple, from now on, you teach him the mental method, and I will teach him the formation method, the body method, and how to distinguish the medicine." ”

The old madman thought for a while and said, "That's why don't you do this, I'll teach him the mental method, the technique, and the alchemy." You teach him the formation, the body, and the medicine. Also, in terms of resources, you provide the elixir, and I provide the spirit stone. ”

"It's a deal. By the way, the spirit stone that I said earlier must be given to me. "Li Shou was afraid that the old madman would forget it.

The old madman was extremely depressed, waved his sleeves, turned out ten high-grade spirit stones from them, and threw them to Li Shouyi.

Chu Xuan stood aside, his heart full of gratitude. These two old men were so good to him, one saved his own life, and the other was almost beaten to death in order to give himself a pulse.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would get ahead in the future and repay the two masters for their reconstruction.
