"Old thief, can you do it?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, wait for the old man to think again. ”

In a cave in the mountain behind the Nanjian Gate, Li Shouyi stared at the old madman who was giving Chu Xuan a pulse with a complicated expression.

This old thief, under the guise of opening the spiritual vein for Chu Xuan, had already taken away no less than ten high-grade elixirs from his hands, but Chu Xuan's spiritual vein had not yet been opened. Li Shouyi couldn't help but wonder if he was deliberately tricking himself.

The cave was the ashram of the old madman, and he usually practiced here. Opening the spiritual vein for Chu Xuan this time is not a trivial matter, if it is not good, it will alarm some old monsters with deep cultivation, for the sake of safety, the old madman specially placed Chu Xuan in his dojo, and there is an enchantment around the dojo that he has spent decades of work setting up.

"Phew, I'm tired old man!" the old madman was sweating profusely and panting.

"How, it worked?" asked Li Shouyi excitedly.

The old madman shook his head.

Li Shouyi was furious and was about to have a seizure right away. This old thief not only wasted so many treasures of himself, but also wasted so much of his time!

"Eh, junior brother, listen to my explanation!" The old madman was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "You don't know, this kid's physique is really special. Ordinary people open their veins, and most of them find a person who has cultivated to be advanced, and inject a large amount of spiritual power into the spiritual veins around them, so as to stimulate the awakening of their spiritual veins. But this kid, I really can't find where his spiritual veins are. ”

"Then you opened your mouth to my lion before and asked for so many elixirs, obviously you cheated?"

Li Shouyi said, waved his long sleeves, and a floating dust appeared in his hand, which was his weapon.

"Seventh Senior Brother, if you have something to say...... Okay, okay, I can't pay you for those ten elixirs?" the old madman immediately softened.

To be honest, if the two of them really make a move, I'm afraid that Li Shouyi will suffer a little. It's just that for some reason, the old madman once promised his master that he would never do anything with the seventh junior brother again in this life.

Seeing that Li Shouyi's mood had stabilized, the old madman said slowly: "Senior brother, didn't the master leave you a copy of the "Illustrated Guide to Spiritual Objects" before he died, you check to see if there are any heavenly treasures that open up the hidden veins." ”

Li Shouyi asked strangely: "Old thief, don't you have a hidden vein yourself? How did you get through, then how did you get through to Chu Kid, how could you be so troublesome?"

The old madman said, "You don't understand this." The old man was the first to open up the real vein, and then the spiritual sea gradually expanded, and the spiritual power began to be abundant, and then he felt the hidden vein on his body. Then, with the help of the existing spiritual power, I gradually opened the hidden pulse. In other words, the old man's hidden vein was opened last. And this kid is different, as soon as he comes, he has to open up the hidden vein, and the old man doesn't know where to start. ”

Li Shouyi made up his mind, no longer said more, and with a wave of his long sleeves, a book that emitted a pale cyan light appeared in his hand, and this book was the "Illustrated Guide to Spiritual Objects".

"The old man remembers that there is indeed a superb elixir that can open the hidden vein. Li Shou said in a low voice while flipping through them.

The various elixir spirit stones recorded in the "Illustrated Guide to Spiritual Objects" are as many as one million, and each medicinal stone is subdivided into one to nine products, and the medicinal properties of different types of elixirs are very different.

Although Li Shouyi had been studying this book for decades, there were still many things that he could not remember clearly, such as those spiritual objects that could open hidden veins.

"There is! The snow-capped mountains in the extreme north of the Southern Yuan Dynasty have a wonderful medicine that can pass through the hidden veins, and the name is 'Jade Frost Green Bamboo'. Also, the ancient ruins on Xuanhuang Mountain, there is a wonderful medicine that can pass through the hidden veins, and the name is 'Baihengcao'. At the bottom of the Northern and Eastern Yuan Dynasty, there is a strange stone that can pass through the hidden veins, called 'blood crystal'. Li Shouyi said excitedly.

When the old madman heard this, not only did he not get the slightest excitement, but gasped. Not to mention that these things are priceless and extremely valuable, just looking at where they are, it is enough to make an old madman's head bigger.

"The Snow Mountain of the Extreme North of the Southern Yuan Dynasty, the Southern Yuan Continent is so big, how northern is the Extreme North, can you be more specific?" the old madman couldn't help but ask.

Except for Yushuang Qingzhu, the other two things are ready to give up. Bai Heng grass grows in the ancient ruins of Xuanhuang Mountain, and nine out of ten people in that place will die, and the old madman doesn't want to take the risk. As for the blood crystal, the old madman couldn't even think about it, because the two continents of Northern Yuan and Eastern Yuan were too far away from here.

Li Shouyi replied: "There is no explicit statement in this book, the book only says that where the jade frost and green bamboo are located, there must be strange beasts that guard the elixir. As for what kind of strange beast it is, the old man doesn't know. ”

The old madman stamped his foot and cursed:

"What kind of bullshit is this? That's it, for the sake of this stinky boy, the old man will go on a trip himself!"

The old madman was quick to talk, and before he could say that, the person disappeared into the cave, as if he had disappeared out of thin air in Chu Xuan's eyes.

"Old man, the old madman is gone?" Chu Xuan asked in disbelief.

Li Shouyi led him out of the cave and chuckled: "What's this, if you can open the spiritual vein, the old madman will only be your enemy in the future." ”

"By the way, Chu boy, you have already worshiped me as a teacher, so call me master in the future. Li Shouyi suddenly reminded.

"Yes, Master. So what should I call the old madman grandfather?" Chu Xuan asked again.

"Call him the old thief. ”

I don't know if Li Shouyi's words are serious.

...

The old madman had been gone for a few months without any news, during which Li Shouyi carefully introduced all kinds of knowledge about cultivation to Chu Xuan.

The cultivation of the human race is divided into three stages: the foundation building stage, the tribulation stage, and the transformation stage, and each stage is divided into three realms. The foundation building stage is said: the earth spirit realm, the human spirit realm, and the heavenly spirit realm. The stage of the tribulation is said: Earth Yuan Realm, Human Yuan Realm, and Tian Yuan Realm. The stage of transformation is said: the earth realm, the human realm, and the heavenly realm; and then subdivided, each major realm can also be divided into three small realms, with the name of small, medium and large. For example, the earth spirit realm is divided into small earth spirit realm, medium earth spirit realm, and earth spirit realm.

As for what realm there is after the transformation stage, this is what Li Shouyi doesn't know. After all, his cultivation has always stopped at the Earth Yuan Realm, and he has not broken through for more than ten years. The realm of the old madman is slightly higher than him, and it is the cultivation of the villain's Yuan realm.

The cultivation of the human race, after reaching the Heavenly Spirit Realm, will start to cross the tribulation, it is not an easy task, if you don't get it right, you will die, such as Chu Xuan's father Chu Yan. Chu Yan died of heavenly punishment when he crossed from the Heavenly Spirit Realm to the Earth Yuan Realm.

Chu Xuan returned to live in Li Shouyi's thatched hut, and every day except for taking care of the medicine field, he followed Li Shouyi for physical training, learning martial arts and swordsmanship.

"Apprentice, you must remember that a qualified monk must undergo rigorous physical training and master superb fighting skills in order to gain the upper hand in duels with others. Sometimes you can even defeat enemies who are stronger than you through certain techniques and techniques. ”

Li Shouyi demonstrated how to punch and walk while admonishing Chu Xuan. His speed was very slow, in order to let Chu Xuan see clearly.

Chu Xuan learned well on the side, but he didn't understand the meaning of these actions at all. The two trained in the courtyard for more than an hour, and from early morning to noon, Chu Xuan gradually became a little physically exhausted.

"Master, I'm so tired, can we eat something first?" Chu Xuan was not only tired, but also a little hungry.

Li Shou glanced at him and said lightly: "It's really a hairy child, I can't stand this bit of suffering, go ahead, by the way, help the old man bring a meal, and I have to continue training after eating." ”

Chu Xuan nodded, picked up Li Shouyi's jade plate and ran to the dining hall. Li Shouyi is one of the six elders of Nanjianmen, and this jade plaque allows him to enjoy many special treatments in Nanjianmen, such as free meals in the dining hall, free borrowing in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, free access to Nanjianmen, and so on.

In the past few days since he came to Nanjianmen, Chu Xuan had been to the canteen several times. Although there were a lot of people in the canteen, everyone didn't know each other, and few people noticed the eleven-year-old Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan ordered two meals in the dining hall and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he saw a familiar figure - it was actually Liu Xuan.

"Eh, little brother, who are you, how do I feel like I've seen you somewhere?" Liu Xuan also saw Chu Xuan and asked strangely.

Chu Xuan was stunned and said, "I've seen you, your name is Liu Xuan." ”

"Yes, I remembered, you are Chu Xuan's brother!" Liu Xuan happily walked up to Chu Xuan, like a little yellow warbler, and began to ask this and that.

"Hey, why don't you come to play with me? Aren't you bored with Grandpa Seven? By the way, let me tell you a little secret, I successfully broke through to the human spirit realm yesterday!"

Chu Xuan's expression was like seeing a ghost, people, human spirit realm? The little girl in front of him, who was younger than himself and looked a little cute, was actually already a monk in the human spirit realm.

Liu Xuan was still chattering, but Chu Xuan couldn't listen to a word, at this moment, his heart was full of inferiority.

"Brother Chu Xuan, I'll go back first, and I'll have time to play with you. Liu Xuan said suddenly.

Chu Xuan remembered that she had said this last time.

He stood there in a daze, looking at her distant figure, his mood heavy and complicated.
