Chapter Forty-Nine: The Mysterious Old Man
The old man seemed to know that Zhou Qilang was peeping at him, but he didn't react, and he was still sorting out the books alone.
Zhou Qilang saw that the other party didn't care in the slightest, and the tension in his heart slowly eased, and he glanced at the huge scripture building a few times, he wanted to find a few books on the cultivation of divine consciousness by himself.
"Old man, are there any books on divine consciousness?" Zhou Qilang asked softly, he thought that the old man had been here for so long, he must know everything about this place and knew where every book was.
"The fourth three-row is on the far right. The old man said lightly, and his eyebrows were not raised.
Zhou Qilang walked over stupidly, and according to the position, he saw the book that the old man said at a glance.
However, it was obviously a yellowed and worn-out book, like a dog gnawing on it, and I couldn't even see the cover clearly.
Zhou Qilang picked up the broken book a little helplessly, dusted off the dust of the years on it, pinched his fingers and opened the cover, and there were two words in his eyes: divine sense!
"Damn, if you can cultivate your divine sense, then the books left by those gods will be alive and well. Zhou Qilang squinted his eyes and turned the first page, he really couldn't bear to pay attention, the first page was densely packed with words like earthworms crawling.
"Old man, are you sure it's this one?" Zhou Qilang asked with a raised voice, holding up the broken book.
But there was no one in the building at the moment, the old man had long since disappeared, and Zhou Qilang was the only one left.
Zhou Qilang glanced at it a few times, a little unbelievable, he didn't hear any movement.
Then, Zhou Qilang returned to his residence with the worn-out and miserable book and began to study it.
In the broken book, the explanations of divine consciousness were scribbled, most of which were found in scriptures and ancient books, and it was not until Zhou Qilang turned to the last three pages that he saw the trick of cultivation.
He looked at it carefully, and then sat cross-legged according to the method described in the book, mobilized the dantian aura, and constantly discharged the aura.
Then, he endured the burden of his body and began to force the divine consciousness embryo in his mind, constantly awakening it with his own subconscious, but no matter how he called, the little humanoid divine consciousness embryo just didn't have any reaction.
After such repeated attempts, Zhou Qilang collapsed, sweated profusely, and broke away from the meditative state with a muffled sigh, trembling all over, and the aura of heaven and earth poured into his body like a wave.
At that moment, it was like the dry earth encountering rain and dew, Zhou Qilang's body was comfortable, and his body was full of aura, replenishing the aura that had just dispersed.
"Hey, is it really so difficult to cultivate the divine sense?" Zhou Qilang asked himself, looking at the worn-out book, he didn't know how to choose, whether to continue walking, or give up, and leave it for the breakthrough of Yuan Ying to cultivate in the future.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Qilang sighed, then got up, looked at the worn-out book, and said stupidly: "Since I have entered the treasure temple, how can I not take away the truth of the true scriptures, I will definitely go on with the cultivation of divine consciousness! This will become a big killer on my road to revenge!"
After a few days, Zhou Qilang competed with the four strange brothers from time to time, among these people, Da Fei was the most powerful, he was already a monk in the eighth-layer realm of condensation, his real name was Luo Poor, and he came from the Qingyue Kingdom on the border.
Because he has the blood of the Qingyue Divine Venerable in his body, it is said that the Qingyue Kingdom is a certain Heavenly Divine Venerable tens of thousands of years ago, and the remnants of the Dao system slowly evolved into a kingdom.
It is rumored that on the day when he ascended to the divine realm in the broken void and proved the throne of the gods, he once killed three demon kings who invaded the human world with human power, and protected the human world for thousands of years!
That battle was also dark, the sun and the moon were dark, the blood of the gods was splashed, and the demon king fell!
But tens of thousands of years have passed, and the Qingyue Kingdom no longer seems to be protected by that god, and its national strength is gradually declining.
And Luo Poor, as the descendant of the Qingyue Divine Venerable, naturally has the blood of the gods in his body, and when the battle of life and death occurs, there will be the Qingyue Divine Radiance to come, giving infinite combat power, which is also the reason why no one in the Qingyue Kingdom has dared to destroy the country so far.
Fighting with a group of countries that have the blood of the Qingyue Divine Venerable and have divine power until the death is really asking for trouble.
Every time he fought, Zhou Qilang could feel the vast divine power that was dormant from Luo Qiang's body, although he couldn't take the initiative to catalyze, but that majestic divine power was circulating and sleeping in his body from beginning to end.
Similarly, Zhou Qilang also gained many benefits, fighting with such a strong and experienced person, he constantly absorbed a lot of experience and skills, so that his fighting skills were more flexible and simpler.
The world's martial arts are fast and unbreakable!
Eliminate cumbersome moves, only need one move to defeat the enemy!
This is what Luo Qian taught Zhou Qilang, the two sides are fighting, as long as they knock each other down, they don't need too many moves, it's best to defeat the enemy with one blow!
In the past few days, Zhou Qilang has completely put aside the idea of cultivating his divine sense, immersed himself in the competition, and the whole person's combat experience has become richer and richer, and his personality has also changed a lot, with more calmness and less lightness.
His eyes are becoming more and more exquisite, his eyes are vicious, he used to be unable to accept Luo Qiao's three moves every time, but now he can resist ten moves, thirty moves, fifty moves, and now he is undefeated in a hundred moves!
Luo Qiang was also amazed by Zhou Qilang's comprehension ability, it was really a heavenly posture, with the sixth-layer realm of condensation, he actually walked through a hundred moves under his eighth-layer realm without defeat!
"Seventh brother, you are getting more and more powerful, and you can not lose to me in the sixth-layer realm. Luo Qian withdrew his hand and looked at Zhou Qilang, who was panting on the other side, who was sweating profusely, his aura collapsed, and he was paralyzed on the ground.
"Phew, Brother Fei, I feel like I'm a little bit off. Zhou Qilang lay on his back on the ground, looking at the undulating clouds in the sky, and there was a hint of enlightenment.
"That's right, let the others go, there are not many people who can walk through ten moves in my hands, you are now a hundred moves without defeat, enough to be proud of the entire imperial city!" Luo Qian walked over, sat beside Zhou Qilang, and looked into the distance.
"Hehe, Brother Fei, are you serious, can I really overpower the four young heads of the Imperial City now?" Zhou Qilang suddenly turned over from the ground, squinted his eyes and smiled.
"What, you kid wouldn't be fighting the idea of the four young men in the imperial city, right?" Luo Qian was stunned, looking at that innocent face, he always felt that something was hidden.
"Hehe, I've long heard how powerful the four young people in the Imperial City are, I really want to try it and see the progress in the past few days. Zhou Qilang's heart was itching.
He had already inquired about it, there were four famous young masters in the Imperial City of Zhao Kingdom, with profound strength, invincible opponents among their peers, and they were a generation of wizards who steadily suppressed the imperial city, known as the "Four Young Masters of the Imperial City".
"I can tell you, don't make trouble, even if you are beautiful now, like a fish in water, but those people are all relatives of the emperor and the country, and they are strong, and we can't provoke them. Luo Qiang warned, for fear that this sometimes clever seventh brother would really cause trouble.
"Well, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people. Zhou Qilang was so engrossed that he put aside the idea of challenging the four young men of the imperial city for the time being.
After a few days, Zhou Qilang was bored, so he specially asked for a holy decree and prepared to go out of the palace for a walk, and it was really boring to be bored in the palace all day.
Before leaving, the senior of the West Poison and the old woman of the East Evil also gave him some tasks to help them buy some things. By the way, he also called Luo Qiang and the four ghosts, and the three of them went out of the palace.
On the street, the crowd of people coming and going, the street vendors are constantly selling, and the shops are lined with all kinds of objects, so it is not lively, and it is filled with the most lively atmosphere.
The attics, restaurants, and teahouses on both sides are constantly pedestrians, talking and laughing.
There are also those famous Caitoufang, Chunhualou, and Yihongyuan in Jinling City, and there is an endless stream of businessmen and nobles.
Zhou Qilang and the four ghosts looked around with great interest, feeling the unique life atmosphere of this Jinling City, while Luo Qiang was a commonplace and followed behind them.
It's no wonder that Zhou Qilang is like this, since beating him alone and carrying a deep hatred of blood, this is the first time he has gone shopping and seen so many people.
The three of them walked around for a while, and Zhou Qilang took the task to prepare to go to the nearby pharmacy to grab some medicinal materials needed by the predecessors of Western Poison, and then diverted to the spirit beast sales workshop to buy some small spirit beasts.
He had already inquired about it, there were three well-known pharmacies and two spirit beast dealers in Jinling City, all of which belonged to some imperial relatives of Zhao State, and the amount of money exchanged among them was more abundant than the treasury.
Lee's Pharmacy.
Their first stop was this Li's Pharmacy, there was a large flow of people, there were constantly nobles coming in and out, and there was also a vendor selling medicinal herbs, and with the smiling people entering the hall.
Zhou Qilang and the three of them stood at the door of Li's pharmacy, and when they boarded, two subordinates ran over with a smile, their eyebrows and pleasant faces, and they were a little inferior.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our Lee's Pharmacy, a century-old shop. ”
"Come, nobleman, please, please. ”
The two subordinates said a word, and pulled Zhou Qilang and the others into the pharmacy.
As soon as you enter the pharmacy, you will be greeted by the fragrance of herbs, which is quiet and expands the lungs, and has a strong spiritual charm. There are not many people inside, and according to the introduction of the next person, there are independent small attic rooms for nobles to choose medicinal materials or bid for purchase.
It was the first time that Zhou Qilang had heard that medicinal herbs could still be purchased by bidding, so he entered a room with a human font number and handed over the silver order, the silver coin of the currency of the Eastern Continent.
Then Zhou Qilang gave the list and handed it to the next person, asking them to prepare quickly.
The three of them sat in the house, drinking fine tea, sipping melon seeds, chatting, and they were not in a hurry.
But after a while, a subordinate hurried over.
"I'm sorry, nobleman, the flavor of the dragon grass you want, our store can't sell it for the time being, I hope you can replace it, or wait a few more days, when the store is ready, and then send someone to your house, how about it?"
The hook-nosed subordinate said cautiously, his thin eyes staring at the faces of the three people.
"Li's Pharmacy, there is no Earth Dragon Grass, are you looking for us to be happy?" The four ghosts immediately lost their temper, and their eyes were angry, because he was not happy when he saw the price of these medicinal materials, one Earth Dragon Grass was actually ten gold coins! Ten gold coins were enough for him to spend half a year!
"I'm sorry, nobleman, our store really doesn't have it for the time being, because in the past few days, it has rained heavily in Qiulong Mountain one after another, and there has been a mudslide, no medicine picker dares to collect, and it will take a few days for the mountain to get it for you." ”
The hook-nosed subordinate looked apologetic and nodded again.
"Then I saw someone send three Earth Dragon Grass upstairs just now. Luo Qiao's eyebrows were like lightning at the moment, and he saw through the subordinate at a glance.
"This ......" the hook-nosed subordinate couldn't explain it for a while, his eyes wandered, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.
He really didn't dare to offend the nobles who came to this Li Pharmacy casually, although he didn't know their identities, but it didn't seem to be too ordinary.
"Then I'll ask you again. The hook-nosed man retreated.
Inside the house, Zhou Qilang was sullen and looked at Luo Poor and the four ghosts.
"Brother Fei, did you really see that they have the Earth Dragon Grass?" Zhou Qilang asked with a frown.
"Well, the Earth Dragon Grass is not a particularly precious medicinal material, but it is not vulgar, it is pregnant with the spirit of the dragon spirit of heaven and earth, and it grows in the most dangerous peak and cliff of Qiulong Mountain, and the number is scarce. It is rumored that tens of thousands of years ago, the Eastern Divine Dragon loved a kind of spiritual object, but now the dragon spirit qi of the Earth Dragon Grass is not as sufficient as before. ”
Luo Qian explained, his eyes glowing.
"Who dares to buy Ben Gongzi's things?!"
There was a sharp shout, and then, with a bang, the wooden door of Zhou Qilang's house was kicked open!
A tall man walked in first, glanced at the room rather arrogantly, and then slowly stepped in behind him a young man.
The young man, handsome and feminine, shook a cyan feather fan, and looked at the three stunned people in the room with a cold sneer, dressed in a white brocade robe, with a piece of Chinese jade hanging from his waist, carved with a unicorn.
The chill on his face made the three people in the room shiver.
