The next day, the crisp crowing of the rooster in the village woke up the sleeping Chi Ling'er.

Chi Ling'er stroked her forehead, opened her sleepy eyes, and after a while, she became excited. She hurriedly checked her clothes and was relieved to find that they had not been replaced.

She remembered what had happened yesterday, so she lifted the futon and got up and pushed open the door. The dazzling sunlight shone down along the eaves tiles, which was particularly dazzling.

Luo Chen was chopping wood in the courtyard at the moment, and when he saw Chi Ling'er walking out of the house, he said, "You're awake." ”

Chi Ling'er felt that the dark injuries in her body had improved significantly, and secretly sighed at the wonder of reciting the Sutra, and couldn't help asking, "You cured me?"

"It's an old man, I only cultivated to the fourth layer after reciting the Derivative Sutra, your wounds are so deep, and there are still secret wounds in your body. I'm an ordinary man who doesn't have any real qi, how can I cure you. ”

"Yes. Chi Ling'er also felt that her brain was funny. It was the supreme power that injured himself, no matter how powerful he was in reciting the Sutra of Derivation, it would not be like this. Only that unfathomable old man could do it.

Luo Chen put down the axe, put the chopped firewood aside, clapped his hands, and said, "The old man said, when you wake up, I will take you over to see him." ”

Chi Ling'er and Luo Chen came to the hall, Chu Yun took a sip of wine gourd in his arms, and the smell of wine came to his nose, which made Luo Chen's expression shocked. He laughed and said, "Damn, old man, where are you going to scoop good wine, don't give me two sips." ”

Chu Yun blew his long white beard, his eyes were no longer cloudy, but full of essence. Ignoring Luo Chen, he went straight to Chi Ling'er and said, "How is it, the injury has healed?"

Chi Ling'er clasped her fists and thanked: "Thank you for the treatment of the seniors, the juniors are much better." ”

"Very well, sit down quickly. Stinky boy, you sit down too, the wine is indispensable to you. Chu Yun glared at Luo Chen, who wanted to snatch the wine gourd from his arms, and motioned for him to sit down.

Luo Chen was reluctant and sat on both sides of Chu Yun with Chi Ling'er.

"Your father Fei Yu has a lot of connections with me, and I have also instructed him in his cultivation, and he is also half a master. If you don't dislike it, just call me Grandpa Chu, how about it?"

"It is Ling'er's honor to be able to call you Grandpa Chu. When Chi Ling'er heard Chu Yun's words, her heart suddenly set off a storm, she stabilized her mind and asked, "You are good friends with your father, why have you never heard your father talk about it." ”

Chu Yun's expression was cold, as if he remembered something resentful, and said, "It's all because of the current emperor." If it weren't for this hypocrite, we, the followers of the young master, wouldn't have had to run away for many years and not recognize each other. ”

Chu Yun seemed to think of something, looked at Chi Ling'er, and said, "I have probed your injuries, and it seems to be related to him?"

Chi Ling'er's face also sank, clenched his fists, and said, "It was the palace master of the Martial Arts Palace under his command, the four major palaces of nylon who was injured. ”

"The Four Great Palaces?" Luo Chen scratched his head, as if he had discovered a new world. The old man had only instilled in him some scattered cultivation knowledge and realms since he was a child, and he had never told him about the outside world.

"The four palaces are the Moxu Palace, the Reward and Punishment Palace, the Martial Arts Palace, and the Heavenly Calculation Palace, which respectively govern the four major powers of literature, criminal law, martial arts, and astrology. There is a poem in the cultivation world: Wenji Mo Guyu, punishment to Zai Renjie, martial arts Gu Xuyuan, prophet Mu Liren. They are the names of the four palace masters, and they are all cultivators of the saint realm. Chi Linger patiently explained.

"Sage Realm?"

"You don't know?" Chi Ling'er was puzzled and looked at Chu Yun. Chu Yun nodded, and then said: "I only told this kid about the Xia Realm, because he hasn't even reached the Qi Gathering Realm yet, so he doesn't need to know a higher level. ”

"Miss Ling'er, how could you, a person from the Nine Shadows Clan, go to the imperial capital, and be injured by Gu Xuyuan's old boy?"

"You have been in seclusion for many years and have not known that the Nine Shadows have always been loyal to the Empire, but in three months, the imperial envoy came to the Nine Shadows with the Emperor's holy decree, saying that the Nine Shadows have been loyal for many years, and the Emperor is grateful for his loyalty, and specially invited his father to go and receive the reward. But when my father left, he never came back. ”

"The dragons of the Nine Shadows Clan have no leader, and gradually the people are panicked, and the queen mother is depressed all day long. So, I sneaked out and infiltrated the imperial capital to find out my father's whereabouts. However, unexpectedly, Jin Yuwei, who was patrolling the city, discovered his identity, and originally thought that my cultivation was not enough to care about the palace master-level figures. However, the Martial Arts Palace Master directly appeared and chased me for 30 million miles. I was able to escape only when my Nine Ghost Clan was the best at speed. It's a pity that the old thing slashed me in the waist and abdomen with a sword in the air. I gritted my teeth and breathed a sigh of relief, and finally fell into the area. ”

"With your realm, it is really not easy to escape from Gu Xuyuan's hands. Maybe he didn't take you seriously, so he held it up, but he didn't expect to be run away by you. ”

"However, Gu Xuyuan's sword qi is mixed with imprints, and he must know that you are here. ”

"Gu Xuyuan, as the palace master, can dispatch the trapped army of the imperial court. Once the imperial army's army is drawn here, innocent people will definitely be implicated. It's all my fault, and it's all related to my seniors and others. Chi Ling'er felt guilty in her heart, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Not really. But Chu Yun's face was still light and light.

"What does Grandpa Chu mean by this?" Chi Ling'er was puzzled and puzzled.

"As soon as we came, the northern border was barren, the mountains were continuous, and the fog was filled. Second, the fierce beast tribes in the north have never been ruled by nylon. The imperial court wanted to send someone to arrest him, but it was difficult to move an inch. ”

"After a long time, it will pass. Miss Ling'er, you don't have to worry. Take care of your injuries here, and talk about them when you're well. ”

"It's all up to you. Chi Ling'er smiled, feeling that Chu Yun was kind and very kind.

"Luo Chen, you go out first, there are still some things, I want to talk to Miss Ling'er alone. ”

"What's the matter, I can't listen to it?" Luo Chen pouted, not very happy.

"Bring the door and fuck off. Have you done today's practice?" Chu Yun spread his hands and simply looked like an old god stick. Luo Chen snorted secretly and raised his hand, "That's it, I don't want to hear it yet!" Closing the door, Luo Chen turned over in a blink of an eye, and fluttered up to the roof, bowing his head and putting his ear close to the tile.

At this time, a small pebble was quickly shot out from the house, and the tile was punched out of a small hole, with an incomparably huge force, hitting the chest, knocking Luo Chen out of more than ten meters and falling heavily to the ground. Ouch, "Old man, you want to be the last!"

Luo Chen got up with a brisk walk and pressed his chest. With his background, this level is nothing at all, but there is no way to eavesdrop, so he scolded and walked out of the courtyard.

Chu Yun took a sip of tea lightly and waited for Luo Chen to walk away. Chi Ling'er seemed to have known about Chu Yun's previous conversation for a long time, half-truths and half-truths, and said, "Grandpa Chu's previous words seem to be that he doesn't want Luo Chen to worry. ”

Chu Yun's eyes showed worry, and he slowly spoke: "Miss Ling'er is right, with the power of the imperial court, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will appear in the northern realm." ”

"I have an old bone of my own, and it doesn't matter. It's just Chen'er......" Chu Yun stopped talking, fixed his mind, and then said: "Miss Ling'er, I want to ask you for one thing." ”

"Seniors, but it's okay to talk about it. ”

The two talked secretly for a long time, and at noon, Luo Chen returned from outside the village, holding two wild pheasants in his hands, and the cardigan top, revealing strong and well-layered muscle lines.

At a glance, he saw Chi Ling'er sitting on a stone bench by the lake, and felt that her eyes were wandering, and he didn't know what she was thinking. He walked to the lake, sat down on the stone bench, and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Chi Ling'er came back to her senses, her eyes regained their brightness, she smiled, and said, "Luo Chen, do you want to become stronger?"

"Of course I want to! I'll tell you the truth, yesterday I was very envious when I saw the old man's immovable but imposing master's demeanor. It's a pity that I don't even have the true qi condensed now. ”

"You are sixteen years old, why haven't you condensed your true qi, didn't Grandpa Chu teach you?"

"The old man knows how to drink all day long, and he never teaches me cultivation in person, except for personally boiling medicine for me and making medicinal baths. ”

"Why is this?" Chi Ling'er asked puzzled. It stands to reason that Luo Chen's physique has been washed by the assistance of the Nine Rank Spirit Tree for many years, and he has long been stronger than the martial artists of the Qi Gathering Realm. The whole body is in a state like pure jade.

"The old man said that if a person wants to embark on the path of cultivation, he must first have a spiritual root. And although I have a spiritual root, it is indeed incomplete, and there is no way to cultivate at all. ”

For as long as Luo Chen can remember, he has been thinking of ways to cultivate his true qi, but the dantian is always empty, and the aura of heaven and earth seems to have penetrated his body, leaving no trace behind.

Chi Ling'er frowned and said, "There are indeed people in the world who have mutilated their spiritual roots for some reason or congenital defects, but they can also use special holy medicines or the true qi of supreme masters to repair the broken spiritual roots, so that they can condense their true qi and step into the initial stage of the Qi Gathering Realm." Your grandfather's cultivation seems unfathomable to me, so why don't I help you fix it?"

Luo Chen was also aware of this problem and seemed to be unable to figure it out.

"Can you let me probe your spiritual root?" Chi Ling'er thought for a moment and said.

Luo Chen nodded, indicating that he would like to please. Chi Ling'er was in color, and Luo Chen felt that there was a phantom shadow of the Nine Ghost Birds at this time, appearing in front of him. It was Chi Ling'er's divine sense, and his divine consciousness entered Luo Chen's dantian world. Chi Ling'er was slightly startled, the dantian was actually empty, she found the direction where the spiritual root was, and looked at it, there seemed to be a blood-red lotus.

Strangely, the dantian can only be transformed through spiritual energy to form a sea of qi. Only when you cultivate to the Spiritual Qi Realm can you manifest a reflection in the sea of Qi, and use this to determine the direction of your future cultivation. Why didn't Luo Chen even form a sea of qi, but he had a blood lotus.

Chi Ling'er poked into the blood lotus, it had no luster at all, and the blood-red flower body was wrapped together. Chi Ling'er tried to probe this blood lotus, but just wanted to act. Suddenly, the blood lotus bloomed, bursting out with a shocking blood ray, and there was a beautiful and peerless sound and shadow in the blood, which could not be seen clearly with Chi Ling'er's Nine Shadow Divine Eyes. I only saw those eyes clearly, and I suddenly felt as small as an ant.

In the next moment, a powerful impact erupted from the blood rays, and Chi Ling'er's divine consciousness was forcibly swept out of the dantian world. At this moment, a dazzling light emanated from Luo Chen's body outside, and a pillar of golden light came out of the ground and went straight into the sky.

A blood-colored blood lotus phantom appeared in the sky. The blood surging around the snow lotus stained the entire sky in blood red. Chi Ling'er broke out in a cold sweat, only to feel a dangerous message, and screamed.

At this time, a heavenly fire appeared in the void, enveloping the blood lotus, only to feel a powerful energy fluctuation in the surrounding space, and after an amazing roar, the fire disappeared, and the blood lotus and the shocking pillar of light dissipated, and a familiar figure appeared.

Chu Yun's face was solemn, his eyes were sharp, he looked at the northern sky, and slowly fell.
