Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Lotus Seed Arrives
Wang Guanlan, male, sixteen years old, the fourteenth son of the king of Nanning, the fifth-level cultivator of qi refining, the fifth-order warlock, and the formation mage
Very good at formation, knife technique, suspected of being inherited by the previous generation of great array mages, can compete with the nine-layer martial artist of Qi refining, epiphany Buddhism Divine Power Bodhi Town magic knife, superior martial arts Ananda breaking ring knife Xiaocheng, bloodline inheritance of the true fire, with extraordinary self-healing ability, when the injury is healed, the fire is overflowing, and it is suspected that the bloodline of the true fire of the earth is mutated.
He has challenged several strong players on the abyss candidate list to be undefeated, and his Excellency Yu Tianji has returned without losing his reputation. Dragon Scale Harbor set up a lore array, joined forces with Feng Jiu, and killed Jun Sheng in front of the array, also in Dragon Scale Harbor, Yunhai Ju, with the Five Elements Array Flag, and the first master of the Cangyuan Wolf Warrior List Nurhachi fought to a draw.
No. 1 in the Abyss List!!
On the third day after Wang Guanlan drew with Nurhachi, the above information was already on the table of all the leaders of the Great Qi Dynasty.
Wang Guanlan has also completely entered the eyes of all the forces of the Great Qi Dynasty, and now Wang Guanlan is no longer a young strong man with potential, but a real grown up, a strong man with his own influence, his strength can even rank in the top five in the Ning Wangfu, and he has become a strong man who can be alone in the line of the king of Nanning.
"Childe, Nanning City is ahead, and we are about to get home!"
A half-old carriage drove slowly on the official road, pulled by two horses, humming and making a heavy gasping sound.
In front of the carriage on the right, Luo Han rode on a tall white horse, happily pointing to the city not far away and shouting to the carriage.
As the commander of the civet guard, and also Wang Guanlan's personal guard, he really couldn't understand what his son thought, obviously he could rush back to the three southwestern provinces in the fastest time, but he chose this most time-consuming method, three months, two horses led the carriage for three full months, before he could come from Wuhuangdao in the east to the border of the three southwestern states, Nanning City.
And in the past three months, Wang Guanlan hid in the carriage and rarely came out, if he hadn't been by his side and said a few words to him from time to time, he would even think that he had left alone.
It was through this small exchange that he understood that Wang Guanlan had been in a state of semi-retreat for the past three months, and this result made him feel even more weird.
Retreat is a big deal, for any martial artist, retreat needs to be done in a completely quiet and undisturbed environment, where is there a retreat like Wang Guanlan, in the carriage, what if it is disturbed at a critical moment?
Of course, this is just his personal conjecture, in the past few years, Wang Guanlan has given him too many surprises, for Wang Guanlan's opinion, he has completely looked at it with an unfathomable vision, therefore, for some of his abnormal behavior, at most he just feels a little strange and will not delve into it.
He also didn't know that the reason why Wang Guanlan delayed on the road for three months was just to create alibi evidence for himself.
"Now, should the Seven Heart Earth Fire Lotus have already been obtained?!" After more than three months, Wang Guanlan was almost certain that the Seven Heart Earth Fire Lotus had matured, and the woman in scarlet clothes should also get it, as for the green spirit guarding under the fire vein in the center of the earth, Wang Guanlan didn't think she had this opportunity.
"Does anyone know that we are in Nanning City?!"
"They should know that Childe has been walking very slowly in the past three months, and he has not deliberately concealed his whereabouts, and your whereabouts cannot be concealed from someone with a heart!"
"Can't you hide it from someone who cares, this is the best!" Wang Guanlan gently put down the Daji Divine Knife in his hand, opened the curtain, and looked at the majestic city not far away, "Let's rest in Nanning City, and then continue on the road!"
"Yes!" Luo Han replied.
At this time, outside the city of Nanning, there were already people standing full, these people were all the leading figures in Nanning City, headed by the Tongzhi of Nanning Mansion, who was the person of Ningwangfu, as for the prefect of Nanning Mansion, he did not appear here, after all, he was the face of the imperial court, and it was impossible to personally go out of the city to greet the prince of Ningwangfu, even if this prince had just made a contribution to the Great Qi Dynasty, killed the remnants of the former Wei, and also obtained the title.
"Tell them that I have been in a state of retreat, and I will not see them!" Seeing the people who welcomed them out of the city from a distance, Wang Guanlan frowned slightly, "They will be handed over to you for entertainment!"
"Ah?!" Luo Han was stunned for a moment, and his face was also bitter, this guy was not a good communicator when he was in Hua Liwei, but now under Wang Guanlan's hands, he has managed a little more internal and external affairs, and he can be regarded as a little progress, but he is not a professional communicator, but now Wang Guanlan's side is his highest status, and he is also the most suitable guy to deal with these people, so Wang Guanlan can only dump these mundane affairs to him.
Although I didn't see these decent people in Nanning City, but Nanning City has already prepared a place for him to live, this is a vast manor in the suburbs of the west of the city, of course, it belongs to a rich businessman, but this rich businessman five years ago because he offended some nobles, was made a family extermination, this manor is empty, all along, there are many people who hit the idea of this manor, but for various reasons, it has not been settled, until today, Wang Guanlan passed by Nanning City, the person in charge of the city, then cleaned the manor again, and asked Wang Guanlan and his party to live in。
As soon as he moved into the manor, Wang Guanlan really fell into a state of retreat.
His harvest in Dragon Scale Harbor was too great, but he had not had enough time to comprehend it, and on the way back to the Southwest Three Prefectures from Dragon Scale Harbor, there were too many people secretly watching, making him unable to devote himself to cultivation, although these people who were secretly watching were powerful alibi witnesses, but they also bothered him.
But now it's different, Nanning City is a male city on the border of the three southwestern states, here, no one dares to spy on him secretly, even if there is, the formation he has arranged around is enough to resist them.
"The power of the fifth level, in essence, is no different from the power of the fourth level, and this is the result of the improvement of my zero-level divine power!" Wang Guanlan sensed the gentle power emanating from the zero-level divine power flowing in the meridians, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Zero-level divine power replaced his internal qi flowing in his body, but in his senses, this power was just a high-quality internal qi, which might be comparable to the internal qi cultivated by the bronze or even silver-level treasure books, but it was not mana, and his spiritual power was more perfect, although above the rank, it was only one order, but the divine soul power that fused a trace of divine power gave him a completely different feeling.
The previous divine soul power was more like a tool, an additional power, able to use spiritual sense, able to use "circles" , can use the power of the soul to perform all kinds of spells, and even after entering the fourth order, he can also use the power of telekinesis, but in any case, his soul power is the power of the soul, in the sea of knowledge, like a pool of deep water, but now, this pool of deep water is gone, replaced by a golden-red crystal, his sea of knowledge, including the nine ancient runes, are all solidified, this crystal is in the shape of a translucent shuttle, this crystal, not only replaced his soul power, but also replaced the entire sea of knowledge.
It was this crystal that gave him a powerful power to indulge in the fire energy, and now, his ability to control the fire energy around him could almost be said to have reached the point of instinct, no matter where he went, he could easily feel the fire energy around him, extract them, and use them, as if these fire energy was a part of his body.
Originally, the mutation that occurred in his divine soul was incomparable with the rank of a warlock, but the strange thing was that this golden-red crystal only seemed to improve his control over the fire vitality, as for other aspects, it was completely unchanged, as if his divine soul consciousness sea had changed its form, and in that strange crystal, his divine soul power was completely in line with the characteristics of a fifth-order warlock, soul gathering.
What is Soul Gathering?
Everyone says that people have souls, and people die without extinguishing their souls, but in fact, only when they cultivate to reach the sixth-order condensation, can they barely achieve the autonomy of people who die and the soul is immortal, because after the condensation, the soul is condensed into one, and a fixed pattern has been formed, as for ordinary people, warriors and warlocks below the sixth order, after they die, at most only one wisp of remnant soul is left to enter reincarnation, and they cannot form a complete soul, and there are some living people who are very obsessed, after death, this wisp of remnant thoughts will remain in the world for a period of time, if by chance, can meet some suitable for absorbing yin qi, it will be transformed into a ghost。
Ghosts are not complete spirits and ghosts, but are just the product of a little obsession of human beings and the yin and cold qi of heaven and earth, so ghosts are yin, afraid of yang, and can only harm people in some fixed places.
The biggest feature of the fifth-order warlock soul gathering is that the divine soul can be completely reflected in the divine sea, Wang Guanlan's current sea of knowledge has been replaced by a golden-red crystal, therefore, his soul is completely reflected in the crystal, which he can clearly feel.
However, it is only a soul gathering, so his soul is not complete, it is just a small cloud of mist flowing in the crystal, and when this mist continues to absorb spiritual power and grow, it will have a true form, that is, the complete soul can be manifested, and at that time, it is the time when Wang Guanlan breaks through to the condensation level.
"Although the zero-level divine power can be compared with mana in terms of quality, it is a little troublesome how to go in the future!" This is also the question that Wang Guanlan has thought about the most in the past three months, his current cultivation has completely nothing to learn from, although it is said that Ning Wangfu does not lack internal qi cultivation methods, but the grade of his internal qi is too high, and the surname is so single, ordinary heaven and earth vitality cannot meet the needs of his cultivation at all, even if it is the [Dripping Heavenly Marrow] in Ning Wang's Mansion. Taking out the treasure book for him to cultivate will not bring any benefits to his internal qi cultivation and improvement, and the cultivation method of Ning Wangfu's Earth Evil True Fire can only be used as a reference.
Therefore, he has already concealed his target from the Five Poisons Secret Realm, and only the poison there, and if the poison surname is particularly large, it can meet his needs for cultivating martial arts, in addition, after the matter of the Seven Hearts Earth Fire Lotus is resolved, he will enter that place in the center of the earth fire vein to cultivate well, and now he can perfectly control the fire vitality, and he can get huge benefits by practicing in the center of the earth fire vein, of course, there is also that lotus seed.
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Creatures that contain a large amount of spiritual energy naturally have a huge help for cultivation, not to mention that this is still the Seven Heart Earth Fire Lotus that grows under the fire veins in the center of the earth?
Gently, the golden-red divine power was attributed to the crystal in the sea of knowledge, and a wry smile appeared on his face, this golden-red divine power was completely like an ordinary internal qi, which could flow freely in the body, but since two months ago, the flow path of the divine power has changed, and after running for a week, it is very natural to return to the crystal of the sea of knowledge, and it is no longer attributed to the dantian, and in his dantian, a new power has been generated, or rather, it is the power he is very familiar with, extremely pure witch qi.
This change made him cry and laugh, when he wanted to run this witch qi, he found that this witch qi, any method of cultivating internal qi could not be activated at all, and he had to use the method of using the witch mantis to teach him to run the witch qi, but the method of running the witch qi taught to him by the witch mantis was very shallow, and it was obvious that the laws of this world were not suitable for the cultivation of the witch qi, so in the past two months, his witch qi cultivation was very slow.
Suddenly, Wang Guanlan's slightly narrowed eyes opened suddenly, "Since you're here, let's come in, it seems that things are going well!!"
The crimson shirt flashed, and the woman in the scarlet dress appeared in his room.
"Huh, you kid, it seems that you have received a great benefit, and you have condensed into a divine crystal!" The woman in scarlet clothes didn't care about it originally, but after seeing Wang Guanlan's current state, she jumped up suddenly, rushed directly to Wang Guanlan's face, and lifted him up.
In front of this scarlet woman, Wang Guanlan had no room to fight back at all, just looked at the scarlet woman with a wry smile, "I just got some coincidences, there shouldn't be anything, right?!"
"Hmph, your matter is here, it turned out to be the pupil of the evil god, and you also opened the power of the pupil of the evil god, no wonder this is the case!" the woman in scarlet clothes put Wang Guanlan down, and said with a strange face, "I didn't expect you to come to this road, but it's a little troublesome!"
"I'm also very distressed now, but there are some things that I can't solve!"
"Since you can't solve it, don't mess around!" The woman in scarlet clothes stroked her forehead, "You're just a guy who has just awakened from the bloodline of a poisonous witch, and it's really surprising to me that you didn't die when you encountered such a thing!"
"Could it be that before, no one absorbed the divine power of the evil god's pupil and even other witchcraft?!"
"Yes, most of them died, and those who survived became Wu Zun!" The woman in scarlet clothes looked at Wang Guanlan thoughtfully, "Hehe, Wu Zun, the future Wu Zun, boy, do you say you can live to that day?!"
"I'll try my best!" Wang Guanlan just smiled bitterly.
"Try your best, try to be a fart, you still want to live until you become a witch, do you know, you are now a moving treasure trove, if you can't completely hide your evil god's pupil, you are a dead end, don't think that no one will see if you hide the third eye in the center of your eyebrows, in the eyes of people with hearts, the evil god's eye in the center of your eyebrows is a huge beacon, and you can smell the smell of this nouveau riche on your body from afar. The woman in scarlet said angrily.
"Then what should I do?!" Wang Guanlan asked, "Is there any way to hide it?!"
"You yourself have the bloodline of the Earth's Evil True Fire, and you can disguise this internal qi as a mutated form of the Earth's Evil True Fire, so for a period of time in the future, you'd better stay in the Earth's Heart Fire Vein and not come out, so that in this world, except for me who can judge it because I know your bottom line, no one should be able to see it, and your Divine Crystal, I don't know why you formed the Divine Crystal so early, but the Divine Crystal is different from the Eyes of the Evil God, and he is not something that ordinary people can detect!" Speaking of this, she sighed slightly, "Boy, you'd better hurry up and cultivate, only when you have cultivated to the secret realm of supernatural powers, and your divine power and divine crystals are completely combined, can you ensure that you will not be seen by others, hehe, isn't the first-level divine power equivalent to the sixfold mana power of the supernatural powers?"
"Sixfold Divine Power?!"
"Yes, the sixfold supernatural powers, although the zero-level divine power looks similar to the internal qi, but their quality is comparable to ordinary mana, so, it is a little eye-catching, and once you step into the secret realm of supernatural powers, your divine power will make a qualitative leap, and it will become a supernatural sixfold mana, but in the same way, your progress in the future will be slower than others, you can understand what I mean!"
"I understand!" Wang Guanlan nodded and said, this is actually not difficult to understand, slow work and meticulous work, since the quality of his internal qi mana is higher than others, the requirements for the heaven and earth vitality in cultivation are naturally very high, and it can even be said to be harsh, and the cultivation will naturally be a few beats slower than ordinary people, this is not difficult to understand, "But you just said that I can't imagine that I have come to this road, which road is it?!"
"The way back to the origins!" said the woman in scarlet clothes angrily. Wu was born in chaos, is one of the legendary Kaitian four clans, but with the passage of time, the Kaitian four clans disappeared, only Wu remained, and the blood of Wu is also slowly degraded in the long river of time, the bloodline is getting weaker and weaker, forming the later Wu clan, and finally extinct, and in the heyday of the Wu clan, the use of the bodies of these foreign gods and demons to create a variety of witch weapons, some of the Wu clan and you, from these witch weapons to get the power of these foreign gods and demons, and combine these powers with their own witch power, the result of the witch power is becoming more and more pure, and the purpose of returning to the origin has been achieved, becoming a real witch!”
"Magical power is divine power?!"
"No, divine power is divine power, and witch power is magic power, the two are completely different!"
"Then what is flowing in my body now should be divine power, why do you say that this is the way to return to the origin!"
"Your dantian should have generated witch energy by now, right? That is the real most quintessential magic power seed, as your divine power level continues to increase, your magic power will continue to become pure, and when you enter the secret realm of divine power, after the witch energy is transformed into magic power, your magic power will be dozens of times purer than that of ordinary witches, or even hundreds of times!"
"Why?!"
"No one knows why, maybe those witches who suffered the same as you in ancient times have figured out why, but at least now, I don't know why!" The woman in scarlet smiled bitterly, "This kind of thing, I am also hearsay, it may not be really useful!"
"Hearsay is better than no information!" Wang Guanlan quietly sensed the subtle and pitiful witch qi in the dantian, if it wasn't for the scarlet woman reminding him, he really couldn't feel that the witch qi in his dantian was indeed purer than his previous reality.
"This is the lotus seed of the Seven Heart Earth Fire Lotus, according to the agreement between us, you take one!" As she spoke, the woman in scarlet clothes handed Wang Guanlan a soybean-sized, crimson lotus seed, "Absorb it, you should be able to consolidate the current cultivation of the fifth layer of qi refining, and reach the level of divine power, you should be able to reach the mid-level level of the fifth layer of qi refining!"
"What?, in the middle of the fifth layer of Qi refining, didn't you say that this thing can help people break through the bottleneck of the Divine Power Secret Realm?!"
"Yes, this is true for ordinary people, but what is flowing in your body now, it is divine power, even if it is a zero-level divine power, it is also equivalent to the existence of mana, and it is already good to be able to improve a small rank!"
"It's really troublesome, can it be that my cultivation in the future can only advance at a turtle speed?!"
"If there aren't enough encounters, I'm afraid it's really like this!" the woman in scarlet said with a smile, "However, it's not without chance!"
"What chance?!" Wang Guanlan's eyes lit up.
"There are a lot of opportunities, but it's good to be able to meet them, your biggest opportunities now are two, one is the fire vein in the center of the earth, or there is the five poison secret realm that will be opened in a year and a half, if you are lucky, you can be promoted to a first-order and two......-order!"
"Did you meet her?!" Wang Guanlan asked with a slight squint of eyes.
"No, no, no, of course I won't run into her, although she is in charge of guarding, it is impossible to stay there all day long, I took the things away while she was away, but she should have noticed something wrong by now, if you go back early, you can still see her rampage."
"I'm not interested in her violent appearance!" Wang Guanlan said coldly, "Otherwise, why do you think I have walked so slowly in the past three months?!"
"You little fox!" the woman in scarlet laughed, "I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time!!"
