41. Surprised to find
[2162 collection of additional chapters. Kindness...... End of the week. A total of four more have been added before and after? Next week, we will be on the new book list, and we can't compete for this list, so we ...... Next week is a little lighter, and a little more casual, and it's still two chapters a day. 】
The caves of Hanshan are no longer as dim as they used to be.
Ye Xuan now brings a torch with him every time he comes to light the way.
Because as the longer the time spent cultivating here, the aura in the cave has become more scarce. Although he hadn't reached the end yet, Ye Xuan knew that this place was not far from the origin at the end of the cave, because he had absorbed it in the past few days, and he could feel that the amount of spiritual energy contained in it was even greater and more refined.
Every half hour of aura absorbed here is equivalent to the effect of the previous hour or even an hour and a half.
And as a result, Ye Xuan went from being able to cultivate the mountains and rivers for four hours to only cultivating for one and a half to two hours.
No matter how long it takes, it will be completely unbearable.
The Pulse Protector Pill had been used up three months ago.
Of course, although the cultivation time has been shortened, the increased effect is much stronger than before. Just a few days ago, Ye Xuan had finally completely refined a meridian into the shape of an earth vein, and with the help of the tenacity and bearing capacity of this meridian, Ye Xuan had also officially stepped into the realm of the upper three grades.
The upper three grades are the cultivation of turning strength into qi. When fighting, you can unleash your energy to attack the enemy.
Generally, the martial arts of the upper rank of the third rank can only maintain the maximum power within one zhang, and after exceeding three zhang, it will completely dissipate.
However, because the meridian on Ye Xuan's right hand in his body already had the type of earth vein, he could maintain his maximum power within two zhang, and it would not begin to dissipate until at least four zhang.
In this Tian Yuan Continent, only a few geniuses who had also cultivated extremely advanced induction techniques could compete with Ye Xuan.
"It's progressing pretty well, faster than expected. Ye Xuan moved his right hand, and the injury had completely healed.
It can even be said that it has also benefited from it.
Because of the fracture of his right hand before, when Ye Xuan cultivated the Mountains and Rivers Technique, those spiritual qi actually penetrated into the bones through the cracks of the fracture, and the bones of the right hand were tempered once, which made Ye Xuan's right hand much harder and more powerful than a normal person's right hand.
"A martial artist who is at the peak of the first rank has the power of an elephant when he makes a move. If I go all out, I won't be able to reach the power of an elephant, but it's not far off...... If I simply fight for strength, a top-level second-grade martial artist will not be my opponent. ”
Ye Xuan had an extremely clear understanding of the distinction of strength, and after testing the strength of his right hand, he had already come to a conclusion: his right hand would become more and more powerful with the improvement of the realm and the number of leyline refinements. The later it gets, the more terrifying this gap will become, and if an ordinary person doesn't have a secret method, he can at least jump one or two orders to the enemy.
Of course, this is to the extent that it will be in the future, and with the current ability, at most, it can only deal with martial artists who have just entered the upper and second ranks.
But that's enough.
After finishing the exercise, Ye Xuan got up and glanced at the aura that had weakened almost a circle, and then turned to leave.
Because the cultivation time has been shortened now, when Ye Xuan leaves the cave, it is not as late as usual.
The afternoon sun is not as hot as the noon.
The breeze blows, bringing with it the aroma of flowers and plants.
Although there is air flow in the cave, but after all, the range is not large, so staying in the cave will naturally be very stuffy, and at this moment, being blown by the breeze like this, Ye Xuan has an indescribable comfort.
"Calculate it, the second uncle should come back today. Ye Xuan silently calculated in his heart, and he basically had a concept.
This cold water city is about three months away from the mountain gate of the cold water gate, but if you go by fast horse, you can usually reach it in two months and a few days. When Lu Jie went to Hanshuimen, he rode a fast horse, so generally speaking, it was only two and a half months at most.
Two and a half months ago, Lu Jie came back from flying pigeons, saying that he was already on the way back.
"Hunt wild game, go back and give the second uncle wine. ”
Having made up his mind, Ye Xuan picked up his sword and walked towards the depths of the Cold Mountain.
In the past year in this cold water, although Ye Xuan has changed a lot of swords, he has also hunted a lot of beasts, which are better than some hunters. These hunted beasts were naturally exchanged for silver by Ye Xuan, and occasionally when he was greedy, he also roasted one by himself.
It can be said that Ye Xuan has always had a very comfortable life.
Although there are no intelligent beasts on the cold mountain, the beasts are also more loyal to instinct and intuition. Ye Xuan had hunted so many beasts, and there was naturally a bad aura on his body, so as soon as those beasts smelled wrong, they would have already fled, how could they stay for Ye Xuan to capture.
This made him wander for half an hour, and he saw that it was almost sunset, but he still didn't hunt a single wild beast.
"It doesn't seem to have much to gain. Sighing helplessly, Ye Xuan glanced at the sky, "The hunting in the past three months has been so ruthless that even those hunters have to run deeper...... Huh?"
Just as Ye Xuan was about to leave, he suddenly found that there was something glowing on a slope next to him.
It wasn't until he got closer to take a look that Ye Xuan realized that the glowing object was actually a piece of metal: "Star Iron?"
The metal piece was not big, only the size of a fingernail, but its weight was directly more than fifty kilograms, if it weren't for Ye Xuan's right hand with the strength of close to an elephant, he wouldn't be able to pick up this piece of star iron.
"Unfortunately, the stars are almost gone. After looking through it carefully, Ye Xuan said with some regret, "It doesn't have much effect anymore." ”
The value of star iron lies in the star points contained in it.
The larger the area of a piece of star iron, the more stars it contains, and the higher the value of this piece of star iron.
The silver taels in the ordinary world, no matter how much, can't afford to buy this kind of star iron.
It's just that although the value of Star Iron is high, its role is relatively limited. The reason why its value is high is that Star Iron can provide a very large amount of energy, which cannot be absorbed and used by cultivators, but it can provide the energy needed for the operation of the formation, and even allow some special magic weapons to exert more power.
"The star dots on this star iron are almost gone, and it seems that people are using star iron to provide energy...... Could it be that there is any formation around here?"
With such a question, Ye Xuan turned his head to look around, this time he observed very carefully, for fear of missing something.
In less than a moment, Ye Xuan really discovered something special!
Not far in front of him, three giant trees grew very close.
As we all know, in the forest, there is a pattern of tree growth, because the nutrients that can be provided in a piece of land are very limited, if the trees grow too close, then these trees will create a kind of competitiveness, the winner can continue to grow, and the loser will become the winner's nutrition.
But these three trees not only grow very closely, but can even be said to grow extremely vigorously, which is completely contrary to common sense.
If something goes wrong, it will be a demon!
Ye Xuan cautiously approached, and then carefully checked the surroundings to confirm that there was really no danger, before approaching the three trees and began to observe more carefully.
Although he does not have the same strong combat power as he did back then, his eyesight, judgment, insight, experience, etc., will not die out because of this. If even he couldn't understand these arrangements in front of him, then there was no second person in the entire Coldwater City who could understand them.
"It's ...... The handwriting of the Sheji School Palace. After observing and getting the proof, Ye Xuan's face was extremely shocked.
The Sheji School Palace is a vein representing Confucianism and Taoism in the four veins of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Martial Arts.
This vein is the most hostile to creatures such as demons and spirits.
Although they learn Confucianism, it doesn't mean that they don't have the ability to fight, but compared to the other three veins, the combat ability of the Confucian vein is not high, but when facing creatures such as demons and spirits, the combat ability of the other three veins is completely inferior to that of Confucian scholars.
Of course, this so-called low is only relatively speaking.
The Sheji Academy Palace claims to have three sages, six great grandmasters and thirty-six minor grandmasters. This title is not another name or status, but a symbol of strength. In addition to the three sages and the six great grandmasters, the thirty-six junior grandmasters were active all over the Tian Yuan Continent, and they were all superb in terms of martial arts, aspects, and qi cultivation.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be called a little grandmaster.
But although these people are very active, no one knows where the Sheji School Palace is. And how they took the disciples, no one ever knew.
Ye Xuan knew that the arrangement of the three trees in front of him was from the hands of the Sheji School Palace, and it was also seen from an ancient book.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the technique of the Spirit Cultivation Qi Array...... This is a formation that only a sage can arrange. Ye Xuan was a little surprised, "But this formation has become invalid, it seems that the Haoqi Pill contained in the formation should have been formed, otherwise the formation will not be invalid." ”
However, when Ye Xuan picked up the soil in the center of the three big trees, he found that in addition to an ancient wooden box, the Haoqi Pill inside was gone!
"Not really? Could it be that someone took it away?" Ye Xuan's face was a little strange.
Haoqi Pill is the same as the effect of the Rebirth Pill.
It's just that the latter is to give martial artists who have reached the peak of the first rank before the age of twenty have a chance to change bones, if it can't be achieved, then this rebirth pill is naturally useless.
But the Hao Qi Pill is different, it can plant a Hao Qi seed in a person's body, and even if people who can't practice martial arts take it, it can take effect. After that, as long as after a period of nourishing qi and gathering gods, the seeds will have Hao Qi after germination, basically as long as you have Hao Qi, you can already cultivate the special cultivation method of Confucianism, and even people who can't learn martial arts can start learning martial arts after entering the innate world.
It's just that Haoqi Pill hasn't appeared for a long time.
As far as Ye Xuan knew, in the past, when the Sheji Academy Palace was at its strongest, it used the Haoqi Pill to cultivate disciples. But since the prescription of the Haoqi Pill disappeared, the Sheji Academy Palace was no longer able to cultivate disciples on such a large scale.
Of course, it is not possible to cultivate disciples artificially, but there are still ways to accept disciples.
Because this seed of great energy occasionally appears in the bodies of some scholars.
"It seems that I haven't fully discovered the secret of this cold mountain. "Didn't find the Haoqi Pill, Ye Xuan didn't have a trace of regret, but made him more energetic, "The dragon vein that was almost formed, the dragon ball that was taken away, has not completely turned into a dead mountain and stagnant water, but has raised so many people, plus the spiritual qi cultivation array laid by this sage...... It seems that the origin of this cold mountain is even bigger than I imagined!"
