Chapter 67: Spirit Gu Chance
"Hee-hee! Alright, alright! I'll arrange something for you to eat! When Bai Ruoxi saw this beautiful red fox, she was immediately overjoyed, and she held it in her arms and was reluctant to put it down.
You must know that although there are actually not many spirit beasts in the human world, each immortal gate will raise a group of them on a large scale. But in fact, there are very few spirit animals that understand human nature, and even fewer spirit animals that can be coquettish and cute with human nature.
In fact, the spirit beasts of human nature can be a good auxiliary in battle, they are not only agile, but also have some very special abilities. With this, everyone wants to have their own exclusive spirit pet to make up for their shortcomings in some aspects.
Of course, this is often an unattainable thing, so good spirit beasts will become the object of contention among cultivators.
After the red fox got this golden tail, he found that he had become more beautiful and moving, and the pair of demon-breaking golden light pupils were even more useful, so his attitude towards Gu Changsheng became attentive. Although it was eating the meat that Bai Ruoxi had prepared for her, its eyes had been aiming in Gu Changsheng's direction, watching his every move.
Gu Feichen took out a brass token, and after injecting spiritual power, the yellow light on it flashed, and a brown light flew out from it, which accurately hit a stone door, and immediately made all the runes on the door light up. As a result, after a few loud noises, the stone gate slowly rose, revealing a passage behind the door, which was a few feet high and square.
"Big brother, after this passage, it's the secret room where grandpa cultivates, let's go over now!" After Gu Feichen collected the token, he said with a smile to Gu Changsheng.
"Hmm!" Gu Changsheng nodded indifferently and took the lead in the passage.
"Although the spiritual vein of this drum mountain is only a small branch vein, the concentration of spiritual energy in this passage is much higher than that outside, it seems that this passage leads to a certain location close to the main spiritual vein!" Gu Changsheng felt the changes in his aura as he walked in front.
In this way, Gu Changsheng passed through another stone gate that was also tall, and finally walked out of the passage and appeared in a rotunda seven or eight zhang wide.
Gu Changsheng couldn't help but touch the stone wall on one side for a while, and it didn't take long for a pure aura to condense on the palm of his hand!
"These turned out to be spiritual mines! Although it is slightly inferior to the low-level spirit stone, it is excellent for cultivation, and it is really rare for grandpa to leave such a good secret room! Gu Changsheng said with a rare opening in admiration.
"This is the intersection of the spiritual veins that our Gu family's grandfather calculated, if it weren't for this secret room, Ruoxi's cultivation and I would not have reached the current level at all!" Gu Feichen explained.
After Gu Changsheng looked at it curiously, he heard Gu Feichen say:
"This circle in the center of the hall is actually a secret door, and below is the gathering place where the aura is most vigorous."
Gu Feichen immediately took out a white jade plaque and pasted it to the depression, and the circle immediately split into two halves and opened automatically, revealing a spiraling staircase.
Then, the two went down the stairs to a room.
This house is a square building, the area is average, only three or four zhang in size, but in the center of the house there is a round pier about a zhang wide, each of the four walls is pasted with a spirit rune, and there are a few gray futons in the corner not far away.
After seeing the situation in the room clearly, Gu Changsheng was a little surprised, but before he could ask, Gu Feichen had already walked to the vicinity of Yuandun and took the initiative to explain to Gu Changsheng.
"Big brother, this is the gathering center of the Drum Mountain Spiritual Veins and Spiritual Qi, and the best place to cultivate is here."
Then Gu Feichen pointed to the spirit runes on the wall and said:
"These spirit runes are part of the spirit gathering formation, which can temporarily strengthen the concentration of spiritual energy, if the eldest brother wants to launch the strongest attack formation of the medicine garden, he can use the spirit here to increase the power, but it won't last too long."
"In addition, this jade big brother has put it away. As soon as the stone staircase was closed, it was cut off from all contact with the outside world. Unless the chain of secret rooms has been breached, no one can enter from the outside. Therefore, although the eldest brother practices again, rest assured, no one will disturb him! ”
When Gu Changsheng heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, such a completely closed environment was exactly what he needed, and his face couldn't help but show a little joy!
"I'm going to remove Gu for Ruoxi here, what does the eldest brother think?" Gu Feichen pointed at Yuan Dun and asked.
Gu Changsheng was speechless when he heard this, nodded silently, and agreed.
"I have prepared the medicinal herbs according to the prescription of my eldest brother, and I have also prepared two large wooden barrels for brewing medicinal soup. Oh yes, why did Ruoxi prepare two big wooden barrels in addition to Brother Gu? Do you have to take turns soaking in the two medicinal soups? Gu Feichen led Gu Changsheng as he spoke, walked to the items he had prepared, and asked with a grin.
"I prepared two large wooden barrels in order to solve two problems at the same time. One is to get rid of Ruoxi's spirit Gu, and the other is to help you refine your bones and wash your marrow. Gu Changsheng explained while carefully inspecting the elixirs and antidote utensils stacked next to him.
"Big brother, please explain the reason, I want to understand the reason." Gu Feichen's eyes lit up, full of curiosity about the unknown.
"Spirit Gu is actually a small insect that lives in the body of a cultivator and survives by sucking spiritual power, you can understand this kind of small insect as a kind of spiritual jar that stores spiritual power......" When he saw the few elixirs he got from Master Zhao Zhuang, Gu Changsheng's eyebrows twitched slightly, his face did not change, and he couldn't find it at all without careful observation.
The age of these elixirs is not enough, and some special means need to be used to remedy it, so that Gu Feichen will suffer more crimes.
Gu Changsheng glanced at Gu Feichen meaningfully and continued:
"The spirit Gu implanted in Ruoxi's body is a maggot called 'Wood Spirit', this kind of insect is usually enough to store the spiritual power of an ordinary cultivator for twenty years of cultivation, during which it will metamorphose three times, and each time it will manifest a different state."
"Normally, the first metamorphosis usually occurs between the eighth and tenth years, when the 'wood essence' changes from non-toxic to slightly toxic. The second metamorphosis usually occurs around the fifteenth year period, when the toxins of the 'wood spirit' double. The third metamorphosis is at the moment it becomes an adult, and the 'Wood Spirit' will spit out a highly poisonous poison to dissolve the host. ”
"Now Ruoxi is in the late stage of the second transformation, and the third transformation is not far away!"
"Big brother, the time you said is not right at all! Why is it so much in advance? Gu Feichen's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes stared at Gu Changsheng suspiciously.
"It's not because she's cultivating in this secret room, if you think about it carefully, you should be able to figure out the truth here." Gu Changsheng smiled bitterly, and there was a bit of ridicule on his face.
"You mean, the aura here is very strong, causing Ruoxi's cultivation speed to be greatly accelerated, and the 'wood essence' is full in advance?" Gu Feichen suddenly realized.
Gu Changsheng smiled lightly and said:
"That's right, that's the truth. The Taoist priest who had fallen under the Gu should not have expected Ruoxi to have such an opportunity, otherwise he would have come to the door to rob people, and he would never have waited until now to make a move, if he came according to the time he originally expected, Ruoxi would have died a long time ago! ”
"At that time, that Daoist will definitely deduce something unusual in it, and maybe he will arrest you and force you to find this excellent cultivation place!"
"In this way, didn't I almost kill Ruoxi with my own hands!" Gu Feichen's face was remorseful.
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Changsheng was stunned for a moment and asked.
Gu Feichen lowered his head with a bitter face, like a child who had done something wrong, and said timidly:
"Grandpa told me before he passed away that he couldn't take Ruoxi to this secret room to practice, I thought he was biased and didn't want outsiders to come in......"
"So you made a claim and brought Ruoxi in, but it turned out that she was poisoned more and more?" Gu Changsheng patted Gu Feichen's shoulder and sighed lightly.
"Big brother, I know it's wrong, save Ruoxi!" Gu Feichen pleaded.
"Don't worry, fate is determined by heaven, if Xi's fate should not be extinguished, she will definitely be able to survive this crisis. And in the case of mistakes, it also brought you a rare opportunity! Gu Changsheng smiled mysteriously and said.
"Serendipity?" Gu Feichen was stunned for a moment.
"That's right, your marriage is predestined, and your fates have been tied together, so to speak, in a state of living and dying together. This can be regarded as a way for her to repay her grandfather's kindness. Gu Changsheng explained.
"Live and die together! Big brother, you're right, if Ruoxi has three longs and two shorts, I don't want to live......" Gu Feichen is an infatuated species, and he values Bai Ruoxi's safety more than his own life.
This time, removing Gu, refining bones and washing the marrow, it is dangerous and abnormal, Gu Feichen has to endure great hardships, and the two of them can pass the test smoothly, and he must maintain his confidence at this time.
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng hurriedly encouraged:
"There is still room for redemption, don't have a sad face. Let's get back to business, this 'wood spirit' is actually not difficult to get rid of, the biggest risk is actually that after the 'wood spirit' is killed, it will suddenly release a huge amount of spiritual power into Ruoxi's body, which will cause the spiritual pressure in Ruoxi's body to increase dramatically, so we have to find a way for her to unload the excess spiritual power. ”
"It just so happens that the muscles of your body are not smooth, and you need a bone refining to help you improve your physique. Moreover, you are the three spirit roots of water, wood and earth, among which the wood spirit root is the strongest, but it is mixed with too much miscellaneous gas, using the wood spirit spirit power discharged by Ruoxi, you can help you refine the wood spirit root and reach the cultivation qualification close to the two spirit roots. ”
Immediately afterwards, Gu Changsheng turned his face to stare at Gu Feichen's eyes, with a serious face, and said very solemnly:
"The opportunity is rare, but the whole process will make you miserable, in order for Ruoxi to survive this hurdle, you must grit your teeth and resist, no matter how painful your body is, you can't give up, otherwise you will all die here!"
"Big brother, please rest assured, for Ruoxi, I will grit my teeth and persevere!"
