Chapter 20 Shaohua seeks a breakthrough

"Brother Huaiyu, what did you hear?"

Li Zhi turned his head to look back at the Jing River, but he didn't find any trace of the old man.

However, there is obviously a voice echoing in his ears?

"No, Ninth Prince, is something wrong?"

Qin Huaiyu asked puzzledly, and while looking at the eldest grandson Huanting, he also shook his head negatively from the other party.

Looking at the calm surface of the Jing River, Li Zhi was thoughtful.

Golden carp?

An old man who appeared out of thin air?

I rescued his daughter?

Could it be? ……

Li Zhi didn't dare to think about it, if it was really what he thought, this was too exaggerated, right?

Li Zhi shook his head, trying not to let himself think about this, and the three of them urged the horse to leave the bank of the Jing River and continue to go east.

Two days later, enter the territory of Weinan, and then go east to Huayin, where there is the world-famous Xiyue Huashan.

Weinan, as the name suggests, is in the south of Weishui, with the Qinling Mountains in the south and Weishui in the north.

Although there is no Huashan here, there is a Shaohua Mountain.

Shaohua is green, Weishui is beautiful, and the wind of a gentleman is long.

According to legend, Shaohua Mountain and Taihua Mountain, that is, Xiyue Huashan, are a pair of handmaidens in the imperial garden of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Palace, and the Huarong Fairy and the Huafu Fairy are manifested in the earth.

Because Huashan is 5,000 miles high, he was named the lord of Taihua by the Jade Emperor, and he was crowned with five mountains, and Shaohua Mountain was four thousand high, and he was named the assistant of Taihua and was given the name Shaohua.

The main peak of Shaohua Mountain is composed of three parallel and closely connected mountains, which the locals call the East Peak, the Middle Peak and the West Peak.

The west peak is Wulong Mountain, also known as Maling Mountain.

The west peak is slightly lower than the middle peak, there is a stone cave on the peak, it seems to be dug artificially, it is more than two zhang long, and it is dark inside, and it is like the wind.

According to legend, there was a tiger hidden in the cave, so it is also called the Crouching Tiger Cave.

The peak is overgrown with shrubs, pines and cypresses, white clouds, and strange rocks stand.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, there is Weishui in the north, winding east, seeing the ups and downs of thousands of mountains in the south, reaching heaven and earth.

Looking at Taihua Mountain in the east, towering in the clouds, Wei E is upright, looking at the wind and smoke in the west, and the confusion is endless.

"Ninth Prince, let's fix it here for a few days."

This place was led by the eldest grandson Huanting, she had followed her master once a few years ago, especially this Crouching Tiger Cave, which is also an inaccessible place.

Li Zhi naturally let it go, he also understood the eldest grandson Huanting's thoughts, since she got the strange box two days ago, the little girl has been thinking about finding a suitable place.

Look at the west peak of this Shaohua Mountain, although the aura is not as rich as the Jingwei intersection, it is also a rare place to cultivate.

The Crouching Tiger Cave was naturally left to Li Zhi, and Qin Huaiyu and the eldest grandson Huanting skillfully set up two tents in front of the cave.

Unfortunately, although the west peak is not too high, the section near the summit is very steep, and it is impossible to bring the horses up, so three people can only carry the necessary tents and luggage on foot.

The eldest grandson, Huanting and Lao Ma, found a mountain spring halfway up the mountain on the north side of the West Peak, which stored enough water for three people.

"Ninth Prince, you stay outside, I need to arrange two formations here, one can gather aura, and the other can block the strange fragrance of that object."

The eldest grandson, Huanting, followed the master at the age of six, and in addition to practicing her own martial arts every day, she also learned a lot of miscellaneous things.

However, it was the first time she had arranged a similar "Spirit Gathering Array", after all, she had not yet reached the innate Qi cultivation stage.

Qin Huaiyu cleaned up the food and drink of the three people on the side, while Li Zhi stood there and watched the eldest grandson Huanting set up the formation.

It's a pity that after the eldest grandson Huanting completely laid out the formation, Li Zhi didn't see any clues.

I saw that she was constantly fiddling with some stones, with words in her mouth, and complex techniques in her hands, which made Li Zhi even more curious about her teacher.

"Nine Princes, there are no suitable materials here, so you can only do it like this, as long as you don't reach the 'channel' realm, these two formations should be enough."

The eldest grandson Huanting said, and did not forget to secretly check Li Zhi's face.

She already knew that Li Zhi could cultivate, and it seemed that she was not affected by the "Heavenly Leakage Body" at all, but she didn't know what level Li Zhi had reached.

With her skills comparable to the innate realm, she still has less than the upper hand in every competition between the two, which makes the little girl very depressed.

He is two years older than Li Zhi, and he has followed a famous teacher since he was a child, even in his own sect, he is also the existence of the lady of the sky, but he was compared to His Royal Highness the King of Jin in front of him.

"Okay, you two should be curious about what realm I am, right? Since I have brought you out with me, I will be my true own person from now on, and I will no longer hide it from you. ”

"Although I am a 'Heavenly Leaky Body', I first had the treatment of the divine doctor Sun Simiao, taught the secret of the master's secret 'Five Fowl Opera', and then had the support of Uncle Qin, and the generous help of Kong Sacrifice Wine."

"Now it can barely be regarded as both civil and military cultivation, and there is no academic Tao or martial cultivation, which can only break through the innate realm."

Although it is said that the two are their own people, Li Zhi's real secret must not be leaked.

He reported the names of Sun Simiao, Qin Qiong, and Kong Yingda, which was nothing more than pulling the banner and pulling the tiger's skin, which could not only annotate his double innate realm, but also cover up the true situation in his body.

Now, Li Zhi naturally knows that in addition to soul wearing, the weird pocket gun in the dantian is his biggest secret and dependence.

It's a pity, after thinking about it all these years, he still hasn't figured out what kind of gun it is?

Looking through the entire history, and even adding the mythical world, it seems that there is no such a miniature version of the weird little gun, right?

"Nine Princes, you ...... Is what you're saying true? Cultivating both civil and military, and both broke through the 'innate realm'? ”

Li Zhi's words suddenly made Qin Huaiyu and the eldest grandson Huanting lose their big teeth.

Qin Huaiyu can be regarded as a person with outstanding qualifications, and he is from a Jiangmen family, and he has a father who is a "martial arts god", and now he can reach the middle level of "Huajin" at the age of fourteen, which has made many young people envious.

The eldest grandson Huanting also has a proud talent, since she was a child, she was included in the door wall by a hidden master, and even used a rare natural treasure to enter the great consummation of "Huajin" at the age of fourteen.

And now, Li Zhi actually said that he was both civil and military, and he was already born?

How old is he?

The question is, even if he was able to practice, it would only take him a few years?

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed by them, and habitually rubbed his nose, not knowing how to explain it to them.

"Nine sons forgive me, we have no intention of inquiring into your privacy ......"

In the end, Qin Huaiyu knows more about human feelings than the eldest grandson Huanting, and when he saw Li Zhi's somewhat embarrassed appearance, he thought that although the person in front of him called himself "Brother Huaiyu" all day long, he was really His Royal Highness the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother Huaiyu doesn't have to be like this, the pheasant slave has this achievement, to a large extent, it is created by the 'Five Fowl Opera', I passed on a few sets to the two of you, you must practice diligently."

"Now that the formation is arranged, let's take a look at what good things are in this box."

In order to avoid the embarrassment of the two, Li Zhi hurriedly diverted the topic and walked towards the Crouching Tiger Cave, while Qin Huaiyu and the eldest grandson Huanting consciously stayed outside the cave.

"Brother Huaiyu, Miss Wanting, why don't you two come in?"

This formation is really magical, as soon as Li Zhi entered the Crouching Tiger Cave, he could clearly feel that the aura here was at least twice as much as that outside the cave.

Although it is still not as good as the intersection of Jing and Wei, it is also very rare, and it makes him envious of the eldest grandson Huanting's "Gathering Spirit Array".

Moreover, just outside the Crouching Tiger Cave, he couldn't see the scene inside the cave at all, and he couldn't even find the existence of the cave entrance, but when he looked out from the cave, it was clear at a glance.

When he looked back, he found that Qin Huaiyu and the eldest grandson Huanting did not come in with him, which made Li Zhi a little surprised.

"Nine Princes, what is contained in that box is a rare thing between heaven and earth, and it is the creation of Nine Princes."

"Open the box, the aroma is overflowing, the ninth prince can cultivate normally on the side, this thing can not only help to refine the muscles and bones, but also multiply the formation of the true qi internal force in the body, which can be described as a real effort with half the effort."

"It also has the greatest effect, which helps to break through the great realm, but it will not leave hidden dangers, and there is no risk at all."

"The Ninth Prince is gifted, and he is a person with profound blessings, I will be outside to protect the Dharma for you, and I hope that the Ninth Prince will improve his magic skills as soon as possible——"

Qin Huaiyu was out of his own cultivation and respect for Li Zhi's identity, but the eldest grandson Huanting really knew the value of the object, so the two of them coincidentally stayed outside the cave.

"Haha, you guys, it's just a dead thing, no matter how precious it is, is it still comparable to the friendship we get along?"

"Brother Huaiyu, Miss Wanting, come in for this king-"

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Huanting, Li Zhi felt warm in his heart.

In this way, he would not swallow this opportunity alone, and even took out the tone of His Royal Highness the King of Jin to order the two.

"Your Highness, this-"

The two were a little embarrassed.

"Brother Huaiyu, Miss Wanting, if being a pheasant slave is a friend, and friends have the friendship of wealth, how can a pheasant slave enjoy this wonderful thing exclusively?"

"If the pheasant slave is the king of Jin, then it should be the order of the king, you two are now lowly in skills, how can you protect the king in the future?"

Well, in order to let these two people in, Li Zhi even used the agitation method.

"In that case, I'll thank His Royal Highness King Jin for your kindness—"

Having said that, Qin Huaiyu and the eldest grandson Huanting are not good at insisting.

Deep down, why don't they have a heart that wants to be strong?

There is nothing in the Crouching Tiger Cave, but fortunately, it is still dry, and with the light of the cave entrance, it is enough to ensure normal vision.

There is not so much attention to going out, the three of them sat on the ground in the finished font, and Li Zhi took out the box and placed it in the middle.

"Miss Wanting, you are the only one here who is well-informed, can you tell me what this thing is?"

In the past two days, this box has been in Li Zhi's arms, but he has endured it and has not opened it.

When he vaguely guessed the identity of the old man, he already had a rough judgment about the strange fragrance in the box.

Now, when he arrives at the Crouching Tiger Cave, he needs the eldest grandson Huanting to reveal this answer, or it can be regarded as supporting the identity of the old man from the side.

"Nine Princes, have you ever heard of 'ambergris'?"

The eldest grandson asked lightly, but anyone could see that her heart was as excited as her eyes at this time.

Of course, Li Zhi knew ambergris, and he also knew a completely different source and efficacy.

However, he knew very well that this was a world where he could practice, so the ambergris here would probably be extraordinary.

"What? Sister Wan Ting, you said this is actually 'ambergris'? ”

Li Zhi didn't give an answer, and Qin Huaiyu on the side was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

"Ambergris" is also known as dragon belly incense, its color is black and brown such as amber, sometimes there are multicolored markings, it is an opaque solid wax-like gum block, it has a long-lasting aroma when burned, and there is a unique sweet and earthy fragrance.

Legend has it that ambergris is a dried product that forms secretions in the dragon's body, carrying a trace of the dragon's essence.

The dragon clan is not only born with hard muscles and bones, but also the master of all beasts back then, and has an innate suppression of all living beings in the world in the bloodline.

And this ambergris is formed in the body of the dragon, it is said that it only produces about one or two every hundred years, and according to the different types and levels of dragons, the effect of ambergris is also uneven.

However, even the ambergris incense formed in the body of the lowest-level Jiaolong was enough to cause the major sects and cultivators to rush wildly.

This is also why, as soon as the eldest grandson Huanting judged this thing, she hurriedly and rudely stopped Li Zhi from opening the box.

Qin Huaiyu is also a family scholar in martial arts, so he naturally heard about this thing from his father Qin Qiong, but he didn't expect that the original legendary spiritual object would appear in front of him today.

"Ninth Prince, please open the box-"

When Li Zhi completely opened the box, all of a sudden, the entire Crouching Tiger Cave was filled with this rich strange fragrance, and even made people feel drowsy.

"I didn't expect it to be the saliva of the karmic dragon, I'm afraid this thing can't weigh half a catty, right?"

The karma dragon, according to legend, is the descendant of the Jade Emperor's sister Linfan, who was born after making peace with monsters in the mortal world.

The ambergris in the box is extremely smooth, and there seems to be a hint of crimson lingering on the black-brown plastida.

"Brother Huaiyu, Miss Wanting, since this thing is very rare, let's start cultivating later-"

When Li Zhi opened the box, he felt that the weird pocket gun in the dantian "woke up" excitedly.

He looked impatient, like a hungry child seeing a sweet and delicious pastry.

The weird pocket gun, when some eagerly wanted to break out of the body, was pulled by two clouds of gas, one black and one white, from below.

Li Zhi didn't dare to slack off, he was really afraid that this guy who didn't know the severity would run out, and scare Qin Huaiyu and the eldest grandson Huanting were still second, he was worried that his dantian would be abolished.

Strange to say, this weird pocket gun has also been in his dantian for five years, and now Li Zhi even feels that it seems to have merged with himself.

Li Zhi sat cross-legged and began to continuously absorb the aura around him, and the rich and strange fragrance of ambergris was naturally sucked into his body by Li Zhi.

Once it enters the body, runs along the meridians of the body for a big week, and then converges in the dantian, it is "forced" by the hateful pocket gun.

After absorbing it himself, he released a trace from the tail of the gun, which caused a burst of crazy robbery of the black and white gases below.

Then, the black and white gas is absorbed and digested, discharged again, and dispersed to the holes around the body, and the black and white gas itself seems to be more condensed.

What the hell is this?

Witnessing everything in his body, Li Zhi was speechless.

Others are leading their own cultivation, and by the time Li Zhi came here, he had already been reduced to a poor porter.

Obviously, it was the black and white air mass formed by his own civil and military cultivation and reaching the innate realm, but at this time, he even grovelled to become the little brother of the weird little gun for a bite to eat?

Li Zhi began his "aggrieved" cultivation, and Qin Huaiyu and the eldest grandson Huanting were not idle, and they all ran their own exercises, greedily absorbing the aroma of ambergris.

It's just that the two of them are limited by the realm, and they can't actively absorb the aura around them, at most they can only passively be nourished by the aura.

The three of them were all cultivating with their eyes closed, but they didn't see that three obvious cyclones had formed in the Crouching Tiger Cave, and the cyclone around Li Zhi was much larger than the other two.

The speed at which Li Zhi absorbed the aroma of ambergris was even ten times that of Qin Huaiyu and the others, and the time passed bit by bit, and the sky gradually darkened.

The golden black fell in the west, and the jade rabbit rose in the east.

The white moonlight sprinkled all over the earth, and there seemed to be a cool, faint breath, torn off from the moon, through the protective array outside the Crouching Tiger Cave, and floated into the cave.

Unceremoniously found Li Zhi, and along with the surrounding aura and aroma, he entered Li Zhi's body.

It's a pity that at this time, Li Zhi has already entered the realm of forgetting things and me, and he is not aware of the visions that have occurred in his body.

......

"Sister Huanting, I broke through - I didn't expect me to enter the 'Innate Realm' one step ahead of my eldest brother!"

Three days later, Qin Huaiyu and the eldest grandson Huanting woke up from their cultivation one after another and found that they had both stepped into the innate realm.

Especially the eldest grandson Huanting, she actually reached the late congenital stage in one fell swoop, and she was one step away from congenital consummation.

And her own exercises, also unexpectedly broke through to the realm of "sword heart clearing", the next step is the "death pass", even the master has not yet broken through the "death pass", will she surpass the master in the future?

Such a rapid speed made the eldest grandson Huanting a little uncomfortable for a while, and hurriedly secretly used Xuangong and restrained her mind.

Even when she reached the innate realm, she didn't dare to absorb the aura around her for the time being, for fear that the realm would be unstable and she would go mad.

Another three days passed.

"Sister Huanting, why hasn't the ninth prince woken up yet?"

Both of them have entered the congenital situation, and they have not eaten for several days to support themselves, but they are a little uncomfortable without water to drink.

At this time, Li Zhi was still immersed in his own world, and saw that the ambergris in the box was only the size of a thumb cap.

Qin Huaiyu and the eldest grandson Huanting of course, of course, wanted to go outside the cave to forage for food, or come back with some water.

It's a pity that they didn't dare to go out, and outside the Crouching Tiger Cave, I don't know when it was full of all kinds of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards.

Over and over again, passing through the mouth of the Crouching Tiger Cave, it seems to be rummaging for something......
