023. Hidden so deeply

Following.

The sun is rising.

The mountain was filled with thick fog, and from time to time you could hear the roars of some beasts echoing in your ears.

As soon as Xu Yuan woke up, he saw that Ning Ke was still sitting in front of the boulder where the medicinal liquid was placed, staring intently at the jade cup, and his back looked a little thin.

Ning Ke turned his head in a voice, "Are you awake?" How did you sleep? ”

"Not bad, you didn't sleep?"

Xu Yuan nodded suspiciously, this woman won't stay overnight, right?

"I can't sleep, this medicine is here, what if there are unsightly mountain spirits coming in the middle of the night? I can't let go of this heart. ”

Ning Ke explained, looking at Xu Yuan with some expectation.

"You're almost rested, aren't you? If this liquid is placed here, will the medicinal power be lost? ”

Listening to the implicit urging in Ning Ke's words, Xu Yuan glanced at the sky and said with a smile: "Don't worry, wait a while." ”

"Uh-huh."

Ning Ke nodded, "It's all up to you." ”

Xu Yuan came to the stone platform, checked the medicinal liquid, and after confirming that it was correct, he sat down and waited on the side.

Neither of them spoke, and there was some silence for a while.

Ning Ke wanted to speak several times, but finally didn't say anything.

The look on his face also became a little anxious.

Just when she couldn't help but speak, Xu Yuan finally opened her eyes.

At this time, the sky was already bright, the thick fog gradually disappeared, and the sky was hazy with purple.

"It's time."

Xu Yuan said silently and stood up.

Seeing this, Ning Ke hurriedly stepped aside.

Xu Yuan looked at the three drops of refined medicinal liquid in the jade cup, and pointed a little, and the mana lingered around his fingertips, turning into a little spark, and the temperature suddenly increased greatly.

The spiritual sense manipulated the mana, bringing together the three drops of the liquid medicine, condensing in mid-air, constantly rotating and merging.

Without an alchemy furnace, when the pill is formed, the liquid medicine is exposed to the sun, and it is easy to be disturbed by the spiritual breath of the outside world to the fusion effect, which will greatly increase the failure rate.

Xu Yuan could only rely on the spiritual sense and control he had improved these days, and he could concentrate on observing every change after the fusion of the medicinal liquid, and then adjust the mana and the fusion process.

Fortunately, the method of becoming a pill recorded in this Danxia alchemy is more subtle than ordinary alchemy, otherwise it would have failed at the beginning.

But this process of Cheng Dan takes a lot of time, and it requires a lot of mana and spiritual sense.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan broke through to the sixth layer of Qi training, otherwise it wouldn't have lasted so long.

"Why is Xu Yuan's mana so deep, this is not the fourth layer of Qi training, he is the fifth layer of Qi training?"

Ning Ke stood aside, staring at this scene intently, and his heart was a little shocked.

Ever since Xu Yuan broke through the fourth layer, she had been unable to know Xu Yuan's realm for sure, and she couldn't see through his cultivation.

Originally, she thought that Xu Yuan was the same as her, a fourth-level Qi cultivator.

But the mana that Xu Yuan displayed at this moment was far from being comparable to the four layers.

This made her wonder, when did Xu Yuan break through the fifth layer?

"Could it be that he has been hiding his strength all along?"

Ning Ke was a little incomprehensible.

Of course, she wouldn't believe that Xu Yuan had broken through two levels in quick succession in just a few months.

And in the world.

The only possibility is that Xu Yuan has cultivated the Breathing Technique, and it is not until today that he has completely exposed his strength.

Then why did he return to the world and marry a mortal? Just plain lustful? ”

Ning Ke couldn't figure this out.

However, although she was puzzled, she did not mean to ask.

Everyone has secrets they don't want to tell.

But she was a little worried that Xu Yuan's strength was so strong, what if she regretted it later?

With Xu Yuan's strength, she is not an opponent at all.

"No, if he had repented, he would have repented a long time ago, why did he bring me here......"

Ning Ke was a little relieved, Xu Yuan didn't kill people for alchemy and snatch her spirit stone, which had already proved that Xu Yuan was not the kind of desperate evil cultivator.

On the contrary, she was a little lucky.

If Xu Yuan's strength is higher, then the success rate of alchemy will be higher, which undoubtedly shows that she has found the right person.

Time passed little by little, and soon three days passed.

Cheng Dan continued, Xu Yuan's mana had been consumed by half, and there were fine sweat dripping on his forehead, which looked a little difficult.

The elixir has already condensed into a rudimentary form, dripping and turning, with the fragrance of medicine, and it is about to succeed.

Ning Ke had been guarding the side, with a sad look on his face.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was an explosion.

The pill in front of Xu Yuan exploded violently, and it fell short.

This sudden voice startled Ning Ke's body and was startled.

Xu Yuan watched the exploding pill fall to the ground, and his teeth were a little sore.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, he was still unable to concentrate on the details because of the consumption of spiritual consciousness too much, and there was a little mistake at the critical moment, which led to failure.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

"Failed ......"

Xu Yuan turned his head to look at Ning Ke and said helplessly.

Ning Ke looked pity and shook his head, "It's okay, this is just the beginning!" Failure is a common occurrence, so take a break first. ”

"Hey, no, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Yuan found that Ning Ke seemed to be a little different from before, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Nope."

Ning Ke hurriedly shook his head, "What's wrong?" Am I wrong? ”

"No, I feel like your reaction is a bit abnormal......" Xu Yuanhu looked at Ning Ke suspiciously.

Ning Ke didn't dare to look at Xu Yuan's gaze, and denied: "How can it, then what do you think my reaction should be?" ”

Xu Yuan thought for a while and said, "Hmm...... With your slamming temperament, so many medicinal materials have been consumed, although you don't want to scold me, but at least you have to show the appearance of your real food, right? ”

It turns out that in your eyes, there is only one thing left to pick the door, Ning Ke rolled his eyes.

Normally, it does.

But since she found out that Xu Yuan was a fifth-level Qi practitioner, she was still a little worried about offending Xu Yuan, so she didn't dare to show it too obviously.

The hearts of the people in the immortal cultivation world are unpredictable, and she and Xu Yuan are only in a cooperative relationship now.

Before, you could open your mouth unscrupulously, and that's because they are all four layers of Qi training.

Now, she doesn't feel that her relationship with Xu Yuan is so good that she won't be angry if she says anything.

Xu Yuan thought about it for a while, and then understood the truth, and suddenly realized.

When he was refining the pill, he really couldn't hide his cultivation, and it was normal for him to be discovered by Ning Ke.

"It seems that you know everything, so I won't hide it, but I think it's still you before, it's a little more interesting."

"Don't worry, I'm far from being the kind of person who bullies, you cooperate with me and give me alchemy, so I have a little kindness, I'm not so stingy."

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Ning Ke turned his head and looked at Xu Yuan, "Really? ”

"Nature." Xu Yuan smiled slightly.

Ning Ke's heart was quietly relieved, and the original worry of being afraid of exposing Xu Yuan's secret disappeared, and he sighed, "You are hiding it so deeply." ”

I also wanted to ask, Xu Yuan's talent was obviously not worse than himself, why did he go to the world, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak.

Xu Yuan smiled without saying a word, without explanation, and said with a slight teasing: "I'm better than you now, right?" I can always like you, right? ”

"How? Look at me or not? Why don't you become a Taoist couple? ”

Although she understood that Xu Yuan was ridiculing what she said before, "I don't like people who are weaker than me", Ning Ke's pretty face was still inevitably red, but she was a little unwilling to show weakness, and said with a stiff neck: "Don't!" ”

After saying that, he fled and left the place.

Xu Yuan looked at Ning Ke's back who was gradually moving away, and smiled slightly, it seems that the day when he marries a fairy will not be too far.

But, when I think that I am poor and white now, and if I want to marry a fairy, I have to have the capital.

Looking at the medicine residue scattered on the ground, Xu Yuanpan sat on the ground, closed his eyes and recovered.

After becoming an alchemist, you can earn more spirit stones and marry more fairies!

In life, there must be a pursuit, right?
