Chapter 28: Discovery Tracking
……
Xu Chen and the three of them naturally didn't know that as soon as the Soul Restoration Wood blossomed, the Great Elder ran to the Yuqing Hall to ask the master to prepare for alchemy.
Of course, the people of the Yuqing Hall didn't know that the soul restoration wood was really resurrected before death, and it completely withered after a few days of returning to the light.
At the moment, I don't know what the Great Elder will feel when he goes back and see that the Soul Resurrection Wood is dead, and whether he will have the urge to hang himself and be buried.
However, these have nothing to do with Xu Chen and the others, and they can even get three bottles of Xiao Yuan Dan when they go shopping, which is as exciting as timely rain for their current state of being poor and smoking.
Even Senior Brother Jiu, who has always been full of disdain for Yuqing Palace, kept sighing about the demeanor of the famous family, he is indeed a model in the fairy world, true love in the world, and he is worthy of flattery.
Three bottles of Xiao Yuan Dan add up to ten spirit stones.
What's more, the alchemists of the Yuqing Hall are even more skilled, and the quality of these Xiao Yuan Pills is obviously much better than that refined by the three elders, and they can be clearly distinguished just by looking at the color and breath.
Senior Brother Jiu said with a smile: "It seems that I will go to the Treasure Pavilion a few more times in the future, and maybe I can prostitute a few more bottles of pills for nothing." ”
Zhao Xuan snorted and said, "Senior brother, you are an immortal, can you not look like a hooligan." ”
The ninth senior brother said righteously: "How can the eldest husband go back on his word, can't!" ”
Zhao Xuan took his hand to pinch Senior Brother Jiu's arm, and when the two were fighting, Xu Chen's footsteps suddenly stopped for half a beat.
"Little junior brother, what happened?" Zhao Xuan was more keen, stopped and asked in a low voice.
Xu Chen let go of his divine sense and carefully searched the area of Baizhang, but found nothing, so he quickly withdrew his divine sense and said to Senior Brother Jiu and Zhao Xuan:
"I felt a hint of divine consciousness just now, but it disappeared in an instant."
Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There are not a few cultivators in the Jingshi, and there are more Xianmen monks who wish the emperor his birthday at the moment, maybe one of them is passing by and inadvertently releasing his divine sense to explore the environment." ”
Xu Chen shook his head and said with a serious face: "I am slightly familiar with this divine sense, when I left Wuyang late at night, I once discovered this divine sense, I only thought it was an illusion, but today I found it again, then it is definitely not an illusion." ”
When Senior Brother Jiu heard this, his face instantly became solemn, and his divine sense transmitted: "Little Senior Brother thinks it's someone from the Purple Yang Sect? ”
Xu Chen nodded slightly.
The lively emotions of the three of them calmed down in an instant, and Zhao Xuan wondered: "This is a little strange, this person followed us in Wuyang, why did he follow all the way to Jingshi without making a move, it's too strange." ”
Senior Brother Jiu thought for a while and seemed to relax a lot, and said: "It seems that the other party's strength is not very strong, and we must have been a little afraid of killing a companion from the True Yuan Realm, so he followed and monitored us all the way, and he must be looking for another opportunity." ”
Xu Chen also roughly understood, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then what should we do now." ”
Senior Brother Jiu said: "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves, since we have discovered them, we naturally have to find out and kill them." ”
Zhao Xuan said: "I'm afraid it's not easy, the little junior brother found the other party's divine consciousness twice, and you and I didn't find it, it can be seen that the other party's strength is also very strong, at least it is also a strong person in the True Yuan Realm, even if it is found, the three of us are afraid that we can't deal with it, if it wasn't for the little junior brother's divine consciousness attack last time, we are afraid that we are all dead." ”
Senior Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "Then you need to think of more ways, since he was timid and didn't do it directly, it means that his strength should not be stronger than the one last time, and he didn't help last time, so it can be seen that his mind is not very pure." ”
Xu Chen was puzzled: "Senior brother is saying that this guy wants to swallow the elixir alone?" ”
Senior Brother Jiu bared his teeth and smiled: "That's natural, the treasure is current, and the same senior brother can't be betrayed." ”
Xu Chen suddenly subconsciously took two steps back, looking at Senior Brother Nine with a wary face.
Senior Brother Nine was suddenly embarrassed, touched the back of his head and said with a dry smile: "Senior brother, don't worry, our senior brothers in Taiyuan Gate are affectionate, and they will definitely sacrifice themselves to save each other." ”
Zhao Xuan lightly kicked Senior Brother Jiu and said, "When are you still kidding, this person is good at concealing divine sense, but it is not easy to find out." ”
The Ninth Master said seriously: "That's true, it seems that if you want to find this guy, you have to take action from the junior brother, your divine sense is stronger than ours." ”
Xu Chen smiled bitterly: "As long as he really appears, I may be able to find him, but he is very careful, his divine sense is fleeting every time, and the person is not within the range of a hundred zhang, I can't track it at all." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Chen released his divine sense and carefully swept the distance within a hundred zhang again, and then said: "In addition, I am worried that they already know about the Blood God Grass, so this matter must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be many dreams at night." ”
Senior Brother Nine and Zhao Xuan glanced at each other, then nodded together, and the three of them exchanged a few words with their divine senses, and then left quickly.
After feeling that they were being followed, the three of them suddenly became vigilant, and simply stopped shopping and went straight back to the inn.
Although he accidentally got three bottles of Xiao Yuan Dan in the Treasure Pavilion and made a fortune out of thin air, he was in a refreshed mood for a while, but after being refreshed, he was even more disappointed.
Taiyuan Gate is also a Xianmen dojo with a head and a face in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is a high-ranking existence in the eyes of loose cultivators and mortals, but compared with the wealthy Yuqing Palace, it is completely a local chicken and tile dog, which can be described as shabby.
Even when the three of them looked at the three bottles of Xiao Yuan Dan at this time, they actually had a kind of sadness like being beggar in handouts, and the previous excitement was gone.
The Treasure Pavilion is just a business in the mortal world at the outer gate of the Yuqing Palace, and although the things inside are also precious, they are actually just ordinary things that are common in the world of cultivating immortals.
But even these ordinary things that the Yuqing Palace couldn't look at, the three of them couldn't afford them.
"Damn, Yuqing Hall is also too deceitful!"
Senior Brother Nine walked back and forth in the room with his arms crossed, and he kept scolding and scolding with an unconvinced look in his mouth.
Zhao Xuan was angry and funny, teasing the little fox and playing, and said, "Senior brother, on the way back, you still praised Yuqing Hall like a flower, and in a blink of an eye, you scolded others again, this is too snobbish!" ”
Xu Chen also pouted and said: "If senior brother doesn't look down on this little Yuan Dan, give it to me first, I'm so poor now that I can't wait to go to Yuqing Hall and kneel and call Dad!" ”
Senior Brother Jiu squinted his eyes and threw Xiao Yuan Dan to Xu Chen and said, "I really don't like a bottle of Po Dan that has not been entered!" ”
After speaking, he took out a palm-sized animal skin bag full of mysterious patterns from his arms, stared at it for a long time with his divine sense, and finally sighed, sat on the chair and said: "There must be a lot of treasures in this storage bag, in addition to the Guiyuan Pill, maybe there are a lot of spirit stones and other treasures, alas, but unfortunately it can't be opened." ”
Xu Chen happily put away Xiao Yuandan and came over, took the storage bag from the hands of the ninth senior brother and stared at it for a moment, and also specially stimulated the blue jade beads in the sea of knowledge to impact the soul locking of the storage bag, but unfortunately there was no movement at all, but the face in the head was as painful as a pinprick for a while.
Since killing that Purple Sun Sect monk to get this storage bag, the three of them have been studying it as soon as they have time on the way to Jingshi, but unfortunately there is no way to do it for a few days.
Ziyang Sect is a large immortal gate of the Ming Kingdom, inherited for a long time, and has its own set of secret exercises and spell systems, although this storage bag seems inconspicuous, but the divine sense penetrates into it, it will be blocked by a compass formation composed of hundreds of runes, only with the unique method of Ziyang Sect can be unlocked, if forcibly destroyed, the contents inside will definitely explode into ashes in an instant.
Of course, if your own strength is strong enough, you can also use your divine sense to forcibly destroy this formation and open it, but in this way, this storage bag is very likely to be destroyed, and it will no longer be able to block the mouth of the bag, resulting in just like a little lady without clothes, the contents will be revealed in plain sight, and any monk may take it away.
The Ninth Senior Brother sighed for a while before getting up and saying, "No, we have to find a way to pry this storage bag open." ”
Zhao Xuan was surprised: "Senior brother, don't use force. ”
Senior Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Senior sister, don't worry, but it's definitely not okay to sit here in a daze, I have to go out and find some friends on the road to help find a way." ”
Xu Chen covered his forehead and reminded, "Senior brother, this storage bag is not visible. ”
Senior Brother Nine thought for a moment and threw the storage bag to Xu Chen and said: "Little junior brother, have a good rest in the inn, your soul is damaged, don't use your divine sense easily recently, if you want to deal with the people of the Ziyang Sect, you have to go all out in the end, I will go out with my senior sister to inquire about the recent movements in the fairy world, and at the same time go to several monk trading places to see if I can find a way to open the storage bag." ”
After hearing this, Zhao Xuan stuffed the little fox to Xu Chen and said: "It should be so, right now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, very passive, opening the storage bag is a small matter, we must find a way to deal with the Ziyang Sect, otherwise we will become more and more passive." ”
Although Xu Chen also wanted to go out with him to open his eyes, he thought that he really needed to rest and recover his soul in order to face the upcoming battle with the Ziyang Sect, so he nodded and put away the storage bag.
After the three of them briefly exchanged a few words with their divine senses, Senior Brother Nine and Zhao Xuan left the inn together.
Xu Chen lay down on the bed, put the little fox with the black bead on his forehead, and then closed his eyes and began to absorb the energy of the black bead, and at the same time silently used the Xuangong to breathe in and see the cultivation of stitches.
Cultivation is on the way, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Just like ordinary people exercising, if you don't practice for a few days, you will start to lose weight.
The Kaiyuan Realm mainly relies on the exercises to condense the innate essence scattered in the five internal organs, muscles, bones, skin and flesh, and slowly comb it into the dantian, the sooner the process, the better, once the innate essence grows with the flesh and blood, and eventually disappears completely.
However, the meridian dantian of the Kaiyuan Realm has just been successfully opened up, and it is not stable, so it will be in a state of air leakage at any time, if you don't practice diligently, the vitality accumulated in the dantian will slowly dissipate.
Only after the foundation is built, the acupuncture points and meridian dantian of the whole body are completely cast into one, forming a closed vitality circulation system, so that the vitality will not leak, and then it can be concentrated on continuous accumulation, and finally condensed into a pill.
The three steps of refining and refining qi, refining qi, building a foundation, and forming a pill, although they are in the same line, if the innate essence is insufficient at the beginning, resulting in the development of the dantian is not large enough, and the final accumulation of vitality is not enough to bring about qualitative change, it will stop at the Kaiyuan realm, and no matter how good the pill is, it will not be able to help break through.
And once the foundation is successfully built, there will be a change that is almost reborn, and it will begin to really embark on the path.
Therefore, only monks in the foundation building period can be called real people, and generally have the honorific title of Tao.
Kaiyuan Realm, Shou Yuan is basically about a hundred years, but the True Yuan Realm, easy to live to one hundred and fifty years old, Shou Yuan increased by fifty percent, Dan Yuan Realm, Shou Yuan almost doubled, some people can live to more than three hundred years, and they are really immortal immortals in the eyes of mortals.
However, Xu Chen's qualifications are limited, although the innate essence is much stronger than ordinary people, but in the immortal cultivation world, it also belongs to a very rubbish physique.
But since they have embarked on this road, no one wants to give up halfway, as long as there is a slightest opportunity, they will fight and persevere, after all, immortality is an irresistible temptation for any living being, and no one will think that they will live a long life, unless they are impatient to live.
Treasure is precious, and life is more valuable. If it is for immortality, everything can be thrown away.
For monks, immortality is the only belief.
Xu Chen used to have some melancholy about his qualifications, but since he got the blue jade bead, he slowly found that maybe he didn't have a chance to build a successful foundation.
Because of his recent cultivation, he feels very relaxed and handy, not as difficult and obscure as before, and it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Especially after the black-clothed Taoist who faced the Ziyang Sect last time activated the jade bead twice, although the divine soul suffered from unparalleled pain and suffering, and even fell unconscious for a while, but after slowly recovering, he found that his divine soul was actually a lot stronger, and in the process of cultivation, the control of the condensation of the vitality and the operation of the magic method was also more subtle, and he could refine more innate essence hidden in the muscles, bones, flesh and internal organs into the qi sea.
Therefore, during this time, Xu Chen's interest in cultivation became even stronger.
He felt that as long as he continued to persevere, he would be able to reach the middle stage of the Kaiyuan Realm in half a month at most, and his strength would improve a lot at that time.
