Chapter 30: A grim face
In the wooden house, Zhao Ping'an sat on the ground, his immortal mana was long and deep, exuding an amazing aura.
He held the Yin Gathering Stone in his hand, and under the effect of the Immortal Pagoda, the surging Yin Qi was continuously transformed into the pure spiritual energy he needed.
Zhao Ping'an's face was calm, and there was a faint layer of brilliance around his body, and even his hair became crystal clear.
"The second layer of the Immortal Sword Technique."
Feeling the immortal mana in his body, Zhao Ping'an slowly opened his eyes, his eyes dark and deep.
There was a hint of surprise on his face, he didn't expect that after this period of hard work, he would actually cultivate the Immortal Sword Technique to the second layer in advance.
Originally, according to Zhao Ping'an's prediction, at least he would not be able to reach this stage until his cultivation entered the sixth layer of qi refining.
"Most of it is the energy of the Yin Gathering Stone, after the transformation of the Immortal Pagoda, the spiritual power is purer than that of ordinary spirit stones, and with the blessing of the cultivation experience of the previous life, it is why I have accelerated my breakthrough to the second layer of the Immortal Sword Technique."
After Zhao Ping'an thought for a while, he quickly understood the reason.
At this moment, he could clearly feel that the immortal mana in his body was very strong, several times stronger than before. When he hadn't broken through before, the immortal mana was like a trickle of barely enough. Now after the breakthrough, the immortal mana in the body is like a rushing river, and it has been qualitatively improved.
I don't know if it was influenced by the exercises, or if Zhao Ping'an's heart was as steady as an old dog, although the exercises had made corresponding breakthroughs, he did not show the slightest joy.
"Sure enough, after being promoted to the second layer, the effect of immortal mana began to be revealed, and as the mana traveled among the limbs and bones, the flesh and skin became more vibrant, and even the blood qi became more vigorous."
Zhao Ping'an silently realized the changes in himself, and soon realized the amazing effect of immortal mana.
Of course, the power of immortal mana is not only this, with the blessing of long and profound immortal mana, it can increase the staying power of Zhao Ping'an's fighting with people a lot, and the recovery ability is also stronger than ordinary people, and even with the blessing of immortal mana, it can also avoid the erosion of toxins.
"It's a pity that there is no progress in cultivation, otherwise if I can enter the sixth layer of qi refining, my strength will be improved even more."
Zhao Ping'an showed a hint of regret, this is the defect of cultivating the "Immortal Sword Technique", and the cultivation is several times slower than ordinary exercises.
This is still the result of his blessing from various factors, otherwise, if he were an ordinary person cultivating this technique, he would not have thought of being promoted to the level he is at for ten years.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter outside the window, Zhao Ping'an did not continue to cultivate, but got up and went out with a broom.
"Peace."
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, Zhao Ping'an saw Wang Cripple.
Compared with before, Wang Cripple's spirit has been much better recently, and since he escorted a trip without danger, he has earned a lot of spirit stones.
Relying on the accumulation of those spirit stones, Wang Cripple broke through the original realm and stepped into the fourth layer of qi refining.
His qualifications are mediocre, and it is already good to be able to have such a realm.
"Senior Brother Wang, you are in good spirits today."
Zhao Ping'an joked with a smile.
"Look at what you said, I'm in good spirits every day."
The lame king laughed and responded.
Since the last escort mission, the relationship between the two has been one step closer, and every day they are sweeping the floor and bragging.
"That's right, peace."
"Have you heard about it lately? Something happened again in the medicine garden. ”
Zhao Ping'an, who was sweeping the floor, suddenly heard Wang Cripple lower his tone and whispered.
"Oh?"
Zhao Ping'an came with a hint of interest.
He knew the character of the lame man, if it was just gossip and anecdotes between ordinary brothers and sisters, he would not let the former show such an appearance.
"I heard that in the past few days, several miscellaneous disciples in the medicine garden have disappeared for no reason."
"Sun Fatzi sent people to track down for many days, but there was no progress at all."
"Now the miscellaneous disciples in the medicine garden are panicking, and they all say that there may be demons in the medicine garden again."
The lame king's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice.
"Haunted?"
Zhao Ping'an shook his head secretly, there is a formation blessing in the medicine garden, and since the last red-eyed black ape incident, it has repaired the possible formation loopholes, according to reason, this possibility is almost zero.
"Ping'an, don't go out alone recently, it is said that those missing miscellaneous disciples all left the residence alone and did not know what happened, I always feel that this matter is not simple."
Wang Cripple said his advice, now that the Sword Sect and the Frost Moon Sect are fighting fiercely, the medicine garden is not peaceful, after all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
"Senior Brother Wang, don't worry, I'll pay more attention."
Zhao Ping'an nodded, knowing that Wang Cripple was a kind reminder.
The other side.
In a heavily guarded attic, Sun Fatzi was kneeling on one knee, and not far in front of him, there was a figure sitting, half of his body hidden in the darkness, unable to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"In just five days, six miscellaneous disciples have disappeared for no reason, but you haven't investigated a single useful clue."
The Medicine Garden Guard's tone was a little low, with a hint of obvious displeasure.
Now that the sect and the Frost Moon Sect are at war, the Medicine Garden has sent a lot of miscellaneous disciples to the front line to assist in logistics support, but now is the time when there is the greatest shortage of people, and there are incidents of miscellaneous disciples disappearing one after another.
Even though the caretaker of the medicine garden was calm, he was inevitably a little anxious at the moment.
"Lord Guard, please rest assured, I have sent someone to continue to investigate, and I believe that it will not be long before there will be a result."
Sun Fatzi was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly swore an oath.
"Sun Fatzi, my patience is limited, I will only give you the last two days, if there is no result, don't blame me for removing your position."
The guard's tone was cold, with a hint of threat, and he said.
"I'm going to live up to my promise."
Fat Sun took a deep breath and reassured.
"Alright, stand down."
The medicine garden guard waved his hand, signaling that Sun Fatzi could leave.
"Lord Guard, this is a subordinate specially arranged for the subordinates to make medicinal food for you, there are precious medicinal materials in it, please smile and accept it, it will be my apology."
Hearing this, Sun Fatzi did not retreat immediately, but served a bowl of steaming medicinal food.
"You are attentive, let the medicinal food go."
The caretaker of the medicine garden did not refuse, almost every once in a while, he had to take medicinal food to regulate his body, and Sun Fatzi knew this well, so he would prepare in advance every time.
It is precisely because of this that the caretaker of the medicine garden will give Sun Fatzi three points of weight, otherwise, he would have been removed from his position a long time ago.
"Feng Shui takes turns, and there are only two days left for you to point fingers."
Walking out of the house, the flattery on Sun Fatzi's face disappeared, and was replaced by a touch of cruelty.
