Chapter 1: Youthful Sorrow
The fog was curling, but the sound of fighting and collision sounded in the quiet foggy hidden mountain, and the towering trees were affected and shaking, and the birds in the forest flew up to the sky, as if a catastrophe was coming. And the source of all this is a desperate running boy and a five-zhang long spirit snake chasing each other, the outlaw running young man is wearing gray clothes, a small gray cloth bag hanging from his waist, but his pale face shows an unconcealable joy, the young man is holding a black sword in his hand, the sword body exudes a faint black light, and a yellow rune paper attached to the young man's leg also flashes a faint light.
Behind the young man more than ten zhang away a black and brown spirit snake closely followed, suddenly, the spirit snake accelerated, in an instant the snake head was only one foot away from the young man, just when the snake head approached the young man's body, the young man seemed to have eyes behind his back, his legs moved slightly, at this time, the snake head that accelerated close to the foot of the young man slammed violently, and a large dirt pit appeared in this forest in a blink of an eye, it was really a little expert in digging pits.
The boy accelerated suddenly, and he couldn't avoid the impact from time to time, but it was not easy, which made the boy's originally pale face turn directly white, which was not like ordinary people, but also extended the distance to more than ten zhang again, and the same as before, the chase of this person and a snake seemed to have been rehearsed. After repeating it several times, the boy still desperately fled forward, jumping back and forth between the big tree and the ground, but the light of the rune paper on the boy's leg became even dimmer. The young man's eyebrows are already full of wrinkles, and it is completely possible for the little bugs to be caught between the eyebrows. The smile that couldn't be concealed on the young man's face has gradually disappeared, and now he is a young man's sorrow!
Besides, the spirit snake missed another blow, and the snake's eyes, which were already red, became more and more red, as if they were about to snatch out of their eyes, like two big lanterns, chasing the boy again, and the snake's mouth was wide open, as if it was going to swallow the boy into his stomach in one fell swoop, so as to stop.
The young man was worried, Yang Xian silently thought in his heart, this time he was really going to make a bloody investment. The young man named Yang Xian patted the small cloth bag on his waist without hesitation, and there was a light yellow rune paper in his hand, which was covered with strange symbols, the young man Yang Xian patted his chest, and a mouthful of thick blood spit on the rune paper, and the light yellow rune paper instantly turned red, ready to be completed, and then the boy instantly crashed from a tree to the ground, seeing this action, the instinctive feeling of the spirit snake chasing after him came, the spirit snake suddenly accelerated again, bit it, and the ground was hit and a big pit appeared again, It feels a little bigger than the previous pits. The spirit snake's attack failed again, but the spirit snake found that there was no tracking target in and around the pit, and the spirit snake let out a roar from its mouth, this roar was simply a kind of wail, and the listener was afraid.
10 miles away from the roaring sound, the yellow light on the ground flickered, and a young man with a pale face appeared, isn't it our teenager Yang Xian, it turned out that at the moment of life and death, Yang Xian stimulated a small earth escape charm with essence blood, and barely escaped a catastrophe, at this time, the magic talisman on his feet also lost its light and lost its utility, fortunately, he finally escaped, without the help of the small earth escape charm, Yang Xian estimated that his little life would be explained here.
Escaping is escaping, but as a third-layer immortal cultivator of qi refining, his current physical condition can only be said to be worse, the immortal veins and meridians all over his body have been greatly damaged, and the aura in his body is also completely lost, and it is a problem for the whole person to stand. But in order to survive, Yang Xian used the black magic sword in his hand as a support, and walked forward with extraordinary tenacity, he had to find a suitable place to heal immediately, otherwise this little life would really hang up.
Young Yang Xian is a member of the Xuanling Continent's immortal cultivators, and it is a matter of course to fight with spirit beasts, although he is covered with scars, his physical fitness after becoming an immortal cultivator who has been baptized by the aura of heaven and earth is still very strong. Yang Xian barely supported it for half an hour, and after walking for a long distance, Yang Xian found a dark natural small cliff cave, without any living creatures in the cave, and the space was barely enough for one person to survive.
The situation is urgent, although Yang Xian is an immortal cultivator, but there is no trace of aura in the immortal veins in his body, Yang Xian must recover the aura in his body as soon as possible, otherwise even basic survival will be a problem, not to mention that there is also a spirit snake chasing and killing, snake spirit beasts have a keen sense of smell, and it is possible to chase them again. Even if it is discovered by other immortal cultivators, it is really going to return to the underworld. In the world of cultivating immortals, killing people and grabbing treasures, taking advantage of the fire, this is a common thing, if Yang Xian has such an opportunity, he will not miss it, the cruelty of the immortal cultivation world can be seen.
Yang Xian reluctantly sat cross-legged, resisted the urge to faint and ran the sect's Zhongpin refining qigong method, "Jian Yuan True Solution", slowly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, and restoring the spiritual energy that had already been in deficit, although the recovery speed of meditation and cultivation in this way was very slow, and there was no pill spirit stone to come quickly, but this was the only remaining method at present, because all the stored pill spirit stones had already been exhausted in the process of escaping. With Yang Xian's concentration, the aura in the environment was gradually absorbed by the body, and the immortal veins that had long dried up were frantically absorbing wisps of aura in the air, but it seemed that it was not enough.
Two hours later, with the operation of "Jian Yuan True Solution", the aura entered the body, nourished itself, and the small life was finally saved, Yang Xian used the technique of divine inner vision to check the body, and the three glittering immortal veins in the body formed a small cycle with the dantian, these three immortal veins are different from the meridians that the human body itself has, and the immortal veins and the meridians are interdependent, but they are different from the ordinary inherent meridians. The immortal vein is a symbol of the immortal cultivator, and the flow of these three immortal veins is a faint aura, but now these three immortal veins are damaged, only a faint aura flows slowly in the immortal veins, and the flow speed is like stagnating, at the same time, there is almost no aura in the dantian, and it can only barely support the Zhou Tian cycle, so that the fragile cycle seems to be interrupted at any time.
The damage to Yang Xian's body caused by overdrawing his spiritual power was all-round, not only the three glittering immortal veins were damaged, but the meridians in the human body themselves were even more damaged, but the immortal veins nourished by more spiritual energy were stronger than the meridians.
After practicing for two hours through the operation of the exercises, the fragile Zhoutian cycle formed in the three glittering immortal veins also allowed the flow of aura in the immortal veins, allowing the immortal veins to feed back the meridians, and these spiritual qi in the immortal veins were repairing the damaged meridians of Yang Xian's body little by little, the meridians were the origin of the immortal veins, and if the meridians were damaged, the immortal veins would also be affected, and the immortal veins and the meridians were interdependent.
The process of repairing the meridians of the aura in the immortal vein is extremely slow, miserable, if it goes on according to this progress, it will take at least two years, even if it is supplemented with the aid of healing pills, it is estimated that it will take more than a year, this is still an ideal state, because this time in order to escape the pursuit of the spirit snake, constantly overdraft the potential of the body, and even finally had to use the essence blood to stimulate the talisman, resulting in serious damage to the body in the limit state, almost breaking the immortal veins and meridians, affecting the foundation, if it goes on according to this situation, This more than a year has to be used to heal injuries, which means that it is difficult for cultivation to improve in the third layer of Qi refining. The only good thing is that the body of the immortal cultivator has been baptized by the aura of heaven and earth, and it is much stronger than the body of the mortal, and the immortal cultivator can still save his life in the face of such a powerful injury. This is the benefit of strong physical fitness, which also reminds Yang Xian that a strong body is essential.
After sorting out the situation of his body, Yang Xian relaxed a lot, because even in the process of escaping for his life, all kinds of pills and spirit stones that could be used had been used up, and all kinds of runes that could be used, such as the Shenxing Talisman and the life-saving small earth escape talisman, had been used up, even if there was a huge deficit in the body, everything was worth it, because there was a nine-leaf spirit grass in the jade box in his storage bag, and the aura was compelling, as if even through the jade box, it could emit the light of the spirit grass, this was a century-old dragon pattern spirit grass.
The hundred-year-old dragon pattern spirit grass is currently a second-order top grade, but the dragon pattern spirit grass can grow at a very high limit, with the effect of rebirth and resurrection, it is extremely rare, it is said that this spirit grass needs the watering of the second-order dragon blood and other complex environments to grow. There is also the Dragon Pattern Spirit Grass if it is refined into a Dragon Pattern Pill and taken to extend the lifespan of at least twenty years, for immortal cultivators, twenty years is enough to change their lives against the sky, this is a truly priceless treasure. When Yang Xian saw this legendary dragon pattern spirit grass, he pounced without hesitation, but he didn't expect to attract this spirit snake that chased and killed him--- Yin Wind Snake, this Yin Wind Snake already has a first-order mid-grade cultivation, which is equivalent to the fourth layer of Qi refining, and a mid-stage Qi refining immortal cultivator. What Yang Xian didn't know was that fortunately, this first-order mid-grade Yin Wind Snake had just advanced, and he was not proficient in power control, otherwise there would be no more. Yang Xian didn't even know that this Yin Wind Snake was originally just an ordinary black snake mutation, the root of the black snake's mutation was this dragon pattern spirit grass, due to the effect of the dragon pattern spirit grass, the snake has a natural affinity for the dragon pattern spirit grass, the higher the year, the more obvious the effect, and even the legendary 10,000-year dragon pattern spirit grass can awaken the bloodline of the true dragon, I don't know if this is true or false.
All in all, this dragon pattern spirit grass was obtained by Yang Xian at the risk of his life, that is a great opportunity, Yang Xian once again transferred his mind to the storage bag, although this dragon pattern spirit grass is very valuable, but Yang Xian looked at the spirit grass in the storage bag, but his heart was extremely uncalm, the value of this spirit grass has far exceeded his imagination, Yang Xian's mind is struggling, the spirit grass himself is used or used to exchange for spirit stones, pills or magic weapons, talismans and other cultivation materials.
Yang Xian, who was thinking calmly and struggling, checked his body again with the technique of divine thought and internal vision, and the physical injury did not seem to have any improvement, he was currently in the depths of the Fog Hidden Mountain Range, and his current self did not have any power to protect himself, after some analysis, he found that his current situation was no longer allowed to be considered slowly, even if the dragon pattern spirit grass was a priceless treasure, it could not be used for himself, everything was just a wedding dress for others, Yang Xian strengthened his belief, he would not make this mistake, spirit grass elixir, spirit stone, pill, Magic weapons and other things are things outside the body, and only the strength that is transformed into oneself is the most important, if the strength cannot be improved, it will only become a cornucopia of other immortal cultivators.
So Yang Xian did not hesitate to quickly take out the jade box from the storage bag, first picked a leaf of dragon pattern spirit grass, pasted a forbidden spirit talisman, and put it properly to avoid the loss of dragon pattern spirit herbs, and then opened his mouth and swallowed it directly, this leaf was full of fragrant mouth, Yang Xian sighed that he swallowed it too quickly, and he hadn't tasted it yet. Suddenly, Yang Xian found that the swallowed leaf of dragon pattern spirit grass was like swallowing a fireball, and the hot and majestic aura raged in the immortal veins and dantian, so that the already damaged meridians were injured again, and the tenacious immortal veins and dantian seemed to be about to explode, the medicinal properties of this hundred-year-old dragon pattern spirit grass were so powerful and violent, the aura exploded in the body, and Yang Xian felt that death was unprecedentedly close. Yang Xian didn't care about anything else, and ran the "Sword Yuan True Solution" with all his strength to dissolve the excess aura in his body, but the aura in his body was too majestic, it turned out to be more than ten or twenty times that of his own third layer of qi refining, and being infused with such a majestic aura was simply a disaster. As a result, the tenacious immortal veins had been broken, full of loopholes, and the fragile meridians were directly broken, and Yang Xian felt that death had come.
At this time, as the meridians in Yang Xian's body were broken and death came, Yang Xian was already desperate, if there was a next life, he must remember not to eat the spirit grass elixir.
At this time, the powerful medicinal properties of the swallowed dragon pattern spirit grass were brought into play, and the broken immortal veins and broken meridians were repaired again, but because of the excessive spiritual energy that poured into the body after swallowing a leaf of dragon pattern spirit grass, the immortal veins and meridians that had been repaired were damaged and broken again, and then repaired again, so that Yang Xian truly experienced what it means to be in pain, and life is worse than death, just eating a dragon pattern spirit grass leaf!
The power of the dragon pattern spirit grass can be seen in general, it can make a mortal snake transform into a spirit snake, can bring the dead back to life, and can refine the elixir that increases longevity, its preciousness is extraordinary, as for Yang Xian to swallow it raw, it is a great waste, but by mistake, the good steel is just used on the blade.
This pain lasted for a day and a night, Yang Xian clearly counted his immortal veins and meridians that had undergone three damages, fractures and repairs, and when the pain of a day and a night had passed, Yang Xian found that his injuries had miraculously recovered. But the miracle is not simply achieved, the pain of the experience cannot be expressed in words, but the recovered immortal veins and meridians are simply worlds apart compared to before the injury, compared to when they were injured, the immortal veins and meridians have been strengthened too much, it is like a earth-shaking change, Yang Xian feels like drinking the bath water of the god of luck.
Luck is also part of strength, the real reason for getting lucky this time is that the timing of the use of this dragon pattern spirit grass is the most appropriate time, and Yang Xian inadvertently met the best time to take the dragon pattern spirit grass, the dragon pattern spirit grass that has just been picked, this is the time of day, the location is not good, just relying on the free heaven and earth aura in the air, people are very wonderful, serious injuries are difficult to heal, and death is almost alive, this is the most suitable time to take it, although Yang Xian's cultivation is only three layers of qi refining, and his cultivation is very low, But it just so happened that Yang Xian only took one of the nine leaves of the dragon pattern spirit grass, and at the same time, because of the large loss of spiritual power by swallowing the spirit grass, the content of the spiritual energy would not cause Yang Xian to explode and die instantly, which was also caused by Yang Xian's caution, swallowing one leaf first to try the effect, obviously, the effect was obvious.
