Chapter 29: Breakthrough
Qin Wen sat cross-legged on a flat stone platform, constantly running the vitality in the dantian, the thin vitality gradually melted into a fist-sized red disc, the disc was still slowly rotating under the operation of the Nine Turns of the Burning Yang Jue, and the abundant spiritual energy in the stone forest was poured into the cave.
With the exhalation and inhalation of Qin Wen, the aura enters the meridians of Qin Wen from between the mouth and nose and pores, and then gathers into a trace of vitality in the meridians, and then replenishes it into the red disc that rotates in the dantian.
The blue-eyed spirit eagle in the cave stood quietly at the entrance of the cave, the wound on the abdomen had scabbed, and the two blue eyes kept watching the movement outside, and the slightly lifted black back feathers reflected a metallic luster under the light illumination, making a movement ready to pounce at any time.
As the rotation of the red disc in the dantian became slower and slower, Qin Wen's vitality became more and more intense, and the spiritual energy absorbed in the body had reached a critical value, and the spiritual energy infused in the cave couldn't help but stagnate, and then it drifted freely.
The disc in the dantian slowly spreads, and the rich vitality slowly enters the meridians with the guidance of the exercises, just like a thin stream flowing on the dry riverbed, and gradually the impurities in the meridians are discharged from the body little by little through the pores.
As more and more vitality enters the meridians from the dantian, the stream gradually turns into a rushing river, and the riverbed expands to the limit, and more and more vitality begins to wash the nodes between the meridians.
The vitality in the current Qin Wen meridians has been like the rising tide of the sea, patting the weak meridian nodes that have been washed away, with a soft "click", Qin Wen instantly felt that his six senses were much more sensitive, and the tide had already passed through the meridian nodes and rushed into another meridian.
When a meridian was opened up, Qin Wen entered a new realm in a trance, and his breathing became longer, and the stagnant aura in the cave just now suddenly poured into the meridians of Qin Wen's whole body like madness, and the operation of the vitality in the body was also unhindered, and it was much smoother.
The vitality in the dantian followed the exercises for a week, Qin Wen slowly opened his eyes, and felt that his body had been integrated into the aura outside, and there was a feeling of floating between his gestures, and then he stood up, and between his steps, he floated out a few feet away.
Qin Wen stood back on the stone platform and said to himself with a slight smile: "I have finally broken through to the Xuantu stage." At this time, he suddenly smelled the fishy smell in the cave, and looked down at his body, a thick layer of black oil and impurities in his body were piled up, and even the spirit eagle standing at the entrance of the cave flapped his wings slightly, as if to drive away the odor.
Qin Wen first went to the entrance of the cave to probe it, and found that there were no other spirit carvings flying out outside, and saw that he was only a few dozen zhang away from the stream of the stone forest, so he walked through the stone forest, came to the side of the stream, took off his clothes, jumped into the stream, and carefully scrubbed it, and the spirit eagle at the entrance of the cave also flew out with him, standing by the stream, exploring the surrounding situation.
Rubbed off wisps of greasy gray matter, Qin Wen's body revealed clean skin, and the scabbed scars on his legs were faintly hidden, looking at the spirit eagle on guard by the stream, he smiled slightly, and then waded through the stream to his clothes, took out a myelin cleansing pill from the storage bag, and threw it to the spirit eagle at will, and the spirit eagle immediately held it with his beak, and after swallowing it, he chirped happily a few times.
Qin Wen has lived in the cave for more than ten days, and every day he will let Lingdiao take the pill to stop bleeding on time, as Lingdiao is wound gradually improves, he and Lingdiao gradually become familiar with each other, every day Lingdiao will find him food, sometimes there are bloody yellow sheep and the like, but after seeing that Qin Wen does not eat raw meat, he will always bring him fresh wild fruits.
When Qin Wen's cultivation broke through, the spirit eagle who was already psychic also knew that Qin Wen could not be disturbed at this time, so he stood at the entrance of the cave to guard and protect the Dharma.
Qin Wen, who was hurriedly washed, washed his clothes in the stream, and ran the vitality in the dantian, and the wet clothes were dried and cool, and he got up and floated into the cave.
The fishy smell in the cave has been swept away under the blowing of the mountain wind, Qin Wen breathed for a moment, and when he saw that the spirit eagle took out the wild fruit again, he smiled and picked up the wild fruit and ate it.
Then he began to think about his future whereabouts, and broke through to the lower step of the Xuantu, although he was going to travel outside for a while, but he also wanted to return to the Qin family's manor first, after the city lord of Luming City was defeated in Qingshitan, he still didn't know the situation of the Qin family.
When he got rid of the two monks who were chasing him, he returned to the Qin manor, and arranged for Qin Lu and Qin Xiao to go out to travel again, which could be regarded as a concern in his heart.
However, thinking of the two monks who chased and killed him, Qin Wen couldn't help frowning slightly, judging from the use of pupae in the mountains and forests, these two monks should also be disciples of the Tianmi Sect, as for the reason, he is still not very clear, whether it is the same purpose as Ruan Offering, or to avenge Ruan Offering, or both, which makes Qin Wen a little unguessable.
But one thing Qin Wen is very clear, that is, these two people will not easily give up the purpose of chasing him, maybe after the two of them were chased by the blue-eyed spirit eagle group that day, they will turn back here to find their traces, it is very likely that they are waiting for the rabbit at the intersection of the stone forest, how to get rid of them is the biggest problem Qin Wen is facing now.
Qin Wen also carefully recalled the scene of their pursuit and killing at this time, from outside the camp to the mountains and forests, and then to the long howl after turning into the stone forest, Qin Wen could conclude that the cultivation of these two people was at the lowest level of the Xuantu, and they should even reach the Xuanshi stage, which was for Qin Wen, who had just arrived at the Xuantu stage, the head-on confrontation was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly saw the spirit carving in the cave come out from behind a huge stone wall behind the cave, still holding a branch full of wild fruits in its mouth.
As soon as he was curious, he got up and walked to the stone wall, and the spirit eagle looked at him and walked over, put the wild fruit on the ground, chirped a few times in a low voice, and then turned around directly and walked behind the stone wall, as if to lead the way for Qin Wen.
Behind the stone wall is a natural road, the stone walls on both sides are rocky, the wide place can accommodate a carriage, the narrowest place is also only allowed to pass through one person, from the foot of the fine sand and gravel, this winding passage should be the impact of the mountain flood above.
After turning the road about a few hundred zhang away, Qin Wen's suddenly saw a glimmer of light, and the spirit eagle leading the way in front of him had already flown out with its wings lightly.
Qin Wen walked to the light and looked, it turned out that a hole more than three meters high was washed out of the mountain wall on the left, and the warm sunlight was shining out from the cave entrance, Qin Wen walked out of the hole, and what caught his eye was a wide valley, the valley was full of green grass, and several low trees that Qin Wen couldn't hug by one person were full of bright red wild fruits.
All around are cliffs that are thousands of feet high, and even apes are difficult to climb on at a straight angle, and there are also a few blue-eyed spirit eagles in the valley lazily basking in the sun, seeing Qin Wen walking out of the hole, he whispered a few times with a little vigilance, and at this time, the spirit eagle that led Qin Wen into also echoed twice, as if communicating with them, and the few spirit eagles put away their slightly unfolded black feathers and continued to squint their eyes.
At this time, Qin Wen suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of herbs from the breeze, and when he looked closely, he found that beside a blue-eyed spirit carving, there were several orchids that were more than a thousand years old, and the pink petals were fluttering in the wind, and it was the time to bloom.
Qin Wen couldn't help but be overjoyed, this Yan Orchid was the main medicine for refining the Xuan-level high-grade quenching elixir, he had seen it in the book, such a petal was worth tens of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones in the hands of the Great Qi Dan Master, but he didn't expect that he would be able to encounter such an elixir in this valley where blue-eyed spirit carvings gathered.
As soon as he walked towards the Yan Orchid, he suddenly saw the blue-eyed spirit eagle next to the flower and glanced at him vigilantly, and then unfurled a black feather more than a foot long, blocking several blooming Yan Orchids behind it.
At this time, the spirit eagle that led Qin Wen into the valley also flew back to his side, and gently patted Qin Wen's leg with his feather, and Qin Wen also understood that he would not let himself enter the territory protected by other spirit eagles at this time.
Qin Wen's heart couldn't help but hesitate, the temptation of the Yan Orchid was huge, and with his own strength, it was impossible to take off these Yan Orchid petals under the care of an adult blue-eyed spirit eagle, if he waited, he didn't know when this spirit eagle would be able to leave this position.
He knew that these spirit carvings had been psychic for a long time, and he also knew the preciousness of these elixirs, at this time, an idea immediately flashed in his heart, and he took out the marrow cleansing pill he had refined from the storage bag, due to the breakthrough of the Xuan level these days, there were only four or five pills left in a bottle of elixir, and Qin Wen poured out one and put it in his palm.
Seeing that the round elixir exuded a faint aura, the spirit eagle on the opposite side suddenly became interested, and spread its wings and was about to fly towards Qin Wen, but at this time, the spirit eagle beside Qin Wen let out a low chirp, and the spirit eagle who had just spread its wings glanced at it with a little fear, and slowly withdrew the black feather.
Qin Wen pointed to the pill in his hand at this time, and then pointed to the Yan Orchid behind the spirit eagle, he didn't know if this spirit eagle understood the meaning of the exchange he wanted to express, so he looked at the spirit eagle's expression carefully.
Sure enough, the spirit eagle understood, turned around and looked at the Yan Orchid that he was caring for with some reluctance, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the pill in front of him, Qin Wen knew that although the aura of this Yan Orchid was abundant, if he only used the aura absorbed by the spirit eagle, it was not as good as his own refined marrow cleansing pill.
At this time, the spirit eagle beside Qin Wen also screamed a few times, as if to persuade the spirit eagle opposite, and finally the spirit eagle on the opposite side dodged the body that blocked the flower plant, and chirped quietly.
Qin Wen was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly put the marrow cleansing pill in his hand in front of the spirit carving, and then walked straight to the side of the Yan Orchid.
