Chapter 82: The city routine is deep
It was still the underground secret room, and the Black Feather Killer who intercepted Lu Xiao'an and the three outside Huai'an City told the Black Wing Envoy about the failure of the mission.
Black Wing said: "I didn't expect him to have a relationship with the Yu family, this is troublesome." ”
The killer said: "I am no longer suitable to stay in Huai'an City. ”
The Black Wing Envoy nodded and said, "You go back to Shangyang Kingdom, and report this matter to the door, and see what the door says." ”
After the killer left, the Black Wing Envoy summoned the White Wing Envoy again, and said: "I don't think the door should give up this magic weapon, but now the target is in Huai'an City, and it has a relationship with the Yu family, it's really not easy to take it by force, you take an identity and go to Huai'an City, try to see if you can get it by other methods." ”
The White Winged Envoy nodded and left directly.
Lu Xiaoan and the three of them lived in Huai'an City, and they just devoted themselves to cultivation every day, and Yu Donglai often came to Lu Xiao'an before, so it can be seen that Lu Xiao'an rarely came to bother him if he worked so hard to cultivate.
This cultivation was more than half a year, and Lu Xiaoan never went to find Gu Linghua, because there were some things he didn't know how to explain to Gu Linghua.
On this day, Zhou Zhaoyue came to Lu Xiao'an's room and said, "Senior brother, I have already helped you refine the Seven Aperture Glass Heart." ”
After cultivating Heaven Devouring and Transforming Earth, Zhou Zhaoyue took another pill, and now he has the cultivation of the eighth layer of the Qi Sea. And unlike the Qi Cultivation Realm and the Tongmai Realm, the Qi Sea Realm only has a total of nine small realms, which means that Zhou Zhaoyue is not far from the Infant Transformation Realm.
After taking the Seven Aperture Glass Heart, Lu Xiaoan handed Zhou Zhaoyue another jade bottle, but Zhou Zhaoyue refused: "I can't ask for it." ”
There were actually three pills in the jade bottle that Mo Rugui gave to Zhou Zhaoyue that day, because the head Xiao Daoyao did not accept Lu Xiaoan's two pills, and now they are all back to Lu Xiaoan.
Lu Xiaoan said: "Senior sister, we have all become Taoist couples, do we still need to share each other?"
Zhou Zhaoyue frowned slightly, but still didn't pick it up.
Lu Xiaoan said again: "Now that my senior sister has cultivated to the highest, I can avenge the sect as soon as possible by breaking through the infant realm, and Huai'an City is not peaceful, and I am also involved in some disputes, if the senior sister does not cultivate into the infant realm, I am afraid that I will be difficult to protect myself." ”
At this time, it was related to the revenge of the sect and the safety of Lu Xiao'an, so Zhou Zhaoyue took the jade bottle, and didn't say much, but said: "I will break through the infant realm as soon as possible." ”
For more than half a year, Lu Xiao'an's cultivation has also come to the sixth layer of qi training, and Xiao Lu'er has advanced by leaps and bounds after having the magic needle, and has already cultivated to the eighth layer of qi training, and he is still steadily suppressing him, the senior brother.
In addition to swallowing heaven and earth, Xiao Lu'er was also cultivating the Heavenly Demon Forging Body, but for the sake of her safety, Lu Xiaoan did not let her use the spirit object for the time being. Lu Xiaoan still remembered the pain when he soaked in the water, so he wanted Xiao Lu'er to cultivate higher and stronger before absorbing it.
But Xiao Lu'er seemed to be a little unable to wait, and after cultivating to the eighth level of Qi cultivation, she came to Lu Xiao'an.
"Senior brother, now I can use spiritual objects, I've been practicing for half a year. ”
Lu Xiaoan originally wanted Xiao Lu'er to use the spirit object when she reached the thirteenth layer of Qi training, because she was not in a hurry to increase her strength, but Xiao Lu'er was unwilling, she had to start now, there was no way, Lu Xiaoan could only agree to her.
There is a difference between men and women, for fear that Xiao Lu'er would have an accident, Lu Xiaoan also specially called Zhou Zhaoyue to protect her Fa, and when she was practicing, there was really an accident.
only heard a scream, and then Xiao Lu'er was silent, Zhou Zhaoyue hurriedly rushed into the house and fished Xiao Lu'er out of the water. Lu Xiaoan naturally couldn't follow in, so he could only be in a hurry outside.
After a long time, Zhou Zhaoyue came out, and Lu Xiaoan hurriedly asked, "Is she okay?"
Zhou Zhaoyue shook her head and said, "It's not a big deal, but she can't bear your kind of method, I'm afraid she can only cultivate with ordinary methods." ”
Lu Xiaoan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Xiao Lu'er was fine, he didn't really care what the method was. However, Xiao Lu'er didn't think so, and after that, she put down her cultivation first, and spent all day practicing the Heavenly Demon Forging Body in the room with a pool specially built by Lu Xiao'an.
Knowing that Xiao Luer still had a family revenge to avenge, Lu Xiaoan couldn't persuade her, so she could only practice hard herself.
"Princess, Yan Gongzi is here. ”
In the palace, Gu Linghua was staring at the swimming fish in the pond in a daze, and Aunt Yun, who had been following her and protecting her, suddenly came behind her.
Gu Linghua got up and said, "I know, you tell Young Master Yan to wait a while, and I'll go change my clothes." ”
The Yan Gongzi in Aunt Yun's mouth is Yan Guyun, the son of the Yan family in Yancheng. Although Yancheng is far inferior to Huai'an City, there is only one family in Yancheng, and that is the Yan family. Therefore, the strength of the Yan family is no worse than that of the four major families in Huai'an City.
Because of this, after learning that Yan Guyun had come to Huai'an City, Gu Linghua would take the initiative to contact him, hoping to win over the huge force of the Yan family.
After changing into a dignified but glamorous dress, Gu Linghua came, Yan Guyun immediately stood up when she saw it, and said: "It is said that the seventeenth princess is as beautiful as a fairy, and when I saw it today, she really lived up to her reputation." ”
Gu Linghua smiled reservedly, and then said, "Young Master Yan, please take a seat." ”
After Yan Guyun sat down, he continued to look at Gu Linghua, but he no longer spoke, but waited for Gu Linghua to speak first.
If you have a request, you will naturally be a dwarf, and Gu Linghua can only speak first and pull closer: "Yan Gongzi suddenly came to Huai'an City, I don't know what happened?"
Yan Guyun said: "My family urged me to pass on the ancestry, I heard that there are four beauties in Huai'an City, so I wanted to come and see it." ”
Gu Linghua naturally didn't believe Yan Guyun's nonsense, so she looked at him with a smile.
Yan Guyun smiled "haha", stretched out his hand and slapped his face, and said, "Princess, don't be weird, you look at my mouth, I'm really used to it, and I make such jokes in front of the princess, it's really damned." ”
"Actually, I want to come to meet the Tianjiao of Huai'an City, I heard that you will fight hand-to-hand with demon beasts to sharpen yourself, and I also want to see it. ”
Gu Linghua said: "What kind of grinding, it's just a piece of fun." ”
Yan Guyun said: "Then the princess might as well take me for a while." ”
Gu Linghua said: "Yan Gongzi doesn't know, the beast circle can't control the demon beasts of the Enlightenment Realm, so Yan Gongzi has already missed this fun." ”
Yan Guyun said with some regret: "If I had known, I would have come to Huai'an City earlier, and I would have seen a beauty like the princess earlier." ”
Gu Linghua pretended to smile, but in fact, she was already a little disgusted with Yan Guyun's frivolity in her heart.
But for the sake of the family, Gu Linghua could only continue to laugh and say: "Young Master Yan really wants to meet the sons of Huai'an City, so I invite them to come to the palace for a gathering." ”
Yan Guyun also said pretendedly: "How can you let the princess bother about it!"
Gu Linghua said: "Originally, we often get together, and it is not troublesome. ”
Yan Guyun said: "Then thank you for the princess's kindness." ”
After chatting for a while, Yan Guyun got up to say goodbye, and Gu Linghua asked Aunt Yun to send her off.
The first time they met, Gu Linghua naturally couldn't talk to Yan Guyun about family affairs, just chatted casually, mainly to explore Yan Guyun's mouth. However, this Yan Guyun was more shrewd than she imagined, just gags, and took the opportunity to tease Gu Linghua, without saying anything useful.
Gu Linghua couldn't help but feel a headache, Yan Guyun came to Huai'an City at this juncture, there must be the instruction of Yan Guiqiu, the head of the Yan family, and his purpose must be to get some benefits in the situation in Huai'an City.
If other forces had this idea, they would definitely die a miserable death, but the Yan family had enough strength to take advantage of the fire. And whether it is the Gu family or the Gongsun family, they also hope that there is such a force to help them win the final victory.
Therefore, the Yan family's capital to be sold at a price, if they want to get the help of the Yan family, the Gu family estimates that they have to pay a lot of costs, and these costs are not Gu Linghua's decision.
Therefore, Gu Linghua had to meet her father and ask for his opinion, and she was still young and didn't know a lot of things, so if she lured the wolf into the house, everything would be over.
On this day, Yudong came to find Lu Xiaoan in a hurry and said, "Big brother, Gu Linghua invites the children of all families to the palace for a gathering. ”
Lu Xiaoan was taken aback, and before he could find an excuse to excuse himself, Yu Donglai said again: "Last time you stood on Gu Linghua's side, this time you have to stand on my side." ”
Saying that, Yu Donglai explained a little embarrassedly: "This time there is a competition in the Pulse Realm, you know, big brother, our Yu family is my only seedling, I am afraid that I will lose face when the time comes, and you will have no problem pulling the eldest brother." ”
Lu Xiaoan couldn't find an excuse to refuse, so he sighed faintly in his heart, thinking that it was not a way to escape, anyway, sooner or later he would have to face it, so it was better to take this opportunity to meet Gu Linghua.
So, Lu Xiaoan asked Yu Donglai, "How is your Heavenly Demon Forging Body cultivation?"
Yu Donglai patted his chest and said: "I have cultivated a long time ago, and now it is not a problem to fight with the Tongmai Realm, but big brother, you know, those guys of theirs are a lot more powerful than ordinary people, after all, my cultivation is a little lower, and I guess I can't beat it." ”
Lu Xiaoan asked again, "How many spiritual objects have you absorbed?"
Yu Donglai's face flushed, and he said: "The exercises say that one drop of spiritual objects is added at a time, but it is too painful, I can't stand it, so I only add half a drop at a time." ”
Lu Xiaoan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that there was such an operation, and asked again: "Then how much did you absorb in total?"
Yu Donglai scratched his head and said, "How can you have eighty or ninety drops!"
Seeing Yu Donglai like that, Lu Xiaoan knew that he must have overreported, so he said, "You try to punch me with all your might." ”
"Huh?"
Yu Donglai was stunned for a moment and said, "This is not very good!"
Lu Xiaoan said: "I can cultivate the Heavenly Demon Forging Body earlier than you. ”
Yu Donglai was actually very curious about how strong Lu Xiaoan was, so he said, "Okay, then big brother, you can be careful." ”
Lu Xiaoan didn't dare to be careless, put on a posture and waited, Yu Donglai took a deep breath, and then punched Lu Xiaoan in the chest.
Lu Xiaoan took two steps back, his feet sank deep into the ground, but his chest was only a little painful, and he was not injured.
Yu Donglai was shocked, looked at his fist with some suspicion, and said, "Aren't we cultivating the same kind of exercise, why is the gap so big?"
Lu Xiaoan said: "Sure enough, you didn't stimulate your body enough at the beginning, and obviously you haven't reached the realm of Dacheng." ”
"This ......"
Yu Donglai regretted it a little, he punched it with all his might, but Lu Xiaoan was not injured, which shows that the gap between the two is at least doubled.
was really a little depressed, Yu Donglai couldn't help but ask curiously: "Big brother, how much have you absorbed, won't you absorb all the drops in a hundred!"
Lu Xiaoan thought about it for a while, but still replied truthfully: "One hundred and twenty-six drops!"
"You ......"
Yu Donglai was speechless, and only my eldest brother sighed in his heart.
Indeed, even if it is the same kind of exercise, two different people will inevitably have different effects when they cultivate, and even if they both absorb a hundred drops, there must be a difference between strength and weakness, because no two people in this world are exactly the same.
Lu Xiao'an is not good in terms of cultivation qualifications, but his body is good, and his perseverance is quite amazing, so he is unexpectedly suitable for cultivating the Heavenly Demon Forging Body. This made Lu Xiaoan think that the predecessor who created the Heavenly Demon Forging Body Exercise would also be a person with poor cultivation qualifications, so he worked hard to refine his body.
However, although Yu Donglai is much inferior to Lu Xiao'an, after all, he is practicing the top-level body quenching technique of the ground level, and his body strength is far beyond that of some Tongmai Realm cultivators. It's just that the Tongmai Realm is blessed with mana, and it will not be worse than Yudonglai in terms of strength and speed, but when Yudonglai also cultivates to the Tongmai Realm, it will be a world of difference.
Of course, if you don't continue to cultivate the second layer of the Heavenly Demon Forging Body, this physical advantage will become weaker and weaker as your cultivation improves, and Yu Donglai is like this, I'm afraid that when he is at the peak of the Tongmai Realm, he will have no advantage.
This is also the reason why many monks are reluctant to practice the body quenching exercises, because the current body quenching exercises are almost incomplete, it is good to be able to cultivate to the Qi Sea Realm, but it is useless to reach the Infant Transformation Realm, so why spend so much energy on cultivation?
Lu Xiaoan is the same, if he can't get the exercises behind the Heavenly Demon Forging Body, it won't be of much use when his cultivation is high.
On the other hand, after all, the Heavenly Demon Forging Body is a top-level exercise of the earth level, and with the assistance of spiritual objects, the cultivation cycle has been greatly shortened, even if it is only the first layer, no one will refuse. Because of other body quenching exercises, it often takes more than ten or even decades of penance, and if Lu Xiaoan is replaced, he will not practice.
Therefore, whether it is cultivation or quenching, the key is to look at the exercises. If it is a complete set of quenching exercises that directly point to becoming immortals, it should still be flocking to it.
After being stunned for a while, Yu Donglai said to Lu Xiao'an again: "Big brother, do you think I can practice again?"
Lu Xiaoan glanced at Yu Donglai and said, "There may be a way, but I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." ”
Yu Donglai patted his chest and said, "In order to become stronger, I will definitely insist this time." ”
Lu Xiaoan said: "Then you can think about it, this method is a hundred times more painful than when you practiced before." ”
"Huh?"
Yu Donglai was immediately stunned.
Lu Xiaoan is not exaggerating, there is really a world of difference between venom on the surface of the skin and deep into the body. It's a miracle that Lu Xiaoan can persevere.
"Do you want to continue cultivating?"
Yu Donglai smiled awkwardly and said, "I think it's strong enough now." ”
Lu Xiaoan naturally wouldn't force Yu Donglai, Yu Donglai couldn't even stand normal cultivation, how could he stand the use of magic needles to stimulate absorption.
At this time, Xiao Lu'er had just finished cultivating and saw Lu Xiao'an and Yu Donglai, who hurriedly greeted Xiao Lu'er to relieve the embarrassment.
Xiao Lu'er nodded, and was about to leave, when Yu Donglai asked again: "Senior Sister Xiao, we are going to the palace in two days, do you want to go together?"
Lu Xiaoan was startled, but it was too late to stop him.
Xiao Lu'er looked at Lu Xiao'an and said, "I'll go when my senior brother goes." ”
Yu Donglai hooked Lu Xiao'an's neck and said, "Of course my eldest brother is going." ”
Lu Xiaoan wanted to kick Yu Donglai away, but Xiao Lu'er had already said that she was going, what reason should he use to let her not go?
In fact, Lu Xiaoan himself didn't know what he was afraid of, anyway, for some reason, he just didn't want Xiao Lu'er and Gu Linghua to meet.
After driving Yu Donglai away, Lu Xiaoan said to Xiao Lu'er: "Actually, I don't want to go, if it weren't for my righteous brother begging me, I wouldn't have wasted my cultivation time to join in the fun." ”
Xiao Lu'er glanced at Lu Xiao'an suspiciously, and asked, "Senior brother, do you think I'm wasting my time, then Lu'er won't go." ”
"No, no!"
As soon as Xiao Lu'er said this, Lu Xiaoan couldn't tell her not to go, so she could only say: "You have been cultivating so hard, it's not good to be like this all the time, you should go and relax." ”
Xiao Lu'er smiled sweetly and said, "That's okay, senior brother said I'll go." ”
Looking at the back of Xiao Lu'er running away happily, Lu Xiaoan always felt that he had been tricked.
At this time, Xiao Ai said leisurely: "The city routine is deep, I want to go back to the countryside." ”
Lu Xiaoan: "Xiao Ai, you have changed, and you have actually learned to slander." ”
Xiao Ai: "I don't have a belly, so I can't slander my belly, this is called complaining." ”
Lu Xiaoan: "Yes, in short, you have changed. ”
Two days later, Yu Donglai came to Lu Xiao'an again, and then went to the palace with them. Although Lu Xiaoan has not yet entered the palace, the way to the palace is very familiar.
Suddenly, Xiao Lu'er asked, "Senior brother, have you ever been to the palace?"
Lu Xiaoan immediately pressed on Yu Donglai's shoulder to prevent him from talking nonsense, and then said, "I haven't been there." ”
He really hasn't been, so it's not a lie.
Xiao Lu'er asked again: "By the way, the senior brother said last time that he wanted to help others, did he help him?"
Xiao Luer's 'he' naturally refers to Yu Donglai.
"Hmm!"
Lu Xiaoan nodded, still squeezing Yu Donglai's shoulder. No way, this time he had to lie.
So if a person doesn't lie, it's not actually in himself, but the person who asks the question, if you want to ask what others can say, then naturally you don't need to lie, but if you want to ask what you can't say, what else can you do if you don't lie?
Well, there's nothing wrong with the logic.
Yu Donglai looked at Lu Xiaoan strangely, feeling the weight on his shoulders, he seemed to vaguely understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything, so he still looked dumbfounded.
Not long after, the three of them came to the palace, and by coincidence, Gu Lingyu happened to come out to greet Yan Guyun in person. As soon as she greeted Yan Guyun with a smile, Gu Linghua met Lu Xiaoan's gaze.
The moment the two looked at each other, Gu Linghua's face continued to show shock, panic, surprise, and doubt, and she stayed in place for a while.
