"Those who mix the elements, the vitality is not divided, the chaos is one, and the beginning of the vitality is also. Vitality is born in chaos, bright on the outside, dark on the inside........"

Lu Xiaotian sat on the straw mat in the open space in front of the cave, crossed his legs and knees, silently ran the exercises in the "Mixed Yuan Sutra", held his qi and condensed, hugged Yuan Shouyi, and after running the trace of vitality in his body for the second Great Zhou Tian, he exhaled a breath of turbidity. Before entering the first layer of qi refining, the gas in Lu Xiaotian's lungs dispersed as soon as it was spit out. At this moment, the gas that came out of his mouth shot out like a short arrow.

It took nearly four months for Lu Xiaotian to enter the first layer of Qi refining, which was slightly consolidated in this month.

"Oh no, I almost forgot to feed the little green ant the Beast Spirit Pill. ”

Lu Xiaotian slapped his forehead, the aura outside the cave was more abundant, it was a little longer to cultivate just now, and when he came back to his senses, Lu Xiaotian got up from the ground, and his two little legs hurriedly stepped away and ran into the cave. The big black bear lying on his stomach at the door opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Lu Xiaotian, he closed it listlessly and continued to sleep.

Lu Xiaotian skillfully ran to the dark room of the Dan room, took a white vial, and then came to the spirit beast room in the cave, in the relatively wide spirit beast room, in a jade pond that was only a few feet square, there were some leaves of white glowgrass, white glowgrass is a low-level spirit grass, the leaf surface is shining with a layer of shallow white luster, and the leaves of the white glow grass, there is a slight sound from time to time.

Lu Xiaotian took out more than a dozen black pills with a strange fragrance from the white vial and scattered them on the leaves of the white glow grass.

Hiss.....

There was a sudden sound in the jade pool, and more than twenty green ants, five or six times larger than normal ants, crawled out of the leaves, and rushed to the beast spirit pill to chew on it.

"One, two ......"

Taking advantage of the little green ants to eat, Lu Xiaotian repeatedly counted the quantity, and after finding that the number was not small, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the past six months, the old man in the black robe has gone out more and more frequently. In addition to cultivating, Lu Xiaotian is also responsible for helping the black-robed old man take care of these little green ants.

These little green ants are low-level spirit insects, and it is not easy to raise, and it has taken nearly half a year to raise more than 20 of them. When there is not enough food, the little green ants will kill each other.

Two months ago, because Lu Xiaotian was not fed in time, two little green ants were killed and eaten by other stronger kinds, for which Lu Xiaotian also received twenty lashes from the old man in the black robe, and he died of pain and recuperated for more than three days before he could go to the ground. After this lesson, Lu Xiaotian was always extra careful.

Lu Xiaotian plugged the peach wood cork into the mouth of the white vial, and suddenly there was a narrow shadow on the ground, Lu Xiaotian's heart tightened, and he was quickly relieved, and turned around, sure enough, it was the old man in the black robe.

"Old Geng!" Lu Xiaotian saluted the black-robed old man.

"Do you know it's me?" His cultivation was much higher than Lu Xiaotian's, and as soon as he appeared at the door of the spirit beast room, Lu Xiaotian seemed to have noticed it, and the old man in the black robe couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"There is a faint figure on the ground, the black bear is guarding the entrance of the cave, and only Geng Lao can enter the cave silently. Lu Xiaotian said truthfully.

"Yes, at such a young age, to be able to have such a mind, among his peers, is really outstanding. The black-robed old man nodded slightly, and secretly said that it was a pity that the potential of this son's spiritual root was a little poor, and it was not impossible to accept it as a personal disciple in the past. But since the Earth Fire Palace was brought to the sect, the old man in the black robe thought of the word disciple, and his face was gloomy.

"The shadow ants are also well fed, this is a Qi Gathering Pill, and it is a reward for you. The black-robed old man took out a pill bottle from his body, and with a palm of his hand, the bottle was suspended in front of Lu Xiaotian.

Lu Xiaotian took the pill bottle, opened the lid, and a refreshing fragrance of pills came to his nose, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but frown, the Qi Gathering Pill is the pill used by the monks in the early stage of Qi refining, it has a good effect from the first layer to the third layer, this pill, for him who is only the first layer of Qi refining, is worth three months of hard cultivation.

"Thank you, Elder Geng. After putting away the elixir, Lu Xiaotian hurriedly thanked him.

"As long as you do a good job, I will not be stingy with rewards. The black-robed old man nodded, took out a small jade gourd and said, "In the future, my time in the cave may be shorter, after the shadow ants in the jade pond grow and mature, if I haven't come back, you will put the mature shadow ants into the jade gourd." ”

At this time, Lu Xiaotian also knew that this little green ant was called a shadow ant, but Lu Xiaotian's face was a little difficult, this little green ant is a low-level spirit insect, the lethality is not great, but it has a strong paralyzing effect, two months ago, that is, the time when the feeding was not timely, it was also because Lu Xiaotian accidentally reached into the jade pond with his hand, and was bitten by the little green ant, and his action was much slower than usual, and he fell on the animal skin, and he had sex for two hours more than usual in one night, and then came together, the little green ants in the jade pond were already cannibalizing.

"Elder Geng, after I was bitten by a shadow ant, I was paralyzed for nearly a day. If there is no preventive means, I am afraid that the task given by Geng Lao will be delayed. ”

Lu Xiaotian said cautiously, lest he make the old man in the black robe unhappy.

"This bottle is the antidote to the paralysis of the shadow ants, you just need to take the antidote before you catch the shadow ants. The black-robed old man gave Lu Xiaotian another small medicine bottle.

"Yes, Elder Geng. ”

After Lu Xiaotian took the antidote, he thought to himself, no wonder the black-robed old man who had been unapologetic to him before had rewarded him with a Qi Gathering Pill just now, it turned out that he was asked to do this kind of hard work. Even if there is an antidote, being bitten by a little green ant is quite painful. It's just that the old man in the black robe arranged it like this, but there is no room for him to refuse.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, and the alchemy furnace will be taken away. The black-robed old man said.

"If the beast spirit pill runs out, and Geng Lao hasn't come back, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of these shadow ants. Lu Xiaotian said truthfully.

"I also have a small Dan furnace here, although it is not very good, but it is enough to refine the beast spirit pill. ”

The black-robed old man took out a small Dan furnace with a black body, like a black iron, just looking at the color, it was far worse than the one that the black-robed old man originally used, but Lu Xiaotian himself had no other unilateral side, let alone other spiritual objects, Lu Xiaotian didn't mind this, but Lu Xiaotian thought to himself that he didn't have any means of self-protection now, through the dialogue between the black-robed old man and several other people, Lu Xiaotian knew that the monk not only had exercises, but also practiced spells, or combat skills, so that he could be regarded as having combat effectiveness.

In the past, when he was in the Thunder Dao Gate, Brother Shi Qingshan also had to cultivate martial arts after cultivating the internal strength and mental method to be regarded as a real martial artist, so Lu Xiaotian thought that martial artists and immortal cultivators also had something in common.

The black-robed old man left for longer and longer, so after thinking for a moment, Lu Xiaotian plucked up his courage and said, "Elder Geng, in case you don't come back in time by then, I will go out to pick the elixir for refining the beast spirit pill, if I take the black bear out, if there is a demon beast breaking into the cave, I am afraid that it will hurt and destroy the things in the cave." If I don't take the black bear out, I will encounter danger outside, and if I don't come back, I am afraid that these shadow ants that Geng Lao wants to raise will be disappointed. ”

"You mean you want to give me a favor?" Geng Lao smiled gloomily, and a pair of triangular eyes burst out as cold as a poisonous snake.

"No, don't dare. ”

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Lu Xiaotian's forehead, and the pressure of the high-level monk made Lu Xiaotian's legs and stomach tremble a little, and it was already good to be able to persist without kneeling down at this time.

Geng Lao's face was cloudy and uncertain for a while, and the spiritual objects found in the canyon were indeed what he was determined to obtain. And the shadow ant is also one of his killer tongs, but the lethality of a single one is not strong, and most of it was destroyed in the previous battles with the disciples of Lingxiao Palace, and this little guy in front of him is still somewhat useful. If it is really like what Lu Xiaotian said, it is indeed tricky.

After thinking about it for a while, Geng Lao's face turned slightly pale, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and then he threw a small ancient silver ring, and a booklet to Lu Xiaotian, "This is a spirit beast ring, the booklet is the art of taming beasts, you can take the black bear out to subdue a low-level spirit beast." ”

"Thank you, Elder Geng. ”

Lu Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had a heartfelt fear of the black-robed old man, if he was not forced to do so, Lu Xiaotian was really unwilling to bear this kind of pressure for no reason, but as soon as the black-robed old man left, he went out alone to collect the spirit grass and refine the beast spirit pill, it was indeed too dangerous, and he had to act like this for the sake of his own life.
