A squirrel carefully lay on the old pine branch, and the heavy snow pressed the pine branch very low, and the squirrel shook off a large number of snowflakes with a slight movement.

When the snowflakes fell, a huge pine cone was revealed. The squirrel's little head trembled slightly, its two front paws stretched out, and then leaped out of the distance, heading straight for the pine cone that tempted it.

Then the pine cone broke away from the branch and fell into the snow along with the snow and some yellowish pine needles, forming a shallow snow hole.

The squirrel's small sparkling eyes stared at the snow cave formed by the fall of the pine cone, and a big furry tail wagged around like a broom.

Eventually, the squirrel couldn't resist the temptation of the pine cones and headed straight towards the snow like a falling maple leaf.

Just as its front paws were about to drop into the snow, a dirty human hand suddenly reached out of the snowdrift and grabbed the poor squirrel in the palm of his hand.

The squirrel squeaked in fright, while the owner of the hand scrambled out of the snowdrift.

He is Wu Lu, who is practicing his qi sense in the hollow of the tree.

After more than ten days of closed cave penance, he finally got his wish and had the perception of the aura of heaven and earth. Meditation and Qi refining clearly perceived that the aura of heaven and earth poured in from the pores of the whole body, and continued to converge along the eight veins of the Qi Sutra to the upper dantian.

After gaining the sense of qi, Wu Lu did not dare to withdraw his power easily, but tried to use his consciousness to run those heaven and earth spiritual qi that were as thin as gossamer along the meridians required by Xiao Zhoutian, and finally under the action of the spiritual root, he was constantly transformed into mana, from the upper dantian to the lower dantian, a mana cyclone was formed in the dantian, and the first layer of the qi training period was finally practiced.

And Wu Lu, who had just broken through to the first level of the Qi cultivation period, suddenly had a divine feeling about everything in the surrounding distance, and he could perceive everything within this distance without looking at it, it turned out that this was the divine consciousness of a cultivator!

After finishing the work, Wu Lu, who was just about to climb out of the tree hole, felt a squirrel falling from the sky, and naturally reached out to catch it, this quick reaction made Wu Lu happy.

Seeing that the squirrel in his hand was no longer struggling and was looking at him with pitiful eyes, Wu Lu grinned, released his palm and let the squirrel go.

As soon as the squirrel was free, it flew and jumped on the snow, then climbed up to the nearest pine tree, hiding behind the trunk and carefully observing the sudden appearance of the human.

Emerging from the tree hole, Wu Lu dodged the dazzling light and stretched his somewhat stiff body slightly. Soon, Wu Lu found that his body actually secreted a lot of dirty and oily things, which were obviously the dirt naturally excreted from his body after cultivating to the first layer of Qi cultivation period. Not only the inside of the clothes, but also the palms and backs of the hands have accumulated a thin layer of dirt, which smells under the nose and stinks.

Wu Lu wiped his hands with snow with some disgust, but he couldn't clean it at all. When I was about to go back to the wooden house where I lived, I was about to boil a bucket of hot water to clean my body, when I heard a voice without the slightest emotion from behind.

"Have you broken through to the first level of the Qi cultivation period?"

Wu Lu turned his mind and saw Pei Lingyun standing a few feet away, looking at him expressionlessly.

Wu Lu hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Pei Shang Immortal, the villain was indeed lucky to have a sense of qi a few days ago, and then he cultivated for a few days before he stabilized his cultivation at the first level of the qi cultivation period. ”

Pei Lingyun looked at the tree cave where Wu Lu retreated and cultivated, and said, "You are very smart, you know that your spiritual root attribute is the dual spiritual root of wood and fire, and cultivating in this tree cave can indeed perceive more wood attribute spiritual energy, which is conducive to cultivation." ”

Wu Lu didn't know that the tree hole he was looking for purely for the sake of Qingjing cultivation had actually been accidentally bumped into, and he didn't explain it, he just lowered his head and smiled.

"Okay, now that you've reached the Qi cultivation period, you can also practice these spells. Pei Lingyun took out a few pamphlets from the storage bag and threw them to Wu Lu, and then took out some cyan clothes and said: "These are the clothes of the sect that Hu Xiaoling arranged for the registered disciples to buy, and if the sect wants to grow, it still has to be uniformly dressed." ”

Wu Lu happily took the booklet and clothes, and took a few steps forward to bow down to express his gratitude. But Pei Lingyun said with a disgusted face: "You better hurry up and wash away the filth on your body, there is a hot spring in the grotto more than 300 zhang east of the Fox Fairy Cave." ”

After Pei Lingyun finished speaking, he sacrificed the flying magic weapon, and said in the air: "I have some things that need to leave Changbai Mountain for some time, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask Hu Xiaoling." ”

Before the words fell, Pei Lingyun had already turned into a streamer of light and headed north.

Wu Lu looked at Pei Lingyun's imperial weapon with envy, fantasizing about whether he would be able to fly like this if he reached the fourth layer of the qi training period.

After a while, Wu Lu hugged his clothes and thought about going directly to the hot spring to bathe, after all, it was too much trouble to fetch water and burn the fire by himself, and he really wanted to try the hot springs of Changbai Mountain.

Finding the right direction, Wu Lu walked through the woods for hundreds of zhang, and finally saw the grotto that Pei Lingyun said.

The grotto is supposed to have been formed naturally, but it was artificially repaired on its basis.

Wu Lu entered the cave, only feeling that it was two heavens of ice and fire, and the temperature inside the cave was much higher than outside the cave.

Walking around the cave, I saw many naturally formed karst caves, and the hot spring water that emitted hot spring water flowed out of the cracks in the stones, accumulating into hot spring pools several feet deep.

Wu Lu found a deep pool in the innermost part, stretched out his hand to test the temperature, and was quite satisfied. He undressed himself and went into the hot spring pool naked.

The moment I first entered the water was really refreshing, as if the pores of the whole body were opened, and the filth inside gradually melted into the hot spring water.

Ten days of continuous cultivation made Wu Lu exhausted, and in a trance, he felt sleepy, and Wu Lu actually fell asleep in the hot spring water.

I don't know how long it took, but I only heard someone talking in the distance.

Wu Lu opened his eyes, but he hid in the darkness and remained motionless, quietly listening to the conversation in the distance.

"Shibata Mori, if you have something to say, just say it here. ”

As soon as Wu Lu heard this voice, his heart suddenly struck, it was actually Wanyan Long'er's little girl's skin, if she found out that she was here, she might want to kill her.

So Wu Lu didn't dare to move, and even breathed as smoothly as possible. Although the three layers of the divine consciousness of Yan Long'er's Qi cultivation period were all expanded, it was only a radius of three zhang, and this distance was still safe, but she might make a noise and hear it.

After all, even Shibata Sen's cultivation at the first level of the Qi cultivation period could hear the whispers within ten zhang clearly, not to mention Yan Long'er's cultivation at the third level of the Qi cultivation period.

Just as Wu Lu was holding his breath, Shibata Mori spoke.

"Senior Sister Wanyan, it's also for your good to come here to talk. I've been waiting for three hours at the entrance to this hot spring grotto, and no one else is in or out, so it's safe to talk here. ”

"Senior sister may not know that I was a disciple of another foundation building stage monk before I followed Pei Lingyun, and I was a master in the middle stage of foundation building, and Pei Lingyun was in the early stage of foundation building. If it weren't for some things, I wouldn't have fallen under Pei Lingyun's door in order to save my life. What's even more infuriating is that Pei Lingyun has always been reluctant to accept us as disciples, even if it is Senior Sister Wanyan's Heavenly Spirit Root qualification. ”

Wanyan Long'er sneered when she heard this: "It seems that you want to be a lobbyist, let me go to another foundation building period monk." ”

"Senior sister, please listen to me, I have been cultivating under Pei Lingyun for two months, but this Pei Shang Immortal only asked us to worship Hu Xiaoling as a teacher, and she herself only instructed us to cultivate as an elder in the sect, and she was always unwilling to admit her identity as a master and apprentice. Senior Sister Pei, do you know why?"

Wan Yan Long'er was silent.

"That's because in Pei Lingyun's eyes, we have always been just a tool, a tool that can be discarded at any time. And what kind of effect we, the possessors of the spiritual root, have on her Pei Lingyun, I have roughly guessed something. ”

Shibata Mori vigorously encouraged: "The day before the breakdown of Pyongyang, my last master, Grand Master Jiawei, had a meeting with Pei Lingyun, and he didn't even preside over the pre-determined formation for that meeting. After the meeting, Grand Master Jiawei resolutely abandoned Konishi Yukinaga's army, took all the disciples who possessed qi except me, and then disappeared. Obviously, Jiawei and Pei Lingyun reached an agreement, and only after that did Pei Lingyun start recruiting the owner of the spiritual root, and brought us to this Changbai Mountain to become one with Hu Xiaoling's disciples. Obviously, when I met with Jiawei, I knew that some things needed to be used by Qi cultivation stage cultivators, so I was asked to wait here to cultivate. ”

"In addition, I can reveal a piece of information about Senior Sister, under my previous master, Grand Master Jiawei, there is also a Heavenly Spirit Root owner, her name is Sakurai Chiba, and she has reached the fourth level of the Qi cultivation period in less than a year after cultivating with Grand Master Jiawei! Do you know why?"

Hearing Shibata Sen reveal that he had the same Heavenly Spirit Root owner, he had reached the fourth level of the Qi cultivation period in less than a year of cultivation, and Wanyan Long'er couldn't help but change his complexion. She thought that she was the most qualified of these spiritual root owners in Changbai Mountain, but when she suddenly heard that someone had the same qualifications as her, but her cultivation speed far surpassed her, she naturally felt a little difficult to accept.

Wan Yan Long'er sneered: "Do you think I will believe what you say?"

Shibata Mori cursed with a heartfelt face and swore: "If what I Shibata Mori said is half false, the path of cultivation will be cut off and there will be no place to die." ”

Wanyan Long'er's face began to be gloomy, and Shibata Mori swore so, obviously what he said was true.

Is there really someone with the same qualifications as her, but in less than a year, she has reached the fourth level of the Qi cultivation period?

You must know that because of the change of exercises, the five elements mana obtained from cultivation in the past has been dispersed a lot, although after two months of hard cultivation, it has been proved that the cultivation speed of the metal exercise method is much faster than the previous five elements exercises, but now her cultivation is still the third layer of the qi cultivation period, and the mana is not as good as two months ago, it is estimated that it will take another month to make up for it.

"Why can that person named Sakurai Chiba cultivate so quickly?" Wan Yan Long'er couldn't help but ask.

Shibata Mori clapped his hands and said, "That's because Grand Master Jiawei has his own set of exercises to help Qi cultivation period cultivators quickly improve their cultivation. And Sakurai Chiba is practicing this exercise, which can quickly improve the refining of the aura of heaven and earth by borrowing the power of the soul of the dead, and it is precisely because of this exercise that she can quickly improve her cultivation!"

"And in the past two months, Pei Lingyun just asked us to bury our heads in cultivation, saying that the spiritual energy of this Changbai Mountain Heaven and Earth is far more abundant than other places, and practicing the basic exercises is the right way, but he has never given us a way to quickly improve our cultivation. No matter how much we immerse ourselves in cultivation, there are only twelve hours a day, and we can absorb the refining heaven and earth aura every day, and it will take a few years to improve our cultivation, so where are we waiting? Do we have to be like Hu Xiaoling who is more than half a hundred years old to reach the ninth level of the qi cultivation period, so that it will never be possible to build a foundation successfully. Senior Sister Wanyan, what we lack most now is time!"

Shibata Sen's agitation finally made Wan Yan Long'er's heart moved, and she couldn't help but say, "Then according to the junior brother, what should I do?"

Shibata Mori breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally persuaded this senior sister.

He pondered for a moment and then said, "Some time ago, Pei Lingyun said that we should hurry up our cultivation in the past three years, and there will be a great opportunity after three years! In my opinion, Grand Master Jiawei must have made a three-year covenant with Pei Lingyun, and after three years, the two of them should have important things to do with their respective Qi cultivation period cultivators. And when the time comes, I will take the lead, Senior Sister Wanyan, you can completely change the court, after all, being a disciple of a monk in the middle stage of foundation building is much more promising than being a disciple of a monk in the early stage of foundation building!"

After Yan Long'er was silent for a moment, she said, "What about you, what is your purpose?"

Shibata Sen smiled bitterly and said, "Senior sister, what other purpose do I have? You should know that I have the qualifications of the three-attribute spiritual root, and I have the worst qualifications among the eleven personal disciples, if it weren't for the fact that I have the wood spider given by the great master of Jiawei, plus it was brought into Changbai Mountain by Pei Lingyun, otherwise it would be impossible to become a personal disciple at all." ”

"The reason why I care so much about my senior sister is that I can't forget my junior brother after my senior sister can soar. In addition, if I can persuade my senior sister to join Master Jiawei, I believe that Master Jiawei's practice of rewarding him for his merits will definitely benefit his junior brother. ”

Shibata Sen's words finally made Wan Yan Long'er's doubts disappear, think about Shibata Sen's eight-sided exquisite appearance, the style of doing things is indeed like this.

After a long time, Wan Yan Long'er finally spoke: "I know, I'll think about it, you go first." ”

Shibata Mori said this, and naturally he would not let Wan Yan Long'er express his position immediately. He arched his hand and began to walk towards the exit of the grotto.

Wanyan Long'er also followed him and walked out of the grotto.

Hearing that the two were gone, Wu Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they weren't discovered by the two, and if they found out that they overheard the two of them trying to change the court, they might have to shut up completely.

Killing people is the best way to shut up a person.

Wu Lu hurriedly put on the clothes of the sect given by Pei Lingyun, packed the dirty clothes he took off along with the booklet, and carried them on his back.

Just after Wu Lu walked a few steps, he suddenly heard a sound from the entrance of the grotto.

Wu Lu was shocked, thinking that his traces had been discovered by the two. Hurriedly hiding in the shadow of a stone pillar, he crouched down and held his breath.

By this time it was already sunset, and the light in the cave was a little dim.

Wu Lu cautiously poked his head out to look, only to see that Yan Long'er had gone and returned. She looked thoughtful, and she didn't see the arrogance and domineering of her usual days.

Holding the whip that beat Wu Lu that day, he whipped the rocks in the grotto weakly, and didn't notice Wu Lu hiding inside.

Wan Yan Long'er walked around alone at the entrance of the grotto, sometimes contemplative, sometimes whipped, and sometimes silently muttering to herself.

After about half an hour like this, Yan Long'er took the whip and walked towards the cave.

Wu Lu held his breath and didn't dare to make any sound,

And Wanyan Long'er walked to a place five or six zhang away from Wu Lu, where there was a relatively large hot spring pool.

Wanyan Long'er bent down Yingying's thin waist, stretched out her hand to explore the hot spring water, felt that the water temperature was moderate, the water quality was clear, and she actually turned her back to Wu Lu and began to untie her clothes.

She... Do you want to take a bath?

Wu Lu's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his two eyes couldn't move away anymore, staring at Yan Long'er's faded clothes one by one.

After Yan Long'er's coat faded, he turned around slightly, revealing a silhouette, and in the dim light in the grotto, Wu Lu only saw the beautiful neck and delicate collarbone under the head of the mantis.

However, as the range of Yan Long'er's movements became larger and larger, Wu Lu finally saw the pair of crisp breasts like clotted white jade, half-covered and half-hidden, and in the dim light, it became more and more attractive.

Wanyan Long'er completely took off her skirt and sat naked on the edge of the hot spring pool, a pair of long and well-proportioned legs were playfully patting the pool water. She took off the hairpin, and a black and beautiful green silk fell like a waterfall, covering the slender and slender waist.

Wu Lu licked his lips, and said with hatred in his heart: "Seeing your body completely can be regarded as avenging the whip of the day." Feng Shui takes turns, God is really fair. On the other day, you forced me to take off my mandarin duck battle jacket, and today I will watch you take a shower and undress, and I will look at you all over your body. ”

Wanyan Long'er entered the water, because the hot spring pool was very shallow, she could still show half of her body when she squatted in the pool, and her breasts were just splashed by the hot spring water. Wan Yan Long'er bent down and splashed her hair into the hot spring water. After a while, he waved his head violently, and the tips of his long hair splashed with water droplets, and the posture of stroking his hair was very charming.

The spring cold bathes in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water is slippery and creamy.

This beauty bath can make Wu Lu too addicted, and his breathing can't be controlled and he becomes slightly short.

Not good!

Wu Lu obviously felt that Yan Long'er's expression that was originally relaxing suddenly stiffened, and his eyes slowly turned towards the stone pillar where Wu Lu was hiding, and finally stared straight at it.

"Who?"

After Yan Long'er's divine sense, he couldn't detect five or six zhang away, but he faintly felt that something was wrong there.

Wu Lu's mind turned sharply, at this time, Yan Long'er didn't have a wisp of her body, and when he escaped at this time, she would definitely not go out of the water to chase him. If she waited until she got dressed and came to investigate, she would be dead.

As soon as he thought about the pros and cons of the situation, Wu Lu no longer dodged, and immediately rushed out from behind the stone pillar and rushed towards the hot spring pool where Yan Long'er bathed.

After Yan Long'er looked at Wu Lu who suddenly appeared stupidly and rushed over, only when Wu Lu was far away from her did she realize that half of her body was seen by him.

Angry, Yan Long'er hurriedly shrunk her body into the hot spring water, watched Wu Lu rush to the edge of the pool, watched Wu Lu take away all her clothes, and then turned around and ran towards the entrance of the grotto.

While running, Wu Lu threw away Yan Long'er's clothes in all directions, and finally didn't forget to turn around and tease Yan Long'er.

"Senior sister, don't blame me, it's really your jade body that is too tempting, and I am reluctant to leave, so I have been hiding until now. ”

After throwing away Yan Long'er's clothes, Wu Lu quickly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.

It took a long time for Yan Long'er to grit her teeth and almost go crazy in the hot spring grotto.

"Wu Lu, I'm going to kill you! I swear that I will crush your bones and scatter ashes to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
