Chapter Twenty-Six: Getting Acquainted with the Emperor's Pearl
"First brother, I will roast a demon beast for you on this stove, and then I will meditate and heal, you are responsible for the surrounding vigilance, and if there is any situation, come back and tell me in time. ”
When the little ant heard that there was something to eat, he didn't hear Xue Ying's instructions at all, his eyes were shining, and he just nodded vigorously.
Xue Ying sighed, resigned herself to roasting the demon beast meat, went to the outside of the cave to arrange the formation, and also set a trap in the passage, so that she could meditate with confidence.
Xue Ying's spiritual qi was circulating, and he unexpectedly found that the bottleneck of the ninth layer of qi training, which had not been broken through before, actually showed signs of loosening. She secretly wondered if she had dredged the meridians during the fight, which was really an unexpected joy!
It took less than half a month to reach the ninth layer of qi training, and the injuries in his body were still a little deficient in qi and blood, but he was basically healed, and he could also use the turtle breath technique proficiently, Xue Ying was satisfied and ended the retreat.
"Brother Yi, where are you, it's time for us to go!"
"Xiao Ying, you can figure it out. Woo woo, without you, I wouldn't be able to get out of the hole, I've been eating soil for half a month!" After speaking, he deliberately wiped his non-existent tears.
"Okay, don't fake crying, after you go out, I guarantee that you will not have food for half a month. ”
"Woo woo, how can half a month make up for my weak mind, at least one month is enough. ”
Xue Ying broke through the cultivation, and was happy in her heart, so she said in a good temper, "Okay, a month is a month, quickly climb on my shoulder, let's go!"
One person and one worm came out of the burrow, Xue Ying was going to continue south, but the little ant stopped, "Xiao Ying, don't fly south anymore, this will go to the center of the endless forest, I don't know what's inside, but every time I pass by, it will be creepy, many human monks have the same purpose as you, and they never come out again." ”
"But I have to go to the big sect to learn the arts, the sword technique is only one of them, and the most important thing is the exercises after building the foundation. Xue Ying was embarrassed, in order to be stronger, the sword mountain and the sea of fire must also break through!
"We can go around from the side, the Endless Forest is vast, and I know a path that can lead you to that side, and it will take about three months. ”
Xue Ying pondered for a while, "Okay, let's go from that path, and when I cultivate further, let's go to the Endless Forest Center to see what the mystery is inside!"
......
Two and a half months later, Xue Ying was led by the little ants, and with his sensitivity to spiritual power fluctuations, he avoided many powerful demon beasts all the way and successfully bypassed the center of the Endless Forest, much faster than Xue Ying to explore the path and hurry.
On this day, the little ant was gnawing a roast leg of lamb, and its tentacles suddenly moved, "Xiao Ying, there are spiritual power fluctuations not far in front of us, but it's not very strong, do you want to go and see it?"
Xue Ying had long been a little bored because of hiding and hiding during this time, and with the character of a little ant (greedy for life and afraid of death), if there was danger, she would have run away with her, so she decided to go and see the excitement.
"Hurry up and eat, we'll go after eating!" The light in his eyes could tell that Xue Ying couldn't wait.
After the little ant gobbled up, he climbed on Xue Ying's shoulder to take a nap. Xue Ying silently recited the Turtle Breath Technique, and quietly approached the place where many people gathered.
A young woman of fourteen or fifteen years old, gorgeously dressed, with beautiful facial features, with a childish face, and her hands on her waist,
"I saw this mandarin spirit flower first, and I picked it first, it's mine! You want to rob it, although I can't beat you, but my guards are not vegetarian......s!
After speaking, she also made a playful grimace, there were indeed more than a dozen guards behind her, all of them were above Xue Ying, and there was even an older person, who was obviously unfathomable in cultivation, firmly guarding the woman's side.
At this time, Xue Ying suddenly felt some abnormal movements in her wrist, and it turned out that the Void Grass was rubbing herself with leaves.
"Do you want to drink blood, or do you need to put down roots?"
The leaf shook slightly, and then the tip of the leaf pointed in the direction where the mandarin spirit flower was.
"You want the Mandarin Spirit Flower? It works for you, doesn't it?"
This time the leaves were not swaying, but rubbing again.
Xue Ying was very conflicted in her heart, for her, the Void Grass was no longer just a help from the future immortal cultivation world, but more of a relationship between relatives.
This was the first time it had told Xue Ying that it needed an elixir, and she couldn't bear to let it down. However, it was obvious that she could not beat the woman's guard, and she had a good impression of this playful and lively woman, and she had no way to rob her.
Xue Ying decided to wait and see what was going on, to see how things were going on, and to see if there was a peaceful way to obtain the elixir.
One of the opponents who was hostile to the woman walked out, he was handsome, but with a slightly gloomy aura, and said to the woman, "My cousin was rude to you just now, and I apologize to you for her first."
I don't know if you can sell us the Mandarin Spirit Flower in your hand, after all, this Mandarin Spirit Flower only has a miraculous effect on improving the quality of medicinal herbs, and it has no special function, and we just happen to need it. ”
This time, the woman's voice was much calmer, "I don't have any use for this mandarin spirit flower, but I can pick it if it looks good!" However, your cousin just yelled at me, I just threw it away and didn't sell it to you, and besides, I don't lack your spirit stones." ”
"You!" A woman on the other side had delicate facial features, but with a domineering look, it was difficult to deal with when she looked at it, and she glared resentfully.
"Cousin must not be rude! Daoyou, in this case, we will not waste each other's time, so let's go first. After speaking, as soon as he arched his hand to the other party, he dragged his reluctant cousin and the entourage behind him to step on the flying sword and leave.
Xue Ying was thinking about the possibility of trading with this woman, after all, she had not had a dispute with her, and it sounded like she didn't attach much importance to this mandarin spirit flower, so she only heard a shout,
"Don't hide your immortal cultivator friends in the distance, my family's Elder Keqing has already discovered you!"
Xue Ying was secretly vigilant, which showed that this Elder Keqing had at least Jin Dan cultivation, and he needed to be cautious in what he said and did, while quietly praying that this elder would not bother with a junior like himself about eavesdropping, he rushed to the opposite side of the woman and said sincerely,
"I'm a junior in the nearby city cultivator family, Xue Ying, I just found some quarrels here, so I came over to take a look, I don't have any malicious intent, I hope you don't misunderstand. ”
Who knows, the woman didn't care about Xue Ying's words at all, but fell in love with the little ant all of a sudden, and said excitedly and excitedly,
"I am Huangfu Mingzhu, the only daughter of Empress Yanguo. Is this little ant yours, it's so cute!"
Xue Ying complained in her heart, where can she see that this little ant is cute, obviously greedy and lazy and afraid of death, and she can rely on her appearance to deceive and deceive the simple little girl who is not deeply involved in the world.
"That's right, this little ant is my companion, and his name is Brother Yi. ”
"Hey, who's talking about my brother?" The little ant stood up from Xue Ying's shoulder and looked around with those bean-sized eyes.
"It can still talk, can I play with it for a few days? I can exchange my treasure with you. Huangfu Mingzhu said in surprise.
Xue Ying's heart moved, "You want to play with it for a few days, oh no, you want to play with it for a few days?"
"Hey, hey, the better, naturally, the more the better, I like the funny little monster beast the most!"
Xue Ying said with some embarrassment, "Daoyou's requirements are not high, I shouldn't have asked for any payment, but I really need the Mandarin Spirit Flower, and I also ask Daoyou to be able to cut love." ”
Huangfu Mingzhu thought that Xue Ying would open his mouth, but he didn't expect it to be just a flower that was not of much use to himself, and he opened his mouth to be rich, "What is a Mandarin Spirit Flower, just give it to you!" After speaking, he threw the Mandarin Spirit Flower directly to Xue Ying, without any nostalgia.
Xue Ying was overjoyed in her heart, it really didn't take any effort to get it, so she quickly caught the Mandarin Spirit Flower and put it in a storage bag, preparing to let the Void Grass absorb it tonight.
"Thank you, Daoyou, I'll discuss with Brother Yi and let him accompany you for three days. ”
"Okay, then hurry up. "Huangfu Mingzhu can't wait.
......
"First brother, you also saw what happened just now, can you go and accompany her for three days?" Xue Ying felt a little embarrassed, and had to say in a flattering tone.
The little ant glanced at her angrily and did not speak.
"I didn't mean to use you to make a deal, I really need Mandarin Linghua to give an important relative, and I can see that she just likes you and doesn't want to hurt you, so I agreed to her!"
The little ant was originally majestic and stood on his shoulder with high spirits, and after hearing this, he sat down.
Xue Ying continued, "You are second only to its companion in my heart, if there is something beneficial to your growth in the future, I will also work hard to help you grab it, grab it, these are not lying to you, they are all my heart." ”
Only then did the little ant open his mouth and speak to Xue Ying, "Okay, okay, I promised you, why are you so sensational, isn't it just three days, watch me conquer her with the charm of my first brother!"
After speaking, he also cooperated and shook his left front leg, making a brother out of the horse, who competed with the momentum.
Xue Ying knew that it was actually unwilling to leave her, but she made concessions. This made the status of the little ant in her heart rise a little, maybe she wouldn't die for it, but if she was in danger, there was a glimmer of chance of life, and she would go.
"Brother Yi is really a big hero, the little woman decided to wait for Brother Yi to come back, and roast demon beast meat for Brother Yi for a month, three a day. Xue Ying also cooperated with a face to see the hero's worship.
The little ant couldn't help but drool, climbed down from Xue Ying, and changed directly to Huangfu Mingzhu's shoulder.
"Wow, brother, you're really on my shoulder, talk to me, chat! I haven't seen a talking monster yet!" Huangfu Mingzhu's face was full of excitement, and he kept touching the little ant.
"Don't touch me, I'm a male ant, male and female can't kiss, don't keep touching me!"
"Haha, you are so beautiful! Your eyes are very spiritual, and the hard shell on your body is shiny. ”
"That's, I'm a brother, can I not look good?"
"Yes, yes, brother, what do you like, I have everything. ”
......
Xue Ying saw that this person was really a bit familiar at first sight, and she hated to see each other late, and she chatted endlessly. Seeing that it was getting late today, I had to step forward and interrupt.
