Chapter 44: The Origin of the Matter

Aunt Zhou sneered: "My body is too weak, and it may be difficult to regain my mobility tonight." But since I've already woken up, why do I have to run away? Ning Dan, who have I been afraid of facing the enemy head-on?" As he spoke, a strong sense of confidence was about to emerge.

"That's right. Tian Xu slapped his head, "Aunt Zhou is a spiritual cultivator, and she doesn't need to fight the enemy with her body, as long as she is in a sober state, ordinary Ning Dan cultivators don't have the courage to fight against her." "This is the confidence of spiritual cultivators.

Zhou Aiping asked, "What kind of exercise is the mantra you just recited? ”

"It was passed down to me by my mother to save my life. Tian Xu didn't want to dwell on this issue, and asked, "Aren't you Shennongmen and the Kunlun faction allies, and why did they do something to you?"

Zhou Aiping said: "It's a long story. In the current cultivation world, a large amount of aura is needed to advance, and the higher the realm cultivator, the more aura is needed, while the aura in the natural environment is getting less and less. ”

"In this case, pills and elixirs have become necessities in the cultivation world. The specialty of our Shennong Sect is alchemy, and many sects need to rely on our pills for cultivation. ”

"But alchemy requires elixir, and the total amount of this elixir is getting smaller and smaller, and in desperation, we can only try to control the output of elixir, and ask all sects to use elixir in exchange for elixir. ”

"In fact, you can also directly use elixir to cultivate. However, this is too wasteful, and the efficiency is much worse than using pills. ”

"In recent years, there has been an explosive growth of high-level cultivators of the Kunlun Sect, and the demand for elixirs has increased, while their annual elixir income has not increased, causing their elixirs to be in short supply, which is still the result of trying our best to take care of their ally. ”

"Changtian is ignorant, and he persecuted Ziyan so much, and he also relied on the supply of pills. ”

"In recent decades, our Shennongmen has had bad luck, only four people have entered Ningdan, and our strength has dropped a lot. Later, Uncle Wen has been in retreat for more than 20 years now, and there is still no news, and Senior Brother Hao Qi was killed by Xu Guanyin again. It is estimated that the Kunlun faction moved its mind because of this, wanting to annex our Shennongmen, seize our alchemy secret method, elixir, and pill, and alchemy itself. ”

"The Kunlun Party is so good to you, it should not only be because of Ziyan, it is estimated that he still likes your elixir and wants to win you over to join the Kunlun faction. Recently, there are a lot of precious elixirs that have appeared in your hands, and they have attracted the attention of various sects, so you must be careful. ”

"What I gave you just now is a USB disk, which records some secret methods related to alchemy, as well as the method of entering our Shennongmen Inheritance Holy Land Danwang Valley, which should be what the Kunlun faction wants to get the most. ”

Hearing Zhou Aiping say this, Tian Xu hurriedly took out the USB drive and returned it to her, saying, "You have recovered, this USB drive should be taken back first." I have no intention of joining Shennongmen, and the pressure is too great to hold in my hands. ”

Zhou Aiping said: "It's okay, since I am the master of this Shennong, I really can't give you this thing casually." However, this time I have accepted such a big love from you, if you want to use pills in the future, or if you want to understand the knowledge of alchemy, I will never shirk it. ”

Zhou Aiping's ribs on both sides were broken a total of five times, Tian Xu helped her pick them up, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he offered to say goodbye: "Aunt Zhou, I have some connections with the Kunlun faction, and I really don't want to do anything with them." Now that you have the ability to protect yourself, I'll take my leave. ”

Zhou Aiping said: "Okay, be careful all the way. That purple boundless seems to be bold, but in fact, it is not broad-minded. You offended him this time, and you should be careful that he seeks revenge in the future. In addition, the matter between you and Ziyan may not go too well, so you must be mentally prepared. ”

Tian Xu nodded yes, and then said: "Aunt Zhou, you have a feud with the Kunlun faction this time, if you want to retaliate in the future, please kill less, please." ”

Zhou Aiping nodded and agreed.

Tian Xu was just about to get up, when he suddenly frowned and said, "It seems to be a little troublesome, the owner of the cave seems to have returned." ”

Zhou Aiping didn't understand what Tian Xu meant for a while, and asked strangely, "What cave owner?"

Tian Xu said: "This is a bear cave, the owner here is a big brown bear, 400 meters away from here, it seems to have discovered our smell." ”

Zhou Aiping didn't care, and said: "My body is weak and it is difficult to move, this guy is here just in time to be a mount for me, you don't have to worry." ”

The two waited in the cave for a short time, and the big brown bear found their place and swooped down on them. The big brown bear weighed nearly 1,000 catties, and when it ran up, its hooves hit the ground, and the sound of "plopping and plopping" could be heard even by ordinary people from a long distance, and it had the momentum of shaking the mountains.

Did Tian Xu feel any movement from Zhou Aiping, but suddenly found that the momentum in the cave was condensed, and the bear stopped at the entrance of the cave and no longer entered, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes. He raised his foot several times, as if he wanted to exit the hole, but finally gave up on the run, and lay on the ground to make a bowed appearance.

Then, the big guy was like a good dog, shaking his short little tail, and his mouth was close to the ground and slowly came to Zhou Aiping's front to accept the caresses. Even Tian Xu, who was watching from the sidelines, could feel its closeness to Zhou Aiping.

Tian Xu took out a large piece of beef from the space and handed it to Zhou Aiping, and after a while, the big guy was lying in the corner of the cave, eating happily, and the little depression when he was just subdued had already been thrown out of the clouds.

Tian Xu saw that the big brown bear was still unsatisfied after eating the beef, and took out a few steamed buns, thinking about the addiction of teasing the bear, but he didn't expect this guy to miss his contribution to the beef at all, but instead put on a vicious appearance and snatched his steamed buns, which made Zhou Aiping laugh.

Tian Xu said goodbye to Zhou Aiping and wanted to take advantage of the period before dawn to go farther. Who knew that Zhou Aiping was unwilling to endure the smell in this bear cave, rode a big brown bear, and broke up with Tian Xu.

Tian Xu didn't have a fixed destination, he only hoped to avoid the Kunlun faction and other cultivators who were interested in him, find a place with abundant spiritual energy and a comfortable environment, heal the injuries on his body, and then strive to impact the Ning Dan, at least to achieve the greatest degree of qi gathering, so that he could have more confidence when facing enemies in the cultivation world who were overtly or secretly eyeing his elixir.

To be honest, with his current realm, Tian Xu really didn't dare to blatantly ask Zi Yan to marry Zi Yan in front of Zi Wuji, he was really not sure that Zi Wuji would not catch him and ask about the elixir.
