Chapter 13 Northern Xuanwu Prefecture

Xiao Tian said: "No matter who the master is, Xiao Tian only knows that the master treats Xiao Tian very well, and without the master, Xiao Tian is just a waste who can't cultivate." Master's face softened slightly: "Master and Namoda are by no means the same kind of people. But you're lucky, it's not bad to meet this Moda. During this period of time, you will follow him to experience, remember that no matter what he says, don't waste refining your body. As for those two fruits, how are you going to use them?" Xiao Tian said: "The disciple doesn't know how to use them, and he is about to ask the master. The master said, "This kind of thing itself contains some heaven and earth vitality, but it is just a little more or less. Except for those with severe toxicity or extreme attributes, most of them are swallowed directly. Your two fruits are of very poor quality and are not poisonous, so just swallow them directly. However, I advise you not to take it. Xiao Tian was puzzled: "Why is that?" Master said: "The way of cultivation is to go against the sky, to cultivate oneself, and to go against the destiny of heaven." Only by discovering one's own potential and breaking the shackles of the laws of heaven and earth can one escape the universe and be immortal. Therefore, the best way to cultivate is to practice without any external force, and to rely entirely on one's own penance. The reason why monks regard all kinds of heaven and earth spiritual objects as rare is because the Mandate of Heaven is sometimes poor, and the vast majority of monks do not rely on these external objects, and there is no possibility of breaking through before the arrival of the life limit. With the help of external forces, in the process of cultivation at the lower stage, it is indeed possible to achieve the effect of leaps and bounds, and it is relatively easy to break through the low-level barrier, but this kind of cultivator, the more difficult it is to break through later, and in the later stage of cultivation, the difficulty of breaking through increases by more than a thousand times, and there is no hope of attaining the avenue of immortality. However, the people of the world are ignorant, and most monks die before they reach a high level of cultivation, and the powerful monks only repent after reaching a certain level, but they can't turn back, and they just try their best to find a way to remedy. Your own qualifications are poor, and according to the cultivation methods of ordinary monks, you will only be inferior to them, and you can only survive in death, either you will achieve nothing, or you will attain the Great Dao. Therefore, whatever kind of heaven and earth treasure it is, it is just dirt to me, and I can use it in exchange for what I need, and I can't use it to improve my cultivation. Xiao Tian suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Master, the disciple has written it down." In the future, you must follow your cultivation and dare not disobey it. Master said, "This is just a suggestion, not an order. If you really can't break through the bottleneck, you have to use external objects, and I don't force it. After a pause, he said, "You have to overcome the difficulties in cultivation by yourself, and I won't help you." Even if it's a matter of life and death, you have to go through it yourself, don't think that everything will be fine with the presence of the Master. I'm not going to make a move, if you can't get through, it's your fate, you have to remember it, don't leave it to chance. Xiao Tian replied: "Disciple keep it in mind. The master nodded: "You can follow Namoda for a while during this time, I have some things, I don't have time to take care of you, and I will come back when I am done." Go back. Xiao Tian had no choice but to go back as he was told.

Two days later, Mo Da brought Xiaotian to his residence again, and Wu Yuemei was also there. The three of them entered Mo Da's quiet room, and Mo Da still arranged a soundproofing ban before saying: "Brother, Wu Daoyou has already seen your two fruits, one is an extremely rare thorn horn tea fruit, and it is also an extremely poisonous alchemy elixir, but the other is an ordinary fruit, which has no effect, but also contains severe poison." Wu Daoyou said that the iron-armored pangolin was highly poisonous, and it must have often fed on these poisons, and the fruits were probably prepared for the young beast. It's a pity that you didn't take all the fruit away at that time, brother. Xiao Tian said: "At that time, the situation was urgent, and I really didn't have time to doppelganger, so I just grabbed the young beast and grabbed it with my hand." Wu Yuemei said: "Brother Xiaotian, I didn't expect you to be an amorous and righteous person, I was disrespectful that day, and I ask my brother for forgiveness." "Saying that he gave a salute, he actually made amends to Xiaotian. Xiao Tian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Fairy Wu doesn't have to be like this, Xiao Tian doesn't dare to be." Wu Yuemei said: "Your big brother Mo has always loved good people, those people have received his benefits, but they are only grateful, and they have never given him a single benefit, but he said that he helped people without asking for anything in return, until he met your brother, he was also a fool and a fool." Then he continued: "These two fruits are too dangerous to take directly, and they must be refined by adding a few medicinal herbs. Although I am not talented, but Yu Alchemy has a lot of experience, I want to ask my brother to cut his love and give me these two fruits, I don't know what you think?" Xiao Tian said: "Fairy Wu is polite. I have already given these two fruits to Brother Mo, and Fairy Wu and Brother Mo have discussed. Wu Yuemei said: "He's a bad man, I can't watch my brother suffer." In this way, I can't take out anything comparable to these two fruits in my hand, there are fifty spirit coins here, you take it first, and when the alchemy is successful, you and I will divide it equally, how about it?" Xiao Tian hurriedly shook his hand: "No need, no need." My cultivation is limited, the pill is useless to me, and the spirit coin is not needed, so this fruit should be given to you by Brother Mo. Wu Yuemei said: "Brother, if you don't want spirit coins and pills, I can't ask for the fruit." When Mo Da saw it, he came over and said: "The spirit coin Xiaotian received it first, it is not considered the money to sell the fruit, my brother has just arrived, and I will also need equipment to take on tasks in the future, which is the cost of my equipment for my brother." If the elixir is refined, let's talk about how to distribute it. Wu Yuemei said angrily: "Are you saying that my alchemy skills are poor?" Mo Da hurriedly smiled and said: "Your alchemy level, if you say second in Hongwu City, who dares to say first? But it has not been refined yet, it is too early to say that it is distributed, brother, do you say yes or no?" Xiao Tian not only said more, but Wu Yuemei also said no more.

Wu Yuemei concentrated on alchemy, and three months later refined a furnace of Tianxin Pill, which is an elixir that consolidates the foundation and cultivates and improves cultivation, exactly fifteen, Xiaotian refused, and finally had to agree to divide the three equally, each of them got five. Since then, Xiaotian has temporarily lived in Hongwu City, and Mo Da took him to take on two-level tasks, watching him do it himself, but he was barely competent, and then there were earth-level and heaven-level tasks, and he also took Xiaotian to do it two or three times. Seeing that Xiao Tian's experience has grown, his cultivation has gradually improved, and sometimes Xiao Tian does human-level tasks alone, and Mo Da let him go by himself.

North Xuanwu City. This is the central city of Xuanwu Prefecture, is the most prosperous and developed place in the whole Xuanwu Prefecture, the seven top sects in Xuanwu Prefecture, the four major Xiuzhen families are operating various industries in Xuanwu City, expanding resources, and it is also the base camp of the Gu family, one of the four major Xiuzhen families in Xuanwu Prefecture.

Early that morning, before dawn, in a remote courtyard of the Gu family's manor, a child was in a plum blossom pile array, pushing the sandbags hanging on the piles one by one, and then entering it, allowing the sandbags to hit his body heavily. The sound of "bang" was endless, and the child was silent, swinging from time to time to hit the sandbag more vigorously and hitting the body more powerfully. The time passed quickly, and there was a noise outside the courtyard, and someone was already up. A few children walked outside the courtyard, and a faint voice floated over and fell into the child's ears: "He really has perseverance, he has been practicing for five years, and he still hasn't given up." "The elders are helpless, saying that he is congenital and unable to cultivate, which is miserable enough. "Sooner or later, he will be driven to the outer courtyard, and it will be in vain." Hearing these words, the child silently lowered his head, and after the sandbag slammed on his body, he slowly stopped a little bit.

After a while, it was already dark, and the child slowly walked to other places and continued to exercise with other equipment. Perhaps stimulated, he practiced so hard that many parts of his body were injured and blood oozed. At this moment, he heard a cry from outside the courtyard: "Tian'er, are you working hard again? Don't practice today, if there are guests coming, you go to have breakfast first, and then go with your mother to meet the guests." With the call, a woman in Tsing Yi walked in outside the courtyard gate, looking only in her twenties. When the woman saw the blood stains on the child's body, she couldn't help but feel distressed, and said softly: "Tian'er, cultivation needs to be gradual and gradual, don't be in a hurry, blindly exert yourself, often too much. Don't do that next time. The child did not speak, but nodded silently. The woman sighed and walked out of the courtyard with his hand.

After eating, the woman took the child to a hall where there were already three people, two men and a boy about eight or nine years old. Seeing the woman come in, the two men got up from their seats, and the man sitting in the main seat said, "Son, come and see Uncle Lo." The man sitting in the guest seat bowed to the woman and said, "There is Mrs. Lao." The woman smiled and saluted: "Brother Luo, what else is polite between you and me." The previous man said, "Tian'er, this time your Uncle Lo has brought an elder brother to be your companion, and you are going to stay at home for a while, so you have to entertain you." Then he pointed to the boy in the hall and said: "This is your brother of the Luo family, his name is Luo Wentian, but it happens that there is a heavenly character in your name, it seems that you two are destined." ”

Tian'er looked at Naluo and asked the sky, and found that the other party was also looking at him. The two children were about the same height, Tian'er's body was very stocky, they were already muscular at a young age, and their complexion was a healthy bronze, but Luo Wentian looked very thin, his body was thin, and his complexion was a sickly pale. The woman said, "Brother Luo, sit down for a while, and I'll take the child to the residence to see if he is used to it, and let the two children get close for a while." With that, he walked out of the hall with the two children.

The two men in the hall sat down again. The man on the main throne is named Gu Yuting, is the leader of the Gu family's generation of disciples, only three hundred years old has broken through to the Yuan infant stage, his wife's name is Bai Xiufei, talent is also extraordinary, and Gu Yuting is generally also a Yuan infant monk, unexpectedly the will of heaven makes people, the husband and wife have been united for many years, there has been no heir, and the people who cultivate immortals do not attach much importance to these originals, who knows that seven or eight years ago, Bai Xiufei suddenly became pregnant, and gave birth to a boy after being pregnant in October, which was originally a happy event, but then the husband and wife found that the child's congenital meridians were not connected, although there was a spiritual root, but it could not be cultivated。 The elders of the family were also alarmed, and they were helpless under careful investigation. After the child grew up, the husband and wife also tried to let him cultivate, but it never worked. This kid is also hardworking, he has been practicing the family tradition of forging the body and mind, and his body is very strong, but he has never been able to enter the first stage of qi refining.

The man on the guest seat is named Luo Yuanshan, and he is also a disciple of the Luo family, one of the four major Xiuzhen families in Xuanwu Prefecture. At this time, Luo Yuanshan suddenly said to Gu Yuting: "Brother Gu, you and I are like brothers, and I will say it directly if I have something to say." To tell you the truth, I came to your mansion this time because I was entrusted by the head of the family, and I asked for something. Gu Yuting saw that he suddenly made a secret noise, and it was unusual for the governor to make a statement, so he hurriedly laid down a ban on the sound of the voice, and then said: "Brother said it directly, it doesn't matter, in this mansion, foolish brother, idlers and others dare not trespass, I have informed your sister-in-law, let her pay attention outside." Luo Yuanshan opened his mouth and said: "The little brother came to your mansion today, but he really came here for my nephew to ask the sky. Gu Yuting bowed his head and said: "This is the orphan of Brother Xiaoyun, right?" Brother Xiaoyun is heroic and extraordinary, he is really the leader of the generation of disciples of you and me, but God is jealous of talents, and the fall of the middle way is really regrettable, and he thinks about it!" Luo Yuanshan heard him talk about it, his expression was also gloomy, and he said: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law have suffered misfortunes, and they have all fallen, leaving only Wentian as a child, and my Luo family is also a treasure, and he is bound to raise him as an adult." Brother Gu has already seen my nephew, have you found it?" Gu Yuting said: "When I first saw you today, because of your brotherly relationship, I can't recklessly investigate carefully. But this kid is extraordinary, it seems to be the Three Spirit Roots, it is said that he should cultivate extremely fast, and the partial birth is only the appearance of the Qi refining period, and the bones of the body are also a little weaker, somehow?" Luo Yuanshan sighed: "Today is for this matter. Today I told Brother Gu, please keep the secret for my Luo family, don't tell anyone except my sister-in-law and wife in this matter, even if it's the Elders' Church, don't publicize it too much, the last resort, the fewer people who know, the better. My nephew is the four spiritual roots of gold, water, wood and fire, which are in line with each other, and the four attribute spiritual roots are all superb, which is the best talent of my Luo family since the ancestors opened the sect and built the sect for millions of years, and it is also ranked in the top three. Gu Yuting was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but shout: "What?" After calling it, he knew that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "The foolish brother has lost his temper." That is the case, why is the cultivation so slow?" Luo Yuanshan said: "When my eldest brother and sister-in-law traveled abroad, they were plotted by adulterers, and my sister-in-law was pregnant at that time. Although the elders of the family did not hesitate to spend on cultivation and used their great magical powers to temporarily keep him immortal, he was always unconscious, and after giving birth to a son and a daughter, he died without even saying a word. My niece and nephew have been injured in the womb, and my niece can't see from the congenital eye, but her cultivation is also smooth, but she is only a double spirit root, and her talent is not as good as this nephew. Ask Tian, this kid, is extremely talented, Elder Taishang immediately gave a death order, asking my Luo family to train him to become a talent at any cost, and it will fall on him for my Luo family to regain the glory of the ancestor back then. It's a pity that when he started to cultivate, he found that he was also congenitally damaged, his body was too weak, and although he entered the realm quickly, he couldn't bear too much aura, and the meridians of his whole body were often blown apart. Elder Taishang thought about it for a long time, and summoned the head of the family to give me some instructions, asking me to come and ask Brother Gu to treat this child. After listening to this, Gu Yuting already understood eight or nine points in his heart, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I already understand my brother's intention, but I can't make the decision on this matter." ”

Luo Yuanshan said: "Brother Gu's hardship, of course the younger brother saves. It's not a secret, the younger brother came here with the secret order of the elder of my Luo family, just because my two families have been friends for generations, once this matter is put on the surface, if it doesn't work, it will inevitably hurt the harmony of the two families, so the younger brother came forward and begged Brother Gu to inform the head of your family to see if this matter is possible, what requirements the Gu family has, the younger brother can agree on behalf of the Luo family. Gu Yuting thought for a while, couldn't help sighing, and said, "Brother is here, but you want my Gu family to promise to teach your nephew the Divine and Demon Immortal Body?" Luo Yuanshan arrived: "Exactly." I also hope that Brother Gu will deal with it. Gu Yuting said: "This god and demon immortal body, is my Gu family's town gate mastery, when my Gu family ancestor fell, because of the suddenness of the incident, many things did not have time to explain, the second generation of ancestors in the sorting out of relics, found the ancestor's last words behind this exercise, only said that this exercise is the treasure of the Gu family's town gate, future generations of disciples must practice this exercise." Because of the solemn words of the ancestors, the second generation of ancestors made a rule that this exercise will never be passed on. Luo Yuanshan said: "My Gu family also knows about this matter, but it is only related to the rise and fall of my Luo family, and Elder Taishang was also helpless, so he thought of this strategy." Elder Taishang said, no matter what the Gu family asks, my Luo family will definitely agree, and my two families have been friends for generations, if my Luo family can prosper, I will never dare to forget the Gu family, Elder Taishang is willing to swear with the soul, if you violate this word, you will not be able to soar for the rest of your life, and the soul will completely die. Gu Yuting hurriedly said: "Elder Taishang is serious, my Gu family has no such intention." ”

Gu Yuting thought about it again and again, and finally said to Luo Yuanshan: "Brother, there is one thing I won't hide from you, you can decide after listening." I first swear by my soul that if I lie to the deceitful word, my soul will be destroyed and I will completely perish in the world. Luo Yuanshan was shocked: "Why did Brother Gu say this? ”
