Sima Yuan's expression moved, and he immediately understood, and then showed a shy and addictive look, and his body also walked towards the back door.

Yuan Chengmo nodded imperceptibly at the few searching glances thrown at him, and above the banquet, it seemed that the atmosphere of laughter and laughter was getting stronger and stronger, I don't know whether it was ridicule or envy.

The high-crowned young man Wang Daosheng looked at Sima Yuan's departing back, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, and there seemed to be a trace of disdain rising slightly.

However, a hint of envy quietly slipped through his eyes.

It is rumored that the master of the courtyard is a famous beauty in the sect!

Enchanting posture, graceful posture, although Shaohua is no more, but the charm still exists.

Wang Daosheng smacked the wine in his mouth, but it felt like chewing wax, and it was tasteless.

When Yuan Chengmo and the others drank in a high cup, Sima Yuan did not 'serve' the courtyard master as he imagined, but plunged into the heart of the Purple Gold Lake on the inner island.

A few quarters of an hour later, Sima Yuan suddenly felt that a pressure suddenly disappeared, and after the threat had quietly receded, he suddenly perked up and knew that it was Yuan Chengmo who had done it.

His black light veil only wrapped his whole body, and the mana on his body was even more tight, and the whole person was like a black ribbon fish, shrouded in night, and then the moonlight quietly rowed towards the center of the lake.

He no longer hesitated, immediately sank to the bottom of the lake, and looked around, only to see that twenty zhang away from the left back, a pale white green lotus was gently swaying in the center of the lake, fluttering and offering a golden bowl.

Sima Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, and under the closed mouth, he began to twist the trick in his hand.

Suddenly, Sima Yuan felt a slight shock from the golden bowl, and under his eyes full of anticipation, he staggered towards a long slope.

As if noticing, the dust at the bottom of the lake began to shake, and the water was covered with a wave a foot high.

Sima Yuan's face changed, and a voice suddenly came out of his mouth, "Hurry!"

Hearing the sound of the golden bowl, it suddenly and quickly approached, and flew to the top of the longhill between breaths, and then the golden light flashed away, and the longpo gradually returned to its original state.

Sima Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, choked on several mouthfuls of lake water, and hurriedly held his breath.

He quickly swam towards the green and green lotus, and when he got closer, he found that although it was the same as an ordinary green lotus, it was surrounded by one hundred and eight green leaf lotus stems as thick as an arm, guarding it like stars and moons.

The green leaves are each a foot wide, but the green lotus is not more than a foot in size. And the aura on it was dim, as if it were a state of malaise, if it weren't for the thirty-six green lotus seeds on its lotus canopy and what Yuan Chengmo said, Sima Yuan would have thought that he had made a mistake.

Sima Yuan held his breath and looked up, he picked up the rhizome of the blue leaf and suspended it to the side of the lotus canopy, where dozens of huge and plump lotus seeds were lying quietly in it, waiting for Sima Yuan to pick them.

Excited, he took out a pair of tweezers made of bamboo and wood from the storage bag, gently pinched the lotus seeds, and then took them out.

With an uproar, Sima Yuan Huo Ran turned around, and the southwest one of the thirty-six blue leaf rhizomes dimmed, and Sima Yuan realized in his heart.

Those rhizomes are not only guarding the Holy Lotus, but also providing it with nutrients.

Sima Yuan didn't dare to delay, and after picking nine lotus seeds with bamboo and wood tweezers and quickly putting them away, he decided to retreat.

And at this moment, a low roar reached Sima Yuan's ears!

He suddenly changed greatly, and a huge coercion instantly covered Sima Yuan, like a turtle in an urn.

Sima Yuan's expression was shocked, it was actually the spirit beast that was comparable to the existence of the foundation!

Thousand-eyed clams!

Did it wake up? Didn't suppress it? Or was Yuan Chengmo cheating on him, intending to unload the mill and kill the donkey?

Several thoughts quickly flashed through Sima Yuan's mind, and for a moment, Huo Ran was in chaos.

He was cold, and he felt that the lake around him was like a piece of solidified ice slowly squeezing towards him.

A feeling of stagnation that was difficult to breathe came into his heart, and his gaze fell on his body like a pinprick in his body, making Sima Yuan's whole body tense.

His eyes showed despair, watching the terrifying aura slowly approaching, he sighed in his heart, and the secret path was over.

Suddenly, Sima Yuan seemed to notice a trace of breath coming from the storage bag, and the spirit beast's breath froze for a moment, and then slowly fell silent.

It seems that he retreated!

Sima Yuan was pardoned and quickly swam to the shore.

Then he went ashore in a hurry.

He looked back at the heart of the lake, a trace of palpitations and fear flashed in his eyes, and then touched the storage bag, there seemed to be a trace of doubt and joy in his eyes.

The last ray of light seemed to come out of the storage bag.

He put this matter down for the time being, and it was a great luck that he was able to get his life back by luck.

At this time, he looked back at the courtyard in Xiaozhu in the center of the lake, and he was inexplicably a little panicked in his heart, and he also faintly felt that something was wrong.

He looked at the pavilion where the banquet was taking place, and then glanced at Xiaozhu in the heart of the lake, and sighed softly in his heart.

When he returned to the remote building, Yuan Chengmo had already waited.

Sima Yuan breathed a sigh of relief on his face, and when he turned his hand, five green lotus seeds appeared in the palm of his hand.

"Living up to the trust of my senior brother, the lotus seeds have been taken. ”

Yuan Chengmo showed a smile on his face tightly, first made a slight move towards the center of the lake, and then in Sima Yuan's pupils, the golden bowl quietly appeared.

He turned around and hooked, and the three green lotus seeds fell into his hand, and after taking a closer look, he said, "Yes, it's green lotus seeds." ”

Sima Yuan saw that the other party took three of them, and he was not angry, his face was relieved, as agreed before, four or six points.

With a happy face, he took the green lotus seed into his arms, and kept laughing stupidly.

seems to be comfortable because of the small bargain, but in fact, it has already smiled.

Of the nine green lotus seeds, he took out five to deal with, and the other party took three away, and he still had six.

Yuan Chengmo frowned, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.

Sima Yuan was stunned in his heart, and said cautiously, "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

After Yuan Chengmo pondered for a while, he said slowly, "Now that you have obtained the green lotus seeds, you don't need to take them immediately, if you have the opportunity to learn the method of alchemy and medicine when you enter the Shangzong in the future, you can practice this 'Bigong Dan', this pill can help you when you build your foundation!"

Sima Yuan's heart was ecstatic, his eyes seemed to be shining, and his tone was a little excited, "Senior brother said that this lotus seed can be cultivated into a foundation building pill?"

Yuan Chengmo saw that he was so excited, and said with a smile, "Yes, but you still need to be cautious in this matter, after all, once the sect learns that the green lotus seed is lost, you and I will die without a place to be buried." ”

Sima Yuan's heart was awe-inspiring, and he naturally realized the hidden danger in it.

After hesitating for a moment, he frowned and said, "Senior brother, but this time I took five of them, won't he also find out when the people of the Sect come to pick them up in the future? ”

Yuan Chengmo waved his hand and said with a smile, "There are still nearly a few years before the green lotus seeds mature, and by then you and I may have already achieved the foundation, can't we cover up the matter of just one green lotus seed?"

Sima Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded and smiled, "In this way, then the junior brother will be relieved." ”

Yuan Chengmo slapped his forehead, "By the way, there is one more thing, you have to pay attention." ”

"After a while, there will be people from the upper sect who will come down. ”

Sima Yuan was taken aback, "The people of the Shangzong sect, they are here to investigate the cause of Zhao Shuang's death?"

Yuan Chengmo bowed, "Not bad, so you'd better not go out in the near future!"

Sima Yuan frowned and said, "The upper sect is going to send someone to investigate the cause of Xiao Chengzu's death, and the courtyard master is in retreat again, are they the head of the family?"

He raised his head and said, "Even the courtyard master has to avoid its edge, they can't be specially here for the courtyard master, right?"

When Yuan Chengmo heard this, he also frowned quietly, he didn't take this into account.

Then he shook his head, "Zhao Shuang died in the territory of Zijin Courtyard, and the courtyard master will naturally be suspected. It is estimated that those people in the sect know that the courtyard master is the mastermind behind the scenes, but above the general trend, they do not dare to move the courtyard master easily, and this time it should be to give an explanation to the Zhao family. ”

Sima Yuan's face changed slightly, and he gave the Zhao family an explanation? Since the courtyard master would not move, would he, as the executor, be handed over?

Yuan Chengmo saw that Sima Yuan's expression was wrong, his eyes flashed slightly, and he comforted him warmly, "Don't worry, the elders will never give up any disciple, you have made meritorious contributions to the sect, and you have also been in the mainstream of the academy, not only will you not be abandoned, but you will also be cultivated!"

"Those people came this time, although they are investigating the cause of Zhao Shuang's death, in fact, they are just dealing with errands, perfunctory, you don't have to worry!"

Then he thought about it, and with a flip of his palm, a white porcelain medicine bottle appeared on it, and a trace of pain quietly passed over Yuan Chengmo's face.

"This is the barrier-breaking pill, it has the effect of breaking the bottleneck, and now you have reached the peak of inhalation, after you break through the middle stage of qi refining, take this pill, you can break the barrier of the late stage in one fell swoop!"

Sima Yuan's eyes lit up, and he took the pill into his arms with lightning speed, as if he had the posture of not letting go of the killing.

He solemnly clenched his fists towards Yuan Chengmo, "Senior brother, don't worry, in the next year, the junior brother will definitely concentrate on cultivation and never disappoint the high expectations of the senior brother!"

Yuan Chengmo squeezed out a hint of a smile, pretending to smile indifferently, "Okay, then senior brother will wait for the good news of junior brother!"

Immediately sent Sima Yuan out of the door, and saw him striding away.

Yuan Chengmo breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around and go back to the building when a voice rose again,

"Senior brother, can I trouble you one more thing?

--------

When Sima Yuan returned to Xiaolou, there was not only a bottle of Barrier Breaking Pill in his arms, but also something like a compass.

Sima Yuan took this thing that called the array plate thoughtfully, his face was cloudy for a while, how could he not hear the meaning of the surname Yuan, the courtyard master could not move, but he had to give an explanation to the Zhao family, so in addition to handing over him, the murderer, who else would he hand over?

Sima Yuan's eyes gradually showed a look of madness, "If you really want to hand me over at that time, then we don't mind fighting a fish and breaking the net!"

Then Sima Yuan gradually calmed down, looked at the array plate in his hand, and after being silent for a while, he sighed lightly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to reveal bitterness.

In fact, before killing Zhao Shuang, he had expected it, and thought that this day would come later, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's really unpleasant."

His face was quietly solemn, and he muttered to himself, "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to think too much, the only way to improve your strength as soon as possible is to strive to step into the late stage of qi refining as soon as possible!"

He glanced at the formation plate in his arms and decided to put the formation outside the small building first.

Immediately, according to Yuan Chengmo's instructions, he puffed up and cast spells, and after shouting, he played a series of spiritual tricks towards the spirit array disk, and the spirit tricks quickly drilled in, accumulating more and more, but the compass was silent as usual, not moving at all.

Sima Yuan was anxious, so he simply stopped being reserved, increased the mana infusion, and after a while, he went all out, sweating profusely.

After taking three breaths, he saw that the silent array suddenly made a buzzing sound, and then slowly floated under Sima Yuan's great joy.

He slammed the spirit and slapped the storage bag on the right, and several Lingyuan stones as big as chicken eggs were sprinkled on the bed, and he quickly threw the Lingyuan stones on the array plate.

In an instant, the light was great, and then a light shield slowly spread, and the breathing effort enveloped Sima Yuan.

Then, under Sima Yuan's gaze, the light mask slowly covered the entire small building, and at the same time, the speed gradually slowed down.

Sima Yuandun knew that this thing had reached its limit, and immediately played a series of tricks again.

The mask trembled slightly, then stabilized after a few moments, then flickered a few times before suddenly vanishing.

Sima Yuan's expression perked up, and he hurriedly got down, walked to the window, and threw out an attack casually.

Softly.

But I saw a ripple in the air swinging away without wind, and then turned into nothing.

Take pills, suck spirit stones!

Sima Yuan solemnly took out the 'Qi Nourishing Pill', tore off the cork, and poured one into his palm.

Suddenly, a strong smell of Dan incense rushed to the tip of his nose, and a milky white light mist rose up, Sima Yuan took a deep breath, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and his whole body was comfortable, like entering the realm of fairy bliss.

The intoxication on his face slowly faded, and when he opened his eyes and opened to the Qi Nourishing Pill, he was full of heat and excitement.

Then he didn't look at it anymore, and just raised his head and swallowed it.

As soon as the pill entered his throat, Sima Yuan felt that the pill power instantly turned into a warm current, and went straight down the stream to the dantian.

At the same time, the power of a huge elixir was like a roaring war horse running wildly in the body, Sima Yuan did not dare to be careless, and immediately followed the description in the "Initial Solution of Qi Refining", guarded his mind, and the mana of the imperial envoy quickly wrapped it, and then divided a part of it like a cocoon and slowly refined, and so on, the cycle repeated, and it was very happy.

When Sima Yuan finished refining the entire Qi Nourishing Pill, he slowly exhaled a long breath, opened his eyes and looked closely, and his own family had broken through quietly.

Now it's the breathing period!

The third layer of Qi refining, the peak of the initial stage!

Sima Yuan had a pleased smile on his face, the Qi Nourishing Pill was originally the pill taken during the 'Qi Nourishing Period', and he would naturally advance by leaps and bounds by absorbing the 'Qi Nourishing Pill' with the cultivation of the second-layer 'Qi Inhalation' realm!

With a look of excitement on his face, he licked his parched lips and kept going, going up a few floors!

Sima Yuan took out the 'Qi Nourishing Pill' again, and this time he poured out three of them in one go!

He muttered to himself, "This time, let's do it once!"

After speaking, he tilted his head, and the three 'Qi Nourishing Pills' burst into his abdomen, raging endlessly in Sima Yuan's body, surging like a flood.

Sima Yuan shouted, slapped the storage bag again, and more than a dozen spirit yuan stones appeared, and he actually used them to resist absorbing the power of the elixir while refining the spirit yuan stones.

"Give me !!"

As soon as the words fell, the mana in his body pounced on the power of those pills like a wolf, wrapped up in death, and was refining in full swing.

In this way, a month passed quickly, and Sima Yuan devoured and refined a full ten 'Qi Nourishing Pills' and three 'Chen Yuan Pills', and even when the mana in his body was insufficient, he directly swallowed the 'Qi Replenishing Liquid' to restore his mana.

After all, the results of Yue Xu did not live up to Sima Yuan's hard work, after thoroughly refining the pills he had taken, he directly crossed the 'Qi Nourishing Period' and entered the 'Qi Accumulation Period', only one step away from stepping into the peak of the middle stage of Qi refining, and stood proudly among the peaks of the fifth layer of Qi refining!

Sima Yuan was full of interest, and then his expression moved, a green lotus seed fell into the palm of his hand, his eyes were full of blazing color, and just as he was about to take it, a banging sound came into his ears.

Sima Yuan frowned, got up and looked, his face immediately changed greatly.

I saw that dozens of Qi Refining Cultivators were gathering outside the building, all of them had gloomy faces, and there were even a few people who were similar to Yuan Chengmo's aura, as if they were masters in the late stage of Qi refining!

Looking at his costumes, they are exactly the same as the immortal master surnamed Cao.

Someone from the Zixiao Sect!

They came so fast!

Sima Yuan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, pacing and wandering, thinking wildly in his heart, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and his eyes suddenly flashed fiercely.

"Or, kill it?"
