Just as Qiao Yuan took out the spirit stone and the fragment of mixed yuan jade, there was a bamboo house less than three feet away from the house where he was, and there was an old man sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed with his eyes closed.

At this time, the old man slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the room where Qiao Yuan was, as if his gaze could penetrate the room and directly see Qiao Yuan who was sitting on the bed and cultivating, the old man frowned slightly, and whispered to himself.

"This little doll is not simple, the cultivation is so low, there are high-grade spirit stones, there are actually gathering spirit stones, I don't know who his elders are? ”

After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the window, standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes revealing the color of reminiscence, and his posture was like that of a hermit.

The person was still the person Qiao Yuan saw during the day, and he was also wearing the same brown linen clothes and was barefoot, but now the temperament exuded by the old man was very different from the daytime.

If Qiao Yuan was allowed to see it, he would definitely not dare to believe that the current old man would be the person he saw during the day.

The old man's eyes were deep, as if containing the starry sky, his eyes looked into the distance without blinking, and the color of remembrance in his eyes became thicker and thicker, until half an hour later, the old man sighed faintly and spoke softly.

"Let this little doll try, if it succeeds, Yao'er may be able to recover ............"

The old man was halfway through, and the reminiscence in his eyes immediately dissipated, revealing a cold light, but it didn't take long for the old man to return to the bed and continue to meditate cross-legged.

Qiao Yuan naturally didn't know all this, he was still meditating and cultivating by himself, because of the rich aura here, Qiao Yuan's speed of breathing was also extremely fast, almost three hours to run a small week.

After a little Zhou Tian finished running, Qiao Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he was very satisfied with his state at the moment.

He estimated that he should be able to fully recover the spiritual power in his body in just three days, and his cultivation could increase a lot, maybe he could use the last time to stimulate his body's potential to break through to the fourth level of qi refining in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan suddenly remembered that after being cornered by the red-eyed python that day, a special power appeared in his body.

This kind of power is not spiritual power but can be used as spiritual power, which makes him very puzzled, he used to think that this is the power of the residual medicinal soup hidden in his body, but now that he thinks about it carefully, the two powers are very different, and that special power cannot be the power of medicinal soup at all.

"It can't be the power of the seal in my body, is it, or is there something hidden in my body?"

Qiao Yuan thought about it for a long time before he whispered to himself. However, his brows have not been stretched, after all, there are big loopholes in the reasons he can think of, and now he uses his spiritual power to inspect his body, he can't detect the slightest abnormality at all, let alone say anything he doesn't know, even if he seals him, he can't feel the slightest.

Just as he was pondering, Bai Yue woke up from his side, it looked at the spirit stone in Qiao Yuan's hand, and there was a look of longing in the wolf's eyes.

Qiao Yuan saw Bai Yue's expression, and he no longer pondered, a smile appeared on his face, and he handed the spirit stone in his hand to Bai Yue.

Bai Yue directly opened her small mouth and bit the spirit stone, then put down her hind legs, sat upright beside Qiao Yuan with her front legs, closed her eyes and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone.

Qiao Yuan knew from the book that the cultivation of demon beasts was completely different from the cultivation of humans.

Demon beast cultivation is quite difficult, but they don't use exercises, each demon beast type has its own bloodline inheritance, and the bloodline inheritance contains the method of cultivation, the purer its bloodline, the more inheritance, the better the cultivation qualifications, and the faster the cultivation speed.

However, one thing is the same, humans and most demon beasts need to absorb the aura of the outside world in their bodies in order to improve their cultivation.

Of course, there are also a very small number of demon beasts that do not need to absorb external spiritual power, and can be cultivated by devouring and seizing other people's cultivation, but this kind of demon beast is extremely rare, and each of them is famous and notorious.

Bai Yue is a Swift Moon Wolf with extremely pure blood, with almost all the bloodline inheritance, and his cultivation qualifications are also excellent.

Although Bai Yue was still young, it took the initiative to ask for cultivation, naturally the bloodline inheritance in its body had awakened a little, and it had a basic cultivation method, so Qiao Yuan also gave it a spirit stone, so that it could hurry up and cultivate, maybe it could give him some help in the future.

Qiao Yuan watched Bai Yue enter the cultivation state, with a smile on his face, although he and Bai Yue had not been together for a long time, they had also experienced life and death together, and the depth of their feelings was unimaginable.

He looked at the night outside the window, it was already late at night at this time, and without wasting time, Qiao Yuan took out another spirit stone from the brocade bag, held it in his hand and began to cultivate.

A man and a wolf sat on the bed immersed in cultivation, and before they knew it, the window had gradually lit up, and some crisp birdsong had entered the room, and a fresh breath of morning permeated the room.

Qiao Yuan slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with bright light, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he looked very good.

He turned his head to look at Bai Yue, who was still cultivating with his eyes closed, and did not bother, but closed his eyes and carefully sensed Bai Yue's state.

Qiao Yuan closed his eyes and could feel the spiritual power around him slowly flowing towards the white moon.

As its inhalation flowed into its body, it was then exhaled by it and exhaled some aura, but through the absorbed aura and exhaled aura, Qiao Yuan could feel that Bai Yue's cultivation speed was very fast, and he didn't know how much stronger than himself.

Although he hadn't felt the fluctuations in Bai Yue's spiritual power yet, Qiao Yuan believed that in a few days, Bai Yue would be able to reach the level of Qi cultivation among monks.

"Brother Qiao, are you awake?"

While Qiao Yuan was observing Bai Yue's cultivation state, a crisp and pleasant voice came from outside.

"Miss Zhan Yao, come in. ”

Qiao Yuan looked out the door and said with a gentle smile on his face.

Zhan Yao pushed open the door and walked in, she was wearing a white dress, her shoulder-length hair behind her was tied into two ponytails, and she looked very cute with her smiling and grinning appearance.

She held a bowl of decoction and a bowl of rice porridge in her hand, handed the decoction to Qiao Yuan, and sat on the edge of the bed looking at Qiao Yuan, as if she had to watch Qiao Yuan drink the medicine to be relieved.

Qiao Yuan was not hypocritical, he took the medicine bowl and drank it in two sips, and immediately took the rice porridge in Zhan Yao's hand and drank it in one gulp.

"Brother Qiao, whatever you want to eat at noon, I will do anything, tell me what you want to eat, and I will make it for you. ”

Zhan Yao saw that Qiao Yuan's face was much better, although he was still a little pale, but he looked a lot more energetic overall.

"Yesterday's fish soup was delicious, let's make fish soup, don't be so troublesome, I can't actually eat much. ”

Qiao Yuan likes this little girl very much, not only is she good-looking and cute, but she is also sensible and well-behaved, diligent and capable, and most importantly, she is extremely kind-hearted.

Zhan Yao has been dependent on her grandfather since she was a child, her grandfather goes out fishing early every day, and she is almost alone at home every day, except for doing some housework, that is, with birds and beasts in the mountains and forests as companions, very lonely, but she is cheerful and lively, and she is very easy to be satisfied, so she is also very happy.

Now that she finally has Qiao Yuan as a playmate, she is even happier, and she keeps asking Qiao Yuan all kinds of questions, asking Qiao Yuan all kinds of strange things to her, which makes her laugh constantly.

The two chatted like this, and it wasn't until noon that Zhan Yao went out to cook.

Qiao Yuan knew that Zhan Yao's grandfather usually went to the river to fish in the morning, and he didn't come back to eat at noon, and he wouldn't come back until dusk.

At this time, he knew how lonely this little girl was, even more lonely than himself in Qingfeng Village, at least there were hundreds of people in Qingfeng Village, he could usually go to Uncle Tie, Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, these uncles and aunts to eat and work, chat with them, and live a very happy life.

But Qiao Yuan has always felt that he is quite lonely because he has no parents, and now that he understands Zhan Yao's life, he finds out how strong and optimistic Zhan Yao is, which makes him very distressed.

So as long as Zhan Yao asked him questions, he would answer them very seriously, and tell her some strange anecdotes, just to amuse her, but every time he saw Zhan Yao laughing, he felt even more distressed.

He didn't dare to imagine what kind of state Zhan Yao would be like after he left here, maybe he would be sad, maybe he would still be so happy.

After Qiao Yuan had lunch, he began to tell Zhan Yao all kinds of interesting stories, fortunately he had heard many such anecdotes with Uncle Tie, otherwise there was really no story to tell her at the moment.

Time spent in Zhan Yao's laughter, and after a while, the sky darkened.

After Old Man Zhan came back, he didn't visit Qiao Yuan's room, but just called outside, and Zhan Yao went out to cook.

She would also get Bai Yue some food every day, but Bai Yue didn't seem to appreciate it and almost didn't eat much, but Zhan Yao didn't mind either, and still prepared food for Bai Yue every day.

Qiao Yuan and Zhan Yao had been chatting during the day, so he didn't let Bai Yue cultivate. Now Qiao Yuan has drunk medicine and eaten, fed some food to Bai Yue, and then one person and one wolf began to meditate and cultivate again.

Seven days have passed in a flash, Qiao Yuan still chats with Zhan Yao during the day and meditates and cultivates at night, and the aura in his body has returned to a full state three days ago, but Qiao Yuan has not relaxed at all, because he feels that he is about to break through to the fourth layer of qi refining, which makes him very happy.

On the morning of the seventh day, he felt a shock all over his body, and suddenly opened his eyes, and his face showed a look of ecstasy, and he laughed out loud.

Qiao Yuan had just completed a small Zhou Tian cycle, and with the completion of this cycle, the aura vortex in his dantian suddenly doubled, as if it was a palm-sized cycle before, but now it became a skull-sized cycle, and this change was enough to increase his spiritual power several times.

"If you use it now, if it is popular, you will definitely be able to hold on for more than an hour without depleting your spiritual power. ”

Qiao Yuan felt the surging spiritual power in his body, his face showed satisfaction, and he whispered to himself.

He waved his arms and felt that he should be able to barely get out of bed, so he held the edge of the bed with one hand, slowly put his feet on the ground, and tried to stand alone by holding on to the edge of the bed.

After trying, Qiao Yuan can also stand alone without supporting his hands, but it is a little difficult to take two steps, and he feels some pain in his legs and waist with every step.

"Brother Joe, I'm in. ”

Zhan Yao shouted outside and opened the door and walked in, and when he saw Qiao Yuan standing in the room, he immediately ran over with great joy and circled around Qiao Yuan several times, as if he wanted to carefully see Qiao Yuan's whole body.

"Brother Qiao, are your injuries healed?"

"No, I can't walk yet. In two days you should be able to walk. ”

Qiao Yuan smiled bitterly and said as he lay down on the bed.
