I don't know how long it took, Zhao Ziming woke up slowly, he sat up from the bed, and the first thing he did was to close his eyes and concentrate and check the condition in his body.

The first place to explore was naturally the dantian, and the blood snake had an abnormal appearance before, causing him to be stunned by pain, and he didn't know anything about what happened later.

In the dantian, the space that had been reflected red by the Yuanli vortex in the past was dark, and only a small golden light lit up at the bottom.

Zhao Ziming's mind turned to that ray of light, and found that it was a small golden vortex, and he was stunned for a moment, because this vortex was the vortex of Yuan Force that he should have disappeared.

The Yuan Force Vortex was rotating at an unusually slow speed, and the suction power emitted was extremely small, so it could only absorb a small amount of Yuan Force from the air, and it would probably take a long time to return to the previous level.

But compared to disappearing, this situation is undoubtedly much better, at least it means that Zhao Ziming can continue to cultivate the "Refining the Void Ancient Scripture" in the future.

Zhao Ziming withdrew his mind from the dantian and began to search for the trace of the blood snake, but he searched every corner of his body and found nothing.

In the process, he also discovered a strange fact, in his flesh and blood, there was not the slightest existence of blood qi and yuan power.

This situation is almost impossible, you must know that after stepping into the innate world, his body is nourished by blood qi and yuan power, and some power will be deposited in the flesh and blood.

These forces, which even he could not mobilize and use on a normal basis, have now disappeared completely.

However, there have been a lot of strange things that happened to Zhao Ziming, and he was not surprised, so he quickly put this matter aside and put his mind back into the dantian.

Since it can't be found anywhere else, then the blood snake can only exist in the dantian, and the current dantian only has a small Yuan Force vortex.

Zhao Ziming concentrated all his attention and looked at the Yuanli Vortex inch by inch, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the blood snake to be found at the outermost part of the vortex.

It's just that the blood snake today is very different from before, not only has its size shrunk to the point where it is not much bigger than a hair, but it can barely even maintain its snake shape, and the whole thing looks like a thin and vague wisp of pale golden blood.

If it weren't for Zhao Ziming's incomparably familiar breath, I'm afraid he would have ignored it as a yuan force.

The small golden blood snake hovered at the edge of the Yuan Force Vortex, as if it wanted to get out, but because it was too weak, it was always dragged by the rotating Yuan Force towards the center of the Vortex.

Zhao Ziming watched this scene with interest, and suddenly, his mind moved, and he gave an order to the blood snake, which immediately stopped drilling outward, and instead swam to the center of the whirlpool along the Yuan force.

The Yuan Force here is the most refined, and in Zhao Ziming's induction, I am afraid that it is not much worse than those golden mist before, but the blood snake stayed inside, but there was no discomfort at all.

Zhao Ziming forcibly stopped the rotation of the Yuan Force Vortex again, carefully paying attention to the movements of the Blood Snake, who obeyed his order, opened its mouth, which was not visible to the naked eye, and began to devour Yuan Li.

Because both the Blood Snake and the Yuan Force Vortex were extremely small existences, and they were inside the body, it was quite difficult for Zhao Ziming to detect, so he had to concentrate his mind again and concentrate his attention unprecedentedly.

The Blood Snake was driven to swallow the Yuan Force, however, just after two breaths, those Yuan Forces escaped back into the Yuan Force Vortex intact, obviously unable to be absorbed by the Blood Snake.

Zhao Ziming was not at ease, and tried to control the blood snake several times, but the result was the same, and now, he finally believed that the problem he was most worried about seemed to no longer exist.

His eyes widened, and he muttered with joy on his face: "Since the blood snake can no longer absorb the Yuan Force, and its attributes look somewhat similar to the Yuan Force, and the two are no longer opposed, then I think that in the future, I should have no problem with the two forces of the same cultivator." ”

In Zhao Ziming's heart, the importance of "refining the ancient scriptures" is undoubtedly in the first place.

However, the blood qi of the blood clan could greatly strengthen his physique and enhance his combat effectiveness, which was vividly reflected in the battle with Li Ying, so he was unwilling to give up his cultivation.

Now, it is undoubtedly the best result for blood qi and yuan power to coexist in peace and quiet.

After figuring out the situation, Zhao Ziming closed his eyes and concentrated his mind again, and entered the state of cultivation.

First, he guided the blood snake back to the heart, and as soon as the weakened blood snake entered the heart, it coiled into a ball, emitting bits of golden rays, wrapping itself in a cocoon of light.

Wisps of blood poured into the light cocoon, and when it flowed out, the number was reduced by about half a percent, and it was obvious that the blood snake began to absorb blood and strengthen itself.

Fortunately, Zhao Ziming has strong blood, and this kind of consumption is still within his tolerance range.

Moreover, he could feel that the quality of the blood that had passed through the light cocoon had improved slightly, but because the light cocoon was too small and its ability to purify blood was limited, this improvement was minimal.

The problem of blood qi has been solved, Zhao Ziming turned his attention to the dantian, and as soon as his mind moved, he began to draw the yuan force from the Yuan Force Vortex, preparing to run the exercises and absorb the power of heaven and earth.

But when he saw the few extremely small Yuan forces he had mobilized, he completely gave up this plan, with his current Yuan Force reserves, even if he moved the Yuan Force Vortex out, it was estimated that it would not be enough to run the "Refining Void Ancient Sutra" for a week.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziming couldn't help but smile bitterly, and was about to withdraw from the cultivation state, when suddenly, something in his mind caught his attention.

The book that recorded the "Refining the Void Ancient Scripture" was shining faintly.

Zhao Ziming opened the ancient scriptures and found that after the second page, there were two more pages, which recorded two completely different exercises, corresponding to the cultivation of soul power and blood qi, and their profundity and complexity were no less than the cultivation of Yuan Li.

At this time, Zhao Ziming is quite difficult to choose.

It is a well-known truth that greed does not bite out. Although Zhao Ziming is involved in all three forces, his main energy is still on Yuan Li and Blood Qi.

And so far, he has even stumbled and stumbled in the cultivation of these two powers, let alone cultivated the third power.

Zhao Ziming is not a conceited person, he knows very well that although he is good now, he is a real wild man, and he has no direction for the cultivation of the innate realm.

In this case, if the energy is too scattered, it is easy to take a fork in the road, resulting in self-miscellaneous and unrefined, which will outweigh the losses.

But on the other hand, the "Refining the Void Ancient Sutra" is very mysterious, and none of the exercises recorded on it are extraordinary, and if you succeed in cultivation, it will of course be of great benefit to yourself.

After some trade-offs, Zhao Ziming decided to adopt a compromise method. Those two exercises, he tried to practice one or two first, if it went well, it would be better, otherwise, he would have to give up.

There is another reason why Zhao Ziming chose this way. The "Refining Void Ancient Sutra" has only opened four pages, and there must be follow-up inheritances, what if one of the conditions for obtaining those inheritances is the three forces of initiates?

After making a decision, considering that his yuan power was exhausted and his blood qi was sluggish at this moment, Zhao Ziming was ready to study the cultivation method of soul power.

Suddenly, he remembered something, and his heart was suddenly shocked, he didn't have any cultivation thoughts, he opened his eyes, quickly dressed and got out of bed, pushed open the door and rushed out.

It was nearly dusk, and the sky was very overcast, with lead clouds and a howling wind.

Zhao Ziming ran to the thatched hut in the middle of the courtyard, coughed lightly, and said, "Xiaoyu, are you up?"

The day before yesterday, after Ning Xiaoyu was rescued, because she had not eaten, drunk or slept in the palace for several days, her body was extremely weak, so as soon as she settled down here, she fell into a deep sleep, during which she only ate some food hastily.

Before cultivating this morning, Zhao Ziming went to see her, and when he saw that she was still sleeping, he didn't wake her up, thinking that his cultivation had gone wrong and he was in a coma for most of the day.

Seeing that there was no response in the house, Zhao Ziming gently pushed open the door and walked in. The room was empty, and the quilts on the bed were neatly folded, but Ning Xiaoyu was nowhere to be seen.

Zhao Ziming came to another thatched hut, this is the kitchen, there are some messy ingredients on the board, and in the iron pot next to it, there are wisps of green smoke, and a strong smell of paste permeates the air.

There were a few unburned firewood sticks on the ground, apparently pulled out of the stove and extinguished with water, and the clear water soaked into the loess surface, forming a large area of mud.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ziming smiled dumbly, he didn't have to guess to know that this was Ning Xiaoyu's masterpiece, and he had seen her "cooking skills" in the belly of the volcanic mountain.

On the stove next to the pot, there was a bowl of dark-colored soup, with a few green onions floating on the surface, Zhao Ziming picked it up, and the porcelain bowl still had residual warmth.

He hesitated for a moment, took a sip to his mouth, and his face suddenly couldn't be said to be wonderful, this soup was salty and astringent, and there was a spicy taste, and he didn't know how many kinds of spices Ning Xiaoyu had mixed in.

He put down the soup bowl and uncovered the urn where the rice was cooking, and sure enough, the rice was indeed white, but not very cooked.

Zhao Ziming shook his head and began to clean up the mess in the house. As for Ning Xiaoyu, he must have gone to a nearby town to buy food, and he should have brought Thunder with him before leaving, so there was no need to worry.

Before the house was cleaned up, there was a sound of clattering hooves outside, Zhao Ziming went out to take a look, it was Ning Xiaoyu who came back, the latter saw him, hurriedly walked over, and asked, "Is your injury better? Why are you still vomiting blood and falling into a coma?"

Zhao Ziming was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "It's a little problem, it's fine." ”

Ning Xiaoyu nodded, and when he saw the extinguished firewood that Zhao Ziming was holding, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "I...... I went out to buy food, you wash your hands, come and eat. After saying that, he ran away to get the lunch box hanging on Thunder's body.
