03: Spirit Stone

After washing the marrow of the body, Zhanfeng's whole person appeared more flexible, and his vision and hearing were much more sensitive than before, and his already immature face looked even fairer and red at this time, as delicate as a newborn baby.

When he returned to the room again, it was getting late, but the stench left by the time he had just washed his muscles and marrow had not completely disappeared, perhaps because of his repulsion, Zhan Feng thought for a while, then left the room again, and quietly walked towards the mountain behind the outer door while taking advantage of the night.

The mountain behind the outer gate is the separation zone between the inner gate and the outer gate of the Kaiyang Sect, and the distance between the two is almost five miles, although they both belong to the Kaiyang Sect, but there is a substantial difference between the two, the largest of which is in addition to the identity and status of the disciples of the inner and outer gates, as well as the richness of the aura between the two.

In the outer gate, the richness of the aura is very low, and it is a little better than the mortal world, but the inner door is different, the inner gate has a large array of spirits that shrouds the Cangyue Mountains for hundreds of miles, and when there is an invasion of foreign enemies, it can be turned into a defensive enchantment, and in the peaceful and prosperous times, it can absorb the spiritual power within a radius of 100 miles of Cangyue Mountain in the inner gate, and the richness of the aura can be imagined.

At this time, the back mountain that Zhan Feng quietly went to was close to the Spirit Gathering Array, so the aura was many times richer than the small courtyard where he was, of course, he didn't dare to get too close to the Spirit Gathering Array, half an hour later, Zhan Feng stopped about a mile away from the small courtyard, and immediately sat cross-legged after finding a sheltered place, and began to breathe in the aura of heaven and earth.

With the baptism of the body of the Purifying Pill, Zhan Feng is also very much looking forward to breaking through the realm of Qi Cultivation, which is why he risked being discovered and came to the back mountain to cultivate.

He had a faint feeling in his heart that he was about to break through the bottleneck of the Qi cultivation realm.

With full hope and expectation, Zhan Feng quickly entered the state of cultivation, the spiritual power here is several times stronger than his room, under his exhalation, the surrounding aura instantly surrounded Zhan Feng into a circle, originally with a trace of cyan aura, at this time it was like a cyan mist, tightly surrounding Zhan Feng's surroundings.

At this time, Zhan Feng was like a mountain in the morning, shrouded in dense mist, and his immature face was shrouded in the purple mist.

Of course, just like the previous scene when he was cultivating, Zhan Feng was not the center of these auras, he only absorbed one percent of these auras, and most of them were still devoured by the gray jade pendant on his chest.

Maybe it's because the spiritual power here is sufficient, in less than an hour, the gray jade pendant has undergone a slight change again, with a large amount of spiritual energy inhaled, the gray jade pendant gradually turned gray-white, and it also exudes a faint light, like a night pearl in the dark night, but the spiritual power around the jade pendant is too rich, forming a fog barrier, so that the light emitted by the jade pendant can never penetrate.

It is precisely because of this that this treasure was not discovered by Yang Hua, who was following Zhanfeng.

Yang Hua had been secretly observing Zhan Feng after washing the pill of Zhan Feng, when he saw the rich aura around Zhan Feng, Yang Hua was very surprised, and at the same time very excited, with his decades of experience in cultivation, the degree of aura around Zhan Feng should be a sign of breakthrough, but an hour passed, but Zhan Feng did not move, which made him have a trace of doubt.

For him, of course, he hopes that Zhan Feng can break through the first grade of Qi cultivation as soon as possible, and then let Feng Xi break through the realm of the second grade of Qi cultivation in two years, so that he will have the opportunity to use the assimilation method to break through the fourth grade of Qi cultivation and reach the fifth level of Qi training, even if Zhan Feng does not break through the second grade realm of Qi cultivation within two years, Zhan Feng of the first grade realm will also be of great help to him, so he is naturally a little anxious when he sees that Zhan Feng has never broken through.

"What's going on, isn't this kid unable to absorb aura, it's not right, the aura around here is obviously going towards that kid, how can there be no breakthrough under such a rich aura?" Looking at Zhan Feng from a distance, who was sitting cross-legged in the mist-like aura, Yang Hua was in a daze, he really couldn't understand Zhan Feng's situation, so he fell into deep thought, but his eyes kept staring at Zhan Feng who was motionless.

At this time, Zhan Feng was also strange in his heart, although he couldn't break through the first product of Qi training before, he could still feel the spiritual energy flowing in the body, but today he meditated for more than an hour but did not feel the spiritual power in the body, which made Zhan Feng very worried, and at the same time increased the speed of exhalation, just one hour and completed three big weeks of inhalation.

In fact, Zhan Feng didn't know that under the impact of that white light during the day, his muscles and veins had reached an incredible level, at this time his meridians were like a dry river in the desert, if he didn't use the inner door, the concentration of spiritual energy would not be able to be enriched at all, although he absorbed more spiritual energy today than when he was in the small courtyard, but it still couldn't meet his current tendon veins for spiritual power to accommodate them, not to mention his purple mansion that had been expanded by Bai Mang more than ten times.

At this time, the Purple Mansion in his dantian was in a state of hunger, so all the aura that was absorbed into the body by Zhan Feng was absorbed by it and used to enrich the Purple Mansion, if the Purple Mansion could not reach a full state, he would not be able to feel the feeling of the aura flowing back in the tendons.

At the same time, Qi cultivation is to transform Qi and refine the essence, and this essence is the general name of the Purple Mansion by cultivating immortals, if it can't fill the Purple Mansion, then Zhan Feng still can't break through the first product of Qi training, but if he breaks through, then the quality of his Qi cultivation product is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

Compared to the size of his Purple Mansion, if he really breaks through the first grade of Qi training, then the true yuan that he can mobilize for the first grade of Qi cultivation is more than the true yuan of a third-grade cultivator of spiritual energy, and Zhanfeng's situation can be described in one word, that is, accumulation, because there is more spiritual energy accumulated in things, and the spiritual power obtained will naturally increase.

Of course, Zhan Feng himself didn't know all this, he only knew how to absorb spiritual energy at this time, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, as Zhan Feng's body traveled faster and faster, the speed of the jade pendant on his chest devouring spiritual power also increased, and the speed of spiritual power surging around him was also accelerating, forming a virtuous circle.

Another hour passed, and the spiritual power around Zhan Feng was no longer in that fog state, faintly like a thundercloud, the density was very high, if you reached out and grabbed it, you would definitely be able to grab a hand of water.

It is really because of the increase in the concentration of aura, Zhan Feng can finally get almost one-tenth of the aura from the hands of Yu Pei, so that the spiritual power in Zhan Feng's purple mansion also accumulates more and more, after increasing to a certain concentration, the aura in the purple mansion begins to rotate slowly, like the center of a storm, with the rotation of the aura, a trace of cyan spiritual power as thin as a gossamer begins to appear in Zhan Feng's purple mansion.

The cyan spiritual power is very domineering, and after it is condensed, it immediately occupies the center of the Purple Mansion, so that all the spiritual energy revolves around him, and the spiritual power generated is also under its gravity, immediately moving towards the center of the Purple Mansion, condensing and fusing to form a sun-like cyan light, and this light is the source of the power of the immortal cultivator - the spiritual power is also called the true yuan.

With the condensation of spiritual power, Zhanfeng's illusory purple mansion also began to slowly condense, like a galaxy in the starry sky, spinning and floating in the dantian.

Because Zhan Feng did not break through the first product of Qi training, the spiritual power could not be returned, that is, it could not be used, at this time, he could only condense the spiritual power but could not use the spiritual power, and because his muscles and veins were widened by the white mysterious white mangs during the day and he was baptized by the Pulp Cleansing Pill, the speed of absorbing spiritual power was hundreds of times faster than before.

In addition, the aura of this place is strong, so the condensation of the spiritual power of the Purple Mansion is also beyond imagination, but his Purple Mansion is too big, until the sky is slightly polished, and the spiritual power is only condensed to one-tenth of what the Purple Mansion needs.

Yang Hua quietly observed in the dark all night, and when he saw that the aura around Zhan Feng's body was getting stronger and stronger, his heart was beating wildly and almost jumping up with excitement, he knew that such a monk with a breakthrough in aura concentration had a very huge spiritual power in his own body.

However, it wasn't until the aura around Zhan Feng slowly dissipated and showed Zhan Feng's appearance that he was disappointed, because Zhan Feng still hadn't broken through the realm of Qi Training.

In the face of this kind of high-to-end heart, Yang Hua looked at Zhan Feng's eyes a little resentful, he could see that the concentration of aura around Zhan Feng was enough to allow a person with poor talent to break through the realm of Qi training, but Zhan Feng did not break through, there is only one result, that is, Zhan Feng is really too bad, so bad that even mortal martial artists are inferior.

Yang Hua secretly regretted giving Zhan Feng the myelin cleansing pill that he had finally exchanged for at this time, and at this time, Zhan Feng was completely a waste in his eyes, so he didn't monitor it, and left the back mountain with a gloomy face.

When the first rays of sunlight shone into the woods, Zhan Feng finally woke up from his cultivation, his calm face had a faint hint of joy, and his eyes shone with excitement, although he still did not break through the bottleneck, but he clearly felt that the cyan spiritual power in his dantian was running, and at this time his senses were more sensitive than before, and his eyes could even reach the ladybugs attached to the petals a hundred zhang away, and even the antennae could be seen clearly.

This new feeling made Zhan Feng excited, if he wasn't in the back mountain at this time, I'm afraid he would have screamed excitedly, he also knew that the day of the breakthrough was not far away, and the shadow in his heart that he had not been able to break through for many years had finally dispersed.

For Zhan Feng, even a little change is gratifying, he knows that cultivating immortals is already difficult, and every little progress means that he is a little closer to cultivating immortals and revenge.

To soothe his mood, Zhan Feng cautiously glanced around, touched the dew on his face, tidied up his clothes, and immediately left the back mountain quickly without anyone around.

When he returned to the room, he found Wang Xiaoer sitting at the table dozing off with his chin on his hands, it seemed that he had been here for a long time.

"Xiao Er, why are you here. Zhan Feng was happy in his heart, and after seeing Wang Xiaoer, he swept away the previous decadence and shouted happily.

"--Brother Feng, you're back, I've been waiting for you for a long time, you won't go to the back mountain again. Wang Xiaoer opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw Zhan Feng's unusual expression, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stood up and looked at Zhan Feng with a worried face and asked, he who has been dependent on Zhan Feng in Kaiyang Sect since he was a child, is also very concerned about Zhan Feng's affairs.

"Is something wrong?" Hearing Wang Xiaoer say that he had been waiting for him for a long time, Zhan Feng's heart bulged and asked nervously.

Although Xiao Si has been in Kaiyang Sect for eight years, there are a lot of intrigues, Wang Xiaoer is naturally kind and simple, this kind of person is the object of bullying wherever he is, although Zhanfeng has been very low-key in the past eight years, but for Wang Xiaoer, he has not had a lot of conflicts with others, and Wang Xiaoer is the first person to find whenever he is wronged, and he is also himself, so early today, Zhanfeng thought that Wang Xiaoer was bullied again.

"No, my dad asked someone to bring some food and clothes, and I didn't come here when I was idle. Wang Xiaoer smiled stupidly and pointed to the package placed on Zhanfeng's bed and said.

"Oh--I see, what did you bring?" Zhan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the edge of the bed, reached out and picked up the package, and asked curiously.

Wang Xiaoer didn't answer, but cautiously glanced outside the door, walked to Zhanfeng's side, and said mysteriously in Zhanfeng's ear, "My father got a good thing this time, spirit stones, ten pieces, we have five pieces, and yours is in the clothes inside the package." ”

"Spirit--" Zhan Feng was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Wang Xiaoer suspiciously, but he held the package tightly in his arms in his hand, and his face was so surprised that he almost shouted.

The spirit stone is an indispensable thing for cultivating immortals, it can be directly used for cultivation, absorbing spiritual energy from the spiritual stone, which is far stronger than meditating and cultivating by oneself, and the spiritual stone is also the legal tender of the immortal cultivation world, which can be used to buy pills, magic weapons, charms and other things, in addition to directly absorbing spiritual energy, the spiritual stone of the immortal cultivation world is equivalent to the gold of the mortal world.

And the spiritual veins in the immortal cultivation world are very few, and it is a one-time consumption item, so in the immortal cultivation world, the spirit stone is a very valuable thing, and in the Kaiyang Sect, only the inner disciples have the opportunity to obtain the spirit stone, as for the outer disciples, if they are cultivated above the seven grades of qi cultivation, they can also be obtained by doing sect tasks, and those low-level outer disciples have no ability to obtain it at all, not to mention that Zhan Feng is just a small Si of the outer door, so he will be so nervous after hearing the word 'spirit stone'.

Seeing Zhan Feng's nervous and surprised expression, Wang Xiaoer nodded heavily, he was also taken aback when he saw the spirit stone, after hiding his share, he immediately came to Zhan Feng, if people knew that they had spirit stones on them, then it would definitely attract the attention of those high-level qi cultivators, and then the two of them would only be able to see each other in Huangquan.

The immortal cultivation world is a loose place, and there is basically no restraint except for the door rules, so it is also a very common thing to kill people and seize treasures, although Zhan Feng and Wang Xiaoer are young, but after all, they have lived in Kaiyang Sect for seven or eight years, and they know this better than anyone else.

"Brother Feng, you hurry up and find a place to hide it, there are dozens of newcomers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past few days, you don't have to go, I heard that there is a quota for going out of the mountain this month, I'll go and see, when the time comes, let's go down the mountain together, I heard that there is a monk trading market at the bottom of the mountain, and then I can see if there is any pill to break through the bottleneck." Seeing Zhan Feng standing there stunned, as if he hadn't fully recovered from the shock, thinking that his appearance was similar to Zhan Feng at that time, Wang Xiaoer couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, but for the sake of insurance, he immediately proposed.

"--That, Xiao Er, the wealth is not exposed, if we go down the mountain to buy something, I am afraid it will attract the attention of others, and my bottleneck is also a little loose, this matter will be talked about later, as long as we hide it, it should be fine. ”

Zhan Feng looked slightly, his brows furrowed, he knew that Wang Xiaoer wanted to get rid of the spirit stone in his hand as soon as possible, and Zhan Feng also knew that the husband was innocent and guilty, but their cultivation was too low, even if they were spent immediately, it would arouse the suspicion of others, and after weighing it, Zhan Feng immediately denied Wang Xiaoer's idea.

"Yes, but this thing is by his side, it's really--" Wang Xiaoer has always listened to Zhanfeng, but the spirit stone in his hand is really a hot potato, and he is still a little worried.

"Don't worry, you find a place to hide in the back mountain, no one will find out. Zhan Feng touched his chin and thought for a while and said, in the outer gate, only the back mountain is the safest, after all, there are not many people who dare to violate the door rules, and more importantly, the aura of the back mountain is strong, if you don't deliberately look for it, it will be difficult to be found.

"--Okay, now it's only like this, mine is already hiding in the back mountain, Brother Feng, you should go and hide it too, if someone finds out--" Wang Xiaoer nodded, there was still some worry in his eyes, but he still agreed with Zhan Feng's idea, and at the same time did not forget to remind Zhan Feng.

"I know, you go back first, I'll go in a moment. Zhan Feng nodded and said with a smile.

He was also nervous, but he was very curious in his heart, he had never seen what the spirit stone looked like, and he wanted to take a look first, and if Wang Xiaoer saw the spirit stone here and didn't know it, it was really a little faceless, so he urged Wang Xiaoer to say.

"Oh, by the way, a new person reported to the Internal Affairs Department today, and I almost forgot. Wang Xiaoer's worried eyes changed, he suddenly jumped up, and ran towards the door as he spoke, and disappeared with a smoke.

Looking at Wang Xiaoer's gradually blurred back, Zhan Feng smiled slightly, put down the burden in his hand, immediately closed his doors and windows, and after checking a few times, he returned to his seat with a sigh of relief.

Taking a deep breath, Zhan Feng reached out and grabbed the burden on the table, and at this moment, the jade pendant hanging on his chest shook slightly, and the smooth surface of the jade pendant suddenly began to move, like a stone falling into the water, and layers of ripples flowed in the jade pendant, but Zhan Feng was too nervous and did not notice the changes on the jade pendant.
