Chapter 2: Qinglong Continent
It is said that there are one hundred and eight hidden qi houses in the human body, and each qi house is a realm of its own, if you can open up these qi mansions in the human body one by one, you can swallow clouds and spit out fog, fly to the sky and escape to the earth, and shake the mountains and rivers with the power of one person, this is the so-called immortal cultivator.
In the Qinglong Continent, immortal cultivators are divided into six realms, namely: Hidden Dragon Realm, Present Dragon Realm, Tilong Realm, Flying Dragon Realm, Leaping Dragon Realm, and Kanglong Realm! Each realm needs to open up the eighteen Qi Mansions, otherwise, they will not be able to enter the next realm, and after each realm or even each Qi Mansion is opened, the strength of the Immortal Cultivators will undergo earth-shaking changes from before. But as the number of Qi Mansions becomes more and more, the difficulty will become more and more difficult, and of course, the aura required to open each Qi Mansion will also increase exponentially!
Qinglong Continent is an extremely vast continent, the continent has sufficient aura, trillions of people, of course, the cultivation of immortals is also quite popular, although the cultivation of immortals in the Qinglong Continent is not uncommon, but most of them are strong in the Hidden Dragon Realm, in some places that are not too prosperous, a strong man in the Hidden Dragon Realm, within a radius of thousands of miles, can be regarded as a strong party.
One of the most typical supernatural powers of the powerhouses of the Hidden Dragon Realm is the flying of the sword, which is to transform the aura into a sword, and the immortal cultivator can control it after continuously inputting the aura, and the speed is extremely fast, and it can reach thousands of miles in a day.
At this time, on the Qinglong Continent, a man was stepping on a sword and driving rapidly, the man was dressed in white, and his appearance was quite handsome, this man was not Xiang Qing. At this time, Xiang Qing had been driving for three days since he set off from the Heavenly Saint Sect, and during this time, Xiang Qing had been galloping with the Imperial Sword without delaying for a moment, because he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
When Xiang Qing went out, he found a Shengying fruit by chance, as a kind of spiritual fruit in the Qinglong Continent, the Shengying fruit can greatly increase the chance of the monk breaking through the bottleneck, among the immortal cultivators, those spiritual fruits that can make the monk break through the bottleneck are often rare but not sought. Xiang Qing was extremely happy at the time, but after he was happy, he found that the Shengying fruit was not fully ripe, and if it was picked immediately, it would be difficult to fully exert the effect of the Shengying fruit, so as a last resort, Xiang Qing had to give up the idea of picking the Shengying fruit immediately, and in order to prevent others from discovering or letting other beasts eat it by mistake, Xiang Qing had to arrange some simple magic circles around the Shengying fruit to cover up the breath of the Shengying fruit.
At that time, according to the color of the Shengying fruit, Xiang Qing guessed that it would take at least five years for the Shengying fruit to mature, and now that more than four years have passed, Xiang Qing estimates that in a few months, the Shengying fruit will be ripe. Thinking of this, Xiang Qing's desire to obtain the Saint Ying Fruit became even stronger, and he continued to speed up his flight, and in just a few breaths, Xiang Qing's speed was increased to the extreme.
Finally, two hours later, Xiang Qing finally saw the mountain where the Shengyingguo was found, and he didn't care about recovering the aura consumed in his body, Xiang Qing went headlong towards the place where the Shengyingguo was, however, before he fell to the ground, Xiang Qing frowned, and his face immediately became ugly, and there was no trace of Shengyingguo in front of him, but there was a boy in his teens on the ground, the child's face was slightly red, his clothes were broken, and his eyes were closed, and his breath was like nothing, obviously he had been in a coma for a long time. Looking at the child lying on the ground in front of him, Xiang Qing suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart at this time.
Xiang Qing hurriedly walked in front of the child, when he saw the child's situation clearly, Xiang Qing chuckled in his heart, sure enough, it was not unexpected, the child had the breath of Shengyingguo in his body, it was obvious that Shengyingguo had been eaten by the child in front of him, and if it weren't for Shengyingguo to maintain his life, I'm afraid the child would have died a long time ago. At this time, the boy in Xiang Qing's eyes was Qin He, who was unconscious in the snow before.
At this time, Xiang Qing was very angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to slap the child in front of him into meat sauce with one palm, without Shengying Fruit, then it would be difficult for him to enter the Xianlong Mirror, this wild child from nowhere suddenly appeared, disrupting his plan, and making Xiang Qing feel monstrous hatred in his heart.
"Rabbit cub, eat my spirit fruit, take your life to atone for your sins." Xiang Qing's eyes showed a fierce gaze, and as he spoke, he raised his right palm and slapped it fiercely towards Qin He's head. However, just as Xiang Qing was about to kill Qin He to ease the hatred in his heart, he suddenly hurriedly withdrew his palm power and carefully observed Qin He lying on the ground again.
"Huh, the Shengying Fruit is still in the body, and only a very small part has been absorbed", Xiang Qing carefully checked Qin He's situation, and suddenly found that the Shengying Fruit was still in Qin He's body, and only a very small part of it had been absorbed.
Xiang Qing's first thought was to kill the boy in front of him and take out the Shengying Fruit from his stomach, but he suddenly thought that once the Shengying Fruit was taken by someone, if it was forcibly taken away from the body of others, the spiritual energy in the Lingguo would dissipate between heaven and earth by itself, but how to make the Shengying Fruit use it again for himself was really a difficult problem. Xiang Qing didn't know what to do for a while, so he sat cross-legged and thought slowly.
After only a cup of tea, Xiang Qing's eyes were shining, and he suddenly thought of something.
"When an immortal takes the spirit fruit, in addition to his understanding, that is to absorb the pure aura of the spirit fruit, and I just checked his body and found that there is no spiritual root in the body, which means that this child cannot absorb the spiritual energy and become an immortal cultivator. Therefore, the spirit fruit in his body will not be transformed into spiritual energy, but will be absorbed by his flesh and bones, and every inch of his flesh and blood will be filled with the medicinal power of the spirit fruit, and at that time...... Hey, hey.......". Xiang Qing thought as he smiled hesitantly, his face revealing endless ferocity and weirdness.
Looking at Qin He lying on the ground, Xiang Qing stretched out his palm and injected a pure aura into his body, as soon as the aura entered the body, it turned into a stream of energy that filled Qin He's whole body, before Qin He only fainted in the snow because of hunger and cold, and the Shengying fruit in his body has been maintaining his life, and now a pure energy is pouring into his body, Qin He's body has been replenished under this energy, and slowly, Qin He's weak body is constantly improving.
And after Xiang Qing injected spiritual power into Qin He, he no longer paid attention to Qin He, but just sat down cross-legged next to Qin He and recovered the spiritual power consumed by the previous flight. In this way, an hour passed in the blink of an eye, with the help of Xiang Qing's spiritual power, Qin He's body began to react slowly, first you could see Qin He's chest moving together, obviously his breathing had become even and powerful, and then Qin He's fingers also moved, and after another cup of tea, Qin He finally slowly regained consciousness.
Slowly opened his hazy eyes, and a stream of sunlight pierced his eyes, Qin He only felt that his brain was blank:
"Who am I and where am I?"
Qin He, who was lying on the ground, carefully recalled his previous memories, not paying attention to the fact that there was another person next to him, finally, after a while, Qin He recalled what had happened before, but he felt very puzzled in his heart, he remembered that he had fainted in the snow because of hunger and cold, shouldn't he have died already? But why did he wake up again.
"Hehe, little doll, are you awake?", seeing that Qin He woke up, Xiang Qing asked Qin He with a smile, the expression on his face was completely opposite to before.
Qin He was taken aback by the sudden voice, he got up from the ground suddenly, and turned his face to see that it was a young man, this man was dressed in white, smiling, looking quite kind, it shouldn't be a bad person, Qin He didn't speak, just thought silently in his heart.
"Child, what's your name, how old are you this year, and what about your father?", seeing that Qin He didn't speak, Xiang Qing asked again.
Seeing Xiang Qing ask again, Qin He was not silent this time, and whispered to Xiang Qing:
"My name is Qin He, I am just twelve years old this year, I haven't seen my mother, a few days ago my father took me out to hunt, and my father was also killed by wild beasts in order to save me", after Qin He finished speaking, the circles under his eyes began to redden, and then tears began to fall from the corners of his eyes like rain.
Hearing Qin He's answer, Xiang Qing suddenly showed a sad look, and then slowly approached Qin He's side and hugged Qin He into his arms:
"What a hard-working child, since you have no relatives, then follow your uncle in the future", Xiang Qing said as he patted Qin He slowly, the sad expression on his face seemed to be as real as coming from the heart.
Qin He listened to Xiang Qing's words of comfort, only felt that there seemed to be countless grievances in his heart, recalling what had happened before, Qin He finally couldn't hold back anymore, lying in Xiang Qing's arms, he finally said "wow" and began to cry, as he cried, the grievances in Qin He's heart were vented like a flood, just like that, after crying for a long time, Qin He slowly stopped sobbing.
After stopping crying, Qin He only felt a lot better in his heart, and suddenly, Qin He seemed to think of something again, and slowly left Xiang Qing's embrace, Qin He raised his head and said to Xiang Qing:
"Uncle, did you save me?"
"Hehe, let's also say the same, three days ago, I set out from the sect to travel here, and I saw that one of your children had been in a coma for a long time for some reason, and I couldn't bear it, so I took action to revive you." Xiang Qing replied to Qin He, but he didn't mention anything about Shengyingguo, and then, without waiting for Qin He to speak, Xiang Qing said again:
"I am Xiang Qing, the sect leader of the Heavenly Holy Sect thousands of miles away, you can call me Uncle Xiang in the future, the Heavenly Holy Sect is the largest sect within a radius of thousands of miles, now you have no relatives, I don't know if you are willing to return to the Heavenly Holy Sect with me, I Xiang Qing has not accepted a disciple since I cultivated, not only are you willing to become my first disciple?"
Listening to Xiang Qing's words, Qin He only felt that in the clouds, what Heavenly Saint Sect, what sect master, he had never heard of before, but since the Heavenly Saint Sect was thousands of miles away, it must be a far away, thinking of this, Qin He seemed to have found something, so he opened his eyes and said to Xiang Qing:
"Uncle, are you an immortal", Qin He's father said when he was hunting with his father before, there are immortals in this world, and those immortals are all powerful, moving mountains and seas, flying to the sky and the earth, and they are very capable, but it is generally difficult for mortals to see.
"Oh, do you still know about immortals?", listening to Qin He's words, Xiang Qing said with some incredulity.
"When I was hunting with my father before, it was he who told me that there are immortals in this world, and just now you said that you are the sect master thousands of miles away, and mortals can't go that far in their lives, so I guess my uncle may be an immortal." Qin He looked at Xiang Qing excitedly as he spoke, children are generally more curious, and when they see the legendary immortals, it is as if they have seen something strange.
"Hahaha, what a smart child, would you like to be my apprentice and become an immortal?", Xiang Qing asked with a laugh.
"I... Can I also become an immortal?", Qin He was a little overwhelmed, because in his heart, immortals were very mysterious existences, and now that he heard that he could also become an immortal, Qin He only felt that he was dreaming.
"If you want to become an immortal, you must have a spiritual root in your body, I just checked your body, it's a pity that you don't have a spiritual root in your body, but it doesn't matter, I can teach you the art of refining the body, although the art of refining the body is not as good as cultivating immortals, but it can also make you have a body of diamond iron bones, and it will not be much worse than ordinary immortal cultivators", Xiang Qing explained to Qin He.
Listening to Xiang Qing's words, Qin He's heart fluttered, in fact, when his father was still there, he fantasized about becoming an immortal, because becoming an immortal, he could fly freely in the sky like a bird, and if he became an immortal, he could fill his stomach and become an immortal, and his father would not work hard to hunt, let alone be killed by wild beasts because of hunting. Thinking of this, Qin He couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.
"Uncle Xiang, I am willing to worship you as a teacher, and I also want to become very strong, so that I can protect the people I want to protect in the future", Qin He showed a resolute gaze and said to Xiang Qing.
........................
At this time, on top of an unknown mountain, a sloppy and dirty-looking child is kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to a man in white, which is a simple apprenticeship ceremony. Although the child looks a little dirty, his face shows piety and firmness, and compared to the child, the man in white has a smile on his face, but this smile looks like something is wrong, like the most cunning beast who sees his beloved food.
