Chapter 39: The Opening Bell
Yao'er was busy in the alchemy room all night, and finally matched the snake demon inner pill with ambergris purple bead grass and other spirit herbs with similar medicinal properties to knead three pill embryos. Each of them was the size of a fist, and they were black in a wooden basin, like a boiled animal heart.
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning finally shone into the deep Flying Dragon Valley, Yao'er carefully put the three Dan embryos into the Laojun furnace. She closed the lid on the stove, took a deep breath, and with a wave of her dirty sleeve, ordered the fire to be lit.
Qiu Wushuang and the others only carried firewood, chopped firewood, and lit fires. Every hour, Yao'er had to carry the Nine Turns of Yin and Yang Gong taught by the Heavenly Master and inject it into the furnace fire, so that the exercises could run with the fire to adjust the yin and yang qi in the furnace.
Qiu Wushuang and the others can take turns to rest, only Yao'er is irreplaceable, she is sweating profusely in the alchemy room, and she is not willing to go out to rest for a while between the intervals of an hour. Her persistent energy, even Long Concubine Qiong, who didn't look at her very much, secretly admired her.
Huan'er brought lunch at noon. Yao'er was accompanied by this personal maid and washed up by the stream, and her face looked much more energetic.
The Lanzhi Elf also came over in the afternoon, sitting beside Qiu Wushuang, watching everyone busy with alchemy. She carefully looked at Qiu Wushuang's face who was burning the fire, the scabs on his body and face had all disappeared, but the skin on his head was still a tender red, looking like a vermilion fruit.
"Little-little brother, although he is a disciple of the Xiuzhen Sect, it seems that the foundation has not been built. She accosted Qiu Wushuang while handing him firewood, "Little brother, can you let me try the depth of your true qi?"
Qiu Wushuang generously stretched out his right hand in front of her and said with a smile: "Big sister, just try it. I feel that the true qi in my body is very chaotic, and I really need to be pointed out with a high finger. ”
Lan Zhi Elf said with a gloomy expression: "What kind of master am I, I am just a maid of the elf clan who is outcast." When encountering fifth-order demon beasts, how can they be considered masters?"
The moment her fingers touched the veins of Qiu Wushuang's wrist, Long Concubine Qiong erected a small body on Qiu Wushuang's right shoulder, and secretly a dragon storm aura locked between her meridians. If she has malice towards Qiu Wushuang, it will be the end of the meridians being locked in an instant and the heart being broken.
A light Lanzhi Elf True Qi tentatively injected into Qiu Wushuang's body from the meridians of his right hand. He felt that the soft true qi hidden in the dantian suddenly became excited, and through the Shaoyang meridian on the right side of his body, it surged wildly towards the meridians of his right hand.
The two true qi met at the meridian of Qiu Wushuang's right hand, blending with each other, like old friends with similar temperaments.
The Lanzhi Elf's injuries have not healed, so he can't consume his true qi too much. After she withdrew her true qi, her face turned slightly pale, but there was a smile of relief on her face, and she said: "The little brother is not a small fortune, and he has the pure and true qi of our elven clan's thousand-year-old peach tree essence in his body, but the little brother doesn't understand the luck method of our elf clan." If my little brother is free, I will not hesitate to teach you to repay you for saving your life. Moreover, the true qi of the elven clan has the primitive function of cultivating the body. The thousand-year-old peach tree has a very powerful repair function for its own scars, and the little brother only needs to exercise a little, and the skin on his body will be as smooth as ever. ”
When Yao'er, Ying Shuangshuang and the others heard her say so amazingly, they urged Qiu Wushuang to follow the Lanzhi Elf to learn the Movement Method. Win Shuangshuang snatched the work on Qiu Wushuang's hands, and the jade hand nudged Qiu Wushuang, and said in a coquettish voice: "Little junior brother, hurry up and follow the elf sister to cultivate, but you have to compete with others after the alchemy is completed." ”
Yao'er, Wan Dahai, Qiao Songnian and others hurriedly asked what was going on. Win Shuangshuang told Qiu Wushuang and Tan Wenyuan about the meeting.
After speaking, she looked at the Lanzhi Elf eagerly again, and asked, "Elf Sister, I just learned the Elf Clan's Movement Method, I wonder if I can defeat a cultivator who is a beginner cultivator in the Enlightenment Period?"
The Lanzhi Elf smiled proudly and said, "The cultivation of the thousand-year-old peach tree essence is no problem against the mages of the middle level of the human race's primordial infancy. Using it to defeat a cultivator in the Enlightenment Period can only be regarded as a small test. ”
Yao'er joked about winning Shuangshuang: "Sister Shuang'er, you are so looking forward to the big brother defeating that Tan Wenyuan." That's your cousin. ”
Win Shuangshuang's pretty face is red, if the hibiscus is in the first flower, she is coquettish at Yao'er.
After Qiu Wushuang left with the Lanzhi Elf, Ying Shuangshuang said worriedly: "I don't know if the little junior brother has cultivated the exercises of the elf clan, will a pair of wings grow on his back." ”
Wan Dahai and Qiao Songnian looked at each other and smiled. They all thought in their hearts that the little junior brother was just a registered disciple of Kucang now, and he was likely to be the head of the Kucang faction in the future.
In the utility room in the small courtyard, the Lanzhi elf asked Qiu Wushuang to sit cross-legged on the spot, and said: "Our elf clan is all grass and trees, absorbing the yin and yang aura of heaven and earth, and only then can we cultivate into essence, so we are born with yin and yang. The second vein is left yin and right yang, the true qi from the dantian to the yin vein, and then enters the yang vein and stimulates it between the right palm, which is the most basic way of exercise, and it is also what you need to learn today. Elves who have cultivated to the fourth order can conjure a pair of wings between the two veins of yin and yang. After that, you can practice the Yin and Yang two veins backwards until you reach the realm of the sage who returns to the two veins and flies without wings against the wind. You have the cultivation of the thousand-year-old peach tree essence, and at least the cultivation skills of the fifth-order elves, now teach you the most basic exercise methods, and when you are proficient, you will understand the wonders of other movement paths. ”
Qiu Wushuang nodded and said, "It's good to be lucky." I don't want to grow a pair of wings and make people not look like people, and elves don't look like elves. ”
He followed the exercise method taught by the Lanzhi Elf, and sure enough, he felt a gentle qi in the dantian rise, slowly flowing through the meridians on the left side of his body, and then flowing into the meridians of his right hand. He raised his hand and his luck dantian was shocked, and sure enough, a gentle true qi came out from his right palm, hitting some abandoned spirit grass in the utility room flying everywhere.
"Oh, it's really good!" he danced with excitement, feeling as if he had been reborn.
The Lanzhi Elf nodded happily and said, "The cultivation of our elf clan is only an elf clan with the two veins of yin and yang, and only the elf clan can absorb and inherit it. The little brother is wearing a peach fairy talisman, and he is indeed a member of our elf clan. ”
Qiu Wushuang was taken aback and said, "You say that I am also an elf? How is that possible? I remember that although I was an orphan, when I was very young, my parents were both there, and then they were killed by the 'Eastern Pirates' on the way out of the mountain, and I became a gangster because of this, until I became a registered disciple of the Kucang faction. I'm not an elf made of grass and trees. As for the peach talisman I wore around my neck, although it was worn on my body since I was a child, it may have been picked up by my dead parents somewhere. ”
The blue zhi elf's gaze was a little distant, as if he was recalling something. After a long time, she sighed and said, "The peach immortal talisman of the elf clan, do you think people from other clans can wear it?" Forget it, don't talk about it now. You'll get to know it later. You try to exercise the exercises a few more times until you are very ripe. ”
Qiu Wushuang didn't think much about it, and once again lucked the dantian and started a new round of luck.
But this time it wasn't so lucky. The qi that came out of the dantian, when they entered the yin vein, disappeared out of thin air, as if they had suddenly fallen into a bottomless black hole.
He did it again, and the result was still the same.
The Lanzhi Elf stepped forward to test the true qi in his body again, and said in surprise: "Your dantian is full of the true qi of the thousand-year-old peach tree essence, why can't you suddenly stimulate the true qi?" ”
Qiu Wushuang continued to try again, but this time he was able to stir up a breath of true qi and hit the dust in the room.
Due to the fact that the true qi is sometimes good and sometimes bad, he practiced from the morning to the afternoon, and he could not send and receive the true qi and luck freely. On the contrary, the skin on his face became whiter and whiter each time in the process of successfully striking out his true qi several times, and finally it was as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg. Although the hair on his face still hasn't grown, his handsome face, his aura eyes, and crystal skin that seems to have divine light are enough to make the eyes of countless girls fall.
The Lanzhi Elf glanced at him, and his heart was pounding. She secretly "puffed" herself, and praised in her heart: "This is the proper demeanor of the descendants of the elf peach fairy." ”
She withdrew from the door, pondering in her heart the strange performance of Qiu Wushuang's exercises.
Qiu Wushuang practiced the exercise method repeatedly, but he couldn't succeed again and again, and his heart gradually became impatient. He shook the dantian sharply, and a true qi erupted from his right palm, and with a "boom", the wall of the utility room was directly knocked out of a big hole.
He ran out of the big hole in disgrace, stood in the courtyard and smiled awkwardly at the people who came out of the alchemy room, and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop it, and I almost demolished the house." ”
Win Shuangshuang hurriedly used a wooden basin to fetch a basin of stream water, and said excitedly: "Little junior brother, you have achieved success, congratulations." ”
Qiu Wushuang scooped water with both hands, cleaned his face, and smiled at her, "Thank you, junior sister." However, this exercise is a bit strange for me, and it comes and goes. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can use it, you can keep it and beat Tan Wenyuan's urine. ”
This time, Ying Shuangshuang didn't bother to laugh at his inappropriate words, but looked at his face blankly, a wisp of red clouds slowly floated on his jade face, and there was some obsession in his eyes.
Qiu Wushuang rushed straight to the lunch box on the stone table, and took out the lunch that everyone had left for him because they couldn't bear to disturb his cultivation, and devoured it one by one.
While eating, he asked Yao'er, who was standing at the door of the alchemy room, "Brother Yao'er, is the elixir about to be baked?"
Yao'er glanced at him, her face turned red for no reason, and said, "You're too lazy to practice." The sun is about to go down, and you have to ring this furnace bell. ”
"Opening the furnace clock?" Qiu Wushuang asked suspiciously, "Where is it?"
Yao'er pointed to the old locust tree next door to the gate of the Dandao Courtyard and said, "The big bell hanging on the old locust tree is called the furnace bell." You only need to knock three times, it means that we are ready to open the furnace, and we expect to open the elixir above the third order. After the furnace was opened, the elixir was tested, and if it was determined that it was a few levels of elixir, it was necessary to ring the bronze bell a few times to inform everyone of the results of the furnace. Our Heavenly Master Sect attaches great importance to the opening of the elixir, if you don't believe that you knock on it three times, there will be many people who come to wait for the results of the furnace. ”
Qiu Wushuang walked out of the small courtyard, walked to the bottom of the big locust tree, looked up at the furnace bell hanging on the branches more than three meters high, quietly touched the dragon concubine Qiong on her right shoulder, and said with a bitter face: "Little Flying Insect sister, how can such a high bell ring?"
"Ugly brother. Well, even though you've suddenly become handsome, I still like to call you ugly brother. Concubine Long Qiong said leisurely, "That stubborn guy wants you to show your cultivation of the exercises." ”
"But as you saw just now, my exercises sometimes work, sometimes not, I don't know how many times it takes to ring the furnace bell three times. ”
"I've been watching you practice just now, and I can't figure out why your true qi comes and goes. I'll have to check your meridians when I'm free!Now you're going to try it, that stubborn guy, you look at the appearance of the sword alchemy, you know how to change your mind!"
Qiu Wushuang had a bitter face, tried more than ten times under the big locust tree, and was so tired that he was sweating profusely before he rang the furnace bell three times. Moreover, the three bells struck by different weights sounded neither long nor coherent, and the tone was very comical.
