In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.

Shen Yun rubbed his swollen temples, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, rested for a while, picked up another book, and read it selflessly.

On the ground in front of him, more than two dozen books were neatly arranged.

After another half an hour, Shen Yun raised his head, closed the book in his hand, and placed it on the left hand side.

"Whew-" Shen Yun couldn't help but let out a sigh. "I've finally finished reading it, and I've finally completed the number of books I set for today."

"Well, that's right, even if you become a disciple of the Qi Refiner family, it is absolutely impossible to familiarize yourself with twenty books in just one day. Even if she is as critical as the Night Girl, she can't help but praise her at this time.

"Okay, I'll test you next. Among the seventy-two counties of the Great Chu Kingdom, which one of them is called the 'Capital of Fish and Rice'?"

"Surabaya County, with a population of more than 13 million, a total of more than 280 counties, large and small, with Surabaya City as the capital of a county, the seventh generation of the monarch of the Great Chu State in the 28th year of Qingli gave a golden plaque 'the capital of fish and rice'......"

"What is the content of the "Tao Yao" article in the "Book of Songs"?"

"National Style, Zhou Nan, Taoyao", the peach is dying, scorching its glory. For the return of the son, it is appropriate for the family to ......"

After asking and answering like this, I found that Shen Yun not only knew all these thirty books by heart, but also knew them by heart, and memorized them like a stream, which was commendable.

"Well, that's good. After some assessment, the night girl found that Shen Yun's answer was fluent, "In this case, let's start tonight's cultivation as soon as possible." ”

In the middle of the house, I saw a wooden bucket for bathing, filled with warm water.

The night girl took Mao Xiaofang's portable cloth bag, took out a small bottle, took out a green and faint elixir, and threw it into the bucket, the entire water surface seemed to turn into boiling water, very viscous, bubbling with green bubbles, emitting a pungent smell of herbs.

Then, he threw a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill to Shen Yun, Shen Yun took it, took out a pill, and swallowed it in one gulp, only to feel that the lower abdomen was cold and uncomfortable.

"Plop-" Shen Yun jumped into the barrel, only to feel that the boiling water scalded his skin and flesh, every inch of his body skin suddenly became red, every pore on his body was stretched, and a trace of hot air went straight into his body, the pain was endless, the itching was unbearable, Shen Yun couldn't help but grin for a while.

"Hehe, this pain is nothing compared to the pain at the time of the cold attack. Over the years in Blackstone Village, I have been dealing with jackals and boars, and I have almost lost my life several times, and my chest and back are full of animal claw marks. Shen Yun touched the scar on his right cheek, and there was some emotion in his mouth.

When the night girl heard this, she couldn't help but be a little moved. Thinking that Shen Yun was young, he haunted the mountains and forests every day and fought with jackals, but it was forced by life, but it was also admirable.

"In this case, let's hurry up and cultivate, I think that the combination of this 'medicinal bath' method and the power of the elixir of the 'Qi Nourishing Pill' is enough to quench your body to a mid-level Qi Refiner within two months. After saying this, the night girl said no more, sat cross-legged on the bed, and cultivated on her own.

Hearing this, Shen Yun sat cross-legged in the barrel, closed his eyes and cultivated, and after a while, he felt that the slightest cool air in his lower abdomen was intertwined with the heat wave in the barrel, nourishing Shen Yun's body, and he actually reached a wonderful balance.

And Shen Yun's body was also washed by the aura of heaven and earth, and his blood, muscles and bones became more and more tenacious, and even some of the secret injuries accumulated over the years had a great tendency to heal, which was amazing.

The jade rabbit fell to the west, and the golden crow rose to the east.

The warm sunlight shone in through the window and shone on Shen Yun's body.

"Whew-"

Shen Yun woke up from his cultivation state, opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes opened, and a flash of essence flashed in his eyes.

Shen Yun sniffed, only to feel that there was a fishy smell in the room, and when he looked down, the original green medicinal bath in the wooden barrel suddenly turned into dirty black water, and when he stood up, he found that the surface of his body was also covered with a layer of sludge, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Night Girl, Night Girl...... , I'm ......" Shen Yun couldn't help but shout.

"What are you calling, this is just the impurities that you have absorbed the medicinal power in the 'medicinal bath' and the heaven and earth aura contained in the 'Qi Nourishing Pill', so why make a fuss. The Night Girl seemed to be awakened from her cultivation by Shen Yun's scream, her face was displeased, and she said coldly.

"Hehe, excuse me...... I, I'm ......" Shen Yun stared at the delicate face of the night girl bathed in the morning light, and was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

In fact, after getting along for a few days, Shen Yun also found that although the black gauze woman in front of him was moody and very cold to herself, she really helped herself and had no intention of harming her.

Besides, he can't live for a year at most, what can the other party plan for himself?

Shen Yun's original vigilance was also relaxed a lot at this time.

When the night girl saw Shen Yun's posture, her brows furrowed again.

"You ask Xiao Er to get some water first, and then wash it up. By the way, the paper on the desk has written the books to be purchased today, so let Xiao Er go and buy them, and be sure to read them today. ”

Shen Yun agreed, called Xiao Er, changed two buckets of water, washed his body, then called for food, and sent Xiao Er out to buy books.

When the little second came to the house and cleaned up the room, he was really surprised to see a bucket of sewage and Shen Yun covered in dirt.

However, this place is Qingyuan City, the place where the two counties meet, belongs to the "three regardless" zone, every day to come and go merchants, dragons and snakes are mixed, all kinds of tenants see a lot.

After a long time, the shopkeeper of the inn and Xiao Er naturally became like a human spirit, as long as he gave money, he could say anything.

In this way, it saved Shen Yun a lot of trouble, and naturally he didn't need to explain more.

......

And just like that, a month flew by.

In a room of the Xiangyun Inn in Qingyuan City, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was lazily lying in a wooden barrel, napping, and the barrel was steaming, so comfortable.

On the bed in the room, a woman in her twenties with a stunning posture was sitting cross-legged with her hands flat on her knees, as if practicing some kind of magic technique.

After another half a day's effort, the young man in the bucket woke up and turned around, looking at his thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, it was Shen Yun.

Shen Yun stood up from the bucket, wiped his body clean, picked up a book casually, walked to the dining table, and munched on the chicken leg while reading the "Secrets of the Great Chu Royal Family" in his hand, reading it with relish.

"Well, after a month, it's finally like a little bit. Now your body has been tempered to the peak of a low-level qi refiner, and you are only one line away from breaking through to a middle-level qi refiner, as for these books......" I don't know when, the night girl actually stood beside Shen Yun, looked at the bookcase in the corner of the room, and continued.

"I didn't expect you to read the classics in just one month, and even dabbled in these market books. Now pretending to be Mao Xiaofang and entering the Qi Refiner's house, he will not be seen through at a glance. ”

"Hehe, it's all your credit, if it weren't for you, I would never have had the opportunity to contact the method of cultivating immortals, and I got such a good opportunity to read a lot of books. Shen Yun didn't show a surprised expression, as if he had long been accustomed to the night girl's haunting situation.

At this time, Shen Yun has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with before January.

There is no scar on his body, his body is thin, but his posture is straight, his muscles are strong, and he is full of explosive power like a cheetah.

Because of the relationship between reading all the books, the whole person reveals the atmosphere of a scholar, plus a blue shirt, and he is a son.

It's just that its skin is dark, but it can also be seen at a glance that it is caused by perennial wind and sun.

"There is poetry and books in the belly, and it is true. This is also the result of your own practice of forgetting to sleep and eat in January, meditating on your cultivation, and concentrating on studying, where is my credit. The night girl listened to Shen Yun's words, thought about Shen Yun's penance day and night in the past month, and spoke.

"By the way, according to this book, twenty years ago, when Empress Xiao entered the palace gate, she won the emperor's favor alone, and she was named the queen less than a year after entering the palace. Thirteen years ago, the emperor died of illness, and it happened that Empress Xiao gave birth to a prince, in order to avoid falling into the palace fight, the prince was taken out of the palace by a Praetorian Guard. When Shen Yun said this, he stopped, looking at his face, as if he was very curious about the Empress Xiao mentioned in the book.

"Yes, that's probably how it should be. In the past thirteen years, he has been the regent of the Nine Princes and the management of the Chu State, but Queen Naxiao is very mysterious, and there are many hidden secrets that are not known to outsiders. The Night Maiden looked down and thought for a moment, then opened her mouth to explain.

Then, his tone was correct and his expression became serious.

"Tonight, I am going to refine the 'Purifying Pill', speaking of the value of this pill, you should also know that even if you are a disciple of the inner sect of the five sects, I am afraid that you will also need to contribute a lot to the sect before you will be given this pill, and it is very generous to think that the Nine Princes will make a move. Similarly, if you want to completely refine this elixir, you only need to open the spiritual veins and become a disciple of the 'Spirit Movement Period'. ”

"Of course I know about this, if I can refine this pill, even if it is a small part of the medicinal power, it is enough to be reborn and lay the foundation for the 'Spiritual Opening Ceremony' in the future. Shen Yun listened to the words of the night girl, his face turned straight, and he said so.

"That's right, with your current cultivation as a low-level Qi Refiner, even if you return to the Qi Refiner's family, you will never be reused, but you may attract the former enemies of the Mao Daoist and be hunted down. If you can reach the middle level of Qi Refining, I am afraid that the original Qi Refiner family will treat you as a guest when they see that you have great potential. However, it will take you to survive tonight. The night girl said this, showing a hint of worry on her face, after all, she still needs to use Shen Yun's power to condense the ghost body, and she doesn't want to be scattered.

When Shen Yun saw the night girl's expression, he felt a little unbearable in his heart, and couldn't help but say with relief.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down. Even if it is for himself, he must refine this 'marrow cleansing pill'. ”

Shen Yun looked at the night girl and said firmly.
