Chapter 10 Late Night Trading
Shen Mu had long been accustomed to this tone, his expression remained unchanged at the moment, he took out a small bottle of spiritual liquid from his body and handed it to Chang Bei, and then said: "Please also ask Brother Chang Bei to convey it on your behalf, this is a little careful." ”
After weighing the amount of spiritual liquid in his hand, Chang Bei smiled, he usually only gets this kind of weight in a month, but he didn't expect that just by finding Xu Hu's residence for Shen Mu, he could get it, and this kind of good errand is not a fool to do.
"Okay, I'll take you over now, Senior Brother Xu Hu has always cultivated hard, and he must not have slept yet. ”
Under Changbei's guidance, it took another half an hour for the two to walk to Xu Hu's residence, this is Elder Guchuan's Sword Mountain, in the Azure Taoist Temple, sword cultivation has its own faction, all of which are under the jurisdiction of Elder Guchuan, and Xu Hu is called an inner disciple, but he is a close disciple of Guchuan, and the resources are not much worse than those of his own disciples, it can be said that Xu Hu is really one step to the sky this time.
"No, it's just ahead, but I don't dare to enter this sword mountain. Chang Bei stopped, not daring to step into the Sword Peak, who in the Azure Daoist Temple did not know that Elder Guchuan had a withdrawn personality, if he stepped into the Sword Peak by himself without his permission, there would be no good fruit to eat.
Shen Mu hugged his fists and thanked, Chang Bei was able to take him here, it was enough, others had that kind of restriction, but he didn't, the personal disciple could go anywhere in this Azure Taoist Temple, and although Elder Furukawa had a withdrawn personality, he took the rules very seriously, even if Shen Mu, a personal disciple, was not worthy of his name, he would not be embarrassed in this regard.
After entering the Sword Mountain Peak, Shen Mu only felt that the cold sword intent was pouring into his body one by one, which seemed to have some tempering effect on the will, and Shen Mu was overjoyed at the moment, he had never been to this Sword Peak before, but he had not found the wonder here.
Along the way, Shen Mu was not only looking for Xu Hu, but also silently bearing the wash of this sword intent, and when he was close to the halfway point of the mountain, the sword intent had already turned into substance and began to affect the physical body.
As soon as the actual sword intent entered his body, Shen Mu felt the pain in his heart, especially the several large meridians in his body, which were like being cut layer by layer by a blade, and the pain, even with Shen Mu's perseverance, was a little unbearable.
Shen Mu was also decisive, and sat down directly on his knees at the moment, and began to absorb those sword intents containing energy.
When those sword intents entered his body, Shen Mu only felt that he seemed to be in a world of sword intent, those sharp swords cycled back and forth, constantly running through his body, and the sharp pain from the meridians made Shen Mu sweat profusely almost instantly, but he kept gritting his teeth and insisting, only by adapting to these sword intents could he go to find Xu Hu, otherwise if he missed today, he would not know what variables would be in the future.
If someone can look inside Shen Mu's body at this time, they will be able to find that those sword intents have been tearing the void on Shen Mu's meridians, cracking the wounds that had already been stereotyped again, if enough time is given, maybe it is really possible to stimulate the rebirth of Shen Mu's broken meridians.
"Hmph, what kind of kid, without the consent of the old man, he absorbed the sword intent cultivated by the old man here, do you know that this is a serious crime?"
A cold snort interrupted Shen Mu's absorption, and an old man in cloth appeared in front of him, this old man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although he was old, he was still sharp, it was the leader of the sword cultivation line, Elder Ishikawa.
Shen Mu stood up and patted the dirt on his body, now he couldn't feel the existence of any sword intent, only the sharp pain on his body showed the truth of all his previous experiences, obviously Ishikawa had already collected the spell.
"Elder Ishikawa, Shen Mu didn't mean to offend, but he just had something important to discuss with Senior Brother Xu Hu, so he came to this Sword Mountain. ”
In the Tianqing Taoist Temple, when facing the inner disciples and the outer disciples, no matter how old they are, they call their junior brothers and sisters in a unified manner, and Shen Mu knew that this Elder Ishikawa cared about the rules very much, so he called Xu Hu his junior brother.
Although Elder Ishikawa had impatience on his face, he did not refuse Shen Mu's request, and after summoning Xu Hu, he told him that he only had time for a cup of tea, and that he needed to go back to rest immediately after that.
Then Elder Ishikawa left, he still didn't bother to listen to the conversation between these disciples, and Shen Mu was also relieved to this, if Ishikawa was here, he was destined to fail this deal.
Xu Hu is still the same as before, carrying a wooden sword on his body, a sword cultivator, the sword does not leave his body, the sword is in the person, the sword destroys the person, this is the insistence of every sword cultivator, Xu Hu at this time is more resolute than a month ago, and the whole person looks much more restrained, obviously the understanding of the sword is a step higher.
Before and after coming to Shen Mu's body, Xu Hu clasped his fists and said, "Senior Brother Shen Mu, I don't know if you have anything to discuss with me? ”
Shen Mu looked at Xu Hu and sighed with some emotion in his heart, Xu Hu has changed greatly in the past ten days, and why shouldn't he, it can be said that these things will change the trajectory of his life.
Putting all these thoughts behind him at the moment, Shen Mu also clenched his fists and said, "I don't deserve to be called a senior brother, but I came to you today, I really have something important, I don't know if you can sell me the previous cultivation method and enter the sect of Elder Ishikawa, presumably you should have a new practice to cultivate." ”
Feeling a trace of sadness in Shen Mu's words, Xu Hu said with some doubts: "Doesn't Senior Brother Shen Mu have a cultivation method? As a personal disciple, you should have better resources than anyone else, how can you need Xu's low-level exercises?"
Shen Mu shook his head and smiled when he heard this, the exercises given to him by the Azure Dao people before couldn't even cultivate a trace of spiritual power, not even the lowest level exercises, presumably it was just the Azure Dao people themselves making it up.
"Brother Xu Hu must know that in the past twenty years, I have not had any spiritual power, so I am wondering, is the exercise too high-level, I am not qualified to practice, so I hope to be able to take Senior Brother Xu Hu's exercises, but I have a regret, I can use three Qi Condensing Pills to exchange with Brother Xu Hu, I don't know what to do?"
Hearing Shen Mu's condition, even with Xu Hu's state of mind, he couldn't help but want to agree to Shen Mu immediately, the Qi Condensation Pill is the elixir that a Qi Condensation Stage cultivator dreams of, as long as he takes one pill, he can instantly improve his cultivation to one-third of this realm, although a person can't take too much in his life, but this will undoubtedly greatly shorten the cultivation time of the Qi Condensation Period.
However, Xu Hu finally waved his hand and said: "The Qi Condensation Pill is too valuable, it's just an ordinary exercise, three Qi Condensing Pills, I'm afraid it can be exchanged for dozens of copies, I can't do this kind of transaction." ”
Shen Mu smiled, and then said: "Brother Xu Hu doesn't have to shirk, although a low-level exercise is not worth the price, but I want Brother Xu Hu to help me keep this secret, and no one can tell me!"
Xu Hu heard Shen Mu's words, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, although he was obsessed with cultivation, it didn't mean that he didn't understand anything, Shen Mu's words clearly showed that he was suspicious of the exercises he was cultivating! This matter can't be thought about carefully, it's really too related, if it's true, then there is a huge secret hidden in this Azure Dao Temple.
"Brother Xu Hu, can you agree to Shen's request?" Shen Mu looked at Xu Hu, his eyes were full of waves, as if this matter was just an ordinary transaction for him.
Xu Hu took a deep breath, then took out a shabby exercise book and handed it to Shen Mu, this transaction was not a loss for him, and Shen Mu was one of his few friends, he couldn't help but help with this favor.
After getting the exercises, Shen Mu thanked him, turned around and left, he would not come to look for Xu Hu again in the future, but this kindness, he Shen Mu remembered in his heart.
Xu Hu looked at Shen Mu who was walking away step by step, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, the bleak back, lonely and strong, the wind at night was even stronger, and the fallen leaves rolled up Shen Mu's figure and disappeared into the night.
Back at his residence, Shen Mu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", that sword intent had caused a lot of damage to his meridians, but he had to endure it, he didn't want his own blood to give some people clues. At this time, the meridian void in Shen Mu's body was growing at an extremely slow speed, and the previous breach brought Shen Mu not only pain, but also regeneration.
Holding this shabby exercise that didn't even have a name, Shen Mu opened it and looked at the method of absorbing the aura and making it into the body, this look was half an hour, until he memorized all the running routes, Shen Mu sat down cross-legged and began to feel the aura according to the method mentioned above.
After the Qi sank into the Lingtai Acupoint, Shen Mu felt the stars in the dark, and according to the description of the exercise, he had to feel the aura, and then introduce it from the Lingtai Acupoint, and after seven weeks of operation, he would return to his own dantian, so that he could be regarded as completely absorbing the spiritual energy into the body.
The speed of feeling the aura, the speed of absorption, is the criterion for judging whether a person has the qualification to cultivate immortals, and Shen Mu has no achievements in absorbing it, although he can easily feel the existence of aura, but that feeling is to look at the golden mountain in front of him, but he can't take away a single star.
But now, according to the absorption method of the nameless exercise, Shen Mu was really able to absorb the aura into his body, and the speed of that absorption, if Xu Hu saw it, he would definitely be amazed, even with his current cultivation of the sixth layer of condensation, it was still a big gap from Shen Mu's absorption speed.
The Azure Daoist Temple was already in a place with abundant spiritual energy, and the area where Shen Mu lived, although it was not the area with the strongest spiritual energy, was not far behind, and it could meet Shen Mu's absorption.
But it was still the same as last time, those spiritual qi wandered around Shen Mu's body, and a large part of it overflowed from the meridian gap, due to the previous injury, when these spiritual qi overflowed, they touched the wound on the meridians, which immediately made Shen Mu gasp, this kind of severe pain was like Ling Chi.
But the tenacity hidden in Shen Mu's personality allowed him to support him at this moment, not giving up because of these pains, nor being frustrated because he could only absorb a very small part of the aura, but firmly, bit by bit, absorbing those residual auras into his body.
An hour later, Shen Mu finished his cultivation exhausted, he was too tired, the intense pain in the meridians kept his spirit highly concentrated, and at the same time, it was also consuming his energy, almost the moment he finished his cultivation, he fell asleep on the bed.
