Chapter 4: The Yellow Crow

The crying outside the cave was intermittent, and An Xiaoyi was worried in her heart.

"Could it be that there are monsters?" An Xiaoyi hesitated in his heart, looked outside the cave, and saw that it was pitch black, but fortunately, there was still a faint moonlight, reflecting the vague shadows of the mountains and rocks in the distance, and the surroundings were very quiet, making the cry sound very weird.

"This is the fairy gate, there shouldn't be any monsters. An Xiaoyi calmed down a little hairy mood, took a deep breath, and walked out of the cave carefully.

Following the cry, An Xiaoyi walked over step by step, every few steps, not forgetting to observe the surrounding situation, if anyone saw it, they would definitely find that An Xiaoyi seemed to be a thief.

Dozens of zhang away, An Xiaoyi walked a stick of incense for a long time, for An Xiaoyi, this is a very unfamiliar environment after all, to ensure that there are no accidents, you must be careful everywhere.

The crying was getting louder and louder, and An Xiaoyi's heart was beating faster and faster, just when An Xiaoyi was about to hold back and turned around to go back, the voice was no longer short, but elongated the cry, as if he had discovered An Xiaoyi's arrival, and he was more interested in asking for help.

"Don't be afraid, what's the big deal. ”

An Xiaoyi gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, held back the fear in her heart, turned around and continued to tiptoe towards the cry.

"I'm not a bad person, if you're a monster, don't hurt me!" An Xiaoyi trembled unobediently, and approached the cry head-on, just when he opened his half-closed eyes, under an ancient tree, he found something only the size of a baby's head, and the sound came from there.

Just a foot away from that thing, An Xiaoyi observed the time of a stick of incense and made sure that it didn't look like a monster, and he relaxed in his heart.

"It's not a youkai! An Xiaoyi let out a long sigh, straightened his waist, his hands were still clenched into fists, and he walked under the ancient tree in a few steps.

Lying under the tree was the crying bird, and I saw that the bird was golden all over, but it looked like a crow, and the yellow-haired crow lay there motionless, but made a wailing sound, and looked like it was injured.

"I can't move, it seems that the injury is not light!" An Xiaoyi approached the yellow crow, watched it carefully, and came to a conclusion in his heart.

The yellow crow was dying, An Xiaoyi carefully picked it up with both hands, and in dozens of breaths, he returned to the cave, and the way back was much smoother.

Walking into the cave, An Xiaoyi gently placed the yellow crow on the stone bed, found an oil lamp to light it, and the originally dark cave was immediately filled with warm light.

"There were no obvious external injuries on the body, it should have been more serious internal injuries. An Xiaoyi took advantage of the light and carefully inspected the yellow crow's whole body.

"I have to find a way to treat his injuries, otherwise I guess he won't survive. An Xiaoyi frowned, she didn't have an idea in her heart, she thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

An Xiaoyi quickly came to the stone table, opened the storage bag issued by the sect to the registered disciples, and poured all the items in the bag onto the table.

There are not many items, a bamboo slip of exercises, a wooden sword, and three small boxes, which seem to be filled with pills and some spirit stones.

An Xiaoyi picked up a small box of pills, only to see the words "Ning Ling Dan" written on the box.

"The condensing elixir issued by this sect should replenish spiritual power, and it should have a certain effect on internal injuries. "An Xiaoyi doesn't know much about the pill, but he knows a little about the effect of the pill.

"No matter, try it, it's up to you to make it. An Xiaoyi thought about it, there was no better way, so he could only try this Ning Ling Pill.

An Xiaoyi opened the pill box, there was a black pill inside, he took out the pill, put it in the palm of his hand, crushed the pill, came to the stone bed, broke the yellow crow's mouth, and fed the pill little by little, and soon, the pill was all fed.

The yellow crow didn't move, only its two eyes that had been closed, blinking occasionally, and when it looked at An Xiaoyi, it seemed to be grateful.

After An Xiaoyi fed the yellow crow, he returned to the stone table, found a stone bench to sit down, and picked up the bamboo slips on the table.

"The first part of Qingfeng Xuangong - Cultivating the Spirit, is suitable for the cultivation of the third layer of the soul and below. An Xiaoyi opened the bamboo slip, looked at it carefully, and after reading it about ten times, he had a basic understanding of this introductory practice of cultivation.

The first step in cultivating the Cleansing and Transforming Vortex Gong is to form a circulation of aura in the body.

An Xiaoyi compared the movements and postures on the bamboo slips, adjusted his breathing, and after a few breaths, An Xiaoyi felt sore, and his internal organs were churning, but he didn't see the slightest aura.

"This cultivation is too difficult, no wonder Senior Brother Zhou said that it is impossible to reach the third level of spiritual cultivation in half a year, and pass the outer door assessment. An Xiaoyi began to cultivate, only to find that it was indeed much more difficult than he imagined.

"Either way, keep going. An Xiaoyi is not a person who gives up easily, the more difficult it is, the more it stimulates his fighting spirit.

A few days passed, and the three Ning Ling Pills were fed to the belly of the yellow crow by An Xiaoyi.

The elixir seemed to be working, and the yellow crow no longer had its eyes closed, and its head began to move.

After a few more days, the yellow crow could walk slowly in the cave, and seeing the yellow crow getting better day by day, An Xiaoyi was very happy and relieved.

During this time, An Xiaoyi has been cultivating according to the content of the bamboo slips of the Qingfeng Vortex Gong, but he has not made much progress, and he can only hold on to ten breaths at most, and the aura in his body is still not the slightest.

In fact, An Xiaoyi didn't know that the cultivation of this Qingfeng Vortex Gong would have to be practiced for a year and a half for ordinary people before there would be aura in his body, and he had only been practicing for a few days, so it was naturally impossible to feel the aura.

Time passed quickly, and while An Xiaoyi was cultivating day and night, a few days passed.

During this time, when An Xiaoyi was practicing, the yellow crow had been circling around him, and when An Xiaoyi failed again and again and hung his head, this yellow crow seemed to be quite spiritual, and he also lowered his head in frustration.

An Xiaoyi has been practicing the Cleansing Wind Transformation Vortex Gong for more than ten days, and there is still not much progress.

"Could it be that there is a problem with my cultivation method, what is the problem? If I continue like this, I will definitely be expelled from the sect after half a year. An Xiaoyi frowned, and the sense of crisis spread in the bottom of her heart, just when An Xiaoyi was depressed and stunned, the yellow crow "swished" and flew out of the cave.

"It seems that the yellow jay's injuries have healed and he can fly. An Xiaoyi felt a trace of joy in her heart, but when she thought of her own practice, her emotions still couldn't be raised, and she was even a little envious of the yellow crow in her heart.

"You can fly, and you can fly freely in the sky, and I don't know when I will be able to be like you. An Xiaoyi was a little melancholy, originally thinking that cultivating immortals would be able to go further and go to find her father and grandfather, but now she found that it was so difficult to get started with cultivation, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Persistence, persistence!" An Xiaoyi collected his emotions and continued to cultivate, persisting for more than ten breaths, but he was still defeated, and the aura in his body still did not appear.

Just when An Xiaoyi's heart was full of frustration, he saw a bird fly into the cave and land on the stone table, holding a red spirit fruit in his mouth, which was the yellow crow.

The yellow crow put the spirit fruit in his mouth on the stone table and looked at An Xiaoyi.

An Xiaoyi quickly got up, came to the stone table, and looked at the spirit fruit on the table.

"This is for me?" An Xiaoyi looked at the yellow crow and asked softly.

The yellow crow's eyes blinked, his head tilted slightly, and from the eyes he looked at An Xiaoyi, An Xiaoyi got a positive answer.

An Xiaoyi picked up the spirit fruit on the table, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was not a poisonous fruit, he put it in his mouth, this spirit fruit melted in his mouth, and after An Xiaoyi ate it, he immediately felt refreshed and refreshed, and his mouth was fragrant.

"How did you find it?" An Xiaoyi perked up, the frustration in his heart was swept away, he reached out and gently stroked the feathers of the yellow crow, and asked curiously.

The yellow-haired crow raised his head, looked upwards with his eyes, as if he was proud, and ignored An Xiaoyi, flapped his wings, and flew out of the cave again.

After seeing the yellow crow leave, An Xiaoyi meditated again, and continued to practice according to the diagram of the bamboo slips of the exercises, this time he insisted on twenty breaths, his breath seemed to be much smoother, and his body was not as sore as before.

After a while, the yellow crow came back and brought a bigger spirit fruit, An Xiaoyi quickly got up and picked up the spirit fruit and ate it, and continued to cultivate, this time he insisted on thirty breaths, and vaguely felt a trace of spiritual energy in his body.

"The aura has appeared!" An Xiaoyi was excited, this was the first time he felt the aura in his body since he had practiced for more than ten days.

After a stick of incense, the yellow crow came back with a spirit fruit bigger than its body, put it on the table, raised its head high, and looked at the top of the cave, the expression was no longer proud, as if it was proud.

An Xiaoyi ate this huge spirit fruit in a few bites, and his body obviously felt more comfortable.

Hurry up and meditate and cultivate, the cultivation has been able to last for sixty breaths, and the aura in the body has begun to form a thin stream.

"I can hold on any longer. An Xiaoyi's heart was excited, and he continued to cultivate.

"Seventy ......"

"Eighty Breath ......"

"Ninety Breath ......"

“......“

"One Hundred and Forty ......"

"One hundred and fifty breaths...... An Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and insisted, and only gave up cultivation when he couldn't hold on.

In the next few days, the yellow crow would bring dozens of spirit fruits of different sizes every day, An Xiaoyi, with the assistance of the spirit fruit, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and his cultivation has been able to last for hundreds of breaths, and the spiritual energy in his body is no longer a trickle, but a small stream.

"The aura in the body can form a complete cycle, and you can reach the level of spiritual cultivation. An Xiaoyi's cultivation is more diligent, and the aura in his body is gathering more and more, and he can break through the obstacles with just one trace of it, forming a cycle of aura.

"I've finally reached the first level of soul cultivation!"

The aura in An Xiaoyi's body is no longer a stream, but a small river, with turbulent waves and endless flow, just after breaking through the last barrier, forming a cycle of aura.

In the next few days, An Xiaoyi continued to cultivate, and the yellow crow also continued to bring the spirit fruit, but the effect of the spirit fruit became weaker and weaker, and the spiritual energy in the body did not change much.

"According to the records of the Qingfeng Xuangong Bamboo Slips, if you want to reach the second level of spiritual cultivation, you must cooperate with the taking of the Ning Ling Pill. After the cultivation effect stagnated, An Xiaoyi had to consider new cultivation methods.

"The three Condensing Spirit Pills issued by the sect have all healed the injuries of the yellow crow, if you want to continue cultivating, you must first get the Condensing Spirit Pill. An Xiaoyi thought of the Ning Ling Dan, and planned to go down the mountain, when he came to Qingfeng Gate, he saw a medicine shop on the road, and there should be Ning Ling Dan for sale.

An Xiaoyi took the spirit stone and came to the medicine shop, this medicine shop is not big, there are many pills and prescriptions for sale, the Ning Ling Pill belongs to the cultivation of the entry pill, naturally there are also sales.

An Xiaoyi bought three Ning Ling Pills, and on the way back, when he passed through a dense jungle, there was an angry shout behind him.

"Stand ......"
