Chapter 7 Ancient Trees
"Knock! knock!"
On the border between the Yue Kingdom and the Namun Mountains, an inconspicuous hill emits a dull and rhythmic tapping sound.
In the past two months, Zhou Yue has been constantly hitting the mountain wall, and when he is really weak, he will take a pill given by a bald man, and he can't care about being tired, and he will only sit down to heal when his bones can't stand the impact.
In the cave, he had opened a one-man wide, hundred-zhang long corridor, looking from the entrance of the corridor, but it was dark and deep, bottomless.
"Hah...... Ha ......" Zhou Yue gasped, threw a pill into his mouth, two months of taking it had made him no longer reject the strange smell of this pill, he was about to continue to hit the mountain wall as usual, but suddenly his face changed, he immediately sat down cross-legged, pinched a magic trick in his hand, and drank softly in his mouth: "Condensation!"
The pill suddenly dissolved, and a pure ownerless true qi stirred in Zhou Yue's body, but what was different from the past was that the light seed in his dantian actually released countless true qi at the same time, frantically plundering the ownerless true qi in Zhou Yue's meridians and veins, and then rolled back when it reached the end of his limbs, repeating the cycle.
He felt that the light seed was a little restless, as the true qi continued to wash away, this unstable feeling became more and more obvious, at first he even tried to stop those true qi, until he realized that this was not a bad thing, this was about to break through! Zhou Yue was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately let go of his heart, urging those true qi to wash back and forth in his body.
The Radiant Seed made a crisp sound, and it swelled several times in the snap of a finger!
Zhou Yue's heart was irrepressibly welling up with a trace of happiness, the depression of these days seemed to be swept away in an instant, he could no longer bear it, and let out a long whistling sound, endless! The cave with the long howling earthquake was full of echoes, and even a lot of sand and stones fell in the road, Zhou Yue only felt extremely happy when he said this.
The second floor of the Agile Realm!
"Breakthrough?" a voice came.
Zhou Yue was stunned for a moment, and at the moment when he came out of this howl, the bald man Hu Feng, who was originally a hundred zhang away from him, was standing beside him at some point, and he couldn't see Hu Feng's expression clearly in the dark, but he could see the two ghostly eyes staring at his lower abdomen, dantian, and even passing through the dantian, casting his gaze on that light seed.
"It turns out that human beings actually cultivate like this......" Hufeng's tone revealed a trace of disbelief, as if he had discovered some incredible secret, he urgently shouted: "Boy, luck!"
Zhou Yue didn't dare to be disobedient, so he had to use the condensation qi, and a trace of heaven and earth aura was extracted into his heart, squeezed into a wisp of misty true qi, and then merged with the light seed.
The bald man was silent for a while, grabbed Zhou Yue, and flew out of the cave without saying a word, fortunately Zhou Yue closed his eyes in time, otherwise he would not be burned by the sunshine.
When Zhou Yue slowly opened his eyes, the mountain had already been found and could not be found, the oncoming wind blew Zhou Yue's cheeks painfully, and the cold air in the clouds gradually entered the body, Zhou Yue hurriedly transported the condensation energy, which barely dispelled the cold.
Speaking of which, this was the first time he was distracted in the air to observe the surroundings, and he couldn't help but look down, only to see that the trees on the ground shrunk into a little green, swaying up and down with the bumps of the wind, which suddenly made him feel dizzy, almost suffocating!
What's even worse is that the bald man fell suddenly, and a terrifying sense of weightlessness instantly eroded his mind, Zhou Yue gritted his teeth, the qi and blood in his body were almost rampant, his brain was in chaos, and the true qi in the dantian was about to move, and in an instant, the situation was extremely bad!
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly resounded in Zhou Yue's heart: "Concentrate, breathe!"
He shuddered, immediately took a deep breath and suppressed the unstable light seed, and then controlled the true qi to relax the qi and blood along the blood vessels, forcibly correcting the body that was like a mess back to its normal state!
The bald man glanced at him, didn't pause, and dragged Zhou Yue to the ground!
"Whew!"
The speed at which the two of them fell was extremely fast, and the feet of the wind even rubbed against the air to create a little spark, but fortunately, he also knew that a black gas was used to protect Zhou Yue, otherwise the second layer of the Spirit Realm would not be able to stop this ethereal fire!
"Boom!"
The bald man stepped directly on the ground with one foot, the whole earth trembled, and there was an overwhelming roar, Zhou Yue was dragged by him and shook it dozens of times, unloaded the residual strength, and put it on the ground vertically, after standing firmly, Zhou Yue staggered and walked two steps, like a drunken person, he shook his head, lay on the ground and retched for a while, and then looked at the bald man a little weakly.
Hufeng took Zhou Yue to an ancient tree, there was no trace of the place where he just landed, Zhou Yue took a closer look, and the landing site seemed to have been crushed by a huge force within a radius of dozens of zhang, and the whole area sank one layer, so it seemed that there was no trace of the landing point!
It's just that the ground that has fallen should be a perfect circle, but the side facing the ancient tree is missing a piece!
Zhou Yue raised his head and looked up at the towering giant tree that would take four or five people to surround it, the trunk was divided into four branches, and then divided into countless small branches, a little comparison, the small branches on this ancient tree were actually the thickness of the trunks of the surrounding small trees.
"Alas...... Friends of the wind, if you act like this again, I am afraid that the old man will not be able to survive for a few days. Zhou Yue was wondering why this bald man wanted to bring him here, but he heard an old voice sighing faintly, and the ancient tree in front of him shook for a while, turning into an old man in a long robe, looking like those old scholars who taught in the school in Woniu Town.
Zhou Yue was startled, and his heart was nervous, and then he thought that the bald man next to him was not a human, so he didn't make a sound, just followed the wind to see how he communicated with this tree demon.
"Don't be humble from Huai's seniors, this little movement of the younger generations can't hurt your old man. The bald man scratched his head, pulled a stone casually, and sat in front of the old man with a big knife, Zhou Yue looked helpless, standing or sitting, so he had to pestle behind Hufeng.
"Hmph, you're welcome. It seems that because of the changes in the plants, the old man's speech speed is very slow, and his time in just a few words is enough for the bald man to say a few words.
"What are you looking for me?"
"This Son is a human being. Hufeng pointed at Zhou Yue behind him, pulled him in front of him, and at the same time turned out a piece of jade slip in his hand and threw it to the old man of the tree demon, saying: "I look at the true qi in his body, and guess it is the inheritance of your grass and trees." ”
"Oh?" The old man of the tree demon raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice revealed a hint of surprise, he looked at Zhou Yue carefully, and said lightly: "This person has no woody ......"
Saying that, he held the piece of jade slip, but the old man frowned at the tea time, stretched out a hand and said to Zhou Yue: "This ...... Little friend, hold my hand with real energy. ”
When Zhou Yue heard this, he took a deep breath, and his condensation suddenly increased, and as soon as he grasped the dry and old wrinkled hand, he suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance, and his spirit was in a trance, as if he was fluttering.
A huge force flowed along his hand through his arm, down his shoulder and down to touch his heart, but Zhou Yue didn't notice it, he slowly fell asleep in the sweet fragrance in the air, the old man saw this and put him on the ground to lie flat, and then guided the power to Zhou Yue's dantian.
A radiant seed, although very small, is indeed such a shape, the old man can even see that the seed has cracked a little, and a shining young leaf sticks out slightly from the crack of the seed, thinking that it will soon grow strongly, and finally turn into a towering tree!
"How could this be?" the old man withdrew the power, but his face was full of doubts: "Why does his true qi not have the nature of wood, but like my natal true qi, it is in the form of grass and trees evolving?"
"I've always had a question. The bald man shook his head, and instead of answering, he asked: "Human beings only have a lifespan of more than 100 years, why is the cultivation speed so fast? If we and other demon cultivators want to transform into shapes, it will take hundreds of years for those who are descendants of divine blood such as the ancient phoenix and true dragon, and it will take tens of millions of years for ordinary enlightened people like you and me...... And people, from their so-called Spirit Realm to the Jindan Realm, are more than 100 years, and less than decades! Don't you think it's strange?"
The old man looked at Zhou Yue thoughtfully, and then snorted coldly at the bald man, and said, "So you arrested a teenager and wanted to see what their secret was?"
"I thought that this was a problem with the exercises practiced by human beings, and the cultivation methods were different between different exercises, and even the cultivation speed was not the same. Hufeng took out a bottle of wine from the storage bag, poured himself a glass and threw it at the old man. "Senior Lihuai, what cultivation methods do we have for demon cultivators? Even the cultivation speed basically depends on whether the environment is suitable or not. ”
He pointed at Zhou Yue and said, "Originally, I was still wondering why this kid's cultivation speed was so slow, far less than that of the True Dragon Gu Feng, even if I exhaled my true qi, it was also much better than him." Today, he broke through the so-called second layer of agility, and his cultivation actually improved a lot in an instant, while the cultivation of our demon cultivators increased steadily, and there had never been such a big jump. ”
The old man sighed, his ravine-ravine face was covered with gloom: "If you try, I won't stop you, but over the years, haven't there been any predecessors in my demon cultivation who have tried to figure out the secrets of human beings? Do you really want to be like them?"
Zhou Yue, who was lying on the ground, trembled, and was about to wake up, the bald man glanced at him and sighed deeply: "But I don't have time anymore......"
"Is that little doll named Nangong?" The old man of the tree demon smiled slightly, and his tone revealed a strange meaning: "You still call him Nangong Lao'er...... Which of you and I is not ten times his age?"
There was a hint of coldness in the bald man's words: "But he is what humans call a Shattered Destruction Realm monk! ”
The old man of the dryad was silent, his thoughts drifted somewhere, and after a long time, he came back to his senses and asked, "So you are not convinced?"
"I'm not convinced, my mind is not clear, I can't sit still. Hufeng grabbed Zhou Yue, waved his hand to say goodbye, and wanted to fly to the clouds. "So I'm going to find the secret of mankind, as humans say, know yourself and know your enemy, and you won't be defeated in a hundred battles. ”
