Chapter 6: Spirits and the Valley

On the twentieth day after receiving the "Immortal Story", Miss Guan Qi relied on the three spirit stones at home to successfully nourish all the seventy-two qi veins and open up Zhou Tian, becoming the only local monk in the cyclamen town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After entering the first layer of the Qi cultivation period, she could absorb the aura of heaven and earth more quickly, and the sea of qi was also expanded. And every time the aura is mobilized and successfully runs for a week, the sea of qi will sink a little deeper. As long as the aura is sufficient, you can slowly improve the realm according to the realm cultivation method of the Qi Condensation Sutra.

Guan Fan still doesn't believe that his daughter has really become an immortal, and his daughter can only use the tips of her fingers to emit some spiritual light, and she can't wave her hand into a flame like an immortal, which is a little different from his imagination.

In order to meet her father's expectations, Miss Guan Qi is practicing the 'Fire Summoning Technique of the Five Elements Sutra' recorded in the "Immortal Chronicles", which is a spell that comes with the basic exercise of the Qi Condensing Sutra. According to the description in the book, as long as the monk has the fire spirit, he can learn it casually.

There are three layers in this Dharma Determination Realm, and after the first layer is cultivated, it can rub out a viscous fireball with substance, like a ball of burning tree oil, which can be attached to the target and burn after being thrown. Guan Qi asked the immortals to help him measure the talent of the spiritual root, which belongs to the ordinary talent of the three spiritual roots, and the five elements lack water and soil, but it is suitable for cultivating this fire-calling technique.

Guan Fan didn't beat gongs and drums to announce his daughter's cultivation everywhere, but he didn't let his subordinates keep it a secret. At this time, rumors spread in the town, and everyone said that the youngest daughter of Uncle Guan of the carriage shop had cultivated into a fairy, some were envious, some were curious, and some were jealous. People who have an enmity with Guan Fan are killed and don't want to believe it, thinking that this matter is nonsense. That kind of thing that lacks virtue and smokes can still raise immortals?

Guan Fan was very secretly cool about this reaction in the town, and he didn't come out to prove anything, so he made the message more and more evil. He planned to wait for his daughter to become stronger before announcing the truth to the people in the town, and then the Liu family would have to stand aside in the town.

Miss Guan Qi will practice spells in the courtyard, she pinched her fingers with her hands, and a fist-sized aura condensed in her chest. When she made a decision, the aura immediately shrank to the size of a walnut, which was very weak. At the same time, there was an extra fireball like a duck's egg in her hand.

"It's still so small......"

Miss Guan Qi threw the fireball into the water tank filled with water beside her, and the flame floated on the water and burned for a while before extinguishing it.

She was not the only one in the courtyard, Guan Fan's godson Guan Shiyi was beside her. It was the person who had ambushed Lin Yuan at the entrance of the town before. Although he is a godson, Guan Shiyi is seven years younger than Guan Fan. Guan Fan ordered him to protect his daughter, so that no enemy would do evil things to his growing immortal.

At this time, Guan Shiyi saw that Miss's immortal method was more proficient than before, and he applauded vigorously, laughing while drumming.

"Alright, stop giggling. Miss Guan Qi sighed, "The fireball is only so small, it can't be practiced." It would be nice if I had more aura in my body. ”

The aura that appeared in front of Miss Guan Qi before was all her aura, which was mobilized, and she could only throw out a fireball half the size. After the aura is depleted, it needs to be replenished with spirit stones, and it can be filled in a few seconds. You can also meditate to replenish, but you need to wait for half an hour.

"Did you have an eyebrow about you before?" Guan Qi asked Guan Shiyi, "Can you get another spirit stone?"

"I can't get it, but I can be sure that the Liu family has at least ten spirit stones, but they don't sell them at all. Guan Shiyi said this, remembering that he was scared away by Lin Yuan. He now knew that what he saw that day was only a spiritual light, and it hurt no one, "If I had been clever at the beginning, we would have at least one more here." If the young lady has that spirit stone to replenish the aura, even this small fireball can play a huge role in fighting horse thieves. ”

For several days, horse thieves who came to the town of cyclamen set up camp in the mountains and forests, harassing merchants and passers-by. Occasionally, he would tentatively attack the town, but he was beaten away by the family forces in the town.

"Miss, I can't be here with you tomorrow. Guan Shiyi reluctantly said: "Tomorrow I will also join the guards organized by the Liu family." Our town can't always be beaten passively, at least we must find out the location of the enemy's camp in the forest, and it is estimated that we will not be able to return for many days. ”

Guan Qicai doesn't care if Guan 11 comes back. In her opinion, instead of wasting manpower on that, the Liu family should sell the spirit stones cheaply to their own family for their own cultivation. When you are successful, no matter how many horse thieves come, you will give it for nothing!

Lin Yuan and Lu Xian plunged into the mountains after leaving the steamed bun shop. After a day of mountain road, the two came to the cave where Lin Ye was buried, and they have lived here for four days.

Early in the morning, Lin Yuan went out with a small bow on his back to hunt breakfast materials. After turning around, he dragged back a deer with an arrow in the head.

He had a finger-thick iron bar around his waist, which was his 'arrow'. As a magic weapon, the small bow can manipulate the arrow to automatically chase the enemy, and since there is no need to think about the hit, there is no need to make the arrow too light, and there is no need to have arrow feathers. Compared with regular arrows, such a sharpened iron bar is much easier to use.

Lin Yuan dissected the prey with the sword that killed his brother's enemy, while Lu Xian cultivated in the cave.

After only four days in the mountains, the cultivation that had regressed due to the failure of the bottleneck was practiced. Among them, there is the credit of the spirit stone, and it also entrusts the blessing of this cave.

The cave that Lin Yuan found turned out to be a 'spiritual vein' in a mountain that was not too big or small, and the spiritual energy was twice as rich as an ordinary mountain peak, and it was many times stronger than that in the town. They have also discovered now that the farther away from the people, the more aura there is in heaven and earth.

Since Lu Xian had touched the door of a breakthrough when she was cultivating before, she had been busy regaining the feeling she had felt at that time for the past few days. All the housework was handed over to Lin Yuan, and he was responsible for handling three meals a day.

The fried venison for breakfast was quickly ready, fried in deer fat, coated in ground pine nuts, and sprinkled with mushroom cubes and freshly sprouted winter bamboo shoots. Winter bamboo shoots are emerging, and this winter is not far away. In the past few days, they have accumulated leather goods by relying on the super hunting ability brought by the small bow, and they plan to spend the winter in this cave.

They are now very confident that when the ice and snow melt after this winter, the two of them will definitely be able to enter the first layer of the Qi cultivation period.

Lu Xian took the venison wrapped in leaves and ate it beautifully. Living in the mountains can be full, but the two of them came in a hurry, and they didn't even bring salt, which was a little lacking in taste.

After the meal, Lu Xian discussed with Lin Yuan, saying that he planned to go back to the town once.

"We had to buy some rice and salt, and some cutlery, because there were no leaves in the mountains in winter. I also want some pen and paper, and I have to write down the important things in the "Immortal Chronicles", especially the spells of the 'Five Elements Sutra', we will probably be able to cultivate soon." ”

They don't have to worry about the money to buy these things, they have hunted a lot of animals these days, and they can sell them for a few dollars. The small bow can only be fired once at a time, and then the aura of the two will be exhausted, and the kung fu of meditating in the spiritual veins of the cave can be fully filled. Even so, the two of them had amassed a dozen hides that had not had time to be tanned, as well as a lot of newly made bacon.

Lin Yuan also wanted to buy more iron bars in the town, and every time he shot an arrow, he was worried that he would lose the shot in his hand and not find it. You need to be prepared for something like this.

The two of them studied it a little and decided to go back with the hides now. On the way down, they passed by the boulder where the Qifan grass had been planted. In the past few days, Lu Xian has been helping to make up for his cultivation, and it is the first time he has come over.

"I want to go and see Qifan grass and have a long insight. She said.

Lin Yuan nodded, turned a corner and took her over.

Only the ears of Qifan grass have been picked, and the body should still grow there. When Lu Xian ran over to look, he only found that the upper end of a grass stem had been bitten off and swallowed by animals.

Lin Yuan shrugged his shoulders when he saw this, "It's been so long, it's strange that Qifan grass is not eaten,"

For humans, only grass spikes and grass seeds are valuable. For some animals, though, the whole grass is a treasure.

Lu Xian frowned and squatted in front of the broken grass, looking at the bitten stem. Obviously, the one who gnawed this grass was definitely a carnivore, and if it was a herbivore or omnivorous, it was estimated that even the grass roots would be arched out and eaten.

"Yes, grassroots. ”

She was going to take a look at this fairy grass, after all, every mortal dreams of it. Now that the upper part of the grass is gone, it is okay to look at the roots buried in the soil. Thinking of this, she reached out to dig, but as soon as she dug twice, something suddenly popped out of the soil and looked frightened.

"Bamboo rats!?"

Lin Yuan knew the little creature with its teeth and a fierce face. It's a burrowing rat that can be seen everywhere, but it seems to be a little different.

"How can there be horns on the head of a bamboo rat!" Lu Xian looked very carefully, very sure that this thing was a spirit. However, judging from the scary appearance and small size of this thing, there shouldn't be much force value.

The two of them entered the mountain this time to hunt and kill spirits to seize the crystal nucleus, hoping to enter the qi training period with their help. Now that I finally have my first goal, I can't let it go.

Lin Yuan pulled out an iron bar from his waist and put it on his bow, mobilized his aura to condense his chest, and aimed at the bamboo rat monster.

The little monster was furious, it was eating the rhizome of the elixir, but it was dug up. It bared its teeth, intending to attack the two men. Seeing that the other party felt a trace of danger after mobilizing the aura, he turned his head and ran.

Spirits are those animals that can harness aura, and most of them have natural powers. Some are good at using their talents to fight and hunt, and some are good at using their talents to hide and escape. Apparently the bamboo rat monster belonged to the latter. It just buries its head in the dirt and kicks its hind legs, and the dirt comes alive to open a passage to the ground for it to hide.

However, it seems that the bamboo rat monster cannot dive too deep underground, and only moves quickly under a very superficial layer of dirt to escape.

Seeing the monster burrowing into the ground, Lin Yuan shot an arrow without saying a word. The iron bar was shot towards the ground, but it flew in one direction close to the surface before hitting the ground.

"Chase!" Lin Yuan and Lu Xian ran behind the iron bar, chased for more than a hundred meters, and found that the iron bar was poked straight into the ground.

The two hurriedly took out their sundries to dig the ground, and after digging up, they found that the bamboo rat monster was nailed to a front leg with an iron bar, and it still looked very lively.

"Be careful! Don't get your fingers bitten. Lu Xian watched Lin Yuan harvest the prey.

The two of them thought they had caught the little thing, but they didn't expect the bamboo rat monster to suddenly bite off its nailed leg, and once again use its hind legs to jump far away and burrow underneath.

Lu Xian shouted, 'Change me', then took the bow and arrow, ran the aura, identified the target, and released the arrow. Lin Principle is to take out the spirit stone, charge the sea of qi, and prepare for the next arrow.

The iron bar flew out and continued to chase. This time the bamboo rat monster seemed to be clever and ran down the hill. The two of them had no choice but to follow the head-on slide down the hill. When they found the iron bar stuck in the ground again, and dug out the bamboo rat monster with an arrow in its tail, the little thing actually harmed itself again and escaped again.

"Damn, it's over!"

Lin Yuan really didn't have much to do here, the bamboo rat's teeth were too scary, and he didn't dare to catch it directly without protection, so he could only hope that this spirit would be killed by an arrow, but every time it was a little off. Fortunately, his aura had been replenished, so he released another arrow.

The third arrow hit the target perfectly, and after the two chased it, they found that the bamboo rat monster had been poked in the stomach, and there was no room to escape, and it was not far from death. But the problem is that the two of them have been chasing in the mountains and forests for so long and have been taken to a col by this little monster, and it seems that it is difficult to get out.

The hill that had just slid down was too steep for it to be impossible to return the way it came. Lin Yuan looked up at the sky and found the direction of Cyclamen Town, so he could only take Lu Xian to go around from the lowlands, and it turned out that this circle was an hour. The terrain in front of you is getting lower and lower, and there are no gentle slopes to climb or flat ground to be seen.

"Brother Lin Yuan, where are we running here?"

Lu Xian was unfamiliar with the mountains and forests, and felt a little uneasy. Lin Yuan comforted from the side: "It's okay, we seem to be going to the bottom." Wait until you enter the valley to find a water source and head upstream. ”

"Valley?" Lu Xian raised his hand and pointed in one direction, "There seems to be a gentle slope climbing down there." ”

The two of them took a few steps towards the gentle slope, and sure enough, they saw a valley not far below them. It's just that there are artificially cut plants everywhere, and there are traces of stampede, and it seems that a large army passed by here not long ago.

Lin Yuan frowned when he saw this, "Which direction are they going?" This place is too muddy to tell by looking at the footprints. ”

"Does it make a difference which way to go?"

"Absolutely. I can't run into them, who knows if they're good or bad. ”

The presence of a group of people at the bottom of this deep valley is already very good in itself.

Just as they hesitated, a beast roar sounded on the side of the valley, the sound was so loud that the two of them had never heard before, and the roaring spirit beast was probably much larger than the tiger. Lin Yuan, who heard this voice, walked very simply in the opposite direction of the roar. In his opinion, no matter what lies ahead, it is better than running into that loud monster.
