Chapter 17: The Golden Dragon Rushes and the Two Qi Clashes
"Ah~~~" Xiaolong let out a long sigh.
Li Mu looked at it expectantly, waiting for its next step.
"Roar~~~~~~" another long howl.
Li Mu secretly rolled his eyes.
"Ah~~~~~~h
"Senior ......" Li Mu couldn't help but speak, but before he could say the second sentence, he was interrupted by a loud roar.
Half an hour later.
The little dragon finally stopped howling inexplicably, and then it lowered its head and looked at Li Mu, who was sitting on the ground with a face full of grievances.
"Boy", the dragon finally spoke human words.
Li Mu was a spirit, the voice coming from his head was low and magnetic, it sounded extremely majestic, and the pronunciation was clear and standard, and there was no doubt that it was the authentic lingua franca of the human race.
Li Mu stood up, looked at the little dragon floating in the air, made an expression of disbelief, and then asked, "You...... Are you really a human speaker?"
The little dragon showed a look of disdain in his eyes, and continued to say in the lingua franca of the Terran race: "Just the language of the Terran race, Benlong will listen to you say a few words." ”
"Wait, Ben Long, are you really a dragon? Aren't the dragons flying high in the sky, traveling in the clouds and rain, why did you run into the Yuan Ling Bead?" Li Mu showed another expression of disbelief.
The little dragon didn't show any angry expression, but just said to Li Mu lightly in an old-fashioned tone: "Boy, you don't need to use any agitation, Benlong has lived longer than your ancestors." This little trick of yours, Ben Long can see through it at a glance. If you have anything you want to ask, just ask, the aura absorbed by Ben Long is almost unable to maintain its form. ”
Li Mu thought to himself, you don't have much time and howl indiscriminately, you have wasted so much time in vain, what a stupid dragon. However, he didn't show anything on his face, and asked directly, "What is the Yuan Lingzhu, and how did you get in?"
As if this question was making it feel very troublesome, the golden dragon showed a confused expression. It seemed to struggle in its heart for a long time, and after calming down, it said to Li Mu in a cold tone: "Let's change the question, I don't know what Yuan Lingzhu is, and as for the reason why I went in, I don't know myself." ”
Although Li Mu was very concerned about Yuan Lingzhu's origin, when he saw him answer, he could only ask helplessly: "Can you tell the origin and name of the kid's predecessor?"
Jin Long showed a painful expression on his face again, and after thinking for a long time, he said to Li Mu: "I only remember that my name is Jin Chongji, and I am a member of the Dragon Clan. All other key memories are gone. ”
Li Mu looked at him with some sympathy, and asked curiously, "What is the origin of that bird, and how can it compete with you?"
Jin Chongji's expression was a little strange: "I don't know what it is, but Benlong's intuition tells me that the bird is not simple, but it is still in its infancy, so I can persuade it to retreat, so you don't pay attention to it." If you encounter it in the future, avoid it from afar, and it won't take the initiative to trouble you. ”
Li Mu was depressed, but there was a clear expression on his face, and he said respectfully: "I see-dare to ask Senior Jin, is it the senior or the Yuan Lingzhu who helped me absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone?"
Jin Chongji seemed to disdain to deceive him, and replied truthfully: "It's Yuan Lingzhu, but it was prompted by me." ”
Li Mu rolled his eyes and said cautiously: "Thank you seniors for your help-I just saw ......"
Jin Chongji interrupted impatiently: "You human race is just not happy, you want to ask if I have absorbed seventy percent of the spiritual energy in the spirit stones you absorbed, right?"
Li Mu nodded helplessly.
Jin Chongji said: "Seventy percent of the aura you have absorbed has indeed been intercepted by me, which is to maintain the basic needs of my soul body. And if it weren't for my action, with your kid's qualifications, you wouldn't have thought about driving the Yuan Spirit Bead at all, let alone absorbing the aura so quickly. What, are you dissatisfied?"
Li Mu hurriedly shook his head, he knew that what this dragon said was reasonable, and he couldn't refute it at all. If it weren't for his help, with his qualifications, he wouldn't know when he would be able to cultivate enough True Qi to learn martial arts.
He said to Long with a sincere expression: "I also want to thank Senior Jin for his kindness and two life-saving graces, how dare you criticize your seniors." The younger generation was confused for a while, and they were offended. ”
Jin Chong waved his dragon claws and said generously: "This is not enough to offend me, I think you still have many doubts that I want to answer, but my time is running out." Let me ask you, would you like to make a pact with me?"
Li Mu thought for a while, and then replied: "Let the seniors command." ”
Jin Chong and the phantom floating in the air suddenly shook, and then it said in a weak tone: "If you are willing to believe me, go to the center of the Red Sand Plain, remove your clothes, and meditate on the ground for the night." If you can endure the pain, absorb the aura of a spirit stone, and then I will appear to you to discuss other things, and if you don't believe me, you don't have to do it, and you don't have to call me out again. After saying these words, it didn't leave Li Mu any room to react, so it turned into a golden light and disappeared into the Yuan Spirit Bead on Li Mu's chest.
Li Muran called his predecessor twice, but did not receive any response.
He sat on the ground a little inexplicably, thinking carefully about the meaning of Jin Chong's words.
The dragon first said that he would make an agreement with him, and then asked him to go to the center of Chishayuan to meditate for the night, and he would also remove his clothes and be naked**. You know, he had experienced the high temperature of the Chisha Plains before, not to mention his delicate hind buttocks after going out to clothes, that is, thick feet, standing on the Chisha Plains for half an hour, I'm afraid they will be roasted.
Although his True Qi is extremely strong, the protective effect of True Qi against this high temperature is very small, so the places where he can use True Qi are very limited.
But Li Mu listened to the unfinished meaning of his words, as if this was a test for him. If he can't complete or dare not accept this test, it's hard to say whether this dragon will continue to help him absorb aura in the future, at least he won't take the initiative to deal with him.
Although Li Mu has only been in the cultivation realm for a short time, he has already deeply understood the role of having some help from his predecessors. First of all, if He Qiu hadn't said good things for him, Lingmu wouldn't have deliberately taken him to the Mortal Disciple Trial, and if Lingmu hadn't given him the status of an official disciple, he wouldn't have been able to obtain such high-quality cultivation resources and so many spirit stones at his disposal.
For the mystery and power of this golden dragon, although he can't get a glimpse of it, he can also feel a little bit of it. Although his knowledge is shallow, he also understands that dragons are not at all something that this world can tolerate. Therefore, there is no doubt about the strength of this dragon.
Although it is not known why this dragon has fallen to such a state, it should not be able to do itself any harm at this time. On the contrary, if you strive for it yourself, you may still get guidance from it in your practice.
Li Mu thought so in his heart, but he had already made up his mind to complete Jin Chongji's requirements.
Now the question is, how can you hold on overnight.
If you rely solely on willpower, I'm afraid it's not realistic. But since Jin Chongji has made such a request, he should have considered his endurance, and he will never make such a request without reason, and there should be some tricks that can be used.
Since True Qi can't do a good job of insulating the extremely high temperatures of the Red Sand Plain, what about the Reiki, especially, the Water Aura?
When Li Mu thought of this, he almost immediately wanted to return to Chishayuan to experiment and confirm the thoughts in his heart.
However, he immediately thought that the true qi was in his meridians, and he could call it, but how should the water aura be controlled? This is indeed an unavoidable problem, and Li Mu hesitated again for a while.
It was almost midday, but it was almost noon.
Li Mu stood up and suddenly felt a little hungry in his belly.
Today, he was flustered by the strange bird's call, and consumed a lot of energy to calm his emotions, coupled with the continuous absorption of aura, the absorption of aura greatly exceeded the past, and it also consumed a lot of his energy and physical strength.
The spiritual qi absorbed by him was scattered in the large and small meridians in his body, and for a while, he didn't have the energy to convert it into true qi.
After Li Mu took off his shirt, he plunged into the water again and caught the fish.
I don't know why, in the river water where there were a lot of big fish in the past, today it is very rare, even some small fish and shrimp have been lost, Li Mu has been diving under the water for a long time, and there is no gain
Just as he was about to give up catching fish and go ashore to eat wild fruits, something happened that caught him off guard.
Li Mu was about three feet underwater at this time, and through the water, he could see the faint light of the sun. He searched for fish and shrimp and found nothing, and was about to swim to the surface and go ashore to trim.
But just as he was about to jump out of the water with his true qi, there was a sudden sharp pain in his chest and abdomen. The pain came without warning, and it was so severe that he almost lost consciousness and fainted in the water. If it weren't for Li Mu's previous torture, his body and consciousness had a certain resistance to the pain, I am afraid that he would have passed out in the water at this time, and there would be less luck.
Li Mu was dazed, barely moved his hands and feet, and struggled to swim out of the water at an extremely slow speed and return to the shore.
He lay on his back on the ground, gasping for air, and there were still bursts of sharp pain in the meridians of his body.
By this time, his consciousness had regained his consciousness and he had regained his normal ability to think. Although the pain from his body affected him, he quickly calmed down.
After clearing his thoughts and quietly thinking about the tea time for half a day, he finally figured out the reason for him in this realm: Xuanming Innate Mind Method.
It turns out that there is a very clear rule in this mental method: those who have not completely transformed the spiritual energy absorbed in the body into true qi cannot use true qi, otherwise the conflict between the two will bring serious consequences.
After thinking about this clearly, Li Mu couldn't help but scold himself for being confused, and even forgetting such a simple precept, which led to the current consequences.
At the same time, he was also faintly glad in his heart, fortunately, he didn't have much true qi this time, and it didn't cause a more violent conflict, otherwise I'm afraid he would already be a corpse at this time.
In fact, seriously speaking, it is no wonder that Li Mu was careless. After all, he was embarrassed by a bird earlier this morning, and then his head was swollen by a dragon, and then his stomach suddenly became hungry again - you must know that the body of a person in the innate realm is several times stronger than that of ordinary people, and the same is true for hunger. Therefore, at the strong request of his body, he almost immediately went down to the river to catch fish, and for the time being, he forgot about the commandment. It was only when he was careless that he put himself in danger.
