Chapter 22: Borrow a hundred Soul Condensing Pills
Xu Jin didn't expect that this "exception" of the double pill would bring him trouble.
Li Renhua seemed to have a good face in front of Deacon Gou in the Danfang, and after Xu Jin made it clear on behalf of Xu Jin, Deacon Gou really ordered him to come down, and since then, Xu Jin went to the Danfang to get the pill, and he was not questioned again.
After solving the problem of the elixir, Xu Jin was able to cultivate with peace of mind, except for occasionally reading some classics with the I Ching Pavilion, he almost stayed at home in Pingshu, and had been hiding in the cave to practice all the time.
Seeing that the period of Dabi was approaching, Xu Jin did not dare to slack off at all.
The years have passed, and Xu Jin's cultivation is still very smooth.
At this time, Xu Jin was meditating, and suddenly a sound came through the light curtain at the entrance of the cave.
"Senior Brother Xu, foolish brother Xiao Wanqing come to worship. ”
Xu Jin was startled, and he hurriedly raised his hand, and the waist card flew back into his hand, and the light curtain at the entrance of the cave suddenly disappeared. Xu Jin got off the stone bed, came to the entrance of the cave, and bowed to Xiao Wanqing: "Junior brother has seen Senior Brother Xiao." ”
"Hehe, can the junior brother allow the foolish brother to enter the cave for a while?"
Xiao Wanqing smiled, it seemed that he and Xu Jin had a deep friendship.
In fact, since Xu Jin entered the Nine Shadows Sect, he rarely interacted with his peers, and between him and Xiao Wanqing, there was only a two-sided relationship.
Xu Jin thought that Yang Tianhong came out of retreat and asked Xiao Wanqing to summon him.
Listening to the meaning of Xiao Wanqing's words, it is not so.
"Senior Brother Xiao is here, and Peng is shining...... Senior brother, please!"
Xu Jin didn't hesitate much, and immediately extended the guest in.
Xiao Wanqing laughed and strode into Xu Jin's cave mansion, and the two sat down in front of the stone table.
Xu Jin said politely: "I don't know what the senior brother has to teach when the light comes today, and the junior brother listens to it." ”
"Hehe, the junior brother is polite, and he doesn't dare to give advice. I heard that the junior brother has achieved success in cultivation and has made rapid progress, and in just two years, he has already broken through to the third-order realm. ”
Xiao Wanqing said with a smile.
This Xiao Wanqing looks like he is in his twenties, but he speaks very old-fashioned. This is also normal, in the netherworld, it is impossible to determine the age by appearance.
Xu Jin hurriedly said: "Senior brother praised it. The younger brother was born foolish, how could he dare to be a senior brother to congratulate him? The slight improvement in cultivation is all due to the good teaching of his teacher and the support of his senior brothers. ”
"Senior brother doesn't have to be humble, everyone says that junior brother is the fastest cultivating genius in our Nine Shadows Sect in the past twenty years. ”
Xu Jin was thankful again.
"Don't hide it from my junior brother and say that the foolish brother came to the door today because he asked his junior brother for something. ”
The two exchanged a few words, and Xiao Wanqing changed his words and cut to the point.
"I don't know what the senior brother commands, as long as the junior brother can do it, he will not dare to refuse. ”
"Good. The junior brother is really a happy person, and the foolish brother has thanked him in advance. It's not a big deal, for others, it may be a little difficult, in the eyes of the junior brother, it's just a gesture, haha......"
Xiao Wanqing snorted, to put it mildly.
Xu Jin was vigilant in his heart.
Xiao Wanqing started far earlier than him, and his cultivation was far above him. Xu Jin's divine sense swept over Xiao Wanqing's body, and he could feel the coercive aura of that high-level cultivator, Xiao Wanqing's cultivation should have reached the fifth order or above in the soul condensation stage.
After more than two years of cultivation, coupled with reading the classics of the I Ching Pavilion, Xu Jin has some understanding of the difficulty of cultivating the truth. As long as you have a spiritual vein, you have the basic conditions for cultivating the truth. It's not difficult to get started. But the further back you go, the more difficult it becomes. Taking himself as an example, it took more than two months to practice the first layer of the Nine Secret Techniques, and another two months to practice the first layer of the Soul Breaking Slash, almost five months before and after, to reach the first-order Great Perfection realm of the Soul Condensation Period and step into the second-order cultivation. The time to reach the second-order Great Perfection realm of the Soul Condensation Stage was far longer than that of the first-order, and it took almost eight months to break through to the third-order. Now that a year has passed, he has not yet reached the third-order Great Perfection realm, and it is estimated that it will be at least two months or so before he can hope to break through the bottleneck and enter the fourth-order realm.
If he continued like this, if he wanted to reach the Great Perfection Realm of the tenth order of the Soul Condensation Period, it would take at least twenty or thirty years. Of course, for the Netherworld Yin Soul Cultivator who had an extremely long lifespan, this time was completely out of the question.
This is still a relatively optimistic estimate.
As far as Xu Jin knew, it would take more than two years to reach the third-order Great Perfection realm of the Soul Condensation Period, and according to the classics, for hundreds of years, the Nine Shadows Sect had never set a precedent. Xiao Wanqing said that he was a cultivation wizard, not flattery.
If it is a cultivator who is not very talented, he may not be able to advance an inch after cultivating to the fifth or sixth order of the Soul Condensation Period. No matter how hard you try, it's useless. Among the hundred Soul Condensation Stage cultivators, I don't know if there is one person who can successfully break through this realm and enter the Soul Training Period.
Xiao Wanqing was able to practice to the fifth order of the Soul Condensation Stage, and he had stayed in the Nine Shadows Sect for more than ten years.
What could he do for Xu Jin to help?
Except for the cultivation and entry into the realm a little faster, Xu Jin is basically a "rookie".
"Senior brother, please speak clearly!"
Xu Jin said cautiously.
"Senior brother, Uncle Li Renhua is really very kind to my junior brother, and Uncle Gou asked you for a double dose of pills, tsk...... This is something that has never been done before in our Nine Shadows Sect. Even if he is a senior brother of Qingyun, he has never had this kind of opportunity. ”
Xiao Wanqing was still smiling, but a flash of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
The so-called Senior Brother Qingyun, Xu Jin knew, referring to Tan Qingyun, the first person among the disciples of the Nine Shadows Sect's Soul Condensation Period. The name is the disciple of Elder Meng in the outer hall, but in fact, many times it is Elder Meng himself who is instructing. This person is the same as Xu Jin, he is a genius in cultivation, he enters the realm quickly, leaving his fellow disciples far behind, ten years ago, he participated in the big competition, and became the only surviving disciple of the Nine Shadows Sect. It is said that in the last big competition, the Nine Shadows Sect was actually exhausted, and none of the disciples were able to come out of the land of Xuanyin.
Tan Qingyun has now cultivated to the tenth level of the Soul Condensation Period, and it is possible to break through the bottleneck and step into the Soul Training Stage at any time. Therefore, although he is only a disciple of the Soul Condensation Period, in the eyes of ordinary junior brothers and sisters, he is really no different from the senior deacon of the Soul Training Period.
Xiao Wanqing suddenly lifted such a cow out, and there was a hint that Tan Qingyun was not as good as Xu Jin, which made Xu Jin more vigilant, and hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Xiao's words, I really want to kill the little brother." How can the junior brother dare to compete with Senior Brother Qingyun?"
"Hehe, Senior Brother Xu, the cultivation realm does not focus on seniority, only on strength. One day, as long as you can surpass Senior Brother Qingyun, the name of our Great Disciple of the Nine Shadows Sect will be given to you. ”
Xiao Wanqing kept saying that he couldn't leave Tan Qingyun, and forcibly pulled Xu Jin up to "belittle" Tan Qingyun, and his intentions were not sinister.
Xu Jin Zhengse said: "Senior Brother Xiao must not say such words again, the junior brother will never be able to bear it." What does the senior brother command, but please say it clearly. ”
Because Xiao Wanqing is so "nonsense", if it is spread out with oil and vinegar, Xu Jin will be in big trouble. Tan Qingyun really wanted to use this to provoke trouble from Xu Jin, but he couldn't resist it no matter what. Although the disciples of the Nine Shadows Sect forbade each other to kill each other, if Tan Qingyun wanted to make him uncomfortable, there were many ways.
"Senior brother is also cautious, in this secret room, who can overhear our words...... Since my junior brother is refreshing, I don't hide it. The foolish brother came here to borrow some soul condensing pills from his junior brother. ”
Xiao Wanqing said, staring at Xu Jin with a glittering gaze.
Xu Jin was secretly taken aback, and asked in a deep voice, "How much does Senior Brother want to borrow?"
"One hundred!"
Xiao Wanqing was not polite, raised his index finger, and said without hesitation.
Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
His cultivation progressed very quickly, but it had not yet reached the level of being twice as fast as his peers, and the double pill that Li Renhua had asked for him was indeed slightly surplus. However, Xu Jin's soul body is far from an unusual ghost. There is a limit for ordinary Yin Souls to take the Soul Condensing Pill, and there is also a limit for monks, and when it reaches this limit, no matter how much Soul Condensing Pill is taken, it will not help. But Xu Jin does not have this limitation, it seems that his soul body is a bottomless pit, no matter when, as long as he takes the Soul Condensing Pill, it can always play some role. Therefore, Xu Jin kept some back hands, but at most, he kept more than a dozen pills. Xiao Wanqing opened his mouth to say that it was a hundred, so how could he take it?
Moreover, a hundred Soul Condensing Pills is definitely a large amount, and it is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. Don't say that Xiao Wanqing doesn't have much friendship with him, even if he has a deep friendship, Xu Jin will never agree.
As for Xiao Wanqing's "borrowing", everyone knows that it is just a pretext, and he will definitely not pay it back, and he can't afford to pay it back.
Rao was like this, Xu Jin did not immediately refuse, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know what Senior Brother wants so many Soul Condensing Pills for?"
It is conceivable that Xiao Wanqing is by no means for the purpose of practicing. If it was true that the cultivation was progressing quickly, Xiao Wanqing could directly explain the truth to Yang Tianhong and ask for more pills. For promising disciples, the sect will generally focus on cultivating.
It's just this matter, but you can't talk nonsense, how is the progress of the disciple's cultivation, how can he hide it from Yang Tianhong's investigation?
Xiao Wanqing smiled and said, "Don't hide it from my junior brother, the Fang Market in Sanssouci Valley is about to open, and Brother Fool wants to try his luck and see if he can get some suitable pills and talismans...... Sanssouci Gufang City, junior brother has heard of it, right?"
The so-called Sanssouci Gufang City, Xu Jin has also seen relevant records in the classics. However, Xu Jin still shook his head and said, "Please forgive the little brother for being lonely and unheard, but I haven't heard of this market. ”
Xiao Wanqing glanced at him, as if he didn't believe it, although Xu Jin cultivated very diligently, it was impossible for him to be ignorant of the outside world. However, Xiao Wanqing did not expose it, but explained a few words to Xu Jin, and said: "Sanssouci Valley Fang City is where monks trade with each other, and it is in Sanssouci Valley more than two hundred miles east of our Nine Secluded Sect. It is held every two years, and the monks in the vicinity can go to trade. Is it intentional?"
