Chapter 45: Ingenuity
Just as Zhang Fan left the secret realm, in the hall of the head of the Beiming faction, a red light fell to the ground. A pale-faced, man-clad man fell to the ground with a "bang". Immediately, a beautiful woman came out of the apse, and when the visitor saw this scene, she hurriedly said: "Senior brother in charge, what's wrong with you? Why did you only go out for more than ten days, and you became like this? Who chased and killed you?" Murong Jing hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no one." I was just being chased and killed by a three-grade spirit beast. ”
The woman asked, "Senior brother, why is your soul so weak? Did you meet a powerful ghost?" Why don't I call the four elders of Beiming?" Murong Jing hurriedly said, "Lingyue, don't go." I'll be able to recover it. As long as you send a message to the elders in the sect, it will say that the Xuanming True Water has been born. Lingyue was surprised: "Senior brother, what do you mean by this, you went to the secret realm!"
Murong Jing shouted: "When am I going to the secret realm? You just have to do what I say! I'm going to retreat, don't bother me!" Lingyue said angrily: "Senior brother, how can you treat me like this?" Murong Jing was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said weakly: "Senior sister, I won't be able to recover any longer." Lingyue exclaimed, "Really?" However, Murong Jing had already entered His Highness's secret room.
Ling Yue looked at the closed jade door, her face showed a look of disappointment, and she sighed: "Senior brother, am I not as good as them? I have paid so much for you, but you have been cold to me every time. Lingyue shook her head, her eyes were red, she looked at Shimen for a long time, and said, "Senior brother, what is the use of what you have done so much?" After speaking, he silently left the main hall.
In the small hall of Youyan Island, Zhang Fan sat cross-legged in the hall and cultivated silently. The surrounding aura sank into his body. On the bed behind him, Jing Yi slept soundly, and the entire small hall was shrouded in a cool aura.
Over time. Zhang Fan's pale face gradually became ruddy, and the scars on the skin around him fell off one by one, leaving only unkempt hair and ragged clothes.
I don't know how long it took, with a breath of turbid breath exhaled, Zhang Fan opened his eyes slightly, looked at the familiar hall around him, and felt that these months had passed. It was like a lifetime away, but after a while, a faint smile appeared on his face. Secretly said: "Thanks to the black sword this time, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to come back." It's a pity that its spiritual power and spiritual power are too much to recover, and I don't know when it will wake up next time. ”
"Haw, chirp, chirp, chirp......" A yellow shadow rushed out of Zhang Fan's body, lying beside Zhang Fan and screaming. Zhang Fan smiled lightly when he saw this. Consciousness moved. Take out seven or eight spirit beast corpses. The golden scales screamed a few times, their mouths expanded, and they washed the beast corpse in it at once, and then ran to the side. Zhang Fan looked at the golden scales and said secretly: "Hey, it's a pity. It was too young to communicate directly with me, or it wouldn't be hungry all the time. Perhaps spirit animals also feed on the aura of heaven and earth. Second-grade spirit beasts are immortal from starvation. After all, the monks don't have to eat during the foundation building period. ”
"Hmm...... Brother...... Be careful!" Jingyi's murmur resounded in the hall. Hearing this, Zhang Fan hurriedly got up and ran back, and came to the side of the bed in a blink of an eye. Jingyi has been asleep for a long time. His face was flushed, and his forehead was slightly sweaty. Zhang Fan said secretly: "The dragon blood fruit is really extraordinary, Jing Yi only ate three of them, and she completely recovered." It's a pity that only fifteen of the thirty-six dragon blood fruits I got are now left. Lingyun Fairy is my guide, not only saved me, but also took care of me for a whole year, why should I give her some. It's a pity that this dragon blood fruit is not only helpful for cultivation, but also a healing holy product, I ...... Well, it looks like I can't afford to delay, I'll have to find a time to visit her. ”
"Senior brother, where are we?" Jing Yi opened her eyes, looked at the unfamiliar environment around her, and then looked at the senior brother waiting next to her, and asked softly. Zhang Fan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Jingyi, you are awake." This is my cave mansion, what do you want to eat, I'll make it for you?" Jing Yi smiled shyly when she heard this, and immediately got up from the bed, suddenly, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and peach blossoms suddenly appeared on her face, and she hurriedly said: "Senior brother, you go out quickly!" Zhang Fan smiled slightly when he saw this, walked out of the bedroom, and came to the hall.
He summoned a ding, the spiritual flame was released, the colorful glow flashed, and he took out a crab from the storage ring and grilled it. After a while, a ding of barbecue meat was listed in the hall, and then he cooked some fragrant tea, took out some spirit fruit and spirit wine, and put it on the jade table.
Jing Yi came out of the bedroom and asked softly, "Senior brother, are you cooking! Aren't you already in the valley?" Zhang Fan smiled: "It's okay, this is a second-grade spiritual thing, come and eat." Jing Yi smiled: "Thank you, senior brother." So saying, he came to the table. Then the two of them began to eat and drink.
When Zhang Fan was drinking, on Lingyue Island, Leng Yue and Lingyue were tasting fruit and tea at night. Ling Yue looked at Leng Yue and said with a smile: "Apprentice, you have been under my sect for more than a year, right?" Leng Yue said softly: "Yes, master, the apprentice has been cultivating for one year, three months and nine days. Lingyue said: "Yes, you can cultivate to the twelfth level of Qi cultivation in just over a year, which is rare among the five major sects of Shenzhou." However, you also know that it only takes about ten years for ordinary elites to cultivate to the twelfth layer of Qi training, but it takes twenty, thirty, or even a lifetime to cultivate from the twelfth layer of Qi cultivation to the foundation building period. Most of the Qi cultivation period cultivators died before the foundation was built, and few of them died because of the end of their lifespan, and most of them were assassinated by others or became the womb of spirit beasts. This is not ridiculous. ”
Leng Yue said: "Thank you for the master's teaching, if it weren't for the master's teaching and countless spirit stone pills, how could the apprentice be able to cultivate to the twelfth level of qi cultivation in less than two years?" Lingyue smiled: "Apprentice, a cultivator in the Qi cultivation period cannot use divine sense, he can only be regarded as a more powerful martial artist, and in front of the foundation building period cultivator, there is no resistance at all." Do you know that once the monk of the foundation building period has a complete divine sense, he can fly with a sword, gain insight into Zhou Tian, and know everything in his chest. You are the most potential genius of my Beiming Sect, and you may become the figure of Jindan Ancestor in the future. It is good to cultivate during the Qi cultivation period, as long as you continue to absorb and gather spiritual energy. However, this is not the case with the cultivation of monks in the foundation building period. If a foundation building monk does not have a strong divine sense, he will not be able to control his huge True Element, and he will not be able to effectively use these True Elements to kill and defend enemies. However, the strength of a monk's divine sense depends on the accumulation of Qi cultivation period. Therefore, I have sent countless monks who have perfected their qi cultivation to go out to practice or do penance in the caves, and they will not mix up miscellaneous things at will. For the sake of the teacher, since you have worshiped us, your cultivation has been making great progress, but you lack tempering, and I am worried that you will suffer in the future. ”
Leng Yue listened to the master's words, a little confused, and didn't understand what the master wanted to say, and asked: "Master, do you want to ask me to go out to practice? Then when the secret realm opened a month ago, why did you stop me from going to the secret realm for trial?" Ling Yue smiled: "Apprentice, every time the secret realm is opened, there is a beast tide explosion, and there are many foundation building period monks in the secret realm, in case someone else knows about your situation and wants to kill you, how can we rescue you immediately?"
Leng Yue said: "Master, I have never been afraid of death, let alone a foundation building period monk or any beast tide. Since the master said that it is necessary to practice, then the apprentice will go out of the island tomorrow to practice. Lingyue smiled and said, "Apprentice, how can a teacher not let you go through the training in order to let you improve your cultivation? The reason why I don't let you go to the Xuanming Secret Realm is because there is a treasure in my sect that is called Xuanming True Water. It can help monks wash the scriptures and cut the marrow, and help monks cultivate their divine sense, which is ten million times stronger than what they have obtained through training. ”
Leng Yue said: "Master, don't you know that the Xuanming True Water is only stored in the hands of the Mingtian Ancestor, and the quantity is not much. I'm just a small Qi cultivation period cultivator, even if the Heavenly Posture is outstanding, how can I get into the eyes of the Jindan Cultivator?" Ling Yue smiled: "This time is different. I heard that Zhang Fan went to the Xuanming Secret Realm this time and obtained a large amount of Xuanming True Water, and his cultivation was directly from the fifth layer of Qi cultivation to the early stage of foundation building. You have a good relationship with him, as long as you ask him, he will not refuse to give it. As long as you get the Xuanming True Water, you will definitely be able to build a foundation, and the probability of advancing to the Golden Pill Realm in the future will increase by thirty percent!"
When Leng Yue heard this, she was speechless in surprise. Lingyue smiled: "This is your chance, you must not miss it! Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Leng Yue came back to her senses, and was embarrassed: "But, but I ......" Ling Yue smiled: "Disciple, why are you jealous of a woman who is in the Qi cultivation period? As long as you cultivate to the foundation building period, how dare the Qi cultivation cultivators compete with you?" Leng Yue nodded and said, "That...... Well, I'll try my best, I hope Zhang Fan won't be angry with me. Lingyue instructed: "Disciple, you go and come back quickly." You must get the Xuanming True Water, otherwise you will be stagnant for decades during the Qi cultivation period, and Zhang Fan may have already attained the Dan. ”
Leng Yue said: "Master don't worry, I will definitely get the Xuanming True Water." With that, he rode away with the wind. Seeing this, Lingyue smiled coquettishly: "Hmph! Murong Jing's dog thief was originally injured when he went to the secret realm to compete for the Xuanming True Water, and he was unstable, and he may not be able to condense the Golden Pill in this life! It's just that I didn't expect him to want to use me before he died? When the time comes, what is Murong Jing, I, Lingyue, am also a dignified Jindan ancestor. On the land of Shenzhou, who else is my opponent besides the old monster of Mingtian? I have prepared a spirit stone for two hundred years, the spirit pill and the virgin Yuan Yin, which will definitely allow me to break through the golden pill stage in one fell swoop. When the Yuan Infant is completed, I can leave this barren place of spiritual energy and go to the land of Kyushu to continue to search for the secret method of becoming an immortal. As she spoke, a look of shame on her face that did not match her age, and then a look of decline appeared on her delicate face.
Lingyue sighed leisurely: "Since I was born, I have been supervised by my father to cultivate, and now more than two hundred years have passed, as soon as my mother went out, I never came back, my father is busy with retreat and cultivation every day, impacting the Yuanying Dao, I am alone, silently cultivating for so many years, and my few friends have left me one by one, I don't know what will happen to me in the future......?
