Chapter 16: Stealing the Fire Lotus
Ximen Guanxi is the embryo of Lingju, and then transplanted into the mother of the lotus incarnation, his physique can be called a half-spirit body, you can not eat grains, the spirit fruit, the elixir, the elixir as a meal, there are very few side effects, over time everyone is used to it.
Ordinary people can't eat these things as food, eating too much too cold will cause diarrhea, eating too much too hot will burn the brain, or the elixir with strong fire attributes will cause an explosion.
Xuanyue Zhenren of the Wood Courtyard is responsible for the cultivation of Xuantianmen spirit seedlings and spirit trees, and there are many large and small medicine gardens in the Nanxuan Mountains that radiate dozens of miles to both sides of the Cangming Peak, because the planting of flowers and trees should take into account the growth habits, such as the shade or the sun, the suitable altitude, air dryness and humidity, aura concentration, etc., all of which are exquisite, and some have very special growth environment requirements.
The most important medicine garden is located in the Red Leaf Valley six miles west of Cangming Peak, where most of the common spirit seedlings are planted. There is a magnificent building in the middle of the Red Leaf Valley called Baicaotang, which has more than 100 people under its jurisdiction, and is the pivotal institution of Xuantianmen's management of the medicine garden, and of course, it is also the main place for sorting and selecting spiritual seedlings after picking.
After selection, some of the spirit seedlings will be sent to the Green Leaf Valley five miles east of Cangming Peak for alchemy, and the Outer Dantang building complex of Xuantianmen is majestic and majestic, including dozens of miscellaneous servants, and the Outer Dantang is in charge of Chiyan Zhenren.
Ximen Guanxi's dantian is abnormal, unable to practice internal strength, when others practice, he has nothing to do, riding Xiaobai around the mountain peaks, carefree childhood spent in the green mountains and green waters, sitting on Xiaobai and flying into the sky like the third prince of Nezha.
Naughty child, who is only four years old, has already eaten all kinds of spirit fruits and elixirs, and his body is white and fat, his physique is stronger than that of ordinary children, and he has never been sick at four times.
Ximen Guanxi eats spirit fruit and spirit pill as rice, and there is a faint fragrance of herbs on his body, without the frankincense of his peers.
Ximen Guanxi grabbed Xiaobai's top melon skin and stood in front of the stone steps of the lacquered red giant wooden gate of the herbal medicine hall, the surrounding empty hills have been reclaimed into trapezoidal herb fields, the grass and trees are verdant, the exotic fruits are fragrant, the colorful butterflies are flying, and the water mist is steaming and pervasive, like a farmhouse as peaceful.
At the very end of the eye, a pool of paddy fields is shining golden in the morning light, and it is planted with golden grass. As the name suggests, the fruit is the size of a grain of rice and the color is like gold, and it is the spiritual fruit of the cultivation of the golden art.
Not far from Jinhe Field is planted with Belle fungus, which has the effect of beauty and beauty, and is the main material of Yangyan Dan. Yangyan Dan is the favorite of the beauty-loving lady and sells well in the market.
The Red Leaf Valley has been busy since dawn, and the quiet singing on the terraces of the low mountain accompanies the figure of the busy disciples, irrigating, fertilizing, picking, and even more spiritual seedlings need the blessing of the wood department to grow faster and better.
The picked herbs are neatly stacked in the bamboo basket, and there are large cranes holding the bamboo baskets and sending them to the Baicaotang for picking, which is a hot scene.
On a hill next to Belle fungus is planted is a five-petal fruit, a thumb-sized black five-petal fruit with sweet and sour juice, which has the miraculous effect of removing dust and dirt and washing the meridians.
On the hill opposite the five-petal fruit, there is a seemingly inconspicuous grass with a height of only two thumbs, the breeze blows the fragrance of grass, and the disciples of the planting operation have a sense of intoxication on their faces, as if they have drunk a small amount of rice wine, and it is the fragrance of this drunken fairy grass that makes people drunk.
Drunken Immortal Grass is the main ingredient for refining Tongtian Pill, which is an elixir that assists in cultivation, and has the miraculous effect of stimulating the sense of work. Cultivators comprehend the Heavenly Dao day after day in boredom, but the Heavenly Heart is unpredictable and the Heavenly Dao is difficult to comprehend, and it is difficult for most monks to make breakthroughs.
A pill of Tongtian Pill, a hundred times refreshed, self-confidence surged, the sense of power is particularly wonderful, and heaven and man are one. Tongtian Pill is an addictive spiritual pill, but legend has it that there are many great powers who practice by taking Tongtian Pill, and the effect is obvious.
This method of assisting cultivation through Wai Dan was despised by some serious cultivators, who reprimanded it as abandoning the basics and pulling out the seedlings to help them grow, which naturally ran counter to the way of heaven.
The monks of the Waidan Auxiliary Cultivation School often ridiculed each other, citing historical data, and calling the monks of the Serious Cultivation School pedantic gentlemen, sitting in a well and observing the sky, boasting of being pure and high, and interpreting the way of heaven in vain.
With drunken fairy grass and poppy as the main ingredients, the pill refined is called Tianyi Dan, and the medicinal properties are thousands of times that of Tongtian Dan. If Tongtian Dan is a controversial pill, Tianyi Dan is a pill that is strictly forbidden to be used in the cultivation realm, the medicinal properties are too strong, it is difficult to quit after addiction, and it is easy to cause demonic obstacles and go crazy, and the consequences are unimaginable.
In Xuantianmen, Tongtian Dan is a strictly controlled pill, whether it is planting, alchemy, or use, it must pass strict audits and detailed inscription records for reference.
In the distance, there are also a slope of Qingling flowers, Qingmai longan, fire dragon dates, and all kinds of common spirit grasses, spirit seedlings, and spirit trees swaying in the early morning mist.
In the middle of summer, it is strange that there are several hills in Momiji Valley that are covered with snow and air-conditioning, and these 'cold mountains' are not higher than the surrounding mountains. Originally, there was an ice crystal tree planted here, and the body of the tree overflowed with cold and produced ice crystal fruit the size of a lychee, and the white flesh tasted fresh and sweet, and melted in the mouth, which was a good supplement for cultivating the Xuanyin method.
There are also a few hills that are just the opposite, steaming like flaming mountains, and these hills have only one kind of tree planted on them, called the fire silver tree. Due to the heat emitted by the fire silver tree, the surrounding vegetation was reduced to ashes.
For safety reasons, a firebreak was built on the hill where the fire was planted to prevent the fire from spreading and causing fire. Of course, the Fire Silver Fruit is a good tonic for cultivating the Pure Yang Technique.
Ten miles west of the Red Leaf Valley, there is a forbidden land with a prescription circle of miles, and various forbidden enchantments wrap this forbidden land tightly, and even the wind cannot reveal a trace of it, and it is strictly forbidden for idle people to enter and exit.
The highly poisonous Pluto mushroom is grown here, and it is said that even immortals will inevitably die if they are poisoned. The Pluto mushroom mainly feeds on the bones of fallen immortals, and can also absorb various toxins, whether it is insect venom, corpse venom or erysipelas.
Of course, the Pluto mushroom can not only be used as a poison, but one of the toxins extracted from it is an indispensable catalyst for refining the best elixir.
Of course, Ximen Mingyue doesn't care about this, he is the carefree child king in the mountains and forests. Although there are many spiritual fruits in the herb garden, he will inevitably get tired of eating too much, and now he is facing the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and the thousand-year-old Shouwu has no appetite. As I get older, the courage of one person and one leopard has become bigger, and the scope of 'patrolling the mountain' has naturally become larger.
Ximen Guanxi secretly hid a small medicine hoe of Chiyan Zhenren behind his back, stood in front of the stone steps of the herb hall and watched Yiqing and Xiaobai chase and play with a smile, ran over and straddled the leopard's back and said, "Xiaobai, let's go play in the mountains!"
"I'm going too!" Yiqing hurriedly ran over and sat in front, now that she had overcome her fear of heights.
Xiaobai rose into the air in the warm morning glow, his body was extraordinarily powerful and elegant, carrying Ximen Guanxi and Yiqing to walk in the wind.
"Xiaobai, let's go eat some ice crystal fruit first!"
Xiaobai gently stopped on the snow-capped hill full of ice crystal trees, and the temperature here was like a harsh winter, and the bitter chill was blowing in his face.
Wearing shorts and a vest, Simon Guanxi jumped up and down on the ice crystal tree, quickly loading the picked fruits into his cloth pocket.
"Senior brother, hurry up!" Yiqing was wearing a green floral dress, shivering from the cold under the tree, and her upper and lower teeth were fighting and gurgling.
Ximen Guanxi's whole body was cold, but he was not afraid of the cold, grinned and bit an ice crystal fruit, his mouth was full of sweetness, and he jumped down from the tree and grabbed a handful of fruits and stuffed them to Yiqing.
'Huh' The two of them and a leopard are like elves in the morning breeze, flying deep into the mountains and forests.
The air began to warm up in the early morning, and a trace of heat rose from the earth, but Ximen Guanxi was extremely cool as he ate the ice crystal fruit.
Xiaobai likes to walk through the cliffs, and the green mountains and green waters speed through under his feet. In the distance, you can see the sun-facing scorched brown cliffs, with no grass growing and steaming hot. Halfway up the mountainside, the strange rocks protruded, and a seven-seeded fire lotus shrouded in fiery red light grew in the cracks of the stones.
This seven-seeded fire lotus is probably the only seedling that is extinct in heaven and earth, and can only grow in active volcanic craters. Chiyan Zhenren was overjoyed when he found out, blessed the anti-theft enchantment, and specially sent a black tiger to guard it.
Ximen Guanxi was attracted by the rich fragrance of the seven-seeded fire lotus, and he had long wanted to steal it for a tooth sacrifice, but today he finally stole Chiyan Zhenren's medicine hoe to dig, and only this medicine hoe can break through that layer of defense.
"Xiaobai, send me and Yiqing to the back mountain, and you go and lure the black tiger away. Simon Guanxi lay on his stomach in the grass in the distance, staring at the black tiger prostrate on the ground and napping.
Xiao Bai carefully made a big circle to send the two of them to the back of the mountain peak, and then flew to a mountain range in front of the black tiger, whining a few times across the cliff.
The black tiger raised his sleepy eyes, and when he saw Xiao Bai showing a cunning leopard smile, he was immediately overjoyed and jumped over.
The black tiger guards the seven-seeded fire lotus alone all the year round, and is naturally happy to see Xiaobai come to play.
Xiao Bai got up and fled into the distance, and the black tiger followed without hesitation, and soon passed through several mountain peaks, and walked far away to the edge of the sky and was out of sight.
'Crackle...... Crackling...... 'There was the sound of a thunderbolt hitting a stone in the distance, and Black Tiger and Xiaobai were competing to see who could spit the thunderbolt accurately and ruthlessly.
Seeing that Xiao Bai led away the black tiger, Ximen Guanxi revealed his figure from behind the rock, and quickly crawled along the cliff wall towards the seven-seeded fire lotus.
"Brother, be careful. Yiqing watched in horror as a rock slipped under Ximen Guanxi's feet, and it took a long time to fall to the bottom of a deep cliff.
"Rest assured. Simon Guanxi looked back with his trademark mischievous smile and grabbed the rock and took a few steps forward.
"Five-step, four-step, three-step......" approached the seven-seeded fire lotus step by step, and the rock was getting hotter and hotter, so hot that it was almost impossible to hold.
It was so hot that the skin of the hands was almost burnt. There was a sudden movement in the crack of the rock, and hot gas erupted. Ximen Guanxi couldn't stand it, and hurriedly crushed an ice crystal fruit, and a burst of coolness came from his hand.
Ximen Mingyue smashed a few more ice crystal fruits on the rocks, although the cold air of the ice crystal fruits suppressed the heat, but his two hands were full of slippery flesh, and the rocks were also slippery and could not be held, and it was difficult to fix his body on the cliff, and if he was not careful, he would fall to pieces, and the situation was even more dangerous.
"Whoa!" Ximen Guanxi accidentally stepped on the falling flesh, his feet slipped, and his body fell downward in an instant.
Yiqing exclaimed, her mouth opened into an "O" shape, and her pink little hands covered her eyes hard.
"Click, click. Simon Guanxi fluttered with both hands, and luckily caught the protruding rock peak, hanging like a monkey on the cliff wall. Looking down, I couldn't help but gasp.
"Senior brother, let's stop playing, let's go home. Yiqing began to cry.
"Don't worry, it'll be there soon. Ximen Guanxi slowly stabilized his body, cautiously approached, and inserted the medicine hoe, and the defensive light realm erupted with brilliant red light, but it did not block the entry of the medicine hoe, this is because the vitality fluctuations on the medicine hoe belong to the same resonance band as the defensive light realm.
Ximen Guanxi was overjoyed in his heart, waved his medicine hoe to cut off the lotus stem, and held a small bamboo basket in his other hand to catch the seven-seeded fire lotus.
Finally finished, Ximen Guanxi climbed up from the cliff, threw the bamboo basket casually, and lay on the ground on all fours, finally breathing a sigh of relief, and his heart was still beating freely.
Yiqing was worried about dying, wiping a pair of big watery and teary eyes, and seeing his look of success in doing bad things, she burst into tears and laughed again.
The refreshing spiritual fragrance of the seven-seeded fire lotus in the bamboo basket came to the nostrils, and the soul array was shocked when he heard it, and his whole body was full of strength.
Ximen Guanxi gasped and rested for a while, and then walked over to pick up the bamboo basket, the seven-seeded fire lotus red mangs were extraordinary, and the heat released actually scorched the bamboo strips.
Ximen Guanxi looked carefully and found that there were three red lotus seeds embedded in the lotus heart, instead of seven, which were not yet ripe.
"Senior sister, each of us has a lotus seed. Ximen Guanxi poured three lychee cores in his two hands, the size of steaming lotus seeds that had just been fished out of boiling water, and sucked the fruity fragrance greedily with saliva, and couldn't stop letting out a sigh of admiration.
"Don't, it will burn the stomach. Yiqing muttered strangely, she didn't want to take any chances.
"Okay, don't be greedy, I'll eat it!" Ximen Guanxi threw three lotus seeds into his mouth, and when he took a bite, the heat was rolling, as if he was holding a torch.
Ximen Guanxi was so hot that his eyes were full of tears, and he jumped and screamed, but he was reluctant to spit out the hard-won spiritual fruit. With an idea, he quickly peeled a few ice crystal fruits and threw them into his mouth, and the cold ice crystal fruit quickly neutralized the heat of the fire lotus seeds, chewed for a while, and swallowed a piece into his stomach.
Ximen Guanxi slapped his belly very comfortably, hiccuped lazily, and spat out a fiery red flame from his mouth.
Ximen Guanxi was startled, and opened his mouth to spit out a few mouthfuls of fire.
How did he know that the seven-seeded fire lotus was a top-grade spiritual fruit, and the seven-seeded fully cooked and eaten could make up for the cultivation of the fire element power of one jiazi, even if it was three half-ripe lotus seeds, it was not to mention that there was a fire element power equivalent to ten years of cultivation, and its continuous burst of heat energy could not be neutralized by a few ice crystal fruits. The cold air in the mouth neutralizes the heat, because the internal heat of the fire lotus seed has not yet exploded.
Soon, the fire element power of the fire lotus seeds in the stomach exploded, and the feeling was like a constantly burning torch in the body, and the hot qi spread along the meridians and bones.
There was smoke above Ximen Guanxi's head, two fires in his eyes, his skin was burned red, and he jumped up and down on the stone slab with his bare feet, and his hands kept scratching his body.
Even if you keep eating ice crystal fruit, you can't keep hazing to cool your body.
Yiqing hid in the distance in fright, and cried at a loss.
'Crackle...... Split...... 'Simon Guanxi's chest was like a firecracker exploding, his body twitched with the sound, and soon his whole body was on fire, and he hurriedly took off his burning shorts and vest and threw it aside.
'Crackling' firecracker-like explosions spread to the whole body, and Ximen Guanxi looked like his whole body was full ......of firecrackers at the same time, and the fire was shining all over his body, and every sound exploded into a blood mist, and the red skin was full of blood holes, looking like a skinned creature.
"Senior sister, don't be afraid, I'm fine!" Ximen Guanxi was naked, with fire in his eyes, swaying his little cock, his body twitched violently, his whole body was furious, and he was covered with blood in the firelight, and his face was hideous, as if he was a hellish ghost.
"Senior brother, please, don't come here, I'm afraid, I want to go home!" Yiqing trembled and ran into the distance, crying and letting out a trembling sound of fear.
"Well, quack. Don't be afraid!It's just a little hot, and it'll be fine soon!" Simon Guanxi's voice was like a rotten leaf, and the flames that erupted from his mouth were six feet long, burning the air so bent and deformed, and he endured severe pain all over his body.
"Please, don't come over anyway, I'll go back and call the master. Yiqing was stupid with fright, and her face was covered with tears.
The explosion of Ximen Guanxi's body like a firecracker lasted for a cup of tea, and there was no tendency to abate, if it weren't for the half-spirit body, it would have already exploded into a mess of rotten meat.
A figure in the far sky is flying into the sky!
"Senior Uncle Chiyan, hurry up and save Senior Brother!" Yiqing shouted loudly.
Chiyan Zhenren almost spit out the blood in his heart when he saw the severed seven-seeded fire lotus, and the fire yuan power of a jiazi was wasted.
He shook his head helplessly, and waved his hand to emit a soft blue light that wrapped Ximen Guanxi and fixed it in the air.
Ximen Guanxi crackled like a small explosive ball in the blue light ball, muttering to himself like a dream, and his head burned a little dizzy.
Red light surged around Chiyan Zhenren's body, and he waved his palm to shoot out a string of red balls of light the size of a goose egg, revolving around Ximen Guanxi. The flying red ball of light drained the heat energy from Ximen Guanxi's body, and the light explosion on his body had been reduced by half in the time of dozens of breaths.
Chiyan Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief, and shot out a series of uncertain divine powers, which were imprinted into his body, and Ximen Guanxi's body trembled, and the blue and red light on his face changed.
After dozens of breaths, Chiyan Zhenren stepped forward and slapped his right palm on his back.
Ximen Guanxi let out a few 'wow' and vomited out a few mouthfuls of hot red slime.
Chiyan Zhenren fed him a handful of heat-clearing and detoxification pills, and fed him a gourd of clear water.
Ximen Guanxi was still vomiting sour water, and his sanity had begun to wake up, and it seemed that there was no major problem.
"Fortunately, I found out that the medicine hoe was not there, so I arrived in time!" Chi Yan let out a long sigh of luck.
Xiaobai and the black tiger obediently hung their heads and lay on the edge of the cliff, cowardly like children who had done something wrong......
