Back at his residence, Xu Wen began to check Lao Du's storage bag.
They were all low-level treasures that were not on the market, and there were only a few spiritual stones. Xu Wen didn't bother to look at them more, so he threw them all aside.
Soon, his face lit up, he picked up a piece of silk and opened it.
There is a hand-drawn map on it, but it is obviously drawn by two people. The lighter one is made of human or animal blood, and the thicker one is made of spiritual ink.
The upper left corner of the map turned into a first-order compact dagger.
Seeing this mark, Xu Wen suddenly felt happy.
Since acquiring the Blue Scale Sword, he has been searching for the last section of the sword.
However, he has entered the Xishan ruins many times and entered many secret realms, but there is no trace of the Blue Scale Sword at all.
The ruins of Xishan seem to be covered by some kind of law of cause and effect. Unless you encounter something by accident, it is difficult to find it if you look for it intentionally.
If you encounter it accidentally, you won't be able to avoid it even if you want to.
If you want to get the Blue Scale Sword, you must go through Fatty Wu and the ghost market casual cultivator who first got the Blue Scale Sword.
Fatty Wu's group of people are inexperienced and difficult to deal with. Compared with them, the casual cultivator in the ghost market must be much easier to deal with, but there has been no news.
In desperation, he could only try to make his idea come to Lao Du.
The Green Scale Sword first changed hands between the unknown casual cultivator and Liu Bu Shi. Lao Du, Liu Bu Shi's uncle, was probably involved.
Now it seems that it is really not bad.
Although I don't know how Lao Du obtained this map, he must have gone to the Xishan ruins to look for it.
But obviously, his luck was worse and he didn't find it.
With this map, he has a certain connection with the secret realm where the Blue Scale Sword appeared in the first section. In addition, the Blue Scale Sword is almost gathered together. Although it cannot be said that he will definitely be able to find it, the probability is definitely much higher.
This was Xu Wen's biggest purpose. As for Lao Du, he just crushed a nasty flea to death.
The day Li Xiuning came back was when he entered the Xishan ruins again.
Putting this map together with the map obtained from Nie Laojiu, he began to continue practicing Qing Huang Gong.
The ninth level of Qi refining is just the last step, but if he wants to step into the path of foundation building, he must first reach the peak of 90% Qi refining.
Different from the cultivation in other realms, although the cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refining also improves mana, pure mana is more important.
Unless you are cultivating the ultimate skill and a single spiritual root, during the process of cultivation, whether you take spiritual objects or elixirs, according to the principle of the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, there will always be some unconscious alien magic power born.
When practicing fighting skills, due to the small weight, the impact of these alien magic powers is minimal, so you don't need to pay attention to it at all.
However, during the foundation building process, these alien mana will rapidly grow under the infusion of a large amount of spiritual energy, thus affecting the foundation building process, and must be refined and removed before foundation building.
This is also the most troublesome part of the ninth level of Qi training, especially for non-single spiritual roots.
Every time you practice, you can remove some alien mana, but it will add some new alien mana, and the cycle goes on and on, seemingly endless.
The more and more complex the spiritual roots are, the greater and deeper the influence will be. This is especially true for the five spiritual roots.
This is also the reason why it is extremely difficult to successfully build the foundation of Five Spiritual Roots. On the one hand, it takes far longer than others to refine the alien magic power.
On the other hand, reasons such as time or patience will make the Five Spirit Root monks mistakenly believe that the little bit of alien mana that exists has no impact, and ultimately fail when building the foundation.
There is no skill in this step, it can only rely on water grinding, and things like Yuehua Pure Heart Silk are completely useless.
Fortunately, Qinghuang Kung is quite mysterious, and he rarely takes pills, so he doesn't have much alien magic power in his body.
After a few days of practicing, Xu Wen discovered that it would take him about five or six years to remove all the alien mana.
Although he no longer has the crazy speed of one level per year in the past, he is already much luckier than those Five Spiritual Roots that take nine years to refine their mana and more than ten years to achieve this.
One month later, Xu Wen, who was concentrating on practicing, suddenly opened his eyes, and the Zhiyuanmen token was sending out violent fluctuations one after another.
Opening the restriction, Li Xiuning's voice came out:
Uncle Zhang has arrived. Come to the inner city quickly to Yuandian.
My heart was shocked, I didn't expect Zhang Andao to come so quickly.
Xu Wen had never seen the real Jin Dan before, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he packed up and immediately ran to Zhiyuan Hall.
Zhiyuan Hall is the core building in the inner city of Qingfeng City and the hub of Qingfeng City's formation. There are two city lords stationed there all year round. Xu Wen only visited once when he became an outer disciple of Zhiyuan Sect.
After passing through the high-rise buildings surrounding the guard, the originally lively and noisy environment suddenly became much quieter. The people coming and going were all refreshed and refreshed, which was far from the mixed bag of fish and dragons in the outer city.
The surrounding environment is also magnificent and strives for excellence. No matter where it is, it is decorated and carved extremely beautifully, which is far better than the old and cluttered outer city.
Holding the outer disciple token, he easily passed through several restrictions and entered the tall Zhiyuan Hall.
At this time, a cold snort came, and the tyrannical momentum was immediately suppressed, but Xu Wen was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Turning around, he saw that it was Wan Zhongyun.
Xu Wen had already expected this scene.
When Master Jin Dan arrives, even if he is not on good terms with their lineage, he will definitely come to pay his respects.
Seeing the unconcealed anger in the other person's eyes, Xu Wen smiled faintly, stepped aside to make way, bowed and said:
"Uncle Wan, please!"
Seeing Xu Wenyun's calm demeanor, and thinking of the wealth that had been extorted away by the other party, Wan Zhongyun gritted his teeth and just wanted to slap Xu Wen to death.
But Zhang Andao is in the Zhiyuan Palace. Although he is still a hundred feet away, with the power of the golden elixir consciousness, every move here must be in the opponent's eyes.
Gritting his teeth secretly, he flicked his sleeves and strode towards Zhiyuan Palace, followed by several disciples following him.
There was only one person, a young man who looked somewhat similar to him, who deliberately stayed a few steps behind and stared at Xu Wen with unconcealed murderous intent in his eyes.
He must maintain respect for Wan Zhongyun, the basic rules of the world of cultivation at this time, but there is no need to grovel to this young man who is also at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Glancing at the other party lightly, Xu Wen said coldly:
"Did this senior brother use his eyes too much last night?"
"Wha...what?"
Wanlijin didn't realize what Xu asked meant, so he asked subconsciously.
"If you didn't use your eyes too much, why would your eyes be so red?"
With a cold taunt, Xu Wen ignored the other party and strode towards Zhiyuan Palace.
There was a rush of footsteps behind him, and Wanlijin finally understood Xu Wen's sarcasm and strode up to catch up.
Xu Wen turned slightly sideways and secretly locked the magic weapon.
He really didn't have much experience in dealing with dandy boys, so he didn't know if the other party would be crazy enough to do something in front of Jin Dan.
Fortunately, Wanlijin was not that unwise. He just hurriedly passed Xu Wen and whispered:
"Boy, just wait for me, I promise to make you spit out twice as much as you eat!"
