Four years is both short and long.
The herrings bite the water lilies, and the willow branches spread out.
Nan Xiao still remembers it fresh every night he attended the lecture at Kuhai Cliff.
Perhaps because of Zhu Tai and Liang Bo's favor for Nan Xiao, Bao Fei, Lin Feng and others were wary and did not dare to openly create difficulties.
As for their malicious smiles and contempt, Nan Xiao, who had always looked down upon them since childhood, had long been accustomed to them, and just thought those few people had facial muscle disorders and sudden eye diseases.
So Nan Xiao has lived a very stable life in the past four years.
There is no banquet in the world that never ends.
After Zhu Tai and Liang Bo return home, Nanxiao's peaceful days are coming to an end.
Nan Xiao doesn't feel afraid, but just feels a little troubled.
Putting away the dagger and hairpin, Nan Xiao locked the door of the house.
In the future, this place will be redistributed, and perhaps gods and couples will live there again.
But those have nothing to do with Nan Xiao.
After taking one last look, Nan Xiao picked up the bamboo tube and left.
Later, on the cliff of the bitter sea, the goldfish disappeared and the waves stopped forever.
Nan Xiao no longer followed the steps, but went back and forth between Mingquan and Shenqiao Cliff to listen to the mysterious magic.
Some people have been hired to take care of the trivial matters of gardening, refining medicine and cooking.
Nan Xiao sits in the bamboo house every day, practicing without any distractions.
Chen Zhuo, who was free because of the jade pendant, would send some ancient books from time to time. Sometimes he would even sit on a bamboo chair outside the house for a whole day, leisurely admiring the lotus, drinking tea, and listening to the clear spring water.
The vegetation is fresh and the wind is gentle.
The stream flows from the clear spring in the mountains, flows along the ditch, and falls into the pond behind the house, lingering with the fish in the pond.
On weekdays, Nan Xiao sits cross-legged on the futon, closing her eyes and recuperating.
When she is mentally exhausted, Nan Xiao will quietly read through various old books and picture albums.
Reading can make her calm and make her wiser and wiser.
At first glance, the vicissitudes of history, the mysterious formations, the profound Dao patterns, the obscure refining of medicine,...
But most of the time Nan Xiao just wanted to broaden his horizons without asking for a deeper understanding, so he changed books very quickly.
There are three rooms, one for living, one for storing medicinal herbs and pills, and the last one is gradually filled with books.
Baiyun Canggu, five years and a blink of an eye.
Nan Xiao is already sixteen years old.
Although she has not yet opened up the sea of suffering, after nine years of hard work and the assistance of Danwan, Nan Xiao has long been reborn.
Nan Xiao, who was originally sallow and skinny, is now icy and jade-skinned, looking graceful and strong.
Especially those pair of extremely flamboyant phoenix eyes, which are dark and bright, with a deep wave of light surging under them.
According to the martial arts secret books, Nan Xiao was full of vitality at this time and was already at the pinnacle of mortal warriors.
If you get rid of the shackles of the physical body, you can achieve great success and achieve the innate realm.
In the world of spiritual practice, digging through the sea of suffering is the opening of heaven.
Now, Nan Xiao has already planned his future, and is even more prepared to die if he fails.
Everything is ready, all that is left is the east wind.
This stock style is the essence of life.
————————————
After nine years of listening to sutras at Chuandaoya, Nan Xiao has already known that in the world of spiritual practice, life essence is extremely important to practitioners.
If you want to open and close the sea of suffering, in addition to your own vitality, you also need a huge amount of life essence.
Generally speaking, as long as you have good physical fitness and excellent Taoist understanding, practice is a matter of course, and life essence can greatly shorten this process.
In addition to the method of slowly extracting the essence of heaven and earth in places with sufficient spiritual veins, it can also be obtained from some rare elixirs, elixirs, marrow, monster inner elixirs, source stones and other objects.
————————————
Spiritual elixirs are common, and the Qingya Blessed Land itself exists to provide elixirs and reindeer for the Emerging Divine Dynasty.
It's a pity that only a few people in the entire Qingya Blessed Land can possess the elixir.
Nine years ago, Zilu, who was the seventh elder of Qingya Blessed Land at the time, obtained a leaf of century-old ginseng after using his authority and obtaining Yaolu's consent.
————————————
In the ancient books, the description of the precious marrow is unclear. There are sporadic records of dragon marrow in the stone, weak water in the sky, spiritual milk of the earth and other fairy juices and jade liquids that seem to belong to this category.
When Master Qingxuan once explained the history of the Yuhua Dynasty, he mentioned that besides the Lunhai Secret Realm, there were other secret realms.
Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Poles, Dragon Transformation, Immortal Platform...
Among them, cultivators rely heavily on the precious marrow when they are in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.
But Master Qingxuan doesn’t know more about it.
Qingya Blessed Land is located in a corner, and there are very few people who can be considered strong.
Elder Lu once told Chen Zhuo that in the huge Qingya Blessed Land, there can be at most ten cultivators who can achieve the perfection of the wheel and sea.
And those few people are mostly Taoist cultivators, and they are not as high as the Four Extremes.
————————————
As for the elixir, Nan Xiao has never seen it.
To become a pharmacist who can refine elixirs, in addition to solid theoretical knowledge, you also need precious ores, elixirs, firewood, and the talent to manipulate flames.
As far as Nan Xiao knew, among the thousands of people in the entire Qingya Blessed Land, there were only a handful of pharmacists who could refine elixirs.
Although Nan Xiao has three elixir prescriptions, she does not have the fire required to refine the elixir, nor does she have any elixir to extract and refine.
————————————
Unlike spiritual elixirs, inner elixirs are not artificially refined.
When monsters practice for a period of time, the orbs or alien bones that are born in their bodies are their inner elixirs.
There are many monsters in the southern wasteland, and the Shu Road where Qingya Blessed Land is located is adjacent to the south.
Some inner disciples choose to go to the south to kill monsters to complete the sect's trials. The inner elixir obtained from killing monsters can be kept for their own use or sold at a high price.
Nan Xiao once saw from a distance that the master of the Divine Bridge Realm on the cliff showed them a simple and unpretentious bead.
According to the description of the cultivator of Shenqiao, this bead came from a snake demon from the other side realm.
The snake demon inner elixir was a gift from his master.
At that time, his master had already completed his cultivation in the secret realm of the Wheel and Sea. He was standing on the other side and only had the last step to enter the secret realm of the Tao Palace.
But even the master who had completed the reincarnation took a day and a night to kill the snake demon in the other side realm.
The preacher, who always likes to show off with the inner elixir of snake demons from the other side, has a very serious tone when talking about the demon clan.
In the absence of powerful weapons, high-level skills, and divine mark arrays, it would be difficult for cultivators of the same realm to defeat demon cultivators unless they were extremely talented.
Therefore, if you go out to practice, you should not take it lightly even if you encounter a monster whose cultivation is weaker than yours.
————————————
Compared with the previous ones, "source" is even more rare.
According to records in ancient books from the ancient times, whenever the great road develops again and chaos begins to emerge, the original essence of heaven and earth is like a torrential flood, flooding the world.
Therefore, every low tide leaves many small puddles on the shore.
The life essence in these small puddles will gradually solidify over time, and the crystal water will become dim, eventually forming special crystals.
The inside of the crystal is the "source", and the outer layer is the stone skin.
Heaven and earth are in order, and all things are interdependent.
The stone skin can not only prevent the loss of essence, but also block the prying eyes of ordinary cultivators.
Some stone skins contain massive amounts of life essence inside. These life essences are extremely special, large in quantity but small in quality, and do not fall due to transpiration.
Once the outer stone skin is opened, it will float in mid-air, releasing a dazzling or bright light.
This type of source is called a divine source.
It is said that some puddles are not empty.
Anything that has a physical form can hide in the divine source and exist forever.
Jade, grass, trees, snakes, insects, scales, fish, birds and animals all fell into the stone by chance.
There were even some extremely terrifying beings who took the initiative to lie down in the puddles and lay dormant for a long time, quietly waiting for the moment when the stone skin broke open.
At that time, they will see the light of day again and rule the world again.
————————————
Precious elixirs, rare elixirs, rare marrow, monster inner elixirs, ancient divine sources...
All of them are extremely precious things that are really out of reach.
These are not the east winds Nanxiao is waiting for.
