The next day.
Overcast clouds gathered in the sky, and mist-like autumn rain enveloped the surrounding area for hundreds of miles.
Gu Qing sat cross-legged on the futon in the courtyard. A layer of faint spiritual light washed over his body, blocking out the rain and fog. Perhaps he noticed a bit of the coolness brought by the autumn rain, and he opened his eyes.
"The Yiqi Pill has been completely dissolved. Most of the injuries in the internal organs have healed. The spiritual power in the Dantian has also recovered to about 60%." Gu Qing looked at himself, turned his hands into powdery dim sand, and casually Throw it on the ground.
Yiqi Pill, together with Qi-Building Pill, Fuyang Pill, Hundred Days Bigu Pill, Spirit-Building Pill, and Yingling Pill, are standard for monks in the early stages of Qi-refining. Because they are simple, easy to use, and low-priced, many monks in the middle stage of Qi-refining, I will also prepare some.
These are all lower-grade first-grade elixirs.
For example, the healing elixir that Gu Qing took the day before yesterday, the Qi-Yi Dan, is a elixir that specifically strengthens the Qi of the five internal organs and restores injuries to the internal organs. The Qi-Building elixir is a elixir that replenishes the monks' lost blood, energy, and essence.
"Injuries in the internal organs always recover faster. If you take another Qi-Yi Dan, the injuries will be fully recovered within two days. Even if you take a Baipi Dan, the internal injuries will be fully recovered today. But After all, it is caused by the imposition of elixirs, which is not beneficial to practice, and the elixirs are accumulated. If you take such elixirs in the future, the effectiveness will be weakened."
Gu Qing breathed out his thoughts, but without restraining his aura, he stood up and stretched his muscles.
The dim sand he held in his hand just now was water spiritual sand whose spiritual energy had been exhausted. When low-grade spiritual stones were mined, monks in the middle stage of Qi refining or above used their spiritual consciousness to crush the remaining scraps and process them. And out.
Spirit sand and spirit stones all come from spiritual veins.
The spiritual vein is where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers.
Even the first-level spiritual veins will stretch for hundreds of miles underground and contain a considerable amount of spiritual stone veins. These spiritual stone veins are interdependent with the spiritual veins, and a certain amount of spiritual stones can be mined every year. However, if the mining is too large, Over time, the spirit stone veins will be exhausted and no more spirit stones can be produced, and the spirit veins will also be affected.
In severe cases, the spiritual veins may even turn into useless veins, turning the area covered into a land of extraordinary spiritual power.
"There is not much spiritual sand left in the storage bag. We need to replenish some. Although this spiritual sand is not as convenient as the lower-grade spiritual stones to store, it is actually more useful than the lower-grade spiritual stones during cultivation."
Gu Qing took out the worn storage bag from his arms, poured spiritual power into it, checked it, and then tied it around his waist.
After wading through the weeds half as tall as a man, Gu Qing came to the abandoned house and looked at the stove that was familiar in his memory. It had become a bit strange due to the erosion of time. He did not move for a long time.
Pursing his lips, Gu Qing turned around and walked out of the abandoned house. After walking a hundred meters through the rain and fog, his expression suddenly moved and he looked to the left side of the yard behind him.
The early warning restrictions there were broken.
Soon, not only the restrictions on the left side of the courtyard, but also the several restrictions he had placed were shattered one after another with a popping sound.
"Are there any monks nearby?"
Gu Qing's eyes flashed slightly.
Early warning prohibition is a simple and effective method for monks in the early stage of Qi refining. When it is classified as a formation method, it will be broken due to the vibration of the Qi machine within a certain range.
…
A young man dressed in white, about fourteen or fifteen years old, was walking through the rain and fog.
The childish face that is not concealed at all is very delicate and delicate. At this moment, it is a bit uneasy. The cultivation level of the third level of Qi refining is not even half hidden. The vigorous Qi energy is almost as bright as a firefly in the dark.
Gu Qing, who came over silently, was slightly startled when he saw the young man.
The boy in white seemed to have noticed someone looking at him. He looked around in the rain and mist and saw a figure in green in the haze. He quickly channeled his spiritual power to his eyes and took a closer look.
With joy on his face, the young man in white ran forward without any defense.
"This uncle... er, fellow Taoist, is here to attend the Chihu gathering, too!" The young man asked impatiently as he didn't know how far he had walked, and his breath was a little weak.
"So what?"
Gu Qing remained calm, moved his steps, and subconsciously found a good shooting position.
He did know that Chihu in Huaining County was where a Cultivation Workshop City was located. He wanted to come to the Chihu Gathering that the young man in white mentioned, and that it was in the Cultivation Workshop City in Chihu.
"Ahem... I would like to ask Lichen, this fellow Taoist, if he is willing to go with me?"
The uneasy expression of the young man in white disappeared a lot, and he turned to look at Gu Qing expectantly. He looked like a young master from an aristocratic family who had just gone out for training. He almost had to write "I am the wronged" on his forehead. It was very... funny.
"Fellow Taoist Xiang, this is really a piece of Chicheng."
Gu Qing was quite interested. He looked at the expectant young man and stopped thinking about taking action.
Hearing the words 'Fellow Taoist', the young man in white suddenly became energetic, and the fatigue from the journey was thrown aside: "That's right, my ancestor said that when cultivating the Tao, you should have an innocent heart, otherwise it wouldn't be just for lust. puppet?"
"Your ancestor is really a master! Since my Taoist friend's surname is Xiang, could he be from the Xiang family in Jiujiang County?"
Gu Qing asked inadvertently, turned around and took a step forward.
"Fellow Taoist, have you noticed? Yes, I am the leader of the Xiang family. This trip is at the invitation of Fairy Mo to the Chihu monks' gathering! This monks' gathering will last for seven days. Tomorrow..."
Seeing this, the young man in white followed naturally and started talking like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
The two of them were talking while heading towards Chihu.
What Xiang Lichen said was very exciting, and Gu Qing also learned a lot of useful information, and was somewhat looking forward to this seven-day gathering of monks in Chihu.
For example, Gu Qing was very interested in the news about the barrier-breaking pill that the young man said.
Breaking through the fourth level of Qi refining in one month is not out of reach for Gu Qing, who has already perfected the third level of Qi refining. However, if there is absolute certainty, it is naturally impossible. But if there is a barrier-breaking pill , Jiang Zhen Dan and other elixirs, it is almost certain that he will break through within one month.
The Barrier-Breaking Pill is a first-grade, upper-grade pill, while the Jiangzhen Pill is a second-grade, mid-grade pill.
As the name suggests, the Barrier Breaking Pill is used by monks to break through realm barriers. When taken when breaking through a barrier, it can condense the monk's spiritual energy into one force, greatly increasing the chance of breaking through realm barriers.
As for the Jiangzhen Pill, it is even more magical. It can directly increase the cultivation of Qi Refining monks by one level!
However, Gu Qing has no hope of getting this True Crimson Pill.
Second-grade middle-level elixirs, such as Jiangzhen Dan, which has magical effects, are mostly fought over by monks in the late stage of Qi refining. With his current level of cultivation, getting involved would be like seeking death.
When Xiang Lichen talked about Jiang Zhen Dan, he kept smacking his lips, and there was a hint of longing in his words.
While we were on the road, an hour and a half passed. The rain and fog had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy.
When the two of them walked to a smooth official road, they met a group of Qi Refining monks riding one-horned horses, escorting more than a dozen carts of goods. The leader was a beautiful woman with an eighth level of Qi Refining cultivation.
Gu Qing and Xiang Lichen caught the attention of this group of monks. The leading one-horned spirit horse neighed. The beautiful woman at the eighth level of Qi Refining pulled the reins and looked at the two of them from a distance. Her red lips parted slightly:
"The two fellow Taoists over there must have also participated in the Chihu gathering, right? The Chihu gathering was very powerful and led to many evil cultivators. I wonder if you two would be willing to go with me? "
The soft voice came from far away, but it seemed to ring in his ears, making Xiang Lichen's face turn red.
"I...Xiao Xiu...Xiao Xiu Xiang Lichen is a leader of the younger generation of the Xiang family in Jiujiang. Well, this is fellow Taoist Gu whom Xiao Xiu met on the road. I am willing to go with you fellow Taoists!" Xiang Lichen stumbled back, But he forgot to inject spiritual energy, so when the sound reached the ears of the monks, it was no more than a mosquito buzzing.
