Relics and ruins, where the Xianhe faction is stationed.
Deep in the small valley, there is a cave.
The hole here is more than two feet thick, and the inner corridor stretches sideways underground. Its depth is unknown.
In the underground tunnel.
Gu Qing, who was dressed in black clothes and black boots, with long hair like a waterfall, followed a white-haired senior brother who was in the late stage of Qi Refining and walked down the steps made of bluestones.
As they move forward, the spiritual energy nearby becomes more intense.
Two quarters of an hour later, Gu Qing sensed that the spiritual energy nearby had reached the level of a cave built on top of third-level spiritual veins.
The two of them paused for a moment.
In front is a stone door carved with white jade.
"Han Song, please step back."
As soon as Gu Qing and the two arrived here, the stone door rumbled up, and a voice that could not be heard as happy or angry came from inside.
"yes."
The white-haired late Qi-refining senior brother, who was called Han Song, bowed in the direction of Shimen, then turned around and nodded to Gu Qing, then returned the way he came.
"Uncle Meng."
Gu Qing was on one side, waiting for the white jade-carved stone door to rise completely before saluting the figure inside.
He presented the talisman called Mirror Flower, Water Moon.
As for the high-grade magic weapon Yunzhou given by Li Qingchen, after he arrived at the Xianhe sect's station, he had already handed it over to the two senior brothers who came to receive the training from the same sect.
Behind the stone door carved with white jade, Meng Yue, a handsome middle-aged man, looked at the black-clad deacon disciple and nodded lightly.
"Your spiritual power is strong enough. Once you recover from your injuries, you will be able to break through to the later stage of Qi refining." Meng Yue's eyes were filled with approval, and a faint voice sounded in Gu Qing's ears. He stretched out his hand to grasp the jade Ruyi in Gu Qing's hand. The mirror-flower-water-moon talisman was photographed in front of him.
There is no trace of breath leaking out in every move, and Gu Qing's injuries and his cultivation status can be seen with just one glance. This is the vision of a foundation-building monk.
"Thank you, Uncle Meng, for the tip." Gu Qing looked at his nose and heart, and gave Meng Yue another fist salute.
This Master Meng Yue is different from Sun Sheng.
When Sun Sheng's qualifications broke through the foundation-building stage, he was already over eighty years old and had little potential for further breakthroughs.
The Master Meng Yue in front of him was only forty-seven years old when he broke through the Foundation Establishment Stage. He was one of the youngest Foundation Establishment Stage monks in Huifeng Valley and was well-known in the industry.
It is said that Master Meng Yue has unpredictable methods, and even veteran foundation-building monks cannot get anything good from him. In addition, he also has good alchemy skills.
Meng Yue used his spiritual consciousness to condense the mirror, flower, water and moon talisman.
After a few breaths, he looked surprised.
"May I have your name?"
Meng Yue looked slightly solemn.
"Replying to Master Meng, my nephew's name is Gu Qing." Gu Qing still held his fists respectfully, with no abnormal expression on his face.
"Decisive killing is a double-edged sword for monks. That Jingyi colluded with foreign monks and intended to kill our disciples. It is not a pity to die. You kill the enemy without thinking. You should express your appreciation." General Meng Yue The Mirror Flower, Water Moon Talisman put away, his gaze focused on Gu Qing, scanning Gu Qing's empty body, "But if this continues, the murderous nature will inevitably be too strong, and it will be difficult to build a foundation in the future."
Gu Qing's expression changed slightly.
"When our monks build the foundation, there are three calamities.
The murderous intention is sent from the sky, and the dark wind scatters the soul.
The earth sends murderous intentions and burns itself to the ground fire.
The murderous intention of people is an endless illusion.
If the monk's murderous nature is too strong, the power of these three tribulations will suddenly increase sharply, and the foundation building task will be extremely difficult. After this, it will become more difficult, and you need to take care of yourself. "
Meng Yue stood with his hands behind his back, flicked his sleeves and threw a bottle of elixir to Gu Qing.
"This bottle of elixir is Kaiyang elixir, which has the effect of breaking through the realm. What's even more rare is that the elixir is mild and can warm and nourish the soul."
Meng Yue said, and the white jade stone door slowly fell.
Snapped!
Gu Qing stretched out his hand to catch the bottle of elixir. Uncle Meng Yue's words were still echoing in his ears until the white jade stone door fell with a rumble and he came back to his senses.
"Thank you, Master Meng, for the generous gift."
Gu Qing cupped his fists and saluted again.
This time the fist-clasping salute was much more sincere.
He turned around and walked along the corridor towards the ground.
…
This is where the Xianhe sect is stationed, and there are not many permanent cultivators.
Counting the fifteen disciples brought by Gu Qing on this trip, the number of monks stationed here can only reach thirty.
This also includes Master Meng Yue underground.
"Junior Brother Gu, are you going to stay here for a while?"
Qi Wenchun, a master of the eleventh level of Qi Refining with gray hair and a wrinkled face, smiled and spoke to Gu Qing in black next to him.
As a disciple of the deacon who lives here, Qi Wenchun has become accustomed to the long night-like darkness above the ruins.
"Gu will not stay and cause trouble to Senior Brother Qi."
Gu Qing responded with a chuckle.
The two exchanged some more pleasantries, and Qi Wenchun sent Gu Qing out of the Xianhe Sect's station. He watched the junior brother's back disappear into the darkness of the ruins.
…
Above the ruins, a ball of white light passed by.
Gu Qing's figure was revealed.
He stopped next to a dilapidated palace that was slightly higher. Inside the dilapidated palace, there was miasma in various colors.
"Find a stable place to heal first."
Gu Qing's heart moved slightly.
The journey back to the Xianhe Sect this time was very long, and he planned to heal his wounds first before considering returning to the Xianhe Sect.
"The colorful miasma in this palace seems to be the result of the mutation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." Gu Qing's spiritual consciousness penetrated into the palace and captured a ray of colorful miasma.
The colorful miasma was quite heavy, and just catching a wisp of it consumed a lot of Gu Qing's soul power.
"Since this multicolored miasma is so heavy, we might as well find a hiding place here to heal our wounds."
Gu Qing took out a jade bottle and put away the five-color miasma, and then the Lanjiang Flying Sword appeared in his hand.
A few breaths later, Gu Qing dug out a hole in the ground on the side of the palace. He threw the black soil far away, leaving only a part, and then stepped into the hole to use the soil he found on the side. Big rocks sealed the holes.
Being in a narrow pit, he looked around a few times.
The black soil here is extremely moist and sticky, like juice secreted by something.
Somewhat disgusting.
Gu Qing visualized his eyebrows raised and his eyes disappeared into the hole.
His figure disappeared for a few breaths, and the black soil in the pit seemed to come to life, twisting and sticking together.
Dozens of black earthworms as thick as a water tank gathered from all directions, like sharks smelling fishy smell, their heads covered with white mouthparts.
The unpleasant roar spread to all directions.
In the stone monument space.
Gu Qing's expression was strange.
"Has the situation outside changed?"
He sensed the vibration of Qi in the outside world and didn't know what happened. After thinking for a while, he took out his last Bai Pi Dan, swallowed it in his belly, wrapped it with spiritual power and refined it, and held a piece of water attribute in the middle. Pin Lingshi, facing the vast sea above the picture scroll next to the blue-grained tree.
A tidal surge of spiritual light.
One day later, Gu Qing's injury recovered.
His injury was not serious in the first place, and after using Bai Pi Dan, the injury healed so quickly, as he expected.
At this moment, he hesitantly picked up the bottle of Kaiyang Pill.
In this life of more than a hundred years, his highest level of cultivation was the eighth level of Qi refining, but now he has reached the advanced stage of Qi refining. An inexplicable emotion appeared in his heart.
Somewhat uneasy.
None of the roads he had walked before were his first.
After that, he will embark on a new path.
He has not yet obtained the skills in the later stage of Guishui Guiyi Gong Qi Refining.
This means that if he breaks through to the ninth level of Qi refining at this moment, he will not be able to immediately use the Guishui Gui Yi Gong in the later stages of Qi refining to consolidate the cultivation he has just broken through.
He wasn't prepared enough.
Beizawa and his party got two red lava-like elixirs from Chu Tian, but he didn't know what effect they had.
He originally wanted to take these two suspected second-grade elixirs to the Cultivation Workshop in Hui Feng Valley and find someone to identify them, but unfortunately it was not too late yet.
He has not yet sorted out the gains from the previous battle...
All kinds of thoughts passed through Gu Qing's mind like running water.
He picked up the Yao Qin and placed it on his legs.
There are eight tones in the world, namely gold, stone, silk, bamboo, gourd, earth, leather, and wood. Yaoqin is also known as jade qin and lyre. It belongs to the silk among the eight tones and has a wide circulation.
There are records about Yaoqin in the classics written by the people from the north and south of the mainland, and even by the predecessors who returned from outside the region.
"Play with your own heart."
Gu Qing recalled what Ren Chan said earlier.
At this time, he was in the space of the stone monument, and there was no one else but himself. Wouldn't it be a great opportunity to play the piano?
He took out the piano slips and penetrated the piano slips with his spiritual consciousness.
He will remember the music of Changqing Qin in his heart.
Play the piano lightly.
In the silent space of the stone monument, the music of the piano went straight into the bottom of his heart, cleansing his heart. Gradually, Gu Qing felt as if he was in a land of dancing ice and snow. He felt a cold and cold feeling for the first time in a long time. After this cold and cold feeling, he felt... It is the vitality hidden in the ice and snow. This vitality is as clear and deep as clear pool water, and like nectar, when he is enlightened, thousands of distracting thoughts disappear, and his ambition for immortality suddenly rises.
Heaven and earth are like cages, and all living beings are like pigs and dogs.
Just waiting for the butcher knife of reincarnation to fall, so many crazy men and women, endless love and desires, are all in vain. One big dream returns home, and another big dream wakes up.
Thousands of deaths and countless lives, dust coming and going, deep love and desires, all are illusions.
Gu Qing closed his eyes.
He took Yao Qin aside with his spiritual consciousness, took the bottle of Kaiyang Pill out of his hand, poured out a golden pill the size of his fingertip, and swallowed it into his belly.
Guishui works in one go.
The so-called exercises are divided into two parts.
The route of doing the exercises, and the way of thinking.
The spiritual power in Gu Qing's body flows through the meridians in the body through the Guishui Guiyi Gong route, gushing out from the Dantian Qi sea and injecting it into the Dantian Qi sea.
While doing his work, Gu Qing did not take in the scroll that Li Hengyang presented to him and the vast sea area.
That is not His way.
He seemed not qualified to say the word Tao.
His cultivation is still shallow.
He himself felt this way in the past. How could he, a mere monk in the realm of Qi refining, be qualified to speak a single word? It is only natural to follow the path of our predecessors.
But at this moment, his situation changed as he pleased.
Gu Qing contemplated the giant turtle above the sea, but he didn't think at all about the power that seemed to belong to him, let alone sense or capture it.
After doing this a hundred times, the shackles of the ninth level of Qi refining appear before your eyes.
Gu Qing could detect the faint power of heaven and earth above the shackles, and he felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.
I see.
He had already reached that level of shackles.
But, he never took a step forward.
A thought came to my mind.
He swallowed the Kaiyang Pill in his belly and wrapped it with spiritual power to refine it. Soon the spiritual power around him was like boiling water, steaming and flowing through his limbs and bones and meridians all over his body, with a harmonious warmth. A feeling of heat spreads throughout the body.
An hour later.
Gu Qing took another Kaiyang Pill.
When he repeated this for the fifth time, the spiritual power in his body turned into a white stream of light, overflowing from his mouth, nose, and pores, and flowing around his body.
He understood that the time had come.
Five middle-grade water attribute spiritual stones were photographed in front of him.
puff!
With a flick of his palm, five middle-grade water-attribute spiritual stones were crushed into pieces and turned into pure water spiritual energy.
Like a long whale diverting water, he took all the highly condensed pure water spiritual energy into his mouth, and then without hesitation, he used all his strength to mobilize the spiritual power in his body to slam into the shackles of the ninth level of Qi refining. The skin and flesh all over his body Suddenly turned into blood.
Like blisters swelling, his skin and flesh felt separated, and the shackles of the ninth level of Qi Refining collapsed at the first touch.
His figure suddenly deflated, collapsing towards the sea of Qi in his Dantian. The spiritual power that overflowed from his body quickly merged into the sea of Qi in his Dantian, and his consciousness also converged into the center of his eyebrows.
The spiritual energy transformed from the five medium-grade water attribute spiritual stones has been refined very quickly, and the spiritual energy has been replenished into his Dantian Qi sea. His original spiritual energy lake continues to expand, and at the same time, there is a wave of energy in the world. Ruowu's strength penetrated into the center of his eyebrows.
Gu Qing naturally sank all his mind into the sea of Qi, like transforming into a spirit turtle, closing his eyes and breathing.
