Red vines were everywhere, flooding in like a tide.
Fang Xin's heart couldn't help but fall to the bottom of despair.
At the same time, she felt a sense of peace in her heart.
It seemed good to just die like this.
It won my mother's heart.
It is reasonable for her to have this ending.
In the Liuli Palace, she was a superfluous existence.
She was the concubine of an elder in the Liuli Palace. She had an affair with a male disciple and gave birth to a bastard. The male disciple was a female cadre of another sect.
If she was just an ordinary male disciple of Liuli Palace, born to the elder's concubine, then she would have been killed by the elder's people long ago.
The reason why she is alive and has cultivated to the second level of foundation building is because the male disciple is a female executive of another sect - the senior officials of Liuli Palace let her go. Even because she has spiritual roots, He took her under his wing to show Liuli Palace's broad mind.
As for the male disciple who was a female cadre, he was captured by the sect's senior officials as soon as his identity was exposed, and was imprisoned for interrogation. Fang Xin naturally did not know the results of the interrogation.
In the first half of Fang Xin's decades of life, she had never received any good looks from her, whether it was her biological mother, the elder, now her nominal father and master, or her senior brothers. , always indifferent to her.
It wasn't until she showed her talent in the formation and became a second-grade alchemist through hard work that the attitudes of these people gradually changed.
She thought the days would go on like this.
It continued until one day, she had enough strength to make those people look at her and respect her. She looked forward to the arrival of that day, just like looking forward to the rising sun at dawn, pure and innocent.
Unfortunately, the fantasy floating in the clouds is just a fantasy after all.
She relied on her own formation methods to win a place to participate in the Zichen Secret Realm thirty years later. However, her nominal father, the elder of Liuli Palace, forced her to hand over the quota to participate in the Zichen Secret Realm. Naturally, she didn't want to get the quota.
She knew that the grade of the Dao Foundation she had created was not high. If she only practiced with this Dao Foundation, even if she could practice to the realm of fake elixirs, she would still not be able to form elixirs. However, the marrow-cleansing spiritual water in the Zichen Secret Realm and the Six Yang True Fire has the possibility of improving her Taoist level!
Therefore, she could not give up her spot in the Zichen Secret Realm thirty years later. Even if her nominal father asked, she never gave in. How could she have imagined the consequences of not giving in...
I don't know how her nominal father works. She was forced to participate in this trip to the Zichen Secret Realm, replacing a senior brother who was originally going to participate in the Zichen Secret Realm.
Memories are like watching flowers on horseback.
The whole world seemed to be covered with a white halo.
But at this moment.
Fang Xin's memories came to an abrupt end because she realized that the red vines coming like a tide were blocked by a layer of golden light that seemed weak but was actually extremely tough around her, making her unable to move forward! Read the book
A white and slender hand passed through the squeezed red vines at some point and pressed on Fang Xin's thin shoulder. Wisps of golden light followed this hand and spread to Fang Xin's shoulder. On the body, the golden light covering the whole body was very familiar to Fang Xin. It was the power controlled by the black-robed weirdo named Gu.
"Why are you dazed! Is there a way to identify the direction? If not, Gu will just carry it for a while longer than fellow Taoist Fang." Gu Qing frowned slightly and said to Fang Xin.
What he said was naturally false.
However, the area covered by this red vine is very large, and under the submergence of this red vine, the spiritual sense cannot be detected and the direction cannot be determined. If you are trapped here for a long time, it will usually be in the middle stage of foundation building, even in the late stage of foundation building. Even the monks couldn't bear it.
But for him, these red vines are not a threat. He can completely cover his whole body with the power of the ancient demon, reduce the consumption of the power of the ancient demon, and even try to use the golden light of the external manifestation of the power of the ancient demon to burn these red vines. Absorbed into blood.
However, it would be difficult for him to protect Fang Xin all the time. If this woman cannot save herself,
He would not use up the precious power of the ancient demon to help this woman. Maybe he would give this woman a happy life directly and save her from consuming any more spiritual stones - after all, once this woman dies, all the spiritual stones she possesses will be lost. , it all became his.
Fortunately, Fang Xin successfully completed self-rescue.
"Fellow Daoist Gu! If you want to know the direction, the sect has distributed a compass that can be used in the Zichen Secret Realm." Fang Xin heard Gu Qing's words, her heart relaxed and she almost shed tears. The horror between life and death made her immediately feel towards Gu Qing. , there is a kind of blind trust.
"very good."
Gu Qing said two words briefly.
Bang!
A huge golden handprint suddenly solidified, and with one slap, all the nearby red vines were beaten into powder. At the same time, the golden light spread in all directions, opening up a space of about ten feet. In this space, Gu Qing He took a step forward and came to Fang Xin's side.
Gu Qing first tried to use the golden light manifested by the ancient demon's power to refine the red vine, and immediately he received two pieces of news that were both happy and worrying.
First, the red vine can indeed be transformed by the power of the ancient demon, but the color of the blood it transforms is a bit weird.
Secondly, the strange-colored blood energy transformed from the red vines can be refined by him, but the refining speed is not fast, and the replenishment of the ancient demon power in the body is slow.
"Is this the compass in this?" Gu Qing took from Fang Xin a four-foot-long, four-foot-short, four-foot-thick object that looked like it was made of gold. A compass with complex directions was embedded on it. This compass was Following Gu Qing's movements, it continued to rotate.
As Gu Qing took the compass, the direction of the compass was also fixed. Once he compared it with the map of the Zichen Secret Realm in his mind, he looked towards the left side of his body.
"Fellow Daoist Fang follows this circuit for a few feet, and then he can fly into the air with his sword and will not be troubled by the red vines." Gu Qing pointed to this direction, "Gu's golden light protects Fellow Daoist Fang among the red vines. After walking these few feet, it is still No problem."
With that said, Gu Qing walked in the opposite direction.
Fang Xin was immediately startled when she heard this. She looked at Gu Qing who walked out of the area and opened her mouth. She didn't say anything until Gu Qing submerged into the sea of red vines and disappeared.
After Gu Qing left, the area shrouded in golden light quickly converged, forming a golden diaphragm around Fang Xin.
Fang Xin did not dare to delay, and immediately walked a few feet towards the direction Gu Qing had pointed before. Sure enough, after walking a few feet, she was able to walk in the air, and immediately rose into the sky, relying on the golden light membrane around her to resist this The red vines corroded him and he flew away. Finally, after a breath, he escaped from the siege of the red vines and flew high into the sky!
Fang Xin glanced briefly below.
The area covered by red vines was several times larger than what she and Gu Qing had seen just now. Looking down from high in the sky, only the red vines could be seen below, without any other existence. It seemed like the entire The earth has been flooded with red vines!
Let's say that when Gu Qing dealt with Fang Xin, he absorbed all the golden light that manifested the ancient demon's power into his body, and quickly shuttled through the sea of red vines. At a certain moment, his steps stopped.
Gu Qing was wrapped in red vines, and golden light burst out from his body, clearing away the red vines within a few feet nearby. He then quickly sat cross-legged and used his consciousness to explore the ground below.
He was a little curious about what was going on underground where the red vines were spreading. At this time, his consciousness burrowed under the ground which was pressed extremely hard by the red vines, and was immediately struck by countless people on the ground. The roots of the red vine stung the consciousness!
There was a feeling that the power of the soul was being consumed rapidly and the consciousness was retreating. Gu Qing hurriedly took back the consciousness from the ground.
'The roots of the red vine?
Gu Qing narrowed his eyes.
Just when he made such a move, the cleared area around him was once again filled with red vines. His whole body was glowing with golden light, and he stood quietly, letting the red vines corrode him.
This time, Gu Qing only used the golden light that manifested the power of the ancient demon to cover a few inches of his body, and then used the golden light that shrouded his whole body to remove the gathered red light.
The vines were quickly turned into blood. The red vines would have been damaged to a certain extent when they hit the golden light around him. Therefore, it was naturally easier to turn them into blood than the undamaged red vines.
After trying this, Gu Qing found something surprising.
After refining this red vine, the blood energy obtained is still weird in color and is very difficult to refine, but the consumption he consumes when surrounded by this red vine is so small that it can be ignored! He can completely be in this and practice the power of the ancient demon!
Under the crazy siege of red vines, Gu Qing still maintained his posture of sitting cross-legged, looking inside the bones around his body. His mind shone silently in the void, just a trace separated, quietly sinking into the golden light flowing around the bones. In this way, Entered into the state of Guanzi Jue.
The state of unity between man and nature in Guanzi Jue will allow Gu Qing to become one with heaven and earth, and then feel things that cannot be detected by his spiritual consciousness and five senses.
Entering this state this time was quite easy, which made Gu Qing feel a little joyful. However, because of this joy, he almost passively left this state again.
Fortunately, Gu Qing quickly got rid of any fluctuations in his mind, and just watched the rise and death of the thoughts in his mind like watching running water.
The golden light on the bones around Gu Qing's body was flowing faster and faster. The remaining power of the two demon pills he had swallowed before was also quickly refined. Also being refined quickly, there were also those that were constantly moving towards Gu Qing. The incoming red vines were transformed into blood of strange colors.
Time passed by so slowly.
After Gu Qing's ancient demon power silently returned to its peak, it strengthened again. His body expanded uncontrollably, one foot... two feet... three feet...
Two days later, Gu Qing's body reached a height of ten feet. Half of the golden light transformed by the power of the ancient demon around him had transformed, quietly becoming tinged with a deep black color, and was no longer as golden as before. So pure, and with a hint of extreme domineering feeling.
This deep black ancient demon power and golden ancient demon power intertwined with each other, draped over his body, split his ten-foot-tall body into two, making the sacred and evil seem to be in his body at the same time. Manifested on the body, the contrast is so strong that it is quite shocking.
A half-black and half-gold inward spiraling line, embodying the power of the ancient demon, appeared at the center of Gu Qing's eyebrows. However, it was not in the middle, but rather downward. Where this line appeared, there were nine other lines that were only shapes. But there are no color lines.
The power of the ancient demon around Gu Qing quickly gathered towards this pattern, but was still unable to fill it up and completely light it up.
On the contrary, the surrounding red vines were moving extremely slowly towards Gu Qing's ten-foot body.
If you look at it from the outside world.
At this time, the red vines that originally stretched for an unknown number of miles had all shrunk together, stacking up to a height of more than ten feet, and each vine was wilting as if it had been sucked out. It looked a bit pitiful.
Fang Xin, who was still lingering in the air, looked at the red vines gathered together with her beautiful eyes strangely. She had some doubts whether the changes in the red vines had something to do with Gu Qing.
At this time, Fang Xin noticed a strong fluctuation.
I saw that the stacked red vines were tilted downwards, and a light blue pattern appeared next to a raised and towering pillar. This pattern spread quickly and formed the appearance of a portal, with a kind of An extremely refreshing breath flows out.
Fang Xin looked at it from a distance, and after just smelling a hint, she felt the spiritual energy in her body jumping up and down, her whole body felt light, and the Dao Foundation in her Dantian Qi Sea vibrated. She was sure that in the blue lines like a portal, It must be the marrow cleansing water!
Fang Xin immediately rushed towards the light blue door.
"Junior sister, wait a minute!"
"Fang Xin! If you idiot dares to enter that marrow-cleansing spiritual spring, I will make you look good!" A female voice with cold murderous intent shouted.
A man and a woman flew in from a distance. The auras of both of them were in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. The male cultivator was at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, and the female cultivator was at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. Looking at the clothes of the female cultivator, her other should
He and Fang Xin came out of the Liuli Palace together. At this time, they were staring at Fang Xin with murderous intent in their eyes.
Fang Xin's movements froze, showing a little fear, but he also landed on the towering pillar next to the light blue door.
The thick red vines on the column made Fang Xin's feet feel a little soft. She tried hard to overcome her fear of the fellow senior sister. At the same time, she only felt that her feet were empty, and behind her, red vines were piled up more than ten feet high. , it collapsed completely, and an originally huge figure quickly shrank in front of her eyes, finally collapsing into a figure exuding gold and black luster.
This figure moved quickly, putting on a black robe calmly, and then tied his messy hair behind his head, revealing a handsome face, then stood beside Fang Xin with his bare feet in the air.
This person is Gu Qing, who has just left the cultivation state.
Gu Qing's expression remained as usual and he glanced at Fang Xin.
Fang Xin obviously didn't expect so much, but just because the black-robed weirdo named Gu appeared, he immediately gained some confidence.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, this seems to be the gateway to the Marrow Cleansing Spring! The little girl never thought before that the Marrow Cleansing Spring cannot be accessed in ordinary ways, but is an unparalleled opportunity!"
Although Fang Xin is not a smart person, he is still quite perceptive in many aspects. What he said to Gu Qing at this time made Gu Qing, who was still thinking about why there were bursts of strange spiritual energy washing around him in this door, suddenly enlightened and completely Figured out.
'It seems that you have to deal with the spreading red vines before you can get the qualification to enter the marrow cleansing spring! Is this a test... Gu Qingru thought, then looked sideways into the distance.
The two breaths of mid-stage foundation building came very quickly. At the moment when he was talking to Fang Xin, they were only three to five hundred feet away from him and Fang Xin.
At this time, the two middle-stage foundation-building monks, a man and a woman, looked at the portal of the marrow-washing spring with shocked expressions.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, and this strange fellow Daoist, please wait for me and me! Isn't it wonderful that we can enter the marrow-cleansing spiritual spring together?" The male cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment spoke from a distance, and his voice echoed throughout the surroundings.
The female cultivator who came out of Liuli Palace with Fang Xin moved slightly. She did not threaten Fang Xin as before, but also showed a gentle manner, asking Fang Xin to wait for her.
"This portal leading to the marrow-cleansing spring, there should be restrictions on entry, right?" Gu Qing suddenly spoke to Fang Xin, then grabbed Fang Xin's arm and held the confused Fang Xin up like a human shield. , rushed into the light blue portal that was just around the corner.
Gu Qing and Fang Xin disappeared into the light blue portal.
"Looking for death!" The male cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment immediately became furious. After taking out a talisman, it suddenly spanned several hundred feet and appeared in front of the light blue portal, crashing into it.
puff!
But the light blue portal dissipated immediately after Gu Qing and Fang Xin entered, leaving the male cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building completely empty!
After seeing this scene, the female cultivator who came out of Liuli Palace with Fang Xin also felt like she was taking a funeral examination, and her face became extremely ugly.
This portal to the Marrow Cleansing Spring will only appear after each red vine spreads, and only one or two monks can enter it at a time!
"Fang Xin is a bastard who knows how to hook up. I heard from Junior Sister Huo that this bastard died in the hands of a stranger. At that time, I felt sorry for this bastard... I didn't expect that this bastard didn't know how to use it. How did you hook up with this casual cultivator!"
The female cultivator squeezed out a few words through her teeth. For Fang Xin, a shame recognized by everyone in Liuli Palace, she felt murderous intent in her heart.
At this time, the male cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building had calmed down a lot. He squinted his eyes and looked around: "What trapping formation will Daoist Ye Ah arrange? Since this portal disappeared here, it will inevitably reappear within a hundred feet." , we just need to trap those two people, and it just so happens that someone can make them into a human elixir."
Ye A, the female cultivator at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, her eyes lit up and she smiled like a flower: "I forgot that the Blood God Palace where Daoist Fellow Bian was born can refine the fifth-grade Human Yuan Dan..."
"Bian doesn't have the ability to refine the fifth-grade Human Yuan Dan. So far, he can only refine the third-grade Human Yuan Dan... Well, these two people are...
The potency of the marrow cleansing water collected should be able to retain about 30%. "The male cultivator named Bian at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment touched his mustache and said with a cold smile.
In the long azure crystal corridor.
On the long steps of crystal stones.
Two figures were walking up, one behind the other.
"That senior sister's name is Ye A. It is said that she is the daughter of an elder from the Tianchi Sword Sect. I don't know why she joined the Liuli Palace to practice... As for the male cultivator, he looks like a disciple of the Blood God Sect." Followed. Fang Xin, who was behind, slowly spoke.
"The Blood God Sect is one of the two major demon sects. Why does this senior sister mix with the disciples of the demon sect?" Fang Xin was a little confused.
"Of course it's for their own benefit." Gu Qing had no expression on his face. He raised his eyes and looked up, but he couldn't see the end of the blue corridor. However, when he got here, the clear spiritual energy he could feel was indeed getting stronger. There seems to be nothing wrong with walking up this corridor.
"Benefits?" Fang Xin nodded vaguely.
Gu Qing glanced at the female cultivator.
This girl is not only pretty good looking, she has a figure but no body, and she has no brains. Just now he directly used this female cultivator to explore the way. After the female cultivator came in, she even thanked him. This made her He realized a whole new level of stupidity in this female cultivator.
However, perhaps it is easier for dull people to get along with each other than smart people. Gu Qing has no idea of killing the girl and devouring the marrow-washing spring for herself, and is more or less willing to share some benefits with the girl.
There are a total of 36,000 steps in the crystal blue corridor. Once you walk through these steps, you will see a spiritual spring in the distance.
This spiritual spring is about three to four feet in diameter and is located alone in the stone chamber at the top of the corridor. The walls of the stone chamber are light red and vaguely form an arc, supporting the spiritual spring. The liquid in the spiritual spring has a unique milky white color. Color, the emerging water vapor is light blue phosgene.
After Gu Qing arrived here, he asked Fang Xin to come forward first and sit on a gentle place in the marrow-washing spring. He found that after sitting down, the woman entered an extremely peaceful state of regulating her breath. He carefully After observing for a while and making sure that there was nothing dangerous here, he stepped forward.
Gu Qing circled the pond several times to wash his marrow.
'Although I know it's unlikely to be taken away, I still give it a try.
His expression moved slightly and he began to take action.
At first, he wanted to remove the marrow-washing spiritual spring of the pool, along with the pool itself, but he found that no matter how much force he used, even if the whole body was glowing with gold and black, and he tried his best, he could not shake the marrow-washing spring. There was nothing in the Lingquan pool, so he settled for the next best thing, and instead wanted to take the water from the Lingquan to wash away the marrow.
Still to no avail.
This spiritual spring water cannot be taken away at all.
No matter what it is put in, even if it is held with hands, what is held is ordinary spring water that has lost all its pure spirit.
Gu Qing was not surprised by this. If the marrow-cleansing spring could be taken away, then the five forces that controlled the Zichen Secret Realm would have emptied the marrow-cleansing spring long ago. How could it be left to him?
However, there was one last attempt he had yet to make.
In the space of the stone tablet, I wonder if the marrow-cleansing spiritual water from this marrow-cleansing spring can be collected into it? Gu Qing narrowed his eyes.
Gu Qing did not try to do it immediately. Instead, like Fang Xin, he sat cross-legged in the marrow-washing spring. With him sitting in the marrow-washing spring, the marrow-washing water in the marrow-washing spring , it spread towards the surface of his body, wrapping him under it.
Then the marrow-cleansing spiritual water flowing throughout his body was like the nectar that nourished all things, penetrating through the pores of his body and toward his limbs and bones.
In the process of penetration, an extremely comfortable and transparent feeling appeared in Gu Qing's heart. He couldn't help but combine the clone with the main body and enter the state of spiritual power cultivation.
