A red spring rain fell for three days and three nights without stopping for a moment. It seemed that it would not stop until the dirt in this world was washed away.
Bai Gu has never liked rainy days very much, because when it rains, it is difficult for him to go out to find food. Even if you find it, the food is not delicious to begin with, and it will be even more difficult to swallow if it gets wet in the rain.
Bai Gu stayed in the room in the bamboo building in the front yard for three days in a row. At most, he only came to the corridor to get some air, and didn't even go out to the second floor. At other times, Bai Gu would hide in his room, eat, sleep, wander around, and talk and play with Bai Xiaoxiao who was awake.
Bai Gu sat by the bed, holding his sleeves with his hands, looking at Bai Xiaoxiao sleeping soundly on the bed, with mixed emotions.
Bai Xiaoxiao has been sleeping more and more recently, and his originally small appetite has gradually become smaller and smaller, which makes Bai Gu feel worried for a while.
Bai Gu knew what was going on.
Nine times out of ten, it's due to an underlying disease.
Bai Gu sighed again.
It was also during these three days that Bai Gu stayed in the room, taking care of Bai Xiaoxiao and practicing walking spirit.
Now the number of acupuncture points filled with the spiritual essence in his body has exceeded one hundred. Of the external and internal injuries suffered on Jiaoyue Mountain, the former has recovered, while the latter still needs some time to recuperate and recover. After all, the backlash from overdrafting spiritual power and forcibly using a light barrier to resist the phantom attack of a woman in the Pimortal Realm was far more serious than Bai Gu imagined.
What's more, Bai Gu also used the red bead lent to him by Mr. Xu in white robe.
Although he only used a little bit of the power of the red beads and there were no injuries on his body, Bai Gu still felt that something was missing in his body.
Maybe it's the foundation damage that Mr. Xu in white robe mentioned?
The foundation of a cultivator is like the foundation of a high-rise house. Any flaws and deficiencies will make the future path of cultivation bumpy. Moreover, the road of cultivation continues to climb higher, and every step is extremely important, especially from the middle and third realms. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the road to heaven. Once the foundation is damaged and unstable, the isolated and helpless Tongtian Road will fall into a rootless duckweed situation. If you are not careful, your life and death will be light.
The importance of the foundation is evident.
Bai Gu asked Wang Xizhou about the foundation, and the reply he got was that if there was slight damage, as long as it was not a promotion to the upper three realms, it would not be a big problem. But if the damage to the foundation is not small, then not to mention the promotion of realm, even the daily spiritual practice will be affected.
As for the assessment of the degree of damage, it can only be determined by oneself after the Dao is clearly understood in the Kuxuan realm. If you want to find out whether someone else's foundation is damaged or not, and the extent of the damage, you have to enter the spirit-swallowing realm.
Moreover, discovering the foundation of others is something that practitioners are extremely taboo about. It requires the other person to let go of their spiritual power to protect themselves in order to get a glimpse of the truth.
Those who forcibly pry into the other party's foundation without the other party's consent need to be at least two levels higher than the other party in order to have a chance to do so.
Wang Xizhou is now in the Mortal Realm, and Bai Gucai is in the Spiritual Realm, but the former still cannot see through the latter.
It's not that Wang Xizhou's Pimortal Realm is watery, but that there are a lot of things in Bai Gu's body.
Wang Xizhou can understand.
After all, Wang Xizhou would not believe that a disciple of the Sword Immortal didn't have one or two pieces of protective, forbidden magic weapon, or protective means left by the Master of the Sword Immortal. Therefore, Wang Xizhou was not surprised at all that he couldn't see through Bai Gu's background.
However, Bai Gu, who knew the virtues of the drunkard and what he had given him, was filled with disdain and complaints about the drunkard.
How could a master and a swordsman be so stingy! Except for the two powerful techniques, Bai Gu was not given even an ordinary weapon. If it weren't for the trophies collected from the skinny old man, Bai Gu might not even have a weapon now.
Bai Gu is rich, and ordinary weapons can be bought with excellent quality and appearance with only a few taels of gold. As for the Taoist artifacts, Wang Xizhou and Hua Xie can take them to a place that specializes in buying and selling Taoist artifacts and help take care of them for a while.
More than 20,000 white snow stones are more than enough to purchase several Ding-level Taoist artifacts.
It's just that Bai Gu doesn't waste money casually.
This money is to be kept to spend a happy birthday with Bai Xiaoxiao in Yunshui City in the future, but you can't spend too much.
Bai Gu suddenly wiped his face, and then took three deep breaths in succession. Then he put his hand on the bed board with relief and barely stabilized his sitting posture.
Bai Gu unconsciously pulled out a wry smile, full of sadness.
——————
They stayed in the bamboo house in the front yard of Fangchun Garden for another two days. After Hua Xie, who had received the blessing of "Heaven's Cry", stabilized his state, Bai Gu and the others began to discuss when to leave Thousand Miles of Wind Resting Place.
After Hua Xie was "caught in the rain", she found a room to retreat, and Wang Xizhou protected her. In less than half a day, Hua Xie broke out of the barrier and cheated on Wang Xizhou with a smile.
Wang Xizhou was extremely confused.
Hua Xie could have used this "Heavenly Cry" that was rare in a thousand years to rise to two minor realms in one fell swoop, break through the shackles of the Spirit-Swallowing Realm, and reach the Beyond the Mortal Realm. However, Hua Xie's realm was abnormally only perfect at the Spirit-Swallowing realm, and he seemed to have suffered some losses, which was clearly the result of his self-destruction.
In other words, during this "Heavenly Cry", Hua Xie had at least touched the threshold of the semi-transcendental realm, but he took the initiative to fall back, still staying in the scope of the spirit-swallowing realm.
Strange, doesn't Xiao Xie attach great importance to realm advancement? Why are you still cutting yourself off now and taking the initiative to fall into trouble?
Wang Xizhou was puzzled.
But Hua Xie has been evasive about this matter. He will fool him if he can, but he refuses to explain the reason.
After mentioning it twice, Wang Xizhou stopped asking for trouble.
There are no more than three things.
Bai Lonely held his chin in his hands and said boredly: "You can set the time. I'm free to do it. I can even leave in the afternoon. As long as it doesn't take too long, I will take the first step."
Wang Xizhou nodded and said in understanding, "Xiao Xie, what do you say?"
"It doesn't matter to me. If you stay with me longer, I will have two more days to relax. If I have to leave, I don't have a few things. I can just pack up a little and leave."
Wang Xizhou thought for a moment and said, "Then let's leave tomorrow. I have been bothering Senior Zhusheng here for a few days, and Xizhou is too embarrassed to bother Senior Zhusheng again."
"No need to disturb you. If you guys want to stay a few more days, I'll be very happy."
Shen Jin suddenly appeared at the stone table in the bamboo shed and said with a smile: "These distinguished guests don't have to bear too much psychological burden when I stay here. They can stay and stay as they please without being formal."
Wang Xizhou smiled and said: "Senior Zhusheng is close to you physically and majestic in your heart. You must not be disrespectful."
Shen Jin smiled and did not respond to this sentence.
Bai Gu looked at Shen Jin and said, "Senior Shen, we are leaving tomorrow. Let me tell you here to avoid leaving without a word. You miss us too much and you have to miss us all the time."
"Mr. Bai is really humorous. I will always think of and care about every distinguished guest who has stayed at Fangchun Garden."
"Senior Shen has a very good memory. He can remember so many guests."
"Fortunately, I often look through my friend list, or go to Xishangzhai for a walk. Over time, I will be able to remember it. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Write more and read more, and you can always remember it."
Wang Xizhou looked at Bai Gu and Shen Jin and couldn't help but feel confused.
When did the relationship between these two people become so familiar? Have such a good chat?
Shen Jin remembered something and asked Bai Gu: "I have something to discuss with Mr. Bai. I wonder if Mr. Bai is willing?"
"Tell me, if it's beneficial and can be done, I wouldn't mind helping."
Wang Xizhou reminded Bai Gu from his heart not to be too presumptuous, but the latter turned a deaf ear and ignored him. He still put his hand on his chin carelessly and looked at Shen Jin with an angry look.
Shen Jin didn't care about Bai Gu's venerable appearance, "I took in a young girl not long ago, a sword cultivator. She was seriously injured at the time, and when she stabilized her injuries, her level of cultivation was at a loss. I I have some connection with her. Now that her injury is getting better, she wants to go out for a walk. So I would like to ask Mr. Bai to give her a ride when he leaves. No matter how far or long the ride is, it depends on Mr. Bai's mood. As for the benefits, it’s easy to say.”
"Sword cultivator?" Bai Gu raised his eyebrows.
Ever since Bai Gu could remember, he had seen three people wielding swords.
The alcoholic master Lin Xianyu is a swordsman and very powerful. But drunkards are cruel and stingy, and they don't hold back at all when giving tricks to their apprentices! As a master, the things given by Mr. Wu are not as much as those given by Mr. Wu. What's going on!
Sword cultivator Lian Feng has a bad temper and doesn't like to talk, just like a stone on the edge of a latrine.
As for the third place...
A woman in gray clothes appeared in Bai Gu's mind.
Bai Gu twitched the corner of his mouth.
Why are all the sword cultivators the same, with bad tempers!
Shen Jin nodded, "This sword cultivator is extremely talented. If it hadn't been for an unprovoked disaster, he would have been able to gain the title of Sword Immortal within a few years."
Astonishment flashed across Wang Xizhou's face, while Hua Xie looked shocked.
A swordsman within sixty years?
Let alone Jiazi, within a hundred years, all those who can become sword immortals are geniuses, let alone Jiazi? Just saying that in this world, I'm afraid they are only a handful, right?
Then Shen Jin added something with a smile that shocked Wang Xizhou and the two of them so much that they couldn't calm down for a long time.
"The sword immortal I'm talking about is not the ordinary sword immortal who only seeks fame and reputation."
Wang Xizhou took a deep breath.
Wang Xizhou knew clearly what kind of person Shen Jin was in front of him and how high his vision was. Every sentence and word that came out of his mouth had full weight.
A swordsman seeking fame and reputation?
I'm afraid I'm talking about those so-called sword immortals who are unworthy of their name, self-righteous, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But from this point of view, isn't the talent of the sword cultivator mentioned by Shen Jin even more incredible?
Bai Gu didn't know the twists and turns, and coughed, "Let's make it clear first, no matter how high this sword cultivator's level is, if he rides in my car, he must set some rules, otherwise I won't trust him."
Shen Jin nodded, "This is natural."
"Of course, I won't go too far. As long as the sword cultivator stays calm and doesn't get too irritated. I won't care where the sword cultivator goes. I just need to tell him when he will be back before leaving. But If time has passed and we happen to be leaving for another place, don’t blame us for not waiting. If there is danger on the road, I hope that this swordsman will not stand by and help solve the problem as much as possible. As for how much help he can give, this Just do what you can as a sword cultivator. That’s all for now, I’ll add more later.”
Shen Jin smiled and said, "It doesn't sound too much, it's very reasonable. Chanyi, what do you think?"
Shen Jin smiled and looked at the third floor of the bamboo building in the front yard.
There, there was a girl in gray clothes standing with a sword in her arms, full of heroic spirit.
Seeing Shen Jin's gaze, the girl in gray clothes tapped her toes, her figure floated, and she arrived in front of several people in the blink of an eye.
After the girl in gray clothes landed, she nodded slightly to Shen Jin, which was regarded as a greeting. As for the others, the girl in gray only glanced at them briefly before stopping her gaze on Bai Gu, who had just made the request.
After Bai Gu saw the face of the girl in gray, he frowned with a strange look on his face.
Then the two of them said in unison: "Why is it you?"
