The morning light is dim, deep in the dense forest, birds are chirping, insects are chirping, and mountain streams are flowing. A thin young man was sitting in the cold pool, sitting cross-legged and concentrating, circulating the zhenqi in his body for a week, trying to maximize the effect of the elixir he just drank.
The water in the cold pool was bone-chilling, and he looked fearless. It was impossible to tell that this man was suffering from both ice and fire, and he had been in this state for a whole day!
"Being so infatuated at such a young age, I don't know whether it's good or bad..." Bai Shi sat in the medicine house courtyard not far from Hantan Qingchi, playing with the ancient books on the bamboo table with both hands, sighing leisurely.
"There are no old or young people before life and death. It doesn't matter whether you have love or not. What's the mystery behind the medicine you just gave to that boy named Yan?" Shi Wuji looked disgusted at Bai Shi's emotion. This old man often traveled abroad. But I am paying more and more attention to the word "love"!
The corners of Baishi's lips curled up slightly, and he replied with disgust: "Hey, your memory is really bad. The pill I gave him was just the ordinary Chaoyuan Pill, the same one you asked for yesterday. This cold pond water can cure him. With the remaining poison on his body, Chaoyuan Dan helped him break through to the Golden Dan realm, there’s nothing mysterious about it.”
"Ordinary?" Shi Wuji looked surprised. He hadn't seen such a thick-skinned person in a long time. He obviously got the pill for free from him, but he didn't even say a word of thanks and praise. It was really dumbfounding.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel indignant: "Old Baishi, you can really say it! Others' Chaoyuan Pill is only a fifth-grade pill, which is indeed ordinary, but the one I gave you is a third-grade pill!"
"Hey, since we promised Mr. Lu that day, we can't ruin the reputation of the Ghost Doctor Tomb. I'm just trying to save one after another. What else can I do?" After Baishi said this, he spread his hands helplessly. Who called these two people? It was Ji Beichen's senior brother and sister. Little Achen opened his mouth, how could he not treat her?
Yesterday, Lu Shenji sent six Qingtan Peak disciples to escort the three of Lu Xinrui to the Soul-Living Valley, and one day passed in the blink of an eye. After Shi Wuji discussed it with Bai Shi, without further ado, he began to test the medicine on Yan Nianxin. With Yan Nianxin as a "target", Shi Wuji quickly found the best way to restrain the poison.
Lu Xinrui fought poison with poison, but she survived the crisis and will wake up soon. However, due to the lingering poison, Yan Nianxin tested the medicine many times on his own body. In addition, it was at the time when he reached the perfection of expulsion and broke through to the golden elixir realm. It is very likely that he will die suddenly due to blood stasis, which is even more dangerous than Lu Xinrui's situation.
In the cold pool, when Yan Nianxin was about to complete his operation, he suddenly felt that all five senses were gone. When he opened his eyes again, there was a golden dome of glow in front of him. The golden light was extremely dazzling. He knew that his mind-taking poison had taken effect and he had entered the magic sound illusion...
Compared with the sudden fall last time, this time he came prepared. If he wanted to reunite with Lu Xigrui, he could no longer be afraid. Even if he encountered his own inner demon, he had to fight hard to kill it.
Yan Nianxin meditated silently and walked out of this beautiful scenery. The golden dome of rays of light disappeared without a trace behind him. It was indeed an illusion.
He continued to move forward with firm belief. Countless heavenly fairies fell from the sky and surrounded him. The fairies have pretty faces, graceful postures and light dancing steps.
After the dance, the fairy with the most alluring figure walked up to Yan Nianxin, her clothes were half taken off, and she looked at him charmingly.
Yan Nianxin frowned and was very tired of the fairy's warm invitation. The beauty was currently unmoved and had only one thought in his mind: to save his beloved little junior sister.
"Retreat!" Yan Nianxin shouted, holding on to his concentration, decisively rejecting the fairy's invitation and moving forward. The fairy immediately appeared behind him and turned out to be a red snake with a thick mouth.
"Death!" Yan Mingxiu waved the long sword in his hand with a determined look. The poisonous snake was split into two by the sharp sword light and fell down suddenly.
Yan Nianxin continued to move forward without stopping. The fairyland-like scenery suddenly turned into endless darkness, forcing him to slow down and carefully look at everything in front of him.
He held his sword upside down and walked forward for dozens of steps. In the thick darkness, a woman covered in blood appeared. She looked like she was dressed as a noble woman.
"Ugh!"
With a cry, Yan Nianxin saw the face of the woman clearly, it was her mother Huan Xin'er!
I saw Huan Xin'er hugging the child tightly in her arms, coaxing softly, and then kneeling in front of a cold-faced man with a "plop", and kept saying: "He is your flesh and blood, please let this child go..." ..."
Yan Nianxin closed his eyes tightly and couldn't bear to take another look. He knew that the cold-faced man was his biological father. He couldn't remember how many times this scene had appeared in his dreams, but every time it appeared, he would choose to escape... ..
A gloomy and seductive voice came from the bottom of Yan Nianxin's heart: "Yan Nianxin! Your inner demon has appeared, how long do you want to escape?"
Yan Nianxin secretly complained. Yan Mingxiu once said to him: You entered the realm too fast and the foundation was not solid enough. The inner demons have been born since then. You still need to practice for a while to calm down your breath and make a stable breakthrough.
Yan Nianxin is in a dilemma at this time. His adoptive father's words are reasonable, but if he cannot break through the inner demon at this time, he will naturally not be able to get out of this magical sound illusion, and Lu Xinrui will not be able to be saved.
Thinking of this, Yan Nianxin took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly and fell into concentration, and his disturbed mind became firm again. For this plan, he must cut off the phantoms of his parents, defeat the inner demons, break the knot in his heart, and reach the golden elixir stage in the conflict-expelling realm.
"I can do it. My mother left me a long time ago. They are just illusions in my heart!" Yan Nianxin kept encouraging himself, calming down his chaotic breath, and opened his eyes firmly.
No matter how dangerous the illusion is, it is just the fear in people's hearts. If they are determined in their hearts, the illusion will reveal its true colors. The mother's face in front of him was ferocious, no longer the pitiful look before, and his father had turned into a bone-white ghost.
"Go!" Yan Nianxin no longer hesitated, clenched the Huanxin Sword in his hand, and swung the sword to cut off the phantom of the inner demon. Several flaming sword lights converged into a red flame dragon, flying towards the "inner demon" resolutely.
At the same time as the inner demon was shattered, a golden light shone from his body, and his body was gradually filled with a warm current. The fatigue and heaviness disappeared in an instant, replaced by comfort and lightness.
Yan Nianxin opened his eyes, and the sun was setting in the west. He stood up excitedly from the cold pool, with a joyful smile on his lips, happily feeling the vivid golden elixir in his dantian. Today he actually broke through to the golden elixir. Danqi, this is incredible.
"Little brother, congratulations on entering the Golden Core Realm." Bai Shi touched his chin with satisfaction. He finally did not let Ah Chen down. In his opinion, the people close to Ji Beichen are just like him, with perseverance and perseverance that are fearless in anything, and this young man will definitely achieve great things in the future.
"Thank you two seniors for protecting me. As night falls, the two-day deadline for this heart-taking poison is approaching. Is Junior Sister Lu awake? I wonder if this cold pool and elixir will be effective on Junior Sister Lu?" When it comes to Lu Xinrui, , Yan Nianxin couldn't help but worry. He was recovering from his injuries in the cold pool. Unknowingly, a day had passed, and he didn't know if Lu Xinrui had woken up?
When Shi Wuji saw that he was just getting up, he started to worry again and couldn't help but joke: "It has an effect on Girl Lu, but it's a pity that there is only one Chaoyuan Pill. Isn't this just for you?"
"Ah? Senior Baishi, you said it was for the Xinrui Gang to test the medicine, so I took that pill. How come there was only one pill?" Yan Nianxin was so anxious that he walked out of the cold pool without even bothering to put on his clothes. He took off his shirt and ran back to Yaolu dripping wet, wanting to ask Baishi for a clear answer.
"You are really impatient as a junior. Get dressed quickly. Don't blame me for not reminding you." Bai Shi was furious when he saw Yan Nianxin's embarrassed look. Just now, he thought he had the same temperament as Ji Beichen, but now it seems that he doesn't. Chen's stability still needs to be tempered.
The three of them were talking in the courtyard. A young girl in green clothes walked out of the medicine house. When she saw Yan Nianxin's "drowned" appearance, she quickly turned away shyly and said in panic: "Ah! Senior Brother Yan, you are so embarrassed." …”
"Xinrui!" Yan Nianxin's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the girl in green clothes. Isn't this the junior sister Lu Xinrui he has longed for!
The corners of Shi Wuji's mouth twitched, and he suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out. He had learned what it means to be an infatuated person today. Compared with Yan Nianxin, an idiot, Wang Yuanting, who always chases his granddaughter, is really not that pleasing to the eye.
Bai Shi saw Shi Wuji's thoughts at a glance, threw the robe on the bamboo table to Yan Nianxin, pulled Shi Wuji and walked out of the courtyard, leaving the two young men to talk to each other.
Yan Nianxin put on his robe and stood cautiously in the courtyard. Lu Xinrui quietly turned her head and took a peek at him. Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight, she felt warm in her heart and said, "Brother Nianxin, thank you."
"Ah?" When Yan Nianxin heard Lu Xinrui calling him that, he instantly transformed into a "silly goose" wrapped in a robe, and was even more at a loss.
Seeing that he was still looking stupid, Lu Xinrui's expression dimmed. She was silent for a moment, then she seemed to muster the courage to speak loudly: "Sister Qingxi told me about Brother Nianxin helping me test the medicine. She said you have been If you refuse to give up, you will risk exploding to death until the end. You are not allowed to do such a dangerous thing in the future, and my heart is not worth it for you!"
Lu Xinrui's last words were full of anger. No matter how stupid Yan Nianxin was, he could tell that if he didn't live up to expectations, he might really miss it: "I said it was worth it, and it was worth it."
"You..." Lu Xinrui said "you" for a long time, not knowing what to say, and finally let him go into the room in frustration. He couldn't keep his wet clothes covered like this.
Yan Nianxin went into the house and changed his clothes. When he came out, he saw Lu Xinrui sitting in the yard with a pale face in a daze. His originally relaxed heart suddenly tightened again, and he quickly asked: Xinrui, why do you look so bad? "
Lu Xinrui pursed her lips, looked at him deeply with her eyes, and thought to herself: It's not because of you, a stupid senior brother!
Yan Nianxin stepped forward quickly without any hesitation, squatted in front of Lu Xinrui, held up her hands and asked eagerly: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Seeing that he was so nervous about her, Lu Xinrui believed that Shen Qingxi's words were true. Her expression softened a lot, she tilted her head and replied with a smile: "I'm fine, I just feel very weak, but why is senior brother protecting me like this?" ?”
Yan Nianxin breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and took half a step back. He struggled for a long time before saying, "I...I am your senior brother, and I should protect you."
Lu Xinrui smiled happily after hearing this, with the unique shyness of a young girl on her face. Seeing Yan Nianxin stay there, she mustered up the courage to shake her heart and finally said what she had been holding in her heart for a long time: "Rui'er! I want to protect you for the rest of my life. ,May I?"
Lu Xinrui was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red with embarrassment. Although she was still young, she knew the profound meaning of this sentence, so she said: "Senior Brother Yan is a bully, I will ignore you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and ran out of the medicine house, leaving Yan Nianxin alone who didn't know what he meant and was so anxious that he was sweating. It seemed that matters between men and women were much more difficult than practicing sword skills. It would be better to ask Judge Wang for advice another day. …
