Houtu Temple.
Senior Kang Fukang actually didn't care about the dangers his apprentice encountered outside.
Lu Pingchuan usually said hello to him when he was going out. When he came back from outside, the first thing he did was to place the monsters brought back from outside on the wooden table and fix them, and then put all the leather tendons that could be used. After taking it off, if Kang Fu sees it, he will usually go over and look at it for a while, and sometimes he will help his apprentice or ask a few questions.
But this time, after his precious apprentice came back from outside, Senior Kang discovered something different.
What it is?
Senior Kang looked at the big snake-like thing on the wooden table. It was so thick and long that it couldn't fit on a long wooden table, and it was dragged under the wooden table.
Kang Fu didn't recognize this thing for a moment, and Lu Pingchuan seemed to be a little embarrassed holding the short knife. This was definitely his first time dealing with this evil insect, but he was not sure how to start and where to strike the first blow. I heard from Sister Tang that the leather on this thing is still very good, so you can't cut it randomly. It would be a pity if you ruined a good piece of leather.
Anyway, Master has come out, so let’s listen to what he has to say.
"When did you break through the first level again?" Kang Fu asked while looking at the corpse of the evil insect carefully. As a master, he could naturally see his disciple's breakthrough in cultivation, but he was not surprised at all.
"It was this time we went out to break through. We actually found spiritual spring water when we went out this time. Sister Tang said that we can use that water to brew strong liquor, and then use that strong liquor to prepare blood soul wine, but the spiritual spring water The water from the spring was dripping drop by drop, extremely slow. I practiced in that place for a while while waiting to get water, and it was during that period that I achieved a breakthrough."
"Yes." Senior Kang Fu responded and continued to look at the unidentified guy on the wooden case. When he saw the guy's head, he found that the guy's head seemed to have been bitten open by something's sharp teeth. He ate it till it was a mess. When he saw this, he asked curiously, "Didn't you kill this thing?"
"Hey! We all arranged it well at that time. Not only this guy, but also a big boss spider could be caught. Unfortunately, someone made trouble for us later. In the end, only this guy was left to bring back. This The guy was bitten to death by that big spider, and that big spider was quite a thief. He knew there was something good in this guy, so he just bit its head open, swallowed the demon pill, and ran away."
Lu Pingchuan was still a little angry when he thought of this incident.
"Someone is causing trouble for you?" Kang Fu smiled. Sure enough, his apprentice also encountered some things outside. This is normal. He also walked through it bit by bit from that time, and encountered some things outside. It is inevitable that there are guys with evil intentions. He continued to ask with great interest, "What happened to the troublemakers? Did you drive them away or did you run away first?"
"Those guys naturally didn't end well. Three people came to cause trouble for us, and two of them died. The last one asked us to let him go." Lu Pingchuan said.
Three came to cause trouble, and two died! When Kang Fu heard this, he looked up at Lu Pingchuan and asked: "Three of them dare to cause trouble for you? How are their cultivation levels?"
"Well, those three guys are all at a high level of Qi refining. Well, actually, that's it. I'm not afraid of them if they really use their hands. Even the last guy has a weird spiritual sword in his hand. , my brother Qian said that the sword was some kind of evil sword, it was very powerful, and I let that sword cut me a few times, and then I felt weak and weak, as if I had lost a lot of strength."
"What!" No matter how careless Kang Fu was, he was shocked when he heard his disciple's words, evil sword!
He hurriedly asked Lu Pingchuan: "Were you injured by that sword? Where is the injury? Let me see!"
"Oh." Lu Pingchuan heard that his master wanted to see his wound, so he inserted the short knife in his hand on the wooden table, and then untied his robe.
The armor under his robe had been taken away by Qian Chao, and when the robe was taken off, his thick arms were revealed.
"Here is a sword hit, and here, here, um, there is also a sword here." Lu Pingchuan pointed to his arms and showed them to Kang Fu one by one. At that time, when he was hit by the sword, he held An Zhen tightly. His arms were bound, so An Zhen used the evil sword to cut his arms in order to break free.
The wound on his arm had long since healed. Yanxuan had used medicine on him both internally and externally. Moreover, the medicine Yanxuan carried was naturally carefully prepared by her using the best spiritual herbs. It was not only symptomatic but also effective quickly. Therefore, Lu Pingchuan's The wound can heal so quickly. Not only is it fast, but there is no scar left.
"Well," Kang Fu looked at his apprentice's thick arms. If he didn't mention that he had been injured, he really wouldn't be able to tell. "Someone has treated your wound and used medicine."
"That's the girl Yan we were with. She was from Qixia Mountain. She always carried various medicines with her. She felt much better as soon as she applied the medicine. I also took some medicines."
"Boy, don't be too busy with this thing for now. Come on, tell me what happened outside in detail."
"Eh!"
…
Mu Xiufeng, purple bamboo forest.
At the edge of the bamboo forest, Li Jian was holding two green bamboo branches and dancing slowly.
At this time, Li Jian closed his eyes. He was completely immersed in the memory of this outing. How he responded with sword after sword when he encountered danger. As the pictures flashed through his mind, He also danced the two green bamboos and slowly used the sword again. Even when he recalled the sword rain falling down from the sky, he closed his eyes, but his body hung lightly, and then with a From an outsider's perspective, he tasted his sword style bit by bit to see if there were any omissions. If he thought about it in his mind, the picture would freeze temporarily, and his whole body would hang there motionless.
As he recalled, he came to the cluster of round and round cloud bead fruits. He changed his body bit by bit in the air to avoid the deadly long whiskers that the evil insect shot at him from the ground. Just when he was about to rush there When the evil insect was hiding in its hiding place, the evil insect had to emerge from the ground, and a puff of black smoke spread out. He was frightened by the black smoke and he rose and fell in the air. When he turned around, he stabbed into the black smoke with his sword. right! At that moment, the Green Bamboo Spiritual Sword in his hand, which was originally three feet tall, suddenly grew to more than ten feet tall.
I have never used this sword before!
Later, when he was fighting Dong Min in the air, he was almost lying down and passed under Dong Min. Then he stabbed Dong Min's chest and abdomen with a sword in the same way. If the guy hadn't dodged quickly, then he would have One sword would definitely pierce him through.
Later, his right arm was numb and weak, and only his left arm was intact. Yu Xian's shining yellow spirit sword, which had grown bigger and bigger, was stabbing at him. The green bamboo dagger in his left hand could also be used. With this move, the white-hot sword struck the big sword hard.
The last time I used this move was when we fought together with An Zhen. At that time, the guy was trapped by Miss Tang's illusion, and his body was slow and stiff. Otherwise, he would really be unable to deal with it. I stabbed the guy with a sword. However, it was blocked by his body-protecting spiritual light, and it almost became a stalemate, forming a wrestling situation. At that time, Brother Qian used his own seal to smash it down from above, making the guy almost unable to As long as he maintained the protective aura, at that moment, his sword sharpened sharply and pierced An Zhen's shoulder.
It was this sword that made An Zhen's shoulder burst with blood. The blood suddenly aroused his murderous intention. He wanted to rush over and cut him into pieces. Fortunately, he later saw An Zhen covered in blood. , ferocious and violent look, this made him alert that if he indulged in his own murderous desire, he was afraid that his fate in the future would be even more miserable than his, and only then did he regain clarity in his heart.
This new sword and the ease of breaking free from the desire to kill are important gains from this outing.
Of course, it is also very important for your two green bamboo spiritual swords to be able to bathe in the spiritual spring water outside.
In this way, Li Jian spent almost a whole day remembering how to use the sword over and over again, reflecting on himself, and breaking free from the murderous desire in his heart over and over again.
When I opened my eyes again, the evening wind was blowing in front of me, night was falling, and there were bright stars in the sky.
Unexpectedly, a day passed without me realizing it!
"I saw that you have been dancing with the sword all day long, but you closed your eyes and danced very slowly. What's going on?"
A woman's voice came from behind Li Jian.
"Senior." Li Jian turned around and immediately saluted respectfully.
Naturally, it was Fairy Lengyue who came. He sat at the stone table in front of the bamboo hut, looked at Li Jian with gleaming eyes, and said, "You have broken through another level of cultivation. Well, I see you have been dancing all day." The sword seems different, but it seems to be the same sword. There is no one else here now, so you might as well use that sword with all your strength and let me see."
"yes!"
…
In the evening, Yanxuan finished his alchemy refining for the day.
At this time, she even felt reluctant to leave Nan Yutang.
This day's alchemy refining gave her a hearty feeling. Originally, ordinary disciples would be overwhelmed by refining elixirs for such a long time. They must be dizzy and exhausted, but Yanxuan felt a little tired. Apart from that, everything else is fine, even this feeling of fatigue is only caused by mental exertion.
Yanxuan put the small bottle filled with elixirs back into his storage bag and thought with satisfaction: The spiritual herbs he had worked so hard to bring back from outside were finally not wasted.
This is not to say that every furnace of elixirs on this day was refined. During the afternoon alchemy, three furnaces failed to produce elixirs. However, even if the refining failed, Yanxuan was not as distressed and depressed as usual when cleaning the alchemy furnace. Instead, he calmly cleaned the alchemy furnace, then put in the spiritual grass to continue refining.
Don't be happy if you succeed, and don't worry if you fail.
Yanxuan has never experienced this feeling before.
In the past, when she made a batch of elixirs, she would be overjoyed and wished she could take a good look at each elixir before reluctantly putting them into the bottle and putting them away. If she failed, when cleaning up the residue in the alchemy furnace, she would feel very sorry for the spiritual grass she had ruined.
How could it be so different today?
Yanxuan was also very puzzled when he put away his alchemy furnace.
This afternoon, Yanxuan refined a total of eleven furnaces of elixirs. Three furnaces failed to produce elixirs. Adding the four furnaces refined in the morning, a total of twelve furnaces produced elixirs. This rate of elixir formation is already very good, far exceeding the usual rate. Disciple of Qixia Mountain. A total of more than a hundred pills were refined, which was a lot. Among them were some lower-middle-grade or even lower-grade high-grade Yangyuan pills. I and a few of my companions had already had enough for their practice, and there were still some leftovers. Should I pay the ones I placed down at Qixiang Pavilion and then go to Nanyu Hall to get another piece of spiritual grass to continue making elixirs?
Walking outside Nanyu Hall, in the dusk, she raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Qixiang Pavilion. At this time, she could still vaguely see the towering eaves of Qixiang Pavilion.
To go or not to go?
It's better not to go, Yanxuan thought in his mind, the trouble he encountered this time was probably caused by Brother Qian refining spiritual weapons for others. Although Brother Qian was not to blame, it was more or less due to Brother Qian's reputation. Counting by myself, I have paid a lot of elixirs to Qixiang Pavilion before. If I continue to pay, I will probably be able to wear the double gourd jade button like Senior Sister Min. If I have the double gourd jade button, Button, I am qualified to teach those who came to Qixia Mountain with me to make alchemy. That would be too ostentatious, and might be targeted by interested people, which would bring trouble to myself and several of my companions. I didn’t before. I have never encountered it before. I ran into trouble after refining the first mid-level elixir. Thanks to Tang Ping, I rescued myself. What I want is alchemy. As for the identity and reputation of an alchemist, that's secondary. It's not that I don't want it, it's just that I'm not in a hurry. An identity is nothing compared to a skilled alchemy skill and a stable practice life. It's more important.
Thinking of this, Yanxuan made up his mind to go to Qixiang Pavilion as little as possible to refine the elixirs in the future. Anyway, he and several of his companions have reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. What they are facing right now is It is said that the Little Five Pass is difficult to pass, and the number of pills required will be greater. It is better to give these pills to the companions next time we meet, and everyone will make more progress in practice. Be faster.
What's more, I still have a lot of spiritual herbs on my body, which is enough for me to refine them for a few days.
While walking here, she raised her eyes again and saw the library in Qixia Mountain. Her heart moved and she secretly thought that she still had some spiritual herbs that she could not use for the time being. They were of good quality and she didn't have many elixir recipes. The success rate of elixir refining has increased, which is why I have been refining almost only this kind of elixir. Those unused spiritual herbs are naturally useful, so why not find more suitable elixir recipes and learn from them. Use those spiritual herbs as well.
Thinking of this, Yanxuan turned at an intersection and headed towards the library.
