The wooden box containing the spiritual herbs on the case was put back into the storage bag, and naturally it was all handed over to Yanxuan. Then Qian Chao and several companions moved to his small building. The furnishings inside Needless to say, the thoughts of several people were not focused on it. Qian Chao led the four of them to a small room. There was a staircase extending downwards. Qian Chao led the way and walked down first, pushing open the stone door at the bottom. , everyone entered a basement hall.
This hall is extremely neat and clean. The floor is paved with a smooth and shiny grape purple wooden board. The surrounding mud walls are sealed with a whole piece of milky yellow stone with hookah patterns. The same stone is also used above the head. You can't see it. To any earth color, a few pearls are inlaid on the stone slab above the head, quietly emitting warm light, making this hall bright but not dazzling. The furnishings in the hall are simple, with only a desk and a few futons. Although it is underground, it is not stuffy. The air is fresh, and it seems that you can still smell the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard.
"The upper part is for living, and the lower part is for practicing and refining weapons. The senior brother who lived here before Senior Brother Cheng must have noticed that there was a fire vein passing through here, so he arranged a fire eye so that if you want to refine weapons, Then you don’t have to go to Chengqi Hall, which is very convenient.”
With that said, Qian Chao pushed open a door on the left side of the hall, and suddenly a residual hot breath burst out from the door.
"You don't have to worry about others looking at you when you refine your weapons here."
Seeing that no one had the intention to go in because of the scorching heat in his refining room, Qian Chao closed the door casually. He didn't know what material the door was made of or what magic had been cast on it. As soon as the door was closed, the scorching heat disappeared. .
Walking to the right side of the hall, there was also a door there. Qian Chao stood in front of the door, turned around and said to a few people: "Come on, this is what I want everyone to see today. After entering, you will know that I was in the courtyard just now." The words are true.”
This room was also not very big, with few furnishings and only two wooden tables. However, after several people entered, they were stunned by what they saw.
More than a foot above one of the wooden tables, a spiritual grass was suspended quietly, with several new green leaves stretching naturally, and a pink-white grass root intertwined like a vein.
On the wooden table under the spiritual grass, five jade lamps are placed. These five jade lamps form a circle, and the spiritual grass is on the center of the circle. In addition to a spiritual stone in each jade cup, Qian Chao used a pen dipped in cinnabar to write runes on the inner wall that no one could recognize.
"Sister Yan." Qian Chao gently called Yan Xuan, who was staring blankly.
Yanxuan hadn't recovered from the surprise. She glanced at Qian Chao blankly before she understood what Qian Chao meant by calling her. He calmed down and said softly: "This is jade grass, which is the refined Huanglong Pill." The main medicine can also be used to make talisman paper. Seeing that this spiritual grass has five leaves and can be heated for up to a year, it has not yet been produced."
When she just finished speaking, a new leaf of this jade plant was slowly forming. A yellow-green leaf bud slowly drilled out from the top of the stem of the spirit grass at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then slowly moved towards it. The nearest leaf leaned over and gradually turned from yellow-green to new green. However, a new and tender grass stem that is growing continuously pushes this new leaf away from the leaf it is next to and slowly rises upward.
The whole process took longer than a cup of tea. Several people watched quietly without anyone making a sound. Finally, Yanxuan sighed and said: "It's six leaves. It's unbelievable. The spiritual grass just now wasn't ready." It is a low-grade spiritual grass now."
Qian Chao didn't say anything when he heard this. He just took out five new jade cups and placed them on the wooden case. He also took out an inkstone, a porcelain bottle, a pen and five spiritual stones. Then he looked at the four people and said, "I'll do it all over again. Please take a look."
After saying that, he poured some of the dark red cinnabar that had been mixed in the porcelain bottle into the inkstone. After dipping the pen in the cinnabar, he took a jade cup and began to draw strokes in it.
When Qian Chao put down the jade cup in his hand and took another jade cup and started sketching, the four of them saw that the already painted jade cup was densely filled with runes that they did not recognize, stroke by stroke. It looked lame and unfamiliar. Except for Tang Ping, who seemed to have seen it somewhere, the other three had never seen it before. However, these runes were somewhat similar to the runes in the five jade cups under the jade grass, but they were not the same. , but they can't completely tell the difference.
Qian Chao wrote very quickly, and soon the five jade cups had been written. He put down the pen and gently blew the cinnabar in the jade cups, and then placed the five jade cups in a circle around the case. He put four of the spiritual stones into four jade cups respectively. Holding the fifth spiritual stone, Qian Chao looked at Yanxuan and said:
"Sister Yan, you should have some seeds of spiritual grass on you, right?"
Qian Chao also had the seeds of the spiritual grass in his possession, which he bought at the market in Jiuxuan Nei. However, he asked Yanxuan for the seeds of the spiritual grass on purpose, in order to convince his four companions.
"Yes," Yanxuan said and took out a storage bag. The disciples of Qixia Mountain naturally knew how precious the spiritual grass was, so if they got the seeds of the spiritual grass, they would naturally store it.
"Sister Yan, just give me a seed of the most common spiritual grass."
"Okay," Yanxuan said, after rummaging through his storage bag, he took out a very small wooden box and placed it on the case. After opening it, it was filled with some maroon seeds, like unshelled grains. generally.
"This is the seed of the Nine Bell Flower." Yanxuan watched Qian Chao pick out a seed from the small box with two fingers.
"How long does it take for the Nine Bell Flower to sprout after it is planted?" Qian Chao looked at the seed and asked.
"Nine Bell Flowers are the lowest-grade spiritual herbs. They can germinate in about twenty-five days after being planted, and can be used as medicine in just one year." Yanxuan replied.
Qian Chao nodded after hearing this. He held the seed and stopped it one foot above the center of the five jade lamps. He released his other hand and with a "clang" sound, the fifth spiritual stone fell into the last one. In the empty jade cup, the two fingers holding the seed loosened, and the seed hovered steadily above the five jade cups.
When the fifth spiritual stone fell into the jade cup, with the sound of "clang", Yanxuan and the other four people more or less felt a subtle fluctuation of spiritual power that was fleeting. To notice but to feel nothing.
In just a few breaths, the seed began to swell as if it had been filled with water, and seemed to be still squirming slightly. With a slight sound of "peeping", the maroon shell was opened, and a little white. The root bud tentatively stretched out downwards, and two yellow-green round leaf buds trembled and stretched out. The maroon seed shell was still hanging on one of the leaf buds. As the leaf bud stretched, finally the maroon shell It fell down, bounced slightly on the case, and then stopped moving.
Yanxuan looked at the shell of the seed on the case and then looked up at the new and tender spiritual grass buds. He covered his mouth and nose in shock, fearing that even a little bit of his breath would destroy the newly formed Jiuling. Flower buds blow off. The other three people, including Tang Ping, were too shocked to speak. They stared intently at the growing spiritual grass.
Gradually, the buds gradually grew into a spiritual grass that was as tall as a palm. Many roots with criss-crossing veins had grown. The grass stems were green and the leaves were bright green. A slender, leafless and smooth grass stalk was slowly growing from the ground. The top of the spiritual grass was pulled out, and after it was a foot long, several grass knots slowly grew out. There were exactly nine grass knots, no more, no less, in detail. If you look closely, where are the grass knots? There are clearly nine grass knots growing slowly. The flower bones slowly become bulging and round. The nine flower buds trembled slightly, and finally the bottom one slowly cracked, and the white petals began to unfold. Before it fully bloomed, the flower bud next to it also bloomed into a small white flower, and soon the nine flowers were fully opened. The elegant and simple petals and stamens hang downward, like wind chimes hanging upside down from the eaves of a building, and there is a faint fragrance passing through everyone's noses. The flowers soon began to wither, the petals turned yellow and wrinkled, and the stamens curled and dried up. After the flowers withered, the whole plant began to slowly wither and finally lost any trace of greenness.
Qian Chao reached out and took the withered Nine Bells flower in his hand, and twisted out nine seeds between the calyx and pedicle that had not completely fallen off. They were exactly the same as the ones he had taken out from the Yanxuan wooden box before.
"Sister Yan, give me back your seeds." Qian Chao opened his hand to Yanxuan, and nine seeds were in his palm.
Yanxuan, Tang Ping, Li Jian, and Lu Pingchuan were all shocked by the scene in front of them. The growth and withering of vegetation is a common thing, but the four of them never expected to witness the germination and growth of a seed in a cup of tea. , the whole process of flowering and fruiting. Naturally, Yanxuan often goes to the Spiritual Medicine Garden in Qixia Mountain. She also knows that there is a secret method in Qixia Mountain that can make the spiritual herbs grow faster and more prosperously. However, no matter what kind of secret method, it must comply with the season. In this regard, it is actually the same as Farmers in the world who specialize in crops are no different. After the seeds are planted in the soil, although there are disciples from Qixia Mountain to take care of them, the growth of the spiritual grass can only follow the weather and slowly wait for it to sprout and grow. But now this scene is happening. It had completely overturned Yanxuan's partial understanding of spiritual grass, so she stared blankly at the nine small maroon seeds in Qian Chao's palm, as if she was dumbfounded and didn't make a sound.
Not to mention Yanxuan, Tang Ping, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan were speechless when they looked at the spiritual grass seeds in Qian Chao's hand.
He really has a specialization in the art! Li Jian thought, I really didn't expect that those strange characters that Brother Qian usually played with that he didn't recognize could be so useful. These should be of great use, otherwise Brother Qian wouldn't have studied so painstakingly. Thinking of this, Li Jian's heart As soon as he moved, the annual spiritual grass just grew up between the cups of tea, then... Li Jian's heart suddenly jumped a few times. He finally understood how useful Qian Chao's method was, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes. Looking at Qian Chao, I secretly admire that this Qian brother really doesn't hide anything from his friends.
Tang Ping and Yanxuan were the first to understand Qian Chao's intention, but Yanxuan was still in shock and couldn't speak. Seeing Qian Chao reaching out to return her seed, he also stretched out his bare hand flatly, Tang Ping said. Seeing this, Ping reached out and pinched the seeds from Qian Chao's hand and put them into Yanxuan's palm. No wonder Yanxuan had this reaction. She usually pays attention to following the rules when collecting herbs and making elixirs. Otherwise, the hard work of many days will be ruined. It would most likely turn into a furnace of scorch. What she saw now had subverted some of her perceptions. It would be strange not to be surprised.
Compared to Yanxuan and others, Tang Ping was the first to regain her composure. After getting along for a long time, she was not surprised by Qian Chao's actions. What she wanted to know most now was how Qian Chao knew. This method of making spiritual grass grow quickly, and the runes painted on the jade cup... Tang Ping actually looked familiar. Those runes were different from those that Qian Chao usually used on the talisman. They were vaguely different. Tang Ping felt that the words in the jade lamp seemed to be related to the five people present.
"Well," Lu Pingchuan was still the most confused among the five. He scratched his scalp and asked a little embarrassedly, "Brother Qian, this is interesting, but what's the use of it?"
"Of course it will be of great use, Brother Lu!"
Lu Pingchuan's question broke the silence and pulled Yanxuan out of his thoughts. After saying this, Yanxuan took a few quick breaths and his face turned slightly flushed. After a pause, Yanxuan continued:
"Most of the spiritual herbs needed for high-level elixirs are difficult to find. Firstly, they are rare. Secondly, the requirements for the temperature of the year are high. It often requires a hundred years of heat or even longer. With Brother Qian's method, if we need any high-level The elixir cannot be found to be hot enough, so if you have the seeds of that spiritual grass, you can refine the elixir."
"Oh," Lu Pingchuan understood a little better, and it was rare that he took another step to think about it and continued to ask, "Since Brother Qian's method is easy to use, wouldn't it be possible to get the spiritual herbs used by Yan Meizi to make alchemy here? You can get as many as you want and as many years as you want."
"Brother Lu!" Tang Ping scolded, taking out a spiritual stone that Qian Chao had put in before from the jade cup, "Look, is it a lot smaller?"
Sure enough, what Qian Chao put in was a new spiritual stone that had never been used before. After Tang Ping took it out, everyone found that the spiritual stone was only half of its original size. Everyone looked at the other four jade lamps, and sure enough, The spiritual stones inside have become smaller.
"His method is good, but it doesn't mean that the spiritual grass grows so fast out of thin air. There are certain rules for gains and losses in the world, so how can you just say it's fast? And Jiulinghua is the lowest-grade spiritual grass. , if it is a high-grade spiritual grass and needs to be heated for hundreds of years, how many spiritual stones will be needed?"
"Oh," Lu Pingchuan seemed to understand, but he pointed to the spiritual stones in the five jade cups under the jade grass and said, "Look at the spiritual stones under the grass, they don't seem to have become smaller?"
Indeed, the spiritual stones in the five jade lamps under the jade grass seem to be the same size as the new spiritual stones.
"I have to ask Mr. Qian. I guess it must have something to do with this." Tang Ping pointed to the runes written with cinnabar in the jade cup in her hand. "Although I don't understand the runes here, I can." Seeing the difference in the jade cups on both sides, this is probably the key, right?"
Qian Chao smiled, nodded, made an invitation gesture, and said:
"Come on, let's sit outside and I'll explain everything to everyone."
When they came to the living room outside, several people sat down on the futons and found that Qian Chao had brought out five jade lamps, which were still arranged in a circle on the ground.
Pointing to the strange words inside the jade cup, Qian Chao asked:
"Do you still have any impressions of the runes inside?"
Yanxuan, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan all shook their heads.
"Brother Qian said so, have we seen these runes before?" Li Jian asked.
Qian Chao nodded but before speaking, Tang Ping said:
"I have a slight impression, but it just looks familiar. It seems that I have seen it somewhere."
Qian Chao nodded again and said:
"Yes, Xiaobai and I spent a lot of effort to wake you up that day, but when you woke up, it was already over, so you only have a vague impression."
After saying this, Tang Ping remembered where she had seen these ghost-like runes, and couldn't help but said angrily:
"Ah! I remembered, what woke me up? I was already awake and you slapped me."
Hearing this, Qian Chao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and hurriedly said:
"It was out of necessity. How did I know you were awake at that time? Okay, let's get down to business."
Qian Chao paused and continued:
"Does everyone still remember what happened to us at Little Lotus Lake when we were in Youming Valley?"
Yanxuan and Li Jian both nodded when they heard what Qian Chao said. When they were attacked at Lianhua Lake, Li Jian's heart suddenly became alarmed. It was a monk in the Qi refining stage who had no choice but to attack them. Although he wanted to sound a warning at the time, But he fell into unconsciousness without making a sound. When he woke up, he was lying in the forest. It was only later that he heard Qian Chao talk about the cause and effect. Yanxuan also remembered that the five of them went to Lianhua Lake for fun, and somehow they woke up feeling exhausted and heard Qian Chao tell a very sinister story. It's a good thing that I met Tang Bonian at that time, otherwise I would really think that Qian Chao was making up stories.
"That time, I remember I seemed to have taken a nap when I got there?" Lu Pingchuan said. He was the last one to wake up at that time. He didn't even see Tang Bonian, so he always thought he had taken a nap. , As for what Qian Chao said, he didn't take it to heart at all.
Qian Chao smiled, pointed at the runes inside the five jade cups and said, "These runes are what I saw in that experience. Although my memory is pretty good, I haven't encountered them again since then." However, I couldn't figure out their use, so I almost forgot about them, but the experience in the 'water mist mirror' a few nights ago made me remember them again."
Li Jian nodded and asked, "Then what is the origin of these runes?"
Qian Chao replied: "I don't know their origins. Since I entered Jiuxuan, I have looked through the books I can find in the library and there are no records related to these runes. But now I know what these runes mean. , metal, wood, water, fire, earth." As he spoke, he pointed at the jade cups on the ground. Each time he pointed at one, the jade cup moved on the ground in front of a person, "and the spiritual roots of each of us. They are the same. At that time, there was a white jade pillar behind each of us, and the runes were engraved on the white jade pillar. When the formation was activated, the white jade pillar would shift, like this..."
As he spoke, he used his spiritual power again to make the five jade lamps change positions one after another.
"The five-element attributes of the runes on the jade pillar will have a mutual relationship with the attributes of our own spiritual roots. When the formation was activated, in order to see clearly what happened, I used the "Jade Sea Scripture" randomly, but I accidentally hit it by mistake. Knocking me down gave me the Blue Eyes Technique I have now..."
Qian Chao said and pointed at his eyes.
"When the Little Five Spiritual Formation that trapped us was activated, I could clearly see how the spiritual energy in the formation went, from where it originated to where it stopped, and how it moved. Even after the formation was reversed, I could clearly see it. After we were lucky enough to escape that time, I couldn't forget the little Five Spirit Array. But then I focused on refining weapons and practicing, and gradually put the little Five Spirit Array down. In the 'Water Mist Mirror' In the illusion, what finally trapped me was the Little Five Spirit Array, and it was more complicated than the one we had experienced. After escaping from that illusion, I started to study this array again. For this reason, I I even went back to Little Lotus Lake, but it had been completely demolished and nothing was left. Even the cave we were in was filled with stones. I had no choice but to After I came back, I shut myself up and thought hard. Finally, by experiencing the Little Five Spirit Array for the second time in the illusion of the 'Water Mist Mirror', I finally gained something, although I was still far from fully understanding its secrets. It's too far away, but it can be used for us now. Oh, as for this formation to speed up the growth of spiritual grass, it is unintentional. Speaking of which, Sister Yan has said many times before that the reason why spiritual grass is spiritual Grass, because its growth depends entirely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so I tried to use this paradoxical formation to induce the birth of spiritual grass, but I didn't expect it to happen."
At this point, Qian Chao took out the five spiritual stones he had just used and spread them in the palm of his hand:
"What Tang Ping said just now, there are certain rules for gains and losses in the sky and on the earth. It is indeed true. What the Nine Bells Flower absorbed just now when it grew was not the aura of heaven and earth, but the aura in these five spiritual stones, that formation. Its function is to allow the spiritual grass to absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone."
"Why are the runes in your jade cup different from the runes in the jade cup under that jade plant?" Tang Ping asked.
"Of course, I can't let everyone spend a few hours watching the seeds of the Nine Bell Flower germinate, so I drew a few more runes on the jade cup. The function of those runes is to let the aura Speeding up the operation will also allow the Nine Bell Flowers to germinate faster, but this will also consume more spiritual stones, otherwise I estimate that these five spiritual stones can at least make twenty dozen Nine Bell Flower seeds grow."
"Before, in your courtyard, you showed Sister Yan how many spiritual stones it took to produce the spiritual grass?" Tang Ping asked again.
"Speaking of this, it really makes me feel a little bit pained. From the initial exploration to being able to steadily accelerate the growth of these spiritual grasses, it took me more than two hundred spiritual stones in total!"
"So many!" Tang Ping said.
After hearing this, Yanxuan thought about it in his mind and said: "In this way, there is no need to use Brother Qian's method for these commonly used spiritual herbs. We can get them outside when we go out. Only those that are most precious to us are rare. If we cannot obtain the spiritual grass of sufficient age and age, as long as we have seeds, we can turn it into spiritual grass of sufficient age and use it to make elixirs, right?"
"The precious and rare spiritual grass, what is Miss Yan referring to?" Li Jian asked. He actually knew the general answer in his heart, but just wanted to confirm it again.
"For example, the spiritual herbs used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill are strictly controlled by Qixia Mountain. Even if the disciples have set prices for such spiritual herbs, they are still ridiculously high, but still It's just a price but no market." Tang Ping replied on behalf of Yanxuan.
Li Jian nodded slowly after hearing this.
"One more thing," Qian Chao chuckled and looked at the four people and said, "No matter where the spiritual grass is collected, as long as it is alive and has roots, stems and leaves intact, this formation can continue to accelerate the growth of the spiritual grass. "Seeing that the four people looked at him after hearing this, Qian Chao added, "I tried."
"That would be great. If we can find precious spiritual grass that is not old enough, there will be no need to regret it." Yanxuan said.
Qian Chao opened his mouth at this time and said what he wanted to say today.
"Indeed, although the biggest hurdle for the five of us now is these five small passes, we should start collecting all the elixirs and spiritual herbs that are beneficial to practice from now on and make early preparations. People often say that only by building Ji is the real beginning of cultivation. The Qi refining period is just an apprenticeship stage that cannot leave the house. Look at the senior brothers and sisters in the sect. Some of them have been practicing hard here for nearly two years and are still lingering in the Qi refining period. If you were born like me, I'm afraid both my parents would have passed away long ago. I don't want to be like them and not see my parents for such a long time. What I want most now is to go home to visit my relatives after building a foundation. Oh, to be honest Everyone, from the beginning of the first selection to now, I have almost seen all the new things in the sect. Now I really want to go out and see the world outside the sect, and I even want to go home to visit my parents."
Speaking of what happened next, Qian Chao slowly lowered his eyelids and only looked at the ground.
After listening to Qian Chao's words, the four of them were silent, each with their own thoughts.
"Brother Qian is right!" Li Jian was the first to break the silence. He took a breath and said, "I am indeed homesick."
As soon as these words came out, Yanxuan's eyes began to moisten.
"Then just do as Brother Qian says, and I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Lu Pingchuan said that although he was upright, his parents were still with him but no longer around him. Hearing these words also made him feel homesick.
"There are two points," Tang Ping put down her emotions and stretched out two fingers. After seeing everyone looking at her, she said, "First, what Mr. Qian wants is directly to build the foundation, but first of all, those rare spiritual herbs Even the seeds are hard to find, and even if they are all found, the final elixir refining will have to be left to Sister Yan. Sister Yan once told me that the higher the level of the elixir, the lower the success rate. Alas... …I don’t know how much hard work and twists there will be in this, and it will naturally make us have more toil. Well… let me put it bluntly. Among the five of us, Brother Li and Brother Lu have a sword. When it comes to physical cultivation, according to the sect’s past traditions, there are very few monks who enter Muxiu Peak and Houtu Temple who cannot build the foundation..."
"Miss Tang," Li Jian said to stop Tang Ping. He looked at Lu Pingchuan and said, "Only when five people work together can we break through the metal. Only by building the foundation as soon as possible can we return home to visit our elders as soon as possible. Of course I know that under Muxiu Peak Wuyizi, as Jun Erlang in Houtu Temple said, but what you get is always more interesting than waiting for others to give it to you. According to what Brother Qian said before, this is also cultivation, so don't worry about me."
Tang Ping nodded after hearing this.
Lu Pingchuan couldn't say what Li Jian said, but he understood what Tang Ping and Li Jian said, so he patted his thigh and said:
"Let's do it, why not! Let's build the foundation together and go out to explore together, that would be fun!"
Qian Chao looked at Tang Ping with some gratitude. He should have said what Tang Ping just said, but Tang Ping was the best person to say it, because the effect of what Tang Ping said would be different from his. Same, after all, among the five people, Tang Ping has the deepest background and is most likely to build the foundation. Even though Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan studied under Mu Xiufeng and Houtu Temple, Tang Ping's master is not considered by the fairy, and her sixth grandfather That was a well-known pill-forming monk in Shuiyun Valley. When his granddaughter Ruo rushed to the pass to build the foundation, wouldn't he be laughed at if he, as a grandfather, couldn't take out a few foundation-building pills? Regardless of these three people, even Yanxuan's situation is a bit better than Qian Chao. After all, she is in Qixia Mountain, which is famous for alchemy. It is impossible to say that she will be the first to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill in a few years. Therefore, among the five people, the most worrying situation is Qian Chao, so Qian Chao feels deeply about Tang Ping's words.
As for Tang Ping, she doesn’t actually care about a few foundation-building pills. What she cares about is the “fun” of doing these things and that it would be “more fun” to do it with a few partners. Thinking more deeply, foundation-building actually doesn’t matter. It’s nothing. After building the foundation, there is still pill formation. I don’t know how long this journey of cultivation will be. During this period, I have a few close friends together... It’s the ones around me right now: Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan are strong. Although Sister Yan is a bit soft-tempered, she is kind-hearted and has good alchemy skills. There is also Qian Chao next to her, who is full of wits and always surprises her. With them here, I'm afraid Even forming a pill will not be the end for the five of them. As for how far the five of them can go together, we have to wait and see.
After looking at Qian Chao, Tang Ping collected her thoughts and said again:
"The second point is also the point that I am more worried about. I have never heard of this method of promoting spiritual grass. I saw that Sister Yan just now understands that there should not be one in Qixia Mountain. I guess Qian Chao's formation is the only one in the sect. Yes, even if there are people in the sect who know this formation, they are probably hiding their secrets and making a fortune in silence. I would say, with or without this formation, our Wuling Sect is still a large sect with many talented people. We should keep it secret This secret will give us some advantages in practice, but it would be inappropriate if it were leaked. This formation was born out of the Little Five Spirit Array. It is unknown whether the Little Five Spirit Array is a forbidden technique within the sect. If it is a forbidden technique, then Qian Chao may be punished. If it is not a forbidden technique, then Qian Chao will become the object of competition for some seniors with ulterior motives. If there are really a few old guys who have formed pills and know about it, they will take action. Think about it, Qian Chao is a bit dangerous. The gangster Qian kid behind the scenes is completely unable to resist now. Therefore, the formation Qian Chao showed us today should be regarded as a secret that the five of us must keep. Even if Qian Chao The boy wants to dedicate this formation to the sect, but only after he and we have the ability to protect ourselves, do you all agree?"
After hearing this, several people became serious. Lu Pingchuan was the first to say: "Don't worry, I won't say a word to others even if I die in my stomach."
Yanxuan nodded and said, "I will never mention this matter in front of outsiders."
Li Jian said solemnly: "It concerns our practice, and more importantly, Brother Qian himself. Li must be tight-lipped and never reveal a word to anyone."
Seeing this, Tang Ping continued: "Me too, this matter is of great importance to us, even my master and Grandpa Six will not know about it."
Qian Chao sighed in his heart at this time, secretly thinking that this Tang Ping was really thoughtful, she actually said everything she wanted to say and what she couldn't say for herself, and it was so impeccable and comprehensive that it was really unusual. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the four of them.
"Okay," Tang Ping looked at Qian Chao and asked again, "You said in the yard before that we were invited to come here today for two things. This birth-inducing spiritual grass is one, which is an eye-opener for us. The first one is What are the second things? To be honest, your formation for stimulating spiritual grass scared me. I am really looking forward to your second thing."
Qian Chao smiled slightly after hearing this, gently unfolded his clothes, and then calmly said:
"Before I talk about this second thing, I have something else to say to everyone."
"Here we go again!" Tang Ping interrupted him dissatisfied, "When did you get into the habit of being so showy? You need to change it."
Qian Chao smiled and ignored Tang Ping's complaints and continued: "It has been nearly three years since we got to know each other in Youming Valley. Except for the first and second levels of Qi Refining, we were in our respective sects. Outside of practice, we spend the rest of the time together, and we are very familiar with each other. As far as I know, among the five of us, in terms of spiritual qualifications, the leader should be Brother Lu."
Lu Pingchuan had never cared about this. Hearing this, he was a little confused and said, "Oh? Is it me?"
Qian Chao nodded and continued: "According to what I learned when I chatted with Brother Lu in the past, Brother Lu's spiritual root qualifications are considered to be the best, that is, the best spiritual root qualifications. There are thousands of Qi refining disciples in the sect. , not many have good qualifications.”
"Oh, that's it. I said that old man at that time, oh... no... it was Senior Tang. Hehe, I said that Senior Tang was as eager as a man to abduct me. It turned out that he took a fancy to me. Spiritual roots.”
Lu Pingchuan was used to talking without meaning. When he said it, he thought that "that old man" was Tang Ping's sixth grandfather, so he quickly changed his name to the honorific. Tang Ping could only smile helplessly, but Yanxuan couldn't help but laugh at Lu Pingchuan.
Qian Chao continued: "The second ranked one should be Sister Yan. I remember Tang Ping told me about the scene when Sister Yan held Yu Ruyi in the first round. According to this, Sister Yan's spiritual root qualifications should be It’s the best quality.”
Yanxuan's spiritual roots are also rare. There are few disciples in the sect with good spiritual roots and not many with top-grade qualifications. However, Yanxuan doesn't really care about her spiritual roots. She is still relatively concerned about her current situation. Satisfied, so even though he was a little surprised when Qian Chao said it, he just nodded.
"The third one, I think, should be Tang Yatou. Her spiritual root is quite special. It is a hidden spiritual root. I remember you said that you have a hidden spiritual root of the water attribute. As for your qualifications, it seems that in the past few years, it should be the same as Yan's. I am right among the brothers, am I right?"
Qian Chao asked Tang Ping. In fact, he knew the truth about Tang Ping's spiritual roots, but it was almost related to Tang Ping's life and death, so he still talked about Tang Ping in terms of hidden spiritual roots.
"Absolutely, you're right." Tang Ping replied.
"The fourth one should be Brother Li. When I talked with Brother Li in Youming Valley, Brother Li mentioned the scene after holding Yu Ruyi during the first round, which filled the room with brilliance. Brother Li also mentioned that Senior Tang was there When recording your spiritual root, I used the word "中上"."
"Yes, that's exactly it." Li Jian replied.
"The one at the bottom is me," Qian Chao sighed and smiled helplessly, "My spiritual roots are so bad that I almost couldn't enter the sect. Fortunately, an elder from my clan once practiced in the sect. During the election, he was I begged for mercy. Senior Tang was kind-hearted and couldn't bear the decline of my Qian clan, so he brought me into the sect. My spiritual root qualifications were acceptable at the time of the first election, so I meant that I could use them or not. Later, we were in danger at Xiaolianhua Lake. It can be regarded as an adventure for me. At that time, Senior Tang looked at my spiritual root again and reluctantly determined it to be Zhongping. Even so, my spiritual root was still at the bottom among the five of us."
When Qian Chao said this, Yan Xuan, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan just listened and did not react. Only Tang Ping seemed to catch something from Qian Chao's words. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she guessed The question that had been asked to Qian Xiaozi many times before might have an answer, but it did not interrupt Qian Chao's speech.
"Generally speaking, the better the spiritual root qualifications of a monk, the better the prospects for practice. At least monks with good spiritual roots can break through the bottleneck of practice or make progress in daily practice much faster than monks with poor spiritual roots. We The five of us have different spiritual root qualifications, but if you think about it, it seems that as long as the five of us have made breakthroughs in cultivation since we entered the sect, they have almost always happened at the same time. It stands to reason that Brother Lu should be the fastest, followed by Sister Yan. , and I am the slowest, but the five of us have always achieved breakthroughs in cultivation at the same time. Girl Tang has asked me this question several times, and now I may know why!"
"Why?" Tang Ping asked, and the others looked at Qian Chao intently.
Qian Chao said:
"Of course I have an inference in my mind that I don't know is right or wrong. According to my inference... I have been taking advantage of everyone in my practice in the past few years!"
