"Brother Zhao, where are we?"
Lin Qingmu lay on Jiang Li's shoulder, her mouth opened, and she looked around in shock.
The valley is shrouded in clouds and mist, with lush vegetation, and two-thirds of the area is occupied by lakes. Thin white mist ripples on the water. It is quiet and peaceful, like a fairyland on earth, a paradise.
She fled with Jiang Li all the way, always between shock and fear. Until now, she still felt like a dream.
"Gudu Gudu"
Jiang Li put down Lin Qingmu and looked at the terrain around the valley. The center of the lake suddenly surged, and bubbles flew out from the bottom of the lake, as if it was boiling.
Immediately, a cyan figure emerged from the bottom of the lake and floated on the surface of the lake. A trace of blood flowed out and spread into the lake. Immediately, several huge creatures swam from all directions.
"Why was she hurt so badly?"
Jiang Li recognized at a glance that the figure emerging from the bottom of the lake was the Mo family woman who had been chasing her all the way.
It's just that the two magical powers he just activated, although they are very powerful and can be multiplied by the power of water, are still limited. It is already very difficult to trap Shangguan Qingyan, and it is impossible to hurt her like this.
Unless another strong person appears.
Jiang Li thought of the mysterious force that pulled the strong bow in the ruins and dense forest.
"Qijuan Yunshu!"
Jiang Li separated a stream of zhenqi and flew into the water, rolled up Shangguan Qingyan and brought her to the shore.
"Thump thump thump"
In the lake, several large one-horned fish with a length of several meters jumped out of the water, grinning and looking fiercely, obviously very dissatisfied with Jiang Li's actions.
"Brother Zhao, why did you save her?"
Lin Qingmu looked at Shangguan Qingyan, who was pale and angry, with deep hatred bursting out of her beautiful eyes.
If it weren't for the Mo family, why would we be in this situation now.
The escort team is scattered, life and death are unknown, the escort cargo has been destroyed, how will the escort agency gain a foothold in the future!
"I didn't want to save her, but she was injured strangely. The forces wandering around are unknown to us and we are enemies. Keeping her alive may be of some use!"
Jiang Li walked closer and felt Shangguan Qingyan's pulse, his expression changing slightly.
Shangguan Qingyan's internal organs were severely injured, her injuries were extremely serious, and her life was in danger. Several violent qi collided wantonly in her body, constantly destroying her body's tissues and preventing her body from repairing itself.
"The one who hurt her was actually a Qi pulse master!"
Jiang Li frowned. The zhenqi circulating in Shangguan Qingyan's body was of an extremely high level. She was at least at the peak of the Xiang Realm, and was probably even a junior master of the Qi Transformation Realm.
The inheritance of Qi channels is incomplete, and the higher the realm, the greater the damage to the vitality of the five internal organs. Although there are many practitioners, those above the Qi realm are very rare.
Once you enter this realm, even if you take precious medicine to nourish the vitality of the five internal organs, it will be difficult to live beyond the age of thirty-five.
Many talented Qi cultivators will take the initiative to suppress their realm and will not take the initiative to break through it unless absolutely necessary.
Jiang Li first dragged Shangguan Qingyan behind the lake shore to prevent the strange fish in the lake from leaping onto the lake shore to eat people.
"Nine breaths convinced!"
Jiang Li held Shangguan Qingyan's jade hand and used his magical power. Countless Yuan Qi came from all directions, merged into the body, and entered the latter's body along the meridians to help suppress his injuries and repair his body.
Since it is not his own body, the effectiveness of Nine Breaths Subdued Qi is greatly reduced, and he cannot completely repair Shangguan Qingyan's injured body. He can only remove the overbearing collision energy in her body to suppress the injuries and save her life.
After doing this, Jiang Li stood up and walked deep into the river bank with Lin Qingmu.
The valley is lush with vegetation, including vintage medicinal herbs and exotic fruit trees. The aroma is rich and assails his nostrils. Walking in it, just breathing, Jiang Li can feel the cheers of the cell particles in his body, and his spirit becomes strong.
Jiang Li didn't recognize most of these medicinal herbs and fruit trees. The few medicinal herbs that could be named were somewhat different from those recorded in the book, and their age was far beyond the upper limit for such medicinal herbs.
There is also a thick layer of fertilizer accumulated on the land, all of which are medicinal materials. After the fruit trees bloom and bear fruit, the pulp matures and falls to the ground, rotting into mud.
Just dig out a shovel, and the rich medicinal power and innate energy contained in it is enough to rival most of the precious medicines sold in Shengjing City Pharmacy.
Before he even walked around the entire river bank, Jiang Li knew that the treasures contained here were astonishing.
Deep in the valley, there is a small house made of jade. Under the light of the clouds above, the crystal jade is like a treasure in the world, just like the lake in the valley, giving people an extremely pure and wonderful atmosphere that is not stained by the world. .
Jiang Li approached slowly and was even more surprised to find that the soil under his feet within a radius of three to four hundred meters of the jade hut was extremely pure.
It is obviously made of a mixture of various substances, but it does not contain a trace of impurities or dust!
Jiang Li was surprised by this feeling and continued to walk forward.
When the sole of his foot fell within two hundred meters of the jade hut, his clothes, cloth shoes and even his hair suddenly erupted in puffs of dust and smoke.
But it was the dust, dirt, and blood stains on his body during the escape.
Jiang Li received literary Qi infusion in the Confucian Temple and obtained a literary position. Literary Qi lingered around him, and he was accompanied by many mysterious Confucianism, Taoism and supernatural talents. He was not stained by dust. All dust and dirt would be blocked by Literary Qi.
After he left Shengjing, in order to hide his identity, he kept his literary aura hidden and his magical powers restrained. At this time, he did not let go of the restraints. The dust on his body unexpectedly rose up and flew away automatically. It must be related to the hut in front of him.
The same was true for Lin Qingmu, her clothes and hair erupted in puffs of dust and drifted back. The girl was so shocked that she stood motionless and stood there blankly.
After a while, he blushed and said, "Brother Zhao, I'm not dirty. I bathe often..."
As if realizing that his words were a bit "explicit", his voice became softer.
She quietly raised her head and looked at Jiang Li, her voice as thin as a mosquito's fly, and she paused suddenly.
The dust on their bodies dissipated, and both of them looked brand new, even fresher, more natural, pure and transparent than after taking a bath.
The blood stains, dirt, and soil on Jiang Li's face and clothes disappeared, revealing his original appearance.
He is as handsome as a jade, with clear eyebrows and facial features, a pair of eyes that contain a sea of stars, and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. His black hair is gently blowing in the wind, as if he is a young girl in a deep boudoir. The handsome young man and handsome young man emerge from the painting book.
Lin Qingmu was entranced for a moment, and her eyes gradually became blurred.
"Bi Chen, this is the function of Bi Chen. There may be some kind of opportunity hidden in the Jade House!"
Jiang Li swayed and stepped in front of the jade house. He held the knife against the jade door and pushed it gently. The scene inside was clearly displayed.
A jade bed, a jade bucket, a futon, and nothing else.
His mental power left his body and he scanned every corner of the hut. When he saw nothing unusual, Jiang Li stepped in.
The air here is fresher and clearer. Between breaths, it seems that the impurities present in the physical body are exhaled, the lungs are clear, and the nose and airways become more refreshing.
He walked to the jade bucket and found that it contained more than half of the bucket of clean water.
The water quality is crystal clear, flawless and dust-free, just like beautiful jade.
There is a kind of clarity that is not stained by the world.
"The jade bucket should be a magic weapon!"
Jiang Li focused his eyes and saw Yuan Qi existing in a very special form around the jade barrel, constantly flowing along fixed lines.
There are extremely weak and tiny water molecules. In this Yuan Qi operation cycle, they are constantly extracted from the surrounding air water vapor, purified and transformed.
At this rate, it would take at least three to five days to condense each drop.
It would take hundreds or even thousands of years to accumulate the current stock of jade barrels, which is simply impossible.
Jiang Li separated a ray of true energy, poured out a small amount of water and drank it.
As soon as this jade-like clear water entered the body, it turned into a clear mist, pounced on his flesh and blood, soaked in it, and carried a magical aura that could make his soul feel cool.
The next moment, some of the deeply hidden impurities in his bones, flesh and blood, meridians, nerves, skin, and hair were purified and decomposed by the water mist, turning into countless tiny dusts that flew out of the pores of his body and dispersed in the wind.
"What kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure is this? It can actually remove all the dust and impurities that exist in my body!"
Jiang Li was shocked, and the surprise in his eyes was ready to come out.
His physical body has been tempered and washed by the Nine-turn Great Return Pill of Amituo Temple, and has been reborn. He also has two top body-refining techniques in the world: Yi Jin Marrow Cleansing and Taiyan Ancient Demon Body Refining Chapter.
Instilling Wenqi into the body and practicing the Taiqing Yuandao-Golden Light Pillar Heaven-Bearing Technique also purified his physical body.
It is no exaggeration to say that the purity of his body ranks first among the Martial Saints.
But even so, a mouthful of jade water can remove the impurities hidden in the deepest parts of the body.
This heaven-defying effect is unheard of.
People who eat whole grains and various meats and poultry will accumulate a lot of impurities in their bodies over time.
In addition to strengthening the physical body, martial art body refining is also a process of constantly quenching impurities from the body.
It's just that the realms are high and low, the techniques are uneven, and the degree of tempering the impurities in the body is different.
Generally speaking, the fewer impurities in the body, the greater the speed and potential of physical body improvement.
Until the body is sanctified and has no stains or stains!
"With the removal of physical impurities, the strength of the physical body will slightly decrease, but it is a better opportunity for me to practice. If I can continuously replenish the physical body during this process, not only will my strength be improved quickly, but my martial arts foundation will also be strengthened. solid!"
Jiang Li was overjoyed. Although he did not bring too many precious medicines or secret medicines when he left Beijing this time, the old herbs and rare and exotic fruits everywhere in the valley could be picked and consumed at will. The big fish with silver scales in the lake also It can provide him with a source of meat.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty's offensive against Beimang will not start in about a month. The dangers outside are unknown. I can take this opportunity to concentrate on practicing here, and strive to enter Beimang and advance to the seventh realm of martial arts!"
Xumijie flashed his light, put away the jade bucket, and Jiang Li walked towards the jade bed and futon.
These two things are not ordinary.
The jade bed has its own warmth. Lying on it and resting can speed up blood circulation, and the vital energy can penetrate into the physical body and strengthen the qi and blood.
The physical enhancement effect brought by one night, depending on the martial artist's realm, can at most be comparable to the effect of one day's training by a giant martial artist.
Although the effect is not great for Jiang Li, if it is used for many years, it will also be a huge opportunity and improvement.
The futon is made of the roots and leaves of an unknown plant. It has a calming effect and can play a small role in increasing the cultivation of Tao channels.
If a child with ordinary talents has the help of these two artifacts, the result of ten years of practice will not be much inferior to that of a genius.
The value is inestimable.
It's a pity that the jade bed is too big and the Xumi Ring can't bear it at all.
Considering that he would have to live here for a while, Jiang Li didn't move any more things.
He walked out of the jade room, and Lin Qingmu still stood there with a blushing face.
"Miss Lin, the danger outside is unknown. We may stay here for a while. When we leave Lishan, I will find a mansion to help you solve the problem of the bodyguards being damaged!"
"Um!"
Lin Qingmu nodded. Although she was also worried about the safety of Uncle Jiu and the Zhenwei escorts, people from the Mo family were still searching outside, and there were unknown forces lurking around. Once they went out, it would be very dangerous.
Jiang Li walked into the forest, collected some hay, spread it on the floor of the jade house, and placed the unconscious Shangguan Qingyan on the weeds to rest.
"Brother Zhao, I picked some fruits. I have tasted them. They are not poisonous!"
Lin Qingmu walked into the jade house holding a lot of fresh and tender fruits, and looked around curiously.
Jiang Li took a few small red fruits and took a bite. The juice overflowed, and his mouth and tongue were fragrant. There was also a faint warmth flowing into his abdomen and running along his limbs and bones all over his body.
The slight emptiness created by the removal of impurities from the physical body is immediately filled with the essence contained in the fruit.
"Brother Zhao, although this fruit is not poisonous, it always tastes weird when you eat it. Your body feels a little warm, and it seems that the blood circulation speed has increased a lot!" Lin Qingmu was a little confused.
She even had the "illusion" that eating a piece of fruit would not only satisfy her hunger, but also bring benefits that were even comparable to her hard training for a day or two.
"This valley should be a secret realm left over from the Middle Ages. The air is full of energy. Fruit trees and herbs grow in this environment all year round, transforming and containing purer essence!"
Jiang Li walked outside the house and broke off a branch from the tree nearby. "It's an opportunity for you to come here. If you can use it properly, it is not impossible for the martial arts realm to reach the level of giants and innates in the future. I There is a set of sword techniques and a body tempering technique passed down to me, both of which come from the "Arsenal" book of the Zhou royal family, you must memorize it firmly!"
Jiang Li moved his figure, and a set of light and delicate sword techniques were displayed in his hands, and he explained in detail the various power skills and changes contained in it.
Although the encounter of Zhenwei Escort was caused by the Mo family and mysterious forces, it was also related to Jiang Li's incitement of the Demon Sword to massacre people.
He passed down Lin Qingmu's sword skills and techniques as compensation and settled the cause and effect.
"What an exquisite swordsmanship!"
Lin Qingmu opened her eyes wide and concentrated, listening and seeing every word in her heart.
She had been practicing the sword skills passed down from her family since she was a child, but compared to the sword skills Jiang Li was performing at the moment, they didn't even seem to count as sword moves.
She had never imagined that swordsmanship could have such exquisite techniques and endless variations.
She even had a vague feeling that as long as she learned this set of swordsmanship and had the strength of the Jiao Martial Realm, she could easily force her father back.
"This sword technique is called "Exquisite Spin Sword". It is best at close combat and unpredictable. I will teach you the body tempering technique "Feathered Serpent Soft Body Strength", and it will all be first-class!"
Jiang Li came to Lin Qingmu and taught him the essence of the feathered snake's soft body strength technique step by step.
"Brother Zhao, who are you? I heard from my father and uncles that the royal family's "Arsenal" contains the martial arts inherited by the sects and families of the seven countries that were destroyed in the troubled times. They are all first-class magical skills, and only rewards are given. There are very few rumors about high-ranking officials and generals above the third rank of the imperial court!"
Lin Qingmu's eyes were sparkling, flashing with disbelief.
The techniques passed down in the Zhenwei Escort Bureau are almost all ordinary techniques that are not popular. Even my father and uncles only have two third-class techniques with them, and they learned them from the sect.
First-class skill?
I don’t even dare to ask for it in my dreams!
If you get one, you are expected to become one of the best escort agencies in the county.
"Silly girl, you still can't guess his true identity!"
A weak female voice came from behind. Shangguan Qingyan woke up at some point. Her face was as pale as paper. She stood holding the door, swaying, and could faint at any time.
"Brother Zhao, the bad woman wakes up!"
Lin Qingmu was slightly startled. She held the branch in her hand and stared at Shangguan Qingyan warily.
"Don't be so nervous. Now a child who has never practiced martial arts can easily kill me!"
Shangguan Qingyan shook her head weakly and said with a wry smile: "What's more, here is the disciple of the saint, the son of Marquis Wu, who has a military crown and is able to suppress the top ten in martial arts!"
"Disciple of the saint?"
Lin Qingmu seemed to be startled, and immediately looked at Jiang Li. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she was stunned for a moment. Then she suddenly woke up: "Brother Zhao is Jiang Li? Yes, I should have thought a long time ago that there is only the son of Marquis Wu in this world. , to have such strength.”
Recalling the experience of getting acquainted with Jiang Li, the girl's mind was filled with chaos, and she felt that everything was like a dream.
A person who should only exist in the sky actually appeared in front of him?
"You woke up earlier than I expected!"
Jiang Li was a little surprised. Shangguan Qingyan was seriously injured. All the internal organs were displaced, and there were many cracks in the bones. The meridians and muscles were also severely damaged. Normally, she would have to be comatose for at least a day or two before she could survive. wake.
"The Yuan Qi energy here is abundant and nourishes the soul, allowing me to wake up early, but the injuries within my body are still in chaos!"
Shangguan Qingyan looked at the surrounding valley in surprise, and was also shocked by such a paradise. After a long time, she came back to her senses and asked in confusion: "Why did you save me?"
"Because the person who hurt you is very strong, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to deal with it on my own!" Jiang Li did not hide his intentions.
"I have met many children of aristocratic families, but it is rare to find someone as frank as you!"
Shangguan Qingyan nodded and sighed helplessly: "If you are a sanctimonious person, you will still be the first person I want to kill when I recover from my injuries, but now it's a bit difficult."
"It doesn't matter. You can take action after you recover. Since I dare to save you, I'm not afraid that you will become ruthless!"
Jiang Li smiled lightly.
It's not that he didn't have the means to kill Shangguan Qingyan before, but the price he needed to pay was too high.
Once the seven nail-headed arrows are used, at least seven ghost thoughts will be consumed.
It was difficult for him to bear such a price.
However, Shangguan Qingyan's injury was serious. Even in this valley, it would take at least more than a month to recover.
Jiang Li was confident that he could break through the seventh realm of martial arts before Shangguan Qingyan recovered from her injuries. With the help of many magical means, it would not be difficult to protect herself.
"How arrogant!"
Shangguan Qingyan sneered when she heard the sound, turned around and walked back to the jade hut. She only said one sentence coldly: "When you and I leave the valley, I will give you three hours to escape, and I will repay your kindness for saving my life!"
"Easy to say!"
Jiang Li nodded. He looked at Shangguan Qingyan's back as she moved towards the jade bed and said, "You sleep on the floor. I left the jade bed for Miss Lin to practice!"
"..."
Shangguan Qingyan's back suddenly stiffened, as if frozen. After a while, she straightened up slightly and slowly moved to the haystack on the side.
"Also, you are not allowed to use the medicinal materials and exotic fruits in the valley at will. I will ask Miss Lin to send you what you need every day!"
Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "If nothing happens, don't come out at will. As a prisoner, you should have the consciousness of a prisoner!"
"..."
Shangguan Qingyan's back suddenly froze again, and this time even Lin Qingmu felt the fierce murderous aura rising from the former's body.
"Jiang Li, I take back the promise I just made. I will kill you as soon as you leave the valley!" Shangguan Qingyan gritted her teeth and squeezed out her voice with difficulty.
"It's easy to say!" Jiang Li nodded: "I didn't have any hope in your promise!"
"puff"
In the jade hut, Shangguan Qingshu spurted out a mouthful of blood, his delicate body swayed weakly, and he fell down on the haystack.
"She won't be angry to death!" Lin Qingmu was worried.
"No, the eighth level martial artist is not that fragile!"
Jiang Li shook his head and warned: "These days, you have to practice hard and help me keep an eye on her. She must not be allowed to pick herbs and fruits by herself. The progress of her injury recovery must be in our hands!"
"Brother Jiang Li, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on her!"
Lin Qingmu waved the branch in his hand and nodded seriously.
For the next few days, the three of them stayed in the valley.
Jiang Li takes mysterious jade water every day to wash away impurities in the body, and swallows the medicinal materials and fruits in the valley to supplement the needs of the body.
Refining Qi in the morning, practicing martial arts during the day, and practicing Taoism at night are very fulfilling.
He continued to take jade water, and the impurities in his body became less and less. His body was crystal clear and emitted pure rays of light.
On the seventh day, no impurities were removed from the body, and the body was pure without a trace of impurities, almost comparable to that of a martial saint.
Not only has the realm of martial arts been raised to the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, but the speed of martial arts advancement and physical strength have also been greatly improved.
Jiang Li roughly estimated that his physical strength was no less than that of an average martial artist in the Ten Thousand Realm realm, or even slightly stronger.
Lin Qingmu's martial arts realm was low, but his improvement was even more obvious. On the fifth day after entering the valley, he successfully broke through and advanced to the dragon martial realm.
At least one year earlier than normal practice.
"Although the medicinal materials and exotic fruits in the valley contain majestic and exquisite medicinal power, if you want to break through the seventh level of martial arts in twenty days, it is still far from enough. Only eating meat can increase the physical strength faster!"
In the early morning of the eighth day, Jiang Li stood on the edge of the lake shore, holding a horizontal knife, looking at the giant beast swimming in the lake, eager to try.
