Li Xiuwu couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart and quietly handed over the spirit stones to the maid of Izumo Pavilion. He also specially gave the maid a reward of fifty spirit stones, which made the maid blush and thank him.
It's not easy to get a reward from the Marshal's Mansion.
What's more, the person who came was Huangfu Qingmei, whom everyone feared.
Huangfu Qingmei reached out and picked up a fairy spirit stone from the wooden box, held it in her hand and began to comprehend it quietly. It was not until half a quarter of an hour passed that she looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "You are sick!"
Ximen Xiaoyu also tried to take one and played with it in his hand. After a while, he threw it to Li Xiuyuan in disgust: "You are really crazy!"
Ximen Lone Star looked at himself and said, "Now that it's over, let's go back. We've been out for several hours, and it's time to eat."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled: "The only regret today is that I didn't buy the thousand-year-old elixir. It seems that you and the princess have to find a way. I have no chance."
All the spiritual stones he had earned from selling wine in Ding'an City were spent all at once, and he became a complete poor man again.
Huangfu Qingmei stood up and walked out, saying, "I'll figure this out. My parents should have some elixirs in their collection. It shouldn't be a problem for her to give me one or two."
"If there's medicine, there's wine!" Li Xiuyuan followed her downstairs, reached out and patted Ximen Lone Star on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be impatient."
There are about fifty pieces of spiritual stones in the wooden box, plus the remaining forty pieces, I think I can break through to the late stage of breaking the void, maybe all the way to the cave.
At least for the next ten years, he won't have to worry about this fairy stone anymore.
After all, breaking through the realm doesn't happen overnight. Even if he has the Immortal Spirit Stone, he still has to practice step by step without being lazy at all. Unlike Huangfu Qingmei and others, who can break through the realm after just a few glasses of wine.
The four of them walked and chatted, and soon returned to the Marshal's Mansion.
Li Xiuyuan had a tasteless lunch in a hurry, then said goodbye to Huangfu Qingmei and Ximen Lone Star, saying that he had been working too hard these days and wanted to go back to the house to rest.
Wang Lianhua and Zhuang Waner sympathized with him and asked him to go back to the house early.
Only Ximen Lone Star didn't believe it, and Ximen Xiaoyu also looked at him suspiciously.
Huangfu Qingmei glared at the two of them and said with a smile: "You are still afraid that he will not be able to fly into the sky. His wine shop is still in Ding'an City."
This obviously means that a monk can run away but cannot run away from the temple.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and ignored the three of them. After saying goodbye to Zhuang Waner and Wang Lianhua, he walked towards the flower hall. He was anxious to go back and study the fairy spirit stone he had just obtained.
You have to refine at least one piece of it, otherwise you will always feel uneasy.
Pretending to be calm, he hummed a little tune and returned to his residence. As soon as he entered, he locked the door tightly and put a rune on the door to prevent sudden disturbance.
He took out the photographed wooden box and put it on the table and counted it carefully. There were fifty-seven pieces in total. Including the remaining spiritual stones from before, there were a total of one hundred and three immortal spiritual stones.
Taking a deep breath, he thought to himself that he would have to buy these things back even for fifty thousand or five hundred thousand, not to mention five thousand spirit stones.
Taking out a spiritual stone in his hand and putting the wooden box away, Li Xiuyuan sat on the bed in a cross-legged posture.
Ever since he left the Wangyue Stream in the mountains behind the academy, he had forgotten the aura of the Immortal Spiritual Stone. He didn't even practice the Taixuan Sutra, for fear that his cyan energy would cause misunderstandings.
It would be very troublesome to study oneself as an alien.
It is related to rising and falling, and Dazhen is connected.
Longitude means south and north, and latitude means west and east.
While patrolling Liujia, they encountered each other in a fight. The calendar is used to record the years, and the time of the hundred grains is Yong.
...
While running the Taixuan Sutra, he quietly gathered the blue fairy spirit energy transformed from the fairy spirit stone in his hand into his Dantian.
At this time, the Dantian was like a field that had been dry for a long time but was finally raining. He was desperately trying to eat away the green fairy spirit energy in his hand into his body. For a while, there was a slight flow of air flowing in his hand.
After sitting down for an hour, under the impact of the powerful immortal spiritual energy, the true energy in the Dantian rushed into the meridians of the limbs.
The immortal spiritual energy in Li Xiuyuan's body was like a mountain torrent, washing the muscles and veins in his body over and over again.
And the black and white spiritual energy in his eyes was not willing to be lonely. It penetrated from his eyes into his Dantian and kept rolling.
It seems that the current fairy energy is also their favorite food. After all, after Li Xiuyuan left the Great Wall, they can no longer absorb the yin and yang energy between heaven and earth from the Sky Tower.
But now, a burst of spiritual energy finally came in and became their food.
Li Xiuyuan, who was still slightly awake, sighed, thinking that I had forgotten you two little things.
As a last resort, he took another piece of fairy stone and held it in his left hand, one in each hand, and quietly started refining it.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Li Xiuyuan fell into a state of forgetfulness about things and myself, no longer caring about everything happening around him.
With his mind calm, he quietly felt the powerful fairy aura in his body and the black and white aura transformed by the dragon.
Over and over again, yin and yang accompany each other, and the spiritual energy rolls.
At this moment, two-thirds of Li Xiuyuan's Dantian was cyan spiritual energy, and one-third was the yin and yang power of heaven and earth transformed by black and white true energy.
This true energy turned into a kind of breath that was different from any other in the world, and pulsed towards the twelve major meridians of his body with surging momentum.
It passes through the Ren meridian and then travels all the way to the Du meridian.
Quietly comprehending the changes brought about by the different Qi in the meridians, he found that the black and white spiritual Qi in Ren Duer's fat also surged faster in an instant, and with a cry, it went back into his eyes.
There was a blue true cyclone nest with black power above his head, which emitted a dazzling light and turned into a stream of air that merged into the top of his head.
"not good!"
Li Xiuyuan, who was in trance, opened his eyes and thought that he could not break through here no matter what. Who knew if changing the place would cause thunder disaster?
If Huangfu Qingmei knew that her breakthrough to the first level would also lead to a thunderstorm... and there would be cave masters like Zhuang Wan'er and Wang Lianhua.
Li Xiuyuan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He sighed softly and stopped the circulation of Qi in his body. Walking to the table, he picked up a pen and left a message to Ximen Guxing and others. He wanted to leave alone first and go to find an uninhabited place in the wilderness.
Break through the realm and overcome the tribulation!
"I was still careless. I should have endured it for a few more days." Li Xiuyuan thought that when he saw this fairy spirit stone, he could not help but want to take a bite like a child seeing candy, but he got into trouble.
He left a few words in a hurry, telling them that he had to return to Ding'an City beforehand, and asked them to come back and get together after they found the elixir. After all, we have to wait until next spring to make wine, so there is still a lot of time.
...
Li Xiuyuan, who had left the Generalissimo's Mansion all the way, came to the city to buy a wildebeest and food. Taking advantage of the good weather, he ran all the way south. He wanted to find a deserted mountain range before dark.
Traveling along the way, this time he came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He didn't take a closer look at the scenery of Bianfu City, which made Li Xiuyuan feel a little regretful.
However, something happened that he didn't expect.
It was obvious that the Mid-Autumn Festival had only passed a few days, but in Fucheng, which was close to the far north, there were snowflakes flying on the wild land, suddenly slowing down the speed of the wildebeests.
Even guys with extraordinary endurance like wildebeests need to rest. After running for an hour or two, they have to stop to drink water and rest for half an hour before they have the strength to continue moving forward.
Li Xiu Mei, who was in the wilderness, had no intention of watching the snow and the scenery at the moment. He clearly felt that the energy in his meridians was flowing faster and faster, and he was about to lose control before he saw it.
But his confidence is getting stronger and stronger. Since he accidentally refined the Immortal Spirit Stone, he is ready to complete the breakthrough whether he finds a hidden mountain range or in this wasteland.
There must be a gathering of powerful people in the wasteland now, because an auction has just been held, and the practitioners from all over the country who left early are probably walking in this vast wasteland.
Now Xiuyuan is walking on autumn grass into the wilderness, and coming up with different ways to deal with different situations.
After running around like this for a day, I found an abandoned and empty wooden shed and spent the night. As soon as it got light, I got up and fed the wildebeests. I also ate some dry food.
There is already snow on the wasteland, and the ground looks very clean. He reached into the air and sensed it, thinking that the north wind near Fucheng was also so strong, and he didn't know how the people living there got used to it.
In comparison, Ding'an City was much warmer, although he had not spent the winter in Ding'an City yet.
While he was deep in thought, there was suddenly a neighing of wildebeest in the wind, and there seemed to be quite a few wildebeests running in his direction.
It feels wonderful to be in the wilderness. Could it be that someone is thinking about me? It seemed that we really shouldn’t have rested here last night. We should have continued walking a few hundred miles in the dark.
Astride the wildebeest, Li Xiuyuan's vision became much wider, and he could clearly see the movement behind him.
I saw a monk riding a horse not far from him, and behind him there were more than thirty night monks also riding on wildebeests, coming to Li Xiuyuan to pat the horse.
Li Xiuyuan was shocked. Naturally, he would not stay and wait for death. He patted the wildebeest hard and heard the horses neighing and kicking their hooves forward. One person and one horse ran forward.
If I had known that I would be missed, it would be better to stay in the Marshal's Mansion to break through the situation, and finally let Huangfu Qingmei and others know some of my little secrets. Compared with the matter between life and death in front of me, it is really nothing.
The smart wildebeest seemed to sense the danger behind it, and ran faster and faster. However, in less than half an hour, a stretching mountain range appeared in front of Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
God helps me!
Compared with the group of people behind him, Li Xiuyuan did not dare to keep running for his life in the wilderness. That would be asking for death, because he only had one wildebeest.
Fighting a horse into the mountains is his only chance of survival at the moment.
Running wildly all the way, one person and one horse rushed into the barren mountain in front of them at lightning speed.
The stretching mountain range in front of him was only in the shape of hills, with no tall peaks. It was convenient for Li Xiuyuan to ride on his horse and gallop through the mountains for a while.
When the road ahead was over, Li Xiuyuan jumped off the horse and let go of the reins. Li Xiuyuan patted the horse gently and said, "Go ahead and play for a while, and I'll deal with them."
The smart horse seemed to understand Li Xiuyuan's words. It let out a long roar and ran forward with its hooves, disappearing from his eyes after a while.
After letting the horse go, Li Xiuyuan took out the iron sword, held it behind his back, and then quietly looked at the group of black-clothed monks who were gradually chasing after him.
Not far in front of him, he saw an ascetic monk riding on a horse, leading more than thirty monks in black to slowly approach Li Xiuyuan.
I saw the monk on the horse with bare feet, holding the reins in his left hand, an iron staff in his right hand, and a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck.
The ascetic monk on the horse looked at Li Xiuyuan who was standing in the middle of the mountain road. He slowly dismounted and adjusted his wind-stained monk robes. His face covered with years of wind and frost was cold and emotionless.
"Foyun monks are compassionate. Monk, if you don't practice in the temple, why are you chasing me so hard as a passerby?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the ascetic monk who let go of the reins and came over and said coldly.
The ascetic monk glanced at Li Xiuyuan and replied quietly: "The monk received charity from someone and wants to come here to take your life."
