In order to allow Shao Xi to practice in Xingyuetan with peace of mind these two days, Cheng Baiqiu specially ordered that the disciples in the pavilion should not go to Xingyuetan for three days to practice.
Originally, the disciples of Wangshu Pavilion had to greet Cheng Baiqiu every time they practiced, but now they were directly prohibited from going to Xingyue Lake for three days. The disciples in the pavilion did not dare to ask any questions, so they just practiced at the foot of the mountain obediently.
Now Shao Xi couldn't wait any longer. He was going to Xingyue Lake again that afternoon. Cheng Baiqiu originally advised him not to be in such a hurry and wait until nightfall before going, but Shao Xi was afraid that the power of the Cangxuan Pill in his body would be wasted, so Negotiate again and again.
Cheng Baiqiu originally wanted to help Shao Xi break through as soon as possible and fulfill his wish, but he didn't want to spend less time with Shao Xi in this way. Although he was unwilling to do so, he thought of Shao Xi's urgent mood at this time. He understood, so he nodded and agreed to Shao Xi's request.
Shao Xi ignored Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er and hurried towards Xingyuetan alone. Cheng Baiqiu watched Shao Xi's disappearing figure with various feelings in his heart.
Shao Xi ran all the way to Xingyue Lake. When he came to the lake, he suddenly remembered everything that happened here before noon. For a moment, he couldn't control his blushing and heartbeat. Cheng Baiqiu's graceful figure kept appearing in his mind. , which made Shao Xi a little confused for a while.
Shao Xi shook his head quickly, took the pool water and splashed it on his face desperately to calm down as quickly as possible. Now was the critical period for breakthrough. If these distracting thoughts interfered with his cultivation at this time, it would really be a disaster. All previous efforts were wasted.
After some efforts to calm down, Shao Xi took off his robe again, wore his underwear and got into the star pool. Finally, he did not forget to turn his head and look at the moon pool next door, where Cheng Baiqiu practiced in the morning. place.
Concentrating his energy and energy, Shao Xi quickly entered a state of cultivation. The medicinal power of Cangxuan Pill was still there. Shao Xi circulated his meridians to keep the energy of the meridians in his body moving forward. However, the medicinal power of Cangxuan Pill was still strong, urging him to The Qi that moves the meridians in the body continues to grow.
At this time, Shao Xi's inner meridians had clearly felt that he was about to reach the critical point of the seventh star position, and the breakthrough would only be within two days.
After practicing like this until late at night, Shao Xi finally began to feel a little hungry, so he stopped practicing and climbed to the shore. Wearing a robe, he took out two cakes from the package he brought and stuffed them into his mouth. While eating, he recalled everything that happened during the day. .
As the pavilion master of Wangshu Pavilion on Yingyue Island, Cheng Baiqiu was pure and pure, extremely holy, and inviolable in the eyes of everyone, but he didn't want to be inexplicably seen through by him.
Although it was a man's nature to just look at a woman's body, Shao Xi always felt that this incident was a sign of disrespect to Cheng Baiqiu.
Putting aside all other factors, as far as Cheng Baiqiu is concerned, such a clear and elegant woman should not have been treated like this, but she didn't even have a chance to apologize.
To be fair, Shao Xi admires Cheng Baiqiu's beauty very much, and even covets her beauty in his heart. However, from a moral and conscience point of view, it is a big mistake to do such a thing to the other party when there is no possibility of any outcome between the two parties. wrong.
Although Shao Xi has always felt that he is not a gentleman, what he did today is indeed the behavior of a villain. Shao Xi never dreamed that this kind of peeping behavior would happen to him one day. At this time, Shao Xi felt in his heart I feel very guilty towards Cheng Baiqiu.
But this matter cannot be made public, or even let her know, otherwise the relationship between the two will become even more embarrassing.
never mind! If he couldn't figure it out, he just stopped thinking about it. Shao Xi finished the cake in his hand in three mouthfuls and returned to the pool to continue practicing.
This time the practice was not interrupted again, and continued until noon on the second day. Shao Xi felt that he should go back and take a look anyway.
After all, he was leaving the island tomorrow. It would be unreasonable if he was just preoccupied with his cultivation without meeting Cheng Baiqiu before leaving. He had to go back for lunch anyway.
So Shao Xi put on his clothes and returned to Xiyue Pavilion. He saw Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er devouring lunch. The two of them were very tired from the recent practice, but fortunately they were making good progress.
Wu Qiu'er has almost completely mastered the shooting star and the moon. All that's left is further practice to make the hammering technique more proficient. The most surprising thing is Lao Wu. This old guy has gradually mastered Xiyue since he learned it in Wulong Mountain. I began to feel dissatisfied with the mentality I bought with five copper coins. I spent about half of this month cursing and cursing the liar.
But after so many years, it’s too late to start practicing the mind method again. Fortunately, the water of Luoxing River has the effect of improving the sea of qi. After this month of hard training, the sea of qi in Lao Wu’s body has also increased, and now he is about to break through. It has reached the "Qi Control Realm".
This incident made Shao Xi feel a big surprise. It was already the limit for him to be able to get around at the peak of the third level with Lao Wu's bad mental skills, but he didn't expect that five copper coins of mental skills could actually break through into "Qi Control". Realm", and according to Lao Wu, his breakthrough may be tonight.
Shao Xi thought to himself, isn't this a coincidence? He felt that his breakthrough might happen tonight. If that were the case, the old man and the young man would really have gained something from their trip to Yingyue Island.
Shao Xi looked around but couldn't see Cheng Baiqiu, so he asked Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er, "Why don't you see Miss Cheng? Isn't she here every day?"
Lao Wu was fighting for a piece of grilled fish with Wu Qiu'er. While stuffing the fish into his mouth, he raised his hand and waved it, saying that he would wait until he finished eating.
Shao Xi didn't have the patience, so he reached out and snatched the fish from Old Wu's hand, stuffing it into his mouth while staring at Old Wu.
When Lao Wu saw that the fish he had finally snatched from Wu Qiu'er fell into Shao Xi's hands, he looked unwilling. He stretched out his hand to snatch it back, but Shao Xi turned around and avoided Lao Wu.
With his mouth full of fish, he asked again vaguely, "Can't you hear what I'm asking you? Why did Miss Cheng go?"
Seeing that Shao Xi had almost eaten the fish, Old Wu looked distressed and sat down on the stone bench with his hands spread out.
"You ask me, who should I ask? She has been following you all day long, not me. Now that she can't be found, you ask me? I'm not responsible for keeping an eye on her for you. You have to look for yourself. Go find it.”
"Oh, you old guy! Your martial arts skills are a bit advanced and you still have a temper, right? Don't forget, who helped you solve your trouble? If you turn your back, you won't recognize anyone, right? Do you believe that I asked you to go to the Western Regions to eat sand alone? If I don’t give you money to buy a camel, it will be useless no matter how fast you run in the desert, you will just become a human."
When Lao Wu heard this, he lost his temper.
That's true. I haven't been doing my old job these years, and I don't have any capital. Now I rely on Shao Xi to make money to support myself.
Going to the Western Regions to find people is not as simple as you think. Even if you go with the camel caravans going to the Western Regions for business, it will cost a lot of money along the way. If Shao Xi doesn't pay him, he will really No way.
"Your Miss Cheng has gone down the mountain. I don't know what happened when she returned to Wangshu Pavilion in the front mountain. I don't know anything else. Don't bother me!"
After saying that, Lao Wu turned around and continued to grab the grilled fish with Wu Qiu'er.
Shao Xi saw that Lao Wu didn't know anything. He thought that there might be something in Wangshu Pavilion that Cheng Baiqiu needed to go back to deal with. Then he couldn't blame himself. He had gone down the mountain specifically just to meet her face to face so as not to appear rude. Now that he can't see her, he might as well return to Xingyuetan to practice.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi turned around and planned to go to Xingyuetan again. He had been practicing for nearly a day and a night from yesterday to now. There was still a day and a night left. During this time, he would see whether he could make a breakthrough.
Now the meridians have advanced to the critical point of the seventh star position. According to the current speed of cultivation, just a little more effort can make a breakthrough.
Time is really precious now, and we must seize it.
Just when Shao Xi turned around and was about to leave, he heard Cheng Baiqiu calling him, so he turned around and looked around, only to see Cheng Baiqiu coming from the direction of the front mountain.
After arriving in front of Shao Xi, Cheng Baiqiu handed something in his hand to Shao Xi.
Shao Xi took it in his hand and saw that it was a colorful stone tied into a necklace by a rope made of South China Sea shark tendon. The rope was slightly longer, and it seemed that the necklace was not suitable to be worn inside. Rather, it is more suitable to be hung outside the robe.
The stone was originally colorful and dazzling, and it looked very good hanging outside the robe, but it seemed more suitable for women to wear, but I don't know why Cheng Baiqiu gave herself such a feminine necklace as a gift?
It is said that Yingyue Island is full of treasures. If you really want to give yourself a gift, what should you give? It’s a bit shabby to have to give such a colorful stone necklace as a gift, isn’t it?
Cheng Baiqiu looked at Shao Xi's displeased expression and couldn't help but smile. Regardless of whether he wanted it or not, he took the necklace from his hand and put it around his neck.
"You actually dislike such beautiful stones? Do you still remember that I once told you that a few of the star colored stones in Luo Xinghe and Xingyue Lake contain huge mysterious power and have extraordinary effects on cultivation? Ordinary help? In the past hundred years, only two have been found on the island, and this is one of them. I give it to you today. From now on, I will no longer be the only one in the world who owns this star stone. "
Only then did Shao Xi know what Cheng Baiqiu gave him. It turned out to be one of the only two star stones that truly contain huge energy. This is the only treasure in the world!
Unexpectedly, Cheng Baiqiu gave it to herself as a gift, but it seemed that these things were a pair. What did she mean?
