"continue."
"You can start again."
"time is limited."
"Don't be stunned, I'm already awake, continue."
"..."
There was no sound, no conversation.
In this cramped cave deeply embedded in the mountain, the only sound was Xu Yuan's dull reminder every time he woke up from near death.
And every time Xu Yuan's voice sounded, he became weaker.
With Ran Qingmo waking Xu Yuan up from coma in advance, the time to wake up from near death was shortened from about two hours to less than half an hour.
By transferring Qigong to heal injuries, one can borrow the Qi of others to heal one's own body.
But the qi passed into the body by others is not one's own after all.
Every time you transfer Qigong to heal an injury, the Qi of others will leave some residue in your own meridians.
Given enough time, this is a good thing.
As you develop your own skills, you can refine the Qi that others have left in your body bit by bit and use it for your own use, improving your own cultivation.
However, too many times of Qi transfer and healing in a short period of time can cause qualitative changes in the Qi remaining in other people's bodies, causing an almost incurable hidden disease.
Ran Qingmo explained the pros and cons to Xu Yuan, but Xu Yuan didn't care.
It could shorten the time to near-death from two hours to half an hour, which was enough for him.
This is a good thing, it means that he will have more opportunities to adapt to the near-death state and make more preparations for the final practice of the Blood Yuan Heart Destruction Art.
Time passes quietly in this wandering of death again and again.
five times,
ten times,
twenty times,
Thirty times......
His consciousness kept reincarnating before the endless darkness of death, and Xu Yuan had forgotten how many times he had entered a state of near-death with her help.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Through the dim light emitted by the night pearls on the stone wall, what caught the eye was the woman's flawless face, as well as the thin ice on the surface of her body that exuded a cold air.
"Ran...Mr. Ran."
His voice was weak and trembling, but this also meant that Xu Yuan was able to stabilize his mind and even speak in such a near-death state.
Ran Qingmo looked up silently, with a somewhat complicated look in his quiet eyes:
"you say."
Xu Yuan, whose whole body was covered by ice crystals, tried hard to keep his voice steady:
"How long will it take for the formations from the outside world to disappear?"
Ran Qingmo closed her eyes and sensed it. After a while, she whispered:
"About two days left."
"Two days left..."
Xu Yuan sighed slightly.
Time was still too tight. Even if he risked his life regardless of his physical illness, it still took him about three days to complete the third step.
Although there is not much time left, rushing will not play any role. Preparations must be done, even if only once.
Moreover, Xu Yuan believed that after the eldest son of the prime minister noticed that he was practicing cultivation, he would not risk his brother going crazy and forcefully break through the wall.
At this point, he can only gamble.
After a long silence, Xu Yuanfang said tremblingly:
"The next day, I...I will start to run the technique. If it goes too far, just...please."
Ran Qingmo nodded silently.
Looking at her solemn eyes, Xu Yuan smiled softly:
"Mr. Ran... I will officially start practicing in one day, remember to remind me."
"okay."
...
...
The first time he practiced martial arts while near death was much more difficult than Xu Yuan expected.
It was not because his consciousness could not be condensed, but because there was too much Yuan Qi left in his body by Ran Qingmo.
After countless exercises and healing in the past few days, the meridians in Xu Yuan's body almost all changed into the shape of Ran Qingmo.
His physical talent was not good to begin with.
The degree of blockage of each meridian is comparable to that of a small intestine, and now there is an icy blue source energy belonging to Ran Qingmo on top of this narrow small intestine.
Those icy blue remaining energy covered the inner walls of every meridians in his body.
Under such circumstances, it was completely difficult for Xu Yuan to guide his remaining energy to move along the path of the technique.
After sensing this, Xu Yuan did not have too many mood swings.
It's still what he always believed,
If you encounter a problem, solve it.
The meridians in his body became narrower, so he would be more careful when guiding Yuan Qi forward.
The time for one circle of the skill became longer, so he forced himself to stabilize his consciousness for a while in the dying state...
........
One day passed by in a hurry.
Waking up from coma again,
The first thing Xu Yuan saw was her still silently guarding his side.
The difference from before was that the place where he was lying now was the only jade bed in the cave.
Sitting up in silence, Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the jade bed.
On the flawless white jade bed, two exercises were quietly stacked together, and next to them were two bottles of precious pills needed for cultivation.
Watching silently, with some emotion in his thoughts, after more than a month, he finally reached the last step.
"Well, I...have never seen your skills."
It seemed that because of Xu Yuan's gaze that had been fixed on him for a long time, Da Bingtuozi beside him suddenly said this sentence without any end.
Looking sideways, Xu Yuan smiled:
"I know."
There is nothing special about these two secret books. Apart from the recorded content, they are just ordinary pages. With Ran Qingmo's cultivation, if she wants to read them, she can use her mind and soul to detect them clearly even from dozens of meters away.
Xu Yuan silently adjusted his posture and sat cross-legged on the jade bed.
After opening the two jade bottles, a mixed smell of blood and elixir instantly filled the small cave.
Spread the two elixirs flatly in the palm of your hand. The elixir patterns on them are simple and complicated.
Xu Yuan finally glanced sideways at Ran Qingmo beside him and half-joked:
"Mr. Ran, you should expect me to succeed, otherwise, this cave will be the burial ground for the two of us."
"..."
Ran Qingmo stared at him without speaking.
She is still as talkative as when we first met.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan shook his head in boredom, and without saying any more, he raised his head and drank the two pills in one gulp.
The elixir melted instantly in his mouth, turning into two soft warm currents that entered his body.
It doesn't hurt.
On the contrary, the two warm currents that continue to spread through the body even make people feel a little comfortable.
And the moment Xu Yuan's thought flashed across his mind, something unexpected happened suddenly!
One of the warm currents suddenly became violent and turned into a galloping source of energy rushing down Xu Yuan's meridians!
The sudden and intense pain made Xu Yuan's whole body uncontrollably bend into a shrimp.
The blocked and narrow meridians simply cannot withstand such a huge impact of source energy.
Xu Yuan's meridians would crack an inch every time these source Qi passed by. The heart-breaking pain of having his meridians shattered made Xu Yuan almost lose his mind.
It hurts... it hurts so much!
The pain that penetrated into the bone marrow completely made it impossible to breathe, and the vision went black.
Fortunately, Xu Yuan's numerous near-death experiences allowed him to still forcibly stabilize his mind and prevent him from falling into coma due to the pain.
A quarter of an hour,
The violent medicinal power of the E Meteor Pill circulated in the one hundred and twenty-seven meridians in Xu Yuan's body.
Along with the pain that penetrated his bones, Xu Yuan could feel that his 127 meridians were broken every inch.
And his external body was no longer able to maintain the cross-sitting posture, and his whole body collapsed on the jade bed.
The real despair of death began to spread in my heart little by little...
But at this time, the second wave of warmth belonging to the Blood Spirit Fusion Pill also began to spread into his broken meridians.
This warm current is warm and viscous, bringing with it a tingling warmth every inch it passes.
Xu Yuan sensed this situation and knew that the time had come, and immediately began to guide the power of the Blood Spirit Fusion Pill to follow the route of the Blood Spirit Heart Destruction Jue.
As the power of the Blood Spirit Fusion Pill spread, the broken meridians in Xu Yuan's body began to be repaired bit by bit.
However this is just the beginning.
The two medicinal powers belonging to the Evil Meteor Pill and the Blood Spirit Fusion Pill began to circulate in the meridians in Xu Yuan's body in tandem.
E Meteor Dan was responsible for the demolition at the front, and Blood Spirit Fusion Dan followed behind for repairs.
The constant intertwining of pain and comfort is mind-numbing.
Meridians are broken and repaired, and repaired and broken again.
Again and again, round and round.
Cultivation takes no time.
As time goes by,
Xu Yuan found that his consciousness did not blur with the constant near-death and severe pain, but instead became more solid and awake.
I don’t know how long it took,
Xu Yuan could even devote part of his mind to sensing the Qi floating around him between heaven and earth.
Previously, only a few weak "qi groups" could be sensed in this cave, but at this moment, the number continued to increase with the continuous operation of the Blood Yuan Heart Destruction Art.
The pale face gradually became rosy, the breath as thin as a gossamer gradually stabilized, and everything was moving towards stability.
besides,
There were some strange pictures flowing into Xu Yuan's mind like a trickling stream.
It's like watching a stream of consciousness movie.
Fragmented and complex, yet connected together.
Feel it carefully,
Xu Yuan quickly realized something was wrong.
Is this scene the memory of Xu Changtian?
With the perfect integration of mind and body, these memories remaining in the body began to appear in Xu Yuan's mind little by little.
There are the trivial things in life such as washing and bathing,
There are bullies who bully men and women on the street because of their family background.
There are also horseback riding safaris,
It was even outrageous that the three young masters took medicine and forced themselves to play with one dragon and five phoenixes in Zuixian Tower...
The picture changes from blurry to clear, many, many.
But what Xu Yuan expected was that Xu Changtian's memories didn't contain much about his father.
Most of the time, there was only one silhouette of the opponent, which made him feel fearful.
fear?
Xu Yuan realized that when the back figure flashed through his mind just now, he actually felt a hint of fear.
He was affected by these memories.
With this thought, Xu Yuan quickly restrained his mind and stopped thinking about the Prime Minister.
But the next moment, those memories still flooded into my mind uncontrollably.
Compared to his superior father, it was his eldest brother who impressed him most in Xu Changtian's memory.
As memories poured in, Xu Yuan realized that his body was even more afraid of Xu Changge than it was of his father.
It's almost a fear that goes deep into the bones.
Just thinking about the other party, Xu Yuan found that his body was trembling slightly now.
This, how scared do you have to be to have such a reaction...?
Soon, Xu Yuan got the answer from those memory scenes.
Scenes of memory locks appeared in front of my eyes.
"Trash! You can't even do this kind of thing well!"
"If you let me see you embarrassed outside again, I will beat you to death on behalf of my father."
"You bastard, look at the good things you did in the Imperial Capital!"
"I can't practice cultivation, and I can't take the imperial examination. Xu Changtian, can you learn from your second brother and fourth sister?!"
"Hahahaha...Xu Changtian! It's really a surprise to see each other after three days. I've only been on a mission to the Northern Barbarians for three months, and you did such a good thing just after returning home. OK, you! Now even the Marquis of Wucheng You dare to touch my granddaughter, right?! Ying'er, help me get the whip, the thickest one!"
"..." Xu Yuan.
With this scene in his mind, Xu Yuan was speechless.
Xu Changge was ten years older than Xu Changtian. His father was busy with affairs in the court, so it was almost his elder brother Xu Changge who brought him up.
However, this eldest brother's education method is quite simple and crude.
When it came to beating him, he really beat him, and he beat him to the point of death.
The memories belonging to Xu Changtian are still emerging in his mind, and Xu Yuan clearly feels that his emotions are being affected by the other party.
He doesn't want this,
However, at this moment, he had no other choice but to accept it silently.
The memory lasts,
When the Blood Yuan Heart Destruction Art was about to be completed, Xu Yuan's mind suddenly went blank.
Those lingering memories just now seemed to be cleared instantly.
Just when Xu Yuan was wondering,
A sword appeared in his consciousness.
A sword that seemed to penetrate the entire Tianmen Mountain.
However, this sword appeared and dissipated just as quickly. It disappeared from his consciousness almost instantly...
....
....
After the skill was completed, Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
The memory is still there, but those emotions have disappeared.
But what was the sword that finally appeared in his mind?
With his eyes flickering, Xu Yuan suddenly recalled the sword intent he sensed when he looked at the Tianmen beside the cliff.
At that time, I didn't think deeply about it because the matter was urgent, but now it sounds fine but there are many things wrong with it.
That sword appeared in my mind probably because of the view at that time.
but why?
The Tianmen on Tianmen Mountain has existed for at least ten thousand years, and more than tens of thousands of people have seen it. Why is there such an opportunity when they come here?
After thinking about it, the only difference Xu Yuan found was that he did not belong to this world.
Could it be said that only the soul of the time traveler can sense the sword intention that has survived for thousands of years?
This reason is a bit abstract.
Xu Yuan couldn't figure it out, so he let it go for the time being.
And at this time,
Ran Qingmo's voice came softly from his side:
"The formation outside has disappeared, they are coming."
Xu Yuan glanced at her, reached out and picked up the Blood Yuan Xin Jue on the jade bed, and said in a calm tone:
"knew."
While talking,
As the skill was running, silky red source energy emerged from his fingers and coiled around them.
next moment,
Wisps of flames ignited, and the only copy of the Blood Yuan Xin Jue disappeared from the world.
Like the "Ice Cloud Level" in Ran Qingmo's technique, the Blood Yuan Xin Yue Jue comes with many methods of use, and the flame in front of him is one of them.
Dispose of stolen goods that may reveal your identity,
Put on the blood-red blood jade glazed clothes,
Xu Yuan then began to methodically remove all useful things in the cave.
Put the Sumeru Ring on the bedside on your index finger, and put the jade bed and the spiritual spring into the Sumeru Ring.
After a pause,
Xu Yuan glanced at the luminous pearl on the stone wall and took advantage of the situation to include it in the ring.
for a time,
The cave fell into complete darkness.
With nothing to do in the darkness, Xu Yuan sat cross-legged and began to practice.
He was somewhat looking forward to the speed of cultivation of the innate Taoist body.
And when his mind and soul dispersed, he immediately noticed the difference.
Different from the three taels of "Qi Tuan" that he sensed before, at this moment, Xu Yuan, under the induction of his soul, felt that his whole body fell into a confused sea of Qi...
But what Xu Yuan didn’t know was,
Next to him, Ran Qingmo's quiet eyes had been staring at him silently in the darkness, with a slightly hesitant look on his face.
Time passes quietly,
suddenly,
"that……"
Hearing the sound, Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ran Qingmo.
"My name is Ran Qingmo." Ran Qingmo.
"..."
Xu Yuan was a little surprised why she said this.
Although he always called her Mr. Ran, Xu Yuan remembered that he had reported her name when he was in the Buddhist hall.
He nodded slightly:
"I know."
After saying that, he closed his eyes again.
After a pause of more than ten seconds,
Xu Yuan opened his eyes again, poured Yuan Qi into his eyes, and found that the woman next to him was still staring at him without blinking.
He was slightly startled, and then realized that she was asking his name.
After spending so much time together, she still didn't know his name.
Subconsciously, he wanted to say his name, but stopped when he reached his lips.
His eyes flickered for a moment,
Xu Yuan slowly lowered his eyes, exhaled a breath, and raised a faint smile with unknown meaning at the corner of his lips:
"My name is....
"Xu Changtian."
