Liu Qingyi sank under the pond and felt that the voices of the people on the shore were extremely vague. When she became curious, she summoned the gradually calming spiritual energy in her body and rushed to her ears.
For a while, there was only a clear sound of conversation, and one person said: "Brother, you must have been here the day before yesterday. Why is there nothing in this pool?" Liu Qingyi heard this and thought to himself: "It seems that the person who came here is not Chen Tie and others are here."
I heard another person say: "Junior brother, yesterday I used the spirit ring Yukong to fly over here with Junior Brother Feng Yuanlong. Junior Brother Yuanlong also saw it. There is indeed a purple lotus that has not yet bloomed growing in this pool of water. , I didn’t pay much attention at the time, but later I heard Junior Brother Yunlong describe it, and then I remembered this flower again. If you don’t believe me, ask Junior Brother Yuanlong.”
At this time, a third voice said: "Senior Brother Luo Hou, Senior Brother Luo Chong and I came here yesterday and we did see a purple lotus in the pond." Liu Qingyi could hear it clearly in the pond. This voice was somewhat familiar. It was Feng Yuanlong, the man from Lan County who had chosen a soul to join him. After further speculation, the other two were Luo Chong and Luo Hou.
"It seems that someone else got there first." One of Luo Chong and Luo Hou said.
"As long as it's a fellow disciple, it doesn't matter." Feng Yuanlong said.
"You really don't know how powerful it is. That Purple Lotus is a sacred medicine for the Spiritual Forging Stage. It can be used to make Spirit Transferring Pills. After taking it, it can directly improve the level of the Spiritual Forging Stage. Do you know how high the Purple Yue Lotus is sold outside? Is it worth it? That’s a total of 5,800 Spiritual Essence Stones." Another one of Luo Chong and Luo Hou said.
Feng Yuanlong said: "But I am short-sighted."
"The strange beast that Master asked us to look for for you and your two brothers was originally intended to land on the Purple Lotus. Now we have no choice but to think of another way. You must know that such heavenly and earthly treasures as the Purple Lotus usually have The corresponding companion beast will protect it, and once it matures, it will be eaten by the companion beast. Looking at the traces on the edge of the pool, the companion beast of this Purple Yue Lotus should be a snow golden toad. I don’t know whether it is a larvae or an adult. It has been inside the door for many years. The fairy beast Snow Golden Toad has never appeared before. If it is a larvae, I don’t know who caught it this time." One of Luo Chong and Luo Hou said.
Feng Yuanlong said curiously: "Brother Luo Chong, according to what you said, could it be that the strange beast devoured the purple lotus when it matured? No one got there first."
Luo Chong said for a long time: "Don't you see the traces of a fight here? Look at the cross section of the lotus platform, this purple lotus was also picked by someone. I just don't know whether the Snow Golden Toad is dead or alive? Look at the traces of the fight, the Snow Golden Toad It seems that he suffered a loss in a very short time. I think this Snow Golden Toad must be a larvae, otherwise the Tsing Yi disciples who came this time would not have succeeded so quickly."
Luo Hou said on the side: "Let's go back to the door and see who caught the larval Snow Golden Toad this time. He won't be able to use the Purple Yue Lian for a while anyway. Why don't we find that person and let him capture the Snow Golden Toad? Leave it and Zi Yuelian to us."
Luo Chong said with a smile: "This is a way. Let's go back to Fengshi Gorge first and take a look. Everyone should pay attention." Feng Yuanlong and Luo Hou both responded, and then there was a sound of clothes breaking through the air, and Tan There was no more movement.
After another incense burning time, Liu Qingyi heard footsteps coming from the shore again, but this time it was very soft. A woman's low voice came from the shore: "Senior Brother Liu, are you still there? Senior Brother Liu, Where are you?" After shouting several times, the woman walked to the edge of the pool and stood still, muttering to herself: "Did you fall into the pool?"
When Liu Qingyi saw that it was Zuo Shu who was looking for him, he hurriedly got out of the water and said, "Junior Sister Zuo, I'm here, where did you hide just now?"
Seeing that half of Liu Qingyi's body was naked, Zuo Shu turned around with a blush on his face and said, "You are so angry, why are you taking off your clothes? I saw you were about to take off your clothes just now, so I stayed away, fearing that something would happen to you. I turned back again, but I heard someone talking on the shore, and I hid aside. Fortunately, I didn't come out, otherwise this Snow Golden Toad would have..." Zuo Shu thought of the conversation between Luo Chong, Luo Hou and others just now , and then thought that the two were fellow seniors, but the next words were not spoken.
Liu Qingyi raised his head in the pond and said: "We are not in a hurry to go back. Why don't you take this opportunity to brand the Snow Golden Toad as a fairy beast first. When you go out, he won't be able to snatch it away even if he wants to."
Zuo Shu turned his back and nodded: "That's true, it's just the Purple Lotus they were talking about, why didn't I see it? Could it be the thing you gave me to save the Snow Golden Toad?"
Liu Qingyi chuckled in the water and said, "You're smart, that's Zi Yue Lian. Look at how good I am to you."
Zuo Shu chuckled and said, "Are you feeling better? Are you comfortable soaking in the water? You should put on your clothes and come up." After that, he jumped into the woods beside the pool and avoided it.
Liu Qingyi jumped up from the pool, put the little civet on the ground, lifted up the clothes he had untied from his waist and tied them up with both hands, and then used his flying sword to chop down a small tree. After a few operations, He went down to build a pile of wood by the pool, flicked the fire with his fingers to light the pile, and then called Zuo Shu who was hiding in the forest to come out and warm himself by the fire.
Zuo Shu saw Liu Qingyi retracting and deploying the flying sword freely, and asked as soon as he came out: "Didn't you say you don't know how to use swords and magic weapons? It seems that you are really dishonest."
Liu Qingyi smiled horribly, changed her subject and said, "Let's practice here until the sect's mission ends before going down the mountain, so as not to be spotted by Na Luo Chong and others. Just brand the Snow Golden Toad into your soul as soon as possible, and go out From now on, don’t show it to others easily, so as not to attract people’s attention.”
Zuo Shu said with a small mouth: "I don't have to worry about it. I will use the Spirit Control Technique to brand the Snow Golden Toad later. You can help me protect the law."
Liu Qingyi nodded and said: "That's natural. As long as your senior brother and I are here, no one can disturb you. However, we'd better find a more private place. What if Luo Chong, Luo Hou and others come looking for us again? Oops?"
Zuo Shu spat softly when he heard the words, but followed Liu Qingyi to find a place with dense grass and trees not far from the pond. He shrank his body into the grass to hide his body, and began to meditate.
For several days in a row, Liu Qingyi went to the cold pool to practice martial arts from time to time, and used the soul chain to pass on the breathing and breathing techniques of the Little Civet Spirit Art.
Zuo Shu successfully branded the Snow Golden Toad on the second day and named the Snow Golden Toad 'Little Gold'. When asked about the little civet's name, Liu Qingyi casually joked: "Look at it, it's all black." , just like a piece of coal, just call it 'little black child'. I just don't know that your little gold is a male and a female. If it is a female, it will be a perfect match for a pair." Such words made Zuo angry. Shu laughed and scolded for a while.
After going back and forth, Zuo Shu successfully called the little civet cat and the snow golden toad 'Xiao Heizi' and 'Xiao Jinzi', and the two little beasts had no choice but to accept the two new names.
Because Liu Qingyi and Zuo Shu had chased them all the way, they didn't bring their packages with them. In order to fill their stomachs after practicing, the two of them would go to the forest with two small beasts from time to time to hunt down one or two demon wolves for roasting. .
After a few days, not only had a lot of demon wolf crystal cores been collected for the two fairy beasts, but even the demon wolf furs had piled up into a small mountain.
After this period of practice in the cold pool, Liu Qingyi's occasional heat finally gradually faded away, and the spiritual energy in his body gradually increased. On the third day, it was as if he had accumulated a lot of accumulation and had broken through two realms in a row, reaching the point where he could reach The fourth level of the Spiritual Forging Stage has just stopped.
Since the little civet learned the spiritual skills taught by Liu Qingyi, and followed Liu Qingyi to practice in the cold pool, in a few days it has reached the sixth level of spiritual sloughing, and is only one step away from the seventh level of spiritual sloughing. Liu Qingyi also I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart: "It is indeed a fairy beast. It is indeed faster to practice than a monk."
Strangely enough, after being revived by Liu Qingyi with two pieces of purple lotus flowers, the Snow Toad did not become hot like Liu Qingyi and the little civet. After passing on the Beast Spirit Technique, he became very close to Zuo Shu. He stayed beside Zuo Shu quietly every day to practice like a good baby, never wanting to leave Zuo Shu.
Only when I was practicing, I secretly looked at the little civet jumping up and down following Liu Qingyi by the pool. There was still a look of dissatisfaction and fear in his eyes.
At night, when the moonlight is bright, the little civet will often choose a tall forest tree to climb to the top, face the moonlight in the sky, relax and spread its limbs, and breathe into the moonlight.
Snow Golden Toad also imitated the little civet and climbed to a tree far away from the little civet. He also spread out his body facing the moonlight in the sky and began to vomit with his belly opening and shrinking.
The misty moonlight in the sky was like a river of light slowly pouring into the two little beasts. Liu Qingyi could see with the naked eye that the river of moonlight on the little civet was almost as big as a bucket, while the river of moonlight on the Snow Toad was only as big as a little finger. thickness.
Liu Qingyi thought to herself: "I don't know what the purpose of this moonlight river is. It seems that the little civet seems to like this practice method of swallowing moonlight very much, but this is very different from the practice method of controlling the spirit secret taught in the sect."
Since he passed on the little civet spirit technique, he has been using the soul chain all day long to communicate with the little civet and help him practice the spirit technique, and has almost put aside other uses of the spirit ring.
Now that I had nothing to do, I started to think about the spirit ring.
He followed the relevant spells recorded in the Spirit Control Technique and used the soul chain as a medium to open a gray space in the spirit ring. This space was about ten feet square and was specially used as a shelter for the Immortal Beasts branded by the disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect. place.
When Liu Qingyi first saw this alien space that was more than ten feet square, he was filled with admiration in his heart. The person who made this spiritual ring was really amazing. Such an alien space could not only house imprinted immortal beasts, but also It can be described as a mobile warehouse for carrying and storing various sundries.
The only pity is that this gray spirit ring alien space is only ten feet square, which is not very spacious, and the space for the immortal beasts to move within is also extremely limited. It is said that He Yuanji said when he preached that this space will slowly expand as the level of the spirit ring increases. It is said that the storage space in those spirit rings of the Immortal Treasure level can even reach dozens to hundreds of feet in radius. .
Liu Qingyi looked at the little civet, intending to test the storage ability of the spirit ring space, so he activated his spiritual power, raised the spirit ring and raised it gently, and saw the little civet suddenly turned into a burst of black light, and disappeared in a flash. In the spiritual ring.
He used his spiritual consciousness to connect to the spirit ring space, and saw the little civet standing in the ten-foot space looking around.
He raised the spirit ring in his hand again, and gently called towards the pile of demon wolf furs on the ground not far away, sucking all the pile of demon wolf furs into the ring.
"This solves a big problem." After all, these demon wolf furs are sect mission items, so they can naturally be taken away as much as possible. Without the ability of the spirit ring to capture objects, I don't know how much trouble I would have suffered.
He thought for a while and put all the sundries he was carrying, including a large number of magic wolf crystal cores collected for the little civet cat, into the spirit ring. He also took off the sword pouch from his waist, which he was going to put into the spirit ring as well. When he was in the ring, he suddenly stopped his hand and thought to himself: "This spiritual ring will release enemies from time to time. Wouldn't it be troublesome to retrieve the flying sword in a hurry?" After thinking about this, he returned the sword bag again. At his waist, he could barely cover it up with the gray identity plate.
