Human world, thirty-three years later.
Southeast of Penglai.
The spring water is gurgling and the creek is gurgling.
Su Qing sat cross-legged on a big stone by the stream.
Immortal light flows and essence gathers at the top. Along with the ups and downs of breathing, a trace of gray mist drifted away.
"call……"
Su Qing exhaled a breath of fresh air and opened his eyes.
"The price of borrowing the sword is affordable."
I was mentally prepared to strike back at the opponent that day. But when the sword energy returned, he was not as seriously injured as imagined. I just kept it for more than 30 days and it's not a big deal.
Just adjust your breath for two hours every day, and do whatever you should do at other times. The spiritual spring that had been dug for a long time finally emerged ten days ago.
The last drop of Renshui has been used up, and the spring water has been successfully enlightened. Although it is not as good as the real innate pure water, the aura in the water still barely meets the standard. After being nourished by the water of the spiritual spring, the vegetation on the island ushered in a new wave of growth.
The grass is becoming more and more green and dense, and some exotic fruits and flowers are growing in twos and threes in remote places. Many new trees have also grown, making Penglai more colorful.
"Sisi..."
The grass suddenly shook, and a small green snake sprang out. The speed was as fast as the wind and lightning, and it wrapped around Su Qing's wrist.
"You guy." Su Qing didn't appear panicked, but only looked a little helpless. "Could it be that you were caught stealing again and came to hide in my place?"
The little snake's scales were green and shiny, and it rubbed its head back and forth on the back of its hand. There was grievance in his human eyes, as if he was being coquettish to please.
Now that the spiritual spring has been successfully dug, Hong's snake egg will naturally be hatched. In the end, the trace of blue dragon blood was successfully activated, and the little snake was hatched.
But this little guy is really naughty and has caused a lot of trouble on the island these days.
"call out……"
Accompanied by several birdsong, the crane couple chased after them. There was murderous intent in his eyes, as if he was ready to fight at any moment.
"Take it out." Su Qing said to the little snake.
The little snake vomited out its core, seemingly reluctantly. But he still twisted his body into the grass and pulled out an egg.
One crane stepped forward and bit the egg, while the other one still stared at the little snake. He flicked his neck as if he was about to peck him, obviously he didn't want to let the naughty snake go so easily.
"I will punish it." Su Qing said to the crane. "You don't need to be too angry. It's just playful and won't really eat. Since it's still young, let's forget it this time."
Su Qing cast a spell to collect a cup of spring water and attracted two green leaves. It turned into a green water cloud and floated in front of the crane.
The two cranes chirped twice, then left with eggs and water balls in their mouths satisfied.
"These two old guys." Su Qing shook his head.
Plans to expand the bird population are going well, with cranes and bluebirds both laying more than a dozen eggs. The little snake was very interested in those eggs and would try to steal them from time to time.
But if the blue bird and the crane are serious, there is no way the little snake can steal it.
The potential of the little snake is higher than that of a few fairy birds, but at this stage, it is just like a snack. The blue bird has never been successfully stolen, and the little snake is always thrown into the sea.
But the crane is different, it is stolen every day. Su Qing had every reason to suspect that the two greedy old guys were deliberately fishing to get the spiritual tea from Su Qing.
"Sisi..."
The little snake looked at Su Qing spitting out the core and making the gesture of drinking water, as if she also wanted the spiritual tea.
"Don't think about it. If you make a mistake, you need to be punished first." Su Qing said solemnly: "Go to the scholar and listen to him read the meaning of the scriptures for two hours."
With a whoosh, the little snake turned around and scurried into the grass.
Su Qing reached out and grabbed the snake's tail, casting a spell to transform it into a cage and lock it. In its desperate struggle, it flew towards the apricot tree.
"I hope this little guy will grow up quickly, otherwise he may be eaten one day." After cleaning up the worried naughty child, Su Qing closed his eyes and delved into the sea of consciousness.
There are nine palaces on the first floor of Jiuyuan Creation Immortal Platform, and now the fourth palace has been lit up.
In addition to the Central Palace and the Western Dui Palace, there are also the Southeast Xun Palace and the Eastern Zhen Palace.
A projection of a spiritual spring appears in the southeastern Xun Palace, and the gurgling water is pleasing to the heart. The dragon shadow appeared in Dongfang Zhen Palace, but it was too thin to be true. Relative to the clarity of Sunda Palace, it is almost as if it does not exist.
The shadow of the tiger in Dui Palace in the west is more obvious than before, and the area covered by white hair is also increasing. Nearly one-tenth of it is covered in white fur.
But to say that the most clear and stable one is of course the Zhonggong Immortal Apricot Spiritual Root.
The fairy apricot spiritual roots are getting stronger and stronger, giving people a sense of stability when standing there.
But what Su Qing cared about most at this time was not the Immortal Platform itself, but the four sword shadows hanging under the shadow of the trees.
Since the last time the sword was drawn, the sword shadow has changed.
It is no longer a completely illusory shadow, but has a substantial texture. Although the texture on the sword is relatively light, it already has an outline.
One handle in particular has a very clear edge outline.
Su Qing thought for a while, then opened his eyes and looked at Xian Xing.
"The shadow of the apricot wood sword, borrow a branch to prove it."
Click.
The fairy apricot spirit root swayed its branches, and a section of the branch broke off and flew away, falling directly in front of Su Qing.
"Thank you." Su Qing nodded slightly and took the branch in his hand. Use a micro-knife to cut and carve carefully.
Pieces of wood chips fell, and a wooden sword appeared. Judging from its appearance, it is very similar to the sword shadow under the tree in the middle palace.
After the rough outline was figured out, more details began to be carved. The hilt of the sword is wrapped with green leaves, and the blade's blood groove is repaired. The movements were much slower than before, and seemed a bit laborious.
At the same time, something strange appeared in the sky.
Dark thunderclouds suddenly appeared in the sky above Penglai, which is always green all year round and has no wind or rain.
The clouds are dark and contain thunder and lightning. The dull rumbling sound shocked everyone on the island.
The bluebird protects its nest, and the crane cocks its neck to look at the sky. The scholar is still reading under the fairy apricot tree, and the little snake is coiled in the cage and is lifeless.
After Su Qing carved the last stroke, the wooden sword slowly floated up.
The sky rumbled, and three thunderbolts fell.
The first one was thunderbolts and fire smoke.
In the second step, scorch marks on the lightning flash snake appeared.
The third way is to kill the thunderous energy soaring into the sky.
After three passes, the clouds opened and the sun appeared.
The fireworks ignited sharp edges, and the scorch marks turned into mysterious patterns. The sword is three feet long and has a green leaf on the handle. It is extremely agile and unearthly.
Su Qing reached out to recall the wooden sword and gently brushed the blade.
It's obviously a wooden sword, but it has a metallic feel. The texture formed by scorch marks looks like the product of careful carving. The dark red sword edge reflected the light, causing the air nearby to feel chilly.
"Three thunder tribulations are missing. It can be considered an immortal weapon, but the fighting skills are too weak and can only be used for fun." Su Qing was not very satisfied.
"The apricot wood is the foundation, and the shadow of the sword enters the mind. I originally thought that there would be at least five tribulation thunders. It is not a problem of enlightenment, but the foundation is not strong. If you want to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the body, you have to light up all the nine palaces. .”
Suddenly, Su Qing's heart moved and she looked in the direction of Qingzhou in the North Territory.
"The creatures of the Apricot Wood Sword are destined to suffer disaster. The cause and effect to be repaid seems to be somewhat extraordinary."
…
There is an old crane in Penglai who understands human nature and likes tea ceremony. Travelers carrying tea will be stopped and deceived, and they will leave after drinking.
