The old man who exclaimed was none other than Zhan Yitian’s master Yuan Huaqing, old man Yuan.
Old man Yuan raised his head and looked at the fading red light on the South Dipper, and couldn't help but whisper to himself: "As for the celestial star, Mercury is opposite the moon, either something big has happened, or there is a strange treasure appearing! But judging from its location in the southeast, this Isn’t it the direction I spent my whole day in?”
Surprised and uncertain, Old Yuan immediately started counting silently with his fingers...
"No, I have to go to Zhan Yijia, and the sooner I go, the better."
After a while, Old Yuan made up his mind.
At about 5 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the sky in the east had turned a fish-belly white color. At this time, Zhu Nuanjun had already opened his eyes and stared blankly for a long time.
When the window slowly became brighter and brighter, Zhu Nuanjun's eyes suddenly closed, as if he had made a decision in his heart, and he immediately got up and got out of bed.
After getting up, Zhu Nujun took out a white envelope from the desk drawer beside him, and then took the white handkerchief on the bedside in his hand.
Taking a look at the faint red shadow in the white handkerchief, Zhu Nuanjun shook the handkerchief gently, and a rose that was still bright and blooming came into view.
Staring at the rose, Zhu Nuanjun's eyes couldn't help but become moist again, but the next moment, Zhu Nuanjun refolded the handkerchief without hesitation, carefully put it into the envelope, and then used glue to seal the seal tightly. …
At six o'clock on the university's playground, Zhan Yitian came to the field as usual and was ready to start running and exercising.
In the past few days, he and Zhu Nuanjun had made an appointment to go out for a run together as soon as the weather was clear. He also knew that Zhu Nuanjun was leaving, so he came very early every day.
But to Zhan Yitian's surprise, as soon as he arrived at the venue today, he saw Zhu Minjun in a white short skirt standing next to the horizontal bar.
"Zhu Nujun! I didn't expect you to come earlier than me!" Zhan Tiantian ran over and said with some surprise.
"Eh? What's wrong with you?"
When he ran up to him, Zhan Yitian suddenly noticed that Zhu Nuanjun looked strange and pale, so he asked again in confusion.
But Zhu Nuanjun still kept her lips tightly closed, with her hands behind her back, staring at Zhan Yitian motionlessly, as if she wanted to completely imprint the other person's face in her heart!
After continuing to stare at Zhan Tiantian for a while, Zhu Nuanjun pursed his lips and stretched out a hand from behind his back.
"This is for you..." Zhu Nuanjun handed a bulging envelope to Zhan Tiantian in a low voice.
Seeing Zhu Nuanjun's strange look, Zhan Tiantian took the envelope uneasily. But the moment he pinched the envelope, a strange feeling suddenly came over him.
"What's inside?..."
"I'll see you when I get home! Show me one day...see you later!"
Feeling that the things in the letter were soft and soft, Zhan Tiantian was startled. Just when he was about to ask, Zhu Nuanjun suddenly interrupted the question, and after a warning, he immediately turned around to say goodbye and ran away!
Watching Zhu Nuanjun's delicate figure disappear behind a big tree not far away, Zhan Tiantian suddenly realized that she was probably leaving, but why was she in such a hurry?
Looking at the envelope with a faint fragrance in his hand, which was tightly sealed with glue, Zhan didn't wait until he got home, so he carefully tore the seal right here.
Then he pulled out a white handkerchief from the envelope.
"This is... a rose?..."
When Zhan shook the handkerchief away one day, he saw a brightly colored rose painted on it.
Seeing this flower, Zhan Yitian felt even more strange.
If you want to send flowers, I will give them to her too! It seems a little illogical for her to draw a rose and give it to me like this!
Zhan Yitian scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. No matter how he stayed, he also knew that this rose should be given by a man to a woman. Of course, he and Zhu Nuanjun have made a promise. Although they are not so clear, it is equivalent to an eternal oath!
"Oh! I'm such a pig. Isn't it obvious that I should give her flowers? I haven't thought of this for so many days, but there is no flower shop nearby!"
Zhan Yitian suddenly realized it and said with a slap on his forehead. But what made him even more frustrated was that there really wasn't a flower shop nearby at that time. If there was a flower shop there, it would be able to remind him to some extent!
"When I see you one day, I will definitely give you more than a thousand roses!"
Zhan Yitian swore in his heart, but he was not confused. He felt that a thousand flowers was already a lot, and he might not be able to take any more!
After carefully putting away the handkerchief, Zhan didn't feel like exercising all day, so he went straight home. On the way, I was still thinking about how to store this handkerchief carefully so that it would not be discovered by others.
After all, he would be a little shy when such a beautiful rose appeared on his body!
Zhan Yitian's parents had an early shift today and left home at eight o'clock in the morning.
After Zhan Yitian put away his handkerchief, he sat on the balcony, looking boredly at a cloud in the sky.
His eyes were staring at the clouds, but in his heart he was thinking about the last words Zhu Nuanjun said to him.
"I'll see you when I get home! Show me one day...see you later!"
Goodbye, the word already made him feel that he might not see her for a long time, and the only thing he might see was her letter.
"It seems that I have to grow up quickly so that I can go to Xuanwu Lake to find her."
Zhan Yitian knew the address of her home. Looking at the white clouds in the sky, his mind also flew to Xuanwu Lake.
"Zhan Yitian!... Why are you alone upstairs in a daze?"
Suddenly, a deep shout rang out from downstairs.
"Master!... Why are you here, old man?"
Hearing the shouts, Zhan Tiantian was startled. When he lowered his head and looked down, he was surprised to find that the master was here!
With his spirits up, Zhan ran towards the bottom of the building taking three steps and two steps at a time.
Yuan Huaqing came in person when Zhan Yiyi celebrated his tenth birthday, so it was not surprising that he found this place.
Seeing Zhan Yitian running down, Old Yuan laughed and said, "I'm here for your business too!"
After Zhan Yitian took over the master's extremely simple baggage, he asked with a puzzled expression: "For me?"
"Well... let's go, let's talk at your house!" Old man Yuan looked at Zhan Tiantian's surprised eyes and replied in a deep voice with a straight face.
When he arrived at home, Zhan Yitian served Yuan Huaqing a cup of tea, then sat aside honestly, waiting for the master's questions.
Yuan Huaqing took a sip of tea and did not beat around the bush. Instead, he brushed his beard and said directly: "Just after midnight last night, I looked at the sky at night and suddenly found that the Antarctic star Mercury was opposite the moon, and its direction was pointed directly at the moon. The southeast is exactly the same as the direction you are in. I once calculated your good luck and knew that you would have an adventure when you were 12 years old and you would never be ordinary again, so I guess this time the weather is probably related to you!" After that, Old Man Yuan He took another sip of tea and looked at Zhan Tianzi with bright eyes.
After listening to the master's story, Zhan Yitian scratched his head and thought for a while, then said in confusion: "I went to bed after 10 o'clock last night and didn't notice anything strange!"
When Old Man Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. After thinking for a moment, he asked directly: "So, from last night to before you met me, have you been exposed to anything strange, or have you had anything with that girl named Zhu Nuanjun?" touch?"
Hearing the master's direct question, Zhan Yitian knew that he could no longer hide it. Anyway, he didn't feel embarrassed if he showed the master the handkerchief, so he took out the handkerchief, handed it to Yuan Huaqing for inspection, and explained that it was Zhu Minjun's present. I gave it to him before he left.
"Rose?"
Yuan Huaqing looked at the bright red flowers on the handkerchief, and for a moment, he also showed a confused look.
"Doubtful?... No! This... this seems to be a blood clot!"
But the next moment, when Old Man Yuan saw the strangeness in the heart of the rose, he said in surprise.
Blood clot!
Zhan Yitian was shocked when he heard it! I was frightened. Did something happen to Zhu Nuanjun?
But at this time, Yuan Huaqing became extremely excited, and hurriedly said to Zhan Yitian: "Zhan Yitian! Go and prepare a bowl of water, get me a cotton swab, and light a candle!"
Zhan Yitian was startled by the master's appearance and had no time to ask why. He had to immediately fetch a bowl of water and found a cotton swab from the medicine drawer at home.
"Master! This water is from the tap water pipe. We don't have pure water here. If we use distilled water, it may take a while. Look at this..." Zhan Tiantian said hesitantly while holding a bowl of water.
Because Zhan Yitian knew that the clear water the master meant was pure water without any impurities.
"Okay! Okay! This is just for testing, not for practice. This water is enough!" Yuan Huaqing was very anxious at this time. After taking the water bowl with one hand, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket with the other hand. When the yellow talisman came, the so-called test began.
Below, Yuan Huaqing used a wet cotton swab to lightly touch the rose heart on the handkerchief. After the cotton swab turned light red, he pressed hard on the yellow talisman paper he had taken out earlier.
Soon the talisman paper where it was pressed became soaked. At this time, Zhan Yitian happened to find a candle, lit it and put it aside.
Without pausing, Old Yuan immediately put the wet talisman paper on the flames.
"Whoosh!" There was a soft sound, and the talisman paper quickly burned from bottom to top, and the talisman paper was completely burned in an instant.
Yuan Huaqing took advantage of the last moment when the talisman paper was burned out and flicked his finger upwards. The entire talisman paper turned into burnt black. It instantly turned into countless powdery black ash in mid-air, and fell towards the bowl of clear water. go.
What surprised Zhan Yitian was that the entire piece of black ash drifted away automatically without wind during the falling process. Most of the black ash fell on the ground outside the bowl, and only a small amount of black ash fell directly into the bowl.
At this point, Yuan Huaqing did nothing else. Instead, he picked up the water bowl on the ground and carefully observed the black ash that was sinking, hanging, or floating in the bowl.
"...Huh?...Hahahaha...it is indeed menstrual blood! And it is pure yin first menstrual blood!...In one day, you will have a 50% chance of completing the five elements with this menstrual blood!" Yuan Huaqing suddenly exclaimed said with a smile.
Zhan Yitian felt a move in his heart after hearing this, but the chance of only having a 50% chance seemed a bit uncertain. But knowing that this was the blood of first menstruation, Zhan Yitian felt relieved, knowing that Zhu Nuanjun was fine and had just grown up!
But when he thought of the fact that Zhu Nuanjun had grown up, Zhan Yitian's thoughts suddenly went a little further.
"Zhan Tiantian is incredible!... This blood actually contains tears of parting!... Tears of parting... Tears of parting... Just like the parting tears of a woman in love. If tears flow into the heart of the man you love, it is destined that the tears will take root in the man's heart, and... the blood veins with menstrual blood as the root are exactly the meaning of taking root and sprouting! In one day... your water spirit roots will become That's it! The five elements are complete! This is God's will!..."
Just when Zhan Tiantian was in a trance, Yuan Huaqing suddenly screamed loudly again. With his sighs and explanations, Zhan Tiantian finally understood that this time, the thing Zhu Nujun gave him could 100% restore his soul. root! His cultivation career can truly begin!
"Tsk tsk!! Zhan Yitian...you...how much pain have you caused to others!"
In the end, Yuan Huaqing stared at the handkerchief for a long time, shook his head and said, whether his words were happy for Zhan Tiantian or sarcastic?
Zhan Yitian was stunned when he heard this. The excitement that had just arisen was suppressed by the master.
"Isn't this old man jealous of me?" Zhan Tiantian curled his lips and muttered to himself.
Since the menstrual blood on the handkerchief must be taken with the special medicinal soup made, after leaving a concise note to Zhan Yitian's parents, Old Yuan hurriedly took Zhan Yitian back to the countryside.
On the way to the countryside, Zhan Yitian kept thinking about Zhu Nuanjun's back when he left. The figure from the back was so weak, but also showed a strong feeling, and he also understood at this moment that this gift that was about to be connected to his blood would be the most precious gift in his life!
…
The long-distance bus bound for Xuanwu City was slowly leaving the station, but at this moment, Zhu Nuanjun was staring out the window with empty eyes, silently shedding tears.
Zhu Zili looked at his daughter's sad and tearful look, thinking that she was nostalgic for this land and her friends, so he could only sigh silently at this moment, hoping that his daughter could grow up quickly in the new environment in the future.
In fact, Zhu Nuanjun only had one person in mind. She secretly thought in her heart: "Zhan Yitian! Don't blame me for my sudden departure. One day you will understand me... The handkerchief I gave you contains a grown-up Do you understand the deep love a girl has for the boy she loves?"
…
At six o'clock in the evening, white steam was already coming out of the medicine jars used for refining and dispensing medicine. There are as many as ten kinds of materials used in this painting. Angelica dahurica, bupleurum, anemarrhena, peony bark, hemp seeds... these medicinal materials were all scraped together from several traditional Chinese medicine stores on the way back to my hometown.
At this time, after Old Yuan poured the medicine out of the jar, he also filtered out the medicinal soup.
Looking at the large medicine jar, a lot of medicine residue was cleared out, and the real medicine soup was only more than half a bowl. The medicinal soup is dark brown in color and has a strong medicinal smell. One sip makes you feel dizzy.
After taking the handkerchief from Zhan Yitian, Old Yuan dipped the center of the handkerchief into the potion. After waiting for about half a minute, he took out the handkerchief by its edge.
At this time, I saw that the area where the handkerchief was soaked had turned dark brown, and the rose-red patch on it had disappeared.
Old Yuan handed the medicinal soup to Zhan Yitian and said solemnly: "Drink it quickly. This pure Yin blood must be taken within 12 hours. The sooner you take it, the greater the chance!"
Zhan Yitian took the medicinal soup and looked at the steaming soup. The expression on his face gradually became complicated.
In Zhan Yitian's heart, the soup in his hand was no longer just a magical medicine that allowed him to open up the path to cultivation, but a soup of deepest love that was blindly blended with the love and tears of his beloved!
Thinking of Zhu Nuanjun, Zhan Yitian's face showed determination. He drank the medicinal soup in a few gulps, regardless of the sour and bitter taste and the hot water temperature.
After drinking the medicinal soup, Zhan Tiantian felt a surge of blood in his chest. In an instant, his internal organs and abdomen felt painfully burned by heat.
Since Old Man Yuan didn't know how he would feel after drinking the decoction, he knew that Zhan Tiantian's face suddenly turned red and he looked very uncomfortable, so he knew that this feeling was not pleasant.
But at this moment, besides asking Zhan Yi Luck to meditate immediately, he could only pace outside the house with his hands behind his back, anxiously waiting for the results.
About a quarter of an hour later, when Zhan Tianyun was able to endure the painful pain in his five internal organs, a faint sense of coolness suddenly seeped out of his body and quickly spread throughout his body. The previous discomfort dissipated in an instant.
What surprised Zhan Yitian even more was that the sudden feeling of coolness gradually condensed into a trace of coolness in his body. After this trace of gas traveled around the body, it gradually stabilized in the dantian. The other remaining spiritual energy in the body, driven by this spiritual energy, also gathered around it, and after a week of reverse rotation in the Dantian, it merged with the spiritual energy, making the spiritual energy thread in the middle of the Dantian larger.
This is completely different from the spiritual power cultivated before.
The previous spiritual power was stored in the Dantian in the form of scattered gas, which could not be integrated into one body and could easily dissipate. But now the spiritual energy is all integrated together, and can grow bigger and bigger after a week of reverse rotation, becoming a real spiritual energy group!
It may be because Zhan Yitian started practicing at the age of five. Although the Five Elements were incomplete at that time, in the past seven or eight years, his other spiritual roots have also been significantly improved. This momentum immediately pushed his cultivation to the initial growth stage of Qi refining.
Qi refining is divided into three stages: initial, middle and last. Each stage corresponds to a consolidation period, a growth period and a maturity period.
At this moment, Zhan Tiantian has entered into the initial stable stage of Qi refining.
"Five wood, four metal, two water, two fire, and three earth, are these my five elements attributes!"
...strange...this is! …”
When Zhan Yitian closed his eyes, he was surprised to find that he had glimpsed his own Five Elements Spiritual Root. Not to mention, with his eyes closed, he could clearly perceive everything within five meters of him. No, a spider that suddenly appeared on the door lintel, which was sensed in his spiritual mind, was confirmed when Zhan Tiantian suddenly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes and saw the spider, Zhan Tiantian almost sat there in a daze. Even he himself couldn't believe that he would suddenly become so unusual.
