Duan Chen walked beside me and touched his chin with some unfinished thoughts.
"Tsk, tsk, I haven't even had time to take a closer look at what those colorful stones are!"
I smiled and rolled my eyes at this guy.
"It's not your own thing anyway, why do you know so clearly? Maybe if you find out that it is an extremely precious treasure, you will easily have distracting thoughts. It's better not to know, and let the blind bear finish it off."
Yo?
Duan Chen raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to hook my neck.
"As expected of Xiao Wu Wu, your consciousness is so high!"
"Put your hands away, hey..."
Wang Lei and others also laughed.
Duan Chen and I followed them and returned to the tent camp together.
The members of the guide team who stayed at the camp were slightly startled when they saw me appearing, and then they all happily came over to greet me.
"Hello, Brother Wu!"
"Brother Wu has joined us again? That's great."
"Yes! With Brother Wu here, it is very safe."
I also introduced Duan Chen to them and exchanged pleasantries with them.
The treasure hunting expedition team was very lucky this time. All the "orders" they received from Zhao Si'er had been completed, and they were originally planning to leave Changbai Mountain.
Wang Lei and the others heard that I had successfully obtained the rare object I was looking for, and they all expressed their sincere congratulations to me.
…
There is nothing to say about what happens next.
We walked out of the virgin forest together, because there was no need to explore slowly and we went straight on. In about two days, we returned to the small village at the foot of Changbai Mountain.
at dusk.
Liu Neng, who keeps five chubby rat demons, was stunned for a moment when he saw us appearing at his door, and then ran over with surprise on his face.
"Brother Wu! Are you back? It's pretty fast."
I nodded.
"Well, it went much smoother than expected. But everyone is exhausted after two days of traveling in the mountains, so we still have to rest at your house for one night. You won't send fat mice to steal our money this time, right? Hahaha. "
"No, no, no...that definitely won't happen! How dare I do that?"
Liu Neng quickly shook his head and waved his hands.
Duan Chen looked towards Liu Neng's yard - he seemed to be able to sense the five rat demons in the house through the wall, laughing.
"The technique of moving five rats? It's interesting! Master Dao, I have eaten many unlucky monsters without eyes, but I have never eaten a roasted rat monster. Why don't I get one and give it a try."
Liu Neng shuddered immediately and looked at me timidly.
"Brother Wu, this is..."
I glared at Duan Chen.
"Old Duan! Why are you scaring people?"
After speaking, he comforted Liu Nengdao, saying that he was a fellow Taoist from Qingcheng Mountain, a disciple of a well-known sect. As long as he didn't do anything bad, he couldn't just catch other people's domestic monsters and eat them. He was just joking deliberately to reassure Liu Neng.
Liu Neng breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a hint of fear in his eyes.
He arranged for the group of people to stay in different courtyards, and I stayed in the same one before entering the mountain.
Duan Chen was originally clamoring for me to sleep with him, but I drove him into the next room to live with Du Changmao...
Night falls.
I sat cross-legged on the bed in a meditative posture, and then carefully took out the Twenty-Four Mountains Tianyuan Shenpan from my backpack. In order to avoid further damage, I also wrapped it several layers with soft cotton cloth and placed it in a wooden box. .
But what I never expected was... As soon as I opened the wooden box and uncovered the cotton cloth, I was immediately dumbfounded.
I saw that the Twenty-Four Mountain Tianyuan Divine Disk had been completely shattered! ! !
It turned into pieces, shining with a faint golden light.
"Holy crap! Isn't it? How could this happen!"
I was stunned, and my heart ached like a convulsion.
Holding back my sadness, I turned over the pieces of the compass and checked them carefully to confirm that they were not damaged due to bumps, impacts, etc. during the process of coming out of Changbai Mountain.
"Apparently, it was shattered because it was used to defend against the last full blow of the giant white bone bird! The internal structure should have been damaged by the jet of blue fire pillar at that time, and those cracks should have penetrated the entire compass. Internally and externally. So in the past few days, it has slowly been completely broken... Sigh."
I let out a long sigh. No matter how distressed I was, I had to admit the objective facts in front of me.
One of the magic weapons my master left me, the Twenty-Four Mountains Tianyuan Divine Disk, which has both Feng Shui calculation and defensive capabilities, is gone!
"We can only wait until later to find a way to see if we can find a powerful weapon refiner to repair it."
After accepting the facts before me, I tried hard to adjust my mentality...
Then, he put away the compass fragments and began to observe his own situation!
I slowly closed my eyes and felt carefully.
Divine consciousness covers the inside and outside of oneself.
really!
I was pleasantly surprised to find...
"The Dantian has actually expanded by a circle, and the amount of Qi it can hold has increased significantly, and the quality of Qi has also become pure and powerful. It seems that it has really broken through and reached the mid-term realm of [Condensation Qi into Reality]?"
In fact, when I was still in Changbai Mountain two days ago, I had a vague premonition.
Perhaps it is the continuous accumulation in the recent period, or it may be the life and death experience in the foggy forest where the body and mind are highly stressed at all times, or it may be the ultimate battle with the giant white bone bird, or it may even be the discovery of the rare thing that hatches the small round bird egg. Let your mind relax, your thoughts become clear, and your irritability and depression disappear...or even a combination of both.
In short, my cultivation has taken a step further.
I have to say, this is indeed good news!
My depressed and irritable mood due to the broken Twenty-Four Mountain Tianyuan Divine Disk was greatly relieved.
I am actually very aware of my own situation, whether it is talent, or whether the teachings passed down by my master are too strong... In short, my actual combat effectiveness is indeed far superior to practitioners of the same realm!
However, the teachings of my parents and my master since I was a child have made me work hard to restrain my pride and maintain a humble and open-minded attitude - I can be secretly happy, but I can't be too arrogant.
"After I reach the middle stage of [Condensation Energy Transformation], my actual combat power is basically comparable to that of most regular monks when [Condensation Energy Transformation] is completed. Even if I encounter [Biosis] and [King Level] The existence of the level can also be challenged head-on! Even if there is a high probability that you can't defeat it, there is still no problem in escaping."
I'm very confident.
I tried mobilizing the true energy of my Dantian and circulated it through the acupoints and meridians of my body for a few times. I felt refreshed!
Then he slowly lay down, using the [Sleeping Skill] position, and fell into sleep.
In the dream, I saw my parents who were working hard in Shenzhen City, the resurrected Madoka, and the Master who I thought about day and night... A smile appeared on my lips involuntarily.
The next day, after having breakfast at Liu Neng’s house, we were ready to return to Changchun City.
Before setting off, as promised, I taught Liu Neng some "demon cultivation" techniques - letting him use them to strengthen the five chubby rats.
Although it was very simple, Liu Neng was overjoyed and kept thanking me. He even almost wanted to kneel down, but I quickly held him back.
"Old Liu, there's no need to make it so troublesome. It's just some small tricks. As long as you and your rats can use them on the right path in the future, it's a good thing."
"Brother Wu, don't worry! I will never do anything bad again in the future."
