Wei Shiqi came to Yingzui Rock alone, sat cross-legged at Xun Ye's retreat, facing the sea of clouds, and guessed what Lu Sect Master was thinking.
Not hard to guess. Master and disciple are of the same mind, Yu Yao will not hide it from his master, Sect Master Lu learns that he is someone Ruan Jing values, and he has practiced Xiaoyue Kung Fu to an unprecedented level. Even if he does not win over him, he will not push him out in vain. He had misled Song Yun before, making her think that he was going down the mountain to gain demon pills and practice the "He Qi Zhi Xuan Sutra". Sect Leader Lu followed suit and gave him three demon pills through Wei Rongniang, which he could not refuse. This sentiment must be accepted.
The consequences of planting the seeds will be left to the future. At least Wei Shiqi will side with Sect Master Lu and Yu Yao.
"What a generous move!" Wei Shiqi opened the jade box, took out a demon pill and looked at it carefully, and suddenly realized that there was a jade slip pressed at the bottom of the jade box.
He took out the jade slip and glanced through it. It turned out to be an addendum to the "He Qi Zhi Xuan Jing". Practicing the "He Qi Zhi Xuan Sutra", swallowing demon pills and absorbing vitality is contrary to the Kunlun Dharma. Over time, the impurities in the demon pills will be deposited in the body, polluting the Tao embryo, and the gain will not be worth the loss. This addendum takes a new approach, emphasizing refining the demon elixir outside the body and introducing vitality into the body, which can overcome the various shortcomings of the "He Qi Zhi Xuan Jing" and lead directly to the great road.
Wei Shiqi thought about it again and again and decided to pass this supplement to Qin Zhen. To him, Sect Master Lu's move was like a pearl cast into darkness. He was an acquired filth and was innately ignorant. If he refined the demon elixir outside his body, his vitality would be lost in vain and could not be introduced into his body.
The "He Qi Zhi Xuan Jing" that goes against the Kunlun Zhengfa is the most suitable method for him.
Wei Shiqi was a little hesitant about how to deal with these three demon pills. For the long-term plan, he should keep the demon pills and wait until he deciphered the third piece of animal skin before practicing. However, this is a bit risky. The meat is only his own when he eats it in his stomach. Before the sword debate in Chixia Valley, he must use all means to make himself stronger, and the most straightforward way is to strengthen the demon elixir in his body.
Demon elixir is the foundation of power.
After weighing the pros and cons and making up his mind, Wei Shiqi found a secluded cave in Yingzui Rock, raised his head and swallowed the demon pill, refined it with the "He Qi Zhi Xuan Jing", absorbed the vital energy to condense the Yuan liquid, and used Yuan Qi to condense the Yuan liquid. The liquid nourishes and strengthens the demon elixir in the Dantian.
Once he started, he couldn't stop. It took him half a year to refine the first demon pill, and the pain involved was indescribable. If Wei Rongniang hadn't gifted him the bottle of Bigu Pill, he definitely wouldn't have been able to endure it for so long.
The results of the training were satisfactory. The Demonic Pill, which was originally as fine as a dust particle, had grown to the size of a mung bean. The true energy fed back could not be consumed. Wei Shiqi mastered the Soul Capturing, Soul Searching, and Requiem Requiem techniques. , among the sword cultivators from the Kunlun branch sects, no one put as much effort into the soul-taking art as he did.
Wei Shiqi, unshaven and with a tired face, returned to Xili Cave and fell asleep. He slept for three days and three nights before regaining his energy.
There was silence in the stone room. He closed his eyes and listened to the subtle breathing. Someone was sitting beside his bed, their eyes falling on his face, looking at him silently. He could detect the attachment and tenderness in his eyes, which made him feel at ease.
A faint sigh sounded, Qin Zhen stretched out her hand to touch his rough face, and whispered: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and I didn't say a word when I came back. I fell asleep, snoring so hard that I just fell asleep. I’m not awake yet, how long do you want me to wait..." There was an unprecedented resentment in his tone, as if he had grown up overnight, lost all his childishness, and matured his mind.
After a moment, she stretched out a finger, carefully poked his cheek, and smiled again.
In Wei Shiqi's impression, Qin Zhen was still the little girl who was quiet and shy when she was new, but a bit nagging when she was familiar with her. She pestered him, had no idea, and just let him do what he wanted. I don’t know when she started to have so many things on her mind, and she also knew how to complain a little to make her a little tempered.
Wei Shiqi grabbed her hand and put it on his face. Qin Zhen was startled and shouted: "Ah, you're awake!"
She instinctively wanted to take out her hand, but Wei Shiqi held on tightly and pulled her into his arms. Qin Zhen knocked her chin on his chest, looked at him with a red face, and said with a flat mouth: "Senior brother, you should take care of it, your face is full of beard, like an uncle."
Wei Shiqi touched her smooth cheek and asked, "Uncle, is he here?"
"Master took senior brothers and sisters down the mountain to buy gifts. In a few days, it will be the master's birthday. It happens to be the seventh year for the inner disciple competition. I heard that this competition is to select the disciples who will participate in the Chixia Valley sword debate. , everyone has been very attentive in the past six months.”
The sword discussion in Chixia Valley was finally approaching, and there was not much time left for him. Wei Shiqi remembered that Ruan Jing had promised to give him a favor during the sword discussion in Chixia Valley. In order to fulfill this promise, he must attend this big event. stand out from the competition.
"Senior brother, do you want to go to Chixia Valley?"
Wei Shiqi came back to his senses and said casually: "Why not!"
Qin Zhen muttered: "You went to Chixia Valley, and we won't see each other for a long time."
"There are still several years left for the sword competition in Chixia Valley. You are thinking too far. Besides, there are so many elders in the same sect. It is hard to say whether we can win the competition..."
Qin Zhen playfully put the back of her hand on his chin, tried the pricking stubble, and said, "Senior brother, if you want to go, you can definitely do it!"
