"This should be the only possible explanation."

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes, adjusted his sleeves, and said.

A glass of wine that Liu Ziwen handed him before he left at the ribbon-cutting luncheon that day flashed quickly before his eyes.

Some things can only be discovered by looking back and reviewing the details.

Xie Lingjiang stared at Ouyang Rong for a while.

She took a deep breath.

Standing up, the beautiful figure in red wandered around the lobby.

"The biwing bird is a strange overseas bird that is divided into male and female. It is found on some islands in the East China Sea. This poison is made from the brightly colored wings on their tails. The male bird's tail feathers are red, and the female bird's tail feathers are cyan, corresponding to one yang and one yin.

Bottle of poison..."

Xie Lingjiang, who has been sending letters everywhere these days, asked senior Confucian sects, five surnames and seven contemporaries to inquire about Biyiniao's situation, frowned slightly and said in deep thought:

"The antidote is said to be made from the inner elixir of this bird, which is very consistent with the pharmacology that antidotes and poisons go hand in hand.

"Whether it's a mortal or a monster of a different kind, the internal elixir that is self-generated in the body is the hub for storing spiritual energy, and it has the characteristic of being extremely difficult to metabolize..."

Ouyang Rong interrupted:

"Inner elixir? Alien monsters? Are there really cultivating monsters in this world?"

Xie Lingjiang said casually:

"The Book of Rites of the Great One says that there are five insects in the heavens, including insects with scales and hairy feathers. Mortals are just like the insects, and other alien species naturally exist.

"Besides, the qi refining technique of mythical Dao lineage is not only exclusive to human qi practitioners. There are also some mythical creatures in the world. Although after the pre-Qin Dynasty, such creatures have been very rare. There are almost no traces in the world, and it is difficult for ordinary mortals to see them. Now

There should be more left overseas, compared to mainland China.

"In addition, alien monsters are not the kind of terrifying monsters in popular novels. They can massacre cities and block out the sun. They are not so bizarre and evil... So we shouldn't be afraid of them. In fact, they are afraid of us.

.”

Ouyang Rong asked curiously:

"As my junior sister said before, in ancient times before the Qin Dynasty, there were many dragons in the Wuyue land in the south, but they were all killed by that first-generation Yue virgin with a sword, right?"

Xie Lingjiang nodded: "The Yue girl slaying the dragon is a deep-rooted and ancient mythology in the land of Wu and Yue below. It echoes this pre-Qin historical fact in the classics of Qi practitioners."

Ouyang Rong listened with great interest. Xie Lingjiang paused in his words and suddenly turned around and said:

"Since the antidote is made from Biyiniao's inner elixir, it is very likely that it is still left in Senior Brother's body and is not completely exhausted, but..."

She looked at Ouyang Rong and hesitated to speak.

"Just what?" Ouyang Rong asked, then looked thoughtful, nodded and said: "If the antidote is still in my body, it means that I am still immune to this poison. Can you try it and find out?"

As he spoke, he calmly reached out and grabbed the two small porcelain bottles beside the teacup on the table.

"Senior brother, don't want it!"

Xie Lingjiang's little face became anxious, his almond-shaped eyes widened, and he rushed to Ouyang Rong's side, and tightly grasped his stretched out right wrist with his two jade hands.

"It's too dangerous, you...you are not allowed to do stupid things!"

"Uh, it's just a joke." Ouyang Rong's face was stern. He didn't expect that the junior sister would react so strongly and feel guilty.

"No joking allowed."

Xie Lingjiang silently let go of Ouyang Rong's hand and took a step back. The look on her pretty face seemed to be a little relieved. Then she stared into the eyes of the senior brother in front of her and said word by word:

"You are not allowed to joke like this, ever again."

Ouyang Rong had no choice but, under the supervision of his junior sister's death gaze, he nodded honestly and made a promise.

Xie Lingjiang wrinkled his nose slightly and warned him tirelessly:

"You are not a Qi practitioner. If the antidote fails and you are poisoned on the spot, it will be worse than the Jade Princess Fairy."

"I know."

Wait, isn't he the senior brother? Is the younger junior sister too strict... Ouyang Rong muttered in his heart.

"Actually, speaking of it, Senior Brother still doesn't know how to practice Qi. If Senior Brother is a Qi Practitioner, there can be a hundred ways to verify whether the inner elixir antidote for Biwing Bird is still in Senior Brother's body..."

Xie Lingjiang looked thoughtful, thought for a while, and sighed.

Ouyang Rong heard this, wiped his chin and said:

"Is it necessary to learn Qi skills as early as possible? Is it too late after the corresponding age? Is that true for me?"

In fact, he should have asked this question a long time ago, but he was busy with disaster relief and flood control and collecting merit, so he didn't pay much attention to spiritual energy cultivation.

In the past, it was only regarded as the kind of martial arts practice in martial arts novels that requires hard work and hard work. Practicing kung fu cannot be achieved overnight. He couldn't help but that he didn't have enough time, and he felt that he couldn't bear the hardship.

Now I have some interest.

Xie Lingjiang shook his head:

"That's not entirely true. Among ancient and modern qi practitioners, it's not that there are those who entered the Tao late in life and matured late in life.

"The main thing is to look at the innate physique. This is the same as talent. It doesn't matter whether you are high or low or of blood. You just rely on God to provide you with food. Although the senior brother is smart, intelligent, eager to learn and good at reading, but in terms of physical fitness..."

Xie Lingjiang and Ouyang Rong looked at each other, paused for a moment, and then said tactfully:

"Actually, Senior Brother's physique is within the normal category. It is the same as most people in this world. It is indeed normal."

Well, just like most people in the world, they are not suitable for practicing Qi.

Xie Lingjiang murmured in his heart.

The corner of Ouyang Rong's mouth twitched, he rolled up his sleeves and waved his slender white right hand:

"Junior sister, there is no need to comfort senior brother. Don't you know me? I heard from Aunt Zhen that I have been a bedridden medicine jar since I was a child. I was frail and sick... It only got better when I grew up. When I was in Bailudong Academy, I was taking care of my father.

Following my advice, I often exercise in the morning to keep fit.”

He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Xie Lingjiang's eyes were a little unbearable, and his hand subconsciously stretched forward, as if he wanted to grab someone's sleeve in front of him, but he silently retracted it halfway.

She persuaded in a low voice: "Senior brother, don't belittle yourself, you and I..." paused, "What about us."

Ouyang Rong only wanted to comfort her. In the quiet lobby in the morning, she muttered with emotion for a while, then turned around and asked:

"But didn't I hear my junior sister say before, senior brother, do I have any qi in my body that can allow you to see... What is the difference between this qi and the qi that you qi practitioners practice? Is there any technique that can transform it into spiritual energy?

Cultivation?"

Ouyang Rong paused for a moment. He seemed to think that this idea was a bit fanciful. He shook his head and said:

"Are you asking a bit too naively?"

"No, it's normal for senior brother to have such doubts."

Xie Lingjiang also shook his head gently:

"Elder Senior Brother is indeed very powerful, and he is even the most powerful and domineering person among the young generation in the academy that I have ever seen. Unfortunately, it is not enough to have invisible energy. There must be a suitable container to contain it in the human body.

Refining it into tangible cultivation within the small world is also the orthodox way of inner alchemy.

"The small world of the human body is just this container. It's a pity that most people's containers in this world are leaking from all sides. Even if they are born with a lot of qi, they can't pretend to be able to hold it, let alone practice qi..."

Xie Lingjiang's voice became smaller and smaller.

But Ouyang Rong understood what she meant instantly. She was talking about him, or most people in the world were like this:

There is no leak-proof container in the body, air leaks everywhere, and as much as it enters, it will be lost. How can you maintain your "spiritual energy cultivation" if you cannot make ends meet?

"It seems that you are right that your righteousness is leaking to the side. It makes you mutter all day long, okay now, crow's mouth. You are really leaking your righteousness. You have wasted this whole body of righteousness..."

Ouyang Rong seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but mutter.

"What are you talking about, senior brother?" Xie Lingjiang was curious.

"No, it's nothing."

Ouyang Rong came back to his senses, shook his head, and then asked in a low voice:

"Little Junior Sister, is this air leakage related to being a child?"

Xie Lingjiang was stunned and shook his head, "No, it won't affect it."

After finishing his words, Xie Lingjiang pursed his lips, stood up, and started wandering around the room again.

Seeing her lingering like this for a while, Ouyang Rong faintly heard the soft voice of the woman pacing with her head lowered, like she was talking to herself:

"Actually, it's not that the road is completely blocked and the air is leaking. It can be restored to a leak-free body the day after tomorrow. However, this level of anti-Tao magic medicine only exists in legends.

"And even if it is a magical elixir that can repair a little gas leakage, it is something that is hard to find from the gods. It is only in the secret vaults of those named hidden sects or Taoist families..."

Xie Lingjiang muttered in a low voice and looked north outside the door from time to time.

When Ouyang Rong heard these words, he warned him seriously:

"I'm just curious, little junior sister, don't waste your time thinking about it. Let's get back to business, do you have an idea about the poison of the winged bird?"

Xie Lingjiang withdrew his gaze from the flowing clouds on the eaves, glanced at Ouyang Rong beside him who was worriedly giving instructions, and said nothing in reply.
