The Niwan Palace, also called the Upper Dantian Palace, is an important place for cultivators to nurture their spirit and cultivate their spiritual power. Once injured, they will not be able to advance to Grandmaster for the rest of their lives, and their life span will be greatly affected.
Because it is hidden deep in the mind and cannot be checked, no matter how brilliant a doctor is, no one can know it unless they search with mental power.
After he was injured, he never told anyone, and even the great elder didn't know about it. How could his son know about it?
"Could it be...that your teacher told you?"
With a flash of inspiration, Xu Tianlin suddenly realized.
"Uh, yes!"
Because Xu Hong was worried, he asked directly. He hadn't thought about how to cover up the lie. Unexpectedly, his father helped him find a reason again...
very nice!
Save yourself wasting your breath.
Seeing his admission, Xu Tianlin said with emotion: "It seems that your teacher is not simple, and his strength is at least a master, or even above! Otherwise, it would be impossible to see that my Niwan Palace is damaged without physical contact! Yes, I am because
It was an accident and I suffered a hidden injury, but it’s been sixteen years, so it’s not a big problem, so you don’t have to worry.”
Knowing that the other party was deliberately speaking casually, Xu Hong frowned and said: "The teacher said that your injury will greatly affect your life span. If you don't treat it, you will only have one year at most."
Xu Tianlin was silent.
Obviously he didn't expect that the teacher on the other side could even see this. How strong does it take to be mentally strong to do this?
I used to think that the other party was at most a master-level expert, but now it seems that I have underestimated him.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little happy.
If my son can have a good teacher, he will naturally be happy.
After a while, Xu Tianlin explained: "Niwan Palace is a place that contains spiritual power, like the Spiritual Valley that stores true energy. Once damaged, it is difficult to repair. I have tried many methods, but they are of no use unless... I can find the legendary
[Thin Wood Longevity Pattern], otherwise, it is almost impossible! And how can this thing be so easy to find..."
Xu Hong was stunned: "What is that?"
The longevity chart appeared just now, but he didn't understand it.
"Didn't your teacher tell you?"
Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, it was Xu Tianlin's turn to be confused, his brows furrowed slightly, "This is the foundation of an alchemist. Since you have started learning to make alchemy, how could your teacher not explain it to you!"
Unexpectedly, it was related to the alchemist. Xu Hong's expression did not change and he said casually: "Teacher has only asked me to recite the medicinal properties and pharmacology of medicinal materials in the past few years. He has not yet taught me the art of alchemy..."
Xu Tianlin suddenly realized, "Yes, no matter how powerful the alchemist is, if he doesn't understand the medicinal materials and the properties of the medicine, he is like a tree without roots and water without a source. No matter how advanced the art of alchemy is taught, it is all fake! Just like a warrior.
If you have not experienced this level of body tempering, your body will not be able to withstand the tearing of spiritual energy, so how can you gather the power in your Dantian and cultivate your true energy!"
After sighing, Xu Tianlin explained: "The rare wood longevity pattern is the extremely rare [wooden longevity pattern]! For example, [nanmu longevity pattern], [red sandalwood longevity pattern]..."
"this……"
Xu Hong was even more confused, "What is the longevity pattern?"
Xu Tianlin said: "You know that trees have annual rings, right?"
Xu Hong nodded.
Xu Tianlin said: "The annual rings are the lines that appear on the cross-section of trees every year. [Shou lines] are similar to this, but they are related to life span.
"Plants, animals, or some special natural environments, under certain circumstances, encounter disasters and escape from death, will naturally give birth to a special pattern that contains vitality. This is the [Shou Pattern]!
"The reason why alchemists are also called [life-increasing masters] is because they can find this thing and refine it into medicines. Therefore, they can extend people's lives and solve the hidden wounds in the soul. Otherwise, the combination of medicinal materials
No matter how good it is, it's just nutritional supplements at most, so how can we increase the upper limit of life span and make people live longer?"
"this……"
Xu Hong was shocked.
He has taken Qi-enhancing liquid, Qi-tonifying spirit liquid, and also eaten medicinal herbs such as Tianxing Luoshen, Qingyan Jiupinhua and Snail Cloud Fruit, but the upper limit of his lifespan has not been increased because of them!
In terms of the effect of increasing the upper limit alone, it is not even as good as laughing...
On the contrary, the black lines found in the roots of the Zhuoqing tree obtained from the scammer have such effects.
Could it be that...this is the so-called [Shou Mark]?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask, "Is the longevity pattern my father mentioned a kind of black pattern that appears in the roots of trees?"
"Um!"
Xu Tianlin nodded, "Black should be the lowest level, but it may not be in the rhizome, it may also be in the trunk. Anyway, if you are not an alchemist, it is difficult to sense it, let alone find it... I didn't give up hope at first.
But if you can become a real alchemist in the future, maybe you can really find this thing and help me heal the injury in Ni Wan Palace. I didn’t tell you before, just because I didn’t want you to increase the pressure!”
"Dad, don't worry! I will definitely succeed!"
Xu Hong nodded with serious eyes.
Practicing the Qingdi Immortality Kung Fu, one is extremely sensitive to this kind of black pattern. Others cannot find it, but he may not be able to find it.
"I also believe that my son will succeed..."
Speaking of this, Xu Tianlin shook his head and did not continue to struggle with this issue. Instead, he looked over with a curious face, "I won't talk about it anymore. There is something I have always been confused about, and I want to ask it in person!"
Xu Hong looked over and said, "Father, please speak!"
Xu Tianlin said: "Why do you laugh every time you kill a beast?"
"???"
Xu Hong was stunned.
Xu Tianlin: "Also, and why do you steal food in the middle of the night and laugh while eating it?"
"..."
Feeling the death of society, Xu Hong suppressed his face and turned red, and asked: "Dad, I remember when you went to see Alchemist Xu Jiang for the first time, you came back and said that not only did you meet him, but you also gave you spiritual liquid?"
"..."
Xu Tianlin's mouth twitched.
It’s really the father (hu) who is kind (xiang) and the son (shang) who is filial (hai)!
…
In the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion, three top masters of Jiyuan City, Shen Fang, Liu Yunhao, and Chen Moyun, were sitting there.
"City Lord, do you think that today's beast tide came at such a coincidence..."
After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Liu Yunhao suddenly spoke.
"Um!"
Shen Fang nodded, "Not to mention that it is difficult to form a beast tide. Even if it can, it mostly occurs at night. Only when it attacks humans can it be impossible to guard against it. In broad daylight, and it is still noon, it rushes directly... It is indeed a bit weird.
.”
Liu Yunhao said: "Not only that, we happened to be in Xujiazhuang. One hour earlier or one hour later, we might have missed it, as if we were deliberately trying to put us to death..."
Shen Fang waved his hand, "Okay, don't make random guesses! Without evidence, guessing too much will be troublesome. The Xu family now, with that [Alchemist Xu Jiang] joining, is different from the past, and we can't offend easily!"
"
"yes!"
Liu Yunhao nodded.
No matter what level or strength that [Xu Jiang] is, as long as it has something to do with elixirs, he cannot be provoked by the lord and family of a small town.
Shen Fang said: "As for the bet, what are you going to do?"
Looking at each other, Liu Yunhao and Chen Moyun each smiled bitterly.
We have already signed the agreement, what else can we do?
I thought that if the two families united to compete for the championship, the second place would be easy. I never thought that the Xu family would be the winner...
After thinking for a moment, Liu Yunhao said: "Actually, I have a way. Although Xu Ying said that Xu Hong was stronger and he felt ashamed, he didn't take action after all. We just don't admit it..."
Chen Moyun frowned, "Isn't this bad!"
Liu Yunhao shook his head, "There's nothing we can do about it...otherwise, are you really willing to hand over the firm?"
Chen Moyun was speechless.
Once handed over, the Chen family will become a second-rate force in less than a month, and the so-called three major families will become a thing of the past...
Liu Yunhao said: "Since we don't want to, we will insist that Xu Hong is not strong enough and did not participate in the competition, so he is not the champion!"
"good!"
Knowing that this was the best reason and method, Chen Moyun could only nod his head. Just as he was about to continue saying something, he saw a guard hurriedly walked in from outside and stood in the city lord's ear and said a few words.
The latter's expression immediately changed.
"City Lord, what happened?"
Liu Yunhao looked over.
After tapping his fingers on the tea table a few times, Shen Fang said: "My spies just reported that... the man in black robe is none other than Xu Hong in disguise!"
Xu Tianlin announced Xu Hong's identity. Although everyone in the tribe said they would not say more, the news still leaked out.
It is easy for one person to keep a secret, and it is not difficult for two people. But if hundreds of people want to keep it, it is almost impossible to succeed!
"Xu Hong? How is this possible? He is only 16 years old, right?"
"Is the news reliable?"
After receiving confirmation from the other party again and again, the two clan leaders widened their eyes at the same time and almost fainted.
Alone, he killed seven or eight hundred wind wolves, a red-haired giant ape, two armored lions, and four red-browed tigers... For a strong man of this strength, they actually said that they would win by participating in the competition of the younger generation. Not the champion...
Your brain was kicked by a donkey!
"It seems I can't deny it..."
Chen Moyun was helpless.
If you are weak, there is no harm in relying on you.
But for such a strong man, if he really wants to win the championship, why not bury them all in a matter of minutes?
"I don't think so!"
Thinking of something, Liu Yunhao's eyes flashed and he said: "The Xu family said that the man in black robe is Xu Jiang, the alchemist who sells the medicinal solution! If it is Xu Hong, doesn't it mean... Xu Hong is Xu Jiang? "
"So what?"
Chen Moyun looked over and didn't understand what he meant.
Liu Yunhao said: "I asked specifically before, and Xu Hong also admitted that he has never left Jiyuan City... Then who did he learn the medicine technique from?"
Chen Moyun was stunned, "Could it be a hidden master who taught you secretly?"
"Do you think it's credible?"
Liu Yunhao shook his head, "How high is the status of the alchemist? I don't need to say more. Both of you understand that this kind of person will stay in Jiyuan City for several years for the sake of the young patriarch of a small family? Even if there is such a person, I don't believe it. He was able to hide himself so well that he never showed his face once, and even the Xu family didn't know about it..."
"This..." Chen Moyun was speechless.
This is indeed a bug.
No matter who it is, as long as they survive, they need to eat, drink, have sex, and socialize. Once they have these, it is impossible to hide it from them, let alone the Xu family.
But the teacher on the other side seemed as if he never existed.
Chen Moyun looked over, "What do you mean..."
Liu Yunhao said: "I think we have entered into a misunderstanding! Whether it is Qi-enhancing liquid or Qi-tonifying spiritual liquid, they are just medicinal liquids, not elixirs. They can be refined even if they are not elixir masters. Perhaps, he
The teacher may not exist. It is just a coincidence that I got the inheritance from a certain alchemist, and my cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and I was able to refine these two things! Otherwise... Why should I hide such an honorable thing from being able to worship an alchemist as my teacher?
Just keep it under wraps and no news will come out at all?"
Chen Moyun fell silent.
This analysis makes sense.
Being an alchemist is an honor, and he is not a fugitive. As for hiding him?
Liu Yunhao's eyes flickered, showing a hint of greed, and said: "If... my guess is right, it is really just the inheritance of the alchemist. Once we have the chance to get it, everyone will make rapid progress..."
Chen Moyun frowned and said: "Who is willing to let go of the inheritance of the alchemist after getting it? What's more, Xu Hong's strength is so strong. If I really want to snatch it, I'm afraid I'll be killed by his flying knife before I even take action!"
Liu Yunhao's eyes turned cold and he sneered: "Why rob? We only need to threaten and leak the news if you don't hand it over... As long as he is not stupid, he should know how to make a choice!"
What is kindness? In the face of great interests, it is nothing. If you cannot do this, you are not worthy of being the head of the family.
"Let's do this. Let's go to Xu's house together tomorrow. I'll be the bad guy, and you guys will be the red face. We'll check their tone first to make sure they don't have a background as an alchemist, and then we'll find a way to force... to earn greater benefits. Even if
Even if you can’t get the inheritance, you still have to get the share of the Qi-tonifying spiritual fluid, or at the worst, you have to give up the bet!”
"good!"
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yunhao said.
"Where is the city lord?"
After the discussion, the two clan leaders looked at each other.
"I'll go over too. Just like I said last time, no matter what benefits you get, I'll take 50% of it!" Shen Fang's eyes turned cold.
"Um!"
The three major forces immediately made a decision.
…
At dawn the next day, Xu Hong got up.
I was in a coma yesterday and rested for a long time. I went to bed very early last night and was completely full.
He stretched out and slowly practiced the Qingdi Immortality Kung Fu for a while, consolidating his cultivation for a while, then opened the door and walked out.
The sun was shining brightly, and the air that had just rained seemed a little damp.
There was a heavy rain at midnight last night, which washed away all the blood and traces left on the mountain.
Fortunately it was still dark, so all the bodies were moved to the cellar. Otherwise, the furs would have been stained and would have been worthless.
"Brother Hong!"
As soon as he left the house, Xu Ying came over to greet him.
"Did you break through again?"
Xu Hong was stunned.
At this time, Xu Ying, like him, had also reached the out-of-body state!
Although it’s only the early days, it’s going very quickly!
After all, he was given the "Golden Cauldron Jue" just yesterday, and it took him another night to break through...
Xu Ying's eyes were filled with excitement, "In the past, practicing cultivation was like exercising with shackles, and you couldn't exert your strength. But now, I feel very relaxed, and I no longer have the shackles before..."
After listening to what he said, Xu Hong couldn't help but nod, "This is the terrifying nature of the Nine Meridians talent... If anyone asks in the future, just say that you are the same teacher as me!"
Xu Ying nodded.
He is not stupid either, so he naturally knows how to answer.
Even with Nine Meridians talent, it is impossible to progress so quickly without a good teacher.
While the two were talking, many tribesmen came over. When they saw it was Xu Hong, they all showed excitement and admiration.
I can't wait to rush over and ask for an autograph...
It seems that this state will last for a long time...
"Young Patriarch, Master Xu Ying, the Patriarch is looking for you!"
At this moment, a tribesman came forward.
He and his cousin looked at each other, and the two followed closely behind and walked toward the living room.
As soon as they entered it, they saw the city lord Shen Fang, the head of the Liu family, Liu Yunhao, and the head of the Chen family, Chen Moyun, all sitting in the guest seats, while his father was sitting in the main seat, chatting with them.
"Hong'er, come and sit here!"
Seeing him walking in, Xu Tianlin pointed to a place next to him.
This is also considered the chief position, and it is higher than the position of the great elder. He is only the young patriarch, sitting in front of the city lord and the two masters... Is it inappropriate?
Just as he was wondering, he saw the city lord and the two clan leaders standing up and clasping their fists at the same time, "Thank you, clan leader Xu Hong, for your life-saving grace yesterday! If you hadn't taken action, we might have been killed by armored lions and other ferocious beasts..."
Xu Hong's eyes narrowed.
No wonder his father asked him to sit in the upper position. It seems that the other party already knows his "true identity"!
However, if you know it, you will know it.
After practicing the Pohong Jue to perfection, reaching the peak of the Out-of-Body Realm, and the peak of the Chenggang Realm, he could kill anyone with a single strike, not to mention these three, who were no longer fearful.
After thinking about this, Xu Hong didn't care. He cupped his fists and returned the greeting, "You three are so polite. This is what I should do!"
After the greetings were over, Liu Yunhao and the remaining two nodded, and stood up with a determined expression, "I came here today firstly to fulfill the bet, and secondly, I also want to visit the teacher of Mr. Xu Hong, who can Educating a young talent like you and saving our lives is also a life-saving grace. I wonder if we can meet each other so that we can show the courtesy that only juniors have..."
Xu Hong shook his head, with rejection in his voice, "I'm sorry, Teacher, he has always been a stoic man. He doesn't even see my father, let alone outsiders!"
"Oh I see!"
Liu Yunhao suddenly smiled slightly, "I wonder... is it really missing, or is this person not there at all?"
Xu Hong raised his eyelids.
Liu Yunhao went straight to the point and said: "Maybe I'm talking nonsense, don't blame me, young clan leader. I think... your teacher doesn't exist at all! The reason why you know how to refine medicine is because you have been passed down by the alchemist... "
Xu Tianlin angrily shouted: "Liu Yunhao, what do you mean?"
Liu Yunhao said: "My idea is very simple, that is... I think that Xu Hong, the young patriarch, was the one who refined the medicinal liquid after receiving the inheritance from an alchemist, rather than being cultivated by someone..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a dagger appearing in the young man's hand. It was spinning in the palm of his hand, and a cold light suddenly appeared.
Feeling locked by the aura, Liu Yunhao's pupils shrank, but he still said bravely: "You... it's useless even if you kill me. I have already told a tribesman about this and asked him to leave Jiyuan City. As long as I If you die here, no matter what the reason is, he will pass the news that you have obtained the inheritance of the alchemist to any corner of the Liyuan Dynasty..."
"You threaten me?"
Xu Hong looked over.
Sure enough, the common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade. He has such strength, and the other party dares to threaten him. This shows how attractive the inheritance of the alchemist is, so that he can even forget about saving his life.
Fortunately, when he was weak before, he kept a low profile and didn't tell anyone, otherwise... he would have been poisoned long ago.
This is human nature.
You can believe it, but don't be tempted.
Liu Yunhao gritted his teeth and said: "Just discussing the matter... Once the news about the inheritance of the alchemist is leaked, I think many forces will definitely be tempted... Instead of that, it would be better for our three major families to continue to unite and control it together..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw an elder running in hurriedly outside the door.
"Clan leader..."
"What's wrong?" Xu Tianlin frowned slightly.
The elder quickly said: "There is an old man outside, accompanied by a guard, who claims to be Yang Mo, the Supreme Elder of Danyuan Sect... I want to see Master Xu Hong!"
"Dan Yuan Sect? The first sect of the Li Yuan Dynasty? The existence that the royal family must worship every year?"
"One of the Supreme Elders, who has a higher status than the sect leader, actually wants to...want to meet Master Xu, Master Xu?"
Liu Yunhao and others, who were confident just now and thought that Xu Hong must be just a lucky person who received the inheritance and had no teacher at all, immediately turned pale.
There are more than 10,000 updates. In addition to the guarantee, the rest is for the alliance leader Fei Xiangjia Bajie to add updates. In addition, don’t forget the recommended votes and monthly vote list.
