Of course, you should keep a tight hold on such a potential stock with a bottom line.
Then there is Hua Ling.
Although he is not innate in martial arts yet, he might as well choose his skills first.
Her choice was not what Xu Rui expected, it was the ‘Jiamu longevity skill’.
This wood-based exercise is most suitable for flower spirits who like to refine medicine and cultivate spiritual plants.
As for spells, choose four.
Shaojia Aoki Technique and Taiyi Teng Teng Technique.
Both spells are seventh-grade inferior, the same level as the 'Jiamu Longevity Skill'.
The former uses hard wooden stakes to hit people, similar to the "wooden stake method" passed down from Maoshan.
The size of the wooden stake depends on the practitioner's cultivation level.
Taiyi Vine Wrapping Technique involves vines entangling and trapping enemies. The hardness and length of the vines are also determined by mana, and are somewhat similar to Si Teng's moves.
In addition, there is the eighth-grade low-grade ‘Xiaoyunyu Technique’, and the eighth-grade intermediate ‘Qingmu Peiyuan Technique’.
The former can generate clouds and rain, but the eighth level is inferior and can only rain in a small area to irrigate spiritual plants. Of course, if the magic power is strong enough, it is not impossible to rain heavily all over the sky.
Qingmu Peiyuan Technique is a technique that promotes the vitality of elixirs and spiritual trees and accelerates their growth.
Both are auxiliary spells.
Then there's the red girl.
After three months of double cultivation with Xu Rui, his cultivation has improved rapidly. Now he has reached the late stage of marrow cleansing. This is the result of his deliberate suppression considering the endurance of Miss Hong's body, otherwise it would have been faster.
Seeing her talent in martial arts, Hong Gu, who was full of confidence, was not shy about choosing spells.
The sixth-grade high-grade 'Throwing Beans into a Weapon'; the seventh-grade low-grade 'Stepping to the Void Technique'; the eighth-grade high-grade 'Spirit Armor Technique'; the eighth-grade intermediate 'Fire Technique'.
If Xu Rui's list didn't include the skill of the Feixue Dao, she would probably still have chosen it.
As for majoring in Kung Fu, she didn't choose.
Unlike Partridge Whistle and Hua Ling, she is a disciple of the Moon Gate. If she becomes a genius in martial arts in the future, she will also go back to learn the Moon Gate's techniques.
Spells don't matter, but fundamental laws don't work.
Xu Rui didn't force it.
After secretly urging Kunlun to pretend to choose a few spells, Xu Rui took back the "Secret Records of Qinglin".
"Brother Xu, when will we go to southern Yunnan?"
The partridge whistle still remembers the Muchen Bead.
"We will go after Honggu and Hua Ling are innate in martial arts and become true foundation-building monks."
Partridge Whistle nodded.
Red Girl’s cultivation speed is faster and she can build the foundation in up to one year.
But the flower spirit is a bit different.
"It seems that I need to cleanse the flower spirit more often in the future." Partridge Whistle secretly made up his mind.
"Okay, everyone has got the exercises, so hurry up and practice."
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.
The red girl also followed.
After returning to the cave, seeing that no one was following her, Xu Rui picked up Hong Gu and ran to the bedroom.
"Put me down, I have something serious to tell you."
"I also have serious things to do."
He went to the bedroom and took off the red girl's clothes three times.
A mandarin duck but a phoenix.
An hour later, the panting girl Hong pinched the soft flesh of his waist hard.
Angry eyes.
"Is this what you mean by serious business?"
Although it hurts, it doesn't matter to Seo Rui who has achieved his goal and enjoys it.
"Cultivation is of course a serious matter. Don't you feel that your cultivation has improved?"
"Raise your head."
After twisting her angrily, she lay in his arms, listening to her heart beating like a drum, and Miss Hong felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.
After a while.
"I almost forgot about the real thing."
He quickly raised his upper body.
"You said you would wait until Hua Ling and I established a foundation in martial arts before finding the Muchen Bead. At my current speed, I can achieve it in two or three months at most. But Hua Ling's training time is short, so I can cut off her hair with the Partridge Whistle alone.
It is estimated that it will take six or seven years to cleanse the marrow."
"...We have been waiting for such a long time, but Partridge Whistle may not be able to wait any longer. He is already thirty. In six or seven years, it will be time for the curse of the Zagrama tribe to break out. Once the curse breaks out, his life will be gone."
"Did Hua Ling tell you?"
The red girl nodded.
"Actually, it's not that exaggerated. Cultivation can suppress the curse in his body. If you look at it, it will take at least ten years before the curse breaks out."
"Then six or seven years is too long." After looking at his face, Miss Hong said cautiously, "How about I give some of the Shaoyang Pill to Hua Ling?"
"no."
Xu Rui decisively refused.
"Elixirs are precious, and I don't have any new ones for you."
Most of his Shaoyang Pills were put into the Jiuxian Gourd and turned into spiritual wine. The remaining ones in the magic bag were originally reserved for emergency use and were not much.
"Don't I still have you?"
"This matter is non-negotiable."
Hua Ling is just an outsider after all.
Seeing how straightforwardly he refused, Hong Gu didn't dare to say anything more.
Although Xu Rui accommodated her on some matters, when it came to major issues, Gan Gang was always the one to make the decision.
See her unhappy.
Xu Rui thought for a while.
"Let's do it like this. Once every two days, I will cut off the hair and cleanse the marrow of the flower spirit. Partridge Whistle and I will help her, and we will add some elixirs prepared by herself, so the speed of her cultivation will naturally double."
The way of cultivation involves the combination of civil and military disciplines. It is impossible to devote all twelve hours of a day to cultivation.
In the past, there was no way, and it had to be done in a life-and-death crisis. Now that the cultivation level is high, it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments.
And the higher the cultivation level, the more attention is paid to the training of the mind.
Blindly cultivating magic power will eventually lead to inferiority.
"That's great, this way the Hualing girl won't be left too far behind."
When excited, his body moved, which quickly aroused Xu Rui's anger.
Nothing said.
Just work hard.
…
The next day, Partridge Whistle and Hua Ling came to express their thanks after hearing the news.
"The owner of the valley has been so kind and kind, and the Partridge Whistle will definitely repay you generously."
With an excited tone, the honorific title Valley Master also replaced the previous 'Brother Xu'.
"Brothers Partridge Whistle, you are so polite. From now on, we are all one family. How can we distinguish each other?"
"Hua Ling, why don't you thank the Valley Master quickly?"
Hua Ling raised her hand with a bit of trepidation.
"Thank you, Brother Xu."
"Call the Valley Master."
"It doesn't matter, Brother Xu, just be Brother Xu. It sounds more friendly." After a pause, "By the way, since you are here today, let's start from today."
Partridge Whistle took the opportunity to say goodbye.
Watch him leave.
"follow me."
He said and walked towards the cave on the left.
After walking a few steps and seeing no movement behind me, I turned around and looked.
The little girl still stood there unmoved.
He raised his eyebrows.
"Follow me quickly."
Seeing him urging, Hua Ling pouted and followed.
Xu Rui's cave is divided into two parts: front and back.
The front part is the living room in the middle and bedrooms and storage rooms on both sides.
There are six bedrooms. Xu Rui lives in the largest master bedroom by himself. The guest bedroom next to it was originally assigned to Partridge Shao and the others, but later they moved out and it became vacant.
There are also six storage rooms, where purchased grain, salt, tea and other daily necessities are piled.
There are three back holes.
The largest one is the training room in the middle, which houses four Chunyang Iron Pavilions.
On the left is the alchemy room, where the Taiyi Yin and Yang furnace is placed.
To the right is a study combined storage room.
The inner chapters of "Secret Records of Qinglin", as well as the manuscripts of various exercises, various spiritual materials, elixirs, and magical instruments are all placed here.
Xu Rui pushed open an empty bedroom and walked in.
"Go to bed."
Hua Ling slowly took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Xu Rui sat cross-legged behind her.
The strong masculine aura behind her made her involuntarily recall those heart-pounding sounds in her mind.
Sudden.
A broad palm covered the top of his head.
The sudden contact made her so confused that she almost jumped up.
Xu Rui frowned and scolded slightly.
"Collect your mind."
Hua Ling quickly acted as she was told.
But it's not so easy to regain the mentality of a runaway wild horse.
Xu Rui was helpless.
Use magic power to recite the 'Heart Purifying Mantra'.
The spell was mixed with a light, mind-clearing power, which slowly soothed Hua Ling's heart.
After feeling that she had completely calmed down, Xu Rui's magic power went from Baihui to Rendu's second meridians, and then through the eight extraordinary meridians, slowly flowing throughout the body.
Hua Ling only felt a stream of warm air coming down from the top of her head. As it continued to circulate, her whole body felt warm, as if she had returned to her mother's body as a child, and she couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Only after the warm current disappeared did he wake up.
"That's it for today. Come back in two days."
Jumping out of bed, looking at Xu Rui with sweat on his forehead and a slightly tired look on his face, he couldn't help but feel grateful in his heart.
"Thank you, Brother Xu."
He waved his hand.
"Go ahead. I want to take a rest."
Hua Ling nodded, glanced at him, then opened the door and walked out.
After the bedroom returned to calm, Xu Rui let out a long breath.
Cutting off the hair and marrow of others is not an easy job. It requires extremely high control over mana.
In particular, his magic power is masculine and domineering, and it may cause damage to the meridians if he is not careful, so he has higher requirements for the ability to control his magic power.
But this is not without its benefits.
Superb ability to control mana is the basic condition for refining magic weapons.
After carrying Zhou Tian and recovering his mana, Xu Rui came to the alchemy room.
Looking at the three-legged cauldron in the center of the alchemy room, a gleam of excitement appeared in his eyes.
This 'Taiyi Yin and Yang Furnace' has never been used since he moved it here from the Pingshan Underground Palace.
Now as he advanced in the 'Lingbao Puppet Technique', he finally fully mastered its mystery.
As a former magic weapon-level pill furnace.
Although it has now fallen to the ninth grade, its foundation is no worse than that of the Brewmaster's Gourd and the Punishing Axe.
The Jiuxian Gourd has been refined by him into an eighth-grade inferior spiritual weapon, and the Punishing Axe and Taiyi Yin-Yang Furnace will naturally do the same.
It's just that he doesn't have enough resources at the moment, so he can only think of a solution later.
"I hope this 'trip to Worm Valley' can get suitable materials."
Because it has not been used for a long time, the spiritual fire attached to the 'Taiyi Yin and Yang Furnace' has been extinguished.
Fortunately, he still has two ninth-grade superior spiritual fires here.
Xiao Yi Chi Yang Spirit Fire.
Bingding Shaoyang Spiritual Fire.
One yin and one yang are suitable for the ‘Taiyi Yin and Yang Furnace’.
As for himself, after spending nearly four years in the "Si Teng Spiritual World" and one year in the present world, and five years later, he has become familiar with the fire nature of "Qingzhen Spiritual Fire".
