Naturally, Xu Chen and the others didn't know that as soon as the Resurrection Tree bloomed, the elder rushed to the Yuqing Palace to ask the master to help him make elixirs.
Of course, the people in Yuqing Palace didn't even know that the resurrecting tree really came back to life before death, and after a few days of returning to the light, it completely withered away.
At the moment, I still don’t know how the Great Elder will feel when he sees the dead Resurrection Tree after he returns, and whether he will have the urge to hang himself and be buried.
However, these have nothing to do with Xu Chen and the others. They could actually get three bottles of Xiaoyuan Dan while shopping. For them, who were currently in a state of poverty and fuming, it was as exciting as timely rain.
Even the Ninth Senior Brother, who has always been full of disdain for Yuqing Palace, kept saying that the grace of the famous sect was indeed a model in the immortal world and a true love in the world, worthy of his flattery.
Three bottles of Xiaoyuan Dan are worth ten spiritual stones in total.
What's more, the alchemists of Yuqing Palace are more skilled. The quality of these Xiao Yuan Dan is obviously much better than that refined by the Third Elder. You can clearly tell the difference just by looking at the color and smell.
Brother Ninth smiled and said: "It seems that I will go to the Treasure Pavilion more times when I have time in the future, and maybe I can buy a few more bottles of pills for free."
Zhao Xuan spat and said: "Brother, you are an immortal, can you stop acting like a hooligan?"
Brother Ninth said righteously: "How can a man go back on his word? No!"
Zhao Xuan used her hand to pinch Brother Ninth Brother's arm. While the two were fighting, Xu Chen's footsteps suddenly froze slightly and stopped for half a beat.
"Junior brother, what happened?" Zhao Xuan, who was more sensitive, stopped and asked in a low voice.
Xu Chen let go of his spiritual consciousness and searched carefully within a hundred feet, but found nothing, so he quickly withdrew his spiritual consciousness and sent a message to Brother Ninth Brother and Zhao Xuan:
"Just now I felt a trace of spiritual consciousness, but it disappeared in an instant."
Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There are quite a few cultivators in the capital. There are more immortal monks congratulating the emperor on his birthday now. Maybe some of them are passing by and inadvertently releasing their spiritual consciousness to explore the environment."
Xu Chen shook his head and said with a serious face: "I am somewhat familiar with this spiritual consciousness. When I left Wuyang late at night, I had discovered this spiritual consciousness before. I thought it was an illusion. But if I discovered it again today, it must not be
It’s an illusion.”
When the Ninth Senior Brother heard this, his face instantly became solemn, and his spiritual consciousness said: "Little Junior Brother, do you think he is from the Ziyang Sect?"
Xu Chen nodded lightly.
The lively mood of the three people calmed down in an instant. Zhao Xuan said doubtfully: "This is a bit strange. This person followed us in Wuyang. Why did he follow us all the way to the capital without taking action? It's also very strange."
Brother Ninth thought for a moment and seemed to relax a lot, and said: "It seems that the opponent is not very strong. In addition, we killed a True Yuan Realm companion, so he must be a little scared, so he followed us all the way to monitor us.
I'm looking for another opportunity to get off the phone."
Xu Chen roughly understood it, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then what should we do now?"
Brother Ninth said: "We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid that thieves will miss you. Since we have discovered it, we will naturally find it and kill it."
Zhao Xuan said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Junior Brother discovered the other party's spiritual consciousness twice, but you and I didn't. It shows that the other party is also very strong, at least a strong man in the True Yuan Realm. Even if we find it, the three of us will have to deal with it.
No, if it hadn't been for junior brother's spiritual attack last time, we might all have died."
Brother Ninth gritted his teeth and said: "Then we need to think more about it. Since he was timid and did not take action directly, it means that his strength is not stronger than last time. In addition, he did not help last time, which shows that his mind is not very pure."
Xu Chen wondered: "Brother, are you saying that this guy wants to swallow the elixir for himself?"
The Ninth Senior Brother bared his teeth and said with a smile: "That's natural. Now that the treasure is in sight, it's not like our fellow disciples can't betray it."
Xu Chen immediately subconsciously took two steps back and looked at the Ninth Senior Brother with vigilance.
The Ninth Senior Brother was suddenly embarrassed, rubbed the back of his head and laughed dryly: "Junior brother, don't worry, our senior brothers from the Taiyuan Sect have deep feelings and will definitely sacrifice their lives to save each other."
Zhao Xuan lightly kicked the Ninth Senior Brother and said, "Why are you joking? This person is good at concealing his spiritual consciousness, but it is not easy to find him."
The Ninth Master said seriously: "That's true. It seems that to find this guy, I have to take action from my junior brother. Your consciousness is stronger than ours."
Xu Chen smiled bitterly and said: "As long as he really appears, I may be able to find him, but he is very careful. His consciousness is fleeting every time, and he is not within a hundred feet, so I can't track him at all."
At this point, Xu Chen released his spiritual consciousness and once again carefully scanned the distance of a hundred feet, and then said through a message: "In addition, I am worried that they already know about the Blood God Grass, so this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the night will be long and the dreams will be endless."
Ninth Senior Brother and Zhao Xuan looked at each other, then nodded together. The three of them exchanged a few words with their spiritual consciousness, and then left quickly.
After sensing that they were being followed, the three of them suddenly became vigilant and simply stopped shopping and went straight back to the inn.
Although I accidentally got three bottles of Xiaoyuan Dan in Zhenbao Pavilion and made a fortune out of thin air, I felt happy for a while, but after that, I felt even more disappointed.
The Taiyuan Sect is also considered a prestigious Xianmen Dojo in the Song Dynasty. In the eyes of casual cultivators and ordinary people, it is a superior existence. However, compared with the rich and powerful Yuqing Temple, it is just a local chicken and a dog. It cannot be described as a shabby one.
.
Even when the three of them looked at the three bottles of Xiaoyuan Dan, they felt as sad as a beggar who had been given alms, and the previous excitement was gone.
The Treasure Pavilion is just a business in the mortal world at the outer gate of Yuqing Palace. Although the things inside are considered precious, they are actually ordinary things that are common in the world of immortality.
But none of the three of them could afford these ordinary things that Yuqing Palace looked down upon.
"Damn it, Yuqing Palace is bullying people too much!"
Senior Brother Ninth walked back and forth in the room with his arms folded, cursing constantly and looking unconvinced.
Zhao Xuan was angry and funny, playing with the little fox, and said: "Brother, on the way back just now, you praised Yuqing Palace like a flower, and then you scolded others in the next moment. This is too snobbish!"
Xu Chen also curled his lips and said: "Senior brother, if you don't like this little Yuan Dan, give it to me first. I'm so poor now that I can't wait to go to Yuqing Hall and kneel down to call daddy!"
Brother Ninth glanced sideways and threw Xiao Yuan Dan to Xu Chen and said: "I really don't like a bottle of Po Dan that is not even good!"
After saying that, he took out a palm-sized animal skin bag full of mysterious patterns from his arms, stared at it with his spiritual consciousness for a long time, and finally sighed, sat down on the chair and said: "The treasure in this storage bag must not be...
Young Master, in addition to the Guiyuan Pill, there may be many spiritual stones and other treasures. Alas, it’s a pity that we can’t open them.”
Xu Chen happily put away the Xiao Yuan Dan and came over. He took the storage bag from Brother Ninth Brother and stared at it for a moment. He also specially stimulated the blue jade beads in the sea of consciousness to attack the soul-locking burst of the storage bag, but it was a pity that
There was no movement at all, but the pain in his head was as painful as a needle pricking his face.
Ever since they killed the Ziyang Sect monk and obtained this storage bag, the three of them had been studying it whenever they had free time on the way to the capital, but unfortunately there was no solution after a few days.
The Ziyang Sect is a large-scale immortal sect in the Ming Dynasty. It has been passed down for a long time and has its own set of secret techniques and spell systems. Although this storage bag may seem inconspicuous, if you penetrate it with your spiritual sense, it will be filled with hundreds of talismans.
It is blocked by the compass formation formed by Wen, and can only be unlocked using Ziyang Sect's unique method. If it is forcibly destroyed, the contents inside will definitely explode into fly ash in an instant.
Of course, if you are strong enough, you can also use your spiritual consciousness to forcefully destroy the formation and open it. However, in this case, the storage bag will most likely be destroyed, and the mouth of the bag will no longer be able to be sealed, causing it to look like nothing.
Just like a young lady wearing clothes, the things inside will be exposed in full view of the public, and any monk may take them away.
Brother Ninth sighed and stood up and said, "No, we have to find a way to pry open this storage bag."
Zhao Xuan was surprised and said: "Senior brother, don't use force."
Brother Ninth shook his head and said: "Junior sister, don't worry, but sitting here in a daze will definitely not work. I have to go out and find some friends on the road to help find a solution."
Xu Chen covered his forehead and reminded: "Brother, this storage bag can be seen as dark."
Brother Ninth thought for a moment and threw the storage bag to Xu Chen and said: "Little brother, please rest well in the inn. Your soul is damaged. Don't use your soul easily recently. To deal with the people of Ziyang Sect, you will have to use your full strength in the end. I
Go out with your junior sister to inquire about the recent trends in the fairy world, and at the same time go to several monk trading places to see if you can find a way to open the storage bag."
After hearing this, Zhao Xuan handed the little fox to Xu Chen and said: "It is indeed the case. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. We are very passive. Opening the storage bag is not a big deal. We must find a way to deal with the Ziyang Sect, otherwise we will become more passive."
Although Xu Chen also wanted to go out and broaden his horizons, he thought that he really needed a good rest to restore his soul in order to face the upcoming battle with the Ziyang Sect, so he nodded and put away the storage bag.
After the three simply exchanged a few words with their spiritual senses, the Ninth Senior Brother and Zhao Xuan left the inn together.
Xu Chen lay down on the bed, put the little fox holding the black bead in its mouth on his forehead, then closed his eyes and began to absorb the energy of the black bead, while silently practicing Xuan Gong, practicing every opportunity.
Cultivation is a journey, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.
Just like ordinary people exercising, if you don't exercise for a few days, you will start to feel weak and fat.
The Kaiyuan realm mainly relies on exercises to condense the innate essence dispersed in the internal organs, muscles, bones, skin and flesh, and slowly sort it out into the Dantian. The sooner this process occurs, the better. Once you reach adulthood, the innate essence will follow the flesh and blood.
The growth is massively consumed and eventually disappears completely.
However, the meridian Dantian in the Kaiyuan realm has just been successfully opened and is not stable, so it will be in a state of leakage at any time. If you do not practice diligently, the energy accumulated in the Dantian will slowly dissipate.
Only after building the foundation, the acupuncture points of the whole body and the meridians and Dantian are completely integrated into one, forming a closed vitality circulation system, so that the vitality will not leak out, and then the vitality can be concentrated and continuously accumulated, and finally condensed into elixirs.
Although the three steps of refining and transforming Qi, Qi training, foundation building, and elixir formation, are of the same origin, if the innate Jingyuan is insufficient at the beginning, resulting in the opening of the Dantian that is not large enough, and the accumulated Qi in the end is not enough to cause quantitative changes to drive qualitative changes, then it will stop at
In the Kaiyuan realm, no matter how good the elixir is, it cannot help break through.
Once the foundation is successfully established, there will be an almost complete transformation, and you will begin to truly embark on the road.
Therefore, only monks in the foundation-building stage can be called real people, and generally they will also have Taoist titles.
In the Kaiyuan realm, lifespan is basically about a hundred years, but in the True Yuan realm, one can easily live to 150 years old, and the lifespan increases by 50%. In the Danyuan realm, the lifespan almost doubles, and some people can live to more than 300 years. Really
He is a true immortal who is immortal in the eyes of mortals.
However, Xu Chen's qualifications are limited. Although his innate essence is much stronger than ordinary people, his physique is also very rubbish in the world of immortality.
But now that they have embarked on this road, no one is willing to give up halfway. As long as there is a chance, they will fight hard and persevere. After all, immortality is an unstoppable temptation for any living being. No one will think that they have a long life, unless they live long enough.
Impatient.
Treasures are truly valuable, but life is even more valuable. If you want to live forever, everything can be thrown away.
For monks, immortality is their only belief.
Xu Chen might have felt a little melancholy about his qualifications in the past, but since he obtained the blue jade beads, he slowly discovered that maybe he had no chance of successfully building a foundation.
Because of his recent practice, he feels very relaxed and comfortable. It is not as difficult and obscure as before. It seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Especially after the black-clothed Taoist who faced the Ziyang Sect twice activated the Yuzhu last time, although his soul suffered unparalleled pain and even fell into a coma for a time, after slowly recovering, he found that his soul was actually much more powerful.
In the process of cultivation, the control of the condensation of vitality and the operation of magic formulas is also more refined, and more innate essence hidden in the muscles, bones, flesh, and internal organs can be refined into vitality and incorporated into the sea of qi.
Therefore, during this period, Xu Chen's interest in cultivation became more intense.
He felt that as long as he continued to persevere, he would be able to reach the middle stage of the Kaiyuan Realm in at most half a month, and his strength would have improved a lot by then.
