Ziyun tried to persuade her, but Su Xin still complained to herself that she shouldn't have lent Gu Qing the formation flag and transmission talismans, and made Gu Qing suffer more.
Gu Qing walked down the mound, used the wind control technique to fly westward for a few miles, looked around at the terrain of the wilderness, and took out a jade map slip from his storage bag, injected a little mana into it, and displayed the long distance.
Map phantom of Creek Wilderness.
"Twenty miles further to the west is the gathering place for first-order demon wolves. With my current Taoist skills, I can't go there and waste my magic talismans. I'd rather hunt demon pigs around!"
Gu Qing exuded the aura of Anding's second level. He walked a few miles south and found a low-lying area. He was sure that it couldn't be seen from the hill where the camp was located, and he could vaguely see a level demon pig nearby.
trace.
Gu Qing set up the formation flag here, placed spiritual stones at the four corners of the formation, maintained the formation light curtain, and used it as a camp for meditation and recovery.
With the two top-grade magic weapons, the Red Fire Blade and the Ice String Sword, as well as a large stack of high-grade or even top-grade spiritual talismans, Gu Qing's confidence doubled, and he left the formation light curtain and flew straight towards the demon pig.
laugh!
A demon pig was lying down and rolling next to a puddle. When it noticed someone approaching, it immediately shot out thorns from its back!
Gu Qing had been on guard for a long time. He used the wind control technique to dodge in a hurry to avoid the earth thorns. Then he slapped the storage bag and cut out a bright red flame!
The red fire blade hit the demon pig, not only cutting open the demon pig's skin that looked like earth armor, but also triggered the effect of the flames, immediately burning the demon pig's fur.
The demon pig howled in pain, went berserk, and shot out thorns one after another!
Gu Qing's pupils shrank sharply, and he quickly used the wind control technique to retreat to avoid the earth thorns. He also did not forget to use his left hand to strike a wind blade with a finger, and opened another wound for the demon pig.
Just like this, Gu Qing fought and retreated, slashing out three wind blades in succession. Most of the mana in his body was consumed, so Gu Qing stopped trying the Tao Wind Blade technique.
When the demon pig was exhausted and stopped shooting the earth thorns, Gu Qing held the red fire blade and slashed at it!
puff!
The pig's head was cut off, and Gu Qing spent a lot of effort, but he was finally able to single-handedly defeat the first-order demon pig.
Gu Qing didn't bother to clean up the demon pig's fur. He really didn't like this material. He just hurriedly flew back to the formation flag he had laid down, swallowed a top-quality rejuvenation pill, and quickly restored his own magic power.
After his mana was fully replenished, Gu Qing took the best magic weapon, the Ice String Sword, and went around to look for the bad luck of the demon pig.
He also shot several wind blades and added the power of magic weapon, which resulted in the death of the demon pigs. Some demon pigs were able to stab the earth, and some were not. Gu Qing also tried the wind blades one more time, waiting for the mana in his body to be exhausted.
Most of the time, regardless of whether they were killed or not, Gu Qing would use the wind control technique to run back to the formation flag and take pills to replenish his mana.
In this way, Gu Qing tried the Taoist Wind Blade technique over and over again. He swallowed an unknown amount of the best recovery pills, and finally became proficient in the Wind Blade technique, and then practiced the Fireball Technique.
Gu Qing sat cross-legged in the formation flag, while recovering his magic power, he was practicing the jade slips recording the fireball technique. Not long after, Gu Qing came to a clear understanding, exited the formation light curtain of the formation flag, and ran towards the nearby
The demon pig casually clicked his fingers and made a secret, and the magic power in his body flowed from his index finger and middle finger, condensing into a ball of fire light!
boom!
The fireball blasted towards the demon pig, knocking it staggering immediately and burning half of its fur.
Gu Qing dodged the earth thorns shot by the demon pig and was hit by another fireball.
This time, the demon pig was completely covered in flames, and it rolled and crawled to run away.
Gu Qing caught up with the Wind Control Technique and slashed out the Red Fire Blade. A streak of red light killed the demon pig. He was secretly happy: Compared with the Wind Blade, the Fireball Technique was more powerful, but the attack was slower.
After practicing the fireball technique a few more times, Gu Qing put away the formation flag and headed back in the afterglow of the setting sun.
When he came back and saw Liu Sheng, Su Xin and others, Gu Qing said calmly:
"We'll go our separate ways tomorrow morning. You guys go to form a team to practice. I'll go around collecting herbs alone, and return to the tent in the evening. That's it. It's late at night, so everyone should go to bed early."
After that, Gu Qing yawned, stretched, and just went back to the tent to rest. Liu Sheng and Chen Hu also followed.
Only Su Xin and Zi Yun were left outside the tent, looking at each other for a long time.
Returning to his tent, Gu Qing was not idle either. He was sleeping in his clothes, but secretly he entered the Immortal Mansion and practiced other Taoist techniques on the edge of the spiritual field on the Xingya cliff of the Immortal Mansion.
"I have learned the wind control technique, wind blade technique and fireball technique. The fireball technique is not very proficient yet and I need to practice more. I have not yet learned the winding technique, thunderstorm technique, water concealment technique, spiritual eye technique and golden bell protection.
There is also a thick piece of Taoist secrets, Jade Slips, Mysterious Ice Curse, which records more than ten kinds of ice-based Taoist techniques. Fortunately, the Immortal Mansion has accumulated a large number of top-quality rejuvenating pills, enough to master all the Taoist techniques!"
In this way, Gu Qing practiced many Taoist techniques day and night. During the day, he went out alone to practice Taoist techniques and hunt monsters. At night, he returned to his tent and practiced daily elixirs to temper his body and consolidate his cultivation on the second level of Anding.
After the five people from Qinglingyuan practiced in the Changxi wilderness for more than 20 days, Gu Qing had mastered most of the Taoist techniques!
On this day, Gu Qing stopped going out to practice alone and suggested to the four people in Qingling Academy:
"In more than a month, the competition for the outer disciples will begin! If you want to practice in the Changxi wilderness, you can continue. I am going back to Yaogu Qingling Academy to practice in seclusion. If you have nothing important to do, please don't disturb me. Farewell!"
Gu Qingzhi met everyone and left calmly.
Chen Hu responded hurriedly: "That's right! We have been practicing in the Changxi Wilderness for more than twenty days, and my cultivation is about to break through to the second level of Anding. Hehe, I will go back to retreat too! Brother Gu is waiting for me.
"
Liu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, and finally said firmly: "Yes! Seclusion! Liu swears that he will never leave seclusion until he reaches the third level of Anding!"
Ziyun and Suxin looked at each other and made up their minds: "Okay, as Senior Brother Liu said, we two sisters are practicing in seclusion and will not come out until the third floor of Anding."
In the following days, everyone stayed in seclusion all day long, and Yaogu Qinglingyuan was much cleaner than before.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the day for the Yao Valley Outer Disciple Competition is getting closer and closer.
One day, the door of a room in Qinglingyuan suddenly opened, and the first person to come out was Liu Sheng, who had cultivated to the third floor of Anding!
After two or three days, Su Xin and Zi Yun came out of seclusion one after another, and both reached the third level of Anding!
On the eve of the competition, Chen Hu came out of seclusion with his head downcast and a bitter look on his face. His cultivation was fixed on the second floor of Anding, which made him extremely distressed.
Chen Huqiang smiled and congratulated the three senior brothers and sisters who had advanced to the third floor of Anding. He looked back at Gu Qing's closed door with a look of confusion on his face.
"Where's Brother Gu? Tomorrow is the competition for the outer disciples, and he's still in seclusion?"
Everyone was startled, Ziyun was a little worried:
"Do you want me to call Brother Gu out? Don't miss the date of the outer sect competition!"
Su Xin said calmly: "Don't go! Just let Gu Qing stay in seclusion forever. With his qualifications, even if he stays in seclusion for another two months, he still won't be able to hit the second floor of Anding! Can he go to the outer gate?
It has nothing to do with the disciple competition, at most I just went to watch the excitement."
Chen Hu looked bitter and sighed: "Ahem, forget it! We have thousands of outer disciples of the Medicine Sect. Every year, in the competition between outer disciples, only the top thirty can be promoted to inner disciples.
!Without the cultivation of the third level of Anding, there is no chance at all! Hey, not only the ancient disciples, but also me can only join in the fun. It seems that I want to find another way to enter the inner sect."
At this moment, there was a deep cough outside the Qingling Academy, and a figure in a moon-white satin gown that they were very familiar with appeared! He had returned after a long journey, and his whole body was exuding an overwhelming evil aura!
"Gu Qing!"
Liu Sheng raised his sword eyebrows and was shocked by the evil aura on Gu Qing's body! He quickly dispersed his consciousness and looked at Gu Qing carefully. Seeing that he was still at the first level of Anding, he couldn't help but frown.
"Brother Gu! Didn't you go into seclusion? Where did you come from? Have you killed many monsters of the same level? Otherwise, this amazing evil spirit wouldn't appear on your body!"
Ziyun was also horrified by the evil-minded Brother Gu, but when he saw Brother Gu's cultivation, he still sighed and showed great sympathy in his big eyes.
Chen Hu and Su Xin looked at Gu Qing, who seemed familiar yet strange at the same time, and were both a little distracted. It seemed that Gu Qing had more than just this layer of evil spirit! He was also a little more cold and a little more cold.
Mysterious! Unfathomable!
Gu Qing smiled calmly at them: "I have been out of seclusion for a long time. If I have nothing to do, I will go to Fengyu Town or Changxi Wilderness to collect herbs to kill monsters! It's just that this evil spirit on my body cannot be removed no matter how I cover it up or clean it.
, it can only dissipate over time!"
Su Xin snorted coldly and said coldly: "You are smart! Knowing that there is no hope of attacking the second floor of Anding in seclusion, you went outside to practice more. However, there is a two-level difference in cultivation between the first floor of Anding and the third floor of Anding.
There is a world of difference in strength! No matter how much you practice, you are still no match for us! Even if you want to defeat the second level of Anding, it will be extremely difficult!"
Gu Qing sneered in his heart, but his expression remained calm and indifferent. He nodded and agreed.
How could they know! At the beginning of Gu Qing's retreat last month, by opening the star crystal in the white jade gourd in the belly of the golden ant, his cultivation level soared from the second floor of Anding to Anding in just a few hours.
Three floors!
At that time, Gu Qing was surprised to find that on the boundary monument of Xingya in the Immortal Mansion, it was shown that his cultivation life on the third level of Anding was four years longer than that on the second level, reaching eighty-eight. The line of Star Crystal was marked:
Star Crystal, empty, nourishes the mind, and it takes forty-five days to recover. Compared with the thirty days to recover on the second floor of Anding, it is fifteen days longer.
Therefore, if Gu Qing wants to attack the fourth level of Anding and enter the middle stage of Anding, he must wait at least half a month for the competition between the outer disciples to be completed.
Even so, Gu Qing has consolidated the cultivation of the third level of Anding in these days, constantly practicing in the Changxi wilderness, and obtained many top-quality magic weapons and spiritual weapons in Fengyu Town Market, even at the expense of
I bought a top-quality sapphire ring that resists spell attacks and a Yunlan amulet that resists powerful attacks at a huge price! It can be said that all the equipment on my body is top-quality!
