"Thank you, Master Chen, for giving me the name. From today on, my first name will be Lengchou, and my nickname will be Qiuqiu." Qiuqiu made up a nickname for himself.
Xia Qingchen nodded: "You and my father go back to Nanxia Mansion first, and I will go to the temple."
His current cultivation speed is good for ordinary people, but for Xia Qingchen, it is still too slow.
Therefore, some shortcuts need to be taken.
In his previous life, he developed several medicines that were beneficial to cultivation in the Xiaochen realm. One of them, Dragon Blood Powder, could double the speed of cultivation.
What's even more rare is that the materials for this medicine are not expensive and should be available in the temple.
Xia Yuan nodded and said: "Gods are rare. You should try your best to exchange for things that improve your cultivation. Don't waste it."
"I understand." Xia Qingchen said.
"In addition, your aunt wrote a letter a month ago. My cousin will come by merchant ship and is expected to arrive in Yungu City in half a month. You will greet her then." Xia Yuan reminded, lest Xia Qingchen would remain in seclusion for several months again.
Missed this.
Xia Cangliu has three children, Xia Yuan is the eldest, Xia Xun is the second, and the youngest daughter, Xia Jie.
She married into a small aristocratic family in the capital and had a daughter named Zhao Churan.
In Xia Qingchen's impression, his cousin Zhao Churan had been to Yun Gucheng several times and was as dignified and beautiful as pearls and jade.
Three years have passed, and I don’t know what she looks like now.
"Okay, father." Xia Qingchen noted this and walked to the temple.
After showing the Queen to the temple guards, the guards led Xia Qingchen to the depths of the temple with an envious expression.
The temple is divided into three floors: inner and outer.
The outermost layer is the hall where statues of gods are worshiped.
The middle layer is where the gods live and practice.
The inner layer is where the palace master, elders and other high-level officials live. It is a restricted area and cannot be entered at will.
Under the leadership of the guards, Xia Qingchen arrived at the middle level.
Hundreds of luxurious houses are lined up in rows, neatly planned and equipped with everything you need.
One of the attics named "Shen Pavilion" is the most grand.
"After exchanging things, leave quickly. Don't stay for a long time. People from the inner level will occasionally appear in the middle level, so as not to offend them unintentionally." The guard guided Xia Qingchen into the divine pavilion and left with a reminder.
Xia Qingchen nodded and entered the divine pavilion. There were one hundred counters in the pavilion, listing various categories of elixirs, martial arts and weapons.
In addition, there are thirty training rooms.
There is so much energy in the room that one day of practicing inside is equivalent to one and a half days of practicing outside. The effect is half a day longer, which is very amazing.
Xia Qingchen was slightly moved. It was hard to find a place like this in Yun Gucheng.
But unfortunately, the training room is only open to temple personnel.
Not even if there is a God.
Suddenly, Xia Qingchen suddenly discovered that there was a blank area behind the thirty training rooms. There, a small tree as tall as a man grew out of the slate bricks with difficulty.
"The leaves are crisp, the roots are fat, and the essence is full. There is something strange near this tree." He walked near the small tree, closed his eyes, and found that the essence in the air was sparse and normal.
It was only when I got closer to the small tree that I discovered that the tree was constantly releasing essence. The closer I got to the tree, the thicker the essence became.
The most dense place is twice as dense as the outside world, and the essence in the practice room is far less rich.
"It should be because the little tree absorbed the underground essence and revealed it." Xia Qingchen analyzed.
What is commendable is that the small tree has not been around for long, and no one has yet discovered this treasure.
Looking around, there was no one around. Xia Qingchen immediately sat cross-legged, seizing the rare opportunity to practice the "Heavenly Heart of Light and Darkness" in an effort to open up another small vein.
Sure enough, with the help of twice the amount of energy from the outside world, the small meridians developed much faster than before.
Soon after, he fell into a deep state of cultivation.
Little did he know that an old man and a young man had been standing in front of him for a while.
"Grandpa, what an irritating boy, you actually took over my precious land!" A funny and angry girl's voice slowly sounded.
The girl was born with bright eyes and white teeth, eyebrows as thin as willows, and delicate and beautiful facial features.
Although his face is childish, he has a maturity and elegance beyond his years, as well as a hint of pride that comes from having been in a high position for a long time.
"How can you blame me for coming late?" The old man beside him was over eighty years old and had short white hair.
His back was slightly bent and his hands were clasped behind his back.
A pair of old, seemingly turbid eyes looked at Xia Qingchen with deep meaning, and said slowly: "The mastery of his mind is rare!"
The old man knew the many martial arts families in Yun Gucheng very well.
When the girl heard this, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on her lips: "Can you be better than the "Fragment of Mending the Sky" that has been passed down from generation to generation in the temple?"
However, the old man seemed to have discovered something: "Shh! Don't talk!"
He stared intently, and the more he looked, the more mysterious Xia Qingchen's mind was. When he saw the end, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "What kind of mind is this? The essence he absorbed was actually outside the nine major meridians.
, but it doesn’t escape the body!”
As we all know, after the essence enters the body, it must be precipitated into internal energy within the nine major meridians.
The essence that has not entered the nine major meridians will often escape from the body along with breathing or from the pores.
Xia Qingchen's extremely unorthodox practice really surprised the old man.
However, his silent words of surprise finally woke up Xia Qingchen.
He slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the two of them, and silently stood up to leave.
He has opened up a small vein as he wished, accomplished his goal, and does not need to stay any longer.
"Young man, which family are you from?" the old man asked. The young man in front of him had a strange face, and he should not be from the temple.
Xia Qingchen said calmly: "Outsiders."
He responded lightly and turned towards the counter.
"Why are you so rude? My grandfather asked you a question. Can you answer it properly?" The girl frowned slightly and asked.
Xia Qingchen didn't even look back and said, "If he asks, do I have to answer?"
We met by chance, why did he answer people's questions?
The problem in particular is to trace his origins.
"Zhilan!" The old man waved his hand and said, "It's our fault to disturb his cultivation. We can't be aggressive anymore."
The girl named Zhilan twitched her delicate eyebrows: "Since grandpa said I push people, then I'll do it once."
She quickly caught up with her, clasping her right index finger tightly with her thumb, condensing her internal energy into her thumb, and pointed at Xia Qingchen's shoulder blade: "Grandpa said you have a great mind, so let's compare!"
In my memory, my grandfather rarely praised other people's thoughts.
Because the "Mending the Sky Fragment" passed down by the temple is originally a yellow-level middle-grade top mental method, and it is among the top in Yun Gucheng.
But just now, her grandfather once praised this man for his extraordinary thinking, which really made her hard to believe.
Therefore, I wanted to take the opportunity to compare.
Suddenly hearing the cold wind blowing behind him, Xia Qingchen turned his head without hesitation, and activated all four major veins and forty minor pulses.
The internal energy in the body condenses on the index finger and middle finger, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, passing by instantly.
His inner energy at this moment is equivalent to Xiao Chen's Wu Ming position.
The girl's cultivation level is Xiaochen position and Wuming.
In terms of the degree of internal energy, Xia Qingchen is slightly higher.
