Chapter 198 The Theory of Pure Blood
As the sun rises high, the people sitting around the lake meditating wake up one by one.
They all had rosy complexions and full of vitality, and the aura on their bodies seemed to be purer than before. Although it was not much, it was still very remarkable. So after the spiritual power circulated in the veins, they all showed a look of satisfaction on their faces.
But this kind of joy did not last too long, and was broken by the sound of "rustling" breaking through the air from a distance.
After calming down, Su Ziyi changed his hiding place early and was currently sleeping in a hollow cave near the lake. His whole body was covered with black mud. If no one searched specifically, they would just think that he was one with the surrounding environment. Therefore, when the new visitor came, he raised his eyelids and looked over without any worry.
The sun was a bit strong, shining light spots one after another on his body through the hollow holes in the rock, drying the mud on his body bit by bit. But Su Ziyi's attention was not on this matter at all now. All his eyes were attracted by the group of people who had just arrived, because he saw a somewhat familiar person inside - the third elder of the Xiang family.
The first time she caught a glimpse of him, Su Ziyi couldn't help but twist her body. She knelt down at the opening of the hole and looked over there.
The third elder of the Xiang family did not come alone, and not only the Xiang family came. Su Ziyi took a look and saw people from six different aristocratic families. Moreover, among the six aristocratic families, the leader was not the Xiang family, but a man from a well-known family wearing a brown robe embroidered with gold thread. People from this aristocratic family They are somewhat different from other aristocratic families in temperament. They are all so sharp that it makes people feel like their eyes are being stabbed just by looking at them.
With just one glance, Su Ziyi guessed that the other party should be from a family of practitioners who majored in certain weapons, and their level of training was already quite high, which caused the energy of elite soldiers to escape from his body.
This time, Su Ziyi's eyes completely changed.
There are not many people coming to the Xiang family. Compared to the six or seven people from the aristocratic family just now, there are only three people from the Xiang family. But among these three people, the third elder is not the leader. The leader is an old man with white beard who looks like the third elder. He is thin and lean, with a straight back. From a distance, There is quite a bit of the spirit of immortality in it.
But in fact, the atmosphere in their circle at this time was meaningless at all.
"Uncle Shi, it turns out you are the one coming to the Zhou family this time." The two groups of people faced each other in silence. The first one to break the silence was the young man who Su Ziyi had identified as extraordinary. He had a smile on his face and was not afraid of the other party at all. With a cold face, he pushed aside the people in front of him and walked up to the leader, an old man wearing a brown robe with gold thread. He bowed obediently and said, "If I had known earlier that it was you who was coming, I would have gone to look for him a long time ago." You're welcome. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Cao Minlan?" The man called Uncle Shi by the young man is indeed the leader of this group. His appearance is no longer young, and he even looks two-figured. There is still a trace of turbidity in the eyeball, which is obviously old. When he heard Cao Minlan calling him, he squinted before recognizing him. But after he recognized him, his expression suddenly changed. He shrunk his wrinkled face and looked at Cao Minlan gloomily, coldly. He snorted coldly.
Because of his cold snort, the elite soldier's aura in him suddenly became stronger, and with a sharp stinging sensation, he pushed Cao Minlan back a few steps.
At this moment, the expressions of Cao Minlan and the person on his body changed.
Cao Minlan secretly bit her back molars, feeling extremely hateful. You know, as a direct descendant of the Cao family, when had he ever suffered such neglect? When he was walking outside, who dared not acknowledge his affection, and who dared to undermine the Cao family's reputation behind his back? So in his opinion, this person named Zhou is really shameless!
But even if he thought so in his heart, there was no trace of resentment on his face. Because he knew that although the old man surnamed Zhou didn't have long to live, his fighting power was something that even half of their people here couldn't defeat, let alone there were other people over there... so he went through all kinds of things in his heart. He yelled back and forth, but in the end, a hurt and aggrieved expression formed on his face.
It's a pity that his grievance didn't move the other party at all.
Just when he said "Uncle Shi", the other party looked impatient, shook his shoulders, and without using his hands to pinch any seals, two spiritual blades passed directly against Cao Minlan's cheeks, which shocked Cao Minlan's eyes. They all stared. The next second, he swallowed subconsciously, and a piece of hair on his temples broke into two sections and floated leisurely to the ground.
Suddenly, Cao Minlan's beautiful face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and all the viciousness in her heart could no longer be concealed, and she shot towards the old man named Zhou like a poisoned knife.
The group of people behind him were also frightened by these two attacks and took out their treasure weapons, waiting for Cao Minlan's order to fight at any time.
But Cao Minlan only responded to them with endless silence.
He looked at the old man surnamed Zhou with hatred, his fists clenched tightly, and veins burst out on his temples due to the strong bite of his teeth. At this time, Cao Minlan fell into a crazy fantasy. On the one hand, he had a deep hatred for the other party, and on the other hand, they had unequal combat power. The two sides were crazy and anxious, causing Cao Minlan to The handsome features are ferocious.
As for the culprit that caused all this, the old man surnamed Zhou had an indifferent look. He glanced at the people behind Cao Minlan, and with just the sharpness in his eyes, he made these people lower their heads and dare not look at each other, and some even kept looking back. Retreat.
Simply vulnerable.
Among this group of people, the only one who could remain calm in the sight of the old man named Zhou was another old man. Unlike the skinny old man surnamed Zhou, this one has a somewhat rich figure, and his face and eyes are wearing a mask that he has worn for a long time, making it easy for people with a lighter mind to mistakenly think that the emotions he shows are true. of.
This time, after the old man surnamed Zhou used his elite soldier spirit to push back the people on their side, he immediately stepped forward with a kind expression on his face, trying to ease the strange atmosphere: "Father Qian ——"
Hearing his call, Zhou Qianyi, the eldest elder of the Zhou family, withdrew his gaze and set his eyes on him. Then his eyebrows wrinkled uncontrollably and his voice was a little deep: "Qian Source." "It's me. We haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years since the last time we said goodbye in Chucheng. I think back then..." He rambled on, remembering Zhou Qianyi's unstoppable style, but in fact In his words, he was quite proud. After all, twenty years ago, he was still in the late stage of foundation building and could only look at Zhou Qianyi's figure from a distance.
But now, Zhou Qian's deadline is approaching, and there is no hope of being promoted to Jindan, but he still has a lot of time, how can he not feel a little complacent in his heart?
However, his complacency seemed ridiculous to Zhou Qianyi.
Perhaps it should be said that these people in front of him seemed ridiculous to him, including himself.
Once upon a time, he was just like these people. He always felt that he was superior to others, relying on his talent and being arrogant. He only felt that if only one person in the world could reach the great road, it would be him. But as he was stuck at the bottleneck for longer and longer, and the chances of being promoted to the golden elixir became increasingly slim, he began to truly recognize himself and understood that in his huge world, he was just insignificant. Just a drop in the ocean.
Therefore, when he heard Qian Yuan's words, he felt dumbfounded.
He didn't interrupt him, but listened patiently to what he said, but his eyes had already passed through the others and landed on the big black lake. Regarding this lake, the Zhou family, like other aristocratic families, has made a lot of efforts, trying to deeply dissect the secrets in it, but in the end they achieved very little results, and what they got was too evil, even if it was helpful for the path of cultivation. Help, but not all aristocratic families are willing to try.
At least his Zhou family and the families behind him are unwilling.
Therefore, when Qian Yuan finally finished chatting, Zhou Qianyi asked a question that caught Qian Yuan off guard: "You are really promoted to the Great Perfection by relying on the pure blood refined by this strange lake. Don't you feel something is wrong?" He looked at Qian Yuan suspiciously, and all Qian Yuan's words were blocked in his throat, and his face turned red from holding back.
With a sneer, Zhou Qian repeatedly turned his attention to Cao Minlan, who had calmed down.
However, Cao Minlan read pity from his eyes, and her whole aura suddenly became a little unstable again.
On the other end, Qian Yuan, whose brain was disconnected because of Zhou Qianyi's question, turned red and retorted stammeringly: "Haha... Fellow Daoist Qian... what are you talking about?... What pure blood... pure Blood is indeed useful, but my promotion...to Foundation Establishment Perfection is due to...my own efforts." Staring at Zhou Qianyi's eyes as if he were looking at a joke, he couldn't help but twinkle in his eyes, and his voice and confidence became lower and lower. .
"Haha——" There was a weird laughter in his throat, and Zhou Qian suddenly raised his palm and slapped Qian Yuan. The wind and pressure brought by it instantly awakened Qian Yuan's somewhat panicked mind. Brain, he raised his hands in panic to respond.
But it was still a little late in the end. Although Zhou Qianyi's palm did not hit him completely, it still hit him five points, and directly slapped him back several feet before he stabilized his body.
Before the palm was finished, there was a "clang" sound, and a sound of metal and stone suddenly erupted from Zhou Qianyi's body. A black gun with red tassels and a cold light appeared in Zhou Qianyi's hand instantly. As he swept away with his gun, the sharp spiritual wind blade knocked everyone in front of him to the ground! The one with lower strength even spit out a mouthful of blood!
With just one move, everyone present realized how terrifying Zhou Qianyi's strength was!
They no longer have any luck in their hearts. They only know that even if Zhou Qian's deadline is approaching, it will be ten years later. At least Zhou Qianyi is invincible in front of them now!
He was like a god of war, clothed in golden sunshine and holding a cold-sharp gun. He looked down at them in front of them as if patrolling his own territory. His voice was neither sad nor happy, making them tremble all over when they looked at it: "How many years have passed?" Already?" He held the gun in one hand and stroked the gun body with the other: "It has been 1,300 years since the discovery of the Shuizhu Realm, and your Shaolao hunting has been going on for more than a thousand years, but -" He suddenly As soon as he swung the gun, the tip of the gun was aimed at the nose of Cao Minlan, who had just raised his body. Cao Minlan was so frightened that his hands lost strength and he fell back again.
"How many of you aristocratic families who participated in Shaolao Hunting can be promoted to Jindan?" He raised a sarcastic smile: "Less than one in a thousand? Less than one in ten thousand? No! I'm afraid they are rare! Haha! Haha!" His smile was so wild that it hit these people's faces like slaps.
"Pure blood, pure blood, like a monster, sucking the blood essence extracted from the same kind of people, does it really make you stronger?" He suddenly stopped laughing and looked at everyone with a look of contempt. , forcing everyone to want to bury themselves in the ground: "If you really become stronger, then why do you behave so badly in front of me? Huh? Qian Yuan, the head of our Qian family." In the end, he The playfulness in his voice could not be concealed, and Qian Yuan buried his head even lower in embarrassment.
Don’t they know what Zhou Qianyi said? No, they know, but what can they do!
"But at least it's better than being stuck in the early or middle stages of foundation building all your life!" The first person to shout out what was in his heart was Cao Minlan. At this time, he seemed to have put away all his scheming, like a helpless and fierce person. He yelled at Zhou Qianyi like a child: "The great power is weak. How many years has no one broken through the golden elixir to Yuanying? How many people have been stuck in building foundations all their lives, unable to progress to one level in their lives?"
"We have accepted our fate! We no longer have any plans for the Golden Core or above, but this does not mean that we will die like this. At least we are stronger than others to ensure that our family can survive!" He said this Zhou Qianyi was a little stunned by the confession of his character, and Zhou Qianyi was unable to refute it for a while.
Therefore, taking this opportunity, Cao Minlan staggered up from the ground. He was now in a state of embarrassment. He was no longer as handsome as the young master from the aristocratic family before. Suddenly, he smiled at Zhou Qian. He looked sinister, but his voice was very sad: "Uncle Zhou Shi, you also know that right? After all, that’s how your fiancée disappeared in the first place——”
“Wow——”
The lingering sound was still there, but several gun shadows popped up and attacked directly towards Cao Minlan, leading a killing array straight to the door, but Cao Minlan He just smiled and didn't resist. And just when these gun shadows were about to rush into the people, they suddenly turned a corner and rushed directly into the group of cultivators who had just stood up on Cao Minlan. In an instant, the smell of blood and the screams were intertwined. .
But in the midst of it, Cao Minlan smiled even happier.
Chapter 199 The ban is closed
Under the golden elixir, Zhou Qian was invincible.
Before today, before the fierce wind of gunfire swept over them, most people here had always been dismissive of this sentence, thinking that those people were exaggerating. But now, do they still have any objections in their hearts? At this time, they only took out the elixirs to stabilize their injuries, while shrinking their heads and wishing they could hide themselves in the ground.
All the arrogance before was completely gone.
Among this group of people, Qian Yuan was undoubtedly the one who was hit the hardest. Because he was standing too far forward, Zhou Qianyi's gun attack was the first to hit him, so he was seriously injured. Several ribs were directly broken, and his internal organs were bleeding faintly. The foundation-building Dzogchen cultivation level seemed like paper in front of that attack.
But, how is this possible? Zhou Qianyi, like himself, is a foundation-building perfectionist.
The churning energy and blood made Qian Yuan's mind a mess, and all kinds of memory fragments were intertwined, making his expression even more chaotic. After a while, he opened his mouth and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Ancient inheritance ..." After he finished speaking, a wry smile appeared on his face, looking self-deprecating, and then he slumped on the ground as if resigned to his fate and stopped doing other fearless things.
As a result, among this group of people who had lost their fighting spirit, Cao Minlan, who was still smiling brightly, seemed a bit out of the ordinary.
Zhou Qianyi didn't understand why Cao Minlan was smiling like this, but he didn't care. He waved the gun in his hand and surrounded the entire black lake with the people behind him without saying a word. And when his people scattered to the lake, Cao Minlan finally stopped laughing, but stood two or three feet away from Zhou Qianyi's back and watched their actions silently.
It was obviously not accidental that they came here.
Zhou Qianyi and the others knew this, and Cao Minlan also knew it. They also knew that this was a long-established rule of their family, and no one could object to it.
Therefore, no one will stop the actions of the people brought by Zhou Qianyi.
Cao Minlan and others let Zhou Qianyi and the others find their own positions, summoned their own magic weapons, shouted loudly, and then, under the leadership of Zhou Qianyi, poured spiritual power into the magic weapons, causing the magic weapons in their hands to instantly fly into the air. , they stopped before anyone could see their flight path clearly, and countless white lights were involved in each other, forming a mysterious pattern.
Su Ziyi, who was climbing on the rock hole, could tell at a glance that this was a magic circle! Moreover, this formation diagram was vaguely familiar, but Su Ziyi couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
After the formation diagram made of light was stabilized, it quickly fell towards the lake. It has a great demand for spiritual power, and soon several practitioners with low strength were sweating on their heads. Fortunately, this process did not take long, and the magic circle immediately broke away as soon as it fell into the water. The magic weapon formed a system of its own and fell directly towards the bottom of the lake. Wherever it passed, there was a "sizzling" sound of thunder as if it was electrified.
It was also at this moment that Su Ziyi finally remembered that he had seen this formation diagram there!
Before entering the realm of water, he once went deep into the inner layer of the Meteor Immortal Forest in search of a breakthrough, and found a lake there. The lake didn't look out of the ordinary. But on the night he camped there, a strange stone seat suddenly rose from the lake, attracting countless monsters to go crazy for it, and triggered a wave of beasts that drove away all the cultivators in the inner layer of the Fallen Immortal Forest.
The formation diagram he saw in front of him was very similar to the formation diagram he saw on the stone pedestal.
The difference is that the one in front of you is just a incomplete formation diagram engraved on a corner of the stone base, and is incomplete.
But just such an incomplete formation diagram exploded with astonishing power as soon as it fell into the black lake. After it fell into the water, the originally turbid lake surface instantly became clear little by little. Although it was not very deep, it was much better than before. In addition, a layer of black mist floated on the lake, with a "wuwu" cry, disappearing under the influence of the formation.
From the time the formation diagram fell into the water to completely disappearing, it only took a cup of tea.
But in just this cup of tea, the black lake has undergone great changes. The gloom that had been hanging over the lake completely dissipated, and the sunlight penetrated to the bottom of the lake. The entire lakeside seemed to be rejuvenated. However, such a scene was a bit dazzling in the eyes of Cao Minlan and others looking behind, and many people pursed their lips. , with a look of regret in his eyes.
After doing all this, Zhou Qianyi didn't say anything and left quickly with his people, leaving only the group of people who were here originally.
After the figures of Zhou Qianyi and others disappeared from the sky, someone dared to approach Cao Minlan and flattered him in a low voice: "Zhou Qianyi is too ignorant. It is clear that the water realm can last for more than ten years, so why not lead people now? It's really his fault that he came to cause trouble..."
Before he could finish his words, Cao Minlan, whose eyes were red from holding back his words, waved his sleeve and slapped the person out: "Get out!"
"Sir."
After flying out, the two old men who had been guarding Cao Minlan immediately came over. Without saying anything else, they just bent over and bowed, hoping that Cao Minlan would calm down as soon as possible.
And Cao Minlan did not stay angry for too long. His violently heaving chest soon calmed down. He sniffed twice and said to the two old men next to him: "Two elders, you need to inform my father about what's going on here as soon as possible."
"Yes."
"Since the altar here has been completely destroyed, there is no need to come again next time." When saying this, Cao Minlan's mood fluctuated a bit, and she clenched her fists tightly behind her back.
"This -" Regarding this decision, the two Cao family elders did not dare to directly agree. After exchanging glances with each other, they said hesitantly: "But Young Master, the essence of the five elements..."
"What use is it to us?" Upon hearing their words, Cao Minlan turned to look at them with sarcasm on her face: "We are neither the Zhou family nor the government. The essence of the Five Elements is at most useful to us. It can only play a little supporting role in practice. And if you get it, you have to face those two groups of people. What's the good thing?" "..." Regarding Cao Minlan's words, the two elders really didn't know what to do.
Indeed, in the eyes of young masters from aristocratic families like Cao Minlan, the essence of the Five Elements does more harm than good, but for casual cultivators like them who have taken refuge in aristocratic families, it is a treasure. Even if they can't defend it, they can still use it to trade with the government and aristocratic families like the Zhou family, and gain considerable benefits, so why not do it?
This can only be said that direct descendants of aristocratic families are different after all.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts. This man is truly gifted with fortune-telling.
The blood sacrifice had already been completed, and the altar was completely destroyed by Zhou Qianyi and others, so Cao Minlan and others left quickly after adjusting their injuries a little. Especially Cao Minlan, he left very quickly, because staying here for one more minute would make him feel more angry, so he left quite neatly.
It was only after they left that Su Ziyi dared to get out of the cave.
After this incident, the entire wasteland had changed. Although nothing could be seen from the outside, Su Ziyi could smell that the original fishy smell in the air was completely gone. He no longer had to worry about the black odor. A foreign object appeared in his veins. He walked curiously toward the lake while sorting out the information he had just heard in his mind.
He had heard the voice of Qian Yuan. If he guessed correctly, he should be the head of the Qian family who crippled Heimei. It's just that I didn't expect that the Foundation-Building Dzogchen monk, who was so arrogant in front of Heimei, would be so vulnerable in front of Zhou Qianyi, which was really embarrassing.
In addition, this lake is indeed not a good thing. It is like an altar.
However, what Su Ziyi found even more interesting was that it turned out that the aristocratic family was divided into factions. He had always thought that those aristocratic families were just like the ones he had seen, cruel and willing to do anything for profit, but he never thought that there would be existences like the Zhou family and the Xiang family represented by Zhou Qianyi. Although they don't know what their real purpose is in destroying this altar, what they did did protect the world.
Therefore, it seems that in the future, people from aristocratic families can no longer be so one-sided.
Of course, of all things, the one that concerned Su Ziyi the most was the so-called "pure blood". Su Ziyi has never seen relevant information about this pure blood in any classics, but judging from Cao Minlan and the others, this thing can help people improve their strength; but at the same time, it can also be seen from Zhou Qianyi's attitude that this thing The promotion method is too evil and blocks the path for foundation-building practitioners to advance to the Golden Core stage to a large extent, so it is not welcomed by everyone.
However, is there something wrong with the pure blood, or is the refining method wrong?
Although he knew that it was impossible for him to behave like Cao Minlan, Su Ziyi couldn't help but think about it. For some reason, he instinctively felt that pure blood itself was not bad, it was just that Cao Minlan and the others did something wrong, so something went wrong. But he couldn't explain exactly why he had such an idea. He could only see if he could find other information in the future.
Standing by the lake, Su Ziyi did not dare to go into the water due to the strange behavior of the lake before. He simply lowered his head and looked into the water.
Although Zhou Qianyi and others have sealed it before, the coldness in the water is much less, but the lifelessness will still last for a long time, but I don't know if life can appear before the water realm is completely destroyed. Thinking of this, Su Ziyi couldn't help but sigh. It was in vain that he thought about relying on the water realm to find more training resources in the future, but he didn't expect that this restriction was already on the verge of destruction.
But when he thought of the bloody humanoids who glanced at him before disappearing, Su Ziyi felt that it would be good for the water realm to disappear.
After all, the pressure caused by that thing on him was too strong.
When the sun was heading west from high in the sky, Su Ziyi also left the lake. Because of the black lake here, the Yin Qi accumulated over the years is relatively heavy, so the probability of ghost-faced leaf vines appearing is very high. Therefore, when thinking that the water realm will be closed tomorrow, Su Ziyi does not dare to waste any time. Search this area carefully.
Fortunately, his guess was not wrong.
In several rocky nooks and crannies near the lake, Su Ziyi found ghost-faced leaf vines. However, they were not very big. The largest ones were only thirty years old. They were as thin as a little finger and were still quite some time away from maturity. . Su Ziyi was not surprised by this. After all, judging from Cao Minlan's situation, they must come here regularly, so it is impossible to let go of the mature ghost-faced leaf vines and seedlings here, which are already good.
However, the seedling Su Ziyi didn't take much because he wasn't sure he could feed it.
Now that he had found the seedlings, Su Ziyi felt that it was not impossible to find the mature ghost-faced leaf vines, so he followed the place with the heaviest yin on the wasteland to explore, and to his surprise, he found a few vines. It’s just that I found it again, and it’s already late now. It’s already noon on the second day, and it’s not long before the Shui Ze Realm is closed.
But before that, he still needed to rush to Heimei and take them away together.
So after putting away those ghost-faced leaf vines, Su Ziyi rushed towards Heimei without stopping. But in the end he had gone too far, and by the time he returned to the reeds by the lake, it was already dark. And I don’t know if it’s because the Water Land is about to be closed. There are large swaths of clouds and mist floating in the sky throughout the Water Land, and the moon and stars can’t be seen at all.
Panting heavily, he pushed the stone blocking the entrance of the cave away, and the eyes that met Su Ziyi's were Heimei's eyes.
At this time, his situation was much better than when Su Ziyi left that day. When he saw Su Ziyi coming back, he even had time to joke with Su Ziyi: "I thought you left me and left." Because of the spirit of Binghuo. Su Ziyi didn't want to talk to him. He only glanced at him. When he found that his lips were terribly chapped, he gave him some water and food and ignored him. He sat cross-legged next to him and waited for the water. The moment of closure comes.
"Thank you." As a foundation-building monk, Heimei didn't have much thirst for food, but water was different, so when Su Ziyi left, he was really thirsty. Even though Su Ziyi left him a water bag, because he was seriously injured and had no limbs, his control over spiritual power was already quite weak, so most of the water was spilled and not much of it reached his mouth.
This kind of thirst made him feel anxious in a rare way, especially the darkness around him, which even made him feel uneasy, and he began to worry about whether Su Ziyi would really never come back.
Fortunately, Su Ziyi is back.
When Heimei breathed a sigh of relief because of Su Ziyi's return, it didn't take long for the water realm to begin to close. Su Ziyi could feel a huge repulsive force pushing him out, so the moment he noticed it, he immediately grabbed Hei Mei's body, and the next second he and Hei Mei appeared in a thick fog. among.
Chapter 200 Promotions one after another
Adhering to the principle of doing more and making more mistakes, doing less and making fewer mistakes, Su Ziyi dropped the black eyebrow as soon as he was sure that he was in the middle level.
Of course, in order to prevent the other person from being killed by the monster here before his friends arrived, Su Ziyi threw the person into the tree very humanely, and then no matter how Black Eyebrow called him, he walked away without looking back and disappeared into the miasma. among.
"——He walked really neatly." Heimei, who was lying on the trunk of the tree, whispered face down.
After saying this, he stopped making any sound, as if he was asleep. But in less than a cup of tea, two or three figures flew in from outside Yujian. After seeing Heimei's current situation clearly, their expressions changed drastically.
Su Ziyi didn't know and didn't care about what happened at Heimei's place.
After leaving the person behind, he left the middle layer at an extremely fast speed. He did not go home directly, but first found a place at the junction of the middle layer and the outer layer to rest for half a night, because he guessed that the cultivators who came out of the water realm would definitely leave during this time. So in order not to attract the attention of the town guards, it would be better for him to go back tomorrow morning.
And just as he thought, when he just walked out of the middle layer, several powerful cultivators' auras came from behind, and they headed towards Qixia Town at an extremely fast speed.
Because of the many dangers in the Shuizhen territory, Su Ziyi did not dare to relax for a moment. As a result, as soon as he returned to the Meteor Fairy Forest, his tense nerves relaxed a lot. After relaxing, he even started to feel drowsy. When his mind became clear, the sunlight had penetrated through the jungle leaves and shone on his body of mud.
Today, Qixia Town has good weather.
Before dawn, Bian Qing woke up with something on his mind. Although he meditated and practiced until he went to bed at night, he was not sleepy at all. After tossing and turning on the bed for a while with his eyes open, he got up with a sigh, opened the door and planned to go to the yard to practice, but instead Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out, he would meet Su Yulang's eyes as he also pushed the door open.
"Emma..."
"Why don't you sleep more?" Seeing Su Yulang, Bian Qing's face subconsciously revealed a slight expression of concern, but he knew the answer to this question even if the other party didn't answer. Because this child, like himself, is concerned about that person's safety. After all, it had been more than twenty days since he left.
"Can't sleep." Su Yulang's tone was a little bleak and lacked energy.
Seeing this, Bian Qing reached out and touched his head, and suddenly realized that the child had actually grown to his chest. It turns out that so much time has passed?
"Emma——" Just when Bian Qing was still in a daze, Su Yulang suddenly raised his head and called out cautiously: "Will father come back today?" "Maybe, it's possible?" Regarding this question, Bian Qing could only He pulled out a weak smile. Regarding this question, Su Yulang also knew that he couldn't get an answer, so after Bian Qing gave the ambiguous answer, he sighed like a little adult: "It would be great if I could go with my father." Yes, if only I could
. Just go together.
Bian Qing thought the same thing.
This discomfort stayed with him until the moment he opened the store door.
As usual, he went to the front to open the store after breakfast, but unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the store door, a smiling face met his eyes. Looking at those familiar eyes, Bian Qing's nose instantly sore, and he reached out and hugged the other person. The other person also hugged him back, using a little more force to pull him into his arms, and then whispered against his neck. He said: "I'm back."
The hot breath immediately completely burned away the anxiety in Bian Qing's heart. He slumped his shoulders with relief, and his whole body and mind instantly calmed down. And at this moment when he was feeling extremely relaxed, the spiritual energy around him suddenly surged and poured into his body.
Su Ziyi let go of Bian Qing and said in shock: "You are about to be promoted!" His eyes widened, and he did not expect that Bian Qing would find an opportunity for a breakthrough at this time.
The sudden situation also caught Bian Qing off guard, but fortunately Su Ziyi was by his side. Under Su Ziyi's guidance, he took a few deep breaths to relax, and then followed Su Ziyi's instructions and retreated to the store to meditate in preparation for a breakthrough. As soon as Su Ziyi saw him closing his eyes and meditating, he quickly closed the store door behind him to prevent people and things outside from disturbing Bian Qing's promotion.
You know, Bian Qing has been looking forward to this promotion for a long time!
The concentration of spiritual energy gathered around him was getting higher and higher, which made Su Ziyi, who was a little panicked, slowly calm down. Based on the spiritual energy, it was judged that Bian Qing's promotion this time was definitely a sure thing. However, after calming down, Su Ziyi also felt sorry for Bian Qing even more, because judging from Bian Qing's situation, he should have been able to break through a few days ago, but because of his blocked mood, he kept suppressing it until today
... Thinking that Bian Qing had completely relaxed when he saw her for the first time, Su Ziyi couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.
Because of Su Ziyi's teachings, Bian Qing's cultivation has been steady and steady, so this time he was promoted to the sixth level of Qi Refining without any problems at all. It was very smooth and took a very short time. In just one stick of incense, Bian Qing had already opened his eyes, and looked over with a pair of bright eyes: "I have been promoted to the sixth level of Qi Refining." He put his fingers on Bian Qing's wrist. After confirming that it was correct, Su
Ziyi Only then did he let go of the last trace of worry in his heart, and praised without hesitation: "I knew you could do it." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to pull the person up from the ground, while explaining to the person carefully and consolidating his cultivation. While holding people's hands, they walked towards the backyard.
But as soon as he reached the backyard, he bumped into Su Yulang who was about to go out with a whip.
Su Yulang, like Bian Qing, had long been obsessed with Su Ziyi. When he saw his father coming back, he was stunned at first, and then rushed forward like crazy with joy, causing Su Ziyi to stumble. Then, when Su Ziyi and Bian Qing were dumbfounded, the spiritual energy around their bodies fluctuated. There is a potential for a breakthrough!
This time, Su Ziyi was completely happy.
Today is such a good day, all the good things come together.
Because the spiritual energy gathered in Su Yulang's body was already very strong, he could not delay any longer, so no matter how reluctant Su Yulang was to give up, Su Ziyi still drove him back to the room to break through. And Su Yulang was not an ignorant child. As soon as he entered his room, he immediately put away the childish look on his face, calmed down his mind, and fully devoted himself to the breakthrough.
"Let's go back to the room first." Su Ziyi and Su Yulang always felt at ease, so as soon as Su Yulang entered the room, Su Ziyi continued to hold Bian Qing's hand and walked to his room. When Bian Qing noticed that he had not let go of the hand holding her hand, two clusters of blush flew onto his cheeks, which looked like bright red rouge, very beautiful.
It wasn't until he returned to the room that Su Ziyi let go of his hand. This made Bian Qing, who was so sweet just now, couldn't help but feel regretful. Such a pity happened to be caught by Su Ziyi who turned around. The two people's eyes faced each other, one was smiling and the other was blushing. Suddenly, a sweet and greasy feeling of ambiguity filled the two of them.
Su Ziyi has never been a procrastinator. His reason is always telling him what he thinks and what he should do now.
Therefore, he directly pulled Bian Qing into his arms and whispered softly: "I have a lot of things I want to share with you when I come back from this trip, but I didn't expect that you and Yulang gave me two big surprises as soon as I walked in." He He raised his hand and fiddled with Bian Qing's hair, and his words and actions made people feel warm: "So, you should consolidate your cultivation first. After you and Yulang are both well, our family will get together." Can you tell me what happened recently? Huh?" His "hmm" came from the back of his nose, with a soft and soft smell, and it sounded like coquettishness.
Bian Qing obviously couldn't resist such a move. He bit his lower lip gently and nodded, then hugged Su Ziyi, took a deep breath and was about to let go and go to bed to meditate. But the moment he let go, He leaned into Su Ziyi's ear and said, "Welcome home." After that, he let go, walked around Su Ziyi and went to sit cross-legged on the bed to meditate.
There seemed to be a tingling warmth left in his ears. After Bian Qing fell into meditation, Su Ziyi came back to his senses, pinched his earlobe with his fingers, and then put a smile on his face.
He looked back at Bian Qing with a solemn expression, feeling uncontrollably happy.
But he was happy, and he couldn't interfere with Bian Qing's practice, so he simply sat on the bed and leaned on the bed rail to look at Bian Qing's face. In fact, if there was a mirror in front of him at this time, he would be surprised to find that his expression was as gentle as if water was dripping from his eyes, and his affection for Bian Qing was ready to come out.
Even if he couldn't see it, Su Ziyi knew that Bian Qing's status in his heart was already much higher than before.
No matter what happened before, there will always be a place in his heart and mind dedicated to Bian Qing now. Perhaps at the beginning, he hesitated and resisted such feelings, but it is undeniable that in this strange continent, only the warmth Bian Qing gave him would make him subconsciously get closer, rely on, and think No matter what he encounters outside, the home supported by Bian Qing is always waiting for him.
As a result, he became more powerful and more determined about the path he wanted to take.
Su Ziyi didn't know when this relationship started to deteriorate. Maybe it was when Bian Qing was always there waiting for him every time he turned around; or maybe when Bian Qing no longer concealed his feelings and showed his feelings with full heart. When the eyes of love looked at him...but no matter when, he was not going to refuse, to escape.
He knew that
he, Su Ziyi, would never be able to escape the net that Bian Qing had woven for him in this life, and he was willing to drown in it.
Su Ziyi didn't know what would happen to them in the future, or whether the relationship between them would become as lasting as in the book, but at least at this moment, he hoped to have this person involved in his future life. They will know each other, fight hand in hand, and move toward their future together in this lonely and unfamiliar world.
That is what his heart wishes.
Returning to a familiar territory, the person in front of him was a familiar person, and the smell lingering on the tip of his nose was also a familiar smell. This made Su Ziyi, who had not been relaxing much for a while, completely put aside some baggage and relax, and soon fell into a deep state of love. In sleep. When he woke up again, the sunlight shining through the window had become a little dim. He was no longer leaning on the bed rail, but lying flat on the bed covered with a quilt.
Touching the soft quilt on his body, Su Ziyi, who had just woken up, couldn't help but laugh.
Bian Qing took off his outer robe and shoes and socks, so when he pulled his shoes and walked out, his two hands were still tying the robe belt. It was already dusk, and both Bian Qing and Su Yulang had finished consolidating their cultivation and were busy with dinner in the yard. Therefore, as soon as Su Ziyi opened the door, they immediately attracted their attention.
"Father! You're awake!" Su Yulang was picking beans from a small basin. As soon as he saw Su Zi running out of the door, he immediately threw away the beans and the basin, and put them on the beans again. Su Ziyi did not resist the child's approach. When Su Yulang came closer, he pinched the person's armpits with both hands and lifted the person in the air several times, making Su Yulang laugh.
"It's lighter again. It seems that I haven't eaten well recently." Putting the person down, Su Ziyi touched Su Yulang's head and said, smiling at Bian Qing, receiving the same gentle smile from Bian Qing. .
"No way." Su Yulang was extremely happy, holding Su Ziyi's hand and pulling him into the yard: "Emma said that I have been growing recently, so I have lost weight, but I have gained height. If you don't believe it, father, you Measure it." After saying that, he stood still in front of Su Ziyi and tensed his whole body, letting Su Ziyi make gestures. And when Su Ziyi made this gesture, he realized that it was really: "Oh, it's really true, it's almost half the height of a hand." Hearing this, Su Yulang was overjoyed and ran to the kitchen to get another bench, dragging Su Ziyi with him
. He bent down and pinched the beans together.
As for Bian Qing, the smile on his face never stopped after Su Ziyi came out.
While choosing vegetables, Su Ziyi briefly talked about what he had gained in the water realm this time, which made Su Yulang and Bian Qing's eyes burst into surprise, and their mouths were half-opened in disbelief. When they heard that Su Ziyi had been promoted to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and obtained the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, they all felt happy for Su Ziyi.
But the time was too short. Before Su Yulang could ask Bian Qing what he encountered in the water realm, the sun had already set, and the few of them had to cook to fill their stomachs. Moreover, although Su Ziyi roughly washed the mud all over his body before coming back, he didn't wash it very clean, so before having dinner, he had to take a clean bath first.
