Chapter 71 Retreat
Liu Qinghuan calculated that his current elixir production rate had reached an astonishing amount, and except for a small amount of what he had sold, he had mostly saved it.
After buying two hundred materials this time, he was ready to retreat. The pills in hand were enough for him to practice for a while.
Liu Qinghuan returned to Zizhu Courtyard and saw a Dudu beast waiting outside the protective formation.
When the Dudu beast saw him, it barked twice in dissatisfaction, raised a front paw and stretched out towards him.
Liu Qinghuan hurriedly flew over and untied the storage bag hanging on its claws, took out a spiritual feeding pill and threw it into its mouth, and then Dudu flew away with satisfaction.
It must be Yunzheng's reply. Liu Qinghuan entered the courtyard and couldn't wait to open the storage bag, only to see a set of formation disks and a jade slip inside.
He first picked up the jade slip and looked at it, but his face was alternately worried and happy.
After Yun Zheng joined Ziwei Sword Pavilion, he directly became an inner disciple and became a disciple of Yuanying True Lord Chu Zhiqiu. His cultivation went smoothly, but something big happened to the Yuncheng family. The only Nascent Soul Ancestor has died, and the family head is nearing his end of life. For a while, the internal disciples are busy competing for the position of the next family head, and the outside is facing various provocations from other forces. It can be described as internal and external troubles.
Seeing that a middle-level immortal cultivating family was about to fall, Yun Zheng had no choice but to go to Chu Zhiqiu and ask the people of Ziwei Sword Pavilion to come forward and save the family's temporary safety on the condition that the Yuncheng family attached themselves to Ziwei Sword Pavilion.
Liu Qinghuan sighed. Although these children of big families were born with abundant resources and were also burdened with heavy family responsibilities, sometimes they were not as comfortable as a helpless person like him.
Yunzheng wrote at the end of the letter: "Your family is the one selling magic circles! Your whole family is selling magic circles!"
Liu Qinghuan chuckled and took out the set of arrays that were said to be called the Four Symbols and Bagua array. Yun Zheng left the detailed manipulation techniques of this array on the jade slips, and said that this array was a combination of killing array and defensive array. Medium-sized array.
Liu Qinghuan memorized the manipulation techniques and deployed the magic array inside the cave.
With a thought in his mind, he looked outside the courtyard. The hair beside his ears was blown by a strong wind, and a white figure appeared in front of him.
The little horned beast has now changed a lot. Not only has its size shrunk to the size of a cat, but the most special thing is that it has two very short wings on its back.
"It has become so small again. Did it go somewhere to drill a hole again?" Liu Qinghuan squatted down and took off a bamboo leaf from its head.
I don’t know what kind of spiritual beast that big rooster is, but a drop of blood can actually bring about such a big change in the hoofed horned beast! Not only can its body shape be changed freely, but its wings can also grow!
After falling asleep on the first day of the new year, Liu Qinghuan was shocked when she saw it. At that time, its wings were shorter than now, and it had just sprouted a head.
He had concluded a spirit beast contract with the little hoofed horned beast not long ago. Because he had grown up with him, Chu Yi trusted him very much, so with the cooperation of both parties, the spirit beast contract was successfully completed. Now he can clearly feel the emotions of the first year of junior high school.
Liu Qinghuan nodded its forehead and said: "Don't play crazy all day long, spend half of your time practicing hard every day!" Spiritual beasts also need to practice, and with practice, they can improve their level.
Chu Yi rubbed his hand like a baby, Liu Qinghuan tried his best to keep a straight face and preached to it, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
The little guy now seems to have opened up his spiritual intelligence and can understand human speech very well. It's just that it has a lively and active temperament, so it is a bit lazy to calm down and practice.
After training the little hoofed horned beast back to the house, he walked into the room where Nishengzhu was.
After several months of growth, Nishengzhu now still looks like a small bamboo shoot. Looking at the growth rate, it will probably take a long time to grow to one foot.
Anything you do once in a while still feels fresh, but as time goes by, the difficulty increases straight away. Just like the process of cultivating bamboo, you have to use spiritual power to cultivate it every day using the secret method in "Bamboo Heart Planting Sword Art" without interruption. Sometimes things are simple, but the difficulty lies in whether you can keep doing them.
This also makes the monks in Zhulin Mountain dare not go far away when cultivating bamboo, and can only be trapped in the cave. But this was no problem for Liu Qinghuan. He had planned to retreat in the next few days.
Time flies, and the years of cultivation are sometimes turbulent, and sometimes as calm as still water. The monks were in seclusion, and even time seemed to have stopped, and they only focused on practicing every day.
The autumn sycamores on the Immortal Peak are all over the mountain. The leaves turn yellow and green, and then green and yellow. The flying fallen leaves cover the paths hidden in the mountains. However, Zhulin Mountain is evergreen all year round, with poles of green bamboo standing proud of the frost and snow, and the spring is deep in the sea.
A fleeting moment passed by, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Five years is not a long time, nor is it a short time. Liu Qinghuan can rely on the power of the elixir to reach the ninth level of Qi training in one go; it can also allow the Nishengzhu to grow to nearly three feet with great difficulty.
Liu Qinghuan also didn't expect that he would be in seclusion for five years. During the past five years, in the first year, he occasionally went out to the market to buy and sell elixirs and materials.
After that, Wang Xu saw that he was devoted to cultivation, so he proposed to send him materials and pills every six months. He thought about it and thought it was good, so he agreed. He doesn't sell more, he only sells a hundred spiritual pills at a time in exchange for a hundred materials. And with his rarely failed elixir success rate and extremely high elixir opening rate, the remaining Peiyuan Dan can fully support his daily cultivation needs.
He went directly to the Internal Affairs Hall to submit an application for retreat - during the retreat, he could be exempted from the annual sect tasks. Then I thought that with the slow growth rate of the bamboo, it would probably not grow three feet in three years, so I bought another batch of bamboo cultivation soil.
Since then, he had nothing else to do, so he put up the sign of seclusion and never stepped out of Zizhu Courtyard again.
With enough Spirit Refining Pills, his cultivation level improved steadily, and half a year ago, he reached the ninth level of Qi Training in one fell swoop!
Normally it would take more than ten years to practice Qi from the sixth level to the ninth level, but Liu Qinghuan only took five years!
Seeing that the bamboo was about to grow to three feet, he was ready to end the retreat. However, if he goes out like this, others will inevitably become suspicious when they see that his cultivation has advanced rapidly to the ninth level of Qi training.
It seems that it is time to refine the spiritual power.
Liu Qinghuan sat in the quiet room and finished thinking. She reached into her arms and took out the storage bag. With a slight movement of her hand, the spiritual materials that had been collected in the field of the hut appeared in the house like a small mountain.
A translucent root soon stretched out from his Dantian, swaying from side to side. Liu Qinghuan knew that the wooden stick was testing whether the surrounding environment was safe.
He was quite speechless. He couldn't grasp its roots at all and kept cutting them off. It was still as timid as a mouse. He didn't know what he was afraid of!
Soon, all the dense roots appeared, piercing into the hill-like spiritual material, sucking in the wood spiritual energy and the invisible chaotic energy.
The hill quickly deflated, and Liu Qinghuan's consciousness entered his Dantian. He stood on the mountain of spiritual roots and watched the sea of qi churning and the mountain of spiritual roots trembling violently.
Perhaps because of the large amount absorbed this time, the mountain of spiritual roots shook for more than twenty breaths before it completely stopped, and at the same time it released the spiritual power sucked away by it.
Liu Qinghuan had no time for the moment to care about the thick spiritual power that had been refined again and was almost in a liquefied state. All his attention was on the yellow land and blue sea water under the Spiritual Root Mountain.
As soon as his consciousness moved, the spiritual essence appeared, and Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but be ecstatic!
This time, the spiritual roots of the earth and water systems were reduced by 30%. Correspondingly, the wood spiritual roots also grew a lot.
This means that his efficiency in practicing in the future will be many times higher than it is now!
