Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

Sally's offer was tempting.

Eating the stone fruit can increase the intensity of consciousness. Although I don't know if it has any effects such as drug resistance, it is okay to just get it and exchange it for other materials.

But Gu Xing looked at Chen Erniu, who was injured lying on the ground, and the bookstore in the distance, and finally rejected Sally's proposal.

If you want to leave here and go to find the stone fruit, it is unknown whether you will encounter dangers similar to that worm on the way.

And if they meet, Gu Xing doesn't want to carry Chen Erniu and Sally and run wildly again.

Moreover, there are no more usable weirdos in the Book of Secrets. It is better to rest well and wait for the Broken Sword to come out before deciding whether to go.

After all, Weird is territorial.

Judging from Chen Erniu's previous narration, the pillar with the stone fruit on it was obviously classified as private property by the worm.

I don’t know if the worms are not eaten because they are waiting for the remaining fruit to mature, or because they are fishing.

Anyway, for a while, with the remaining power of the worms, there is no need to worry about the fruit being eaten by other weirdos.

If he was really unlucky enough to be eaten, then Gu Xing would admit it.

Anyway, if he ate one for nothing, he would not lose.

Continuing to wait, time gradually passed, and Gu Xing was also practicing.

But at this moment, the shadow of a candle suddenly appeared on his shoulder.

Sally, who was sitting on a raised piece of dirt nearby, screamed in shock when she saw this scene.

"Brother, you have a light on your body."

Gu Xing woke up suddenly, and then opened his eyes expressionlessly.

Then, he looked at the candlelight shadow on his shoulder.

This shadow is very unreal, but it can be seen that it is the shape of a candle, without too many bells and whistles.

As Gu Xing stared, the candlelight shadow slowly disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay," he said to the startled Sally.

"What is that? Brother, are you cursed?" Sally asked.

"No, I just almost advanced."

Sally nodded in understanding. Seeing that Gu Xing didn't want to say more, she lowered her head again and stared at her legs.

Gu Xing, on the other hand, was checking his body at this time.

He did almost break through to Ran Deng just now.

According to what Hu Xing learned in the Taoist monastery, there are three lamps in the human body. When one reaches a certain level of practice and lights these lamps, it will be considered as a breakthrough to the realm of burning lamps.

If it were normal, even if Gu Xing's realm was sufficient, if he wanted to break through to Ran Deng, he would have to be well prepared.

But the fruit he just ate not long ago greatly enhanced the intensity of his consciousness. This oversight almost caused him to break through to Ran Deng.

The Ran Deng realm is related to the soul, and the soul is the integration of consciousness, mind, and soul.

Gu Xing is not sure about the soul. After all, even if he has reached the inner realm, it is difficult to feel the existence of the soul.

But the increase in consciousness was something he could clearly see.

Therefore, as his awareness increased, the light on his shoulder almost appeared on its own.

This was naturally not what Gu Xing wanted to see.

Now, in his inner palace, the waters have undergone qualitative changes for the seventh time, and the Mysterious Domain has also reached the sixth time.

As long as he is given some more time, he might be able to break through to nine times.

With two inner palaces that have undergone nine qualitative transformations, he can break through to Ran Deng. Maybe once he breaks through, he will be able to deal with the existence of the struggle to cross the realm.

It was with this kind of longing that Gu Xing suppressed this advancement.

In the process of testing his body, Gu Xing found that his physical body had not changed much.

But because of the emergence of the candlelight, he could faintly feel his soul.

Just on his left shoulder, he could feel some emptiness, but he wasn't quite sure what it was.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of a sentence about the Ran Deng realm.

To light a candle and reflect oneself is to light a lamp.

So does the self in this sentence refer to your own soul?

Unfortunately, he was not in the Taoist Academy and had no one to explain to him, so he could only figure it out on his own.

There was no distinction between day and night in the secret realm, and Gu Xing didn't know how much time had passed.

It was only when Sally fell asleep next to Chen Erniu that Gu Xing heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears.

"Gu Xing, come to the bookstore."

"what happened?"

He said subconsciously, but naturally he didn't get an answer.

However, these words woke Chen Erniu up.

"Brother Gu, what's wrong?"

"Wake Sally up, we're going to the building over there."

Sally woke up drowsily. Before she even regained consciousness, she felt a big hand pick up the back of her neck and lift it up.

In an instant, she woke up and shouted hurriedly.

"Wait……"

But before she could finish her words, she was filled with words, and finally she could only shut her mouth angrily.

In order to save time, Gu Xing naturally carried Sally and Chen Erniu and ran wildly on the ruins.

After a while, he arrived in front of the bookstore.

"Come in."

At this time, a childish voice sounded in my ears.

"you sure?"

Gu Xing was stunned and asked subconsciously.

"determine."

When these two words rang out, Gu Xing was startled again, because the sound did not ring in his ears, but came from the bookstore in front.

But the voice was still familiar and childish, like a child's.

The door to the study room ahead was opened, and a broken sword appeared at the door.

"Wow, Xiao Jianjian, can you speak?"

Sally and Chen Erniu naturally heard the sound, and then the former looked at the broken sword and said in surprise.

Hearing the name Xiao Jianjian, Duan Jian was silent for a while, and then decided to ignore her and continue talking to Gu Xing.

"Come in, only you can take this map of mountains and seas."

"Why?" Gu Xing asked.

"Because I originally set it that only humans can take away this mountain and sea map."

After hearing this, Gu Xing was a little silent, and then became confused.

"Then do you think I'm still a human being now?"

Duan Jian looked at the exposed black lines on Gu Xing's upper body and was also confused.

Is the weird person still a human being? Is that a question?

But in the end he could only say helplessly.

"At least you're still half a human. Give it a try. Anyway, I'm here, so it'll be fine."

After listening to Duanjian's words, Gu Xing no longer hesitated and stepped forward.

And then, Sally asked.

"Can we go in?"

Broken Sword sighed, then turned to face her with the blade of his sword, and said helplessly.

"come in."

"Daniu Niu, let's go in together." Sally happily greeted Chen Erniu on the ground, and walked into the bookstore together.

The study room was large, and it was more than enough to accommodate Chen Erniu, so Gu Xing didn't care about what was behind him.

He walked into the bookstore for the first time and looked around, only to realize that the bookstore was even more gorgeous than what he had seen at a glance.

Landscape paintings, hanging ornaments, luminous pearls and other various things that Gu Xing knows, as well as things that he doesn't know but look extraordinary are stacked together to highlight a luxury.

But he also had some regrets. After all, he knew that these things were probably destroyed and could not be kept in his pocket.

What exists here is just the presentation of a certain energy.

And as he was looking at the landscape paintings, Gu Xing was suddenly startled.

Because he saw the signature on the landscape painting——

Dye dust.
