Former Enemy [Rebirth]

Finally, after the front of the clothes on his chest was completely soaked with sweat, five separate pure five-color auras of yellow, green, blue, red, and brown began to appear on Su Che's fingertips one after another, instead of the previous five-color aura mixed together .

The pure aura representing the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth respectively flows into the meridian directly and evenly from the fingertips of the five fingers under the vortex of the sea of ​​qi unique to the five spirit roots, guided by Su Che's mind , completed the goal of separating the mixed spiritual energy outside the body before absorbing it.

It wasn't until seeing this scene that An Qiyuan's clenched fists gradually loosened. Only then did he belatedly realize that his palms were completely drenched with sweat.

But who would have thought that just as An Qiyuan relaxed his vigilance, Su Che suddenly stopped, tilted his body and fell down on the rosette.

"Ache!"

An Qiyuan rushed over to hug the limp Su Che in his arms, and gently brushed away the sweat-soaked strands of hair on Su Che's face.

"Is there something wrong?"

Su Che closed his eyes and panted in An Qiyuan's arms for a long time, then slowly opened his eyes.

After seeing those clear and agile eyes, An Qiyuan finally let go of the stone in his heart.

"It's okay, it's just because I'm too happy and dripping, I'm afraid that I'll hurt my meridians too much."

Su Che laughed, his brows and eyes were full of joy after breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation.

An Qiyuan hugged Su Che, and couldn't help but keep kissing his still sweaty face.

"That's great Ache, that's great..."

Now that he has found the most suitable method for cultivating the Five Spiritual Root talent, Su Che's cultivation progress can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds in the following time.

But the talent of the Five Spirit Roots determines that Su Che must put in more efforts to achieve the results that seem to be consistent with others before completing the foundation-building stage.

Therefore, in the half a year since he found the best cultivation method, although Su Che was able to maximize the ability to absorb spiritual energy in his meridians every day, the sea of ​​​​qi was still like a bottomless black hole. The accumulation and settlement day and night still have a certain distance from the completion of foundation building.

Since the rumors happened, in order to prevent more troubles, Du Changmao has asked Qiu Quanshu to let An Qiyuan retreat and concentrate on cultivation, and he will no longer be the supervisor and trainer.

Qiu Quanshu naturally knew the stakes after Fa Neng intervened in this matter, so he naturally agreed to Du Changmao's proposal based on the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less.

But in this way, it also blocked An Qiyuan from going out to inquire about the "enemy situation" for Su Che - presumably, Deng Chong would not take it lightly and devote himself to cultivation in the past year.

It's not that An Qiyuan didn't think about finding an opportunity to sneak out of the seal to find out the news. Even if he doesn't go out, at worst, he can use his power to manipulate spirit beasts or puppets to visit Deng Chong's place, but these thoughts are useless. With one exception, it was rejected by Su Che.

"Since you have been targeted by Fa Neng, he must have set up an eyeliner around Deng Chong in order to find out your true and false. As long as there is any trouble, he will receive news from his side."

So don't say that An Qiyuan cracked Du Changmao's protector seal and sneaked out, even manipulating spirit beasts or puppets will leave more or less traces of spiritual power—and An Qiyuan's current cultivation is no more than It is the initial stage of foundation building with an unstable state, so how can it be possible to break through the seal set by the monks in the alchemy stage?And the spells of bewitching spirit beasts and manipulating puppets that only the magic cultivators of Unforgiven Valley can reveal their identities more easily.

No matter what, Su Che would never let An Qiyuan take the risk of such a matter of giving someone a handle.

"Tsk, this Deng Chong is really..."

An Qiyuan only felt that the back molars were itching, which is just like the saying that toads don't bite but respond to people.

Su Che smiled lightly and said: "You are too much to worry about. With Deng Chong's aptitude, it is absolutely impossible to complete the foundation building within a year, at most he can only cultivate to a high level of Qi refining."

"Although I am still stagnant in the middle stage of Qi refining, there are signs of a breakthrough. I believe I will be able to advance to the next stage in a few days."

"Under the premise of equal cultivation, Deng Chong can't be my opponent."

Su Che seemed to be comforting a irascible lion, almost telling all the possibilities, while An Qiyuan was still eating salty radish and not worrying.

"Besides, Qiu Quanshu and Du Changmao both know how important I am to you. For you, they will definitely find a way to protect me. It is impossible for Deng Chong to have a chance to do something wrong."

An Qiyuan frowned and said, "I certainly won't doubt Qiu Quanshu's sincerity, but the existence of Fa Neng is the biggest variable. Who knows whether he will contact Deng Chong in private during this period and give him Guidance on spells or even some secret medicines to improve cultivation? If so, Deng Chong's strength will definitely be much stronger than ordinary high-level qi refining."

"Besides, if there is a way to obstruct you secretly in the competition arena, even Qiu Quanshu may not be able to protect you completely."

Su Che felt helpless, but he knew that there would be no results if this discussion continued, so he simply pretended to be angry and said, "So I'm so bad in your heart? Anyway, I was also a monk who reached the peak of God Transformation before. , is it possible that he will lose to a young boy who has been taught by Fa Neng?"

An Qiyuan saw that Su Che's tone was unhappy, so he hurriedly explained: "You know that's not what I meant, but it's just that it's easy to hide a hidden arrow and it's hard to defend against it. You are really good at cultivation and enlightenment, but if you want to be darker than your heart, But it’s far from those people.”

Su Che turned his head and stared at An Qiyuan thoughtfully: "You're right, if my thoughts can be half as twisted and twisted as yours, how could I have been tossed around by you for nothing before?" So long?"

Seeing that the topic was shifted to an old account from before, the expression on An Qiyuan's face was almost unbearable, and he could only wilt like a cabbage beaten by frost.

"Ah Che, can't I be wrong? I promise you that you will never sneak out to find out the news, right?"

Su Che couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart, but his face was still as cold as ice.

"anything else?"

An Qiyuan thought for a while and had to add: "Oh, and, you will definitely win."

Su Che nodded: "That's about the same."

After finishing speaking, he returned to the lotus seat to meditate, and never looked at An Qiyuan again.

Seeing that Su Che doesn't seem to be obsessed with the past, An Qi secretly heaves a sigh of relief, but also finds that the interaction between the two of them seems a little strange in recent days.

I don't know when it started, Su Che's temper towards him became more and more accurate, and sometimes he even felt that Su Che was eating him to death for no reason, but he was so happy that he didn't want to resist at all.

Thinking about it carefully, this feeling of lack of energy is really a kind of sweet pain.

And the time also came to the day of the big competition in Qingyang Cave Gate under the long-term relationship between the two.

Following the removal of the seal of the Dharma protector outside the Xuanbing Cave, An Qiyuan led Su Che out of the cave, and bowed to Du Changmao who was standing with his hands behind his back beside the Bagua Xiangyun Gate.

"Brother, long time no see, don't you come here?"

Logically speaking, both Qiu Quanshu and Du Changmao were used to putting all their attention on An Yuan.But this time, as soon as the two young men came out, Du Changmao subconsciously looked at Su Che.

Because there was no one else, An Qiyuan didn't restrain his coercion on purpose, and released the unstable spiritual waves that belonged to the initial stage of foundation establishment, but his realm was still significantly stronger than when he just completed foundation establishment a year ago.

Du Changmao was quite satisfied with this progress, he patted An Yuan on the shoulder and didn't say anything, instead he went straight to Su Che.

"Oh? Mid-level Qi refining?"

Du Changmao can know Su Che's reality with just one touch. Seeing that Su Che has been retreating in the Xuanbing Cave for a whole year, with An Qiyuan around him for advice, he has only reached the middle level of Qi Refining.

Remembering that Deng Chong had broken through to a high level of Qi refining not long ago, his brows could not help but frown. Sure enough, the gap between talents is a gap that cannot be bridged by hard work the day after tomorrow.

Even during this year, with Qiu Quanshu's acquiescence, he has deliberately or unintentionally tripped up Deng Chong in the dark, especially in the last few collective distributions of pills, because Du Changmao's disciples knew that Deng Chong had offended him. He deliberately "lost" Deng Chong's elixir by his master, and when Deng Chong went to get it again, the people in the Alchemy Pavilion refused to make it up for him because the elixir had run out.

At that time, Du Changmao was hidden in the dark, and he clearly saw the twist on Deng Chong's face after being rejected.

It's just that Du Changmao couldn't do more.

First of all, it is well known that Deng Chong sent a letter to Su Che. Although all the disciples did not dare to have too much contact with Deng Chong because of the relationship between the upper echelon of Qingyang Cave, but the way they treated Deng Chong in their hearts was not completely clear. not agree.

In particular, the condition Deng Chong promised was to improve the supply of elixir to all disciples. This alone has gained a sufficient mass base.If the gangsters on Du Changmao's side were too aggressive, it would arouse public outrage and make public opinion completely turn to Deng Chong's side, which is really not beautiful.

Second, after Deng Chong was rescued by Fa Neng that day, he went to Penglai Pavilion where Faneng lived temporarily every day to kowtow to say hello.

Although Fa Neng never went out to meet guests on the grounds of monks retreating and practicing, this method of reporting safety to Fa Neng was really ingeniously designed.

Just think about it, if Deng Chong, who came to kowtow every day to pay his respects, didn't show up on time one day, wouldn't Faneng know immediately that something happened to Deng Chong?

Especially after Deng rushed to the little novice outside the Fa Neng Gate and said that he was squeezed out by his peers and deliberately lost his elixir. To Deng Chong, he also said some words of encouragement, "Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Si, and he will definitely suffer from it." He was so angry that he followed Du Changmao's beard flying around in the dark.

Facts have proved that although this Deng Chong's dual spiritual roots are low-grade, he is indeed superior in terms of cultivation and enlightenment. Otherwise, he would not have broken through to the high level of Qi refining in just one year.

If it weren't for his eagerness for quick success and quick profit, he would be a good seedling to be cultivated.

Du Changmao sighed helplessly, and said to Su Che without any negative emotions: "With the innate power of the four spiritual roots, it is really rare for you to reach the middle level of Qi refining in just one year of retreat. I think your middle level is very good. Man, it seems that there is another breakthrough, and the gap with Deng Chong who has just broken through the high-level qi refining is not too big. You don't have to be burdened by your heart and do more reluctantly, you only need to do your best in the competition arena."

Su Che lightly smiled and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Daoist, for your reminder, and it will save Su Ming."

Seeing that Su Che is well-behaved, Du Changmao couldn't help comforting him: "Even if you lose, it's just a loss to the Elder's Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, and those pills are also distributed to the disciples of Qingyang Cave, so it can be said that the fat and water don't flow to outsiders." Tian, ​​there is nothing to worry about."

As soon as this remark came out, it meant that Du Changmao already felt that the battle between Su Che and Deng Chong had been decided the moment he saw Su Che.
