The second villain wants to become a god [System]

Before retreating, he gave Amber a comfortable body massage.

Amber knew that Xie Xiuzhu was going to retreat. He was practicing calligraphy with Xie Xiuzhu these days, and the frequency of his practice had also dropped. When Xie Xiuzhu was retreating, he just seized the time to make up for the wasted time.

Xie Xiuzhu touched Hupo's forehead and said, "Good girl, you just stay in my room these days, you know? I've prepared Bigu Dan and Lingquan water. Remember to use it when you're hungry or thirsty. It’s better to wrap up the bedding when you sleep, so as not to catch a cold. Don’t run around at ordinary times, you know that I have enemies in Hanyu Palace. Wait obediently for me to leave the customs, please?”

Amber didn't dislike Xie Xiuzhu's old mother-in-law nagging, so she said "Aw" in a low voice to show that she understood.

Xie Xiuzhu nodded in relief: "Ling Xin will only stay with me in retreat for half a month. You can play with him after he comes out first. Well, Amber is the cutest, isn't she?"

Amber was kissed lightly on the top of Xie Xiuzhu's head, feeling uncomfortable, stood up and turned around in a circle, rubbed her cheek against the back of Xie Xiuzhu's hand, jumped off the table, and returned to his place on Xie Xiuzhu's bed up.

Xie Xiuzhu smiled, and went to the quiet room of the disciple hall with Ling Xin who was waiting at the door, and began to retreat from today.

The quiet room is a space about ten meters square, with a few futons in the middle, and a transparent glazed tile on the top. The sky light shines down, illuminating the whole quiet room.

Close the stone door with excellent sound insulation effect, and the room is instantly silent, no matter how impetuous people are, they will involuntarily be quiet.

Ling Xin and Xie Xiuzhu sat down opposite each other on the two futons in the middle, Ling Xin took the lead and said: "The impurities accumulated on your body are not accumulated in a day or two, they are almost going deep into the roots, and there may be some pain in the process of pulling them out. , just bear with it."

Xie Xiuzhu met Ling Xin's gaze and nodded quietly: "Thank you, Master, I think I can bear it."

Seeing that Xie Xiuzhu was already mentally prepared, Ling Xin stopped talking nonsense, folded his hands in front of his chest, and strands of ice-blue aura slowly floated up from his palms, "Don't resist, let me do what I want."

Xie Xiuzhu lowered his eyes, and just as he exhaled, a sharp pain came from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

From top to bottom, the strange aura permeates into Xie Xiuzhu's eight extraordinary meridians little by little, lingering in his body, once it finds impurities deposited in the meridians, it quickly rolls up, devouring the impurities as if looking for food Exhausted.

Xie Xiuzhu felt the pain coming from every nerve, as if insects had entered his body, nibbling away his flesh and blood unscrupulously, sweating coldly from the pain, and wanted to beg for mercy, but after the impurities disappeared, the spiritual root where he exhaled spiritual energy There will suddenly be a clear and refreshing feeling, as if the cobwebs covering the window have been swept away, so refreshing and comfortable.

The two strong feelings intertwined, Xie Xiuzhu couldn't even breathe out, he just felt extremely unbearable, but at this time, less than a quarter of an hour had passed, and he couldn't help feeling that life was difficult.

But the rewards for such pain and suffering are also extremely impressive.

Ten days later, Ling Xin let out a long breath, and finally withdrew her spiritual power.

The moment he withdrew his spiritual power, Xie Xiuzhu fell limply to the ground as if he lost his strength, panting heavily.

Ling Xin sat cross-legged. Although it took him a lot of energy to wash Xie Xiuzhu's meridians, his cultivation base was too high, and he recovered within just a few breaths.On the other hand, Xie Xiuzhu, he didn't even have time to take the Bigu Pill in the past ten days, I'm afraid he's tired, hungry and in pain right now, it's quite uncomfortable.

But this teenager, who was only in his teens, never complained from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even cry out for pain once.Based on this alone, Ling Xin felt that she didn't do anything in vain this time.

"Enough rest, let's get up and eat something." After finishing speaking, Ling Xin rarely showed a slight smile, "Teacher, you have a very good heart."

Xie Xiuzhu tried his best to sit up, and replied with a wry smile: "Thank you, Master, for the compliment, but I hope that in the future, you will never let Master praise my character again... This kind of errand is really tormenting."

As he said that, Xie Xiuzhu took out two bigu pills from the storage bag and ate them, then calmed down to adjust his breath for a while, and finally regained his strength.

When adjusting breath, Xie Xiuzhu mobilized the spiritual power in his body to run around, and obviously found that the running speed was much faster, and the feeling from the spiritual root was no longer stagnant, and the continuous ice-attribute spiritual energy was absorbed by the spiritual root from the heaven and the earth In the body, it is injected into the dantian through the meridians of the whole body, adding to the torrent of spiritual power in the body.

When Xie Xiuzhu opened his eyes, he couldn't hide the surprise inside.

Ling Xin raised the corners of her lips, and asked with a quite complacent smile: "Why, am I right? After solving the problem of your spiritual roots being blocked, your talent immediately stepped into the realm of only one person in a hundred years."

"Thank you, Master!" Xie Xiuzhu's eyes were bent, the word "talent", how many years has hindered him in his previous life?Being ridiculed by others is still a trivial matter. Over the years, the improvement of cultivation base has been slow. When building the spirit foundation, he barely obtained a sixth-grade spirit foundation.But now, with a transparent and pure ice attribute single spirit root, the worst is the worst, he can also have an eighth-grade spirit foundation plus those three top-grade foundation-building pills, and he even hopes to hit the legendary tenth-grade spirit foundation!

What does the tenth grade spirit foundation mean?It means that even if he fishes for three days and spends two days drying nets after foundation establishment, he can easily form a pill successfully!I don't have to be like my previous life... I'm in my 20s and still can't figure out the way to form alchemy.

Ling Xin raised her hand and patted Xie Xiuzhu's shoulder, and asked, "Next, are you going to retreat and practice by yourself? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Xie Xiuzhu pressed Ling Xin's hand on his shoulder.

Ling Xin, who maintained the form of an old man, tilted his head, and asked in doubt: "Xiu Zhu, what do you want to say?"

"Master..." Xie Xiuzhu said sincerely, "You are so kind to me! Thank you!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Ling Xin had been a fox in the northern glacier for more than 100 years, and she didn't have much contact with humans. The person who had the most contact was Xie Qingling back then.It's just that Xie Qingling likes to tease him from time to time, but rarely says really nasty things.Hearing Xie Xiuzhu's words out of the blue at this moment, Ling Xin couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, so she could only cough a few times to cover up her momentary embarrassment.

Seeing that Ling Xin was not used to such words, Xie Xiuzhu secretly remembered Ling Xin's kindness in his heart with a smile, and then sincerely grabbed Ling Xin's hand and wished: "Master, you will definitely find my grandfather soon! Come on!" At that time, I will definitely praise you to Grandpa!"

"Huh?" Ling Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Come on... why are you praising me, there's no need! But thank you for your blessing, I hope I can really find him."

Xie Xiuzhu said again: "Master, do you want to go to other places in the mainland to find grandpa?"

Ling Xin sighed: "I thought about it, but I promised him to stay in the northern glacier and wait for him, and not to meddle in the affairs of the mainland. Although it is not my style to sit and wait, I can't miss the appointment."

As a sympathetic person (?) who also wants to find his lover, Xie Xiuzhu feels that sitting and waiting is really... There are too many unknowable factors. After thinking about it, he said: "Isn't it also what Grandpa asked you to promise to take care of me?" What? It’s still more than a month before your welcoming ceremony. I’m going to take the key to the god-level secret realm while everyone’s attention is on the main hall and leave. I’m sure I won’t be able to stay in the northern continent for long. , will you follow me?"

In fact, Xie Xiuzhu doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to completely involve Ling Xin in his affairs, but if there is a chance and Ling Xin is willing, it would be great if he and Hu Po can act together with Ling Xin. With the experts on hand, at least half of the security problems can be solved.

"That's right! That guy forced me to agree to let me take care of you. Leaving the northern continent to take care of you, shouldn't it be considered a breach of contract?" Ling Xin murmured, then smiled, "Very good, then So it's decided."

A consensus was readily reached, and the two agreed on the day of the ceremony. Ling Xin would leave Hanyu Palace as soon as the ceremony was over, and then meet Xie Xiuzhu at the edge of the northern continent.

The Hanyu Palace is not located deep in the northern continent, so this agreed place is only half a day's journey even for Xie Xiuzhu, who is on the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Ling Xin's character is still more cautious than the young Xie Xiuzhu, he asked: "Have you considered the situation where something goes wrong in the middle of the plan? What if there are other methods in the forbidden area and you are discovered?"

Xie Xiuzhu thought for a while, and said: "Master, although as your apprentice, I should confess some things to you... But I really can't tell you too much in detail. In short, when it is a last resort, I have a way to save my life." , you don’t need to worry. The main reason is that my cultivation base is still low, and I can’t directly communicate with you at any time through spiritual consciousness, so I have to adopt the method of meeting in advance by agreeing a place.”

When Ling Xin talked with Xie Xiuzhu some time ago, she knew that he was hiding something, but as long as this apprentice was on her side, there was no need to get to the bottom of it.

Ling Xin nodded to show that she understood, "Okay, let's settle this matter like this first. What about cultivation? Do you have any questions?"

"The exercises I am currently practicing are the Tianyi Ice Jue for beginners and the Nine Heavens Ice Jue that is the true essence of Hanyu Palace. My... mother taught me to memorize the first half of the Jue before, but because my teacher couldn't guide me, I have been doing it all the time. I dare not practice," Xie Xiuzhu asked Ling Xin inquisitively, "Master, do you understand the Nine Heavens Ice Art?"

This is the right person to ask.

Ling Xin first asked Xie Xiuzhu to recite the part of the formula he knew, to make sure that what Rong Shu'er taught Xie Xiuzhu was correct, and then began to explain the important and difficult points of the Nine Heavens Ice Jue to Xie Xiuzhu sentence by sentence.

In fact, this formula was learned by Xie Xiuzhu in his previous life. He was in his 20s and applied to go out to practice. Although Xie Zunting felt that his cultivation base was too weak, Hanyu Palace has always been famous for its tricky strength and extraordinary skills. It would be a disgrace for the dignified heir to recruit the common-seller-like introductory Tianyi Ice Jue during the practice, so he was asked to memorize the first half of the Nine Heavens Ice Jue.

However, after he was sure that Xie Xiuzhu had memorized the formula, he walked away without any explanation to Xie Xiuzhu, so that Xie Xiuzhu stumbled and comprehended it by himself. It took a long time, but he failed to comprehend the essence of it. In the end, he still used the Tianyi Ice Jue to fight against the enemy, which caused countless ridicules, but Xie Xiuzhu still had no power to refute.

Xie Qingling's cultivation has always been inferior to Ling Xin's, and he doesn't worry that Ling Xin is a demon cultivator. Back then, he often came to Ling Xin with his own skills to ask for advice. It's easy to tell Xie Xiuzhu.

Xie Xiuzhu listened carefully to his comprehension, and quickly opened his mind.Ling Xin had almost finished speaking, and said, "During the Qi refining period, it is enough to comprehend this, and the rest will be left to you after you build a foundation. The Nine Heavens Ice Jue is indeed an excellent exercise, and it is worthy of your deep comprehension. .”

"Yes, Xiuzhu understands." Xie Xiuzhu stood up, bowed to Ling Xin, and watched him leave the quiet room.

After Ling Xin left, Xie Xiuzhu was the only one left in the quiet room.It was night at this time, and Xie Xiuzhu could see a few stars in the dark blue sky through the glazed tiles above his head, blinking his eyes flickeringly.

After silently chewing the aftertaste of what Ling Xin said just now, he was sure that there was nothing missing, and Fang called out in his mind: "Zhi Nan?"

Zhi Nan, who had disappeared for more than ten days, immediately responded: "Hi host, do you have any instructions?"

Xie Xiuzhu said: "Do I still have a middle-grade magic weapon that I haven't received from the system yet?"

Zhi Nan replied: "Yes, may I ask which medium-grade magic weapon does the host want?"

Xie Xiuzhu was stunned, "Can I still choose?"

"Of course." Saying that, Zhi Nan projected a system menu in front of Xie Xiuzhu's eyes, and three-dimensional models of thousands of middle-grade magic weapons slowly rotated in front of Xie Xiuzhu.

"The above includes all the middle-grade magic weapons that have appeared in this world. Please choose the host as you like."

"It can still be like this...?" Xie Xiuzhu was once again shocked by the powerful functions of the system. Since it is all the middle-grade magic weapons that have appeared before... a name suddenly appeared in Xie Xiuzhu's mind.
