What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

Xiaoyu just woke up, still in a state of ignorance.After asking that sentence, she coughed for a while, and finally realized the changes in her body after regaining her composure:

"Huh? How did I change back? And... my injuries are all healed? Am I already dead?"

She looked around in confusion, then at Gu Xunzhi.Gu Xunzhi hurriedly told her about Nanming Zhu, the amount of information was too much, she thought for a while before she roughly figured out what was going on.Tentatively ask:

"So you mean... I now...have an inner alchemy again?"

"You can say that." Gu Xunzhi nodded, "You can try."

Xiaoyu sat cross-legged, followed the usual method of luck, and soon felt something like inner alchemy rising from her body.She spat out the round bead into her hand, looked at it carefully, and commented:

"This thing is bigger than my original inner alchemy."

She played with the Nanming Pearl in her hand for a while, then swallowed it again, trying to draw power from it to cast spells, and confirmed that the effect of this thing was indeed the same as her original inner alchemy, and even stronger.

Xiaoyu is just a little demon in the mountains, she knows very little, and she has never heard of Nanming Pearl before.When she understood that this thing not only saved her life, but could also replace her inner alchemy, she asked Gu Xunzhi a series of questions:

"This bead is very precious, isn't it? Where did it come from? How do you know it can replace my inner alchemy? Will there be any bad effects if it is used instead of inner alchemy? Since it is so useful, why don't you eat it yourself?"

Gu Xunzhi knew the answers to most of Xiaoyu's doubts, and he patiently answered them one by one. Xiaoyu listened carefully and seemed to find it very interesting.

However, most of Gu Xunzhi's knowledge came from books, neither Xiaoyu nor Gu Xunzhi actually knew the true value of Nanming Pearl.The output of this thing is not high, and it can almost be regarded as a consumable. It is very rare in the first place.After Ren Zhen provided shelter to the giant mirage family, it was even more difficult to find the Nanming Pearl.It can be foreseen that there may not be any Nanming pearls produced in the South China Sea in the last few hundred years. The string in Gu Xunzhi's hand can probably be regarded as a unique treasure.

The Nanming pearl that Gu Xunzhi put on Xiaoyu's clothes was quite fine, and it was probably the most perfect Nanming pearl that survived today.Even in an era when the output of Nanming beads is far greater than today's, it is absolutely impossible for such fine Nanming beads to fall into the hands of a little monster like Xiaoyu.Those who have enough power and ability to get the Nanming Pearl are probably the heroes of the whole life.If they are too far away from the South China Sea, even if they only get a second-rate Nanming Pearl for preparation, they should be satisfied.

Under normal circumstances, such a large bead is enough to replace the Great Demon Neidan who has practiced for 5000 years.It was actually a bit of a waste to use such a precious thing for Xiaoyu, but Gu Xunzhi was so anxious to save others that he didn't have time to think about it.As soon as the bead fell into Xiaoyu's mouth, it released a large amount of pure spiritual energy, instantly repairing Xiaoyu's body, and the rest spilled out and floated everywhere.

It was also thanks to Xiaoyu's complete coma at that time, if she still had a little consciousness, she would never allow these rare and pure auras to overflow, she would definitely try to absorb them.But the pure aura overflowing from Nanming Zhusan was different from ordinary aura. If her body couldn't hold it, she would explode and die.Thinking about it this way, what happened this time was considered lucky, and it was finally safe and sound.It can be expected that with the development of time in the future, when Xiaoyu's body is fully adapted to Nanming Zhu, her cultivation base will also rise to a higher level.

However, Xiaoyu took such a large Nanming Pearl that did not match her own cultivation, it was definitely not for nothing.

The inner alchemy was transformed from the aura that Xiaoyu inhaled into her body. It grew out of her body and blended perfectly with her body. The Nanming pearl was a completely strange thing, and it was very difficult to adapt to it.If the power of Nanming Zhu was weaker, it would be easier to integrate the two aspects.But now the aura contained in the Nanming Pearl is far stronger than Xiaoyu himself, and it will take Xiaoyu a long time to use it freely.Before she gets used to this, Nanmingzhu will have some backlash against her.

After Xiaoyu and Gu Xunzhi talked for a while, Nanming Zhu's power exploded.She felt dizzy for a while, suddenly fell backwards and passed out, and soon changed back to the appearance of a white fox.Gu Xunzhi held up Xiaoyu's body and showed it to Ren Zhen.After seeing it, Ren Sha said:

"It doesn't matter, it's just that we have to get in touch with Nanmingzhu for a while. But in this way, we can't leave her alone."

Gu Xunzhi looked down at Xiaoyu and said:

"In this case, let her follow us first. When she recovers, if she wants to continue to follow us or come back here, it depends on her heart."

Ren Zhen nodded, not paying much attention to this, but said:

"At this moment, the inner alchemy of the snake demon was not available, but Xiaoyu's inner alchemy was swallowed by you. Before we came out, the master told me to bring the inner alchemy back directly, and not to swallow it on the spot. Now the birth Such a change, I don't know if there will be any troubles again... How do you feel at the moment?"

Gu Xunzhi had been thinking about Xiaoyu just now, but he forgot about his own affairs.Hearing the senior brother ask, he thought for a while and said:

"There's nothing special about it, it's just that the inner alchemy felt cool when I first swallowed it, but now it's hot and hot, so I don't feel uncomfortable."

Ren Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little worried. She looked at Gu Xunzhi carefully, and checked the movement of aura in his body, and then said:

"Let's go."

After such a big shock just now, all the maids in the cave have run away, and there is not even a single person everywhere.Gu Xunzhi hugged Xiaoyu and walked out with Ren Sha.The Snake Girl's cave is very large, and the previous explosion didn't cause much impact, and the roads are still smooth.

Gu Xunzhi deliberately memorized the path before, and now it can be regarded as useful, and he can easily distinguish the correct path at every fork in the road.But occasionally there are times when he can't remember clearly. At this time, he stood at the intersection worrying, and Ren Zhen took his hand,

"Go this way."

Relying on Gu Xunzhi's memory and Ren Sha's excellent induction, they left the cave smoothly.Originally there were many little monsters outside the cave, but now they have disappeared.They went down the mountain and returned to Xiaoyu's hut for the night.

Xiaoyu remained in a coma and did not wake up, but her breathing and heartbeat seemed to be quite stable, obviously nothing serious.According to Ren Sha, she will remain in this state for a long time.They put Xiaoyu on the grass bed where she used to sleep, and then they each found a place to sleep.

The next morning, Gu Xunzhi woke up very early.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt that his state was different from usual.

The burning feeling brought by the inner alchemy in the abdomen disappeared, and it became a little cold again.But it's not as cold as it was at first.Gu Xunzhi stretched out his hands to support the bed and got up, and then found... the wrinkles on his hands had disappeared.

Ren Sha's medicine slowed down his aging speed before, making him look quite energetic, but wrinkles and the like are still unavoidable after all.But at this moment, although his hands were still skinny and his skin looked dry, the wrinkles on them had indeed disappeared overnight.

There is no mirror here, so Gu Xunzhi doesn't know if his appearance has changed.He cautiously reached out to touch his face, and all those familiar wrinkles had faded now... He seemed to have suddenly become younger overnight.

In addition, his hearing has also improved a lot, and many sounds that he can't hear at all at all now reach his ears, making him startled every time he hears a little movement.

Gu Xunzhi got used to his new state, and seeing that it was still early, he took the Nanming beads that had been dismantled yesterday, and prepared to put them on again.Too many things happened yesterday, he was sleepy and exhausted and soon fell asleep, without time to do anything.Yesterday, in order to save Xiaoyu, he took apart the bead string given by his senior brother. Although the senior brother didn't say anything, Gu Xunzhi always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he just wanted to restore the bead string to its original state as soon as possible.

Gu Xunzhi's wrist is very thin, even if a bead is missing from the bracelet, it can still be worn as before.When he finished finishing the string of beads, he turned around and saw that Ren Xun had woken up, so he turned to him and said:

"Brother, I'm going to get some breakfast."

Ren Zhen looked at his face, showing surprise, staring at him intently.Gu Xunzhi was a little embarrassed by his senior brother's gaze, and asked him as if to cover up:

"Brother, I look...younger?"

Ren Sha nodded and didn't say much.But Gu Xunzhi always felt that what he was paying attention to was not his own face, but the top of his head.

Is there something on his head?

Gu Xunzhi reached out to touch his forehead, but he didn't feel anything, so he dispelled his doubts and said again:

"I went to cook."

The so-called cooking is nothing more than cooking dry food, jerky and wild vegetables together.Xiaoyu has a pot here, which can be used to make these.Gu Xunzhi took the pot to the nearby stream to draw water. The stream was very clear and the flow was not too fast. When he was drawing water, he saw his own reflection in the water.

The man reflected in the water looks about 40 years old, with fair and beautiful skin, exactly the same as his previous appearance.

But Gu Xunzhi didn't have time to look carefully, he found that his ears were gone, replaced by a pair of white pointy things on top of his head.He had some bad guesses in his heart, collected himself, and stretched out his hand carefully to touch it, touching the fluffy one hand.

He was startled and almost dropped the pot into the stream.After sitting on the shore for a long time, I finally regained my strength, but no matter what, I couldn't accept the clear reality in front of me——

He has a pair of fox ears.

The author has something to say: I have spent so much effort just for this moment!Hahaha~ [Laughs up to the sky three times]
