Cultivating Immortals in Martial Arts

Xia Houxun coughed lightly, bent down and picked up the bead that had rolled on the ground with great effort, and fell into deep thought as he looked at the unattractive bead in front of him... It is true that Ye Nanyi gave him this bead by mistake. Is it for revenge on Tian/Yijiao or there is something inside... Now that Ye Nanyi is dead, his purpose of doing this is unknown...

The only thing he wants to know now is, what kind of magical power does this plain-looking bead have, which makes Ye Nanyi willing to endure torture to protect it to the end, and makes the sect even go out of its way to get Renzong? It is the most mysterious department of Tian/Yijiao, under the unified leadership of the leader, and usually performs the most difficult and secretive top-secret tasks of Tian/Yijiao. Even to find the mirage map, Tian/Yijiao has no labor Renzong...

Finding this bead is by no means overnight. It is estimated that when Tian/Yijiao was looking for the mirage map, the leader had already sent Renzong to start looking for the dark bead... When facing the two tasks of mirage map and dark bead, Tian/Yi The leader of the religion chose to send Renzong to carry out the task of finding the dark pearl, which is enough to prove that in his heart, the weight of this dark pearl is only a lot more than the mirage picture that everyone in the martial arts wants to get...

So, what exactly is this dark pillar!

Xia Houxun only hated that Ye Nanyi was not rescued at the time, at least he found out what it was. When he told Bai Heling about the incident of Tian/Yijiao's bloody wash in Misty Valley, he didn't tell him that the dark pearl was in him. The fact here is that he had asked Bai Heling about it later, but he seemed to have never heard of the dark pearl, and Xia Houxun's original hope of getting some information from him was in vain...

That day, I heard from Renzong's protector that this dark bead was originally a thing from Tian/Yijiao... However, when Renzong was looking for the dark bead, he seemed not to let others find out, and he even took all the people in Misty Valley to keep it secret. They were all killed. If they hadn't broken into the Medicine Saint's Hall that day, the disciples of the Medicine Saint who were captured in the mansion probably would have escaped death as well.

So having said that, what exactly is this dark pearl!

...Although I can't think of it for the time being, this bead is definitely not an ordinary jewel. Something that can be treated so seriously by the leader of Tian/Yijiao must be something that is of great help to martial arts...

Xia Houxun picked up the dark pillar and placed it under the sun to examine it carefully. Under the sun, the dark pillar was just an ordinary crimson bead... the color was not good, not even that of agate, so it was nothing unusual just to look at it ...

He frowned and took a closer look. This color... seems to be a bit like the five stone powder that celebrities usually take, but it's much bigger than that... Could it be... an elixir? !

Thinking of this possibility, Xia Houxun quickly put the bead in his mouth and took a hard bite.

"..." He clutched his cheeks, this thing almost broke his teeth... It seems that it is not a elixir, and it cannot be eaten randomly...

He also thought of a rumor that if a peerless master sits down and dissolves at the end of his life, he can form a pill, and if the golden pill is eaten by someone, he can obtain nine out of ten of that master's internal strength... Could this bead be this thing?Otherwise, why did Ye Nanyi want to eat it... But he thought about it, he hadn't digested it for almost a year after eating it, and he didn't feel that it would help his martial arts... When he was practicing just now, he still couldn't digest it. It caused damage to his body and almost caused him to go crazy...

He thought about many possibilities, but Xia Houxun denied them one by one. He failed to think about it for a while, and he didn't dare to deal with it without authorization, so he put it in his arms.

When Ji Che came in, he saw Xia Houxun sitting on a stone in a daze. It was strange that he didn't forget to eat and sleep to practice kung fu today.

But when he saw the blood on his feet, Ji Che understood. He frowned, walked over quickly, grabbed Xia Houxun's wrist, and while examining his pulse, he disagreed and said, "I said, practice is good." Don't be too hasty." After taking the pulse, Ji Che gently put down his hand and said, "You are not allowed to practice any more for a few days."

Xia Houxun nodded, opened his mouth, wanted to say something but didn't say anything.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Ji Che frowned and asked, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Xia Houxun laughed and said, "I'm hungry." For some reason, he still didn't tell Ji Che about An Zhu when he got to his lips.

……

In the few days after he vomited blood, Xia Houxun really did not practice, but went into Wang Lie's old room every day to study his old books carefully.

Xia Houxun is the one who is the most impatient to read. When he was practicing before, Ji Che asked him to read more books. After he read two pages, his eyelids disappeared for a while. They were so intimately combined as if they had been separated for three autumns. open.

In the past few days, he has been uncharacteristically immersed in studying hard, and he seems to be stuck in the book and can't get out. Ji Che couldn't help but wonder: "Is there a bottleneck in cultivation?"

Xia Houxun watched intently, and casually said "En".

Suddenly, he complained again: "When will the master's faults of painting talismans be corrected? He will not let go of this last page..." As he spoke, he handed the book to Ji Che and gave him a complaining look.

Ji Che couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it. His master made an impromptu painting on the last page of "Taixuan Qingjing Jing". After a rough look, he could only see circles of bumpy circles covering the water ripples, but Looking at this painting is disturbing.

The painter started out as if he wanted to draw an ocean, so he added some water ripples on it, and felt that the painting was not good halfway, so he drew a few circles casually.

Xia Houxun only gave him a glance, and then took it away. Because his master usually scribbled on the book, Ji Che didn't think about it when he saw this impromptu graffiti.

He just said to Xia Houxun: "What can you teach with a painting, the left and right are on the last page and it won't affect your reading."

Xia Houxun probably also felt that he was looking for something to do, so he said a little annoyed: "I've been a little restless lately..."

Ji Che then said in a cliche: "Cultivation is the most taboo to be impetuous, and that's how you vomited blood last time."

Xia Houxun nodded indifferently. It has been more than a month since he vomited blood last time. He searched through all the books left by Wang Lie, but he was still at a loss as to the effect of the dark bead.

Not only did he fail to study the function of the dark bead, but his cultivation progress fell. It seems that there is no way to solve the mystery of the dark bead for the time being, so let's take precautions... After he finishes his studies and goes down the mountain, he will go to the Xuanji Pavilion to inquire. The Xuanji Pavilion is in charge of the Jianghu, maybe you can know...

In the evening, when the two meditated together, Xia Houxun completed the second level of cultivation mentioned in the fairy book, and wanted to learn the third level, so Ji Che re-sealed and opened the fairy book... It is not impossible to practice hard all night carry……

In the middle of the night, Ji Che asked Xia Houxun to go back to rest. He was still relatively weak and had vomited blood a month ago, so Ji Che refused to let him practice more and sent him back to rest.

Xu was thinking day by day and dreaming at night. At night, Xia Houxun dreamed that he had learned the third level of the fairy book. He was very happy and wanted to take advantage of the victory to learn the fourth level, so he begged Ji Che to reopen the fairy book. ...

Ji Che made another seal, aiming the starlight that appeared on his fingertips at the... dark pearl on the table?The scarlet light of the bead exploded in front of Xia Houxun's eyes, dyeing his dreams scarlet...

Xia Houxun woke up after dreaming here... The moonlight outside the window was like frost, and everything was silent, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what...

He thought back to his dream, yes, why didn't he think of it, this dark bead might be the same as the fairy book jade card, it is also a medium of secret books, and it needs specific spells to open...

He sat in a mess in his head until the morning, when Ji Che asked him to have breakfast, and when he was having porridge, he pretended not to ask Ji Che, "Archer, that fairy book is so miraculous. In this way, even if this fairy book falls into the hands of others, they will not be able to open it, which is very safe."

Hearing his words, Ji Che said, "Actually, that's not always the case. There are less than ten seal-making techniques related to objects in this world. As long as there is sufficient internal force, they can be opened. The real mystery of the book of heaven is not in it." Therefore, if you have a predestined relationship with him, you will know in the future."

Xia Houxun didn't hear the second half of his sentence at all, his attention was attracted by the previous words, and he pretended to be surprised: "So there are secret books hidden in jade tablets like heavenly books in this world?"

Ji Che said: "Naturally there are many. In the past, the secret books of Taiping Taoism were also hidden in a night pearl, and only the direct branch could practice... Master said that there were ten schools of ghosts in the Han Dynasty, and the secret books of their sect were hidden in a tree. In the wooden token, Zhang Ling, the powerful fairy teacher of the Justice League, led people to encircle and suppress the ten gates of ghosts. The suzerain of the ten gates of ghosts lost to Zhang Ling. The wooden order is on, so I escaped a catastrophe."

"and after?"

"Later, Zhang Ling destroyed his body, and he revived his soul with the corpse. At that time, the rivers and lakes fell into a gloomy mist. Later, my master fought with him in the Tianshan Mountains and encountered an avalanche. He has disappeared since then, probably dead. .”

"Oh..." Xia Houxun nodded thoughtfully.

After breakfast, he asked Ji Che to find out the book that taught seal seal techniques for him, and began to practice seal seal techniques.

Three days later, Ji Che went down the mountain to buy rice, and before leaving, he told Xia Houxun that he should practice kung fu with peace of mind and not rush for success.

Xia Houxun obediently agreed, and as soon as Ji Che left, he couldn't wait to take out the beads and began to try the technique of sealing seals... When he calmed down the anxiety in his heart and patiently tried the eighth method, the secret The bead suddenly soared into the sky, the scarlet light flourished, and two sentences appeared out of thin air in an instant:

You dedicate your heart and blood, I dedicate to the gods

The author has something to say:

My brother Xun is about to rise, Sahua??(°▽°)ノ?
