Do not die

The first day of June, morning.

In the quiet room, Meng Zhou sat cross-legged casually, with a huge Xuanling turtle egg lying in his outstretched palms.

Its palms are like a pair of warm cradle, and the vitality mana that is continuously fed into the turtle eggs makes the little life bred in the two turtle eggs very comfortable.

As if coming to life, it was trembling slightly, and a soft rustling sound came from inside the turtle egg.

"puff--"

With a soft sound, the turtle egg on the left palm broke open, and a turtle claw was revealed, followed by a head and body.

A little turtle struggled to climb out of the eggshell. It was very difficult at first, as if its bones were made of soft dough.

But soon, as it fell down and got up again and again, the bones around its body quickly hardened, supporting it to crawl.

From being shaky to being presentable, it only takes a few breaths.

The little turtle crawled around in circles twice in Meng Zhou's hand, then began to get close to the egg shell full of life, and quickly began to gnaw on it like a silkworm eating a mulberry leaf.

Just when the little turtle started to eat, the turtle egg in the right palm also started to move. A small head pushed open the egg shell, looked around, and then retracted its head.

It didn't struggle to crawl out, but just started from the damaged area inside the egg shell, chewing out a hole huge enough for it to crawl out easily.

Meng Zhou simply named the two turtles "Turtle One" and "Turtle Two" based on the time they broke their shells, and made his final judgment by observing their habits and status.

"Well, Turtle One has better talents, but Turtle Two is more clever."

After the two little turtles swallowed all the egg shells into their bellies, they began to fall over, as if they were going to sleep immediately.

At this moment, their body outlines are obviously larger than when they first came out of the eggs, and their life aura is more obviously condensed.

Meng Zhou stuffed two animal pellets into the mouths of the two little turtles respectively. The two turtles immediately fell into a deep sleep, and Meng Zhou put them into the animal bags.

Beast pill making is an extremely basic skill for a spirit master.

Meng Zhou also based on his understanding of Xuanling Turtles these days, as well as his attainments in alchemy and medicine, he specially prepared beast pills for them that were most suitable for their use.

Although these beast pills were prepared by Meng Zhou using the most common first-order spiritual herbs and elixirs, for them, they were the best.

On the one hand, it can accelerate their growth.

On the other hand, it can also maximize the potential of their bloodline while ensuring their rapid growth.

The quality of second-level high-quality products and whether they can grow to second-level high-quality products are completely different things.

…

A stream of spiritual energy washes through the body, and both body and mind are restored to their best condition.

Finally, the flow rolls to every corner of the quiet room, taking away all impurities and foreign air.

Only then did Meng Zhou close his eyes.

In his mind, the life mark of the quasi-third-order mysterious turtle has been perfectly integrated with the newly hatched mysterious turtle.

It must be high and high, and it must be true and real.

What's even better is that Meng Zhou once practiced the two martial arts skills of Turtle Snake Strength and Turtle Breath, and now they have become innate and have become some kind of innate endowment of this body.

When practicing Qi, he weaved a first-grade, top-grade tortoise-shell wood spirit shield.

After establishing the foundation, he made a second-level low-grade Black Turtle Spirit Puppet.

I had not combed it carefully before, but now, after combing it slowly, I suddenly discovered that I had unknowingly formed such a deep bond with the Xuanling Turtle.

Previously, before he had taken the Xuanling tortoise shell, Meng Zhou had been upset many times because he had missed the second-class magic weapon made from the flowing cloud whale.

He had even conceived many times in his mind what the body-refining method created with Liuyun Whale as the core would look like.

At this moment, Meng Zhou had to admit that he was never too late for a good meal. This Xuanling Turtle was obviously more in tune with him and more "down to earth".

At this moment, Meng Zhou's magic power had completely shrunk, dormant in his Dantian, and his spiritual consciousness was completely restrained in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Only Qi and blood flow throughout the body.

Like a surging river, it flows over and over again.

From the skin, blood vessels, muscles and bones, to the organs and bone marrow, to the spine, cervical vertebrae, head, and the entire brain.

The whole body is transparent, there is no place that Qi and blood cannot reach!

His breathing was long and long, as if it was there and not at all.

The pores and skin all over the body seemed to come alive, breathing slowly.

"The Xuanling Turtle is good at defense, and the rest are mediocre.

But, this is just an appearance.

Its real core lies in storing and nourishing. "

"Hide deep and rest."

"Most of the body-training methods involve movement, and some even require the assistance of external objects. For example, I once practiced the Cang Xiong horizontal training method and the White Bear Han Ji body training method."

"With the Xuanling Turtle as the core, we can find a path that relies entirely on static skills to gain the true meaning of body training."

"..."

All kinds of insights emerge in the mind, and the second-level qi and blood gradually coordinate with breathing, blood flow, muscles, bones, skin, and flesh and blood all over the body, adjusting to a new and common frequency.

Finally, Meng Zhou felt that the energy and blood in his body began to slowly increase again.

[Exercise method: Level 2 black turtle body training method 1/300]

The self-created second-level body training method was included in the information, but Meng Zhou did not feel happy, but was a little embarrassed and angry.

It can be seen from the level of difficulty alone that it is far inferior to the "fake version" of the second-level Spring Water Sutra that was once certified by plug-ins, not to mention the current Spring Water Sutra and the Soul Refining Method.

"It must be that I don't know enough about the Xuanling Turtle. Well, the time is still too short. As my understanding of the Xuanling Turtle continues to deepen, this body training method will definitely continue to evolve!"

Meng Zhou comforted himself in this way.

However, he temporarily stopped practicing the Black Turtle Body Training Technique and started practicing three spells again to relieve his somewhat tense state of mind.

The Flying Escape Technique is approaching the stage where a master can advance to become a Grandmaster. Meng Yiyi worked hard to achieve a breakthrough in the Flying Escape Technique.

While experiencing the various changes brought about by the master-level flying escape technique, Meng Zhou began to think about another question.

When practicing Qi, he spends about four to five hours a day on the basic technique, Water Nourishing and Moisturizing Technique. Although as the level of the technique increases, the number of times he can practice it every day gradually increases.

But at the same time, he became more and more familiar with the weekly transfer of mana, becoming more and more efficient, and the unit time of each week of practice was shortening.

Therefore, the overall duration of daily practice has not changed significantly.

On the other hand, he also needs three to five hours of deep sleep to relieve the stress accumulated on his body and mind from daily high-intensity practice.

The time spent learning and mastering other spells, practicing repeatedly and accumulating experience can be up to fourteen or five hours.

Of course, most of the time, his schedule is not so tight. He eats, recovers his energy, and spends some time every day brewing a pot of spiritual tea to recuperate his body and mind.

The time arrangement is both compact and relaxed.

For a period of time, he also focused on the training of Baixiong Hanji Body, but compared to the entire Qi training stage, this time was relatively short.

Now, after the foundation is established, it will take nearly six hours every day to move the fifty great celestial beings, breathe out the spiritual energy, and refine the mana.

The soul refining method needs to be practiced to the daily limit, and the time required is no less than that of the cultivation method.

Now, a new body-refining method has been added.

The advantages of the Xuangui body-training method are obvious. You can achieve continuous deepening and improvement of body-training by relying solely on static exercises.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, slowness.

Meng Zhou judged that to maximize the effect of body training, it would take no less than six hours a day.

In this way, after practicing the three fundamental methods involving essence, qi, and spirit every day, he basically didn't have much time to do anything else.

Although after establishing the foundation, he can completely feed on spiritual energy and does not need to think about eating and drinking anymore.

After practicing the soul refining method, there is no need for deep sleep at all.

But even so, despite all his efforts, he could only devote at most five or six hours a day to other fields.

"No wonder the higher the level of practitioners, the more they like to stay in seclusion for a long time. A single retreat can often last for many years."

"The higher you stand, the wider you see, and the more areas you take care of, I'm really overwhelmed!"

Meng Zhou could only lament that every gain must come with a loss. For this reason, it was impossible for him to reduce the time he spent on the three fundamental methods every day.

Use less time in other areas.

night.

Meng Zhou sat cross-legged on the white jade couch and began to practice the Spring Water Sutra.

But he had just grown up, and the magic power of the Spring Water Meridian, which should have been flowing in the Dantian of the meridians in a regular manner, had naturally flowed out of the meridians and entered the muscles, bones and body, which was supposed to be the area governed by Qi and blood.

Driven by the magic power of the Spring Water Meridian, Qi and blood also began to follow the rhythm of the Black Turtle Body Refining Method and fully respond to it in the body.

Then, these two forces flowed into the sea of ​​consciousness one after another.

Soon, they flowed out of the sea of ​​consciousness again, and they were chased by the power of divine consciousness.

And within the sea of ​​consciousness, in the pool of souls, a bright moon shines brightly.

For the first time, Meng Zhou was in an unintentional state, completely standing on the sidelines, watching a bright moon rise in the soul pond.

Soul Pool Refining Moon Heart.

It was not initiated by him, but was triggered naturally between the three-pole circulation system.

Meng Zhou realized for the first time that as the master of this body, he did not need to do everything himself.

Cultivation can also become as natural as breathing and blood flowing.

He stood from a more distant and onlooker perspective, watching the three methods involving essence, qi, and spirit being driven together within the framework of the three-pole cycle.

They become each other's help and support.

Mana, blood, consciousness, they are all growing slowly.

Meng Zhou was delighted with this change. This was an unexpected surprise given to him by the three-pole cycle.

"Does this mean that I can complete the practice of three fundamental methods at the same time?

The problems that bothered me before are no longer problems.

I don’t need to devote most of my day to practicing the fundamental method.

You only need to invest six or seven hours a day, and the cultivation of energy, energy, and spirit can be completed at the same time, taking into account everything?"

But gradually, Meng Zhou suddenly realized that he still thought simply.

The three-pole cycle he created unintentionally was far more magical than he thought.

After the magic power circulated in the meridian dantian for fifty days, he did not feel the limit.

His consciousness and body, which should also have warned him that he had reached the limit of this practice, were also indifferent.

Meng Zhou was worried at first that this was because the body's early warning mechanism had failed. If this was true, it would not be a good thing.

The next moment, he might really explode himself in cultivation.

But as he understood it carefully, he gradually realized the difference.

As practice continues, the negative energy that should have accumulated in the body, Dantian, sea of ​​consciousness, etc. until it reaches a certain threshold is also brought into such a circulation system.

Therefore, although his practice continued, his physical and mental state was always as clean and clear as when he first started practicing.

In fact, every promotion of the Water Nourishing and Moisturizing Technique in the past, including the current Chun Shui Jing, will bring similar effects to the body.

The negative energy accumulated in the body is cleared, allowing you to practice for a longer period of time.

"I can't just continue practicing like this, right?"

Soon, Meng Zhou knew that he had indeed thought too much.

Those negative energies have not accumulated in the body, but they have not disappeared either.

As he practices, it continues to emerge.

Meng Zhou once thought about this issue, and negative energy was also a name he gave according to his own habits.

Just like the body will accumulate a lot of lactic acid after strenuous activities, and you will feel tired and empty after intense thinking activities. The meridians and Dantian refine a large amount of spiritual energy into your own magic power. Naturally, it cannot be without cost. Negative energy is these. A general term for price.

In the circulation of these three poles, as the practice continued, more and more negative energy came from the meridians and Dantian, the body and bones, and the sea of ​​consciousness, and Meng Zhou could grasp its existence more and more clearly.

If the mana, blood, and spiritual consciousness flowing between the three poles are regarded as clear water, then these negative energies are sand that is circulated and circulated by the clear water.

As more and more sediment accumulates, it will eventually affect the tripolar cycle itself.

Meng Zhou gradually felt the pressure.

Finally, at a certain moment, as if they had made an appointment together, the practice of all three methods stopped.

However, the flow of mana, energy, blood, and consciousness between the three poles has not stopped, and is still spinning slowly.

Negative energy also begins to slowly release outward through the body's muscles and bones, meridians and Dantian, and the sea of ​​consciousness.

That taste is so sour and refreshing.

Meng Zhou felt that every cell in his body was trembling, his meridians, Dantian, and even the sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows were trembling.

It's like a high-speed, overloaded machine is dissipating heat in every possible place.

This kind of experience is definitely not comfortable, but it is so enjoyable. How can it be?

Meng Zhou felt unusually excited in his body and even in his spirit.

At this moment, he just wants to squander.

Squandering the mana that seems to be overflowing in the body, squandering the surging energy and blood, and the eager and restless consciousness in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Meng Zhou jumped off the white jade couch and strode out of the quiet room.

As soon as I left the room, I saw Zhang Xiaoyi looking "sneaky" in the courtyard.

When she saw Meng Zhou coming out, she was startled and seemed to turn around to avoid him.

Meng Zhou shouted: "Girl, what are you spying on?"

Zhang Xiaoyi, who was drunk, did not dare to run away anymore, turned around and faced him, and said timidly:

"Senior, I saw you wouldn't come out for a few days, so I was a little worried about you."

"How many days?" Meng Zhou was shocked.

He quickly asked: "What day does it fall today?"

Zhang Xiaoyi said: "Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."

"The fourth day of June?" Meng Zhouyou was worried and asked again to confirm.

Zhang Xiaoyi looked at Meng Zhou with strange eyes, but still nodded and said seriously: "Yes, the fourth day of June."

Meng Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

I looked up at the sky, carefully thought about the time for the formal practice on the first night of the first year of junior high school, and then made a rough judgment in my mind.

“Two and a half days.

This time, I practiced non-stop for two and a half days. "

Realizing this, Meng Zhou opened his personal information and finally knew what he had gained from this practice.

Second-level Spring Water Sutra +500 experience, Dacheng 1400/8000

Soul Pool Refining Moon Heart +400 experience, initial achievement 920/2000

Black turtle body training method +200 experience, entry level 200/300.

The experience gained from one practice is ten times that of the previous practice.

The progress of cultivation that concerned Meng Zhou the most was also ten times that of the previous day's cultivation.

Progress +200.

The cultivation level suddenly increased from "603/1000 at the first level of foundation building" before practicing on the first night of practice to "803/1000".

Meng Zhou carefully felt the process of slowly releasing the negative energy accumulated in his body.

He gradually understood everything in his heart.

"In the past, it wasn't that I didn't want to practice for longer, but I was limited by my negative energy and could only practice for so long in a day."

“Now, with the completion of the second-level body training method, the three major frameworks have become more deeply involved in my practice.

My tolerance for negative energy has greatly improved.

What I gain from one practice now is equivalent to ten days of practice in the past.

Due to the accumulation of too much negative energy in the body, it will take longer to recover.

The next time I will practice formally will have to wait until after the tenth day of the lunar month. "

“In the past, my practice was based on heaven.

Every day is a complete cultivation process.

Now it is a cycle every ten days. "

“In terms of experience gains and improvement in cultivation progress, there seems to be no change.

But the impact on me is still fundamental.

Everything I do must be adjusted for this.

Time arrangements can also be more free and flexible. "

“The over-limit accumulation of negative energy in this way is not just the effect of the tripolar cycle itself.

There is also the characteristic of "the sea is open to all rivers and inclusive of all things", which is silently playing a role.

The core of the three-pole framework is the four properties of water, plus "the highest good, the highest virtue, the weak and the weak". They are the lowest rules of this system.

Compared with this one, the other four are more obvious.

But in fact, this gender plays no less role in the entire system than the other four genders.

It is even the key to supporting the entire system as a whole! "

Now, the more intuitive impact of this change is that he can spend more time on other aspects.

In a cultivation cycle, the time spent cultivating the fundamental method only accounts for a quarter of the whole.

The other three-quarters of the time can be used more intensively elsewhere.

After sorting it out carefully, Meng Zhou continued to practice the stealth, shape-shifting and flying escape techniques according to the original plan.

The difference from the past was that even at night, when he should have stopped all other activities, started to regulate his physical and mental state, and prepared for formal practice, he still had no intention of stopping, but the location was changed from the courtyard to a smaller indoor space.

“It’s still that the current level of cultivation is too low, the magic power is not enough, and I can’t use too many spells at the same time.

When your cultivation is further advanced in the future, you can make more attempts. "

And this, it seems, is already within reach.

Meng Zhou was immersed in the satisfaction brought by the rapid increase in experience in various spells.

A few days passed by in a flash.

…

The seventh day of the lunar month, morning.

Meng Zhou suddenly stopped practicing and walked to the door of Zhang's courtyard with a frown.

Zhang Xiaoyi was standing on the steps at the gate of her small courtyard at the moment, and in the alleyway under the steps, stood a slim and beautiful beauty.

She, who was clearly a foundation-building practitioner, looked at Zhang Xiaoyi at the door with a flattering smile on her face.

"Little sister, tell me, is there a Senior Meng living here?"

She also held a medium-grade spiritual stone in her hand, bent slightly, and said with a beautiful temptation: "Can you tell me? As long as you tell me, it will be yours."

Zhang Xiaoyi looked at the middle-grade spiritual stone in front of her with greedy eyes, but she stubbornly pursed her lips, straightened her small body, and glared at the woman in front of her.

"What are you doing here?"

At this moment, a voice sounded behind her.

Zhang Xiaoyi, as if she had seen a savior, quickly stepped aside from the main entrance of the courtyard and walked around behind Meng Zhou.

He muttered: "Senior, she is asking about you, but I didn't say a word."

"..."

Meng Zhou rubbed the little girl's head and let her play.

But his eyes were always fixed on the woman standing at the foot of the steps.

This woman is none other than Xu Wanzhen.

Xu Wanzhen took two steps forward, gave a gentle salute, and said: "It is my fault to disturb Master Meng's Qingxiu..."

Speaking of this, she caught a glimpse of the other person's expression not softening at all, and even becoming a bit colder.

"In such a big Qinglinfang, the fairy can't find anyone to give guidance? Why bother with me?"

Xu Wanzhen smiled bitterly in her heart, they dare to say it, but I dare to believe it.

What if someone takes you into a ditch?

What's more, the thing she had the most trouble with was the soul refining method, and before they obtained this inheritance that day, they all swore a Taoist oath.

Therefore, except for some general doubts, she did not dare to ask those questions involving specific practice.

But the person in front of him is different. He and he chose the same soul refining method, so the Dao Heart Oath is naturally invalid for them. They can discuss this soul refining method in depth at will.

Finally, her heart changed, she put down her little reserve, and went straight to prostrate herself.

"I sincerely ask Master Meng for advice, and it won't take you too long.

If Master Meng can take the time to teach me something, I will be at my mercy! "

With that said, she bowed down directly.

I don't know whether it was intentional or accidental. When she bowed down and said "Let me be driven", her slender waist seemed to be particularly soft, and her back hips were raised high, perfectly showing the curves of her waist and hips. In the eyes of men.

When he bowed down, he deliberately and accidentally swayed his hips slightly.

To other female foundation-building cultivators, this is a gesture that is extremely shameful and will never be shown even if they die.

But she just bowed down without any psychological burden.

But what he got in exchange was just a faint response: "Fellow Taoist Qingwan, please come back."

She was shocked, and suddenly looked up, and what she saw was that the door of the small courtyard was slammed shut in front of her, and the figure behind the door was also isolated from sight as the door closed.

…

Within the small courtyard.

Through the moon mirror, it was confirmed that Xu Wanzhen had left.

Only then did Meng Zhou call out Bai Ya from the sea of ​​consciousness.

The rope spirit that originally looked a little bloated due to overeating became slender again.

"Yaya, what happened to you just now?" Meng Zhou asked.

Just now, Rope Spirit, who had been quietly staying in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, behaved a little strangely.

"What...what's going on?"

Bai Ya seemed to have just woken up again and was a little confused.

Meng Zhou asked, "Are you dreaming again?"

"Ah? Uncle, how do you know?...Yes, yes, I dreamed again, and I dreamed of delicious food again!"

Meng Zhou nodded, already roughly knowing what was going on.

It should be the strange aura of the god that remained on Xu Wanzhen's body, which was once again captured by the keen rope spirit.

The last time Rope Spirit reacted, it was Xu Wanzhen who took the initiative to contact him and stretched out her hand to cause trouble in his palm.

But this time, Bai Ya has successfully advanced from the first level to the second level, and has basically digested the income from the last "gluttony" recently.

Therefore, without any contact this time, she had an instinctive reaction to Xu Wanzhen who was so close.

At that time, the reason why he shut Xu Wanzhen out so simply was because he didn't like her way of doing things.

On the other hand, he also wanted to understand the reason for Bai Ya's abnormal reaction in the sea of ​​consciousness immediately.

Now, Meng Zhou can basically confirm that "Mama Yun" was destroyed that day. Xu Wanzhen used the cover of Qingxuan inner sect Jinghao to do some tricks and swallowed up a lot of "Mama Yun's" savings.

Among them, including the weird three statues.

And with such a sensitive thing, she would most likely not carry it with her.

After all, she is also a well-known social butterfly in Qinglinfang. She attracts a lot of attention wherever she goes, and she often appears in places like Hexin Tower where fake elixirs and even powerful elixir-forming people often appear.

Carrying such a sensitive thing with you is not digging a hole for yourself.

On the other hand, this thing cannot be hidden too secretly. It should be somewhere she can often access.

Meng Zhou turned his head and looked in one direction. In that direction, there was a courtyard called Qingwan Courtyard.

"So courageous?!" Meng Zhou was amazed.

"However, it may be that we can't find a more suitable way to deal with it for a while?"

Meng Zhou shook his head and continued practicing the three spells.

During a break in the quiet room to regain his breath, Meng Zhou called Bai Ya out again.

"Yaya, have you gained any new abilities with this promotion?"

Bai Ya coiled herself into a circle like a snake, with one end of the rope standing straight upright. After listening to his question, she swayed from side to side, as if thinking.

The next moment, Bai Ya, the rope spirit, disappeared and turned into a turtle-shell wood spirit shield in Meng Zhou's field of vision.

In another blink of an eye, the turtle-shell wood spirit shield disappeared, replaced by a python whip.

Immediately afterwards, it turned into a lifelike white bear. It also opened its mouth and asked in a muffled voice with a harsh voice like scraping sand:

"Uncle, is this what you are talking about?"

Meng Zhou quickly said: "Yaya, you'd better talk to me directly, don't go through this puppet."

Although he was slightly annoyed, overall, Meng Zhou was still very happy.

My idea actually came true.

The true form of the skills invested in Yaya's body really completed the talent transformation when it advanced, becoming the unique talent of her rope.

What’s even more amazing is that the true forms of these skills were originally only first-level skills.

Even though he was cultivated to perfection by Meng Zhou and had power comparable to the first level, he was still at a level beyond the first level.

But now, with the innate skills, the Rope Spirit's body has already reached the second-level low-grade level.

Therefore, whether it is the two magic weapons or the white bear puppet she transformed into in an instant, they all have the quality of second-level low-grade ones.

Yaya seemed to feel that the quiet room was too small, and it was too cramped to be transformed into a giant bear. With another bang, it turned into a second-grade clean futon.

It is suitable for Meng Zhou to use now.

But Meng Zhou was not satisfied with this and continued to make new demands: "Yaya, can you create the spirit gathering talisman array?"

"Of course."

Echoing Meng Zhou's question in her heart, Yaya, who was still a clean futon a moment ago, suddenly changed.

It turned into a string of spirit-gathering talisman arrays. Dozens of spirit-gathering talisman arrays were strung on a rope, like a garlic braid.

Then, the spirit-gathering talisman array changed at her will, sometimes turning into the earth power talisman array, and now turning into the confinement talisman array...

Moreover, these talisman formations also have the quality of second-order low-grade ones.

If he had mastered this skill when he was in retreat at Hexin Building that day, he wouldn't have to do it himself. With just one thought, the forty-nine spirit-gathering talisman arrays and the forty-eight shielding talisman arrays could be completed immediately, without him needing to weave them one by one manually.

However, Meng Zhou shook his head and said:

"Yaya, you misunderstood. What I meant was that on the premise that you remain a pure futon, you can use the changes in the spirit gathering talisman array at the same time.

For another example, when you transform into a turtle-shell wood spirit shield, you attach a defensive talisman array to it.

Or when you become a Cang Bear puppet, you can also give the earth power talisman array the natural ability of this puppet. "

Meng Zhou paused and continued:

“Of course, this is still a bit superficial from my final vision.

My real expectation is that you can only use the essence of each of them, without completely imitating their appearance, and flexibly change the most appropriate use effect according to actual needs.

For example, only part of the divine will of the python whip is taken, and the confinement talisman array and the earth power talisman array are attached to it to form a brand new whip-shaped magic weapon. "

After fully expressing his intention, Meng Zhou waited expectantly.

But for a long time, Yaya remained silent.

"Yaya, what's wrong?" Meng Zhou asked.

"Uncle, you have too many requests." Yaya said helplessly.

"Ah? Can't do it?" Meng Zhou said a little disappointed.

Yaya replied confidently:

"Of course I can't do it!

I am only a second-level low-level person now, how can I have such great powers? "

Meng Zhou looked shocked and said hurriedly: "You mean, you just can't do it for the time being, and you will be able to do it when your strength improves?"

After getting Yaya's affirmative answer, Meng Zhou took her into the sea of ​​consciousness, sat there and thought for a while, then got up again and continued to practice magic.

…

When the mana in his body was once again squandered, Meng Zhou returned to the quiet room again to adjust his breathing.

When the recuperation is complete, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year is completely over and a new day has begun.

From this time on, Meng Zhou did not continue to struggle with the three spells of Stealth, Transformation, and Flying Escape. Instead, he successfully learned two second-level mid-level spells, Transformation and Wall Penetration.

He decided that in the future, he would focus on chemical transformation, wall penetration and armor shield techniques.

The reason why I did not continue to struggle with Stealth, Transformation and Flying Escape is because these three spells are now at a very high level. I am a master of Stealth, and the other two are all Grandmasters.

In this field, it is enough to gain a crushing advantage over most other foundation-building monks.

Another more important reason is of course that taking them to the next level requires too much experience and takes a long time.

The change in Xu Wanzhen's attitude towards herself made Meng Zhou keenly aware that after he was promoted to Foundation Establishment, in order to obtain some necessary resources and opportunities, his identity as "Mengzhuang" had unknowingly revealed many extraordinary qualities. .

As time goes by, more and more people will realize that "Mengzhuang" is extraordinary.

"Mengzhuang" will receive more and more overt and covert attention.

From this perspective, he should thank Xu Wanzhen.

In this regard, she has a keenness and sense of smell that surpasses others, so she confirmed this before others.

And used a very special way to remind him.

Therefore, it is time for "Mengzhuang" to disappear.

In this last moment, he naturally had to seize the time to master a few more spells.

The first few days of learning a new spell are the times when you will improve most quickly.

Within a day or two, there will be a huge improvement.

He is now able to devote twenty-four hours a day to practicing magic. Compared with before, the experience gained every day has doubled.

Just the eighth day of the lunar month.

The experience of transforming objects is +440, the experience of penetrating through walls is +300, and the experience of armor and shield is +360. One day, one can cross the entry level and advance to the first level.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, continue to accumulate.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, three spells were promoted to Xiaocheng.

At night, when he was regulating his energy again, Meng Zhou felt it carefully and found that the negative energy accumulated in his body during the last practice had been almost released.

Soon, he will be able to start his next formal practice.

Thinking of the changes that his next practice would bring to him, Meng Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

"This day came faster than I expected."

It can only be said that due to the superposition of various factors, in the early stage of foundation building, it was really just a piece of cake for him.

At this moment, Zhang Wei, who was returning home from get off work, suddenly visited again.

Meng Zhou welcomed him into the house, curious about his purpose.

The two of them were already very familiar with each other, so Zhang Wei did not greet him politely and went straight to the topic.

"Senior, I heard something at Hexin Building today.

I think this matter may be relevant to you, so I will let you know in advance. "

Meng Zhou looked shocked and immediately asked seriously: "What's the matter?"

"In a few days, several young ancestors came to Hexin Tower..."

"Little ancestor?" Meng Zhou was confused.

Zhang Wei quickly explained:

"They, like my little girl, are all inner disciples of Qingxuan Sect.

However, their background is much higher than that of the little girl. It is said that behind them, the worst one also has a grandfather who is in the middle stage of foundation building and serves in the Deacon Hall. "

Having said this, he leaned forward, as if he was about to say something confidential, and kept his voice extremely low in the room isolated by the second-level formation.

“Although my little girl’s talent is not very good, at least her ambition is not bad.

But they are different. Not only are their talents average, but their aspirations are also average, and they don't put much thought into cultivation.

The reason why it can become an inner sect is actually because the family used various precious resources to pile it up.

No matter what magic weapon they have, there is no quality lower than the first-level top quality! "

Having said this, Zhang Wei showed some dissatisfaction on his face.

It stands to reason that at his age and in a place like Hexin Building, his mentality cannot be so fragile and shallow.

If something like this happened to him, he would probably be able to swallow it with the blood without changing his expression.

But this matter is not related to him, but to his daughter.

Therefore, his dissatisfaction was mostly due to his daughter.

Thoughts were racing in Meng Zhou's mind, but he asked softly: "What does this have to do with me?"

Zhang Weidao:

“After they arrived at Hexin Building, they went straight to see the owner and left not long after.

Their purpose is the special Peiyuan Pill you provided to Hexinlou last time.

The special Yuan Yuan Pills you provided to Hexinlou last time were basically used by their group. They should be almost used now. I want to ask Hexinlou for more.

In order to get this elixir, they even promised to double the price based on the last time! "

Meng Zhou's heart skipped a beat and he immediately asked, "What does the poster mean?"

He thought to himself, should he run away with the bucket now?

Although this thing seems harmless to him, he can even earn a lot of spiritual stones.

But his biggest taboo is that he cannot be exposed to the attention of beings like Qingxuanzong now.

What's more, becoming a "Queen Alchemist" is not his pursuit.

Zhang Weidao:

"The host said that he is busy preparing for the next auction right now. Because there are many monks from the outside world, she has to make decisions on many things personally, so she can't get away right now.

But she also promised them that she would personally look into the matter after the auction on the 15th. "

Hearing what Zhang Wei said, Meng Zhou's heart suddenly calmed down a little.

He didn't just listen to Zhang Wei's judgment, he also made some calculations in his mind.

What he can be sure of is that Qingxuan Sect's move to introduce monks from outside the realm through the Hexin Tower auction is by no means simply to earn some spiritual stone resources from them.

There must be a bigger plot, which is likely to be related to Qingxuanzong's longer-term strategy.

Qingxuanzong did not come forward directly, but Hexinlou was responsible for the matter.

For Host Hexin, there is nothing bigger than this right now.

Her status is no lower than the backers behind these "Fairy N Generations". Although their unanimous requests can make her pay attention, she will never neglect the real top priority for them at this time!

This is for sure!

With all these thoughts running through his mind, he looked at Zhang Wei beside him and asked curiously: "How do you know so clearly?"

Zhang Wei smiled awkwardly: "I have been in Hexin Building for so many years, so I naturally have some channels. I also thought that they and my daughter are both from the inner sect, so I paid more attention to them."

Meng Zhou understood and solemnly thanked Zhang Wei:

"Lao Zhang, no matter what, I want to thank you for this!"

With that said, he placed ten middle-grade spiritual stones in Zhang Wei's hand.

Zhang Wei, on the other hand, seemed to have been stung by a poisonous snake. He suddenly stopped his hand and shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, I'm just reminding you about this. Even if the people in the building know about it, it won't be a big deal.

But if I accept this spiritual stone, its properties will be completely different. No, no, I can’t have this spiritual stone! "

Meng Zhou didn't allow him to refuse, so he forced it into his hand and said, "You know this and I know it. How can anyone in the building know about it?"

Finally, he patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Zhang, you are very well informed in Hexin Building. If there is anything else about me in the future, please let me know in advance so that I can be prepared." Grateful!"

Zhang Wei sighed, but nodded heavily.

…

Quiet room.

Meng Zhou sat cross-legged on the white jade couch, expelling all distracting thoughts, and his magic power began to slowly move along the path of the Great Zhoutian.

As for his self-consciousness, he got out of the outside little by little and watched the mana, qi, blood, and consciousness in his body flow through the three poles of essence, energy, and spirit.

When he entered this state, in his mind, the meridians and Dantian, the body's muscles and bones, and the sea of ​​consciousness, as well as the three powers flowing in these three poles, seemed to have turned into a unique world.

He is like the "Dao Heart" and "Heavenly Dao" in the world, and everything else is empty.

The length of time is blurred.

It was as if at the next moment, he felt a small transformation and improvement in his energy and blood.

He knew that this was the experience accumulation of the Black Turtle Body Refining Technique that had completed the introductory stage and advanced to the initial stage of success.

However, this change did not affect the three-polar circulation in the body.

But not long after the change in qi and blood, but it seemed like a long time had passed, the mana in the body also changed.

Meng Zhou knew that his cultivation had taken a small step forward.

Building one layer of foundation is a thing of the past.

Now he is a veritable second-level foundation-building monk.

"Realm: 2/1000 on the second floor of foundation building"

This was the state when Meng Zhou finished his training completely and woke up with his eyes open.

"Life span: 52/361 years" (+10 years)

For other foundation-building monks, as their cultivation level increases, their upper limit of life will also increase.

But it will never be as exaggerated as him. It just improves a small level and increases the upper limit of life by ten years.

This is also a major feature of Chun Shui Jing. The biggest selling point of this practice is this. It can prolong life better than other practices.

Not only has the lifespan been increased, but the status has also been significantly changed.

The status information has always puzzled Meng Zhou the most. He feels it is a bit redundant. This is probably related to the fact that he is too patient and has never been seriously injured or weak.

But at this moment, he stared at this new change for a long time without saying a word.

After a long time, Meng Zhou sighed.

"Yes, I am no longer a bad old man who is over fifty and can't afford to miss him.

Now I am a young man with so much firepower that I can only imagine a hole in my head! "

Once upon a time, this self-awareness guarded him like a dam.

But now, as the life span increases again, the dam created by self-awareness can no longer compete with the primitive instinct of life.

Quite unprovoked, Meng Zhou once again thought of Xu Wanzhen's posture lying at the foot of the steps a few days ago.

At that time, with the detachment of seeing thousands of sails, he whispered in his heart: "That's it?!"

At this moment, the thoughts replayed over and over again uncontrollably.

For a moment, Meng Zhou had this thought in his mind: Should he use some of the methods in the cold pool and cold moon diagram to directly block and kill this life impulse from the physical level?

But just for a moment, he shook his head and threw this thought out of the sky.

He practiced hard to achieve immortality and freedom.

It's not about turning yourself into a celestial eunuch.

And, it’s not a big deal.

"Then contribute to the prosperity of Qinglinfang's Goulan." Meng Zhou stood up and strode out of the quiet room.

And just as he took a few steps out of the quiet room, the aura on the second floor of the Foundation Establishment quickly dropped and converged, becoming the same state as when he had just entered the Foundation Establishment.

After being gifted with many skills related to breath control, such as Breath Condensation, Bone Shrinking and Disguise, and Turtle Breath, they became a kind of innate instinct of the incomplete spirit body, which allowed him to control his own breath flexibly.

Just after leaving the quiet room, Meng Zhou's expression suddenly became strange before he left the room.

Meng Zhou opened the second-level formation that isolated the inside and outside, and looked at Xu Wanzhen, who was dressed in plain clothes outside the gate. Both her clothes and her expression were completely different from the last time.

She looked clean and elegant, but also a little haggard.

When she saw Meng Zhou coming out, she didn't say anything and just bowed down.

This time, she didn't show off deliberately, and she worshiped in a polite and sincere manner.

Meng Zhou didn't ask her coldly how long she had been peeping in front of his door. Instead, he stared at her haggard expression carefully and asked:

"How did you become such a ghost?"

As a pharmacist, it is instinctive to use the ability of consultation and examination at the first sight of a person.

Therefore, he could tell at a glance how bad the state of the man in front of him was.

Xu Wanzhen said with shame: "In order to enter the Cold Pool and Cold Moon Map as soon as possible, I used some other secret methods. The effect was very good at first, but soon... I suffered the consequences.

I don’t want to stalk you, because among the people I can come into contact with, only Master Meng has practiced the same soul refining method as me! "

Having said this, she bowed again.

She spoke vaguely, but Meng Zhou already basically knew the origin of her so-called secret method. There was a 99% chance that it was some evil secret method related to the soul in the Sutra of Li Hen.

He couldn't help but think to himself that this was a smooth journey before, and he could "pass with high scores" by relying on calculations.

She looks humble, and her behavior is even looked down upon by many people, but the hidden tail in her heart may have been raised high.

But in terms of practice, just do what you should do.

But she was used to everything going smoothly, but she tried to take this shortcut.

This is really... seeking death!

but……

Meng Zhou stared at her and said, "Okay."

Xu Wanzhen, who had her head on the ground, looked up at him in surprise.

His easy agreement, just like his understatement of rejection last time, caught her off guard as she was unprepared.

Meng Zhou paid no attention to her, but looked at the little girl in the far corner who was secretly looking over.

"Zhang Xiaoyi, you are peeping again!"

"No no!"

Zhang Xiaoyi turned around and ran away.

"return."

Meng Zhou shouted softly and asked her to turn around obediently.

Meng Zhou said to her: "If your father is looking for me, tell him that I am going out to meet friends these days and will be away for a few days. If you have anything to do, wait until I come back."

"Oh." Zhang Xiaoyi agreed obediently.

"Repeat it." Meng Zhou was worried that he would be perfunctory.

Zhang Xiaoyi repeated it obediently.

Meng Zhou nodded with satisfaction, turned towards Xu Wanzhen, and whispered a few words softly.

Xu Wanzhen quickly stood up from the ground, followed Meng Zhou in small steps, and the two of them left the Zhang family courtyard together.

Zhang Xiaoyi watched the two people walking away for a long time, until she was sure that the two of them would never turn back again, then she spat softly and muttered: "When you go out to meet friends, you really treat me like a child!"

Please vote for the first month of the month and work hard to achieve the two goals for next month. Please also support me.

Let’s talk about the considerations for the last plot. The author is way past the age where a young boy can have wild dreams. The reason why he focuses on this aspect is a very simple reason. The protagonist cannot really become a heavenly eunuch. Female sex is a topic that cannot be avoided. For For practitioners, this should not be a topic that is discussed with disdain or avoided.

I just don’t know if such a “vulgar” treatment might offend some readers, so please comment.
