Shrouding the sky: Slashing the world of mortals with a sword, becoming the strongest empress

Chapter 14

Four years are both short and long.

The herring bites the water lily, and the willow branches spread out.

Every night of listening to lectures at Kuhaiya, Nan Xiao still remembers them vividly.

Perhaps because of Zhu Tai and Liang Bo's love for Nan Xiao, Bao Fei, Lin Feng and others have scruples in their hearts and dare not openly make things difficult.

As for their malicious smiles and contempt, Nan Xiao, who had been blindfolded since childhood, had long been accustomed to them, and only regarded those people as facial muscle disorders and sudden eye diseases.

So Nan Xiao lived a very stable life for the past four years.

There is no never-ending banquet in the world.

After Zhutai and Liang Bo return home, Nanxiao's peaceful life is coming to an end.

Nan Xiao didn't feel afraid, but just felt a little troublesome.

Putting away the dagger and hairpin, Nan Xiao locked the door of the house.

In the future, this place will be redistributed, and maybe there will be immortal couples living again.

It's just that those things have nothing to do with Nan Xiao.

Taking one last look, Nan Xiao took the bamboo tube and left.

Later, on the bitter sea cliff, the goldfish disappeared, and the waves stopped forever.

Nan Xiao didn't follow the steps, but went back and forth between Mingquan and Shenqiaoya to listen to the mysterious method.

Some trivial matters such as planting gardens, refining medicine and cooking have been hired to take care of them.

Nan Xiao sits in the bamboo hut every day, devoting herself to practice without distraction.

Chen Zhuo, who was freed by the jade pendant, would send over some ancient books from time to time, and sometimes he would even sit on the bamboo chair outside the house for a whole day, leisurely admiring the lotus, tasting tea, and listening to the spring and stone.

The vegetation is fresh, the wind and the sun are pleasant.

The stream diverges from the clear springs in the mountains, along the ditches, and falls all the way into the square pond behind the house, lingering with the fish in the pond.

On weekdays, Nan Xiao sat cross-legged on the futon, closed her eyes and raised her breath.

When she is mentally exhausted, Nan Xiao will quietly flip through various old books and picture albums.

Reading can calm her down and make her more wise and wise.

At first glance, the vicissitudes of history, the mysterious formations, the profound dao lines, the obscure refining of medicines,...

But most of the time, Nan Xiao just wants to broaden her horizons and doesn't seek deep understanding, so the book changes very quickly.

There are three rooms, one for living, one for medicinal herbs and pills, and the last one is gradually filled with books.

Bai Yuncanggou, five years in a blink of an eye.

Nan Xiao is 16 years old.

Although she hasn't opened up the sea of ​​bitterness yet, after nine years of hard work and the assistance of Dan Wan, Nan Xiao has already been reborn.

Nan Xiao, who was originally sallow and thin, now has icy skin and smooth skin, graceful and vigorous.

Especially those pair of extremely flamboyant phoenix eyes, which are jet-black and bright, with deep waves of light surging in the eyes.

According to the martial arts secret book, Nan Xiao was full of vitality at this time, and had already stood at the pinnacle of mortal warriors.

If you get rid of the shackles of the physical body, you can make great achievements and achieve the innate realm.

In the world of practice, piercing through the sea of ​​suffering is to open the sky.

Now, Nan Xiao has already planned her future path well, and she has even made up her mind that if she fails, she will die.

Everything is ready, except for the east wind.

This shareholder style is the essence of life.

------------

After nine years of listening to scriptures at Chuan Dao Cliff, Nan Xiao already knew that in the world of practice, life essence is extremely important to a practitioner.

To open and close the sea of ​​suffering, in addition to one's own vitality, one also needs a huge amount of life energy.

Generally speaking, as long as one's physical aptitude is good and one's comprehension of Taoism is excellent, practice is a matter of course, and life essence can greatly shorten this process.

In addition to the method of slowly extracting the essence of heaven and earth in a place with sufficient spiritual veins, it can also be obtained from some rare elixir, panacea, marrow, inner alchemy of monsters, and source stones.

------------

Elixirs are common, and Qingya Paradise itself exists to provide elixir and reindeer for the Yuhua Dynasty.

It's a pity that in the entire Qingya Paradise, only a few people can have the elixir.

Nine years ago, Zilu, who was the seventh elder of Qingya Blessed Land at that time, obtained a leaf of century-old ginseng only after she used her authority and obtained Yaolu's consent.

------------

In the ancient books, the description of the precious marrow is vague, and there are sporadic records of the dragon marrow in the stone, the weak water in the sky, and the spiritual milk of the earth, etc., which seem to belong to this category.

When Master Qingxuan explained the history of the Yuhua God Dynasty, he mentioned that besides the Lunhai secret realm, there are other secret realms.

Lunhai, Dao Palace, Siji, Hualong, Sendai...

Among them, when cultivators are in the secret realm of transforming dragons, they are highly dependent on the marrow.

But more, Master Qingxuan didn't know.

The blessed land of Qingya is in a safe corner, and there are very few people who can be regarded as strong.

Elder Lu once told Chen Zhuo that in the huge Qingya blessed land, there are at most ten practitioners who can achieve the consummation of Lun Hai.

And those few people are mostly Dao Palace cultivators, and the highest is no more than four poles.

------------

As for the panacea, Nan Xiao has never seen it before.

To become a pharmacist who can refine elixir, in addition to solid theoretical knowledge, you also need precious ores, elixir, firewood, and the talent to manipulate flames.

According to Nan Xiao's knowledge, among the thousands of people in the entire Qingya Paradise, there are only a handful of pharmacists who can refine panacea.

Although Nan Xiao has three panacea prescriptions, she does not have the flames to refine the panacea, nor does she have any panacea to extract and refine.

------------

Unlike panacea, inner alchemy is not artificially refined.

After the monsters have practiced for a period of time, the orbs or bones born in their bodies are their inner alchemy.

There are many monsters in the southern wilderness, and the Shu Road where Qingya blessed land is located is adjacent to the south.

Some inner disciples chose to go to the south to kill monsters to complete the sect trials. The inner alchemy obtained from the monsters could be kept for their own use or sold at a high price.

Nan Xiao once saw from a distance that the Master Chuanfa of the Shenqiao Realm on Chuandao Cliff showed them a simple and unpretentious bead.

According to the description of the Shenqiao cultivator, this bead came from a snake demon in the other side realm.

The inner alchemy of the snake demon was bestowed by his master.

At that time, his master had already completed his cultivation in the secret realm of Lunhai, and stood at the critical moment on the other shore, only one step away from entering the secret realm of Dao Palace.

But even the master who had completed the consummation of the sea, it took a day and a night to kill the snake demon in the other side realm.

The preacher who always likes to show off with the inner alchemy of the snake monster from the other side, when talking about the monster race, his tone is very serious.

Without tyrannical weapons, high-level exercises, and the Dao Mark Formation, it would be difficult for a cultivator of the same realm to defeat a demon cultivator unless he is extremely talented.

Therefore, if you go out to practice, even if you encounter a monster whose cultivation is weaker than yourself, you can't take it lightly.

------------

Compared with the previous ones, "source" is even rarer.

According to the records of the ancient books in the ancient times, whenever the avenue reappears and the chaos begins, the original energy between the heaven and the earth is like a torrential flood, submerging the world.

Therefore, every time the tide falls, many small puddles will be left on the shore.

The life essence in these small puddles will gradually solidify with the passage of time, the crystal water surface will become dim, and finally form a special spar.

The inside of the spar is "source", and the outer layer is stone skin.

Heaven and earth are rational, and all things are born together.

The stone skin can not only prevent the loss of essence, but also isolate the prying eyes of ordinary cultivators.

The interior of some stone skins contains a large amount of life essence, which is very special, large in quantity but small in quality, and does not fall due to transpiration.

Once the outer stone skin is opened, it will float in mid-air, releasing dazzling or bright light.

This type of source is called the divine source.

According to legend, some puddles are not empty.

Anything that has a form can be hidden in the source of the gods and last forever.

Jade, vegetation, snakes, insects, scaled fish, birds and beasts, by chance, fell into the stone.

There are even some extremely terrifying beings who have voluntarily lay down in the puddles, dormant for a long time, quietly waiting for the moment when the stone skin breaks open.

At that time, they will see the sun again and rule the world again.

------------

Precious elixir, rare elixir, rare marrow, inner alchemy of monsters, ancient sources of gods...

All of them are extremely precious things, which are really out of reach.

These are not the east wind that Nan Xiao was waiting for.
