My cultivation is too simple

Chapter 15 Life and Death Crisis
Xiaoqing left, riding on a white jade dragon horse.

Watching Xiao Qing's leaving figure, Zhou You's face gradually turned cold.

He looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand uncertainly.

When I opened the porcelain bottle, I saw three cyan elixirs with a light golden line on them. They exuded a strong medicinal fragrance. Just smelling them made me feel refreshed.

"First-order low-grade elixir!"

Zhou You heard about the levels of elixirs from Huang Li.

The elixirs taken during the Qi training period are first-order elixirs. The first-order low-grade elixirs are used from the first to the third level of Qi training, the first-order mid-grade elixirs are used from the fourth to sixth levels, and the first-order high-grade elixirs are used after the sixth level of Qi training.

On the elixir, one line represents a low-grade elixir, two lines represent a middle-grade elixir, and three lines represent a high-grade elixir.

Right now, the elixir in this porcelain bottle is a first-class low-grade pill.

Although it is a first-class low-grade product, it is extremely precious and cannot be possessed by fish servants like them.

Zhou You didn't know what kind of elixir these were, but he could roughly estimate that these three elixirs were worth about fifty spirit stones.

Would a high-ranking young lady reward a fish servant with three such precious pills for his cultivation?

Zhou You remains skeptical.

Therefore, even though he was traveling around, he did not dare to take these three pills easily, so he had to temporarily put the pills away and then go to the lake to continue fishing.

……

It took Xiaoqing less than a stick of incense to return to the courtyard and meet Xiao Yueying.

In the largest room in the inner courtyard.

This place is rich in spiritual energy. A girl is holding two spiritual stones in her hands, sitting cross-legged on the futon of the spiritual gathering array and practicing.

The girl is wearing a light green dress, with a graceful figure, delicate face, long hair shawl, and skin that can be broken by blowing, like a fairy in the forest.

She is none other than the eldest lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Yueying!

Not long after, footsteps sounded outside.

"Miss, I'm back."

Xiaoqing's voice sounded outside.

"Come in."

Xiao Yueying's voice was cold and without any emotion.

Xiao Qing opened the door, walked into the house, closed the door, and then knelt down in front of Xiao Yueying: "Miss, Zhou You has not left, and the elixir has been delivered to you!"

Xiao Yueying said "hmm" and opened her red lips lightly: "Is there anything unusual about him?"

Xiao Qing said: "No, he is very grateful to the lady for the elixir."

After a pause, Xiaoqing said again: "Miss, are you doing something unnecessary? Zhou You will definitely not leave the Xiao family easily..."

"maybe."

Xiao Yueying waved her hand and asked Xiaoqing to go down.

After a while, Xiao Yueying was the only one left in the room. She opened her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were like autumn water.

"I didn't expect Lin Feng's cultivation speed to be so fast. I'm afraid it won't be long before he can build a foundation."

Xiao Yueying's eyes were a little cold, and then she sighed softly: "I hope I can break through to the core formation stage within 20 years, otherwise... I can only use this method, and then I won't be able to help wandering around."

There are four major realms in cultivating immortals: Qi training, foundation building, elixir formation, and Yuanying.

Cultivation in every realm is extremely difficult.

Countless immortal cultivators are stuck in the Qi training period and find it difficult to break through.

Xiao Yueying is extremely talented and has a rare top-grade spiritual root. She cultivated immortality at the age of five. She is 26 years old this year and is already in the middle stage of foundation building. She is the best person of her age in Nanzhou. She is known as the person in the Xiao family who is most likely to aspire to the Nascent Soul stage.

But even so, she still didn't have much confidence in the advanced stage of forming pills. It would take a long time to practice hard to advance to form pills. It would be good to reach the peak of foundation building within 20 years.

If an ordinary person can form elixirs before he is a hundred years old, he is considered to be talented.

Originally she was not in a hurry, but as her engagement with Lin Feng was terminated and they made a century-old agreement, and now that Lin Feng has returned to the ranks of geniuses and has shone in Lincheng in just a few months, Xiao Yueying feels a sense of oppression. .

In order to plan the formation of pills, she had two preparations. In addition to normal breakthroughs, the other one was to travel around!
Although Zhou You has a low-grade spiritual root, the attributes of the spiritual root are the same as hers, and through special means, it was detected that Zhou You possesses an elixir/root bone.

This kind of bone has nothing to do with spiritual roots. Those who possess it are very suitable for taking the path of alchemy, but it is also... extremely suitable for the evil technique she uses to break through the alchemy.

Xiao Yueying had her own arrogance. She broke off the engagement on her own initiative. She didn't want to see Lin Feng, who was called a waste, gradually catch up with her.

So when the critical moment comes, she will not hesitate to sacrifice Zhou Yu.

...At this moment, Zhou You didn't know Xiao Yueying's plan, nor did he know what elixir root he had. He started fishing for spiritual fish after Xiaoqing left.

Not long after, the girl with the sword came to a place two miles away again.

She glanced at Zhou You, and when she saw Zhou You looking towards her, she quickly withdrew her gaze, then took out her fishing rod and started today's fishing.

Zhou You shook his head, having become accustomed to the presence of the sword-wielding girl.

He knew that the other party was just here to fish and would not threaten him.

According to past practice, we travel around throwing bait to make nests, and then fish in silence.

However, today he was a little absent-minded and failed to control his efficiency. After only 2 minutes, he caught the first spiritual fish.

This made the girl's eyes a little hot, and she secretly looked here several times.

However, she did not come up to say hello, nor did she speak.

Soon, Zhou You completed today's task, quickly collected his pole, returned to the thatched hut, and started making lunch.

Now he can't travel around the second level of Qi training, and he can't do fasting. He even eats more than ordinary people because he needs to practice swordsmanship.

……

At this moment, the sword-wielding girl glanced at the thatched huts traveling around, and noticed smoke rising from the huts. She quickly grabbed a handful of bait, imitated the swimming pattern, threw it into the lake, and waited for the fish to take the bait.

There was a trace of expectation on the girl's delicate and white face.

She has been fishing for spirit fish here for more than 20 days.

Not a single one was caught.

In the past, Zhou You had already started fishing every time she came here, and she didn't see any skills in Zhou You.

This time, I finally started fishing before Zhou Yu, and I saw clearly the skills of Zhou Yu when fishing.

The girl felt that she must have mastered the skill of fishing for spirit fish and could catch the spirit fish immediately.

So, the girl with the sword sat upright and stared at the fishing line.

In the blink of an eye, another stick of incense passed by, and the lake surface was calm, without any movement.

There was a hint of discouragement on the sword-wielding girl's face.

"Ok?"

The sword-wielding girl frowned and looked down at the shore.

I saw a sand fish waving its tail, swimming around the shore, and occasionally sticking its head out to swallow.

"..."

The sword-wielding girl couldn't help but show a hint of joy when she saw this scene.

She threw away the fishing rod in her hand, stretched out her slender palm, and grabbed the mound of sand fish.

The mound of sand fish flew into her hand out of thin air without any resistance.

The coldness all over the girl's body disappeared, her brows were filled with joy, she hugged the sand fish, turned into a rainbow and left quickly.

Zhou You, who was holding a bowl at the door of the thatched house, was stunned when he saw this scene.

After more than ten breaths, Zhou You finally uttered a few words: "Don't talk about martial ethics!"

……

The next morning, Zhou You finished his practice and looked at the words on the golden seal. The progress of "Opening the Pulse" had reached 97, and he still needed three days to practice this most important technique to perfection.

We have to quickly find a way to get the middle chapter of "The Art of Opening the Pulse".

Otherwise, your cultivation will stagnate.

After taking care of the vegetables in the vegetable field, I thought about it and came to a group of thatched houses thirty miles away.

This is a place that Huang Li mentioned to him, called the fish servants' house, where some fish servants usually chat and exchange information.

There were not many people in the fishhouse, only four of them. When Zhou You came, he introduced himself. The fishmen welcomed Zhou You and introduced them to each other.

Then, they started talking about the Zhengqi Alliance.

The purpose of traveling here was to find out from the side where I could get the second chapter of "The Art of Opening the Pulse".

As a result, I accidentally learned about the Zhengqi Alliance and Huang Li!
