After coming back to his senses, he woke up and opened his eyes. In his eyes, a bright light appeared. It looked like the wind was light and the clouds were calm. In fact, Jiang Chen was making great progress in Taoism at this time, and he was getting closer to the state of Yang Shen's perfection.
Beside him, Huangfu Minghua also woke up at the same time. Seeing this, he immediately raised his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations, sir, for refining the spiritual power of the red fruit for thousands of years, and your cultivation has taken a further step!"
Wang Erlang, on the other hand, is just an ordinary scholar after all. At this moment, he is still in a state of confusion. Obviously, even a century-old red fruit that has just matured is enough for him.
Jiang Chen glanced at him, and then said to Huangfu Minghua: "The thousand-year-old red fruit is indeed extraordinary. This time, it saved me ten years of hard work. I really want to thank Mr. Huangfu for his warm hospitality."
"As the saying goes, 'A sword is given to a hero'. Although this thousand-year-old Zhuguo is good, not everyone can afford it. It is also an honor for it to meet a Taoist master like Mr." Huangfu Minghua said with a smile: "Wang It will take another three moments for the young master to wake up, I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to discuss with me the way to practice?"
"I don't dare to ask you if I wish." Jiang Chen said with a smile. The other party was willing to give him elixirs such as the Millennium Vermilion Fruit. It was obvious that he wanted something. It was precisely because of this that he dared to enjoy it unscrupulously. , although there may be some trouble afterwards, the elixir is hard to find, and he is eager to strengthen his cultivation to deal with Cihang Pudu transformed by the Millennium Centipede Spirit. Therefore, he seems to have a choice, but in fact he has no choice.
The two of them held a candlelight conversation in the hall at night. Huangfu Minghua's 800 years of practice was not the same thing. Jiang Chen was also a descendant of the two major sects of Maoshan and Kunlun. After a discussion, both of them learned a lot.
Among them, Jiang Chen obtained various secret techniques known to Huangfu Minghua, such as animal creation, mind-confusion, illusion, etc., while Huangfu Minghua obtained the cultivation key points taught by Jiang Chen. It seems fair, but in fact Huangfu Minghua Hua's gains are greater. After all, although secret techniques are precious, they have their limits, but the key to practice is, for a practitioner, a guide to the great road that can be encountered but cannot be sought!
There is often a legend in the world of spiritual practice that "one day of enlightenment will lead to soaring into heaven". It can be seen that the importance of this key point of practice is definitely not comparable to that of a few heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The reason why Jiang Chen was willing to pay such a huge amount of money was because he wanted to use this method to offset the other party's kindness in giving him the thousand-year elixir. In this way, even if the other party really wanted to ask for something, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to do it again. spoke.
Next to him, Wang Erlang gradually regained consciousness. After absorbing Zhu Guo's spiritual power, he felt as light as a swallow, his body was comfortable, his energy was abundant, his mind was clear, and his intelligence was greatly increased. Many principles and knowledge that he could not figure out in the past were The knowledge I don’t know is all clear at this moment.
Jiang Chen smiled and asked, "Did you sleep well this time?"
Wang Erlang responded calmly: "The treasures of the Immortal Family are indeed extraordinary. I would like to thank Taoist Master Zhiqiu for giving me this opportunity, and I would also like to thank Mr. Huangfu for his hospitality." When he spoke, there was no trace of the previous panic and fear in his words. It was obvious that , even though it was just a century-old red fruit, it was enough to transform him.
Hearing Wang Erlang's words, Huangfu Minghua, who was still immersed in the harvest of Taoism, immediately woke up. He seemed to have thought of something, his face and expression could not help but change slightly, and he couldn't help but feel very upset in his heart.
But at this moment, a loud laugh was suddenly heard from outside the hall: "As soon as I entered the door, I heard that a Taoist master, the old man Huangfu Song, came to my house. He came here to pay his respects."
"Ah!" Huangfu Minghua woke up from his annoyance and quickly stood up and said, "My father is back."
Wang Erlang also stood up quickly, but Jiang Chen remained seated. Not long after, he saw an old man in yellow clothes walking in with a mahogany cane. He looked very old, and his beard and hair were all gray, but as he walked, The body is still healthy, and it is by no means comparable to that of an ordinary decrepit old man.
"Father!" Upon seeing the old man, Huangfu Minghua quickly bowed and saluted.
Next to him, Wang Erlang also hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "Xiaosheng Wang Erlang, I have met Mr. Huangfu."
"Your Majesty, you are polite." Huangfusong returned the greeting with a smile on his face, and then he bowed his hands to Jiang Chen in greeting: "I have seen Taoist Master Zhiqiu, his shabby house is poor, and his hospitality is not good. Please don't be offended by Taoist Master."
"Ha!" With a chuckle, Jiang Chen stood up and said in return: "Mr. Huangfu, you are so humble. How can such a 'rich mansion' be called a shabby and humble abode? Besides, Mr. Huangfu just now entertained you with thousand-year-old red fruits. How can I be surprised if Xiaodao is flattered?"
After being slightly startled, Huangfusong immediately sighed: "I know that Master Qiu didn't know something. That day you intervened in the affairs of the Liu family in Guobei County, and you really solved a big trouble for my family."
"Oh?" Jiang Chen exclaimed, and then said with some curiosity: "How about the inside, please ask the old gentleman to explain it one by one." It's a pity that he is a reincarnation, and he has jumped out of many causes and effects. Whether it is the Maoshan or Kunlun sect's method of calculating fortune, he cannot use it. Even if he uses it, he can't deduce any clues. He can only rely on his own knowledge. In addition, the story of reincarnation transmission often only focuses on the main line. He didn't mention much about side branches, and he really didn't know much about some things.
"Hey..." With a sigh, Huangfusong said with a bit of helplessness: "The cause of the whole thing has to be told by my daughter Jiaona's husband Wu Xiaolang. That day, he went out. When he was playing, he unexpectedly provoked the young master of the Liu family to catch him. He was angry for a moment, so he drove two poisonous snakes from the mountain and injured the young master of the Liu family. This provoked my Xiang slave, in order to repay his kindness, he mistakenly killed the young master in the transformation stage. The wine bug was introduced into Mr. Liu's body and almost caused a catastrophe."
Jiang Chen finally understood the whole thing from beginning to end, but Huangfu Minghua said again: "Cultivation of the Fox Clan is not easy. There is a catastrophe every hundred years. When disasters come, good and evil practices are determined. If you can easily hurt others, Life will be aggravated, and when the time comes, I am afraid that hundreds of years of practice will be burned and turned into ashes." As he spoke, he and his father Huangfusong hurriedly bowed to Jiang Chen again to express their thanks.
"You two are so polite." Jiang Chen said humbly: "We, as cultivators, have a spiritual body and a heavenly mind, and it is our duty to rescue and protect people in danger. How can we deserve your repeated thanks?"
"You deserve it, you deserve it." Huangfu Minghua said repeatedly: "A hundred years of catastrophe is no small matter. If we can't thank you for this kind of life-saving grace, then what else in the world can you be grateful for?"
After exchanging greetings and thanking each other, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became warmer, and the wine was even more fragrant. The guests and hosts were enjoying themselves. After a while, Huangfusong asked with some probing: "Taoist Master Zhiqiu, tell me, this time Invite me, I have something to ask of you? I wonder if Taoist Master Qiu will agree?"
"Oh." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "The old gentleman just said it's okay. If it is feasible, Xiaodao will naturally not refuse."
"This..." After pondering for a moment, Huangfusong immediately said in a deep voice: "In this case, I will speak frankly. I wonder if the wine bug in Master Liu's body is now in the hands of the Taoist Master?"
"It is indeed in my hands." Jiang Chen didn't hide anything in his words, and said with a hint of joking: "Could it be that the old gentleman wants me to return the wine bug to its original owner?"
Huangfusong said guiltily: "I feel ashamed to say this, but the wine bug is not my family's property, so I have to take it back." At this point, he quickly added: "But please don't worry, Taoist Master Zhiqiu. I have already prepared a treasure, and I will never let the Taoist priest suffer in this matter." As he spoke, he clapped his hands and presented a sapphire tray covered with red cloth.
"Taoist Master, please take a look." Huangfu Minghua stepped forward and uncovered the red cloth. He saw a red crystal stone the size of a fist contained in the plate. It was intricately entangled inside, just like the meridians and blood vessels of the human body, and circulated outside. The shimmering light flickered, and there was something indescribable about the magic between the brightness and extinction.
Huangfu Songfuxu smiled and said: "Taoist Master Zhiqiu, this is the most precious treasure in the world of demons. It is called the Red Blood Spirit Crystal. It is a treasure of heaven and earth used to forge magic weapons. I see that the sword carried by Taoist Master is already very spiritual." , if this crystal can be refined, its power will be greatly increased and it will transform into a magic weapon as soon as possible."
"Huh?" Jiang Chen really didn't expect that the other party could actually bring out such a treasure, which made him confused for a while. At this moment, the Scarlet Lin Sword behind him suddenly shook, and he heard a sound With a long cry, he jumped out of the scabbard and jumped in the air.
"Roar!" The magic weapon was unsheathed, the fire was billowing, and suddenly, a ferocious unicorn beast swooped out, its flaming mouth swallowing up the red-blooded spiritual crystal in the plate... .. .
