With a bang, it exploded in her, Meng Qi's body.
Her eyes were originally clean amber, but now there was a weird red light, as if something was burning inside, struggling, and trying to tear her body apart.
It hurts!
Also very hot!
But compared to just now, it's already much better.
The karmic red lotus was still raging in her spiritual sea, but the scorching heat that seemed to swallow everything had gradually disappeared.
"Che—" The strange man who never showed up finally spoke again, "It's really boring to meet such a little girl!"
Meng Qi snorted softly, and the golden lotus burning in her body finally fell silent, and finally landed slowly on her spiritual sea, floating like a lotus flower blooming on the surface of the water.
She exhaled slowly, she was still a little confused about what was going on now.
But it looks like she passed the test.
Meng Qi's consciousness swept over the golden lotus, is this hers
As if in response to her, the petals of the little lotus slowly swayed, no longer the scorching heat just now, but turned into a leisurely coolness.
The coolness permeated the spiritual sea, and finally enveloped her inner alchemy.
Bit by bit, it seems to be removing the impurities in the alchemy.
Huh
Meng Qi quietly observed this scene, so could this fire of karma make her inner alchemy more pure
She knows the benefits of this. When a cultivator's realm is improved, when he crosses the catastrophe, if his heart is unstable or his foundation is not strong, it is very easy to go crazy.
Meng Qi was fine before, she was playing steadily, step by step she improved to the present.
She went from Jindan to Yuanying, but she was a little anxious, the foundation would indeed be unstable.
Meng Qi had already figured out that when Yuan Ying was distracted, she would make full preparations.
At that time, you must prepare a bunch of magic weapons that can help you overcome the catastrophe, or natural and earthly treasures.
Then there is the elixir, which must be well prepared.
If it doesn't work, you can hire a few Nascent Soul cultivators to protect the Dharma for you.
But now that she has this fire red lotus, if she can really get rid of the impurities in the inner alchemy, then she will be more confident.
Meng Qi was very happy, just because of this thing, this trip was not in vain.
"Senior." Meng Qi was also a little more grateful to the weird man.
She bowed to her surroundings and said loudly, "Thank you, senior."
"Hmph." The man snorted coldly, "Thank you for what I did? But..."
He changed the subject and asked, "When did you find out?"
What did you find
Meng Qi was a little puzzled, but didn't ask.
"To be able to see this karma fire red lotus, several conditions must be met. First of all, of course, your heart to the Tao must be firm enough. Of course, those who can enter the Ten Jue Mountains can generally meet this requirement." The strange man Said.
Meng Qi nodded.
She couldn't help but withdraw her spiritual consciousness again, and looked at the lotus flower floating in her spiritual sea.
The golden petals look delicate and tender, who would have thought that this is an ancient relic with such a magical effect
"Second." The man said again: "Your Tao must be pure enough."
He paused and then said: "It cannot be affected by other things. No matter what you have experienced, the heart of Taoism at the beginning cannot be changed in the slightest. Well... this is not difficult at all. It can come every ten years. A large part of the juniors here are well protected, and they probably never know what suffering in the world is."
Meng Qi nodded silently again.
The cultivators who can enter Shijue Mountain are almost all from great sects, and they are gifted disciples who are specially trained in the sect. Apart from practicing, some of them have not even started to go out to practice.
So this senior is right.
"But it's a pity that these little cultivators who haven't experienced the wind and rain and don't know what pain is, completely lost the chance to get this karmic fire red lotus. Hehehehe..."
The man laughed happily: "Otherwise, it would be too cheap for them. It doesn't show the preciousness of our fire red lotus. This is a real treasure of heaven and earth. Those so-called treasures of heaven and earth outside it In front of him is a scumbag."
"Little girl." The man didn't wait for Meng Qi to speak this time, and asked again: "You look young and delicate, how can you meet this condition? It's so strange!"
Is it because he died once
Meng Qi stood on the wooden bridge in a daze, not knowing how to answer this question.
"Forget it, you stubborn and boring little girl, I guess if I ask you, you won't tell. If the first two conditions are met, then you have about a one in ten thousand chance of seeing this karma red lotus. "The man said again.
"Oh." Meng Qi responded.
Then I was really lucky, and I also met one in ten thousand.
She raised her willow eyebrows slightly, revealing a shallow smile.
"Oh what?! At this time, shouldn't you ask why you can meet one in ten thousand?" The man seemed to be angry again, "One in ten thousand, you think you are really so lucky ?!"
"Excuse me, senior." Meng Qi bowed his hands again, "Why did I meet this fire red lotus?"
"Because there is a third condition..." The man said slowly: "You must have saved enough people. Of course, this seems to have an advantage for medical practitioners, but Shijueshan is Absolutely fair. Sword cultivators can save people from evil beasts and villains, and this is considered saving people."
"I see." Meng Qi nodded again.
"In addition, there is a fourth condition." The man added.
When he said this, he deliberately stopped and did not continue.
After waiting for a while, Meng Qi had no choice but to ask again: "Senior, what is the fourth condition?"
"Huh." The man snorted again, and then said: "You combine the second and third conditions, and you get the fourth condition."
Meng Qi was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while.
The man's tone suddenly became serious: "Cultivation is to go against the sky. If you don't have a firm mind, you will never reach the peak of the Dao. Only those who can still have a heart no matter what they have experienced, are eligible. To be favored by this fire red lotus. Do you understand?"
Meng Qi stood there in a daze.
She understands a little bit, but a little bit doesn't understand.
"So at such a young age, you are a Nascent Soul Xiaoxiu, and I think it's quite interesting to pass the test. This is not an easy task. The Shijue Mountain has been opened so many times, and I also have seniors here. Ten thousand years have passed, and those who can get the Karma Red Lotus can be counted with two hands."
That person has indeed been here for a long time, and he finally met someone he could talk to, so he naturally talked more: "Last time, it was... Let me think about it, it must have been hundreds of years ago. It was your Taoist companion..."
Meng Qi was stunned again when she heard this, and subconsciously asked, "That Taoist companion of mine?"
"That's right! When he was a distracted little white tiger..." The man continued, "Come to Shijue Mountain to take away the Karma Red Lotus, and then you will be there."
"Previous, senior." Meng Qi was extremely calm and calm just now, but now he stammers for some reason, "He, he is not my Taoist companion."
"What do you mean by not counting?" The man didn't understand.
"It's just..." Meng Qi didn't know what to say.
Her small face was slightly red, "it is" for a long time and finally stammered: "It was because of some reasons that I got married as a Taoist partner."
"Oh..." the man dragged his voice out, "Contract Taoist companion? That guy should have a much higher cultivation base, um... I have slept, and I have also cultivated both, and he said it was just a contract... why does it sound a bit scumbag? ?”
Meng Qi's face flushed red.
In fact, she didn't think these things were a big deal at first, and she had discussed the pros and cons of Shuang Xiu with Yun Qingyan in a serious way before, but when she heard this senior say that, she only felt her cheeks burn.
"No." She hurriedly prevented the senior from continuing to speculate.
Meng Qi thought for a while and said seriously: "He is a very good person!"
"You're not bad either." The man said, "Anyone who can get my karmic fire red lotus is a very good cultivator."
"Not scum." Meng Qi said again immediately.
"Oh..." The man replied again, "little girl, if you hadn't got the Karma Red Lotus, I would have thought you had been deceived."
"He never lied to me." Meng Qi said again.
This time, her tone was extra firm.
Yun Qingyan never lied to her, even if he concealed his identity when he met in the previous life, he just didn't tell Meng Qi his real identity.
But what is spoken has never been deceitful.
Thinking about when they first met, Yun Qingyan said that he came from the Western Realm, and was a practice sect that Meng Qi didn't know about.
It's not cheating either.
Meng Qi himself imagined that he was a hidden sect in the Western Realm, so that wasn't a deception.
"Forget it, forget it." The man said: "I have known the love and interest between children ten thousand years ago, but I don't understand it."
Meng Qi: "..."
She always felt that she should explain, but it didn't seem necessary.
"Hey, although your little girl is stubborn and boring, and you are not very good at chatting, but at any rate, you are the second person who can talk that I have met in hundreds of years."
"The last one, is he?"
"Naturally." The man sighed melancholy again, "Honestly speaking, he's even worse at chatting than you. You're well-behaved enough, he..."
"How is he?" Meng Qi asked curiously.
There is a voice in her heart reminding her to get out of here quickly, she is still in the test of Shijue Mountain.
But when the other party mentioned Yun Qingyan, and it was Yun Qingyan that she never knew, Meng Qi's body stood firmly and did not move.
"Well, almost, he's going to attack and kill me, so hard to kill Huo Honglian." The man said.
Meng Qi: "..."
"Of course, it is impossible for me to be hurt by a distracted little white tiger." The man said again: "But that arrogant kid, tsk tsk, I probably won't forget it in ten thousand years."
Meng Qi couldn't help but smile slightly, so does Master Qingyan still have such a side
"However, his talent is truly astonishing. I heard from my friend that he entered Shijue Mountain later to fight for the Yaojun's order. And he succeeded in one fell swoop." The man said again.
"Senior." Meng Qi asked, "Do you also think he is very talented?"
"It's more than amazing." The man said: "The strength he showed that day is the first person in ten thousand years. We all thought that Shijue Mountain would reappear because of him, and he would be the only hopeful Mahayana in ten thousand years. Ascension cultivator. But the strange thing is... "
"What's strange?" Meng Qi asked quickly.
The man murmured: "I just heard from my friend that this time he entered the Shijue Mountain for the battle for the Yaojun order, but his cultivation seems to be weaker than it was a hundred years ago. And the Dao is damaged... In the past hundred years, what has he experienced? what."
Meng Qi's heart skipped a beat.
Road damaged
This was an injury she had never heard of as a doctor.
Just hearing these words from that senior's mouth made Meng Qi feel flustered, as if a huge copper bell was being struck in her head constantly, making her a little dazed.
Those few words seemed to be pulled out of her mind at any moment.
"Senior." Meng Qi quickly collected himself, and asked respectfully, "The great way..."
She tried very hard to speak, but couldn't utter the words.
"Anyway, if you leave here, you will forget about these things, and you will only remember that you got the Karma Red Lotus, so it's okay to tell you." The man smiled "hehe".
"Thank you, senior." In fact, Meng Qi also knew that after leaving Shijue Mountain, she would forget about these things, but she still wanted to know.
And she already had a faint guess in her heart.
Why did Yun Qingyan get hurt so badly when they first met.
After he healed his injuries in Falling Star Sea, she didn't know if his injuries were completely healed.
At that time, Yun Qingyan, regardless of whether his cultivation had fully recovered, was already far superior to her, and she had no way of treating him at all.
It turned out that he was not alright
Meng Qi recalled the goodbye this time, he still looked so calm and calm, and there was no sign of any injuries on his body.
But the road has...
As soon as she thought of these words, the big clock in her head began to beat frantically again. She only felt the sound of "buzzing" in her ears, and she was in chaos for a moment. Even those words were about to be forgotten. .
"A cultivator's practice is of course going against the sky. In fact, he is also cultivating in accordance with the destiny." The man said slowly.
Speaking of this, his tone became more serious, and he looked much more serious: "The so-called calamity and practice are actually tests. Only in adversity can we grow, but we still follow our own path. As long as we are firm in our hearts and One's own way can always move forward."
"Yeah." Meng Qi nodded obediently.
"A cultivator who really goes against the sky dares to resist even the destiny. They want to jump out of this destiny, and even jump out of their own Dao... Such a cultivator will lose the Dao." The man said .
"So..." Meng Qi lowered her head and looked at her hands.
The fingers are slender, white and slender, the nails are neatly trimmed, and the fingertips are slightly red. If you hold it, you can feel the warmth of her hand.
This is a pair of living hands full of vitality.
"If you go against the destiny, you will be great... ah!"
Before Meng Qi finished speaking, she suddenly screamed and squatted down.
"Eh?" The man suddenly let out a little gasp, his tone a bit surprised, "I just found out, even though this is not something that you, the Nascent Soul Xiaoxiu, can pry into, you shouldn't even be able to mention it. Unless..."
Meng Qi only felt a splitting headache, as if something was directly pressing on her head, making it difficult for her to even think.
There was a "buzzing" in my ears, and I didn't even hear the words that the man said later.
After a while, she finally recovered.
Meng Qi stood up slowly, with a few strands of sweat-wet hair stuck to her forehead, and the back of her green robe was soaked: "Thank you so much, senior."
She said tremblingly, but her mind went blank.
She still remembered that she was talking about Yun Qingyan with this senior, but her mind was in a trance, not knowing what they said.
I don't even remember what the two of you said just now.
"You..." The man suddenly sighed softly, "It's time to move on."
"Yes." Meng Qi bowed to the void, "Thank you for the lotus flowers, senior, and this junior bid farewell."
"Go." The man said, "I haven't talked to anyone for hundreds of years, and I thank you too."
Meng Qi shook her head, she remembered that she got the Yehuo Honglian, and before her, it was Yun Qingyan who got the Yehuo Honglian.
and then
She walked forward quickly, what else did they say
The senior said that True Monarch Qingyan is arrogant and powerful, with extremely high talent.
and then
She reached out and hammered her head. She remembered what else they said, but she couldn't remember at all.
Meng Qi knew that this happened because there were some things she couldn't peek at yet.
But she faintly felt that this was a very important matter to her, and she should remember it.
In a daze, Meng Qi stepped off the wooden bridge and stood on the bank of the swamp.
She turned her head, the sky was still gloomy here, but the swamp that seemed to be boiling just now had completely quieted down, and only a thick cloud of poisonous miasma could be seen staying in the middle of the swamp.
Meng Qi stared in that direction for a while, bowed towards the center of the swamp, then turned around and walked forward.
She walked firmly and quickly, and walked out of the swamp after a while.
Meng Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he found that he was back on the grass again.
The sky is still so blue, and the Shijue Mountains in the distance are still towering.
She stepped on the soft grass and looked around. Probably the only difference was that the place was no longer empty.
On the grass around Meng Qi, they were standing or sitting, and there were even seven or eight cultivators lying on the grass.
Although she didn't know some of these people, they looked very familiar, and they were all cultivators she had met in Jingyuetian before.
"Meng Qiqi!" A woman in red who was lying on the ground suddenly jumped up and rushed towards her, "You finally came out!"
Si Kongxing was also similar to Meng Qi, with a few strands of sweaty hair sticking to his forehead, and his originally beautiful face was a bit stained, making him look rather embarrassed.
"Huh..." She reached out and grabbed Meng Qi's arm, "I knew you would be fine."
"Xingxing." Meng Qi smiled at her.
She looked around, but didn't see any other friends, and asked, "Have you seen anyone else?"
"No." Sikong Xing shook his head, "But I heard from the Fengmeng that Xue Chengxuan has already gone to the next level."
Meng Qi nodded, and looked around again, no one else needs to worry, only Yan Xuan, I don't know if there is anyone else besides him.
"But we can rest here, it doesn't matter. I have already asked the senior who guided us, the calculation of the time spent will only start from the time you enter the test, so if you are injured or exhausted, it doesn't matter if you take a rest here .”
"En." Meng Qi nodded, she had checked all the people who were still here, but she still couldn't find Yan Xuan.
"Meng Qiqi, are you looking for someone?" Si Kongxing followed her gaze from side to side, "Let me help you find someone."
"Well, he is..." Before Meng Qi finished speaking, not far from her, a black figure suddenly appeared on the grass.
The man was still wearing the cloak, his face completely hidden in the shadow of the hood, only the bared jaw was visible.
"Is that him?" Si Kongxing also guessed who Meng Qi was looking for, and quickly asked in a low voice.
"It should be." Meng Qi nodded.
Anyone who can enter Shijue Mountain does not need to do this, except Yan Xuan.
She walked towards the man in the cloak, who obviously noticed Meng Qi and turned to look over.
"Come out?" Meng Qi walked up to him and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." The man in the cloak was Yan Xuan, "I can handle it."
He suddenly raised his hand slowly, stared at his palm, and said in a low voice: "Just now..."
"Huh?" Meng Qi tilted her head slightly, looking at his palm.
"What did you encounter?" Yan Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Meng Qi.
"A miasma swamp." Meng Qi said.
"That's it." Yan Xuan nodded, looked at Sikong Xing beside Meng Qi, "What about you?"
"Me?" Si Kongxing said, "Just now? There are so many enemies, I'm so weak after killing them."
She shook her hands as she spoke, and said, "And they all look like the person I hate the most! Hmph."
Meng Qi tilted her head slightly. From this point of view, everyone's situation is indeed different, and according to what the previous person said, it is enough for them to deal with it.
"I just now..." Yan Xuan raised his head slightly, letting the sun shine on the lower half of his face, "Let's talk about it in another place."
As he spoke, he walked towards a place far away from the resting practitioners.
Meng Qi and Si Kongxing followed him, and the three simply sat on the grass, forming a circle.
"Just now, I recovered my peak strength." Yan Xuan still did not take off his hood, but said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Sikong Xing was surprised, "So you're already well?"
She asked quickly, of course, her voice was still small.
"No." Yan Xuan smiled wryly, "It's just a temporary recovery during the test."
"Then what happened to you?" Si Kongxing asked hastily.
Meng Qi couldn't help but smile and looked at her. Someone like Si Kongxing was probably a very interesting chat partner. If that senior met her, he should be very happy.
Yan Xuan took a deep breath, and said lightly: "I have encountered the thing that I least want to encounter."
He smiled wryly, and said, "The battle before I was injured."
Sikong Xing exhaled in surprise: "And the Demon Realm?"
"Yes!" Yan Xuan said, "So I will fight again."
"And then?" Si Kongxing asked: "This time, finally..."
Meng Qi didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Yan Xuan's hand. The young man's hand was bigger than hers and Sikong Xing's, and his fingers were slender. Even though his cultivation had fallen to the stage of Qi training, his nails were still neatly trimmed. Dry and powerful.
"But this time, the demon cultivators are even stronger." Yan Xuan said: "It's so powerful that I don't think I can hold on for that long, and I will fall down soon."
"But you didn't." Meng Qi said.
Since Yan Xuan passed the test, he must not have fallen.
"Yes..." Yan Xuan said: "I didn't fall down, but I persisted. I don't even know why I persisted. In fact, halfway... halfway..."
"Someone told you to give up halfway and seek help, right?" Meng Qi asked.
"Yes, let me leave first, and say that I can organize enough people to kill them back." Yan Xuan said.
"Then why didn't you leave?"
"Because that person said, organize enough people to kill them back..." He paused, then said slowly: "Kill them back, revenge!"
Since it was revenge, it must be because of his departure. Some people died, and many died.
"So I don't know why, obviously I can't fight, and I can't last that long, but I just persisted." Yan Xuan continued: "By the time I realized it, all the demon cultivators were dead, I... "
He said with difficulty: "Passed the test."
"Congratulations." Meng Qi smiled at him.
"Meng Qi." Yan Xuan lowered his head and looked at his hands, "I also got a lotus flower. The man told me that a little doctor named Meng Qi just got one too."
"Huh?" Yan Xuan wasn't surprised to get Yehuo Honglian, Meng Qi.
After all, according to what that senior said, Yan Xuan met all the conditions.
So, did he also meet that senior
So…
Meng Qi almost jumped up: "Your injury!"
She stretched out her hand to hold Yan Xuan's arm: "Maybe there is a way."
"Huh?" Only Sikong Xing was at a loss, "Lotus? What lotus?"
"That person said it was called Yehuo Honglian." Yan Xuan said.
He subconsciously pulled up the hood and looked into Meng Qi's eyes, as if wondering if she was joking with him.
"Yehuohonglian... what is that?" Si Kongxing looked blankly at Meng Qi and then at Yan Xuan, "I didn't..."
"Yeah." Meng Qi didn't know how to explain, "You need to meet some conditions before you can get it."
"Is that so?" Si Kongxing blinked and nodded, "I see, so Meng Qiqi, will he get better?"
"Hmm..." Meng Qi lowered her head in thought.
She just guessed that the karmic fire tempers the Dao heart, and the Dao heart of the cultivator is stored in the inner alchemy. For her, Karma Red Lotus can make her inner alchemy more pure.
But for Yan Xuan, maybe he can repair his damaged inner alchemy.
With a thought in Meng Qi's mind, the bamboo slip that Senior Lin Yan gave her suddenly shook a few times in the sky above Linghai.
With restrained consciousness, she scanned the bamboo slips.
"Maybe you can give it a try." Meng Qi said, "It's just that you are a cave cultivator, so you have to wait until my medical skills have at least reached the fifth level."
"I've been waiting for two years, there's no rush." Yan Xuan's expression had calmed down, and he said with a smile.
He smiled at Meng Qi, as if he wanted to say something, but his eyes suddenly froze, and he jumped up from the ground, standing in front of Meng Qi and Sikong Xing: "Be careful!"
Meng Qi looked up and saw five rather tall young male cultivators walking towards them side by side.
"I was still thinking that the master uncle was willing to ignore his own son. This time, he didn't give you a place, so he quietly sent you in." The cultivator walking among the five said. .
He was wearing a dark brown robe with a small crescent moon embroidered on the left breast of the front. He was also called Junior Brother Yan Xuan, and he should be from Jingyuetian.
"Waste a quota, but also let my useless son enter Shijue Mountain, our sect master, is really 'selfless'!" The man looked at Yan Xuan, and said slowly.
