Chapter 1035: Retreat in a Quiet Room
Xiao Mian decided to retreat to live up to the rich spiritual energy in the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm and his long free time.
In fact, if it weren't for the complicated things that happened in Zulong Residence that day and the urgent need to rescue Ding Wenquan, Xiao Mian really didn't want to leave so soon. After all, every three years, the time and space where Zulong Residence is located will be handed over to the main time and space, and every three years, he can choose to leave.
Now, this Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm is also a good place for cultivation.
With this idea in mind, Xiao Mian wanted to retreat for a long time and try to see if he could break through to the top level of Jindan with the rich spiritual energy in Xuanwei Cave.
If he could really break through to the top level of Jindan, his strength would definitely be even better.
After telling everyone about this, Xuancao was a little reluctant, but she also agreed with Xiao Mian's decision. After all, only when the strength is improved can one live better.
In conjunction, Gui Hai, Yin Jiansheng and others all expressed their desire to retreat together.
As for Jing Chu, he had been in retreat for several days without saying anything...
Only Kong Yuanren hesitated and expressed his thoughts.
"Old Kong! Are you going to enter the world?"
"Well! Since you, Xiao Mian, are planning to practice in seclusion, I want to take advantage of this time to leave the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm and travel to the Yin Shang Realm, or even further. I want to see all the prosperity of Zhongzhou, I want to see through the Zhongzhou's strengths and weaknesses, and I want to find a way for Nanyuezhou!"
"Have you decided?"
"I have decided!"
"Okay!" Xiao Mian took out the guest chair and handed it to Kong Yuanren, but Kong Yuanren did not take it. He just took out a stool and shook it: "The guest chair is of great importance, how can it be lost? I A stool is enough! Besides, this time, I am purely here to travel around Zhongzhou, not to rob like you, so I guess there won't be any danger. If the situation is really urgent, I will naturally teleport back here via the stool, don't worry! "
"...Okay!" After putting away the guest chair, Xiao Mian took out a few storage bags and handed them to Kong Yuanren. Kong Yuanren opened them and saw that there was nothing else in the storage bag, only spirit stones - countless spirit stones. A rough estimate showed that there were at least 30 million spirit stones. Just as Kong Yuanren was about to speak, Xiao Mian said, "Brother Yuanren! This time you traveled to Zhongzhou, you did not represent yourself, and everything you gained was not yours!"
"I understand!" After putting away the spirit stones, Kong Yuanren faced Xiao Mian and promised seriously, "Yuanren, I will not let Brother Xiao down!"
"Remember: everything else is false, only if you come back alive, you are the best wealth of Nanyuezhou!" While speaking, Xiao Mian took out the Beidou Si Nan Plate, thought about it, and took out the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce's Jiantian Order, and gave them to Kong Yuanren. He briefly explained the uses of both, and Xiao Mian patted Kong Yuanren on the shoulder and said, "Take care!"
After that, Xiao Mian sent Kong Yuanren out of the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm.
Watching Kong Yuanren wave his hand and leave casually, Xiao Mian felt a sense of parting for no reason in his heart: not just because of today.
Kong Yuanren, this is going to take a completely different path from Xiao Mian...
But no matter what, both of them are for Nanyuezhou!
Kong Yuanren's qualifications and combat power are well-deserved leaders in Nanyue Province, but if he is placed in Zhongzhou, he is just like Ling Tianfeng.
Ling Tianfeng may be able to call the wind and rain in Chaoge City, but if he leaves Chaoge City, he is nothing - Xiao Mian can beat ten of him alone!
When Qingqiu Patriarch led Yin Jiansheng and four others, except Hu Ying was killed by Xiao Mian, the strength of the other three was almost equal.
Yin Jiansheng may be a head higher than Kong Yuanren and Jing Chu, but Jing Chu and Kong Yuanren are evenly matched.
However, as time goes by, Yin Jiansheng is getting stronger and stronger, and even Jing Chu, after the Wushang Sword is broken, is broken and then rebuilt, and emerges as a new force.
Although Jing Chu is still a high-level Jindan, he is already comparable to the top-level Jindan combat power. What's more rare is Jing Chu's amazing potential in swordsmanship!
Potential!
This is exactly what Kong Yuanren lacks.
Jingchu went into seclusion early because he had a goal to strive for and he was full of expectations for his future, but Kong Yuanren was a little confused...
Even if he cultivated to the top level of Jindan, what would it matter?
He still couldn't beat Jingchu, he was still the weakest among the crowd, and he was still a drag - although he didn't want to, it was an indisputable fact!
What's more, Kong Yuanren's character was really not suitable for the intrigues in Zhongzhou.
After realizing that he would not make much progress due to his qualifications and character, Kong Yuanren retreated to the second best and intended to turn from the outside to the inside.
If Xiao Mian and others were in Zhongzhou to rectify the name of Nanyuezhou and make the monks in Zhongzhou no longer dare to underestimate the monks in Nanyuezhou, then Kong Yuanren planned to take a path inward - he had even thought about it, and he would return to Nanyue after completing his journey in the future!
While Xiao Mian and others were traveling in Zhongzhou, he, Kong Yuanren, returned to Nanyue and used what he saw, heard, thought and felt in Zhongzhou to reform the arthritis in Nanyuezhou.
At that time, Xiao Mian and others will return strongly, and what they will see is a brand new Nanyue Province!
Xiao Mian, vaguely understood Kong Yuanren's thoughts, although a little sad, but if Kong Yuanren can really make Nanyue Province a new look, it would be a great contribution.
With a sigh, Xiao Mian returned to the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm.
Please bring out the humanoid puppet and Guitou. Xiao Mian handed the Yin-Yang Cauldron and Qingjing to Guitou, and took out a large pile of various spiritual materials and pushed them in front of Guitou.
"Ghost Master! Xuancao wants to practice the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Art", please!"
"Hmph! You kid! You go into seclusion by yourself, and let me, an old man, help your young wife refine flying swords? And you refine dozens or even hundreds of them at a time. Aren't you afraid of tiring me?"
"How can I? The more capable, the more work!"
"Tsk! It's okay for me to help Xuancao refine the sword, but you'd better come up with something new for me to refine during my seclusion, such as the Three Pure Swords! Otherwise... hmph..."
While speaking, the ghost head rolled up a gust of black wind, carrying the Yin Yang Cauldron and the pile of various spiritual materials, and disappeared. Qing Jing looked at Xiao Mian pitifully, as if she was extremely reluctant to work under the ghost head, but in order to refine the weapon, Qing Jing had to help.
Fortunately, Qing Jing also knew the priorities, and after hesitating for a while, she finally followed the ghost head.
After that, Xiao Mian began to retreat.
Although Xiao Mian and other Jindan cultivators were all in retreat, there was still Xuancao, and Xiao Mian was holding the guest seat. Even if Chu Xingxuan wanted to show off her cleverness, it would be difficult for her to escape from the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm. Moreover, Chu Xingxuan did not seem to have any intention of escaping.
After leaving the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm, where else could she find such a good place for cultivation with such abundant spiritual energy, so many elixirs, and such a stupid Nanyue Xiao Mian?
Chu Xingxuan even fantasized that one day she would successfully form a elixir, and then beat Xiao Mian to the ground, and she would dominate the Xuanwei Cave Secret Book.
Let's not talk about external affairs, just talk about Xiao Mian. After entering the quiet room, he did not start retreating immediately, but summoned the white bird.
It was called a bird, but in fact, it was already three feet long when it spread its wings.
After letting the bird circle over his head, Xiao Mian summoned it, took out a spiritual pill, and fed it to the little white bird.
Then he took out a jade slip and stuck it on the bird's forehead.
This jade slip, called "Garuda Secret Words Sutra", was obtained from Garuda who was killed by Asura that day.
Garuda, among the Eight Immortals, is the symbol of the Golden Winged Dapeng. When it has cultivated to the extreme, even dragon monsters are nothing more than food in front of it.
Carefully transferring the content of "Garuda Secret Words Sutra" to the little white bird's mind, Xiao Mian was relieved when he saw that the little white bird did not feel any discomfort.
Then, he saw the little white bird hovering in front of Xiao Mian, with its wings closed, claws bent, and eyes slightly closed, pretending to be in a state of meditation.
This little guy is also very spiritual!
He casually set up a simple barrier around the little white bird, and Xiao Mian finally calmed his body and mind completely, entering a mysterious state of meditation.
"Three Pure Ones Bible" was running autonomously over and over again.
At the same time, Xiao Mian carefully nurtured the Star Magnetic Sword, the Sun and Moon Swords, the Five Spiritual Jade, the Five Spiritual Sword and other magic weapons. The others were fine, especially the Star Magnetic Sword. Although it had fortunately broken through to the realm of high-level magic weapons, it was severely damaged after all. It had almost always been suppressed by Xiao Mian's blood. Now, Xiao Mian was heartbroken.
At this time, the body of the Star Magnetic Sword was covered with cracks.
If it is not repaired, it may be difficult to recover...
With a turn of his eyes, Xiao Mian took out the Heavenly Star Earth Disk and summoned the black cloth, ordering the black cloth to repair the damaged Heavenly Star Earth Disk as soon as possible.
Little thing!
Is my top-grade spirit stone so delicious?
At the same time, Xiao Mian put down all the chores at hand and repaired the Star Magnetic Sword with all his strength.
It took Xiao Mian a whole year to repair the Star Magnetic Sword alone. During this time, Xiao Mian bled several times, using his own blood to sacrifice to the Star Magnetic Sword, and finally the tiny cracks on the Star Magnetic Sword gradually closed until it was restored to its original state.
One year later, Xiao Mian looked at the Star Magnetic Sword in his hand, which was like a clear stream, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
He flicked the sword with his fingers, and the sword flashed, and a sword sounded, resounding through the quiet room.
Satisfied, Xiao Mian put away the Star Magnetic Sword.
At this time, Hei Bu presented the Heavenly Star Earth Magnetic Plate like a treasure.
After checking it out, Xiao Mian found that the Heavenly Star Earth Magnetic Plate had indeed been restored by Hei Bu, and even faintly, it seemed to be more powerful.
I don’t know whether it was Hei Bu’s magic or the Heavenly Star Earth Magnetic Plate that was extraordinary.
After praising Hei Bu, Xiao Mian did not intend to let Hei Bu go.
"Xiao Bu! I have some spiritual materials that I don't need on a daily basis. The grade is not too high, just about the sixth grade. If you need it, why not give it to you?"
"..."
"You want it? Really? That's fine! I don't have any other conditions, just one thing: this little guy is now practicing to open his mind. If he comes out of retreat in the future, he may need to refine a set of flying swords. Xiao Bu, as an elder, you need to use these spiritual materials to help him, okay?"
"..."
"One set! It's really just a set of flying swords! Elder! Of course you are an elder! More respected than that old ghost!"
"..."
"Agreed? You really have the demeanor of an elder! Then I'm relieved..."
After saying that, Xiao Mian left Xiao Hei Bu, who was still immersed in the sense of honor of being an elder. Of course, he would not tell Hei Bu: that set of flying swords has more than a hundred!
Xiao Mian wanted to let the little white bird practice the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Art" like the daylily. Although the demon clan does not need to be so troublesome to refine weapons, it is a compromise after all. If possible, let the black cloth cooperate with the little white bird, use the feathers of the little white bird as the main body, and mix in various spiritual materials. The refined demon weapon will naturally be more powerful.
After setting up the next shielding barrier, Xiao Mian went into seclusion on his own.
This time, it was a real seclusion...
That is why time is not so important to Xiao Mian.
A few years may pass between closing his eyes and opening them again.
During this time, Xiao Mian went through all the magical skills that he had learned from him, such as "Drunken Life, Dreaming Death Sword Art" and "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Art"...
Who allowed his Sanqing Guiyuan Body to practice all the laws in the world?
All he could do was - those who are capable should do more work!
In the end, Xiao Mian shifted all his attention to the Sanqing Sword.
Faintly, Xiao Mian always felt that he had touched the threshold of the Sanqing Sword. He even had an illusion: he didn't know when he had comprehended the Sanqing Sword.
However, no matter how much Xiao Mian tried to recall it, he couldn't remember it.
Could it be that he was dreaming again?
