Chapter 314: Reversing the Origin and Returning to the Spirit

When Xiao Mian returned to the courtyard of Jade Hoe Ancestor, Ding Kaishan was running around in a hurry.

"Brother Xiao! You're finally back!" Seeing Xiao Mian return safe and sound, Ding Kaishan was stunned and overjoyed. He pulled Xiao Mian and talked for a while, then lowered his voice and asked in detail: "Why didn't you, kid?" Lu Jiu is together? Something happened?"

"Something happened, it's nothing!"

Shaking his head, Xiao Mian did not intend to tell Ding Kaishan about his suspicion of Lu Jiu. After all, Lu Jiu was a strong man in the golden elixir. If he was pushed into a hurry, he might do something evil. Besides, Xiao Mian didn't have anything at hand right now. Without conclusive evidence and just relying on his one-sided words, how could the Jade Hoe Ancestor embarrass a powerful Jindan person?

To deal with Lu Jiu, we must have conclusive evidence and kill him with one strike!

Lu Jiu was stunned when he saw Xiao Mian, and then he pulled Xiao Mian to greet him. Although Xiao Mian found it funny, he brushed it off one by one.

When Xiao Mian saw the Jade Hoe Ancestor, he couldn't help but feel secretly frightened.

Although the ancestor of Jade Hoe seemed to be unscathed at this time, the original red complexion was gone, replaced by a touch of deathly gray and paleness.

Jade Hoe Ancestor, you are injured!

"The boy is finally back?" As he spoke, the Jade Hoe Ancestor waved to Lu Jiu, but did not even look at Lu Jiu. He waited until only the Jade Hoe Ancestor and Xiao Mian were left in the hall. He exhaled and said, "This time, it's me, a peasant, who can't stand up to you! The old man didn't expect that he would dare to do this before I'm dead!"

"Ancestor knows?"

"Although he doesn't know everything, he is not ignorant. Lu Jiunai is my senior brother's direct disciple, and he can be regarded as my nephew. If you calculate carefully, I am afraid that he is more than four hundred years old. For a golden elixir monk, four hundred years old is A hurdle. If you pass this hurdle and still fail to advance to Yuanying, your life will be almost over! Lu Jiu has been unable to come out of seclusion before. He suddenly came out of seclusion a few days ago. According to Yan Yan, he also had I met with that boy from Bai Jintang, and I’m afraid I want to use the Bai family’s panacea to break through the bottleneck!”

"The Bai family? It's the Bai family again! Does the Bai family really have a panacea that can help people break through bottlenecks? Even those who can break through to the Nascent Soul realm?"

"Of course there are miraculous elixirs that can help people break through. The most famous one is the Bai family's secret golden elixir. Taking it can help monks break through to the golden elixir realm." Xiao Mian was stunned by the words of the Jade Hoe Ancestor. It suddenly became clear why Li Muchao's face changed drastically when he heard the "Gold Condensing Good Fortune Pill" before his death. It turned out that this pill was secretly passed down by the Bai family. Very few outsiders could get it, and even if they did, they would never put it up for auction. of. The Jade Hoe Ancestor continued: "As for the pill that can break through to the Nascent Soul realm, it's not that there isn't one. The legendary 'Ningying Pill' has this effect, but the Bai family doesn't have it!"

"That's right! If the Bai family has Ning Ying Dan, I'm afraid the entire Wan Zong City will be named Bai!"

"Not everyone can understand this. Besides, even if the Bai family doesn't have the Ningying Pill, there are still other elixirs that extend life. Lu Jiu must be looking for something!"

"What are you going to do, ancestor?" Since Jade Hoe Ancestor has understood Lu Jiu's little plan, Xiao Mian naturally doesn't mind adding a little more fire to burn Lu Jiu until it's charred on the outside and tender on the inside. But the ancestor of the Jade Hoe shook his head, and after a long time he sighed: "In this troubled autumn, it is really not appropriate for the peasants to break their muscles. The Bai family's method of dealing with the peasants has always been clever, and gentleness is the most important, and the peasants are inherently good. There are many short-sighted people who have expressed their support for the Bai family. If they rashly touch Lu Jiu, it will be a waste of time! But don’t worry: I will ask Yan Yan to pay close attention to him, and what happened today will never happen again!"

"... So, thank you, ancestor!" Jade Hoe Ancestor has already said this, what else can Xiao Mian ask for? He could only walk around when seeing Lu Jiu in the future, lest the other party use his life as a bargaining chip to flatter the Bai family. After calming down for a moment, Xiao Mian turned to ask: "Ancestor, how are your injuries from the battle with the God of Death today?"

"The injury is not serious, but it is not light either! But don't worry: The God of Death is definitely more injured than me! It's just a pity..." With that said, the Jade Hoe Ancestor took the jade hoe from his waist, and Xiao Mian took a closer look. Then, he was shocked. There was a crack in the middle of the originally round and transparent jade hoe. Although it was small, it ruined the appearance of the entire jade hoe. I heard the Jade Hoe Ancestor say with some frustration: "It's just a pity for this jade hoe! I originally wanted to hold on until the mountain was formed and the elixir was formed, so I could pass this thing on to him... What a pity!"

The three words "It's a pity" in this sentence fully show the sadness of the Jade Hoe ancestor at this time.

Think about it, this jade hoe itself is a mid-level magic weapon, it is the object of enlightenment for the ancestor of the jade hoe, and it is also the inheritance token of his lineage. Its origin is extraordinary, and its meaning is even more extraordinary. Now it is damaged, why not Sad?

"Old Ancestor, I heard that Confucian Shang is good at refining weapons. I wonder if I can ask him to repair the jade hoe on my behalf?"

"Shang Xiucai?" The Jade Hoe Ancestor was stunned when he heard this, but after his eyes flickered for a few times, he sighed dejectedly: "Shang Xiucai's skill in weapon refining is indeed one of the best in Wan Zong City, but his cultivation level is a bit lower. . In order to repair the intermediate magic weapon, it must be done by a master of weapon refinement with a high level of Yuanying or above. If Shang Xiucai's master is still alive, there is still a third chance, but he is still a little behind... "

Xiao Mian was dumbfounded. From the tone of the Jade Hoe Patriarch, Xiao Mian learned that the Jade Hoe Patriarch and the Shang Shu were probably of the same generation, otherwise he would not have dared to call the scholar "Shang Xiucai" outright, but it was necessary to repair the Jade Hoe. The fact that a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator took action was beyond Xiao Mian's expectation. Even he, for a moment, looked gloomy.

You know, the reason why the Jade Chu Patriarch is called the Jade Chu Patriarch is because of this jade hoe. It is conceivable that the Jade Chu Patriarch spent a lot of effort on this jade hoe. It can even be said that 80% of the Jade Chu Patriarch's combat power depends on this jade hoe. Now that the jade hoe is damaged, the Jade Chu Patriarch's combat power is directly affected.

The Jade Chu Patriarch's combat power is not only related to the life and death of the entire farming family, but also to Xiao Mian's life and property. How can Xiao Mian not be anxious?

But suddenly, a bold idea was generated in Xiao Mian's mind, and once it was generated, it could never be shaken off.

"May I ask, ancestor, is there any true essence in this jade hoe that you usually use to cultivate and nourish this thing?"

"Of course! These true essences can feed back to the cultivators during the battle, and increase the total amount of true essence of the cultivators in disguise. Sometimes, how much true qi or true essence a magic weapon can contain is also one of the criteria for measuring its level!" Although the ancestor of the Jade Hoe did not know what Xiao Mian meant by asking this question, he still answered truthfully. Xiao Mian then asked: "How much true essence can be sealed in the jade hoe?"

"This..., it is probably equivalent to One tenth of my true essence, right! "

"One tenth? So little! ? "Xiao Mian blurted out, which made the Jade Hoe Patriarch blew his beard and glared for a while, and roared indignantly: "Little? You kid said this is still little? One tenth of my true essence is enough to kill you a hundred times!"

It's no wonder that the Jade Hoe Patriarch was so angry. You know, even ordinary high-level magic weapons may not be able to accommodate one tenth of his true essence. This is also one of the reasons why the Jade Hoe Patriarch usually regards the Jade Hoe as his life. Now that he is underestimated by Xiao Mian, how can he not be angry? Xiao Mian is also wronged! The day before yesterday, he used the fairy stone to transfer the true energy, but he didn't encounter the embarrassment of not being able to accommodate it. How could he know that the capacity of the Jade Hoe was so small?

However, after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Mian was relieved. On the one hand, the total amount of the Jade Hoe Patriarch's true essence was much larger than Xiao Mian's. One tenth of his true essence was enough to kill Xiao Mian a hundred times. On the other hand, it was probably the difference between true essence and true energy.

After sticking out his tongue awkwardly, Xiao Mian simply revealed his plan.

"You mean I should continue to pour true essence into the jade hoe, then replenish the true essence in my body, and then absorb the true essence stored in the jade hoe to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough?" After Xiao Mian nodded, the Jade Hoe Patriarch fell into deep thought again, and then shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple! After all, the jade hoe can only seal one-tenth of my true essence. It's difficult to use this one-tenth of true essence to cause a qualitative change in true essence!"

Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, but when he thought about it, he used the true energy of his whole body to compress only a little true essence. It's unknown when he wants to transform the true energy of his whole body into true essence. Now it's only one-tenth of true essence. It's okay to use it in a fight, but if you want to use it as a lead for a breakthrough, it's a drop in the bucket.

In this way, it is not that there are no people in history who have such wild ideas as Xiao Mian, but their opportunities are not as good as Xiao Mian's, and there is no immortal stone, so they can only stop their wild ideas at the stage of fantasy, but cannot implement them.

"But if I add a secret technique I got before, it is not impossible..." Just when Xiao Mian was in a daze, the story took a turn, and the Jade Chu Patriarch talked to himself, and then took out a jade slip and threw it to Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian was curious and used his divine consciousness to inject it into the jade slip, and saw the five big words at the beginning flashing through his mind - "Ni Yuan Gui Ling Jue"!
