Chapter 4 Requirements

five months later.

"For those who are mixed, the vitality is not divided, and the chaos is one, which is the beginning of the vitality. The vitality is born in the chaos, it is bright on the outside, and dark on the inside."

Lu Xiaotian sat on the grass mat in the open space in front of the cave, with his legs crossed, silently performing the exercises in the "Hunyuan Jing", holding his breath and concentrating, holding the yuan and guarding one, and circulating the trace of vitality in his body for a second big cycle Days later, he exhaled a foul breath. Before entering the Qi Refining Layer, the gas in Lu Xiaotian's lungs dispersed as soon as he spit it out. At this time, the gas spit out from the mouth was shot out like a short arrow.

It took nearly four months for Lu Xiaotian to enter the first level of Qi Refining, and this month has strengthened a little.

"Oops, I almost forgot to feed the little green ants the Beast Spirit Pill."

Lu Xiaotian slapped his forehead, and the aura outside the cave was more abundant, because he had practiced for a little longer just now, when he came back to his senses, Lu Xiaotian got up from the ground, quickly stepped forward with his two calves, and ran into the cave. The big black bear lying on the door opened his eyes, saw it was Lu Xiaotian, closed them listlessly and continued to sleep soundly.

Lu Xiaotian skillfully ran to the dark room of the alchemy room, took a small white bottle, and then went to the spirit beast room in the cave. In the relatively spacious spirit beast room, there were some white phoenixes scattered in a jade pond about Zhang Xu square. The leaves of the grass, the white yingcao is a low-level spiritual grass, with a light white luster floating on the leaves, and there are slight sounds in the leaves of the white yingcao from time to time.

Lu Xiaotian took out more than a dozen black pills exuding a strange fragrance from the small white bottle, and scattered them on the leaves of Yingcao.

hiss

Suddenly there was a sound in Yuchi, more than twenty green ants, which were five or six times larger than normal ants, crawled out from the leaves, and rushed to chew on the Beast Spirit Pill.

"One, two"

Riding the little green ants to eat, Lu Xiaotian counted the quantity repeatedly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after finding that the quantity was not low. In the past six months, the black-robed old man went out more and more frequently. In addition to practicing, Lu Xiaotian is also responsible for helping the old man in black to take care of these little green ants.

These little green ants are low-level spirit insects, and it is not easy to raise them. After nearly half a year, they only raised these twenty or so. Once there is not enough food, the little green ants will kill each other.

Two months ago, because Lu Xiaotian didn't feed in time, two little green ants were killed by other stronger ones to share food. For this reason, Lu Xiaotian was beaten twenty times by the black-robed old man. Underground activities. After learning this lesson, Lu Xiaotian is always extra careful.

Lu Xiaotian plugged the peach wood stopper into the mouth of the white vial, and suddenly there was a long and narrow shadow on the ground. Lu Xiaotian's heart tightened, and he soon felt relieved. He turned around, and as expected, it was the old man in black robe.

"Old Geng!" Lu Xiaotian saluted the old man in black robe.

"Do you know it's me?" His cultivation base is much higher than Lu Xiaotian's, and just after he appeared at the door of the spirit beast room, Lu Xiaotian seemed to have noticed it, and the black-robed old man couldn't help being a little surprised.

"There is a faint figure on the ground, and the black bear is guarding the entrance of the cave. The only one who can enter the cave silently is Geng Lao." Lu Xiaotian said truthfully.

"Yes, at such a young age, someone with such a mind is really outstanding among his peers." The black-robed old man nodded slightly, secretly thinking that it is a pity that this son's spiritual root potential is not good. Not much progress. It is not impossible to accept as a disciple in the past. But since the Earth Fire Palace was exterminated, the old man in black robe thought of the word "disciple", and his face became sullen.

"The shadow ants are also fed well. This is a Qi Gathering Pill for you." The black-robed old man took out a pill bottle from his body, and with a palm of his hand, the pill bottle floated in front of Lu Xiaotian.

Lu Xiaotian took the elixir bottle and opened the lid, a refreshing scent of elixir came out inside, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but brows brows, Juqi elixir is the elixir used by monks in the early stage of qi refining, and it has good effects from the first floor to the third floor. The effect of this elixir is worth three months of penance for him who is only at the first level of refining Qi.

"Thank you, Mr. Geng, for giving me the pill." Lu Xiaotian quickly thanked him after putting away the pill in a precious and precious manner.

"As long as you do a good job, I will not be stingy with rewards." The black-robed old man nodded, took out another small jade gourd, and said, "In the future, my time in the cave may be shorter. After the shadow ants in the jade pond mature , if I haven't come back, you put the mature shadow ants into the jade gourd."

At this time, Lu Xiaotian also knew that this kind of little green ant was called a shadow ant, but Lu Xiaotian's face was a little troubled. This kind of little green ant is a kind of low-level spirit insect, which is not very lethal, but it has a strong paralyzing effect. Two months ago, that was the time when the feeding was not in time, it was also because Lu Xiaotian accidentally stretched his hand into the jade pond and was bitten by a little green ant. He moved much slower than usual and fell on the animal skin. After sleeping for two hours longer, when we got up again, the little green ants in Yuchi were already eating each other.

"Old Geng, after I was bitten by a shadow ant, I was paralyzed for nearly a day. If there is no preventive measures, I'm afraid it will delay the task assigned by Elder Geng."

Lu Xiaotian said cautiously, lest he offend the old man in black.

"This bottle is the antidote for the paralysis poison of the shadow ants. You just need to take the antidote before catching the shadow ants." The old man in black robe gave Lu Xiaotian another small medicine bottle.

"Yes, Mr. Geng."

After taking the antidote, Lu Xiaotian thought to himself, no wonder the black-robed old man who had been honest with him before gave him a Qi Gathering Pill just now, and it turned out that he was asked to do this kind of hard work. Even if there is an antidote, being bitten by a little green ant is still quite painful. It's just that the old man in black robe made such an arrangement, but there was no room for him to refuse.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'll take the alchemy furnace with me." Shi Shi, the black-robed old man, said.

"If the Beast Spirit Pill is used up and Mr. Geng hasn't come back, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of these shadow ants." Lu Xiaotian said truthfully.

"I still have a small alchemy furnace here. Although it is not very good, it is enough for refining beast spirit pills."

The black-robed old man took out another small alchemy furnace that was pitch-black and made of black iron. Just looking at the color, it was far worse than the one used by the black-robed old man, but Lu Xiaotian himself had no other side, let alone other spiritual objects. Lu Xiaotian didn't mind this, but Lu Xiaotian thought that he didn't have any means of self-protection now. Through the conversation between the old man in black robe and several other people, Lu Xiaotian knew that monks should not only have exercises, but also practice spells. Or combat skills are considered to have combat power.

When he was in Leidaomen before, brother Shi Qingshan also practiced his inner strength and mental skills, and then he had to practice martial arts to be regarded as a real warrior. Therefore, Lu Xiaotian thought that warriors and immortal cultivators also have something in common.

The black-robed old man left longer each time, so after thinking for a while, Lu Xiaotian plucked up his courage and said, "Old Geng, in case you don't come back in time, I will go out to pick the elixir for refining beast spirit pills. The black bear was taken out. If a monster breaks into the cave, it may damage the things in the cave. If I don’t take the black bear out, I will encounter danger outside. If I don’t come back, it will delay Mr. Geng’s feeding These shadow ants may have the hope of being old."

"You mean you want something from me?" Elder Geng smiled sullenly, his pair of triangular eyes shot out as cold as a poisonous snake.

"No, I dare not."

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Lu Xiaotian's forehead. The pressure of the high-ranking monks made Lu Xiaotian's calves tremble a little. At this time, he was able to insist on not kneeling down, which is considered pretty good.

Old Geng's face was cloudy and uncertain, and the spiritual objects found in the canyon were indeed what he was determined to obtain. And the Shadow Ant is also one of his killer pincers, but its individual lethality is not strong. Before, it had several fights with the disciples of Lingxiao Palace, and most of them were destroyed. This little guy in front of him is still somewhat useful. If it is really like what Lu Xiaotian said, it is indeed tricky.

After thinking about it for a while, Mr. Geng's face turned pale, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and then he threw an ancient silver ring and a booklet to Lu Xiaotian, "This is the ring of spirit beasts, and the booklet is about the art of taming beasts." , you can take the black bear out to subdue a low-level spirit beast."

"Thank you, Mr. Geng."

Lu Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief. For the black-robed old man, he had a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart. If he had no choice, Lu Xiaotian really didn't want to bear this kind of pressure for no reason. It's just that once the black-robed old man left, he went out alone to collect spirit grass and refine beast spirit pills , It is indeed too dangerous, for the sake of my own life, I have to act like this.
