After searching for a long time on the Black Mountain, I only found a few Polygonum multiflorum plants that were very old, had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy, and had very tenacious vitality, but no other good things were found.
There may be some good things in the completely sealed cave filled with corpses, but in addition to the abnormal accumulation of spiritual energy in the cave, there is more of a gathering of evil energy.
Evil spirit is just a temporary name given by Li Xiao himself. Lao Bai can't speak yet and doesn't know how to describe that kind of energy. It can only mean that after that kind of energy invades the body, at least it will cause hallucinations and fall into madness, and at worst, it will completely lose oneself and fall into despair.
Demonic way.
As a new Qi practitioner, I naturally wanted to avoid this mysterious energy as much as possible, so I decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to hunt for treasures in the Black Mountain.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, I led a group of people to leave Montenegro early.
…
Along the way, Lao Bai also made hand gestures and spoke simple syllables to persuade. Although the others couldn't understand what Lao Bai was saying, Li Xiao could easily understand what the other party wanted to express. It felt a bit like
Communication of consciousness.
The content of the persuasion was to ask Li Xiao to live in seclusion with him for a period of time to avoid being attacked by the rat demon. Li Xiao was indeed a little moved by Lao Bai's persuasion.
Since we encountered a rat demon on this black mountain this time, we cannot rule out the possibility of encountering that thing in the future, and it is not always possible to drag Lao Bai over to rescue him.
In fact, Lao Bai has no obligation to come all the way to the rescue. The life-saving grace has already been repaid, so from a safety perspective, it is indeed better to hang out with Lao Bai for a while.
If you choose to live in seclusion, you may miss out on a lot of good things. The original plan was to become a senior member of the Chu State, and then use the power of the Chu State to collect some rare treasures. This is much more effective and safer than searching all over the mountains and plains by yourself.
.
In fact, this plan went quite smoothly. The county official could not wait to report his existence to the King of Chu. He believed that an envoy would arrive within a few days.
"Captain Chu, are there any powerful masters in our capital of Chu?" Li Xiao suddenly turned around and asked the captain.
Chu Zhisheng, who was following from a distance, immediately ran over and replied respectfully: "Of course there are masters, but there shouldn't be anyone as powerful as Mr. in the capital."
Chu Zhisheng answered with certainty, and it was not like flattering. This really made Li Xiao a little confused. If the human race did not have some powerful masters in charge, wouldn't it be possible for powerful things like rat demons to break into human cities and do whatever they want?
"It's really strange. There is so much spiritual energy in the world. It stands to reason that as long as you keep practicing, you will definitely be able to achieve some results." Li Xiao muttered in confusion.
Regarding Li Xiao's soliloquy, Chu Zhisheng really wanted to reply: You think everyone knows the real method of Qi training, and you think elixirs and spiritual objects that assist Qi training can be found everywhere.
Of course, I didn't dare to say such words, so I just bowed respectfully and returned to the team, following Li Xiao and Bai Yuan from a distance, so as not to disturb the chat between the two senior brothers.
But all I could think about was how to successfully become a disciple. I just felt that I was a bit too old, so maybe my apprenticeship was just wishful thinking...
After Chu Zhisheng retreated to a distance, Bai Yuan patted Li Xiao and began to explain with gestures:
"It is said that hundreds of years ago when King Wu conquered Zhou, many powerful Qi practitioners were involved. The super war at that time caused a lot of damage to the world. Therefore, after some discussion, those powerful Qi practitioners
They all chose to live in seclusion, and as long as the human race is not completely destroyed, they will never interfere in the affairs of mortals... Of course, the true method of Qi training has also been erased among mortals."
"No way, so cruel?"
"This is not cruel, but to allow the human race to develop better. In the past two hundred years, wars have continued between the vassal states. Fortunately, there are not many powerful Qi practitioners in the world. Otherwise, the casualties would have been thousands of times more intense than they are now.
Ten thousand times."
"So if I go to the capital of Chu State, does it count as violating the agreement between the Qi practitioners?"
Bai Yuan nodded, shook his head, and then explained with gestures: "Your cultivation level is not high. Generally speaking, as long as you are not massacring ordinary people on a large scale, no cultivators will care about you...
In fact, those hermit cultivators are also very busy, thinking only about how to break the void and ascend to the spiritual world, so I can take care of you if I can."
"Lao Bai, how about going to Yuyi with me first, and then I go to live in seclusion with you?"
"Why?"
"If we leave without saying goodbye now, we may trap the county official to death. The plan at that time was to use his introduction and then try to get into the upper echelons of Chu State. The news has been sent to the capital urgently. If we leave suddenly without saying goodbye,
, that county magistrate may be in big trouble."
"...You are very loyal, which is good, but what can you do now that you have gone back? Are you planning to take the county magistrate to live in seclusion with you?"
"Well, if I prepare grain seeds and some methods of cultivating and planting crops, and then leave quietly, the county governor will not have to bear any consequences, but he will make great contributions."
"Didn't the human race start planting a long time ago?"
"The yield of the seeds I provide is not of the same order of magnitude as the current seeds. It can at least be increased several times..."
"I have to go back first. I'll pick you up at sunrise tomorrow morning."
"Why is this?"
"The escaped rat demon may go to my side to take revenge. Those brats can't stop it."
Although Li Xiao was a little worried about the rat demon coming to take revenge, he should be able to protect himself if he prepared in advance, so he didn't say much.
"Don't worry, that rat demon is a little afraid of you. As long as you don't take the initiative to seek revenge, he probably won't come to you for revenge... at least not in a short time."
"Why are you afraid of me?"
"I don't know why the rat demon is afraid of you, but if that guy wasn't afraid of you, you and I would have been eaten by that guy when I was injured in the sneak attack."
…
The two people walking at the front of the team chatted for a long time. When they arrived at the riverside, the white ape said goodbye and left. They also wanted to test how powerful the white ape was, and deliberately gave him nearly three hundred kilograms of meat as a gift.
Test bear meat.
The euphemistic name was to provide some nutrition to his little brats, but in fact, he just wanted to see how this person could carry a barbecue that was almost three times heavier than his body weight across the river.
The result was indeed shocking. The white ape carrying a large amount of barbecued meat jumped up and rushed directly to the river. The moment it touched the river, his legs and hands pushed out of the water.
The water surface exploded directly, and after a loud noise, Lao Bai, who was carrying a large amount of barbecue, jumped several meters high with the impact of the explosion on the water surface, and at the same time, he slid down more than ten meters.
The moment he touched the water again, he smacked down hard, and the water exploded again. His figure once again rose several meters, and he jumped more than ten meters before...
Amidst the muffled thunderous explosions, in just a moment the white ape rushed to the other side carrying nearly three hundred kilograms of barbecue.
This situation was not only dumbfounded by a group of soldiers, but Li Xiao was also shocked.
I originally thought that Lao Bai knew some magical lightness skills, but I never expected to use this extremely simple and crude way to walk on the waves. In fact, this way of walking on the waves is better than any other lightness skills.
A bit shocking.
According to the explanations of some research institutions, if a creature similar to humans wants to ride the waves, their muscle explosive power must be increased by 10 times.
If you want to carry a bunch of things heavier than your own body weight and walk on the waves, your muscle explosive strength must at least double.
But Lao Bai, carrying the bear meat that was a bit heavier than himself, still looked very relaxed as he flew across the river. It seemed that he had not measured how much higher that guy's explosive power was than the limit state of a normal human being.
times.
