Liu Qingning was frightened by the fierce light in the black python's eyes, and then turned around and ran away without hesitation.
After returning to Qianling Mountain, Liu Qingning immediately began to retreat, on the one hand to recover the lost blood essence, and on the other hand, she wanted to use the Xuanshui Lingzhu to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
This retreat lasted for three years, and with the help of the Xuanshui Lingzhu, she successfully advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
This surprised her inexplicably, and she tasted the sweetness of this treasure. Moreover, she wanted to continue practicing with this Xuanshui Lingzhu. Even if one day she could reach the late stage of Golden Elixir or even the Great Perfection, it was not impossible.
She had never mentioned the matter of possessing the Xuanshui Spirit Pearl to anyone, and no one knew about the cave under the waterfall. The three people who explored with her had all been buried in the mouth of the black python.
The two one-eyed guardian stone beasts outside the door are the extremely precious Xuanshui Lingzhu, so there may be even more precious treasures behind the stone door.
After several years of thinking, Liu Qingning can almost conclude that the stone mansion behind the waterfall should be an ancient cave mansion, and judging from the mottled stone door, it has at least experienced thousands of years of erosion.
The only thing that puzzled her was why the black python was suddenly locked by a dark chain when it was chasing her for about ten miles?
At first she thought it was a passing immortal cultivator who came to help, but after thinking about it for a long time, she felt that the possibility was extremely low. If someone could really subdue the black python, it would be absolutely impossible to discover Shifu, and it might not be possible.
Allow yourself to leave calmly.
The affairs of Shi Mansion were deeply buried in her heart. However, after breaking through to the middle stage of Golden Core, although her realm was still improving, she felt something was wrong.
Speaking of this, Liu Qingning stopped, and her pretty face became paler.
He paused before continuing to speak.
Since she obtained this Xuanshui Spiritual Bead, she has been collecting the Xuanshui Spiritual Bead into her Dantian every day, using it to accelerate the speed of absorbing spiritual energy.
Over the past year or so, she realized something was wrong.
After speaking, Liu Qingning rolled up her sleeves and robe in front of Xiao Lin, revealing a section of her snow-white arms.
Xiao Lin looked at Liu Qingning's arms that were like mutton fat, but his face showed an expression of surprise, and his brows wrinkled slightly.
It turned out that there were fine black scales growing on the top of Liu Qingning's arm. Judging from their position, it was obvious that the entire elbow and above were covered by such black scales.
Xiao Lin casually flicked out a tiny sword light and struck the scales lightly.
"Qiang." There was a sound of gold and iron.
Xiao Lin's face was full of surprise. These black scales seemed to be somewhat similar to the golden scales that appeared when he practiced the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, but in fact they were not the same thing.
In the final analysis, the golden scales that appear when Xiao Lin performs the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique are the condensation of his own energy and blood. It is a state that manifests itself when this technique has been practiced to a certain level.
The black scales on Liu Qingning's arms were far less defensive than Jin Lin's condensed Qi and blood.
If the sword light released by Xiao Lin was more concentrated, he could easily cut it open.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, Liu Qingning is very similar to the legendary demonization, but he has never really seen the phenomenon of demonization, so he is not sure.
"Fairy Liu suspects that these black scales are related to the Xuanshui spirit bead?" Xiao Lin asked after pondering for a moment.
Liu Qingning nodded: "More than half a year ago, black scales began to appear on the little girl's body. At first, I thought she was possessed by a demon or was poisoned by some kind of poison."
"But when I was using my magic power to dispel them, I was surprised to find that these black scales could not be removed at all, and with daily practice, this phenomenon was gradually getting worse. Now, the little girl no longer dares to pass through the Xuan Shui Ling.
I have practiced pearl cultivation." Liu Qingning sighed softly and said.
"Xiao Mou can probably only apologize. This is the first time Xiao Mou has seen this situation, and there is really nothing he can do to help."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, the little lady is not here to seek treatment from you, but wants to invite Fellow Daoist Xiao to go to that stone mansion to seek opportunities. Of course, since the little girl suspects that all this is caused by the Xuanshui Lingzhu, then within the stone mansion
There is probably a way to relieve this symptom," Liu Qingning said.
Xiao Lin chuckled in his heart. After hearing Liu Qingning narrate what happened, he really became very interested in the stone mansion, but naturally he would not take the initiative to propose it.
But he wants Liu Qingning to take the initiative, so that he can take the initiative and seek more benefits.
Liu Qingning was now surrounded by these weird scales, so she naturally didn't think too much about whether she was being plotted by the person in front of her.
"I see, but that emperor-level Dzogchen monster is really difficult to deal with." Hearing this, Xiao Lin showed hesitation on his face, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
When Liu Qingning saw Xiao Lin's hesitation, a look of anxiety suddenly appeared on her pretty face.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao was able to easily kill Gu Changqing and defeat Senior Brother Long Kui in less than a cup of tea. His combat power is probably very close to that of the ancestor of Nascent Soul. With the combat power of Fellow Daoist Xiao, it is not surprising that he could kill that black python."
It’s a difficult thing.”
After a pause, he saw that there was no expression on Xiao Lin's face, and then said: "That stone mansion must be an ancient monk's training cave, and there may be many treasures in it. As long as Xiao Daoyou helps Qing Ning find and solve this scale
How about using the method, Fellow Daoist Xiao first selects one of the treasures inside?"
When Xiao Lin heard this, there was a hint of smile in his eyes: "Fairy Liu, Xiao is indeed somewhat confident in dealing with that black python, but in this way, the fairy doesn't seem to have exerted much effort."
When Liu Qingning heard this, her nose almost turned crooked with anger, and she couldn't help but greet Xiao Lin a few words in her heart. However, she had something to seek from the person in front of her at the moment, so she couldn't easily turn against him.
After thinking about it, the fact that this person could say this at least proved that he was not a hypocrite. Regarding this kind of truly villainous behavior, Liu Qingning actually let go of her grudge a little bit.
In fact, she had originally thought about telling the ancestor of the sect Hundred Beasts about the Shi Mansion, but after careful consideration, she gave up the idea. After all, she might not even be able to drink soup in front of the ancestor of Yuanying.
And the few Golden Core monks she has made friends with are mostly similar to her, either in the middle stage of the Golden Core or in the early stage of the Golden Core. Moreover, even ordinary late-stage Golden Core monks, in front of the emperor-level Dzogchen Black Python,
It’s not enough to watch either.
The battle between Xiao Lin and Nightshade Nightshade at Hongluan Peak in Dancao Mountain made her directly decide on Xiao Lin as the best candidate for cooperation.
It's just that she didn't trust Xiao Lin at the time, and this person who is now the number one golden elixir in the Tianlu Mountains, after all, had some quarrel with her because of Liu Mei Yatou's matter. If this person is a small-minded and shameless person.
However, I was undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger. As a result, the problem was not solved and all the advantages were taken by this person.
Therefore, after returning to Qianling Mountain, I also tried to inquire about Xiao Lin's character. However, after some inquiry, I found that Xiao Lin has not had any close friends since joining Dancao Mountain and usually lives alone.
In the past, apart from Master Su Qingyun, Tao Ling seemed to be my only friend.
Later, Liu Qingning got a rough understanding of Xiao Lin's character from Tao Ling through an inner disciple of Dancao Mountain. She knew that this person had a tough heart. Apart from going out for training, he basically practiced in the cave. As for ordinary communication,
, visiting friends, there is none at all.
Liu Qingning was not satisfied with this result, but there were more and more pitch-black scales on her body, and they began to spread between her arms and chest and abdomen. Even if she gave up practicing with the Mysterious Water Spirit Bead, she could not suppress the growth of the scales.
If it continues to be delayed, I'm afraid it won't be long before she is completely demonized.
That's why she decided to take some risks and bet on Xiao Lin's character, so she sent a letter to invite Xiao Lin here.
"Do Fellow Daoist Xiao want to swallow up all the treasures in the Stone Mansion? You must know that the demon plain is vast, and without the guidance of the little girl, Fellow Daoist may not be able to figure out the path even if he searches for a hundred years." Liu Qingning said angrily.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but touch his nose, knowing that he couldn't push the girl too much: "In addition to the other Xuanshui spirit bead on the stone beast at the entrance of the cave, Xiao Mou gave priority to two of the treasures in the stone mansion, and the remaining
How about an even split?"
"What if there are only two?"
"If there are only two pieces, how about Xiao choosing one first and the other one belonging to the fairy?"
After hearing these words, the anger on Liu Qingning's pretty face softened slightly, but of course she still couldn't help but slander "No grace." in her heart.
"Okay, let's allocate it according to what Fellow Daoist Xiao said."
A smile appeared on Xiao Lin's face, which made Liu Qingning even more angry, but she had no choice. Who could ask her to ask for help? Besides, there were more and more scales on her body. If she didn't solve it in time, it might affect her in the future.
of practice.
"Fairy, please lead the way."
...
Two long rays of light rose into the sky, folded slightly, and then headed towards the east.
Half a month later.
The two of them had penetrated tens of thousands of miles into the Demonic Origin, and Xiao Lin had already used the secret technique of ghost concealment to hide his figure, and Liu Qingyao had also used a secret technique of invisibility to hide his appearance.
However, the two of them were still able to sense each other through their spiritual consciousness. Of course, Xiao Lin mainly did not hide his aura, otherwise Liu Qingyao would not be able to detect Xiao Lin's traces even if they were close at hand.
Along the way, they also passed by the territory of several emperor-level monsters. However, the two of them did not get entangled with the monsters and walked around far away. After that, the two simply concealed themselves to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Brother Xiao, we'll be here in about half an hour." Liu Qingning's voice rang in Xiao Lin's ears. After spending several days together, the distance between the two seemed to have become closer.
The words are no longer so unfamiliar.
"The fairy once said that once the black python leaves the deep pool for more than ten miles, it will be locked by a dark chain?"
"That's right. If it hadn't been for being chained, Qing Ning would have died here."
