Yan Ji and Fang Qingqing were both tired and did not go back to their rooms. They fell asleep directly on the bed in Hao Shujie's room. It was very tiring to deal with these animal skins. It required mental power to control the aura to cut and soften these animal skins.
Skin.
Hao Shujie, on the other hand, was fascinated by his book, leaning against the wall and unaware of the world outside.
The night is getting dark, the cold wind is strong, snowflakes are falling from the sky, falling in the green fence garden, the old locust trees are shivering with the cold wind, as if they can't stand such severe cold. This period is the coldest season in Yuxu, the sect
The annual competition is also scheduled during this time. The participation in the competition is from all the masters in the line to the disciples working in the sect. It is held in stages. This competition is related to the amount of cultivation resources obtained in the coming year.
Some conflicts between disciples will also be resolved in this small competition. However, in order to protect the disciples with lower realms, only disciples with the same realm are allowed to challenge. If low-level disciples challenge high-level disciples, most of them will pass.
, but it is forbidden for high-level disciples to challenge low-level disciples.
In Yuxu, the punishment for private fights is very severe, ranging from facing the wall and thinking about one's faults, planting rice seedlings, to being kicked out of the sect and losing one's cultivation. Because this sect rule is effectively enforced, even though there are many people in Yuxu,
There are many children of wealthy families, descendants of cultivating families, and even royal children of the Three Kingdoms, especially the Great Shang Kingdom, but there are very few incidents of private fights based on one's status.
Gu Yuli only found out about this later. She was still concentrating on mixing the ice crystal snow. After incorporating most of the cinnabar, the speed slowed down for some reason. When she reached Dongfang Ma Liang, she was still not as big as a fingernail.
Gu Yuli was a little impatient at first, but later discovered that controlling the spiritual energy to prepare cinnabar could temper the spiritual energy in her own body. It turned out that most of the spiritual energy in it was not obtained by her own cultivation, but from taking the life-sustaining spirit flower in the ancient medicine garden at that time.
Come.
Senior Brother Hao is right. The spiritual energy obtained through meditation and the spiritual energy obtained from external objects have similar effects on fitting the muscles and veins. However, there is still a difference when it comes to nourishing the growth of Yuanli seeds, but there is no difference.
It is not obvious. Generally speaking, ordinary cultivators cannot feel it. If Gu Yuli had not prepared cinnabar this time and used the water element contained in the Yuanli seeds to control it carefully. Otherwise, she would not have discovered these two things.
the difference between them.
Gu Yuli also discovered that by controlling the spiritual energy, constantly using the scattered spiritual energy in the inner palace, and the pure spiritual energy contained in the Yuanli seeds, the externally refined spiritual energy can be partially purified.
This process is very slow. If the sea of consciousness opens after the foundation is established, and spiritual power can be mobilized, perhaps one or two things can be explored. Now, Gu Yuli can only feel this change, but cannot find the reason for it.
As time passed, Gu Yuli reached the final step of preparing ice cinnabar, and the resistance from the ice crystal snow reached its strongest. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Gu Yuli's forehead, and she knew that the next step of fusion was
, very important. If it fails, this ice crystal snow will probably be useless.
The psychological pressure and the resistance from Bing Jingxue made her face pale.
"Senior Brother, are Junior Sister Gu okay?" Yan Ji made breakfast and when she returned to the house, she saw Gu Yuli looking like this. She couldn't help but feel worried, and turned to ask Hao Shujie, who was reading a book.
Hao Shujie held the book and read it with gusto, as if he didn't hear it.
Yan Ji had no choice but to put the tray on the table, take Hao Shujie's book, and said: "Senior Brother Hao, stop reading. Look at Junior Sister Gu quickly, something seems to be wrong."
Fang Qingqing sat at the table, scooped out a bowl of porridge and ate it by herself. When she saw Yan Ji pushing Senior Brother Hao, Fang Qingqing felt a little unhappy and said: "It must be that the spiritual energy has been used up. If you can't do it yourself, don't force it."
Come on, if you get hurt, we will be scolded by real people."
Hao Shujie didn't have time to care, so he put his palm on Gu Yuli's vest, wanting to see if the spiritual energy in Gu Yuli's inner palace was really exhausted.
"Are you speaking in human language?" Yan Ji walked over and snatched the porridge bowl from Fang Qingqing's hand. She even grabbed Fang Qingqing's chopsticks and threw them away. In terms of cultivation, the two of them were almost the same, but if they really fought,
Fang Qingqing is no match for Yan Ji. Last year, Fang Qingqing didn't even finish three rounds in the competition at Yan Ji's disposal.
Fang Qingqing stamped her feet and glared at Yan Ji: "You...you...you go too far!" She grabbed the bowl and threw the chopsticks. After all, she, Fang Qingqing, was also raised by Master Xiao Shi, and everyone else treated her like her.
It’s the granddaughter of Master Xiao Shi.
Yan Ji's next words were even more irritating. She raised her chin and looked at Fang Qingqing with disdain: "I'm just bullying you. Why don't you tell your real person? You can't even touch something that you can complain about in private."
I don’t dare to bang, and I still ridicule others for not knowing what they can do.”
Fang Qingqing's face turned green and red as she glared at Yan Ji. She couldn't do anything to her, so she waved her hand, turned around and left, leaving behind harsh words: "Huh, wait and see for our junior rivals."
"Compete with each other, I'm afraid you won't even be able to take one of my moves by then." Yan Ji is quite confident in applying magic in actual combat. Although many immortal sects and aristocratic families also pay attention to the actual combat training of their disciples and juniors, in this world,
I'm afraid no one will be as strict as the Loulan royal family.
In fact, Yan Ji and Gu Yuli didn't have much of a friendship. After all, Gu Yuli had only been in Qingli Garden for a few days. She simply couldn't stand Fang Qingqing. Yan Ji was a woman with a sweet personality, and she seemed to be in love with her.
Hao Shujie will never be secretive, but pursues openly.
This is related to the educational tradition of the Loulan royal family. As a member of the Loulan royal family, no matter whether they are legitimate or concubine, or confirmed illegitimate children, they will go to the school in Loulan Imperial City to study at the age of three, and will live here until they are seven or eight years old.
When you are ten years old, you can go home during the holidays, and you can study at home when you are ten years old. However, you need to go to the Imperial City Academy to take the exam. Failure to pass the exam is a very serious matter.
Such rules were set by the empress who established the Loulan Kingdom and are still in use today. It is this education model that has created many outstanding descendants of the royal family.
"Master, your old man is finally here." Fang Qingqing's deliberately high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside the door. The voice was full of grievances and mixed with sobs: "Qingqing was bullied to death by Yan Ji." This voice was very close to the door.
A few points.
Yan Ji felt contempt in her heart, Fang Qingqing had no other skills and was the best at complaining.
She walked out the door without even looking at Fang Qingqing, and said to Master Xiao Shi: "Master, please come and take a look. There seems to be something wrong with the ice cinnabar prepared by Junior Sister Gu."
Master Xiao Shi nodded. After he entered the room, he saw a female doll frowning slightly. She was holding cinnabar and ice crystal snow in her hands. Sweat was rolling down her forehead, and her face was a little pale.
His eyes fell back on the ice crystal snow that had almost completely turned red. It was sparkling and contained extremely rich ice elements, and these ice elements seemed to be a little less inert and more active than ordinary ones.
How did this nun do it?
Master Xiao Shi was greatly surprised. Unless this female cultivator had mutated ice spiritual roots or pure water spiritual roots, she would need an extremely rich and pure water element to be able to do this.
Fang Qingqing saw that Master Xiao Shi had not spoken for a long time. She thought that Master Xiao Shi was angry and was afraid of implicating Senior Brother Hao, so she stood aside and said: "Master, you don't even know how arrogant this new handyman disciple is.
, Senior Brother Hao obviously said that he would make the ice cinnabar, but she refused to listen. She insisted on making it by herself because she was purely spiritual and water-based. You also know that Senior Brother Hao has a soft temper, so it is best to speak up.
Don't blame him."
Yan Ji felt angry: "Fang Qingqing, shut up."
"Shut up? Huh, you are colluding with this new handyman disciple. I think this handyman disciple was sent by your Loulan." Fang Qingqing directed the fire to Yan Ji.
Master Xiao Shi waved his hand helplessly: "Qingqing, stop fooling around. Also, Yanji, please stop saying a few words. How can you be so cruel to your junior sister? Just give Qingqing some trouble."
Yanji's eyes widened: "Let me apologize to her, don't even think about it." She folded her arms and sat on the chair angrily.
Fang Qingqing took Master Xiao Shi's arm and shook it: "Master, look at her."
Master Xiao Shi couldn't laugh or cry. He really didn't look like a real person. He picked up Qingqing on the roadside and brought her to Qingyun Palace. After watching this child grow up for so many years, he had already regarded Qingqing as his granddaughter.
Master Xiao Shi also has no descendants. When he was young, he once had a love affair. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable and his lover left before him. He never found her and was only obsessed with the research and production of talismans and seals.
Fang Qingqing is his only family member. Even if he knows that Qingqing is wrong, he will still defend her.
"Okay, okay." Master Xiao Shi had no choice but to appease Fang Qingqing and quietly sent her a message: "I made something good for you. When the time comes, you will definitely be able to defeat Yan Ji. Stop making trouble now.
If you make trouble, I will give this thing to others."
When Fang Qingqing heard this, she immediately beamed with joy and stopped making trouble. She had been looking forward to it for a year to be able to make Yan Ji stand down in the small competition in embarrassment.
Master Xiao Shi's ears were considered clean. He came to Gu Yuli's side, placed his right hand between his eyebrows, "Open!" The spiritual power in the sea of consciousness converged into white light, which shone on the ice crystal snow on Gu Yuli's palm.
Master Xiao Shi has been researching and making talismans for many years and has a very strong mental power. He quickly discovered the reason why the ice crystal snow had difficulties in fusion in the last step. The ice crystal snow that had been blended into cinnabar was mixed with the female doll's own spiritual energy. In this situation, he
It is unavoidable. After all, the fusion of two different substances requires the spiritual energy of the cultivator as a medium to communicate. And this female doll may not be able to use mental power, or her mental power is too weak, so she uses her own pure spiritual root water attribute.
Characteristics, prompting the ice element to become active, thereby accepting cinnabar.
This is a very good idea.
If this female doll has abundant aura and strong mental strength, the fusion of ice cinnabar will be perfect. Let him do it by himself, but it will be nothing more than that. Unfortunately, this female doll is not high in cultivation and can no longer suppress the active energy.
There are many ice elements, but they don't want to give up, so they appear pale and have signs of unstable spiritual energy.
However, with his mental power, he could tell at a glance that the female doll's spiritual energy had not been exhausted. Instead, there were faint signs of breakthrough due to the confrontation with the ice element, which made him somewhat interested in the female doll in front of him. (
