Although his eyes were blank, they were not as empty and dull as before. It seemed that the effect of the medicine had worn off and his consciousness had returned.
Only then did Xu You realize that this young man was about the same age as him, still a teenager, and his pale face looked a bit immature.
A trace of blood appeared on the young boy's face, and his eyes gradually became clearer as he looked at Xu You. He moved his bloodless lips and said weakly: "Did you save me?"
Xu You nodded. Ordinary people usually have insufficient reaction for a period of time after waking up from a coma. This young man can speak, which proves that his mind is very clear.
"We are now..." the immature boy asked weakly.
"The spiritual cultivator who captured us is dead. We are safe." Xu You understood what he meant and replied.
A trace of surprise flashed in the young boy's eyes, and then turned into joy: "If you can kill a spiritual practitioner in the late spiritual stage, you must be a senior in the spiritual stage. Please save me..."
Xu You shook his head and said: "I have just cultivated into a spiritual body, and it was purely a coincidence that I was able to kill him. Do you have anything to say?"
The immature boy's face froze. He understood Xu You's meaning and couldn't help but show fear: "Am I... going to die?"
Xu You was silent.
When the young boy saw this, he couldn't help but despair, and murmured: "I don't want to die, I really don't want to die, please, please save me..."
Xu You thought for a while, took out a medicine bottle from the storage bracelet, and poured out a few vermilion pills: "I don't know about pills. I got them from the spiritual cultivator who caught us. Can you see if you can
Treat your own injuries?”
The immature boy showed hope at first, but then immediately dimmed: "This is Yuanyang Pill, a top-notch low-grade spiritual pill. Although it is very precious, its main function is to assist in cultivation, and it is of no use in treating injuries."
Xu You took out another medicine bottle and poured out a few white pills, but the immature boy still shook his head.
"Then I have no choice." Xu You sighed. These were the only two elixirs he got, in addition to the cyan elixir of Lu Ping's charming mind, and some trauma drugs, which were not suitable for immature teenagers.
In fact, this young man was on the verge of death and there was basically no cure. Xu You did this just to show his inner feelings.
"Forget it... life and death are determined by fate, wealth is in the sky, thank you brother, you are a good person, if it were someone else, you would be fine if you didn't beat me to death with one palm." The immature boy said in a frustrated manner, as if he also knew the difficulty.
Change your fate and calm down instead.
Xu You actually admired this immature boy. Few people could be so calm before death.
"My name is Lei Chen, and I am a member of the Lei family, a second-level spiritual cultivation family in the northwest. May I ask... what is your brother's name?" the young boy said.
"My name is Xu You, and I am a casual cultivator." Xu You said.
"Brother Xu..." Lei Chen looked very pale, "I don't have much time, I don't complain about my bad luck, it's all fate... But I really don't want to be exposed in the wilderness, so I want to ask you one last thing,
After I die, can you take my body back to Lei’s house?”
Xu You listened silently, without speaking or expressing his position.
Although he admires Lei Chen, it does not mean that he will help him unconditionally. What's more, if he sends a corpse back to the Lingxiu family, if he can't explain it clearly, he might get into trouble again.
Lei Chen's breathing became rapid: "Brother Xu, I know this is a difficult task, but I won't let your help go in vain... You are a casual cultivator, so you definitely lack the cultivation techniques, spiritual skills, and various resources. I
He is the son of Lei Zhenshan, the head of the Lei family. If you agree, I can record the jade slip of spiritual consciousness. As long as you send my body home, I will ask my father to accept you as a disciple with a different surname. This is better than being a casual cultivator.
many."
Xu You's heart moved and he began to ponder.
He was just thinking about going to see which sect or family would recruit disciples, and Lei Chen's suggestion came at the right time.
Lei Chen saw that he seemed to be moving, and said with difficulty: "Brother Xu, in addition to this condition, I still have a few jade slips on my body, which I will give to you... There is a silver jade slip that records the secret of an ancient secret realm... It's
I got it accidentally in an ancient tomb, and originally I wanted to give it to my family, but as a reward... I will give this opportunity to you, but you'd better... have enough strength... before you go out and try it."
Seeing that he was sincere, Xu You couldn't help but sigh slightly, nodded and said, "I promise you."
Lei Chen's face showed excitement and he choked with sobs: "Thank you, Brother Xu, I know you are not after the secrets of the ancient secret realm... As long as I die, everything on me will be yours."
Xu You said: "No need to thank me. If you let me become a descendant of the Lei family, you will have done me a great favor. By the way, where is your Lei family in the northwest? Do you have a map?"
"Yes..." Lei Chen said with difficulty, "The jade slip in my arms contains a map with a radius of thousands of miles, and there is also a blank jade slip. Brother Xu, please help me take it out so that I can enter it with my spiritual sense. You can take it
Return to Lei's house as a voucher."
Xu You reached into his arms and took out four jade slips. After examining them with his spiritual sense, he took out the blank jade slips and put them in his hand.
Lei Chen's face became paler and paler, and his breathing became more rapid. He held the jade slip and recorded it with his spiritual consciousness with all his strength.
After a moment, he signaled with his eyes that Xu You took the jade slip and whispered: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Thank you Brother Xu..." Lei Chen said with difficulty, trying to show a bright smile, "Tell my parents that I love them and will always love them... and Qing Lan, I failed her and asked her to... find
Marry a good man..."
His voice became low, and he murmured not knowing what to say. Tears flowed from his eyes and ran across his face, making him look particularly sad.
Xu You turned his back and waited for a long time until there was complete silence behind him, then turned around and slowly smoothed Lei Chen's open eyes.
The last drop of clear tears slowly flowed from the corners of the young boy's eyes.
At this time, the sky was already dark. Xu You was seriously injured and was unwilling to light the torch to cause trouble to the wild beasts in the mountains. So he sat down on the ground and began to meditate.
One night passed, and at dawn in the morning, Xu You opened his eyes.
This was the first night of complete practice after he became a spiritual practitioner. He felt very good. His spiritual consciousness visited him, and even his internal injuries were 60 to 70% healed, and his movements were no longer hindered.
Xu You walked out of the ancient cave, picked up some branches and dead grass, and came back. After lighting a fire, he first took out some food from the storage bracelet to fill his stomach. Then he dragged out the dead bones and the bodies of Lu Ping and others in the secret room, and dug out a
Buried in a deep pit.
His original plan was to leave immediately, but after looking at the jade slip map left by Lei Chen, this idea changed.
Lei's home in the northwest is very far away from here, at least two thousand miles away, which means that it will take two months to get to Lei's home. Although the weather is not hot now, in just one month, Lei Chen's body will also
Rotten.
Although Lingxiu's corpse might be different, Xu You naturally didn't dare to take the risk.
"I wonder if the jade slips I got contain any spiritual skills related to coldness. If so, I can learn it first and then freeze Lei Chen's body and preserve it." Xu You thought to himself.
He got a jade slip from the spiritual disciple of the Lu family he killed, Lu Ping also had two jade slips, and the two jade slips he got from the cave, plus the four jade slips from Lei Chen, a total of nine
A jade slip.
Xu You is no stranger to jade slips. They are also commonly used in spiritual practice. They are not considered treasures. They can be read with spiritual sense and things can be entered into them. It is a bit like a CD on earth, which is very convenient.
He checked them one by one with his spiritual sense and found that the jade slips of the Lu family's spiritual disciples were just an ordinary spiritual manual with no real content. However, Xu You knew almost nothing about the spiritual world, so this manual could help him understand it.
Lu Ping's two jade slips were both spiritual arts, but they looked very complicated, so Xu You simply brushed them off. With his level, he could not yet practice advanced spiritual arts.
As for the two jade slips in the ancient cave mansion, one is a gold-based skill, and the other is a supporting spiritual skill. However, the complexity is still higher than Lu Ping's spiritual skill, so Xu You naturally did not study it in depth.
Finally, he found a surprise from the four jade slips on Lei Chen's body.
Among these four jade slips, one is the voucher that Lei Chen entered with his spiritual sense, one is a map with a brief description, and the other is silver, which is probably the ancient secret realm Lei Chen mentioned. The last jade slip is
Jane, on the other hand, recorded various basic spiritual techniques.
Xu You was overjoyed. Now he didn't know any other spiritual skills except the magic of magic and spiritual consciousness stab. This last jade slip was a timely help to him.
So he left in no hurry. Anyway, there was plenty of food and water in the storage bracelet. He carefully cleaned up the cave, closed the stone door, and began to practice.
Although there was no one to give guidance, basic spiritual arts were the simplest spiritual arts, and the jade slips were recorded in great detail. There were training points, key tips, and light and shadow records. Xu You was very talented and quickly mastered them.
Essence.
The first thing he mastered was the ice technique. After using it several times in succession, Xu You finally froze Lei Chen's body in a piece of hard and transparent ice.
Next is the fireball technique, golden sword technique, entanglement technique, earth wall technique...
This is the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth magic that is the easiest to use among basic spiritual arts. It is very similar to the Western magic that Xu You heard about before traveling through time. However, after reading the spiritual practice manual, Xu You knew that the two are completely different.
different.
Although basic spiritual arts only have a single attribute and are very simple to perform, as the level increases, spiritual arts will gradually become more complex, including not only multiple attribute attacks, but also more changes, focusing on power and speed.
and skills, all three in one.
However, for spiritual cultivation in the early stages of the spiritual realm, it is considered very good to be able to fully master all basic spiritual techniques.
Only then did Xu You understand why he was able to kill Chang Shan in the first place. At close range, if the spiritual body cannot effectively perform spiritual arts in the early stage, the threat is indeed not as great as that of a brave mortal warrior.
But when encountering a strong person like Lu Ping, who has a late-stage spirit body, his spiritual skills come from the heart, and they are no longer something that a mortal warrior can resist.;
