"Hee hee! Okay, okay! I will arrange food for you right now!" Bai Ruoxi was so excited when she saw this beautiful red fox that she held it in her arms and was reluctant to put it down.
You must know that although there are actually not many spiritual beasts in the human world, and every fairy sect will raise a large number of them. But in fact, there are very few spiritual beasts that are in touch with human nature, and even fewer are those that are in touch with human nature and can act coquettishly and cutely.
Already.
In fact, spiritual beasts that understand human nature can very well assist in combat. Not only do they move quickly, but they also have some very special abilities. For this reason, everyone wants to have their own spiritual pet to make up for their shortcomings in some aspects.
shortcoming.
Of course, this is often a rare thing, so good spiritual beasts will become the object of competition among cultivators.
After the red fox got this golden tail, it found that it became more beautiful and charming, and the pair of magic-breaking golden eyes were of great use, so its attitude towards Gu Changsheng became attentive. Although it ate the food prepared by Bai Ruoxi for her
Although he was eating meat, his eyes kept looking in the direction of Gu Changsheng, watching his every move.
Gu Feichen took out a brass token and injected it with spiritual power. The yellow light flashed on it, and a brown light shot out from it. It accurately hit a stone door, and all the runes on the door suddenly lit up. The result was "Creak"
After several loud "creaks", the stone door slowly rose up, revealing a passage behind the door. This passage was about ten feet high and square in shape.
"Brother, after passing this passage, there is the secret room where grandpa practiced. Let's go there now!" Gu Feichen said with a smile to Gu Changsheng after collecting the token.
"Yes!" Gu Changsheng nodded calmly and walked into the passage first.
"Although the spiritual vein of Gushan is only a small branch, the concentration of spiritual energy in this passage is much higher than outside. It seems that this passage leads to a location close to the main spiritual vein!" Gu Changsheng walked in front,
While feeling the changes in spiritual energy.
In this way, Gu Changsheng passed another equally tall stone door, finally walked out of the passage, and appeared in a circular hall seven to eight feet wide.
Gu Changsheng couldn't help but touch the stone wall on one side for a while, and not long after, a pure spiritual energy condensed on the palm of his hand!
"These are actually spiritual mines! Although they are inferior to low-level spiritual stones, they are excellent for cultivation. It is really rare for grandpa to leave such a good secret room!" Gu Changsheng said in rare admiration.
.
"This is the intersection of spiritual veins calculated by our great-grandfather of the Gu family. If it hadn't been for this secret room, Ruoxi and I would never have reached the level of cultivation we have now!" Gu Feichen explained.
After Gu Changsheng looked at it curiously, he heard Gu Feichen say:
"The circle in the center of the hall is actually a secret door. Below is where the most powerful spiritual energy gathers."
Gu Feichen immediately took out a white jade sign and pressed it against the depression. The circle immediately split into two halves and opened automatically, revealing a spiral downward staircase.
Then, the two went down the stairs to a room.
This house is a square building with an average area, only three or four feet in size. However, there is a round pier about ten feet wide in the center of the house. There is a talisman posted on each of the four walls. There are also several gray talismans in the corners not far away.
futon.
After seeing the situation in the room clearly, Gu Changsheng was slightly surprised, but before he could ask, Gu Feichen had already walked to Yuan Dun and took the initiative to explain to Gu Changsheng.
"Brother, this is the gathering center of Gushan's spiritual veins and spiritual energy. The best place to practice is here."
Then Gu Feichen pointed to the talismans on the wall and said:
"These spiritual talismans are part of the spirit gathering formation. They can temporarily enhance the concentration of spiritual energy. If the elder brother wants to activate the strongest attack formation in the medicine garden, he can use the spirit here to increase the power, but it will not last too long."
"In addition, Brother, I have put away this jade token. Once the stone staircase is closed, all contact with the outside world will be cut off. Unless the chain formation in the secret room is broken, no one can enter from the outside. So Brother, feel free to practice again.
No one will disturb you!"
After hearing this, Gu Changsheng was secretly happy. Such a completely closed environment was exactly what he needed, and he couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face!
"I plan to remove the poison from Ruoxi here, what do you think, brother?" Gu Feichen pointed at Yuandun and asked.
Gu Changsheng was speechless after hearing this, and nodded silently to express his agreement.
"I have prepared the medicinal materials according to the elder brother's prescription, and also prepared two large wooden barrels for brewing the medicinal soup. Oh, by the way, why does the elder brother Ruoxi have to prepare two large wooden barrels? Is it necessary to prepare two large wooden barrels for the medicinal soup?
Take turns soaking?" Gu Feichen said as he led Gu Changsheng to the items he had prepared and asked with a grin.
"I prepared two large wooden barrels to solve two problems at the same time. One is to get rid of Ruoxi's spiritual poison, and the other is to help you refine your bones and cleanse your marrow." Gu Changsheng carefully inspected the elixirs and detoxification piled nearby.
Utensils, he explained.
"Brother, please elaborate on the reason. I want to understand the reason." Gu Feichen's eyes shone, full of curiosity about the unknown.
"Spirit Gu is actually a small bug that lives in a cultivator's body and survives by sucking up spiritual power. You can understand this small bug as a kind of spiritual jar that stores spiritual power..." When I saw Zhuang Zhuang from Zhao
The tips of Gu Changsheng's brows twitched slightly when he got a few elixirs there, but his expression did not change. He couldn't have noticed it without careful observation.
These elixirs are not old enough, so they need to use special means to remedy them. In this case, Gu Feichen will suffer even more.
Gu Changsheng glanced at Gu Feichen meaningfully and continued:
"The spiritual Gu implanted in Ruoxi's body is a kind of maggot called 'Wood Spirit'. This kind of bug is usually enough to store the spiritual power of an ordinary cultivator for twenty years. During this period, it will transform three times, and each time it will show
The state when it comes out will be different."
"Normally speaking, the first transformation usually occurs between the eighth and tenth years, when 'wood essence' changes from non-toxic to slightly toxic. The second transformation usually occurs around the fifteenth year.
, the toxins of the 'Wood Spirit' are doubled. The third transformation is when it becomes an adult, and the 'Wood Spirit' will spit out the poison to dissolve the host."
"Ruoxi is now in the late stage of her second transformation, and her third transformation is not far away!"
"Brother, the time you mentioned doesn't match up at all! Why is it so far ahead of time?" Gu Feichen frowned slightly and stared at Gu Changsheng in confusion.
"It's not because she was practicing in this secret room. If you think about it carefully, you should be able to figure out the reason behind this." Gu Changsheng smiled bitterly, with a bit of ridicule on his face.
"You mean, the spiritual energy here is very strong, which caused Ruoxi to speed up her cultivation and charge up her 'Wood Spirit' in advance?" Gu Feichen suddenly realized.
Gu Changsheng smiled lightly and said:
"Yes, that's the truth. The Taoist priest who cast the poison at the beginning should not have expected that Ruoxi would have such an opportunity, otherwise he would have come to rob Ruoxi a long time ago. He would never have waited until now to take action. If it had been according to his original expectations
Come when the time comes, Ruo Xi should be dead long ago!"
"At that time, the Taoist will definitely deduce the unusual place, and maybe he will arrest you and force you to find out about this excellent cultivation place!"
"So, didn't I almost kill Ruoxi with my own hands!" Gu Feichen looked regretful.
"How do you say this?" Gu Changsheng was stunned for a moment and asked.
Gu Feichen lowered his head with a grimace, like a child who had done something wrong, and said timidly:
"Grandpa told me before he passed away not to take Ruoxi to practice in this secret room. I thought it was because he was partial and didn't want outsiders to come in..."
"So you made your own decisions and brought Ruoxi in, only to make her poisoned more and more deeply?" Gu Changsheng patted Gu Feichen on the shoulder and sighed softly.
"Brother, I know I was wrong, please save Ruoxi quickly!" Gu Feichen begged.
"Don't worry, fate is determined by God. If Xi's fate is not cut off, she will definitely be able to survive this crisis. And under the circumstances of a strange combination of circumstances, it also brought you a rare opportunity!" Gu
Changsheng smiled mysteriously and said.
"Opportunity?" Gu Feichen was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, your marriage is destined by God, and your fate has been tied together. It can be said that you live and die together. This can be regarded as a way for her to repay her grandfather's kindness." Gu Changsheng explained.
.
"Live and die together! Brother, you are right, if anything happens to Ruoxi, I don't want to live anymore..." Gu Feichen is an infatuated person who values Bai Ruoxi's safety more than his own life.
This time of removing the poison and refining the bones and cleansing the marrow is extremely dangerous. Gu Feichen has to endure great hardships before the two of them can successfully pass the test. At this time, he must maintain his confidence.
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng quickly encouraged:
"There is still room for redemption, don't look so sad. Let's get back to business. This 'wood spirit' is actually not difficult to remove. The biggest risk is that after the 'wood spirit' is killed, it will enter Ruoxi's body.
The sudden release of huge spiritual power will cause the spiritual pressure in Ruoxi's body to increase dramatically, so we need to find a way for her to remove the excess spiritual power."
"It happens that your body's tendons are not smooth, and you need a bone refining and marrow cleansing to help you improve your physique. And you have the three spiritual roots of water, wood, and earth. Among them, the wood spiritual root is the strongest, but it is mixed with too many impurities. Use Ruoxi
The discharged wood spirit spiritual power can help you refine the wood spirit roots and achieve the cultivation qualifications close to those of two spiritual roots."
Then Gu Changsheng turned to stare into Gu Feichen's eyes, with a serious face, and said very solemnly:
"The opportunity is rare, but the whole process will make you miserable. In order for Ruoxi to survive this, you must grit your teeth and endure it. No matter how painful your body is, you can't give up, otherwise you will all die here!"
"Brother, please don't worry. I will grit my teeth and persevere to the end for Ruoxi!"
