As Li Nanxing expected, Taoist Tiangang Zhengqi, as well as soul-taking and yin-yang techniques are indeed much easier to practice than Taixuan Tianxu Tao.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Nanxing finally completed the practice of these three different techniques.
In addition, he also consolidated the two skills of Mo Ke Palm and Shen Jie Finger, which further improved his cultivation and reached the peak of the tenth level of Qi refining.
"According to this, as long as I take the Qi Gathering Pill, I can break through the tenth level of Qi Refining and become a foundation-building monk."
Li Nanxing suddenly felt impatient. You must know that the Qi refining period is only the first small stage of cultivation, and it is a bit embarrassing to even get started.
Only by reaching the foundation-building realm can one grow the holy fetus, thus laying a good foundation for the future path of cultivation.
call....
Li Nanxing put away his spiritual consciousness, exited the pagoda, and decided to go to the alchemy room.
After practicing for so long, I don’t know if Ruan Xingxian helped him refine the Qi Gathering Pill.
Arriving at the alchemy room, Li Nanxing looked around but found no one.
Just when he was about to go out, he saw Jingxuan, who had short double-bun hair, slowly walking over with a bamboo basket in her hand.
Behind her were two servants dressed in coarse linen clothes. They looked to be about forty years old, and they were also carrying bamboo baskets in their hands.
It's just that the bamboo baskets in the hands of these two people are more than twice as big as the ones in Jingxuan's hands.
Li Nanxing stepped forward, glanced at the bamboo basket in Jingxuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Jingxuan, what is in the basket?"
Jingxuan glanced at him. For some reason, she always felt that the smile was a bit strange, but she couldn't explain why. She scratched her head and said, "It's nothing, they are all medicinal materials collected from the mountains."
"I wonder if they are all those precious medicinal materials?" Li Nanxing was at a loss for words.
Jingxuan stared at those clear and bright eyes and said: "There are so many, there are snake fungus, dendrobium, anomatis, black ginseng, purple lingzhi... Oh, by the way, there is also the Yuan Gu
flower."
"It's quite a lot. I didn't expect that at such a young age, your mastery of medicinal materials has reached this level. No wonder the master asked you to take care of the alchemy room."
Li Nanxing said, he couldn't help but pat the double bun on her head with his hand. This little girl is really cute!
Jingxuan felt a little uncomfortable being patted by Li Nanxing, so she quickly took his hand away and rolled her eyes: "If I guess correctly, you are here for the Qi Gathering Pill, right?"
"Do you know the Qi Gathering Pill?" Li Nanxing said with excitement on his face. You must know that the Qi Gathering Pill is the key to his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"I don't know!" Jingxuan shook her head.
"Then how do you know I'm here for the Qi Gathering Pill?"
"I'm just talking nonsense, can't I?" After saying that, he carried the bamboo basket and walked towards the inner hall.
Seeing Jingxuan entering, the two servants hurriedly chose to follow, leaving Li Nanxing standing there alone in deep thought.
"This little girl is not very young, but she has quite a stubborn temper."
Li Nanxing didn't believe that Jingxuan didn't know about the Qi Gathering Pill. You must know that when he handed the Xuyang Spirit Grass to Ruan Xingxian, this little girl was not present.
Since she can name the Qi Gathering Pill, it means she still knows some inside information.
Walking into the inner hall, Li Nanxing saw Jingxuan busy selecting medicinal materials, and said bravely: "Jingxuan, tell me honestly, did the master tell you about the Qi Gathering Pill? Where is his old man now?"
Taking the Minyuan Gu flower out of the bamboo basket and putting it into another bamboo basket, Jingxuan said to Li Nanxing: "I don't know, but if you can give me some benefits, maybe I will help you."
"What benefits do you want?" Li Nanxing realized something was wrong. Although he felt like he was being tricked, he still wanted to hear what benefits this innocent-looking female Taoist girl could ask for from him.
Jingxuan thought for a moment, and finally stretched out a hand and said: "Just give me some treasures, spiritual stones or jewelry, whatever."
"At such a young age, you actually dare to blackmail me. Aren't you afraid that I will complain to the master?" Li Nanxing decided to punish the little girl, so he patted her hand.
Jingxuan stared at the man in front of her in astonishment with her clear and charming big eyes, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes.
When she reacted, she quickly withdrew her little hand and continued to focus on selecting medicinal materials, ignoring Li Nanxing.
Li Nanxing approached him again. No matter how he tried to strike up a conversation, Jingxuan remained silent, as if she was determined not to take any further notice.
Li Nanxing shrugged and decided to use his ultimate move. He didn't believe that this little girl didn't tell him about the Qi Gathering Pill.
So, Li Nanxing took out a golden hairpin from the storage bag.
This golden hairpin was given to him by a childhood friend in Yuzhou.
There are six pearls inlaid on it. The closer to the front, the larger the pearls are.
According to expert assessment, if this thing were to be sold on the market, it would cost at least two thousand taels of silver.
Li Nanxing held a gold hairpin in his hand and deliberately showed off in front of Jingxuan: "What a beautiful hairpin, especially the two largest pearls on the pearl flower, they are so beautiful!"
"Take your hairpin and get out of here. Don't tempt me here again."
Seeing that she was angry, Li Nanxing said: "As long as you tell me about the Qi Gathering Pill, I will give you this hairpin."
"real?"
Jingxuan looked happy and quickly grabbed the gold hairpin from Li Nanxing's hand. After a long time, she said to herself: "It's so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful hairpin in my life!"
"Hey, don't be too eager to be happy. You haven't told me about the Qi Gathering Pill yet." Li Nanxing reminded me.
For fear of losing the gold hairpin, Jingxuan quickly put it behind her and took a few steps back, saying: "This hairpin belongs to me. You should go to Langting now. When you see the lady, you might be able to get the Qi Gathering Pill."

——————
Langting.
It is located on the west side of the main hall of Piaoxiang Valley, not far from Qingzhi Pavilion.
It is also the location of Mo Qingxuan’s boudoir.
Not only is it surrounded by mountains and rivers, there are also many water pavilions and pavilions built around it.
It can be said to be the elegant courtyard with the best environment among all the buildings in Piaoxiang Valley.
Entering Langting and passing near the waterside pavilion.
Li Nanxing was stopped by several maids headed by Ni Xue.
After asking about the purpose of their visit, Ni Xue and several maids around her yelled at Li Nanxing to go back quickly, saying that it was the lady's boudoir and no one could approach it.
Li Nanxing looked depressed, so he had to explain the reason to several maids in detail, saying that he was not an outsider, but Mo Qingxuan's future husband.
When all the maids heard this, their jaws almost dropped. Among them, Ni Xue and a maid in yellow were the most shocked.
The maid in yellow is named Ni Shuang.
Like Ni Xue, she is the most considerate maid around Mo Qingxuan.
However, the two of them only knew that Ruan Xingxian had rescued a man from outside and accepted him as his disciple, but they knew nothing about the others.
"Ni Shuang, do you think this is possible?"
Ni Shuang, the maid in yellow clothes, nodded and said: "It seems that this is indeed the case, but since it is the young lady's order, now I can only feel sorry for this prospective uncle."
"In this case, then drive him out of Langting!"
Li Nanxing saw that something was wrong, his eyes stayed on Ni Xue for a moment, and said: "Ni Xue, you and I have met several times. You should know something about me, right?"
"I did hear the lady mention you, but they were not good words."
When Li Nanxing heard this, his eyes immediately became excited: "What did she say?"
"The lady told me that she hasn't had a good day since you came to Piaoxiang Valley, and she also said that you are very annoying."
Li Nanxing couldn't help but want to vomit blood. He didn't expect Mo Qingxuan to say that to him. However, in order to find out more what he wanted to know, he could only pretend not to care at the moment and said: "That's it. Is there anything else?"
Ni Xue thought for a while and said: "No more!"
"How not?"
The maid named Ni Shuang said to Li Nanxing: "Miss also said that if she hadn't carried you back from outside and changed your dressing and cleaned your wounds, you wouldn't even know how you died."
Li Nanxing was completely speechless. Just when he was about to rush in, he was dragged out by these people.
"Let me go and let me in!"
Li Nanxing didn't want to be violent with these maids, but looking at the scene in front of him, it would be difficult to pass this level if he didn't deal with these maids.
While thinking, Li Nanxing took out a jade bottle from his body. After opening the bottle cap, a scent filled the entire courtyard.
"Wow...it smells so good. What is this?" Several maids surrounded Li Nanxing and asked about the origin of this thing.
His eyes swept over Ni Xue and others, and Li Nanxing said with a half-smile: "This is a beauty pill. You only need to take one pill to stay youthful forever. If you want, let me in."
"Zhu Yan Dan, that's great!" Several maids suddenly cheered.
Just when these people were about to let Li Nanxing in, Ni Xue and Ni Shuang suddenly became anxious.
The two came to the side and had a brief discussion.
If he lets Li Nanxing pass, he will definitely be blamed by Mo Qingxuan, but if he doesn't let him go, he won't get the Zhuyan Pill.
After much thought, the two girls decided to let Li Nanxing in. After all, things like Zhu Yan Dan were too tempting to them.
Under the guidance of the maid, Li Nanxing came to Mo Qingxuan's boudoir. At this time, the latter was lying on a soft big bed made of rosewood under the hollow carved window canopy.
Li Nanxing approached gently and saw that Mo Qingxuan's eyes were tightly closed, and his long and narrow eyelashes were like a small fan, casting a faint shadow.
"Oh... let's come back later."
Li Nanxing was worried that Mo Qingxuan suddenly woke up. If he was caught as a pervert and went to the master to complain, even if he had a hundred mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain clearly.
The most urgent thing is to leave as soon as possible.
"Junior Brother Li, you've already come, why bother leaving in a hurry?"
Li Nanxing turned around and saw Mo Qingxuan lying on the bed, pillowing his head with his hands while looking at him with strange eyes.
"Senior sister, are you not asleep?"
"It's so noisy outside, how can I sleep?"
After Mo Qingxuan finished speaking, he slowly stood up, then took off the Su Xin Sword hanging on the bedside and placed it on Li Nanxing's neck.
"Senior sister, what do you mean?" With a smile on his face, Li Nanxing gently pushed the Su Xin Sword aside with his hand.
When Mo Qingxuan saw it, she put the Su Xin Sword on Li Nanxing's neck again and said in a cold tone: "You broke into my boudoir without permission with evil intentions. If the master knows about it, I wonder what she will think?"
"Senior sister, I don't want to take you to play like this, right? I came here to..."
Before Li Nanxing could finish speaking, Mo Qingxuan said, "What do you want?"
"I came here to ask you if you have seen the master, and whether the Qi Gathering Pill he promised to refine for me is ready."
When Mo Qingxuan heard this, his face changed and he said: "Li Nanxing, if it weren't for you, the master would not be injured. You don't care about his old man's injury. You still want the Qi Gathering Pill. Do you have any conscience?"
Li Nanxing suddenly panicked and quickly explained: "Sister, it's not what you think!"
"What exactly is that?"
Li Nanxing felt that he could not explain it clearly, so he had to say loudly to Mo Qingxuan: "Sister, I know that you have a big prejudice against me because of this incident, but please believe that I am more sad than anyone else. That's right.
, If you feel unbalanced, you can find someone to vent to, but who should I talk to about my sadness?" After saying that, Li Nanxing turned and left.
"Wait a minute!"
Mo Qingxuan caught up with Li Nanxing and handed a wooden box into his hand: "After you left yesterday, the master went to the secret room. I helped you refine this Qi Gathering Pill."
Putting the wooden box away, Li Nanxing took a deep look at Mo Qingxuan.
No wonder this girl looked unhappy when she saw him. It turned out that he had unintentionally caused her trouble again.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Nanxing said thank you and left, but was unexpectedly caught up by Mo Qingxuan again.
"Sister, is there anything else going on?"
"I just had a bad attitude and even drew a sword against you. You shouldn't be angry with me, right?" Mo Qingxuan asked tentatively.
"That's not true. Master and senior sister have been kind to me. How could I blame you? Besides, senior sister also helped me refine this Qi Gathering Pill."
"One last thing, I told Ni Xue and the others not to let you in. How did you get in?"
"Those girls want to stop me. You must be looking down on me."
Mo Qingxuan's expression changed. The reason why she asked Ni Xue and the others to stay outside was because she expected that Li Nanxing would not dare to attack them.
However, when he heard Li Nanxing's last words, Mo Qingxuan realized that he had made a wrong judgment.
