C15 Leeway to Resist
The two of them tried to persuade Xiao Jian but to no avail. They could only watch Xiao Jian absorb the violent energy, but the expected explosion did not happen. Xiao Jian seemed to be fine after absorbing the red energy.
In fact, it was all right.
Mu Qingxue and Mu Tianhai looked as if they had seen a ghost. Even Mu Tianhai, who was as strong as a Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, did not dare to directly absorb the violent energy of the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng.
"This …"
Mu Tianhai was speechless as he watched this scene.
This was completely against common sense. Indeed, in this kid's body, only breaking common sense was normal.
"After absorbing the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, have your cultivation improved?"
Compared to Mu Tianhai's shock, Mu Qingxue was more concerned about this.
"Of course!" Xiao Jian smiled mysteriously, and then formed a strange hand seal with his hand. A wave of Profound Qi appeared, "First Stage of the Profound Qi!"
"First Stage Profound Qi!"
Mu Qingxue didn't understand again why it was just a stage Profound Qi. For Heavenly and Earthly Treasures of the same level, if it was absorbed by an ordinary martial cultivator, it would at least be able to break through one or two levels while Xiao Jian cultivated a stage Profound Qi.
"There are a total of nine stages of Qi Refining, and each stage requires one to train in the tenth stage of the Profound Qi. However, after you consume the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, you are actually only training in the first stage of the Profound Qi!"
Mu Tianhai shook his head. He was also confused. This guy was full of mystery. He had never seen many things from him in his life.
For example, forcefully refining and absorbing the berserk medicine of the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, was this brat afraid of being pushed to death? Although Mu Tianhai said so, he was still cursing in his heart.
"My section is equivalent to someone else's section!"
Xiao Jian smiled and said. If someone else were to hear this, they would definitely think that Xiao Jian had gone mad. Why is this piece of yours equivalent to ten pieces of someone else's? This is simply ridiculous to the extreme.
"The medicinal ingredients you asked me to find all have the effect of tempering the body. Taking these medicinal herbs can increase the strength of the body. Do you intend to use this method to temper the body?"
Mu Tianhai suddenly thought of a very important problem, which was when Xiao Jian swallowed the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng.
"You're only half right!" Xiao Jian merely nodded towards Mu Tianhai's words. Then he said, "Don't worry, I won't let you do these things for nothing!"
"What are you saying, grandson-in-law? We will be family sooner or later, there's no need to be so formal." It's just that three months from now will be the day of the Five Great Academies' assessment. Sun Son-in-law's ambition to travel all over the world will be the opportunity for you to advance! "
When Mu Tianhai heard this, a hint of sharpness flashed across his eyes.
"I only know what to do with these matters!"
Xiao Jian said confidently while stroking his sleeves.
"Actually, there's nothing important for me to attend to today. I'll just personally gift you the medicinal herbs." But unfortunately, one of the Fire Spirit Ganoderma couldn't be found! "
Mu Tianhai stroked his white beard and said with a bit of pity. Since Xiao Jian needed these things, it proved that he was ambitious. Although he did not know what Xiao Jian was going to do next, and even more so, he did not know why Xiao Jian's cultivation level was so low.
"However, I did receive some information. There might be a Fire Spirit Zoysia in the Fire Mountain northwest of the Divine Burial Forest. The growth and environment of a medicinal herb like the Fire Ganoderma is extremely harsh. Usually, it grows on the edge of the extremely hot volcanic lava, and even I don't dare to go near it. However, if you need it, I can take the risk! "
Mu Tianhai said again. However, he was stopped by a gesture from Xiao Jian.
"There's no need, I'll personally make a trip to the Fire Mountain!"
"The temperature of your Fire Mountain is extremely high, and on the way to Fire Mountain, you might encounter many strong Demonic Beast. Are you sure you want to go?"
Mu Qingxue exclaimed in shock when she heard this.
"It doesn't matter. Our Xiao Family will have a young disciple's trial tomorrow. The elder will lead the group. We'll go where Fire Mountain is located, so I'll go with the group!"
Xiao Jian waved his hand and said.
"I'll go with you!"
Mu Qingxue pondered for a moment before speaking.
"No need, just a tiny Fire Mountain is not enough to keep me here!"
Xiao Jian shook his head and refused. Now, he could finally cultivate in his own body, but the speed of his cultivation was too slow. As long as he increased the strength of his body, he would be able to cultivate like a normal person.
This time's experience in Fire Mountain would be a good opportunity. According to the clan's arrangements, this experiential learning lasted only half a month, and it wasn't too long.
When he returned, he would be able to catch up with the clan's coming of age ceremony.
"Young Master Xiao, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. I have just reached the third level of the Core Formation Stage, so I still need to stabilize my cultivation. If I encounter any problems in cultivation in the future, please give my granddaughter some pointers!"
Mu Tianhai clasped his hands at Xiao Jian, put on his black cloak and left. If others were to know that the number one expert in Grand Desolate City, Mu Tianhai, was actually asking Xiao Jian for guidance, they had no idea what kind of expression they would have.
"I need to rest. Go back!"
Xiao Jian sat cross-legged on the pavilion and carefully brewed some tea as he said with a light tone.
"I'm going to rest too, why should I go back?"
Mu Qingxue tilted her head and smiled.
"Do you want to stay here and sleep with me?"
Xiao Jian was a little surprised when he heard Mu Qingxue's words. He looked at Mu Qingxue and asked. Mu Qingxue's figure moved, dancing in the air, like a fairy from outer space. Her soft body fell into Xiao Jian's arms.
The fragrance of a girl's body wafted into Xiao Jian's chest. For a moment, Xiao Jian felt absent-minded.
After all, the young girl in his arms was known as the number one beauty in Nine Prefectures Eighteen Cities, the goddess of countless young talents in his dreams. A talent that surpassed others, a beauty that could topple empires; these words were not enough to describe it.
Was he supposed to feel lucky or was it unfortunate that such a cold flower had only bloomed for him?
"Can't you? You are my fiancé, even if I stay the night, who would dare to say anything? "
Mu Qingxue looked tenderly into Xiao Jian's eyes. She wanted to find what Xiao Jian saw of her, but he didn't see her at all.
He could not see through this man. He had the appearance of a weak scholar. He was powerless, and his words and actions lacked the manliness.
However, it was precisely this person that gave her a strange feeling. It was a person who had experienced a lot in the world, experiencing many vicissitudes of life. She was unable to see through this man. There seemed to be an inexplicable attraction from him that made her unable to look away.
"If you want to sleep with me, then I have to agree!"
When Xiao Jian heard this, he said with a faint smile.
"With your little cultivation, is it even worth me to ask you?" If I use force now, do you think you have any chance of fighting back? "
Mu Qingxue was so close to Xiao Jian. She sniffed the manliness on Xiao Jian's body and suddenly her face turned bright red. However, Xiao Jian turned his head away at this moment and didn't look at Mu Qingxue's expression.
"You can try!"
Xiao Jian smiled bitterly.
"Tell me, who do you think you are?"
Mu Qingxue pressed her small hand on Xiao Jian's chest and asked slowly. She was curious as to what kind of existence occupied so many places in Xiao Jian's heart.
She was as beautiful as Xiao Jian, but he didn't even want to look at her.
"A dead person is also a living person!"
Xiao Jian raised his head slightly and looked at the long night sky. He said something he didn't understand. Hearing his words, Mu Qingxue didn't press him further. She just gently leaned on Xiao Jian's chest.
Time passed by. It was unknown how much time had passed, but Mu Qingxue had already fallen asleep in his arms. Looking at Mu Qingxue's expression, Xiao Jian suddenly felt a tinge of guilt in his heart.
He and Mu Qingxue had known each other since childhood, and even though they didn't meet very often, they could still be considered childhood friends. Back then, her Xiao Family was powerful, and her Xiao Family and Mu Family were worldly friends. That was why she had such a marriage.
In the eyes of others, Mu Qingxue and Xiao Jian didn't have much interaction. Perhaps only Mu Qingxue herself knew of her special feelings for Xiao Jian.
Ever since she was young, this weak and gentle man had guided her in her cultivation. He even knew more than the teachers of the Martial Arts Academy. Under his careful guidance, she had achieved what she was today. But because her Xiao Family was gradually weakening, her father forced her to not interact with Xiao Jian. It was six or seven years ago that she didn't see Xiao Jian often.
However, as the years went by, that feeling became stronger and stronger.
Ever since he was young, he had always deliberately kept his distance. He said that his heart was occupied by a dead woman and he couldn't hold anyone else. Sometimes, she was even a little jealous of that dead woman.
The night was as dark as ink. Xiao Jian had not slept for the entire night, and after absorbing the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, he needed to absorb the remaining medicinal energy within his body.
Based on his current body, it was impossible for him to completely absorb the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng's energy. He had only absorbed the majority of the energy inside the Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng.
Sky Law Ancient Sword wanted to wake up. One of the methods to wake up Sky Law was to find other fragments, but when Sky Law Ancient Sword was destroyed by him, he could not remember how many fragments it broke into. I'm afraid that in my lifetime, I'll never be able to combine all of the Heaven Punishments Ancient Sword again.
As for the other method, it would be to let the Heaven Punishment Ancient Sword absorb more and more Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. However, Xiao Jian was also invincible in his heart due to the amount of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that the Heaven Punishment Ancient Sword had to absorb to be able to awaken.
A black light flashed in Xiao Jian's hand as a stalk of Blueblood Grass and a Scarlet Flame Fruit appeared in his hand. The Blueblood Grass and the Red Fiery Vermillion Fruit both had the same effect of raising one's cultivation, strengthening one's physical body.
After cultivating the Profound Qi, Xiao Jian's speed of refining the Blueblood Grass and the Scarlet Flame Fruit had increased by a lot. He absorbed a portion of the Blueblood Grass and the Scarlet Flame Fruit's energy, and the rest were absorbed by the incomplete Heaven Punishment Ancient Sword.
As for himself, he closed his eyes and concentrated, slowly refining the medicinal strength within his body.
