Chapter 60, Jindan Realm
Chapter 60, Jindan Realm
When Guo Yu hurried back to the stone cliff of West Mountain, he found the cave was quiet and walked in quickly.
After entering, I saw Master You and the other two masters sitting in silence. The injured master on the stone bed was motionless, and I didn't know whether he had fallen asleep or passed away.
"Master, where is Changxi?"
Master You: "He went to the bottom of the cliff." He looked at his disciple and was immediately surprised. "You broke through to the eighth level?"
Guo Yu quickly gave Hua Changxi the Di Gang Dan. After taking the Di Gang Dan, he told him about his breakthrough to the eighth level in his sleep: "Master, Hua Changxi's medicine refining level is definitely higher than most pharmacists in the Medical Department."
Hearing this, You Lao couldn't help but look at his two friends: "I was injured before, and it was that girl who treated me. I believe in her medical skills. She said she could save Yang Chuan, and I believe she is not lying."
Zhuo Fan and Jiang Ye looked at each other.
Zhuo Fan stroked the box on the stone table and frowned, "That girl obviously has her eyes on this pomegranate that we fought so hard to get. Are you really willing to give it to her?"
Of course You Lao and Jiang Ye were unwilling to do so.
Jiang Ye sighed and said, "Yang Chuan ate a pomegranate seed and nearly exploded and died. If this pomegranate is left in our hands, we can only look at it but not eat it."
You Lao also said: "What I am most worried about is that if this pomegranate is left in our hands, something bad will happen."
"We know nothing about monks. Hua Changxi is a monk. She can sense the existence of pomegranates. Other monks can also sense it."
"The people who were chasing us were all warriors. If we attract monks, do we still have a chance to survive?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Fan and Jiang Ye's expressions became solemn.
Zhuo Fan looked at You Lao and said, "I don't sense any strong aura from that girl. Are you sure she is a cultivator?"
You Lao nodded and said, "I told you that I almost died under the beak of a fire-breathing red eagle. It was she who saved me. Although I didn't see how she did it, I know that the red eagle was killed by her in one blow."
Zhuo Fan stopped talking.
You Lao continued: "Also, I also believe what the girl said, that pomegranates will turn into ordinary fruits if they are not sealed. Many medicinal herbs at the bottom of the cliff will wither quickly once they are out of the ground. I have seen all of this with my own eyes."
Zhuo Fan was a little annoyed: "So, do we have to give this pomegranate to that girl? Then what's the point of fighting to the death for this fruit? It also made Yang Chuan half dead."
Jiang Ye: "At least we have confirmed that there are cultivators above warriors." Then he looked at You Lao and said, "Go and call that girl over. Give her the pomegranate and ask her to cure Yang Chuan."
Zhuo Fan moved his lips, looking unwilling, but when he saw his bloody friend on the stone bed, he didn't say anything.
You Lao nodded and looked at Guo Yu: "Go to the bottom of the cliff and call Hua Changxi up."
Guo Yu nodded, walked out of the cave quickly, and flew down the cliff.
Hua Changxi came down from the bottom of the cliff. She originally wanted to pick some green fruits to take back to heal the blood man. She knew that the three You brothers would definitely compromise in the end.
There is no other reason. It is fate that they cannot eat pomegranates. If they eat them, they will explode and die like the blood man.
To save people, they can only make a deal with her.
When Hua Changxi reached the bottom of the cliff, she was shocked.
In the past two months, she has been wandering around the Nanshan Rift and has never been to the bottom of the cliff. Unexpectedly, in just two months, third-level spiritual plants and fruits have appeared at the bottom of the cliff, and there are also many more second-level spiritual plants and fruits than before.
“Isn’t this growth rate a bit too fast?”
The "Bai Cao Jing Zhu" has a detailed record that the higher the grade of the spiritual plants and fruits, the longer they take to grow. Those that take hundreds or thousands of years to grow are considered to be young.
Hua Changxi didn't understand what was going on, so he could only quickly pick all the third-level spiritual plants and fruits, not leaving out the second-level ones either.
When Guo Yu came over, Hua Changxi was picking third-level fire dates from the fire date tree.
"Changxi."
Guo Yu didn't dare to get close to the fire jujube tree. The fire spirit energy around the tree was too strong. Once he got close, it would be like being in a sea of fire.
Hua Changxi glanced at Guo Yu and continued picking jujubes: "Wait for me a moment."
After picking all the third-level fire dates, she jumped off the fire date tree and walked towards Guo Yu while eating.
When she arrived in front of Guo Yu, she had already determined that eating a third-level fire date could increase one thousand points of spiritual energy.
After seeing Hua Changxi's strength, Guo Yu now faces Hua Changxi with much more seriousness than before: "My master and his friends are looking for you. They said they have something to discuss with you. Let's go up quickly."
Hua Changxi smiled, did not follow Guo Yu to the cliff, but turned around to pick green fruits.
It’s not that she wants to take advantage of Qiao, but she wants to take the initiative in the transaction with the three You brothers.
Now it was the three You brothers who needed help from her, but they only let Guo Yu to call her, and acted as if asking her to be available whenever they called. If she acted too easy going, she would be giving the initiative to them.
Guo Yu saw Hua Changxi picking the fruits slowly and leisurely, and felt a little anxious, but he didn't want to rush her.
Hua Changxi asked while picking green fruits: "Master Guo, do you know the three people that Mr. You brought back? What do they do?"
Guo Yu: "They are all good friends of Master. The injured one is Senior Yang Chuan, an elder of the Beggars' Sect; the elegant and upright one is Senior Jiang Yejiang, the leader of the Cao Gang; and the one with a hot temper is Senior Zhuo Fanzhuo, the chief escort of the Weiyuan Escort Agency."
Hua Changxi was surprised. He didn't expect that the three friends of You Lao were all from prominent backgrounds. "So, among the four of them, You Lao is the worst off."
Guo Yu's mouth twitched: "Master used to be the chief constable of the Six Gates. Later, something happened, so he volunteered to guard the Medicine Valley."
Hua Changxi was surprised: "The chief constable of the Six Gates."
Her father is from the Six Gates, and she knows quite a bit about the Six Gates.
The Liushenmen are responsible for underworld cases and have frequent interactions with other underworld sects.
As the chief constable, Mr. You probably has accumulated a lot of connections, so if he encounters any problems, he should be able to get help.
Knowing that You Lao and the other three have so many people under their control, Hua Changxi's mind suddenly became active: "What kind of friendship does You Lao have with the other three?"
Guo Yu's expression was solemn: "It's a matter of life and death."
Hua Changxi thought of the scene where the three You brothers were desperately trying to save the bloody man, and agreed with what he said.
Looking at the spiritual plants and fruits at the bottom of the cliff and thinking about the Fire Spirit Mine in the Nanshan Rift Valley, Hua Changxi could no longer suppress the desire to take the Fire Spirit Mine for himself.
It would have been fine if we hadn't discovered the Fire Spirit Mine, but after we discovered it, we had to watch it being taken away by others. I really felt like I was being cut off from my own flesh and blood.
"Let's go up."
Originally he only planned to make a deal with the three You brothers to save people, but now that he saw that the situation was about to develop into cooperation, Hua Changxi did not delay any longer. After picking the third-level green fruit, he did not linger any longer and quickly climbed up the stone cliff.
In the cave, Zhuo Fan was getting impatient waiting: "It's been half an hour, and she still hasn't come up. Is that little girl trying to make trouble with us?"
Before he finished speaking, Hua Changxi and Guo Yu, who was a step behind, walked in.
Seeing the two of them, Zhuo Fan snorted and turned his head to the side.
Hua Changxi took a look at him and guessed that this should be Zhuo Fan, the hot-tempered chief of Weiyuan Escort Agency mentioned by Guo Yu.
Jiang Ye stroked the box of pomegranates reluctantly. After hearing You Lao cough lightly, he handed the box to him.
You Lao took the box, feeling a little reluctant, but still handed it to Hua Changxi: "This fruit is yours, I only hope you can cure Yang Chuan."
Hua Changxi took the box, and in front of several people, he gathered the spiritual power in his right hand, used the sealing technique, and sent out several streams of spiritual power to seal the box.
Seeing the red light appear on Hua Changxi's fingertips, and then the red light flew out with a gesture they could not understand, and quickly sank into the box and disappeared, the four old You people showed shock on their faces.
After sealing the Pomegranate of Creation, Hua Changxi looked at the three old men of You: "Are you sure you want to use this pomegranate to save Senior Yang Chuan's life?" The three old men of You looked at each other and nodded.
Hua Changxi smiled and said, "I admire the deep friendship of the four seniors, but I still have to say that you give me pomegranates and I help save people. This is a fair deal."
Hearing this, Zhuo Fan was immediately dissatisfied. He really felt that this little girl was taking advantage of them. He wanted to say something but was stopped by Jiang Ye.
Hua Changxi saw it and said with a smile: "I know that the three seniors must think that this pomegranate is very valuable."
Zhuo Fan couldn't help it: "Isn't it?"
They fought desperately to snatch this fruit from a huge fight among more than ten different forces.
Hua Changxi: "I don't deny that this pomegranate is indeed of extraordinary value, but Senior Yang Chuan is so injured, can you find another person to save him?"
“Also, even if this pomegranate is a treasure, if you do not know how to use it and cannot eat it, then in your hands it is just a fruit of no use.”
Zhuo Fan still refused to accept: "Why is it useless? We can use it to exchange with others."
Hua Changxi smiled and said, "The four seniors are all people of extraordinary knowledge. If the pomegranate is useless in your hands, then it is probably useless in the hands of others."
"Besides, as I said, if this pomegranate is not sealed, it will soon become an ordinary fruit."
"In this case, even if the seniors want to find someone to exchange with, they probably won't get any particularly big benefits."
Zhuo Fan snorted: "Ordinary people may not know the effect of this pomegranate, but the people in Sanqing Palace and Taisu Palace must know it."
"If all else fails, we can give the fruit to the Tianshi Mansion and do them a big favor. If all else fails, we can give the fruit to the Medical Department."
"Little girl, don't think you can defeat us. If it weren't for saving Yang Chuan, you wouldn't have the qualifications to stand here and talk to us."
Neither You Lao nor Jiang Ye stopped Zhuo Fan. They also wanted to dampen Hua Changxi's enthusiasm. The four of them were more than 200 years old in total, and it was really humiliating to be controlled by a little girl in her teens.
Hua Changxi's eyes flickered when he heard Zhuo Fan's words.
Sanqing Palace, Taisu Palace, Tianshi Mansion
Very good, I now know three more places where monks may exist.
Speaking of Taisu Palace, Hua Changxi couldn't help but think of his twin sister Hua Shiniang. He wondered how she was doing now? Could she be a cultivator?
Without thinking further, Hua Changxi looked at Zhuo Fan: "Then why don't you take Senior Yang Chuan directly to the places you just mentioned to ask for help?"
Zhuo Fan choked and looked at You Lao and Jiang Ye.
You Lao despised his old friend for not being able to win an argument with a little girl, and sighed at Hua Changxi's smart mind. He could only stand up and say: "Yang Chuan's condition is critical. We really don't have time to go to other places for help."
Hearing this, Zhuo Fan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, that's the reason."
Hua Changxi said with a half-smile, "Oh," "So that's how it is~"
Seeing her like this, the three You brothers looked a little embarrassed.
Yang Chuan’s serious injuries were indeed a reason, but the main reason they did not go to Sanqing Palace and other places was that they were unwilling to give in and were hoping for a lucky break.
When they went to Sanqing Palace and other places, they had no room for bargaining at all. They just had to accept whatever others said. When they came back to find Hua Changxi, they also felt that they could always gain some say in front of a little girl.
Hua Changxi didn't insist and began to explain his purpose: "I really admire the seniors. I tell you all this because I don't want you to have any grudges."
"This is a transaction that we both agree on. There is no one taking advantage of anyone. If we reach this consensus, we can get along better in the future. Don't you agree?"
The three You Lao looked at each other again.
Will we be able to get along better in the future?
What do you mean?
Does this little girl want to make friends with them?
You Lao, Zhuo Fan and Jiang Ye exchanged glances and said, "Of course, we took the initiative to give you the pomegranates. It's a fair trade."
Hua Changxi smiled: "Now that we have talked it out, I will go and make medicine to treat Senior Yang Chuan."
Watching Hua Changxi enter the stone chamber for refining medicine, You Lao, Jiang Ye and Zhuo Fan left the cave.
After leaving the cave for a distance, Jiang Ye looked at You Lao and asked, "That girl's words are full of meaning. What do you think she is planning?"
You Lao shook his head: "That girl came to Medicine Valley in March. I don't know much about her."
Guo Yu, who had been in the background, spoke up: "Master, I think Hua Changxi may have set his eyes on the power held by the seniors." As he spoke, he told him about what Hua Changxi was doing at the bottom of the cliff to find out what Yang Chuan and the others were doing.
Zhuo Fan was speechless: "This little girl is quite ambitious, could it be that she wants to get involved in the affairs of the underworld?"
Jiang Ye shook his head: "I don't think that's the case. She might want to use us to get information."
If they hadn't been well-informed, they would have had no chance of competing for the exotic fruit.
You Lao agreed with Jiang Ye's words and thought that Hua Changxi might have this idea: "If she really has this idea, then it will be our turn to make a deal with her."
Jiang Ye: "She's a very smart girl. Let's wait for her to speak."
Yang Chuan's injuries were indeed serious. Hua Changxi carefully controlled the dosage of the green fruit, using the gentle vitality and repair ability of the green fruit to slowly warm his body.
After the wounds on Yang Chuan's body slowly healed, she made a medicinal soup to replenish his qi and blood for him to drink.
Seeing that Yang Chuan's complexion was gradually improving, although he was still unconscious, his breathing was steady, the three You brothers finally felt relieved.
The three were also injured in the fight for the pomegranate. Only after seeing that Yang Chuan's condition had stabilized did they calm down and heal their own injuries.
Half a month later, Yang Chuan woke up.
Although he survived, all his life's skills were wasted, and Yang Chuan was not in a good mood.
In this regard, the three You brothers were helpless and could only continue to comfort him.
On July 20th, a whirlwind storm with a diameter of several meters blew up in the Fire Spirit Mine under the rift valley in the hinterland of Nanshan. In the center of the storm, Hua Changxi sat cross-legged.
Half an hour later, the storm gradually disappeared.
[Realm: Jindan Realm 101 million/1000 million]
Hua Changxi successfully broke through the Qi Hai realm and advanced to the Jie Dan realm.
Above the red sea of energy covered by heavy clouds, there was a small elixir bead shining brightly with red light.
At this moment, Hua Changxi felt that he was that elixir bead.
When she was at the Qi Hai realm, she looked at the Qi Hai in her Dantian from a God's perspective; when she reached the Jie Dan realm, she found that 'herself' had entered the Dantian and became the Dan bead.
'Looking at' the boundless, vast and surging Dantian Qi Sea, Hua Changxi felt like he was just a speck of dust in the Qi Sea.
She wanted to fly, and the Danzhu flew across the sky above her Qi Sea. However, no matter how fast she accelerated or how long she flew, she could not find the edge of her Qi Sea. Instead, she became dizzy and lost her way.
Hua Changxi withdrew his gaze, and "himself" immediately flew out of the sea of qi and returned to the physical body.
After advancing to the Jindan stage, Hua Changxi could clearly feel that he had become stronger, but he had an indescribable feeling of floating in his heart.
Could it be that he was affected by the Danzhu that he transformed into above his Qi Sea?
The Danzhu was suspended above the Qi sea, neither touching the sky nor the ground, which was indeed a floating state.
Hua Changxi frowned slightly. Would the state of the Danzhu directly affect his mood?
New problems arose in her cultivation, which made her feel a little helpless. However, thinking that she had reached the Qi Training Stage and the Qi Sea Stage by groping her way through, she relaxed a little.
However, looking at the data of the Jindan realm, she had a headache again.
It takes 1000 million spiritual energy points to cultivate to perfection in the Jindan realm. According to the rules of breakthroughs in the first three realms, it is estimated that 10000 million spiritual energy points will be needed to advance to the next realm.
Hua Changxi looked around the Fire Spirit Mine, his eyes flickering with determination to win.
She could already foresee that as time went on, she would need more and more resources for cultivation, so she must promote cooperation with the four You brothers and take over the Fire Spirit Mine for herself!
