Chapter 63, Passive
Nanshan Rift Valley, deep in the Fire Spirit Mine.
Hua Changxi lay on a stone platform that was one and a half meters high, one meter wide, and two meters long, made entirely of top-grade fire spirit stone, and practiced with his eyes closed.
After a while, Hua Changxi, with a frown on his face, opened his eyes and looked at the data in his sight, his face full of solemnity and confusion.
[Realm: Jindan Realm 135 million/1000 million]
One and a half months have passed since she advanced to the Jindan stage.
When she reached the Jindan stage, her cultivation speed increased a bit, from absorbing only one thousand spiritual energy points per hour to absorbing two thousand spiritual energy points per hour.
She can practice for eleven hours a day, which means that her cultivation level can increase by 2.2 points every day.
35 days have passed, and her cultivation should have increased by 77 points.
But now it has only grown by half!
In the Qi Training Realm and Qi Sea Realm stages, as long as you absorb spiritual energy, your data will increase. When the spiritual energy in the body accumulates to a sufficient amount, it will automatically advance.
She was familiar with this mode of cultivation, and once thought that cultivation was such an easy thing.
But after advancing to the Jindan stage, this model no longer works!
After absorbing spiritual energy, the data will not be improved.
"What went wrong?"
Hua Changxi was a little panicked. She couldn't find anyone to ask, so she could only figure it out on her own. But after more than half a month, she still had no clue.
If there is a problem in cultivation, not only will your realm fail to improve, but you will also waste time.
The appearance of Gu Jinfan and the possibility that Shura Sect might have set its sights on the Pomegranate of Creation made Hua Changxi feel very anxious.
She has no one to rely on, no power, and no manpower. The only thing that can give her confidence is to work hard to improve her cultivation. As long as she is strong enough, she is not afraid of being coerced or hurt.
Now that her cultivation level cannot be improved, she is really anxious.
Hua Changxi was a little confused and unable to concentrate on his practice, so he left the Fire Spirit Mine. When he left the rift, he saw people stationed outside the rift.
These people were arranged by Jiang Ye and Zhuo Fan. They were considered inner circle personnel. There were also some patrolling personnel outside Nanshan.
After secretly watching these people for a while, Hua Changxi felt a little relieved when he saw that they were patrolling carefully and knew that the four old men You were very concerned about the Fire Spirit Mine.
The four old men of You took the Fire Creation Pill the day after Gu Jinfan showed up. After they had formed their Fire Spiritual Roots, they left the Medicine Valley and went out to look for methods of practicing.
Now more than a month has passed, and I still don’t know how their progress is.
Hua Changxi still hoped that the four of them could obtain the cultivation method as soon as possible. After all, if they wanted to completely own the Fire Spirit Mine, it would not be enough to rely solely on some warriors to look after it.
Only the four of You Lao became cultivators and improved their strength. Only then would they be able to compete for the Fire Spirit Mine when it was discovered by outsiders in the future.
This was also the most fundamental purpose of her taking out the Fortune Pill and making a deal with the four old men You.
Only monks can protect the spiritual mine.
As for her, she can support the four old men of You from behind, but she doesn't actually want to participate in the fight at the front. What she wants to do most is to be a high-tech talent who is far away from the competition and is irreplaceable.
A high-quality alchemist is great.
Hua Changxi returned to the Medicine Valley. On the way back to the dormitory, he met two servants. From their conversation, he learned that the four old Yous had returned, so he quickly went up the West Mountain.
When they reached halfway up the mountain, Hua Changxi saw Guo Yu from afar. Just as she was about to get closer to say hello, she found that Guo Yu was in a bad state.
Sneaking around, looking around, and looking a little nervous, Guo Yu's appearance made Hua Changxi instantly think of a word: stalking!
Who are you staring at?
She is the only outsider who can enter and exit the Xishan Cave freely!
Hua Changxi knew very well that her cooperation with the four You brothers was based on interests and the relationship was not solid.
But now the cooperation has just begun, and both parties need to increase trust, but they have adopted an attitude of concealment and vigilance, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.
Hua Changxi was actually not very interested in other people's secrets, but the four old men of You sent Guo Yu to keep a close eye on them, and the things they discussed were most likely related to her.
She could accept that the four old men You had their own little thoughts, but she didn't want to be calculated against, especially after she was almost betrayed by Yang Chuan. In her heart, she actually didn't trust these four people anymore.
Thinking of this, Hua Changxi dodged and circled around, avoiding Guo Yu and reaching the side of the cave.
After advancing to the Jindan realm, Hua Changxi's five senses became more acute. She didn't need to get too close. As long as she concentrated, she could hear the conversation in the cave. In the cave, You Lao asked anxiously, "Is the cultivation method in Lu Zhiyuan's hand real?"
Zhuo Fan affirmed: "Well, Lu Zhiyuan copied the opening chapter of the Five Elements Sutra, 'Qi Induction Sutra' for me. I practiced in the backyard of the Lu family for a month, and now I can sense the fire spirit."
"You haven't seen what Lu Zhiyuan looks like now. He is more than ten years older than You Lin, but he looks very young now. He seems to be in his forties."
Yang Chuan was shocked: "Really?"
Zhuo Fan: "I saw it with my own eyes, of course it's true."
Yang Chuan smiled and said, "Then if we become monks, we can also become younger."
He was not the oldest among the four, but he looked the oldest. He had always been concerned about this matter.
Jiang Ye looked at Zhuo Fan: "You haven't told me what Lu Zhiyuan's conditions are yet?"
Zhuo Fan touched his nose and said, "At first I offered 10 Fire Spirit Stones. Later, he gave me the Qi Attraction Technique. After seeing that I could indeed attract spiritual energy, he suddenly asked for a lot of money and asked me to give him Fire Spirit Stones every month."
Upon hearing this, You Lao, Jiang Ye, and Yang Chuan all frowned at the same time.
Jiang Ye looked at Zhuo Fan: "Did you tell him about the Fire Spirit Mine?"
Zhuo Fan looked a little uncomfortable: "I didn't mean it. It's just that Lu Zhiyuan is too cunning. He knows that I can't stand provocation, so he deliberately provoked me."
Hearing this, the three You brothers sighed in unison.
"you"
Zhuo Fan also knew that he had done something wrong: "Don't blame me, I regret it too. Besides, Lu Zhiyuan also said that he would come to Yaogu to take a look after a while."
You Lao's expression suddenly changed: "What is he doing here in Medicine Valley?"
Jiang Ye's expression was also very ugly: "Lu Zhiyuan is planning to take over the Fire Spirit Mine?"
Yang Chuan was also anxious: "Hua Changxi is not someone you can get along with easily. If you bring outsiders here, it will be terrible if she finds out."
Zhuo Fan waved his hand in a very bachelor manner: "If you know, then you know. Lu Zhiyuan said that when he finishes his work, he will come to Hua Changxi to discuss things with him."
"If he is no match for Hua Changxi, we can just give him 100,000 spirit stones every month."
"If Hua Changxi is not his opponent, then the Fire Spirit Mine will have to be redistributed."
"In short, our share is indispensable. If Lu Zhiyuan wants to test Hua Changxi's depth, let him try."
The three You brothers were silent.
Zhuo Fan knew that he hadn't done his job well, so he quickly took out the Qi Induction Technique: "Lu Zhiyuan and I have agreed to give him the Qi Induction Technique first, and when he comes to take a look, the rest of the exercises will be given to us all at once."
Outside the cave, Hua Changxi's face was as gloomy as water. He took several deep breaths to suppress his anger and did not rush into the cave to settle accounts with Zhuo Fan.
She was careless in cooperating with these four people.
She shouldn't have preconceived ideas and thought that Mr. You was a good person, so she assumed that his friends were the same.
She is too passive now!
At this time, Zhuo Fan's voice sounded again in the cave.
"You know, something happened again at Five Fingers Mountain in Qingzhou."
"What happened?"
"It was caused by the pomegranate we stole. You all know how big a commotion the pomegranate caused. After we stole it, someone spread the news that Wuzhi Mountain was a blessed place with strange and miraculous medicinal herbs and fruits appearing frequently."
"Soon, this news attracted the attention of various parties, and they sent their disciples to investigate."
"This investigation is remarkable. They found that the Five Finger Mountain has rich spiritual energy and is very suitable for cultivators to practice."
"So, all parties wanted to take over the Five Finger Mountain. It is said that Taisu Palace, Sanqing Palace, Demon Suppression Division, Shura Sect, and some old-fashioned families have all been dispatched."
"Lu Zhiyuan told me that there are at least five large spiritual mines under the Five Fingers Mountain. He didn't come to Medicine Valley, so he went to the Five Fingers Mountain."
"Who will be able to occupy the Five Finger Mountain in the end?"
