There is a small market at the foot of Jackdaw Gate, where immortals and mortals live together, providing a place for casual cultivators to rest and replenish their supplies.

The street is filled with row upon row of stalls and shops, making it a bit crowded.

There is a unique building that is spacious and exquisite, with cornices and copper bells hanging down. It is light but not frivolous. Looking at the facade again, the plaque reads "Yinhai Study - Jackdaw Branch".

On the second floor of the store, the middle-aged shopkeeper with a big belly sat behind the desk and fiddled with the abacus. The waiter in gray clothes came in with a stack of paper.

"Shopkeeper, all the purchasing orders for the past few days are here. Please take a look."

Yinhai Study is the largest chain store in the world of cultivation. It even has branches in every corner like Jackdaw Gate. Their usual serious business is selling books, scripts, plays, poems, songs, and secret techniques.

In addition, the owner is also engaged in the business of consigning goods, entrusting/purchasing, transporting materials, delivering messages, etc. It can be said that the business is prosperous and extends in all directions.

The middle-aged shopkeeper took a stack of bills and looked at them carefully: "The monk surnamed Liu in the foundation period requested to purchase a bottle of Yangyuan Pill."

"Monk Zhang during the Foundation Establishment Period entrusted him to purchase a handful of East China Sea shark pearls."

"The monk surnamed Wang at the Golden Core stage has been commissioned to purchase two taels each of Wuwei Xuancao, Jueqingpo, and Emperor Buddha Jiguo. Hey, these things are hard to find..."

The writing brush in the shopkeeper's hand suddenly stopped.

Wait, these three things look nothing on their own, but if taken together, they are clearly a prescription for recuperating the sequelae of red pills!

He immediately threw away the brush, took out an exquisite wooden box from the bookshelf, and opened it. Inside was a jade transmission note with special words painted on it.

The shopkeeper's activation talisman only had half of the words on it light up. He was not in a hurry, he just waited respectfully.

After a few breaths, the other half of the characters on the symbol finally lit up.

A low and slow voice came, as if he had just woken up: "What's the matter?"

The shopkeeper bowed to the air: "The young one is Li Qian, the shopkeeper of the Jackdaw branch of the study. I'm disturbing the owner."

There was no sound from the other side, and he continued: "The shop received a purchase order yesterday. The person's request was to find two liangs each of Wuwei Xuancao, Jueqingpo, and Emperor Buddha Jiguo. I noticed that this prescription seemed to be a cure.

I have doubts about the 'Chuhui Decoction' for the sequelae of red pills, so I came here to report it to the owner of the restaurant."

This monk named Wang is naturally Qi Ci.

All three things have disappeared from the world for a long time, so it would be fastest to leave them to Yinhai Study to find them.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, the person on the opposite side of the phone became quiet, and it took a long time before he burst into laughter.

"You remember correctly, this is indeed a red elixir healing material."

The shopkeeper was extremely surprised: "Master, can anyone really escape the red pill curse?!"

He has been in Yinhai Study for more than fifty years and has seen many people die from red elixirs, but he has never seen anyone use healing methods, because there is no way to use them and it is too late.

No one in the world of cultivation had ever known that the creator of the red elixir evil method was actually the master of Yinhai Study.

The man behind the transmission talisman said calmly: "You should say that there are fools who can make a duck fly away."

"Go and check. Who is the person who placed the order and who is cursed by the red pill? I want to know all the information."

The shopkeeper bowed respectfully: "I obey, little one."

After leaving the Jackdaw Gate, Qi Ci found a place with beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual energy, and prepared to take Huo Lingdong to introduce the energy into his body.

He talked in detail about the basic knowledge of the human body's tendons, dantian, and spiritual consciousness. In fact, Huo Lingdong had already been exposed to it to some extent before, but it was naturally not as exquisite as what Qi Ci taught, let alone the detailed and precise distribution of the human body's tendons.

Huo Rendong had never been to school. She listened very carefully, and even took special notes, trying not to let Qi Ci speak a second time. Occasionally, if she was unclear, she would ask questions immediately, and every sentence basically got to the key points.

I took the initiative to go to Beijing for the scientific examination.

Qi Ci was also very satisfied with her studious attitude, and her teachings were simple and easy to understand. In the past, he rarely gave guidance to others, let alone taught them step by step. He would always throw the young disciples to the top of the cliff to learn on their own.

Now facing Huo Lingdong, he actually broke it open and crushed it into pieces. An hour passed in a blink of an eye.

The "Introductory Mind Method" distributed by Tianyan Sect to its disciples is only a thin volume, without any bells and whistles. It is very simple and it only lays a good foundation for future practice.

Huo Lingdong finished reciting it in just one day.

Qi Ci smiled, reached out and picked a large leaf to cover his face, and lay down with his arms behind his head: "You have understood the spiritual method, and now you have to rely on yourself to feel the spiritual energy."

"I will work hard."

Huo Lingdong found a big stone in the wide and flat grass, and sat cross-legged with her heart raised to the sky. She quietly felt the wind blowing on her face, sensing the direction of the wind, where it came from, and what smell it brought along the way.

My mind became extremely peaceful and peaceful, as if everything was in the past.

An hour later, Huo Rendong stood up with a smile. Although she did not feel the aura Qi Ci mentioned, she was in a happy mood, as if she could rush to the mainland with the wind in the next second.

In the evening, she was washing the old linen clothes she had replaced by the stream. Although the young master bought new cassocks, and I don’t know what the new clothes were made of, they were invulnerable to water, fire, and weapons. However, Huo Lingdong was used to being thrifty and could not bear to part with a piece of linen clothes.

leave.

Under her feet is the thick and steady earth, with water plants slipping through her fingers, gurgling streams, majestic mountains, and a sunset gradually returning to the west.

Huo Lingdong's hands were soaked in the cool stream. She couldn't help but recall the Dharma class taught by Qi Ci. She felt that she had become a small fish in the water, swimming farther and farther, following the small river into the river.

ocean……

Taoist laws are mysterious and difficult to name.

At that moment, she seemed to be sitting between heaven and earth, her soul seeing the big from the small, reflecting the projection of the entire universe.

Everything around him is no longer important, the only clear thing is the colorful jumping light spots in the air, each one has a different attraction.

When Huo Lingdong came to her senses again, the natural and mellow Five Elements spiritual energy traveled through the meridians throughout her body and slowly gathered in her Dantian.

The mystery of this moment, the unity of heaven and man, cannot be described in words.

Qi Ci sat on the tree trunk, looking at the back of the woman standing by the stream from a distance, showing an appreciative smile.

“It’s rare to enter the Tao with your spirit and then bring your Qi into your body in just one day.”

Even for the inner disciples of Tianyan Sect, most of them take seven days to draw Qi into their bodies, and some even take several years.

The five elements of heaven and earth treat her like their own daughter. This unprecedented affinity with nature. If the Han family in Qiushui Town knew about it, they would probably regret it so much that they would dig out Han's house and whip her three hundred times, right?

The value of the beloved child of Heaven is more important than the value of making her into a red elixir. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance.

After Huo Lingdong introduced Qi into his body, he officially entered the ranks of cultivation. However, in order to become a monk in the Qi refining stage, he still needs to be able to freely use the spiritual energy absorbed into his body.

So Qi Ci taught her swordsmanship.

"There are only three basic sword techniques, and all sword techniques are evolved from them. Practice them well, and when you realize your own sword intention in the future, you will have achieved success in the way of swordsmanship."

Qi Ci sheathed the sword. The green bamboo in front of her was not moved at all, but the bamboo leaves on the edge were silently cut into two halves. In her impression, the domineering and powerful Lei Xing Sword could be so non-stick.

Spring water.

Huo Lingdong held the rusty iron sword in his hand and strengthened his faith again.

It's not for revenge or to make the Han family regret. She wants to make herself stronger and her heart stronger.

Qi Ci's travels had no general direction, so in the next few days, Huo Lingdong picked herbs while traveling during the day, and took the time to meditate and practice swordsmanship at night. He was very nervous and often didn't get enough sleep.

Sometimes she was so tired that she would take a nap on the flying sword during the day.

Qi Ci's lips moved, but he stopped talking: "Actually, you don't have to work so hard. Ordinary herbs are not very useful in blocking poisons. Pure spiritual substances are needed to suppress the toxicity."

The woman who was squatting on the ground digging grass roots raised her head, her forehead was wet with sweat, and her cheeks were covered with a thin layer of sweat, making them shine.

"It's better to be prepared. Even if you don't use it, you can exchange it for copper coins or spiritual stones when you pass through the towns in the future. I've done the calculations. You can buy two Bigu Pills for one coin of Centipede. If you exchange it for Kudzu..."

Qi Ci, who has been the pride of heaven since childhood and has never worried about money: - Let's find an opportunity to secretly throw the spirit stone into her purse.

The two of them headed west and stopped outside a mortal town. As the sun was setting, Qi Ci randomly selected an empty hunter's house to rest.

While the sky was still a little bright, Huo Lingdong quickly picked up her rusty sword and went to the hillside to practice her sword skills.

However, the iron sword was heavy, and it didn't take long for him to sweat profusely. Huo Lingdong panted heavily, and turned around inadvertently, and saw Qi Ci standing by the thatched house with his arms folded, looking at her quietly. He didn't know how long he had been looking at her, but his eyes were as calm as a deep pool.

.

She was stunned for a moment and slowly stopped moving.

Then Qi Ci walked straight towards her.

His speed is neither fast nor slow, and his steps are neither fast nor slow. The sunset dyes his white hair into orange-gold. A belt outlines a thin and narrow waist, a pair of long legs, and extraordinarily broad and powerful shoulders and arms.

.

Huo Lingdong averted his eyes and sheathed his sword: "Sir, what was wrong with me just now?"

Qi Ci pointed to the rusty iron sword in her hand: "I suddenly discovered the origin of this thing, so I took a few more looks."

"I guess your affinity for metal is not weak. These people have been guarding innate spiritual objects like scrap metal in Sword Pool for hundreds of years, but you can just take them."

Huo Lingdong didn't understand and cast a confused look.

"You little fool." Qi Ci laughed loudly, "We are not losing money. Even the head of the Jackdaw Clan didn't realize that your tattered iron sword is not waste at all, but melted gold from the sunset."

He performed a fire-bending technique, and a beam of red flames spurted out from his palm and fell on the sword. Huo Lingdong opened his mouth wide in surprise when he saw that the rusty iron sword just now was gradually exposed in the fire as if it had been reborn.

Dark red original appearance.

Like the last dim light before the setting sun sinks into the sea.

"The Sunset Molten Gold is a real innate spiritual creature, carrying the righteous energy of the sun and specializing in defeating ghosts and evil spirits."

The red sword returned to her palm, and Huo Lingdong held it gently, seeing the fine and delicate lines flickering, as if the flying sword was also breathing and responding to her call.

It is the setting sun. It is peaceful, tolerant, and has infinite vitality waiting for the dawn to come.

While Huo Rendong and the two were practicing in secret, an unexpected visitor came to the teleportation array in Qiushui Town.
