Chapter 469 Firewood
The winter night in Di'an is very cold. There is no starry sky, no moon, and only the deathly silence.
Coming out of the dining room, Xu Yuan walked in the cold winter night with three steaming dishes and one soup, with endless memories in his heart.
Although the word cooking does not always go well with Xu Changge, the cold noodle tycoon, the fact is that this eldest brother can indeed cook, and the taste is not bad.
I remember that after my mother passed away, my father and uncle disappeared for a long time, and the four children in the family were confined to the inner courtyard.
In order to prevent unexpected events, the old man and the uncle arranged a lot of things in the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion before leaving, and no entry or exit was allowed.
As the only sensible child at that time, if the eldest son Xu Changge didn't cook, the other three younger ones would have to starve to death first without being assassinated by others.
With thoughts spreading in his heart, Xu Yuan unconsciously clenched the dinner plate in his hand as he passed by Xu Changge's courtyard door.
Although he doesn’t want to admit it, Xu Changge is indeed a good brother.
A good brother in every sense of the word except that he doesn’t like to use his mouth when talking.
after all,
Before being grounded, he had just witnessed his mother being killed in front of his eyes.
Even so,
However, even in his prime years, he still did not reveal anything in front of the three brothers and sisters.
With a sigh, Xu Yuan walked past Xu Changge's door. After gathering his emotions, he returned to his private room with the food in hand.
Tonight’s dinner seemed a bit too sumptuous for Xu Xinyao alone.
Five meats, two vegetables, and one soup.
In the past, this was how the family would get together for dinner. Xu Changge should have done so much for Xu Yuan's share.
However, Xu Yuan had no intention of moving his chopsticks. He just sat quietly and watched.
As a standard lady, Xu Xinyao still behaved as gentle and generous as usual when eating, chewing slowly and without making any noise.
The bamboo chopsticks lightly touched the porcelain bowl, and the crunching sound became the only sound at the moment.
“Third brother, do you really not want to eat?”
After Xu Xinyao swallowed a piece of delicate five-spice fish meat, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Xu Yuan opposite.
Xu Yuan came back to his senses, glanced at the rich and tempting ingredients on the table, chuckled and shook his head:
“Cultivators below the level of Fusion need to eat to maintain various body functions, but Fusion can already use Yuan Qi to replace food.”
Xu Xinyao chuckled, glanced at Xu Yuan, who spoke slightly awkwardly, and tapped the edge of the porcelain plate with her bamboo chopsticks:
“Third brother, you don’t eat it, is it because of the source of energy contained in the meat of monster beasts and spiritual vegetables?”
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, nodded helplessly, and glanced at his palm:
“My body can’t digest these ingredients right now.”
The standing ingredients in the dining room in the inner courtyard are all high-quality spiritual food carefully selected by the servants. Although the source energy contained in them is not as good as those of the realm-breaking elixirs, it is better than harmless to the body. Even if it is taken for a long time, even a mortal It can also strengthen the body.
The problem is that Xu Yuan’s current physique has created a thick barrier between him and the cultivators in the world.
One's ambrosia is another's poison.
His current physique cannot absorb the source energy, and the black source energy in his body will even cause a rejection reaction with it.
Small amounts can still be eliminated with the help of exercises, but if large amounts are ingested, there is even a risk of going crazy.
Xu Yuan has been thankful more than once during this period that he has broken through the body-melting realm in his sleep. Without the body-melting state, he might have to live like a cannibal in Huizhou County.
However, it is not a solution in the long run. If there is no way to enter his body, the source of Qi will eventually be exhausted one day.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan lightly tapped the desk, looked at the newly engraved formation pattern in the room, and asked with a little expectancy:
“The formation is complete?”
Xu Xinyao finished her meal and gently put her bamboo chopsticks aside:
“It’s only half done, and we need you, Third Brother, to test the results yourself.”
The development of a brand new formation is often measured in years. It is not easy for Xu Xinyao to be able to develop it within two months. Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Yuan suddenly felt that the light around him suddenly dimmed.
Looking up, I saw a layer of light mist floating in the room. It was white and looked very thin, but it was extremely light-blocking.
Xu Xinyao was only more than one meter away from him, but her slim figure was already invisible.
Seeing this change, Xu Yuan frowned subconsciously, but the immediate sense of closeness that his body felt instinctively made him realize that this was the "semi-finished" formation that Xu Xinyao said.
“Brother, try if you can breathe out this mist.”
Xu Xinyao's voice came from the mist.
This is her controlling the formation.
Xu Yuan did not hesitate when he saw this, and began to perform his exercises for the first time in a long time.
After the energy in the body circulated for a week, everything around him that was shrouded in fog suddenly became clear.
Like a fish or dragon entering the water, he felt as if he was connected to the mist.
But this clarity is not visual, but is similar to the God's perspective when the body of the White Walker was moving in the abyss. Even a speck of dust in the room can be clearly perceived by him.
After realizing this, Xu Yuan directly dispersed the skill, raised his fingertips and gently traced the white mist rippling in the wing, and asked softly:
“How did this fog come about?”
Xu Xinyao’s smiling voice came from the other side:
“The source of Yin, the source of life, and the source of qi are all invisible things, but after Xinyao used a formation to blend the three, this mist was inexplicably generated.”
"No, I'm talking about how to do it. This shouldn't be a formation that can be developed within two months, right?"
"Um"
Hearing this question, Xu Xinyao groaned hesitantly, as if she was considering what words to use to make Xu Yuan understand.
After a while, the mist dissipated, and Xu Xinyao's figure reappeared opposite the table, her long fingertips gently resting on the tea cup, and she said softly:
"The method that Xinyao tried at first could complete the steps of extracting the source of the ghost within two months at most. However, after the master reminded him, Xinyao suddenly realized that this matter could be dealt with directly from the root. "
“The root cause?” Xu Yuan asked lightly.
Xu Xinyao bent her eyes, smiled, and asked:
“Brother, how do you think the source of life and the source of yin are generated?”
ˆ “.”
When Xu Yuan heard this, there was a trace of thought in his eyes.
“Brother, you must have thought of it too.”
Xu Xinyao gently lifted the porcelain cup and shook it gently in her hands. The fragrant tea in the cup rippled:
“Yuan Qi,
“No matter how special the ghosts and ghosts are, in the final analysis, they all need to strengthen themselves by absorbing source energy.”
With this thought in mind, Xinyao asked her master to transport a hundred Yin ghosts and a dozen strange ghosts for live research.
“Originally, I wanted to compare the difference between the cultivators and these monsters when they breathed in the source energy, but with the blessing of the special formation, Xinyao found that they were the same as the cultivators.”
Speaking of this, Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes lit up with excitement:
“After refining the source qi, they will actually “return to qi”, and there are no impurities in these “qi” that have not entered the “dantian”.”
ˆ “.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan already understood in his heart.
Gui Qi is an academic term for cultivation.
The process of returning the spiritual energy refined through meridian exercises into the Dantian is called returning energy.
Thinking about
Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced at his feet and asked:
“In other words, those hundred ghosts and more than ten strange ghosts have now become the fuel for my cultivation?”
