Chapter 100: Lodging

Seeing Pei Ye didn't know how to speak. He really didn't expect that the man who was laughing and talking just now was suffering from such a setback. He couldn't see it at all from his face.

The path of cultivation was almost cut in half.

He had just ascended the Crane List and was about to climb upward with full ambition. Last night he also said he wanted to become a Sword Master... one out of four left, I'm afraid the status of the first true disciple cannot be maintained either.

Seeing Pei Ye looked at Sister Xing Zhi: "Then, what to do?"

Sister Xing Zhi shook her head: "Don't know, can only go back and see."

Seeing Pei Ye was silent, and remained silent until the front courtyard, where the two prepared to separate.

"It's okay, don't worry too much, Senior Uncle loves him very much." Xing Zhi said, "It's just that he has always been very proud and is used to being the senior brother—you see he was still thinking about sending disciples to Yunlang Mountain for practice just now."

Seeing Pei Ye nodded: "Brother Zhu is the kind of person who likes to put all responsibilities on his own shoulders."

"Yes, he has been the most respected master brother since he was a child." Sister Xing Zhi sighed lightly, "He is used to taking the loss first, sharing the benefits with others first, and likes to carry everything by himself... I hope this time can change his nature."

The two talked for a while and then said goodbye and returned to their rooms.

Seeing Pei Ye pushed open the door to his own room. The room was pitch black, and still held the lingering scent of blood from the wounded who had been there before. Most of the wounded had now been claimed and taken home, while those from the prefecture were being housed in the civilian dwellings behind.

Too lazy to light the lamp, Seeing Pei Ye felt his way to the bed in the dark, spread his tired and stiff body on the bed board, and squeezed out a low groan.

These few days were really too tired.

Not to mention the overuse of the body, there was not a moment of relaxation mentally.

Pressure, tension, uneasiness, irritability, sadness... he had been wandering in various extreme emotions, and now that he closed his eyes in the dark, various pictures and things rose and fell in his mind.

Blades, water, blood, tentacles, sword light, golden vertical pupils, dark blue liquid, urgent shouts, wailing sounds, the old man's whispers...

Although he was very tired, his brain hadn't realized the fact that it could rest.

The soreness all over his body also floated up. Seeing Pei Ye slowly moved his body, and then remembered one thing.

He already had True Qi.

He mobilized the air current in his abdomen to swim all over his body. The cool feeling penetrated the tired muscles wherever it passed. While comfort came, the fatigue also began to fade rapidly.

Of course, to fully recover, it still requires a considerable amount of time.

In fact, this was the first time Seeing Pei Ye had time to carefully experience the feeling of having a meridian tree.

And I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that this True Qi was slightly stronger than when it was just born.

Looking closely, this trickle was indeed a little wider, probably the difference between the index finger and the middle finger.

Seeing Pei Ye sank his mind into the Dantian, and the meridian tree appeared in his mind in detail. This kind of introspection is not an easy ability to obtain, but it is incidental to the salary.

In Seeing Pei Ye's "field of vision," wisps of subtle Qi were absorbed from the outside world into this meridian tree, and this tree was like drinking dew and bathing in the sun, turning these Qi into nutrients for growth bit by bit.

Mystic Qi.

This ability to absorb energy between heaven and earth to grow did not disappear with the germination of the seed. It was still playing a role in Seeing Pei Ye's abdomen, constantly converting Mystic Qi into True Qi.

This is the reliance that made the host famous after eighteen years of dormancy—this kind of cultivation assistance that never stops day and night, even if the host lies on the bed, I am afraid he can reach the Eighth Life Realm within four years.

And how does a normal meridian tree develop?

Just as it produces the second blood of a person, the nutrients it absorbs also come from the human body itself.

Martial artists rely on eating and exercising to temper their bodies, but the body always has limits, which is the strength limit of a landlubber.

And for Life Vein cultivators, these overflowing energies can be absorbed by the meridian tree and converted into True Qi. When the amount of True Qi is sufficient, the meridian tree can continue to be catalyzed.

Therefore, food supplementation and root bone determine the progress speed of a person in the Life Vein Realm.

People with relatively ordinary family backgrounds, such as children in various martial arts halls, eat more and eat more, boil more and practice more, ensuring sufficient meat; those with good family backgrounds, such as famous sects, take internal and external use, tonic medicine and precious food, and have them from time to time; and in the top martial arts holy places, a spiritual pill is often taken into the abdomen, supplemented by the method of True Qi circulation.

Of course, no matter what method, it just provides different energy to the body. How much can be absorbed and how much can be converted depends on one's own root bone and the quality of the meridian tree.

Seeing Pei Ye is a first-class root bone, and the salary is a top-notch Dantian seed. Now he can use Mystic Qi as a meal without lack of energy, which can be described as having no shortcomings in the three elements. The speed of his progress can naturally be imagined. No wonder he can feel the strength of True Qi in just one day.

Seeing Pei Ye carefully experienced the process of this meridian tree absorbing Mystic Qi, suspecting that within a month, he would be able to rank among the Second Life Realm.

He wanted to plan the days before the Jin Qiu Martial Competition, but the comfort of fatigue being cleared by True Qi made his eyelids heavier and heavier, and finally his consciousness gradually sank completely.

The next day.

Seeing Pei Ye woke up in the mixed voices. As soon as he opened his eyes, strong light shot in from the window, shining right on his face.

It was already near noon.

Seeing Pei Ye raised his arm to cover his eyes with the back of his hand and lay for a while, before he came back to his senses from the chaotic dream, and his brain returned to the reality of the situation.

He sat up straight from the bed, sat blankly to digest his emotions for a while, then rubbed his face and turned over to get out of bed.

Pushing the door into the courtyard, he scooped a ladle of cold water by the well, bent down and started to wash. In fact, he needed to take a bath; the dirt of these few days had no chance to be cleaned at all.

Then after wiping his face, he looked up and saw the tall man wearing a single garment and a towel over his shoulder walking out of the water room. His long hair was still wet, and water droplets hung on his clean face.

"The wounded have all been transferred, and the water room is idle now." Zhu Gaoyang smiled, "You almost slept until noon."

"Is that Ziwei Overseer back? What is the situation now?" In Seeing Pei Ye's dream last night, he was pierced through the heart by the Immortal Lord's claw, and those cold golden pupils were as if they were in front of him.

"Back, said he didn't see any residue." Zhu Gaoyang said, handing him the towel, "Anyway, the Immortal Platform of the Divine Capital will take over here later, let them worry about it—you also go wash first, and then eat something?"

After this, Seeing Pei Ye felt that the hunger in his abdomen was simply unbearable. He took the towel and still remembered to ask first: "Miss Ming said yesterday that she wanted to teach me sword technique, is she waiting for a long time now?"

"Not a moment, I'll help you explain, go first." Zhu Gaoyang laughed, obviously having had a pleasant meeting with the bright moon of the sword path as he wished this morning.

Seeing Pei Ye nodded and turned into the water room.

The cold well water of autumn hit his skin, and his pores shrank one by one. Seeing Pei Ye opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath, without using True Qi for protection, and survived this wave of cold shivers.

This was what he loved to do most to his steaming body after returning from the martial arts hall when he was a child. Later, his injured body could not stand the cold, so he never experienced it again.

Now, as the dirt accumulated in these days was washed away by the clear and cold water, this dark and bizarre period seemed to have come to an end, and he seemed to have returned to that year.

But indeed some things were different.

Thank you to Boss Proud Sword Yao Guxing, Boss Sima Xianqing, Boss Yun Xin Yun and others for the rewards these days!

Then help push two books.

New book "Boundless Immortal Ship": When science and immortal path collide, whoever possesses Yuan Qi bullets, Dharma image mechas, otherworldly divine ships, and Great Luo mother ships masters the truth.

Seems a bit slow-burning, everyone can see if it suits your taste.

Old book "Dark Game: Sin Redemption": 2146 AD.

A sudden purple rain almost submerged the entire Blue Star.

Subsequently, an endless abyss suddenly appeared above the sky, and countless alien races appeared from it, invading crazily.

At the same time, human beings around the world had not yet gathered to resist these alien races, but had entered a vicious cycle of killing each other in advance.

This is a game controlled by the gods.

But it is a catastrophe for human destiny!

It's just that no one knows that this killing game piled up with blood and violence.

Half a year before it opened, it was actually picked up by Kong Xingyu, who found half a strategy guide for the game...
