Chapter 36 What Zhang Qingxiao Wants to Protect

"Xiao Hua..." Zhang Qingxiao looked at Xiao Hua with a complicated expression, and his tone was a little cold: "Maybe master and senior brother didn't pay attention to you, but... I was by your side just now, and I originally wanted to secretly I'm explaining Master's techniques and movements to you. Who would have thought... Even my second senior brother, who is at the tenth level of Qi refining, can't understand this technique. You are just at the first level of Qi refining. When you see it for the first time, Can you imitate it with your fingers? "

Xiao Hua was a little frightened just now. He only focused on Xiao Yuehong's magic formula, but he didn't notice that his abnormality was actually seen by Zhang Qingxiao.

Xiao Hua was about to speak when Zhang Qingxiao shook his head slightly: "Xiao Hua, since the last time Wan Du Sect attacked my Shang Hua Ming Formation, you... seem to be a different person. Your whole person is different from the past three years. A big change, you...could it be that you were taken over by someone else?"

Xiao Hua had a wry smile on his face: "Second senior brother, you are so funny. I am only a first-level Qi refining boy. If someone wants to take over my life, will he not come to you? Instead, he will come to me?"

"Bah~" Zhang Qingxiao spat on the ground: "Who knows? Maybe you were kidnapped three years ago?"

"Oh, this... I don't know this..." Xiao Hua shook his head sadly: "It has been three years, and I have no memory of what I did before!"

"Then think about it again!" Zhang Qingxiao said meaningfully: "But one thing I can tell you is that last time you found the small cave where Yuan Guo was taken... I have never been in it, but today in this cave, I It seems that I got into it when I was a child...there doesn't seem to be any magic grass in it!"

Zhang Qingxiao used "seems" twice in a row, and his tone was not sure.

"Second Senior Brother..." Xiao Hua smiled bitterly again and was about to defend, but Zhang Qingxiao waved his hand to stop him: "Shang Huaming and Huanghualing are the places where I grew up. My master, senior brother and junior sister are also here. The people closest to me in the world, I... will never let them get hurt. No matter who... dares to hurt them, I will never forgive them even if they are in the Nine Heavens or the Nine Netherworld, or fall into the devil or ghost realm. Got him!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingxiao's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he glanced at Xiao Hua coldly.

These words sounded cold, but Xiao Hua felt warm in his heart. He said calmly: "Second senior brother, although my origin is unknown, I can't remember all the past things, but I live in Huanghualing." In the past three years, I have known how good my master and senior brother are to me. Especially this time when I went out, I have felt the family affection of my Shang Huaming. These three years have been like the second senior brother's more than 20 you. Since the second senior brother both loves and protects Shang How come I don’t have Hua Ming’s thoughts? If I hadn’t been thinking about Hua Ming, how could God have moved me to find the spiritual grass in a secret place?”

"As for the Yuan-Pui Dan refined from these spiritual herbs, hehe, second senior brother, don't you need to take it?"

"Hey~" Zhang Qingxiao rolled his eyes,

Immediately he changed his face again, stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Hua's shoulders, which were almost a head taller than his, and said with a smile: "Good junior brother, the second senior brother just tested you, you took out the rare spiritual grass. , Even if it is a detailed work by another sect, the sacrifice is really huge. For the sake of your contribution to the Peiyuan Dan, Second Senior Brother will not care about it with you! "

Xiao Hua saw that Zhang Qingxiao had returned to his usual playful and smiling expression. His face was relaxed, but his heart was definitely not relaxed. He knew that what the second senior brother just said was not empty words or a test, but he himself had no feelings for Shang Hua Ming. Intention, naturally he is not afraid of his so-called temptation.

"The leader has promised that as long as I find Zhewucao, half of the Yuan Pei Dan will be mine. Then don't snatch it from me!" Xiao Hua said with a smile.

"Come on, little junior brother, looking at your stingy look, do you think senior brother cares about your Peiyuan Pill?" Zhang Qingxiao said with a smile: "The Peiyuan Pill is a pill that I have taken together, and I will take it again this time... …I’m afraid it’s not very effective!”

"Oh? Why is this?" Xiao Hua was a little strange.

Zhang Qingxiao glanced at him sideways and muttered: "You don't know this? It seems like he is not an undercover agent!"

Then, he explained: "The essence of the improvement of realm is the improvement of cultivation. The understanding of realm can be broken through with the help of elixirs at each stage. Of course, relying on elixirs to break through the realm has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is It can reduce the time of cultivation and use rare elixirs to achieve the training that usually takes ten or even decades of sitting; the disadvantage is that one elixir is only useful for one realm, and it will have no effect if taken multiple times. Moreover, taking After all, the mana obtained from the elixir is not something you cultivated by yourself, and it will have some impact on your use and future cultivation. "

"These effects may not be obvious when you are at a low level of cultivation. They will not be apparent until you reach a high level of cultivation!" Zhang Qingxiao then smiled bitterly: "But... how many people can reach the high level of cultivation... so? This elixir has long been the main means of breaking through the realm! Otherwise... Baicao Sect wouldn't be so prosperous!"

Zhang Qingxiao mentioned Baicaomen for no reason, gritted his teeth tightly,

Xiao Hua became nervous for a while and said anxiously: "Since you have already taken the Peiyuan Pill, then...these pills refined by the master, Second Senior Brother, won't they have no effect if you take them?"

Seeing that Xiao Hua was anxious, Zhang Qingxiao felt a little ashamed of his guess just now. He patted Xiao Hua on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. We Shang Hua used to be poor, and the Pei Yuan Pill we gave you was also obtained from our teeth by Master." We have been cultivating for so many years. Where can we find enough Peiyuan Pills to take? One or two Peiyuan Pills are all bought from the Yi market. The quality is greatly reduced and has little impact on the improvement of the realm. It is precisely because I have taken low-quality Peiyuan Pill before that Master went deep into Huanghualing this time to refine a better quality Peiyuan Pill to help you and me improve our realm!"

"That's good~" Xiao Hua breathed a sigh of relief. He finally found an excuse to take out all the spiritual herbs. Wouldn't it be annoying if it was useless?

"It's you, Xiao Hua. You have just reached the first level of Qi refining now. If you take the Peiyuan Pill refined by Master, you will be in trouble if you want to rely on pills to improve your future cultivation. You must use the Peiyuan Pill with higher quality. It needs to be better!" Zhang Qingxiao reminded with concern: "If it were me, I would think about it carefully!"

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother, for reminding me." Xiao Hua said with a smile: "I am already so old, but I am still at the first level of Qi Refining. How many levels do you think I can reach?"

"Haha, just pretend I didn't say it, Xiao Hua~" Zhang Qingxiao smiled apologetically, looked at the stable alchemy furnace on the ground fire, and said: "Look at it, the alchemy furnace is really boring. I and you Neither senior brother nor junior sister. By the way, when you go out, do you still have the communication talisman that master gave you? "

"Yes, none of those Huangfu masters want to leave, saying they are rewarding me!"

"That's good, just keep watch. If anything goes wrong, notify Master immediately!"

"Yes, I understand, Second Senior Brother!" Xiao Hua said respectfully.

After Zhang Qingxiao left, Xiao Hua sat cross-legged alone, looking at the alchemy furnace, his heart was overturned, not for anything else, just because of Zhang Qingxiao's temptation just now.

"Yes, although I am a disciple of Shang Hua Ming who has not yet started, but... after all, the leader picked him up from the mountain three years ago. His life experience and origin are unknown, and he is not as good as the elder brother and the second brother who have been together since they were young. Growing up in Huanghualing, I know everything." Xiao Hua thought to himself.

In the past three years, he has become accustomed to living in Shang Huaming. He has regarded Shang Huaming as his home, and has never considered his past.

"Eighteen years, eighteen years, where did I spend the previous eighteen years?" Thinking about it, Xiao Hua took out the incomplete, snake-like small ring. This thing was his The only thing on my body after I woke up, maybe this snake ring was the only proof of my life experience I found!

"But... what is this thing?" Xiao Hua looked at it for a long time, not knowing what to do.

"That's all, that's all. This thing is really hard to guess. Let's just stay in Shang Huaming and build Shang Huaming into a big sect. Only Shang Huaming is famous in Xi Kingdom and even Xiaoyu Continent. I Only then can we easily find our origins!" Xiao Hua felt ambitious because of the spiritual grass in his mind!

"Hehe, the second senior brother is kind-hearted, but since I can grow the Primordial Fruit, I can naturally grow other spiritual grasses and other elixirs? It may not be that difficult!" Xiao Hua put the snake ring into the space and thought to himself. Said: "However, elixir recipes and alchemy are important matters? How can I get elixirs if I don't understand these? By the way, Yi Shi!"

Xiao Hua's eyes lit up: "I can take the spiritual grass to the Yi Market in exchange for the elixir!"

But then Xiao Hua became frustrated again: "If my cultivation level doesn't improve, how can I dare to go to the Yi Market? I'm afraid that I will be targeted by others and robbed of them all. Moreover, the pills on the Yi Market are... scarce. It’s not that easy to get, and the quality is poor, so you might as well refine it yourself!”

"At some point, I have to ask the leader to get some yellow talismans for alchemy. I want to try to see if I can really make alchemy!"

Thinking about it, Xiao Hua stretched out his hand and moved it slightly in front of his eyes, waving his fingers constantly, as if pinching some magic formula, but this magic formula relied entirely on the instinct of his hands, Xiao Hua had no memory at all, but This instinctive pinch seems to be much more obscure and difficult than Xiao Yuehong's method...

Under the alchemy furnace, the green and yellow ground fire swayed up and down, and the Minghua stone on the stone wall was bright and bright. In the alchemy room, only Xiao Hua's figure was stretched extremely long by the firelight. His slightly waving hand cast his shadow on the stone wall behind him. , although there is not the slightest gathering of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, but that momentum, that movement... happens to imply some kind of obscure... deep meaning.

Refining alchemy is indeed boring. Except for Xiao Yuehong coming over at a fixed time to see, make a few tricks, or make a few yellow talismans, the rest has to face the hot earth fire and the uncharismatic alchemy furnace. , so, although the four-person rotation has been agreed upon in advance, the people in the alchemy room have never changed since Xiao Hua was on duty...

However, it is precisely because Xiao Hua is the only one guarding the alchemy furnace. Whenever Xiao Hua closes his eyes and practices at night, the alien starlight is projected, and there is always more or less starlight covering the alchemy furnace...
