Chapter 584 Taking Advantage of the Opportunity

Liu Qingning was frightened by the fierce light in the giant eyes of the black python, and then turned around and flew away without hesitation.

After returning to Qianling Mountain, Liu Qingning immediately began to retreat, on the one hand to restore the lost blood essence, on the other hand to use the Xuanshui Lingzhu to break through to the middle stage of the golden elixir.

This retreat lasted for three years, and with the help of the Xuanshui Lingzhu, she really advanced to the middle stage of the golden elixir.

This surprised her inexplicably, and she also tasted the sweetness of this treasure, and she also wanted to rely on this Xuanshui Lingzhu to continue practicing, even if one day she practiced to the late stage of the golden elixir or even the great perfection, it was not impossible.

She had never mentioned the matter of having the Xuanshui Lingzhu to anyone, and no one knew about the cave under the waterfall. The three people who explored with her had all been buried in the mouth of the black python.

The one-eyed guard of the two stone beasts outside the door is the extremely precious Xuanshui Lingzhu, so there may be more precious treasures behind the stone door.

After thinking about it for several years, Liu Qingning could almost judge that the stone house behind the waterfall should be an ancient cave house, and judging from the mottled stone door, it had at least experienced thousands of years of erosion.

The only thing that puzzled her was why the black python was suddenly locked by a black chain when it chased her for about ten miles?

She originally thought that it was a passing cultivator who lent a hand, but after thinking about it for a long time, she felt that this possibility was extremely low. If someone could really subdue the black python, it would be impossible to find the stone house, and it might not let her leave calmly.

The matter of the stone house was deeply buried in her heart, but after breaking through the middle stage of the golden elixir, although her realm was still constantly improving, she felt something was wrong.

At this point, Liu Qingning stopped, and her pretty face became paler and paler.

After a pause, she continued to narrate.

Since she got this Xuanshui Lingzhu, she put the Xuanshui Lingzhu into her dantian every day, using it to accelerate the speed of absorbing spiritual energy.

Over the past year, she has noticed something is wrong.

After saying this, Liu Qingning rolled up her sleeves in front of Xiao Lin, revealing a section of her snow-white arm.

Xiao Lin looked at Liu Qingning's arm, which was as white as sheep fat, and his face showed a surprised expression, and his brows slightly wrinkled.

It turned out that dense black scales had grown on Liu Qingning's arm. Judging from its position, it was obvious that the entire arm above the elbow was covered with these black scales.

Xiao Lin casually flicked out a small sword light and gently slashed on the scales.

"Clang." There was a sound of metal clashing.

Xiao Lin's face was full of surprise. This black scale seemed to be somewhat similar to the golden scale that appeared when he practiced the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, but in fact it was not the same thing.

The golden scale that appeared when Xiao Lin performed the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique was, after all, the condensation of his own blood and qi, and it was a state of manifestation when this technique was practiced to a certain level.

The black scales on Liu Qingning's arm were far less defensive than the golden scales condensed from his own blood and qi.

If Xiao Lin's sword light was a little more condensed, it would be easy to cut it open.

In Xiao Lin's opinion, Liu Qingning was very similar to the legendary demonization, but he had never really seen the phenomenon of demonization, so he was not sure.

"Fairy Liu suspected that the black scales were related to the Xuanshui Lingzhu?" Xiao Lin asked after thinking for a moment.

Liu Qingning nodded: "More than half a year ago, this kind of black scales began to appear on my body. At first, I thought it was a demonic possession or some kind of poison."

"But when I used my magic power to try to dispel it, I was surprised to find that I couldn't get rid of these black scales at all, and with daily practice, this phenomenon is gradually getting worse. Now, I don't dare to practice through the Xuanshui Lingzhu." With a sigh, Liu Qingning said.

"I guess I can only apologize. This is the first time I have seen such a situation. I really can't help."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I am not here to seek your treatment, but I want to invite you to go to the stone house together to seek opportunities. Of course, since I suspect that all this is caused by the Mysterious Water Spirit Pearl, there may be a way to relieve this symptom in the stone house." Liu Qingning said.

Xiao Lin chuckled in his heart. After listening to Liu Qingning's account of the incident, he really became very interested in the stone house, but he naturally would not take the initiative to bring it up.

Instead, he wanted Liu Qingning to take the initiative to bring it up, so that he could take the initiative and seek more benefits.

Liu Qingning was entangled by this strange scale at the moment, so naturally he would not think too much about whether he was being calculated by the person in front of him.

"I see, but that emperor-level great perfection monster is really a bit difficult to deal with." Xiao Lin heard this, and he showed hesitation on his face, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Liu Qingning saw Xiao Lin's hesitation, and her pretty face suddenly showed anxiety.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao was able to kill Gu Changqing easily, and defeated Senior Brother Long Kui in less than a cup of tea. His fighting power is probably very close to that of the Nascent Soul Patriarch. With Fellow Daoist Xiao's fighting power, it should not be difficult to kill the black python."

After a pause, seeing that Xiao Lin had no expression on his face, he continued, "That stone mansion must be a cultivation cave of an ancient cultivator. There may be many treasures in it. As long as Fellow Daoist Xiao helps Qing Ning find a way to deal with the scales, how about letting Fellow Daoist Xiao choose one of the treasures first?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lin smiled: "Fairy Liu, I am indeed confident in dealing with that black python, but in this case, it seems that the fairy did not put in much effort."

Hearing this, Liu Qingning was almost angry, and couldn't help but greet Xiao Lin in her heart, but she was asking for help from the person in front of her at the moment, so she couldn't easily make enemies.

Thinking about it, this person could say this, at least it proved that this person was not a hypocrite. For this kind of really mean behavior, Liu Qingning's grudge was slightly relieved.

In fact, she had thought about whether to tell the sect's beast ancestor about the stone mansion, but after careful consideration, she gave up this idea. After all, in front of the Yuanying ancestor, she might not even be able to drink soup.

And the few Jindan cultivators she was good friends with were mostly similar to her, either in the middle stage of Jindan or the early stage of Jindan, and even ordinary Jindan late stage cultivators were not good enough in front of the emperor-level black python.

The battle between Xiao Lin and Long Kui at Hongluan Peak of Dancao Mountain made her decide on Xiao Lin as the best candidate for cooperation.

But she didn't trust Xiao Lin at that time, and this person, who is now the first golden elixir in Tianlu Mountain Range, still had some grudges with her because of Liu Mei girl's matter. If this person is a narrow-minded and shameless villain.

She would undoubtedly be courting disaster. If the problem is not solved, this person will take advantage of it.

So after returning to Qianling Mountain, she also tried to find out about Xiao Lin's character, but after finding out, she found that Xiao Lin had no close friends since joining Dancao Mountain. He usually kept to himself. In addition to his master Su Qingyun, he seemed to have only Tao Ling as a friend.

Later, Liu Qingning learned about Xiao Lin's character from Tao Ling, an inner disciple of Dancao Mountain, and knew that this person had a strong heart of Taoism. Except for going out for training, he basically practiced in the cave. As for ordinary socializing and visiting friends, there was none.

Liu Qingning was not satisfied with the result, but the black scales on her body were increasing, and they began to spread between her arms and chest. Even if she gave up using the Xuanshui Lingzhu to practice, she could not suppress the growth of scales. If she continued to delay, it would not take long for her to be completely transformed into a demon.

That's why she decided to take some risks and bet on Xiao Lin's character. She sent a letter to Xiao Lin by flying sword and invited him to come here.

"Does Xiao Daoyou want to take all the treasures in the stone mansion for yourself? You know that the demon field is vast and boundless. Without my guidance, Daoyou may not be able to find the way even if you search for a hundred years." Liu Qingning said angrily.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but touch his nose, knowing that he couldn't push this girl too hard: "Except for the other Xuanshui Lingzhu on the stone beast at the entrance of the cave, Xiao will give priority to two of the treasures in the stone mansion, and the rest will be divided equally, how about it?"

"What if there are only two?"

"If there are only two, then Xiao will give priority to one, and the other will belong to the fairy, how about it?"

Hearing this, the anger on Liu Qingning's pretty face eased slightly, but of course she couldn't help but complain in her heart, "No grace."

"Okay, just distribute it according to what Xiao Daoyou said."

Xiao Lin smiled, which made Liu Qingning even more angry, but she had no choice. Who made her ask for help? Moreover, there were more and more scales on her body. If it was not solved in time, it might affect her cultivation in the future.

"Lead the way, fairy."

......

Two long escape lights rushed into the sky, slightly bent, and then headed east.

Half a month later

The two had already gone deep into the demon field for tens of thousands of miles, and Xiao Lin had already used the secret technique of ghost hiding to hide his body, and Liu Qingyao also used a secret technique of invisibility to hide her traces.

However, the two were still able to sense each other through their spiritual senses. Of course, Xiao Lin did not hide his own breath, otherwise Liu Qingyao would not be able to find Xiao Lin's trace even if he was close.

Along the way, they also passed by the territories of several emperor-level monsters, but the two did not entangle with the monsters and bypassed them from a distance. After that, the two simply hid their traces to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

"Brother Xiao, we will be there in about half an hour." Xiao Lin heard Liu Qingning's voice. After a few days of getting along, the distance between the two seemed to be shortened.

The words were no longer so strange.

"The fairy once said that once the black python left the deep pool for more than ten miles, it would be locked by a black chain?"

"That's right. If it hadn't been locked by the chain, Qingning would probably have fallen here."
