Chapter 13 Preparation for Seeking Immortality

Shi Xuan was not too concerned about whether Xu Tianqi could escape the private revenge of the Xia family in the future. After all, it was Du Bai who had a friendship with him, and Shi Xuan was not familiar with him. Since others thought so, there was no need to say more.

The two returned to the house, first made a fire, then made some traces of a long-burned fire, and then went to untie the acupuncture points of the three people who were still lying. Shi Xuan had just untied Mu Jin's acupuncture points when he heard Meng Yuqiong's pleasant voice asking: "Brother Tianqi, where is the white shadow?" It seems that this beautiful woman's internal strength is still higher than Xu Tianqi's. At least one of the eight meridians has been opened, otherwise she would not wake up as soon as the acupuncture points were untied. Before, Xu Tianqi woke up after Shi Xuan untied the acupuncture points and injected internal energy.

"The white shadow looks fierce, but it is actually harmless to people. We will persist until dawn, and it will dissipate." Xu Tianqi said to Meng Yuqiong what he had just discussed with Shi Xuan.

"Oh, that's how it is." Meng Yuqiong didn't ask any more questions. As for whether she believed it or not, she didn't know. According to Shi Xuan, it was more likely that she didn't believe it. Otherwise, why didn't she continue to ask about other aspects?

When Xu Tianqi rescued Xu Jinyi, Mu Jin woke up. The two were both scared and curious about what happened last night. Xu Jinyi kept pestering Xu Tianqi about what happened last night, such as whether the white shadow was a ghost, how they escaped from the evil ghost, what the ghost looked like, whether it could cast spells, etc., and asked Xu Tianqi a lot of questions that even exceeded the words they had just discussed, making Xu Tianqi hesitant and unable to answer.

Xu Tianqi really had no choice but to secretly tell Xu Jinyi to seize the opportunity to care about Meng Yuqiong. Xu Jinyi then walked to Shi Xuan with a look of understanding.

"Brother Shi, I didn't expect you to be so capable. Only you and my fifth brother persisted until dawn." Xu Jinyi looked at Shi Xuan with a smile. Although Mu Jin was not good at speaking, he also looked at Shi Xuan with a sharp gaze, extremely curious.

Shi Xuan laughed dumbly, this girl was trying to trick him, so he said: "I don't have any ability, it's all thanks to Senior Brother Xu."

This couldn't get rid of the little girl Xu Jinyi, so he hit the snake while it was still sticking: "Then tell me what the ghost looks like, okay, does it have no facial features? No, it's just a bloody mouth. I remember that I was scared to death like this!" While saying this, he gestured with his hands.

"Senior Sister Jinyi, it's not like that. I remember it was a pale face, eyebrows hanging high, and blood flowing out of the mouth." Mu Jin refuted based on his own experience.

"Nonsense, is that a ghost? It's not scary at all." Xu Jinyi despised Mu Jin's uncreative remarks, then looked at Shi Xuan with tears in his eyes and said, "Brother Shi, you have to be fair." Shi Xuan thought for a moment and replied, "Both of you are right." Seeing that Xu Jinyi was about to pout and refute, he waved his hand to signal her to listen to him first, "Actually, ghosts are basically the same as they were before, but they are paler and more blurred, like the ghost we saw last night. In fact, we saw his true face later." Xu Jinyi was excited and said, "What does it look like? What does it look like? Why did I see that?" He also made a bloody mouth shape with his hand. Mu Jin also nodded in agreement. Shi Xuan was about to answer, but suddenly frowned. It turned out that Shi Xuan keenly felt that although Meng Yuqiong seemed to be listening carefully to Xu Tianqi's excited talk about what happened last night, she had always focused on him. However, Shi Xuan couldn't control that now, so he could only continue to talk: "Later, after we made a fire, the white shadow didn't dare to approach, but just howled from a distance. Through the fire, we saw a male ghost with a ferocious face, scars all over his face, and he looked about 40 or 50 years old. As for what you saw, it should be caused by his illusion." "Illusion, so powerful, it looks very good, just like the novels I've read." Xu Jinyi's eyes almost lit up. "But I saw in the novels and operas, in this case, there are always female ghosts." Mu Jin said with some regret. I didn't expect this boy to be dull and shy, but he also liked novels, and he liked female ghosts. Shi Xuan laughed and said: "Aren't there also male monsters like rat monsters and Wutongshen in the novels that seduce female relatives? It can be seen that male ghosts and male monsters exist." Although the result of this argument has nothing to do with the argument process, if you rashly say that the novels are all fabricated, what if the two people on the opposite side are fanatics, then it's better to say this nonsense. The two people on the opposite side did not pay attention to analyzing the cause and effect relationship in Shi Xuan's answer, and then asked another question they were concerned about.

"Brother Shi, did the male ghost suddenly extend a long tongue towards your forehead?"

"No, you seem to be talking about zombies, right?"

"Brother Shi, did the ghost use magic? For example, summoning thunder, such as black fog."

"Do you think we can survive if we use magic? Besides, if we summon thunder, do you think the thunder will strike the ghost first or the human first?"

…………

Unknowingly, the sky has brightened. Xu Tianqi and Meng Yuqiong came over after talking. Xu Tianqi said: "Since it is already light, I think the ghost will not appear again. We don't need to stay near the fire anymore. It's time to go back."

At this time, Meng Yuqiong asked, "I wonder what happened to Brother Xia Shi and the two elders of the Xia family?"

Xu Jinyi suddenly realized and said, "I felt that something was missing. It turned out that the prodigal son was taken away by the ghost."

Xu Tianqi stood up and said, "He should not have been taken away by the ghost. We only saw that the ghost blew a gust of wind and blew all three of them out of the house. We only had time to catch you three. Hey, the ghosts in this house seem to have never killed anyone. I hope they are also, well, lucky people."

Shi Xuan complained in his heart, it's too fake. Given the relationship between the two of you, you should act gloating instead of being serious and sad at this time.

Sure enough, Miss Xu pouted and said, "I hope they were taken away by wild dogs."

Since the three people have been blown out of the house, even if you want to find them, you can only find them outside the house, so the five people put out the fire and left together.

The fresh and slightly sweet air in the early morning, coupled with the cool breeze blowing on their faces, made the five people who had just left the house feel happy and in better spirits.

When they stood outside, just as Xu Tianqi was hesitating whether to perfunctorily look for Xia Wenhui and the other two, and subconsciously looked at the exit of the dead end, he saw Xia Wenhui and the other two walking out. After seeing this side, he glared fiercely, then turned and left, especially the look and expression of the double kill of the sword, as if he wanted to swallow Xu Tianqi alive.

Xu Tianqi clapped his hands and said, "Sister Yuqiong, look, they are fine, and they are rushing back now. Let's go back too."

Meng Yuqiong nodded slightly, and then the five of them walked towards the direction of Xu's mansion. Along the way, except for Xu Jinyi jumping and asking questions, and Shi Xuan and Xu Tianqi perfunctorily, everyone arrived at Xu's mansion very quietly.

Shi Xuan declined Xu Tianqi's invitation to go in for breakfast together, and watched the four of them walk towards the small door. Xu Jinyi walked slowly to the end, just after he climbed up a step, he suddenly turned around and took two quick steps. In Shi Xuan's stunned eyes, he whispered: "Brother Shi, you can't fool me. I know my fifth brother much better than you! But, hehe, I like to listen to your lies." After saying that, without waiting for Shi Xuan to reply, he caught up with the three people in front of him with a few big strides and walked into the small door together. At the moment of entering the small door, Shi Xuan saw Meng Yuqiong also turned around and smiled meaningfully at him. Shi Xuan thought sadly, I didn't expect that the innocent and pure girl Xu Jinyi was so thoughtful. Was he fooled by her or was he fooled by her? And Meng Yuqiong, hey, I can't underestimate women's IQ in the future. Xu Tianqi waited outside the door and sent a steward to give him a package with the agreed 500 taels of silver. Then he had breakfast outside and returned to the small courtyard to do the daily morning class, which mainly focused on regulating breathing and qigong and practicing boxing and body building. Shi Xuan was not worried about being found by Xia Wenhui and his men. Although it was reasonable that since the Xia family did not dare to retaliate against Xu Tianqi openly, it was likely that he, a little follower, would not be able to escape the revenge, but the Xia family could not find him. When Xu Tianqi came to the courtyard before, Xia Wenhui and his men did not know. As for the future, Xu Tianqi said that he would not go out until his cultivation level broke through, let alone come to him. In addition, Xu Tianqi would surely not be able to restrain Mu Jin and Xu Jinyi from coming, and Meng Yuqiong, who he could not restrain, did not know where she lived just like the Xia family.

Of course, Shi Xuan was not worried because even if the Xia family really came to his door, he was not afraid. He would destroy as many as he could, and he was confident, so he was not panicked.

Sure enough, within half a year, Xu Tianqi and the other three had not come. Shi Xuan concentrated on visualizing the strengthening of the soul, practicing and nourishing qi, and made rapid progress. He had opened up 71 small meridians, and only the last one was left to connect all meridians to form a large circle.

In addition, Shi Xuan also found the new "Return to the True Reality" created by Taoist Xu, not to practice the internal skills in it, but to practice the various moves collected and created later. Because Shi Xuan found that the best cinnabar and yellow paper made of old peach wood were difficult to buy and very expensive when he was preparing for his future trip. He ran all over the city and only bought enough materials to draw 20 or 30 talismans. He spent more than 100 taels of silver on these. Now he only has less than 50 taels of silver. Therefore, talismans are very precious and must be spent sparingly. Shi Xuan had no choice but to practice moves and try to use them to solve those small troubles.

Shi Xuan now has abundant internal energy, and his martial arts moves are progressing rapidly. In less than four months, he has mastered the moves in the new "Return to the True Reality". Although the lethality is insufficient due to the characteristics of the internal energy, with the internal energy cultivation close to the acquired great circulation, according to his own sword and sword double kill, it should be no problem to deal with opponents whose eight extraordinary meridians are not fully opened.
