The days of An Xin's cultivation passed very quickly, and twenty days passed by in a flash.
Nothing strange happened in these twenty days.
No more news came from Chen Xi, and no trouble was heard in Ten Thousand Stars City. Qin Tiexin was relieved, at least the senior brother did not take action in the city.
He stews a pot of Demon Beast meat every day, eats it, melts it, and pulses it.
In the remaining time, Qi Refining, practice martial arts, adjust your breath, and polish your body.
The days are boring, but I am not impatient or impatient.
Yesterday, Lin Chuan sent a message via Jade Slip.
The main reason is to ask how the treatment is going. Ming'an misses him every day now.
Qin Tiexin replied "Everything is fine".
Lin Chuan also said that he would arrange a small gathering in the city in five days. We would have another gathering before leaving and asked if we were free and if we could make it in time.
Qin Tiexin agreed. He had planned to go back, but he still had something to do and wanted to ask Xu Ying for help.
Regarding the Life-Extension Pill, I have to ask him in person.
Today, Qin Tiexin finished eating a pot of meat as usual and finished his work by sitting cross-legged.
These twenty days of meat were not eaten in vain.
Demon Beast The blood and flesh were poured down one by one, Fire of Life burned day and night, and the little Qi and Blood in the heart had condensed into a bead.
Red, Blood Bead, hangs in the middle of Fire of Life.
The beads are not big, slightly smaller than pigeon eggs, but they look heavy.
Qin Tiexin looked inside, and could feel the energy surging inside, like a miniature volcano pressing in the chest. Every trace of Qi and Blood was surging, rotating, and settling in the beads.
He did the math and found that the Qi and Blood stored in this bead was enough to replenish the Essence Blood his whole body had used up twice.
But it's still a little short of becoming Meridian Seed.
Originally, he estimated that thirty days would be about the same. Now looking at it, it might be closer to forty days.
The further you get to the back, the harder it becomes.
The more Qi and Blood is gathered, the greater the resistance of Fire of Life is to press in. Every time you add one point, more Qi and Blood will be burned.
Qin Tiexin is not in a hurry. This kind of thing cannot be rushed.
He stopped his energy, lost his temper Dantian, and slowly opened his eyes. The sky was already dark, and the twilight had turned into gray and blue.
Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt wind coming from the back of his head.
Someone!
Qin Tiexin's pupils shrank, and Qi and Blood lifted it up instantly.
Qi Gang exploded against the flesh, the red light swelled and came out from under the skin, making half of the small courtyard red.
He exerted force on his feet, turned around sharply, wrapped his right fist Qi and Blood, and punched backwards.
The fist wind howled, shaking the tables and chairs in the small courtyard.
Halfway through the punch, he finally saw the person in front of him clearly.
A middle-aged monk stood in the courtyard.
The monk's robe is luxurious and the material has dark lines, which makes it obvious that he is not from an ordinary temple.
His face is thin, his eyes are calm, and his aura is restrained. He stands like an old tree with no depth.
Qin Tiexin Thoughts raced rapidly in his mind.
Monk? Golden Summit Temple? Or Brahma Sound Valley? How did you find it here? Could something have happened to your senior brother?
Impossible.
The formation outside was reinforced by Chen Xi himself, so ordinary people couldn't even touch the courtyard door.
This person can come in silently, and his cultivation level is at least a lot higher than mine.
You can't fight hard.
We have to find a way to retreat to the center of the city.
There are many people in the center of the city, and the other party is wary of taking action, so he can escape easily.
These thoughts passed in the blink of an eye, Qin Tiexin stepped forward and punched out.
Qi and Blood's wrapped right fist struck the monk's chest with a sound of breaking through the air.
A trace of surprise flashed in the monk's eyes.
Then, he lifted up his sleeves.
In the air in front of you, densely packed Spirit Runes lit up, layer upon layer, at least dozens of layers of defensive formations, deployed in the blink of an eye.
Those Spirit Rune glowed with a faint blue light in the dim room, like spider webs woven in an instant.
When Qin Tiexin's fist hit, there was no crisp sound as it hit a hard object, but instead it felt like it hit a ball of cotton wool.
The strength was removed layer by layer, one layer, two layers, ten layers.
Every time a layer is broken, the power of the fist is reduced by one point. By the time more than twenty layers are broken, all the strength has been exhausted.
The Qi and Blood on the arm surged and was bounced back by the Rebound force, bumping randomly in the meridians.
Qin Tiexin's face condensed.
Not only was this man highly cultivated, he also understood himself very well. Anyone else would have been blown away by his punch.
This method of unloading force was used to overcome his brute force. It's like hitting water with a fist, the greater the force, the deeper he will sink.
As soon as his thoughts changed, his right leg had already accumulated strength and he was about to kick out Hills and Ravines Thrust Kick.
As soon as the wind blew up from his legs, the monk suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped his right fist.
The palm of the hand is dry and warm. The strength is not strong, but it is not urgent or slow, just right.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice sounded in Qin Tiexin's mind.
"Junior brother, it's me."
Chen Xi.
Qin Tiexin hurriedly stopped his fists and feet and froze in place.
The accumulated power dissipated little by little, Qi Gang also slowly recovered, and the red glow receded from the skin.
He stared at the monk, then watched the man's joints move slightly, and his face changed. The figure under the monk's robe shrank a bit, and returned to the lazy young man with ordinary eyebrows.
Qin Tiexin exhaled a breath of turbid air, muttering in his heart.
This senior brother refused to leave the door, so he disguised himself as a monk, climbed over the wall, and even tried to test the door.
Chen Xi also looked at him, with a bit of lingering surprise in his eyes.
He originally wanted to give it a try. This junior brother had been practicing in seclusion for twenty days, and he had reached such a level of combat strength that he came up with the idea.
Unexpectedly, this boy's reaction, speed, and strength were all at the top of his level.
He had no choice but to use Thousand-Layer Force Dissipation Method to get rid of that punch. It would have been uncomfortable if he had to hit it hard.
"Okay." Chen Xi said, "These twenty days of training have not been in vain."
Although Qin Tiexin has not yet broken through to the Meridian Opening Realm in the past few days, he has used his spare time to practice martial arts and has become extremely proficient in controlling his own power. Sometimes, he does not even need to use martial arts, and an ordinary blow can contain huge power.
Qin Tiexin didn't respond. Instead, he moved his nose and smelled a bloody smell on Chen Xi. It was very light and almost inaudible, but Qin Tiexin was still aware of Qi and Blood's sensitivity right away.
Look at Chen Xi again. Although he is smiling, his breath is a little unstable.
His chest was rising and falling, a little faster than usual. The lazy look was still there, but there was a hint of tiredness in his eyes.
"Brother, are you injured?"
Chen Xi waved his hand and walked into the house. When he landed, his right shoulder slumped slightly.
"Small injury." He said, "I met a Golden Core Peak bald donkey on the road and got bitten. It's okay."
Golden Core Peak.
Qin Tiexin frowned.
"Brother, didn't you just break through Golden Core a year ago?" He said, "Golden Core Peak, how can you escape unscathed?"
In Qin Tiexin's impression, Senior Brother Chen Xi only went out to break through Golden Core a year and a half ago.
It has only been a year since he went to True Person Xueying to save himself.
In one year, from Golden Core Early Stage to being able to compete with Golden Core Peak, this speed is wrong.
Is it because the senior brother has amazing combat power and can fight beyond the level? Or is it because the endless methods of the senior brother are effective?
Or maybe, senior brother's cultivation level is not Golden Core Early Stage at all??
Chen Xi didn't stop, only looked back at him and smiled.
"Escape intact?" he said, "If I didn't want to leave, the one lying down now would be that bald donkey."
His tone was understated, as if he took it for granted.
Qin Tiexin didn't ask again.
He suddenly realized that he actually knew very little about this senior brother.
Chen Xi sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of spiritual tea.
"How are you doing here?" he asked, his voice returning to its usual lazy tone.
Qin Tiexin sat down opposite him and briefly explained Meridian Seed's progress.
Chen Xi listened and nodded, without saying anything more. He just said, "Forty days is forty days, don't be in a hurry, it's fast for you."
"Brother, what did you find over there?" Qin Tiexin asked.
"The things I found are indeed very interesting." Chen Xi put the tea cup down gently, with a slight smile on his lips.
