Chapter 1267

The statue naturally couldn't speak. Xiao Hua stood up after saluting. His eyes dodged the statue's chest, dodged the statue's seemingly bright and spirited eyes, and when he wanted to dodge the spell used by the outstretched hands, Xiao Hua's expression unconsciously became sluggish. The spell was somewhat familiar, but when he thought about it again, he didn't have any clue.

"This spell … Xiao Hua, you actually noticed the spell?"

Gong Mingwei was very surprised. He looked at Xiao Hua's gaze and said, "This spell … doesn't seem to be a spell of our Xiaoyu Continent. I only noticed this when I was at the ninth layer of Qi Refining!

You actually noticed the abnormality of the statue's hands as soon as you saw it? "

Xiao Hua shook his head slightly. "Eldest Senior Brother is overpraising me. How could this little brother know any spell?

I just feel very strange. This ancestral statue seems to be real, and the spell used by the hands … I thought it was our Shang Huaming's secret inheritance! "

"Ancestral Master … Alas, actually, I don't know if it's our Shang Huaming's ancestral master or not!"

Gong Mingwei said something that made Xiao Hua very surprised. "According to Master, this statue has always been here when I, Shang Huaming, established the sect. If it's our Shang Huaming's ancestral master, why isn't it in human form?

This strange appearance, I'm afraid it's some kind of ancient demonic beast!

Master searched through the ancient records in the sect for a long time, but he didn't find any clues. According to Master, before Grandmaster went out to travel and didn't come back, he had already told him that he wasn't sure if this statue was the founder of the sect! "

Then Gong Mingwei helplessly looked at Xiao Hua and finally said, "However, the ancestral master didn't leave behind an image. This statue can be considered the ancestral master who founded the sect!"

"There … there's such a saying?" Xiao Hua was really speechless. Ancestral Master … could he still casually recognize it?

"Alright, let's not talk so much. Greet the ancestral master. On the table next to him is my Shang Huaming's cultivation method. Follow me!"

Gong Mingwei brought Xiao Hua to the side. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen books and several jade slips on the jade table. Gong Mingwei pointed at them and proudly said, "The first dozen books are the cultivation methods for me, Shang Huaming, from the first layer to the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining realm. These jade slips … are the cultivation methods for the Foundation Establishment realm and beyond.

After all, starting from the peak of the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining realm, cultivators can use their divine sense to check jade slips! "

Hearing this, Xiao Hua nodded slightly. He saw a dozen books and several jade slips. They looked very ordinary, but the handwriting on the books couldn't be clearly seen. Xiao Hua understood that there must be a restriction placed on these things. If he didn't have a way to break it, he absolutely couldn't see them!

Sure enough, Gong Mingwei looked at it and waved the yellow talisman in his hand, sticking it onto the second booklet. A dark red light flashed, and the words on the cover of the booklet were revealed: "Shang Huaming, 7nd level of Qi Refinement."

Gong Mingwei took down the yellow talisman and handed the booklet to Xiao Hua. He said, "Master didn't come, so I didn't dare to act on my own. Xiao Hua, you memorize the 7nd level cultivation method here. It's better if you don't take this booklet out of the Inheritance Palace!"

"Yes, Eldest Senior Martial Brother!"

Xiao Hua wasn't surprised. Ever since he took a trip outside and listened to Cai Zhuoxia's introduction, he already knew that Xiaoyu Continent was extremely lacking in cultivation methods. It was already extremely rare for Shang Huaming to cultivate to the Core Formation realm, so he definitely attached great importance to it. He remembered that the book for the first layer of the Aura Refining realm was also given to him by Xiao Yuehong. Xiao Yuehong had stayed by his side, waiting for him to memorize it before taking it away.

Xiao Hua walked to a corner of the main hall and sat down cross-legged. He held his breath and condensed his Qi for a while, then flipped open the book for the 7nd level of Qi Refining. His current cultivation level had already entered the 7nd level of Qi Refining, but he didn't have a corresponding cultivation method. His True Qi was freely dispersed in his new meridians, so he couldn't continue to temper it!

Just as Xiao Hua expected, this 7nd level cultivation method was the same as when he cultivated the 6st level of Qi Refining. He only read it three times, and his True Qi followed the instructions of the cultivation method, slowly tempering it through a cycle. The tempering speed wasn't slow, the growth of his True Qi wasn't slow, and the increase of his magic power … wasn't slow either. But … Xiao Hua knew that his cultivation level … was the same as when he was at the 6st level of Qi Refining. There was practically no change!

Xiao Hua almost wanted to cry. At this moment, he seemed to have understood that his aptitude wasn't bad. This Shang Huaming's cultivation method wasn't bad either. It wasn't that he didn't work hard. The crux of the matter was that he had to put in roughly ten times the hard work of others in order to reach their … cultivation level!

From the 6st level of Qi Refining to the 7nd level of Qi Refining, he used twelve Peiyuan Pills. In other words, he had bitterly cultivated his magic power for twelve years in order to achieve a breakthrough. From the 7nd level of Qi Refining to the 8rd level of Qi Refining, perhaps … he would need at least another twelve Peiyuan Pills!

Thinking up to here, Xiao Hua unconsciously shrugged his shoulders.

Not far away, Gong Mingwei, who had been paying attention all along, saw this and asked curiously, "What's wrong?

Xiao Hua, you … have already memorized it? "

Xiao Hua stood up and handed the booklet in his hand to Gong Mingwei. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother. Little Brother has already memorized it!"

"You …" Gong Mingwei didn't take the booklet. He asked in return, "Have you used the 7nd level of Qi Refining to temper your True Qi?

If you haven't, then read it a few more times! "

"Reporting to Eldest Senior Brother. Little Brother has already circulated his Qi for one cycle. There are no abnormalities!

I have indeed mastered the 7nd level of Qi Refining! "

"Ai, alright!"

Gong Mingwei took the booklet and said with a complicated expression, "That year, when I tried to comprehend the 7nd level of Qi Refining, I spent three days of effort. You … actually managed to comprehend it after reading it for a short while!

You … if you aren't a peerless genius, then you must have cultivated it before! "

"Alright, Eldest Senior Brother knows. Little Brother also doesn't know why!

Moreover, although my magic power has increased, my realm hasn't followed suit. I don't feel the slightest bit of progress! "

"Forget it. Let's wait for Master to refine another Peiyuan Pill. Right now, these Peiyuan Pills don't seem to be effective enough. It's too far from the last one!"

Gong Mingwei placed the booklet on the table. In just a few breaths of time, the booklet had already become blurry and couldn't be read clearly. Presumably, the restriction had already taken effect.

Then, Gong Mingwei's left hand pulled Xiao Hua's sleeve, and the yellow talisman in his right hand shot out. A ray of light flashed, and the two figures disappeared from the main hall, leaving only the strange god statue floating in the air!

When Xiao Hua opened his eyes again, he was already in the secret chamber!

The yellow talisman in Gong Mingwei's hand flashed and burned. In a moment, it turned into ashes!

"This yellow talisman for entering and leaving the ancestral hall was personally made by Master. It can only be used one at a time. Every yellow talisman will burn when it comes out of the ancestral hall!"

Gong Mingwei explained, "This is also my Shang Huaming's secret. Other than Master … I'm afraid … only … only Junior Sister knows some clues!"

Xiao Hua was stunned and asked curiously, "Eldest Senior Brother is my Shang Huaming's eldest disciple. These secrets … shouldn't they be in Eldest Senior Brother's hands?"

Gong Mingwei's face was a little strange, and he shook his head slightly. "Before I became Shang Huaming's disciple … ai, these are all things of the past. In short, Master had no other choice!

Perhaps after I reach Foundation Establishment, Master will have some arrangements! "

Xiao Hua was still not Shang Huaming's official disciple. Of course, he wouldn't say that this matter was unfair in front of Eldest Senior Brother. Perhaps Xiao Yuehong thought that his daughter would definitely stay in Shang Huaming before, so he did this, but looking at the current situation … it was a little strange!

After leaving the secret chamber, Gong Mingwei brought Xiao Hua to the pill room and returned the yellow talisman to Xiao Yuehong.

Xiao Yuehong saw that it was Gong Mingwei who returned it, and he didn't ask much. He only glanced at Xiao Hua and asked, "Have you memorized the second level's mental cultivation method?"

Without waiting for Xiao Hua to speak, Gong Mingwei said with a smile, "Don't worry, Master. Junior Brother has already circulated one cycle. He's really a genius!"

This answer was both unexpected and within Xiao Yuehong's expectations. Xiao Yuehong's eyes flashed with joy. He nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Hua is in the Hundred Herbs Gate. Of course … she won't be covered in dust …"

Xiao Hua sweated and quickly said, "Reporting to Sect Master, this disciple feels that Cherishing Flower Peak is very good. Don't mention Yao Nong Peak!"

"Hehe, good, good!"

Xiao Yuehong smiled and turned to Gong Mingwei, "That's right, Mingwei. Master just thought about it again. If we directly refine the Peiyuan Pill, in case it's the same as the batch we just refined, we won't have any more absorption fruits!"

"Therefore, Master wants to refine a batch of Wu Cang Pills first.

If the absorption fruits and Black Tusk Grass have that kind of strange thing, the second batch of Peiyuan Pill should be the same as the first batch. Therefore, there should be a problem with Master's refining method!

If the refining method … is the key, then the Wu Cang Pill should contain that kind of strange thing! "

"Yes, Master's words are extremely true!"

Gong Mingwei didn't understand alchemy, but listening to Xiao Yuehong's words, it was very reasonable. He could only nod and say, "Then, what can this disciple do for Master?"

"No need, no need. Didn't I just say it?

You all should cultivate!

This time, Master will do it personally! "Xiao Yuehong waved his hand and said.

Seeing that they weren't needed in the pill room, Gong Mingwei and Xiao Hua both returned to Lone Staff Peak. In the first two days, Xiao Hua was still cultivating the second layer of the mental cultivation method under Gong Mingwei and Zhang Qingxiao's guidance. But after two days, the previous situation occurred again. Xiao Hua no longer had anything to ask in terms of cultivation. His magic power also increased day by day. Although the increase was slow, it was still increasing. As for his cultivation base … it still didn't advance!

Seeing that they couldn't give pointers to Xiao Hua, Gong Mingwei and the others also cultivated on their own. Xiao Hua saw that he was bored and still returned to Xi Hua Peak. Before leaving, Zhang Qingxiao persuaded Xiao Hua in every way possible to give two Peiyuan Pills. Xiao Hua couldn't refuse and could only accept them!

There was a lot of work in Xi Hua Peak's medicinal field, but Xiao Hua had the strength and his movements were also fast. After finishing, he also spent a lot of time cultivating. The two Peiyuan Pills were refined by the two people. Each pill increased their magic power by two years. The effect wasn't much different from the first batch of Peiyuan Pills!

"This is strange. The two Peiyuan Pills refined by Sect Master were extremely different in Eldest Senior Brother's case. Why are they the same in my case?

And … other people take … cough cough, they don't need the Peiyuan Pill to cultivate to the second layer of Qi Refining. Why do I have to take … or cultivate for twelve years?

It's really strange! "
