Chapter 270

Qin Shiyue said, "Very good. Shopkeeper, sorry to trouble you. I didn't expect that although your inn doesn't look good on the surface, the food inside is superb. You really can't judge a book by its cover."

The shopkeeper's face was a little red. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you misunderstood. How can my small inn be so generous?

This was all arranged by a previous master. Even the chef was brought by him. My inn hasn't even processed this kind of food. "

"Oh?

Where's the person you mentioned?

Why don't you come in and see me? "

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said, "That master has already left before you three came to the town. He just told me to serve you well."

"How does the person you mentioned look like?

How is he dressed?

Can you leave your name? "

"Sir Qin, please forgive me. That master specially told me not to say much. I just said that he was an old friend of yours. I don't know his name."

"Oh, so it's like this. Well, I won't make things difficult for you. We've already eaten and drunk enough. Let's arrange for a rest early."

"Yes, sir. My inn has been emptied. Today, I specially receive three masters. Please follow me."

After that, he took the three people to a quiet courtyard at the back. He smiled apologetically and said, "There are three guest rooms in this courtyard. Please take a rest. I'll wait here. If you have any requests, just call me."

Qin Shiyue nodded. She looked at the small courtyard and went straight to the room in the middle. Ying Fei glanced at Zhang Xiaohua and also chose a room. These two people were a little worried during the day. They were afraid that Zhang Xiaohua would run away. At night, they were completely relieved. They knew that even if he ran away, he wouldn't run far.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly. Looking at the shopkeeper standing respectfully at the door of the courtyard, she thought, "Let the shopkeeper personally guard the door. It must be a lot of money!"

Then, she went to the last room.

Zhang Xiaohua carefully closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed. He had been with Qin Shiyue and the others for the past few days. Other than absorbing the Yuan Qi from the Yuan Stones and meditating on the Earth Escape Technique, he didn't have time to practice the Fist of the North Star and the sword moves with his left hand. Today, he was finally alone in a room. He didn't plan to practice the fist and sword moves. Although the Fist of the North Star was something he had created, seeing how much importance Ou Peng attached to it, it must have something to do with the Immortal Dao. He didn't want to cause trouble for himself. If Qin Shiyue saw this, he would definitely be in trouble. He had been meditating on the Earth Escape Technique for the past few days, but he didn't dare to try it out rashly. Qin Shiyue had also seen the Auspicious Three Treasures of the Three Talent Flag Formation.

Zhang Xiaohua first closed her eyes and meditated for a while to practice the Worry-Free Heart Sutra. Then, she recalled the incantation of the Earth Escape Technique. Combining the incantation she had comprehended these days, she used her hands to make the incantation. There were many incantations for the Earth Escape Technique, there were actually nine of them. Each of them was different and needed to be continuous. Zhang Xiaohua, who was new to the incantation, didn't know how to start. Thinking about the incantation she saw in Ma Rulong's mansion, Zhang Xiaohua decided to ignore the incantation for now. First, she understood the first incantation.

In fact, the incantation was the same as the breathing technique of the Heart Sutra. They were both particular about the rhythm, where the incantation should be, and where the zhenqi should be. If there was a master to teach, one only needed to point out the secret. Zhang Xiaohua naturally didn't have such good fortune. She could only fumble around on her own. Naturally, it was extremely difficult to get started. However, this also had its advantages. After all, she had fumbled around on her own. She was clear about all the pros and cons. As long as she got started, it would be easy to practice all kinds of incantations in the future. It wouldn't be like learning from predecessors. When practicing other incantations, one still had to rely on a master's guidance. If she practiced it on her own, it would be even more difficult.

As expected, although Zhang Xiaohua had already felt that she had comprehended quite well these days and only lacked the final practice, when she really started, alas, it was simply too horrible to look at. No matter how her fingers moved, she couldn't reach the realm described in the incantation. And no matter what, the zhenqi in her body couldn't coordinate with the changes in her hand gestures.

If it was an ordinary person, perhaps they would be impetuous and have the thought of relaxing.

But Zhang Xiaohua was different. This fellow's intelligence might not be high, and his talent might not be good, but there was one advantage. Once he had identified a direction, he would dive in until he found a result. No matter if it was success or failure, he would have no regrets.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua already had this kind of experience when practicing the Carefree Heart Sutra. There was no such thing as a failure in one go. Success only came once in a million times. Therefore, he wasn't impatient. He just continued to gesture until his fingers were sore. Only then did he take a short break to absorb some of the zhenqi.

Actually, in the Ma Residence, Ma Rulong had already said that the Qi of Heaven and Earth was showing signs of recovery. But from what Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense could see, there weren't many more strands of zhenqi in this world. If he only relied on the zhenqi of Heaven and Earth normally, this Carefree Heart Sutra definitely wouldn't improve even an inch. His cultivation still relied on that zhenqi of Heaven and Earth.

Speaking of this tiny zhenqi, it was rather miraculous. Zhang Xiaohua had been absorbing with all his might for so long, but the zhenqi in the zhenqi didn't seem to show any signs of decreasing. Just thinking about it made Zhang Xiaohua grin. If it was the Carefree Heart Sutra, it would be completely absorbed in a few times. Although the zhenqi in his money pouch was huge, it wouldn't be used for long. But now, this tiny zhenqi had taken him so long. He wouldn't have to worry about his cultivation in the future.

Of course, Zhang Xiaohua attributed this phenomenon to the fact that he had just entered the Qi Refinement realm, so the amount of zhenqi he absorbed was still small. When he reached more than ten layers in the future, it probably wouldn't be enough. But didn't Ou Peng, Ma Rulong, and that whatever Sakra say that the Qi of Heaven and Earth was increasing? Perhaps at that time, he wouldn't need to use the zhenqi anymore.

After Zhang Xiaohua finished absorbing, he began to try again.

He didn't know how many times he tried, but Zhang Xiaohua felt a little mischievous in his heart. There was a bit less anticipation in his heart, and he returned to his usual tranquil state of mind. Perhaps it was this kind of state of mind that had no desires or desires. During a certain practice, he suddenly felt that the zhenqi he was forming in his hand had a great attractive force, attracting the zhenqi that just happened to reach a certain point. This attractive force was so great that Zhang Xiaohua couldn't resist it. In an instant, all the zhenqi in his body was sucked dry, and directly poured into the zhenqi in his hand. Zhang Xiaohua knew that he had thoroughly comprehended this zhenqi, and could also truly put it into practice.

Thus, he immediately changed his hand gesture, and began to form the next zhenqi. Perhaps it was because he didn't form the zhenqi correctly, or perhaps the zhenqi in his body was exhausted, but in any case, the second zhenqi didn't succeed. Immediately, the zhenqi that had just been sucked out dissipated in his hand. Zhang Xiaohua felt a burst of heartache. This was the zhenqi that he had cultivated for many days. How could it be all gone in an instant?

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly released his Divine Sense, and used the "Carefree Heart Sutra" to draw out the zhenqi that had just dissipated. This was the Qi of Heaven and Earth, which was very precious, and it couldn't be wasted.

Unfortunately, even if Zhang Xiaohua acted in time, he could only reabsorb nearly 15% of the zhenqi, and the remaining 95% dissipated between heaven and earth.

However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't regret it. In terms of his gains today, he was willing to bear this loss. It was just absorbing more zhenqi.

Looking at the sky, Zhang Xiaohua didn't continue to try the zhenqi. Instead, he took out a zhenqi stone from his arms, one in each hand, and sat cross-legged, quietly absorbing the zhenqi.

After a while, he fell into a deep sleep. The endless starlight once again surrounded his body. The zhenqi stone in his hand was also emitting a faint light, which was absorbed by Zhang Xiaohua's zhenqi. The zhenqi stone was several times faster than Zhang Xiaohua's absorption. In less than a moment, the zhenqi that Zhang Xiaohua had lost was replenished, and the zhenqi in the zhenqi stone was still constantly absorbed into his body.

In another room, Qin Shiyue and Ying Fei were talking.

Qin Shiyue pointed to a bag on the table and said, "Ying Fei, go out and give all the ancient jade articles collected in the past few days to the local contact point. Ask them to send them to Sect Master as soon as possible."

Ying Fei stepped forward, picked up the bag, and said, "Yes, my lord. I'll go right away.

However, today's matter is a bit strange. Shall we avoid it first and wait until tomorrow to send it out? "

Qin Shiyue said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Although we still don't know who it is, it won't do us any harm. Everything should be unchanged.

This jade article is something that Sect Master is looking forward to. It's better to send it back to Sect Master as soon as possible. "

Ying Fei said with a smile, "In fact, this kind of thing can be done by us. Why bother you, my lord?"

Qin Shiyue said, "Ying Fei, you still don't understand the importance of this task. If it wasn't necessary, do you think Sect Master would send me out?

If it weren't for me, could you have escaped from Ma Rulong in Xinji Town? "

Ying Fei immediately smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, I was careless. I'll do it now."

"By the way," Qin Shiyue stopped Ying Fei and asked, "The boy who calls himself Ren Xiaoyao has fallen asleep, right?"

"Of course!

I don't know what kind of reincarnation this guy is. When it's time, he will sleep like a log and won't wake up. If he wakes up now, even God will laugh at him. "

"During this time, did you feel that someone was following you?"

"No, my lord."

"It's strange. We have caught Ren Xiaoyao in our hands. Why isn't the force behind him in a hurry to hide?

Is it really as he said, that he has nothing to do with this cauldron? "

"That might not be the case, Sir. Perhaps he's just a pawn who knows little about their organization. Even if we caught him, they had enough confidence that we wouldn't be able to find anything on them. That's why they've been abandoned."

"Well, there is this possibility.

But, no matter what, we have to bring this burden back to the sect. Whether he has nothing to do with this matter or is just a pawn, let Sect Master decide. Anyway, Sect Master will definitely blame us if we don't bring back the cauldron. I only hope that the other things we bring back can move Sect Master's heart. "
