Chapter 291
The sun was setting in the west. The deserted island was illuminated by the orange glow of the sun. The shadows in the mountains were dim. The sea breeze was gentle and the sound of waves hitting the shore was like a lullaby. Zhang Xiaohua, who was hiding under the rock, fell asleep and did not want to wake up.
When he opened his eyes, it was almost dusk.
Standing up and stretching, Zhang Xiaohua leaped to a high place. First, he looked at the distant sea, but he didn't see any ships. Then, he looked around the huge deserted island and let out a long whistle. A sense of heroism rose in his heart.
"Although this deserted island is vast, there are no traces of people. I'm alone. I'd like to see how long I can live here!"
"I'll spend the rest of my days here. I wonder if Qin Shiyue can find me here?
Forget it. If she finds me, I'll be taken back to the Tenryū Sect. It's okay if she doesn't come. It'll be better if it's someone else's ship. "
"Alas, I don't know what my parents are like. If only I had run away from Jingyue City.
Well, that won't do. If I ran away at that time, the Tenryū Sect would definitely look for me everywhere. If they found the Guozhuang House, it would be bad. Now, if Qin Shiyue can't find me, she'll probably think that I've been buried in the fish's belly. At least my family won't be harmed. That's not bad, but my parents will be worried about me for a long time. "
After the heroism, Zhang Xiaohua's mind was in knots. He waited until he was hungry while standing on the mountain and dug out the sealwort to satisfy his hunger. Looking at the huge field of sealwort in front of him, it must have been grown for many years. If he was careful and followed the planting method learned from the books, it would not be a problem for him to survive with the sealwort. As for water, it would not be a problem. He did not know how this small lake was formed. With so much fresh water and so much rain on the sea, even if Zhang Xiaohua drank until his stomach hurt, he might not be able to finish it.
After drinking some water, Zhang Xiaohua had nothing to do. He practiced the Fist of the North Star on the flat rock. However, he was still thinking.
"I seem to be missing something. Strange, why can't I think of it?"
After a long time, after the nine rounds of tempering of the bone, the sparkling and translucent bone became even more jade-like. The night had already arrived.
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua patted her head and remembered.
"That's right. I've almost forgotten where I'm staying at night. The night is long, and I'm not in the mood to sleep. I don't have a place to sleep, but that's not good. I can't possibly spend the night under the rock."
For Zhang Xiaohua, such a dark night was nothing to be afraid of. His divine sense could leave his body, so even if he closed his eyes, he could still walk. But after all, it was his first time here, and he was still a little afraid of this unfamiliar environment. After thinking for a while, he gave up the idea of going out to look for a cave. He still sat under the protruding rock, took out the Primordial Stones, and prepared to cultivate.
Zhang Xiaohua was currently cultivating the Carefree Heart Sutra, Big Dipper Fist, Nameless Sword Art, Levitation Technique, and Earth Escape Technique.
Needless to say, the Carefree Heart Sutra was the foundation of his cultivation. It was his internal cultivation method. As long as he had the time, he would absorb the Primordial Qi from the Primordial Stones to increase the Genuine Qi in his meridians, and then temper and store it in his middle dantian.
The Big Dipper Fist was also his foundation of cultivation. It was his external cultivation method to temper his muscles, bones, and skin. However, this external cultivation was different from martial arts. He cultivated it even to the bone. Of course, since Zhang Xiaohua knew that he was walking on the path of immortality, he was no longer surprised. Martial arts was originally a modification of the path of immortality. Cultivating one's own bones was definitely better than cultivating one's muscles, bones, and skin. But what benefits did this bone tempering have, he really did not know. In his heart, he faintly felt that this kind of bone tempering was not simple!
That was also true. Zhang Xiaohua's cultivation was low now, so he did not know the changes in his bones. If he knew that his bones were now sparkling and translucent, he would probably be shocked and ecstatic, and would practice the Big Dipper Fist a few more times every day.
It was a pity that the third level of the Big Dipper Fist could only be practiced sixty-three times. Even if he practiced nine times, he would not be able to temper his bones.
As for the Nameless Sword Art, it only had a few incomplete moves. He had already mastered it thoroughly and there was no need to cultivate it. He could only wait for fate to find another sword art before he could continue. However, in this pugilistic world, perhaps only Zhang Xiaohua alone could recognize the sword art of immortality. It would not be too late to wait until he returned to the mainland to look for it.
As for the Levitation technique, Zhang Xiaohua had already finished practicing it. The Ethereal Steps was probably the Levitation technique, but it was modified by the seniors of the Misty School. In order to adapt to the changes in martial arts, the Levitation technique recorded in the third level of the Ethereal Steps was definitely the most basic technique. The later levels of the Misty School that allowed one to fly were still hidden somewhere in the Misty School. Furthermore, from what Zhang Xiaohu had said, the Misty School's Gang Leader Ou had already practiced the Ethereal Steps to the Great Circle of the Ninth Level. Zhang Xiaohua now knew that this Ethereal Steps was definitely not the original Levitation technique. He might not be able to use the later six levels of Qing Gong.
"Could it be hidden in the forbidden grounds of the Misty School?
If that's the case, then it's difficult. I can't possibly risk my life and barge into other people's forbidden grounds. "
"If there are the later levels of the Levitation technique, I'm sure that if I can practice it to the end, I'll definitely be able to fly. Who knows, I might even be able to fly across the sea. Why would I need to wait for a ship to rescue me?
It's just that right now, my Levitation technique can only float a little. If I'm on land, I might be able to fly higher. But above the sea, there's no way for me to borrow strength from.
Sigh. "
"Then there's the Earth Evasion technique. I've just learned the first technique, and there are still eight techniques that I haven't fully comprehended yet. This is a good opportunity to practice the Carefree Heart Sutra to the next level and master the Earth Evasion technique. When Qin Shiyue comes looking for me, I'll find an opportunity to kill him by accident and escape using the Earth Evasion technique. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"Oh, by the way, there's also a basic alchemy technique in my purse. Moreover, I've also taken a cauldron from Yingfei. I don't know if it's used for alchemy. It seems that I have to learn this alchemy technique. Look at that Detoxification Pill. How amazing it is. It can detoxify so easily.
I might be able to use it in the future. Also, since there's a detoxification pill, then there's also a pill that can increase one's power. If I can master it, then can I give it to my second brother? Hehe, if he can become a top master in one go, how great would that be? Oh, I forgot that I don't know if the immortal pills can be given to martial artists. Second brother probably won't have such good luck. "
Thinking that he could get the cauldron from Qin Shiyue, he was very happy. Hahaha, this guy was really dissolute. He went out on a business trip and found a delicate girl. He even wanted to take the cauldron home. No way. It's better for me to use it.
After sorting out her existing techniques, Zhang Xiaohua had already made up her mind. She must practice the Big Dipper Magical Fist. However, it wouldn't take up much time. The key was the Carefree Heart Sutra. She could practice this technique all the time without end. But Zhang Xiaohua now knew that as long as she practiced the Carefree Heart Sutra before she went to sleep at night, she would definitely make progress when she woke up in the morning. That was to say, she could also practice at night when she went to sleep. This was extremely wonderful.
"I don't know what this bracelet is. What's the matter with the flickering dream at night?
But since I've practiced the Carefree Heart Sutra at night, I don't need to practice it during the day. Anyway, there's no end to the Carefree Heart Sutra. Practicing it during the day is just icing on the cake. It's better to practice the Earthmeld and refine elixirs. "
It was night now, so Zhang Xiaohua naturally still needed to practice the Carefree Heart Sutra. So she took two Primordial Stones in her hand, sat cross-legged, and silently practiced the mental cultivation method.
Nothing happened during the night. The next morning, Zhang Xiaohua first practiced the Big Dipper Magical Fist. Then, she comprehended the Earthmeld. At noon, she ate some sealwort. Taking advantage of the sun, she searched the entire island to see what was on this deserted island. She also found a cave for herself to live in.
With Zhang Xiaohua's current magical power, she performed the Levitation Skill and floated low. From time to time, she used the tip of her foot to borrow strength from the ground. Then, she used her Spiritual Sense to search carefully in the mountains. Not long after, she found a small cave. The cave was facing the east of the island. It was quite dry inside, which made Zhang Xiaohua a little puzzled. Normally, this island in the sea was full of water vapor every day, so it should be humid.
However, since it was not humid, Zhang Xiaohua didn't need to think about looking for things like dry grass and dead leaves. It saved her a lot of trouble.
With a small nest to sleep in, Zhang Xiaohua also lost interest in continuing to explore. If Qin Shiyue and the others could find it tomorrow, she would leave with them. Naturally, she didn't need to look at the deserted island today. But if Qin Shiyue and the others didn't come tomorrow, it wouldn't be too late to look at it tomorrow.
In short, the exploration of this deserted island was not urgent.
On the contrary, before Qin Shiyue and the others came, she could cultivate what she needed to cultivate. That was the right way.
So, Zhang Xiaohua took out the jade slip from the space of the money bag, immersed her Spiritual Sense in it, and carefully memorized and comprehended it.
In the past, when Zhang Xiaohua looked at these ancient characters, she felt that the meaning was very obscure and unclear. Many things were beyond her understanding, so she was a little conflicted in her heart. But now, she already knew that this was an immortal object, and the content inside was true. Unconsciously, she was very curious and wanted to study it carefully. The way of alchemy in this jade slip was inextricably linked with the herbal books that Zhang Xiaohua had read before. Unconsciously, it aroused her strong interest.
But interest was the driving force to move forward. Since she could read the pleasure from it, Zhang Xiaohua was naturally happy. Until the sky gradually darkened, she slowly opened her eyes.
"The way of alchemy is really broad and profound. This jade slip is only the most basic alchemy method. Just at the beginning, I feel that it is difficult to move forward. Compared with the previous knowledge of herbs, it is really different. I just don't know what the way of alchemy has been modified by martial arts. If there is a chance, I have to go to the pharmacy hall to have a look."
"The way of alchemy is to use the cauldron as the base and the True Qi as the flame. The True Qi is injected into the cauldron, activating the formation of the cauldron, producing the True Fire, refining the essence of the herbs. Yin and Yang are balanced, and the monarch and minister complement each other. Then it can become an elixir. What about martial arts?
Presumably, without True Qi, I can only use ordinary flames. In this way, it is inevitable that there will be more impurities. Oh, right, the way of alchemy is useful for True Qi, meridians, and so on. This martial art elixir must be modified to be compatible with my True Qi. As for the elixir recipe, as long as I modify the herbs in the recipe, it should be possible. "
"I already have a cauldron here, but I don't know if my True Qi in the third layer of the Aura Refining realm can activate it."
Zhang Xiaohua wanted to take out the cauldron to try, but looking at the narrow cave and thinking that she had just comprehended the beginning of alchemy, she still didn't know much about the rest. Even if she tried, what was the use?
Only then did she give up and get out of the cave.
Night had come, but the sea was still rippling. There were no big waves. The deep blue sea reflected the starlight in the sky, making it look bright. In the sky and the sea, there was still no expected black spot. Zhang Xiaohua sighed, filled her stomach, and continued to cultivate.
On this lonely island, the only way to pass the time was to cultivate.
More than ten days passed like this, but Qin Shiyue still didn't come to find her. Zhang Xiaohua was quite anxious.
"What's wrong with this Qin Shiyue? Isn't she afraid of being punished by their Sect Leader? Why hasn't she come to find me?
If I'm caught by the Tenryū Sect, as long as I can withstand torture, they might not be able to do anything to me. Oh, no, what if they kill me?
I'd better wait until I reach the shore and quickly run away. "
"If Qin Shiyue doesn't come, I'll do this. Although I don't have to worry about food and drink, and I can also cultivate, I can't sleep at night alone."
Every day, she would say that Qin Shiyue would come to find her, but there was no sign of the boat. This Qin Shiyue also slowly became White Head Qin, Adulterer Qin, Scoundrel Qin, Scoundrel Qin, and finally, she was named Pulsatilla Weng.
However, although Zhang Xiaohua was anxious, his cultivation had made great progress. He had already comprehended the second hand gesture of the Earth Escape Technique, and this understanding also laid a solid foundation for the next few techniques. After all, he had comprehended it bit by bit, and it was incomparably solid. Although he had just learned the third technique, his progress was also very fast. Needless to say, alchemy was just the theory, and it was also what he was most interested in. The first thing had already been comprehended by him, and now he was beginning to learn the real foundation of alchemy.
It had to be said that the present Zhang Xiaohua was no longer the stupid child who had to be tactfully pointed out by the teacher when he went to school in Guozhuang House. These things that had to be taught by the master during the heyday of the Immortal Dao were painstakingly comprehended by him.
Of course, this had a lot to do with the fact that he was on a deserted island and had no distractions.
Today, there was still no hope. The sky was gloomy. The weather on the sea was unpredictable, and ten days of sunny weather was abnormal. Zhang Xiaohua sat cross-legged in a small cave, comprehending alchemy. Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky, which gave him a big fright. He stood up and looked outside. It was already dark and cloudy. It was probably going to rain heavily.
Zhang Xiaohua's cave was on the side of the mountain, and it was basically close to the top. He was not afraid of the rain. He was about to return to the cave to continue comprehending alchemy, but a flash of lightning in front of him seemed to have opened his mind.
