Chapter 418
Nie Qianyu looked around and said, "Brother Ren, let's go along the main road. There's a big city called Fenglu City about ten miles to the east. Although we're going east, we're not on the route from Tanhe City to Mochou City, so we don't have to worry about being chased. Although this path is straight to the south, it deviates from the official road and we don't know what's ahead. If there are dangerous mountains and rivers, we'll be in trouble."
Then, he glanced at the silent Zhang Xiaohua and hurriedly said, "Of course, with Big Brother Ren around, you can go anywhere you want no matter how big the world is. However, Big Brother Ren, don't you have two burdens in this carriage? Why don't you suffer a little and take the official road with us?"
Although Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were fixed on the path leading into the distance, he didn't hear Nie Qianyu's words at all. His majestic divine sense was fully unleashed in an attempt to explore the riverside where the attack took place on that rainy night.
However, it was still far away and her Divine Sense couldn't reach it.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua looking ahead and not saying anything, Nie Qianyu felt wronged. She pinched the corner of her clothes and didn't say anything.
Little Orange was unhappy and was about to say something when Nie Qianyu tugged at his clothes. Little Orange snorted and didn't know what to say.
Nie Qianyu looked for a long time and said timidly, "Brother Ren, if you insist on going south from the path, you have to be careful. Don't be left behind by the two of us."
Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have thought of something at this time, but also seemed to have forgotten something. She looked up to the sky and laughed, "There are many funny things in the world. Maybe it's boring to be concerned about it. Maybe it's supercilious or my heart is undisturbed. I only think about Ren Xiaoyao."
After saying that, she didn't sit down. She just stretched out her leg and kicked the black horse. The black horse neighed in pain and pulled the carriage straight to the official road in the east.
Zhang Xiaohua stood with her hands behind her back. The biting cold winter wind blew, causing her clothes to flutter. She looked indescribably elegant and unrestrained.
In just a moment, Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have changed into a different person, giving people the feeling that she was about to fly. Nie Qianyu and Little Orange, who were behind her, were stupefied and mumbled, "Big Brother Ren, this posture is so cool."
Little Orange's eyes were also full of stars. He said, "It would be even better if he didn't kick that leg. Someone will sue Big Brother Ren for abusing livestock."
Standing on the carriage, Zhang Xiaohua felt abnormally relaxed. It was as if the moment he turned the carriage around, he had thrown away all his previous worries, confusion, sorrow, joy, and so on. His heart was filled with great joy and relaxation. He didn't need to check his cultivation. His Carefree Heart Sutra had advanced another level.
The past was already behind him. What was in front of him now?
However, even if it was full of thorns, how could Zhang Xiaohua be afraid?
How could he take half a step back??
After dozens of days in the south, it had been more than a month. Since Zhang Xiaohua was not in a hurry, Nie Qianyu and Little Orange were even less anxious. The three of them traveled in a carefree manner.
Along the way, there was laughter and chatter. It was very pleasant.
Nie Qianyu was right. This official road was much safer. Of course, even if it was safe, it was not smooth sailing. Along the way, Zhang Xiaohua did not have many opportunities to fight, but his experience in Jianghu had increased by a lot. He also paid attention to some of the tricks used by the people in Jianghu. He only used ordinary methods to resolve them. Unless absolutely necessary, he basically did not use his sword. This was also a kind of training.
After traveling south for more than a month, the weather had warmed up. It felt like the grass was growing and the birds were flying in the sky. The willow wind caressed their faces and it was actually very warm. Zhang Xiaohua had never been to the south before. Naturally, he was a little surprised. If he was in the north during this month, it would be a little cold. However, this was a different region, so the difference was still so great.
During this journey, Zhang Xiaohua did not waste any time. Needless to say, he cultivated the Carefree Sutra at night. Even when he was driving the carriage, Zhang Xiaohua usually closed his eyes and meditated. He either cultivated the Heavenly Dao, formations, talismans, or Spirit Guidance. His arrangements were very fulfilling.
Of course, because of this, Nie Qianyu and Little Orange were not very happy. When they were heading to Ping Yang City, Zhang Xiaohua closed his eyes to cultivate and ignored them. That was because they were not familiar with Zhang Xiaohua's character and conduct. There was always a slight gap between them. After arriving at Ping Yang City, the three of them had been together for a few months and had gone through many hardships. They could be considered as friends in adversity. In their hearts, they had long regarded Zhang Xiaohua as a very close person. If he still treated him coldly at this time, it would be unbearable.
Little Orange had long wanted to talk to Zhang Xiaohua. However, Nie Qianyu was attentive. She saw that Zhang Xiaohua was always meditating when they were on the road and talking non-stop when they were resting. She knew that he might be cultivating martial arts. Although she could not cultivate her inner strength, she still had some foundation. Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was so hardworking, she was naturally very happy. Therefore, she whispered to Little Orange.
What about Little Orange?
She was very puzzled. Others cultivated in seclusion in a quiet place for fear of going berserk. This Shaoxia, on the other hand, was cultivating while driving the carriage. Was he using this as an excuse to escape?
Therefore, as long as the carriage was on the road, Nie Qianyu and Little Orange would hide in the carriage and talk non-stop. They did not disturb Zhang Xiaohua. They only waited for the carriage to stop before chatting and laughing with Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua secretly praised these two smart girls.
When it came to cultivation, the understanding of the Way of Heaven and the Heart Sutra were all painstaking efforts. She could not see any improvement in a short period of time. However, she had made great progress in other areas. She had already begun to understand the incantation on the rabbit charm in her Niwan Palace and could gradually get the hang of it. The formation and restriction in Elder Huo's jade slip had also improved by leaps and bounds. Although it was still not enough to break all the restrictions in the jade slip, it seemed like it was not far away. What made Zhang Xiaohua the most excited was the God Traction that she had just obtained. Divine sense was not like vital energy that could be refined in specific meridians. The incantation for God Traction was very difficult to pronounce and difficult to understand. Although there were detailed explanations, she did not have her master's instructions. At first, Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head as she could not find the direction to breakthrough.
Coincidentally, one day when Zhang Xiaohua was meditating on the rabbit charm in his Ni Wan Palace, he accidentally saw the Heart of Elixir Refined by Jade Blood. His heart lit up. This Heart of Elixir Refined by Pure Qi was used to refine the divine sense. Why not combine the Heart of Elixir Refined by Jade Blood with God's Guidance?
Using God Traction to refine the Heart of Herbalism?
As long as the Heart of Herbalism was refined, wouldn't the divine sense naturally become stronger?
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua tried to use the incantation to refine the Heart of Herbalism. By chance, she managed to cultivate the first layer of God Traction very easily. Many of the explanations on the jade slip were not used. Only a little bit of the incantation could be used as a reference.
Because it was so easy, Zhang Xiaohua was a little hesitant. The incantation on the jade slip clearly stated that although the incantation was simple, it was extremely difficult to cultivate. It was not something that could be easily learned. She had only put in a little bit of effort and was actually able to cultivate it. She did not know if it was correct.
However, after carefully reading the incantation on the jade slip, she found that it was no different from what she had obtained. Could it be that she was the legendary "genius"?
Zhang Xiaohua could not help but pinch her chin.
Zhang Xiaohua, who was deep in thought, did not know that the Heart of Herbalism by Blood and God Traction were both methods to refine the divine sense. However, the paths taken were different. The Heart of Herbalism by Blood was the path from the inside to the outside. First, one would cultivate the Heart of Herbalism, then strengthen the divine sense. With the Heart of Herbalism as the core, one would control the divine sense. This method was the most dangerous and also abnormally tyrannical. It was quite similar to the Samadhi of the Devil Path. Zhang Xiaohua had a splitting headache when she tried to cultivate the Heart of Herbalism. In the end, she was extremely lucky and succeeded. The success rate of this method was one in a million. It could even be said that it was the failed work of Venerable Fire Dragon.
On the other hand, God Traction was the path from the outside to the inside. First, one would strengthen the divine sense. When the divine sense was cultivated to a certain level, one would then plant a seed in the Niwan Palace. Next, one would use one's divine sense to irrigate the seed. Finally, one would form the Heart of Herbalism. This method was the most stable and safe. However, the progress was slow. Even if one cultivated for a long time, there might not be any results.
However, when the Heart of Herbalism by Blood met God Traction, it created a legend in the cultivation of the Immortal Path.
The Heart of Herbalism by Blood was similar to a cultivation method of the Devil Path. Therefore, it was extremely effective in the early stages of cultivation. However, once it was successfully cultivated, the drawbacks of the previous rash advancement would be revealed. Currently, even if Zhang Xiaohua could use the Heart of Herbalism to control the divine sense and continue to convert the vital qi in her body into Heart Fire to temper the Heart of Herbalism and strengthen the divine sense, this kind of enhancement was almost negligible. Zhang Xiaohua's vital qi was all obtained from absorbing primeval stones. Therefore, every bit used was a bit less. Calculating it, it was extremely not worth it. Therefore, recently, Zhang Xiaohua had rarely cultivated the Heart of Herbalism.
On the other hand, God's Guide was purely a "bare-handed" method. It could be cultivated using only the chants and didn't require any primal stones. From a cost perspective, it was very cost-effective. Moreover, there was a fundamental difference between cultivating God's Guide with and without God's Guide. One was to refine the branches and leaves while the other was to refine the roots. The difference was self-evident.
Without the Heart of Herbalism, ten percent of the divine sense would strengthen the Heart of Herbalism. However, with the Heart of Herbalism, one only needed to cultivate one percent of the Heart of Herbalism to strengthen the divine sense by ten percent. This reversal of the order of cultivation had directly led to the birth of a legend.
Even the creator of God Traction would not have expected such a situation. Someone actually used the incantation to temper the Heart of Herbalism instead of tempering the divine sense to produce the Heart of Herbalism. As for Zhenren Huo Long?
Needless to say, the Heart of Herbalism by Zhenren Huo Long was created by him when he was bored. Even he himself had not succeeded in cultivating the Heart of Herbalism. How could he have thought of such a strange situation?
