Chapter 912
Chapter 912
Zhang Xiaohua did not have much vital energy in her body to begin with. As the stone tablet was refined, the vital energy in her meridians decreased. Fortunately, the stone tablet was not big and the senior had said that he was only testing her cultivation to see if she was a disciple of the Incense Cult. Therefore, when she had exhausted all the vital energy in her body, most of the stone tablet had turned pale gold.
"My fellow cultivator's cultivation … Haha, it's really not ordinary … It's beyond I's expectations. This stone tablet is actually a little short of being refined. Don't tell me you don't have vital stones or Qi Replenishing Pills on you?"
"Qi Replenishing Pills?"
Zhang Xiaohua was taken aback. She said loudly, "I don't have any Qi Replenishing Pills, but I do have some vital stones. Please wait a moment, senior."
As he spoke, he took out a primal stone with his other hand. He absorbed the primal energy from the primal stone and refined it in his meridians. Then, he sent the refined primal energy into the stone tablet. Before long, the stone tablet was covered in a faint golden color. It looked like a piece of gold. Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were filled with envy.
"My fellow cultivator's cultivation is considered to have mastered the essence of cultivation. Please follow the stone tablet and completely refine it. Perhaps there will be some surprises!"
Zhang Xiaohua was very embarrassed. She said softly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, my fellow cultivator … I don't know what my vital energy is and I don't know how to use it!"
After a long time, the voice was very surprised. "My fellow cultivator, why are you not using your vital energy?
Oh, could it be that my fellow cultivator doesn't know how to use it? "
"Nonsense ~" Zhang Xiaohua cursed in her heart. "I already told you, but you pretended not to know. What kind of person are you!"
In an instant, the immortal senior's lofty image was reduced by a lot.
"Hmm, my fellow cultivator's cultivation is indeed a little low. You actually broke into the Five Elements Divination Formation with your late Qi Refinement Stage cultivation. You really … have a fearless spirit!"
Fine, I might as well just say that you don't know the meaning of death ~
"Fellow Daoist, please take a closer look. This is how to use true life essence. It's supposed to be used by Foundation Establishment Qi Practitioners. I don't know if you'll be able to use it. If you can't, then put this stone stele into your bag of holding and wait until you reach Foundation Establishment before refining it."
Zhang Xiaohua's face was completely red. She had no choice but to calm down and wait for the voice to explain how to use her life essence. Only then did she understand that this life essence … was to be spat out like this!
Although Zhang Xiaohua knew how to spit out her Life Origin Qi, it was still extremely difficult for her to do it according to the instructions of the senior. The Life Origin Qi seemed to be at the tip of her tongue, but she just couldn't spit it out …
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist, there's no need to blame yourself. Cultivation time doesn't matter. Perhaps Fellow Daoist has just stepped onto the path of immortality a few decades ago. It's already commendable for you to have reached the high level of Qi Refinement. This stone tablet is already Fellow Daoist's. Please keep it well. I will bring Fellow Daoist over!"
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was greatly surprised. "A few decades?
It's commendable for me to reach the late stage of Qi Refinement in a few decades?
En, that's true. I've only cultivated for four to five years and have only reached the middle stage of Qi Refinement. Wouldn't it take me a few decades to reach the late stage?
But, why did this senior say that I'm at the late stage of Qi Refinement? "
Just as she was thinking, a red dot suddenly appeared on the stone wall beside her. This red dot slowly rotated and expanded until it was half a person's height before stopping. When Zhang Xiaohua looked carefully, she saw that it was a continuously rotating passage!
She heard the voice coming from the passage. "Fellow Daoist, please come in quickly. I have limited true life essence and can't hold on for long."
"Through here?"
Zhang Xiaohua quickly put the golden stone tablet into her belt. She pointed at the passage that was half a person's height and asked, "How do I get in?
Don't tell me I have to crawl in? "
There was no reply from the other side of the passage. After a while, the voice urged her again. "Fellow Daoist, please come in quickly. Otherwise, this passage will collapse!"
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she didn't dare to delay. She gritted her teeth and crawled in. Fortunately, although Zhang Xiaohua was tall, she was very skinny. When she crouched down, the passage wasn't too cramped.
Zhang Xiaohua entered the passage and was about to crawl in when she felt that the passage began to slowly rotate again. It actually brought her forward …
"Aiyo, what a divine ability. This passage can even bring people in!"
Zhang Xiaohua praised. Then, she realized that the other party didn't ask her to crawl in. Hence, she bent her legs and sat down cross-legged. This rotating red passage was just right!
Perhaps the other party wanted Zhang Xiaohua to sit down like this!
The passage wasn't long and she reached it in a short while. When she saw the light at the exit, Zhang Xiaohua turned her head and looked behind her. It was already dark and she couldn't see the entrance!
This was a stone chamber carved out of jade. It was very similar to the secret chamber Zhang Xiaohua had seen at Lingering Fragrance Peak. On the pure white wall, there were three paintings. One of the paintings was a man in embroidered clothes. He held a long saber in his hand as he rode on a horse. It was as if the wind was brushing against his face. The man's clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look extremely heroic!
Behind the man was a mountain rock. At this moment, the mountain rock was emitting a faint red light. It began to expand from a small point until it was half the height of a person. Then, a tall and skinny young man sitting cross-legged appeared from the light. It was Zhang Xiaohua.
When Zhang Xiaohua saw the light, the passage stopped. She jumped out of the passage. When she looked behind her, she saw the faint red light on the mountain rock gradually shrinking and finally disappearing.
"This … I actually came out from the painting?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. Then, she realized that the three paintings on the wall were exactly the same as the one in the white jade secret room at Lingering Fragrance Peak. Looking at the hall, she couldn't help but howl in her heart, "I can't bring this secret room with me. Why did I see it?"
"Eh?
This hall is the same as Lingering Fragrance Peak. There isn't anyone here. Don't tell me I have to go somewhere else? "
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said loudly, "Senior, I've already reached the main hall. Do you still want to go somewhere else?"
"No need, no need. Fellow Daoist, please wait for a moment. I will come out now."
As she spoke, the painting that Zhang Xiaohua walked down suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Then, a figure appeared below the painting. It was exactly the same as the one in the painting!
"Ah?"
Zhang Xiaohua was shocked when she saw it. This senior I I looked at her for a long time. Zhang Xiaohua thought that he was an old man with white hair and a youthful face. Who would have thought that he was actually a man in embroidered clothes? Moreover, he came out from the painting.
Zhang Xiaohua immediately went forward and bowed. "I am Zhang Xiaohua. Greetings, Senior Immortal."
Unexpectedly, the man ignored her and smiled faintly. "Fellow Daoist, perhaps when you saw I, you already knew. Yes, with your Qi Refining Late Stage, you might not know. I left behind a trace of Primordial Spirit projection. I had already fallen long before you came here!"
"Primordial Spirit?
Projection? "Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. This … what is this!
He is already dead. How can he still speak?
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua understood why there was no reaction at all when she said so much outside. It turned out that the man was just talking to himself and couldn't hear what she said.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist, don't panic. Perhaps you haven't heard of Primordial Spirit projection, but you don't have to be afraid. This is only a trace of Primordial Spirit. It can't harm Fellow Daoist, and it can't possess Fellow Daoist. Moreover, this projection has been consumed for many years, and its True Essence has long been exhausted.
If Fellow Daoist had come two years later, even this trace of Primordial Spirit projection of I wouldn't have been able to see it! "
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she couldn't help but feel relieved. What possession? What Primordial Spirit? What True Essence? He didn't understand any of it. However, when he heard that the True Essence had been exhausted, he understood that the Qi of Heaven and Earth was scarce, and the Path of Immortality had been annihilated. This man must be a Path of Immortality. Perhaps his cultivation was higher than Elder Huo's, but he probably couldn't survive and had already passed away. Elder Huo left behind his remains, but this man left behind a Primordial Spirit projection!
However, Zhang Xiaohua was still respectful. She bowed and said, "I am a junior, and I really don't know anything. Please enlighten me, Senior!"
Then, she looked up and down at the light projection. Although the light projection was the size of a real person, it looked very illusory. There were even many places that were blank. It must be the so-called lack of True Essence that prevented it from being drawn.
Actually, this was also one of the reasons. When she saw that Zhang Xiaohua was standing at the side of the man, and the man was actually talking to the front instead of directly facing Zhang Xiaohua, she knew that it wasn't a real person!
Sure enough, the light projection ignored Zhang Xiaohua's words and continued, "I left behind this Primordial Spirit projection to leave traces of me so that my descendants could find this place. However, this should be the territory of the Fragrant Religion. How can the disciples of the Shendao Sect come and go as they please?
Moreover, after my death, this Five Elements Formation must have become the forbidden area of the Fragrant Religion. Their own disciples can't enter, so how can the Shendao Sect come?
Moreover … even if the disciples of the Shendao Sect found this place and had the opportunity to meet me, who knows how many years it would have been. Who would still remember me? "
"Shendao Sect?" Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "Senior, there doesn't seem to be a Shendao Sect in this Jianghu!"
The glowing figure continued, "Therefore, this poor Daoist thinks that as long as you are not a disciple of the Fragrant Cult, this poor Daoist can tell you about my own matters. Please bring this poor Daoist's news back to the Godly Knife Sect!"
"But senior, this disciple doesn't know where the Shendao Sect is."
Zhang Xiaohua forgot that the light projection couldn't hear her voice.
At this moment, the light projection waved the knife in his hand and sighed. He pointed at the stone wall and said, "Fellow Daoist, have you seen the four paintings on the wall?"
"Four paintings?"
Zhang Xiaohua was surprised and said, "There are only three paintings on the wall. Oh, there should be another painting in the empty space, but … it was taken away by someone!"
