Chapter 9: Leaps and Bounds

Besides, Xiao Mian fell asleep for three days and three nights before he woke up.

Blindfolded, Xiao Mian only felt that his whole body was warm, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.

Curious, Xiao Mian's eyes widened and he looked around.

It is indeed a hot spring, although it is not very large, but there is a mist that swirls back and forth, which looks like a real thing.

"Are you finally awake? Hmph! See if you kid will dare to act so recklessly in the future!"

"Master?"

Xiao Mian followed the prestige, and sure enough, he saw Yuan Xuzhen standing by the hot spring, looking at him condescendingly.

Xiao Mian was about to get up and salute, but was stopped by Yuanxu Zhenren.

"That's it, you're badly wounded, so you don't need to be polite. I only asked Chengfeng to ask you to perform well in the Shenglong Dou, don't fall into the reputation of being a teacher, but I didn't let you work so hard?

"This ...... , it's all to blame for the incompetence of the disciples!"

"Yes, you are indeed incompetent! Since you know that you are incompetent, then start a new cultivation with a more diligent attitude! But there is no hurry, this time you kid can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, if it weren't for your heavy physical injury, the gold and stone effect is weak, as a teacher, I am really reluctant to put you in this 'Earth Fire Dragon Spring' to heal your injuries!"

"Earth Fire Dragon Spring, thank you Master for your kindness!"

However, it turns out that this Earth Fire Dragon Spring is a kind of Earth Heart Question Spring, and it is one of the high-grade ones, and it is said that it contains a trace of the power of the fire dragon bloodline......

Xiao Mian naturally didn't feel the blood of the fire dragon, but soaked in the fire dragon spring in this place, his whole body was warm, not to mention the injury, but his cultivation seemed to have improved to a higher level.

After that, it was seven days and seven nights, and Xiao Mian left the Earth Fire Dragon Spring.

Yuan Xuzhen Zhenren seemed to be in a very good mood, and not only patiently answered some doubts about Xiao Mian's cultivation in the cave mansion, but also gave Xiao Mian a lot of elixirs - this made Xiao Mian very happy, and there was indeed not much left of the elixir he had in hand.

But when he walked out of the cave of Yuanxu Zhenren, Xiao Mian unexpectedly saw someone.

Ten layers of qi cultivation - Shao Siyuan!

The two were a little embarrassed to see each other.

Fortunately, Shao Siyuan was exceptionally admitted to the inner disciples, and he has been in a good mood these days, and Xiao Mian has also gained a lot of benefits, and the two looked at each other and smiled, but there was no mustard.

But even so, neither of them had any intention of talking deeply.

After nodding in greeting, passing by, Shao Siyuan entered the cave of Yuanxu Zhenren, and Xiao Mian walked towards his own small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

Suddenly, a figure flashed out of thin air.

Holding the folding fan in his hand, the man chuckled lightly - he had already laid out a clever plan, and he didn't believe that Xiao Mian, a young man who had just debuted, would not take the bait!

said Xiao Mian, unaware that he had been designed.

Xiao Mian's original intention was to continue his cultivation immediately after returning to his small courtyard, striving to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, so as to live up to the master's kindness.

This time, although Xiao Mian won the palace with two wins and one draw, he closed the palace perfectly.

But none of the three battles was won by Xiao Mian's own strength.

That's not all, before the start of the Ascending Dragon Fight, the rumors that Xiao Mian heard were enough to make this young man who was quite proud of himself feel red-faced.

Thousands of outer disciples came to participate in the Shenglong Fight, for the sake of him, Xiao Mian.

But it turned out that in the entire Five Elements Gate, he Xiao Mian was regarded as a laughing stock!

This time is because Shenglong Dou stipulates that each inner disciple only needs to accept the challenge of three people, otherwise, how could Xiao Mian deal with the past so easily?

That's it, and all kinds of talismans were wasted, three explosive pills!

Get stronger!

Only by becoming stronger can we gain a foothold!

It is with this mentality that Xiao Mian's heart towards the Tao is stronger.

I didn't want that when Xiao Mian returned to his small courtyard, there were already people waiting for him.

Looking at the elegant woman sitting in the hall, Xiao Mian's eyebrows unconsciously tufted.

"Dare to ask this senior sister ......"

"I'm not your senior sister!" Interrupting Xiao Mian's words coldly, the woman put down the teacup in her hand, raised her head to look at Xiao Mian, and said expressionlessly: "My surname is Fu Qingqiong, but I am an outer disciple of the tenth level of qi training, and I am ordered by Yuanxu Zhenren, from today onwards, I will teach you all kinds of qi cultivation methods!"

"Master's order, teach me to practice qi?"

Looking at the woman who claimed to be Fu Qingqiong with some inquiry, Xiao Mian only felt that although this woman was not beautiful, she had a different kind of elegant demeanor.

Thinking that he has been cultivating for a few years, it is the age of the blood and qi, and he is nourished by all kinds of tonic medicines of Yuanxu Zhenren on weekdays, and at first glance he sees the opposite sex at a young age, and he can't help but lose his mind.

When Fu Qingqiong saw this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Hum!

At this young age, Xiao Mian shouldn't be a prodigal son, right?

How could it be that the Tianyang Transformation Bone Pill should be on his body, and he could only see the moves......

"Senior Brother Xiao, Senior Brother Xiao!"

"Oh, oh, is there something wrong with Senior Sister Fu?"

"I'm asking you: Can we start cultivating now?" Glancing at Xiao Mian coldly, Fu Qingqiong said categorically: "Although Qingqiong is only an outer disciple, she also wants to build a foundation smoothly, and she also needs to cultivate herself, even if she has the life of Yuanxu Zhenren, it is impossible for me to waste too much time on you and waste my cultivation!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"

After realizing his gaffe, Xiao Mian tightened his mind, and while forcibly suppressing the churning blood, he introduced Fu Qingqiong into his quiet room.

From this day on, Fu Qingqiong would come to Xiao Mian's courtyard every ten days, check Xiao Mian's progress every time she came, and then assign him the most reasonable cultivation steps according to Xiao Mian's progress, such as which meridian to open first, and the trick of opening each acupuncture point on the meridian.

It was only at this time that Xiao Mian knew: it turned out that opening up the acupoints was not a charge with true qi, but it could also change the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the method, and there were different ways of running true qi for different acupoints, and even some acupoints must be easily opened at a specific time, and at other times it was half the effort.

This opened Xiao Mian's eyes and benefited a lot, in just half a year, he opened up the fifth meridian, and a year later, he opened the sixth meridian, and once again advanced to the sixth level of cultivation in the Qi cultivation period.

During this period, under Fu Qingqiong's teaching, he even mastered some simple spells.

Among them, there is the push wind palm used by Li Gu that day.

Xiao Mian's cultivation speed may not be fast for a person with good qualifications like Lu Chengfeng, but with his five elements and miscellaneous spiritual roots, this is simply more vigorous than taking pills.

What made Xiao Mian even happier was the change in Fu Qingqiong's attitude towards him, at first Fu Qingqiong was preconceived, and she couldn't help but be cold to Xiao Mian.

Xiao Mian was also ashamed of himself and didn't dare to say anything.

Gradually, the two slowly got acquainted, and Xiao Mian knew that Fu Qingqiong was not silent because he looked down on him, but that his parents died when he was a child, and only one of his younger brothers was born with illness, but fortunately he was taken in by the sect and lived with Fu Qingqiong.

Fu Qingqiong is not good at communicating with people by nature.

After understanding this, Xiao Mian often had nothing to say, and often searched his stomach in order to make the beautiful people smile.

It's just that every time he thinks that Fu Qingqiong's cultivation is much higher than his own, Xiao Mian is depressed for a while-although Xiao Mian has opened up the six meridians a year and a half later, Fu Qingqiong has opened the last two meridians in his body in the same time, and successfully cultivated to the realm of the Great Perfection of the Qi Cultivation Period, which also makes Xiao Mian realize that the time he and Fu Qingqiong may not get along for too long.

Sure enough, his hunch was validated today.

"What? Are you going to the Valley of Trials to find the herbs to refine the 'Zhuji Dan'?" Hearing Fu Qingqiong's reason, Xiao Mian asked in some surprise: "Zhuji Dan? Isn't the master going to give it? Why do you want to find the spirit grass yourself to refine?"

After listening to Xiao Mian's question, Fu Qingqiong's already somewhat cold face looked even colder.

"Do you think that everyone has an elder who is good at alchemy as a master? Do you think that every master has the ability to prepare a foundation pill for his disciples? Do you think ...... Forget it, what am I telling you to do this!?"

The more Fu Qingqiong spoke, the more angry she became, and she didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Mian later.

Xiao Mian was speechless, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case, at least as far as he knew, one of the conditions for the inner disciples of the Five Elements Sect was that they had to build a foundation, and he Xiao Mian was an exception - it was precisely because of this that Huang Fuying was so out of shape back then.

Seeing that Fu Qingqiong turned around and left after speaking, Xiao Mian blurted out in a hurry: "Let me go with you!"

As soon as the words came out, Xiao Mian regretted it: With Fu Qingqiong's cold temperament, it is impossible to let herself go with her, let alone what she is doing with her, is it a burden to be a full-time job?

However, Fu Qingqiong's answer was beyond Xiao Mian's expectations.

“...... If you want to follow, follow along!"
