Eternal Tranquility

Chapter 10 Love, Hate, Life and Death



The path of cultivation is extremely boring. Every day, you constantly absorb spiritual energy from the outside world and increase your own spiritual power little by little. Fortunately, Liu Qinghuan has long been accustomed to this kind of loneliness and is very interested in cultivation, so he does not feel bored or bored, but enjoys it.

Spring passes and autumn comes, the seasons change, the fallen leaves fall, and a new spring comes.

Unconsciously, Liu Qinghuan has lived here for two years. The inside of the cave has also completely changed. The ground is smooth and clean, and a set of decent stone tables and benches are placed in the middle. There was a stone bed against the wall, covered with rich hay. Although the bedding on it was not new, it was very clean.

Liu Qinghuan, who is already thirteen years old, has grown a lot taller. He can no longer fit the original clothes, so now he is wearing a set of black clothes from the storage bag, which is only a little too big. Liu Qinghuan cut the hem and sleeves. A piece of it fell off, so I could barely wear it. Due to years of meditating and practicing in the cave, the originally dark complexion has returned to white, with a delicate appearance and a tall body. The bean sprouts from two years ago have already looked like a teenager in the blink of an eye.

A small stove was set up on the right side. The stove was filled with firewood and glowed with orange fire. There is a two-eared stove cauldron stacked on top. The mountain mushroom and pheasant soup in the cauldron has been boiled to a white and thick consistency, and is exuding an alluring fragrance.

If Xu Yuan knew that the alchemy furnace he bought with a lot of money was used by Liu Qinghuan to stew soup, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would come out of the grave and strangle him to death. Obviously there is a bottle of Bigu Pill in his storage bag, but this kid doesn't stay away from the fireworks of the world and even makes soup to eat!

At this time, Liu Qinghuan was sitting on the stone bed meditating, immersed in cultivation. In the past two years, he has spent most of his time on cultivation, and is now more than halfway to the third level of Qi training.

There are three major stages in the Qi training stage. Except for the bottlenecks at the third, sixth, and ninth stages, the rest of the stages are the process of accumulating spiritual power.

In addition to meditating, he found a jade slip that recorded the basic spells of the Five Elements among the jade slips left by Xu Yuan, which recorded basic spells such as fireball, water arrow, and so on.

Liu Qinghuan imagined that he was like Lin Huanzhi, throwing his hands into a string of fireballs, so he practiced the fireball technique with great enthusiasm. After practicing for ten days and a half, I found that he could only emit a small flame at most. I was shocked. Didn't I have the talent to learn magic?

Later, I recalled that it was mentioned later in the "Qingyu Sect Rules" that learning the Five Elements spells is determined by spiritual roots. He didn't have the fire spirit root, so he wanted to practice the fireball technique. Naturally, he got twice the result with half the effort.

So I switched to practicing the vine technique, and it turned out much smoother this time. The vine technique requires the use of plant seeds, preferably the seeds of vines with excellent toughness, and uses aura to stimulate the power of the seeds to burst out instantly, thereby entangling the enemy and restricting the actions of others.

To this end, Liu Qinghuan searched the mountains and fields, kept comparing, and finally selected the most resilient seed among them. This kind of vine grows on the cliff wall. It is like a silk thread, but it is unexpectedly very tough. Liu Qinghuan injected spiritual power into the knife, and it took two or three times to cut it.

He once entangled a black tiger with a vine technique, and then stepped forward to easily kill it with a knife. That night, Liu Qinghuan ate tiger meat stew for the first time in his life with a smile on his face.

It's just that wood spells are not as lethal as fire and metal spells, and vine spells only have the wrapping function.

If thorns are used, doesn't the vine spell bring its own damage?

Liu Qinghuan rubbed his chin and thought, but he couldn't find the thorn seeds suitable for using the vine technique, so he had to give up and wait until he encountered a suitable plant later.

Next he practiced several other spells. The aura shield forms a shield with spiritual energy to protect the whole body. It can defend against other people's attacks to a certain extent, but it only needs to consume mana from time to time. The Wood Thorn Technique uses wood spikes as a means of attack; the Earth Wall Technique involves erecting an earth wall in front of the body for defense; and the Water Arrow Technique uses water arrows to attack.

Yes, Liu Qinghuan still refused to give up. He tested all the basic spells in the jade slips and found that although the water and earth spells were not as smooth for him to practice as the wood spells, they were pretty good.

But does this mean that he has the spiritual roots of wood, water, and earth? Liu Qinghuan thought thoughtfully, the third-line spiritual roots can only be said to be average in terms of aptitude for cultivating immortals.

He also often goes deep into the mountains to practice actual combat coordination of spells. There are many ferocious beasts in the Hengwu Mountains. For the purpose of training, Liu Qinghuan took the initiative to provoke some beasts that he could handle after observing. Even so, he put himself in extremely dangerous situations several times, but because of his strength Forge ahead.

During the two years in the mountains, Liu Qinghuan lived a busy and fulfilling life, never feeling alone or lonely.

Liu Qinghuan, who was immersed in practice, suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He seemed to hear someone's voice just now, but now that he listened carefully, it seemed that he didn't hear it.

Liu Qinghuan thought for a while, then got up and walked out of the cave. The cave has been enlarged by him in the past two years to the point where he can stand and walk, but the entrance of the cave is still the same size as before. He knelt down and gently removed the stone blocking the entrance of the cave.

Sure enough, there are voices! But the sound sounded very subtle. It was a woman's moan that seemed to be in pain but was actually joy, and a man's heavy breathing.

Liu Qinghuan frowned. Although he was young and innocent, he had seen all kinds of things in the world since he was a child, so he naturally understood the meaning of this sound. But something like this suddenly appeared in this barren mountain for no reason, which made him feel deeply uneasy.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around the entrance of the cave, he carefully got out of the cave, hid behind the big tree outside the cave and looked down the mountain.

The empty mountain is silent and the stream is gurgling. On the grass next to the stream at the bottom of the mountain, I can only see...

Liu Qinghuan's breath suffocated. These two people are immortal cultivators! And judging from the clothes that were thrown away casually, they were the people from the Qingyu Sect and Huangshan Sect that he was most familiar with.

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. How come he could always meet people from these two sects everywhere? Fighting and killing each other was fine, but they were actually mixed together. It was really speechless.

It was better not to look at such an unbearable scene. He turned around quietly and was about to go back to the cave, but the scene at the next moment suddenly stopped him.

The two people at the foot of the mountain had reached the last moment, and their movements were getting faster and faster, but they heard the man roar and suddenly stopped. The accident happened at this moment!

The woman with a blurred look in her eyes was already cold, and a dagger appeared out of thin air in her hands that were tightly hugged behind the man, and she stabbed the man's neck without hesitation!

"Ka, ka..." The man who was originally immersed in a trance covered his pierced neck, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he opened his mouth to make a sound, but only a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth.

The woman's face was cold, she raised her hand to pull out the dagger, and stabbed the man's heart again without mercy!

Harmony, harmony!
