Nightwatcher

Xu Qi'an's gaze stayed on the sandalwood brocade box, the box was sealed by a force, and the light was faint.

He slowly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the brocade box.

Zhao Shou said in a low voice, "I have to remind you that when you open this box, you are officially in the game."

Xu Qi'an's face was calm: "I have awakened."

He immediately opened the box, and a bleak scarlet came into his pupils. Inside the brocade box, a blood pill the size of a pigeon egg lay quietly.

In the autumn wind, the surrounding vegetation "rustled" and swayed, the dead branches outside the pavilion spit out new tender green shoots, the ground showed sharp grass colors, and insects drilled out from the ground, flocking to the pavilion in groups.

But it was blocked outside the pavilion by a clear light gas hood.

Xu Qi'an's lips moved slightly: "Xue Dan."

Zhao Shou nodded: "Before Wei Yuan left, he left some blood pills here. He and I have worked together to deduce that whether these blood pills are kept or not will not affect the winning rate of Jingshan City.

"Thus, Wei Yuan divided a part of the blood pill and handed it over to me for safekeeping. He said that he will settle the battlefield of the Witch God Cult, and leave the battlefield in the capital to Xu Qi'an."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shou smiled with a gentle voice: "I asked him, what if Xu Qi'an couldn't be promoted to the fourth rank at that time, what should he do? He didn't answer me. Now seeing you, I understand what kind of person he was at that time. confidence."

Duke Wei had already expected this step. Xu Qi'an's eyes seemed to darken for a moment, and he looked down at Xue Dan:

"Swallow it, can I advance to the third rank?"

Zhao Shou gave an affirmative answer, saying:

"The third grade is called the immortal body. In the final analysis, its essence is a powerful vitality far beyond ordinary people. It can be reborn from a broken limb. As long as you don't die on the spot, you can recover from any kind of injury.

"The normal practice method is to temper the body day after day. It would be the best if it can be supplemented with natural treasures such as elixir. Through practice, the body will undergo transformation and the flesh and blood will be filled with vitality.

"Of course, he has a shortcut, which is to devour qi and blood, catalyze the transformation of his body with huge qi and blood, and shed his mortal body. The king of Zhenbei wanted to refine the blood pill that day, push his body to the third grade of great perfection, and upgrade his body. The probability of the second grade."

Xu Qi'an nodded slowly. Duke Huai refined the blood pills to prepare for the recovery of the concubine, which he already knew.

To be promoted to the second rank, the most critical thing is the spirit of the princess.

Duke Huai just wanted to increase the success rate, so he refined the blood pill and forcibly upgraded it to the third rank of Dzogchen. From this point, it can be seen that the core of the third-rank realm is indeed the essence of life.

Zhao Shou lightly waved his sleeves, shaking the densely packed insects outside the pavilion into dust, and continued:

"Theoretically, as long as you are promoted to the fourth rank, if you have enough powerful life essence, you can quickly advance to the third rank. But there are also failures. The blood pill is just an introduction. What a fourth rank martial artist needs to do is not to absorb it. A mortal body absorbs such a huge amount. The energy will only explode and die, just like those insects.

"The correct way is to use its life energy to cleanse and stimulate the physical body, so that your body will transform and transcend the ordinary.

"Wait for your body to transform and step into the extraordinary, and then absorb the power of the blood pill to repair the injury."

The function of the blood pill is a stepping stone, using that life energy to open the door of the extraordinary, at that time must be on the verge of death, but also has the ability to absorb the essence of the blood pill, and can use the blood pill to restore the state and repair the wound Xu Qi'an nodded: "This is not Incomprehensible."

"I set up an enchantment in the pavilion, you might as well advance here, even if you fail, I can save your life."

The meaning of Zhao Shou's words is very straightforward. For a martial artist who takes this side of the road, failure is a dead end, and the probability of failure is very high.

After Xu Qi'an asked about the refining details, he grabbed the blood pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

boom!

As soon as the blood pill entered his throat, he felt a warm current rushing into his abdomen, and then his lower abdomen seemed to explode.

In severe pain, Xu Qi'an saw the ground in front of him splattered with blood, and realized that this was not an illusion, his lower abdomen really exploded.

Puff, puff, puff. Blood holes exploded on his body surface one after another, in his chest, back, waist, etc. He was like the big devil in the story, who was stuffed with explosives by the knights, and his body was gradually collapsing.

"Contain thoughts, refine blood pills."

Zhao Shou's voice seemed to contain some kind of power, which allowed him to restrain his chaotic thoughts and get rid of the chaos.

Xu Qi'an held his breath and concentrated, using the method of breath adjustment, trying to draw the chaotic and violent life essence in his body.

But it was useless at all. Wherever this essence of life went, it brought destruction. One by one meridians were broken, cells exploded one by one, terrible wounds appeared, and spider web-like cracks appeared on his body surface.

"It's not absorption, it's through this power that my cells are extraordinary and have the characteristics of immortality, but how can I make the cells glow with new vitality?"

Seeing the vitality being wiped out bit by bit, Xu Qi'an felt unconcealable fear in his heart.

"...Wait, this is the same way that Shenshu bestowed my blood essence, the only difference is that Shenshu wiped out the willpower in the blood essence in advance."

Xu Qi'an suddenly remembered that he was different from ordinary warriors, he had two examples of absorbing the life essence of high-level warriors. According to what the dean said, I should have died the first two times.

"Ordinary warriors can only absorb the power of blood pills after their life level has been transformed, but I have already had similar behaviors, so I might as well try to absorb it directly."

With the blessing of the dean's words and powers, his thoughts were clear, and while controlling the essence of life with his thoughts, making them less violent, he tried to absorb and nourish the cells.

The annihilated cells are reborn with vitality, and then "die" again under the ravages of the blood pill, and are reborn again. Every time they are annihilated and reborn, the cells are tempered like ordinary iron.

Xu Qi'an was pleasantly surprised, he did have the foundation to directly absorb the power of blood pills, he was already half-step extraordinary. Under the blessing of Shenshu, the two precedents of absorbing blood essence laid a solid foundation for him.

Supervisor, is this also one of your gifts?

He couldn't help but think of what Shenshu said before, nurturing is mutual, it not only perfects Shenshu, but also perfects him. The supervisor must be aware of it, right?

Has he paved the way for me?

Forcibly getting rid of the fear and fear of the old silver coin, he patiently absorbed the power of the blood pill.

Time passed slowly, and I don't know how long it took. After the last life essence was absorbed, the wound on Xu Qi'an's body had already healed.

His clothes were stained with blood, but his body was as crystal clear as jade, flawless and spotless.

Zhao Shou narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Xu Yinluo, who has been promoted to the third rank and stepped into the realm of the extraordinary."

The dean is a third-rank, and I am also a third-rank. I don’t know if I can hang him. Zhao Shou is the peak of the third-rank, and he is only one step away from the second-rank. That’s okay. Xu Qi’an respectfully replied:

"Thank you, Dean, for your help."

Zhao Shou smiled and shook his head: "It's not me who helped you, but Wei Yuan, yes"

He glanced in the direction of the capital.

Xu Qi'an changed into clean and tidy clothes and came to the yard where the second uncle lived.

Lingyin and Lina were nowhere to be seen in the yard. My second uncle and Xu Lingyue sat drinking tea at the stone table, and my aunt squatted by the flowerbed to loosen the soil and water the flowers and plants.

"Master, the academy is amazing. The flowers here are invincible all the year round. Erlang told me before, but I still don't believe it."

Aunt said softly.

Uncle Xu got up in surprise and looked at his nephew who entered the yard.

One step earlier than him was Xu Lingyue, who was born in the forest with breast swallows. After the new year, she became the younger sister of a nineteen-year-old girl, and her figure became more and more exquisite and convex.

"Brother!"

Xu Lingyue choked with sobs, mixed with sorrow and joy.

After Li Miaozhen returned to Beijing, she came to the academy to tell Xu Qian the details. She was seriously injured, unconscious, and almost died.

Uncle Xu was relieved.

The aunt turned her head and saw that her nephew was unscathed, her face brightened instantly, she immediately restrained her expression, curled her lips:

"Master, I just said that this kid's life is smelly and hard, so don't worry about him."

Erlang's arrogance is inherited from his aunt.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Qi'an took out the house deed and land deed that he had prepared, and said:

"Second Uncle, I bought a house in Jianzhou. Tomorrow Maoshi, you will take your aunt and sisters and set off."

He didn't keep any money, the Xu family has money now, and there is no shortage of money and follow-up expenses.

In addition, if something happens to him, someone will give his deposit to Uncle Xu.

Second Uncle Xu opened his mouth, but didn't answer. He looked deeply at his nephew: "What about you?"

Xu Qi'an smiled and said in a calm tone, "I have no way out."

Second Uncle Xu then took over the house deed and land deed: "Okay."

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "I have been out of your business for a long time. The second uncle just regrets not seeing you marrying a wife. At least, at least you have to leave a seed for the elder brother's line, you unfilial damn thing."

He became emotional.

Forgive me for being dissolute and unrestrained in my life. Xu Qi'an offers the most sincere apology in my heart.

"Erlang, I will make arrangements, don't worry."

After Xu Qi'an finished speaking, he waved goodbye to his family.

[One: The process of things is almost like this. 】

During the private chat, No. 1 told Chu Yuanzhen exactly what happened.

Yuan Jing is the first emperor who colluded with the witch god religion to kill Wei Yuan. The first emperor wanted to characterize this battle as a failure and further shake the luck.

Chu Yuanzhen's mind was in a mess. He had already known some of this information, but he had just heard about the fact that the late emperor colluded with the Sorcerer God Sect to kill Wei Yuan.

[Four: Right now, what should we do? 】

Huaiqing did not answer this question.

She didn't know that even if she was as smart as the eldest daughter of the emperor, she would feel a little dazed and confused in the face of such a situation.

In her opinion, the only way to do this is to ask the supervisor, and only the supervisor can deal with this level of problems.

[Four: It's hard to calm down, it's hard to calm down. 】

Through the books on the ground, one could feel Chu Yuanzhen's turbulent book business spirit.

[Four: What is Xu Qi'an's opinion? 】

[One: He dragged me to ask you if you could return to Beijing before dawn tomorrow. 】

Chu Yuanzhen was startled, but he didn't answer right away, an incredible thought came to his mind.

Just at this time, Xu Qi'an's biography appeared in the underground book, and there was no private chat, but a public biography:

[There are some things that I want to tell you. 】

Except for Jinlian who was in retreat, and No. 7 and No. 8 who were disconnected, the holders of the fragments of the Book from the Ground all took out the fragments of the Book from the Ground.

[Three: Regarding the plan and purpose of the first emperor Joan of Arc, I can answer you now. 】

He, he has found out Joan's real purpose? He obviously just fell asleep, ah, as expected of you. Li Miaozhen was refreshed, anticipating and admiring.

This... I haven't digested the information that No. 1 said! Chu Yuanzhen's expression was complicated, and his eyes were fixed on the fragments of the book, for fear of missing the next information.

The true purpose of the late emperor. Huaiqing took a deep breath, his heart agitated.

Master Hengyuan was meditating in a secluded forest somewhere in Qingyun Mountain, holding fragments of the book from the ground, and watching intently.

Even Lina realized the seriousness of the situation, stopped her thoughts, and stared at the fragments of the book on the ground.

At the moment, Xu Qi'an told the conjectures of himself and the dean Zhao Shou to everyone in the chat.

a bolt from the blue.

The holders of the fragments of the Book of the Earth did not respond for a long time.

Let Dafeng become a vassal state of the Sorcerer Sect, so as to avoid the rule that luck and life cannot live forever, and become the spokesperson of the Sorcerer Sect in the Central Plains, and become an emperor and ruler in another sense.

The country of the ancestors was handed over to others, the late emperor was too obsessed.

damn jean i want to stab him right now

I don't understand it, but it sounds great

Amitabha.

Everyone in the Tiandihui received a huge shock, some were angry, some were stunned, and some suddenly realized that all the clues were connected in series.

[One: The first emperor, he is already crazy. 】

Everyone has desires, but for the sake of desires, regardless of everything, to achieve this step, it can only be said that the late emperor was polluted by the Taoist head of the earth, and his obsession was too deep, and his obsession became a demon.

[Four: What I don't understand is how to make Dafeng a vassal state? 】

Chu Yuanzhen's words aroused intense discussion among the crowd.

[One: The fate of the country is scattered, the world is in chaos, and the Witch God Sect takes advantage of the situation to attack the Central Plains? 】

[Two: This possibility is not ruled out, but after Wei Yuan's sweep and the Battle of Yuyang Pass, the Witch God Cult suffered a great loss. Even if Dafeng is in chaos, the cheapest ones are probably the Buddhists of the Western Regions. 】

Hengyuan and Lina didn't express their opinions, one was not good at analyzing these things, and the other was that pure IQ was not enough.

[Three: Joan will still take action. Shaking luck is not the last step. What he does next is the most critical. But I won't give him a chance. 】

[What are you going to do? 】

Everyone sent this message almost at the same time.

Xu Qi'an was silent for a long time, and wrote slowly:

[I want to kill the king! 】

Among the fragments of the book from the ground, there was silence.

I want Kingslayer to see these four words, everyone's hands trembled slightly.

Huaiqing's mind was in confusion.

Chu Yuanzhen was dissatisfied with Yuan Jing's cultivating Taoism back then, he resigned from office to practice swordsmanship, and traveled the rivers and lakes, although his words and attitudes expressed his dissatisfaction and disdain for Yuan Jing everywhere.

But he never thought about the word regicide.

Living in this era, whether you admit it or not, your thoughts will be influenced by concepts such as "the ruler and his ministers, father and son", "the ruler wants his ministers to die, and his ministers must die".

Killing the king was something he had never thought about anyway.

Li Miaozhen is the saint of Tianzong and has not received Confucian education, but she also lives in this era and knows the concept and meaning of the word "king".

She used to say that stabbing Yuanjing to death was more about venting her emotions.

[Three: People have no way, and heaven cuts them down. If you have no way, I will cut it down. Everyone, would you like to help me? 】

Xu Ningyan is really a lawless martial artist. Everyone's heart was agitated.

[Two: Good. 】

[Four: Good. 】

[Five: Good. 】

[Six: Good. 】

After a long time, there was finally a message from No. 1: [. Good. 】

[Three: Priest Jinlian, what do you think. 】

After waiting for a while, Xu Qi'an was relieved before getting a reply from Taoist Master Jinlian, and sent a letter: 【I will tell you the plan in detail. 】
