Tao and Heaven

Chapter 27 Refining the Blue Eyed Water Pearl

When the cock crowed, Yu Hua left in the final darkness.

Gu Wen watched the other party leave. He saw Yu Hua leap more than ten meters and then slide a hundred meters away. He didn't know whether the other party used some kind of treasure or magic.

Gu Wen returned to the room, sat in front of the candlelight and looked at the blue-eyed girl.

As soon as he thought about it, a phantom of a small loach appeared and wrapped around his wrist. The true energy in his body was slowly and continuously sucked away by it, and at the same time, he felt a stream of flattering thoughts coming from it.

The blue-eyed water pearl was completely surrendered.

Gu Wen put his mind into it, and a ray of enlightenment emerged.

[This pearl is born in the water veins, nurtured by the energy of longevity. If placed in the Dantian, it will be twice as effective as refining the energy and transforming it into essence. Holding it, it will control the water and transform into a shape. Also, due to the legacy of the spirit beast, the mucus dissolves attacks, and the defense is very good.]

Speed ​​up your practice, control water, and defend!

Gu Wen couldn't hide his excitement. He looked around for a moment, then held the magic treasure in his hand and pointed at the half cup of water on the table. A ball of boiled water flew out and hovered above his palm.

Increasing his magic power, the water ball took shape, and a layer of water film wrapped around Gu Wen, which felt sticky to the touch, like a lubricant.

A punch was thrown out, like hitting jelly.

hiss!
Gu Wen was immediately cheered up and couldn't help but smile.

Now he had the inner skills, the spiritual treasure, and a life-saving pill given by Yu Hua. His life-saving method had finally taken shape, and he had a little bit of the meaning of a cultivator.

Then Gu Wen tried to practice again, his Qi circulated around his body, and the blue-eyed water beads emitted a wisp of coldness, while his Qi seemed to accelerate forward on the east wind. When he circulated Qi, the spirit loach seemed to have turned into a part of his meridians, giving him an extra highway.

The speed of cultivation increased by an estimated one-fifth.

This continued until dawn. In just one hour, the 'mind', one of the five internal organs required to break through the third level of Taoism, had advanced by one thousandth.

Practicing ten hours a day is one percent, and one hundred days will complete one of the five internal organs. It takes about two years to reach the third level!
Well.
Gu Wen was silent for a moment and thought that he should look for Tiansui first.

Breaking through one level in two years should be the normal speed of practice, but he does not have so much time to grind slowly.

Boom boom boom!
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Jiang Fugui's voice came: "Master, are you awake?"

Gu Wen suppressed all his unusual thoughts and said, "Come in."

Jiang Fugui pushed the door open and walked in. With a flushed face, he handed over the account book and said, "Sir, this is the dividends given to you by the major brothels. The total is 1,250 taels."

One year of Tiansui is recorded in the account.

Gu Wen nodded and said, "You did a great job. I'll take one thousand taels, and the remaining change is yours."

"Oh my, this is not just a small amount, this is the whole thing with bones and flesh." Jiang Fugui laughed so hard that his mouth split open. Then he took out a small box from his sleeve and opened it to reveal a yellow pill.

"This is the Dragon Tiger Pill you requested. The price is fifty taels of silver per pill."

Gu Wen was even more satisfied. He took it and put it in his mouth. The outer shell was made of sugar and the inside was bitter, but it wouldn't have much impact if he swallowed it directly.

But the point is not this, what he needs is Tiansui.

The fate was slightly shaken, as if a streak of fire appeared in the sea of ​​energy in the sky.

The amount of Tiansui increases by more than one-fiftieth of that of Yaoguo, about one-tenth of Tiansui.

Gu Wen was excited. He was sure that the medicines in Bian Jing that made him look like a waste of money and were ridiculously expensive were most likely all magical medicines, all containing Tiansui and Dijiang.

Jiang Fugui was dumbfounded and said, "Master, do you want me to find a cleaner for you? This medicine will take effect, and it will hurt your body if you don't drain it out."

"I've been practicing a set of internal martial arts recently and I need some medicinal support. Don't tell anyone." Gu Wen shook his head and explained, "I need a large amount of Dragon and Tiger Pills. I remember they are from Qianfeng Tower."

Jiang Fugui replied: "That's right, but the purchase of this thing is limited. If you want a lot, you probably have to go to Qianfeng Tower in person."

Gu Wen pondered.

Fifty medicinal fruits can produce one load of heavenly marrow, costing one thousand taels.

Ten Dragon-Tiger Pills per year cost five hundred taels.

But the Dragon Tiger Pill will expose itself, but it can be covered up by sex. At present, there is no other channel, and it is impossible to wait and see. There is no such thing as a foolproof method in the world.

Now I still have 12,000 taels of silver, and I have to spend it quickly. Without Bian Jing, I don’t know where in the world I can buy elixirs.
-
It was early morning again, and Yu Hua climbed over the wall into the hospital.

She yawned loudly, and the old donkey lying at the gate of the courtyard came over slowly and said, "Little ancestor, you are not really in love, are you? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I can't understand why the boy from the Zhao family is not as good as him."

Yu Hua ignored the corrupt and bribe-taking mule and walked towards the house.

The old donkey followed behind him and chattered non-stop.

"Let's not talk about anything else. He has a father who is a True Lord, and he holds the destiny of the Chengxian Dynasty. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a natural son. Of course, for you, anyone who comes is condescending, but if you really want to experience the world, you can't just bury your head in yourself..."

"enough."

Yu Hua's originally gentle voice rose slightly. The sleepiness and fatigue did not upset her, but the old donkey compared Gu Wen with Zhao Feng and belittled the former, which made her unbearable.

It is true that she had no extra thoughts about Gu Wen, but that doesn't mean someone would compare a piece of jade with a fecal stone and say that the fecal stone is better.

And I don’t know how much benefits it has received this time. Even if it is just a message, it makes people feel uneasy.

"How much benefit did you receive this time?"

Yu Hua only let out a little emotion, then he retracted it, so that Lao Lu couldn't detect anything wrong from his tone.

Moreover, due to the limitations of heaven and earth, even the most powerful ones are still mortal. Outside, it can move mountains and fill the sea, but here, it can at most lead Yu Hua to escape safely among thousands of troops. As Yu Hua's elder, Lao Lu would not speculate on her mood according to common sense. Instead, he smiled and said, "The benefits are always collected. This is all for the great plan of the sect. The faster and higher my foundation is, the safer you will be."

"But I am not a matchmaker. I always keep my word. This morning, Zhao Feng came to visit me again. I sensed that he has a bit more spiritual charm. I'm afraid he has already entered the Dao."

There is no love without reason. Emperor Daojun has so many sons and daughters, why is Zhao Feng, the ninth son, so favored? Not only is he allowed to open a government office in Bianjing and become a prince, but he also spent a lot of money to steal the fairy fate of the Gu family.

Today, I found out that Zhao Feng had extraordinary talent and could even build a Taoist foundation.

Among the nine sons of a dragon, he should be the best one.

This is the standard for successors of large sects. Sanqing Dao Sect may not produce one in decades, but this is the standard for holy places of Dao. For some small and medium-sized sects, a genius may not appear for a thousand years.

"The nine sons of the Zhao family are also considered geniuses."

After reading it, Laolu added: "This one is for money, but it is also true."

"Introduction to the Dao Building?"

Yu Hua had a strange look on her face, although she also agreed with this statement, that having a Dao foundation meant one had become a true lord, and that one would be a pillar in any sect.

But she had someone who had successfully built the Tao in four days by her side, so it was a bit funny for Zhao Feng, who had just gotten started, to come and confront her.

As the son of the True Lord, Zhao Feng had great luck and consumed countless miraculous elixirs. From the account book on Gu Wen's bookshelf, it was known that the water room provided him with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, and it was difficult to estimate how many miraculous elixirs he consumed.

It is normal for a genius to consume a lot of resources, and being able to quickly consume and transform them into foundation is a talent.

But with Gu Wen in front, Zhao Feng was as gloomy as a dung stone in a toilet.

Lao Lu thought Yu Hua was surprised and continued, "The Zhao family has a deep foundation, so it's normal for a genius to emerge. This could be a problem."

"Is this because the Zhao family didn't give you enough benefits?"

Yu Hua was somewhat surprised and unavoidably sarcastic. The old donkey was not annoyed, but said with a grin, "If you can accept someone as a dog, I support you. If you don't want to, I dare not ask for it. But do you really think the Zhao family is as stupid as Zhao Feng?"

"Young people are foolish because of their love, while aristocratic families are wise because of their thousands of years of love. The Zhao family is not stupid. Moreover, there is a True Lord behind him. The Dao Lord Emperor cannot move, but Zhao Feng can."

Yu Hua sensed the murderous intent in the other person's words and asked, "Do you want to kill him?"

The old donkey shook his head and said, "I don't want it to come to that, but he is indeed a threat."

Do you have to kill people if there is a threat?
The True Lords in the sky are no longer the same kind as the creatures on the earth, just as the sect's sacred beast in front of him would not hesitate to take benefits for himself, and just as the sect would not ask him about the replacement of the protector.

Yu Hua felt more and more that Gu Wen must not be exposed. If he was discovered by this old donkey, he would surely die.

Will it listen to me then?

Even she couldn't help but have a hint of murderous intent. If she had to choose between the two, it was undeniable that Yu Hua had the intention to kill her own guardian. She had the ability to do so, but it would cost her a huge price, so great that it would leave her with uncontrollable defects.

But the descendants of the Gu family spend four days building the Dao and one day refining the spirit. What can you, a card-eating donkey, compare with?

Moreover, up to now, the Zhao family has been trying every means to establish connections, and the sect's guardians have been recklessly accepting benefits. Currently, the only clue about the elixir of immortality was provided by Gu Wen.

What's the use of them?

There have always been rumors among the elders of the sect, as to why her, the master of the Yuqing Sect, wanted the entire Dao Sect to contribute.

The Dharma Protector and I may not be in the same boat.

They were repeatedly used to exchange interests with the Zhao family. Although they were insignificant things, the fruitless warnings made people unable to sleep or eat.

People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs, but Yu Hua can hear the filth in people's hearts. Judging from the deeds, not the heart, there is nothing wrong, but the frequent ignoring and small actions are deepening the rift.

Yu Hua said faintly: "Please protect me and don't leak my information anymore."

"You girl, don't you trust me?" The old donkey said with an unreliable look of a patriarch. "I know my limits and I won't say anything I shouldn't."

"The senior's sense of propriety may not be my sense of propriety."

Yu Hua suppressed her killing intent and changed the subject, saying, "The immortality elixir must have stayed in the Longquan Well before, otherwise it would not have been possible to breed a spirit beast, a spirit beast that could be hung up and chopped to death."

Without anyone to teach, one can only rely on the precious land to open one's wisdom.

When talking about the elixir of immortality, Laolu suddenly became serious: "So the elixir of immortality is in the Dragon Spring Well?"

"It's not there, it just stayed there. If it was there, the spirit beast wouldn't have died so easily." Yu Hua shook his head.

"The immortality elixir requires the essence of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. According to the sect's calculations, the secret is still in the water element. But the water veins are thousands of miles long and deep, and we can't be sure until we capture their shape."

"Senior, please ask the Zhao family to prepare a boat for me. I want to go to Qianjiang to have a look."

Yu Hua entered the room, closed the door, took off his hat and lay on the bed.

Under the draped curtains, she took out the book she had taken from Gu Wen and immersed herself in the words and ink inside.

"The spring river tide reaches the sea level, and the bright moon rises with the tide on the sea"

This time she no longer paid attention to the finishing touch of the quatrain, but instead read the opening.

"Does he like swimming in the river?"

Tiredness set in and she soon began to make small nasal noises.
