Eternal Tranquility

Liu Qinghuan could not fathom how big this void space was. Apart from darkness, there was nothing here, and he could not even feel the passage of time.

Although he had killed a fourth-level monster before, it was obvious that this transformed mirage was much more powerful and cunning than the monster ape. The other party didn't even have a chance to have close contact with him. After leaving him here, there was no trace of him again.

People always have an almost instinctive fear of darkness, especially when they are surrounded by a deafening silence. Over time, without illusions or coercion, they can torture themselves to the point of going crazy.

Liu Qinghuan could not break through the space of the fourth-level mirage. At first, he was impatient, bored, and at a loss. The war in the outside world was still raging, and Dushuo Mountain was nowhere to be found. He had been trapped in the Yin Yue Blood Realm for five or six years, and he did not know when. Only then could he return to Yunmengze... But slowly, all the worries and anxieties were reduced. This empty space blocked all his actions. He no longer had to think about what to do tomorrow, what to do tomorrow, but he had A kind of peace that comes with ease.

Since the outbreak of the Seal War, Liu Qinghuan has been traveling around all these years and has never had a day of peace. Even when he concealed his identity in the Eagle's Nest City for more than ten years, he was always paying attention to the news from the outside world. It has been a long time since he had such leisurely time to do nothing, although this leisurely time was forced.

I don't know when, he naturally sat down cross-legged in the void. As the mind method of sitting and forgetting the Immortality Sutra was running, all kinds of distracting thoughts burst like bubbles, and his whole body and mind were completely silent in the darkness.

In the nothingness, you can't feel the passage of time, maybe months, maybe years. The figure sitting cross-legged is like a heartless and clueless stone statue, as if it will sit there until the end of the world and the seas and rocks rot.

During this period, the mirage that transformed into a female cultivator peeked quietly from the side. Several times, only a sitting figure was seen. It was quite boring, and gradually she didn't like to look at it anymore.

She wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take action, but Liu Qinghuan had been prepared for it, and the Green Lotus Karma Fire fell quietly on his shoulders, looking extremely dazzling in the darkness.

The previously blurry shadow in the little lotus flower was now a little clearer, and a boy with a short stature could be vaguely seen rolling around very nimbly, doing somersaults from time to time, or grabbing Liu Qinghuan's long hair and swinging back and forth, looking carefree. of innocence. It's a pity that this can't cover up its ferocious nature that burns nothing!

This small cluster of green lotus karmic fire has already activated its spiritual wisdom, and it still remembers part of the flame that was "eaten" by the mirage. It's also because of its bad luck. There are very few things in this world that can restrain an existence like it, but it happened to stumble on a "little monster". It's really annoying!

However, everything is mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other, even the Chaos Qinglian that "gives birth" to it is not an invincible existence, not to mention that it is just a small incomplete flame.

However, it has remembered this hatred. As soon as it notices the slightest fluctuation in the void, it will immediately pounce on it like a starving creature pounces on food, scaring the mirage that dares to play with the illusion to no longer dare to act rashly.

As a result, this empty space truly fell into silence, and there were no more waves.

Liu Qinghuan's state of mind was completely transparent after entering concentration. Although her eyes were closed, she took everything in her eyes. With the protection of the green lotus karma fire and nothing else to do, he just let himself sit down.

He didn't know what kind of state he was in now. It seemed like enlightenment but not like enlightenment. Maybe there was nothing. There was only silence and nothingness left in his whole body.

Until a certain moment, Liu Qinghuan suddenly "awoke" from his trance and opened a pair of starry eyes as dark as ink, with restrained brilliance.

When he woke up, he felt relaxed and at ease all over, as if he had broken free from some constraints invisibly, and his state of mind was more than half complete without even realizing it.

A faint joy arose in Liu Qinghuan's heart. Because the previous mood was still there, this joy only turned into a very shallow smile.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a flash of blue light that kept beating, but it was the green lotus karma fire jumping on his lap.

Seeing him lower his head, Qinglian Yehuo, who had long been tired of staying outside, dug into his Dantian and went to play with Jingwei Jian, who was also staying in the spiritual sea.

Liu Qinghuan sat for a while and finally stood up, pacing back and forth in the unchanging darkness.

Now that my mood is almost perfect, it seems that having a baby can be put on the agenda. But before having a baby, he still had some things to prepare for.

He could take this opportunity to refine the Jiuqu Hongchen Pu, which he had been delaying in refining for a long time. In addition, he had previously found the Nine-leaf Purple Yun Ginseng, which happened to be able to refine the Jiuqiaoyang Shendan that could help conceive a baby.

However, both of these things are extremely difficult to refine. The former is a Taoist tool, while the latter is an elixir containing elixir meaning.

If ordinary elixirs are just medicine, then elixirs containing elixir meaning have a certain spirituality. Among them, the most common and well-known is the Qiqiao Daoxuan Dan, which is a Dao Dan formed by the alchemist integrating his own perception of the way of heaven during the alchemy process.

But the Jiuqiaoyang Shendan was a little different. There were two sentences recorded on the prescription of the pill he obtained, saying that when it was released, the spiritual energy soared into the sky and clouds filled the sky.

However, at the same time, the refining difficulty of this elixir is many times higher than that of ordinary elixirs. Therefore, when most monks are preparing to have a baby, they will not choose this elixir, but another similar Xianzhixuanshen. Pill, firstly, it is difficult to find the pill required for cultivation level above the Golden Pill, and secondly, it is so difficult to refine the pill that you can't find it even if you want to.

And Liu Qinghuan chose Jiuqiaoyang Shendan because it is an elixir refined by water, while Xianzhi Xuanshendan is an elixir refined by fire...

Thinking of this, Liu Qinghuan released the Songxi Cave Heaven Diagram from his dantian, but after looking around, he took out another set of formation flags.

Small flags of different colors flew out of the air and were scattered everywhere according to specific directions. Liu Qinghuan used his spiritual power to float them to prevent them from falling and scattering.

He slowly took out a few spirit-gathering stones and placed them in the controlled array. As the spells were played, thin green lines shot out from the eight corners of the array, passing through small flags. After a while, they formed a network.

He withdrew his spiritual power, and the small flag was firmly fixed in the void. Thick fog emerged from the flag, and soon covered the area.

Liu Qinghuan nodded with satisfaction. Although this array may not be able to block the mirage's temptation, it can at least buy him some time to come out of the Songxi Cave Sky Map.

Everything about the Songxi Cave Sky Map is good, except that when he enters, the map cannot be put away.

After entering the picture, Liu Qinghuan still landed in the small courtyard on the top of the mountain. The purple marrow sycamore tree that he moved back from Fengqi Forest in the Eastern Wasteland was growing in luxuriant branches and leaves. At this time, the pink and purple sycamore flowers were in bloom. , bursts of fragrance float in the wind.

Liu Qinghuan took a deep breath, feeling relaxed physically and mentally, and the rich spiritual energy rushed to his face.

Over the years, he not only opened up several medicinal fields on Daqing Mountain, planted a variety of elixirs and herbs, but also added a spiritual spring, and captured the soul to create a spiritual vein. Therefore, at this time, Songxi The picture of the cave sky is no longer as barren as it used to be. Instead, it is rich in aura, and finally has the aura of a small cave sky.

The courtyard was very quiet, with only the endless gurgling water from the Spiritual Eye Spring. Ying Niang moved to live in the soul-preserving immortal coffin on the mountainside. Xiao Hei and Chu Yi had been practicing quietly over the years, and the Pulse Soul had never If you don't want to see him, you won't come out to say hello to him.

Liu Qinghuan first went to check on the conditions of the two spirit beasts. On the first day of the month, he was practicing obediently, while Xiao Hei was still sleeping with his arms stretched out, but his aura was obviously much stronger than the previous two years. I believe it won't be long. After that, you can reach the late third level.

Liu Qinghuan did not bother them, turned around and went to the warehouse, rummaging through the rows of shelves for the spiritual materials for refining the Nine Aperture Yang Divine Pill.

He has really accumulated a lot of things over the years, and the shelves are full. Although they are all covered with small notes, it makes it easier for him to find them.

Various kinds of spiritual materials were found, some of which were ordinary and some with sealing talismans. Liu Qinghuan frowned slightly. Although he deliberately collected the ingredients for the Jiuqiaoyang Shendan, he only collected a few of each and prepared them. Among them, the rarer ones are not bad, but the bad ones are the most commonly used ones. Others are easy to say. He still has the seeds, but there is passion insect powder among them, which cannot be grown in medicine fields.

After thinking about it, he turned around and left the room, entered Xiao Hei's training room, and kicked his legs: "Xiao Hei, wake up."

After taking the poison, the monkey wished he could sleep to death and how could he wake up?

"Hey, you didn't wake up on your own, so don't blame me for messing around."

Liu Qinghuan picked up his arm, took off the ring on his finger, and broke the weak seal on it in two or five strokes. When he looked closer, he couldn't help but let out a whoosh.

"Good guy, you have hidden a lot of things. Tell me! How many things did you steal from me! Look, look, I only got one Cold Spirit Ghost Flower in total, why do you have two in your bag? , you thief!"

Liu Qinghuan slapped Xiao Hei's thick arm with his backhand, scolding him while rummaging around, and soon took out a slender, velvety white spirit grass, and said dumbfounded: "You have jade muscle flowers...are you a girl? Besides, , tell me where you got this flower, the owner doesn’t have it, how did you get it?”

"Moonstone, um, is needed for flavored elixirs. I'm short of this kind of ore, so confiscate it!"

"Huan Xin Vine, confiscated!"

"..., confiscated!"

"Confiscated!"

"Haha, I found it as expected."

Liu Qinghuan took out a long insect that looked like a lotus root joint: "The whole passion insect is enough for now."

Poor Xiao Hei was so injured in his sleep that he couldn't help but cry when he looked back.

After the robbery, Liu Qinghuan stood up refreshed and searched the house without stopping, and found a jar of monkey wine that had been buried for an unknown number of years. As soon as he opened it, there was an extremely refreshing aroma. Overflowing the whole house.

But when he saw the monkey that couldn't wake him up suddenly sniffed, Liu Qinghuan, who felt guilty as a thief, quickly sealed it with mud, waved his sleeves to sweep away the smell of wine, and quickly left the place where the crime was committed.

Taking a sip of wine, he was very happy. He strolled all the way to the medicine field at the foot of the mountain, where he met Ying Niang who was taking care of the medicine field, and Mai Hun who was following her.

Liu Qinghuan hurriedly put away the wine jar and said hello without embarrassment.

Ying Niang glanced at him with a half-smile, turned around and walked away leisurely: "Now that you are back, you can take care of the medicine field by yourself. I won't do it anymore, and I will go find a jar of wine to drink."

Liu Qinghuan touched her nose, straightened her expression, and arrived at the medicinal field where Nine-leaf Ziyun Ginseng was planted.

This ginseng has only grown seven beads now, and it will take countless years to grow nine beads. However, if Liu Qinghuan watered it every day with the Qi of the green wood, it shouldn't take long.

Liu Qinghuan counted the time and planted some other needed elixir seeds.

From then on, he lived in the Songxi Cave Heaven Map, only occasionally going outside to see if there was anything strange about the magic circle he had set up.

Time passed quietly in this calm day, and when the Nine-leaf Purple Yun Ginseng grew, the refining of the Nine-Aperture Yang Divine Pill could finally begin.
