Chapter 171: Earth-Accumulating Spiritual Turtle, Hehuan Dew, and Nine-Force Mountain-Moving Technique
The world is bustling, and everyone is here for profit; the world is bustling, and everyone is leaving for profit.

Xiao Chen has always been very clear that most of the time, no one would give him benefits for no reason, especially when the two parties were not familiar with each other.

Where there is benefit, there must be something to ask for.

Well, the old man of the Su family is an exception.

Xiao Chen still doesn't know what Mr. Su's purpose is.

He had clearly demonstrated his strength at the Fake Dan realm and had received numerous invitations, but the Su family simply didn't take the initiative to approach him.

Strictly speaking, since taking those things away that day, the Su family has never contacted me again.

But let’s leave this exception aside for now.

Since the Qiu family brought this expensive "Yin Yang Can Tong Qi" to the door, the conditions they are going to discuss next must be very complicated.

Sure enough, after Qiu Qichen exchanged some pleasantries with Xiao Chen.

Finally, the Qiu family’s goal was revealed - the earth-storing spirit turtle.

This is a group of monsters living in the Wan Yao Mountains, known for their excellent defensive methods.

There are two pairs of male and female, and each adult individual has the combat power of the great perfection of foundation building.

And one of the most notable characteristics of turtles is that they have a lifespan of up to a thousand years.

Qiu Qichen said with a smile, "My family has contacted two top-notch experts who can cooperate with us to restrain the two male turtles."

"But we're still lacking someone who can take out the eggs under the protection of the female turtle."

"If Fellow Daoist Xiao is willing to help, this secret method will be considered as the reward for your action."

Ok?
Xiao Chen felt a little strange. This didn't sound right.

He could understand the Qiu family's considerations for doing this.

That is to use the method of animal training to cultivate the earth-storing spirit turtle hatched from turtle eggs into a spirit beast that protects the tribe.

With the cultivation of a large number of spiritual creatures, it only takes a few decades to ensure that the family will have a combat force with the great perfection of the foundation building within the next thousand years.

From the perspective of family continuation, even if the cost is a little higher, it is worth it.

But what Xiao Chen couldn't understand was that since he already knew the location of the spirit turtle.

Why did the Qiu family insist on asking him for help instead of taking others to grab the spiritual egg?

There are other cultivators who have reached the great perfection of foundation building in Hezhou.

So he asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, is there anything particularly difficult about this operation?"

Qiu Qichen thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I won't beat around the bush today."

"The burrows of these two pairs of earth-storing spirit turtles are extremely deep, and they pass through the territories of three golden elixir monster beasts along the way."

"Although the clan has tried their best to find spiritual objects that can suppress the breath, they have only collected six sticks of spirit-repelling incense so far."

In the biography in the Sutra Library, Xiao Chen had seen records of the god-avoiding incense.

After being ignited, the smoke surrounds the body, which can block the spiritual sense of the golden elixir monster.

"Originally, the clan had already pre-ordered a batch of incense to ward off evil spirits."

Qiu Qichen paused for a moment before continuing, "However, due to the Divine Fire Sect, this batch of incense could not be delivered."

"It only takes three years for a turtle egg to hatch, and time is running out."

"If we can't retrieve the turtle before it hatches and recognize its owner, it will be difficult to ensure it won't defect in the future."

After he said that, Xiao Chen understood.

Since there are only six incense sticks to ward off evil spirits, they can only ensure the safe return of three people.

But the problem is that they are facing four earth-accumulating turtles that have reached the great perfection of foundation building and are famous for their defense.

Not to mention three people, even if four cultivators who have reached the great perfection of foundation building were gathered together, it might not be possible to accomplish the task.

Besides, the others are not like Xiao Chen who has formed fake pills.

If you really have to fight one against two, you would be a master if you could just protect yourself, let alone get the turtle eggs.

In addition, this operation is over a long distance. If any unexpected situation occurs during the journey, they may be killed in the Wan Yao Mountains.

Even with the Qiu family's connections, they could not gather three Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators who were willing to take the risk.

Therefore, this matter has been shelved and has been delayed for a full year.

It seems that if we can't find a suitable candidate, it will be too late.

At this time, Xiao Chen came to Hezhou.

Moreover, he soon demonstrated amazing strength, which was quite in line with the needs of the Qiu family.

"With Fellow Daoist Xiao's strength, just two female turtles will definitely not be a problem."

Qiu Qichen finished his words and did not forget to flatter: "As long as fellow Taoists are willing to help, then it will be easy to capture."

To be fair, this is not a difficult task for Xiao Chen.

However, he did not agree directly: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I can do this, but I have three small requests."

Qiu Qichen quickly asked, "I wonder what Daoist Fellow Xiao wants?"

"First, I am only responsible for bringing back the turtle eggs, not the safety of the other two."

The Ten Thousand Demons Mountains were extremely dangerous and unpredictable. If Xiao Chen encountered a passing Jindan monster, he could protect himself with the Night's Sharp Blade.

Qiu Qichen agreed decisively: "Of course, the other two fellow Taoists are also aware of the risks of this operation."

"Secondly, I'm very interested in the covered beads and tiger bones, and I want to meet the seller in advance."

If possible, Xiao Chen wanted to snatch these two items in advance.

Doing so will undoubtedly lead to a decline in the quality of the auction items.

However, Qiu Qichen hesitated for only a moment before nodding and agreeing: "No problem, I can help you act as a middleman."

"Third, this secret method must be left to me now."

Xiao Chen had already seen the Lingyun diagram and really wanted this secret technique.

It would definitely be best to keep the secret technique in one's own hands. Leaving it in the Qiu family would be a new trouble if any changes occur.

"No problem, I absolutely trust Fellow Daoist Xiao."

Qiu Qichen answered very readily this time, as he had already prepared for this.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, if that's the case, let's discuss the matter of the spirit turtle eggs."

"The hatching deadline is almost here, so it would be best if we could leave before the end of March."

Xiao Chen nodded: "I don't have anything important to do at the moment. As long as Fellow Daoist Qiu is ready, we can set off at any time."

Then the two of them set off separately.

Qiu Qichen hurried back to the clan and began to contact the foreign aid that had been agreed upon previously.

Xiao Chen took the message to the Yao family and met the elder who had the tiger bones.

The other party was quite easy to talk to and didn't try to make things difficult for him.

The deal was completed by paying only the Mirror-like Golden Shield and 11,500 spirit stones.

Compared to competing with others at an auction, this price is actually fair.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen ran non-stop for three hundred miles to visit the local Yang family.

And unexpectedly met Yang Huaian.

With his introduction, the head of the Yang family readily agreed to the private transaction and said that there was no need to add additional spirit stones.

For this purpose, Xiao Chen went to Xianghe Market specifically to retrieve a high-quality magic shield from the Son of God.

The two items have similar values ​​when converted, so no one suffers a loss.

At Yang Huaian's repeated invitation, he stayed for dinner.

The return journey did not begin until the hour of Xu.

While flying on the sword, Xiao Chen was also thinking about his own cultivation.

"The Qiu family should need a few more days to prepare. There shouldn't be anything else to do now."

"After returning this time, no matter what, I must practice seriously and strive for a breakthrough as soon as possible."
.
Two days ago, Tianxing Ridge.

This place is located at the junction of Hezhou and Quanzhou. There is a second-level spiritual vein here, and it is also the current stronghold of the Divine Fire Sect.

After Master Nie Jing came back, he first secluded himself for two days to sort out his experience in fighting and study the methods of making the righteous golden elixir.

As soon as the results came out, I received information that Xiao Chen had appeared at Yuanci Peak.

"What? How could this happen?"

Upon hearing this, Master Nie Jing's expression immediately darkened. He pondered for a moment before ordering, "Have Ghost Dragon and Poisonous Demon emerged from confinement?"

The subordinate immediately replied: "They have all been cleared this morning."

"Go call them over, and also invite Daoist Fellow Yaoshang over."

Soon, True Man Guijiao, True Man Dusha and True Man Yaoshang came one after another.

Master Nie Jing circulated the information, which immediately triggered a burst of angry curses.

"Fuck Qianhong, what a waste."

"We wasted a second-level spiritual vein, but Xiao Chen is fine."

Ghost Jiao Zhenren cursed and suggested, "If you ask me, we should just get rid of him. He can't even do this little thing. What's the point of keeping such a useless person around?"

Master Nie Jing shook his head: "Let's not talk about this."

"Today we are only talking about Xiao Chen. What should we do now?"

Ghost Dragon Immortal curled his lips as he looked at the information: "This kid is just lucky. He just happens not to be in Qingyang Mountain."

"He can hide in Yuanci Peak now, but he will have to go out eventually."

"Send someone to keep an eye on him. I'll be in charge of the formation this time. It will be foolproof."

Master Nie Jing shook his head again: "No, we only have two spiritual veins left."

"And the remaining bloodstones must be kept to open the Yellow Spring Palace and find another way."

Upon hearing this, Yaoshang frowned, "Now, there are at least two Jindan masters stationed at Luoyan Mountain and Xunmei Mountain."

"If we rashly sneak into the Lingyuan Sect, it might not be safe."

It’s not that they are unable to accept risks.

He just wasn't willing to take risks just for a "small matter" like getting rid of Xiao Chen.

Even if there is a one percent chance of being stuck inside, it is unacceptable for several real people.

The safety of a Jindan cultivator is much more important than that of a foundation-building cultivator.

Ghost Dragon Immortal said bluntly: "Then let it go. After all, Xiao Chen is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How can he really turn the world upside down?"

"Once we take over Yuanci Peak, I can kill him with just one slap."

But Master Nie Jing thought otherwise: "A thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole. Only by preventing small problems before they arise can we be safe."

"The more difficult it is to handle, the more we cannot leave it alone."

"Dusha, do you have any useful poison?"

"I can send a few more people to sneak in with the poison."

Upon hearing this, Master Dusha frowned slightly: "Back then, I did have some methods that could work on Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"But I haven't really tried it to see if it works on fake pills."

"Also, even if someone else takes my poison, they won't be able to produce the same effect as mine without the coordination of poison skills."

Master Nie Jing was a little annoyed.

If he really wanted to be ruthless, he would have several ways to kill Xiao Chen. But reason told him that it was not worth wasting his precious trump card for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But he really didn't care, yet he was still a little worried. Seeing this, Master Yaoshang suggested, "Why don't you let my apprentice give it a try?"

She has accepted a disciple in these years, who can be considered as a half-successor.

"Your apprentice?"

Master Nie Jing waved his hand: "Even if she has a magic weapon, she is no match for the fake pill cultivator."

Some demon soldiers can achieve victory by surprise, but this is only possible when both sides are of similar strength.

All four travelers were defeated. It was obvious that Xiao Chen's strength was no longer on the same level as ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

"I don't think so."

Yaoshang Zhenren smiled faintly: "Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beauty. My disciple is 90% similar to Yaohua. Which cultivator would not be moved by her?"

"Xiao Chen is just a young man in his twenties, and he doesn't even have a Taoist partner."

"If there's a hero saving a beautiful girl scenario, I don't believe he won't be fooled."

Ghost Jiao Zhenren laughed first: "Yes, Zi Yan has been attractive since she was a child, and now she has a perfect figure with curvaceous curves."

"If she wasn't Daoist Fellow Yaoshang's disciple, I would have captured her and used her as a cauldron."

Yaoshang Zhenren turned to look at him and licked the corner of his mouth: "What's the point of her being a little girl?"

"If you want, Daoist Ghost Dragon, why don't you come to my room tonight?"

She had recently mastered a new technique of reverse sexual intercourse and was looking for someone to try it out on.

Those cultivators in the foundation-building stage are too weak to withstand the torture.

Master Guijiao smiled awkwardly and did not respond.

He actually tried it once before, and ended up secluded himself for more than a month to adjust.

Even though he possessed the power of a dragon, he could not withstand the other party's seemingly endless demands.

Fortunately, this matter did not spread, and the few disciples who knew about it were silenced by Master Guijiao.

Except for Yao Chang, the other Jindans present did not know either.

Therefore, Master Nie Jing interrupted and said, "The two of you should discuss your matters in private."

Then he asked seriously, "How sure are you of this method?"

Yaoshang Zhenren held up three fingers and said, "If I rely solely on my disciples, I only have a 30% chance of success."

"From the information, Xiao Chen is not that kind of playboy. Instead, he is a hardworking monk who is devoted to cultivation. People like him are always the hardest to be lured."

"But if I could get a bottle of Hehuan Lu, I'd have a 90% chance of success."

"And if such a person breaks the precepts, we might be able to use him in the future."

The Albizia Julibrissin Dew is more powerful than the Albizia Julibrissin Fragrance. It is a colorless and odorless secret spiritual liquid.

Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you apply it on your body in advance, you can emit a charming "body fragrance" and easily attract the monks around you.

And this spiritual liquid also has a slight enchanting effect.

It can unknowingly arouse the lust in the heart of the monk and make people mistakenly believe that this is their true thoughts.

But the Love Dew can barely be considered a third-level spiritual liquid.

Although it ranks at the bottom among the third-level spiritual liquids, due to its origin from the Eastern Region and its special effects, it is not cheap and is also scarce.

After all, few cultivators would make such spiritual liquid, let alone sell it.

True Person Yaoshang herself did not have one, but she knew that True Person Niejing had once obtained a bottle.

According to her speculation, it is likely that it has not been used yet.

As expected, when he heard the words "use it for my own use", Master Nie Jing was a little moved.

If such a nail could be inserted into the Lingyuan Sect, then when the Huangquan Palace opens, the Shenhuo Sect will no longer have any hidden dangers.

There is his carefully trained apprentice in the open, and Xiao Chen in the dark.

No matter how much manpower Lingyuan Sect invests, it will be like throwing meat buns at a dog—there will be no return!
Take over the Yellow Springs Palace, harvest the evil energy within, and refine it with secret techniques to create the Yellow Springs Guisha Cone, which is specifically designed to break various large formations.

In the face of the power of the Yellow Springs Returning Cone, even a third-order formation is useless.

By then, without the support of the defensive formation, the destruction of Lingyuan Sect is only a matter of time.

And with the new third-level essence and blood replenishment, the remaining Wanhua Valley and Qingxiao Sect are just like a candle in the wind.

I dare not say that it can be destroyed in a snap of a finger, it can only survive for a little longer.

"Okay! I agree with this plan."

Thinking of this, Master Nie Jing immediately made the decision and readily took out a double bottle with a colorful phoenix through flowers and handed it to Master Yao Shang: "The bottle contains the love dew you asked for."

"I can give you the stuff, but I want to see the results."

"We must capture Xiao Chen before the end of March at the latest."

Yaoshang Zhenren smiled brightly: "Don't worry, Daoist Niejing, I'll take care of this matter."

"Tomorrow. No, I'll let Zi Yan go tonight."

She happily took the Hehuan Dew and returned to her own compound.

He took out a white-glazed double bottle from the storage bag and poured half of the Albizia Julibrissin dew into it.

Then he thought about it and poured another 30% into it.

It's just to deal with a foundation-building cultivator, why would he use a whole bottle of spiritual liquid?

Even if Xiao Chen formed a fake pill, its essence was no different from that of a foundation-building cultivator. He just had a little more magic power. Leaving 20% ​​should be enough.

After all, this time we are going to use the beauty trap, not to fight magic.

After completing the preparations, she put away the white-glazed double bottle and sent someone to call Han Ziyan over.

Originally, Master Yaoshang had no intention of accepting a disciple, but when she was among tens of thousands of refugees, she saw that familiar face at a glance.

Even though Han Ziyan was thin and dark at that time because of hunger and cold.

But she was still picked out by Yaoshang Zhenren, who deliberately only taught Han Ziyan the art of seduction.

Just to ensure the maximum value of use and to make the two more similar, I have been holding back and not taking action.

After returning from this mission, Master Yaoshang plans to taste this disciple himself.

"Master, you called me?"

"Zi Yan, come here. You must remember everything that Master says to you next."

Master Yaoshang patiently gave instructions for half an hour.

"Do you remember everything I said?"

"Master, I remember this. I'm going to find Xiao Chen right now and use the skills you taught me to steal his soul away."

……

Elementary magnetic peak.

Xiao Chen had just returned not long ago when he suddenly remembered that he was actually still missing a physical training technique.

In fact, although he has reached the middle stage of foundation building, it is not something he cultivated himself.

Instead, he took a shortcut by borrowing a piece of jade bone.

So now when it was his turn to practice, he found that he had no method to deal with tiger bones.

"How about eating it directly?"

Xiao Chen held the nine-foot-long bone, and the touch of it, which was like a top-grade magic weapon, made him feel that this was not a good idea.

This thing is still very strong after all these years, it might hurt your teeth.

Moreover, if you digest it directly like this, the effect will probably not be very good.

"Forget it, I'd better go find a method to move Qi and blood."

Since I have decided to learn a body-refining technique, I can't just mess around.

However, let alone Lizhou, even in Hezhou, cultivators who follow the path of body refining are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

It is not easy to obtain a suitable inheritance.

In the past, Xiao Chen would definitely go find it himself, but it’s different now.

He went straight to find Manager Chen.

Zhu Hui was found through the relationship of Manager Chen.

Finally, with the help of Zhu Hui's relationship, he successfully contacted Tie Xinweng, one of the ten outstanding people in Lizhou, who was famous for his body refining skills.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, even if the methods I hold are of the Yellow level, they are all secret methods passed down from generation to generation."

"Even among our own family, we have always only passed on the direct lineage, and will never pass on anything to outsiders."

"But since you've spoken today, and since I have the favor of Fellow Daoist Zhu and Fellow Daoist Chen, I'll make this deal with you."

"But you must promise me that you will never reveal this technique to outsiders."

"Except for your own children, not even your future apprentice."

Tie Xinweng said the last two sentences very seriously, and it was obvious that he cared about them very much.

In other words, Xiao Chen had stated from the beginning that what he wanted was only the yellow-level method, not the most core earth-level inheritance.

Otherwise, Tie Xin would rather die than agree.

After that, the two of them discussed and successfully exchanged three taels of Xu Tu Ling Sha and five thousand spirit stones for a "Nine-Force Mountain Moving Technique".

It is said that if one practices this skill to the highest level, one can lift a mountain with bare hands.

It also includes a special Qi and blood diagram.

For the next three days, Xiao Chen stayed in the guest room.

I follow Tie Xinweng every day to learn how to move qi and blood.

At the same time, some things that are not written in the exercises are recorded through word of mouth.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had accepted this kind of practice.

Xiao Chen also asked Tie Xinweng: "Why not just write these contents into the exercises?"

"If it's passed down orally like this, aren't you afraid that something might go wrong and get lost?"

You should know that in the Lihuo Sect's exercises, various methods of cultivation are clearly marked.

There are even some popular techniques that have accompanying insights summarized by predecessors of the sect from past generations, for fear that the younger disciples will not be able to learn them.

Tie Xinweng's answer was simply, "I deliberately hid a portion of my skills because I didn't want my enemies to find them and practice them directly."

what?
But after Xiao Chen thought about it, he felt that this statement did make some sense.

If I didn’t have what I learned in the past three days, I probably wouldn’t even be able to understand it, let alone practice.

Even if you force yourself to practice, if you lack the correct method of moving blood and qi, you will easily hurt yourself.

Three days later, under the one-on-one instruction of Tie Xinweng, Xiao Chen successfully mastered the "Nine-Force Mountain Moving Technique".

At the same time, he also learned a taboo in cultivation.

When a cultivator just breaks through a realm, the breath or blood in his body is in an active and agitated state and is not stable.

This is common sense. Pills such as Guyuan Pills are used to help cultivators quickly and stabilize their cultivation.

The taboo in this practice is that one cannot simultaneously break through the Qi Refining and Body Refining levels within a short period of time.

Otherwise, it will leave hidden dangers and affect the success rate of forming the elixir in the future.

This was a problem that was discovered by one of Tie Xinweng's ancestors after he practiced both Dharma and physical cultivation.

Considering that although Xiao Chen may not be able to use it, his children may also choose to practice both Dharma and physical cultivation in the future.

Tie Xinweng still mentioned this specifically to prevent future generations from falling into the same trap.
