Chapter 42 Yuan Zhen Guan
After leaving Baimachuan, the two quickly returned to the capital, agreed to meet again at a certain time, and each found a secret place to meditate and absorb the Jade Peaches.
Cao Jinxing chose his own courtyard. There was a cellar in the courtyard, which was originally a place to store grain and wine. It had been vacant for a long time because he was very poor. Now it was perfect for retreat.
As soon as he entered the door, he jumped in with Xuanyuan Shisi and sealed the iron door - no matter how much he messed around down there, there wouldn't be much change in the outside world.
Regulus couldn't help it.
The kitten was greedy. As soon as Cao Jinxing sealed the door, it turned back to its original form and swallowed the jade peach in one gulp, swallowing it whole.
Almost instantly.
Xuanyuan Fourteen's whole body was burning with fiery flames, and the "Tumo Meditation" internal energy in his body started to operate spontaneously, desperately absorbing the energy of the Jade Peach and transforming it into true Qi!
Its body is getting bigger!
Its internal strength is increasing!
Rub, rub, rub!
In a blink of an eye, Xuanyuan 14's body size soared from 60 centimeters to 90 centimeters! From the size of a house cat, it grew to the size of a lynx!
From a distance, it really looks like an immature white lion, with a sturdy body, long limbs, and great lethality!
The heat spreads.
Flames rising!
It was originally able to fight wolves and tigers. At this moment, its strength, speed and internal energy have been greatly improved, and it can now fight with martial arts masters.
Cao Jinxing was very pleased. In the previous battles, he had not allowed it to take action because he was afraid that it would get hurt. He would have to be distracted to protect it.
But now, Fourteen is not so fragile anymore. He has the protection of the Tumo Samadhi internal energy and his lightning-fast speed. Even an ordinary innate person can hardly pose a threat to him.
"very good."
Xuanyuan Shisi's strength increased greatly, allowing Cao Jinxing to see the powerful effect of the "Jade Peach". He then sat cross-legged on the ground, took out the peach and ate it.
A heat suddenly arises in the body!
It seemed as if there was a ball of fire burning fiercely, like boiling water, gushing out from the abdomen, spreading to the limbs and bones, burning the skin to the point of cracking!
“What a strong energy!”
Even though Cao Jinxing had anticipated this, he could not help but feel startled. He immediately practiced the "Cold Toad Skill" to mobilize the true Qi throughout his body, carrying the flames around in his body, flowing through the eight extraordinary meridians and converging at his Dantian.
The main effect of Jade Peach is actually to cleanse the meridians and marrow and improve physical fitness.
It can make a weak and sick body full of vitality, and can make the naturally blocked meridians suddenly open up! It is a treasure that people who have gone astray and their meridians are blocked dream of.
But for Cao Jinxing, this effect is useless - he is too talented, his body is too healthy, all eight meridians are open, and he is nourished by the "Han Chan Gong". There are almost no impurities in his body, and nothing can be changed.
So, he just thought of it as taking a tonic pill, locking up all the energy and turning it into true qi!
Internal strength rises rapidly!
The first level of innateness!
The second level of innateness!
The third level of innateness!
…
After being promoted to the innate realm, the true energy required for each level of breakthrough is unimaginable to the acquired realm.
With Cao Jinxing's extraordinary talent and his continuous practice of internal energy day and night, it would take him about half a month to break through to the second level normally.
The higher the realm, the harder it is to break through and the longer it takes.
But at this moment, he broke through the realm smoothly!
It was not until the fourth level of innateness that all the energy was completely absorbed and transformed, and the true energy in the body increased fourfold!
At the moment of success, a terrifying cold air was released, frost covered the ground, and the cellar turned into an ice cave!
…
at the same time.
The Yuanzhen Temple in Jizhou Town, where Baimachuan is located, welcomed an uninvited guest.
The young Taoist priest heard a knock on the door, and when he came out, he saw a woman in red lying in front of the door, covered in blood and dying.
The young Taoist priest was startled and turned around and shouted: "Master, there is a female donor lying outside the door, covered in blood!"
The next second, an old Taoist priest in black robe, with a sage-like appearance, white hair and a youthful face, appeared behind him. He looked energetic.
——The abbot of Yuanzhen Temple, Zhang Yunqing.
As soon as he saw a wounded person, he bent over and took his pulse.
The young Taoist priest looked at his master's hands with envy , thinking: "The master's skills are getting better and better. He is already in his sixties or seventies, but his hands don't have any wrinkles at all. They are even whiter than mine..."
The master ignored him, his fingers resting on the woman's wrist, his brows furrowing ever tighter.
Then, he took out a fiery red porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill from it, and fed it to the woman.
As soon as the pill was exposed to the air, the young Taoist was surprised to smell a refreshing medicinal fragrance.
I wondered if Master had this kind of magic medicine? Why did he ask me to go to the pharmacy to buy dog-skin plasters when I had rheumatism last time?
Zhang Yunqing's face was serious, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, and he said, "Send her to my room."
"S-Send you to your room?"
The young Taoist priest was dumbfounded. Shouldn't he be given a guest room?
Isn't this bad...
Even the injured were women. Besides, there were other fellow disciples in the temple, and there would be pilgrims tomorrow. If they knew about this...
"What are you still standing there for!"
Zhang Yunqing glared at the young Taoist priest, who dared not say anything more. He carefully carried the woman to his master's room and put her on the only bed.
"get out."
"yes."
The young Taoist priest secretly complained in his heart, secretly cursing his master for being disrespectful to his elders and bullying the injured, but he dared not disobey.
After he walked away, Zhang Yunqing came to the bedside, stretched out his hand to touch Su Miaoyun's heart meridian, and then slapped Su Miaoyun's abdomen with one palm. His true energy was red, like a flame, which helped her to dissolve the life-extending elixir and reconnect her heart meridian.
Su Miaoyun woke up slowly, her face pale. When she saw Zhang Yunqing, she stood up and saluted: "Saint Maiden..."
"Senior sister is seriously injured, no need to be polite."
"Zhang Yunqing" had a gentle voice, his eyebrows and facial features blurred, and his facial muscles were slightly adjusted. He unexpectedly transformed into a stunning beauty, who was none other than the Saint Maiden of Mingzong, Jiang Luxia!
"what happened?"
Jiang Luxia asked, "Aren't you going to get the Jade Peaches? How did you get injured like this? What tricks did that Xingxiuhai guy have hidden?"
"no……"
Su Miaoyun had a grief-stricken look on her face, and she immediately told him about the stalker. Six people went out and unexpectedly killed all of them... If she hadn't mastered the "Holy Fire Canon" so well and used a secret method to hold on to her last breath, she would have died in the Peach Blossom Spring.
“He knows the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, is very young, and has such strength. He should be the Young Leader of the Beggars’ Sect, Lu Kunlun. As for the other one…”
Jiang Luxia gritted her teeth and said, "I remember the move of the Tyrant Sword that killed Jing Tao very clearly! He was just using the sword as a knife to deceive others!"
Su Miaoyun was stunned: "The Saint knows who he is?"
"The Captain of the Pacification Division, Cao Jinxing... No, he's now the Deputy Captain. He was the one who attacked me with the Mysterious Sky Sword Finger last time!"
She was so angry that her lungs were about to explode: "This bastard official is haunting me. Why is he always against me?"
Jiang Luxia gritted his teeth and growled, his face grim.
It was the first time that Su Miaoyun saw her junior sister like this. No matter what happened in the past, she always smiled sweetly and handled it with ease. She had never been as hysterical as she was today.
Jiang Luxia was furious.
Although it was Feng Bao who saw through her last time, it was Cao Jinxing who attacked her unexpectedly!
If she had not been caught off guard by him using his extremely cold and invisible sword energy, she would have been able to escape even if she was recognized and there was no way she could have been captured!
There would be no subsequent rescue and casualties.
When she thought of the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty who died because of her, Jiang Luxia's hatred for Cao Jinxing intensified.
"I'll chop him into pieces sooner or later!"
Jiang Luxia cursed, took a deep breath, regained her composure and said, "Hong Xiuzhao has been exposed. Tell Mother Feng and the others to withdraw immediately! As for the Jinyiwei..."
Her eyes were cold. "Just now, someone sent me a knife... As long as we seize this opportunity, we can rescue Uncle Xiang. By the way, we can settle all the old and new grudges together... Kill that bastard! I want him to die a miserable death!!!"
