Chapter 23
Chapter 23
The disciples downstairs were still talking to each other, Ji Xi looked around: "Master, let's talk in the room."
Immortal cultivators have sharp eyes and ears, so if someone hears about it, they might think more about it. It is better to go to a place where no one is around.
Lin Ciqing didn't take his mysterious look seriously at first, and followed him up the stairs into the room.
Ji Xi closed the door with a rare serious expression: "Master, when I was in the tunnel yesterday, I saw a demon cultivator."
Lin Ciqing frowned: "Where is it?"
"In the place where the array eye is placed, in the illusion."
When he mentioned the illusion, Lin Ciqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered: "Is it the demon cultivator in the room who died for a long time?"
The demon cultivator appeared really strangely. When they went there, they didn't see anyone at all. After breaking the illusion, he appeared out of thin air, still a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
At that time, some disciples checked it carefully and found that there were no other abnormalities, so they had no choice but to give up.
"Yes, it's him."
Ji Xi concealed part of the content, and only said that he saw this demon cultivator after he entered the illusion. At first he thought that the other party was an illusion created by the magic formation, but when he exited the illusion, the other party turned into a corpse.
He described Mo Xiu's stiff posture, strange voice, and some inexplicable words when he spoke. As for the son of luck that Xiao Zhao was talking about at that time, Ji Xi didn't tell Lin Ciqing.
The son of luck is obviously Duan You, what does it have to do with him?
Perhaps because of some small deviations, Xiao Zhao, who did not appear in Qinghe Town in the original book, suddenly appeared, but fortunately, he did not come by himself.
What makes Ji Xi feel terrible is that Xiao Zhao has come to him directly now, and is so sure, obviously already has the scope to confirm the son of destiny.
After Ji Xi thought about it, what he and Duan You had in common was that they were both Lin Ciqing's apprentices and appeared in the same place. It was very likely that Xiao Zhao confused him with Duan You because of this.
Then he and Duan You are both very dangerous now, Xiao Zhao failed to succeed the first time, and will definitely be more fully prepared next time.
Lin Ciqing didn't know these things. Based on Ji Xi's description, he quickly came to a conclusion: "This person is a puppet, and someone else possessed him at that time."
When Ji Xi encountered such a thing right under his nose, even though he was not injured, Lin Ciqing still blamed himself: "Did he ever threaten you?"
"Never." Should I say it's not too late?Ji Xi thought for a while, and said, "Why did he arrest me, let's not mention it. I think these demon cultivators may not only have set up formations in one place in Qinghe Town."
Other areas are not under the jurisdiction of the Wuya faction, but the Wuya faction can warn the surrounding sects about this matter to minimize casualties.
Lin Ciqing also thought so. He actually sent a letter to the sect as soon as he came back yesterday, reporting the situation and guesses one by one.
The message Ji Xi said further confirmed that there was someone planning behind all of this.
Lin Ciqing didn't say much, pulled Ji Xi over, and said softly, "Are you afraid at that time?"
Ji Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "A little bit."
"This will never happen again in the future," Lin Ciqing said in a softer tone, "You were angry with me last night, so be careful when you go out, and don't leave me half a step before you leave tomorrow."
Ji Xi snorted softly: "It was Master's fault last night."
"It's your duplicity. You obviously hurt me, but you don't rub my stomach."
"I didn't rub it for you in the end."
Ji Xi moved the stool closer and leaned on Lin Ciqing's shoulder: "Well, everything Master said is correct."
As long as he doesn't reject him anymore, as for whether to avoid suspicion or not, Ji Xi will pretend that he has never heard of it, and let's talk about it later.
Lin Ciqing asked again: "When I came back, what were you and Duan You... doing?"
Speaking of this, Ji Xi took out the jade card that Duan You gave him, and showed it to Lin Ciqing: "Brother is talking about the formation, and he gave me this specially."
It's a jade card that reproduces all formations. Lin Ciqing heard Ji Xi say just now, "Do you want to learn formations?"
"I... can give it a try, Master teach me?"
"Ah."
Learning the formation method is very cumbersome. Ji Xi took a few theoretical classes when he was at Chengle Peak, and he was dizzy after listening to it. However, if Lin Ciqing personally taught him, he could learn it no matter how difficult it was.
Lin Ciqing also wanted to ask, why did he see the two hugging each other when he came back, was it Duan You who took the initiative or Ji Xi who took the initiative?I also felt that it was very strange for me to ask such a question.
The relationship between the two apprentices is good, he should be happy.
As for my thoughts about Ji Xi... Let's talk about it when Ji Xi grows up, now just let nature take its course.
On the second day, everyone set off on time, and among the first batch of disciples was a smaller flying boat, which seemed to be in the right place, and Ji Xi was still in the room with Lin Ciqing.
After the flying boat set off for half a day, something suddenly happened to Duan You.
He is about to break through the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
The lightning tribulation that breaks through the small level is less powerful, but it is still very dangerous to stay with many monks in this midair. Everyone had to stop halfway and wait for Duan You to break through successfully before leaving.
Duan You was a little ashamed, so he proposed to let a flying boat go back first, and the few people stay and wait for him.
Ji Xi was originally on the big flying boat, but upon hearing that he insisted on changing places, he accompanied Duan You to break through before leaving.
He wanted to try, whether other than Lin Ciqing and his own Thunder Tribulation could be swallowed and absorbed, now is the best opportunity.
Ji Xi quietly told Lin Ciqing, but Lin Ciqing sternly refused: "No."
The risk of this kind of thing is still too great. He was negligent in the first two times, so how could he let Ji Xi deliberately try this way.
Moreover, since Ji Xi was discovered the lightning vein, even if he didn't absorb the thunder tribulation, his cultivation speed was much faster than before. Although there is no way to test the level of the lightning vein for the time being, at least it is above the middle grade.
Ji Xi said: "Master, I'll be fine. I can replace... I can refine your Thunder Tribulation, and I can definitely refine senior brother's."
"Cultivation needs to be down-to-earth, not impatient, and there are no shortcuts."
Ji Xi disagreed: "But this is my talent. If I can't use it, why does it exist? And I also need to refine it myself, and I didn't take a shortcut."
He begged for a long time, and finally agreed to Lin Ciqing to try this first, and if he wanted to do such a thing in the future, he had to get his consent.
Ji Xi is Duan You's younger brother, so it's normal for him to want to stay with Duan You, the rest of the people have no objections, so the two of them switched to the small flying boat.
Duan You was very moved: "Master, junior brother, you can go back first, and leave me alone."
Ji Xi went to the new room with his things in his arms, without turning his head: "You still call me little junior brother, it's so strange."
According to Duan You's own intuition, the Thunder Tribulation should not be long, and it would take half a day at most. The small flying boat stopped at the edge of a mountain forest, and Duan You went up the mountain alone to cross the Tribulation, while the rest waited at the foot of the mountain.
Ji Xi called Duan You aside alone, and told him that he wanted to try to refine his Thunder Tribulation. Duan You was shocked: "You, you can refine Thunder..."
He covered his mouth as he spoke, with a look of disbelief.
When he was in the sect, Duan You was busy rushing to the Bailian Pagoda. He only knew that Ji Xi had a new spiritual vein, but he didn't know that he could refine the Thunder Tribulation.
After the shock, Duan You began to worry again: "I have grown up so much, this kind of thing is unheard of, will it really not hurt?"
After all, it was a thunder tribulation, and those whose cultivation was not stable could be hacked half to death.
Therefore, he also disagreed with Ji Xi doing this.
Ji Xi had no choice but to repeat what he said to Lin Ciqing, "Master has already agreed, and I will be fine."
Duan You had never seen it with his own eyes, and was more worried than Lin Ciqing: "What? Master actually agreed? I have to talk to him."
He said that he really wanted to find Lin Ciqing, but Ji Xi dragged him desperately, and some disciples looked over from a distance, and those who didn't know thought they had quarreled.
Ji Xi took out a bell-shaped magic weapon and showed it to Duan You, and said, "Master gave it to me. If something really goes wrong, this magic weapon will also be able to resist more than half of the lightning calamity for me."
This was also one of the reasons why Lin Ciqing agreed. If he didn't have a magic weapon with him, it would be useless for Ji Xi to beg him no matter how much he wanted.
Anyway, Duan You finally agreed, and sighed: "I really can't do anything about you."
In fact, there was a little excitement in his heart. If it was true as Ji Xi said, not only would he never suffer from the thunder calamity, but it would be easy to break through the tribulation, and he could also help other monks...
It's just too bad.
After the communication, the three masters and apprentices went up the mountain together, and the other disciples thought they were still worried and wanted to get closer.
Duan You and Ji Xi went to the top of the highest mountain, and Lin Ciqing waited halfway up the mountain.
When Ji Xi was about to leave, Lin Ciqing warned: "Be careful, use the magic weapon immediately if you find something wrong, and I will come up when the time comes."
"Understood Master," Ji Xi felt that he was too nervous, and said with a smile, "Master will come to pick me up after the thunder calamity. I may not be able to walk."
When he broke through, the thunder calamity was too small, and he didn't feel much when it was absorbed into his body. Now it is the thunder calamity in the Nascent Soul stage, maybe it will hurt like last time.
Lin Ciqing wasn't worried, he pinched Ji Xi's chin lightly: "Okay, I'll pick you up."
Duan You watched silently and scratched his head.
Ji Xi turned around and went up the mountain with Duan You, Lin Ciqing watched their backs until they disappeared, sat cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes and waited.
The two found an open space on the top of the mountain, and began to stare wide-eyed.
Ji Xi tentatively asked, "Brother, don't you meditate and run your spiritual energy?"
"Meditate? I don't need to meditate," Duan You casually leaned against a tree, "just wait."
Ji Xi was stunned for two seconds before he remembered what was written in the original book, that Duan You's cultivation was never affected by his state of mind, and he would go through calamities when he reached his cultivation level, and he didn't need to prepare anything before breaking through.
In this regard, he can be regarded as exceptionally talented.
They chatted for a while, and the Jieyun came soon, covering the top of the mountain with gloom, Duan You's face straightened: "It's here."
Dark clouds mixed with lightning kept rolling, and Duan You made a defensive posture, staring closely at the top until the first thunderstorm fell, turning a corner and sinking into Ji Xi's body.
Ji Xi frowned lightly, there was indeed pain in his dantian, but it was much better than last time.
Thunder tribulations fell one after another, and all of them were absorbed by Ji Xi without exception. It was the first time Duan You had experienced such a smooth tribulation, and he was dumbfounded: "I... Is this a breakthrough?"
He just stood there and did nothing, breaking through the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
After the robbery cloud dispersed, Lin Ciqing hurried over and probed Ji Xi's dantian: "How do you feel?"
"It doesn't hurt so much this time," Ji Xi leaned over, "It's just that I have no strength."
Lin Ciqing asked Duan You to go down the mountain first, and he briefly sorted out Ji Xi's meridians, and only returned to Xiaofeizhou when Ji Xi could barely walk on his own.
Ji Xi was very sleepy after absorbing the thunder calamity this time, and fell to the side of the bed as soon as he entered the room. Lin Ciqing helped him to lie down, while combing his meridians again.
He fell asleep and didn't wake up until near night. There was no abnormality in his body, and Lei Jie was quietly dormant in his dantian.
Lin Ciqing hugged him right behind him, Ji Xi yawned, turned over and said happily: "Master, look, I'm really fine."
"Well, not bad." Lin Ciqing was completely relieved, and wiped the water from the corners of Ji Xi's eyes, "Are you still sleepy? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Ji Xi shook his head, got up and wanted to get out of bed: "I want to find senior brother, does master know which room he is in?"
Lin Ciqing shook her head slowly, watched Ji Xi put on clothes and shoes in silence, and said, "It should be in the innermost room..."
"I have to tell my brother, he must be very worried." Ji Xi put on his shoes and opened the door, "Master, I'm leaving first."
Lin Ciqing didn't respond, and stared at the door for a long time before looking away.
