Chapter 306: Unable to Support
The weather had been bad the past few days, with dark clouds and a constant drizzle. Even the demons that had been harassing us every night had disappeared without a trace.
This phenomenon did not make people feel relieved. Instead, it was like a huge stone hanging over everyone's heads, making people feel uneasy.
Before, the matters concerning the city tower were taken care of by the eldest senior brother and his men, so it was not Nan Xiao's turn to worry about it. Now that there were direct disciples from several other sects, it was even less her turn to help.
Huanhai Sect and Changning Sect also brought a lot of alchemy disciples this time. Now the alchemy room is not crowded, but it can be said to be full. Nan Xiao had no place to stay, so he was idle.
She had nothing to do, so she stayed in the space to practice. If someone needed her, they could knock on the door and call her, and she would be able to hear it. During this period, Su Xun and Lu Huai both came to look for her once, but seeing that she was practicing, they did not disturb her.
Nan Xiao was immersed in cultivation, his consciousness transformed into a flexible silk thread, exploring deep into his dantian.
At this moment, her Dantian was like a boundless expanse of darkness. As her spiritual energy circulated, tiny glimmers of light began to flicker and converge, gradually outlining the outline of a vast reservoir. Each strand of spiritual energy, like a crystal droplet of water, was drawn from the acupoints throughout her body, flowing happily along her meridians, and pouring into her Dantian.
At first, the water droplets were sparse, but as the practice deepened, the water flow became more and more turbulent, and the spiritual power level in the "reservoir" continued to rise.
As her spiritual energy converged, Nan Xiao could clearly sense it blending, colliding, and blending, creating a wonderful resonance. It circulated orderly throughout her body, flushing every inch of her meridians, making her feel comfortable and empowered.
After an unknown amount of time, Nan Xiao felt that the spiritual power in his dantian had reached full strength, and he slowly came out of his cultivation state.
She exhaled lightly, stood up, and felt full of strength.
She sat on the mat for a moment, lost in thought. Was it because she was absorbing spiritual energy faster? Or had she been cultivating for too long?
Nan Xiao got up and went downstairs, ready to go out and take a look. As soon as she reached the first floor, she saw Xiao Ling waving the bone in his hand and chasing Xiao Shitou to hit him, while Xiao Ya was lying comfortably in the spiritual liquid, clapping his hands happily with his two leaves.
It’s just… a bit of a headache. When will they stop fighting?
Or maybe she went downstairs the wrong way.
My fellow brothers in the Spirit Beast Sect, some of them raise a group of spirit pets and have never seen them fight, but why does hers fight every now and then?
As soon as Little Stone saw Nan Xiao, he flapped his wings and flew over. He landed on her shoulder and started crying, "Master, look, Xiao Ling is hitting me again. She's almost plucked all my feathers. If she keeps this up, I'll be bald and no longer pretty."
The more it spoke, the more aggrieved it felt. It raised its little head high and cried so hard that tears as big as beans fell down "pat". It looked so pitiful that it made people feel heartbroken.
"Master, please don't want her anymore, she's too bad. Wuuuuu..."
Xiao Ling was standing by, and when he heard what it said, his hand holding the bone creaked, and he looked angry.
If Nan Xiao hadn't been there, he would have rushed over by now.
Nan Xiao sighed again. He was judging a case right after he got out of prison.
Well, she wants to be a master who understands the big picture.
She held the little stone in her arms, stroked its feathers with her hands, and asked gently, "Xiao Ling is an obedient baby. Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"
Little Stone sobbed, "She's just mean. I saw her gnawing on dirty bones every day, and I was worried she'd get sick, so I kindly roasted some for her to burn off the dirt. But she didn't even thank me, and she even beat me and plucked my hair. I've never seen a girl worse than her."
Nan Xiao: “…”
Forget girls, you haven't even seen a few females.
Of course, she wouldn't say it out loud and hurt it.
When this was mentioned, Xiao Ling, who had just calmed down, became angry again and reached out to strangle Xiao Shitou's neck.
Little Shitou was frightened. He covered his head with his wings and kept trying to get into Nanxiao's arms.
"Master, please save me. She dared to hit me in front of you. In the future, when you can't see me, she will bully me to death."
Nan Xiao turned sideways and avoided Xiao Ling's hand.
"Okay, be quiet. We can't just listen to you, we have to listen to Xiao Ling too."
The little stone buried its head in her arms. This time it was not wrong.
Nan Xiao touched Xiao Ling's head, and the hairstyle she had braided for her before the retreat was messy again.
She softened her voice and asked, "Why are you hitting the small stones?"
Xiao Ling handed over the bone in his hand and demonstrated it with his hands. Nan Xiao half guessed and half guessed and understood the whole thing.
Xiao Ling likes to chew on ghost bones because she likes the evil energy on them. To her, they are food and a great tonic.
Little Stone's flames were specifically designed to counteract this kind of evil energy. In other words, Little Stone's fire burned all of Xiao Ling's food, leaving her with nothing but bare bones. What use was there for her to have bones? She didn't really enjoy gnawing on them, so Xiao Ling exploded on the spot, leading to the scene that followed.
Little Stone knew his good intentions had led to the wrong outcome, so he awkwardly flew out of Nan Xiao's arms, landed in front of Xiao Ling, and reluctantly stretched out a wing, turning his head to the side. "I'm wrong this time. I apologize. You can pluck a few of my feathers. I won't resist, and I'll consider it my apology. But you can't pluck them all, or I won't be able to fly."
Xiao Ling slapped it away, she didn't want it.
Without the little stone to get in the way, Xiao Ling shook Nan Xiao's arm in grievance. She unscrewed the bell that previously contained the ghost bone, and found it was empty. She touched her belly again and looked at Nan Xiao with anticipation.
Nan Xiao: “……….”
Damn it, she didn't want to understand.
Where could she catch the Ghost King as a snack? It would be better for her to be a snack for the Ghost King.
Small buds are nurtured with spiritual liquid, small stones are nurtured with crystals, and small spirits are nurtured with ghost kings.
The first two were expensive, and could be solved with spirit stones. As for the latter... putting aside her strength, was it really that easy to encounter a Ghost King? Among ten thousand ghosts, not even one could cultivate to the level of a Ghost King.
I can't afford it, I really can't.
Nan Xiao skillfully gave Xiao Ling a big promise, took a look at Xiao Ya's injuries, and left the space directly.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Qiao Yue walking in with an umbrella.
Nan Xiao's eyes lit up: "Senior Sister."
"Junior Sister is out."
On the first day after returning, Nan Xiao told Qiao Yue roughly what had happened to him.
Qiao Yue went to take a look at the space and also told her to keep it covered.
"Yeah, yeah, Senior Sister and I really have a tacit understanding. As soon as I came out, Senior Sister came over."
"You're getting sweeter and sweeter." Qiao Yue folded up her umbrella and placed it outside the house. "I came here this time to give you something."
Under Nan Xiao's puzzled gaze, Qiao Yue took out a stack of talismans and placed them on the table.
"These are the ones I drew recently. There are several new talismans in them. I thought you might like them, so I brought them all here.
Upon hearing this, Nan Xiao reached out and flipped the talisman out of curiosity.
Phantom Talisman, Hypnosis Talisman, Escape Talisman, Displacement Talisman... A hint of novelty first flashed across her face, and then it was filled with joy. The corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably, and her eyes were bright.
Obviously, these novel talismans made her very excited.
She put away the talisman and hugged Qiao Yue.
"Senior Sister, you are so kind."
