Antiquity

Chapter 31 Dragon Pill
Houchi came out of the barrier, and saw Jingjian and Fengran guarding outside with solemn expressions from a distance, before he could say hello, he flew towards the Tiangong.

The two people who were guarding outside only felt a stream of light fly by, and they were already flying away.After carefully looking at the figure on the cloud, Feng Ran couldn't help but be stunned, and a little bit of surprise flashed in his eyes. In just three days, Hou Chi's spiritual power has reached the level of Shangjun, which is simply unimaginable.It seems that Houchi must have a chance encounter in the pilgrimage hall, but she also understands that this is not a good time to inquire, so she hurriedly dragged Jing Jian to chase Houchi towards the Tiangong Palace.

Three days have passed, Qingmu is afraid...

A white light came out from the barrier, passed the two of them in an instant, and pointed directly at Jing Jian's palace in the Heavenly Palace. would be so groggy...

In the future, with Chi's current spiritual power, it will only be a matter of a moment to fly to Zisong Courtyard, but when she really stops outside the gate, she will feel a sense of fear that is close to home, and even the Emperor of Heaven can't save her. Go in, Qingmu has already...

There was a "bang", without time to think about it, Houchi frowned solemnly, pushed open the courtyard door and went straight to the room, even if she changed her fate against the sky, she would not let Qingmu have an accident!

In the quiet room, the pale face of the young man when she left was still visible in his eyes, but at this moment, there was only that piece of black ice left on the empty bed, and Qing Mu was nowhere to be seen.

Turned into flying smoke... Thinking of what the Emperor of Heaven said, Hou Chi stood by the bed in a panic, watching this scene in disbelief, his palms trembled slightly, and suddenly he seemed to have lost all his strength and half-kneeled by the bed, feeling Tightening suddenly, it is almost unacceptable to such a fact.

From the moment she stepped into Lookout Mountain, Qingmu has been by her side all the time. Whenever she turns around, she will definitely see his figure... She is used to his existence, and only when she suddenly loses it will she be so afraid.

"Houchi, what's wrong with you?"

A clear voice sounded behind her, and it was as sweet as the sounds of nature to Houchi's ears. She turned her head abruptly, her eyes becoming moist.

The young man was leaning under the pine tree in the courtyard, dressed in red, with a golden embroidered ribbon around his waist, lazily, with long black hair casually draped over his shoulders, with a thin face and a faint smile on his lips , the coldness disappeared immediately, his eyes were exceptionally clear, and he looked at her tenderly and lovingly.

Houchi stared blankly at Qingmu in the courtyard, suddenly his nose sore, his voice was a little choked up, his eyes were wide open, full of surprise: "Qingmu, are you alright?"

Before the young man could answer, she had already rushed into the yard and hugged him tightly: "The Emperor of Heaven said that you will disappear in thin air... He doesn't say anything good at all. My Father God is right, he is just an open-mouthed man!" Liar, I shouldn't have trusted him!"

The sound of grievance and accusation resounded in the yard with a slight tremor. If you listen carefully, there is even a bit of uncertain panic and fear.

I have never seen Houchi look so worried before, Qingmu was slightly taken aback, his eyes darkened suddenly, he felt the slight trembling of the hands holding him, there was a touch of distress in his eyes, and he raised his hands behind him On the head of the pool, her blue hair was drawn across: "Don't worry, don't worry, speak slowly, I'm here."

The touch of the body was warm and scalding, Hou Chi raised his head, got out of his arms, pinched Qing Mu's face, and confirmed: "The breath of the three fire dragons has been eliminated?"

Qing Mu nodded, and put his face in front of her: "Look, it's all right now."

For some reason, the normally cold face was a little more profound and seductive. Houchi blinked, and a few touches of red appeared on the back of his ears. He hurriedly moved away from him, coughed and said: "No, no, I can see clearly."

Seeing Hou Chi's reaction like this, Qing Mu was taken aback for a moment, a sly look flashed across his eyes, his eyebrows were raised, and he said seriously: "Really? Can you really see clearly?"

Houchi glared at him, straightened his face, and held Qingmu's hand: "Don't move, let me see." Then he was stunned, the foundation of Qingmu's spiritual veins was more stable than before, and even his spiritual power was much thicker , she looked at Qingmu and asked suspiciously: "What's going on, your spiritual power... Could it be...?"

"Well, I guess I should have absorbed the breath of the three fire dragons into my spirit veins. Although I haven't refined them all yet, I guess it won't take long before my spirit power should be enough. It's a higher level. It's a pity that when I woke up, the bedside was empty, and there was no one there." Qing Mu looked at Houchi casually, was also stunned, and said: "Houchi, your soul Has Li Jin reached Shangjun?"

Seeing that Qingmu was completely fine and was still in the mood for joking, Houchi let go of his heart and nodded, "I went to the pilgrimage hall to find the Emperor of Heaven, but for some reason I got the inheritance of spiritual power left in the temple of the ancient true god. By coincidence, the spiritual power soared, and even..." Thinking of the scene of the ancient true god disappearing, Houchi paused, with a sad expression on his face, and stopped talking.

"Pilgrimage Hall?" Qing Mu read it silently, and an inexplicable meaning appeared in his eyes that he didn't even notice: "I didn't expect you to be able to enter there, that place is indeed only accessible to God."

"You know the Temple of Pilgrimage?" Houchi blinked and looked at Qingmu.

"Being in the Three Realms, I've heard of it. That place is mysterious and unpredictable. According to legend, it came from ancient times, but except for the Emperor of Heaven and the Empress of Heaven, there are no superiors who can enter..."

Before Qing Mu finished speaking, the two of them frowned slightly at the same time, looking into the sky, a huge spiritual power suddenly appeared in the sky above the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, interspersed with a dash of unpredictable thunder, with a hint of majesty.

A black figure hangs in mid-air, staring at Qing Mu with scorching eyes, and there is a slight invisible anger in the dark eyes, before the two of them can speak, the Emperor of Heaven has already landed in Zisong Courtyard from the sky.

"Qingmu has met the Emperor of Heaven."

This look is definitely not good intentions, but he doesn't seem to have done anything to offend Tiangong, Qingmu looked at Houchi wondering, maybe it was something this girl did...

Houchi quickly shook his head, looked at the Emperor of Heaven, saw that he was about to eat Qingmu, and asked suspiciously: "Emperor of Heaven, what happened?"

Hearing Hou Chi's words, the Heavenly Emperor's expression finally eased, but he still stared at Qing Mu, squinting his eyes: "Master Qing Mu, the dragon's breath in your body has been cleared?"

Qing Mu nodded, seeing that the Emperor of Heaven looked unkind, he dragged Houchi behind him, blocking his gaze, and said: "Thank you, Emperor of Heaven, for your concern, the dragon's breath has been absorbed into my body, and it will be refined soon... ...As for the reason, I am not very clear."

Seeing Qing Mu's movements, the Heavenly Emperor frowned even tighter, and an inexplicable meaning flashed across his eyes.

Qing Mu raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much.He didn't lie, he was unconscious when he was in a coma, and when he woke up, all the dragon's breath in his body had been sucked into his spiritual veins. If he wanted to talk about the origin, he could only say that he was lucky.

Accompanied by the silence of the Emperor of Heaven, the atmosphere in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard fell into a gloomy state. Suddenly, the Emperor of Heaven looked at Qingmu, and the thick divine power came out of his palm and landed on Qingmu without a doubt. It still made Qing Mu frowned intuitively, the Emperor of Heaven had a strange expression on his face, but he didn't know what he had done to offend the Emperor of Heaven.

After a while, the Heavenly Emperor withdrew his divine power, with a complicated expression on his face. He swung his sleeves and walked out of the Zizhu courtyard without saying a word. Jing Jian and Feng Ran ran in from the outside, only in time to see his gloomy face.

Feng Ran's eyes slanted, she didn't even say hello, she just walked past the Emperor of Heaven, but Jing Jian paused thoughtfully, bowed to the Emperor's back before heading towards Zisong Courtyard.

Before entering the door, I saw two figures, one red and one purple, standing under the green pine. The young man looked gentle and focused on the woman beside her. The girl had soft brows and a smile in her dark eyes.

He couldn't help but be taken aback when he looked at it. Among the immortals all over the sky, if it is said that the pride that permeates the bones, no one can go beyond the back pool, but he didn't expect that she would care so much about Qingmu.

The same simple and elegant robes, and the two people standing side by side, gave him the idea of ​​"a couple of gods, but this is the case". Thinking of Jing Zhao's thoughts on Qing Mu, Jing Jian sighed and walked in. .

Feng Ran was sighing straight at Qing Muhan, if Hou Chi hadn't been watching her covetously from the side, she might have been forced to come forward and knead her.

"Master Qingmu, the dragon's breath in your body..." Jing Jian stepped forward and asked with cupped hands.

Seeing Jing Jian's worried face, Qing Mu nodded and said, "It has already been absorbed into the spiritual vein."

"Thank you, Lord, for your help in Yuanling Swamp. Jing Jian will remember the life-saving grace in his heart. If there is an order, he dares not to follow." Jing Jian bowed solemnly to Qing Mu.

"Second Highness is serious. Since we met, it was a chance." Qing Mu waved his hand casually, and was slightly surprised when Feng Ran looked at Jing Jian with deep meaning on his face, but he didn't go into it. He said, "Since the dragon in my body The information has been resolved, then we will set off for Beihai tomorrow, and the dragon kings should have news at this time."

The Tiangong is not a place to stay for a long time, not to mention that he doesn't want Houchi to stay here to face the Emperor and Empress.

Houchi nodded, and said to Jingjian: "We will not ask the Heavenly Emperor to resign, the Second Highness will just say it for us tomorrow."

"Leave tomorrow...?" Jing Jian was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Feng Ran, and hurriedly said, "Jing Jian is very familiar with the dragon kings, so you might as well go on the same road. If you need it, I can help you a little bit." .”

Houchi waved his hand: "No need, it's not a big deal to find someone here."

"We don't dare. If you provoke a few more ancient beasts back, I'm afraid we won't even have any bones left." Feng Ran glanced at him sideways, snorted, and said, "Only the original power of the Emperor of Heaven can do it." Save Qingmu, who are you lying to? We have been worried for several days, now that Qingmu has not only refined the dragon's breath, but also has a higher level of spiritual power. If I knew it, I wouldn't listen to your nonsense. I got a chance to enter the pilgrimage hall, otherwise I wouldn't bother to listen to you being polite here."

Jing Jian was embarrassed when he heard it, but he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Fengran: "Fengran Shangjun, do you mean that Qing Mu Shangjun not only absorbed the dragon's breath, but also increased his spiritual power?"

Feng Ran was slightly taken aback by his stare, pointed at Qing Mu, and said angrily: "I still can't lie to you, that's right, if you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Qing Mu nodded and said: "That's true, why is the Second Highness so shocked?"

If the dragon's breath enters the body, it will definitely damage the spiritual veins. Even if it is forcibly absorbed, it is impossible for the spiritual power to increase instead of decrease.

Jing Jian looked at Qing Mu in astonishment, his face became hesitant, thinking of the ugly face of the Emperor of Heaven just now, his face changed suddenly, he cupped his hands hurriedly towards Qing Mu, and said: "It's nothing, Lord Qing Mu, Jing Jian suddenly Remembering that there is still one thing to deal with, I will come back tomorrow to see you off."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran outside, his expression completely lost his usual composure, and he didn't even mention the matter of going to Beihai with them tomorrow.

The three of them stared at Jing Jian who had run away, feeling quite puzzled by the strange behavior of the father and son.

"Hou Chi, go in and rest, we will set off tomorrow morning." Qing Mu patted Hou Chi's shoulder and said warmly.

Houchi nodded, walked towards the room, took two steps, turned his head, and looked in the direction where Jingjian disappeared, feeling a sudden sense of uneasiness in his heart.

When Jing Jian rushed to the back hall of Xuantian Palace, he saw the Emperor of Heaven standing beside the hot spring in the back garden from a distance. Even if he didn't get close, he could still feel the aura and coercion of the Emperor of Heaven.

"Royal Father." Jing Jian walked in slowly and called out anxiously. For thousands of years, even though the three brothers and sisters were hurt by the cruel thoughts of True God Bai Jue last time, he had never seen Royal Father so angry. As he expected, Jing Zhao was really ignorant this time!
"Jing Jian, go to Juxian Pond and call your eldest brother out forcibly. As for Jing Zhao... imprison her in the Immortal Locking Pagoda, no one can release her without my order." Concealing his disappointment, the Heavenly Emperor waved his hands with his back on his back.

"Father, the third sister is just a mistake, please think again, father, not to mention... the Immortal Locking Pagoda damages the spiritual roots, and her current body is not suitable for being confined in the Immortal Locking Tower."

Jing Jian hurriedly knelt down on the ground with an anxious and worried expression.

"Damage to the spiritual roots? How much painstaking efforts have been spent on her by her mother and I in the past tens of thousands of years, and now she asks for troubles and has no complaints with others. If Qing Mu likes her, that's all. Do you still let me ask for help?"

The Heavenly Emperor suddenly turned around, his face was livid, the violent spiritual power suddenly dissipated the surrounding space, too lazy to listen to Jing Jian's intercession, the Heavenly Emperor flung his sleeves and ran, disappearing beside the hot spring.

It seems that the only option is to wait for the mother to come back and intercede for Jing Zhao...

Jing Jian sighed, stood up, and looked up at Juxian Pond, which was full of aura in the east of Tiangong, with a complicated expression.

Qing Mu is nothing more than a superior to the father, the father would be willing to save him with the power of the source for the sake of Houchi, but he would never agree with the third sister to save him at the price of the life dragon pill, even In the future, I will become a monster for this reason...

Everyone in the Three Realms knew that the Heavenly Emperor had three sons and a daughter, but they didn't know that the three sons were all phoenix bodies. Only this female was considered to have inherited the five-clawed golden dragon's bloodline. This is also the real reason why the Emperor of Heaven loved Jing Zhao like a jewel for tens of thousands of years.

The only difference between the ancient divine beast and the ancient fierce beast is the inner alchemy in the body. The elixir in the divine beast can absorb the aura of the heavens and the earth, so it is equivalent to inviting the heavens on the way of cultivation, and the time required is much less than that of ordinary immortals. The ferocious beast can only rely on its own body to accumulate monster power little by little, but because of this, if the ferocious beast becomes a true fruit, it will be stronger than the divine beast.

Jing Zhao was originally of the blood of the ancient golden dragon. If he lost the dragon pill, his body would suffer little damage, but in the future, he could only rely on his own strength like a fierce beast. If he was not careful, he might lose his life forever and become a monster.

The three fire dragons have the body of a demigod, so how could their dragon breath be able to resist easily? Jing Jian just realized that besides his father, there is also Jing Zhao's natal dragon pill in this world that can help him refine it. It's just... the dragon core was covered under the hot dragon's breath of the three fire dragons, even Qing Mu couldn't detect it, but it couldn't escape the natural resonance of the father and daughter's blood. I've already noticed it, that's why I lost my composure...

Now... that dragon pill has been sucked into Qingmu's spiritual vein together with the breath of the three fire dragons. Although it has not been completely refined, if it is forcibly taken out, the dragon pill will be destroyed, and Qingmu will undoubtedly die. This is also the reason why the father was furious, but he never forcibly took out the dragon pill from Qingmu's body.

Jing Zhao’s use of the Dragon Pill to help Qing Mu was voluntary, but now that Qing Mu’s life is being forcibly taken, even the Emperor of Heaven can’t justify it. What’s even more absurd is that the beneficiaries obviously don’t know anything about Jing Zhao’s reckless actions...

Jing Jian smiled wryly. I'm afraid she also understood that if that person knew, he might not accept it at all!

However, Jing Zhao obviously practiced in Juxian Pond and was isolated from the outside world, so how could he know that Qingmu was suffering from the dragon's breath, and even managed to escape from Juxian Pond... without alarming anyone?
Jing Jian turned his head and looked in the direction of Zisongyuan. Jing Zhao lost the dragon pill, and the queen mother would know that because of her love for Jing Zhao, she would definitely get back the dragon pill in Qingmu's body, but if the queen mother faced Houchi, What's the situation like?

But once Qingmu and Houchi know the truth...

A game of chess, one wrong piece, the whole game is in chaos... No matter what you choose, it's all wrong.

A shallow sigh slowly drifted into the apse. The plain-clothed youth looked at himself in the pool, rubbed the corners of his brows, and flew towards Juxian Pond.

Outside Juxian Pond.

The pale-faced Jing Zhao leaned against the fake rock by the pool, raised his eyebrows and looked at the charming woman in Tsing Yi not far away, and said coldly: "Qing Li, this is the Nine Heavens Palace, you are a monster, how dare you grow up?" Keep?"
