Chapter 584 Taking advantage of the opportunity

Liu Qingning was frightened by the fierce light in the giant eyes of the black python, and then turned around and flew away without hesitation.

After returning to Qianling Mountain, Liu Qingning immediately began to retreat, on the one hand to restore the lost blood essence, on the other hand to use the Xuanshui Lingzhu to break through to the middle stage of the golden elixir.

This retreat lasted for three years, and with the help of the Xuanshui Lingzhu, she really successfully advanced to the middle stage of the golden elixir.

This surprised her inexplicably, and she also tasted the sweetness of this treasure, and she also wanted to rely on this Xuanshui Lingzhu to continue practicing, even if one day she practiced to the late stage of the golden elixir or even the great perfection, it was not impossible.

She had never mentioned the matter of having the Xuanshui Lingzhu to anyone, and no one knew about the cave under the waterfall. The three people who explored with her had all been buried in the mouth of the black python.

The one-eyed guard of the two stone beasts outside the door is the extremely precious Xuanshui Lingzhu, so there may be more precious treasures behind the stone door.

After thinking about it for several years, Liu Qingning could almost judge that the stone house behind the waterfall should be an ancient cave house, and judging from the mottled stone door, it had at least experienced thousands of years of erosion.

The only thing that puzzled her was why the black python was suddenly locked by a black chain when it chased her for about ten miles?

She originally thought that it was a passing cultivator who lent a hand, but after thinking about it for a long time, she felt that this possibility was extremely low. If someone could really subdue the black python, it would be impossible to find the stone house, and it might not let her leave calmly.

The matter of the stone house was deeply buried in her heart, but after breaking through the middle stage of the golden elixir, although her realm was still constantly improving, she felt something was wrong.

At this point, Liu Qingning stopped, and her pretty face became paler and paler.

After a pause, she continued to narrate.

Since she got this Xuanshui Lingzhu, she put the Xuanshui Lingzhu into her dantian every day, using it to accelerate the speed of absorbing spiritual energy.

Over the past year, she has noticed something is wrong.

After saying this, Liu Qingning rolled up her sleeves in front of Xiao Lin, revealing a section of her snow-white arm.

Xiao Lin looked at Liu Qingning's arm, which was as white as sheep fat, and his face showed a surprised expression, and his brows slightly wrinkled.

It turned out that dense black scales had grown on Liu Qingning's arm. Judging from its position, it was obvious that the entire arm above the elbow was covered with these black scales.

Xiao Lin casually flicked out a small sword light and gently slashed on the scales.

"Clang." There was a sound of metal clashing.

Xiao Lin's face was full of surprise. This black scale seemed to be somewhat similar to the golden scale that appeared when he practiced the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, but in fact it was not the same thing.

The golden scale that appeared when Xiao Lin performed the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique was, after all, the condensation of his own blood and qi, and it was a state of manifestation when this technique was practiced to a certain level.

The black scales on Liu Qingning's arm were far less defensive than the golden scales condensed from his own blood and qi.

If Xiao Lin's sword light was a little more condensed, it would be easy to cut it open.

In Xiao Lin's opinion, Liu Qingning was very similar to the legendary demonization, but he had never really seen the phenomenon of demonization, so he was not sure.

"Fairy Liu suspected that the black scales were related to the Xuanshui Lingzhu?" Xiao Lin asked after thinking for a moment.

Liu Qingning nodded: "More than half a year ago, this kind of black scales began to appear on my body. At first, I thought it was a demonic possession or some kind of poison."

"But when I used my magic power to try to dispel it, I was surprised to find that I couldn't get rid of these black scales at all, and with daily practice, this phenomenon is gradually getting worse. Now, I don't dare to practice through the Xuanshui Lingzhu." With a sigh, Liu Qingning said.

"I guess I can only apologize. This is the first time I have seen such a situation. I really can't help."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I am not here to seek your treatment, but I want to invite you to go to the stone house together to seek opportunities. Of course, since I suspect that all this is caused by the Mysterious Water Spirit Pearl, there may be a way to relieve this symptom in the stone house." Liu Qingning said.

Xiao Lin chuckled in his heart. After listening to Liu Qingning's account of the incident, he really became very interested in the stone house, but he naturally would not take the initiative to bring it up.

Instead, he wanted Liu Qingning to take the initiative to bring it up, so that he could take the initiative and seek more benefits.

Liu Qingning was entangled by this strange scale at the moment, so naturally he would not think too much about whether he was being calculated by the person in front of him.

"I see, but that emperor-level great perfection monster is really a bit difficult to deal with." Xiao Lin heard this, and he showed hesitation on his face, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Liu Qingning saw Xiao Lin's hesitation, and her pretty face suddenly showed anxiety.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao was able to kill Gu Changqing easily, and defeated Senior Brother Long Kui in less than a cup of tea. His fighting power is probably very close to that of the Nascent Soul Patriarch. With Fellow Daoist Xiao's fighting power, it should not be difficult to kill the black python."

After a pause, seeing that Xiao Lin had no expression on his face, he continued, "That stone mansion must be a cultivation cave of an ancient cultivator. There may be many treasures in it. As long as Fellow Daoist Xiao helps Qing Ning find a way to deal with the scales, how about letting Fellow Daoist Xiao choose one of the treasures first?"

When Xiao Lin heard this, there was a hint of smile in his eyes: "Fairy Liu, Xiao is indeed somewhat confident in dealing with that black python, but in this way, the fairy doesn't seem to have exerted much effort."

When Liu Qingning heard this, her nose almost became crooked with anger, and she couldn't help but greet Xiao Lin in her heart. However, she had something to seek from the person in front of her at the moment, so she couldn't easily turn against him.

After thinking about it, the fact that this person could say this at least proved that he was not a hypocrite. Regarding this kind of truly villainous behavior, Liu Qingning actually let go of her grudge a little bit.

In fact, she had originally thought about telling the ancestor of the sect Hundred Beasts about the Shi Mansion, but after careful consideration, she gave up the idea. After all, she might not even be able to drink soup in front of the ancestor of Yuanying.

And the few Golden Core monks she has made friends with are mostly similar to her, either in the middle stage of the Golden Core or in the early stage of the Golden Core. Moreover, even ordinary late-stage Golden Core monks, in front of the emperor-level Dzogchen Black Python, It’s not enough to watch either.

The battle between Xiao Lin and Nightshade Nightshade at Hongluan Peak in Dancao Mountain made her directly decide on Xiao Lin as the best candidate for cooperation.

It's just that she didn't trust Xiao Lin at the time, and this person who is now the number one golden elixir in the Tianlu Mountains, after all, has some quarrel with her because of Liu Mei Yatou's matter. If this person is a small-minded and shameless person.

However, he was undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger. As a result, the problem was not solved and all the advantages were taken by this person.

Therefore, after returning to Qianling Mountain, I also tried to inquire about Xiao Lin's character. However, after some inquiry, I found that Xiao Lin has not had any close friends since joining Dancao Mountain and usually lives alone. In the past, apart from Master Su Qingyun, Tao Ling seemed to be his only friend.

Later, Liu Qingning got a rough understanding of Xiao Lin's character from Tao Ling through an inner disciple of Dancao Mountain. She knew that this person had a tough heart. Apart from going out for training, he basically practiced in the cave. As for ordinary communication, , visiting friends, but not at all.

Liu Qingning was not satisfied with the result, but there were more and more pitch-black scales on her body, and they began to spread between her arms and chest and abdomen. Even if she gave up practicing with the Mysterious Water Spirit Bead, she could not suppress the growth of the scales. Breeding, if it continues to be delayed, I'm afraid it won't be long before she is completely demonized.

That's why she decided to take some risks and bet on Xiao Lin's character, so she sent a letter from Feijian to invite Xiao Lin here.

"Does Fellow Daoist Xiao want to swallow up all the treasures in the Stone Mansion? You must know that the demon plain is vast, and without the guidance of the little girl, Fellow Daoist may not be able to figure out the path even if he searches for a hundred years." Liu Qingning said angrily.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but touch his nose, knowing that he couldn't push the girl too much: "Except for the other Xuanshui spirit bead on the stone beast at the entrance of the cave, Xiao will give priority to two of the treasures in the stone mansion, and the remaining How about a split?”

"What if there are only two?"

"If there are only two pieces, how about Xiao choosing one first and the other one belonging to the fairy?"

After hearing this, the anger on Liu Qingning's pretty face softened slightly, but of course she still couldn't help but slander "No grace." in her heart.

"Okay, let's allocate it according to what Fellow Daoist Xiao said."

A smile appeared on Xiao Lin's face, which made Liu Qingning even more angry. However, she had no choice. Who could ask her to ask for help? Moreover, there were more and more scales on her body. If she didn't solve it in time, it might affect her in the future. practice.

"Fairy, lead the way."

...

Two long rays of light rose into the sky, folded slightly, and then headed towards the east.

Half a month later.

The two of them had penetrated tens of thousands of miles into the Demonic Origin, and Xiao Lin had already used the secret technique of ghost concealment to hide his figure, and Liu Qingyao had also used a secret technique of invisibility to hide his appearance.

However, the two were still able to sense each other through their spiritual consciousness. Of course, Xiao Lin mainly did not hide his own aura, otherwise Liu Qingyao would not be able to detect Xiao Lin's traces even if they were close at hand.

Along the way, they also passed by the territory of several emperor-level monsters, but the two of them did not get entangled with the monsters, and walked around far away. After that, the two simply concealed themselves to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Brother Xiao, we'll be here in about half an hour." Liu Qingning's voice rang in Xiao Lin's ears. After spending several days together, the distance between the two seemed to have become closer.

The words are no longer so raw.

"The fairy once said that once the black python leaves the deep pool for more than ten miles, it will be locked by a dark chain?"

"That's right. If it hadn't been for being chained, Qing Ning would have died here."
