Destroy and then establish

  Xu Ziqing stroked the young eagle's downy head with his hand and couldn't help but smile, saying: "You're growing up fast."

  The young eagle puffed out its belly and jumped back onto his neck, curling up.

  Xu Ziqing crouched down at this time, carefully examining the plant. He thought that he had also memorized several ancient books on spiritual herbs, thinking that he was already well-versed. But this one plant he didn't recognize, showing that natural things are vast and broad, not limited to what is written in a few books.

  Since he didn't recognize it and didn't know if it was poisonous, he just left it for observation.

  The whole plant is light green, and the leaves are clear as jade, each one transparent, and it seems that the veins can be seen. And at the root, it was dug up by a young eagle, and the insect was taken out. Now the insect has been eaten, but Xu Zi Qing saw the roots, which were a kind of goose yellow color, and the length was similar to ginseng, without any knots, so I don't know if it can be used or not, whether it has medicinal properties or not.

  After a glance, Xu Ziqing stretched out his hand to scoop up the mud beside him and carefully covered the roots of the plant. Chonghua was only digging for insects, if this caused the plant to die in vain, it wouldn't be right.

  After that, Xu Zi Qing and the young eagle stayed in this cave, as it was warm like spring and didn't need to build a house. So Xu Zi Qing also enjoyed the pleasure of lying on the ground and sitting under the sky, going with the young eagle to find insects to eat during the day, and at night, one person and one eagle went out of the cave to admire the whirlpools in the lake, if they were tired, they would meditate for a while to nourish their bodies with spiritual energy.

  Every night when Xu Ziqing fell asleep, he would involuntarily go to that dark and deep place. Every time he stumbled forward, he would inevitably see the man in white clothes.

  The man in white never spoke to Xu Ziqing, at first he still had to ask Xu Ziqing for directions, later on, as soon as he saw him, he would just wave his sleeve and send Xu Ziqing away.

  Day after day, Xu Ziqing felt a bit embarrassed, but didn't know how to control himself. He wanted to thank the man in white, but could only exchange glances and not have a conversation. He thought that this cold and stern man didn't like to talk much, so he just remembered this favor and cherished it in his heart, planning to repay him later.

  However, he still didn't know where that was or what status the man in white had. He had thought it might be a corner of the Yellow Springs Road, but later he knew he was still alive in the world and couldn't guess anymore.

  Unbeknownst to him, more than a dozen days had passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Xu Ziqing was about to go have dinner with the young eagles as usual when his stomach suddenly growled loudly. He pressed his palm against it and immediately felt hungry.

  Originally, the inferior foundation-building pill's effect had already passed, and by today, he should have started eating again.

  For a while, Xu Ziqing calmed down and smiled at Chonghua: "Chonghua, why don't you eat first, then accompany me, okay?"

  The young eagle gently pecked at his cheek and cooed in response.

  Then he looked for another plant to feed the eaglet with insects, and only then did Xu Ziqing move forward, searching for a tree branch with fruit. After walking over a hundred steps, on the left side in front of him were three or five short trees about two feet high, their branches laden with fruit, almost bending under its weight.

  Xu Ziqing stopped in his tracks, walked over to take a look, and saw that the fruit was plump and round, about the size of a longan, with colors ranging from green to red to purple, hanging in clusters under large yellow leaves, emitting a faint fragrance.

  He then wrapped his hand with his sleeve, picked a purple one, and brought it to his face for a sniff. The fragrance was quite pleasant, and he didn't feel dizzy, so it should be edible? But he didn't dare to be certain.

  However, he didn't know how many years or months he would have to stay in this cave. Even if he suspected something, he couldn't starve to death like this. After thinking for a while, he carefully peeled one of them, removed the shell, and put it in his mouth to taste it slightly.

  The flavor was rich and mellow, he waited for a moment, feeling no discomfort, before swallowing it. As soon as it entered his mouth, he felt the sweetness of the fruit, and after entering his stomach, it turned into a warm current, instantly dispelling all hunger.

  Xu Ziqing was delighted, having eaten only one grain and already seeing such effects. If it were really so, it would save a lot of trouble! Because the shells were relatively hard, he picked off several strings, took off his outer garment, made a bundle, and wrapped them up.

  Just as he was about to turn back, he suddenly saw a young eagle flying quickly and flapping its wings, and it actually flew forward! Xu Ziqing was shocked, Rong Hua was still young, how could he fly?

  But the young eagle stumbled and staggered all the way, and no matter how much Xu Ziqing shouted from behind, it refused to stop. Xu Ziqing was at a loss for what to do, and with anxiety in his heart, he could only hurry after it.

  These days, apart from the insects at the roots of the plants, Xu Ziqing had not seen any other living creatures and did not think it was dangerous. It's just that the forest ahead is denser, if Ronghua gets lost, wouldn't that be heartbreaking!

  Only the young eagles flew over two clusters of trees, and then passed through a screen of vines, but arrived at a quiet place. The spiritual energy there was rolling in, several times more than elsewhere. It was limited to only a few square meters, and gave birth to a patch of green and luxuriant land.

  The air in the nostrils is refreshing and enjoyable, while the young eagle jumps onto the ridge, flapping its wings and chirping non-stop.

  Xu Ziqing thought that the young eagle had caught wind of a new insect, and couldn't help but laugh: "Chonghua, have you found something good?"

  The young eagle tilted its head to look at him, with a silly and adorable expression. Xu Ziqing was also indulgent towards it, so he followed his thoughts and went over to dig up the soil with his hands.

  The soil here is moist, and when pinched in the palm of your hand, it has a faint reddish tint. The earthy aroma is very refreshing, but with a hint of sweetness that is almost imperceptible, which is really rare.

  After digging for a moment, I didn't see any insects, but instead dug up a palm-sized green root. The color was rich and full, the shape was moist and tender, and there was a hint of spiritual energy contained within, which seemed to be very effective in quenching thirst.

  Xu Ziqing wrapped it in cloth, took a peek through the light, and saw that on a piece of clear blue fabric, a red dot was stuck, and he carefully identified it. Suddenly, the red dot rushed towards him, hitting him right between the eyebrows, Xu Ziqing only felt like his head had been hit by a large hammer, and with a loud crash, he fell backwards.

  A young eagle on one side was anxious and chirping non-stop, flying around Xu Ziqing, but couldn't wake him up. The green root, like oil entering water, gradually penetrated into Xu Ziqing's body, after which Xu Ziqing's face turned pale and his clothes were all torn to shreds, his skin red and swollen, as if there was a surge of green energy moving under his skin, only then did it calm down.

  Xu Ziqing had indeed reached a very critical moment at this time.

  This greenish substance is not actually a plant root, but the essence of the energy of the element Wood, called "Wood Essence", which is born in the place where the energy of Wood is most prosperous. It takes ten thousand years to condense one drop of essence, and after countless years, it can solidify into a small piece of gel-like substance, accumulating bit by bit until it becomes a solid state.

  This place was opened by someone, but it's unknown who. It's located in a secret realm that only opens once every five years, and it's also under the whirlpool at the bottom of the lake, making it difficult for anyone to enter. Moreover, inside this cave, there are mostly short trees, wisteria, and green grass, all of which belong to the element of wood. As a result, the energy of wood is extremely strong here, and over the years, it has accumulated into something precious. Now, with this palm-sized thing, who knows how many years or months it took to achieve?

  If Xu Ziqing's luck was good, he would naturally take in the essence of the second wood and use the endless yin energy to repair his dantian and return to his cultivation. However, his luck was poor, but because of the essence of the second wood over the years, there was still a seed attached to it.

  And this grain of seed is the seed of the bloodthirsty vine.

  The Bloodthirsty Vine, as the name suggests, is the most ferocious and bloodthirsty vine-like plant in the nine thousand worlds. It is extremely rare and legend has it that it can only thrive in places where blood has been spilled and evil deeds have been committed. When its vines grow out, they feed on the flesh and blood of all living beings, whether mortal, cultivator or immortal. As long as one is born with flesh and blood, once entwined by the vine, there is no escape, making it the most malevolent entity.

  This seed was brought by someone, and it accompanied the essence of the second wood. Over the years, the aura gradually decreased, but it did not sprout. Now that Xu Ziqing has approached, the demon vine seed sensed human aura and rushed over. If Xu Ziqing had not absorbed the essence of the second wood at once, making it feel familiar, it would have been sucked dry into a mummy long ago!

  However, it was a bloodthirsty object. As soon as it entered Xu Ziqing's body, he felt extremely painful. The seed of the demon vine actually wanted to parasitize him, never parting with the essence of the yin wood forever.

  For a moment, the seeds of the demon vine were about to merge with Xu Ziqing's essence and blood, while the essence of the second wood quickly dissolved into Xu Ziqing's blood vessels, repairing his damaged dantian. In this way, the upper and lower parts struggled and merged, causing Xu Ziqing to feel as if he was placed between two extremes of ice and fire, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, suffering unbearable pain!

  In the end, the refined energy of the wooden element was even more powerful, and all the essence of many years belonged to Xu Ziqing. In an instant, he restored his dantian. Xu Ziqing's consciousness was blurry, but his instincts wanted to alleviate the pain, so he naturally ran the "Huacao Jue". The wooden spiritual energy surged in wildly, coming from the ling root, and rapidly circulated, causing him to return to the first layer of refining qi in an instant. Then, with the help of these two energies, he continuously opened up the acupoints, circulating endlessly...

  After a long time, several meridians were unblocked, and Xu Ziqing's cultivation soared like a sudden rise in water level. The demon vine seeds felt the vitality of the wood element so lively that they gradually calmed down due to their closeness in heart.

  After a long time, the speed of "Hua Cao Jue" slowed down and gradually stopped, but the spiritual energy was still pouring in. Suddenly, it seemed to hit something stuck, countless Dharma sounds poured into the ear, directly into the sea of consciousness, colliding back and forth, stunning and deafening!

  The spiritual energy forms a vortex in the dantian, and with this new mantra quickly rotating, the spiritual energy travels through the hundred meridians, clearing any blockages, making everything smooth and agile, then settles back into the dantian, accumulating thicker and more majestic.

  The demon vine seed originally stopped at Xu Ziqing's brow, but was suddenly pulled down by the attractive force, deep into the dantian, and was rolled up in the vortex, bit by bit, grinding away the remaining qi, and merging with the vortex as one.

  It eventually came under control.

  At this time, Xu Ziqing suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Hiss!" He woke up immediately.

  Just as he came to, Xu Zi Qing had already sensed the changes in his body. He only knew that now his body was light and agile, even more relaxed than when he was cultivating before. He lowered his head to take a look, and the green root stem in his hand had disappeared. Suddenly, as if he had realized something, he sat down cross-legged, probed slightly, and indeed his dantian had recovered!

  Re-entering his body, Xu Zi Qing was shocked beyond measure.

  The whole body has twenty meridians, and eight of them have been opened up. This situation... is actually a clear indication that he already possesses the cultivation base of refining Qi for five layers!
