After leaving the TK bar, Qin Xuan held the delicate body of the strange woman and stopped a taxi.
"Hey, young man, you're really lucky in love!" The taxi driver glanced at the half-unconscious woman and chuckled.
Qin Xuan naturally didn't answer and just smiled faintly. The driver, feeling embarrassed, didn't say anything more.
In the car, the faint fragrance of the woman kept coming into Qin Xuan's nose, and her hands tightly wrapped around his waist. This kind of feeling might have made others extremely excited, but Qin Xuan couldn't help frowning slightly. In his previous life, countless fairy maidens and saintesses had tried to touch his body, but now he was so intimate with a strange woman, which made Qin Xuan feel like he was being "taken advantage of".
He frowned and moved his body to keep a distance from the woman. Unexpectedly, the woman shrank a little and also moved, hugging Qin Xuan tightly again.
"Does she really think of me as a pillow?" Qin Xuan laughed dumbly and felt a bit helpless.
In the end, he could only let the woman take advantage of him for the sake of the spirit crystal.
When they arrived at the Still Water Pearl, Qin Xuan slowly got out of the car, carried the woman directly into the villa and put her on the bed in a room.
He took out the jade pendant on the woman's chest, held it up with both hands and carefully examined the emerald green jade pendant. The jade pendant had no carvings, was completely green and shone with a dull luster under the light, and was oval-shaped.
Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel lucky that fortunately the spirit crystal hadn't been carved, otherwise, a spirit crystal might have been completely destroyed.
He took the jade pendant and went to the living room, sat cross-legged and put the spirit crystal in front of him with his palms up. The Evergreen Secret Art began to operate slightly, and the emerald green spirit crystal emitted a faint luster at this moment and gradually floated into the air.
The pure spiritual energy slowly overflowed from the spirit crystal and rushed into Qin Xuan's body. As the Evergreen Secret Art operated, this spiritual energy flowed through Qin Xuan's meridians and only returned to the dantian after running for a whole cycle.
Qin Xuan's mind sank into the dantian, and every cycle, a stream of pure spiritual power flowed into the spiritual sea, making the spiritual sea gradually expand.
In the Qi Refining Realm, the spiritual sea can reach nine zhang. Every three zhang of the spiritual sea is considered as one grade, and nine zhang is the peak of the top grade and can condense the sea into a pill. In the cultivation world, there are even some heaven-defying prodigies who can condense a ten-zhang spiritual sea, and this realm is also called the Great Perfection, which means a perfect foundation building.
Moreover, the spiritual sea is divided into many attributes, such as the most basic five elements attributes, or the higher-level spiritual product attributes, such as wind, thunder, ice and light. In legends, there are even fairy product attributes like extreme yin and extreme yang and divine product attributes that involve time and space.
Each attribute represents the talent of a cultivator, and the Evergreen Secret Art cultivates the most basic wood attribute.
Blue-green is the color of the wood attribute. The spiritual sea in Qin Xuan's body was also like this. The blue-green spiritual sea continued to expand. As time passed, this one-zhang spiritual sea slowly increased to two zhang, and the blue-green sea water didn't have the slightest ripple.
Qin Xuan's eyes suddenly opened and closed, and at this moment, it seemed that a blue light flashed in his eyes. His breath rushed out like a long ribbon and gradually dissipated in the world.
"Sure enough, with the help of the spirit crystal, cultivation is almost twice the result with half the effort!" Qin Xuan smiled gently. He reached out and took the spirit crystal in the air and examined it carefully. The originally slightly shiny spirit crystal was even more transparent at this moment, and occasionally a flash of luster passed by.
The appearance didn't change much, but Qin Xuan knew very well that half of the spiritual energy in the spirit crystal had been absorbed by him.
Looking at the sky, it was already late at night. Qin Xuan took a deep breath and his expression became a bit solemn.
This time, he began to prepare to condense the Evergreen Body.
Humans are the masters of all things and can cultivate the Dao of heaven and earth and understand the Buddha Dharma of cause and effect. However, the human body itself is extremely weak. The body is the thing that carries oneself, and the Buddhist sect compares the human body to the sea of suffering. The so-called Qi Refining is also the meaning of opening up the spiritual sea and getting out of the sea of suffering to reach the other shore.
After all, for the human body, the human race itself has congenital disadvantages, and very few people are willing to sacrifice the fundamentals for the secondary and practice body tempering.
However, the Evergreen Secret Art is a dual cultivation of law and body, and the Evergreen Body is the most important part of the Evergreen Secret Art.
In the demon race, there are dragons and phoenixes. They can tear tigers and leopards apart at birth and feed on pythons, and are the masters of all living beings. Among the myriad races in the starry sky, there are even strange races like the ancient race. Their children can lift a thousand-jin tripod and crack a one-zhang stone with their feet, and are born with extraordinary talents.
The original intention of the Evergreen Body is to condense the body, which is comparable to dragons and phoenixes and can fight against the ancient race. Only when the body is indestructible can it last forever.
The first gathering of the sea in the Qi Refining Realm of the Evergreen Secret Art means gathering the spiritual sea and the blood sea. As for the place where the blood sea is stored, it is located in the heart, the first of the five internal organs.
After Qin Xuan made his decision, his mind became concentrated and his lips slightly opened. A stream of emerald green air flew out of the spirit crystal and was directly swallowed by Qin Xuan into his stomach.
In an instant, Qin Xuan only felt that his stomach seemed to be on fire and his whole body trembled slightly.
For those who practice body tempering, the perseverance and the pain they need to endure are far greater than those of ordinary cultivators.
On Qin Xuan's body, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out and gradually soaked his clothes. After a while, he was sweating profusely as if he had been poured by a heavy rain.
On his skin, the veins bulged and the mist rose.
In the heart, drops of essence blood gradually condensed. According to the operation of the Evergreen Secret Art, the blood in his body rushed and poured into the heart.
This process was extremely painful, but Qin Xuan's brows never frowned from the beginning to the end. His expression was as usual, without sadness or joy, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.
Until the sky turned white, Qin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and a flash of light passed through his eyes.
He slowly stood up, and his body was covered with a layer of sticky sweat and filth, which was caused by the purification of the body by the spiritual energy.
In his heart, the one-zhang blood sea was slowly churning, and the Evergreen Body was finally initially condensed at this moment.
Qin Xuan smiled slightly and suddenly punched out.
In the air, the air was crazily compressed and exploded with a bang.
The sound of the air explosion was like thunder and echoed in the whole villa. Fortunately, the sound insulation effect of this villa was very good and Qin Xuan didn't worry about waking up the woman.
This punch could even kill a brown bear.
This was just the initial stage of tempering the Evergreen Body. When cultivated to the Great Perfection, Qin Xuan could even fight a real dragon with his bare hands and suppress a heavenly phoenix with his fists by relying on the Evergreen Body.
The benefits of the Evergreen Body were not only this. Qin Xuan's fingers were like knives and gently slid on the skin. A tiny cut appeared on Qin Xuan's palm and blood oozed out.
In Qin Xuan's eyes, the tiny cut actually began to heal. Although it was very slow, it was hundreds of times faster than the normal healing. In just a few minutes, the cut disappeared without a trace.
"Finally condensed, but unfortunately this spirit crystal is useless!" Qin Xuan sighed gently. The spirit crystal in his hand had completely lost its spiritual energy and was no different from an ordinary stone.
He directly walked into the bathroom and took a comfortable bath before coming out and changing into a set of clothes.
It was already broad daylight outside. Qin Xuan looked at the time and was just about to leave when suddenly, a sharp scream rang through the whole villa.
Even the sound insulation of the Still Water Pearl couldn't block this scream full of emotions such as panic, confusion and shame.
Qin Xuan frowned and shook his head with the jade pendant in his hand.
That woman had woken up!
