Mind Cultivation Record

"Third Senior Brother! Is it really you? I knew it was you!" Xiao Chuqing cried bitterly and threw herself into Xiao Mian's arms, tears streaming down her face: "You're back! You're finally back! But... woooo... but Second Senior Sister can't see you back..."

At first, Xiao Mian was still worried about how to comfort Xiao Chuqing.

But when Xiao Mian heard Xiao Chuqing's last words, he suddenly trembled all over.

Slowly raising his head, Xiao Mian looked at Huangfu Ling beside him.

As strong as Huangfu Ling was, he couldn't help but turn his face away, not daring to look at Xiao Mian.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian turned his head and looked at Fu Qingjue.

At this time, Fu Qingjue's face was already full of tears, a mess...

"Chuqing! You...what did you say just now? Where is your Second Senior Sister?"

"Second Senior Sister she...she..." Halfway through the words, Xiao Chuqing burst into tears, but it was Huangfu Ling who suddenly said: "Qingqiong, has passed away more than a month ago!"

Suddenly, his mind trembled, and Xiao Mian fell backwards.

Fortunately, Xiao Chuqing was right beside him. After noticing Xiao Mian's abnormality, she immediately reached out and grabbed him. Even so, Xiao Mian's face was pale and his eyes were dull.

Fu Qingqiong - dead?

That cold and beautiful woman who had accompanied him to practice until the great perfection of the Qi training stage when he was in obscurity, was actually dead?

That extraordinary woman who helped him avenge his blood feud when he was in the most painful and helpless time, was actually dead?

That gentle woman who fulfilled his wish when he was determined to travel the world and chose to leave the sect, was actually dead?

Thinking about it all the time, Xiao Mian had been away for twenty years. In the dead of night, he had not imagined all kinds of possible scenes of him returning to the sect and reuniting with Fu Qingqiong.

There were flowers and moonlight, misty clouds and water, slanting wind and drizzle, and sunset afterglow...

The only thing Xiao Mian didn't expect was this ending - the beauty died!

His pale face suddenly turned red.

Then, a mouthful of blood as thick as red ink gushed out.

Too much grief, seven emotions sad!

It was not until this moment that Xiao Mian felt that the big stone pressing on his chest loosened a little, and he was so hard that he couldn't stop gasping.

"How... died..."

"The story starts from the siege of the Five Elements Sect..."

Quietly, Huangfu Ling talked about the cause of Fu Qingqiong's death.

After listening quietly, Xiao Mian realized that the reason why Leng Ningyu knew it was impossible to do it and rashly invited the great heavenly tribulation was for Fu Qingqiong!

More than a month ago, when Xiao Mian was in the Valley of Life and Death, welcoming the rematch of the Tiandu Martial Arts Association, an undercurrent swept towards the Five Elements Sect.

The Five Elements Sect was unaware of it.

At that time, Fu Qingqiong had successfully formed a pill and became a golden pill strongman.

On this day, there were some matters in Wanzong City that required Fu Qingqiong to go.

Fu Qingqiong didn't think much about it and set out on his own - after all, in Nanyuezhou, a Jindan strongman is already considered a strong cultivation, not to mention a cultivator from the Five Elements Sect.

However, it was this trip that caused Fu Qingqiong to encounter a big change.

When Fu Qingqiong barely escaped back, he was already poisoned and unconscious.

Then, the Demon Shadow Sect launched an attack on the Five Elements Sect.

Leng Ningyu was helpless against the poison that Fu Qingqiong was poisoned with.

As a last resort, Leng Ningyu repeatedly asked Dan Qiusheng to help treat Fu Qingqiong, but Dan Qiusheng repeatedly refused on the grounds that a big battle was imminent and it was not appropriate to easily lose him.

Seeing that Fu Qingqiong was poisoned, Leng Ningyu made up his mind to die.

Humph!

Since you, Dan Qiusheng, are unwilling to help, I will do it myself!

However, Leng Ningyu's physical condition is not suitable for summoning the great heavenly tribulation.

If he fails to cross the tribulation rashly, Leng Ningyu will die.

Without Leng Ningyu's favor, Dan Qiusheng would naturally be unable to save Fu Qingqiong - not to mention that Fu Qingqiong had died of poison before Leng Ningyu died!

Fu Qingqiong and Leng Ningyu died almost at the same time.

For this matter, except for the grief of the Bibotan lineage, there was no trace of grief in the Five Elements Sect. Even shortly after Leng Ningyu's death, Dan Qiusheng issued the seal of the head sect and ordered Huangfu Ling to fight the enemy without error.

For more than a month since then, the Bibotan lineage has been in turmoil.

If Xiao Mian came back a few days later, he might not even see Huangfu Ling - by then, Xiao Chuqing might have married far away in Luohua Valley!

"Good! Good! Good!"

After listening to Huangfu Ling's explanation, Xiao Mian uttered three "good" words in a row!

One is the death of Leng Ningyu, the second is the death of Fu Qingqiong, and the third is the difficulty of Bibotan.

Dan-Qiu-Sheng!

At that moment, a powerful wave radiated from Xiao Mian.

Xiao Chuqing and Fu Qingjue were only at the foundation-building stage, how could they resist such a fierce aura?

Even under the protection of Huangfu Ling, they were in danger.

Fortunately, Xiao Mian quickly controlled his emotions and suppressed them.

Heart demon!

Damn it!

The more such emotions fluctuate, the more the heart demon will come out to make trouble!

After silently reciting the "Sacred Immovable Sutra" in his heart and suppressing the heart demon, Xiao Mian slowly stood up and looked at Huangfu Ling.

Without saying a word, Huangfu Ling nodded.

"Come with me! She is buried in Shuiyun Peak!"

Shuiyun Peak is next to Bibotan, and it is the highest peak around Bibotan.

Back then, after taking the Huadao Pill, Xiao Mian built his foundation safely at the top of Shuiyun Peak and achieved his super-level Dao foundation!

Xiao Mian is no stranger to Shuiyun Peak.

But when we climbed to the top again, there was a big tree at the top of Shuiyun Peak.

Under the big tree, there is an extra grave.

The grave is brand new and free of weeds.

"This is her last wish!" Huangfuling said to herself as she led Xiao Mian to the big tree: "After you left, she planted the red bean tree here with her own hands. Whenever she had free time, she would come and see it. It. In fact, Master and I both know: She is here to see you!"

Shuiyun Peak is originally the highest mountain in Bibotan.

If Xiao Mian returns and stands on Shuiyun Peak, he will naturally be the first to see it.

pity!

Fu Qingqiong has been planting this red bean tree for twenty years, but she still doesn't expect Xiao Mian to come back.

Now that Xiao Mian is back, Fu Qingqiong has become the beauty in the tomb...

Life and death are separated, Yin and Yang part forever!

"Before she died, she begged Master to bury her here!"

"Sister! I want to be alone for a while..."

"..., that's fine!"

After a moment of silence, Huangfuling led Xiao Chuqing and Fu Qingjue down Shuiyun Peak.

At the top of Shuiyun Peak, Xiao Mian sat next to Fu Qingqiong's grave with his back against the red bean tree. He reached into his arms and took out a jade statue that was one finger long.

This jade statue is not exquisite, but it was carved by Xiao Mian's hand with one knife.

The jade statue was carved by none other than Fu Qingqiong.

Unexpectedly, the jade statue is still there, but the beautiful woman has passed away...

"Sister! I'm back!"

The title was just like that of the past, blurted out, inadvertently, heartbreaking.

Holding the jade statue in his hand tightly, Xiao Mian closed his eyes and let his tears fall slowly.

Who can be ruthless but ruthless?

Just leaning against the red bean tree, every detail between him and Fu Qingqiong flashed through Xiao Mian's mind.

From the Trial Valley that day, to Lingchuanfang City, and then to the Five Elements Sect, they fought against the four golden elixirs to attack the sect, until Xiao Mian made a great ambition to travel around the world.

Fu Qingqiong's figure became increasingly clear.

It's like - within reach!

But when Xiao Mian stretched out his hand, he found that it was just a dream.

Not to mention that Xiao Mian is only a golden elixir cultivator now, even the ancestor of Yuanying is helpless in the face of this kind of separation of life and death!

Feeling disheartened, Xiao Mian stared at Fu Qingqiong's grave in a daze.

Suddenly—suddenly, the corner of his eye twitched, and the spirit-peeping eyes began to operate quietly.

Subconsciously, Xiao Mian used his clairvoyant eyes to scan Fu Qingqiong's grave. What he saw was an unusually elegant coffin.

The coffin is empty!

There was an explosion in his mind, and Xiao Mian suddenly jumped up.

There was no body in Fu Qingqiong's coffin!

Huangfuling would naturally not lie to him, and according to Huangfuling, Fu Qingqiong's funeral was handled by Leng Ningyu before she died.

Although Leng Ningyu died due to the Great Heavenly Tribulation, he did not die from the Great Heavenly Tribulation!

Based on this calculation, could it be that his master had already made arrangements?

Not believing in evil, Xiao Mian once again used the spirit-peeping eyes, but this time, it was not an unintentional move, but he tried his best and spared no effort.

With the help of the spiritual voyeur, Xiao Mian not only confirmed that there was indeed no Fu Qingqiong's body in the coffin, but also found a letter in the empty coffin.

Putting away his spying eyes, Xiao Mian started digging the grave!

He wanted to see what was said in the letter left by Leng Ningyu!

With Xiao Mian's current level of cultivation, even without using other tools, he could dig up Fu Qingqiong's grave with just one hand in an instant.

What's more, there is no Fu Qingqiong in this grave!

Soon, Xiao Mian dug out the coffin and obtained the letter.

With the letter in hand, Xiao Mian's eyes narrowed.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian opened the letter.

There are ten lines in one glance, but every word is not missed.

This letter is Leng Ningyu's final work - before his death, Leng Ningyu could not even use the jade slips to pass on his merits, so he had to leave his will in the form of a letter.

When you look up the will, there are two words written on it - boy!

Seeing these two words, Xiao Mian knew that this suicide note was for him.

There are only four disciples in the Bibotan lineage, and Xiao Mian is the only male among them.

The things written in the suicide note are probably the following...

First, Fu Qingqiong was not buried at the top of Shuiyun Peak, but was sealed by condensed jade in the Xuanbing Palace - the Xuanbing Palace was thousands of feet deep below the Bibo Pond!

Second, Leng Ningyu hoped that Xiao Mian would not transfer his hatred to Dan Qiusheng. Leng Ningyu's death was due to fate, and Fu Qingqiong's disaster was not Dan Qiusheng's fault.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian didn't take it seriously at first, but when he continued to look down, his eyes suddenly focused, he clenched the letter in his hand, and Xiao Mian stood up.

In Bibo Cave, Xiao Mian found Huangfuling.

"Sister! Where is the entrance to Xuanbing Palace?"

"Xuanbing Palace? You...you want to pay homage to the master?"

Huangfuling's words made Xiao Mian feel guilty for no reason. But soon, he handed the letter in his hand to Huangfuling and motioned to Huangfuling to read it before talking.

After Huangfuling read the letter, just like Xiao Mian, his face was full of shock.

Without Xiao Mian's urging, Huangfuling pressed the mechanism on the seat.

The dark tunnel appeared again.

The next moment, the two of them had entered the tunnel and disappeared.

Deep under the Bibo Pond, Xiao Mian and Huangfuling arrived at the Xuanbing Palace.

Arriving in front of Leng Ningyu's crystal coffin, Xiao Mian suddenly knelt down, bowed three times and kowtowed...

"Master! Unfilial disciple, you came back late!"

"Xiao Mian! Master will not blame you! The top priority is to find Qingqiong first and see if she is still alive as Master said!"

One breath left!

This is the shocking secret left behind by Leng Ningyu at the end of his suicide note.

Fu Qingqiong did not die. At least, before Leng Ningyu died, she was still alive. It was just that the poison Fu Qingqiong was poisoned was anything but ordinary!

Based on Leng Ning Jade's estimation, it must be slowly refined by the Yuanying Ancestor using his own infant fire to gradually wash away the strange poison in Fu Qingqiong's body.

Following the instructions in Leng Ningyu's suicide note, Xiao Mian and Huangfuling found a secret compartment under Leng Ningyu's crystal coffin. In the secret compartment, Fu Qingqiong seemed to be sleeping.

After reporting Fu Qingqiong out of the secret cell, Xiao Mian's face changed slightly when he saw Fu Qingqiong's appearance - at this time, Fu Qingqiong's face was actually full of veins and looked like an evil ghost.

Suppressing the surprise and doubt in his heart, Xiao Mian used his spirit-peeping eyes and indeed felt that Fu Qingqiong still had a glimmer of life, and it was not completely cut off.

The next moment, Xiao Mian took out the longevity water.

This bottle of longevity water is really the only inventory Xiao Mian has on hand...

Treating a dead horse as a living horse, Xiao Mian directly poured half a bottle of longevity water into Fu Qingqiong's mouth, and then saw the veins on Fu Qingqiong's face gradually dissipating.

When the two saw it, they were overjoyed.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and within a moment, those veins reappeared.

At the same time, Fu Qingqiong, who was already somewhat vigorous, began to wither again, just like a flower that is about to wither - a thin line between life and death!

It seemed that it was these strange veins that were taking away Fu Qingqiong's life.

Based on Xiao Mian's knowledge in the poison path and after some testing just now, it is almost certain that these veins in Fu Qingqiong's body are corpse poison!

Corpse poison!

Could it be that the ghost who poisoned Fu Qingqiong was actually the ghost spirit of the ghost temple?

Probably not...

If Fu Qingqiong really encountered a terrifying opponent like Guiling who was at the level of the mid-level ancestor of Nascent Soul, how could he still survive and make it back to the Five Elements Sect?

Unless the ghost spirit can understand the temperament of Dan Qiusheng and Leng Ningyu, and then use Fu Qingqiong's poison to drive a wedge between them.

But thinking about it again, it seems impossible...

"Senior Sister! Did she say anything after she was poisoned?"

"This..." Seeing Xiao Mian's question, Huangfuling thought carefully and said to herself: "After the poison, she fell into a deep sleep for a long time, and she often talked nonsense, but she was talking about some past events with you and me. …By the way! Does she know Huangfu Wei?”

"Huangfu Guard!?"

A sudden name taboo made Xiao Mian's body run cold...
