Lin Ruhu looked at the exercises written by Xu Zimo. After reading them once, his eyes lit up.
He felt that the cultivation method of this technique was suitable for him. He was not interested in practicing before, and even the technique was selected for him by his grandfather.
But now after seeing the exercises Xu Zimo gave him, he felt something about to move in his heart.
……………
The practice of "Strength Jue" requires the blood of countless monsters to be integrated into the body, and these monsters must be good at strength.
…………
At noon, a bald man in black came to Xu Zimo's courtyard.
"My subordinate Black Thirteen, under the order of the deputy sect master, went to Tianjian City with the young master," the bald man said.
It is dressed in black, has a burly build, has an obvious scar on its face, and has a bald head, giving it a particularly vicious look.
"Black Thirteen should be a member of my father's Black Guard," Xu Zimo thought.
Then he said to Lin Ruhu: "Ruhu, go to the mission hall and issue a mission.
As for the content of the mission, just write that you will accompany me to Tianjian City.
The mission reward is ten spiritual crystals per person. There are only three people at most, and their cultivation level must be at the Pulse Condensation Realm or above.
We will set off in three hours."
"Okay," Lin Ruhu nodded, and then went to the mission hall.
……………
Xu Zimo looked at Black Thirteen in front of him and asked with interest: "What is your cultivation level?"
"My subordinate is in the realm of Kongmai," Black Thirteen touched Guangguang's head and said naively.
Xu Zimo touched his chin, "If there are no surprises, then the strongest person in the Chang family is only at the true pulse level and has opened three pulse gates."
……………
In the afternoon, Lin Ruhu came back from the mission hall, and he brought three people with him.
There are two men and one woman, one of whom is at the Pulse Condensation Realm, and the other man wearing a green robe is at the True Pulse Realm.
"Junior Brother Zimo," the three of them greeted each other quickly when they met, and then each introduced himself.
The names of the man and woman were Tang Huaiyuan and Xiao Yu respectively, and the name of the other young man in the True Pulse Realm was Feng Buyu.
"I'll help you all this time," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
Several people waved their hands quickly and said they didn't dare to take it seriously.
……………
Then the group went to the sect's Royal Beast Pavilion, hired several first-level monster beasts and flew desert horses, and ran in the direction of Tianjian City.
Among the few people, only Black Thirteen has reached the Sky Pulse Realm and can fly freely. The others must travel on monster beasts.
……………
When leaving the sect, Xu Zimo felt something in his heart and looked at the position above.
I saw Sixth Elder Xiao Yuexuan flying over the sky with a girl. The girl seemed to have noticed something, lowered her head and looked at Xu Zimo.
"Oh, the plot is about to begin," Xu Zimo said with a smile, "Bai Lixiao, welcome to the Zhenwu Holy Sect!"
…………
After a long journey, a few people arrived at a small village in the evening and planned to spend the night here.
"Baihuang Village," Xu Zimo looked at the name on the stone tablet in front of the village and said with a smile: "Interesting, really interesting."
The person who received them was the village chief, a middle-aged man wearing a black animal skin vest.
"I am from this Baihuang Village, you can just call me Wang Tao," the middle-aged man said boldly.
Then he led Xu Zimo and his group towards his home. In front of the houses on both sides of the street, many villagers looked curiously at the outsiders.
……………
After declining the dinner prepared by Wang Tao for everyone, the group returned to the room.
"I always feel that this village is weird," Feng Buyu frowned and said first.
"What's weird?" Lin Ruhu asked curiously.
"I also feel like something is wrong, but I just couldn't put my finger on it for a while," Xiao Yu, the only woman in the team, also said.
"Why are you thinking so much? Go to bed early," Xu Zimo chuckled and walked out of the house.
"Brother Zimo, what are you doing?" Lin Ruhu asked curiously.
"I'm going out for a walk," Xu Zimo turned to Black Thirteen next to him and said, "Thirteen, please don't follow me. I'm sure of your safety."
……………
After leaving the room, Xu Zimo walked towards the west end of the village.
Walking on the cobblestone path, the breeze blows gently, and there are scattered lights on in the houses on both sides.
Xu Zimo came all the way to the west end of the village, where there was a small shop.
A yellow flag was placed on the wooden board above the door, with several black characters written on it.
"Shili Blacksmith Shop."
It was getting late at this time, and the light bulbs in the store glowed with a dark yellow halo.
A man wearing a black shirt was still busy in the store.
His figure is not burly, but rather a bit thin.
He held an unfinished long sword in his left hand and a hammer in the other.
Every time the hammer falls heavily, there will be a "bang" sound.
The man kept banging like this, as if he was tireless. If someone watched for a long time, they would find that every time the man hit, there seemed to be a pattern.
Xu Zimo sat on the stone pier outside the blacksmith shop, watching the blacksmith with interest.
The man was very quick and he put the finished model into the stove and burned it.
For a long time, he took out the red-hot iron sword with nothing in his hand.
After blowing a few times, he put the iron sword into the sink next to it.
Just listen to the sound of "puff puff", and a burst of white smoke rises from the water.
The water around the iron sword started to boil "gurglingly".
……………
"Want to learn?" The blacksmith suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Zimo and asked.
"You can't teach me," Xu Zimo smiled and shook his head and replied.
The man didn't argue. He took out the iron sword soaked in the water and walked into the house.
"Even if you are the Sword Master, it won't work," Xu Zimo's voice suddenly sounded.
The man's footsteps paused, and he slowly turned around. There seemed to be countless long swords exploding in his eyes. The sword energy was everywhere, and his momentum was increasing little by little, staring closely at Xu Zimo.
"I'm very curious, why did the Sword Master Shili Changkong live in seclusion in such a small village and work as an ordinary blacksmith?" Xu Zimo seemed to not feel the sense of oppression coming from the other side, and said to himself.
"It has nothing to do with you," Shili Changkong said, his voice magnetic, and he replied calmly.
……………
"I think I can help you," Xu Zimo said.
He knew that Shili Changkong was very confused now because he had opened the five channels and reached the realm of Sword Master.
The next step was to find his own martial arts path, but he was stuck at this step.
He was hesitant about kendo, which he had been obsessed with for half his life. He didn't know which path to choose, or which path was best for him.
