In a towering mountain peak, there are birds singing and flowers fragrant everywhere, and it is full of life.
Only somewhere on the mountainside was shrouded in a strange black mist, and it was completely empty. The originally healthy vegetation, trees, flowers, and rocks were completely corroded by the mist, leaving only a solitary figure sitting in it.
He wore a large black robe, which completely covered his figure and facial features, but his palms were exposed and often had some weird fingerprints on them.
His hands looked like dry tree branches, with a thin layer of skin covering the hand bones. When the fingers were slightly bent, they made a crunching sound.
Then a breeze blew by, and the wide hood was lifted, revealing a face that looked like a skeleton.
If we say that the Northern Barbarian High Priest who stirred up troubles on the battlefield of Ten Thousand Poisons Palace is like an old man who has one foot that is like hell and will die with just a slight push.
At this moment, the black-robed man in front of me can no longer be described as a 'person'.
There are a few strands of long gray hair on his head, and there is no flesh on his face. Just like his palms, there is a thin layer of wrinkled skin close to the protruding bones.
"You look so scary." Xia Jinyu took out a folding fan and covered the lower half of his face, revealing a trace of helplessness in his exposed eyes.
[Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties] smiled. There was no tooth in his open mouth, and the only tongue that existed was bluish white. At the same time, his voice was as harsh as nails scratching on a blackboard.
"This is all worth it. How does my current strength compare to [Sword Madness]?"
Xia Jinyu thought for a moment and said:
"It's still a little bit close, but it's hard to tell when it comes to actual combat. What you're doing is a trick. Even if a warrior in the Xiantian realm fights with you, he might be killed without noticing."
[Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties] nodded, and then solemnly saluted Xia Jinyu:
"Thank you Master Xia for taking care of me these days."
Although Xia Jinyu did not officially accept him as his disciple, he had already acquiesced in this title.
"So you're ready?"
[Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties] nodded.
The environment of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is unique for [Niu Niu Afraid of Difficulties]. He can get a huge amount of experience points every day without doing anything.
But just three days ago, Niu Niu suddenly found that the prompt box that kept popping up to increase various values stopped.
According to Xia Jinyu, his realm has reached a threshold that is difficult to break through if he continues to practice hard, which is equivalent to the transformation of a warrior from the Qi Condensation realm to the Pulse Opening realm.
Niu Niu's guess is that the damn system will not give him the opportunity to crazily increase his health and mana.
Then he looked at the personal interface that popped up in front of him.

After Niuniu accepted the main career serial mission, Xia Jinyu's test, all his previous martial arts training had been abolished, such as the free and easy mind method, the Yijin Forging Bone Medal and the Xiaoyaksha Staff.
At the same time, the personal panel has been directly replaced by the magician's panel.
(The realms of magic are Yunfan Realm, Yushu Realm, Divine Refining Realm, Energy Transformation Realm, Xuanmiao Realm, corresponding to the Martial Arts Tempering Realm, Qi Condensation Realm, Pulse Opening Realm, Xiantian Realm and Grand Master.)
As for this body that is invulnerable to all poisons, it was the Ten Thousand Poison Pills sent by [Sword Crazy Sword Maniac] two days ago from the people at Huangquan Gambling House, and was refined with the help of Xia Jinyu.
"Then this can be regarded as your next test."
Xia Jinyu was silent for a moment and said.
Niu Niu looked at the interface that popped up in front of him and clenched his hands subconsciously.
[Triggering the main career serial mission—Xia Jinyu’s test (3)]
[Grade: Xuan grade top grade]
[Task description: There are no shortcuts in martial arts, there are spells. This is the road where you have to spend your resources hard or risk your lives! Fortunately, you have a very good teacher, so you learned an excellent spell.
Secret technique!]
[Task requirement: Use the secret technique·Yuan Seizing Technique to devour the spiritual power of ten Tongmai Realm warriors and one hundred Qi Condensation Realm warriors!]
[Task reward: Xia Jinyu’s friendship level will open the next stage of the task and meet the conditions to break through to the God Refining Realm! 】
[Note: With your current ghost appearance, if you are exposed, you will be treated as a monster and beaten to death with sticks, but if you choose to resurrect now, the ghost-eating ghost body will also be destroyed.]
[Note: The breakthrough of the Magic Mage is accompanied by great risks. As a player, you are special and can trial and error unlimited times, but unfortunately this system will not give you this opportunity.
Each player who switches to practicing magic will only receive three tasks to break through the realm of refining gods, and the difficulty of each time will gradually increase. If all three tasks fail, then you can only remain a little person in the realm of imperial magic.
It’s trash.]
Niu Niu took a deep breath. The previous mission reward for the first level was to start the spell panel. The mission reward for the second level was to choose from a complete set of high-grade mystical spells and a fragment of a top-grade local level spell.
.
Obviously Niu Niu chose the latter, and this third link begins to determine whether he can successfully break through.
And what he knows better is that the most important thing about this reward is to start the next stage of the task!
Only in this way can he continue to move forward on the path of magic, and it depends on whether the extremely shrewd man in front of him will accept him as his disciple.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then his eyes looked at the ghost-eating ghost body in the special talent column.
【Ghost-Eating Ghost Body】
[Explanation: A special body that was unexpectedly achieved after absorbing the Yin element without restraint and allowing one's body to be completely eroded by the Yin attribute. ]
[Effect: Can spontaneously absorb Yin elements and smelt them into mana, and the power of Yin attribute spells is increased by 0%, the resistance to Yin attribute spells is increased by 90%, and the resistance to Yang attribute spells is reduced by 90
%!]
[Note: It is an unexpected gain, which means that once lost, it will disappear forever!]
[Note: It will always bring you unbearable severe pain, which is a hundred times worse than being bitten by countless ants all over your body!
But when it comes to you, a guy like you who knows how to turn off all pain without any martial ethics, this counter-effect is equivalent to non-existence. Of course, the ugly appearance may be considered, but as the price of becoming stronger, being ugly is nothing.
What.
After all, one of your companions cut off his favorite big baby in order to become stronger.】
"Master Xia, am I really ugly?" Niu Niu has never looked in the mirror these days. He just looked at his hands that looked like tree branches. He could probably imagine what he looked like.
Xia Jinyu carefully looked at [Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties] and replied:
"It's not a question of ugliness. People can be described as beautiful or ugly, but you have transcended this level."
Then he took out a white mask from the space ring, with a piece of pure white on it, and put it directly on Niu Niu's face.
"This is prepared for you to conceal your identity."
Niu Niu was a little confused and said:
"I'm not famous either, so it doesn't matter if I'm exposed."
Xia Jinyu was silent for a moment and said seriously:
"Hide it if you can. After all, ghost markets also pay attention to their image."
[Niu Niu is afraid of difficulties]:......
"Okay, it's time for you to set off. I've given you the space ring, and I've also told you some recent information. Among the eleven areas of Nanxuan Prefecture, apart from the Xuanliu Area, there are more important arrangements.
Of the remaining nine realms, your good friend [Sword Crazy Sword Crazy] is in the Xuanfei Region, and the Rootless Demon is in the Xuanyue Region, so you can choose one to join forces with."
Xia Jinyu unfolded the folding fan in his hand and waved it gently while saying.
"No need." Niu Niu said with a firm expression, "It's time for me to go out on my own."
Xia Jinyu nodded, arranged for one of his men to send him away, and then dispersed all the strange black mist in this place with a wave of his hand.
Then he took out a newspaper from the ring, which was the new edition of Daxuan Weekly that was just released a few days ago.
The home page was naturally given to Mu Che, who highly praised Mu Che for his actions in gathering troops, including Wangyouguishi who came to help.
The words were so exaggerated that it was as if Mu Che's analysis was like a keyboard warrior possessing him, as if the Ten Thousand Poison Palace would be crushed to death as easily as a little ant.
And among the information he just learned, he knew that Mu Che's first battle was a disastrous defeat.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this flattery is really cruel."
As for the second page, it continues to publicize the ugliness of the Ten Thousand Poison Palace. Once the information about an evil sect is dug out, even Daxuan Weekly, which occupies the entire year, will not be able to finish it.
"It seems that Emperor Xuan is really planning to crush the Ten Thousand Poison Palace to death with one finger. Now it's useless even if the court and the rivers and lakes don't interfere with each other."
Then he turned to the third page, the theme was recruitment!
The recruitment announcement initiated from the Xuanhuang Territory constantly promoted the legitimacy of the Daxuan Dynasty, thereby stimulating the patriotism of some people in the world.
What made Xia Jinyu raise an eyebrow was that there was an advertisement in the corner of the third page, which was posted in the name of his Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
However, some of the businesses advertised only belong to one of the seven shopkeepers.
"Sister Liu has surrendered. The influence of the sixth child is limited. The fifth child is a member of King Wuwei. But this time, the third child who targeted me has been watched by my people, and I have cut off a lot of his business.
He shouldn't have the time to do this.
So all that’s left is the second child.’
Xia Jinyu touched his chin. The emergence of a new thing is not so easy to be accepted by everyone, just like advertising.
Although the players are very aware of this, they are not enough to influence the decisions of the leaders of the various forces.
In addition to the deputy owner of Tianji Building, [Jianghu Baixiaosheng], after all, he created the Daxuan Weekly, so he will be more convincing.
And now everyone knows that he has taken refuge with Emperor Xuan.
'Is the second child a member of Emperor Xuan? Although I'm not completely sure, I can mark it first.'
Then he continued to read through it one after another, and the remaining sections were more complicated, including interesting stories about the world, a new policy announced by the court, and some poems and prose.
But what concerned him the most was the last page, which asked questions in the form of an interview to guess who the strongest warrior under the age of thirty was in the land of Kyushu.
And 70% of the answers in this interview were Qin Fan.
‘Is this a warm-up for the Qianlong ranking battle, but it looks like another round of flattery.’
Xia Jinyu sighed worriedly. As far as he knew, it was the interval between the two Xuan Weekly newspapers. Some small forces also tried to do this, but the next day they came to check the water meter.
Liumen, who is usually lazy, has shown ten thousand enthusiasm and enthusiasm in this matter. Maybe there will be some Taoist monthly report or Buddhist annual report in the future, but in recent times, anyone who wants to get involved in this industry will
Hit hard.
'Forget it, never mind, I'm still under house arrest now, and the Lord also said not to worry about it for the time being.' Xia Jinyu put down the newspaper, but picked it up again after thinking about it.
And turned the page to the advertisement that was previously suspected to be issued by the second shopkeeper. It is not difficult to verify this, just follow the advertised business and check.
'This can be an opportunity for the third child to bite the second child.'
Then he took out a voice transmission token from his sleeve and began to contact his capable generals.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As one of the seven shopkeepers of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, it is the limit for him to be temporarily under house arrest in the secret realm. If further orders and prohibitions are made, he can definitely find him
The big shopkeeper complained.
So Xia Jinyu can also use his own power to help Qin Fan from another direction.
'Haha, if you don't allow me to provide military support, I'll start a business war if I get too anxious and see who dies faster!'
After Xia Jinyu put down the sound transmission token, he shook the closed folding fan handle with great satisfaction. With a tactic, he lay back on the rocking chair and prepared to take a nice nap first.
...
These three days are very busy for most people.
Mu Che was busy mobilizing troops and generals in order to eradicate the Ten Thousand Poison Palace in one fell swoop during the next siege. He had to rush to the release of the next issue of Daxuan Weekly and successfully complete this battle.
The Poison Punishment Alliance in the small village is also very busy, busy completing various low-risk and high-reward tasks issued by Mu Che.
The players in the Wangyou Ghost City camp are also very busy. They are eager to teach the leaders of the forces how to paddle before the decisive battle begins.
A serious failure coupled with internal filth has forced those power lords who really came for justice to die and retreat.
The remaining ones who could stay were no longer so pure, so they readily accepted the central idea of paddling and began to implement it unswervingly.
The Ten Thousand Poison Palace, which had just won a victory, was also very busy. As Mu Che arranged for three people to use the Five Poison Pearls to disperse the poisonous mist, they naturally could not just watch helplessly.
Therefore, both Zhu Wuyan's side and Tuoba Jin's side, including Shi Liuxiao, symbolically sent some experts to interfere.
Of course, Zhang Guyen, who pretends to be the elder of Ten Thousand Poison Palace, also takes action frequently.
Only Qin Fan was very idle and was addicted to practicing martial arts and couldn't extricate himself.
