After curing most of the Wild Boar King's injuries, Xue Chen did not take it away, but continued to leave it here, waiting to make a fuss about it in the future.
His idea was to train the Wild Boar King to be more powerful, so that he could at least guard the Baiyun Mountains for him. After all, the Wild Boar King was considered the "local snake" here, so he couldn't be more suitable.
After returning home, Xue Chen immediately got busy, running around and delivering more than twenty cloud gold shields to his relatives and friends, telling them to wear them on weekdays.
After Wei Shang knew about this, he took a cloud gold shield from Jiang Huilan and examined it. He was surprised to find Xue Chen: "Did you refine this some time ago?" When he found out more about it,
Finally, I felt quite a shock in my heart.
"The Ma clan traded me a 30-kilogram piece of iron mother, and I just wanted to learn more about refining spiritual weapons, so I practiced my skills by refining the cloud gold shield." Xue Chen said.
"Yes." Wei Shang nodded and sighed softly, "It seems that you have some talent in refining spiritual weapons, and you can master the refining of cloud gold shield so quickly. However, I have something to remind you.
"
"Brother Wei, please speak." Seeing Wei Shang's serious expression, Xue Chen also faced him seriously.
Wei Shang said that a practitioner's energy is limited, and there are too many things worth studying in practice, such as creating spiritual weapons, refining spiritual elixirs, cultivating spiritual beasts, even studying spiritual scrolls, and even more mysterious spiritual formations.
In addition, there are many, many more...
"These are all things that a practitioner may encounter on the way to practice. No matter which one they are, they have their own unique charm, attracting practitioners to immerse themselves in them. But no one can master everything, no one! More people
Choosing one or two of them is the most, and definitely not more, because that will delay the cultivation of the great path, do you understand?"
"This..." Xue Chen was thoughtful.
"You have to understand that realm is the foundation of a cultivator. Compared with realm, everything else is a side detail, and the base should not be affected by side effects. That is to abandon the basic and pursue the end. A practitioner cannot be just because of the side.
If you need a spiritual weapon, you should study it yourself, if you need a spiritual elixir, you should refine it yourself, that is absolutely impossible."
After saying this, Wei Shang walked away, leaving Xue Chen alone to think about the truth.
Xue Chen murmured in his heart: "It seems to make sense."
Because he got a piece of rock essence, he didn't want to waste it, so he thought about refining the spiritual weapon by himself. Now, he got a piece of earth spirit root from the Bai family. Although he hasn't acted on it yet, he has actually done research on it.
He planned to refine the elixir, and he never gave up cultivating Gray Ball and Golden Eagle...
"It seems that these side details have indeed delayed me a lot of time. If I really do this and want to dabble in and study everything, then the result may be that I am mixed but not refined, and accomplish nothing. If I want to achieve the great perfection of crystal refining
The time is more economical and can be postponed indefinitely.”
After careful consideration, he made a decision. He should continue cultivating Gray Ball and Golden Eagle. He already had the weapon refining information of the Ma clan in his hand. He could also do it occasionally. As for the research on alchemy, at least
It must not be touched for the time being, and more time and energy should be spent on improving the realm.
After thinking about this clearly, he made a decision in his mind.
From that day on, he spent more time on improving his realm, without any distractions and no longer being distracted by other things.
When a person puts all his energy into one thing and continues to do it persistently, the results will be gratifying. Now, the fifth of the nine edges and corners of the spiritual crystal has been polished by the wash of spiritual energy.
Time also passed quickly. In a hurry, more than a month had passed since he entered the Baiyun Mountains to search for the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations. It seemed that this incident had become a thing of the past.
Xue Chen stood in front of the window and looked into the yard. It had just snowed. Erniu was building a snowman by herself. Gray Ball lay lazily aside and watched.
"Still no response."
He stretched out his hand and touched the position between his eyebrows, where the Jade Eyes were. Ever since the Jade Eyes left the body and came back, there had been no sound, as if they were asleep. It had been almost a month and a half, but still
Nothing has changed, and it no longer absorbs spiritual energy.
He was still a little worried about this. After all, it was the biggest contributor to his being able to get to where he is today, and its status in his heart was extraordinary. However, he had no idea what to do and had no idea what to do.
All we can do is wait slowly.
Just when he was slightly distracted, the cell phone on the desk rang. It was Jing Yunxing from Beijing.
"Xue Chen, have you contacted Gao Dewei recently?" Jing Yunxing asked with a slightly worried tone.
Xue Chen was startled for a moment and said: "No, Brother Gao and I haven't been in contact for a short time. It must have been three months." During these three months, he has been busy running around, indeed
I have not contacted Gao Dewei.
"I feel something is wrong..." Jing Yunxing's tone became more serious and dignified, "Have you noticed that in the past, Gao Dewei liked to post on WeChat Moments very much, but he has not posted one in the past three months.
Yesterday, I called him and I noticed something was wrong with him."
"Something's wrong? What do you mean?" Xue Chen frowned and felt faintly that there seemed to be some problems with Gao Dewei.
Jing Yunxing said that Gao Dewei's attitude was very indifferent, and his tone of voice was completely different from the past, as if he was a different person. Moreover, he hung up the phone without saying much, and when he called again, he couldn't get through.
"There must be something wrong!" Xue Chen also felt nervous. Jing Yunxing and Gao Dewei have been friends for many years, and Gao Dewei is an optimistic and cheerful person by nature. How could his personality suddenly become dull? The only possibility is that something went wrong.
Jing Yunxing sighed and said very worriedly that he was worried about what problems Gao Dewei would encounter in Canada, but he was currently working on a big project and was unable to go.
"That's good, I will rush over as soon as possible to see him. Don't worry, nothing will happen." After a few more words, he hung up the phone and Xue Chen also called Gao Dewei.
The phone beeped a few times and then the call was connected.
"Brother Gao?" Xue Chen said hello with serious eyes.
"Is something wrong?" It was Gao Dewei's voice, but just like what Jing Yunxing said, his voice was very deep and lacked the lightness and joy that one should have when chatting with old friends.
"Brother Gao, did something happen to you?" Xue Chen frowned even more tightly.
Gao Dewei said calmly: "I'm fine, I still have something to do." As soon as he finished speaking, the call was hung up.
Something must have happened!
Holding the mobile phone in his hand, Xue Chen's face darkened. Just as Jing Yunxing guessed, something must have happened to Gao Dewei, and it was serious!
After taking a deep breath, he immediately started to prepare and told Wei Shang and Sister Jiang that he would go abroad tomorrow.
"Huh? Why do you want to go abroad suddenly? You look serious, you seem to have encountered some problem?" Wei Shang asked when he saw Xue Chen looking wrong.
"Something happened, and it has something to do with my friend." Xue Chen briefly talked about Gao Dewei and the problem.
Wei Shang nodded, thought about it seriously, and said: "According to what you said, your friend did have some problems. He seemed to have fallen into some kind of hypnotic state. Otherwise, he would not have become what you said."
, you should be more careful after going abroad, and don’t forget that there are practitioners abroad as well. Although they are different from those in our country, some of the methods are more insidious and vicious."
Early the next morning, the Sunshine private jet took off from Haicheng City Airport, headed straight to Canada, and landed at St. John's Airport ten hours later.
He did not contact Gao Dewei again, rented a car and rushed to Taoyuan Farm. As the car passed through the urban area of St. John's, he was surprised to find a Taoyuan fresh food store.
"Have you actually opened a branch here?"
Although it was just a quick glance, one could clearly see a lot of customers coming in and out, and it seemed like business was going very well.
St. Johns is not very close to Taoyuan Farm. It took him almost two hours to pass through countless farms and finally saw Taoyuan Farm from a distance.
After entering the Taoyuan Farm, he drove all the way towards the seaside until he reached the newly built living area, and then stopped the car.
When he got out of the car, he saw some people walking back and forth, but most of them were new faces. They looked like they should be newly recruited workers.
He stopped a worker and asked, "Where is Gao Dewei?"
The worker looked at him and said, "Mr. Gao is not here. He went to St. John's because a branch opened today."
"I understand, thank you." He glanced around and soon found a familiar face, it was old Tony, an old employee of the farm.
He quickly walked over and stood in front of old Tony.
"Mr. Xue, is it you?" Old Tony was surprised when he saw Xue Chen.
Xue Chen also keenly noticed that there was something wrong with old Tony's expression, as if he was a little worried.
"Old Tony, my friend, is there something wrong with Gao Dewei?" Xue Chen asked directly without making any detours or the need.
Old Tony looked around carefully and said with a worried laugh: "I think you are right, Mr. Xue. Mr. Gao seems to have some problems. He... seems to be a different person, different from the past.
.”
"Oh?"
"About three months ago, one day Mr. Gao came back from outside and was very angry, saying that someone wanted to recruit him to join an organization, but he didn't agree..." Old Tony recounted while recalling. (To be continued)
