After hearing Liu Hao's answer, Ou Xuanyang stopped talking nonsense, picked up the elixir and left.
Liu Hao went directly to the twelfth floor of the Spiritual Cultivation Tower.
After entering, he took the elixir and while recovering, he also took out the secret book of Guwu's landscape painting hidden in the storage bag.
This secret book has ten pages in total.
In other words, there are ten landscape paintings.
He had studied it before, but he didn't study it too carefully.
But after hearing Ou Xuanyang mention the secret realm of ancient martial arts, Liu Hao wanted to study it carefully.
About half an hour later, Liu Hao's brows wrinkled.
At first glance, these ten landscape paintings are completely different.
But if you look closely, you will find that the landscapes in these landscape paintings have not changed much.
The only change is that the location has been changed.
For example, in the first landscape painting, the mountains are at the top and the water is at the bottom.
In the second picture, the mountain is on the left and the water is on the right.
In the third picture, water lies between two mountains.
The fourth picture...
…
The entire ten paintings are almost composed of the same mountains and water, except that there is an extra house in the fifth and tenth paintings.
"It can't be wrong!"
Liu Hao murmured, "Judging from these pictures, they should refer to some changes in some kind of secret realm."
Secret realms are generally divided into two situations.
One is a man-made secret realm, which requires super strong strength to guarantee.
Usually these are some levels that some super strong people deliberately leave behind before they fall or ascend, wanting to leave good things to their descendants.
There is another kind, which is the secret realm of heaven and earth.
This is a natural formation. Sometimes, many different dangerous situations merge together through space cracks and suddenly appear in certain places.
Then, suddenly disappeared again!
Or, hidden in a certain place, at a certain period of time, it is opened for certain reasons.
The former type generally has great opportunities.
The latter one depends on luck.
If you have good luck, the opportunity will definitely be greater than the previous one. If you have bad luck, you may not be able to get anything if you go in.
There is even a possibility of encountering some death spots, which is simply seeking death.
From Ou Xuanyang's words, Liu Hao could tell that this ancient martial arts secret realm should belong to the latter.
Because there are powerful spiritual powers and many resources there.
This is not what a man-made secret realm can have.
“Gotta check it out!”
Thinking of his five major Dantians, Liu Hao became a little excited.
The powerful spiritual power is definitely very tempting to him who has five Dantians.
Opening the Five Dantians and converting all the spiritual power in the Five Dantians into special spiritual powers will increase his strength explosively.
How could he let go of such an opportunity?
You know, this is a low-level martial arts world, and it's not easy to find a place with such abundant resources.
call!
Taking a deep breath, Liu Hao temporarily put aside this idea and began to concentrate on recovering his body.
In the fight with Gong Yangyun, he was seriously injured.
Later, he even tried to use the fire spell 'Fire Dragon Roar', which almost destroyed his body.
Although he was finally suppressed, his body still suffered some damage.
It really needs a good recovery.
…
Three days later.
Liu Hao felt that he had almost recovered, so he left the twelfth floor of the spiritual cultivation tower.
Cultivating on the twelfth floor of the Intermediate Spiritual Cultivation Tower, for him now, there is no pressure.
This also gave him more expectations for the advanced spiritual cultivation tower.
However, as the saying goes, the road must be walked step by step and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.
This kind of thing cannot be rushed for the time being.
"I heard from Zhou Qingfeng that you broke through at the twelfth level and practiced at the twelfth level. I still don't quite believe it!"
As soon as they left the spiritual cultivation tower, they saw Ou Xuanyang and Xu Ying lined up outside the tower.
It was Ou Xuanyang who spoke, "But now I can't help but believe it!"
Then he said, "Do you know? You are the most powerful, terrifying, and mysterious young disciple I have ever seen in my life!"
Three words in a row are enough to explain Ou Xuanyang's inner shock!
Liu Hao smiled and said, "Thank you, Elder Ou!"
"It should be said that you are too humble!"
Ou Xuanyang smiled, then stretched out his hand towards Xu Ying beside him and said, "King Xu sent the princess here to invite you. She wants to meet you!"
"Is something wrong?"
Liu Hao asked.
"No matter what happens, there's no harm in going to see him!"
Ou Xuanyang said, "After all, King Xu is the most powerful here!"
"Oh well!"
Hearing this, Liu Hao nodded.
Although, from the bottom of my heart, I don’t want to waste time dealing with people like King Xu.
But when he was at Xu Guo Academy, the other party had spoken up for him after all, so it was appropriate to meet him and say thank you.
"lead the way!"
Liu Hao came to Xu Ying's side and said.
The tone was calm and polite, but in Xu Ying's ears, it seemed particularly harsh.
She frowned slightly, said nothing, and silently led the way.
After leaving the Hanyang Martial Arts Academy, Xu Ying said, "I actually didn't have any ill intentions regarding what happened at the Medicine Pavilion. Although I did have some selfish intentions, I really wanted to help you out, and I never thought about harming you!
"
This is also true.
Because, in her opinion at the beginning, Liu Hao had been targeted by Gong Yangyun. It would be fine if he didn't show up, but if he showed up, he would almost certainly die.
There is no such thing as whether to harm the other party or not. At most, it will only add one more crime to Liu Hao.
"Of course, if you have that misunderstanding, it may be that I did something wrong!"
Xu Ying lowered her head and said softly, "Here, I apologize to you, and I hope you can forgive me!"
It has to be said that with Xu Ying's attitude, coupled with the other person's appearance, temperament, identity, and tone of voice, it would be difficult for anyone to be angry again.
"Don't mention the past things again!"
Liu Hao smiled and said, "I'm not so narrow-minded, I won't really hold a grudge against you because of this!"
"kindness!"
Xu Ying responded in a low voice, "Thank you!"
When she said this, her face turned a lot more rosy, and she looked particularly beautiful.
But he lowered his head shyly, as if he didn't dare to look at Liu Hao.
Liu Hao was also confused. He didn't know why Princess Xu Ying, who usually looked weak but was quite generous, suddenly acted so shy in front of him!
But he didn’t ask any more questions.
Along the way, the two of them occasionally exchanged a few words. Xu Ying's performance was relatively calm, but her face was always rosy.
Moreover, every time he said a word, he would lower his head and his voice was very soft.
This made Liu Hao a little afraid to see her.
Fortunately, the road was not long, and it didn't take long for the two of them to enter the palace and meet King Xu.
Liu Hao bowed his hands politely.
"I have heard about your reputation and talents as Liu Hao for a long time. I have actually wanted to meet you for a long time. However, I am busy with the execution of affairs and due to the bad temper of the government, I really can't find a good opportunity to meet you.
!”
King Xu smiled and asked Liu Hao to sit down and said, "But when I saw him today, he is indeed a talented person, one of the best among men!"
As soon as they met, he was praised to the heavens by King Xu, which made Liu Hao a little uncomfortable, so he had to politely say, "King Xu, thank you!"
Then, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "I wonder why King Xu came to see me today?"
