"Benefits?" Lin Qi was stunned for a moment and said without thinking: "Of course there will be no benefits for you, Yaqin.
If we can successfully complete this mission, that old guy will give us something more than three times richer than before."
"three times?"
You Yaqin couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaimed. It seemed that even a woman like her could not conceal her joy in the face of tempting things.
"This puts me at ease. I won't give up on this mission."
You Yaqin finally stopped smiling and put on an indifferent face, while her eyes were full of fire, as if she had seen the "thing" that the "old man" in the two people's mouth wanted to give them.
"But I still have something to ask for."
Upon hearing this, You Yaqin looked at Lin Qi and motioned for him to continue.
"In addition to the three disciples mentioned, I want to kill one more person."
"Killing? Who?" You Yaqin was slightly startled and asked immediately.
"Su Xing."
"who is he?"
Apparently, You Yaqin, who had just come out of the mountain after having been in seclusion in the mountains for too long, still didn't know this Yuyang disciple who had already become famous in the outer mountains of Wanjian Sect.
However, Lin Qi didn't explain much and said disdainfully: "A disciple of our Taoist academy is just a little kid who has achieved great success in the Yuan realm."
"A small, accomplished disciple of Huayuan Realm, is he worthy of your concern?"
"Stop talking nonsense, we will share the old man's reward equally when the matter is accomplished."
"It's a deal."
After saying nothing, the two looked at each other.
"Ha ha ha ha."
After a moment, a burst of hearty laughter came from the depths of the cave. The laughter was so loud that it even frightened the birds standing on the treetops. They flapped their wings and flew away quickly.
…
Looking back to the west bank of the Mingyang River, the team led by Han An had been advancing along the river bank for more than two weeks.
However, because the four of them were walking and fighting, including searching for the whereabouts of the exotic treasures, even though two weeks had passed, they had just reached the middle of the Mingyang River, and were still some distance away from the entrance of the Demon-Judging Cave.
.
Now the positions of the four people as they advance have also changed over time. From the beginning, Han An was in front, and the three of them followed behind, to Han An and Su Xing in front, with Zhao Yiyun and Zhou Qinghan following behind.
The longer they stayed in the Mingyang River, the more Zhao Yiyun and Zhou Qinghan became more and more shocked by the strength displayed by Su Xing.
According to the two's original speculations, Su Xing, who has now reached the Yuan Hua Realm, should be a bit stronger than he was at the Demon Slaying Festival, but everyone's strength should still be at the same level.
But no matter which level six beast he faced along the way, Su Xing always used freehand swordsmanship to kill them with ease. So far, no level six beast has been able to take down Su Xing's three swords.
This kind of visual impact especially washed away Zhou Qinghan's impression of Su Xing. The senior sister who first brought Su Xing into the sect and stood up for him now actually began to need Su Xing's protection.
For her, this was truly a wonderful experience.
In addition to Zhou Qinghan and Zhao Yiyun, Han An also admired Su Xing more and more along the way.
Before coming to Mingyang River, he had heard Dean Jiang Lingyan mention Su Xing. At that time, Jiang Lingyan said, "He will be your helper there."
At first, Han An didn't take the dean's words to heart. He thought that no matter how strong Su Xing was, he was only a disciple of the Huayuan Realm. He couldn't withstand any waves, so he might have to protect himself.
But just by the first battle after coming to Mingyang River, he changed his mind about Su Xing.
A warrior like him who can cut through the body of a dragon and snake with one sword is enough to prove that Su Xing has a strength that is very close to the perfection of Huayuan Realm.
So for two weeks, the four of them carried out special experiences in a very tacit way.
Whenever they encounter fierce beasts, if they encounter a group, Su Xing and Han An will deal with most of them first, leaving the rest to Zhao Yiyun and Zhou Qinghan to hone their combat skills.
And if you encounter only one or two, then leave it to Zhou Qinghan and two people to handle it.
At that time, Su Xing and Han An would always go to the rocks on the river bank, sit down to enjoy the wind, enjoy the scenery, talk about their own experiences, and finally pay attention to the fighting situation of the other two.
Although this kind of training process sounds very strange, the help to Zhou Qinghan and Zhao Yiyun is still considerable.
Two weeks have passed, and both of them have noticed that they are getting closer and closer to a breakthrough, and their Dao Heart and Dao Foundation have become much more stable.
Just killing some level six ferocious beasts had little effect on Su Xing and Han An at this time.
Su Xing also gradually understood that the plan proposed by Han An when he entered the mountain was actually for the sake of his junior brothers and sisters who were still weak, and it did not help him at all.
The more he realized this, the more Su Xing respected Han An.
After being in the mountains for so long, he has never had anyone he admired so much.
Han An is not only a senior brother who considers everyone seriously, but also an extremely reliable partner.
What Su Xing didn't know was that Han An happened to view him the same way, and Han An was very satisfied and appreciative of his junior brother.
It is precisely because of this that the two communicate more with each other.
However, the thriving situation in the team only lasted two weeks.
Two weeks after entering the Mingyang River, Han An and others had reached the middle section of the river and decided to stop at a bridge to rest and recuperate for a few hours before setting off.
The first group of people to rest were Su Xing and Han An. As usual, they came to the rocks on the river bank and sat cross-legged in meditation.
Zhao Yiyun and Zhou Qinghan were patrolling around, vigilantly observing the surroundings.
Su Xing slowly closed his eyes. In this world, he quickly entered the state.
Every time a section in the Wanling Mountains goes deeper, the concentration and purity of its vitality will greatly increase. And in the Mingyang River, relying on the transformation of the spiritual water flowing in the river, the flow rate of vitality here is much faster than that of the sect and Duan
Yang Linli was several times faster.
If there were no ferocious beasts occupying it, this place could really be called a perfect holy land for spiritual practice.
However, just when Su Xing entered concentration and began to try to attract the vitality of heaven and earth into his body and use the Devouring Creation Art, something strange suddenly appeared in his Dantian.
In Su Xing's original Dantian, there are two things - vitality and Gangqi.
Yuan Qi is divided into three attributes, flowing in the body in three different colors. Gang Qi is the result of his cultivation of the Chaoyang Body.
Su Xing, who has cultivated the Chaoyang Body to the third level of Fierce Yang, now has a vortex of Gang Qi in his Dantian that is as big as a stone, and the white "Zhi Yang Qi" also flows along the limbs, meridians and acupuncture points throughout the body.
, the cycle repeats, transforming his body.
But this time when he entered concentration, something strange happened, which was this vortex of Gang Qi.
Looking inside the body, Su Xing found that the vortex of Gang Qi was flowing rapidly at this time, and streams of milky white Gang Qi began to fly in all directions in the body at a crazy and violent speed.
This feeling was like a gun suddenly exploding, which made him so painful that he fell to the ground with a wailing cry.
"Plop."
"Junior Brother Su!"
"Su Xing!"
Hearing the sound of falling to the ground, Han An and the other two people reacted quickly and helped him lie down on the flat ground.
In the eyes of the three of them, Su Xing's breathing became very rapid, his chest rose and fell greatly, his face turned red, and the veins on his neck popped out, making him look like he was about to suffocate because he couldn't breathe.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing that he was wearing a heavy mouth and rough clothes, the three people who had never seen such a scene all looked panicked and at a loss.
Han An hurriedly took out three reassurance pills originally prepared for himself from his storage bag and stuffed them into Su Xing's mouth without hesitation.
After a few breaths, they saw that Su Xing's crazily bullied chest gradually softened, and the red color on his face also faded. In the end, although he was still unconscious, his appearance had returned to its original state.
"call."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. If something unexpected happened to Su Xing here, as Su Xing's friends, they would not be able to forgive themselves.
"What exactly is going on? Why did Su Xing suddenly become like this?"
Zhou Qinghan frowned, with a worried look on his face.
"I don't know," Han An let out a long sigh, with cold sweat breaking down his back. "Could it be that my junior brother spent too much energy along the way and passed out due to lack of energy... In any case, we can only ask him again after he wakes up."
The three of them stopped talking and stood by silently, waiting for Su Xing to wake up.
