On the hillside, two slender figures slowly walked down the high slope and headed straight towards the river.
There are two young girls, one tall and one small, with simple clothes and beautiful faces.
The clothing and appearance are very different from those of the women in Yangshan City, so she must not be from Yangshan City. Since she dares to walk into the inner mountains of Yangshan alone, she must be a martial arts practitioner, but I don’t know what level she is.
Su Xing guessed that the two women had already walked to the river, leaned over and scooped a ladle of water from the river, half of which was used to wash hands, and the other half was stored in the kettles that they carried with them.
"This time the master asked us to go down the mountain to practice and look for the malleable talents in the thirty-six cities of Shuangmu Prefecture. It is a strange thing." One of the girls with a yellow flower on her head suddenly said.
"I'm afraid it's also because the royal family wanted to send too many disciples to our sect last year. The backbone of the sect is temporarily in short supply and needs to be replenished."
The voice of another girl in red is as sweet as the voice of a nightingale.
"Sect?"
Su Xing, who was hiding aside, suddenly frowned.
As far as he knew, there were two sects in Shuangmu Prefecture, the Yuezhao Sect and the Wanjian Sect. Both sects were located in the mountains behind Lincheng, the capital of Shuangmu Prefecture. The Yue Zhaozong and the Wanjian Sect were among the most prominent sects in the entire Dasen Dynasty.
There are only so many living beings, but those sects whose reputations spread thousands of miles are all within the imperial capital of the dynasty. The disciples of their sects are not visible to this small city like Kaiyan City.
"I'm afraid that's the case." The yellow flower woman looked up at the Feiliu Waterfall on the side, and then slowly said: "This time, the third elder of the inner sect and the senior sister also went down the mountain with us. I wonder where they are now..."
"Don't worry about where Senior Sister has gone. Anyway, we will meet up after three months. The most important thing now is to find some good seedlings in Yangshan City as soon as possible." The girl in red is not old, but her tone is extremely calm,
His whole body exudes a temperament that does not belong to his age.
The yellow flower woman chuckled: "That's right. Fortunately, we were assigned to Yangshan City, and there is Yangshan Mountain next to the city where we can retreat. But... we have been walking around in the past few days, and there seems to be no sky in Yangshan City.
A person with extremely high scores.”
"Next time we go down the mountain, we will visit the major families in the city to see if the good seedlings are among the famous nobles."
"Okay, okay. I just hope I can go back to my hometown to visit before we gather."
"..."
As they spoke, the two stood up and walked towards the slope they came from. As their backs became farther and farther away, their voices gradually disappeared into the sound of running water.
Su Xing walked out of the bushes and patted the branches and leaves off his body.
"The sect went down the mountain to recruit disciples? The last time Wanjian Sect came to Kaiyan City to recruit people was three years ago. I wonder if the two of them are disciples of Wanjian Sect."
He shook his head and lamented that now was not the time to care about things that had nothing to do with him. He walked back to a giant tree and prepared to practice other martial arts skills he had brought with him.
…
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, there are only two days left before the March appointment.
Yangshan.
The hidden mountain cave south of Jinghu Lake is like a perpetually moving vortex that can swallow all things, constantly absorbing the vitality of the mountain.
Yangshan is originally a mountain that gathers spiritual treasures, and every rock in the mountain is filled with spiritual energy. The purity and content of the vitality here are inherently mellower than those in cities and towns.
In the cave, Su Xing closed his eyes and crossed his legs, sitting on a flat rock.
He was surrounded by a light red light screen, and the vitality that continuously flowed in from outside the cave flew above this barrier. After being tempered by the barrier, it flew into Su Xing's body.
As the colors of the six spiritual stones on the ground became darker and darker, the red color of the light screen became lighter and lighter, until finally it became transparent and disappeared.
Wisps of white steam rose up from every pore on Su Xing's skin, and filled the small cave for a while. The clouds and mist made the place look like a cave left by an immortal.
Su Xing used his spiritual consciousness to look inside his body. He clearly saw that the transparent spiritual root film that was attached to his bones three months ago had now turned into a golden periosteum, completely covering it.
Live your own bones.
Feeling the transformation all over his body, in addition to this layer of golden periosteum, he also noticed that his strength and consciousness were now several times stronger.
"The Qi gathering state is perfect."
A short sentence came out of Su Xing's mouth calmly.
With just two days left before the three-month appointment, with the help of the Huayuan Formation and the Kaiyuan Jue, his realm finally reached the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm.
"Fortunately, I have comprehended the subtle level of Yuan Transformation Formation, which has nearly doubled the efficiency of the entire practice. Otherwise, I can only achieve a small success in gathering energy now."
"Furthermore, my soul power is now at the fourth level of the mortal realm, and the range and power of the spiritual arrays I can set up have reached another level."
The Qi Gathering Realm is complete and the spiritual roots have grown. But Su Xing has no idea how long his spiritual roots are, and he even said what grade his spiritual roots are now.
"It's time to go down the mountain."
He must return to Kaiyan City tomorrow, and he still has some unfinished business in Yangshan City, so he must seize the time to get down the mountain now.
After walking out of the cave, the scorching sun in front told Su Xing that it was noon. After washing up at Jinghu Lake, he walked down the mountain.
…
Returning to Yangshan City after a month, Su Xing felt that everything in the city was already very familiar to him.
Seeing that his portrait was no longer posted on the city walls and notice boards inside the city, Su Xing took off the curtain on his head, revealing his fair and delicate face.
"call."
Breathing the air freely in Yangshan City for the first time in three months made him feel much happier for a moment.
Passing through the main street of Yangshan City, he first had a meal of wine and food at Qingyue Tower, and then headed towards Dengtian Pavilion.
When he walked into Dengtian Pavilion, the beautiful girl who met him was already an old acquaintance of his.
"Welcome to Dengtian Pavilion. What does this guest need?"
Meng Ling walked toward him with a flattering tone and a face full of flowers, just like the first day she saw him.
Su Xing then thought that this was the first time she had seen his true face after taking off his hat. No wonder she didn't recognize him. He chuckled secretly and deliberately touched the silver spirit ring on his finger.
Meng Ling naturally saw this in her eyes. She opened her little mouth slightly, showing an extremely surprised look. At the same time, she said uncertainly: "Are you... Mr. Su?"
Su Xing smiled and nodded.
This time, Meng Ling was even more surprised. She had originally heard from the shopkeeper that Mr. Su was probably the talented young master of the Su family in Casterly Rock City, but she didn't expect that this talented man was so young. Although he had a calm temperament, his face still had hidden secrets.
A touch of tenderness that has not faded away.
She cooed, not daring to hesitate, and quickly invited Su Xing into the VIP room in the pavilion.
Su Xing only waited for a stick of incense in the room full of tea fragrance before the door was pushed open by Wu Bing, the shopkeeper of Dengtian Pavilion.
Wu Bing was also slightly shocked when he saw Su Xing's appearance, but the mature shopkeeper had long learned to keep his expression low, and his appearance was still as respectful as before, unchanged from before.
The dream spirit behind him entered with him, holding an exquisite cloth bag in his hand.
"Uncle Wu, according to our agreement, I will take away three of the six formation stones." Su Xing took the cloth bag from Mengling and said to Wu Bing.
"Of course. After leaving Mr. Su, this formation stone will be a piece of waste, not worth mentioning. But Mr. Su has promised us that the remaining three formation stones will be used to store more advanced Huayuan formations."
"It will take me at least a week to advance the nine-way advanced formation. I will return to my family today, and after a week, I will have someone deliver it to Uncle Wu."
Wu Bing was not surprised by Su Xing's mention of leaving, he nodded.
The two of them had interacted with each other many times in the past three months, and Wu Bing was very convinced that Su Xing would not trust him easily.
And in his heart, he has long recognized that Su Xing is now the leading genius of the Su family in Kaiyan City!
"The fourth-grade spiritual stone I mentioned to Uncle Wu before..."
"Here." Wu Bing clapped his hands, and Mengling handed another cloth bag to Su Xing, who immediately deposited it into the ring.
The ten pieces of fourth-grade spirit stones stored in the cloth bag cost Su Xing a full ten thousand gold coins, which was almost half of his entire possessions. But considering their uses, Su Xing did not dare to save this huge sum of money.
After finishing the business, Su Xing knew it was time to leave.
"Thank you to Uncle Wu for taking care of you over the past three months. I will never forget this kindness. If Uncle Wu needs anything in the future, I will definitely do it myself."
As Su Xing spoke, he picked up a pen and wrote a line of text on the paper. That was the address of their Su family.
Just when he was about to hand the paper to Wu Bing, he heard a loud noise from outside the door.
"boom--"
Immediately afterwards, a shouting sound reached everyone's ears.
"I know your kid is here, get out of here!"
Su Xing's hand paused, and a coldness emerged in his eyes.
He couldn't be more familiar with the owner of this obscene voice!
